Chapter 412 — Soul and Spirit as the Guide
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Shen Mu racked his brains. By Granny Zhu's reasoning, Xing'an's head, dantian, spine, neck, lungs, heart, and bowels would all have to be preserved — otherwise he would have to lodge his soul and spirit parasitically in whatever body he had seized.
And yet the Blind Elder and the others had joined hands to destroy Xing'an's heart, to flatten his skull, even to knock his spine loose from his body, and his soul and spirit had taken no great hurt from it; he could still mend his flesh.
"Which means that the head, dantian, spine, neck, lungs, heart, and bowels of Xing'an's original body are all still there. His soul and spirit remain in that original body, and only lodge in the bodies he steals when he has need of them! Then that original body of his must be hidden in..."
He and Granny Zhu looked at each other and blinked in unison. Xing'an's box!
The original body in which Xing'an kept his soul and spirit must be hidden inside that box.
The Butcher had split that box open — whether he had also slain Xing'an's original body, no one could say.
"So he does have a weakness after all."
Shen Mu steadied himself and thought, "Even if Grandpa Butcher cannot kill him, we need only see whether he turns up next time still carrying a box. That will prove whether my guess is right!"
Granny Zhu nodded. "If he appears again with that box on his back, it means his original body is hidden inside, and he is not invincible! Killing him will be far easier then!"
