Tianwei Chapter 318: A Better Plan (5)
Gamu made a seal with his hand, and a purple flame of the netherworld sprang out from his palm, circling around Liao Lao's soul. After one circle, Liao Lao's soul shrank into a ball, wrapped in the purple flame and returned to Gamu's hand.
You wait here, I will go to help my elder brother. Gamu handed the purple flame containing the soul of Liao Lao to the old Taoist priest, and then broke through the roof.
You guys wait here, I'll go take a look. The old Taoist handed the purple flame to me again, took a step forward, and immediately disappeared.
I was stunned for a while, then put Zi Yan in Fanran's hand: Find a place to hide, I will go out to help.
Oh... I took it subconsciously and turned my head instinctively: You are...
But when she turned around, she found that there was no one around and she was the only one left in the room.
I didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran out of the house, but I saw a black light as thick as a mountain pillar rushing towards the mountain of corpses.
The black light was so scary that even Wei Qingcang had to temporarily retreat. As for Gamu, he had already left the spot in a flash. The black light column hit the corpse mountain, and the whole mountain shook. Large rocks rolled down, and many houses collapsed due to the violent shaking. Fortunately, the disciples of the Tianshi Clan were used to hiding underground or in caves where there was no sunlight, otherwise, I don’t know how many people would be crushed to death with just this one blow.
However, the black beam of light did not only impact the mountain of corpses. In the next moment, it suddenly transformed into countless black spots and shot out in all directions.
Along the way, whether it was rocks or trees, or people or corpses, they were all mercilessly smashed into sieves. Wisps of black mist drifted out from the corpses, and in just a blink of an eye, half of the Heavenly Corpse Vein was covered by thick black mist.
Corpse formation! Someone shouted.
Deep underground, there was a roar like thunder, as if thousands of giant beasts were roaring to the sky. The black fog seemed to be hit by something and was broken up in pieces. At the same time, a large number of corpses walked out from all over the place, and they sucked all the black fog into their bodies like magnets.
In less than two minutes, the Heavenly Corpse's pulse became clear again, but at this time, the corpse controller screamed.
Those corpses that inhaled the black mist suddenly attacked the corpse controllers beside them. Dozens of disciples of the Tianshi Clan were caught off guard and had their chests pierced and their stomachs opened, killing them on the spot.
Don't let the corpses absorb those things! Form a corpse wind formation to drive them away! The older people saw the problem at a glance and immediately shouted loudly.
But the scene had already become chaotic. There were too many corpses that had previously inhaled the black fog, and they suddenly turned against them, causing the disciples of the Tianshi Clan to lose their composure.
Wei Qingcang did not go down to stop the chaos, but asked Gamu to summon the purple flame to burn some of the remaining black fog. He himself floated to a higher place and shouted in the direction where the enemy was attacking: If you don't stop, I will kill him!
The corpses below that were making trouble stopped immediately. Liao Xian'er's body flashed like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of him. She stared at Wei Qingcang, with a hazy black light on her body, coupled with her beautiful and quiet face, it seemed a little weird, but also made people feel inexplicably stunning.
Where is he? Liao Xianer asked calmly, as if asking a trivial question.
Get rid of those ghost things. Wei Qingcang replied.
Liao Xian'er did not hesitate at all. She moved her fingers slightly, and wisps of black mist floated out from the various corpses on the ground and returned to her body. Looking at the black mist that filled the sky like a stream, I suddenly felt as if countless blurry images passed through my eyes. It was like watching a slide show, but it passed too quickly and was difficult to see clearly. Vaguely, I felt that I seemed to have some understanding of Liao Xian'er, but it was not very real.
Let him go. Liao Xianer spoke again.
Wei Qingcang did not respond immediately. He hesitated a little, then retreated a little, and then looked at the old Taoist priest slightly. His meaning was self-evident. He wanted the stone, but he didn't want to make the old Taoist priest feel uncomfortable.
Although this shows his friendship with the old Taoist priest, it also proves from another point of view that Wei Qingcang is a man who keeps his word. Otherwise, he could have just agreed directly. With Liao Xianer's quickness just now, if she agreed to hand over the stone, she would definitely not delay or play tricks of giving the stone first and then the goods.
As long as Wei Qingcang gets the stone, what can Liao Xianer do if he wants to go back on his word?
If a real fight breaks out, if Wei Qingcang is not afraid of suffering too much loss in the Tianshi meridian, he may be able to repel her.
The old Taoist was silent for only a few seconds, then nodded gently. Seeing his gesture, Wei Qingcang immediately said: Give me the fragment that is the same as the big stone.
This time, it was Liao Xianer's turn to hesitate. She didn't agree as quickly as I had imagined. It was obvious that the fragments were very important.
Although I am not Mr. Liao or Liao Xianer, I understand that returning to the past is a luxury for everyone. But if this luxury becomes a reality, who would be willing to give it up?
Liao Xian'er was unsealed from the stone by Liao Lao. She has forgotten her past and does not know who she is or where she came from. But if she could go back to the past, all the mysteries would be revealed.
And the reason why she followed Mr. Liao, besides the fact that they once had a grandfather-granddaughter relationship, wasn't this also a reason?
Therefore, her hesitation was both unexpected and reasonable.
However, she did not hesitate for too long, only about a minute , and then she flipped her hand. A black light flashed, and several round stones appeared in her hand. Liao Xianer threw these stones to Wei Qingcang and said at the same time: Give him to me!
This time, her tone fluctuated a little, and she was obviously very unhappy.
Wei Qingcang waved his hand and scooped up the pebbles, then hesitated. At this time, the old Taoist who had been silent all this time stepped away and disappeared on the spot. In the blink of an eye, he appeared again, then stretched out his hand and threw something into the sky.
It was none other than the purple flame that contained the soul of Old Liao.
Can’t give it to her! Can’t give it to her! Fan Ran ran out of the house shouting.
Liao Xianer stretched out her hand and emitted a black light, holding up the purple flame, and then looked at Gamu. Gamu was also hesitant. He had always wanted to kill Liao Lao. Now was the best opportunity. Should he give up? If he gave up, he might not have another chance in the future. But if he didn't give up...
With Liao Xianer's ability, it is not difficult to completely destroy the Tianshi Vein and only leave a few powerful people like them.
The Tianshi vein was finally unified and was at a critical juncture of refining forty-nine emperor corpses. Gamu was not a fool and could naturally tell which was more important.
He snorted coldly, and made a seal with his hand. The purple flame wrapped around Old Liao's soul dissipated silently and merged into the void.
Liao Xianer's black light flashed, completely enveloping Liao Lao's soul, and then it did not stay, turning into a black meteor and instantly disappeared into the sky.
On the ground, Fan Ran was still shouting angrily: Why did you let him go? You should kill him!
Wei Qingcang and Gamu were a little embarrassed. After looking at each other, they didn't say anything. The old Taoist walked over, sighed softly, and said to Fanran: Go back. No one can tell whether it is a blessing or a curse. If you can take back the past... Alas.
She was slightly startled. She also thought of that point. Her face changed from gloomy to happy , but she stopped yelling.
Wei Qingcang and Gamu fell from the sky. The former walked towards us, while the latter went to instruct the disciples of the Tianshi Clan to reorganize the mountain gate and clean up the mess.
Liao Xian'er's attack came quickly and stopped quickly, but even so, it still caused great chaos to the Heavenly Corpse Vein. The collapse of the house was a small matter, but there were still dozens of corpses that killed the original corpse controller. This was a loss for the Heavenly Corpse Vein. It was not a serious injury, but it was painful.
Wei Qingcang did not complain about this. He walked up to us with the pebbles in his hands, handed them to us one by one, and said: One piece per person, you can do whatever you want.
I don't know if Liao Xian'er handed over all the stones. After we each took one, there were still two left. Wei Qingcang thought for a moment and said, "If you know anyone who wants one, feel free to contact me."
Looking at the ordinary pebble in my hand, I felt as if I were in a dream.
Can this help us go back to the past?
Can this thing really take people back to the past? I suddenly asked this question.
Maybe, maybe not. Wei Qingcang was not sure: tracing back the long river of time, going upstream, no one had ever experienced this.
Isn't there any record of this in ancient books? I asked curiously.
Yes. The old Taoist priest came over and nodded, saying: It is recorded in ancient books that there was a young girl in the countryside who fell seriously ill . After waking up, she said many unfamiliar places and names, and claimed to be one of them. No one believed her. A few decades later, the family moved to a nearby place, and the places and names appeared one by one, and then they knew it was true.
So amazing... I opened my mouth wide, but then I remembered that in modern historical records, there are many references to people claiming to be from the future. Moreover, most of these people were sick and unconscious, and only made strange remarks after waking up.
From this point of view, does the so-called return to the past require a carrier?
If that is the case, then it is not the body that goes back to the past, but our soul. The soul is a kind of energy, and energy can do anything, and it is also possible to travel through time and space.
So when our soul occupies another body, what about the other soul that is supposed to exist?
Will it just disappear, or go back in time to the future and make an equivalent exchange?
This is really hard to imagine, but I suddenly felt that maybe going back to the past is not a good idea. If it is really just the soul that goes back, it is not very useful and there are many risks involved. Otherwise, when there are time machines in the future, why are there no people with great abilities to change the world?
The only possibility is that although they came back, they lost all their abilities.
They only have souls, so they can make some shocking remarks, but they cannot do anything that will shock the world.
This may also be a limitation of the Heavenly Code. Only in this way can the heaven and earth function normally.
Holding the pebble in my hand, I couldn't help but feel troubled. Should I just give up? Or should I follow the old Taoist and go back to the past to start all over again?
But in reality, maybe I can only live my life again in that distant past and cannot change anything.
This is not a good thing.
