Chapter 46: Soul Calling(1/2)

As the maid's voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was slowly opened.

A woman in her early thirties showed her face.

She has a round face and delicate facial features.

She was sitting in the carriage, looking at Jinyun with cold eyes.

"How did you know just now that that woman was bewitched?"

"Back to the eldest princess, I know how to read faces. She looks rich and has good food and clothing. She will not do anything like extorting money."

"Oh?" Gu Xizhi said in a faint voice, "You also figured out my identity from my appearance?"

"No! I have seen the carriage of the eldest princess' mansion before, and I recognized the eldest princess from the carriage."

"You are still sincere."

Gu Xizhi's voice was very weak, and no emotion could be heard.

She paused and then said: "Since you can tell that the woman just now was bewitched by looking at her face, you must also be able to tell other ways. I have a difficult matter and I want to ask your help. I don't know.

Are you willing?"

"I don't want to!"

Jin Yun met Gu Xizhi's eyes and refused without thinking.

The maid frowned and said displeasedly: "You are so brave, you dare to refuse Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"What about the eldest princess? I make money by telling fortunes. The eldest princess can't rely on your status, so just let me help in vain!"

"Of course! If you can help me solve this matter, I will certainly not miss your reward."

"Door service, add five taels of silver."

Hearing this, Gu Xizhi was a little surprised.

She didn't even say anything about inviting her to the mansion. How did she know?

Could it be that the maid told her?

Thinking about it, Gu Xizhi turned to look at the maid beside him, only to see the maid shake her head.

She frowned and saw that Jin Yun was really capable.

She looked back and nodded slightly.

"Can!"

Jin Yun got on the carriage and followed Gu Xizhi to the eldest princess's mansion.

Outside the eldest princess's mansion, there is a pair of stone lions, which look very majestic.

Jin Yun followed Gu Xizhi as he walked inside while looking around.

Soon, the two came to the door of a room.

Gu Xizhi opened the door and walked in.

Jin Yun followed her, a breath of death going straight into his nose.

"Jin Yun, come here and help me see if he... can he still wake up?"

Gu Xizhi's voice slowly reached his ears.

Jin Yun slowly stepped forward and came to the bed.

There was a man lying on the bed.

The man has pale skin, soft contours, and a somewhat bookish air.

His eyes were lightly closed, as if he was asleep.

But Jin Yun only glanced at it and frowned.

"He is missing two souls and one soul. Although he is not dead yet, he is not far away from death."

"You can see it!" Gu Xizhi was a little surprised, looking at Jin Yun with a little more expectation: "You just took one look and saw the problem. You are so powerful, you can definitely save him.

,Right?"

"I can help him summon the spirit, but I still need some things."

"Whatever you need, just ask!"

"I need bells, paper money, yellow talismans, cinnabar, and his favorite item."

Hearing this, Gu Xizhi frowned.

Bells, paper money, yellow talisman paper, and cinnabar are all easy to handle, but they are just his favorite items...

Seeing Gu Xizhi purse her lips and look troubled, Jin Yun asked, "Why, is there any problem?"

"No problem, I'll let someone prepare it right now!"

Gu Xizhi came to her senses, turned around and walked out.

His favorite item, it seems he can only try it with that one!

It was almost dusk before the people at the Princess Mansion got things ready.

Jin Yun arranged for everyone to arrange things properly, and then quickly drew a soul-calling talisman.

Finally, she turned to look at Gu Xizhi and said with a smile: "Princess, I'm a little hungry."

"Come here, prepare the food!"

"Thank you for the hospitality, princess!"

Jin Yun thanked him, turned around and walked towards the front hall.

After she finished her meal, the sky outside slowly became dark.

She stared at the sky outside the window until it was completely dark, then she got up and walked out.

Seeing that she finally moved, Gu Xizhi hurriedly followed her.

Arriving at the door of the Prince Consort's room, Jin Yun just stepped in, then turned around and said: "Don't leave too many people outside, just one or two. Princess, you stay outside too, what do I ask you to do?

Just do whatever you want. Remember, don’t stand in the wind.”

Gu Xi was stunned: "Why is this?"

"There are many people and the Yang energy is strong. The prince-in-law's soul has been away from the body for too long and is easily injured by the Yang energy. If the princess wants to do good for him, just do as I say."

"Okay, I understand!"

Gu Xizhi nodded slightly and dismissed the servants outside, leaving only his personal maid.

Jin Yun walked in slowly and put the soul-calling talisman on the prince's forehead.

She held the bell and muttered something.

After a while, she turned her head and looked outside the door.

"Burn the paper and place his favorite items next to the brazier. After putting them down, keep away from each other."

As her voice fell, the maid quickly took out the fire certificate, lit the paper money, and threw it into the brazier.

Gu Xizhi took out the handkerchief and opened it.

She glanced at the hairpin in the handkerchief, hesitated for a moment, and placed it next to the brazier.

Finally, the master and servant stepped aside and waited quietly.

Seeing the fire outside the room, Jin Yun said again: "The lonely ghosts passing by take people's money and help them to eliminate disasters. Now I need you to help me find this person's soul and bring him back."

There is no wind at night.

The paper ashes in the brazier suddenly started to boil.

When the maid saw this scene, her eyes widened in shock.

She touched her arm and found that there were goose bumps on her arm.

"Princess, do you feel that it has suddenly become very cold now?"

Gu Xizhi said nothing, her gaze kept falling on the small whirlwind in the brazier.

After a while, the whirlwind stopped.

The chill also quickly receded.

Will he come back?

He should come back!

Gu Xizhi's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and she was so nervous that she held her breath.

In the room, Jin Yun looked towards an open space.

"Look again, look further away!"

Time passes little by little.
