Chapter 137 Everything I have is related to him
After using "Memory Rewind" on the zombie, Li Tingyun remained silent for a long time, like a silent statue, a silent "thinker" statue.
Mei Shiyu took out a snow-white silk robe from the Bodhi Ring and gave it to the zombie, and made a life-and-death pact with him, so that he could ensure that the zombie would not bring any unwarranted disasters to the living beings in the lower realm after being released back to the human world.
Mei Shiyu chose a solution that satisfied both sides.
And it seems like he had been prepared for this all along.
That snow-white silk robe was prepared long before he encountered this hairy zombie. So the question is, who was it prepared for?
Following the clue of the snow-white silk robe, the origin of the golden silkworm gu is also highly suspicious.
Mei Shiyu once said that he found the Golden Silkworm Gu on the corpse of a young boy he discovered two hundred years ago at the foot of Wanren Peak of the Dao Xuan Sect. He later consulted people from the Yunlan Sect and refined the toxicity of the Golden Silkworm Gu, turning it into a good medicine.
Dao Xuan Sect, Wanren Mountain, cliff...
The boy's corpse.
Li Tingyun was very familiar with this scene. The memory flashed by in an instant, but he was certain that the boy was himself when he was young.
He had died once, falling off a cliff and dying. For some reason, he was holding Mei Shiyu's Qing Shuang sword. His blood stained the sword and, over the years, nurtured it into a sword spirit.
Mei Shiyu himself has acknowledged the origins of the spirit of the Azure Frost Sword.
So, what about the boy's body?
Where is his body?
Li Tingyun felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
Why would he have such a question? Why would he ask where his own body is? He's not dead, he's still alive, so where did his body come from?
Could it be that two hundred years ago, after he fell to his death, his soul left his body, and not long after, he was resurrected, and then he... came back to life?
He knew how he died.
But I don't know how I survived.
"Old Wang, how can a person be brought back to life after death?"
[Possession of a body, commonly known as "body snatching."]
"Anything else? Are there any other solutions?"
【…】
Why don't you go ask the King of Hell?
Just as Li Tingyun was about to unleash a torrent of curses, a sudden thought struck him: Damn it, how could he have forgotten about that?!
"Wang Laoliu, how is Xia Changfeng's biography written in the 'Creative Inspiration' section?"
"After he was tricked to death by Si Wuxie, his soul did not return to the underworld, but instead attached itself to a lantern. Many years later, it took human form..."
Yes, what you said is correct word for word, but that's all the information the system is displaying.
The system didn't explicitly state that this was a shortcut to resurrection, nor did it detail the origin and whereabouts of the lantern, nor did it describe the specific process of Xia Changfeng's resurrection...
All we know is the faint, useful information that his soul was able to take human form again thanks to the lantern.
"Knowing this is enough."
Li Tingyun said, "This is enough to prove that a person's soul can indeed regenerate a body, which means that my current body is very likely not the original one."
Is your body not the original one?
[Then where did your original body go?]
Li Tingyun said confidently, "No one knows the answer to this question except for Mei Shiyu."
【etc--】
If this body isn't the original one, then... what were you transformed from?
Li Tingyun thought for two seconds and said, "The Demon Abyss of the Netherworld, the Primordial Chaos."
【Huh? What does that mean?】
Li Tingyun said, "I have a guess now..."
"You said I have the Five Elements Chaos Spiritual Root, but my spiritual root was removed when I was very young."
"After that, I died again, and my soul was reattached to something else and took on human form."
"I can still use chaotic energy now, which has absolutely nothing to do with my innate chaotic spiritual root, because this body is newly born and not the original one."
"Moreover, even if it were the original body, its spiritual roots had already been dug out. If that original body still existed now, it shouldn't be able to mobilize the Chaos True Essence."
[Your current body is inherently a chaotic entity; I told you that a long time ago.]
This is a clear result provided by the system; there shouldn't be any problems.
"Yes, that's why I made a deduction that my soul was re-formed into a physical form in the Demon Abyss of the Underworld with the help of chaotic energy, thus becoming the 'Chaotic Body' that the system and you mentioned."
The Underworld Abyss contains a massive amount of chaotic primordial energy; it is essentially a pool of chaotic primordial energy.
If your current body is indeed formed from the primordial chaos energy itself, then...
[Every time you get injured, black smoke emanates from the wound, like air is leaking out. This strange reaction seems to make sense now.]
Li Tingyun said, "But this is still just speculation. I still have to go to the Demon Abyss. I must see with my own eyes what is hidden inside."
So... run, brothers!
[Marching westward, traversing hell, and reaching the Abyss of Demons, along the way, retrieve the protagonist's body and complete the main quest.]
Wang Laoliu never stopped talking about the mission itself.
He was like a wet nurse chasing after a child to feed him.
He knew perfectly well that with Li Tingyun's current strength, flattening the entire underworld wouldn't be a problem, so finding the protagonist's body wouldn't be difficult for him either.
The difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that the host does not take action, does not do anything, does not listen, and is just like a turtle chanting scriptures!
As expected, Li Tingyun ignored Wang Laoliu's urging for him to do the task again.
He said, "I'm going to find Mei Shiyu."
Why are you looking for them?
"First, the Three Lives Mirror is on him."
"Secondly, he will definitely go to the Ten Kings Palace to find the physical body of his 'good disciple' from his previous life."
"Third, everything I am is related to him."
Li Tingyun said in a deep voice, "Only he knows where the boy's body is, and only he can control the sword spirit of Qing Shuang."
