What's a Xuan Nu?
Qin Xueqing couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this question.
Because she had already told Chen Xi many times.
Since her sister-in-law didn't want to answer, Qin Ruoying immediately explained, "Xuan Nu is the witch who presides over the Elysium Sacrificial Ceremony. The Sacrificial Ceremony is held once a year, similar to the ancestral worship during the New Year."
"What are the conditions? What are the requirements to become a Xuan Nu? "
"There are no special requirements. You have to be under the age of ten and automatically step down when you reach the age of thirty."
No requirements?
As long as you're of the right age?
Chen Xi pondered for a moment.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly asked, "What happens after you're chosen? Do you have to go through any ceremony before you become a Xuan Nu? "
"Ceremony?"
Qin Ruoying thought for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, "I can't remember clearly … I remember that on the day we became Xuan Nu, we entered the ancestral hall. After entering, the clan elder asked us to make a wish. He said that every Xuan Nu can make a wish …"
"Yes!"
Qin Xueqing also seemed to have thought of something at this time, and immediately echoed, "I remember that my wish at that time was to become a Martial Dao Master!"
"And then?"
"And then?"
Qin Xueqing was a little distressed. After thinking for a long time, she muttered, "And then I forgot …"
Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but become serious.
There was a problem …
When they became Xuan Nu, Qin Ruoying was eight years old, and Qin Xueqing was six years old.
Children at this age should be able to clearly remember some of the more important things.
How could she forget such a big thing as becoming the Empyrean Maiden?
Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Yongyan.
Qin Yongyan seemed to know what he wanted to ask, so he directly answered, "Xuan Nu make wishes in the ancestral hall. I can't go in, so I don't know what ceremony to hold before becoming a Xuan Nu."
Chen Xi frowned slightly.
After hesitating for a moment.
He then turned his head to Qin Ruoying and said very seriously, "Yingying, look at me and then do as I say."
"Okay."
Qin Ruoying was a little confused, but out of her trust in Chen Xi, she immediately nodded.
Then, at Chen Xi's request, she turned around and looked straight into Chen Xi's eyes.
"Relax …"
"Take a deep breath …"
"Spit it out …"
"Very good, Yingying, look into my eyes …"
The Soul Searching Technique has certain side effects. Even if it is minimal, Chen Xi can't use it on Qin Ruoying.
Although he can't search her soul, he can try to hypnotize Qin Ruoying, and then use hypnosis to dig out the memories buried in her subconscious.
Chen Xi has never learned hypnosis, but he has seen the illusion of the Tianxuan World, which is more advanced than hypnosis.
Qin Ruoying is the person in the world who trusts him the most besides Niannian, so in less than two minutes, Chen Xi has successfully hypnotized her.
"Yingying, think about it. When you were eight years old, you became a Xuan Nu, walked into the ancestral hall, made a wish, and then … what else did you do?"
The human consciousness has two basic functions, executive and supervisory. The executive function allows us to control and regulate our own behavior, and the supervisory function allows us to observe our own behavior.
Under normal circumstances, these two functions of the consciousness are connected, but hypnosis can sever the connection between the two functions.
Under hypnosis, the hypnotized person will enter a special state of consciousness. Their executive function will be normal, and they will be able to accept the hypnotist's orders, but the supervisory function will be lost.
When the supervisory function is lost, the brain will enter a subconscious state, and from there, dig out some forgotten things.
Qin Ruoying looked at Chen Xi with empty eyes.
After hearing Chen Xi's question, the expression on her face immediately showed some pain.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Ruoying murmured, "After making the wish … I saw a door … the door was talking to me … it called me over …"
Qin Ruoying's words were too vague, and Chen Xi didn't understand.
But his intuition told him that this is a very important part.
"The light disappeared … drank the soul-restoring soup … became a Xuan Nu …"
Soul-Restoring soup?
Soul?!
Chen Xi was shocked, and then he stood up from the chair with an ashen face.
He quickly formed a hand seal, and then gently pressed his right hand on Qin Ruoying's head.
Humans have three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. After a person dies, the seven physical souls will disperse, and then the heaven soul will ascend to heaven, the earth soul will enter the earth, and the life soul will enter the cycle of reincarnation.
The heaven soul is Yang, the earth soul is Yin, and the life soul is Yang.
Therefore, the earth soul is also called the Yin soul.
Chen Xi's soul was damaged, so even though he was with Qin Ruoying every day, he didn't realize it …
Qin Ruoying's soul was damaged.
The seven physical souls are all there, but one of the three spiritual souls is missing!
She lost her earth soul, so no wonder she couldn't find Qi!
One of the three spiritual souls is missing, so she can't be considered a complete person. How can she embark on the orthodox path of immortality?
At this thought, Chen Xi immediately went to Qin Xueqing's side.
He didn't say anything, and directly placed his hand on Qin Xueqing's head.
Qin Xueqing was stunned. Before she could react, Chen Xi had already retracted his hand and stood beside Qin Ruoying.
He lightly brushed his hand across Qin Ruoying's face, and then couldn't help but murmur, "No wonder you guys can't find Qi no matter what. So the price to become Xuan Nu is to give up the earth soul …"
To mortals, missing one of the three spiritual souls was not a fatal problem.
Missing one spiritual soul meant that the body was weak and sickly.
Missing two spiritual souls meant that the body was in a coma.
Missing three spiritual souls meant that the seven physical souls would disperse, and the person would die.
The so-called soul recovery soup was probably a prescription to allow Xuan Nu to live like a normal person.
Without the earth soul, Xuan Nu would never be able to become a necromancer. Even if she practiced martial arts, she would never be able to break through to the Controlled Dan realm.
As for cultivating, it was even more impossible.
Chen Xi woke Qin Ruoying up.
When she woke up, she immediately held her head, as if she had a headache.
Seeing this, Chen Xi gently rubbed her acupoints.
When she finally felt better, Chen Xi said softly, "Yingying, I have to go to the village again."
Qin Ruoying was a little confused, and didn't know what had happened.
When she heard that Chen Xi was going to the village, she immediately asked nervously, "Go to the village? Why? "
"It's nothing. Just rest well."
"Take good care of Niannian. Don't let her know that I'm gone."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back before the afternoon …"
Seeing Chen Xi's serious expression, Qin Ruoying could only nod and agree.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But at this time, Chen Xi had already turned and walked out of the main hall.
Qin Ruoying hurriedly got up and chased after him.
But when she walked out of the main hall, Chen Xi had already soared into the sky, disappearing from her sight in the blink of an eye.
Qin Ruoying stood outside the main hall, looking at the slightly gloomy sky.
After a long time.
She lowered her head and looked at the limestone fragments in the courtyard. A trace of worry flashed across her face.
…
Why did he go?
