In Yongchuan, the king's city of the demon world, the moon finally revealed its face from the clouds. The silver moonlight seemed to be alive, flowing quietly throughout the Chenji Palace. The breeze blows, the plum blossoms spin and fall, the snow lotus trembles slightly, and there are bursts of fragrance.
Ouyang Xiaoleng took a deep breath. The pure white clothes sewn with silver thread were spotless and had a luster similar to the moon. He turned around and looked at Xia Qiu, who was lying on the bed not far behind him. After taking Xia Qiu back from Songshan Temple, he specially arranged for her to rest in his room behind Yuheng Hall, because this room was more beautiful than the others. In order to be more comfortable, he stayed up all night guarding her side.
It looked like she was sleeping so peacefully, rather than looking like she was always unwilling to admit defeat when she was awake. As a human being, she has extraordinary willpower and spirit of sacrifice, but she also bears more pain and responsibility than others. As a descendant of the Demon King Fox and the Lord of the Demon Realm, he might feel pity for weak things, but it was her stubbornness that really made him feel distressed.
Dong Muya and Min Endong are still working hard to find a way to summon Xia Qiu's soul back from the state of soul separation, while Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye are also making various efforts. Now Ouyang Xiaoleng, like Qianqi and Lingyu, is powerless except to wait.
She was there, and if he got closer to her, he could even hear her breathing, but he couldn't hear her voice. He didn't know if she had successfully entered the state of soul separation. Before the war between his father Ouyang Xueye and the extraordinary Taoist controlled by Heihe in the infinite heaven began, he completed another relationship with Xia Qiu with the help of Min Endong. After the channeling, subsequent attempts were never successful. Originally, relying on channeling, he felt that he could finally get close to where she was, but now she was far away from him, hard to reach, like the stars.
Ouyang Yong told them that because Xia Qiu's body and mind were contaminated by the Source Sin Blood Pool, in addition to the help of elixirs, it would also take an extremely long time to completely remove this dark power from the depths of her body and soul, and this This kind of damage may also accompany her throughout her life.
From the beginning of Ouyang Xiaoleng and others' journey to the three temples, Ouyang Yong has been doing his best to collect methods on how to restore the soul. If there are still signs of life in the body, then it is not difficult to return to the soul. However, Xia Qiu's situation is extremely special. When she was near death, Qingyun forcibly used the source of sin blood pool and dark spells in the Earth Temple to create a connection between the soul and the body. The trees set up an invisible wall. Once this wall was set up, it was difficult to restore. What's more, Qingyun reinforced it with two blood pools for the sake of safety.
Ordinary soul-returning methods couldn't deal with such a powerful dark force. He read countless books, including the oldest secret techniques. However, given Xia Qiu's situation, unless he had the help of the god Gansu, it would be difficult to return to heaven.
He couldn't bear to tell Ouyang Xiaoleng, Qianqi and Lingyu this conclusion. From the expectant eyes of these young men when they saw him every day, it was not difficult to see what Xia Qiu meant to them, and in She also holds a pivotal position in his heart. In desperation, he could only continue to bury himself in the sea of books and wait for a miracle to appear.
The situation at Dong Muya and Min Endong's side is not much better than Ouyang Yong's, but the more difficult the problem that needs to be solved, the more excited Min Endong will become. Taking advantage of his uncle's overseas inspection trip, he simply moved to Ouyang's ancient house. During this period, he completely completed the upgrade of the MM computer terminal system. Now he can use an ordinary computer, or even a mobile phone or tablet to remotely control the entire system. He only needs to occasionally go to the old house on Willow Street to check the MM super terminal itself. Just perform system debugging and maintenance.
Near evening, Dong Muya hurriedly walked into Ouyang's ancient house. In one hand, she tried hard to keep the paper bag containing her and Min Endong's dinner, some fruits and drinks, and in the other hand, she carried the express package tied with a plastic rope. box. Hearing the sound of her opening the door, Min Endong walked out of the living room.
"Help me!" She tilted her head and revealed her face from behind the food bag.
"Oh!" Min Entong responded while taking the express box.
"Are you sure there is no risk in sending such an important book by ordinary express delivery? And the delivery address is actually my school, phew!" Dong Muya complained on the way to the kitchen.
"The rate of express delivery loss is probably less than 5 out of 100,000. Although it is not comparable to winning the lottery, it is safe enough! If you don't write your school, why not write here?" Min Endong used both hands to carry the express box into the living room. . He picked up a paper knife from the coffee table, cut the plastic rope and transparent tape on the box, and took out several foreign language books that seemed to be quite old from the box. Then, while briefly browsing the covers and contents of these books, I asked, "By the way, have you bought the mineral water I want?"
"Do you think you can buy the kind of mineral water you want in the supermarket here?" Dong Muya poked her head out of the kitchen and asked him.
"Well, at least give me a bottle of juice. I'm dying of thirst! You are definitely abusing children..." Min Endong originally wanted to have a long talk about child protection laws with Dong Muya, but his eyes were caught by the book in his hand. Attracted by the books, he piled the remaining books on the floor among books that looked similar to them.
"I'm so sorry for you, my 'child', I'll give you juice! What did you find?" Dong Muya shook his head and walked into the living room, placing a glass of grapefruit juice next to him, and then picked up the few bottles that Min Endong had just put down. This book looks.
"Hmm..." Min Endong responded in a long voice, and then paused for a while before continuing, "The god Qiansu built the temple to seal the dark power in the Source Sin Blood Pool, so why didn't he just destroy them? What? Instead, choose to seal it?"
"Because this dark force is so powerful, I'm afraid even he can't destroy it. We have discussed this issue a long time ago!" Dong Muya responded without shaking his head.
"The God Lord lives in the place closest to the Source Sin Blood Pool all year round, but is not contaminated by it. Why?" Min Endong asked again.
"They have the power and protection given by the god Qiansu." Dong Muya became a little impatient and responded.
"The Lord God protects the seal in the temple so that the dark power in the Source Sin Blood Pool reaches a balanced state. They will not spread outwards, but remain very stable in the temple, just like a computer entering a dormant state. They It acts like a blender, or weights on both sides of the scale." Min Endong simply put down the book in his hand and explained while gesturing at the scale.
"What does this have to do with helping Xia Qiu regain her soul?!" Dong Muya became more and more confused by what Min Endong said just now, and asked directly.
"By hurting the God Lord, Qingyun broke the balance that had existed for thousands of years between the seal and the original sin blood pool, allowing the dark power to be used by him. To put it more figuratively speaking, he used magic to turn this dark power into a wall , to block the connection between the soul and the body. Even now, some dark forces still remain in Xia Qiu's body, and it is they that continue to prevent her soul from returning to the body." Min Endong's emphasis was on the balance. On a word.
"Master Yong also said that Xia Qiu experienced the pollution of the dark power in the three source sin blood pools. If it were any other person, it would have been fatal, but she is still alive, or her body is still alive. It is very incredible. I think I roughly understand that there is a certain force in her body that can resist this dark force and form a balance similar to the seal and the source of sin blood pool." Dong Muya gradually became enlightened.
"Yes, that's exactly what I want to say! If you want to destroy this wall, you have to break the balance between the two forces in her body, then..." Min Endong deliberately did not say the conclusion, but let Dong Muya do it by himself. experience.
"Then...she is still in fear of her life?!" Dong Muya covered her mouth as she finally realized what Min Entong wanted to express.
"I'm afraid that's the case. Resurrection itself is an adventure, but if she doesn't challenge it, she will still have to face death when the time limit for separation of body and soul comes."
Behind the black frame, Min Endong's expression is terrifyingly calm. Even when it comes to topics of life and death, he still shows a maturity far beyond his actual age.
"Don't you feel sad? You and Xia Qiu have known each other for a while." Dong Muya asked in confusion.
"Can grief solve the problem at hand? No! It just wastes time, and we are racing against time now, aren't we? Even if we come up with one more way, her hope of survival will increase. Points. When all the attempts we can think of fail, it's not too late to be sad. I don't want to do anything that will make me regret." Min Endong pushed up his glasses and answered very seriously.
Dong Muya always finds shining points in this child prodigy. When faced with difficult problems, he seems to be wiser than adults. She also cheered herself up again and said: "I understand! This is a plan to break the balance between the two forces as little as possible!"
"I think so too. First of all, we must think about what is the force that is powerful enough to break the balance between the two? Then look for the safest one among these forces!"
"The power of the god Gansu... There is no doubt that in all the records, only this kind of power can do it."
Min Endong shook his head and retorted: "Not necessarily! The blood pact, as the name suggests, relies on the blending of blood. It proves that blood is a key to unlocking the god Qiansu gave them, and the awakening of the power of gods and demons in Ouyang Xiaoleng's body is also It's because of the blood of the contractor Xia Qiu... I'm very curious, what kind of reaction will there be if their blood blends again?"
Dong Muya was attracted by Min Endong's interesting idea and asked: "It sounds like we are going to combine soul recovery with the blood pact signing ceremony?"
"This is my bold assumption. I don't know if they will agree. There are too many soul-returning techniques that can be used." Min Endong patted the book in his hand and said. It was a Latin book. He only needed to copy the book in it. Scan the text into your computer and you can easily translate the meaning in the book.
"Hongye and the others must have various methods, but... I don't know what decision Xiao Leng will make."
Thinking of the choices Ouyang Xiaoleng had to face, Dong Muya was inevitably worried.
"He will definitely accept my suggestion, because he must believe more than I do that his contractor will not be defeated by the dark power of the Origin Blood Pool." Min Endong responded confidently.
