Volume 2: Mao'er Mountain Chapter 87: Three Souls and Seven Spirits
When the villagers saw Xiao Yue and Amu appear in time, they couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
The village chief was stunned for a while, and when he reacted, he realized that his clothes had been soaked in cold sweat.
To say that he wasn't afraid when he was fighting with the cat demon just now is fake.
He is a mortal after all, and he has a chance to survive against a goblin with a mortal body and a vast magical power?
Everyone is afraid of death.
It's just that the village chief dared to make such an enemy with the cat demon with a lot of anger and blood.
Now that my spirit is relaxed, I can't help but feel a wit when I think of the thrill on the line of life and death just now.
secretly glad that Xiao Yue and Amu came at the right time to save his life.
The cat demon was shocked by Amu's demon wand, and the injury was really extraordinary, it wanted to escape, but it didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Xiao Yue and Amu walked in front of the villagers, and saw several villagers lying on the ground, already dead, the death was extremely miserable, the two of them did not feel a wave of anger rising from their chests, Amu said to the Buddha, his angry eyes widened, looked at the cat demon and said: "Evil animal, I have spared your life, thinking of my Buddha's mercy, I should not have killed, but today you have harmed so many people's lives for no reason, and now I will never allow you." ”
After speaking, he sacrificed the golden lotus treasure lamp in the air, folded his hands, and recited the mantra on his mouth.
The cat demon couldn't help but feel a burst of horror, thinking that this lotus lantern had studied for a long time and had not found the trick for his own use, but he didn't want to be taken away by this monk, and looking at this scene, he could bring out the power of this lotus lantern.
As soon as the thought passed, he felt a golden light dazzling in front of him, and then his body seemed to be stuck by a powerful suction, sucking it into the lotus lamp.
If this is sucked in, it will die, and it will resist with all its demonic power, but this suction is strong, and it is really not something that can be resisted by its own small demonic power.
Amu said: "Evil animal, do you still want to break free and escape at this time?" Hmph, if you sincerely repent, I can also let you think about the wall in the lotus lamp for a hundred years, and then I can let you out and practice again, and today I see that you are obsessed, I have to let you fend for yourself in the lotus lamp. ”
The cat demon knew that there was a fire in the lotus lamp, and this fire could burn all things in the world, even if it was the body of a golden immortal, it could also burn to the point that it would be destroyed and never be reborn.
Hearing that Amu was going to suck it into the lotus lamp to fend for itself, he knew that he was going to burn himself with that fire, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly secretly used the demon method to make a plan to get out.
Amu said: Close.
The cat demon was not allowed to resist, and the golden light suddenly flourished, and immediately sucked it into the lotus lamp, and Amu chanted a spell to burn the fire in the lamp.
Xiao Yue walked over and picked up a porcelain bottle at Amu's feet, knowing that it contained the spirit of the villagers, she immediately put it away and said to Amu: "Isn't this cat demon still on a mission to resist?" In the midst of the flames, he did not let out the slightest cry of pain. ”
Amu said: "It is estimated that it has lost its breath, as long as it is in an hour, its form and spirit will be burned to ashes, and then it will be ashes, and there will be nothing." ”
Xiao Yue said: "This Golden Lotus Treasure Lantern doesn't want to be so wonderful, fortunately, this cat demon didn't know how to exert its power at that time, otherwise I would not be alive and waiting for you to save me." ”
Amu said: "This is a Buddhist treasure, and it can only be used by people who are destined to use it, although the cat demon has it, in its opinion, it is equivalent to getting a broken copper and iron, which is useless." ”
When the villagers saw that Amu had taken the cat demon and heard that it would be burned alive, they were amazed at the wonder of the lotus lantern, and they were also very happy, thinking that this fairy had finally received retribution, and the village would be safe in the future.
Under the leadership of the village chief, they all came to thank Xiao Yue and Amu.
The village chief said: "There are still a few people in the village who have been taken in by the cat demon for their children, and I hope the two masters will wake them up as soon as possible." ”
At that moment, Xiao Yue and Amu went to wake up the three girls who had been collected by the cat demon one by one.
The village chief ordered people to carry the villagers who died tragically back for burial, and each family held a funeral, and the village was covered with a layer of sadness and sorrow for several days, and from time to time a few cries came out from the house of a deceased, piercing the quiet sky and burrowing into the ears of others, all of which had a sad and miserable meaning.
Xiao Yue and Amu were going to leave the village to hurry, but because they had extremely deep kindness to this village, the whole village was grateful to the two of them, so they were unwilling to let these two god-like gods who were like bodhisattvas who saved the suffering and save the suffering, and each sincerely begged to keep them for a few more days.
They were not in a hurry to leave, and seeing that the villagers were so gracious, it was difficult to push back, so they had to stay.
This stay lasted for ten days and half a month.
That night, the two of them had dinner at the village chief's house, packed up their things, and prepared to leave the village at dawn the next morning.
At this moment, a villager rushed into the village chief's house in a panic and with a worried face, and without waiting for the village chief to ask him a question, he said, "I came to ask Daochang Xiao and Master Amu to help me go to see my daughter, she is sick, very sick." ”
Xiao Yue and Amu glanced at each other, and immediately followed the villagers to the house, only to see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl lying groggily on the bed, talking in a dream that others could not understand.
Xiao Yue and Amu couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it.
The girl was not sick, but her spirit had been taken away.
The reason why she is still conscious, unlike Xu Laimin's daughter, who fainted as soon as her soul was taken away, and she was unconscious, was because her spirit was not completely taken away.
Human beings have three souls and seven souls, the so-called three souls, one is the heavenly soul, the second is the earth soul, and the third is the life soul. There are seven spirits, one is the sky, two are the wisdom, three are the qi, four are the force, five are the center, six are the essence, and the seven are the Ying. Taoism abbreviates the three souls and seven spirits as the essence of people.
This time, the girl was only taken away with three souls, so she can still be conscious. And only the three souls will not faint immediately, but will first slowly appear general weakness, fatigue, and sleepiness symptoms, as long as you sleep, the spirit will sink into a state of confusion, and she will dream of a lot of strange things, and she is unaware of everything that happens in reality.
Judging from the girl's symptoms, she was not entangled in evil things and lost her three souls, but was taken away directly by someone with a spell, but the cat demon has been collected by Amu, and now I am afraid that it has long been burned to ashes by the flames, who else will ingest the souls of the villagers?
Could it be that there is a new elf in the village?
Xiao Yue asked the girl's father, "When did your daughter fall ill?" ”
The villager said, "Just after dinner today." Before dinner, the child told us that he was a little dizzy and unwell, and we didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that he was cold and sick. Let her finish dinner, go to bed early, sleep first, if she still feels unwell tomorrow, and then take her to the doctor, but I don't want her to go to bed, and after a while, I keep saying some strange dream words, and my head is full of cold sweat, and my expression is painful, which scares our family, and the six gods have no master, or my wife reminded me to invite you two masters, I just thought of inviting you. ”
Xiao Yue said: "Where did she go before this?" ”
The villager said: "I didn't go anywhere, just outside under the banyan tree, and I played with a few friends of the same age and two or three eight or nine year-old children in the village, and she came back in the afternoon when she was about to have dinner." ”
Xiao Yue said: "Are you sure these children are children from a certain family in the village?" ”
The villager nodded, and said the names of the children one by one, and indicated whose family the child belonged to.
The reason why Xiao Yue asked this was because he was afraid that there would be a goblin who was as good at change as the cat demon to come to the village and pretend to be someone else to commit murder, but when he heard the villagers say that he knew those children, he must have guessed wrong.
But who could have taken his daughter's soul?
