Chapter 12: The Soul Returns
The house has been uninhabited for a long time, and it is very dilapidated. Of course, they didn't come here to enjoy the scenery, and no one cared about it.
Just in time they came in, the jade pendant was still floating in the air.
Xiao Huaiyuan glanced at Cheng An with some concern, if there was really someone inside, I was afraid that he would startle the snake.
"It's okay, there are a lot of us, it's such a small place, and there aren't many people to hide." Cheng An Dao.
Xiao Huaiyuan thought about it, what he said was right, so he didn't think about it anymore, and only concentrated on following Yu Pei.
The jade pendant floated to the vicinity of the east wing, and its speed suddenly increased.
"The soul of the White Maiden is here." Cheng An Dao.
Without Cheng An's orders, Yu Sen quietly touched the door. Then, he looked at Cheng An, and after Cheng An nodded, he carefully pushed open the broken wooden door.
What caught my eye was only a table of eight immortals with two folded legs and fell to the ground. They didn't see the jade pendant. However, the jade pendant did enter through the window.
Xiao Huaiyuan thought that the jade pendant passed through the room, and he was about to chase after it.
Cheng An grabbed him and whispered, "Let the eighth go in first." ”
At this time, Yu Sen's left foot had already entered the house, and Xiao Huaiyuan couldn't stop it even if he wanted to, and he was also worried that acting without permission would cause trouble, so he could only be anxious in his heart.
Yu Sen entered the house lightly, and when he saw the scene in the inner room, he was slightly stunned. No one sneaked up on him, and there was nothing else in it except for the soul of Yu Pei and Bai Jiangli.
After a while, several people heard a strange noise coming from the house.
When Xiao Huaiyuan listened carefully, he was stunned, someone actually raised thrushes here?
Cheng An looked happy, patted Xiao Huaiyuan's shoulder, and said, "Brother Huaiyuan, we can go in." ”
After saying this, he entered the house with Ruan Xiangtian. Xiao Huaiyuan was still wondering why there were thrushes in the house, and the two of them entered the house, so he followed in with hindsight.
Bai Jiangli was really in the house, but there was still some difference between her and people, her feet were off the ground, her eyes were closed and she was floating in the air. Xiao Huaiyuan suddenly remembered the appearance of the ghost he had heard from people in the past, which was very similar to the current Bai Jiangyuan. At this time, he didn't care to check whether there were any thrushes in the room, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Cheng An.
Cheng An comforted him and said, "It's a good thing that the white girl's soul has been found, so let's take her back." ”
"But, she's like this now, is it okay?" Xiao Huaiyuan said worriedly.
Cheng An glanced at Bai Jiangli, then at Ruan Xiangtian, who was busy, and affirmed: "It's good when we send the white girl's soul back." ”
Seeing that Cheng An said so surely, Xiao Huaiyuan's heart also settled down. He finally had a chance to look at the room in front of him, and as far as the eye could see, there was no hiding place for the birds. Thinking that Cheng An would let them in when he heard the voice, he put his puzzled gaze on Yu Sen. So, he learned the previous bird calls.
"Brother Huaiyuan, you might as well have someone search the rest of this house, maybe you can find some clues."
Hearing this, Xiao Huaiyuan hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
After Xiao Huaiyuan left, Cheng An walked around the room. When Xiao Huaiyuan came back, Cheng An had already finished investigating.
He shook his head and walked to Xiao Huaiyuan's side and sighed.
Xiao Huaiyuan swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Cheng An sighed and said, "That person is very careful, except for the soul locking array on the ground, he didn't leave any other clues. It's not easy to find him. ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a straight face: "Sir, don't worry, this matter will definitely be investigated by Hanshui Pavilion to the end." ”
Cheng An felt that the chance of finding that person was very slim, but he didn't tell Xiao Huaiyuan that multiple people always have more effort.
"Well, let's work together."
Over there, Ruan Xiangtian had already released Bai Jiangli's soul from the soul locking array, and then he took Bai Jiangli's soul into the wooden box he carried.
"This ......"
"Brother Huaiyuan, don't worry, the white girl's soul is very safe there."
"Well, I see." After speaking, he looked at the small wooden box curiously, the small box the size of a palm, which can actually hold a person's soul, which is really amazing.
Ruan Xiangtian glanced at Cheng An, Cheng An glared back, Ruan Xiangtian was unmoved, still looking at him expressionlessly.
Xiao Huaifeng saw the two of them staring at each other, and just wanted to ask what was wrong, Yu Sen, who had not spoken over there, spoke, "Third Senior Brother, I'll come." ”
Xiao Huaifeng was stunned, what was this going to do.
Cheng An didn't care about glaring at Ruan Xiangtian, "Hey, eight, you've done enough, I'll do this kind of thing." After speaking, he took the pen and paper and ran to the place where Bai Jiangli had been standing.
Now, Cheng Anzhong regrets it very much, why did he bring the eighth child out, he should have brought the seventh child out. The seventh can fight and draw. It's like the eighth child, and he can't even draw a circle.
Seeing Cheng An squatting on the ground with a pen and paper, Xiao Huaifeng suddenly understood what they were doing before.
Xiao Huaiyuan also stepped forward to take a look, he was very glad that he didn't open his mouth to Yu Sen, those on the ground were really difficult to draw if they looked closely. No wonder, they don't want to paint. However, why did Yu Sen take the initiative to ask for it, but he was also refused. He didn't believe what Cheng An said. Could it be that he dislikes his bad drawing?
Xiao Huaiyuan raised his eyes and looked at Yu Sen, his face was as usual, he was seriously looking at the formation on the ground, and there was nothing wrong with his face. This made Xiao Huaiyuan feel that he might be thinking too much, maybe because the things he drew actually had strong mana.
After a stick of incense, Cheng An finally finished painting.
"Eighth child, come and pull me, my leg is numb."
Yu Sen and Xiao Huaiyuan hurriedly helped him up, and Cheng Anshun took down the jade pendant floating in the air and handed it to Xiao Huaiyuan.
Xiao Huaiyuan just wanted to excuse himself, but Cheng An said: "This is the white girl's, and it should be handed over to Brother Huaiyuan for safekeeping." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Huaiyuan stopped refusing.
It just so happened that the people from the Cold Water Pavilion also came, and several people told Xiao Huaiyuan that they had not found anything abnormal.
Xiao Huaiyuan turned his head to look at Cheng An, Cheng An nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, let's go back." ”
Without the jade pendant, Xiao Huaiyuan took them a shortcut, and the group soon returned to the Cold Water Pavilion.
Xiao Yue came out with the housekeeper, and Cheng An said that he would put Bai Jiangli's soul back into his body first, and the rest would be talked about later. Xiao Yue naturally would not object.
Seeing that everyone was back, Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief. The eyes of Xiao Ergongzi looking at them were really uncomfortable.
Xiao Huaifeng wanted to let them teach him the spell that could make the jade pendant float, but he was embarrassed to speak, and Xiao Yunruo didn't help him. So, he stared at Ji Ran and Liyang with eyes that he thought were more sincere, hoping that they could understand from his sincere eyes how much he admired them.
"Alright, there's nothing to do with the two of you here, let's rest." Xiao Yue waved his hand at the two of them and motioned for them to leave.
Xiao Huaifeng shook his head desperately at Xiao Yunruo, this was the most critical moment, how could they just leave. He also wanted to tell Luo Xiaoliu about this.
Xiao Yunruo just didn't see it, and after saying goodbye to Xiao Yue, he pulled Xiao Huaifeng's sleeve and pulled him out of the door.
Looking at the closed door, Xiao Huaifeng was extremely sad and angry. He didn't learn anything, he didn't even speak, he couldn't even look at it, how could this be.
"Alright, don't look like the sky is falling. If you want to know, ask Big Brother tomorrow. Now, go back to your room and rest. ”
"But what the eldest brother said is different from what he saw with his own eyes."
Xiao Yunruo asked meaningfully, "Do you know who is lying inside?" ”
Xiao Huaifeng replied with a puzzled face: "It's Cousin Li." ”
"If she finds out and you stay inside, you know." Xiao Yunruo blinked and said, "When the time comes, I won't help you." ”
Xiao Huaifeng hung his head and said, "Then you have to go with me tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Xiao Yunruo nodded in response.
After receiving her affirmative answer, Xiao Huaifeng immediately became energetic again and ran out with a smoke.
Xiao Yunruo looked at his cheerful back and pinched his eyebrows. He turned his head to look at the closed door and walked away slowly.
At this time, Ruan Xiangtian had already released Bai Jiangli's soul from the wooden box.
Cheng An glanced at Ruan Xiangtian and silently stood behind Bai Jiang's soul.
"Bai Jiangli, it's time to go back." With that, he reached out and gave her a false push.
Bai Jiangli's soul really disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the unlit lantern that was originally placed above her head lit up the moment she disappeared.
Cheng An turned his head to look at Xiao Yue and Xiao Huaiyuan, and said, "It's done, now you can let the white girl go to bed." Tomorrow morning, she will be able to wake up. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yue hurriedly found someone to come over and moved Bai Jiangli back to the bed.
After Ji Ran and the others packed up everything in the array, Xiao Yue asked Xiao Huaiyuan to take them to the living room. As for Xiao Yue, he went to Xiao's residence.
As soon as Xiao Yue entered the door, Qiu Shi greeted him and asked, "Ah Li has woken up?" ”
"Ah Li's soul has been recovered, and Mr. Cheng said that he will wake up early tomorrow morning."
Qiu Shi nodded and said, "In this way, don't wake up Awan, she has been tired for several days, let her have a good rest, and save her from worrying." ”
"Okay, that's it." Xiao Yue glanced at Qiu's eyes, which were full of bloodshots, Ah Wan didn't rest well, how could she have rested herself. "Thank you for your hard work, rest early."
"I'll go see Ah Li, and I'll go to rest." Qiu Shi said softly: "Master, you should also rest early." ”
Xiao Yue nodded at her and turned to leave.
In the living room, Ji Ran and the others were studying the formation that Cheng An copied down.
In that regard, Xiao Huaiyuan didn't know anything, so he could only sit aside and listen silently. He found that Yu Sen was also like him, sitting quietly on the side, not saying a word. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think of the previous incident again, could it really be that he really disliked what he painted, right?
