Chapter 368: Breaking the Skull to Get the Pearl and the Memory Silk Book
Gong Mengbi had no choice but to reach out and gently tap the forehead of the head of Xima Mountain to break the dream and wake him up.
The head of Ximashan suddenly opened his eyes, like a drowning man taking a deep breath of air. He wanted to get up from the wooden board, but he felt a pain in his ribs. His whole body was bound and he could not move.
The Xima Mountain Sect Leader finally came to his senses. He looked at Gong Mengbi and the scarlet-robed priest, confused and frightened. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Judge Liu chuckled and said, "This is the Taiyue Sinful Soul Division. We are the priests of the Yue Mansion. Boy, you've committed a crime!"
The head of Xima Mountain was sweating profusely: "Grandmaster! Grandmaster! You must be really teasing me, right? Grandmaster! I am still useful, don't send me to the underworld!"
Judge Liu wiped the shiny hand axe and said, "Don't shout. You're a sinful soul, and even if you scream, it's useless."
"Come, look at me."
The head of Xima Mountain kept struggling, but there were soul-locking buckles on his limbs and soul-locking chains between his ribs, so he couldn't move at all.
He shook his head and trembled, his voice extremely shrill: "No! No!"
Judge Liu sneered, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty. Come, hold his head down for me."
The two little ghosts rushed forward from the left and right, one of them grabbed one of his ears and stretched it out, and then nailed two soul-calming nails into the ears of the Ximashan leader, fixing his head.
The head of Ximashan screamed in pain, feeling his head pressed tightly against a wooden board, unable to move at all.
Judge Liu shouted, "Look at me!"
The head of Ximashan had to open his frightened eyes and look at Judge Liu, staring into his eyes.
Snap!
Judge Liu swung his axe at the Ximashan leader's face with lightning speed, splitting his head in two parts, right in the middle.
Gong Mengbi was startled, his heart pounding like a drum. He looked at Judge Liu. But Judge Liu frowned and said, "It's off by a hair. What a bummer!"
At this time, the head of Ximashan realized what had happened. His face split to the sides, and a heart-wrenching scream came from the cut in the middle.
Judge Liu shouted, "Shut up!"
The next moment, the four lips on the head that was split into two halves closed, and in an instant, the screams subsided, leaving only the thin breathing sounds, indicating that the head of Ximashan was not dead yet.
Gong Mengbi's heartbeat also slowly calmed down, because he finally saw through Judge Liu's craftsmanship.
Even after Judge Liu swung his axe, the leader of Xima Mountain was still able to let out such a scream, which shows that there is no problem.
Judge Liu pointed at the Ximashan Sect Leader's bisected head and said, "Mingfu, take a quick look. What do you think?"
Gong Mengbi looked in the direction of his hand and saw that inside the broken head of the Xima Mountain leader was not blood plasma or brain marrow, but a chaotic cloud of gas.
Judge Liu said, "I don't have your ability to see the signs in his eyes, but that's okay. I can find them after I open his skull."
"Looking at it this way, isn't it much more obvious?" Judge Liu showed a smug look.
Gong Mengbi was truly amazed and asked, "Where is that strange omen?"
Judge Liu put away his hand axe and put on a pair of thin gloves made of silk. He said, "I'll look for it."
Seeing Gong Mengbi looking at his gloves, he said, "The silk is impervious to foreign auras and won't pollute his Yin spirit or confuse his memory. I will help you extract his memory later, so you won't have to bother interrogating him."
Gong Mengbi said, "Please, Grand Judge, show us your skill."
Judge Liu hummed a little tune and reached into the head of the leader of Xima Mountain, searching in the chaotic clouds.
Gong Mengbi saw the expression of the Ximashan Sect Leader out of the corner of his eye. It was no longer one of pain, but of numbness and loss of consciousness. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he showed no resistance or struggle. He looked more like a clay sculpture than a clay statue.
Judge Liu's movements were skillful. Even if it wasn't a ball of chaotic gas but real brain marrow, it would probably be able to fly around in his hands at will.
"Huh?" Judge Liu showed a puzzled look. He groped in the chaotic cloud and seemed to have sensed a strange omen.
Gong Mengbi quickly leaned over to take a look, and saw Judge Liu parting the clouds to reveal a round object like a pearl, which was shining brightly in the head of the leader of Xima Mountain.
The pearl-like thing floated in the clouds, as if trying to grasp the chaotic clouds, but it just floated in the clouds.
Judge Liu said, "This thing has taken root in his Yin Spirit. If it weren't for my axe, I'm afraid it would have been alarmed and mutated."
Now that the head of Xima Mountain's leader had turned into a cloud, this thing naturally couldn't do anything strange. Judge Liu carefully took it out of the cloud and sealed it in a jade box.
After finding this thing, Judge Liu's movements became rough, and he tore at the Ximashan Sect Leader's brain at random, and finally pulled out a silk book as light as cloud and smoke.
Judge Liu put the silk book away, took off his gloves, put the two halves of the Ximashan Sect Leader's head together, and randomly took out three soul-calming nails to pierce through the sides and fix his head.
The leader of Xima Mountain shed two lines of tears, but was suppressed by the soul-suppressing nail and could not speak or move.
Judge Liu handed the silk scroll to Gong Mengbi and said, "This is a copy of his memories. I'll put it back after you've read it."
The small silk book, as light as smoke, carries the life memories of the head of Xima Mountain.
If he looked with his eyes, he would naturally have no idea how long it would take to finish reading. Gong Mengbi probed into his spiritual spirit, and the pictures before his eyes whistled like illusions. He easily flipped through the memories of the head of Xima Mountain, exploring everything he wanted to know.
However, flipping through the book is just flipping through it after all. The essence of this silk book is a part of the Yin Spirit of the leader of Xima Mountain. It cannot be fully peeped into or felt, otherwise there will be a risk of polluting one's own spirit.
Judge Liu said, "Just wait and see. I'll go and ask what this thing is."
Judge Liu walked out of the Soul Department first, holding the jade box containing pearls.
Gong Mengbi stayed where he was and began to search for memories related to King Wu.
When Gong Mengbi finished reading the silk book, Judge Liu also came back holding the jade box.
Gong Mengbi handed the silk scroll to Judge Liu and asked, "Has the Grand Judge found out?"
Judge Liu's face was extremely solemn. He opened the jade box, and the pearl-like object had cracked. A tiny object was lying motionless in the crack of the pearl. Gong Mengbi could see clearly that it was a tiny spider.
"Spider eggs!" Gong Mengbi said.
Judge Liu nodded and said, "These are spider eggs transformed by secret techniques. They will lurk within the victim's spirit and spirit, subtly influencing them and twisting their minds unconsciously. Once stimulated, they will hatch and devour the host."
"This thing is called the Bewildering Spider. It is both a Taoist technique and a living creature. It has been lost for a long time."
