Origin

"Nascent Soul?" Wu Zhongyuan said to himself and turned to look at Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much about Yuanying either.

The old blind man was blind and knew the doubts in the two people's minds, so he took the initiative to explain, "If animals live for a long time, their bodies will produce inner elixirs. The inner elixirs are formed by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth accumulated over thousands of years." , can strengthen the spiritual consciousness, and can also derive demonic magic. The more advanced the beast's Taoism, the purer the spiritual energy contained in the inner elixir, and the stronger the spiritual consciousness. The inner elixir of most animals is pearly white, and follows the Taoism Gradually, as it becomes more sophisticated, its inner elixir will also change color, just like a person who practices Qi will advance through the nine colors. However, Deep Purple Taixuan is not the ultimate in Qi training for beasts. Some beasts have long lifespans and have strange talents, and finally break through Taixuan. , practice the golden elixir."

The old blind man paused briefly here. Wu Zhongyuan did not take the opportunity to ask questions, but patiently waited for him to catch his breath before continuing.

The old blind man added, "Beasts are different from humans. They have no soul, but once the golden elixir is formed, it will have a powerful soul. The soul is derived from the soul. Although it is called the soul, it is not a baby, but the same as the original body. The existence of the soul, the Yuanying is directed by the main body and soul but is not bound by the main body. It can leave the body and travel around the world, and it can also exist forever without the main body."

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't help but interject, "What is the difference between Yuan Ying and the main body?"

The old blind man shook his head, "There is no difference. Although the Nascent Soul is derived from the original soul, it has an entity. It can be derived from the original soul, and the derived soul can be derived from the original soul."

Jiang Nan also frowned and interrupted, "According to what you say, doesn't this beast king live forever and die forever?"

"That's not true," the old blind man shook his head and said, "The Nascent Soul is no different from the main body. It can also be injured by external forces. If the main body and the Nascent Soul can be killed at the same time, it can be killed."

Jiang Nan was very worried, "If the beast king hides the Nascent Soul in a secret place, we will kill its original body, and its Nascent Soul can also transform into the original body. In this way, wouldn't we kill him endlessly?"

"The second noble man is too worried," the old blind man said, "it will not hide the Nascent Soul somewhere."

"Why?" Jiang Nan asked.

"Because we are no match for it. Even if it stands in front of us, we can't kill it." The old blind man smiled, with a slightly helpless smile.

"Sir, how do you know this?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"These are all ancient legends, widely known, but no one takes them seriously. They are only regarded as sensational rumors," said the old blind man.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded,

The old blind man's explanation is acceptable. Everyone in the world is like this. They always like to hear good news and will habitually regard bad news as false news. Just like modern environmental pollution and the greenhouse effect causing the rapid melting of polar glaciers, many people I know, but unless the moment of disaster strikes, no one will face it head on.

Jiang Nan asked, "The main body is derived from the Yuanying, or the Yuanying is derived from the main body, but can it be infinitely derived?"

The old blind man nodded, "No one has really seen Yuanying. If the legend is true, they are immortal existences. But now it seems that the legend should be true, because Yuanying and the body that can derive Yuanying are both Can move instantly."

"Them?" Jiang Nan heard the hidden meaning of the old blind man's words.

"According to legend, all the kings of the six realms can transform into Yuanying," the old blind man said.

Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said, "This is really great news."

Wu Zhongyuan was also astonished as Jiang Nan. When he came to his senses, he asked eagerly, "Can a person who practices Qi transform into a Nascent Soul?"

"Fuxi and Nuwa also have Nascent Soul." The old blind man did not answer directly.

"After them, will anyone be reborn as a Nascent Soul?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It seems not." The old blind man shook his head.

No one spoke for a long time, and finally the silence was broken by the old blind man, "Try to call it out tomorrow. If it can appear in the daytime, it will undoubtedly be the Beast King Nascent Soul."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. It should not be difficult to call the little fox out. What he was worried about now was that he had given the little fox a red pill before. He was not sure what the consequences of this would be. Also, what should be done with the little fox if it is really the Nascent Soul of the Beast King?

Although the second child was a dwarf, his job was that of a Sha Monk. Not only did he have to serve the old blind man, he also had to collect firewood and light the fire.

What the old blind man said is true. There is no one in the world who cannot be used. It just depends on how to use it. There are always a minority of white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it. He is very kind to the second child. He will give three qi-boosting pills to the second child. He also knew that they were not ordinary people, so he thought he had climbed a high branch and was willing to follow them.

When the second child took the old blind man to relieve himself far away, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Jiang Nan, "What do you think?"

Jiang Nan did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, but said casually, "Not long ago, those vicious dogs and vultures set up an ambush to kill you. How do you explain this?"

"The leaders of the giant hyenas and giant eagles did not show up that day," Wu Zhongyuan said. "This shows that they can only control their subordinates, but they are still sealed and cannot be free."

Jiang Nan nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "The two of them must have taken this matter on their own initiative. The little fox probably didn't participate and didn't know about it."

"Why?" Jiang Nan asked for the reason.

Wu Zhongyuan waved the branches to drive away mosquitoes, "Its consciousness is not complete, otherwise it would not try to exchange Ganoderma lucidum grass for Qi-tonifying pills."

Jiang Nan looked solemn and did not answer.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Before I met it from Goat Valley, it had been trying to come from Goat Valley for half a year. From this, it can be seen that it was not waiting for me there with premeditation, but its spiritual consciousness was not very complete and its mind was simple. , If you can’t change it, you go there again and again to try your luck.”

Jiang Nan nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Furthermore, if it planned and took charge of this matter, it should have guessed that I had suspected that this was the Beast King's lair. After we appeared, it would not try to exchange pills with me again, and even more You won’t get close to me easily.”

"It makes sense," Jiang Nan nodded again, "What are your plans?"

"I haven't thought about it yet," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "I may not help it, but I will never take the opportunity to harm it because it is simple-minded and doesn't take precautions against me."

At this time, the second child came back with the old blind man in hand. Wu Zhongyuan did not stop there, but casually asked the old blind man for advice, "Sir, if it is really the Beast King Nascent Soul, how should we deal with it?"

"You definitely won't kill it," the old blind man said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Yes."

"If you continue to give pills, you will definitely shorten the time it takes to escape." The old blind man said again.

"I know." Wu Zhongyuan answered.

The old blind man said again, "Its consciousness is vague at this time, and it is friendly to you only because it has not completely escaped from the seal. Only when it completely escapes from the seal will its true nature be revealed. We don't know what its true nature is." .”

"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan responded, and then asked, "But what it experienced at this time will be remembered after it escapes from the trap, right?"

"I should remember." The old blind man said uncertainly.

"I don't recommend giving it any more pills." Jiang Nan made his attitude clear.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, and the old blind man took over from the side, "You made meat with it before, and you made pills with it before. Both of these things were done when you didn't know its identity. It was a timely help. , enough to express kindness. But after tonight, no matter what you do, it will know that you have a purpose, and your sincerity will be greatly reduced."

"Yes, if you don't do anything good to it, it won't appreciate it anymore and will only think that we are guilty and cowardly." Jiang Nan belongs to the hawks.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "I know."

In the evening, the little fox did not appear again. It was not safe to stay in the mountains at night, not to mention that it was not far from the ruined temple, so Wu Zhongyuan, Jiang Nan and the second child took turns keeping watch until dawn.

At sunrise, Wu Zhongyuan came a hundred steps away from the temple again. Jiang Nan knew that the little fox was wary of her, so she did not go with him.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know the little fox's name, so he could only shout loudly.

After shouting a few times, the little fox appeared, walked out of the temple, and sat on the stone steps in front of the temple.

At this time, it had been exposed to the sun, which also confirmed the old blind man's suspicion that it was really the Nascent Soul of the Beast King.

"Come, come here." Wu Zhongyuan waved to the little fox.

The little fox tilted his head and looked at him.

Wu Zhongyuan took out a crimson pill from the bag on his waist, "Here, I'll give you the pill."

The little fox was originally sitting, but slowly stood up after seeing the elixir in his hand.

"Come here quickly." Wu Zhongyuan waved to him again.

The little fox looked around and then disappeared.

Not long after, he appeared next to him, holding two more Ganoderma lucidum grasses in his mouth.

Wu Zhongyuan knelt down and reached out to stroke it. The little fox was a little frightened, but did not run away.

The little fox's red fur felt just like real fur. It was obvious that the little fox didn't want him to pet it. In order to distract it, Wu Zhongyuan said, "I don't want Ganoderma lucidum grass."

The little fox looked at him doubtfully.

Wu Zhongyuan picked it up and pointed at the soul-fixing stone on the lintel of the temple, "I want the white soul-fixing stone."

The little fox didn't hesitate, opened his mouth, took the elixir in his mouth, and disappeared without a trace.

After a while, the little fox ran out of the temple and looked up at the soul-fixing stone on the lintel.

It can be seen that it wants to take off the soul-fixing stone, but the lintel is very high, and the fox is not a cat. It is not allowed to climb the doorpost. After watching, it teleports away and appears on the door lintel, climbing on the protruding relief. , opened his mouth and bit the white soul-fixing stone.

After blinking, the little fox returned to Wu Zhongyun's side with the white soul-fixing stone, put the soul-fixing stone down, and then looked up at him.

When the little fox used teleportation before, he couldn't see the little fox's movement trajectory, but this time he could clearly see the little fox's movement trajectory, which was a left-sliding arc.

After he came to his senses, Wu Zhongyuan knelt down and picked up the soul-fixing stone. The object was very warm, and he felt comfortable holding it in his hand.

Putting away the soul-fixing stone carefully, Wu Zhongyuan took out a light blue elixir from his arms, "This is for you, and then bring me the black one."

The little fox didn't hesitate, opened his mouth, took the elixir in his mouth, and disappeared again.

This time, he couldn't see the little fox's movement track again.

The little fox probably didn't take the elixir he had given him and the little fox, but sent it back somewhere in the palace.

Not long after, the little fox ran out of the hall again and looked up at the lintel.

At this moment, the little fox suddenly lifted its legs off the ground and stopped five feet above the ground out of thin air. It was as if it was picked up by an invisible hand.

The little fox didn't panic, but tilted his head and looked to the left, then to the right.

Just as it was looking left and right, the invisible hand carried it into the main hall, hiding in the darkness, making it difficult to see again.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was on guard and considering whether to stay or go, a strong wind blew up in front of the temple, and the outline of an orc condensed by the hurricane suddenly appeared three feet away in front of him.

The accident happened so suddenly that Wu Zhongyuan subconsciously retreated and dodged, but the orc silhouette did not rush forward. After reaching the edge of a hundred steps, it seemed to have encountered huge invisible resistance, and was quickly bounced back.

Seeing that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan did not delay and quickly returned.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Nan asked with concern.

"It's okay." Wu Zhongyuan handed the white soul-fixing stone to Jiang Nan, "Here you go."

"This thing can protect the physical body..."

Before Jiang Nan could finish speaking, Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and interrupted her, "Let's go, don't stay here, leave here as soon as possible..."
