Chapter 49 Auspicious
"Welcome a long sword and hold an iron bow... The head is separated and the heart is not punished... Sincerely, it is brave and powerful, and it is not strong enough to be strong... The soul is returned..."
The solemn and tragic songs were spreading from the simple platform built by the priest of Cang Lao Yun Qin in all directions in the night sky of the Great Wilderness. The white priest's short staff in his hand swung away with the ancient tune again and again, circling the humid air, shining with white light, pointing to the west again and again.
Under the high platform, Yun Qin soldiers holding swords were splashing wine.
That night, under the vast black night sky of the Great Wilderness, many such Yun Qin Requiem Priests were doing the same thing.
For the Great Wilderness, the West pointed to by the short white staff is the territory of Yunqin, and the homeland of all the soldiers who died in this Great Wilderness.
Yun Qin believed in ghosts and gods, and believed that the souls of soldiers who died in battle would stay in this place of black water forever and become lonely ghosts if they did not receive guidance for returning home within seven days.
Therefore, although the war has not ended, these Yunqin priests are singing and dancing, allowing the dead to rest in peace and giving the living strength.
There was heavy rain pouring in the distance, and wet wind blew by, like countless souls who died in battle walking in the clouds.
The thick lead clouds unique to the Great Wilderness scattered slightly.
Suddenly, the old priest Chang Yunqin paused on the high platform and let out a hoarse scream: "It's a bad star... it's not auspicious..."
The white short staff that he had been waving vigorously in his hand suddenly stopped in the air.
All the Yun Qin soldiers below looked up, and then they also saw a star in the gap between the dark clouds, which was particularly eye-catching and amazing. It was a red star.
...
"It's the first time I've eaten so much food, it's easy to get rid of it... I'd better not eat it anymore."
Lin Xi looked at the remaining two pieces of tuber in his hand and was a little hesitant, and did not put them in front of the black beast's head.
Before this, it had eaten the juice of several wild sugar cane plants and ate a rhizome that was the size of a fist.
The black little beast let go of a claw that was tightly clenching Lin Xi's clothes and touched its stomach, understanding Lin Xi's meaning... but at the same time it didn't understand, looking at Lin Xi with confusion. It was obvious that its stomach was still very hungry, so why didn't it give it to itself?
Its claws fell on its soft belly, and suddenly, a sound of gusting in its belly.
This is not the sound of eating the stomach, but the sound of the stomach still empty.
Lin Xi understood its thoughts and heard the sound again, and he couldn't help laughing, "So you are also a foodie."
...
Heavy rain is coming.
The heavy rain fell in some places in the Great Wilderness last night, but tonight it happened to be on the way Lin Xi and Chi Xiaoye were walking forward.
The heavy rain will make people's body colder, the roads will be muddy, and it will consume more physical strength, but it can also cover up many traces, wash away a lot of breath, and wash away a lot of mud on their bodies.
The mud on Lin Xi's body was slowly washed away by the heavy rain, just like a hard shell that was stuck on his body was peeled off. In addition, he had already broken through to the Great Soul Master, he felt that he could not express his comfort and pleasure. Even every drop of raindrops hitting him was gentler and slower than usual in his perception.
The stronger the perception and the faster the reaction, the faster the things that were originally moving quickly will appear slower in the eyes and mind, and the clearer they can see and control what ordinary people cannot see.
For example, the vitality between heaven and earth, such as flying swords.
In their eyes, the holy master who can control the flying sword, how slowly will the things they concentrate on between the flying sword and the heaven and earth be? What a beautiful scene of some fleeting things between the heaven and earth?
Lin Xi was very curious and fascinated.
Then he saw Chi Xiaoye and the bad black beast were also washed away by the rain, and could swallow herbs by themselves. After eating some things, Chi Xiaoye's condition was obviously much better than before. Although his face was still pale as porcelain, his elf-like green hair had already shined. The black beast in his arms washed away the blood and mud-water bonds from birth, shaking slightly, and the soft and oily black hair was a little fluffy. One claw touched its own belly, and the other three claws were still holding his clothes.
Looking at its funny and silly appearance and its black and shining eyes, Lin Xi couldn't help laughing again: "The night gave me black eyes, and I was destined to use it to find light... I should always have a name, what should I call you?"
"The night gave me black eyes, and I was destined to use it to find light... The meaning of this sentence is so deep." Chi Xiaoye was a little awe-inspiring.
"Everyone says you have brought disasters and inauspiciousness, but I don't believe it. Why don't you just call you good luck?" Lin Xi smiled, touched the soft head of the black beast and said.
"Jixiang?" Chi Xiaoye nodded seriously, looked at Lin Xi who was smiling and the three-tailed beast that was enjoying, and said softly: "This name is very good."
Lin Xi took out the transparent bathing ball-like thing he got from the saint of Purgatory Mountain and shook it open before the heavy rain had stopped.
Hundreds of transparent silk threads that cannot be seen clearly by the naked eye floated in the rain and drifted in all directions.
Lin Xi spoke out: "Auspicious."
"Auspicious...auspicious...auspicious..."
The sound rang from all directions, and the ears of the three-tailed beast stood up and looked at it in surprise.
"From now on, I am Lin Xi, you are Jixiang, and we are a family."
Lin Xi rubbed the belly of the three-tailed beast, and the three-tailed beast immediately made a tickling sound.
Its "Yi~~~Yi~~" sound also spread to all directions.
It looked at the transparent small thorn-shaped handle in Lin Xi's hand in surprise and curious, but seemed to understand it a little, happily patting Lin Xi's chest with his claws.
Lin Xi didn't have much soul power left in his body at this moment, but at this moment he had an inexplicable sense, feeling that his soul power seemed to be able to penetrate into the thing in his hand.
"Is this thing really a soul soldier from Purgatory Mountain?"
Lin Xi was a little unimaginable how so many transparent silk threads that were smaller than hair were refined in this world. He began his first attempt to expose his soul power from his body and pour it into something else.
Under his mobilization of his mind, the only soul power left in his dantian gushed out quickly, and turned into a warm current that was much faster than usual in his body. With a light sound, Lin Xi saw the light yellow light flowing out from his fingertips and penetrated into the texture on the transparent handle on his hand.
He looked at his slightly transparent fingers, dyed with light like topaz, and looked at the wonderful scene that the world before him that was definitely impossible to see, and instantly became awe-inspiring in his heart.
His soul power and thinking flowed out in all directions along the countless transparent threads.
"Is this really a soul soldier?" Chi Xiaoye asked, looking at Lin Xi, whose face became more solemn.
Lin Xi nodded: "Yes...I think I know the secret of why he can control the flying sword so far."
He did not explain to Chi Xiaoye what the secret was, but Chi Xiaoye seemed to have understood it himself, and was a little shocked: "There are such soul soldiers in the world."
Lin Xi took a deep breath and took back the transparent silk thread flying in all directions.
In this world, there was no soul soldier who could spread out the soul power and consciousness of the practitioner intact, just like his body and perception extending, but now he has it.
Originally, a person's soul power could only control the flying sword to a hundred steps away from him, but if his body was invisibly expanded to a size of hundreds of steps, then the flying sword could naturally fly further.
This saint of Purgatory Mountain brought out not an epoch-making soul soldier, but two.
...
The heavy rain fell all night, which was extremely beneficial to cover up all traces of Lin Xi and Chi Xiaoye's escape.
For the Yunqin army, not being able to surround Chi Xiaoye before the heavy rain that began last night came, which represents failure.
"Jixiang, who said you are unlucky? If it weren't for your good luck, it rained all night, who would know if we would be caught up by Di Choufei and the others?"
At dawn, Lin Xi looked at the three-tailed beast that was sleeping heavily in his arms and whispered to himself.
They are not far from Dacize, but there is only a low-lying valley that can be crossed in just over an hour.
This low-lying valley was originally covered with clusters of reeds, and it was not special. However, when Lin Xi and Chi Xiaoye walked into this valley, they were both stunned.
In the black soil on the ground, there are many dazzling things reflecting.
"Has there been a big war here?"
Lin Xi saw that the things that emitted reflection were all cold metals, and some of them obviously had runes unique to the soul soldiers.
"how so?"
Chi Xiaoye couldn't believe the scene in front of her, but as she and Lin Xi approached these cold metals, she and Lin Xi both reacted.
This is an ancient battlefield that has been buried for a long time.
Most of these cold metals are broken weapons and armor, which look like Yun Qin's style, but they look simple and heavy, which is very different from the current Yun Qin military's standard weapons. Most of them have been buried underground for a long time, and the dark traces of soil stains are obvious. It is obvious that the war that took place here has been very long and no one knows it at all. It is just because of the heavy rainstorm yesterday and the erosion of the water flow, these things buried underground appear.
Yun Qin's weapons and armor are at least made of 100 steel. Many of the exposed metals are actually without any rust at all.
Lin Xi put Chi Xiaoye down, walked to a piece of yellow metal that was exposed not far away in front of him, then squatted down and pulled it out of the mud.
