Chapter 119 Soul-binding Lantern Hotspot Signal
Ning Mingmei pretended to refuse: "Brother, I think as the sword-wielding elder of the Qingji Sect, I am entering the forbidden area..."
Sect Leader Qi: “Hmm?”
Ning Mingmei: "Very suitable."
There were still nine and a half years before Qi Miancheng lost his life. Take this opportunity to remember the password of Qi Miancheng's safe.
The forbidden area is located in the extreme west of Qingji Sect, with an insurmountable mountain behind it and a mountain and a paradise in front of it. As soon as Ning Mingmei arrived here, he felt a chill.
In fact, it is not necessary to have everyone present. Every ten years, the sword-wielding elder must enter the sword tomb deep in the forbidden area to reinforce the seal of the magic sword. The last time the seal of the divine sword was reinforced was seven years ago.
In other words, Yuan Ning was clearly practicing in seclusion, but he had to run out in the middle of the process to reinforce the seal before going back. It's like a worker who has taken sick leave but is called back to the company to fix the server.
How embarrassing!
However, the Sword-wielding Elder cannot go alone to reinforce the seal. According to the regulations, the head of the sect and the elder who enforces discipline must be present, and the rest of the elders can come at will.
Considering the sword bone in Ning Mingmei's body, this rule is not unreasonable.
The next reinforcement will be in three years. So far, Ning Mingmai has not done anything in the forbidden area.
Qi Miancheng used a complicated spell to open the black iron gate. White cold air gushed out from the forbidden area. He took a step back and said, "Brother, please."
Ning Mingmei said: "Brother, it's really cold in this forbidden area!"
Qi Miancheng smiled: "Yes, Junior Brother. That's why I occasionally come here to escape the heat in summer."
...Qimiancheng is this weird thing.
The door closed behind them.
Not far away, on the treetop, a little bird stared at the gate, its green eyes unblinking.
…
The Qingji Sect is inherently cold. There is no sunlight in the forbidden area all year round, and the stone palace in the mountains is like a cellar of ice and snow. Ning Mingmei's breath turned into frost, and every step he took was on fine and dense ice chips.
The coldness in the forbidden land was very strange. It didn't feel like a physical attack, but more like a spell attack. With every step Qi Miancheng took, the eternal lamps made of mermaid ointment on both sides would light up.
There is a door inside the forbidden area. Behind the first door there are nothing but treasures, behind the second to third doors there are some forbidden spells, plants, ferocious beasts or magical instruments, and only after the fourth door there are some sealed items.
Qi Miancheng saw Ning Mingmei staring at the rows of black boxes, and kindly reminded him: "Junior brother, there are some evil instruments in here, don't touch them. For example, the soul-calling banner made from forty-nine wronged souls who died tragically."
Ning Mingmei retracted his finger: "If I touch it, will I be leaned over?"
Qi Miancheng reached out and touched it: "No, it will scream."
“Ahhhhh—”
“Ahhhhh—”
A deafening scream echoed throughout the chamber.
Ning Mingmei looked at Qi Miancheng: ...
Qi Miancheng: "Haha, look, Junior Brother, he really screamed."
After the two entered the fifth door. Once the stone door was closed, the screams from the door in front were also isolated. Qi Miancheng said: "Junior brother, you see, the sound insulation effect of the forbidden area is very good."
Ning Mingmei: "Thank you, Brother."
The things behind the fifth door are obviously one level higher than the previous ones. Qi Miancheng pushed open the sixth door and said, "My things are in here."
Ning Mingmei used words to pierce him - for some reason, Qi Miancheng often made him feel uncomfortable if he didn't pierce him: "Brother, as the head of the sect, you put your own things in the forbidden area. Isn't it not good to use public tools for personal purposes?"
"How could that be? Only by doing this can I show that I regard the sect as one and serve the public without distinguishing between you and me." Qi Miancheng said with a smile.
Ning Mingmei felt that Qi Miancheng was really first-rate when it came to speaking in official language. He saw another stone door in front and asked Qi Miancheng: "Brother, why don't you put the things behind the seventh door? It's safer there."
"Behind the seventh door is a sealed divine sword." Qi Miancheng said, "The divine sword is of the element of fire and is immersed in the cold pond."
So that's why this damn place is so cold.
"Besides." Qi Miancheng looked at him, "That is the last door of the forbidden area."
Qi Miancheng's magic weapon was placed in the right ear chamber, which was a complete misuse of public property and was piled up in a mess. The white-robed leader walked over and said, "Let me find something that would be more suitable... Hmm."
After all this time, Qi Miancheng still hasn't decided which magic weapon to give as a gift.
Ning Mingmei is more patient with free gifts. But suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
It was a very strange feeling.
He walked slowly towards the right ear chamber behind the sixth door. The right ear chamber is large but extremely empty, with only a stone platform placed in the middle.
A set of clothes was spread out on the stone platform.
There is a lamp on the dress.
The lights are shining, as if to illuminate someone's way home. Ning Mingmei moved closer to the stone platform and saw the dress clearly.
It was an orange fairy dress embroidered with crabapple patterns, like something a lively and lovely girl would wear.
Ning Mingmei was surprised for a moment.
It is exactly the same as the fairy dress worn by the statue of the girl in Wangyue Town!
The statue of the young girl holds a lotus lantern, wears a fairy dress with crabapple flower pattern, and has a friendly smile. Now this skirt is placed in the secret room of Qingji Sect.
And was pressed under a lamp.
And Ning Mingmei also knew the girl's name.
The owner of the Spark Island, a high school genius time traveler who is regarded as a witch by the immortal cultivation world and is reviled by everyone.
Weng Xingyun.
"Brother, do you want this lamp?"
Qi Miancheng's smiling words appeared behind Ning Mingmei's ears.
He appeared silently, like a snake in the dark approaching its prey.
"Brother, you are joking. What is this lamp for?"
Someone was touching his earlobe, but Ning Mingmei remained unmoved.
"So Junior Brother doesn't know what this lamp is for." Qi Miancheng said, "This lamp is called the Soul Binding Lamp. There are only two of them in the world. It is an ancient artifact."
"Soul Binding..."
"After death, the soul returns to the heaven and earth and dissolves into the underworld. In the underworld, new souls are formed from this solvent and enter reincarnation again. But the newly formed soul is no longer the previous soul. This is a person who died a good death. Some people do not have a good end, and their souls are scattered after death, and they do not enter reincarnation." Qi Miancheng said, "The Soul-Binding Lamp is the only thing that can be used to retrieve the souls of people who died unjustly."
Ning Mingmei said: "Brother, I am very interested in this topic. What is the mechanism of the Soul Binding Lamp and how to operate it."
“…”
Qi Miancheng was silent for a moment, and then he continued, "A person has three souls and seven spirits. After death, the seven spirits dissipate first, followed by the three souls. Therefore, it is most important to form the three souls first."
Ning Mingmei: "Brother, what are these three souls and what are their differences?"
"The three souls refer to the heavenly soul, earthly soul, and life soul. People have life souls when they are born. The heavenly soul is responsible for thinking, and the earthly soul is responsible for spirit. People without heavenly souls are mentally retarded. People without earthly souls are prone to trance and evil. Only after the three souls are formed can the seven spirits be retrieved." Qi Miancheng explained patiently, "The Soul Binding Lamp needs a Soul Binding Guide to form a soul. The deeper the bond between the Soul Binding Guide and the person in his previous life, the better the effect of the soul binding. For example, if the Soul Binding Lamp is used to bind the soul of a sword cultivator, then the Soul Binding Guide it uses is often her natal sword."
"If you don't have your natal sword, you can use something else. But it must be something that the person has used before and has a very deep meaning to her." Qi Miancheng said, "For example, the soul-binding attraction here is this old dress."
"I guess this dress must have a special meaning to the owner of the soul. Maybe it is the clothes she often wears, or maybe she experienced unforgettable things while wearing this dress, or maybe the time she wore this dress was the only happy time in her life." Qi Miancheng said.
The soul-binding lantern just flickered. Ning Mingmei asked: "Brother, do you have any more details? How can we ensure that the soul we bring back is the original one? What if two people both have very strong memories of this dress?"
Qi Miancheng paused for a moment and said, "This has to do with the spellcaster who uses the Soul Binding Lamp... when casting the spell. If the birth date of the soul-binding target can be incorporated into the spell, the spell will have a single target."
Ning Mingmei said, "I see. Senior Brother, how does the Soul-Binding Lamp communicate with the three souls and seven spirits floating in the world? How do they respond to each other and how do they recognize each other's codes? Or, when the Soul-Binding Lamp's signal reaches a certain place, but there are countless three souls and seven spirits here, how does the Soul-Binding Lamp search for it? If the search requires sorting, how does it achieve it?"
Qi Miancheng paused for a moment and said, "This...the effect of the divine weapon is vast and boundless."
This means that the computing power is infinite, which cannot be compared with a small and broken server like Xjiang's server.
Ning Mingmei said: "Brother, it seems that you are not very good at this question. In this case, I will ask you something else."
Qi Miancheng: ...
Ning Mingmei: "Brother, what is the soul-binding lamp's soul-generating efficiency? What is its impurity rate? If you want to form a soul that is exactly the same as the original one, what is the tolerable range of soul impurity rate? What is the correlation coefficient between the impurity rate and the personality change of the person formed?"
Qi Miancheng: ...
Qi Miancheng was completely silent. After a long while, he said, "It looks like this Soul Binding Lamp is currently... empty."
is empty.
In other words, no soul is formed here.
Ning Mingmei: "Is it because the Soul Binding Lamp is in the forbidden area and is cut off from the outside world?"
Qi Miancheng: "Junior brother, I don't think it's because of this reason."
Among countless questions, Ning Mingmei finally pretended to ask the question he wanted to know: "Brother, whose soul is bound in this soul-binding lantern?"
"Brother, I don't know."
Finally, I came across a question that I can answer. Qi Miancheng gave his true answer.
Ning Mingmei acted surprised: "Brother, you are the head of Qingji Sect. There is a soul forming in the forbidden area right under your nose, but you don't know whose soul it is?"
This is getting weirder and weirder.
How come Weng Xingyun’s dress and her soul-binding lantern were found in the forbidden area of Qingji Sect? Why is there nothing inside the Soul-Binding Lantern? Isn’t Spark Island a place of demons where anyone can kill them? Hundreds of years ago, wasn't the Qingji Sect one of the famous and upright sects that assisted in the destruction of Xinghuo Island?
Qi Miancheng said: "This lamp was not placed here by me."
"Who is that?"
Qi Miancheng gave an unexpected answer.
"This lamp has been here for a long time. The person who placed it here was our master, the previous head of the Qingji Sect."
"The True Man of Wuwei."
