"An accident caused a precious treasure, the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State', to break into pieces. After Tang Sanzang died for some reason, he fell into reincarnation and was reborn. His disciples also reincarnated and left one after another with the fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State. Without these five people who were destined to obtain the scriptures, the situation of fighting against the demonic disaster became more grim, and eventually evolved into the current situation." Li Jing said.
Shen Luo thought for a long time after hearing this and asked:
"You should still remember exactly when, where, and how the demonic disaster broke out, right?"
"I don't remember the details of the outbreak of the demonic disaster, the fall of the Heavenly Palace, and the deaths of the immortals and Buddhas. I can't even remember who killed me." Li Jing shook his head and said.
"If that's the case, senior, you didn't remember any of the important things?" Shen Luo was speechless.
"No, I always remember the most important thing." Li Jing retorted immediately.
"What's the matter?" Shen Luo's expression changed slightly and he asked hurriedly.
"The reason why the Lingshan plan failed was because the sealed Chi You had secretly separated five residual souls from the seal before the demonic disaster broke out. They were reincarnated at the same time and became the fuse for the outbreak of the demonic disaster in the future." Li Jing said with a frown.
"When did these five residual souls reincarnate?" Shen Luo pondered for a long time and asked.
This question is of vital importance. If the time of reincarnation of these five residual souls is before the time when he is in this world, then after he returns, he only needs to inform the Tang government of this matter in advance and ask them to contact the Heavenly Court to jointly strengthen the seal to prevent the residual souls from reincarnating, so as to stop the devil's disaster from coming.
"The Heavenly Court still doesn't know how his residual soul was separated and how it escaped from the sealed place. The specific time of escape cannot be determined. However, according to subsequent analysis, it is very likely to be the same time as the reincarnation of the five people who were destined to obtain the scriptures." The answer given by Li Jing immediately made Shen Luo's heart sink.
In the real time where he lives, nearly a hundred years have passed since Tang Sanzang and others were reincarnated, which means that Chi You's five souls have also been reincarnated long ago.
"Senior, do you know who those five residual souls were reincarnated into?" Shen Luo asked immediately.
He knew in his heart that if he could find out their identities and kill them in advance, he would be able to prevent the disaster from coming.
Hearing this, Li Jing's brows began to frown deeply, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "I can only remember two clues, which are about two of them. One seems to have been reincarnated in Chang'an City, and the other... seems to have been reincarnated in the Western Regions."
"What are their names and who are they?" Shen Luo was delighted and asked immediately.
"I only vaguely remember that the person in Chang'an City... was a woman with a plum blossom mark on her wrist, and the person in the Western Regions seemed to be a monk." Li Jing said.
"Is that all? You don't even know their names?" Shen Luo asked.
"I said that my residual soul has incomplete memories and it is impossible for it to remember all the details. Moreover, the five reincarnated residual souls had no memory of Chi You before awakening. They themselves did not know who they were. Only when they awaken will they see their true selves and then complete their mission. Therefore, no one will notice them before they do something unusual, so not much news about them has been circulated." Li Jing said.
