040: The second brother was kidnapped
On the day of Chu Ye's wedding, there were many guests. Nan Li set up a magic circle in the house in advance and posted many talismans and seals secretly to prevent any changes.
Fortunately, even though there were many people in the house that day, from the wedding reception to the ceremony, everything went in an orderly manner.
During the final wedding ceremony, Chu Nanying was particularly happy. She went back to the yard to wash up, put her pillow on her pillow and fell asleep.
Nan Li was also a little tired, but at this moment Yuan Bao hurried in and said: "Miss, Prince Xie said he has something urgent to look for you."
She walked out, the moonlight was just right, and she could see that Xie Beihan's face was indeed full of anxiety.
"Sixth sister, your second brother is missing." As soon as Xie Beihan saw her, he hurriedly explained his purpose.
"Gone? What's going on?" Nan Li's heart trembled.
"He said he was going to get the wine, but I didn't see him come back for a long time, so I sent a boy to look for him, but he couldn't be found." Xie Beihan said, "Today your eldest brother got married, and there were many guests, so I didn't dare to look for him publicly.
people."
I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid that Chu Shuo will drink too much and fall into the lake.
He quickly came to find him because he knew that Nan Li could use his breath to find people.
Before he came, he also took a jade pendant from Chu Shuo's room.
Nan Li tried it with a paper crane and found that the crane just kept spinning in place.
"Sixth sister, there are times when you can't do it?" Xie Beihan blinked.
"It's not that I can't do it, it's because someone used a talisman to cover up my second brother's aura, so I don't know where the paper crane is going." Nan Li snapped her fingers, and the paper crane flew back into her hand.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, it seemed that the man in the dark finally couldn't help but take action.
It was getting late and almost all the guests had dispersed.
At this time, a breaking sound sounded.
Nan Li frowned and immediately pulled Xie Beihan away.
A hidden weapon was nailed to the wall.
Xie Beihan and Yuan Bao were so frightened that they both screamed.
Nan Li wanted to chase after that figure, but that person used a special skill and quickly blended into the night, making it impossible to catch up.
"Sixth sister, there is a note on the hidden weapon." Xie Beihan shouted.
He carefully took down the note.
Nan Li took it and took a look, and saw that it read: Take the remnant soul and go to the east of the city to trade for Chu Shuo alone at Haishi tonight.
Her heart sank, she really came here for the remnant soul.
She had waited for so long, thinking that this remnant soul was useless. Who knew that the person behind the scenes was so calm that they waited until today, the big day, to take action.
Xie Beihan couldn't understand and said: "What remnant soul?"
"Second brother's previously illuminated jade pendant was tampered with, and there were three residual souls inside." Nan Li said, "I want to go there."
"Do you really want to go alone? No, you don't know who the other party is and how many people there are. It's too dangerous." Xie Beihan stopped him.
"I have to go, second brother is waiting for me." Nan Li looked determined.
There were still two moments before Hai hour, so she couldn't afford to delay.
Xie Beihan said: "Then let's go our separate ways. I'll go find my father and Uncle Chu to help you."
Nan Li nodded, but Ye Siheng's face flashed in his mind. If he were here, she would definitely ask him for help without hesitation.
But he did not attend the banquet tonight.
Nan Li took off her complicated outer clothes and climbed over the wall to leave.
In the process of going to the east of the city, I used a belt to tie up my wide sleeves so as not to affect my movements.
But as soon as she entered the east boundary of the city, she found that the atmosphere was completely different.
A strange color flashed across her eyes. This person's Taoist skills were indeed profound, and he could actually create strange spaces with the help of talismans.
By then, even if her father and the Marquis of Zhenbei came with their soldiers, they would not be able to find her at all.
However, the strange space created by this man was just a passage. Nan Li walked through it and found a ruined temple in front of her.
When she walked out completely, the passage was closed and disappeared.
The moon and stars are sparse.
The cool breeze blows in the countryside.
Nan Li walked into the ruined temple. There were candles everywhere. With the candlelight, she could clearly see a person lying in front of the broken Buddha statue.
It was Chu Ye wearing new clothes.
He was breathing evenly and was obviously unconscious.
Nan Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was not in a hurry to go there.
"Sixth Miss, why don't you go over? Your second brother is right in front of you." On the right, a figure's voice was slightly hoarse, and you could tell that this person was already in his fifties or sixties.
He was wearing a black robe and a hood, covering most of his face.
Nan Li raised his eyebrows and said, "You have placed fire talismans around the Buddha statue. As soon as I pass by, the fire talismans will be triggered."
The man in black robe sneered a few times, "No wonder both junior brothers Li Zhengming were defeated by you. The sixth lady is indeed amazing. I have admired her for a long time."
Nan Li was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he took out the soul-locking bag containing the remaining soul and said: "Give it to the person with one hand, and the soul with the other."
"Sixth Miss, don't be anxious." The man in black robe said slowly, "I invite you here today because I want to ask you for a favor."
Nan Li's delicate face showed no unnecessary emotion, "Say."
"You must also know that these are a few strands of remnant souls. Miss Six, who doesn't know the ins and outs of the law, can you summon all the remnant souls?"
Nan Li opened the soul bag and smiled coldly: "Your Excellency can't summon all the souls, so you use my second brother to nourish the soul with his soul. Such an unnatural act, why do you think I can."
This remnant soul was shattered like this. She could summon the soul to repair it, but for a dead person, she should let him be reincarnated instead of forcibly bringing him back to the earth.
Acting against heaven is a taboo in Xuanmen.
The man in black robe walked out slowly, his eyes suddenly became sharper.
"Because Sixth Miss must be able, otherwise neither you nor Chu Shuo will be able to go back alive tonight."
Nan Li seemed to have expected it, and her smile deepened, "My second brother is missing a hair, and I will immediately crush the remaining soul inside."
Her hands gathered strength, her chin was slightly raised, and her tone was deep, proving that she was not trying to scare anyone.
The man in black robe did not panic: "If you crush it, I can still find a way to bring back these few remaining souls."
He raised his hand, and a group of archers walked in from outside the ruined temple, aiming at Nan Li and Chu Shuo.
"But if you don't obey, you two will be shot into a sieve. Miss Six, think about it carefully." The man in black robe continued.
Nan Li saw the gleaming arrow pointed at herself, and her face turned cold.
This person was indeed prepared. She was in a ruined temple and Chu Shuo was still unconscious. This situation was not good for her.
Seeing Nan Li's hesitation, the man in black robe sneered, "I'm counting to three. I hope Miss Six can make a correct decision."
Nan Li's expression remained the same.
"one!"
"two!"
Before the third sound sounded, Nan Li had already said: "Okay."
The man in black robe was very happy and raised his hand to ask the archer to retreat.
Nan Li took out a talisman seal, cleaned the ground, then took out the Star Pen, dipped it in some cinnabar, and slowly drew a huge soul-summoning talisman on the ground.
The man in black robe was astonished and got closer to see it clearly. He couldn't hide his excitement, "You...you are really amazing. This soul-summoning talisman has been lost for a long time, but you can actually draw it."
"It's not about how you draw it, it's about whether it can be used." Nan Li said.
