Chapter 42: Resurrection of the Dead
Although I wasted some time by being restrained by the disciples of the evil sect, but fortunately, it was not too late, along the way I avoided passers-by and walked quickly, and after passing through a few unknown alleys, I came to the gate of the Zhu family, and I didn't have time to think about it, I grabbed the copper ring and knocked it violently.
"Uncle Zhu, help, Uncle Zhu. I banged the door of the Zhu family and yelled loudly into the door.
Soon there was movement in the gate, and it was still the old man who opened the door. As soon as the door opened, I saw Uncle Zhu and Aunt Yan Yan walking towards me from the middle of the courtyard wearing coats.
Without waiting for Uncle Zhu to speak, I took the lead in explaining: "I'm sorry Uncle Zhu, I killed Yiyi and my friends by mistake in Infant Spirit Mountain today, but their souls were sealed by me with a spell before they were formed, and they should be able to resurrect their souls!"
Aunt Yan Yan glanced at the unconscious Yiyi in a panic, and it was difficult to accept such a result for a while, and she fainted with blood and energy.
"Madame, Madameβ’β’β’β’β’"
Maybe I made too much noise, and many people from the Zhu family also came to the scene at some point, and they helped Aunt Yan Yan, who was about to fall to the ground.
"Oops!"
Uncle Zhu was frightened and pushed me away, and Yiyi's body slid into his arms. Uncle Zhu's actions at this time surprised me a little, but I think he also loves his daughter, and I am the real murderer of his daughter by mistake, and I am already thinking of the old love before I was broken into thousands of pieces on the spot.
Uncle Zhu took Yiyi's body, and after some investigation, he slowly stood up, and said to the doorman behind him: "Quickly carry the young lady into the hall!" Several doormen heard the sound and carried Yiyi to the courtyard.
"And him!" Uncle Zhu added, pointing to Zhiqi on my shoulder.
Uncle Zhu didn't say a word to me when he left, but hurried towards the backyard hall, and I didn't dare to say anything after Uncle Zhu like a child who had made a mistake at the moment.
The Zhu family's house is very large, and our group walked a long way in a hurry before we came to the gate of the courtyard located in the backyard of the Zhu family.
Outside the Zhujia Taoist Hall is a small courtyard wall made of blue bricks, the courtyard wall is some diamond-shaped hollow patterns, and a huge double-opening gate in the courtyard gate should be the location of the Zhu family's Taoist Hall. There is a golden statue of Taoism with a red cloth on its head enshrined in the Taoist hall, I don't know whose statue it is, and how it is laid out in the Taoist hall, I can't see it clearly from my current perspective.
"What about Yiyi and this kid's soul?" Uncle Zhu turned to me and asked, but his question this time was more like blame, and Uncle Zhu didn't call me a virtuous nephew anymore, it seems that I killed Yiyi by mistake, which broke the heart of the Zhu family.
After listening to Uncle Zhu's words, I quickly took out the souls of Yiyi and Zhiqi and handed them to him, Uncle Zhu took the charm and turned around and walked to the hall.
Uncle Zhu took a few steps and left me a sentence: "The fewer people who are resurrected, the better, you just wait outside the hospital!"
The fewer people who are resurrected, the better? But I remember that the secretary recorded that the more popular the better! This can increase the yang energy and facilitate the return of the three souls, why is there so much difference between the Taoism that Uncle Zhu and I have learned? Besides, am I a living person? It seems that Uncle Zhu is angry with me, so he said this.
I could only nod silently, not daring to make a sound.
As soon as Uncle Zhu and a group of gatekeepers stepped into the courtyard gate of the Taoist hall, the courtyard gate was closed by the two gatekeepers who stayed behind me, and the moment the courtyard door was closed, Aunt Yan Yan also rushed in calling Yiyi's name.
In the middle of the sound, there was a sound of the door closing again in the hall, and it seemed that Uncle Zhu didn't want people to disturb him, so he closed the door in the hall.
At this time, there were only me and two doormen in the courtyard, I wanted to step on my feet to spy on the situation in the hall, but my height, even the scenery of the backyard of the Zhu family was difficult to touch, and I was a scoundrel, so I could only walk back and forth in the front yard anxiously alone.
After Uncle Zhu entered the hall, my hanging heart calmed down a little.
At this moment, I was very guilty, and I couldn't help but look up at the sky and pray, at this time, a meteor crossed by, I looked up and meditated: "God, my Yang Daoguan really knows that I am wrong, please bless me and let Uncle Zhu save Yiyi and Zhiqi, if there is anything rushing at me." β
When I looked up at the starry sky again, the faces of Yiyi and Zhiqi appeared in the night sky, I knew it was an illusion, but at this time I really wanted them to be safe, even if it would give me a chance to bow my head and admit my mistake.
After a while, there was a sound of chanting from the doormen in the Taoist hall, and it seemed that all the disciples of the Zhu family were people who were skilled in the channel.
Just as I was wondering what they were singing, a dark shadow flashed behind me, fast but caught out of the corner of my eye. Thinking of this, I was about to push the small door of the Zhu family's backyard, but my move was stopped by the Zhu family's doorman.
"The surname is Yang, the master didn't directly kill you to avenge the young lady, it's already a great kindness, and you still want to go in and disturb the master's practice, what's your intention?" said a doorman glaring at me viciously.
"I just saw a figure floating into the hall. I quickly explained.
"Nonsense, Zhu Xi and I have been guarding the door, there is no figure, stay there, don't hinder our master to save Miss!"
In order to make the people of the Zhu family less hostile to me, I did not continue to entangle with the doorman in front of me, but honestly retreated to the original place and continued to look at the courtyard with my feet.
But at this time, I was very worried about the figure that floated in, what if he was a traitor and disturbed Uncle Zhu's pace of saving people? But these two disciples would not let me in, and if they wanted to go in to investigate, unless the soul went out of the body and concealed it from the doorman, but there was no record of how to let the soul out of the body in the black book.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to release a trace of remnant soul power and enter the hospital to investigate the traces of people. Just as I pinched the power of the remnant soul to my fingertips, a figure appeared next to me, and I looked at the pupils that I don't know how many times they had dilated, because at this time I saw that the figure was me, and a person who looked exactly like me was looking at the courtyard wall on tiptoe with a worried face, and the two doormen didn't seem to notice the other me for no reason.
"Could it be that my soul is out of my body? No way! I have never learned such a technique, and it has never been recorded in the Black Book. β
"Hey, did you see that?" I pointed to the two doormen who looked exactly like me, but they stared at me on tiptoe as if they couldn't hear me at all.
It seems that it was really out of body, but how did I do it? Could it be that I was thinking too much about the out-of-body soul and the soul was out of the body?
I closed my eyes and meditated on the soul return, and instantly felt my body flutter towards someone who looked exactly like me.
When I opened my eyes again, everything was back to normal! I was amazed at what was happening in front of me, and my mood was also mixed, I was happy, I unconsciously let my soul out of my body. Worried, Yiyi and Zhiqi don't know if they have been rescued, and what is the purpose of the figure floating into the hall?
"Boy surnamed Yang, have you seen enough? Didn't the master say that he would let you wait outside!" the doorman said to me again.
"Oh yes, I see. β
I replied briefly, and at the same time to test if they could hear me this time.
"What are you doing standing here when you know that?"
The doorman replied coldly, and they could hear my speech, and I turned and walked far away from the courtyard door and sat down, trying to get out of my body again.
I closed my eyes again and meditated on my soul out of my body, and sure enough, a light and fluttering me in my body formed a superimposed shadow with my body, and it seemed that the power of the remnant soul became stronger in my body, and the more skills I controlled.
I came to the two doormen, shook my palms, they couldn't see me at all, I was overjoyed, and rushed over the courtyard wall, but was bounced back by the stiff bricks of the courtyard wall.
Damn, it turns out that the soul can't go through the wall and cross the door out of the body!
But this is not the time to play, I put my hand on the courtyard door with a probe, and gently pushed the courtyard door, the courtyard door creaked, and the frightened two people hurriedly checked the situation, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, they closed the courtyard door again. But the moment they closed the door, my out-of-body soul had already arrived outside the hall in the courtyard.
The double-opening door of the hall was locked, and there was no chanting in the hall at this time, and after some investigation, I found no trace of people.
I wanted to observe the inside of the hall through the window, but except for the closed door, the entire structure of the house was solid, and there were no windows at all.
But I still didn't give up wanting to spy on the situation inside the hall, and in the end I chose another method, which was to go to the roof.
Just do it, I jumped lightly and came to the roof of the Zhujia Taoist Hall, after arriving at the roof, I carefully uncovered a piece of tiles, although the scene in the Taoist Hall can not be seen at a glance, but I can also see most of it.
Yiyi and Lu Zhiqi were lying flat on the left and right of the golden statue of the Dao Hall, at this time Yiyi already had a weak reflection, it seemed that she had been returned to her soul by Uncle Zhu with the Taoist method, but Lu Zhiqi was still the same as before, lying on the ground without any movement. And Uncle Zhu was standing on the same line with Aunt Yan Yan at this time, facing the blind spot of my perspective and telling something, and the doormen were also burying their heads at this time, standing aside in a proper manner and not daring to make a sound.
Is Lu Zhiqi not saved? Or is it that Lu Zhiqi can't be saved at all?
In a moment, Uncle Zhu and Aunt Yan Yan twisted their bodies at the same time, and a masked figure dressed in tatters walked out of the blind spot of my perspective with slow steps.
Yes, this man is the masked old man who has saved me from danger many times, but how did he appear here? How did he and Uncle Zhu meet? What is the relationship between them? A series of questions collided back and forth in my brain.
Just as I was looking at the scene of the hall in confusion, the masked old man seemed to have suddenly discovered something, stopped, and quickly returned to the blind spot of my perspective!
After the masked old man returned to the blind spot, he stretched out his palm, covered Uncle Zhu's ears and didn't know what he was saying, Uncle Zhu glanced at the roof with a surprised face, and pretended to look away calmly.
Oh no, was I discovered by the old masked man?
"Master, master, it's not good, the kid surnamed Yang at the door doesn't know what's going on, and suddenly he has no breath. β
A doorman banged vigorously on the door of the hall, shouting loudly.
At this time, I didn't care what the masked old man said to Uncle Zhu, and jumped to the body and returned to the body.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying flat in the courtyard, a doorman was desperately shaking me, followed by Uncle Zhu and a group of doormen.
"Zhu Xi, what are you talking nonsense, isn't it good to be a virtuous nephew?" Uncle Zhu looked back at Zhu Xi, who had just knocked on the door, and asked.
"Master, he obviously had no breath just now, I don't believe you asked Zhu Guo. β
Zhu Xi looked panicked, pointed at me and explained to Uncle Zhu what had just happened.
"Yes, master, Zhu Xi is right, just now the two of us did find that the kid surnamed Yang had no breath. The doorman named Zhu Guo also spoke at this time.
"Uncle Zhu, I may have been too tired in the past few days, and I was too worried about Yiyi and Zhiqi just now, so I fainted, and I am sorry to disturb you. β
I quickly diverted the subject, not wanting Uncle Zhu to continue to ask, if I really asked about my out-of-body affairs, how should I explain it.
"Bold Zhu Guo is neither big nor small, what kind of kid surnamed Yang? He is a descendant of my deceased, and you are not allowed to be so presumptuous. β
Maybe it was Uncle Zhu who saved Yiyi's life, changed his previous indifference, and at this moment he changed back to the appearance of kindness, Zhu Guo knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't dare to speak out at the moment.
Uncle Zhu saw that Zhu Guo was silent, so he didn't continue to blame him, and then turned to me and said, "Nephew, although I don't know why you hit Yiyi so hard, if I guessed correctly, you used your feet to drive the power in your body to attack Yiyi, and your companion happened to accidentally stray into your attack range, so he was both killed, right?"
"Yes, virtuous nephew, our husband and wife are not thin on you, and treat you as a guest, even if Yiyi offends you sensibly, you can't give such a vicious hand, Yiyi's ribs are all broken, and none of them are intact. β
Aunt Yan Yan began to cry after speaking.
"Okay, Yiyi has been rescued, what are you still blaming the knife officer for?"
Uncle Zhu was dissatisfied with Aunt Yan Yan's reproach for me, and spoke for me a little profanely.
"I'm sorry Uncle Zhu and Aunt Yan Yan, I really have nothing to do with Yiyi, it was a mistake, in fact, I was angered by Lu Zhiqi's words, I thought it was Lu Zhiqi who was hurt, but Yiyi took it for him. β
"Hey!"
After Uncle Zhu let out a long sigh, he said: "Yiyi used my Zhu family's secret technique, Dao Qi Shield, when he was kicked by you, and it also offset some of your damage, and today I also spent a lot of effort to make Yiyi return to the sun, but your friend β’β’β’β’β’β’"
"What's wrong with my friend? can't be saved?" I hurriedly asked Uncle Zhu.
"It's not a secret, your friend didn't have any Dao protection in his body, to put it bluntly, he was a mortal, and you used a powerful remnant soul power when you made a move;
Uncle Zhu's words made me instantly sad, because I remembered that day under the bridge, I had seen Huo Qingchun and others killed by the masked old man, and they didn't even have a soul, and they really lost the opportunity to be ghosts, this is the result of the disparity in strength!
It's not right, although I hit very hard, but Lu Zhiqi has a soul.
"No, Uncle Zhu Lu Zhiqi's soul is still there, you must have a way, right?" I quickly stood up, grabbed Uncle Zhu's shoulders with both hands and asked.
"Virtuous nephew, Uncle Zhu doesn't want to lie to you, in fact, when I found out that I couldn't save your friend, I cast a spell to summon a nearby Dao master, this person is comparable to a god, even he can't save the person, Uncle Zhu is helpless. β
Uncle Zhu said that the master who can be compared to the immortal is a masked old man? No wonder he appeared in the Dao Hall before, this person is indeed profound, but there are people outside the sky, Zhiqi, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you.
I let go of the hand on Uncle Zhu's shoulder and staggered towards the Zhu family's hall.
"Your friend's ghost is under his head, and if you can't trust Uncle Zhu, you can try it yourself. β
Uncle Zhu's voice rang out behind me.
At this moment, I was very guilty, and slowly walked towards the Zhujia Daotang, my heart and ideals were all about Lu Zhiqi's past, his good and his bad, no matter how he made me angry in the past, but after all, I couldn't escape the idea that I wanted to resurrect him, but how could I resurrect him? Even the masked old man couldn't do anything, what could I do.
The masked old man? When I think of the masked old man, I feel that something is wrong, who is the masked old man? Why is he near Zhu's house? And from Uncle Zhu's surprised expression on his face and glancing at the roof, he should have discovered my out-of-body matter, take 10,000 steps back, even if Uncle Zhu's Taoism is not enough, with the masked old man's Taoism, it should not be difficult to discover my existence!
The palm of the old man's hand stretched out from the blind spot of the perspective is the masked old man, and what he said when he covered Uncle Zhu's ear should be talking about my out-of-body matter, but when he communicated with Uncle Zhu just now, why didn't he mention anything about my out-of-body matter? What is the secret between them!
