But whoever is born in the Three Realms and is born into the Six Realms can have a soul and a physical body. It's just that the soul is always there, but the physical body is not always there.

For example, the evil spirits of hell do not have a full physical body, but only a spirit body that is used to endure torture. As for those lonely souls and wild ghosts wandering on the Yellow Spring Road, or even wandering in the wilderness of the Three Realms, they have no body, only souls.

From this, it is not difficult to see that in fact, for any living being of the six realms, the soul is the most important thing, the real backbone. If the soul is lost, then the self is completely lost, but if the body is only lost, there may be salvation.

To put it more extremely, in fact, there are many evil cultivators who tend to make a living by taking away their lives, and often change their bodies with their powerful souls, which is simply commonplace. This also shows the importance of the soul and the status of the body to a living being.

In the final analysis, the physical body is just a shell, and it is not completely indispensable. But the soul cannot be lost, never lost.

Therefore, when a person dies, it means that a person's soul has entered reincarnation or is directly scattered. And everything in the underworld will only be related to the soul. If a person's body is dead, especially if a monk's body is broken, it is basically impossible to determine the death of the monk on the basis of these alone.

However, among the Three Realms, there are too many changes and uncertainties in the Six Realms. So there will be special circumstances and unpredictable exceptions to everything—as Xuanwu now calls "the body is dead."

Xuanwu's "body is dead" at this moment is completely different from the traditional sense of physical decay or ruin. Ordinary flesh is corrupted or broken, as long as the monk's soul is strong enough, he can change the body by taking it. However, the current Xuanwu is unable to do this at all.

Because the way Xuanwu chose to commit suicide was a rather extreme way, which was equivalent to beating himself and scattering his soul. In this way, his physical body was petrified and became a turtle back mountain and was put here by Rahu.

The original soul is gone, that is, the original capital of seizure has been lost. As for the soul obtained by Xuanwu's rebirth now, it is a soul that has been reunited based on his petrified body by chance. This kind of soul is equivalent to being completely tied to Xuanwu's body, and there is a faint taste of the body as the main body and the soul as the secondary. In this way, now Xuanwu's soul has to enter the original physical body, and it has lost the qualification to take away other physical bodies.

In this way, Xuanwu has now lost the ability to take away, and can only rely on the soul to re-enter the original body and be truly reborn. However, his current physical body may have been petrified for too long, and even experienced some trials and turns over the centuries, and has lost its vitality, and even his soul cannot reawaken it.

In this way, although Xuanwu now has a soul, it only has an empty soul. If the physical body refuses to merge his soul, he will never be able to unite his spirit and flesh and complete the true resurrection.

In other words, for Xuanwu now, his physical death is different from the physical death of ordinary monks. Ordinary monks die in the flesh, and they can also borrow corpses to resurrect their souls. But as soon as his physical body dies, he has no choice but to have a soul, and he is really dead.

This is the particularity of "the body is dead" in Xuanwu's mouth. His physical death, in turn, can completely negate the possibility of his resurrection. Even if his soul does not enter reincarnation, from now on, he can only be a lonely soul and a wild ghost without a physical body, unable to reproduce the glory and strength of the past Xuanwu.

Xuanwu said that "the body is dead" means, Huan Yin naturally knows. It's just that this situation is too rare and too special, so even Xuanwu himself never thought of it, how could Huan Yin think about it?

However, this is also reasonable. Because the reunion of Xuanwu's soul is an extremely rare thing, it is not too strange to think about the physical death at this moment.

Huan Yin was stunned for a long time, and finally his face became extremely ugly. Seeing that Xuanwu's return is at the moment, but it can't be realized, Huan Yin is not only sad for his old friend, but also unwilling for the whole thing.

At the end, Huan Yin finally said: "Old guy, I'm afraid you're mistaken, do you want to try it again?"

It's a pity that Xuanwu shook his head, and said with a more gloomy face: "Your Majesty, the old man has tried his best just now, and the old man's judgment of his own body ...... I'm afraid I can't go wrong. ”

Huan Yin fell silent, a little unsure of what to say. After a while, he squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "Is there really no way?"

Huan Yin is really unwilling to accept this fact, if there is really no way, then Xuanwu now has only one way left - to enter reincarnation and become a human again. After all, that's better than being a lonely ghost. However, that also means that Xuanwu is no longer there, Huan has been cut off by reincarnation since his fate with him, and one of his four protectors will never be able to return to his side.

"I'm afraid ......" Xuanwu shook his head and sighed, his face full of helplessness and despair. But halfway through the words, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he looked at Huan Yin and said, "Perhaps...... There's still a glimmer of hope!"

When Huan Yin heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Is there any way, you can say it quickly!"

Xuanwu said: "The old man was born in the North Sea and was nourished and raised by the water of the North Sea, which is the foundation of the old man, and the water of the North Sea is the source of the old man. If there is a drop of water from the North Sea that can go to the old man's body, maybe ...... Maybe the petrification of the old man's body can be broken, and the old man's dead body is not completely impossible to revive!"

"The water of the North Sea!" Huan Yin repeated, but then the hope in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he continued: "The North Sea has long been dry for I don't know how many thousands of years, and the North Sea has long been a part of Mount Sumeru, filled with mountain peaks. To this day, how can there be such a thing as the water of the North Sea?"

Xuanwu said: "Before the arrival of the king, the old man's soul wandered around in the south for eight days, and accidentally got a piece of news. It is said that in the near future, a very powerful team of traveling merchants will come to the south for eight days, and this team of traveling merchants will secretly carry out an underground auction in the south for eight days. At the auction, the grand finale is a drop of water from the North Sea!"

"The water of the North Sea is too important for the old man, even if it is not used to revive the body, it can make the old man's cultivation power skyrocket. Therefore, the old man paid great attention to this news and tried to dig deeper. As a result, the old man almost confirmed the authenticity of the news, and the old man also got this jade plate. This jade plaque is a token to participate in the auction, if you do not hold this jade plaque, you will not be allowed to enter the auction. ”

Speaking of which, Xuanwu had already handed a jade plaque that looked a little special to Huan Yin. Huan Yin took a look, then put it away, and said: "If there is such a thing, I will hold this jade plate and win the water of the North Sea for you." ”

Xuanwu said: "It is said that the team of traveling merchants who held the auction this time was not only extremely strong in itself, but also extremely cautious. Among them, the highest cultivation seemed to have reached the peak realm of the Four Origins. At the same time, in order to ensure that the stronger monks would not be allowed to disturb the situation or even rob them of their treasures, they carried out a strict selection of the people who sent the jade plaque. Monks who are stronger than the Four Sources Realm, they are not invited. ”

"If the old man sees it correctly, the king's cultivation has gone beyond the boundary. Therefore, the king needs to disguise himself, otherwise if he is seen to be too strong, it will be difficult to enter the auction hall even if he holds this jade slip. ”

Huan Yin smiled, thinking that since he came to the Heavenly Realm, what he had done the most was to hide his true identity and aura, so it should not be difficult to deceive the investigation of a team of traveling merchants, so he nodded.

Then, I heard Xuanwu say again: "Also, people who want to come to the same situation as the king do not necessarily do not exist, after all, the name of the water of the North Sea is too loud and too tempting. It's not good, that auction will eventually evolve into a situation that the traveling merchant team can't cope with at all, and it is extremely dangerous, and the king must take care of himself, and he must not hurt himself for the sake of the water of the North Sea. ”

Huan Yin nodded: "Don't worry, this matter will be left to me." ”
