Chapter 210: The Yan Puppet Reappears
I asked Xiao Qinghe, how many such souls have been rescued?
Xiao Qinghe looked at me with a smile, and after a few seconds, he replied with some embarrassment: "Actually...... It's only been a long time, and my experience is not enough, if this mother and son can make it tonight, it will be ...... The second. ”
As soon as I heard that it was the second one, I was a little stunned.
I knew that this goal would be difficult to achieve, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Although on the whole, it is not a long time from Xiao Qinghe and Yang Zhihong to Ghost Gate Town to now, according to the time she said, it should only be ten days ago to become a yin difference and get the sword from Judge Lu, and in ten days, the process from zero to one has been completed, which can barely be regarded as smooth, but, don't forget, her goal is 10,000.
If she continues at this frequency, she will be able to awaken and rescue the evil in a year, about thirty or forty, ten thousand, that is, nearly three hundred years.
And this is just an idealized way, in fact, it is definitely not so stable, and as she progresses little by little, there will only be fewer and fewer murderous souls that can meet the requirements.
Therefore, if she wants to complete the goal of 10,000, it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least 300 years, or even longer.
Besides, this is still calculated by the years and months in the world, and if it is replaced by the time in the underworld, it will be even more terrifying.
You must know that one day in the world is a year in the underworld, but in fact, there is no such thing as a year in the usual sense in the underworld, in layman's terms, it is more like a feeling of ghosts, that is, people live a day, but ghosts feel that a year has passed.
In this way, for Xiao Qinghe, the time it takes to rescue 10,000 murderous souls and get to the underworld is a very terrifying number, and it is impossible to do it without great determination and perseverance.
"The second ...... At this rate, 10,000 will take too long. "Although I know that with Xiao Qinghe's temperament, since I have chosen to do this, I must have enough determination, but when I wake up, I can't help but feel anxious for her, and I don't think it's worth it.
Xiao Qinghe smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry about us, this is my choice, when I made this volunteer, I was already ready, and it will take a long, long time to complete the preparation, so I know what a long process this will be, anyway, it is not like when I was alive, there are only a few decades of time, as long as I can see hope, time is not a problem." ”
After speaking, he showed a shallow, little daughter-like smile: "Do you know, Lu Juan has promised that as long as I complete this goal, I will not only be relieved of the misfortune of bearing the burden, reincarnated as a human being, but also renew the relationship with Zhihong, so it is worth ...... doing so."
I was slightly stunned, then sighed to myself.
In this case, the only thing I can do is to bless them, and help them more if I can.
However, in the face of such a daunting ambition, even if I tried my best, the help I could provide was only a drop in the bucket.
After talking a lot about her and Yang Zhihong, we gradually changed the topic and talked about her meeting me this time and saving the lives of our father and son.
It turned out that Xiao Qinghe successfully dispersed the resentment of the first target and awakened the spiritual wisdom to go to the underworld, which was the night before. After the first success, she was a little happy, so she and Yang Zhihong agreed to take time out of the time to go back to the provincial capital to find me, tell me their encounters, and express their gratitude to me again, and then continue to fulfill their mission.
But the night before yesterday, Xiao Qinghe hadn't even gone to the provincial capital, but on the way, he met a very strange soul, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity for a while, so he temporarily gave up the road and chose to follow the soul secretly.
And the reason why I was aroused by that soul and didn't rush to see me in the provincial capital for the time being was because Xiao Qinghe inexplicably felt a trace of familiarity from that soul's body, and I felt a little similar to me, so I decided to follow it.
"And I...... Somewhat similar? Male or female? Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned and felt a burst of unbelief.
Xiao Qinghe nodded and said: "Female, I don't know what's going on, at first, I thought I was just anxious to see you, so I had an illusion, but soon found out that it was not an illusion, it was the taste of that soul, which was really similar to you, so I wanted to follow up and take a look." ”
Not an illusion, but really similar to me?
I immediately frowned slightly.
After thinking about it for a moment, I felt my heart suddenly tighten, and suddenly I thought of some possibility.
I didn't show it, and after putting away the thought that suddenly came out of nowhere, I asked Xiao Qinghe to continue.
Xiao Qinghe said that although she made this decision in a hurry, due to her miscurrent identity, she was able to hide herself better and was not discovered by that soul.
However, even if he believed that he had not been discovered, but the night before yesterday, after following him all night, Xiao Qinghe found that that strange soul seemed to be wandering around aimlessly, with no place to go at all, and he couldn't see what that soul was going to do.
At the end of the night, she followed the strange and inexplicably powerful soul, and almost turned around the range of the southwestern provinces, until it was almost dawn, and then turned back to the vicinity of the place where she had begun to meet.
Turning back to the starting point, the spirit was in the woods next to a lake, and it stopped moving.
Since it was dawn, all the yin had to return to the underworld and not stay in the yang, so after analyzing it and feeling that that place should be the place where the soul dwelled, Xiao Qinghe left.
As soon as it was night last night, Xiao Qinghe went to the northeast of the provincial capital, two hundred kilometers away, and saw that strange soul again, and followed it aimlessly everywhere again.
This time, the scope of that soul wandering has narrowed a lot, only in the province, but it still doesn't see any purpose.
Following along, Xiao Qinghe began to wonder if she had actually been discovered a long time ago, and the reason why that soul was wandering around was to get rid of her.
With this suspicion, after following for most of the night, she felt that it really didn't look like she had been discovered, so she was patient and decided to follow to see what was going on with that soul and what its purpose was.
In this way, Xiao Qinghe followed that soul, walked through most of the provinces little by little, and in the second half of last night, he gradually came to the east of my hometown county.
At this time, that soul suddenly disappeared, right under Xiao Qinghe's nose.
Finding that this strange soul had disappeared mysteriously, and no trace could be found, Xiao Qinghe's heartstrings suddenly tensed, and he hurriedly looked for it nearby.
However, until the sky was about to dawn, she still couldn't find any trace of that soul, and in desperation, she had to leave again.
As soon as it was dark tonight, Xiao Qinghe came to the place where the soul disappeared again, and after finding nothing, he quickly went to the place where he went at the beginning, and after still no trace, he had to turn back again.
Standing in the place where the soul disappeared, he was distressed that he had lost the target, and the "Doom Sword" in his hand sent her a hint that there was a target that met the requirements nearby.
So Xiao Qinghe had no choice but to put away his distress for the time being, followed the prompt of Du Erjian, and came to my hometown little by little.
However, just after the county seat and came to Xinyang Town, Xiao Qinghe encountered her, sensed that she was an "uninvited guest" breaking in, and then rushed over, preparing to treat her as a general soul who was evil and suppressed.
Entangled with the general's soul, how could he not make it believe in himself, and during the period when he couldn't get rid of it for a while, Xiao Qinghe suddenly sensed an inexplicable summoning power.
Because when I was in the provincial capital, Xiao Qinghe saw me use the spirit map to attract the spirit, and in the end, I drew the "Hell Road Opening Map"
Sent through the Yin Road to the evil ghost town, he was also very familiar with my breath, and soon realized that it was me who was attracting the spirit nearby, so he hurriedly took a violent action, temporarily knocked back the general's soul, and with the power of the Yin Diagram, he came directly to the grave of Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law, and saved our lives from the former.
I will know what happened after that.
So, coming near my hometown and meeting me here was a complete accident.
If she hadn't met that strange soul, she wouldn't have come to this place at all, and I'm afraid I'd really have to give up my life.
Although it seems now that even if she didn't, I could have been lured to the vicinity of my hometown by that strange soul, and I could have attracted the ghost Yaksha again, but the ghost Yaksha is the hellish god who is the main killer, and there is no concept of saving people's lives at all, even if she arrives before Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law strangles me, she may not necessarily know to get me out of the water before she makes a move.
If that really happens, when the ghost eater Yaksha eats the murderous soul of Pan Guanghai's wife and children, the daylily will probably be cold long ago.
So, in addition to Xiao Qinghe's name of saving our father and son, the weird soul that led her to the neighborhood was actually a mistake, and it also saved my life?
Was it a coincidence, or was it a planned plan? Or, is it the auspicious people in the underworld who have their own heavenly appearance?
It appeared strangely, disappeared strangely, and what was even more weird was that the aura was somewhat similar to mine.
Could it be the "beautiful puppet" that our master and apprentice have been looking for for more than ten years?
"It seems that this should be a piece of news that must not be ignored, and the old man must be known as soon as possible, only he can figure out what is going on, it is difficult for me to figure it out by myself......"
Realizing that if Xiao Qinghe's feeling was right and not an illusion, that strange female soul with a somewhat similar aura to me might be the "Yan puppet" who took away my three souls back then, I suddenly felt nervous and excited.
You know, although the old man, after saving me from the general's soul and taking me as a disciple for so many years, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the "Yan puppet", but he has never said a word to me, even if I sometimes can't help but ask, I will be sent away by the old man lightly.
So for the first time in more than ten years, I've really heard information that may be related to "Yan Golem".
"Sister Qinghe, did you say that strange soul is very beautiful, with a bun in her hair, and a simple but eye-catching silver hairpin with three red beads hanging on her head, wearing a light green ancient long skirt embroidered with flower and bird patterns?" I took a deep breath to calm down, and after a moment of hesitation, I still couldn't help asking.
The beautiful silver hairpin with three red beads hanging from it, and the ancient long skirt embroidered with flower and bird patterns are exactly the picture of the "beautiful puppet" I encountered next to the pigsty of the old house on the night of my birth at the age of twelve.
I will never forget this image of the harmful spirit that stole my three souls.
If this image is really this image, it must be a puppet.
It seems a little strange, why did I ask in such detail, Xiao Qinghe was slightly stunned, seeing that my expression was excited, he looked at me seriously for a few seconds before shaking his head lightly and said: "No, that soul is draped in hair, without any decoration on its head, and it is ...... I didn't wear any clothes, but I was really beautiful, and if I saw it at that time, I would definitely be envious and jealous. ”
When I heard that it was not the image I remembered, I was immediately disappointed.
But soon, hope was rekindled.
For souls that have been strong to a certain extent, the image of clothing is not fixed, as long as you are willing, you can change as you like, just like Xiao Qinghe in front of you, so it is not an image in your memory, and it is not necessarily a puppet.
Just looking very beautiful, and another. Silk. If you don't hang this point, it is very appropriate to the word "Yan puppet".
After hesitating and staring at me seriously for a while, Xiao Qinghe asked me in a tentative tone, "You asked in such detail...... Isn't that the soul...... Could it have something to do with your disfigurement? …… If so, can you tell me some? ”
She was extremely evil before, and now she is yin, naturally from the beginning, she has found that my soul is uneven, and it can even be said that there is no soul at all, only the soul, completely protected by the divine breath on the body, so that she has not lost her vitality, just out of knowing that this is my biggest and most reluctant secret to talk to people, so I never asked, pretending not to see it.
At this time, realizing that the strange soul might be related to the lack of my three souls, she had to ask.
Although this is indeed me, I don't want people to know the most, but in fact, it is a "secret" that anyone with Taoism can see, but I still trust Xiao Qinghe enough, so after organizing the language, I told it little by little about the fact that I encountered a puppet back then, was rescued by my master, and saved my life with 12 yuanchen......
Knowing that I had already had bad luck when I was twelve years old, and that I had been living for so many years, Xiao Qinghe was immediately shocked, and when he looked at me, his eyes became a little complicated, and he was full of pity in his softness.
After a while, these emotions dissipated little by little, and were gradually replaced by firmness, and he looked at me and said: "In this case, please rest assured, benefactor, no matter whether that strange soul is a "Yan puppet" who has mutilated you, as long as I give me a little time, I will definitely find her out again and give you an explanation." ”
