“Swap souls?”
“How is that possible!”
Da Hei's reaction to this news was the same as Xu Chengxian's. They were both stunned at first, and then shook their heads.
To swap the souls of two mortals?
How could that be possible.
“I also think it's impossible.” Xu Chengxian said, crossing his arms.
Early this morning.
Bai Wenyu came to the Governor's mansion again.
According to the agreement last night, he would represent Governor Pan today and invite the Sect Leader of the Sea Soul Sect to come.
So he came a little earlier to confirm today's banquet with Pan Anshou, and also brought the servants he had agreed to lend to the Pan mansion.
Pan Anshou welcomed him in. After they exchanged a few words, Bai Wenyu turned around and got back into the carriage, heading towards the Sea Soul Sect.
During this time, 'Pan Mengdie' in the Pan mansion made a fuss about seeing him, causing a bit of a stir.
It was at this time that Xu Chengxian heard him sigh in the carriage, 'The matter of soul swapping is too bizarre. Why has it happened again after fifteen years?'
This sentence contained too much information.
Once fifteen years ago, and again after fifteen years?
This means that one of the two 'Pan Mengdie' is real, and the other is Lin Rumeng.
Between the two women, Bai Wenyu was clearly in love with Lin Rumeng.
So, from this guy's perspective, his beloved woman was harmed by a wicked woman, but her soul entered the wicked woman's body, and he lived with her as husband and wife for fifteen years.
No wonder he's so eager to investigate the truth.
But this is clearly impossible.
The three souls and seven spirits of ordinary mortals are fundamentally scattered.
It's not like a cultivator who has cultivated their soul into one and can project their astral body.
When the life soul leaves the body, the earth soul will remain in the physical body.
If the destined lifespan has ended, the heavenly soul will dissipate within three days.
If the destined lifespan has not ended, the heavenly soul will temporarily reside in the upper dantian.
In the former case, there is a chance of revival if the life soul returns within seven days. In the latter case, there is no room for recovery after twelve hours.
“Can't it really be swapped?” Yin Kong asked doubtfully, “Why does this little monk seem to have heard a few rumors of souls swapping bodies?”
Could it be that they are all fake?
But those stories and legends clearly describe it vividly, even stating clearly when, where, and on whom it happened.
“Senior Brother, are you stupid?” Liuguang said immediately upon hearing this, “Swap souls? What souls are being swapped?”
If the heavenly soul is not present, the seven spirits of a person will dissipate one by one within seven days, and the fate soul can only return to the underworld.
But if the heavenly soul and the seven spirits are still present, the life soul of another person cannot enter the divine orifice.
In other words, the souls of ordinary people are both scattered and closely connected, and it is impossible to replace just one of them.
But it is even more impossible to replace all three souls and seven spirits.
As soon as the soul completely leaves the body, the physical body will immediately lose its vitality.
Even gods and immortals cannot make a lifeless body regain its vitality.
“Moreover, the rules of the Great Dao forbid it.” Da Hei snorted.
The fact that their race can use the method of abandoning their physical bodies to temporarily escape the fate of extinction is also related to this rule.
The rules of the Great Dao are different from the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
There is still a possibility of circumventing the latter by using tricks, and even great powers can use the rules of the Heavenly Dao to scheme against others, making it seem like an omnipotent cultivator.
“No one understands this better than this venerable one!” Da Hei patted his chest and said, “If you really encounter a situation where the physical body is dead but the divine soul is not extinguished, it's better to let it be reborn and start a new life than to walk the path of ghost cultivation.”
“Or, use other spiritual treasures of heaven and earth to create a body for it.”
Don't even think about saving it.
“Haha! That's right! That's right!” Xu Chengxian laughed.
Da Hei is now the owner of two dark humor jokes.
One is that no one understands refining weapons better than it, and the other is that no one understands the separation of divine soul and flesh better than it.
“You're laughing at what!” Da Hei shouted, “Laughing at this venerable one means paying with blood qi clusters!”
“Here, here, here.” Xu Chengxian generously threw over a cluster, “So, this matter is a double bind.”
“That's right, so how can this be swapped?” Yin Kong was confused.
“That's why I said it's impossible.” Liuguang said, “Senior Brother Yin Kong, the stories you've heard must have other secrets.”
“What other secrets could there be?”
“There are so many.” Liuguang said crisply, “My master said that if you want to expose the bizarre things in this world, it's actually very easy.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.” Xu Chengxian became interested upon hearing this.
“Just trace the roots and remember one sentence.” Liuguang raised her head and said, “The root cause of the incidents is nothing more than the word 'covet'.”
Family property, reputation, or something else.
“Damn it, too annoying!” Xu Chengxian scratched his head.
There are quite a few things that the Pan and Bai families can be coveted for.
If you want to trace the roots, you don't even know where to start.
“In my opinion, this matter is probably aimed at the Bai family.” Liuguang said.
Yin Kong nodded in agreement.
Don't think that Pan Anshou is the Governor of Yizhou, but he doesn't have the things that cultivators need.
On the contrary, the Bai family has the legendary Nascent Soul ancestor and a marriage agreement with the Yellow Dragon clan.
“Although I don't know what's good to scheme here, there must be treasures we don't know about, and they are also involved.” Liuguang said with certainty.
Xu Chengxian nodded.
The reason why he and Da Hei discussed the authenticity of 'Pan Mengdie' without avoiding these two guys was also to test whether they were involved in this matter.
Or whether the forces behind them participated.
He had long discovered that Liuguang and Yin Kong were not really stupid. On the contrary, they were actually very smart.
It's just that they don't interact with people often, so they seem a little simple and don't know how to hide their emotions.
Judging from their current performance of actively participating in the case analysis, they don't know about this matter.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the Bodhi Temple and the Sea Soul Sect did not tell them.
Regardless of which one it is, it shows that the system task has nothing to do with these two.
In that case, according to the plan, send them back to the Sea Soul Sect.
“You two pack up. If the Sect Leader of the Sea Soul Sect comes later, I'll let you meet him.” Xu Chengxian said to Liuguang and Yin Kong.
… …
The Sect Leader of the Sea Soul Sect did not come.
This early-stage Golden Core great cultivator is not in Xuzhou at the moment.
So Xu Chengxian's superficial purpose was temporarily put on hold.
But his real purpose was achieved.
That afternoon, he followed the Right Protector of the Sea Soul Sect and entered the Sea Soul Sect's base.
And under the leadership of a disciple, he took a good turn around to familiarize himself with the terrain.
That night, he was going to steal…
Oh, no, that's not right.
He was going to find treasure.
Looking for that sarira that he had been thinking about, which led him to run to Xuzhou.
A Bodhisattva-realm sarira.
