Chapter 45: Soul Collecting Gourd
"Unless what?"
Xing Xiaowei asked urgently.
My master thought for a moment and said, "Unless you have encountered other ghosts." There is a word called dove occupying the magpie's nest, Song Xiaoting's body was first occupied by the stone Gu, and most of the yang energy on her body has dissipated. The soul has just left the body, and the body's repulsion to other ghosts is almost zero. ”
"This gives other ghosts a chance to take advantage of it."
Listening to the words of my master Ma Hongji, whether it was a middle-aged couple or Xing Xiaowei's brother and sister, their eyes widened. I wasn't surprised, after all, my ex-girlfriend Li Yan appeared in front of me as a ghost.
I also went out of my way to look at the open window. There was dust outside the windowsill, and there were no traces of man-made. So Song Xiaoting's body should not have left through the window.
After listening to the words of my master Ma Hongji, Xing Xiaoxi was the first to speak. She shrank back and stepped back to her parents.
With anxiety and fear in her eyes, she stared at my master and asked in a trembling voice, "Aren't there no ghosts in the world?" Our teacher said that it was all superstition. ”
My master Ma Hongji smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Little girl, I don't want to scare you!" Ghosts are erratic, and if they don't reveal their bodies, they can't be seen by ordinary people. Since I can't see it, I have answered that sentence, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it. ”
And Xing Xiaowei is not worried about whether there are ghosts, what he cares about is the comfort of Song Xiaoting.
"Classmate, no, Dao Chief! You said you were a Taoist priest in Lushan...... Even that kind of Gu worm is afraid of you, then you must have a way to find Song Xiaoting's body. Can you help me find her? ”
Ma Hongji responded: "Don't worry! It is not difficult to find that Song Xiaoting's body, but it needs the cooperation of that stone Gu, and Song Xiaoting's soul is in the body of the stone Gu. And the soul is sensitively connected to one's own body. ”
I stood by and didn't interject, but I don't think it's going to be that simple. So, I said to my master, Ma Hongji, "Master, there is surveillance in this hotel, we can go downstairs and take a look at the surveillance first." ”
Ma Hongji said: "This is not in a hurry, just wait and then go over." I need to put Song Xiaoting's soul away first, otherwise if she stays in the body of the stone Gu for a long time, her soul will be counterattacked by the soul of the stone Gu itself, which will be detrimental to Song Xiaoting's soul. ”
Hearing my master say this, Xing Xiaowei scolded his sister Xing Xiaoxi with a displeased face: "It's all you, this girl, if you weren't messing around, how could such a big thing happen." We adults are involved, and you children are mixed with something. Don't let your stone Gu release your Xiaoting sister's soul soon. ”
Xing Xiaoxi was scolded and a little unhappy.
She pouted and said, "Brother, what are you angry at me, I'm not here for your good." If it weren't for that Song Xiaoting refusing you, how could you lie in the room and cry. I secretly followed you out into the street that day, and I saw it all when she rejected you. ”
"And in front of so many people, you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed."
Belch!
This little girl is really old when she speaks. Today's children are precocious, intelligent, and understand everything. How old she is, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she knows the word "shame".
"You ......"
Xing Xiaowei was so angry that his face directly turned the color of pork liver.
Seeing the two brothers and sisters arguing, Xing Xiaoxi's mother hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, Xiaowei, you are the elder brother, you have to let the younger sister." Xiaoxi, she is still young and ignorant. Although this matter was her fault, she didn't want to hurt that Song Xiaoting. ”
Under the persuasion of his mother, Xing Xiaowei looked at me and my master in embarrassment.
At this time, Xing Xiaoxi also took out the stone Gu from his personal pocket.
"Little girl, you can release Song Xiaoting's soul now, otherwise, my brother, an infatuated lover, may go crazy!"
I couldn't help it, and when I heard this, I laughed out loud.
Xing Xiaowei glared at me, and I hurriedly waved my hand: "Brother, I don't mean anything else, it's your sister, I think I'm more mature than you." It's so much fun! ”
Pouting, Xing Xiaowei didn't say anything.
The five fingers of his right hand were opened, and the stone Gu appeared in Xing Xiaoxi's palm.
Hearing his master's words, the stone Gu's head poked out of its carapace, and then, its mouthparts opened and made a swallowing shape.
Soon, its black body turned more and more pitch black, and then, with a few "sighs", there were spots of light the size of sesame seeds, flying out of the stone Gu's mouthparts.
I counted it carefully, and there were a total of ten points of light, which corresponded to the "three souls and seven spirits" of the person.
After those points of light appeared, they first flew around the big bed for a while. It's like the light on the buttocks of a firefly, it's not bright, but it's beautiful. They are supposed to sense the smell of the flesh.
But after all, the physical body is not here, so Song Xiaoting's three souls and seven spirits are about to fly out of the window.
Seeing this, I suggested, "Master, why don't we directly follow Song Xiaoting's Three Souls and Seven Spirits to find her physical body?" ”
But my master, Ma Hongji, shook his head and denied: "No! Her soul had been controlled by the Stone Gu for so long, she was already very weak, and if she stayed in the air for too long, she would die on its own. After all, everyone here has yang energy in us, not to mention that we don't just have yang energy in us. ”
"So, I need to put away Song Xiaoting's 'Three Souls and Seven Spirits' first."
After that, I saw my master Ma Hongji take out a yellow gourd from the cloth bag.
The yellow gourd is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and there is a red tassel tied in the middle. And on the body of the gourd, there are a lot of red runes.
Opening the lid of the yellow gourd, my master's right hand was a sword finger, and the mana surged, wrapping his sword finger in the yellow air mass. The sword finger lightly touched the gourd's body, and in an instant, those runes were all connected together, and a dark red light lit up, which made the yellow gourd darker and darker.
"Big brother, why are your fingers bubbling out? How did this come out, it looks so much fun! ... And this gourd, which also looks quite interesting. ”
The eccentric Xing Xiaoxi stared at my master's yellow gourd and asked, her big eyes blinking.
My master replied, "This is a 'soul collecting gourd', but it's not for playing. As for that kind of gas, it's magic, of course. ”
The yellow gourd is indeed called the "soul collecting gourd", which is a magic weapon. But the yellow air mass that emerged from my master's sword finger was a manifestation of his mana, not magic.
Obviously, he was lying to Xing Xiaoxi.
If you want to say that it is a child, it is still easy to be deceived.
"It turned out to be magic! When I find Song Xiaoting's body, will you teach me this kind of magic? Xing Xiaoxi asked expectantly.
My master smiled indifferently and did not say a word.
Xing Xiaowei's mother hurriedly covered Xing Xiaoxi's mouth, didn't let her speak, and slapped and disturbed my master Ma Hongji.
The Soul Collecting Gourd lit up with the magic light, and my master recited a series of incantations from his mouth:
“...... The spirit of the heavenly law, the spirit of the earth law, the decree of the ancestors, dare not stay...... Harvest! ”
The spells were very complicated, and the recitations were fast, and I understood a few words.
As my master's last sound fell, he pointed the opening of the soul gourd in the direction of the big bed. Then, like a bee returning to its nest, Song Xiaoting's "Three Souls and Seven Spirits" quickly flew into the soul collecting gourd.
When the last point of light penetrated into the gourd, my master hurriedly closed the lid.
Then, he beckoned, "Let's go, let's get out of here, let's go to the cash register on the first floor first." Perhaps, a clue will be found. ”
Then, the group of six of us went to the first floor again.
It's not too early, it's already too late.
If Song Xiaoting's body is not found in time, then the connection between her body and her soul will become weaker and weaker. At that time, even if it is found, it will be difficult to rescue Song Xiaoting.
So, time is of the essence.
When I went down to the first floor, there was a small eye boss sleeping at the collection registration desk.
I walked over, reached out and knocked on the counter, shouting, "Boss! ”
The small-eyed boss opened his eyes in a daze, and he was also startled to see so many of us standing in front of him.
"This big night, you...... What do you do? "He's nervous.
I hurriedly said: "Boss, we're fine, it's just that we lost something on our body and want to see the surveillance." These guys, they're my friends, they're here to help me find something. ”
The little eye boss finally came back to his senses and recognized me and my master.
"Ah, little brother, it's you two!"
He said with a smile, his eyes still on my master's handsome face, and he glanced at it a few more times.
Is he really interested in beauty and skin care, and why do I suspect more and more that he is more interested in my master?
My master looked a little impatient, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at what to see, and then see believe it or not, Lao Tzu blinded your dog's eyes." Hurry up and find me a monitor, see what happened in room 207 not long ago, and see how that Song Xiaoting left here. ”
Forehead!
Ya, I really can't lie, I just finished panicking, and I was broken by my master.
"Isn't it something missing? Why do you still have to check the movement of room 207? ”
The small-eyed boss was confused.
I thought about it, so I took out fifty yuan from my pocket and pushed it to the counter, I smiled and said, "Boss, you can help check it first!" ”
With the money, the small-eyed boss became more amiable and approachable.
He hurriedly helped us check the surveillance.
Xing Xiaowei, who was in a hurry, got into the counter by himself because the boss was too abrasive, and checked the surveillance with him.
After a while, Xing Xiaowei looked up with a pale face and said to us: "It's Song Xiaoting, it's her!" Just half an hour ago, she left the hotel on her own. ”
I turned the computer screen outwards and I could see the top of the screen clearly.
Song Xiaoting did leave by herself, but she was like she was drunk, and her face was flushed.
What's more, the way she walks is also very strange, as if she can't open her legs, and she walks in figure-eight steps.
At that time, the boss of Little Eyes should have fallen asleep, so he didn't notice Song Xiaoting leaving.
My master stared at the picture and said lightly: "It can't be wrong, Song Xiaoting's body is occupied by other ghosts. ”
I was surprised and asked, "Master, how can you be so sure?" ”
My master said in a deep voice: "Yuyang, look at her eyes, there is clearly a faint shadow in her eyes. ”
I took a closer look.
The picture is frozen, pulled in, and enlarged.
Sure enough, in Song Xiaoting's eyes, I saw a gray shadow.
"Let's go, let's go find someone." My master walked out of the hotel.
We followed, and the small-eyed boss was completely stupid. His lips trembled, and his eyes showed panic, because he also saw the gray ghost in Song Xiaoting's eyes.
