Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 02 A Breeze and a Soul
On a quiet and sparsely populated path leading to the coast of the South China Sea, an ordinary ebony carriage sped past. The driver had his eyes closed and was meditating, and the same was true for the two people in the carriage.
However, although one of them could not speak or move, his cursing skills did not decrease at all! At this time, Wei Xingying was scolding Gong Lili for the 101st time in his mind with his divine consciousness: "You idiot! How many times have I told you not to use the spiritual power of the eight extraordinary meridians! Use your spiritual consciousness! Just explore a little bit of spiritual consciousness!"
After being scolded like a pig for a long time, the extremely furious Ying Lili turned his head and rolled his eyes at Wei Xingying, thinking, it's so easy for you to say it, if you have the ability, just do it yourself, it's really easy for you to talk while you're sitting!
After the two of them reached a consensus to work together to break the curse on them and return to Yonghui City together, Wei Xingying generously taught the formula of the Soul Separation Guide that Long Yu had passed on to him to Ying Lili. Because Long Yu knew him too well, he was not polite at all when he took action. All the extraordinary meridians and spiritual consciousness were completely sealed. The spiritual energy and essence that he had cultivated for hundreds of years were all returned to Ying Lili in the previous alchemy in the secret room. So at this time, except for his eyelids twitching, he was basically equivalent to a useless person, and he didn't even need to think about using the Shadow Clone Technique that he had used before.
But it was different for Ying Lili. Although she was also bound by the curse, Long Yu did not attack her spiritual consciousness. Perhaps it was because her cultivation was not high and her own spiritual consciousness was so weak that it was almost non-existent, so Long Yu simply sealed Yao Ji's spiritual consciousness in her body.
This just gave Wei Xingying an opportunity. The Soul-Separation Spell that Long Yu taught him that day was a spell used for just such a predicament. Through the Soul-Separation Spell, the artificially enhanced spiritual consciousness could be transformed into a shadow clone, which could then move like a wandering soul. Although it would take a long time to practice to the point where one could move as freely and at will as a real body, as long as Gong Lili could comprehend the most basic skills of the Soul-Separation Spell and summon his shadow clone, he would have a way to get the two of them out of trouble.
So at this time he basically tried his best to give it a try, and stuffed the mantra of the Soul-Separation Guide into Ying Lili like cramming her, forcing her to learn and understand it quickly. Unfortunately, this stupid woman's ability to comprehension was too poor, which made Wei Xingying very angry, and he cursed her over and over again with his mind.
In fact, it's not the fault of Ying Lili. For someone like her who has changed her career late, she has neither the solid basic skills cultivated since childhood, nor has anyone taught her any detailed moves. Some of the spells she used before, such as the Binding Spell and the Netherworld Fire, were either drawn by the ladle, or purely controlled by Yao Ji 's consciousness in the body. Now that Yao Ji's consciousness is sealed, Ying Lili is like being beaten back to her original form, and has completely become an ordinary person who can only rely on herself. No wonder it is so difficult.
After all, cultivation requires a long process to build from nothing, but they obviously don't have the time. So, in fact, Pinglili was also very anxious, but the more anxious she was, the less she could concentrate, and she could not comprehend the mystery of spiritual consciousness.
After all, Soul Separation is a skill that can only be understood, but not explained. Moreover, no matter how aptly it is described, it will vary from person to person. When practicing and comprehending, courage, perseverance, wisdom and opportunity are all indispensable.
Just when Ping Lili was getting anxious, he suddenly felt the carriage shake violently. Before he could react, he felt that the carriage, which was originally galloping, was stopped by a powerful force. With the neighing of the horse, a strong force threw Wei Xingying and Ping Lili, who were originally sitting cross-legged on the soft couch at the back of the carriage, out at the same time. They rolled to the ground with two bangs, and their heads hit the thick curtain in front of them almost at the same time!
The collision was not light. It made Ping Lili's eyes full of stars and his ears buzzing. But he couldn't believe it. It was just a thick cotton curtain, why was it as hard as a stone wall? Ping Lili felt that there must be a big bump on his forehead at this time.
But he didn't have time to ask Wei Xingying for clarification. He only heard Wei Xingying's anxious voice in his ear: "Damn it! I'm afraid someone is attacking!"
A sneak attack? There was another buzz in Yinglili's mind. She suddenly felt like she was a piece of Tang Monk's meat, attracting evil people! What should she do? If Yao Ji's spiritual consciousness was not sealed, she might still be able to try her luck, but now she and Wei Xingying looked like sheep that should not be slaughtered! I'm afraid that any ruffian with mediocre kung fu could kill them both!
Just as I was in despair, I heard Wei Xingying's divine voice: "Since my uncle wants to send us away, he must have made arrangements. I think the driver outside must also have special skills. I can't say it's perfect, but it shouldn't be a problem to hold off for a while."
Ping Lili was feeling relieved when she heard this, but she didn't expect Wei Xingying to change the subject: "However, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person after all. If the other party has more people, I am afraid..."
This is good. Ying Lili's heart was once again in her throat because of his words. Her golden brown eyes flickered twice, and she suddenly understood the intention of Wei Xingying's words just now, which was to hint to her indirectly that they didn't have much time!
Suddenly, her earlobe trembled, as if she heard the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh and blood. Her heart sank again. Who was stabbed? At this moment, Ping Lili hoped from the bottom of her heart that the driver outside the chariot, whom she had never met before, would be safe and sound, and preferably have a unique martial arts skill!
Then, from the walls of the carriage came the sound of swords and knives, which was like a soul-stirring music. It was endless. Ying Lili's heart seemed to be in her throat again. Listening to the noise outside, there were so many people coming! Before, she was still wondering whether these people wanted to steal money or kill people. However, after fighting for a long time, she didn't even hear a single voice shouting. The uninvited guests outside were all rushing towards the carriage and just waving their weapons. She knew that the other party was indeed coming for her and Wei Xingying's lives!
But what surprised her even more was that the carriage was made of some unknown material, but it was as hard as a knife or a gun, including the cotton-like curtain, which was like an iron plate, airtight! It seemed that as Wei Xingying said, Long Yu had invested a lot in their safety.
But who were these sneak attackers? Before Ping Lili could think about it, Wei Xingying's thoughts in her ear interrupted her wandering thoughts again: "If you don't want to die here, quickly cast the Soul Separation Guide for me!"
Ping Lili was awed at the heart, and she quickly gathered her spirits, forcing herself to calm down. She closed her eyes and focused, silently reciting the formula that Wei Xingying had forced upon her before, intending to comprehend the mystery behind it...
However, some people are unwilling to give her so much time!
Boom!
A thunderous bolt with a deafening force seemed to have fallen from the sky and struck the top of the ebony carriage. If it were an ordinary carriage, it would have been shattered into pieces by the thunder and turned into ashes like the horses. However, no one knew what was so mysterious about this seemingly ordinary ebony carriage, as it was still intact . However, the body of the carriage was shaking violently due to the earth-shaking blow, and the bodies of Gong Lili and Wei Xingying were tossed back and forth like balls!
In such a chaotic situation, Ping Lili seemed to be lost in thought, with his eyes closed and his brows not even frowned, as if he didn't hear the earth-shaking noise outside at all.
When moving, no shape or shadow can be seen; when still, the real body must be there. The body becomes a shadow, and the shadow becomes a body. The body and the shadow become mutually separated and transformed. At that time, the body is the shadow, and the shadow is the body!
If you look from the outside of the carriage at this moment, it is even more horrifying. A huge black light shield rises up out of thin air and covers the entire carriage on all sides. Purple-black electric light flows on all sides of the carriage, making crackling sounds, as if it is patiently looking for a tiny crack somewhere in this seemingly solid carriage, so as to tear it into pieces in one fell swoop!
Not far from the carriage, the middle-aged carriage driver who looked ordinary before stood in the wind with an expressionless face, with a half-inch long branch stuck in his chest. It seemed that a long part of it had sunk into his chest, but no blood flowed out! It was as if the branch was not inserted into his body, but into the air! The aura emanating from the driver's body at this time was terrifying, and it was a naked killing intent!
Not far from him, in the air, a thin and elegant old man with silver hair and beard stood on his sword, looking very relaxed and confident. There was no little Luo Luo dancing with a sword in his hand. From beginning to end, the sneak attacker was only this old man!
And all the shocking movements before this were just some insignificant tricks played by the old man in the blink of an eye!
The old man looked at the driver with some amusement, then looked at the still unbreakable carriage, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, this Long boy is interesting! Really interesting! He actually has such skills! Today I want to see who this legendary shikigami is!"
