4. The spirit of detachment

Dad Yang behind me suddenly let out a strange scream, and I quickly turned around and grabbed Dad Yang's fat body that almost rushed out of the coarse salt circle.

At the same time, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared above my head. I hurriedly looked up at Xiangshang, and saw that the moth had come directly above me and Dad Yang at some point, and kept flapping its wings, and as its wings flapped up and down, pieces of black powder slowly fell like black snow.

I don't know what the consequences of this powder will be when it falls on me, but Qiao Wei didn't let me run away, so I don't think it should matter. So I stood still and didn't move, and my left hand also let go of Daddy Yang, and at the same time pulled the lasso from my waist and threw it towards the big black moth in the air.

Although the lasso was thin and the weight of the heavy moth at both ends was also very light, when it hit the body of the moth in the air, it seemed to have the power of ten thousand pounds, and it suppressed the large moth with a length of two meters in one fell swoop. The big black moth drew a parabola with the inertia of the lasso, and Zuihou fell to the ground ten meters away.

As soon as the black moth landed, Qiao Wei immediately shook his hand at the moth, and a burning rune paper slammed into the ground not far in front of the big black moth, and then a circle formed by the flame trapped the moth in it.

In an instant, the body of the big moth spewed out countless tiny flying insects in all directions, and these small flying insects were all swallowed by the surrounding ring of fire after flying less than a meter away, and Zuihou only left a man with a naked body on the ground.

The man's eyes stared at the ceiling with no expression on his face, and his body stiffened in a fixed position. I don't know if Qiao Wei's rune paper was immobilizing, or if the noose I threw trapped him, but the man was lying motionless anyway, as if he was no longer a threat to us.

At this time, Dad Yang, who was behind me, suddenly shouted: "Then that...... That's my son!! ”

After shouting, Dad Yang was about to run outside the salt ring, and I hurriedly went over and grabbed him.

Qiao Wei also turned his head to Dad Yang and said, "You'd better not come over, he's very dangerous!" ”

"Danger? He's my son! How could he be a danger to me? Also, why did he just turn into a bug?!! Dad Yang asked in surprise.

"The specific situation is still unclear, have you or your family heard of the legend of the black moth? Or is it someone who believes in some evil god or something? Qiao Wei asked.

"Evil gods? Nope! I don't even understand what you're talking about. And the black moth I ...... I'm ...... It's the first time I've seen that thing! Dad Yang replied.

"That's strange, how could it be like this!" Qiao Wei muttered to himself, frowning at the same time.

I will ask Dad Yang that tomorrow Qiao Wei just now, he needs to first determine whether this moth was formed by a ghost in response to his wishes.

The green dragon in the camelwaist village and the big black fish in the same village, I have seen this kind of monster turned into a ghost twice in succession, so the moment I saw the big black moth, I was the first to think of the ghost wish. But the answer given by Dad Yang obviously negated this inference of Qiao Wei and me.

The man lying on the ground should be Qiu Shi's boyfriend Yang Xu, and he is not a living person but a ghost, which can be judged from the black flocculent smoke that constantly overflows from his body.

But what the hell was that black moth before? Qiao Wei doesn't seem to know where it came from!

"You fixed him?" I asked Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei shook his head at me, then put away the fire and untied the noose wrapped around Yang Xu's legs.

I thought that Yang Xu would suddenly jump up and attack people, but Yang Xu didn't move at all, and was still lying there with empty eyes, like a soulless shell. But my analogy is not appropriate, strictly speaking, the one lying in front of us is Yang Xu's soul, and his body doesn't know where it is now.

Qiao Wei squatted beside Yang Xu and frowned tightly, muttering something in a low voice, and at the same time swept the folded yellow paper talismans on Yang Xu's body.

Dad Yang looked anxiously at his son lying on the ground next to me. He seemed to open his mouth to ask about his son's condition, but he was afraid of disturbing Qiao Wei, so he quickly shut his mouth again, and at the same time he didn't dare to step out of the circle I had drawn, so he could only twist around in place.

Qiao Wei chattered beside Yang Xu for ten minutes before stopping. During this period, the spell patterns changed several times, and I even heard Latin, it seems that he took out the exorcism set and used it, but Yang Xu on the ground was always motionless, not even his eyelids and eyeballs moved.

"Are you sure this is your son?" Qiao Wei asked Dad Yang.

"Yes! You can't go wrong! Is he ...... Isn't it ......" Dad Yang tried twice to say that word, but Zuihou still didn't have the courage to say it.

Qiao Wei hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't dare to promise you anything, but judging from the current situation alone, your son should still be alive, but even if he doesn't die, his current situation is probably not good." ”

"Isn't it good? He...... What's wrong with him? ”

"You know the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, right?" Qiao Wei did not directly answer Dad Yang's question, but asked rhetorically.

"I know some."

"Hmm. Lying here should be one of your son's seven spirits! If a person dies, the three souls are scattered, and the seven spirits will naturally disappear with the loss of vitality of the body, and now your son's spirit is still there, which proves that he should not be dead, but the situation of the seven spirits leaving the body is already very unpleasant. ”

"So what should I do now? Can you tell my son what he is doing from this revelation? Dad Yang asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid no one else can do that. All I can do is seal it up and take it away, and if I find your son, I will send it back into his body when the time comes. ”

"So, do you have a way to find my son?"

"Nope! You are mistaken! I mean, if your son is found by the police. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Dad Yang's face was visibly full of disappointment, and it seemed that he didn't seem to believe that the police could find his son.

Qiao Wei didn't ask for Yang's father's opinion again, and directly took a glass hourglass and pressed it on Yang Xu's chest. While chanting the incantation, he drew a pattern in front of Yang Xu's body, and then Yang Xu's figure disappeared all of a sudden, and the glass hourglass that Qiao Wei took out was filled with clouds of black mist.

took away Yang Xu's spirit, Qiao Wei also nodded at Dad Yang, who was standing in the salt circle, and said, "You can come out now, you shouldn't have strange dreams at night." Also, it's better to change the location of your bedroom and change the room with the window facing north. ”

"Hmm...... Haode, thank you for your help. What about the soul of my Yang Xu...... No, it's a spirit, it's right there for you? When Dad Yang asked, his eyes kept looking at the hourglass in Qiao Wei's hand.

"My advice is to don't leave this with you, strictly speaking, it's not your son, and I can't understand your feelings for him, once it is not saved and then released, it will probably hurt you at that time." Although Qiao Wei said that it was a suggestion, he had already put the glass hourglass in his pocket in his hand, and he didn't mean to give it to Dad Yang at all.

Dad Yang was also quite persuasive, he sighed, and then nodded in agreement.

After returning to the living room on the first floor, Dad Yang asked Qiao Wei how to charge for helping this time.

Before, we asked Qiushi's parents for 10,000, and we couldn't change the number on the Yang family's side, so Qiao Wei also replied to receive 10,000.

Dad Yang readily agreed, and directly transferred the money to the public account of the detective agency that Qiao Wei and I opened together.

Before leaving, Qiao Wei left a business card of the detective agency to Yang's father, telling him that if there are strange dreams at night, call us immediately, and the follow-up services are free. Dad Yang and Mom Yang hurriedly thanked Qiao Wei again, but I didn't see a trace of relief in their eyes. Obviously, they definitely care more about their son's safety than they care about themselves.

After leaving the Yang family, Qiao Wei and I also said goodbye to Qiushi's father temporarily.

There are no outsiders, and I immediately asked Qiao Wei what Yang Xu's situation was, and with my understanding of Qiao Wei, his expression already showed that the matter was definitely much more serious than what he told Yang Dad. And I also have a certain understanding of ghosts, and the black moth can't be explained by the knowledge of ghosts and gods that I currently have.

Sure enough, Qiao Wei replied with a stern expression: "The human soul belongs to yin, and the spirit belongs to yang, strictly speaking, these two are independent of each other, especially the spirit, which completely exists in the physical body. When a person is about to die, the body begins to lose its vitality, and at this time, the seven spirits begin to weaken at the same time and eventually disappear, to put it simply, it is almost impossible for the spirit to be separated from the body, let alone become like a ghost, and also appear in human form. ”

"And what's going on now?"

"'Almost', that's the point of this 'almost'! As far as I know, there is only one way to force out the seven spirits of a person, and that is to reverse the five elements of yin and yang, and turn the body and soul upside down, but in this way, even if the person is still alive, he is definitely not the same person as before. ”

"What could that be?" When I asked this question, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable all over my body, as if I felt a cold wind blowing through my sweat pores.

"I think it might be more vivid to describe it with another rank - magic." Qiao Wei replied.
