"I don't know why this happened, the only thing I know for sure is that it had a lot to do with the necklace he was wearing." Qi Xiaoting went on to explain:

"Your son died seven days ago, his soul is locked by a necklace, and he can't go into the underworld to report, and the bead pendant on this chain is sucking up his ghost qi, and when the ghost qi is sucked out, your dead son can't even be a ghost, he will become a virtual soul wandering outside the Three Realms."

"What will happen then?" Lan Genwang asked puzzled.

Qi Xiaoting looked up at the lonely soul in the air, and said resolutely: "He will suffer the pain of loneliness, and he will never be able to live forever!" ”

Lan Genwang: "Then the decision you asked me to make was ......"

Qi Xiaoting: "Or you let him go on like this, let people use evil methods to turn your son's corpse into a snake, and the soul is divided into two halves, half of which is ghostly, and let others manipulate him, I don't know what he will do;

"The other half has become an empty soul, wandering between the gaps of the Three Realms, without birth or death, without impermanence. Both of these are not tolerated by the way of heaven, and they will suffer terribly. ”

Lan Genwang: "What if you save him?" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Use realgar wine to stop him from changing into a snake, I will find a way to force his sucked ghost qi back into his soul, and then cut off the chains, remove the evil magic, and let your son's soul go to the underworld to report." Enter the cycle of life and death that normal people have to face. ”

Lan Genwang burst into tears when he heard this: "You say this, don't my sons have to die?" ”

Qi Xiaoting nodded: "One is normal death, the soul goes to the underworld to report and enters reincarnation." One is to let it develop, the body becomes a snake, and the soul is not as good as death, and it is not born or die. You decide. ”

"Do we have any other options?" Lan Xinglong's mother looked at the child silently for a long time with tears in her eyes, and finally spoke.

Qi Xiaoting shook her head: "I know it's cruel, but we have no other way. ”

At this time, the midwife Xia Gu brought more than half a bottle of realgar wine.

Qi Xiaoting took it, and before he could get closer, Lan Xinglong trembled violently in his mother's arms.

Seeing this, Lan Xinglong's mother cried "whining".

Qi Xiaoting also had tears in her eyes. She fully understands that even if she knows that the alienated body in front of her is no longer her son, it is her nature to cut off the mother-son relationship that is connected by flesh and blood no matter what.

What is the man's endurance, Lan Genwang looked at his son's shaking body and was silent for a long time, stroked his wife's hair, and said softly:

"Listen to the divine doctor, since it is the child's life, we can't help it, the Taoist did let the child wake up, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of ending, I hate him from the bottom of my heart, and now I hope the child's soul can be at peace."

After speaking, he turned to Qi Xiaoting: "I'm really sorry, we are too indecisive." Divine doctor, I listen to you, you ...... Save my son's soul!! ”

Qi Xiaoting gave him a thumbs up: "It's okay, human nature, I'm glad you made the right decision." Then, I will wipe his body with realgar wine. ”

Lan Genwang nodded.

Lan Xinglong's mother also stopped crying when she saw this.

Lan Xinglong on the bed seemed to understand, and suddenly twitched violently on the bed.

Qi Xiaoting: "We have to hurry." Maybe the situation will be a little scary, as parents, should you avoid it? ”

said it was terrifying, but it was actually miserable or similar, Qi Xiaoting was afraid that the two of them would not be able to stand it. After all, this is their child.

Lan Genwang shook his head: "Family, let's send this child on the last ride." With that, he pulled his wife away from the bed and stood still.

Qi Xiaoting nodded, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and poured some realgar wine into the palm of her hand.

Lan Xinglong trembled even more, and Li Hong hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his body.

Qi Xiaoting first used realgar wine to draw a king character on Lan Xinglong's forehead, comparing it to a fierce tiger to deter evil charms.

"Ah......h

The body let out a heart-rending roar, writhing and muttering.

Li Hong pressed him desperately, and sweat was already on his head.

Qi Xiaoting was already mentally prepared, but she was also scared into a cold sweat. But the movements of his hands did not stop, starting from the soles of Lan Xinglong's feet, and smearing them inch by inch.

Qi Xiaoting looked back at Lan Genwang and his wife, only to see Lan Xinglong's mother pinning her head behind her husband's back, her body trembling, her shoulders twitching one by one, and she couldn't cry.

Lan Genwang's face was pale, but his eyes were very firm, and the hands of the two people were held tightly, and their joints were already white......

With Qi Xiaoting's progress, where the realgar wine was placed, with a terrible shout, the green patterns on the body began to recede, replaced by a miserable white flesh color.

That's the color of a dead man......

In a few minutes, Qi Xiaoting had successfully forced back the soul that had been sucked into the bead pendant, and then instilled it into the void soul in mid-air. The body on the bed had completely reverted to the state of a dead man, and there was no longer life.

Qi Xiaoting sat up straight and quietly looked at the soul in mid-air.

After a while, the half-empty soul slowly became substantial, no longer as empty as before, and then he moved.

"Great." Qi Xiaoting blurted out.

The others couldn't see the half-empty soul and were startled by Qi Xiaoting's reaction.

Qi Xiaoting let out a long breath and pointed to the air: "His soul has finally recovered." ”

Lan Genwang and his wife's eyes widened when they pointed at Qi Xiaoting, and they couldn't see anything, and their faces showed disappointment and sadness that could not be concealed.

"Can Rumble see us now?" Lan Genwang asked Qi Xiaoting.

Qi Xiaoting: "He can see you, but he can't communicate with you." ”

At this time, Lan Xinglong's soul was already able to dangle on the chain, looked around, and said happily to Qi Xiaoting: "Thank you, big sister, you scared me just now, I dreamed that I was going to turn into a snake!" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Don't be afraid, everything is over." I'll cut this chain for you, and you'll be free. ”

Qi Xiaoting came to the bedside, carefully observed the chain, and pulled it with her hand, which was quite strong. Although it seems to be substantial, it is a channel made of mental power, and ordinary people can't see or touch it at all.

The necklace was tightly attached to the chest of Lan Xinglong's corpse, and Qi Xiaoting pinched it with her hand, but she didn't move. It seems that if you want to take it off, you will inevitably hurt your body, considering that the Lan family and his wife have already suffered trauma, Qi Xiaoting didn't want to hurt the child's flesh and skin in front of them, so she didn't forcibly take it down.

Quietly took out the scissors given by Bian Xiangu from the space with his mind, secretly used his mental power, focused all his energy on the scissors, aimed at the chain, and cut it with a pair of scissors.

In the eyes of the midwife Aunt Xia and the Lan family, Qi Xiaoting suddenly "grew" a pair of scissors in her hand and cut it at the void.

The chains disappeared after they broke, and even the lock on Lan Xinglong's chest that was floating was gone, and Lan Xinglong cheered and floated around the room.

Qi Xiaoting was stumbled by the huge spiritual power that came back. If she hadn't been sitting on the edge of the kang, I'm afraid that this blow would have made her fall to the ground.

Qi Xiaoting stabilized her emotions for a while, and then used the tip of the scissors to cut the necklace around the neck of Lan Xinglong's corpse on the chuang.

With a "snap", the necklace was cut, and with the vibration of the scissors, the broken necklace was also detached from the flesh.

It's finally done!

Qi Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief. picked up the necklace and said to Lan Genwang, "Do you still want to send that old Taoist over?" ”

Lan Genwang said angrily: "Isn't he harming the child? I'll have to settle accounts with him. As he spoke, he picked up the broken necklace and was about to go out.

Qi Xiaoting stopped him: "Don't worry about looking for him first, the child's soul has just recovered, and he won't stay here for long." You keep watch over him for a while, and I'll go outside and rest, and then we'll talk about what's going on. ”

Lan Genwang nodded, suppressing his anger.

While everyone was guarding Lan Xinglong, Qi Xiaoting came to the hall, sat at the table of the Eight Immortals and pretended to rest, and was busy asking Long Yi.

Qi Xiaoting: "Now that I have time, you can tell me in detail." It's so weird, I don't even understand what's going on! ”

Ryuichi: "Or continue with the topic just now?" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Well, the more detailed the better." ”

Ryuichi: "There was once a saying that in order to cultivate their own mercenaries, the monsters used evil magic to divide the soul of the recently deceased into two substances, one made him an imaginary soul, but conscious; One becomes the ghost they want, but has no mind, no memory, just a controlled puppet.

"They put the puppet in a bead, the one on the necklace. He controlled him with his mind, telling him to do whatever he wanted, telling him to go to the east and not to the west. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Inhaling ghost qi is just to control him?" ”

Ryuichi: "Yes, as long as his ghost qi is in the bead pendant, he can control him." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Why don't you suck the whole soul away, and let him become a virtual soul?" ”

Ryuichi: "For easy control." If he sucks it all out, he's a complete ghost, with memories and thoughts. There are too many ghosts, so it's hard to control, isn't it? His purpose is to be an obedient mercenary, not a ghost with the ability to think. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "A mercenary who has no thinking ability is completely controlled by the ghost qi in the hands of the caster?" ”

Ryuichi: "That's right! He has the ghost of the victim in his hands, and he tells the victim to do whatever he wants. Because the victim is already a shell, he can't move without the command of the ghost, and the ghost is in the hands of the caster. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "How many mercenaries can he command?" I mean...... For example, the snake demon is old. ”

Ryuichi: "It's hard to say, it depends on how many mercenaries he has received." Few, dozens, hundreds, thousands, no problem. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Isn't this a command to fight a war?" ”

Ryuichi: "The principle is the same. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Where are so many mercenaries for him to control?" ”
