Chapter 11: The Missing Soul 2: A Sister Lin fell from the ground

Before Li Jianguo could react, Huang Si's palm suddenly exerted force, got up and turned around and leaned over in one go, his right hand pressed down on the girl's shoulder, his left hand drew the knife in his hand, and the "scandium" sounded against the girl's neck, suppressing the girl under him and unable to move, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" Why approach Lady Lee? ”

The girl struggled desperately, waving her hands and feet indiscriminately: "Let go of me, I won't go with you!" Let go of me! ”

Huang Si cautiously looked the girl up and down, the girl was about twenty years old, with a blue and white light sweater on the upper body and light gray jeans on the bottom, looking like a student who had just entered the society. Her hair was frizzy and disheveled, as if it hadn't been properly groomed for a long time, and there were a few light freckles on either side of her nose, which did not hide the delicate proportions of her face. The one that fell at hand was...... Whisk?

Huang Si looked at the environment around him again, and apart from the girl's screams of struggle, there seemed to be no trace of anyone else's appearance. Huang Si glanced up at the sky.

There is nothing in the sky.

Odd...... Listening to the sound just now, the girl must have fallen from the sky, but there are no towering buildings around.

Could it be that he was thrown over on a catapult?

Huang Si slowly took his hand away, and the girl immediately sat up from the ground, looked left and right at the surrounding environment with innocent eyes, and then looked at Huang Si and Li Jianguo behind him, and struggled to move backwards, trying to distance himself from Huang Si's blade: "Stay away from me!" ”

"Who are you?" Huang Si didn't get any closer to the girl, but just clenched the handle of the knife and turned the handle slightly, the blade of which flashed with the faint light of a torch in the distance.

The girl grabbed the dust and hugged it in front of her, her body was tightly pressed against the pillar, staring nervously at Huang Si in front of her, her lips twitched involuntarily, and she murmured in a low voice that she didn't know what to say.

Huang Si narrowed his eyes, stared at the girl up and down a few more times, and slowly put the knife into the scabbard.

On one side of his head, Li Jianguo was still lying on the ground.

Huang Si hurriedly supported Li Jianguo's waist and helped Li Jianguo up, Li Jianguo looked at the girl in front of him with grinned teeth, and was about to scold a few words, when he heard Huang Si whispering in his ear:

"This girl, she's not dead."

Li Jianguo was in the air.

Not a dead man?

Isn't it possible for a dead person to come to Fengdu?

Is Fengdu a tourist attraction that anyone can come to? Why did they charge a ticket for their own life?

Li Jianguo then replied in a low voice: "How do you know that she is not a dead person?" ”

"She's not a soul," Huang Si replied in a low voice, "There are three souls and seven souls in a soul, and we who have been professionally trained can clearly see the composition of the three souls and seven spirits. This girl's soul is not complete now, or her body is still there, and part of her soul is still in the body; Either her soul has been torn apart, but she is now fully conscious, and her soul should not have been hit. ”

“…… Can a living person come to Fengdu? ”

Huang Si replied seriously. "If the soul is out of body, it's okay, it's not difficult, but for people like us who are already souls, it's not good."

Li Jianguo was upset and felt that he had stepped on a big hole.

Obviously, the problem can be solved by going out of the body, and the above has to let himself die and come back.

The browsing history of the mobile phone has not had time to erase......

"Here it is...... Hades? ”

The girl who had not spoken seemed to have finally calmed down, and she whispered to Li Jianguo and Huang Si to ask questions, her lips still pursed uncontrollably.

Li Jianguo and Huang Si glanced at each other.

Forget it, let's see what this living girl from the yang world is.

Li Jianguo took a step forward: "Yes, this girl, who are you?" How did you get here? ”

The girl held her head in her mouth, raised her eyelids and looked at the two people in front of her with difficulty, her lips were slightly purple from her teeth, her fingers were tightly gripping the dust, and she said tremblingly: "I am Lin Ling, I am a ...... College student, part-time ...... Onmyoji. ”

Onmyoji!?

Li Jianguo was no stranger to this concept at all, and immediately understood what the dust whisk in her hand was, eighty percent of it was a treasure that she used to cast spells, right?

In other words, she is using this to shuttle between the two worlds of yin and yang?

Huang Si didn't seem to be persuaded by Lin Ling's words, and asked in a serious and skeptical tone, "Why did you come here?" You say you're an onmyoji, but it seems that you're not familiar with the underworld? ”

Listening to Huang Si's words, Lin Ling lowered his head, his eyes glanced uneasily on the ground for a long time, his mouth opened and closed several times, but he didn't spit out a word.

Seeing this, Huang Si slowly approached Lin Ling, his eyes were always fixed on Lin Ling's hands, lest she make any unexpected moves, and said in a low voice: "In this case, it seems that we can only hand you over to the other guards, we still have important things to do, now please stand up." ”

Li Jianguo nodded in agreement.

That's right, getting back to the guest house for a good night's sleep is the most important thing!

Lin Ling finally whispered a word, but unfortunately the voice was too low, and Huang Si and Li Jianguo didn't hear it clearly.

"What did you say?"

This time, Lin Ling's voice finally reached the minimum standard that the ears could receive: "I...... I was sold......"

"Sold?" Huang Si asked suspiciously, glancing at Li Jianguo, Li Jianguo shook his head, and he didn't know what it meant.

Sold to the underworld?

Could it be ...... Is it a yin marriage?

But Huang Si said that Lin Ling is still alive and her body is still there.

There was a loud bang in Li Jianguo's head.

Could it be ...... Was Lin Ling thrown into a coffin and buried alive while she was still alive?

"No, no, no," Lin Ling hurriedly explained, "I'm ...... Sold by human traffickers...... Sold back to my hometown......"

Looking at Li Jianguo's expression of interest and ready to continue asking, Huang Si stopped Lin Ling, who was about to explain, and vigilantly glanced at the surrounding environment: "It's not safe here, let's go to Master Li's residence first, and then go to the bottom of the matter." ”

After a while, Li Jianguo pushed open the door of the guest house in the Hades Palace, and led Lin Ling in.

Lin Ling looked at everything around him with a surprised face, his eyebrows were raised above his eyes, and he asked Li Jianguo in surprise, "...... Do you live in Hades' Palace? ”

Li Jianguo beckoned Lin Ling to sit down, wanting to make a cup of hot tea for Lin Ling gentlemanly, but remembered that he didn't know anything about tea art, so he simply poured a glass of water and handed it to Lin Ling.

"You...... Know the Palace of Hades? ”

Lin Ling nodded: "I came down with my parents a long time ago, we are onmyoji, and it is common to shuttle between the two worlds of yin and yang, but we have never entered the palace of the Hades." It's been a long time since I've been down, and this is the first time I've been down in a decade. ”

Li Jiangguo's fingers rubbed the back of his hand lightly, he was burned when he poured hot water just now, he endured the pain, and continued to ask quietly: "Oh? If you're an onmyoji, you should come down often even if you need it for work, why haven't you come down in the past ten years? ”

Lin Ling sighed: "Because ...... I don't want to be an onmyoji anymore. ”

Li Jianguo thought for a while: "If you are an onmyoji, except for a little kryptonite, everything else is very good, why don't you want to be an onmyoji?" ”

Lin Ling was about to explain, Li Jianguo took out a bag of melon seeds from the drawer, poured it into the dinner plate, grabbed a handful, and said leisurely: "It's okay, say it slowly." ”

Here's the thing.

Lin Ling comes from a remote mountainous area in the central province, has been an onmyoji for generations, can communicate directly with spirits, and usually works part-time in the village to prepare and preside over some rituals, and is respected by many villagers in the surrounding villages. Lin Ling has been dealing with souls since she was a child, and most of these souls are lonely souls and wild ghosts who are still concerned in the yang world. Under the protection and maneuver of their parents, many lonely ghosts have escaped the pursuit of the underworld and live in Lin Ling Village, helping the Lin Ling family to complete their mission as an onmyoji.

Among them, there are several souls who specialize in helping Lin Ling's parents take care of children, and there is a middle-aged man named Yi Xuan, who usually looks at the pot-bellied and unshaven beard, and he doesn't speak so politely and is not welcome, but his parents respect him very much.

I heard from his parents that the teacher he used to come here to teach, after he died of illness, he wanted to watch his children grow up and graduate, so he stayed here, and Lin Ling's mother used to be his student.

Lin Ling has been very scared of Yi Xuan since he was a child, because he always urged him to study hard and take the exam in the future, and he would go outside to see.

Always listening to Yi Xuan's painstaking teachings, Lin Ling also secretly made up her mind that she must pass the exam.

Not for anything else, just to be able to stay away from Yi Xuan, humming around you every day like a ghost, who can stand it!

So Lin Ling redoubled her efforts and successfully passed the exam, and finally became the first college student in the village to pass the exam. Although there were many ups and downs in her college career, Lin Ling was not discouraged and spent every semester conscientiously, like every college student, she was suddenly pushed into the society under the wave of approaching graduation.

It coincides with a sluggish job market.

In the first semester of her senior year, she couldn't find a job, and her parents always persuaded her to come back to "inherit the family business". Lin Ling was very depressed, and there was nothing else left at home except for the endless ghosts in the house. The nagging of parents is like a prickly heat on the newborn's body, and it is not okay to scratch the ground in the heart, cry and laugh: I have studied for so many years and have gone back like this, so my efforts for so many years have not been in vain?

A few days ago, my parents complained to me that now the onmyoji is not easy to do, and the souls that were stranded in the yang world before did not say hello, and suddenly they all disappeared, and they went to the underworld to touch them, but they didn't find those souls. It is estimated that he is old, his ability is not as good as before, and there is no young man around, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to eat in the future.

Point me what is this? Still make up that the soul is gone? Are you afraid that I won't go back?

I don't! I'm going to have to make a career out of it and go back!

At this time, Lin Ling coincidentally encountered a high-paying job, and in the face of the fear of going home to inherit the family business, Lin Ling resolutely chose this high-paying job.

Then as soon as I got in the car, I found out that the other party was a human trafficker.

The traffickers threatened and intimidated, and the car drove away from the province, turning into a remote mountain road. The lane was bumpy, Lin Ling regretted not being at the beginning, and fell asleep in the car physically and mentally exhausted.

After waking up, Lin Shun was dragged out of the car by traffickers and found that the environment around him was very familiar.

Isn't this my hometown?

The trafficker led Lin Ling to a dilapidated courtyard, and Lin Ling looked up at the buyer.

Isn't this the old man of the single king in the east of the village?

I was sold back to my hometown?

Old man Wang was also blinded when he saw it.

What's going on? This is not the onmyoji in the village, his daughter, and he has not been admitted to the province? I spent a lot of money, how did the traffickers get her back?

The two of them were confused, and the traffickers kept urging Old Man Wang to settle the bill.

Suddenly, the yin wind gusted, flying sand and rocks, and a black wind flew overhead in a circle. Lin Ling glanced towards the door and saw that the four underworlds were walking through the door with a series of souls locked.

Lin Ling stared at them and looked at them carefully.

These underworld...... No, they are not underworld, although these people are wearing the clothes of the underworld, they have never seen it, and they are not the underworlds in charge of their own plot at all.

There were many familiar faces in the chain of souls locked in the back, and their hands were trapped, tied to a rope and lined up to walk forward.

No wonder my parents said that the spirits in the vicinity of the house were gone.

There were a few familiar souls in the team who saw him and were about to open their mouths to say something, when Yi Xuan coughed and shook his head lightly at everyone, before everyone withdrew their gaze and stopped talking.

Those few people who looked like they were also aware of the scene in the courtyard, and Lin Ling heard someone say, "This is ...... Traffickers? Buying and selling trading site? ”

Several other people also took a closer look, and several people were sure that it was the scene of human trafficking. Several people exchanged colors, and one of them took out a yellowed pamphlet from his bosom, flipped through it, and said, "This trafficker is also a neighbor, and his name is on this book of life and death...... According to the book of life and death, the buyer and the trafficker have 26 and 19 years of life, respectively. ”

Several of them looked at each other: "What are human traffickers doing for so long?" Take away, take away! ”

As he spoke, he rushed in, hooked the soul rope and put a set on the necks of the two of them, and the old man Wang and the traffickers fell to the ground immediately, and they were stunned.

Lin Ling was so frightened that he sat on the ground with his legs limp and slumped, and hurriedly lowered his head and looked at his shoes, not daring to stare at those underworlds anymore, for fear that they would discover their yin and yang abilities:

Although it is good that they have been rescued, how dare they not hook their souls according to the book of life and death? Isn't that murder?

A few people who looked like a poor person took out the soul whip, and threw it on the old man Wang and the trafficker one by one, beckoning the two to enter the locked soul team outside the door, the two of them complained bitterly, and several people waved the whip vigorously, and shouted angrily: "You dare to sell human beings!" Hurry up to hell! ”

Old man Wang knew that Lin Ling had the ability to communicate with his soul, and when his soul was put on, he hurriedly asked Lin Ling for help: "Baby, it's your Uncle Wang who is wrong, you hurry up and tell a few big brothers, is it the wrong person?" ”

When the underworld heard this, they were taken aback, and they all turned their eyes to Lin Ling, who was sitting on the ground.

"This is the child of that onmyoji?"

"Shouldn't it, the news from my side is that she went out to study? I've been reading for six or seven years and now I'm back? As a trafficked human being? ”

"None of this matters, the problem is that we avoided them so carefully, and now that she sees it, what should we do?"

Several people's eyes became gloomy:

"Although this is not our intention, let's take it with us and leave it to the upper authorities. If she gets the word out and ruins the plan, it's going to be a problem."

Seeing that a person had taken off the soul hook rope from behind his back, Lin Ling was dripping in cold sweat, stumbling up, and retreating a few steps back.

In the soul queue that was locked at the door, a shout suddenly came out: "Girl, run!" ”

It's Yi Xuan's voice! The group of souls at the door rushed up, stopping those people at the gate, and a few people were in a hurry, and pulled out the soul whip and hit everyone at once, and the souls showed blood marks when they landed.

Lin Ling's tears rolled in her eyes, and as soon as she turned around, she climbed out of the courtyard wall of the old man Wang, and ran along the ridge behind her.

Running all the way home, trembling and taking out the key to open the door, there was no one at home. A few people outside were able to penetrate the wall, chasing after Lin Ling, Lin Ling knew that as long as they were trapped by the soul lock, it would be over.

It is impossible to wait for the parents to come and save them, and it will also bring danger to the parents. In a hurry, Lin Ling suddenly remembered that if the soul lock was not a complete soul, then there was no way to strip the soul out!

These people are definitely not bad guys, hurry up and go to the underworld, maybe you can find help!

Lin Ling is deserted in the family business, Yin and Yang has not been learned for ten years, picked up the dust used by his parents on the offering table in front of the home hall, quickly recited the incantation, and finally in the moment before the soul lock, the soul was successfully out of the body and came to the underworld.

Due to the haste of the spell, Lin Ling did not plan the landing point well, and his body smashed down against Li Jianguo.

After that, everyone knows.

Li Jianguo listened carefully to this twists and turns of the bizarre story, sometimes frowning, sometimes bowing his head in contemplation.

He looked up again at the girl in front of him who was huddled in a ball with teary eyes.

Li Jianguo felt that he had grasped the ins and outs of the matter.

In a nutshell, it's probably something like this:

Sister Lin fell from the ground.
