Page Boy’s Yin & Yang Road - C20
I followed Wu Ji back to the camp and saw that the “I” beside the bonfire was still sleeping, still in the same position as when I first went to sleep.
This feeling was very strange!
If Wu Ji had not told me all of this, if I had not truly seen my own body, it would be truly be hard for me to believe, as my soul had actually left my body!
Wu Ji said that he wanted me to return quickly. The sky was about to brighten.
I tried to walk into my body, but it went straight through my flesh and didn’t go straight to my soul, as I thought it would!
Seeing this, he could not help but feel a little afraid, afraid that he would never be able to go back.
Wu Ji was also worried, obviously worried about this problem as well.
“What should we do? Am I going to die like this and not be able to go back? ” I asked anxiously.
Wu Ji did not speak further, he immediately took out another piece of Death Jade from his bag, and at the same time, took out a dagger and quickly drew something on the Death Jade.
I asked him what he wanted to do. He said that he would let my soul enter the Death Jade and then use the Death Jade as a medium to return my soul to my body.
“Will that work? Furthermore, why can’t I go back? Could it be that my physical body has already … “He’s already dead …”
At the end, my voice was so low that only I could hear it.
Wu Ji lifted his head and swept his eyes across me, then said: “Even if you really do die, I will still let you live again.”
At that time, I didn’t know how much weight Wu Ji’s words held, but I felt that under those circumstances, these words made me feel at ease. He had never thought that such words would become a reality one day!
Wu Ji finished carving the Death Jade very quickly. He told me not to be afraid and not to struggle, and to relax myself and leave everything to him.
I nodded, and for a moment it was as if my life were in his palm.
After that, Wu Ji clasped both his hands together and sealed the Death Jade in his palms. He looked at me with eyes as sharp as torches, and slowly chanted an incantation that I did not understand.
His voice was clearly not loud, but each word was like a bell chiming. When it went through my ears to my heart, I felt as if I was struck by lightning and I trembled in numbness.
I tried to relax as much as I could, and slowly I felt as light as a cloud, and then I couldn’t feel my body or any of my senses, as if I were only conscious.
When I opened my eyes again, the sky was bright!
Wu Ji stared at me worriedly and asked, “How do you feel?”
I stretched my neck and lifted my arms and legs. I was free to move, but the pain and fatigue from yesterday’s trek was stronger than before.
“Am I back? Pinch me. ” I sat up, unsure if I had really recovered my soul or if I was still floating around.
Wu Ji smiled and patted the back of my hand. “Is it time to show off and show off?
His actions were not light. The back of his hand was burning and even had a red mark on it. “You don’t have to be so cruel, do you?”
I sucked in a cold breath of pain, but looking at the red mark on the back of my hand, I knew that I had “come back to life” again.
Actually, I always thought that I was never afraid of life and death. In fact, after following my aunt for so many years, I had already taken life and death very lightly.
But when I experienced it myself, when death hovered over me, I realized that I had overestimated myself.
That feeling of being at a loss of what to do, compared to all the weird things that I had experienced before, is several times more terrifying!
Wu Ji pressed on my shoulder and said with a smile: “Foolish Nun Qing has luck.”
I snorted and slapped his hand away, but I couldn’t help laughing.
The feeling of reviving from the dead was like regaining a treasure. It was indeed rather refreshing.
Afterwards, I asked Wu Ji what happened yesterday, what was that Mountain Demon, why did he pull my soul away, and how did he discover us …
We are eating roasted rations and canned beef that we brought along, Wu Ji said as he ate.
After I fell asleep last night, Wu Ji was also a little sleepy. However, he was worried about some ferocious beasts or giant worms that would emerge again, so he didn’t dare to close his eyes. As a result, he meditated and memorized the scripture, intending to stay awake.
Afterwards, he felt that something was not right, because I always had a snoring habit and it was said that it was very loud. Usually, at home, Wu Ji who lived next door would hear it clearly, and he had even made fun of me more than once.
But last night, when I was originally snoring very well, I suddenly stopped playing and became extremely quiet. At the same time, he also felt that my aura had become a bit weaker.
Wu Ji went forward and checked, trying to wake me up, but no matter what method he used, I just could not move at all. According to him, if I lost my breath at that time, it would be the same as dying.
He knew that something was off, and was just about to try to think of a way out when he heard something far off in the distance that might have been Mountain Demon’s voice.
Mountain Demon was a spirit of nature that had been cultivated deep in the mountains and in the forests. It loved night criminals. Some places were called mountain monkeys, others were called mountain monsters, or mountain gods, and so on.
This was because it was extremely hard for Mountain Elf to train to the Phantom humanoid form. In fact, it was far more difficult than for an ordinary beast to train in it.
Therefore, they would come and go at night, searching for lonely humans. Using the unknown light rays, they would lure humans to their cultivation areas and then devour their souls to increase their Fa Li.
As I listened to Wu Ji’s words and thought back to last night, because I was still in a daze, and had not thought of any monster, I suddenly saw someone calling for me and I thought it was Wu Ji.
But the truth is, I’ve never been able to clearly see his face!
And what’s more, I asked him, “But how did this Mountain Demon pull the human soul out of the body? Furthermore, since he will eat me sooner or later, why must he drag me to the place where it cultivates? Wouldn’t it be easier to eat it after pulling out the soul? ”
Wu Ji rolled his eyes at him, saying that Mountain Elf would trick humans into training in a cave and use a demonic technique to separate their bodies and souls. If it wasn’t for the original body, it wouldn’t have been easy for external forces to forcefully separate the human soul from the physical body.
However, that thing must have seen him by the fire last night. That’s why it separated my body from my soul right now and even tricked my soul to follow him.
But after he finished speaking, Wu Ji suddenly frowned and fell silent, as he thought of something.
I took a sip of water and asked him what he was thinking.
Wu Ji said, if Mountain Demon used an evil technique to separate my body and soul, he would definitely be able to feel it. Unless …
As he said that, he suddenly looked at me very seriously. That gaze made my heart beat rapidly.
“Unless what?” I asked with a bit of a guilty conscience.
Instead of answering immediately, he asked me if I felt any discomfort before I saw the Mountain Demon last night.
I thought about it and shook my head and said no, I was just a little sleepy after being woken up from my sleep.
Wu Ji immediately shook his head and said that it was wrong!
His sudden reaction only made me more nervous, and I immediately asked him what he was thinking.
Wu Ji said that if Mountain Elf were to forcefully separate my soul from my body, whether it was my soul or my body, both of them would feel extremely uncomfortable. Even if the soul at that time didn’t know that it had left my body, when Mountain Elf did it, it would still feel as if it was being ripped apart in my dreams.
But I don’t feel anything.
I thought about what he had said. I thought about it for a while and seemed to understand what he meant.
“You’re saying that although my soul left my body, it wasn’t the Mountain Demon’s soul that did it, but my true body?” I boldly guessed, hoping that Wu Ji could say something to overturn my guess.
But to my disappointment, Wu Ji had a serious look on his face as he gave a shallow nod.
He speculated that for some reason, my soul had separated from my fleshly body, and Mountain Demon had taken advantage of that opportunity to trick me into leaving.
Previously, whether it was on the internet or in some ancient books, I have read about some incidents where the soul left the body.
However, there were also some people who could cultivate the Dao, and when necessary, they would leave their souls behind to do something.
Even when her aunt was investigating, she would do so.
But for me, this was the first time, under such strange circumstances.
I asked Wu Ji, could it be that I followed the cultivation method he taught me recently and accidentally caused my soul to leave my body when I was sleeping?
Wu Ji did not rule out the possibility.
But when he said it, there was something odd about his expression that made me feel extremely uneasy.
