Chapter 22: Turning Lives
He Lingjiang stood under the porch, looking at the courtyard of Concubine Sun from afar.
It was getting dark, and I don't know when the snow was falling.
Snowflakes flutter and fall. The lights and shadows in the house were hazy, a cold wind blew, and the candles under the corridor swayed gently, adding a bit of confusion in the dusk.
She couldn't help but squint her eyes and asked, "Gorou-kun hasn't woken up yet?" ”
Qiong Zhi, who was waiting behind her, replied, "Not yet." Gorou-kun drank the medicine prescribed by the doctors during the day, but it didn't work. At dusk, Madame invited the Taoist of Yunjuguan to come, and I didn't know the situation at this time. ”
He Ling Jiang groaned slightly, and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
"Seventh lady, Mrs. has ordered that the little lady and the gentlemen stay in their own courtyard and are not allowed to go out for the time being......"
He Lingjiang raised his hand to stop her words: "It's okay. ”
With that, she walked towards the courtyard of the concubine Sun, Qiong Zhi stomped her feet, and had to hold an umbrella to follow.
The wind at night wrapped the snow and blew in his face, and Qiongzhi tilted the paper umbrella, but it couldn't stop the snowflakes that were swept in by the wind.
It must be the last snow of this winter, so it rains so wantonly.
The courtyard was silent, except for the sound of snowflakes falling.
Xu is because the situation of Wulangjun is not very good, and the servants and maids do things lightly, for fear of startling people, and when they saw the seventh lady coming in, they hurriedly saluted.
He Lingjiang waved his hand and motioned for them to go and get busy.
She walked straight to the eaves, shook off the snowflakes from her dress, and then lifted her feet into the house.
When Song saw her, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Ling Jiang, why are you here?" ”
He Lingjiang said: "I'll come and take a look." ”
"Didn't you all stay in the courtyard and not run around?" Song's tone was a little bad.
It's a busy time, and these juniors come over, just to add to the chaos.
He Xiangshan heard the voice and also walked out: "Why is Ling Jiang here?" ”
"I'll come and see Ah Yu."
She looked at He Xiangshan with a tired face and asked, "Grandpa has never rested?" ”
He Xiangshan sighed: "Where can I sleep?" ”
He Lingjiang nodded: "Grandpa should also pay attention to his body, after all, you have not fully recovered." ”
He Xiangshan didn't say anything more, just sat on the stool next to the table, silent.
The Song family had just coaxed Concubine Sun to rest, she cried in front of He Ziyu's bed for a day, and if it continued like this, Wu Langjun would not be good, and she would not be able to do it herself.
She had the heart to persuade He Xiangshan two more words, but she knew that it was useless, so she had to swallow the words and sit down at the table herself.
Daoist Xuanwei has been in for a long time, and he doesn't know what the situation is.
At night, it was so quiet that I could only hear the sound of snow outside the house.
He Lingjiang sat at the table, pinched the trick with his left hand hanging under the table, drew two talismans in the void, and with a slight lift, the invisible talisman fell towards He Xiangshan and the Song family.
After a while, two gentle breaths sounded in the room.
He Xiangshan and Song were already lying on the table and fell asleep.
He Lingjiang stood up, took off two cloaks from the hanger next to the door and covered them with them, and then walked inside.
Inside the house, Xuanwei Daoren's spell had just ended, and he slowly stood up with the support of Dao Tong.
"Master, what's going on with this Xiao Langjun of the He family?" The round-faced little Taoist asked.
Xuanwei Taoist wiped the fine sweat on his forehead: "It's a lost soul." ”
"Since you've lost your soul, why don't you just take it back?"
The small-eyed Dao Tong interrupted him: "Can Master not know?" Looking at the master's appearance, it is estimated that this time the matter is a little tricky, so it was not done. ”
Xuanwei Daoist also sighed: "This time it is a little tricky. ”
was sighing with emotion, but heard a cold voice asking, "Dao Chang may solve it?" ”
When the Xuanwei Daoist heard the prestige, he saw a beautiful girl with a pale face walking in.
Puzzled, he asked, "Are you?" ”
He Lingjiang's voice was soft: "The Seven Ladies of He Mansion, He Lingjiang." ”
She asked again, "In the current situation, the Dao Chief may solve it?" ”
Xuanwei Daoren looked a little uncomfortable: "It's still a little difficult, Golang-kun is not as simple as losing his soul." According to Poor Dao, he should have also fallen for an evil spell called the Seven Star Turning Technique. ”
He Lingjiang walked to the bed, looked at He Ziyu who was lying quietly, and felt his heart.
"The so-called life transfer technique is to forcibly transfer a person's life span to others, which is a method of continuing life that violates the way of heaven. There have also been people who have been ill for a long time, and they have used this technique to transfer the symptoms of their body to others, and the Chinese surgeon will have the symptoms of that person, but the person who borrowed his life can steal the health of others and gradually recover. ”
"This technique once appeared in the previous dynasty, but because it violated the ethics of heaven, it was later listed as a forbidden technique by the Xuanmen."
"Ah Yu was hit by this operation, so he was obviously in good health on weekdays, but now he has symptoms of long-term illness and weakness, and loss of qi and blood. Come to think of it, the person who changed his life with him should be a man who has been sick for a long time. ”
"But unlike usual, Ah Yu's three souls and six spirits are still detained, so he will be inexplicably unconscious."
Xuanwei Daoist was surprised: "He Qi Niangzi is also familiar with occult arts? ”
"I know a little bit about it."
"Then according to the Seven Niangzi, what should I do?"
He Lingjiang didn't answer, but asked him instead: "Dao Chang Fang Cai first collected the soul for Ah Yu?" ”
Xuanwei Daoist nodded, and said with a ashamed expression: "It's just that this soul seems to be restrained by a powerful force, and it can't be recovered." ”
He Ling Jiang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said, "The Dao Chief's steps are wrong. ”
"Wrong?"
"Most of the Xuanshi saw that someone had been hit by the life transformation technique, and they also lost their spirits and fainted. The first reaction must be to collect the soul first, and then slowly solve the technique, so it is just in vain. ”
She glanced at Xuanwei Daoren, "I think the Dao Chang should have been injured?" ”
Xuanwei Daoist nodded, he was counterattacked when he collected the soul and cast the spell, but he just endured it.
"That's where the trick comes in. He uses the soul of the sorcerer as bait, but secretly manages to make the person who tries to collect the soul be eaten by his own spell. The other party was injured, and he couldn't collect his soul, let alone solve it. ”
Xuanwei Taoist said strangely: "Then according to the seventh lady, what should it be?" ”
He Lingjiang's expression was blank, and he said, "Solve the technique first." ”
Xuanwei Daoist was surprised: "I'm afraid this is ...... It's harder. ”
Metaphysics is easy to cast and difficult to solve. If you want to solve other people's spells, you need to be at least equally skilled, not to mention skilled.
If you want to perform mystical arts, you don't just need to get a good exercise, recite the mantra accurately, and do the right actions, among which skill, supernatural powers, and talent and enlightenment play a decisive role.
Some people use the most complicated mantras to draw, and they are powerless to change, but some people can turn decay into magic with a tap of their fingertips, and this is the truth.
He said: "It's so difficult for me to try to collect souls, and the other party managed to eat myself, which shows that the other party's skills are profound." Now it's even more difficult to directly break the other party's seven-star life transformation technique, right? ”
"Afraid of what?" He Lingjiang asked.
Xuanwei Daoist waved his hand again and again: "Poor Dao is not capable enough, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”
He Lingjiang smiled, she slowly spoke, and said, "I can do it." ”
