Chapter 226 Asking the Spirit
Chu Xiaomu didn't know the exact direction to the Nanding Army camp, so he had to go down the mountain first and head west on the grassland. After finding the official road to Bicheng, he planned to walk north along the road to find the camp not far from the official road. He thought that although this would take some detours, it would not take too much time in the spiritual realm.
After a short while, they found the official road to Bicheng and then turned north.
He ran incredibly fast in the spirit realm, without feeling tired at all. However, the farther he was from his physical body, the more he felt his spirit body floating and difficult to control, as if he had a strange feeling of melting into the spirit realm. He remembered that Uncle Huai once said that if the spirit body became erratic and difficult to control, then he could no longer stay in the spirit realm. However, now that things had come to this, how could he give up halfway? Even if it was harmful to his body, he could not care less.
Fortunately, after a while, he finally reached the Nanding Army camp, and did not feel any discomfort for the time being. After a few turns, he arrived at Zhou Bo's central army camp.
After entering the tent, I walked straight to Jinglan's tent, and saw a cluster of slightly brighter colored lights rippling and flowing on her bed, which was extremely beautiful. In the spiritual realm, no living creatures could be seen, so I guessed that Jinglan was lying on it to rest.
Although this ball of colorful light was not very bright, it was lively and agile, completely different from the dim light that Bai Yixing had when he was lying on the bed. This was because one of them was full of vitality, and the other was almost exhausted, and was on the verge of death. Chu Xiaomu naturally did not understand this principle.
Chu Xiaomu did not dare to delay and walked straight to Jinglan's bedside. He stretched his hands into the colorful light and asked about the spirit using the method taught by Uncle Huai.
The spirit-asking technique seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. Uncle Huai said, "No need to think, just rely on your intuition." This sentence alone is not something that everyone can do. Fortunately, when Chu Xiaomu first asked the spirit to find the trace on Baihua Island, he had practiced it many times and finally found the trace successfully. Therefore, this step was easily achieved.
What is more difficult is that when asking spirits, one needs to use one's own spirit as the center, and get responses from other spirits through spiritual resonance, and finally find the answer to the question. Chu Xiaomu has never succeeded in this step. However, when he went to visit Uncle Huai again after coming down from Baihua Peak, he asked him seriously, and Uncle Huai also explained it to him in detail. He felt that he had understood 30% to 40%.
However, thinking is one thing, and doing is another. Although he has completely entered the state of no thoughts and no self, relying entirely on his mind and intuition to explore and inquire in the spiritual realm, he only feels that there is nothing around him, no images, no sounds, no spirits... nothing, and in this state, it is impossible to achieve spiritual resonance and spiritual response.
Fortunately, Chu Xiaomu was strong and energetic, and he had a determination not to give up easily. He tried again and again, not caring how much time had passed.
Suddenly, a strange voice was heard saying, "What is this person doing?"
Another voice said, "I don't know, it looks weird..."
"It's going to take a long time to get this place back to normal after making such a mess."
"Go and tell him to stop. It would be terrible if he attracts evil spirits."
"He's so weird, I don't dare go over there, you go..."
"I don't dare either. He smells so bad..."
"...Hey, stop now..." a voice finally mustered up the courage to shout.
Chu Xiaomu was so disturbed by the noise that he had to stop and looked back. He saw more than a dozen strange-looking spirits standing far behind him. Some looked like deer, some like rabbits, some like mice, birds, insects, and so on. There were also dozens of fist-sized light spots surrounding the more than ten spirits. No one knew what they were.
Chu Xiaomu was delighted. Although he had not achieved spiritual resonance, he had attracted so many spirits. This was considered to be somewhat effective. Besides, these small animals and flowers and plants were definitely not evil spirits. He quickly asked, "I'm looking for a medicinal herb for this girl. Does anyone know?"
A spirit said, "Perhaps you know what disease he has?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "It's a leg disease. I suddenly couldn't walk more than a year ago."
The spirit said, "You people are the strangest. You have complete spirits, but you are always prone to loss."
Chu Xiaomu asked: "What spiritual body is missing?"
"A defect is a defect. Is that so hard to understand? If the spirit is defective, then it will become a disease when it reaches the physical body."
"I see. Could you please take a look at what medicine should I use to treat it?"
The spirit remained silent, and the other said, "Your spirit smells weird and scary, so he didn't dare to go over there."
"Then I'll stand further away." After saying that, he walked away and stood aside.
The spirit from before said, "Okay, let me take a look." Then it slipped out from the group of spirits and turned out to be a mouse.
Shu Ling slid to the bed where Jinglan lay, stretched out his nose and sniffed her vigorously, and finally said: "It's really strange, I can't see anything."
The rabbit spirit said, "Our tribe rarely gets sick. Let me take a look." It also stretched out its nose to sniff, and even stuck out its tongue to lick Jinglan's calf a few times, but couldn't see any clues.
Then various strange spirits such as deer spirits and bird spirits came up to the bed one by one to check Jinglan's condition, but unfortunately they all just sighed helplessly and none of them could see any clues.
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and asked: "What should we do? She is so young, she can't just sit and lie like this for the rest of her life, right?"
The rat spirit thought for a while and said, "We have no choice but to tell more spirits and ask them to look for it together. Some of them will know the answer." The other spirits also agreed, saying that this was the only feasible method.
Chu Xiaomu suddenly realized, asking the spirits, asking the spirits, isn't this just asking the spirits? Although it's not as magical as what Old Huai did, it's the same, and it's enough to find what you're asking. He bowed to the spirits and said, "Thank you so much. If there's anything I can do for you, Chu Xiaomu will do his best."
All the spirits were silent. Suddenly, a bird spirit with a long tail said, "There is something I need help with, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to help."
The spirits hurriedly said, "Don't mention his name. It would be terrible if he found out..."
Chu Xiaomu was about to ask what was going on when the spiritual realm suddenly began to darken. A black cloud quickly floated down from mid-air and rushed towards the smaller spirits.
The spirits shouted, "It's coming, it's coming, everyone run away..." and began to run around desperately.
Chu Xiaomu was able to see the various things in the spiritual realm clearly, and saw a strange-looking big red bird flying down from the sky.
