Chapter 24: Lost Soul
After slapping the river dozens of times in a row, Li Yuan withdrew his claws.
Not far from the middle of the river, a red figure swam over, bringing ripples.
Swimming to the river, the carp spirit poked its head out of the water and spat out a few bubbles mischievously.
The water bubble floated into the air and exploded in front of Li Yuan, and small droplets splashed on his face.
"Grunt... (The cat hasn't been here for a long time, I hate it!) Dislike! )”
Li Yuan didn't go down the mountain for more than a month, and the carp spirit was like a child, and he was aggrieved and angry.
"Meow meow... (Little carp, I brought you something delicious.) )”
According to the experience of coaxing children in his previous life, Li Yuan used the wind control technique to control the small bamboo basket to float on the water, half sideways, and showed the river shrimp inside to the carp essence.
Seeing the delicious food, the carp spirit really stopped being angry, jumped out of the water, grabbed a river shrimp, and fell back into the water.
The cute appearance of the carp essence greedy made Li Yuan laugh, and he used the Five Elements Spell to control the flow of water in the river, forming a wall of water around the little guy.
Still swallowing river shrimp in his mouth, the carp essence discovered Li Yuan's actions.
"Goo... Gurg... (Cats...) What do cats do? "There is still food in the mouth, and the carp spirit does not speak very coherently.
"Meow meow... (I fenced this place, and the shrimp couldn't run when they got into the water.) Li Yuan explained aloud.
After speaking, Li Yuan controlled the small bamboo basket to dump and poured all the river shrimp inside into the water.
"Grunt... (Cats are smart!) Cats are amazing! )”
The carp spirit looked at the food around it and swam happily.
After waiting for the carp essence to eat all the river shrimp and chatting with the little guy for a while, Li Yuan said goodbye.
Before leaving, Li Yuan taught him some more experiences from his recent cultivation, and pointed out one or two carp essences, which made this little guy love him very much.
Under the reluctant gaze of the carp spirit, Li Yuan left the riverside.
Back in the town, Li Yuan, who had nothing to do, strolled down Binjiang Street and walked in the direction of the mountain.
From Binjiang Street, walk through East Street, and you will find West Street, the highest point in the town.
At the end of West Street, there is a path up the mountain, where Pan Dayuan's house is.
Walking by here, Li Yuan happened to meet Pan Dayuan, who was going out with his mother.
"Blackie!"
Holding his mother, just after walking out of the house, Pan Dayuan saw Li Yuan.
Stopping and standing in the middle of the street, Li Yuan looked over.
"Meow!"
Li Yuan shouted a few times at the mother and son, which was counted as a response.
With Li Yuan's last recuperation, Pan Dayuan's mother's face is much better, and her body is a little tougher.
"Blackie, have you had lunch? Do you want to come with us? ”
Today's salary was paid, and his mother's health was much better, so the filial Pan Dayuan thought about taking his mother out for a walk and going to the restaurant to eat something good.
Looking at the mother and son in front of him, Li Yuan thought of Aunt Zhang in the morning again, sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head at Pan Dayuan, and left.
"Da Yuan, is this the civet cat raised by Lin Daochang?" Pan Dayuan's mother asked out loud when she saw Li Yuan's humane behavior.
"Yes, mother!" Pan Dayuan hurriedly replied.
"In the future, if you remember to be close to Xiao Hei, you will definitely be blessed!" The wisdom of perennial life made Pan Dayuan's mother tell her son.
"I remember, mother!" Pan Dayuan replied honestly.
Leaving the mother and son, Li Yuan walked out of West Street and entered the path up the mountain.
All the way forward, he came to a junction that turned into the mountain, and Li Yuan stopped again.
Looking up from the intersection, the old Taoist priest was walking down with Lin Yingying and a middle-aged man with an anxious look on his face.
"Blackie! Blackie! Holding Master's hand, Lin Yingying noticed Li Yuan's figure.
Withdrawing her little hand from the old Taoist's hand, Lin Yingying jumped down quickly, and rushed to the intersection.
"What a coincidence! Blackie! I'm going to look for you in town. ”
As she spoke, Lin Yingying had already hugged Li Yuan into her arms.
Li Yuan looked at the little guy, his head poked out of her arms again, and looked at the old Taoist priest and middle-aged man behind Lin Yingying.
What's going on here?
When Li Yuan was puzzled, the old Taoist priest and the middle-aged man had already reached the intersection.
"Yingying, you hold Xiao Hei, let's go!"
Taking advantage of the old Taoist priest's ability to speak, he secretly used Li Yuan, who was gifted with supernatural powers, to basically understand what was going on.
The middle-aged man, surnamed Wang, was the housekeeper of a merchant in the town who specialized in the medicinal herb business.
The merchant, also surnamed Wang, had an only son, who had just been crowned, and yesterday morning he and his friends went hunting in the mountains, and somehow fainted.
Fortunately, his friend was still righteous, and he resisted all the way and brought him back.
When the merchant saw that his only son was unconscious, he was naturally very worried, and hurriedly invited Lang Zhong from the medical hall.
Langzhong in the town was not cured, and he came to Langzhong in the county overnight, but it was still useless.
Seeing that several Langzhong were invited, they were helpless and could not cure their only son, the merchant thought of the old Taoist priest and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to invite.
The medicinal herb merchant, who has a small net worth, lives on Binjiang Street, not far from the Pan family's mansion.
When he came to the gate of the Wang family's house, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door, and respectfully invited the old Taoist priest in.
Walking into the courtyard, Li Yuan had already faintly heard the woman's crying, and the courtyard was also slightly chaotic.
"Sir! Master! I invited Chief Lin back. ”
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the butler immediately shouted, and walked quickly towards the big house.
Hearing the commotion, the merchant arranged for the maidservant to take the weeping lady back to the inner room to rest, and walked out briskly by himself.
"Chief Lin Dao! The dog is still unconscious, and I bother you to come to the rescue, whether it is successful or not, there will be a good reward! The merchant walked up to the old Taoist priest with a haggard face and a melancholy face.
"Needless to say, lead the way!" The old Taoist priest replied and said calmly.
"Please!" The merchant hurriedly stretched out his hand sideways and pointed the way.
The merchant was in front, the old Taoist priest and Lin Yingying, and Li Yuan were in the middle, and the housekeeper followed behind.
The group walked through the big house, into the inner courtyard, and came to the room where the merchant's son was lying.
Walking into the room, a smell of medicine greeted me, apparently used in the previous treatment.
Walking to the side of the bed, the old Taoist priest bent down to reach out his hand, checked the pulse, and used his yin and yang eyes to check the situation.
Like the old Taoist priest, Li Yuan stayed in Lin Yingying's arms, and his eyes lit up with gray light.
"Soul is not complete!"
"Lost soul!"
The front is what Li Yuan said in his heart, and the back is what the old Taoist priest said to the businessman.
Hearing the old Taoist priest's words, the merchant's eyes went dark and he almost fell, but fortunately he was held back by the butler behind him.
"Sir! Master! You can't have an accident! Holding the merchant, the butler cried.
Seeing this, the old Taoist priest stepped forward and cast a spell, and poured a little true yuan into the merchant's body.
The merchant woke up in an instant, and with the support of the butler, he stepped forward and grabbed the old Taoist's hand.
"Chief Lin Dao! I beg you, I beg you, and you must heal him. If he's gone, his mother and I won't be able to live. ”
As he spoke, the merchant began to cry.
"Lord Wang and rest assured, your son has lost his soul, and there is one soul and two souls missing in his body, as long as he can be retrieved within 7 days, there will be no big problem."
Hearing the old Taoist's words, the merchant calmed down a little, and also let go of the hand that was holding the old Taoist, but his eyes were still full of pleading, and he looked at the old Taoist priest deadly.
"I'm going to do a ritual in the courtyard tonight to see if I can bring back your son's soul. If it doesn't work, let's go into the mountains to search again, and Lao Dao will definitely try his best to find your son's soul. After pondering for a while, the old Taoist priest said his plan.
With the words of the old Taoist priest, the merchant breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Daoist Lin, if you need anything to do things, just open your mouth, and I will let people prepare it immediately." ”
