Chapter Seventy-Nine: Soul Refining (2)
Back at home, Summer hadn't put down the luggage in his hand yet, and Han couldn't wait to ask Purgatory about the specific situation.
Purgatory said that starting the day after Han and Summer left, two wandering spirits, a man and a woman, would disappear every day in the jurisdiction, and it continued until a few days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the suspect disappeared.
The wandering spirits are also lonely souls and wild ghosts, they only wander in the yang world because they can't walk through the ghost gate because their longevity is not exhausted, and they can't be reincarnated for the time being. When their yang life is exhausted, even if the correct time of death comes, they can go to the underworld to be reincarnated.
"Why didn't you commit a crime during the Spring Festival?" Puzzled asked to purgatory.
"I don't know much about this, I haven't found it yet. And because of this, I don't have any clues at all so far? Purgatory replied helplessly.
"That person might have gone home for the New Year, right?" Summer said casually.
"This ...... to is a good explanation. Purgatory said with a laugh.
"So there's no clue at all?" Han then asked.
"It's not like nothing......," Purgatory paused for a moment before continuing, "I learned from the investigation of the missing geyses that they had 7 years left on the day of their disappearance, and that the time of the man's death happened to be the hour of pure yang, and the time of the woman's time was pure yin. ”
"Could it be that someone is refining souls?" Han said without a lack of certainty.
"Soul refining?" Summer and Purgatory looked at Han in surprise at the same time and said.
Summer has been in contact with ghosts for less than a year, and he naturally doesn't know about them, and although Purgatory has been a ghost for more than a hundred years, he is also a newcomer, and he knows very little about the content recorded in the "Wraith Codex" and classical texts.
The so-called soul refining is to collect qualified souls, seal them in the alchemy furnace, and use the blood seal as a contract to refine the three flavors of true fire into a pill.
There are three kinds of fire in the human body: one is the fire of the eye, the second is the fire of the mind, and the third is the fire of the pneumatic, which the ancients called "the three flavors of true fire".
When these three kinds of fire are combined, the mind is aggravated, and the gaze is inseparable, which is called martial fire; The mind is relaxed, and it seems to be nothing, and it is called a simmer. The three-flavor true fire used in "soul refining" is a gentle fire, and only those who rest the Dao can release these three kinds of fire from their bodies.
At present, Han can conclude that this person is "refining souls", but she does not know what kind of elixir to refine. After all, "soul refining" can refine many kinds of pills, can stay young forever, can renew the life of the dead, can enhance one's own ability, and so on.
However, the souls required for the above points are not these conditions, as for what kind of golden pill these souls can refine, Han really doesn't know. Moreover, refining souls is expressly forbidden by the underworld, whether it is a ghost or a living person, it will be punished by the underworld.
Purgatory and Han left after handing over the affairs in the jurisdiction, and he told all the clues he knew about this matter, and he could only rely on Han himself to solve the case.
After purgatory was gone, the cold drove Summer's body to lie on the bed and think about what to do, and Summer also fell asleep because of the fatigue of the past few days.
Not long after lying down, someone rang the doorbell, and the cold drove the summer body to call and see that it was Xu Jiashan. As soon as she saw Summer, she hugged her very intimately and asked questions.
Han was a little surprised and unaccustomed, and after pushing Xu Jiashan away, he said, "Why are you here?" ”
Han was surprised that he and Xia had just arrived home less than an hour, and he didn't expect Xu Jiashan to come so soon. She woke up Summer in her heart and went to the sidelines.
As soon as she saw Xu Jiashan's eyes light up in the summer, she left her tiredness behind. He looked at Xu Jiashan with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Didn't you just ask?"
"Do I have one?" Summer stretched out her finger and said with a sparing face.
"Whether or not, you're going to keep me standing outside the door?" Xu Jiashan said a little unhappily.
"It's not the first time you've been here, so you won't come in?" Summer said as she looked at him with complaining eyes.
"Don't you know I'm thin-skinned and shy?" Xu Jiashan said as she consciously walked into the house and sat on the sofa looking at the summer.
"I really don't see it." After closing the door in the summer, he sat next to Xu Jiashan and said.
"Are you ......" Xu Jiashan glared at Xia Xia and said, "It's the New Year, didn't you bring me a gift or something like that when you came back from your hometown?" ”
"No......," Summer replied, shaking her head.
Xu Jiashan looked at the summer, pouted and said unhappily, "It's in vain that I'm so good to you, since you don't bring me gifts?" ”
"For the Chinese New Year, as a leader, you don't give a red envelope to your subordinates?" Summer asked, spreading her hands in front of Xu Jiashan's eyes.
"If you don't give it to me, why should I give it to you?"
…………
In the afternoon, Summer and Xu Jiashan spent their time in your words and me. Han felt uncomfortable listening to them flirting and scolding, and felt that goosebumps were about to fall to the ground. Xu Jiashan stayed for dinner, but left early because of something.
As soon as Xu Jiashan left, Han breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "This abrasive little goblin is finally gone......
"What's wrong?" Summer asked confusedly.
"It's nothing, the main thing is that your conversation this afternoon is too sensual, and I can't stand it a little." Han said, and at the same time drove Summer's body back to the bedroom, holding the unique communication equipment of the underworld and chatting with Dugu for a long time, the main chat content revolved around "soul refining".
Not long after she hung up, her boss sent a message that two more spirits, a man and a woman, had disappeared in her precinct.
Although she chatted with Dugu for a long time, she didn't get any useful information, and she knew what Dugu said. The disappearance of the wandering spirit again made her fall into a deep confusion, and she really didn't know how to investigate in such a situation.
Even so, you can't just stay at home and wait for the world to drop clues, right? So she decided to go out and try her luck and investigate the identity of the soul by the way.
After almost hanging up last time, Summer was really scared, but when he thought of Han giving up his freedom in order to save him, he felt ashamed of Han, so he let him drive his body at will. Coupled with the fatigue of the past few days, Xu Jiashan rubbed in his ear for another afternoon, he was really tired, and he fell asleep not long after the cold went out.
Han ran around all night, and she found nothing except the identity information of the missing geist and what purgatory told her. As soon as the morning dawned, she drove her summer body back home.
At about half past nine in the morning, I got up in the summer, dressed up carefully, put on the new clothes for the New Year, and went out to the appointment with a happy heart.
