Chapter 160, the core of consciousness is the soul
The record of the animal skin booklet that Luo Tian received was not detailed, and many of them were not mentioned, but it was obvious that the witch clan's son in front of him knew something that Luo Tian didn't know.
"The ancient witch soul will appear at night, what do you know?" Luo Tian asked.
The other party looked at Luo Tian instead, as if Luo Tian should know these things, but after a moment, he said: "When the secret realm of the treasure house is shrouded in darkness, the soul of the ancient witches will appear from the shadows and then attack creatures. These black monsters are said to be monsters that transformed their consciousness with a special ritual. They have only part of their strength, but they have gained very special abilities. It is said that they can take away the souls of the creatures."
The last sentence made Luo Tian suddenly think of the witch clan's reckless man who had faced the monster surrounded by black smoke in the dark night. What is certain is that the monster was the soul of the ancient witch. At that time, the reckless man had not even had time to make any counterattack and was killed by the soul of the ancient witch. The way he killed was very strange. This person's consciousness was actually pulled out of his body and his body turned into an empty shell.
"Does something like soul exist?" Luo Tian asked.
He did not believe in the existence of the soul. This illusory thing should only exist in mythological stories. Nowadays, the world generally believes that humans are formed by the fusion of consciousness and physical body. The legendary soul is actually the misunderstanding of certain magics by the people, that is, the soul does not exist. It is just a misunderstanding formed by the light and shadow of magic, plus the celestial phenomena or changes in the surrounding environment at that time. If you have to say it, the consciousness in the living body may be the so-called soul in people's eyes.
"Our witch clan believes that souls exist." When talking about this topic, the witch clan in front of him suddenly became very serious.
"What is the soul?" Luo Tian asked again.
"The elders in our clan say that the soul is the most core part of the consciousness of living creatures. Because of the existence of the soul, the consciousness of living creatures is independent and exists. In other words, the center of the consciousness of living creatures is actually controlled by the soul, and the soul of the ancient witch can remove the soul of living creatures, and then the consciousness of living creatures will be taken away or even swallowed by them. Any master, even the elders of our clan, warn us not to face the soul of ancient witches in the dark, because there is no chance of winning at all, and if you are discovered, you will run away as soon as possible."
What this person said was a nose and eyes, which even made Luo Tian start to think unconsciously about whether there was such a soul. If so, does it mean that the legendary ghosts and even ghosts are real. If the ghosts are real, then the underworld and even the cycle of reincarnation are not myths and legends, but also exist. This will greatly subvert Luo Tian’s understanding of the world. In the past, Luo Tian’s view of the universe was upward, and the human world was at the bottom, followed by the third heaven, followed by the sixth heaven and the ninth heaven. Outside the nine heavens, it was separated from the scope of this universe. Outside the nine heavens is the real world, but if there is such a thing as the underworld, is it underground or exist in some special kingdoms?
But these have little to do with Luo Tian. He is now out and rushed to the treasure house and may still get the treasure before others. But if he waits until tomorrow morning, safety will be safe, but I am afraid that someone has already taken the lead. Should he bet this?
Seeing the sunset gradually set outside, the sky became darker and the sun was about to set, Luo Tian suddenly grabbed the witch clan's son in front of him and shouted: "You will take me to the treasure house now."
"Now, haven't you heard what I said? It's going to be dark soon. When we are halfway through the journey, it's probably going to be completely dark. What if we meet the ancient witch soul at that time, I don't want to die." The witch clan's son shouted at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian fought this way. He believed that his strength could avoid the soul of the ancient witch. Even if he encountered it, he might not be able to fight with his means. If the treasure house was taken first by others, he would have to kill people to seize the treasure. At that time, it would inevitably lead to a war. The daytime battle may very likely lead to siege by other witch clans. In the night battle with the soul of the ancient witch clan, because the children of the witch clans feared the soul of the ancient witch and the night, they would not dare to show up. Therefore, if they had to take action, Luo Tian would rather choose in the darkness.
"I said I will take me to the treasure house now. If you talk too much, the sky will be completely dark. At least the sunset is still there. If you refuse, I don't mind letting you suffer a little." Luo Tian's threatening words still worked. The guy had to stand up and walk out of the temporarily hiding place. The two of them walked forward in the sunset.
I don’t know if it was because it rained earlier, the sky seemed to be getting darker faster. In less than a stick of incense, the sky was completely dark. The stars and moonlight climbed to the sky, and the sky seemed particularly bright. The wet ground emitted fresh air, but the witch clan's children who led the way always looked around vigilantly, afraid that the soul of the ancient witch would appear from a corner.
"I remember walking a little further is the treasure house I saw. It seems that no one has been here yet." He spoke to Luo Tian, and gradually approaching the destination, the person's tense mental state slowly relaxed.
Luo Tian nodded, but when he turned a corner in front of this person, he suddenly stopped. Luo Tian stood behind him and saw him stopping, and asked strangely: "Why did you stop?"
However, he saw that the man's shoulders were trembling slightly, and his condition seemed to be something wrong. The next moment, he retreated unconsciously, and even hit Luo Tian's body. Luo Tian saw something was wrong. He looked forward and found that a short black monster was standing not far from the person. He was very short and roughly the same as the wild cat on the road, but his appearance was human-like. But this was not the reason why this witch clan's children was scared. The real reason was that this short wild cat-like guy looked like an ancient witch soul. Although his body was different from the ancient witch soul that Luo Tian saw before, the black smoke surrounding his body and the black spiritual energy covering the surface of his body like black mud were all the same.
"It's over, we're over, I said I can't come out at night. If this guy is targeted, our souls will definitely be taken away." The children of the Witch clan were so scared that they almost hid their heads.
Luo Tian pushed him aside and said, "Calm down, the faster you die."
He really squatted aside with his head in his arms, released his spiritual energy to protect himself, but he was still trembling with fear. Luo Tian looked at the ancient witch soul in front of him. He was standing in front of him, but Luo Tian's divine power had no sense of it at all, just as if this guy was a ball of air appearing in front of Luo Tian.
The ancient witch soul raised his head and looked at Luo Tian, then looked at the witch clan's children squatting in the spiritual shield aside, and then slowly moved their bodies and began to walk towards the witch clan's children. Luo Tian saw its intention, probably because he could see that this person was weaker than Luo Tian, so he wanted to deal with the weak side first, but he had not yet reached the treasure house and needed this guy to lead the way later. Now he cannot let this person die for the time being, so Luo Tian crossed a step between this person and the ancient witch soul. The ancient witch soul raised his head and stared at Luo Tian, which was a pair of strange gazes. Luo Tian seemed to be looking at a puppet. For some reason, when Luo Tian looked at the ancient witch soul, it seemed that he saw a miserable figure bound by heavy darkness, as if he was bound by the soul.
This feeling is very strange, because Luo Tian did not believe that there was a soul, but he saw something similar to a soul. The figure seemed to be the soul of the ancient witch soul during his lifetime. He was trapped by some terrible force and could not escape and endured the torture of endless years.
