soul shifting

"Wow! Is he the ice hero?" Shen An said excitedly.

"Well," Elder Shen nodded: "I was really surprised when I found out. I thought Ice Hero was an old senior, but I didn't expect him to be only a young man, and he is also very handsome."

"How handsome?" Shen An raised his eyebrows: "Is it more handsome than Xiaoyu?"

"Well..." Elder Shen approached Han Xiuyu for a closer look, and touched the back of his head in confusion: "I think they are on par, and their facial features are somewhat similar if you look closely... Could it be that there are handsome people in the world Are they similar in appearance?"

"Impossible." Shen An vetoed it, and shook his head solemnly.He sat cross-legged for a long time, his legs became a little numb, so he tilted his body, changed to a chic side-lying position, stretched out his hand and patted his chest: "I'm handsome too, I don't look like Xiao Yu at all."

"You...how can you say that you are handsome, hahahahaha..." Elder Shen laughed in a low voice, and after a few seconds, not only did he not have the intention to stop, but he gradually laughed backwards and forwards.Shen An didn't expect Elder Shen's smile to be so unique, in order to avoid embarrassment, he also laughed twice; I don't know if it was for the same reason, Han Xiuyu and Jue Ming soon joined in.

After an inexplicable smirk, the four finally regained their senses; Elder Shen rubbed his stiff face, and continued to talk about his glorious deeds.

——After flicking the monk's big knife, the man yawned, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned to Elder Shen, and said lazily: "Brother, please deal with it first, save a few survivors until dawn So that we can take the two of us to find their abbot."

The two monks saw that they had encountered a hard stubble, and wanted to run away, but Elder Shen chased them up and knocked them unconscious.

Why not go to the abbot now?Elder Shen wanted to ask that person, but when he turned around, he saw that he had slipped back into the bed again, his breathing was long and rhythmic, and he fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

Elder Shen: "..."

This must be a few days without sleep?

There was a chaotic sound of copycats outside the door. Seeing that their companions hadn't come out for a long time, the monks were ready to go together; Elder Shen was full of power and majesticly rushed into the enemy's line, as if cutting melons and vegetables. When it was dawn, except for the little monk who brought the porridge to Elder Shen who had been hiding behind and did not come forward, there was no bald donkey that could stand in the entire Putuo Temple.

"You! Don't hide and come here!" Elder Shen pointed to the little monk.

The little bald donkey was frightened and ran into the back hall.

"Don't run away!" Elder Shen shouted, trying to pick him up, but the door of the apse opened at this moment. Last night, the young man who "sleep is the most important thing in the world" took the little monk behind him and gently hugged him The elder flicked his wrist: "Brother, he is still a child, and some things are beyond his control, so don't make it too difficult for him."

Elder Shen withdrew his hand, secretly taken aback.It's not because the sleeping gentleman can wake up at dawn and still be very energetic, but because of the strong internal force contained in his light strokes.Elder Shen has never seen such an internal force before. It is light and ethereal, but thick and hides murderous intent. It is like an abyss full of mist. It is impossible to see through it, but you can feel its invisible pressure.

"I'm not Shen Chengquan," Elder Shen clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Dare to ask the young hero's name?"

"Acceptance," the man clasped his fists in return, and smiled slightly: "My surname is Han, and people in the world often call him Ice Hero."

"Ice hero?" Elder Shen was startled, and blurted out: "Is it the ice hero who beat those beasts in the Soul Refining Hall to death? I thought he was an old man!"

"Brother Shen was joking," Daxia Han said, "I'm still far from Lao Ke."

He walked out of the apse, and was bathed in the faint morning light in an instant; he was dressed in a snow-colored gown, tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, standing like a branch of a Qiong tree in the courtyard, capturing the essence of heaven and earth; The ink-dyed hair swayed lightly under the breeze, which set off an extremely handsome face more and more white, and the faint smile was elegant and indifferent.

"It's really a boy born from a hero." Elder Shen said in his heart.

"Let's go, let's meet the abbot of Putuo Temple." Han Daxia waved at the little monk: "Little master, please guide me."

The little monk said that the abbot had been staying in the pagoda, so he led Elder Shen and Daxia Han to the mountain.According to what he said, the Putuo Temple was originally a temple with a lot of incense and blessings, and the monks never did anything bad except occasionally breaking the precepts to drink alcohol and eat meat.One day a year ago, when the abbot came back from a trip, he suddenly changed his temperament, saying that practice is useless at all, it is better to use the world's trust in monks to rob and steal money.Many monks were terrified and hurriedly left the Putuo Temple, but many stayed behind and gradually started beheading people.

The single believers who came to burn incense and worship Buddha, and the passers-by who stayed at night, were all their targets.After murdering them for money, the abbot didn't share the money with them, but asked them to send the corpses to the pagoda in the back mountain. He didn't know what they were doing.

When the three of them arrived near the ancient pagoda, Daxia Han told the little monk to go back, and he and Elder Shen sneaked in quietly.

Going down a narrow stone staircase, there is a small door that is ajar, and a little dim candlelight shines through the crack of the door.The supposedly quiet and quiet Buddhist resting place is now filled with smog, a strange and strong smell of medicine comes to the nostrils, accompanied by the gurgling sound of boiling hot water, and the looming white steam.Daxia Han gently pushed open the small door, Elder Shen tiptoed and looked in over his shoulder.

The abbot stood in front of a cauldron half the height of a person, stirring the boiling blue soup with his bare hands.The skin on his entire arm had been scalded off, and the white bones were faintly visible under the blood-red muscles, which made people shudder.

"Hello!" Elder Shen shouted, but the abbot seemed to be unable to see them, only the pot in his eyes.

Han Daxia looked at the abbot's bald head, a square-shaped thick steel needle was inserted into the Baihui acupoint in the middle of his head: "He has a needle control technique."

Elder Shen looked at the steel needle on the old monk's head and pulled it out.

"Don't move!" Han Daxia hurriedly said, but it was already too late, the needle had already been pulled out by half of the needle by Elder Shen.The abbot trembled violently, and then fell to the ground, his eyes wide open but motionless, like a puppet whose strings have been cut.

"Is... is he still angry?" Elder Shen asked nervously.

Daxia Han frowned and sighed silently: "Yes, but I won't live long."

As soon as he finished speaking, the abbot suddenly took a breath like he was out of breath, hugged the hideous wounded arm and rolled over, a shrill scream broke out from his mouth, mixed with unbearable sobs of pain: " Ahhhhhhh my hand!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,hhhhhhhhh, it's a pity that the bins are empty of.With a piercing growl, he stumbled to his feet and rushed out of the room.

Elder Shen was stunned, and Daxia Han glanced at him: "Brother Shen, have you never heard of acupuncture?"

Elder Shen shook his head.

"Needle control technique is the technique of Soul Refining Hall," Daxia Han said with a frown. The resonance of the cavity stimulates the brain and makes people use it for themselves like a puppet. Once the needle is controlled, the person is hopeless. If the needle is not pulled out, the person will never regain consciousness, but if the needle is pulled out, the needle will They will release poison again, and they will die from the poison in as few as three days and as long as a week."

Elder Shen's eyes widened: "The abbot..."

"You only pulled out half of it," Daxia Han said, "He should live a few more days."

The soup in the cauldron originally only exuded a pungent medicinal smell, but as the two talked, the medicinal smell gradually faded, and a disgusting bloody smell became stronger and stronger.

"What's in this pot?" Elder Shen asked, holding his nose, and took a closer look, and saw that the blue soup had turned into the color of excrement.

"The medicinal solution for refining the soul pill," Han Daxia found a lid to cover the pot to hide the disgusting smell: "It's already broken, this thing must be stirred with the flesh and blood of living people all the time to keep it fresh."

Next to the cauldron were two piles of things, one pile was livid-faced corpses, who had been dead for an unknown period of time, but they were not corrupted at all; Significantly increased internal power.

According to Han Daxia's speculation, the abbot should have met people from the Soul Refining Hall during his travels, and he was controlled by the needle control technique, so he was forced to secretly refine soul pills for them. The people who were robbed and killed by the monks of Putuo Temple became souls. Dan's ingredients.

"People really have souls?" Elder Shen didn't quite believe it.

"Of course there is," Han Daxia said affirmatively: "The soul is the connection between man and nature. These corpses have lost their souls, so they have never decayed and can never return to nature."

Among the pile of corpses, there was a man dressed as a hunter, who was probably the husband of the poor woman on the mountain. Elder Shen collected his body and prepared to send it back to the woman. Ann, leaves fall back to their roots.

Han Daxia said that he would stay in the Putuo Temple and wait for the rabbit, and when the disciples of the Soul Refining Hall came to get the soul pill, he would let them come and go, and maybe he could follow the clues to find the whereabouts of their hall master Luo Yuxuan.Elder Shen said goodbye to him, and carried Orion's body up the mountain. When he was halfway up the mountain, he remembered that he had left his burden in the apse of Putuo Temple.

"The corpse should not be stolen..." Elder Shen thought to himself, leaning Orion under a big tree, and went down the mountain to get his baggage back to the temple.

The corpses of the monks in the apse had been cleaned up by Daxia Han. When Elder Shen opened the door and entered, he was wiping the blood on the incense table. The little monk followed him to help clean up.

"Brother Shen?" Daxia Han said, "Why are you back..." Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly clutched his chest tightly and choked out a mouthful of blood without warning.

"Hero Han!" Elder Shen rushed over to support him, not knowing what to do.He had never seen a person's face turn pale so quickly, it was like a brightly colored painting soaked by water, the rosy cheeks and bloody lips all faded in the blink of an eye .

Daxia Han shook his eyes as if his eyes were black, but he didn't faint. He waved his hand lightly, and said in a weak voice, "Brother Shen, don't worry, I'm fine."

Elder Shen helped him to sit down, the young monk brought a cup of hot water tremblingly, Daxia Han drank it, closed his eyes and rested for a while, his face finally looked better.

"What's wrong with you?" Elder Shen asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I was woken up last night and didn't sleep well."

Elder Shen: "..."

He felt that the expression on his face at that time must be very exciting, because not only Han Daxia, but even the little monk couldn't help covering his mouth and secretly laughing.

"I have a chronic poison that depletes vitality," Daxia Han explained with a smile, "I'll feel a little sad if I don't get a good night's rest, and I'll recover after a while. Brother Shen, don't worry."

Elder Shen nodded solemnly: "I've never heard of such a drug, who poisoned you?"

"Luo Yuxuan." Daxia Han said calmly.

"Oh!" Shen An patted his thigh: "Is that why he wants to seek revenge from Soul Refining Hall and Luo Yuxuan?"

"No, he went to Luo Yuxuan for a one-on-one fight because he promised others to destroy the Soul Refining Hall for the people, so he was conspired to poison him." Elder Shen said, sighing: "At that time, his health was already very bad. Well, I advised him to give up and not risk his own life. But he said: 'If you have promised others, as long as you have breath, you must do it'."

"Then what happened next?" Jue Ming asked.

"We said goodbye after that," Elder Shen said, "I went back to the mountain to look for the Orion's body, but I didn't expect it to be stolen by someone! I can't be sure that this is the woman's husband." , maybe it was some other hunter, so I didn’t look for her again, and went straight down the mountain.”

"How is the ice hero now?" Han Xiuyu asked with a dragging face.

Elder Shen took a sip of hot water and said sadly: "Probably not here anymore. After defeating Luo Yuxuan, I have never heard any news about him."

"A hero is a hero," Shen Anxin said, "I can risk my life for a single promise, when will I have the awareness..."

There were several owls screaming "Ou Ou" outside the temple, and it was already late at night before we knew it.Shen An bowed to the cobweb-faced Buddha statue a few more times, then moved the incense table to the side of the fire, spread a layer of straw, and used it as a simple bed board. The four of them lay in a row one by one, and it was right to sleep on it.

After lying down, Shen An silently calculated the expenses for the past few days in her heart.A total of 20 taels of silver, five taels of medicine was used for a week's supply, one tael was used in the brothel, and one tael of meatloaf, and now there are 13 taels left.Elder Shen's injury will take at least a month of medicine to heal, that is to say, 15 taels of medicine is needed, and they still have to eat...

It seems that in the next town, I really have to find a pawnshop to pawn something.

Worrying about making a living caused Shen An to suffer from insomnia, and turned over several times without falling asleep.He raised his eyelids slightly, and seeing Han Xiuyu next to him, not knowing whether he lacked a sense of security in a strange place or for some other reason, with his hands crossed on his stomach, his whole body lying flat, sleeping very seriously, he couldn't help but want to laugh. , just wanted to tease him.

Shen Jian pretended to be fast asleep, raised his leg and placed it heavily on Han Xiuyu's body, bending his knee casually.

...Damn it, it hit right there.

The author has something to say: Note: ①The pagoda is the place where the relics (relic ashes) of the monk are stored after his death, and the location is usually near the temple.
