"An unforeseen event caused a treasure, the 'Mountain River Map', to shatter. After Tang Xuanzang died, he fell into the cycle of reincarnation and reincarnated. His disciples also reincarnated with the fragments of the 'Mountain River Map' and left one after another. Without the five Destined Sutra Seekers, the situation against the Devil Disaster became even worse, and eventually evolved into the current situation, "Li Jing said.
After hearing this, Shen Luo thought for a long time and asked,
"You should remember exactly when, where and how the Devil Disaster broke out, right?"
"I don't remember the details of the Devil Disaster, the process of the fall of the Celestial Court, and the situation of the Immortals and Buddhas dying in battle. I don't even remember who killed me," Li Jing shook his head and said.
"If that's the case, Senior, you didn't remember a single important thing?" Shen Luo was speechless.
"No, I have always remembered the most important thing," Li Jing immediately retorted.
"What is it?" Shen Luo's expression changed slightly and asked hurriedly.
"The Spirited Mountain Plan failed because Chi You, who was in the seal, had secretly separated five remnant souls from the seal before the Devil Disaster broke out. They all reincarnated at the same time and became the fuse of the Devil Disaster in the future," Li Jing frowned and said.
"When did the five remnant souls reincarnate?" Shen Luo pondered for a long time and asked.
This question was very important. If the five remnant souls reincarnated before the time in which he appeared, then when he returned, he only needed to inform the Tang government in advance and ask them to contact the Celestial Court to strengthen the seal together to prevent the remnant souls from reincarnating. Then, the Devil Disaster could be prevented.
"The Celestial Court still doesn't know how his remnant souls were separated and how they escaped from the seal. The specific time of their escape is also uncertain. However, according to the analysis after the event, it is very likely that it was the same time as the reincarnation of the five Destiny Sutra Seekers. "Li Jing's answer immediately made Shen Luo's heart turn cold.
It had been nearly a hundred years since the reincarnation of Tang Sanzang and the others. This meant that Chi You's five split souls had already reincarnated.
"Senior, do you know who the five remnant souls reincarnated for?" Shen Luo immediately asked.
He knew very well that if he could find out their identities and kill them in advance, he would be able to prevent the Devil Calamity from descending.
When Li Jing heard this, he frowned deeply, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "I can only think of two clues, and they belong to two of them. One seems to have reincarnated in Chang 'an City, and the other … seems to have reincarnated in the Western Regions. "
"What are their names? Who are they?" Shen Luo was delighted. He immediately asked.
"I only vaguely remember that the person in Chang 'an City … is a woman with a plum blossom mark on her wrist, and the person in the Western Regions seems to be a monk," Li Jing said.
"That's all? You don't even know their names? "Shen Luo asked.
"As I said, my remnant soul's memory is incomplete, and it is impossible for me to remember all the details. Moreover, the five reincarnated remnant souls did not have Chi You's memory before they were awakened, so they did not know who they were. When they were awakened, they would see their true selves and complete their mission. Therefore, before they did something unusual, no one would notice them, so there was not much information about them, "Li Jing said.
When Shen Luo heard this, he sighed in his heart. Chang 'an City was so big, and the population was more than ten million. It was easier said than done to find a person with a five-petal plum blossom mark on his wrist in this vast sea of people.
The Western Regions was thousands of miles away from here. Although the population was not as large as Chang 'an, the area was almost boundless. It was even more difficult to find a monk in this vast area.
"Regarding the news about Chi You, you can go to the East Sea Dragon Palace to find Dragon King Ao Guang. If he is still alive, maybe he can tell you something." Seeing Shen Luo lost in thought, Li Jing seemed to have thought of something and reminded him.
Shen Luo was depressed. Ao Hong had already said that the Dragon Palace had been attacked by demons. He did not know if he could still see the old Dragon King.
At this moment, Li Jing's expression suddenly changed. He chanted a few words softly, made a gesture with one hand, and pointed to the air. A golden light immediately burst out from his hand and hit the golden book suspended in the air.
The golden book trembled violently, and its surface lit up with a dazzling golden light. It turned into a huge golden projection that was dozens of feet long, and the names of people written in ancient seal characters appeared densely on it.
These people's names were twisted and distorted, as if they were living creatures. There were bursts of strong spiritual power fluctuations coming from them.
Shen Luo was surprised. Suddenly, a golden beam of light refracted from the golden book, like a light projecting down and enveloping him.
The moment the golden light fell on his body, Shen Luo only felt his whole body stiffen. The back of his head felt like it was hit by a blunt object, and there was a dull feeling.
The next moment, an extremely sharp and violent sound rang out in his mind.
"Ah …"
Shen Luo only felt a sharp pain coming from his Divine Soul. He felt as if his whole body was about to be torn apart. He could not help but hold his head and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
All along, Shen Luo had experienced all kinds of pain and thought that his tolerance for pain was good. However, he also felt that the pain today was unbearable.
Fortunately, this kind of pain only lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared.
Shen Luo slowly put down his hands. When he raised his head, he saw a little light slowly flying out from his glabella. It turned into a human-shaped shadow that was exactly the same as him and flew toward the sky.
The moment the human-shaped shadow left, Shen Luo felt that a part of his Divine Soul seemed to be separated, but that feeling was very subtle. There was still a vague connection between them.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Shen Luo asked.
Li Jing's expression did not change. He turned a deaf ear to Shen Luo's question. He just continued to make gestures and hit the golden book.
Shen Luo's human-shaped shadow flew into the sky and into the projection of the golden book in the sky. Under a flash of golden light, two ancient seal characters were condensed: "Shen Luo".
Once the characters were formed, the light on the golden book began to gradually converge. After a while, it returned to normal.
Li Jing raised his hand and waved. The golden book immediately flew back and fell into his hand.
"Although I can't give you the Fairy Book, your soul has already fused with the Heavenly Book. You have temporarily become the controller of this Heavenly Book. However, if you want to completely control the Heavenly Book, you will need to find the other Heavenly Book fragments," Li Jing said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo did not feel happy. Instead, he felt a little worried.
