It is a very risky operation to separate the soul of a living person.
Zhong Ziqing did not dare to be arrogant, and after discussing the details with Shi Pengpeng.
She personally lit a long-burning lamp and placed it on the top of Lu Mange’s head, then removed the calming talisman on her body, and then began to knock her teeth to gather her spirit, shaking the bell in her hand, and walking around her while reciting the spell.
The sound of the gold bell rang into the spiritual platform.
After a while, a faint soul floated out of Lu Mange’s body and hovered in mid-air.
The soul left the body, and the spirit was still in chaos, but seeing that the soul’s eyes were lifeless and looked around blankly.
Zhong Ziqing recited another spell, and the gaze became clear, but immediately fell into confusion again:
“Daoist Zhong, what’s going on here?”
Looking down, she saw her own body and was even more surprised,
“Ah ah” called twice, “Did I finally die?”
“No, don’t worry, sir.” Zhong Ziqing quickly comforted and explained the situation and their plan, while constantly observing Lu Mange’s reaction.
After all, such a thing always depends on the person’s own will.
If she disagrees, they can only give up.
Unexpectedly, only half of it was said, and Lu Mange nodded eagerly:
“Okay, okay, let’s do it!”
Zhong Ziqing:….
The other party was too eager, which made him block all the prepared words in his throat.
Shi Pengpeng clapped his hands and said with a smile:
“That’s good.”
However, as a novice soul, Lu Mange was obviously not very proficient and did not know where to go.
“Feel it with your heart.” Shi Pengpeng patiently guided,
“There should be a force pulling you.”
Lu Mange concentrated as she said, but still shook her head: “No.”
Shi Pengpeng looked at Zhong Ziqing, and Zhong Ziqing looked ashamed:
“I once used a compass to calculate a divination for Lu Sir, but I couldn’t point out the direction.”
This is the strangest thing about Lu Mange’s soul separation.
It is neither an internal cause nor a spirit, and the spell cannot find any source.
It was thought that letting her soul leave the body would go to the place where the soul was taken.
But now it seems that it is also useless.
“Is this disease really without any reason?” Zhong Ziqing was very puzzled.
This conclusion undoubtedly challenged his understanding.
“I don’t think so.”
Yan Jing, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke, “I believe in science. Nothing happens out of thin air.”
Bright lamp.
Zhong Ziqing:
That’s right, but “believe in science” this kind of words spoken by Yan Jing, for some reason, there is a sense of heartbroken stubbornness.
At this time, a faint sandalwood smell suddenly came from the side.
Zhong Ziqing turned his head and saw that Shi Pengpeng had a stick of incense in his hand.
“Where is the wandering spirit hidden…..”
The incense burned without fire, and the thin white smoke rose, circling around Lu Mange’s soul, and then turned into a thin trajectory.
The smoke trail is very faint, and it is almost impossible to distinguish if you don’t look carefully.
“Tracking spell.” Zhong Ziqing was inspired, and then he sighed with admiration,
“Classmate Shi’s professional study is very good.”
The tracking spell is just a common Xuanmen spell, and many cultivators have learned it, but the actual operation is a world apart.
The force connected to Lu Mange is very weak.
If others cast the spell, they probably can’t find this thin trace.
Shi Pengpeng “hehe” two voices, just said:
“Then I will go with Miss Lu.”
Because the body needs to maintain a breath of life after the soul leaves, they can only act separately.
After consultation, it was decided to let Zhong Ziqing stay behind to guard Lu Mange’s long.
Zhong Ziqing was originally not very rest assured letting Shi Pengpeng act alone, but after seeing her tracking spell, his worries were immediately reduced by half, and he nodded and said:
“Okay.”
Lu Mange timidly raised her hand and asked:
“Um, how are we going to go?”
Although the souls in TV dramas can do some cool travel skills such as flashing, she obviously hasn’t mastered it yet, and she still only knows how to walk with two legs.
It would be too slow to go down the mountain in this way.
Shi Pengpeng pondered: “Drive.”
While looking at Yan Jing with an expectant look and showing a shy smile, Brother……
Yan Jing:
Yan Jing closed his eyes, expressionless, took out the car key: “Let’s go.”
Seeing this, Zhong Ziqing was more and more surprised.
I didn’t expect that not only did Yan Jing personally drive the demon over, but he could also send the soul away.
What kind of mentality is this?
The tracking smoke is faint and almost transparent, mixed in the fog of the mountains and forests, as if it will disappear in the next second.
But Shi Pengpeng always lights a new stick of incense in time to maintain the trajectory.
Yan Jing’s driving skills are quite good, both fast and stable.
It didn’t take long to go down the mountain and get on the open national highway.
Shi Pengpeng looked at the direction of the smoke trail and felt that the route was very familiar, saying:
“It seems to be heading to the urban area”
Soon, her guess was confirmed.
They followed the tracking smoke back to the urban area of Xiluo, winding and winding, all the way to the West District.
The West District is one of the earliest developed areas in Xiluo, gathering a large number of building groups that were completed in the last century.
The car drove through one historical street after another, and finally stopped outside a slightly dilapidated community.
The community is obviously quite old, with seven or eight floors of step ladders.
Many of the outer wall skins have peeled off.
However, the community’s greening is quite good, with lush trees everywhere, casting large patches of shade.
Under the shade, many old people set up tables and are playing cards and chatting.
Shi Pengpeng couldn’t help but be surprised.
Before setting off, she had imagined many possible places in her mind, but she never thought it would be such an ordinary residential community.
The atmosphere of life is too strong.
Lu Mange was also confused, “Ah” said:
“Are you sure it’s here?”
“It seems so.” Shi Pengpeng nodded and saw that the smoke trail, which was faint and almost invisible all the way, became clearer when it approached this community.
Yan Jing put his hand in his pocket:
“Then let’s go in.”
“Ah, you too?” Shi Pengpeng hesitated,
“You can wait for me outside, right?”
Yan Jing’s face turned dark, and he very firmly took the first step: “Hurry up.”
Shi Pengpeng: “……………Oh.”
The management of the old community is not strict, and there is no access control.
The two people and one soul easily mixed in.
Following the smoke trail, they went up to the third floor of one of the units and finally stopped in front of a household door.
“It’s here.”
Shi Pengpeng turned to look at Lu Mange, “Do you know this family?”
Lu Mange shook her head in confusion, not to mention knowing, she had never been to this area.
Shi Pengpeng was very puzzled.
Because this family is too ordinary.
The old-fashioned burglar door with green paint, and the Spring Festival couplets that are still there on both sides.
Above the door, a small gourd and a red triangular paper packet folded with a red line are hung.
Some local old people who believe in Feng Shui and Xuanxue in Xiluo will hang these things on the door to ward off evil.
The red paper packet is folded with a talisman to protect the home.
No matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary local family, and there should be a more pious belief in the family, which does not seem like a place to take souls at all.
But the tracking smoke really came here.
“Shall I go in and take a look?” Lu Mange said excitedly.
Also she added “Isn’t the soul supposed to be able to go through walls?”
“Theory is,” Shi Pengpeng glanced at the talisman on the door, pondered,
“But there should be a god in this house, and outsiders can’t go in……………Hm?”
Yan Jing kindly reminded:
“She went in.”
Shi Pengpeng: “…… I also have eyes, I saw it.”
But Lu Mange’s soul just easily went through the burglar door and entered the room, without causing any movement of the family protection spell.
Shi Pengpeng’s doubts were deeper, and there was no time to think.
There was a scream from the room: “Ah – there is my memorial tablet here!!!”
Shi Pengpeng:?
Shi Pengpeng quickly pinched a spell, and the next second, Lu Mange hurriedly jumped out of the room.
Her pale face was full of anger and confusion, and almost could see the bulging blood vessels.
Shi Pengpeng: “What’s going on?”
Lu Mange pointed to the direction of the room and stammered:
“Th-this family, it seems that they are w-worshipping me in the house”.
Shi Pengpeng was inspired.
In this way, things make sense.
A living person is being worshipped as a dead person, which is a very vicious curse.
If a living person is worshipped as a dead person for a long time, the vital energy will be consumed, and even the underworld will mistakenly regard him as a dead person.
No wonder Lu Mange has the symptom of soul separation.
But Lu Mange doesn’t know this family at all.
There is no grudge or enmity.
Why would they harm her like this?
Moreover, this family does not seem to be able to do vicious spells.
At least Shi Pengpeng did not feel any signs of spell casting.
Shi Pengpeng asked: “Who is inside?”
Lu Mange: “Uh….”
She was just startled by her own memorial tablet as soon as she entered the house and didn’t have time to look at anything else, so she really didn’t know at the moment.
So she went through the door again, and after a while, she came out and reported,
“Now there is only an old lady at home.”
Shi Pengpeng pondered for a moment and said, “Then let’s ask.”
Yan Jing: “Ask who?”
Shi Pengpeng calmly raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Yan Jing: ?
No, is it that direct?
“Coming.” The burglar door creaked open, and an old lady with half-white hair and a kind face poked her head out, looked at the two people suspiciously, and asked,
“Who are you looking for?”
Shi Pengpeng put on a sweet smile and said,
“Hello, grandma, we are community volunteers here to visit you.”
“Oh, oh.” The old lady realized and scolded,
“Why didn’t you say in advance?”
“Didn’t we?”
Shi Pengpeng looked surprised, “Ah, they must have forgotten. There’s so much community work lately, always forgetting this and that,”
“ I’ll talk to them later.”
Lu Mange: ……
Yan Jing:“This little shaman’s acting skills are too good.It’s a pity that she didn’t pursue a career in the entertainment industry.”
“Can’t do that, can’t do that,” the old lady waved her hands hastily, while leading the two into the house,
“Everyone’s work is not easy, it’s normal to forget sometimes, it’s not a big deal……………”
“Well, let’s do as you say”.
Shi Pengpeng went along with it, and thus smoothed over the conversation.
The house had an old-fashioned layout, with red bricks on the floor, and in one corner of the living room, there was a carved altar.
You could see it as soon as you entered.
Shi Pengpeng glanced at it without changing her expression and saw that on the altar, there was a statue of Guanyin, and in front of the statue, there was an incense burner with the remaining incense sticks burning.
There were also fresh flowers, melons, and fruits, and there were smoke stains on the wall, which seemed to be often worshipped.
Next to the statue of Guanyin, there was a memorial tablet, and the name on the tablet was Lu Mange’s.
The old lady was very enthusiastic, invited the two to sit on the sofa, and brought a plate of fruit, and then started to chat.
In a short while, they had learned almost everything about the old lady.
The old lady’s surname is Shang, and both she and her husband are local people in Xiluo, but her husband passed away a few years ago.
Now she lives with her son and daughter-in-law, and she also has a grandson.
However, the grandson moved out to rent a house last year after he started dating a girlfriend, who thought it was not comfortable to live at home.
Because both the son and daughter-in-law have to work, there is often only Shang old lady at home during the day.
The old lady likes to be lively, either playing cards downstairs or visiting neighbors.
It’s rare for someone to come to her door, so she naturally welcomed them warmly.
The more Shi Pengpeng chatted, the more she felt that Shang old lady didn’t seem to be a malicious person.
She looked at the altar and casually mentioned, “Grandma Shang, you also worship Buddha?”
“Yes, yes.”
Shang old lady was happy to hear the young people take the initiative to talk about this, and her eyes lit up immediately,
“Do you worship too?”
“I worship at home.” Shi Pengpeng said.
Although she mainly studied Xuanxue, she also had some knowledge of other schools, and she could talk about it fluently, which soon made Shang old lady very happy.
When Shi Pengpeng thought the timing was right, she changed the subject and asked curiously,
“Grandma, I see there is also a memorial tablet next to this statue of Guanyin, who does it worship?”
“Foolish child, you just said you were knowledgeable, and now you got it wrong.”
Shang old lady “hehe” laughed and explained,
“This is not a memorial tablet, but a longevity tablet.”
Shang old lady paused for a moment, and her tone was both frightened and grateful.
“This is a specially customized longevity tablet that I had made. The person worshipped on it is our family’s great benefactor. If it weren’t for her, my grandson would have almost lost his life.”
Shi Pengpeng: ?
Yan Jing: ?
Lu Mange: ????
