"It's time to end." Xiaolan raised the key to Shadow.
Finally seeing the last relic, the shadow seemed to calm down.
"it's over."
This time, Shadow reached out and gently took the key.
The shadow at this time was no longer translucent. The tired and haggard middle-aged man hunched his shoulders, stared at the key in his hand for a while, and then clenched it tightly.
"Actually, I've been making decisions about what I'm going to do after it's complete."
"I want to be reincarnated, and I want to be with my wife and children."
"But now I probably won't have the chance to be reincarnated as a human being. My wife and children are all good people and they must have left."
"It's not interesting for me to be alone."
Shadow raised his head and smiled sadly at Xiaolan.
"I know I made a mistake, and this is the only way I can make up for it. If I reincarnate, Tiezhu's luck will never come back, so I still... I still have to disappear, I don't know what words to use, little girl, thank you
You, I have been making decisions all the way you helped me. You hate me very much, but you are still helping me. I am sorry for you, just like I am sorry for Tie Zhu. I have done a lot of bad things, and I am still like this even after death.
Selfish, I'm really disgusting, this is the only way... this is the only way..."
Xiaolan probably understood what he meant, and his words made Xiaolan feel a little sympathetic to him.
"Well...does it have to be like this? Is there no other solution?"
The Taoist priest arrived with Bao Mu and stood aside watching the two of them.
Xiaolan looked at the rabbit.
"The rabbit said that all the stolen luck belongs to the shadow. If the shadow is reincarnated, the luck will be taken away directly. If you want the luck to return to the owner, the only way is to return the shadow." The Taoist priest said.
Xiaolan nodded and turned to look at Shadow, "You don't have to disappear, just give Tiezhu's luck back."
"But... I don't know how to get my luck back."
Xiaolan held up her chin and thought hard for a few seconds, then turned around and asked Sister Fang for an empty bottle.
"You put yourself in the bottle, and we will take you out to find Wu Ren to see if she can do anything."
"Squeak!—Squeak!—"
The rabbit suddenly screamed in pain and convulsed slightly in the Taoist priest's arms.
"Lingdu will be sealed soon, we have to make a decision quickly!" Baomu shouted.
Xiaolan grabbed the still hesitating Shadow and stuffed it directly into the small bottle. Shadow was forced to give up his human form and squat in the bottle in the form of a spirit.
The golden light that enveloped the community began to shine.
Sister Fang and Axiu showed expressions of great surprise.
Xiaolan grabbed the bottle, Taoist Master held the rabbit, and the three of them took advantage of the last few seconds before Lingdu was sealed and rushed out of the community through the back door.
Spiritual transition is completed.
Sparkling shimmers of light roll on the surface of the golden cover. Through the cover, you can see white air masses floating in the sky from time to time in the community and disappearing in mid-air.
Is this the Duling Spirit?
The rabbit purred and hummed, curled up in the Taoist priest's arms and trembled non-stop.
The three of them looked at the rumored spirit-transferring ceremony with fear.
The shadow in the bottle turned into a small one and sat calmly at the bottom of the bottle.
"Old Xu! Old Xu, save me, Old Xu!"
"Little sister, why are you running away? Be careful!"
Two shouts rang out from around the corner. Several people looked and saw Jasmine and Pineapple, one in front and one behind, running towards here.
After running away for so long, she finally met someone. From a distance, Jasmine thought it was her own reinforcements, but when she took a closer look, she stood still.
Jasmine looked at the three people in front of her, then turned to look at Pineapple, who was chasing behind her.
What evil have you done?
"Hey, you guys are out, have you succeeded?" Pineapple asked breathlessly.
Xiaolan waved the bottle in her hand at the pineapple.
"Xie Sui!" Jasmine's eyes widened when she saw the water bottle and the rabbit, and she was furious, "Are you crazy? How dare you take Xie Sui out of the Spiritual Detective!"
"It is indeed extraordinary that you have learned how to detect spirits at a young age, but your seniors will not have taught you what kind of magic circle is used to detect spirits," the Taoist Master said seriously, "It's just a matter of course.
Do you know how much evil will be left behind by using Spiritual Detective in such a large area? Not to mention the dead people who are still wandering in the world, how many objects have cultivated pure weapon spirits during the years of coexisting with human beings.
The field magic circle has wiped out all spiritual energy. This is massacre, don’t you understand?"
It was rare to hear Taoist Master suppressing his anger in such a tone, and Xiaolan had never thought about it from this perspective. From this point of view, although this spirit-traveling detective was very strong, it was indeed very cruel.
"They all died because of this evil spirit. You rescued the evil spirit and left your pure souls in the spirit ferry to wait for death. What qualifications do you have to accuse me?"
Jasmine sneered, "If you don't hand over Xie Sui, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jasmine raised the spirit-locking whip in her left hand and waved it in the air. A strong wind swept towards them. The three people except Xiaolan were unprepared and were directly bounced away by the wind.
The wind enveloped Jasmine and Xiaolan in the center, creating a whirlpool around them, making it impossible for anyone else to get close.
Xiaolan looked around, quickly put the bottle in his hand into his backpack, and assumed a fighting posture.
Jasmine has already rushed over with a stick.
Xiaolan hurriedly closed her backpack, carried it behind her back, and turned to face the attack.
"Hey!"
The sound of metal hitting each other was sad and loud, carrying waves of distant echoes that rippled through the area.
"How could you?!"
The three people outside the whirlpool showed happy expressions.
"If you really think that I am the easiest one to bully, then you are wrong."
Xiaolan held tightly the pair of spirit-locking whips that were exactly the same as those in Jasmine's hands. The two pairs of spirit-locking whips collided fiercely, causing tiny sparks to fly.
Jasmine reacted very quickly. Seeing that the surprise attack failed, she did not hesitate, blocked with her left whip, pushed hard with her right whip, and took three steps back using the reaction force.
"Why do you have a spirit-locking whip?"
"You have it, why can't I have it?"
Jasmine saw that this was unreasonable and said no more. She pointed her right whip directly at Xiaolan's head, and placed her left whip on top of the right whip. The blue light gradually gathered at the intersection of the two whips. After thinking for a moment, she lowered her right whip slightly.
Move, the left whip slashes along the right whip, and the blue light pops out like a bullet.
"Spiritual Needle Detective!"
Xiaolan followed suit and also raised two whips to wave out balls of light. The two balls of blue light collided and instantly turned into a ball of black mist, which dispersed and became invisible in the night.
Jasmine became even more angry, and every sentence of the conversation not long ago came to mind.
"Why do I think they are lying to us, Lao Xu?"
"They're just lying to us."
"Then why did you stop me? Obviously..."
"Jasmine, didn't you recognize it?"
"Who do you recognize? They are indeed traveling together, right?"
"It's not just a companion, Jasmine, it seems you really didn't recognize that girl, she is Liao Yilan."
