Chapter 1369 Obsession with the Living and Obsession with the Dead
"Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, I'm afraid this person is not as simple as he appears."
The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue said with a slightly surprised tone.
Jin An asked what to say?
The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue asked Jin An to pay attention to the opponent's sleeves and collar position, and observe them carefully for a while.
Hearing this, Jin Anxin's head moved. He saw that the other party's skin was covered in white patches inside his clothes. It seemed that there was nothing abnormal about his body. However, he did not relax his observation. Under continuous observation, he discovered other details.
He had a strange book in his hand, "Collection of Corpses", and had a detailed understanding of the proportions of the human trunk, limbs, and head.
After he paid more attention to observe, he found that the crazy and thin middle-aged man in front of him had uncoordinated body proportions.
And at this time, he thought about it, the face of the other person was just an ordinary person, with rough and slightly dark skin on his face. He was a hard worker. How could he have snow-white skin as delicate as a woman's?
At this time, the thin middle-aged man was still digging holes like crazy, as if he didn't realize that there were two strangers around him.
In response, Jin An did not interrupt him from digging the hole, but directly chose to pull down his long sleeves, exposing the white patch of snow under his neck.
This is actually a zombie.
The body is made up of two human bodies spliced together.
No wonder he felt that the proportions of his body were wrong. His Chinese-character face did not match his slim body. It turned out that his scholar's body was on top of a middle-aged man's head.
Jin An only touched the clothes without interrupting, so the thin middle-aged man continued digging.
He let go of his hand and showed a thoughtful expression: "It seems that he is not digging a hole, but looking for a body with missing parts."
Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue: "I think so too, but there is one thing I still can't explain. What does his not wanting to die have to do with finding his body?"
Jin An didn't think for long and said with a smile: "Instead of making random guesses, let's help him find his body and the answer to the mystery will be revealed."
After finishing speaking, Jin An looked at the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord.
The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue is not confused: "I am not the old dog raised in the Taoist temple. I don't have a dog's nose to find the source of the corpse."
Jin An nodded firmly: "Indeed, Qianyan Daojun, you are not a dog, but when it comes to finding the source of corpses, you are the most professional."
The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord looked suspicious: "Martial Dao Corpse Immortal, why do your words sound weird? It seems like you are praising me, but also seems to be scolding me."
Jin An said that time is tight, we must quickly find the plague-repelling tree, help Yujing Jinque to break the situation, and help everyone share the pressure. We will talk about these unimportant things later.
The Thousand-Eyed Daojun statue still wanted to speak, but was finally interrupted by Jin An: "Do you still want to find Qing Xi as soon as possible to claim credit?"
Sure enough, Qing Xi's reputation was much easier to use than Jin An's, and the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue immediately helped find the source of the corpse.
It's just that the location is a bit unexpected.
The statue of Thousand-Eyed Daojun was eventually found dead under an old locust tree in the forest.
There is a noose tied to the old locust tree,
Don’t forget what the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue was doing before coming to the Five Zang Taoist Temple. It is particularly sensitive to human scent and can quickly determine its location.
Jin An used a scabbard to dig a hole about six feet deep, and he dug out a headless body.
It saves him having to do it himself.
In fact, he had several ways to find the source of the corpse, but since there was a statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord, he didn't have to do everything himself.
The Yin Qi in the small underworld was cold and heavy. The body was nourished by Yin Qi and showed no signs of decay. This also allowed Jin An to find the real cause of this person's death.
"Look at his headless neck, there are bruises on the skin caused by the hemp rope that is unique to hanged people. It seems that the real cause of his death was not death from the plague, but hanging." Jin An pointed to the position of his neck and said to Qian
The statue of Eye Daojun said.
Next, Jin An brought back the body and threw the headless body in front of the thin middle-aged man.
But the next scene was completely unexpected by one person and one evil god.
The thin middle-aged man who was still digging for the body looked at the recovered body. He first moved for a moment, and then touched the body excitedly, as if to confirm whether it was his own body.
After confirming that it was his own body, his expression suddenly changed, he hugged his body and started crying.
This scene made Jin An and the statue of Qianyan Taojun silent.
Jin An pondered: "Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord, I suddenly realized that we have overlooked a very important point."
The Thousand-Eyed Daojun Statue said with some sadness: "Yes, we shouldn't have found this headless body. As long as we don't find the body, his thoughts will still be there."
"We seem to be helping him find his body, but in fact we are cutting off his thoughts, which is equivalent to telling him face to face that you are dead and there is no possibility of survival."
This is exactly what Jin An wants to say.
He took it too much for granted at first, thinking from the perspective of a living person, ignoring that the obsession after death is very different from the obsession of a living person.
He applied the idea of a living person to a dead person to the dead.
In fact, because people have too many obsessions in life, but their life span is too short, most people in this world do not want to see themselves die.
He heard the despair and sadness from the other party's howling, and then watched the other party lose his breath with his own eyes.
Bang.
The body and head are separated, and the head falls to the ground.
The head fell to the ground, his eyes widened in despair, staring at his headless body.
At this moment, Jin An saw unwillingness and obsession in the dead man's eyes.
This time, the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord did not take credit for his work or eat the heads of people on the ground. Instead, he comforted Jin An with a few words: "This is his life. You don't have to think too much, martial arts corpse immortal."
"Let's go, we have to find the plague-repelling tree as soon as possible to help Fairy Qingxi and the others break the situation. We have wasted too much time here. Since the clue here is broken, we continue to find the plague-repelling tree."
Jin An didn't move a step.
"Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, you don't have to blame yourself too much..." The statue of Qianyan Daojun wanted to continue to comfort Jin An, but was interrupted by Jin An's next words.
Jin An: "Do you still remember what I said before? This trip to the Taoist Yellow Courtyard and the group cannot rely on simple killing to understand the truth behind it and find the obsession and truth that supports the existence of the Taoist Huangting.
The key to breaking the situation."
"Everything in the world has emotions. As long as there are emotions, there must be obsessions that cannot be let go. Even true immortals have personal obsessions."
Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue: "But he is completely dead."
And they were killed by their own hands.
Jin An raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkled, and he said energetically: "Today I am going to compete with Little Underworld. Those who I don't allow to die will see whether Little Underworld will accept them."
The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Master looked at it in a daze: "What earth-shattering thing do you want to do, Martial Arts Corpse Immortal?"
Jin An did not hide anything, and said with twinkling eyes: "I have the "Record of Collecting Corpses" and the Eighth Transformation Art of Exorcising Corpses. Let me see what you went through during your lifetime and what your obsession is after you come back to life!"
