soul repair

Ji Qingyan sat aside with his chin propped on one hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Guan Lingdao.The kid's clothes were covered with moisture and leaves, and the soles of his feet were covered with mud. It looked like he had just returned from the back mountain.

"So, what do you think?" Song Guzhui explained the ins and outs, but he also looked at this person, waiting to see if he had any good ideas.

It was easy to understand that the stone knocking sound was called by Ji Qingyan, Song Guzhui just didn't know what Guan Lingdao was doing here.

"Put the name of your enemy in front of the statue, and this person will die within three days." Guan Lingdao saw that everyone was looking at him, so he could only speak out in a timely manner, "If I really have an enemy that I can't kill, I will really treat this person as a benefactor."

Stone knocking sound looked at the ground nonchalantly.This kid has always been a little outrageous, he should learn to calm down.

Guan Lingdao asked again: "In this case, why are pilgrims allowed to put their names in front of the statues in the temple?"

"At the beginning, I didn't expect it to be so effective." Song Guzhui still couldn't see what he was useful for, but he had to explain, "I don't know who put the name of a bully in the city in front of the statue. The person died the next day, and within a few days another bully's name appeared, and he also died suddenly that night. After three or four times, word spread in the city that the gods and Buddhas of Tiancheng Temple appeared and wanted to kill all the evildoers. Jing. From then on, I will not live in peace, and every day someone puts the name of the enemy in front of the statue."

"How many names should there be in front of the statue, are they all dead?"

Song Guzhui frowned and said, "Only choose one to kill every day."

"How to choose?"

Song Guzhui shook his head: "It seems to be chosen at random. It's not that whoever does more evil things will die. At first, the abbot of the temple thought it was a manifestation of a god and Buddha, so he didn't dare to stop it. After seven or eight people died, Tsing Yi thought it was a soul cultivator who killed someone, so he passed the news to me."

The stone knocking sound couldn't help but said: "I think the host is just for incense money."

Although Shi Knocking was well-behaved and sophisticated, he was quiet and didn't like to talk nonsense, but he was born with a certain stubbornness. When encountering such unfair things, he must be the first to speak up.

"Recently it has been closed, but there are still people who put their names on the gate of the temple, and they will die within three days."

Ji Qingyan said: "It's useless to stop it, just find a tree and name it, and that tree will become a sacred tree in a few days."

Guan Lingdao looked up at him upon hearing this.That's right, if you want to kill, you can kill for any reason, and everything else is an excuse.What his princess said hit the nail on the head.

Unknowingly, the corners of his mouth turned up again, Ji Qingyan said softly: "Don't laugh."

Guan Lingdao's face froze.

Don't let me laugh.

Why, no reason!What did he do, don't let him laugh at every turn!

Song Guzhui looked at the two of them strangely, not knowing what he had missed these past few days, he raised his eyebrows together and said, "Knock, what do you know about Shuiducheng?"

"Shuidu City is one of the eight famous cities in the Southern Dynasties. It was the capital of the Southern Dynasties more than a hundred years ago. It is rich in lilies, so it is also called Baihe Township. There are 9000 officers and troops stationed outside the city. The city walls are impregnable. More than [-] people live in the city. Six or seven years ago, hundreds of people died intermittently in the city, and twelve soul cultivators were found out in a row, and then it gradually subsided—the names of the twelve soul cultivators, do you want to say?” Clarify the point, "Or do you want to see the map of Water City?"

Ji Qingyan said: "No need, go back and pack up, leave at noon - knock and stay, I have something to discuss with you."

"Excuse me, what's the matter, Palace Master?" Shi Knocking waited for the other two to leave the door, and finally spoke.

"Guan Lingdao knows about the previous Shangqing sect rules. The old Palace Master already knows about it. Just keep it in your heart. You don't need to tell Deacon Qin."

"Yes."

Song Guzhui always felt that he must have missed something important, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he went out and stopped Guan Lingdao, and said tentatively: "The third palace lord has eyes on you, you should do your best, don't let him Disappointed, and don't embarrass him."

Guan Lingdao was often taught by him like this in the past, but since he only saw each other every now and then, it was nothing.Thinking of not being able to look up and down in the future, he couldn't stand it: "Is this what the Lord of the Third Palace meant?"

"I mean." Can't he train this kid anymore?

Guan Lingdao felt a little dissatisfied, and blurted out: "What will the Master of the Third Palace tell me in the future? Deacon Song is good at everything, but he is not as good-looking as him. I don't like to hear it."

Song Guzhui's face turned livid in an instant, and he was almost about to explode on the spot. Before he could say anything, Shi Knocking had finished talking with Ji Qingyan and came out of the yard.Ji Qingyan's voice came from inside: "Guan Lingdao comes in."

Guan Lingdao felt bad when he heard him shouting that, and walked in with his head down, but he didn't dare to get close, and said unwillingly, "The third palace master asked me to come in because he wanted me to be more polite to Deacon Song. ?”

Ji Qingyan looked at him coldly for a moment, wondering if he could see that he was really scared, but he didn't say anything serious: "From now on, you are not allowed to make unreasonable comments on people's appearance."

Guan Lingdao thought he was going to be punished again, but he didn't expect to hear the tone but there was no sense of reproach. He couldn't help but feel better, and said with a flat mouth, "Well, if you don't let me say it, I won't say it."

"Go out and pack your things." Ji Qingyan stood up expressionlessly and turned his back.The sound of pattering footsteps behind him faded away, Ji Qingyan stood still without making a sound, his two long eyebrows were inadvertently raised.

Is it stubborn, how to teach?

The old palace lord told him the story of taming the wolf that day, so that he could treat Guan Ling better from the beginning, so as not to regret it in the future?

Water City, beside the moat, it was already late at night.

The man stood under the willow tree, dressed in plain white clothes, looking at the slightly thin figure of the boy on the rock.The young man was about six to seven points similar to him, with light gray clothes, bloodstains all over his face and body, his body and hair were all wet, he hugged his knees, and looked at the water surface in confusion.

The boy is obviously dead, and the one sitting here is a ghost.

Su Yigu approached quietly and sat down next to the young man, running his fingers through his hair, it was empty and he couldn't touch anything.His movements didn't stop, and the boy remained motionless, staring blankly at the river.

It is said that after a person dies, his soul will fly away within a few hours. My brother has not left for so many days, it must be his wish.

The enemy is not dead, how can we let it go?

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yigu accidentally dozed off, and when he woke up, the boy beside him had disappeared.He stood up, walked slowly along the bank, and unknowingly walked to the Tiancheng Temple in the city.

The night was still dark, the door was closed tightly, and there were more than a dozen notes with names written crookedly on the door, which were pressed down with stones.Su Yigu smiled, and picked out a piece of paper with neat and beautiful handwriting.

This is his younger brother's handwriting, and this is the damned person. Are the rest of you stupid? Do you really think it's a manifestation of the Buddha?The Buddha is merciful in nature and pays attention to karma. How could he use such a vicious soul technique to avenge their murder?

Su Yigu looked down at the note, and suddenly, there was a whistling sound of wind nearby, and then several people fell to the ground, and footsteps of varying severity sounded, as if they had just arrived hurriedly.

"This is Tiancheng Temple."

Su Yigu immediately walked lightly into the dark alley next to him, holding his breath.

The voice was steady and dignified, and the enunciation was clear, but because of the distance, it was not clear.Su Yigu half-closed his eyes, and vaguely felt that the cultivation of these people who came here was advanced, and there might be some origins.Seven or eight people have died recently, which may have attracted the attention of the immortal cultivator. These people came to investigate the soul cultivator.

It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, Su Yigu flew away like a shadow.

There may be danger next, but it doesn't matter, as long as my brother is happy.

Guan Lingdao stopped and looked into the dark alley.

"What's wrong?" The stone knocking sound also stopped.

"It's nothing." Guan Lingdao walked into the alley and took a look. It was pitch black, and he didn't see anyone. There was a dead silence, "It's nothing, let's go."

"The pieces of paper at the gate are all left after the gate was closed in the temple." Song Guzhui handed the names to everyone, "The names on it are mostly country gentry and bullies, but they also have personal grievances. What's Sangong's idea? Are you waiting here to see if someone comes over in the middle of the night?"

"If you don't know the details of the other party, it's easy to startle the snake." There is an inn not far away, Ji Qingyan pointed, "It's four shifts now, let's rest for one night, and come back tomorrow to check."

"Alright."

So a few people knocked on the door of the inn, asked for a few rooms from the sleepy guy, and stayed overnight.

After sleeping for less than half an hour that night, Guan Lingdao suddenly turned over.He listened intently for a moment, then tapped his finger on the wall and whispered: "Third Princess, someone died, it came from the west of the city."

There was no movement on the other side of the wall, Guan Lingdao was waiting on the other side of the wall, but after a while someone knocked on his door lightly: "Come out."

Guan Lingdao hadn't finished dressing yet, so he was caught off guard and said softly "wait a moment".It was quiet outside for a moment, and only for a moment, suddenly the door lock opened with a "snap", and Ji Qingyan's figure appeared at the door.

Guan Lingdao quickly picked up the coat on the bed.In fact, this person's temper is really very anxious, so he can't wait for a while!

Ji Qingyan didn't seem to notice his disheveled appearance. He was dressed in simple attire and stood indifferently at the door. Guan Lingdao held his breath and put on his clothes. He lowered his voice and said, "You want to call them two?"

"No need." Ji Qingyan led him out, "Gu Zhui is very unhappy with you."

It's not just that he was unhappy, when he went down the mountain just now, Song Guzhui didn't show any kindness to him, he didn't say anything to him, and he didn't know what to tell him in Ji Qingyan's ear.

Guan Lingdao couldn't help but said, "I don't like to hear others teach me." Besides, Song Guzhui was suppressing him just now, and it wasn't for his benefit at all.

Ji Qingyan turned to look at him: "Shall I teach you a lesson?"

"I listen to my master and the old Palace Master." Guan Lingdao pondered for a while, remembering that Ji Qingyan didn't punish him in the morning, he somehow felt that this person was good, and said with a smile, "I also listen to you. Actually—"

"Actually what?"

"Actually, if you don't keep a straight face all day long and smile at me from time to time, I might be more obedient. Why don't you always smile, what should you do if you don't smile in the future..."

Ji Qingyan's face became more and more cold: "Nonsense."

Guan Lingdao was only listening to the screams that night, before he had time to say anything, he stopped suddenly: "Third Palace Master, the screams are gone."

Ji Qingyan had already passed him, stopped and turned his head to look: "Suddenly disappeared, isn't the soul dissipating?"

"Suddenly disappeared." It was like a dying person screaming, who was killed by a knife, and stopped abruptly.

Ji Qingyan remained calm when encountering any misfortune, thought for a moment, and said, "Take me to the place where the sound disappears."

The place where the screams disappeared was far away, and it was difficult to find an exact place for a while, only knowing that it was near the center of Water City.The two searched in the air for more than an hour without any results, Ji Qingyan looked at the sky and said: "It's dawn, let's go back first."

Just about to go to the inn where he was staying, Guan Lingdao flew down and landed under an arch bridge.Ji Qingyan followed him and stopped on a clean stone: "What's wrong?"

"Someone seems to be trapped here, the voice is extremely low." Guan Lingdao looked up at him, "What's going on? This is the first time I've heard such a voice."

Ji Qingyan didn't make a sound, and walked slowly under the bridge with his head down. Suddenly, his sleeves fluttered, and several stones pressed on the ground rolled away automatically, revealing a dark and inconspicuous jar underneath.

This jar looks ordinary, looks a little old, and has a hole.Guan Lingdao listened intently for a long time, a little confused: "What is this, the sound seems to come out of the jar."

Ji Qingyan took out the jar: "This is a Horcrux, a Horcrux that can only be made by soul cultivation."

"What do you mean?"

"It takes more than two years of soul cultivation to refine a Horcrux." Ji Qingyan was thoughtful, "The person I met this time is a person with some cultivation."
