Chapter 3 Traveling to Xiangxi

Consciousness gradually surfaced, a cold wind blew in the night, the force that strangled my neck disappeared, I greedily breathed in the fresh, cold air, and after the lobes of my lungs were dilated, there was a feeling of rebirth. Someone called me, "Lu Zuo Lu Zuo ......" The voice was childish and delicate, crisp like Xu Fuji's halva, I raised my head encouragingly, only to see the apple face and watermelon head blossoms, which reappeared in my arms.

She looked at me with a pair of big, innocent watery eyes, and there were tears welling up in them, overflowing like a well under the moonlight.

Oh my God, I'm back.

The moment I saw this good baby, my heart welled up with endless happiness, and I didn't care about the nervousness of dying just now, so I hugged her hard and held her in my arms. I lay on the ground, Duoduo threw herself in my arms, hugged her, after the mood eased, I could feel a significant difference from before: she was heavy, she used to be light and fluttering like a hydrogen balloon, but now she actually has the soft touch of a child, pressing on me, there is also a weight of more than ten pounds, and she has become warm, although not high, but no longer the existence of nothingness.

And, most importantly - she called me Lu Zuo, she can speak!

She was able to speak.

Suddenly, there was a rush in my heart to share this beauty with someone – I could finally understand the sudden excitement of being a parent and a baby speaking for the first time. I stood up and took Duoduo's little hand, and I had an unreal feeling, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion, but the still burning table on the floor showed that all this was true or false. Something must have happened to Duoduo that caused the performance just now.

Thinking of this, I lowered my head and wanted to communicate with her, but at this sight, I was horrified - Duoduo closed her eyes and lay on her stomach in my arms.

She's a ghost, close her eyes, what's she for?

Comatose?

I used my mind to communicate with her, but no matter how hard I tried, I didn't get any feedback. This sudden problem made me suddenly six gods and no master, what kind of situation is this? There is no answer in the twelve methods, and there is no answer in Luo Ermei's dictation, and I can't find a corresponding way in the experience of more than 20 years of my life, so I just hugged her, patted her, pinched her, kneaded her, recited the mantra of purifying my heart, and tied the seal inside...... and reciting the six vajra mantras of the Padmasambhava of the Buddhist family, all of which are useless.

I was stunned.

I held my soft body, like a doll doll that had lost its life, squinting my eyes and my eyelashes long and cocked. An unprecedented panic spilled over me. A thought came to my confused mind, Duoduo couldn't be ...... It won't be already ...... No, I don't dare to think about this possibility - she has been integrated into my life, my life, and without her, I believe that I will be unhappy and unhappy for the rest of my life, and I will live in memory and negative emotions of self-blame for the rest of my life.

At this time, the lights in the courtyard of the Huang family's mansion turned on, and then the sound of someone talking, and the barking of dogs, and in the distance, someone's shouting—it was the person who was glared away by me just now who called the security joint defense team. I didn't care about packing up the things here, wrapped the unconscious Duoduo in the cloth on the spirit flag, turned around and ran, she was a spirit, but she also had quality and temperature...... However, there is no consciousness. This also means that the little girl can't take the initiative to return to the locust wood card on my chest!

This is really an extremely inconvenient thing.

When I returned to the forestry guest house where I lived, it was night, I didn't sleep all night, my mind seemed to be knotted, a mess of numbness, I felt that I had lost something important, my whole body was soft, I couldn't lift my energy, and I had no thoughts. It wasn't until about six o'clock in the morning that I fell asleep, but after a while, I heard the sound of a baby crying...... The voice seemed to come out of my heart, with a chill, seeping into every pore of my body.

I woke up to see Duo Duo hanging at the foot of my bed, floating in the air, the rune-painted spirit banner tossed aside by her, and then looked at me. Her little face presents a natural and chubby cuteness, but there is almost no expression, two eyes, one is a bewitching pure red, which makes people imagine the boundless sea of blood at a glance, and the other eye, black and bright, contains sincere feelings.

Her little hand, flat, stretched out, was reaching out to me with great difficulty, little by little.

This posture seems to be trying to pinch me.

I looked at her, there was no panic in my heart, from that black eye, I could see the real Duoduo, she had a strong attachment and trust to me, at this moment, in her body, or in the spirit body, there should be two thoughts fighting, one is the little ghost Duoduo I know, and the other is the earth soul infected by the demonic energy of the demon tree. A few hours ago, it was Duoduo who had the upper hand and let himself pass out, so at this moment, who was it?

I looked at Duo Duo calmly, not at all worried that she would hurt me again.

How could Duoduo hurt Lu Zuo?

Finally, I saw a trace of pain and distortion on her face as clean as Duoduo's ceramics, constantly transforming, and finally, she shouted at me: "Brother Lu Zuo, seal me......" - what, she called me brother? This was my first reaction, and then I quickly asked, Duoduo, what's wrong with you? She gritted her teeth and said that there was a bad guy in her body, who wanted to suck blood, eat meat, and suck the essence and soul of living people, this bad guy was too fierce, she couldn't beat it, let me seal her in the Huaimu card, so as not to do something wrong.

The so-called seal, this technique is in the "Twelve Methods of Suppressing the Mountains", and the miscellaneous hair trail also came with a set when I gave me the Huai Mu card, but my mana is not enough, my mind is not strong, and a person who reiterates the mantra hard, and it can't be done. Seeing her painful look at this moment, I didn't say a word, immediately knotted my handprint, used the guide to decide, Duoduo shook her little body and struggled for a long time, and got into it in the last place.

The locust wood sign on my chest suddenly sank.

After the mutation, Duoduo became a little heavier, and even the locust wood card of sustenance was a little heavy.

My mind sank in, and I found that this little guy had also entered a deep sleep—that is, the realm of "nothing" without feedback.

At that moment, my face must have been as bitter as Coptis chinensis. The fat insect fell asleep because this little thing was greedy, and he gnawed the demon fruit clean, and Duoduo, the little girl was very well-behaved and cute, and she also showed several times in advance that she hated the mutated ten-year soul revival grass, but I ignored it again and again, thinking that I was good to her, and the result was ...... In the end, I still hurt her.

Will she be like the Golden Silkworm Gu, sleeping all the time and not waking up?

Or do you wake up once in a while, and then get entangled in the two consciousnesses in your body and suffer?

Luo Ermei said that people have three souls, and the heavenly soul disappears when it dies, and the ethereal asks the sky, and the remaining two souls, because it comes from one source, the fusion core can be easily achieved with the help of the medicinal power of the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill (especially the Ten Years Soul Rejuvenation Grass). However, the situation at this moment is that the earth soul is infected by the demonic energy, and in turn competes with the main human soul for the control of the spirit body...... Alas, I knew this earlier, I sold the mutated ten-year soul revival grass to the little Japanese son, not only did not do today's thing, but also got two million out of thin air, and I had the funds to find the real ten-year soul reviving grass - at worst, I found one for a year or two myself, and then cultivated, and then recalled the earth soul to the little girl after seven or eight years......

Therefore, there is no "if" in this world, once you think of it, there are countless regrets in your heart.

I sat in my room for more than an hour, and received a call from the miscellaneous hairy trail in Jiangcheng, in which he said that he had a very bad dream, dreaming that Duoduo had suffered a disaster and was set on fire by a red fire tree, and wailed. When he woke up, he was so frightened and uneasy that he called me and asked me if there was anything wrong with me, otherwise he wouldn't have had such dreams. He was firm, and I was so depressed that I told him everything. He was furious and scolded on the other end of the phone, saying that you stupid X, why didn't you stop when you found out that the pill was not normal, why did you gamble with Duoduo's life for nothing?

I let him scold, and I felt that I was scolded so badly, and I felt a little better in my heart.

After scolding, Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao asked about Duoduo's current situation, and muttered for a long time, saying that he was not good at learning and was not specialized in this direction, and then he was kicked out of the division, and there was no one to ask for advice. However, he mentioned before that he knew a colleague in Xiangxi who also raised ghosts, and he also had some attainments in this area, otherwise, he would contact that friend and see what he said.

Hope rose in my heart, and I even said yes.

Twenty minutes later, he called again, saying that he had told the colleague, and he reluctantly agreed to take a look, but asked me to rush over. The man was in Alaying Town, Fenghuang, Xiangxi, and said that it was best to hurry up, he still had a business to do in a few days, and he might not be there. I said okay, how can I contact him when the time comes? Miscellaneous Xiaodao gave me a number, it was a landline, and when I got to Phoenix County, I just called the person, just that.

I hung up the phone and immediately packed up, and because it was only a temporary stay, I didn't bring any luggage. I called my parents and said that I needed to take a trip to Phoenix Ancient City and that I needed to leave home for a few days. My mother complained, saying that it was cold and freezing in the first lunar month, so why did she think about it and run there? I was kind of talking, smiling, and I didn't dare to tell the truth. Then I notified Ma Haibo and the others, and by the time I called Huang Fei, I had already taken the first bus from the county seat to Huaihua.

She complained about how I sneaked away, and said that she was going to ask me to go to the city for a few days. I just comforted her, saying that in the future, there will be opportunities in the future. She also told me that there was a fire outside her uncle's house last night, and someone was burning the table, and there were fish and meat and other sacrifices on the ground. - Yesterday happened to be the death day of her cousin Huang Duoduo, is there anything special about this? Is someone trying to harm their family?

I smiled bitterly, I can't admit it myself, it's just perfunctory, saying that it doesn't exist, it's okay.

She didn't follow, saying that she knew me as a powerful character, so I must take a look.

I said nothing, but she didn't agree, so I was helpless, so I promised her that when I came back, I could help his uncle's house have a look, and invited her to eat steak at a Western restaurant in the city. This phone call almost ran out of battery on my phone. The car circled the mountain road for 5 hours, then changed trains until 6 p.m., and I arrived at the famous Phoenix Ancient City.
