To Raise a Soul

Yu Zhen looked at her hands that were so hard that they turned white, and for a while didn't know how to persuade her to let her give up the idea of ​​taking revenge in person. Thinking of how much she cared about him, she could only say meanly: "Magu, you Now you are my puppet, no matter what you do, the final karma will be on me, do you understand?"

Magu raised her head to look at him, her voice became sharp: "How could this happen? Will I harm you? No, this is not what I want, baby, you..."

"Your existence will not harm me, but if you do evil intentionally, then I will not escape the punishment of heaven." Yu Zhen calmed her emotions that were about to lose control with one sentence. Seeing her dazed expression, she added : "You can take revenge if you want, but you must think long-term. You can't hide anything from me. You must let me know."

What he said was not to prevent Magu from taking revenge, but to prevent her from taking revenge now.She had just gotten rid of her identity as a magic weapon, and she had completed one obsession in her heart. Now that she had just recovered her memory and feelings, her desire for revenge must be extremely strong, so strong that it might make her lose her mind.

Zou Chengjing is considered a successful person now. He has the fate of countless families. Behind him is an expert who can renew his life and refine magic weapons. If there is no return, you must be cautious.

Seeing his earnest and concerned expression, Magu gradually calmed down, sat up a little straighter, and said, "You listen to Bao, you listen to Xiaozhen, I will do whatever you ask me to do, absolutely not They will mess around and taint you with karma."

Seeing her like this, Yu Zhen was relieved, but somehow felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed his fingers on his trousers, thinking of something, buried his head in the pagoda, found a bodhi lotus, handed it over, and said, "Here, Eat it."

The puppet is also considered as a spirit body, and Magu immediately sensed the specialness of Bodhi Lotus, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, Xiaozhen can keep this kind of good thing for himself, and this is enough for me."

As he spoke, he touched the seeds between his eyebrows, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This is the basis for her to survive in the world now, it is a gift from her child, it is the inseparable blood relationship between the two, and it is also the most precious thing she has now.

Yu Zhen was so sore and swelled by her laughter, leaned over and pulled her hand and put Bodhi Lotus on it, saying: "You are a normal puppet now, the evil spirit that used to be the source of power has disappeared, I gave it to you. That bit of bone and blood merit is only enough for your daily walking. If you don’t supplement it, you may not even be able to maintain your daily walking after a while. I still have a lot of these lotus seeds. It doesn’t matter if you eat one. I’ll look for it later to see if there are any puppets If there is a method of cultivation, you can learn to cultivate by yourself, and if you become stronger, you can spend a little longer with me."

Puppets, like magic weapons, also have a service life. The difference is that magic weapons will only accumulate evil spirits and sins, and will definitely perish in the end, but puppets can rely on the master's merit, aura and self-cultivation to become stronger little by little. The bad things accumulated in the flesh and blood of human beings, slowly return to the original, reshape the body, and become a great spirit.

Spirit servants and spirit pets can ascend to immortality together with their masters, such as nothingness.He doesn't want Magu to become as powerful as nothingness, but only hopes that she can cultivate slowly and accumulate more merits, so that even if she fails to ascend in the future, she can still look for opportunities and opportunities for reincarnation.

"Baby..." Magu couldn't help holding his hand, her eyes were full of joy.

Yu Zhen smiled shyly at her and did not avoid her hand.

"Yu Zhen." Yin Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, pulled his hand back, took out a practice booklet and put it on it, "This is the elementary puppet body training technique, you can use it for her."

Yu Zhen was pleasantly surprised, picked up the booklet and looked at it, and said happily: "You even have this kind of thing? I was going to ask Feng Lao's grandson to see if he has a method of puppet cultivation, you, you... …Thank you!"

He was so pleasantly surprised that he couldn't help stretching out his arms to give Yin Yan a hug, then turned around and stuffed the booklet into Magu's hand, and said, "What Yin Yan gave must be good things, you practice this first, and I'll do it later." Get you something to replenish your aura. By the way, there is still a place to live. I have already planned to replace Yujue. I will practice a new three-story pagoda in a while, and you and San'er will each have one floor , you can live more comfortably.”

Magu glanced at the practice booklet in her hand, then at Yu Zhen's expression of pride hidden in joy, and finally she turned her gaze to Yin Yan, who had always been calm, and moved back after a shallow sweep for a second, and turned towards Yu Zhen gently. Smiling, said: "I will practice hard."

After solving Magu's way out, Yu Zhen's mood obviously improved a lot. Magu was infected by him, and her breath became gentler. When talking about the past, her tone was no longer so paranoid and hateful.

"When I separated from Yu Jincheng, I went back to my hometown..."

After Wang Shu and Yu Jincheng separated back then, they first went back to Lie’s hometown to visit their parents. Although she tried to hide it as much as possible, her mother quickly discovered what was wrong with her and insisted on dragging her to the hospital for an examination, only to find out that she had postpartum depression , and it has become more serious.

At that time, people did not have the concept of postpartum depression in their minds, and Wang Shu didn't understand it very well. She didn't know that she was sick until the doctor diagnosed her, not because of a sudden change of temperament and going crazy.

It took a year or two to treat the disease. During this period, Wang Shu met a doctor and gradually got together with him.After that, it was what Wang Shu said when she was insane. She and the doctor were going to get married, and she wanted to bring Yu Zhen to her side, so she went to find Yu Jincheng.

But the two had been separated for too long, and they lost contact long ago. Yu Jincheng's number was changed, and the house he used to live in was also sold. Wang Shu went to H province many times, but he still couldn't find Yu Jincheng's whereabouts.

Another half year passed like this, just when Wang Shu was about to despair and was about to compare boys of the right age in the whole province of H, Yu Jincheng suddenly appeared again.Wang Shu was ecstatic, and immediately found him, expressing that he wanted to bring the child back, Yu Jincheng agreed, and lied to her that the child was sent to City B, and asked her to go with him.

"He took me to a villa, locked me up, raised me with some weird things for a long time, and then found an 'auspicious day'..."

Magu frowned when she saw Yu Zhen when she said this, she changed her words, skipped this paragraph and continued: "Afterwards, I became unconscious, and occasionally woke up, and I was locked in a dark place, and I didn't get much. useful information."

Yu Zhen pondered, recalled the investigation materials Yin Hexiang showed him last time, turned his head to look at Yin Yan, and said, "Since Magu's death is strange, can we start from here..."

Yin Yan shook his head: "It's useless, the 'accident' Yu Jincheng did well, even though his father knew that Yu Jincheng was not dead, he still didn't find anything useful. Too much time has passed, and even if we go, we will not be able to obtain realistic evidence."

In other words, starting from the murder case, it is no longer possible to punish Zou Chengjing with actual laws.

Yu Zhen's mood fell again. In this world, it seems that it is always very difficult for good people to protect their own rights through formal channels.

Is it only possible to control violence with violence?

Yin Yan unconsciously let out a trace of spiritual energy from his fingertips. Yin Yan held his hand and said, "Yu Zhen, killing a father is a serious crime. Even if the other party is heinous, he deserves to die. If you really can't make it through, I'll do it for you."

Yu Zhen came back to his senses, quickly collected his emotions, shook his head and said, "No, there will be a way to make him suffer the consequences. Don't get your hands dirty."

Magu looked at their intertwined hands, and couldn't help but stare at Yin Yan again.

This is the person, this old thing, who stole the baby...

"Nothingness." Yin Yan said.

The white cat appeared, obediently lying on the coffee table and licking its paws, looking cute and harmless.Magu's body froze the moment it appeared, and she retracted her gaze unwillingly, glanced at Yu Zhen whose attention was drawn away by nothingness, and said: "Although I have been awake for a short time these years, but the bits and pieces are also I learned some things, such as the truth about Yu Jincheng being adopted by Daoist Qingxu."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhen's attention was immediately drawn back.

Magu straightened her hair, satisfied, and continued: "The fire that made Yu Jincheng an orphan was actually caused by Yu Jincheng himself. This is a secret, and not many people know about it. I thought Yu Jincheng, who was only a few years old, had no memory of the fire at that time, but it was not the case, he remembered it very clearly."

Yu Jincheng, who was only a few years old at the time, was burdened with the great evil of killing relatives. After entering the orphanage, it directly affected the aura of the orphanage, causing frequent illness and accidents among the children in the orphanage.Qing Xuzi, who had wandered so far, discovered the problem, and felt sorry for Yu Jincheng, who was just an ignorant child who made a big mistake unintentionally, so he adopted him, trying to straighten out the crooked seedlings.

As a result, Yu Jin's costly nature is difficult to change. Although he was taught by Qing Xuzi to be a gentleman on the surface, he is already very bad at the bottom.Through Qingxuzi, he came into contact with the way of cultivating the truth, moved his mind, and wanted to follow Qingxuzi to enter the Tao, but Qingxuzi saw that his purpose was not pure, so he flatly refused, and sent him to a stricter military management school, I hope that the righteousness of the family and the country can give him a little positive influence.

Yu Jincheng didn't appreciate Qingxuzi's kindness and nurturing grace at all, and held a grudge against his "selfish" refusal. When he turned eighteen, he broke away from the father-son relationship with Qingxuzi, and never saw Qingxuzi again.

"When I met him, he was just an ordinary college student with no signs of cultivation. But when we met again, when I died in his hands and became his puppet, he was already a hidden evil cultivator. He has a adoptive father named Wang Dayi, who is also a monk, and he taught Yu Jincheng all the ways of cultivating Taoism."

When Magu said this, she couldn't help laughing mockingly, and said, "Then Wang Dayi went the right way, but taught Yu Jincheng some crooked things. This righteous father and son is also very ridiculous."

Wang Dayi, that calligrapher and painter with an old skin.

Yu Zhen frowned, sorted out the information Magu gave, and asked, "Then do you know what Wang Dayi's purpose in training Yu Jincheng is?"

Magu shook her head: "I don't know, I don't have enough time to be awake, and Wang Dayi is also very careful. When he meets Yu Jincheng, he will always set up formations around him. Even if I happen to be awake, I won't hear anything."

It seems that the crux of the matter lies in Wang Dayi, and Zou Chengjing is just a tool.

Yu Zhen was thoughtful, seeing that Magu had been talking for so long, her complexion was already a little pale, Gu Nian she had just transformed into a puppet not long ago, she was still too weak, so she considerately did not continue talking, watching her eat Bodhi lotus, put She received Yujueli.

As soon as the conversation here was over, Elder Feng sent a message, saying that there was something urgent and the dinner appointment tonight would be cancelled. I am very sorry, and I will formally invite them to dinner at noon tomorrow to make an apology.

Yu Zhen was not in the mood to eat, so she followed the trend, and after the sender closed the courtyard door, she turned around and buried herself in Yin Yan's arms.

"What are you worrying about?" Yin Yan hugged him.

Yu Zhen rubbed his chest, and said: "I was just wondering, does Yu Jincheng know that Grandpa is that super powerful Qing Xuzi, Wang Dayi adopted him as his son, helped him everywhere, but led him to evil, is it right? Grandpa's identity is related."

"Don't think too much, thinking too much about the thoughts of evil cultivators will affect your own Dao heart."

Dao Xin again.

Yu Zhen raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes drifted away and he would be dazed. After recovering, he rubbed his chin against his collarbone and said, "My chest is injured, and it's not easy to take a bath by myself. Help me."

Yin Yan looked down at him, and directly used the cleansing technique to sweep his whole body, and said, "Your wound should not get wet, and you can temporarily use the cleansing technique to replace it."

"..." Miscalculated.

Yu Zhen straightened up, stared at him, and said angrily, "It's time to eat, I'm hungry."

Yin Yan snatched out a spirit rabbit from the space, and said, "There is a kitchen in the courtyard, I will make rabbits for you."

What to eat rabbit!Eat, eat, know to eat!

Yu Zhen snatched the spirit rabbit, and said coldly, "The space spirit rabbit will be eaten up, so eat another one!"

"Spirit rabbits have a strong reproductive ability. If you don't eat a little bit, the ecological balance on the mountain will be destroyed."

Still know the ecological balance?Assimilation into society is quick.

Yu Zhen couldn't find an excuse to make trouble out of no reason. Looking at Yin Yan's calm and upright face, he stuffed the rabbit back again and said, "Then I don't want to eat diced rabbit, I want to eat roasted rabbit meat!"

There was real fire in Yin Yan's hand, and the spirit rabbit that hadn't been slaughtered shivered.

"...Then you go to bake, I'll sleep for a while." Yu Zhen turned around and walked into the house, afraid that if he stayed again, he would be so angry that he would bite Yin Yan, although he didn't know why he was angry again up.

When he closed the door and was really alone, Yu Zhen became listless again. He would be stunned for a moment, buried his head, and took out the materials that he had prepared for San'er and the others to make the tower, and forced out his aura.

Sleeping is definitely not going to be able to sleep, forget it, let Magu and the others refine the house.

On the east side of the villa, in the yard that is also against the mountain.

Wang Dayi held down Zou Chengjing, who was constantly struggling and writhing, being eroded by evil spirits, and took out a ginseng plant with meritorious aura, crushed it with the aura, and poured it all into Zou Chengjing's mouth.

"Second!"

"Master." A small puppet about the height of the palm jumped down from the desk and knelt down in front of him.

"Go get the boy out!"

The second child was shocked, and said: "But master, that is the treasure you have cared for for many years, and it will mature in five years, take it out now..."

"I can't care about that much anymore, go and take it out!" Wang Dayi was in so much pain that he wished he could kill Zou Chengjing on the spot, but he had no choice but to keep him, so he could only bear the killing intent forcefully.

The second child glanced at Zou Chengjing with dissatisfaction, stood up, and nimbly crawled into the wooden box Wang Dayi put in the corner, took out a small jar covered with talisman paper, carefully lifted it to Wang Dayi, and put it on the ground.

Wang Dayi reached out and took the small pot in his hand, with a surge of aura, he tore off the talisman paper, sucked out the pale, baby-like fleshy ball inside, put it on Zou Chengjing's chest, and recited the talisman in a low voice.

A shrill child's howl sounded, and the white lump of flesh suddenly stood up, rolling its body, lowering its head, aiming at Zou Chengjing's heart, and began to suck it.Following its movements, the evil spirit floating unsteadily around Zou Chengjing's body began to rush towards the meat ball.

The evil spirit weakened, and Zou Chengjing's struggle slowly stopped, but the white flesh was stained black, and suddenly began to swell rapidly when it was completely black.

Wang Dayi took out a real fire seed and put it back into the jar together with the meat ball, and the spiritual energy oscillated again.

boom.

After a muffled frying sound, the meat balls in the pot disappeared, replaced by a puddle of black and red minced meat, and then the white real fire rose and burned everything up.

Zou Chengjing relaxed his body and passed out. Wang Dayi was sweaty and limp on the ground.

The door of the room was knocked suddenly, and another puppet guarding the door stiffly announced: "Master, Elder Feng is visiting."

"Damn!"

Wang Dayi cursed in a low voice, and signaled the second child to bring the unconscious Zou Chengjing into the inner room, while he quickly burned incense and changed his clothes, cleaned the traces, and after making sure everything was done, he turned into an old appearance, and lay down on the bed to signal his subordinates to bring him in.

Elder Feng observed carefully as he walked towards the courtyard, but he didn't find any trace of evil spirit, so he felt a little more at ease. When he entered the door and saw Wang Dayi lying on the bed with a pale face, most of the doubts in his heart subconsciously disappeared.

With such a physical condition, even if Wang Dayi wanted to do something, his body would not allow it.

"Brother, how is your health recently? Is it better?" He collected his thoughts, sat on the chair beside the bed, asked with concern, and at the same time looked around without any trace.

Wang Dayi coughed twice, and sat up with difficulty. Seeing this, Mr. Feng quickly got up to help him.

"Thank you, Junior Brother." Wang Dayi leaned on the pillow, thanked him, then gave a wry smile, and said, "Why is it getting better, look at the aura around me, I'm afraid time is running out."

Elder Feng sensed it and found that the aura in his body was slowly dissipating. He frowned and said worriedly: "There is still no progress in cultivation? How about a way to prolong life? Have you found it?"

A monk is not immortal. When the advancement stops and the cultivation base is unable to make further progress before the deadline, the monk will exhaust his aura and die.

Wang Dayi was considered long-lived among ordinary old people, but short-lived among monks of the same strength.

For example, Feng Lao, he is not much different from Wang Dayi in age, but he still looks hale and hearty, and his hair is only gray. decades.

"Nowadays, resources in the cultivation world are scarce, and there are not many monks who desire to prolong their lives. How can I find them? Now, I don't force too much. I just hope that I can cultivate some fresh blood for the cultivation world before I die. Make up for the mistakes I made in the past."

Wang Dayi said, lowered his head and sighed, one eye was deaf and he couldn't see, the other eye was cloudy and full of tears, he looked very pitiful.

Elder Feng couldn't bear to see it, and said: "Don't say that, I will try my best to find a way for you... Sigh, if you said that you didn't do those things back then, listen to your advice, you wouldn't be like this now."

"At that time, I went astray, and I regretted it at the beginning... Let's not talk about it, this party may be the last time I attend, I prepared something for the juniors, you will help me take it to Yuan Yuan soon Master Hui, let him watch and send some out."

As Wang Dayi said, he turned sideways to touch a small box on the bedside table. His hands exposed outside the sleeves were thin and haggard, with wrinkled skin and full of age spots.

"Don't move, I'll help you get what you want to give." Feng Lao hurriedly got up and helped him back, the last bit of doubt in his heart dissipated, he helped him get things, sat back, comforted him with all his heart, and took out Give him some good medicinal materials and elixir that he has found recently.

This narration lasted one afternoon. Before dinner, Mr. Feng saw that Wang Dayi was not in good spirits, so he got up to leave.

When he turned around, he found some traces of talisman paper in the corner, as if it had been shattered by spiritual energy. His heart moved, and he walked over there, saying: "Why are there still paper scraps here? The people cleaning the yard are too careless." .”

Wang Dayi's heart was full of alarm bells, he quickly coughed, and said, "It's not important, it's just some small scraps of paper, let someone come and sweep them away later, junior brother, don't worry about it, be careful."

"It's okay, it's okay, there aren't many scraps of paper, I'll just pick them up for you."

As Feng Lao said, he had already reached the side of the scraps of paper, bent down to pick up a corner, turned it over, and was about to read it.

Wang Dayi's expression changed, his eyes sank, and he began to accumulate aura in his hands, aiming at Feng Lao's vest.

The talisman paper is a special talisman paper used to seal the boy, so it can't be seen as strange.

The two lay down and stood, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Just as Mr. Feng turned over the talisman paper completely, and the aura was about to pop out from Wang Dayi's hand, there was a sudden explosion of shocking power from the south, and then a huge aura of aura spread over.

Wang Dayi was rushed by this aura, and the attack in his hand immediately dissipated.Elder Feng's expression changed, he put away the corner of the talisman paper in his hand, turned to Wang Dayi and said, "The south is the residence of the guest I invited, maybe something happened, senior brother, I'm sorry."

"You go... Cough cough, such a strong aura, probably something serious happened."

Seeing that his sleeping position had changed, Mr. Feng thought he was rushed by the spiritual energy, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him lie down, said goodbye in a hurry, and walked quickly towards the south of the villa.

To the south, in Yu Zhen's courtyard.

Yu Zhen stared blankly at the small three-story vermilion pagoda in front of him that was shining with golden light, and was also shocked by the movement of the pagoda when it was formed just now.

Yin Yan strode in from the door opened by the aura, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I..." Yu Zhen was a little silly, looked back at him, pointed to the small pagoda in front of him, and said, "I, I just came up on a whim. When refining the pagoda, add the piece of jade you gave It’s a treasure after all, so it’s a pity that you don’t need it…”

"..."

Yu Zhen felt guilty and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

Yin Yan was silent for a few seconds, then said: "That piece of jade..."

"Huh?" Yu Zhen looked at him curiously.

"...The main material for refining is second-grade immortal jade." Although it is immortal jade that has been castrated many times, its power is not too strong, but it still has the character of immortal. The power may not be strong, but the bloodline will not change. It is already very difficult to make, let alone secondary refining.

Yu Zhen's horrified face said: "...I actually refined the immortal jade? But I don't have immortal energy in me!"

"..." This is what Yin Yan wants to ask, why Yu Zhen, who is a remnant soul, not only failed to fry the ingredients when refining the immortal jade, but also succeeded in refining the immortal jade a second time, which is not normal.
