876, Master Nengben (2/2)
In the dark sky.
The black wind blew, tearing the black clothes on a body with only a small part of the body covered with flesh and the rest of the body exposed.
Su Wu loosened the reins, circled around the skeleton, and carefully checked the surroundings of the corpse, but no other valuable clues were left.
He then stripped off the clothes on the skeleton, and found a token wrapped in a bunch of debris in the pocket of the black clothes that had been tattered by the years.
It was a bone gilded token.
On the front of the token, several secret characters were dotted with gold paint, and the meaning was "a formal master of the Benevolent religion".
The four corners of the back were carved with some decorative patterns, and two rows of secret characters were also engraved in the middle - "a sect that can be used by the "Qunlu", a natural Benevolent master Duocuobajie. '
These two rows of secret characters explained the specific identity of the skeleton, that is, a "natural Benevolent master" named "Duocuobajie".
And explained that ‘Duocuo Bajie’ came from ‘the sect of Duqun Lu who can be used by me’, which is abbreviated in Chinese as ‘Nengben Sect’.
“It was this skeleton that pulled the rope…
If I had followed the hemp rope, would I have seen this skeleton?” Wang Huzi looked at the hemp rope held in the skeleton’s white bone claws and asked in a low voice.
Su Wu shook his head.
Without looking back, he said: “If you follow the hemp rope that is pulling you, you will never be able to see the real world, but will sink deeper and deeper into the ‘collective memory’ of these Nengben Sect masters, and eventually be completely infected by the ‘Lu breath’ in their memories and die.”
As he spoke, Su Wu gently took off the skull attached to the neck bone of the corpse.
Wang Huzi looked at Su Wu's actions and couldn't help but touch the back of his neck. He whispered to Su Wu, "What did Mr. Su do with the head of this corpse?"
"These Neng Bon masters gathered on this Dunwang Mountain thousands of years ago. On Dunwang Mountain, they most likely conducted some secret research and discovered some secrets about "Lu".
I took off the head of this Neng Bon master, but I wanted to try to see if I could enter their collective memories like you did.
I found some clues about "Lu" in the memories." Su Wu didn't shy away and told Wang Huzi directly.
But Wang Huzi didn't understand what he said at all.
I didn't know what he meant by "Lu", nor did I know what "Neng Bon masters" were, and what "their collective memories" were?
He didn't dare to say more, fearing that he would make Mr. Su angry if he asked too much, so he smiled and changed the subject: "When you saw Xiaozhou, Qingyu and the others before, did you also see the corpse of the 'Nengben Jiaodushi'?"
"There is only one hemp rope." Su Wu shook his head and threw the skull into the shadow world.
He took the reins of Long Cong Maben and returned along the original route: "The three of them are in a worse situation than you. Their mounts died in the collective memory first, and then half of their bodies were trapped in the collective memory of the Nengben Jiaodushi.
If it's a little later, I won't be able to get them out."
These caravan members can be easily drawn into the 'collective memory of the Nengben Jiaodushi' and fall into it, but Su Wu himself cannot set foot in the 'collective memory of the Nengben Jiaodushi'.
——His will is far more powerful than the collective memory of the Nengben Sect Master. Once his human-god body touches those "collective memories", it can cause the "collective memories of the Nengben Sect Master" lingering around Dunwang Mountain to shatter instantly.
The nihilistic world constructed by the Nengben Sect Master with collective memories cannot contain Su Wu himself!
Just like a small cup cannot contain the water of a big river.
Su Wu led the horse and took Wang Huzi and others back to the place where Zhou Bo and other members of the horse gang were stationed.
Wang Huzi and his group of four pathfinders walked for most of the day, but they were always just wandering around five or six miles around the main force.
After putting down Xiaozhou, Qingyu and Laowu, Su Wu commanded the members of the horse gang to boil three pots of water. He poured a few bowls of medicine soup into the water, and then asked people to strip the clothes of the three people and throw them into the pot to "cook".
Groups of red and white fires were roiling under the big pot.
Zhou Bo and the others looked at the three people being ‘cooked’ in the pot, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Pay attention to the heat, don’t let the medicine soup in the pot really cook the three of them.” Su Wu instructed everyone, “They are deeply trapped in the collective memories of the Nengben sect, and have been infected by the breath of a certain ‘Lu’.
This Lu’s breath is similar to Li Guigui Yun, but it is more terrifying than the general Li Guigui Yun.
This breath acts on the life root of the living, and the life root of the infected person will undergo a great change without knowing it. The person looks normal, but in fact he is no longer the original person.
I will now use firewood to cook the medicine soup, and use this method to make the medicine power gather a wisp of firewood breath, penetrate into the life root of these people, and also remove the Lu breath in their bodies.”
Su Wu had fought with the ‘Renqin Zanba Corpse’ who was suspected to be ‘Lu’, and had a deep memory of Renqin Zanba Corpse’s methods.
Renqin Zangba's son 'Naikangze' and his grandson were infected by this breath, and eventually turned into monsters that looked like humans but were actually no longer human.
"To what extent does this need to be boiled to remove the 'Lu breath' in Xiaozhou and the other three?
How to distinguish?" Zhou Bo asked Su Wu.
Su Wu looked at the three people in the steaming water and replied: "I will ask Jinglian to keep an eye on their situation. You should pay attention when cooking the medicinal soup. Don't make the water temperature too high. Just cook it for the three of them. ”
"Yes." Zhou Bo nodded.
'Jinglian', who was sitting far away, sensed Su Wu's thoughts and stood up and walked to the three iron pots and sat down.
He clasped his hands to Su Wu and said, "I will always pay attention to the situation of the three of them. You can rest assured and do other things."
"Thank you." Su Wu returned the greeting to 'Jinglian' with folded hands.
After that, Su Wu walked to a high slope, picked up many stones, and built an altar on the high slope.
He lined up the candles, squatted down on the incense burner, and spread out various ritual instruments such as altar wood, peach wood swords, talismans, etc. on a stone slab.
After displaying the altar title and summoning the altar guardian, Su Wu fished out the skull of the Nengben sect master ‘Dotso Bajie’ from the shadows and placed it upright on the altar.
Looking at the dirty, buttery skull, Su Wu's thoughts moved slightly.
——A figure 'falls off' from him and stands in front of him.
The figure's facial features were blurred, his eyes were confused, and he remained motionless on the spot. Colorful silk threads flew up from under the sleeves of Su Wu's hands, and quickly intertwined into a fate pattern behind the figure.
As soon as this figure was given a temporary fate, criss-crossing palm prints appeared on his hands. The blurred facial features suddenly became clear, and the sound of friction and collision of bones and joints came from the body.
The facial features, palm readings, and bone profiles are all ready.
The silhouette turned into an almost real 'person'.
The 'man' was naked, turned around, bowed to Su Wu, and said, "Brother Su."
His expression was calm, not showing the slightest bit of shame because he was naked in front of Su Wu.
Nowadays, the figures evolved by Su Wu's thoughts look more and more like real people, and they are completely different from the dull figures that evolved from his previous thoughts.
Su Wu took out a dark green Taoist robe and straw sandals from the shadow world, handed it to the 'person', and watched him tie up the Hunyuan bun, put on his inner clothes, tied up his socks, put on the Taoist robe, and handed out a peach wood stick He gave the sword and a few charms to the other party: "I will ask you to communicate with the skull on the altar later, to attract its residual breath, and through its residual breath, try to see if you can enter their collective memory."
"I will do my best." The 'man' smiled at Su Wu, took the peach wood sword and the charm, and turned back.
He pasted a talisman on the altar to the skull spirit, then pointed his sword finger at the center of the skull's eyebrows, and shouted loudly: "I am performing a spell to summon your true spirit. You have received the order, and the remnant soul will come quickly——
I serve the true Lord Guangzhao of Lushan Zhuxiao as urgently as the law dictates! "
One word!
The talisman attached to the skull spirit on the altar spontaneously ignited without fire!
The green smoke ignited by the spell was floating in the air, and a mutilated figure was looming in the smoke.
Thousands of years have passed, but this neng-based master ‘Dotso Bajie’ still retains a trace of his remnant soul under the influence of the strange environment of Dunwang Mountain.
This is a great blessing for future generations.
Later generations can rely on his remnant soul to trace some clues to the "annihilation of Nengben sect" and the "corpse of Rinchen Zamba" suspected to be Lu in Dunwang Mountain.
But for the person involved, 'Dotso Bajie', this was also the greatest misfortune.
That 'collective memory' can easily infect the caravan members. As the carrier of this collective memory, the many remnant souls will inevitably be tortured in the repetition of collective memory!
"The remnant soul is summoned and put into my plate!"
As soon as Su Wu thought about the evolved 'human', one hand still held the sword fingers together and pointed it between the eyebrows of the skull. With the other hand, he grabbed the Bagua plate on the altar and turned it around - the 'Gen' bit on the plate burned against the talisman. The incomplete figure outlined by the green smoke immediately threw it towards the Bagua disk in the man's hand!
At this moment, there seemed to be black clouds moving in the dark sky!
Black-clothed shadows silently spread all around the altar!
Black shadows covered the altar on the high slope like a mountain. Each black shadow opened its green ghost eyes and cast its gaze on someone who was performing a ritual on the altar.
Su Wu, who was beside someone, casually took out a peach wood sword and casually touched the peach wood sword with his palm——
The body of the red peach wood sword was like flowing gold liquid!
He casually threw out the peach wood sword with flowing gold liquid——
Click!
The sword enters the sky!
Dragon claw divine thunder descended suddenly, grabbing the black shadows and tearing them to pieces!
After three breaths, the black shadows disappeared.
The peach wood sword fell back into Su Wu's palm.
"You continue." said the 'Taoist' in front of Su Wutong.
The Taoist priest smiled, pressed his five fingers on the Bagua plate, raised his sword finger with his other hand, pointed it between his eyebrows, and said: "Jiu!"
His solid figure turned into a burst of green smoke in an instant, drifted into the Bagua plate, and instantly merged with the incomplete figure of 'Dotso Bajie' in the plate!
