Chapter 149 Prototypes
Gu Yijin had told them once that there was a sect that was obsessed with black magic and tried to raise an army of vengeful spirits to do their bidding, but they couldn't, and in the end, they tried to create an archetype that was as powerful as an army of vengeful spirits, and after many attempts, they finally succeeded. She still remembered how serious Gu Yijin's expression was when she told them how difficult it was for her family to subdue those archetypes and destroy the sect, and apparently, at least fifty disciples and twenty masters died in the process of stopping the sect.
"Why do they have to make those prototypes? Did they just tame a vengeful spirit?" Fang Yanli asked with a puzzled look on her face. She might not know much about these sinful souls, but from what she saw, she was sure that this soul was not nearly as powerful as the ones they encountered when they came to the bazaar. The yin energy vibrated by that dark figure was enough to make her eyes jump to the sky. What on earth was Song Yan talking about?
"Don't be confused, that thing is not a perfect prototype, it's just a failed experiment, so its strength is not as strong as the Spirit of Vengeance." Song Yan said as he picked up the cloak that fell on the ground. It turned into a carbonated drink suitable for vampires and began to search around in his pocket. "Oops, that sticky thing went into my pocket."
He then pulled out the two red diamonds he had bought in front of the figure and threw them into the ring without even wiping them.
Fang Yanli was shocked by her series of actions and stared at Song Yan in amazement. "Did you just throw those dirty things into my house?"
"That's not your home."
"I live there, it's mine." Fang Yanli pouted, puffed out her cheeks, and opened her lips so wide that her face almost split in half. "Clean them before you throw those things into the ring, and take them out of the ring now. Otherwise I swear I will make all the souls living in them rebel against your tyranny. Are you listening to me?"
"Yes, yes... I heard it." Song Yan said as he took out two rubies and wiped them clean with the cloth of his robe, but this was not enough for Fang Yanli, so she had to walk around the yard. She looked around, looking for a park where she could clean the diamonds, still holding her robe in her hand.
Fang Yanli's attention was finally diverted. When she saw Song Yan and the others found a park and washed the red diamond, she continued the previous topic. "You said that thing is a suffering soul and the prototype of the Spirit of Vengeance, but why would someone go to so much trouble to choreograph songs and dances to create a prototype? Wouldn't it be easier to tame the Spirit of Vengeance instead of creating a prototype from the Spirit of Vengeance?" Scratch. "
Song Yan sat down on a long wooden bench in the park and searched through the pockets of her cloak. "You seem to have forgotten that not every soul master is as powerful as us Gu Masters. They can't just tame the martial spirits they want like taming animals. Even animals can't be tamed unless you are stronger than them. The reason why Gu Yijin was able to tame all the resentful spirits is because she is stronger than everyone else... But soul masters of her level only appear occasionally. Her Yang Qi is the purest and can suppress souls. The power to preserve or destroy is in her hands... Do you think any soul master has such strength?"
After thinking about it carefully, Fang Yanli shook her head. The only soul master she knew who could rival Gu Yijin was Song Yan, and because she was taught by Gu Yijin and had practiced Yin Qi for five hundred years, a normal person could not live like this. Not to mention finding a master like Gu Yijin, who was like a rare genius in her field.
"Wraiths are difficult to control, and unless the one taming them knows what they are doing, they can never be tamed... One small mistake, and the person might even lose their life. I bet the sect that tried to make this happen would lose a lot of people before they start creating prototypes... Ahaha!" She exclaimed, pulling out a small black book from the inner pocket of her robe, found what she was looking for, and threw the cloth away.
"Anyway," she continued as she glanced through the book. "If I explain it to you scientifically, the parts are easier to understand and control than the whole, aren't they? So this is how the sect practices. Instead of taming the entire vengeful spirit, they are cutting parts off from the weaker vengeful spirits that haven't yet turned vicious... They cut small pieces from the souls they can handle, and then weave them into something similar to what you saw before. Because the prototype souls are being controlled bit by bit, they're not in danger of losing their lives because whoever is behind it, he or she is still weaving the whole body... This prototype soul is always confusing because it's not made up of one soul, but several, and it doesn't know what it is or what's happening to it. It only knows that it needs to do its master's bidding, which is to take over a body and live in its place."
"what do you mean--"
"That thing on Xiaomei's bed, it's also a cursed soul... woven from the various souls of the sacrificed children, most likely because the master has been playing Yu Yize for a fool. It's not that he can't deal with the curse." , he can, but he doesn't want to, because he's searching for a new prototype, and that's only possible if he obtains a human shell. Maybe that's why the master didn't use gems or other non-living shells to deal with the curse, he not only wanted to make the curse manifest, but also to kill Xiaomei so that once the curse took her life, the thing he released could take over her body.
