"Just...just...at the pond last night..." Liu Laoguai stammered.
I didn't bother to ask any more questions and hurriedly ran to the pond.
Ten minutes later, Liu Laoguai and I arrived at the pond. From a distance, we saw a corpse lying on the ground and a young man standing next to him. He was holding a white cloth in his hands to shield the corpse from the sun.
When I came to the corpse, I bent down and took a look. It was really the goddess. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was wide open. There was no blood on her old face. It seemed that she had seen something terrifying before she died, and her whole body
It was already soaked from top to bottom.
"The body was fished out of the water?"
I turned around and asked Liu Laoguai.
"Yes, it was seen by Dabao..."
I raised my head and glanced at the young man holding the white cloth in his hand, and knew that he was the Dabao Liu Laoguai mentioned. This young man was a few years younger than me. Although I was not familiar with him, I still knew him.
Seeing me looking at him, Dabao said nervously:
"I...I saw it by the pond in the morning, when the body of the goddess was floating on the water..."
I nodded thoughtfully, looked down at the body, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a few blue-black handprints on the goddess's neck. I pulled her collar down a little, and I saw a shocking scene.
.
There were countless blue and black finger prints on her neck, surrounding her entire neck. It felt like countless hands were grabbing her neck at the same time until she was strangled to death!
I suddenly thought of those halflings.
"Where are Third Aunt and Lao Yutou?!" I asked Liu Laoguai impatiently.
"Your third aunt is still at home. She just suffered some stimulation and is a little confused. That old man... no... is missing..."
"Gone?!"
I looked at him blankly and asked in disbelief:
"You mean Lao Yutou is also missing?"
"But... it's possible..."
My heart sank. No matter how you say it, Lao Yutou is a demon with hundreds of years of Taoism. How could he...
No, there must be something wrong here!
"Laoguai, arrange for someone to temporarily preserve the body of the goddess. I can still use it. Now go to the third aunt's house first!"
A few minutes later, Laoguai and I arrived at the third aunt's house. Liu Sanbo's mourning hall had just been evacuated, and the house seemed a bit messy.
The third aunt was lying upright on the bed. I saw that her eyelids and lips were black and blue, her eyes were dilated, and she was mumbling something unknown. This was obviously a sign of evil.
"After discovering the body of the goddess in the morning, we rushed here as soon as possible, and we saw that she had become like this. Liu San'er had just left a few days ago, and the child was not with her either. Alas...it's quite pitiful...
"
Liu Laoguai sighed.
At this time, the third aunt was still mumbling something. I put my ear to her mouth, but I could only vaguely hear a few words:
"It's back...it's all back..."
"Who's back?"
I asked the third aunt in a low voice, but she just kept repeating those words and couldn't answer my question at all.
Seeing her look like this, I already had a guess in my mind, so I lit two resentment-resolving charms and patted her shoulders lightly...
"Puff...puff" sounded twice, and all the resentment-resolving talismans were extinguished.
I frowned, and sure enough, not only the two life lamps on the third aunt's shoulders were extinguished, but even her soul was incomplete. She was now in a daze, and she had obviously lost the human soul among the three souls of heaven, earth, and human beings!
The human soul controls the mind, and once it is lost, it will cause a state of insanity.
This is just like when a person is frightened, if it is serious, he will become stupid. What we often call being stimulated or frightened is actually the human soul among the three souls lost.
If I want to restore the third aunt's sanity, I must find her human soul and restore her three souls to integrity. But this is really difficult for me. Before, whether I was summoning souls or chasing souls, I had nothing to do.
For a complete soul...
I closed my eyes and pondered for a moment, and a medium-to-high-range spell from the wooden box notes came to mind. Although it can recover scattered souls, I have never used it...
I thought about it, but I still have to give it a try!
"Laoguai, send all the irrelevant people away, close the doors and windows and draw the curtains."
"You...what are you going to do?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just do as you are told!" I said without any doubt.
I slowly helped the third aunt out of bed, let her sit on the ground against the edge of the bed, and covered her head with a red cloth. The red cloth fell down and completely covered her face. Then I took out three more coins from my backpack.
Copper coins were placed flat on her shoulders and on top of her head.
At this time, Liu Laoguai had closed the doors and windows and drawn the curtains, and the house fell into darkness.
I lit two incense candles and placed them on the ground on both sides of Third Aunt's body, and the house was suddenly enveloped in a faint red candlelight.
I turned to the stunned Liu Laoguai and said:
"Stand aside and don't move. No matter what you see or hear for a while, don't say anything!"
"Oh, I know...I know..."
Liu Laoguai's voice was weak when he spoke, and I noticed that there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. For safety reasons, I asked him to take a pill to stabilize the yang energy in his body to avoid an accident.
After preparing all this, I sat cross-legged opposite my third aunt. I don't know why, but looking at her head covered in red cloth, I actually became a little nervous.
After a short pause, I took a deep breath, cut the tip of my index finger through the red cloth and touched the center of the third aunt's eyebrows, and said in my mouth:
"When people turn around, they see the Holy Emperor coming out; when they turn down, they see copper coins from the Ming Dynasty sparse; stars in the sky travel in both directions and directions; the ghosts and gods of the Five Dynasties emperors and coins cry!"
After reciting the incantation, I immediately let go of the hand touching her eyebrows, formed a seal with both hands, and shouted:
"Three souls and seven souls return to one place! Break!"
As the word "break" came out, the three copper coins on the shoulders and head of the third aunt suddenly made a clear buzzer, and then stood up on their own. This was the first time I had seen this situation, and I was shocked.
Endless.
At the same time, the corners of the red cloth covering the third aunt's head suddenly and slowly swayed. My heart trembled, and I couldn't help but look intently. The red cloth had been completely unfolded upwards, and the third aunt's dull face once again appeared.
Appear in front of me...
Only this time, the two eyes in her eye sockets actually lost their white kernels and turned completely into two black holes...
