Chapter 96 A Book? (2/2)
”He doesn't mean you were holding a book,” Liu Shuai rubbed his head. He had probably never seen someone more stupid than Zhang Quan, ”he means that your right hand is a book!”
”What? Hehe, brother, what are you talking about?” Qili felt that Liu Shuai was joking.
”Liu Shuai,” Hao Ning seemed to understand a little as he asked tentatively, ”do you mean that the right hand of Qili's soul has turned into a book?”
”Yes,” Liu Shuai nodded, and then looked at the imprint on the wall, ”but to be exact, it did not turn into a book, but —”
Liu Shuai did not dare to continue.
”Coward.” Zhang Quan shook his head. ”Young man, you should be braver.” After he finished speaking, he walked forward and pointed at Qili's right hand on the wall as if he was giving a presentation, ”your colleague's right arm, of course, the right arm of his soul, seemed to be cut off by someone and it was grafted into a book or the soul of a book — —”
”Damn!” Hao Ning's eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Quan who was dressed in his overalls talking, then he looked at Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan who were nodding their heads, ”is there such technique? Souls can be cut off?”
”Don't interrupt. I used to think that was impossible, ”Liu Shuai sighed as he looked at the imprint on the wall, then turned to ask Zhang Quan, ”you taught me the theory of three souls and seven spirits and the theory of Yin-Yang. However, I've never heard of a theory of soul cutting.”
”That the theory did not exist does not mean that it does not exist now.” Zhang Quan blinked his eyes, ”In the past, there was no such thing as stealing the power of the Immortal Granting Decree and create new gods, right?” As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Yuan who blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment.
”Uh,” Liu Shuai choked and waved his hand. ”Don't say irrelevant things. Just tell us what you know.”
”You brat...” Zhang Quan shook his head as he looked at Liu Shuai and then laughed. ”Fine. No records said that external forces could cut souls until I met your colleague.”
”Excuse me,” Hao Ning said as he interrupted Zhang Quan once again, ”you said that there were no records saying that external forces could cut souls. Do you mean that non-external forces can cut souls?”
”You got it. You are smarter than him.” Zhang Quan pointed at Liu Shuai and chuckled, while Liu Shuai deliberately looked at the wall to ignore Zhang Quan. ”According to the records in the past, souls can only be cut off under certain circumstances by their own subjective will. For example, if a person's hand is broken, his soul will also subconsciously think that the hand is broken after a long period of adaptation. After the person dies, the hand of the soul will not exist. However, this situation is not absolute. It happened more to ancient eunuchs. ”
”Eunuchs?” The few of them asked curiously. Liu Shuai also turned his head to look at Zhang Quan. It was apparent that Zhang Quan did not teach him these things back then.
”Yes,” Zhang Quan looked at the crowd triumphantly, ”you all have heard that many eunuchs must have someone bury themselves with their 'treasures' after they died, right? The truth is that in their decades of life, their souls subconsciously believed that they were completely separated from their dicks, so after they died, their souls were also incomplete. What do you think the nether world was for? Do they only do the second-hand intermediary job of the soul's reincarnation? ”
”Poor people!” Qili sighed. ”They can't even be complete after they died.”
”You should feel pity of yourself instead.” Zhang Quan looked at Qili and sneered. Without waiting for Qili to ask, he continued, ”Apart from the fact that one's subjective consciousness cuts his soul, there has never been another case in which a soul can be cut. On the one hand, this is not a common phenomenon; on the other hand, no one has done any research on this.”
”No one has done any research on this?” Hao Ning seemed to have caught onto something, but he could not figure it out for a moment.
”That's right,” Zhang Quan continued to speak while shaking his head after he heard Hao Ning. ”It's just like how ancient Chinese medicine's theory has always been about Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and the coordination of the whole human body. It doesn't go in the direction of anatomy. Even though some novels mentioned the idea of performing a craniotomy on Cao Cao's head, they didn't represent the mainstream.”
