If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 342: Soul
Why is it Lao Shenxian?
What is the difference between Lao Shenxian and other evil people?

Xiaoyu finished the "Taozu asks for instructions" activity and sat on the futon, lost in thought.

She finally added Lao Shenxian to the "list of the dead" without any expectations at all.

In her mind, Lao Shenxian was certainly a bastard who deserved to be cut into pieces.

Through the surveillance of Changchun Martial Arts School in recent days, Xiaoyu has become more and more aware of Lao Shenxian's evil.

He didn't kill people directly. At least he didn't commit murders every now and then.

His Changchun Martial Arts School also provided false hope to many people who had no money or power but longed to learn martial arts.

But his nature of plundering them has not changed.

There are very few people who died directly from his practice of collecting internal energy.

There are countless people whose lives have changed, their psychology has been distorted, and their personalities have been deformed after his energy collection.

If Lao Shenxian still fails to get the "recognition" of the Three Pure Ones, Xiaoyu will probably recite the names of the "True Yuan Realm bosses" of Changchun Martial Arts School one by one.

She thought at least 80% of them deserved to be killed.

The reason why she didn't put them on the "list of the damned" was because she still had some sympathy for their plight and felt that there were many people in Yingxiang Prefecture and Tianmen Town who deserved to die more than them.

Even so, even though Lao Shenxian deserved to die, Xiaoyu did not initially include him in the list of those who deserved to die.

As I said: There are many people who deserve to die, and there are many people who deserve to be killed more than Lao Shenxian.

For her personally, there is another more important reason for not choosing Lao Shenxian: she only picks the weak.

This was her first time using the Magic Eye Technique on an outsider, and she was unsure of the effect, so she decided to choose someone with weaker strength.

"Could it be that Daozu guessed my idea but disagreed with it and insisted that I fight to the death with others?"

After turning this idea around in her mind for a few times, she finally rejected it.

Even if Daozu really wanted her to fight others for her life, she couldn't win and didn't want to die. Could Daozu still force her?
Daozu must also understand this.

"Or maybe I'm mistaken. In fact, Lao Shenxian's sins are heavier than anyone else's. Is he the most deserving person to die in Yingxiang Mansion?

Because of his behavior, it brought very bad influence to Yingxiang Prefecture, Xishu, and even to the entire human world.

Lao Shenxian is very famous. Everyone knows about his wealth and longevity. Everyone also knows what his Changchun Martial Arts School is like.

All those who know about these things will have a wrong perception - Cai Bu is not a big deal, and it is not a bad act to scale up Cai Bu by opening a martial arts school; looking at the life of Lao Shenxian now, it can be said that it is a blessing and he is accumulating good karma! "

This thought stayed in Xiaoyu's mind longer.

"Master, are you okay?" Xiaoqiang shouted outside.

The dog had been listening quietly outside. When he heard the sound of throwing the divination blocks stopped, he guessed that his owner had stopped.

"I'm fine, come in."

Xiao Qiang went straight through the wooden door and ran to her. He first looked up at the statues of the Three Pure Ones on the table in the corner, then lowered his voice and asked, "It took a while to throw the divination blocks. Daozu didn't agree?"

"What do you think of the thirty targets I selected? Should they be put to death? Are their crimes extremely heinous?" Xiao Yu asked.

Xiao Qiang nodded first, then hesitated and said: "But no matter whether they are guilty or not, or how serious their sins are, it has nothing to do with you.

The only reason you want to kill them now is that you want to plunder their spirits and strengthen your own mind.

It was you who wanted to kill them, not them who provoked you."

This sentence was like a flash of lightning, illuminating Xiaoyu's confused sea of ​​consciousness and dispelling the fog of doubt.

Xiao Yu clapped his hands lightly and shouted, "Yes, they deserve to die, but they shouldn't be killed by me. No, they deserve to die, and I do want to kill them.

But I am in an awkward situation, unable to wield a sword and kill people as I please, just to make my thoughts clear.

Even though I knew before that some people were extremely evil, such as Xiao Dabizi and those beasts who didn't want to return home, I only hated them secretly and never thought of killing them.

They didn't come to me on their own initiative to "die properly".

I took the initiative to establish cause and effect with them in order to cultivate my Dao Heart and refine my demons."

At the end of her speech, the realization on her face was replaced by confusion again, "But I never thought of killing Lao Shenxian!"

She has been in Tianmen Town for almost half a year and has only met the Immortal Lao once. She has not seen that guy again after his birthday.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiang shouted excitedly: "Master, you are crazy. In your current state, how can you possibly kill Lao Shenxian?!"

"Lao Shenxian won the first place three times in a row and is the only 'deserving person' who has obtained the permission of Daozu. But don't worry, I know myself well." Xiaoyu said.

Not to mention Lao Shenxian who turned to practice Buddhist secrets. She couldn't defeat him because his new method of killing had not been deduced.

Even for Lao Shenxian, who had already mastered the "Assassination Method", the risk was too high for her to use the "Magic Eye Method" to engage in a mental battle with him in her current sickly state.

There is obviously no need to take the risk, so why force yourself to face a death crisis?
"Since you didn't plan to take action against Immortal Lao, why did you ask for instructions from the Taoist Ancestor at that time?" Xiao Qiang asked puzzledly.

"I had a brain accident. Well, it's not a brain accident, it's just that there are no other candidates." Xiaoyu sighed.

Xiao Qiang asked: "What should we do now? Can we change people?"

"It is definitely possible to replace someone. I asked Daozu for instructions, not Daozu giving me an order."

Daozu may not agree with the goal she chooses, but he cannot set the goal for her.

"Do you have any idea who to replace?" Xiaoqiang asked again.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I should go for a walk outside the city, disguised as a weak noblewoman who is alone, and wait for the villain to come to me and seek death. Well, if I meet a villain, I can just do divination without making a list, and come back and try it together."

"Is it possible to ask for instructions without facing the statue?" Xiao Qiang asked doubtfully.

Xiao Yu tilted his head to glance at the statue of the Three Pure Ones in the corner, and said thoughtfully: "I feel that Daozu didn't cast his gaze this time.

The Taoist didn't look at me, or even pay attention to me. He only left a spiritual Shinto law to monitor my throwing of the divination blocks.

So there is no need for a statue of the deity, one can also ask for instructions through spirit writing."

"You just feel it." Xiaoqiang said.

Xiao Yu said: "I believe in my feelings, and I also believe that Daozu will not be so lacking in means that he has to use the statue to follow me."

Not to mention the Taoist ancestors, even great immortals and gods can easily create Shinto rules that give birth to spiritual intelligence. Even the door gods can project thousands and millions of projections to guard the countless gates of the human world.

Xiao Qiang thought for a moment and said, “But you are looking for bad guys outside, which is no different from before.

The fundamental purpose is the same, just with a little more trickery to force the cause and effect."

Xiaoyu looked out the window at the sky.

She had been tossing and turning in the house for the whole afternoon, and it was almost sunset. "Your theory of 'direct cause and effect of life and death' is just a guess. I don't think there is a direct cause and effect of life and death between Lao Shenxian and me.

Moreover, this outing is very different from the previous ones, and even I will be very different as a person.

If I were like that, I would most likely attract evil spirits to attack me."

Xiao Qiang asked in confusion: "You are you, how can you be different?"

"It's a little early now, let's talk about it after three o'clock in the morning."

Xiao Yu closed his eyes and silently circulated the Pure Yang Sword Energy, and all kinds of sword intent entered deep into his bones.

No one taught her the secret of reforging the sword bone.

She simply nurtured the sword bone based on her own feelings and experience, just like using her inner strength and sword intent to nurture a precious sword.

The sword was originally made of ordinary iron, but because it had been drinking the blood of its enemies for many years, and had been irrigated by the swordsman's inner breath and spiritual will (martial arts sword intention), it naturally became spiritual.

After the spirituality is enriched, a spiritual fetus is born, which hatches into the soul of the sword. The iron sword also completes its "demonization", turning from ordinary iron into a living "person".

Without the Qiao Shi Sword, Xiao Yu could only blindly infuse sword energy containing sword intent into the bones that had lost their spirituality. The bones felt itchy and unbearable, and the pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow. It was effective, but not obvious.

After obtaining the Qiao Shi sword, Xiao Yu not only carried the sword with him day and night, constantly nurturing it with the sword's energy, but also gained inspiration from its changes.

Learn from the universe, study and imitate the Qiao Shi Sword to nurture the inspiration in your own sword bones.

At this time, the spiritual fetus in the Qiao Shi sword is like a fetus in a pregnant woman's belly that has been pregnant for more than nine months. The soul of the sword may be born at any time.

That is to say, Zhang Xiaoqiao and Chen Laoshi, who have become sword spirits, are about to "reincarnate".

They were reborn into her sword as if they were reincarnated, and now they are about to be born as "sword babies" - sword spirits.

The sword fetus was raised and hatched by Xiaoyu, so Xiaoyu is almost their mother.

The second Yu Mansion, in the main hall.

Xiaoyu sat cross-legged on the cushion with her five hearts facing the sky. Golden light could be vaguely seen flowing through her body.

Xiaoqiang has sharp eyes and can even vaguely see the shape of the bones.

Like an X-ray machine.

In front of Xiaoyu, the Qiao Shi sword was unsheathed and suspended horizontally more than two feet in the air.

There was a misty air that emanated from Xiaoyu's bones all over her body and gathered on the sword, making the sword blade as clear as autumn water shine with a bright light. The light sprinkled on Xiaoyu, returned to her body, and entered her bones. The dead spirit in the sword bones regained a little bit of activity.

Xiaoqiang has seen similar scenes many times.

Ever since he got the Qiao Shi Sword, Xiao Yu has been nurturing the sword bone in this way.

Treat the bones as swords and cultivate them.

Unconsciously, the night was like a curtain, covering the entire earth, and the Second Yu Mansion fell into complete darkness.

The pure Yang sword energy, which is integrated with various sword intents, emits a more obvious golden glow.

The sword energy traveled through Xiaoyu's body and bones, making the image of the bones clearer.

Sometimes, when Xiaoqiang feels dazzled (his spiritual sense is stimulated), he can even see golden liquid flowing slowly inside his bones.

Suddenly, Xiaoqiang felt dazzled again and saw Xiaoyu standing up from his cross-legged sitting position.

Xiaoqiang made a funny gesture of rubbing his eyes with his paws.

Looking carefully again, he saw that his master had really stood up, with a slightly confused look on his face, and was looking around.

But the other owner was still sitting cross-legged on the cushion, still practicing the Pure Yang Sword Qi to warm and nourish the sword bones.

However, the light of the Chunyang sword was dim at this time, and it could no longer illuminate her bones like an X-ray. The Qiaoshi sword also slowly fell down, resting on her knee and gently jumping.

The two masters were dressed somewhat differently.

Xiaoyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion, was wearing a lake green padded jacket; the host, who stood up, was wearing a black gauze skirt, which was a long gown made of "Yincan gauze" with a very long hem, like a skirt.

"Master, have you become a Yin Spirit?" Xiao Qiang didn't dare to speak too loudly for fear of disturbing his master.

But it had to shout again.

It saw that she looked confused and was worried that she had lost herself.

Its voice really works.

Xiaoyu stood up and immediately turned to look at it. His eyes gradually became clear and the chaotic and confused expression on his face disappeared.

"It's not a ghost. Alas, just as I expected, the soul has left the body again."

"Is it because your mind is exhausted and your soul is unstable?" Xiao Qiang quickly realized what was happening and nervously urged, "Go back quickly. It's very dangerous to have a wandering soul. You can get lost if you're not careful."

"Do I look like I could get lost?"

Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at it and said, "Follow me!"

She took a step forward, left the main room and came to the yard.

"Huff, huff, huff~~~" It's the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, a truly cold and chilly month of winter.

The night wind was cold, blowing Xiaoyu like a flag, with her body curled up.

"Ouch, the wind is so strong, I am so light~~~"

Xiaoyu only had time to shout before he was blown away by the wind and disappeared in an instant.

It was as if a tornado had swept away a small plastic bag.

"Woof woof woof, master, where are you?" Xiaoqiang shouted anxiously.

But it could neither see where she was nor get any response from her.

"I told you to go back but you didn't listen. Now you've been blown away by the wind, right?"

Xiao Qianggou's face was full of entanglement and struggle, "Alas, if you can't come back by yourself before dawn, I will have to go to Xianyun Temple to find that bastard Taoist priest and ask him to help you call your soul back~~"

It had an idea in its mind, and returned to the main room. It approached Xiaoyu, who was still silently practicing her inner strength, and used its paws to lift the hem of her green jacket. Sure enough, the "Yincansha" gown was gone.

"Well, with the Yin Silkworm Yarn protecting the body, at least the soul will not be blown away by the night wind. And the master drank a lot of elixirs to strengthen the Yin Spirit before."

Xiaoqiang felt a little relieved.
