Chapter 17: Evil Spirits
"This chivalrous woman, what does it mean to mention the soul?" Li Yuanwai looked surprised, afraid that his daughter would not wake up.
"To lift the soul is to extract the soul from the body, and the current young lady is just a physical body that has lost her soul. Without my brother's spiritual support, her body must have been cold and stiff. Feng Luan explained carefully, and at the same time pondered what exactly extracted the soul of Miss Li's family? Could it be that all the missing girls were reminded?
Night. Mu Yuze told Feng Luan about the dark aura, and now it can be determined that the missing girl is likely to be a demon demon, but with the current cultivation, he can only feel its existence, and he can't make that aura appear at all. If you want to investigate clearly, you can only know the purpose of the other party's soul lifting.
Early the next morning, the two sought help from Li Yuanwai and found the families of all the missing girls. With the power of the Li family, most of the families of the missing soon came to the Li family's courtyard one after another. Dozens of people talked in the courtyard, some said that the ape demon had plundered the girl, and some said that they were lured to their homes by the lustful county order. There were different opinions, Li Yuanwai cleared his throat and signaled everyone to be quiet, and introduced the identities of Mu Yuze and Fengluan to the family members.
Knowing that they were here to investigate the case of the missing girl, the family members were in chaos again, and they all wanted to find their daughters first, seeing that the scene was so out of control, Mu Yuze summoned the Sword of the Emperor of Punishment and pointed it at the sky, and a golden sword qi went straight to the sky. Everyone was speechless and froze in place. I don't know who took the lead and knelt on the ground and shouted that the gods are coming! Everyone else also knelt down and shouted, Mu Yuze put away his sword qi and said to everyone, "Folks, get up, I'm not a god, I'm just a chivalrous man to investigate the case, I understand your mood very well, but this disappearance is extraordinary, there are actually evil spirits to blame, I hope you can keep your senses, don't make noise, next I will ask you some questions, please remember carefully." ”
At this time, everyone was quiet, and Mu Yuze and Feng Luan also began to inquire about the situation of the missing person. Through the feedback of the family members, it was learned that the missing girls were all unmarried girls between the ages of 16 and 19, and only a few girls were grumpy like Li Caifeng before the disappearance, and the rest were quiet, but all of them had a common characteristic - they were closed during the day, and they had to walk to their own courtyard at night and stand still, and they didn't start eating leftovers until late at night, no matter how many they were, they would eat them all, and then go back to the house to sleep after eating.
After briefly pacifying everyone, Mu Yuze decided to go to the homes of these missing people to see if there was still a dark aura. Li Yuanwai is also very kind, knowing the strangeness of this disappearance case, he decided to let all the family members temporarily live in the Li Mansion, firstly, so that everyone can take care of each other together, and secondly, it is also convenient for Mu Yuze and the two to investigate.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two did not delay any longer, and began to investigate after the Li family asked for a map of the city and marked the location of the homes of each missing person.
By the moonlight, when the two of them walked to the nearest disappearance point, Mu Yuze suddenly sensed that the same dark aura as the Li family was fluctuating, and hurriedly ran in. As soon as I entered the door, the aura disappeared without a trace.
When Mu Yuze was still curious, Feng Luan said, "It ran away!"
"Can you see that?"
"Yes, a resentful spirit, like a monkey!" Feng Luan said very flatly, looking at Mu Yuze staring at him with a helpless look, "What do you mean by looking at me like this?"
"Eldest sister, you are really a failure that is not enough to achieve more than a failure! Why are we here? Hide and seek? Don't arrest the suspect when you see it?" Mu Yuze complained about Feng Luan in a row, but since Feng Luan could see the dark aura, it would be easy to do, and after telling her to freeze it when she saw the dark aura again, the two of them went to the next disappearance point.
However, after walking a few missing spots in succession, he didn't encounter the resentful spirits again, "It seems that he was startled by the snake just now!" Knowing that the action just now had made the resentful spirits vigilant, Mu Yuze decided not to continue to inquire about the remaining missing points. "Feng Luan, what do you mean when you say that the resentful spirit you just saw looks like a monkey?
"The resentful spirit is the cultivator's soul bone that is refined into aura by powerful spiritual power to wander in the world, but the resentful spirit can only exist in the sealed space, and this kind of resentful spirit that appears freely in the world is also the first time I have seen it, because they exist in the state of the spirit, they are generally rarely aggressive, unless they rely on some medium to reshape the soul bone to become an entity, with your current cultivation can only sense them, it is impossible to see. However, the upper body of the resentful spirit just now was as long as the monkeys in the Tangting Mountain, but the lower body was like a wisp of smoke, without legs and feet, floating in the air. ”
Hearing Feng Luan's description, Mu Yuze suddenly remembered that the evil spirits in the distant Qiyang Mountains were also like this! It was the Punjab and Lufeng ape tribes who had betrayed the leader of Rama. Recalling the resentful spirits in Miss Li's boudoir, it can be confirmed that the resentful spirits could not go out during the day, so when the resentful spirits were forced to the corner that day, Li Caifeng's mysterious return was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Now that there is no daylight in the middle of the night, the wraiths are free to move.
At this time, it was already around the ugly hour, and the two returned to the Li Mansion to rest.
Early the next morning, the families of the missing people gathered in the front yard to discuss whether they had found clues last night, and some even clamored to search in the Tangting Mountain, insisting that it was the ape demon who had robbed their daughter.
No matter how much Li Yuanwai appeased, he couldn't control the order of the scene, and in the end, Mu Yuze walked to the door of the living room and said to the people in the courtyard, "Everyone, I don't know if you have heard of the legend of the evil spirit in Qiyang Mountain? After last night's investigation, I can already confirm that the missing girl has a close relationship with the evil spirit. Before he could finish speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "What evil spirits, those are all stories, if you can't find clues, don't make up lies, we can find them ourselves!" Only Li Yuanwai is convinced of this statement, after all, as a wealthy businessman, he has seen and heard a lot of things.
Just when everyone was about to leave the Li Mansion and return to their homes, Li Yuanwai said, "Take the young lady out!"
"What? Hearing that Miss Li had returned, the people who were about to leave stopped and waited for Li Caifeng to see what the situation was.
Mu Yuze withdrew his aura, and Li Caifeng's body became stiff again! The family members who approached were taken aback, "This, this, how did this young lady become like this?"
Looking at the surprised crowd, Li Yuanwai told Li Caifeng's situation with tears in his eyes, which made the family members quiet.
Mu Yuze took the opportunity to say, "Everyone, please believe that I will definitely help you find your relatives and let them recover as before." But you must listen to my arrangement, to tell you the truth, I am from Tangting Mountain, I am one of the children who was snatched away by the ape god ten years ago, I was only a 7-year-old child, and my home is the Bai family on the outskirts of the city!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman in the crowd shouted, "You, you are the grandson of the Bai family, are you called Mu Yuze?"
Hearing that someone recognized him and knew his name, Mu Yuze was shocked. "Auntie, do you know me?"
"Of course I know you, I didn't expect you to be so old. I'm Lulu's mother, do you remember when you were a kid and you always played together? Sister Lulu, who is one year younger than you!" The woman's face was full of tears, and seeing Mu Yuze was like seeing her own daughter.
"I remember, I remember, you are Aunt Zhang. Is Lulu also missing?" Mu Yuze remembered that when he was a child, he had a partner named Lulu, who was a cute little girl. After briefly calming my aunt's emotions, she said to everyone, "The disappearance case is extraordinary, and I was indeed asked by the god of the mountain ape to come down the mountain to help everyone." Please trust me. With Aunt Zhang's recognition, the other family members also increased their trust in Mu Yuze, and they didn't say anything anymore, and they quietly waited for Mu Yuze's next plan.
