Chapter 86 Soul Parasite? Xuantian Sect's Eyes and Spies? (Three more chapters, please subscribe!)

In the "Dream Interpretation" chapter of the introductory volume of "The Great Dream Spring and Autumn", a spell called "Sleepyhead" is mentioned.

"Just like the seven souls of the physical body, there are parasites, which are subtle and difficult to detect."

"There are similar beings among the souls of life."

"Sleepyhead is one of them."

Zhao Xing read it carefully.

With the combat power of this era, discovering parasites is not a rare thing, but it is the first time he has heard that ghosts also have similar existences to parasites.

"Da Meng Chun Qiu also divides soul parasites into two types: good and evil."

“Some of the parasites that exist in the soul are benign symbiotic and even indispensable, equivalent to probiotics in the body?” Zhao Xing found it more and more interesting the more he read it, and he couldn’t help but become fascinated.

"Sleepyheads are a benign type."

"Without it, the soul cannot sleep."

"If the soul doesn't get rest, the energy of the seven spirits will weaken, and it will appear listless."

"If you continue to not get rest, the seven souls will become further weakened until you die."

“The sleepy bug will completely disappear only when it reaches the first level.”

"Because the three souls are integrated into one, the soul begins to transform into the spirit soul, and it tends to be perfect. It will reject any alien body instead."

"This spell in the dream interpretation chapter teaches people how to catch sleepyheadedness?" Zhao Xing was a little surprised. He really didn't know much about this unique skill.

This is the first time I've heard of such a spell.

"Take away a person's sleepiness, making it impossible for him to fall asleep and keeping his mind in a state of constant excitement."

"If used properly, it can exert a sustained combat capability, but if it exceeds a certain limit, the seven souls will weaken. In this way, it is possible to kill a person without anyone noticing."

"Huh? Can you still play like this?"

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up.

At first he thought that the dream interpretation chapter was some nonsense.

I didn’t expect that the dream interpretation chapter describes the essence of the three souls, which is a deconstruction of the soul and dreams, and the interpretation of the dream content is secondary.

"In the dream interpretation chapter, there is also a spell mentioned that can benefit oneself."

"That is, the Dream Preservation Method."

"The dream storage method can store memory content and prevent the neglect or forgetting of certain long-standing or key content."

"Powerful practitioners in ancient times often lived for thousands of years. They had too many memories and sometimes couldn't distinguish the past from the present, so it was easy for them to go astray."

"The dream storage method solves this problem. It can seal some memories through dreams."

"In addition, the Dream Preservation Method is also applicable to certain cultivation comprehension?"

Zhao Xing looked at the description of this method.

It is mentioned in the dream interpretation that some mysterious things created by nature possess the mysteries of Tao.

But the mysteries of Tao are too profound, and sometimes the impact is too great for the one who perceives it to bear it, and problems are likely to arise.

The dream retention method can enhance the practitioner's endurance. To put it simply, it has the ability to build a memory palace and expand brain capacity.

"The Dreaming Chapter also has many magical aspects." Zhao Xing browsed through the second stage again, "The second step to being able to understand the essence of dreams is to enter the dream."

"Enter your own dreams, enter other people's dreams, and pull others into your dreams."

"However, the Dreaming Chapter does not mention any secret attack methods. It is mostly used as a means of confidential information transmission." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

For example, being a spy in a foreign country, whether it is making contact or leaving secret codes or tokens, is not safe.

But conveying messages through dreams is even more secretive.

This is the dream method.

"No wonder people always say that the Yin spirits come to you in dreams. The essence of dreams is the occasional intersection of the three souls."

Zhao Xing thought of his own [Yin Feng] method again.

"At that time, I used Yin Feng magic to blow on Lao Chen, and Lao Chen had a nightmare as a result."

"It can be said that I accidentally controlled the other party's dream."

"But this is a very superficial control. The Yinfeng method is mainly used for attack and killing."

Zhao Xing felt that this unique skill was very much to his liking.

He immediately began to practice the magic of dream interpretation.

[You observed the soul armor and comprehended the dream interpretation chapter of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Period. After a night, you finally got started and comprehended the spell "Dream Preservation".]

【Dream: Intermediate Spell】

【Progress: 0/9999】

[Effect: Construct dream memory and improve the soul's endurance]

It took Zhao Xing an entire night to comprehend just the introductory chapter.

The Great Dream Spring and Autumn is indeed a top-level martial art, and the so-called minor spells such as Sleepyhead and Dream Cun are actually of mid-level level.

"They are all very practical spells."

"It's this method of surviving in dreams. It's too difficult. I tried it once, but failed for a long time. It also made me dizzy." Zhao Xing shook his head.

"Try the sleepy bug spell."

It’s easy to practice to be a sleepyhead.

Just make yourself the goal.

Zhao Xing concentrated his mind and looked inward, observing the 'life soul' with the 'celestial soul'.

In addition, he had the clear eyes spell as a foundation, so it was easy for him to find the sleepyhead in himself.

"Om~"

The sleepyhead was gathered into his palm.

[You cast the spell 'Sleepy Bug' once, progress +20]

"The sleepy bug spell can be retracted and released, so it's easy to practice." Zhao Xing slapped his head lightly, and the sleepy bug entered his body again.

[You cast the spell 'Sleepy Bug' once, progress +20]

Two hours later.

Zhao Xing stopped.

During the practice, he also carefully experienced the feeling of this spell acting on the soul.

"Just once, there's not much difference, or even no difference at all."

“But if it happens more than ten times, then it will be very obvious.”

Zhao Xing looked at the silver-white ball of light in his hand. Under his bright eyes, he saw that many sleepy bugs merged into one, becoming a more powerful "bug king".

This is a skill that you will master after you have reached the first level of the Sleepyhead spell and have truly gotten started.

That is to merge the sleepy bugs with each other to make the effect stronger and take effect faster.

"If I collect enough sleepy bugs, can I make Old Chen fall asleep instantly?"

"If it's useful in a fight, it's a great trick."

The more Zhao Xing thought about it, the more he felt that this spell suited his taste.

While we are fighting, if the enemy falls asleep, won't he be at my mercy?
"However, when the soul encounters danger, the energy it explodes is even greater. If I want to achieve an immediate impact, I need to practice this spell more."

Buzz~ The sleepiness was dispelled by magic, and Zhao Xing went out with renewed energy.

He has already mastered the control of this spell, and it has a good effect of refreshing himself.

"Isn't today a day off? Why are you up so early?" As soon as I went out, I saw Zhao Ruide standing under a locust tree.

"I'm used to getting up early." Zhao Xing fetched a basin of water and washed his face. "Where's Zheng'er?"

"You haven't gotten up yet." Zhao Ruide's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

He really couldn't do anything with his youngest son. He couldn't hit him, and scolding him was useless.

At my age, I really have no resistance to my youngest son's coquettish behavior.

What's more, Zhao Zheng is a likable boy, and he is also very good at acting like a spoiled child.

Zhao Ruide really couldn't bear to force him to practice martial arts.

"Why is it like this again?" Zhao Xing was a little dissatisfied.

"The family has no worries about food and clothing. As long as he has a good character, he doesn't have to practice martial arts to become successful." Zhao Ruide said.

"But you've already told him to practice martial arts, and now you're half-hearted about it. Aren't you teaching him to give up halfway?" Zhao Xing said, "In the future, he won't care about anything. No matter how big the problem is, he can solve it by just acting cute to you."

After being scolded by his adopted son, Zhao Ruide felt a little embarrassed.

"You're right, we should be more ruthless." He immediately cut a branch and walked towards the bedroom angrily.

When he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Zhao Xing: "You won't stop me?"

Zhao Xing was surprised and said, "Why should I stop you? It's only natural for a father to discipline his son." Zhao Ruide hesitated and said, "Is this one too big?"

Zhao Xing said helplessly: "If you can't bear to do it, don't pretend. Throw away the stick and I will shout."

"Who said that? I don't want to throw it away. I just want to change it to a smaller one..." Zhao Ruide stepped aside awkwardly, but he didn't throw away the branch in the end. He just secretly changed it to a smaller one, and then stood outside with a fierce face, waiting for Zhao Zheng to get up.

Zhao Xing didn't go in either. He stood outside the door and started to catch Zhao Zheng's sleepiness.

He has a good sense of proportion.

After three times, Zhao Zheng woke up by himself.

However, even though this guy couldn't sleep, he still rolled around in bed and refused to get up, which made Zhao Xing laugh so much.

"You still have to take this beating anyway."

Zhao Xing kicked the door open and rushed in.

"Brother, good morning, good morning." When Zhao Zheng saw that it was his brother who kicked the door in, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He must have gotten up late today.

So she raised her little face and showed an innocent smile, trying to awaken her brother's love.

Unfortunately, my brother has no love, only cruelty.

"What did you promise your father before? Do you remember the agreed time for martial arts practice?"

"It's the hour of Mao, Mao."

"It is now 15:00 in the morning. You are nine-quarters of an hour late. Go out and ask your father to give you the stick. Two hits in one quarter of an hour."

"Ah?" Zhao Zheng suddenly looked bitter.

"How about I hit you?" Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows.

"No, no, don't worry, brother. I'll go and receive the punishment right away!" Zhao Zheng got up immediately.

"Hurry up, it's almost 15:00. If you delay for another minute, you'll get more punishment."

"Know it!"

Zhao Zhengfei also got up and washed.

"Baozi, delicious buns~"

"Sesame pancakes, delicious and fragrant pancakes!"

"Almond tea, drink a pot to warm you up all day! Protects your stomach and liver~"

When Zhao Xing walked out of the door, the streets along Pingkangfang were already very lively.

I bought some breakfast and went to Chen Shijie's house. I found a delicate woman peeking outside the door of Chen's house, carrying a basket, like a thief.

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing looked around and listened carefully, and he immediately realized that there was something fishy going on.

He immediately went around behind the woman silently.

"Whoo~"

A gust of cold wind blew around the woman, and Zhao Xing shouted, "Who are you? Who sent you?"

"Ah!" The woman was startled and turned around unexpectedly, almost falling to the ground.

Zhao Xing discovered that this person was weak, so he didn't take action immediately, but just stared at her.

"Tell me, why are you sneaking around outside the Chen Mansion!"

"I, I..." The woman hesitated and refused to speak.

"If you don't say anything, come with me to see the official," Zhao Xing threatened.

"Hey, don't. Can't I just leave?" The woman wiped away her tears with some grievance.

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment. His bright eyes had already reached the maximum level, and he also cultivated Yin Feng and Da Meng Chun Qiu. Now he had a keen sense of the soul.

Through the little tricks in Da Meng Chun Qiu, he was able to judge that the woman was not lying.

Aren’t they followers of Xuantian Sect?

Yes, how can there be such a crude surveillance method?

"Shh!"

At this moment, Chen Shijie flew out from the mansion and landed between the two of them.

With a wave of his hand, the evil wind surrounding the woman was dispelled.

Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows.

Old Chen is indeed not a simple person.

This is not the entry-level Yin Feng, but the ninth level!

Even though he had no control over it, but he was able to dispel the Nine-turn Yin Wind with just a casual wave of his hand?
"What's going on? Why are you using Yin Feng on an ordinary person?" Chen Shijie supported the woman and looked at Zhao Xing with a frown.

"I saw her sneaking around outside your house and thought she was someone bewitched by the Xuantian Cult." Zhao Xing explained.

"She's not." Chen Shijie patted the woman's back, "Let's talk about it after we go in."

Chen Shijie waved his hand, and a storm suddenly arose around him.

A storm corridor was formed between the alley and the gate of the mansion.

Zhao Xing was a little surprised. He didn't know whether Lao Chen was showing off his skills or what.

I always feel that something is wrong with Chen Shijie today.

It's like he's covering something up.

Could this be his lover?

Even if it is, there is no problem.

Isn't it normal for him to have a lover? The atmosphere in the Great Zhou is open-minded, and there are many people who have relationships with each other even if they are unmarried. It's not necessary at all.

Could it be a married woman?
When you think about it this way, it seems to make sense.

There was something wrong with the look in Zhao Xing's eyes when he looked at Chen Shijie.

I didn't expect that you, Lao Chen, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be so fancy.

Now the trouble is over!

"What are you thinking about? It's not what you think." After Chen Shijie brought the woman to the mansion, he arranged for her to rest in the living room, and then ran to the side hall to chat with Zhao Xing. "Gui Niang is not married and I am not married. It's not what you think."

"I didn't say anything." Zhao Xing waved his hand, "Your Excellency is definitely not that image in my mind."

"I will be transferred next year and join the army." Zhao Xing didn't intend to ask further, but Chen Shijie took the initiative to say it.

"Transferred?" Zhao Xing was stunned. He didn't expect Old Chen to leave so soon. But when he thought about it, it was indeed a waste of talent for Chen Shijie to stay in the rear as a civilian.

As long as there is nothing serious wrong, he will be transferred back to the army.

I just don't know if there is any hidden secret.

"I had some problems with my team before, and they have not been resolved." Chen Shijie said lightly, "So my relationship with Gui Niang has never been made public. Although it has been resolved this time, I encountered some unexpected things in other aspects. So I told her that we would not see each other for a while, but I didn't expect you to see it."

"You're not telling me all this for nothing, are you?" Zhao Xing vaguely guessed something.

"That's right." Chen Shijie nodded. "I want you to go to the army with me. This is what I planned from the beginning. It would be a waste of time if you don't serve as the military minister. I can see that you have great ambitions. I originally planned to wait for you for a year or two, but now it seems that you are making rapid progress and Yin Feng has already entered the ninth level."

"Come with me to join the army, Zhao Xing. A good man should fight in all directions. Don't tell me you like to stay in the rear as a civilian. If you stay in such a comfortable place for a few years, all your talents will be wasted!"

At this time, Chen Shijie no longer treated Zhao Xing as a superior. Ever since Zhao Xing was promoted to a higher rank, he truly regarded Zhao Xing as a fellow traveler.

What I say now is completely from the bottom of my heart.

Zhao Xing pondered and said, "We can talk about this later. Can you first tell me why you broke up with Gui Niang when you were still half a year away from being transferred? What exactly was the accident you encountered?"

Chen Shijie smiled and said, "Look, this kind of alertness and innate sharpness, I said you are suitable to be the military minister, you should come with me to see the Marquis!"

Zhao Xing didn't say anything. Although he felt that Chen Shijie was quite suitable, he couldn't just agree to it blindly. Chen Shijie had to be honest with him first.

"It's Xuantian Sect."

Xuantian Sect? Zhao Xing was stunned.

Chen Shijie sat on the chair and said slowly: "Since half a year ago, the almanac I have has given many warnings. In the past six months, there have been ten warnings of major disasters and thirty-five warnings of minor disasters."

"I didn't know the reason before, because as a ninth-rank official, other people's almanacs didn't have this kind of hint, only mine did. Also, I couldn't analyze the reason, until officials and clerks from all over Nanyang County were abducted a while ago, and I learned more about the inside story, then I understood why."

Zhao Xing asked, "Didn't you tell the government officials before?"

Chen Shijie sneered and said, "Have you forgotten that we are officials? It's just one or two bad omens. Do we really need a seventh-rank official to protect us? I couldn't figure out the reason, so I decided to investigate after many times."

"After the third disaster, I asked the military to look into the anomalies in Pinghai Prefecture in recent years, and only then did I roughly determine that the Xuantian Sect was the root of the disaster."

"Afterwards, I reported my guess to the county. But just as I said just now, can they still send someone to protect me closely for twelve hours?"

Zhao Xing asked, "Can't we just do a big search or something to find these monsters?"

Chen Shijie shook his head: "You don't understand. Xuantian Sect is not a small sect. The 72 Taoist temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty were formed after the policy of expelling sects was set during the reign of Taizu. Among these Taoist temples, Xuantian Sect can also be ranked among the best."

"Its actions are extremely covert. Even during the reign of Emperor Taizu, they were not able to completely eradicate it. They were only expelled. Do you think this is easy? If the founding monarchs were unable to do it, it will be difficult for future generations to do it."

"The Xuantian Sect has been in existence for more than 2,000 years. Can Nanyang County find out the depth of a sect that has not been destroyed for more than 2,000 years and occasionally causes chaos in the world in a short period of time?"

Zhao Xing thought for a while and said, "That's the truth. A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Chen Shijie said slowly: "Since that time, I knew that Xuantian Sect might have set their sights on me. And I should be a relatively important person on their list."

"So I stopped meeting with Gui Niang, just to deal with this matter."

Zhao Xing was a little surprised: "You are not planning to..."

Chen Shijie nodded: "Yes, I plan to risk my life and join forces with the military to set up a trap to lure Xuantian Sect to attack me. If I don't get rid of the demon's den in Nanyang County, I won't be able to leave without worry. These guys are so cruel and crazy, if they know the relationship between me and Gui Niang, I'm afraid innocent people will be implicated."

Zhao Xing was stunned: "Isn't this too risky?"

Chen Shijie smiled and said, "Once I succeed, I won't have to worry about Gui Niang anymore after I leave. Nanyang County can continue to be peaceful and happy, and I can also get some credit to serve in the army. It's three birds with one stone. This risk is worth it!"
