As wisps of hair-like dark gray energy lingered between the skinny old man's brows, the blank scroll gradually became gray.
Zhao Xingyan seemed to have regained some consciousness at this time. He sat up tremblingly from the wooden couch, still holding the scroll tightly in his arms, looking at the silent Ji Yuenian to one side with his cloudy eyes, hoarse
He said in a loud voice: "You... Yue... Yue'er..."
Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly and said: "You have suffered from the Yin Qi of nightmares over the years. Although your sanity has been completely eroded, it has also allowed you to survive in an extremely strange state. Now I will give you the power of your soul.
The yin energy of heaven and earth within you is taken out, which can temporarily restore your sanity in a short period of time."
Ji Yuenian thought there was something strange in Zhao Xingyan's body a while ago, so he didn't take action rashly. However, after a little contact with him, he concluded that Zhao Xingyan's soul was eroded by the Yin Qi of heaven and earth. As long as he took his soul deep into
When the Yin Qi from the nightmare came out, Zhao Xingyan would naturally wake up.
It's just that his soul and body have long been decayed. Now that he has lost the entanglement of the yin energy of heaven and earth, his skinny and bone-like torso has become even more rotten, as if a breeze can blow it to ashes.
Zhao Xingyan didn't know where the strength came from. He opened his sunken eyes and sat up on the wooden couch. He stretched out the bones of his left hand covered with only a layer of gray flesh and faced Ji Yue tremblingly.
He touched Nian's cheek and murmured: "Yue'er...Yue...Yue'er..."
Ji Yuenian quietly looked at Zhao Xingyan, who was about to lose his soul. His eyes were still covered by the endless azure vortex, and no one could see the true emotions in his heart.
"Yue...Yue'er...live...live..."
The skinny hand bones never touched Ji Yuenian's cheek. As a breeze blew by, Zhao Xingyan's entire body disintegrated into imperceptible gray powder and was completely annihilated in the dust of the soil.
A ball of deep gray light was suspended in the place where it dissipated. As soon as it appeared, it quickly faded, and it seemed that the next moment it would completely disappear into the unknown nothingness.
Ji Yuenian's thoughts moved slightly, and a yin energy from heaven and earth swept over, taking the translucent gray ball of light directly towards him.
This object is where Zhao Xingyan’s soul memory lies.
If Ji Yuenian had not expelled the nightmare energy from his soul just now, he would never have been able to detect Zhao Xingyan's obscured soul memory. Although Zhao Xingyan had passed away at this time, he finally got rid of the never-ending feeling.
The nightmare torture is also a kind of relief for him.
Looking down at the blurry gray ball of light in the palm of his hand, Ji Yuenian calmed down and pressed it directly into the center of his eyebrows without hesitation.
boom!
The vast clouds and mist in the depths of the True Spirit were dispersed, and scenes from long ago gradually emerged from memory.
…
Zhao family.
"Father, starting from tomorrow, you no longer need to keep vigil for me."
The beautiful girl in a brocade white dress gently raised her head and looked at the tall man in front of her quietly.
Zhao Xingyan frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I already said, it's just a little bit of yin energy. It doesn't bother me for the time being, so don't worry about it."
"I...that's not what I meant." Zhao Yinyue was silent for a moment and took out an object from her frost-like moon-white sleeves. "This object can protect me from the invasion of nightmares, so..."
"What is this?"
Zhao Xingyan reached out and took the thing, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
This is a human-shaped wooden sculpture about four inches long. Although the wooden sculpture is small, it is lifelike. But what puzzles Zhao Xingyan is that he has never seen the creature carved by this wooden sculpture, and has never even had any experience with this creature.
impression.
This creature has four eyes, six arms, bare feet, and a circle of lotus wood behind its head. The six arms hold Buddhist bells, golden drums, chimes, cymbals, ancient bells, and wooden fish, and are surrounded by
A billowing silk ribbon.
The entire wood sculpture is completely natural, and even the silk ribbon seems to be floating slowly, as if this wood sculpture will transform into a real living being at any time.
"This thing is very strange! Yue'er, where did you get this wood carving?"
Zhao Xingyan inadvertently looked at the four eyes of the wooden sculpture, and his heart trembled involuntarily. He quickly covered it in his hands, lowered his head and asked Zhao Yinyue urgently.
Zhao Yinyue raised her head and looked at him steadily, then slowly shook her head.
"Yue'er, this matter is not trivial, just tell me!" Zhao Xingyan's heart sank. Over the years, he has become very familiar with Zhao Yinyue's character. His current behavior obviously does not reveal the true origin of this thing.
Inform yourself.
"From today on, you don't have to keep vigil for me anymore." Zhao Yinyue gently opened Zhao Xingyan's tightly clenched palm and took the wooden carving back.
Although she has not yet awakened her true spirit memory at this time, Princess Ao Li's pride has already been deeply ingrained in her true spirit. Once she decides something, it is impossible for others to stop her.
"Yue'er!"
Zhao Xingyan looked at Zhao Yinyue's thin figure gradually retreating, and his mind was a little confused. From time to time, the four eyes of the creature flashed in his mind.
If Yue'er is kept with such an evil wood carving, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing at all.
…
Zi Shi.
Zhao Xingyan stood quietly outside the attic door, channeling his mysterious energy into his ears and listening to the movements in the attic.
Although Zhao Yinyue had made it clear that he would no longer be allowed to keep vigil at night, Zhao Xingyan was still worried. When the moon reached its zenith, he quietly walked outside Zhao Yinyue's attic to see how the wood carving could stop the nightmare.
Invasion of Yin Qi.
Quiet.
There was no sound at all in the attic, only terrifying silence.
The image of the wooden creature flashed uncontrollably in Zhao Xingyan's mind, and his mind became increasingly confused.
Zhao Yinyue was a very light sleeper. Not only would she sleep with her clothes on every night, but she would also toss and turn on the couch from time to time. It would never be as quiet as now.
After half a stick of incense, Zhao Xingyan could no longer suppress the anxiety in his heart and pushed open the wooden door of the attic. He concentrated his profound energy in his eyes and looked into the darkness in the attic.
In just a short moment, his pupils suddenly shrank sharply, his expression became extremely horrified, and his mouth opened to the limit, but he never really made any sound.
The moment before he lost consciousness, a cold and ruthless vast Sanskrit sound echoed from the depths of Zhao Xingyan's soul, and it has been deeply imprinted on his true soul memory ever since.
"Luo... Han..."
…
Fuliu City, in the abandoned courtyard.
Ji Yuenian suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of golden light in the depths of his eyes. While recalling the appearance of the wood carving, he gently flicked his sleeves, and the mysterious energy swept through and condensed. In a few breaths, a wooden carving phantom was condensed.
film.
This wooden sculpture is exactly the same as the one deep in Zhao Xingyan's memory. Even the silk ribbon and the wooden circle behind its head are the same.
"Is this Arhat?"
Ji Yuenian took the shadow of the wooden carving that trembled from time to time in front of him and murmured: "I just don't know, is this so-called 'Arhat' a living being...or a title?"
