The leading gangster had several long knives pierced through his body. He groaned and died on the spot.
Su Hanshan noticed something strange.
Generally speaking, after a person dies, the brain stops functioning, and the fluctuations in spiritual thoughts will undergo a rapid weakening and disintegration process, just like ice melting and snow melting, and finally disappear in complete chaos.
However, when the leading gangster died, the thought waves did not completely collapse and were lost to the surrounding environment.
But just when there were signs of collapse, it suddenly flashed and disappeared.
It didn't look like real death at all, but like someone had stolen the scattered soul.
But Su Hanshan's spiritual magnetic field has been shrouding the surroundings, and he didn't even notice where the soul was stolen.
This gave him a chill in his heart.
"I just heard these gangsters talking. They are all accustomed to magic and magic weapons, so they should not be careless."
Su Hanshan's attitude was cautious, and with a change of thought, he let the remaining few A gangster, he couldn't help himself, his limbs were limp and he was flying in the air.
He led the group of people in a low-altitude flight, leaving no trace on the snow, and all the smells along the way were swept away.
After arriving a few miles away, I saw a cave and landed in it.
There is a hibernating blind bear in this cave. Because of the cold weather, the smell in the cave is not very pungent.
Su Hanshan landed directly on Xiong Xiongzi's back. At this moment, the joints of this small body were already a little loose. When encountering Xiong Xiongzi's warm body temperature, he could feel more comfortable.
The gangsters fell into this cave with confused eyes.
Along the way just now, Su Hanshan wrapped his thoughts around them while they were flying, and they continued to penetrate into his brain.
Using the Great Compassionate Heart Seal Dharani, I realized that the essence of spiritual power is hard and soft, moistening things silently, and bewitching their spirits.
Compared with the previous forced interrogation and rough intimidation and hypnosis, this method now allows these gangsters to recall all kinds of memory details that they usually cannot remember, and tell them in an orderly manner.
It turns out that this is the Song Dynasty, which can be roughly regarded as the background of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as the Liao Kingdom and Xixia.
But the situation is much more complicated than the Southern Song Dynasty world that Su Hanshan had read in books or visited personally.
In addition to the Song, Liao, and Xia dynasties, there are also Guifang, Qurong, Shiwei, Tubo, Tianzhu, Tiele, Chidi, Dingling, Jurchen, Meng Shu, Liao Guo, Zhaowu, Nan Huai, Luwei, Yutu, etc., hundreds of countries, large and small.
The place where Su Hanshan is now is the Purple Mountain outside Jinling City in the Song Dynasty.
There are three groups of bandits who are squatting among the peaks. They selected Toutuo Mountain, Xiaomao Mountain and Tianbao Mountain respectively. They built a lot of construction and built camps on the top of these three peaks.
He also recruited some bandits, ferocious people, and occasionally gangsters everywhere. Hearing about his reputation, he came to seek refuge, and the government did not come to encircle and suppress him. He has been free for more than ten years and is very happy.
The head of Wushao Village on Toutuo Ridge is called Black Toutuo. No one knows his real name. He looks about fifty years old and has superb martial arts. He mainly practices whipping techniques on weekdays.
In addition, he knows how to drive away birds, poisonous snakes, collect miasma and other spells.
I have never heard of anyone who knows how to restrain souls.
“From their descriptions, the strength of Black Toutuo is barely a reflection of his true form. Before the siege of Jinling Deputy General Niu Guocheng, three cottages were dispatched together to search and intercept him.”
Su Hanshan's thoughts are subtle.
The scattered thoughts of the leading gangster suddenly disappeared. If the cause is not Heitutuo, there are two situations.
For one thing, it may be some special phenomenon belonging to this world.
Secondly, it may be related to the characters behind the three copycats.
Yes, although these gangsters themselves do not know who is behind the copycat, they also mentioned a lot of strange things.
For example, the combined number of people in these three villages is nearly 10,000. They are not far from each other, but they have almost never attacked each other.
They often sent out small groups to rob caravans and wreak havoc on villages and towns, but the little they got back was not enough to fill their teeth in the entire village.
Rather than going out to rob homes and plunder homes, it is better to say that they are taking turns practicing and training.
Most of the daily consumption in the village is supplied by a group of mysterious forces.
In the rare large-scale operations, some high-profile people came to the village to discuss traveling together.
In response to the incident involving Jinling Deputy General Niu Guocheng, the three major cottages were dispatched together to search the mountains and cut off roads. They cooperated tacitly and laid out cordons in an orderly manner.
After Niu Guocheng died, even a four or five-year-old child insisted on seeing the body.
This is also because the people behind the copycat issued orders similar to eradicating the roots.
Su Hanshan asked again about the deeds of the more famous masters in the entire Jinling world, and he had some ideas in his mind.
But relying on such rumors alone, it is impossible to grasp the exact combat strength. Ask these gangsters again, but they don’t even know what realms they have in their own practice.
Su Hanshan sat silently for a while, waiting for the child's skin to gradually regain its elasticity and the complexion to become healthy, white and rosy, then he stood up and moved his joints.
The bear, frightened by his thoughts, fell into a deep sleep and did not react even if a child stood and walked around on it.
"This body is still too weak."
Su Hanshan's martial arts golden elixir could have mobilized the vitality of heaven and earth at two levels.
The vitality that belongs to the Xuantai level now cannot be used rashly. Even the 100% inert vitality that belongs to the normal golden elixir level can only be used at 50% to 60%.
This is thanks to his management of the Five Thunder Dreamland and his understanding of the mysteries of earth energy. He has already gained a lot, and his vitality cultivation has become more profound and stable.
You must know that the ordinary golden elixir masters in the Taibai Divine Tree World usually have three dantians scattered, and they can only form a golden elixir when facing a battle.
It is because the mere existence of the golden elixir has already placed a huge burden on their bodies.
And even if you are in the golden elixir, or Xuantai realm, you cannot change your body casually.
Su Hanshan was able to control Situ Yuntao's body in the first place because Situ Yuntao left eight hundred Flowing Cloud Fire Talismans in his body for maintenance.
The fact that the dead body can be revived in this child's body is thanks to the secret of the Tai Chi mark being triggered when it crosses the boundary.
This means that he cannot take the initiative to change into a body stronger than a child before his real body arrives.
"Anyway, I have the golden elixir to supply energy, and the realm is sufficient. Let's temper and temper this child's body as soon as possible."
Su Hanshan gradually awakened the meridians in this body, and trained them first to feel the strength. After feeling calmer, he looked at the gangsters.
"Now, let me try again, what is going on with your souls."
That time, he just observed with his mind.
This time, his body can already move, and he can use the mysterious method of physical visualization, spiritual visualization, and dual visualization.
And replace the object of visualization with the thirty-two Bodhisattva protector images in the "Great Compassionate Heart Seal Dharani".
“This is the treasure of light, because all Buddha natures are illuminated by the light; it is the treasure of compassion, because Dharani always saves lives...”
“This is the treasure of wonderful Dharma, which covers all Dharmas. Because of Nirvana; this is the storehouse of meditation, and hundreds of thousands of samadhis always appear before you... "This is the treasure of fearlessness, because the good gods of dragon and heaven are always protecting it; it is the treasure of wonderful words, because the sound of Dharani in the mouth is never cut off..."
Su Hanshan's white little face, Glowing like pearls, your complexion becomes cleaner and healthier.
The child's voice is full of childishness, and the fingers are soft. When performing the seals, there is a natural innocence. With a little effort, the tips of the fingers will become bright red, and the effect of physical visualization is pure.
The dark night snow outside the cave is still cold and deserted. Looking from the outside into the cave, nothing can be seen.
However, when Su Hanshan's thirty-two types of handprints were all transformed, the entire cave was already emitting a bright, clear light.
Even the hair on the blind bear's body has become crystal clear, as if it is not stained by dirt.
In Su Hanshan's eyes, the clothes of those gangsters first became transparent, and then their skin and flesh became transparent, leaving only their skeletons.
Then through the skull, you can see the outline of the brain and the spiritual consciousness running in the brain.
A four-year-old child sitting on a bear is like sitting under a Bodhi tree, in a cool country, with a gold floor and crystal inlays. His eyes are as bright as gold and he lets out a light scold.
These gangsters died suddenly on the spot.
Their soul thoughts, when they felt the death of their bodies, declined sharply and became scattered, and then suddenly disappeared.
Double visualization inside and outside, all thirty-two Dharma seals.
Su Hanshan finally caught the strange aura this time, and his thoughts came naturally. He then adjusted the same frequency and quietly passed it to explore.
After that ray of thought was adjusted, I immediately felt a pull, a feeling of falling and settling, passing through the unknown barrier.
The next moment, Su Hanshan's mind observed the endless dim world.
The bodies of the gangsters who died just now are translucent and floating next to Su Hanshan.
They seemed to have retained their intact souls, but their faces were dull and expressionless, and they were mumbling something that others could not understand.
As they continued to recite, their expressions of confusion became heavier, and the human-shaped souls curled up one after another and turned into several balls of green fire.
Su Hanshan discovered that thoughts seem to be easily preserved in this place.
Perhaps the strength of an ordinary person's thoughts can be retained here for more than a hundred years after leaving the physical body.
This is very strange. Even the Tianxin consciousness in the world of martial arts is far from this level.
The will of heaven in the world of martial arts and the sea of subconsciousness of all living beings are ultimately based on living beings.
Once a living person dies, the remaining thoughts will soon become rigid, and the will of heaven will gradually return to the state of being symbiotic with wood and stone, without feeling or consciousness.
So after the population of Wude World dropped sharply, most of the sea of subconsciousness of all living beings was already lifeless.
However, if in this strange space, there are many more people dying, I am afraid that it will become more lively in a few hundred years.
However, in this unfamiliar space, while it is easy to retain the activity of thoughts, it is also easier to become scattered.
That is to say, their souls will disintegrate and die early, and the remaining fire of thoughts will no longer be the original person.
Su Hanshan tried his best to keep his thoughts calm and stable.
He has no experience in this area, and always feels that there are many stagnations in extending the body spirit from the cave to this inexplicable space.
This place seems like a big desert, with very serious dust and haze.
But the scenery is not monotonous, because there are countless green will-o’-wisps floating in the haze in the distance.
Su Hanshan just moved slightly to a certain direction to observe more.
Some of the will-o'-the-wisps in that place suddenly flickered and turned into human forms.
Some had broken necks, heads held in their hands, tongues swollen in their mouths, as if they were holding a red bead, and some were covered in blood with arrows stuck all over their bodies, like a big hedgehog.
There are many figures, some are thick and some are light, but none of them look like living people.
Perhaps because they felt Su Hanshan's gaze, the figures swayed and floated towards this side.
As soon as they moved, the dust and haze nearby also surged. More will-o'-the-wisps were affected by the haze, and most of them became dim and drifted with the tide.
Some of them were stimulated to expand, and from the will-o'-the-wisps, brilliant colors like the aurora emitted.
The roar was mixed with the wail, and the deformed will-o'-the-wisps created the appearance of a dilapidated cottage, palace, or ship.
The shadowy people are among these buildings, shouting and running around, as if they are all experiencing the most unforgettable event in their lives.
The haze surged faster after being disturbed by this kind of interference.
Su Hanshan’s thoughts were suddenly swallowed up and lost.
"It turns out it's the underworld!"
Su Hanshan's eyes flickered in the cave, and he raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.
When he was finally hit by the haze, he also captured some information.
The underworld of this world does not seem to have the comprehensive order of the underworld as in the legend.
Don’t talk about things like the Book of Life and Death, the Judge of Hell. I didn’t even see the impermanence of black and white, or the head of a bull or the face of a horse.
Such a world is certainly more troublesome than the normal martial arts world, but it has already filled Su Hanshan with deep curiosity.
“It is difficult to make a plan if you are not familiar with the place. You still need to know more about the situation.”
Su Hanshan pulled the yellow cloud flag and saw that on the yellow cloth, it turned out that there was I drew hundreds of cinnabar-colored charms of varying sizes and pondered for a moment, but I didn't see how to use them.
Simply pour in a burst of skill, shaking the entire flag cloth like an iron plate, and spread it flat in the air.
The child's body jumped up, pulled by his vitality, and flew out of the cave, heading straight for Toutuo Ridge.
At this moment, celebrations were taking place on Toutuo Ridge.
This mountain village is built with tight barriers. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are checkpoints everywhere, including trenches, arrow towers and suspension bridges.
Most of the people in the village wore uniform uniforms and were armed with steel knives, spears, and bows and arrows. They were not just a group of bandits, but they were clearly an army.
Even though the lights are brightly lit inside the village, and the aroma of wine and meat wafts for miles, there are still people patrolling the mountains.
There are even many people outside, braving the cold and freezing weather, continuing to search for the little kid who started a family in Niu Kingdom. On weekdays, rewards and punishments must be clear and disciplined.
However, it is not easy to think deeply about eating people's hearts and livers as a common thing while maintaining strict discipline.
A piece of yellow cloth high in the sky looks extremely small, flying through the clouds and flying over the top of the mountain.
