Leaving the soul (no ideas today, please take a leave of absence to post a short story)
One
Looking at the baby's wrinkled face, Lin Fan suddenly felt a feeling of loneliness in his heart.
The wife of Jiang Ming, a colleague of the company, gave birth to a baby, so several colleagues made an appointment to visit the hospital, looking at the colleague holding their daughter with a happy smile on their faces, thinking that they didn't even have a girlfriend, and loneliness couldn't help but come to their hearts.
"Lin Zi, envy!" The colleague known as Da Li patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and said teasingly, "A single nobleman is chic, but only a man can be happy!"
Da Li raised his hand and pointed at himself very coquettishly, "Just like me, Qingqing and I am the real life!"
Lin Fan scratched his head with embarrassment, but there was a sly look in his eyes, "I heard my sister-in-law say on the phone just now, let you go back to cook early!"
"Da Li, is it true?" a boo sounded.
When men are together, they inevitably brag about how high their status is at home, Da Li happens to be the most powerful one, and he often proudly says that his wife will only eat it when he cooks a meal, so Lin Fan's words are very lethal.
Da Li's old face turned red when he brushed it, "You perverted eavesdropper!"
said goodbye to Jiang Ming and his wife with a smile, and the group left the ward and walked towards the hospital.
When I arrived at the entrance of the hospital, I saw the nurse pushing the patient in, a young man who looked like he was sleeping, with a handsome but very attractive face, breathing weakly but evenly.
An anxious-looking middle-aged couple followed just behind.
Lin Fan frowned slightly, and said to his colleagues: "You go first, I saw a friend, go over for a while." ”
"It can't be a beauty!"
"It's better to kill by mistake than to let go, brothers are waiting for your good news!"
"Cut!" Lin Fan raised his middle finger and said disdainfully, "A bunch of perverts!"
Separated from his colleagues, Lin Fan caught up with the middle-aged couple, "Sir, can you take a step to speak!"
"What's the matter?" the middle-aged man stopped with an unhappy face, if it weren't for his own extraordinary cultivation, maybe his reaction would be very intense.
Lin Fan could understand the middle-aged man's mood, and asked without any concern: "The patient is Ling Gongzi, right?"
"That's right!" the middle-aged man's tone was stiff and impatient.
"Ling Gongzi's symptoms are called soul separation in Chinese medicine, and they usually recover spontaneously within seven days, but only if the patient cannot move during the lethargy, I recommend ......"
"Young man, my temper is not very good!" the middle-aged man interrupted Lin Fan's words, and chased after the young man without looking back.
A regretful smile appeared on Lin Fan's face, but he still said to the middle-aged man's back: "Within seven days, send Ling Gongzi back to the place where he slept, the sooner the better!"
Soul separation, non-death souls leaving the body, strong desires, or excessive fright, can occur, in addition, spells can also cause artificial soul separation.
The soul of the person who leaves the body, as long as the soul is not restrained by the spell, will definitely return to the body within seven days, this is the law between heaven and earth, is the difference between the living and the dead, the soul returns to the body after seven days, and the deceased returns to the soul in seven days, but if the soul cannot return to the body within seven days, the person who leaves the soul will die.
The return of the soul can only follow the path of departure to the place where the soul left occurrence, so once the body moves farther away, the soul will not be able to find the body, and thus miss the seven-day period of true death.
Although Lin Fan was a little indifferent to others, he couldn't sit back and watch people die.
"It's hard to be a good person!" Lin Fan looked at the middle-aged man's unconcerned back, a mocking smile appeared on his face, and turned around and walked outside the hospital.
The medicine doctor does not die, no one wants to believe him, and there is nothing he can do.
Not far from where Lin Fan and the middle-aged man were talking, the eyes of a young man in casual clothes moved with Lin Fan, and a young female doctor with a somewhat similar appearance stood next to him, and the work card on his chest read "Ouyang Lan, the attending surgeon".
"We should have met, where would we have met?" said the young man with a frown.
"Ouyang Lan, let's go!" Ouyang Lan said disdainfully and angrily, "It's just a liar who ruined the reputation of Chinese medicine, it doesn't matter if I haven't seen it, I heard Uncle Jiang's words just now, it should be Xiaodong who has an accident, let's go over and take a look!"
Ouyang Lan and Ouyang Lan, twin siblings, one is a surgeon and the other is a private detective.
"Obey, sister!" Ouyang Lan said with a cynical smile, taking her eyes from Lin Fan, and quickly chasing after the middle-aged man Jiang Botao with Ouyang Lan.
Jiang Xiaodong has been sent outside the emergency room, and Jiang Botao and his wife are restlessly waiting outside the clinic.
Two
Lin Fan is a little depressed now, he was approached by a creditor, the creditor Ouyang Lan, a debt owed unintentionally.
When he was still at work, Lin Fan received a strange phone call, a private detective who claimed to be Ouyang Lan asked him to come out to meet, he refused directly without thinking about it, and he has always been respectful of the profession of private detective, who is used to snooping on other people's privacy.
But Ouyang Lan's subsequent words made him have to change his original intention to go to the appointment: Does Mr. Lin remember Ms. Su Yun, Ms. Su Yun who kissed Mr. Lin on the night of December 17 last winter?
Su Yun, an innocent female ghost who died in a car accident because of his unfinished lifespan, could only wander in the place of death to find a stand-in, because the chosen target was a person Lin Fan loved, so Lin Fan intervened, and when there was a dispute between humans and ghosts, he met a passerby who was affected by his spell and accidentally opened his yin and yang eyes and claimed to be a policeman.
In order to help Lin Fan clear up the misunderstanding, Su Yun claimed to be his girlfriend and kissed him in order to prove that what he said was true.
"Ouyang Lan, could it be the person who claimed to be a police officer that night?" Lin Fan speculated after putting down the phone.
The meeting place was a coffee shop near Lin Fan's company, Ouyang Lan stood outside the store, saw Lin Fan coming, greeted him with a respectful face, and said, "Mr. Lin, contemptible Ouyang Lan, how about we go inside and talk?"
Ouyang Lan's respectfulness that did not seem to be fake at all eliminated the mustard caused by the feeling of coercion in Lin Fan's heart, "Colleagues and friends generally call me Xiaolin or Linzi. Then he asked, "Ouyang, you were the policeman that night?"
"Then I'll call you Lin Zi!" Ouyang Lan nodded and said, "That night, I went home and passed through Jiangning Road, and I happened to meet Lin Zi and Ms. Su Yun!"
Entering the private room and sitting down, and letting the waiter bring coffee, Ouyang Lan got straight to the point and said, "Linzi, I don't hide it, I want to ask you for help with something." ”
Lin Fan lowered his head and gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon, without saying anything about Ouyang Lan's words.
It may be very embarrassing to be an ordinary person, Ouyang Lan didn't care about it at all, and continued, "The soul-leaving young man you saw in the hospital yesterday is called Jiang Xiaodong, who is an iron buddy who I grew up with, when you talked to Uncle Jiang, my sister and I were standing not far away, I tried to persuade Uncle Jiang to do what you said, but I was scolded by my sister, although Uncle Jiang and Aunt Li were not angry, they were also very angry.
I don't know what you mean by the seven-day period, but it's impossible, and yesterday Xiaodong's diagnosis came to the conclusion that everything was normal, and without a clue, my sister called her mentor in the United States, Will Smith, an internationally renowned medical expert.
Smith was very interested in Xiaodong's illness, and had already booked a plane ticket to reach the city this afternoon, but Xiaodong had been asleep for two days, and even if they could cure Xiaodong, the remaining five days would not be enough for them to examine and discuss treatment options, not to mention that this possibility did not exist at all.
All, I hope Lin Zi can help Xiaodong, if there is any request, I can agree. ”
Ouyang Lan looked at Lin Fan, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Fan put down the small spoon of coffee and raised his head, "Before answering you, can I ask a question, Ouyang, how did you find me?"
It seems that he had expected Lin Fan to have such a problem before he came, Ouyang Lan, who had been prepared, took out three pieces of A4 paper and spread them on the table, "I am good at sketching, and anyone or thing that I have paid attention to, as long as it is not too long, can be drawn."
These two pictures were drawn last winter, and the sudden sight of ghosts caused quite a lot of trouble, I tried to find out the reason, and finally found that the biggest suspicion was you and Su Yun, so I drew your sketches, and later after investigation, I found out that Su Yun died in a car accident six days ago when I saw you.
This one was painted last night to find you, and after finishing the painting, I suddenly thought of last winter, and then I found you and Su Yun from the previous sketches. This morning, I took a sketch and pulled out your situation from the mouth of your colleague Jiang Ming!"
Sketching two old and one new, looking at the portrait of himself and Su Yun vividly on the paper, Lin Fan's eyes flashed with incomprehensible feelings, maybe he had forgotten Su Yun's appearance, but he would never forget Su Yun's kiss, cold without temperature, that is the distance between life and death.
Looking away from the sketch, Lin Fan looked at Ouyang Lan's eyes and asked again, "Last question, what would you do if I refused to help?"
"You won't refuse!" Ouyang Lan said firmly.
A look of surprise flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, he didn't understand where Ouyang Lan's confidence came from.
"You can deny knowing Su Yun on the phone, so you don't even need to refuse, but you don't, besides, you know that it is difficult for people to believe such a thing as leaving the soul, but you still told Uncle Jiang.
What these two things represent, I don't need to explain!" Ouyang Lan smiled calmly and confidently.
Accepting an invitation with some coercion implications, it shows that Lin Fan is ready to give something, reminding Jiang Botao, showing that Lin Fan is not a person who will not be saved when he sees death, combined with these two points, Ouyang Lan is enough to draw the above conclusion.
"It seems that I am right, all private detectives are cunning and dangerous!" Lin Fan acquiesced to Ouyang Lan's words.
He could imagine how much impact the opening of the Yin and Yang Eyes had on Ouyang Lan's life, but he couldn't remedy it in time at that time, and now he had to make some supplements.
"Ouyang knows your friend's birthday, I still have work to complete, I'll go back to the company first, and I'll contact you in the evening!" As he spoke, Lin Fan stood up and prepared to leave.
"Okay, I'll drive to pick you up at night!" Ouyang Lan stood up and sent Lin Fan out of the coffee shop.
Three
It was already past two o'clock in the morning before Ouyang Lan, Smith, and several other doctors, young and old, left Jiang Xiaodong's ward with a frown.
Ouyang Lan closed the portable computer stolen into the hospital's monitoring system, put on a doctor's white coat with Lin Fan, and walked out of the utility room to Jiang Xiaodong's ward.
Entering the ward and glancing at the surveillance camera on the roof, Lin Fan said with a smile: "Every time I see this thing, I will be frightened, for fear of being photographed and becoming a social celebrity!"
Ouyang Lan made a gesture that reassured Lin Fan and said, "Don't worry, this thing is all decorations now, and the terminal can only see the picture I recorded in advance!"
"Then let's start, tell me about your friend's birthday!" Lin Fan got to the point, and took out the things in the package one by one.
"On the sixth day of the seventh month of '80, at 9:45 a.m. Ouyang Lan said without thinking.
Lin Fan nodded, handed Ouyang Lan a knife and an ashtray, and said, "Take some of your friend's blood for me, take more!"
Looking at the ashtray for a few yuan each, Ouyang Lan couldn't help but be stunned, and then couldn't help but smile: "Ashtray, you are too unprofessional!"
"This is cheap!" Lin Fan said lightly.
Is this the master in his mind, Ouyang Lan took something with a shocked look, cut Jiang Xiaodong's fingers and dripped blood into the ashtray.
Lin Fan set up a portable table and spread paper and pen on it. When the blood in the ashtray was almost enough, he motioned for Ouyang Lan to bring it to him.
"Spiritualism is most afraid of harassment, when casting spells, I must not let anyone disturb me, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lin Fan cautiously admonished.
Ouyang Lan knew the seriousness of the matter, "Leave it to me, if someone really comes, I will knock people out before they disturb you!"
Lin Fan nodded, lifted the brush and dipped it in blood and waved it on the prepared yellow paper, and in a moment he had already completed three blood talismans, and then took another piece of yellow paper and wrote Jiang Xiaodong's name and birth date upright.
Putting down the brush, Lin Fan put the three blood talismans on the top of Jiang Xiaodong's head, dantian, and the soles of his feet in turn, and then explained to Ouyang Lan, who was full of desire for knowledge: "People have three souls, the heavenly soul is in the sky at the top, the earth soul is in the place under the feet, and the life soul lives in the body, these three blood talismans represent the three souls of heaven, earth, and life."
If you are really interested in these, you can choose a Buddhist or Taoist martial arts practice, read the classics of the two families, and when you meet the right opportunity, I will help you find a master. ”
"Lin Zi, thank you!" Ouyang Lan said unabashedly with joy in her heart.
"You're welcome!" Lin Fan said with a smile, "The top priority is to carry out your task well, and we will talk about other things later!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up the yellow paper with Jiang Xiaodong's name and birth date written on it and prepared to summon spirits.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open with a "bang", Ouyang Lan rushed into the door, and Ouyang Lan lost her voice and said, "Sister!"
Ouyang Lan raised her hand and pointed at Lin Fan, glared at Ouyang Lan angrily and asked, "Ouyang Lan, I know that you are here, what are you bringing this charlatan for?"
"Sister, listen to me......"
"I don't want to listen to any explanation from you, get this charlatan out of the hospital for me immediately, or I'll call the police!" Ouyang Lan's attitude was firm and non-negotiable.
"Ouyang, since you can't knock her out, leave it to me!" Lin Fan sighed lightly, raised his hand upward, and a red rope jumped out of his sleeve to help Ouyang Lan's hands and feet.
"If you can keep quiet, just stand by and watch, if you can't, I'll help you shut your mouth!" Lin Fan said lightly, but there was blazing anger brewing in his heart, this woman dared to say that he was a charlatan, who had he deceived?
Looking at the red rope that seemed to break with a little force, but tied herself to be unable to move, although Ouyang Lan was surprised, she had no intention of compromise, and she was about to call someone when she opened her mouth, Ouyang Lan hurriedly covered her mouth, and whispered with a smile: "Sister, do you really want him to plug your mouth?"
Since she was a child, Ouyang Lan had never seen her sister suffer such a big loss.
Lin Fan no longer paid attention to Ouyang Lan's sister and brother, stepped on the seven stars, recited incantations, and looked at Jiang Xiaodong with a focused and deep gaze.
In the sound of the incantation, the blood talisman rose and slowly brightened, making the rune paper transparent by point, and at the same time, Jiang Xiaodong's body, and the ward was also reflected in bright red.
Seeing such a fantastic scene, Ouyang Lan's eyes were full of surprise, she shook her head and asked Ouyang Lan to take her hand away, and asked softly, "Brother, did he hide something on Xiaodong's body?"
Ouyang Lan looked at Lin Fan with blazing eyes and said, "I can tell you with great certainty, no!"
When the light reached the limit, it no longer increased, and the rune paper suddenly shattered into dust and sprinkled on the bed and Jiang Xiaodong's body, leaving only three runes with different shapes suspended above Jiang Xiaodong's head, the soles of his feet, and the dantian.
Lin Fan's footsteps did not stop, the spell continued, and the rune suspended above the dantian slowly sank down into Jiang Xiaodong's body, but at the moment of entering the body, the rune light shook, and the rune seemed to encounter huge resistance and stopped on the surface of the body and was difficult to descend a bit, which is the resistance that can only appear when people cast spells to leave the soul.
An angry look appeared on Lin Fan's face, his steps quickened, the spell became urgent, and a look of difficulty appeared on his face, and the runes began to continue to sink.
At this time, Jiang Xiaodong's body suddenly shook, blood overflowed from the corners of his lips, and a shocked and unbelievable look appeared on Lin Fan's face, his feet were slow, and he couldn't continue to cast spells after a short time.
After many spells are broken, they will cause substantial damage to the caster, this situation is called spell backlash, Lin Fan clearly felt that the power of backlash came from the ethereal and injured Jiang Xiaodong, which means that it was Jiang Xiaodong himself who cast the spell.
The runes finally entered the dantian, Lin Fan raised his hand holding the yellow paper with Jiang Xiaodong's name and birth date written on it, and the yellow paper burned into a flame and flew into the air, and then divided into three runes that were thrown at the top of his head, the soles of his feet, and the dantian, and the runes were integrated.
After the spell ended, Lin Fan stopped, wiped the sweat on his head, and said with a wry smile: "Damn, there are really all kinds of perverts in the world, and they actually cast a soul separation spell on themselves!"
As soon as the words fell, the mutation protruded, the runes were suddenly shattered, and the three flames that were integrated with the runes flew away from Jiang Xiaodong, dragging the flame tail and hitting Lin Fan's chest, and in the blood mist that spit out, the person flew out upside down and hit the wall and slid down, his clothes burned through, his skin was as black as charcoal, and there was a faint fragrance of cooked meat.
Lin Fan sat at the base of the wall in a languid manner, coughing constantly, and blood flying wildly.
Ouyang Lan rushed over and asked nervously, "What happened?"
Pushing Ouyang Lan away, Lin Fan scolded weakly: "Ouyang Lan, you bastard turtle king bastard, you don't know anyone well, but you know this kind of pervert, just cast a soul spell on yourself, and now you have run to the underworld, if you want to die, you can just stab yourself with a knife, what's the harm like this?"
Help him prepare for the future, I will definitely give him a big white envelope!"
Lin Fan picked up the corner of his clothes and wiped the blood on his mouth, then stood up against the wall, withdrew the red rope on Ouyang Lan's body, and staggered out of the ward.
Four
Ouyang Lan squatted down, a drop of blood stuck to her slender fingers, twisted her two fingers, put it under her nose and sniffed, and said to herself with a puzzled face: "It's indeed human blood, and there is temperature, isn't it really acting?"
Seeing that her sister was still suspicious of Lin Fan at this time, Ouyang Lan's face suddenly sank, "Ouyang Lan, don't go too far, his name is Lin Fan, an advertising designer who can be ranked in the top ten in the city, with a monthly income of tens of thousands, have you ever seen such a charlatan?"
Even if he's a liar, you've seen that liar hurt his lungs to deceive people, you're a doctor, don't tell me he can't hear his lungs hurt from his cough.
Don't just label people as liars, that can only say that you are superficial!"
Ouyang Lan is excellent and proud, it can be said that she has never received this kind of treatment when she is so old, let alone being yelled at by her younger brother who has been obedient to him since he was a child, and he was stunned for a moment, until Ouyang Lan pushed the door and came out.
"Ouyang Lan, let's settle this account slowly!" Ouyang Lan said murderously, and left the ward behind Ouyang Lan.
Lin Fan was seriously injured, not only because of the failure of the spell, but also because of the punishment given to him by the underworld.
There is no problem in summoning souls for those who have left the soul, and it is also a good deed to accumulate merit; there is no problem in summoning souls from the underworld to the yang world, as long as you pay a little price and then send them back within the time limit; summoning the soul from the underworld back to the body is equivalent to bringing the dead back to life, which is acting against the heavens and will be punished by heaven.
This is the law of heaven and earth, and it will never be accommodating because it is a living soul that accidentally leaves the body, unless the living soul leaves the underworld by itself.
When such a thing happens, it's not that Lin Fan is careless, it can only be said that it is unfortunate, the living soul can't see the Huangquan Road, so it is impossible to enter the underworld, unless there is no concern and only the will to die, this kind of person has, but they will still be afraid of something, not to mention that they have a strong desire to leave the soul, but who would have thought that they would meet the pervert who casts a spell and leaves the soul.
Lin Fan is also very lucky, the curse of heaven is not that he can't resist it, it's just that his cultivation is far from reaching that level of rebellion, in this case, he encounters the curse of heaven, and he is absolutely dead, but he has a treasure given by the master Yue Lao, so he was seriously injured but saved his life.
"It's not easy to want to be a good person but almost kill yourself, the saying that a good person dies quickly is really a wise saying!" Lin Fan had a self-deprecating smile on his face, his hand covered his mouth, and blood kept coughing up on his hand, flowing down his arm and dyeing the entire sleeve red.
Dizziness rushed over his head like a tidal wave, and his feet were as sluggish as dragging a thousand weights.
Ouyang Lan caught up with Lin Fan and asked, "Lin Zi, how can I help you?"
"I need a quiet room, a quiet room that won't be disturbed in any way, and then just let me lie down!" Lin Fan didn't refuse Ouyang Lan's help, it wasn't Ouyang Lan's fault, and his own situation didn't allow him to refuse.
"Also, ...... things in the ward" Lin Fan's voice became lower and lower, and before he could finish speaking, he was already unconscious.
Ouyang Lan walked over, held Lin Fan's vein in her hand, and her brows immediately furrowed, "Do you really want to do what he said?"
He was seriously injured and from a medical point of view, I would recommend immediate treatment, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"
Ouyang Lan has become less and less confident to insist on her concept, she can doubt anything, but she will never doubt Lin Fan's injury, this is the pride and confidence of a doctor.
Ouyang Lan nodded and said, "Sister, borrow your dormitory key for use, and help clean up the things in Xiaodong's ward!"
"The stinky boy is out of breath, he has learned to call your sister!" Ouyang Lan murderously threw the key to Ouyang Lan and turned around and returned to the ward.
Ouyang Lan packed up her things and returned to the dormitory, Lin Fan was lying on the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression was quiet and serene, if it weren't for the blood stains on his body and the scorched black burns on his chest, anyone would definitely think he was asleep when he saw it.
Ouyang Lan sat on the sofa, her brows were tightly locked, and there was an inextricable confusion in her eyes, and when she heard Ouyang Lan come in, she just turned her head and glanced at it and fell into contemplation again.
Ouyang Lan gently put down the things in her hand, sat down on the sofa next to Ouyang Lan, slowly closed her eyes, and the drowsiness immediately came to her head irresistibly.
"Sister, why did you say Xiaodong did this?" Ouyang Lan suddenly asked, looking distressed and confused.
Ouyang Lan's eyes opened a slit, and she said sleepily: "Maybe your friend is really a strange person, but it won't make you believe this kind of words without any evidence without any doubt!"
Ouyang Lan shook his head and said, "I don't have any reason to doubt, your brother and I can see ghosts, and I can also see Xiaodong's abnormal place, his body is as empty as a dead person, it's just that there is no dead air!"
"You said you could see ghosts?" Ouyang Lan was completely sleepy, surprised and surprised, and had some doubts, her brother could actually see ghosts, was this true, or was it a lie woven to persuade her?
"I know you won't believe it!" Ouyang Lan said regretfully, and then stood up, "I'll go to Uncle Jiang's house to see if I can find some clues, and Lin Zi will ask my sister to take care of you!"
Without waiting for Ouyang Lan to react, Ouyang Lan, who had finished speaking, had already gone straight out.
Five
The morning sun rises, the sun illuminates the sky of the city, Ouyang Lan holds a cup of coffee, looks at Lin Fan lying on the bed, and takes a sip absent-mindedly from time to time, she has no intention of sleeping but is sleepy, she has forgotten that this is the first cup of coffee.
She was waiting for Ouyang Lan, and she couldn't sleep until she figured out the truth or falsehood of the words that she could see ghosts.
The coffee in the cup had been drunk, and Ouyang Lan was about to pour herself another cup, Ouyang Lan pushed open the door and walked in, sitting on the sofa with her buttocks, her brows furrowed tighter than when she left.
Seeing Ouyang Lan's expression, Ouyang Lan's heart rose with an inexplicable relief, "Is there nothing to gain?"
She felt that Ouyang Lan's answer would be yes, so that there would be no evidence to support Lin Fan's words, and she would have no reason to be confused or confused.
"I didn't find any evidence that Xiaodong had misanthropic tendencies, but I found this!" Ouyang Lan put the things in his hand on the table, an old yellowed book, the title of the handwritten book was vaguely recognizable--Miscellaneous Anecdotes, a white piece of paper folded in half, and a dozen pages of ancient books with rough edges like jagged edges were sandwiched inside.
Ouyang Lan opened the white paper and took out a page of ancient books, opening with three cursive scripts: Soul Separation Mantra.
"Brother, you don't want to use this to convince me, do you!" Ouyang Lan smiled dumbly, "Xiaodong likes to collect all kinds of strange ancient books, what do you think it can explain if you find such a piece of paper from him?"
"I'll give you this again. Ouyang Lan took out a budgie parrot, a parrot that was sleeping and couldn't wake up.
"Xiaoyun!" Ouyang Lan let out an exclamation and asked, "What did you do to Xiaoyun?"
Xiaoyun is a parrot raised by Jiang Botao's wife, Li Qing, who is smart and likable, and Ouyang Lan is one of the people who like it the most.
Facing Ouyang Lan's questioning, Ouyang Lan said calmly: "Didn't you find that Xiaoyun's situation is very similar to Xiaodong's?"
Ouyang Lan's expression changed slightly, and she immediately checked Xiaoyun in detail, her expression became more and more solemn, and then she suddenly ran out of the door with Xiaoyun in her arms.
Looking at the closed door, Ouyang Lan took a long breath, turned her head to look at the empty shoulder in the eyes of ordinary people and said, "Xiaoyun, for Xiaodong's patience for a while, as long as you persuade my sister, I will send you back to your body!"
On his shoulder, there stood a parrot soul that was no different from the parrot Ouyang Lan took away, pecking at his face angrily, "Xiao Lan villain, Xiao Lan villain......"
After discovering the Soul Separation Spell, because of Lin Fan's words that Jiang Xiaodong himself cast the Soul Separation Spell on himself, he tested it on Parrot Xiaoyun, and he was lucky enough to succeed in one time.
Six
Time flies, it is the seventh day of Jiang Xiaodong's coma, and Lin Fan is still lying on Ouyang Lan's bed and falling asleep.
"Miscellaneous Stories" was opened on the desk, and the last way to treat Jiang Xiaodong was described in half-literate and half-white words: Those who leave the soul and enter the underworld by mistake will not be saved by all laws, and only the soul of the relatives can return to the body after the soul enters the underworld to persuade and lead, otherwise the seven-day period will be the time to break the soul.
The sky was already dark, and Ouyang Lan looked at Lin Fan restlessly, her face full of anxiety.
Faced with the same symptoms as parrot Xiaoyun and Jiang Xiaodong, and witnessing Xiaoyun's miraculous awakening in Ouyang Lan's hands, she could no longer find a reason to be suspicious.
In the past few days, she and Ouyang Lan persuaded Jiang Botao and his wife, but they did not give up the use of modern medical treatment, and Will Smith and other experts attracted by Jiang Xiaodong's strange illness tried all the methods they could think of, with the repeated failures and the approach of the seven-day period, the mood of expecting Lin Fan to wake up became more and more anxious.
Looking at the hand of the wall clock on the wall approaching eight o'clock, Ouyang Lan took out a syringe, and the cold light flashed in her eyes, "If you don't wake up at eight o'clock, I'll help you wake up!"
"Beauty, are you ready to commit murder?" Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes, revealing eyes that were as bright as stars, with a lazy smile on his face.
There is a famous saying that it is a sin to frighten a beautiful woman, and since it is a sin, it will be punished.
Lin Fan fulfilled this sentence very well, Ouyang Lan panicked like a child who had done something bad and was caught, she stepped back, but she didn't step on it steadily, and immediately fell forward on Lin Fan's body, and the syringe in her hand drove straight into Lin Fan's arm.
"Ahh
In the rapid heartbeat, Ouyang Lan quickly calmed down, said "sorry" apologetically, hurriedly got up from Lin Fan, pulled out the syringe, and then found a medical cotton ball for Lin Fan.
It seemed that the injury was not completely healed, Lin Fan sat up a little reluctantly, his eyes swept around the room, and finally landed on the bed under him, looking at the bloodstained sheets, a grateful look appeared on his face, and said, "Thank you!"
"It's not going to be a 'thank you' and it's over, just help me do something!" Ouyang Lan said very directly, looking at the blood stains on the sheets with a sly and purposeful gaze.
"I think of a line: professional blackmailer!" Lin Fan said with a smile, "Do you want me to help Jiang Xiaodong?"
Ouyang Lan nodded, and said sincerely and seriously: "Help Xiaodong, there are only four hours left, it is just a grudge against you, but for his parents, it is a sadness that life cannot bear!"
Lin Fan smiled, got off the bed, and said, "Can you help me find a set of clothes, you don't want to go with a person who is engaged in performance art, right?"
He was still wearing the clothes he had been wearing when he was injured, and the burns were already healed, but the torn clothes would not repair themselves, revealing a large area of his chest.
"You agreed!" Ouyang Lan said in surprise, she originally thought that she would have to go to great lengths, and even used some extraordinary means to persuade Lin Fan.
"It's not that I agreed, it's that you didn't give up!" Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Heaven and earth are ruthless and there is still a glimmer of life, otherwise there will be no rule that living souls can voluntarily leave when they enter the underworld, I am just a mortal seeking the Tao, how can I have more human touch than God."
These four hours are the opportunity left for Jiang Xiaodong, if you don't give up, I will try my best to save him, if you give up, even if I have the heart, I am powerless. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Fan paused slightly, "You call Ouyang and ask him to help me prepare yellow paper, brushes, cinnabar, white candles, and a basin that is so big that I haven't used a copper basin!"
"Okay, you change your clothes, I'll call him!" Ouyang Lan took a set of men's clothes that she had bought in advance and gave it to Lin Fan, and then went to the door to call.
Seven
Jiang Xiaodong has been discharged from the hospital and returned home, Ouyang Lan started the car to leave the hospital, Lin Fan sat in the passenger seat, coughed softly with his body snuggled, and the blood he coughed up was stained a little pink on the tissue.
"Isn't your injury healed?" asked Ouyang Lan in surprise and surprise.
After coughing for a while, Lin Fan's condition improved, and said with a wry smile: "Eldest sister, do you think this is a movie, it will be good if you say it's good, it will take at least a month for my injuries to be stabilized, and if it is to heal, it will take half a year."
This is the most realistic example of good people not being rewarded!"
The last sentence revealed a strong sense of resentment.
Ouyang Lan was silent, a little unsure of what to say, but she scolded Jiang Xiaodong in her heart: "Jiang Xiaodong, you bastard, what are you doing with so many things, making so many people uneasy!"
Jiang Xiaodong was lying on the floor, with a mattress under him, a basin of water above his head, and a white candle on each side of the basin.
Lin Fan put a pile of drawn rune paper into the copper basin, and the rune paper sank to the bottom of the water, as if it had been given life, squirmed, spread out, climbed the wall of the basin, and wrapped the edge of the basin, as if carefully gluing the rune paper all over the copper basin, there was no gap at all.
Take a knife and cut the middle finger, dripping seven drops of blood at the bottom of the basin to form a Beidou, the blood is round like a bead in the water, and there is no trace of blood leaking out.
"The stars shine in the world, the Beidou Lord is dead, the Nandou is born, the Beidou is guided, and the underworld is here!"
In Lin Fan's suppressed voice, seven starlights descended obliquely from the northern sky, passed through the roof of the villa, and fell on the blood beads in the copper basin, injecting into the blood beads.
The blood beads lit up, like red stars rising in the copper basin, and the blood beads in the heavenly pivot position shot out a line of red light, connecting the seven blood beads together in turns, and the light suddenly flourished, drowning the vision of the people in the room.
It seemed that there was only a short moment, and it seemed that a long time had passed, the light disappeared, the copper basin appeared again, the blood beads had disappeared without a trace, the fog under the water surface was churning, there was no sky, no earth, only a faintly visible road leading to an unknown place, and countless figures slowly moving forward on the road.
As if pulling the camera, the fog swept back rapidly, and a dark black archway appeared at the end of the road, with two gloomy pale white characters in the middle: Difu, two hideous-looking blue-faced ghosts stood in front of the archway with a fork.
Looking at the image of the archway in the copper basin, Lin Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, his pale face was already covered with sweat, and his spirit was much worse than before.
Wiping a handful of sweat, Lin Fan asked, "Ouyang, are you ready?"
Bringing out the soul that has left the soul to enter the underworld, not only people close to you can go, but also need to be strong, the underworld is the place where the yin qi gathers, if the body is not strong enough to enter, the contaminated yin qi will inevitably lead to a serious illness, or even a long illness.
Of course, after returning from the underworld, casting a spell to clear the yin qi contaminated on his body can also avoid worries, but Lin Fan's physical condition at this time may not be able to do it, so Ouyang Lan has become the best candidate to enter the underworld.
Ouyang Lan's burning gaze left the copper basin, calmed down her excited but uneasy emotions, and nodded.
Lin Fan's spell made him excited, and the mystery and unknown of the underworld made him uneasy.
Although he sensed Ouyang Lan's uneasiness, Lin Fan didn't have the idea of explaining, but said cautiously: "Ouyang, repeat it again, my current state is connected to the underworld for a maximum of an hour, so you must find Jiang Xiaodong before this and bring him back, if you can't do it, I will have to bring you back to the yang world alone at the last time, do you understand?"
"Xiaolan, Xiaodong, he's going to ask you!" Li Qing said sadly and worriedly.
His eyes swept over Jiang Botao and his wife and Ouyang Lan, Ouyang Lan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Xiaodong within the time limit." ”
Lin Fan threw out a red rope and wrapped Ouyang Lan's tail finger to tie the bow knot, and then gently took the red rope, the soul was pulled away from the body, and the body fell on the sofa as if it was asleep.
Then take a red rope and tie it into a bow, the soft light flows on it, and then forms a butterfly with a bow knot as a bone and a soft light as a muscle, the butterfly flew away from Lin Fan's hand, stayed on Jiang Xiaodong's head for a while, and then flew to Ouyang Lan.
"Follow the butterfly, it will lead you to Jiang Xiaodong, and then it's up to you whether you can bring people back, remember, don't talk to any ghost other than the ghost!" Lin Fan said tiredly, his spirit was much worse than just now.
Ouyang Lan nodded, followed the butterfly into the copper basin and appeared in front of the black archway, a red rope behind him, so that one end passed through the water and held it in Lin Fan's hand.
Eight
Seeing Ouyang Lan appear outside the underworld, Lin Fan turned his head to look at Ouyang Lan, a difficult smile appeared on his face, "Beauty, can you help me sit down!"
Ouyang Lan was startled, and found that Lin Fan was actually shaking, so she hurriedly came over to support Lin Fan, said "thank you" gratefully and apologetically, and then helped him sit on the ground according to Lin Fan's intentions, and then took out a tissue to gently wipe the sweat off his face.
Behind the archway, there is no second color in the gray-black world, a wide river that does not know how to continue, the torrent rolls crosswise, a stone bridge assumes the river, the name is called Naihe, Ouyang Lan followed the butterfly on the Nai He bridge and walked to the opposite bank.
After crossing the Nai He Bridge, the field of vision suddenly widens, the smooth stone slab paves into a wide road leading straight to the black grand hall, the plaque is written with the three big characters of the Yama Palace, and on both sides of the road are countless scattered houses, which have spread to the end of the sight.
On the road and between the houses, there are not many but not many figures moving slowly, exuding a peaceful atmosphere.
"Is this the underworld, why doesn't it look like a legend at all?" Ouyang Lan looked at the picture in the copper basin and made a puzzled and emotional voice.
Lin Fan smiled indifferently and said: "Ten halls of Yama, this is only the first hall, the duty is to evaluate the merits and demerits of life, how to punish is the matter of the next nine halls, if you get there, you can see the scene described in the legend."
After assessing the merits and demerits, some good people will be temporarily unable or unwilling to reincarnate for some reason, so they will stay here, and the surrounding houses are for them to live in. ”
Ouyang Lan let out an "oh" in understanding, nodded and stopped talking.
In the copper basin, Ouyang Lan followed the butterfly into the street between the houses and kept trying to walk, his pace slowly became faster, at first it was still a trot, and finally it became a 100-meter sprint, and time passed quickly with his footsteps.
In anxious waiting, half an hour had passed, Ouyang Lan turned into an alley, knocked on a door, and revealed a quiet beauty in ancient costume.
The butterfly flew into the courtyard through the open door, landed on the shoulder of a young man in casual clothes, and then died out in soft light, turning back into a bow and falling to the ground.
The moment the young man appeared on the screen, a joyful voice with a sobbing tone spit out from the mouths of Jiang Botao and his wife: "Xiaodong!"
Ouyang Lan was also full of joy, but she also had unsolvable doubts, looking at the picture and smelling: "Why don't you send Ouyang Lan here?"
"Including the Ten Halls of Yama, anyone who wants to enter the underworld must walk in from under the gate. Lin Fan's voice was extremely weak.
Ouyang Lan was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at Lin Fan, her pale face was dyed with a cold blue that was seeping, and her clothes were wet with sweat like washing.
A look of self-reproach appeared on Ouyang Lan's face, how could she be so derelict in her duties, as a doctor, she actually forgot that he was still a patient who needed to be taken care of.
Sitting on the floor and letting Lin Fan lean on herself, Ouyang Lan felt that she could only provide this kind of silent care.
Nine
The picture is silent, only the lips can be seen silently opening and closing.
Ouyang Lan said anxiously, and Jiang Xiaodong leisurely, freehand, and happily pulled him to the stone table in the courtyard to have tea.
The woman in the costume was anxious and reluctant, and said something that she didn't know the content of.
"Why doesn't this kid Xiaodong have the slightest intention of coming back?" Li Qing said sadly and suspiciously, Jiang Botao and Ouyang Lan also had the same question.
Lin Fan didn't know the answer, and he didn't have the strength to speak, so he remained silent.
Time passed minute by minute, but Ouyang Lan's efforts could not be seen from the picture.
I don't know how long it has been, shallow ripples have rippled on the surface of the water, the picture has become blurry, and Lin Fan made a weak and weak voice, "Providence is so!"
Gently raising his hand, the red rope dragging behind Ouyang Lan immediately straightened, led him out of the courtyard, swept through the streets between the houses like the wind, returned to the stone-paved road, came to the archway of the gate of the underworld, and finally rushed out of the water and returned to the body, and the influence of the water disappeared at the same time.
The red rope fell off Ouyang Lan's tail finger and fell to the ground, Lin Fan's body trembled, and he opened his mouth and spit a mouthful of blood on the clothes on his chest.
The red rope was withdrawn from his hand little by little, and Lin Fan said apologetically: "I'm sorry!"
Suppressed sadness filled the air, and Li Qing cried sadly: "What's the use of being sorry, can a word of sorry be worth Xiaodong's life?"
"Li Qing, don't do this, Mr. Lin has done his best!" Jiang Botao said with his eyes closed, two lines of turbid tears rolling down his face.
After the initial discomfort time of the soul return, Ouyang Lan sat on the sofa with her head in pain, "Why can't you give me a little more time, I'm going to convince Xiaodong soon!"
"Brother, it's been an hour and twenty-three minutes!" Ouyang Lan's voice was low and depressed.
This kind of depression made Lin Fan feel suffocated, and he held Ouyang Lan's shoulders and staggered to stand up and prepare to leave the Jiang family, he did his best, he had a clear conscience, but he couldn't bear this heavy sadness.
"I'll send you back!" Ouyang Lan caught up and helped Lin Fan and said.
"Gada!" the door opened with a dull sound, and the refreshing night breeze blew in but was powerless to take away the sadness in the room.
was about to go out and leave, but Lin Fan suddenly pulled Ouyang Lan to turn around, the water surface in the copper basin was rippling in a circle, and the image of the disappeared dungeon slowly emerged, and the woman in ancient costume carried Jiang Xiaodong and quickly swept out of the dungeon, and slowly fell to the ground after rushing out of the water, light and elegant like a fairy.
Jiang Xiaodong hung his head on his chest and was in a coma, apparently forcibly brought back by the woman who knocked him unconscious.
The woman in ancient costume looked at Jiang Xiaodong intently, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she stood motionless.
Finally, the woman in ancient costume moved, and put Jiang Xiaodong back into her body with extremely gentle movements, because of the unconscious soul, people could not wake up quickly.
The woman in ancient costume glanced at Jiang Xiaodong affectionately, then walked to Lin Fan's face, Yingying was a blessing, and then sent a bow with both hands, "Little woman Liu Mei'er will return the immortal magic weapon!"
Ten
Immortal, an honorific title for a person who cultivates.
Looking at the bow, a look of emotion appeared on Lin Fan's face, Jiang Xiaodong, who had not been rescued with all his might, was actually rescued because of a bow that was accidentally left in the underworld.
The revenant is not allowed to leave the underworld and enter the Yang world without authorization, unless he has the permission of the king of Hades or holds the certificate of the summoning of the yang world, the bow can be used as a magic weapon as a certificate, so Liu Meier can take Jiang Xiaodong out of the underworld.
Lin Fan took the bow and had the heart to leave immediately, but he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, "What is the relationship between you and Jiang Xiaodong?"
"The little woman was a person during the Ming Wanli period, frail and sickly since she was a child, and Lang Zhong was diagnosed with difficulty living past the age of eighteen, and sure enough, when she was eighteen years old, her health deteriorated, and she sought medical treatment in many ways and did not improve. The little girl likes Danqing, and she paints for herself one day, and when she finishes it, she vomits a mouthful of blood on the painting, and then she goes to the underworld in a daze.
After arriving in the underworld, the little woman knew from His Majesty the King of Hades that she had lost a soul and a soul, and she could only be reincarnated after recovering this soul, but I didn't know where to look for it, so hundreds of years passed until Xiaodong appeared in front of me with them!"
Calm words, a touch of sadness, Liu Mei'er paused slightly, and a happy smile appeared on her face, "I will never forget the first words he said: I finally met you."
When he said this, his expression was very calm, but his eyes were burning as if he could melt the ancient glacier, and at that moment, I actually had the feeling that my heart was beating.
It turned out that he had accidentally bought the portrait he had painted on his deathbed, so he had a strong obsession with seeing me in person, which was impossible to achieve, but he learned some ways to practice health with a master from outside the world, and also collected a page of a book that recorded the Taoist mantra of leaving the soul.
He once read in a book that because a person who has a strong desire to leave his soul will fulfill his wish in the soul state if he wants to see someone or something, he casts a soul separation spell on himself, and in the soul state, he finds a soul and a spirit attached to the portrait by me. ”
The original question got the street, and then a new question arose, so Lin Fan asked: "Even so, it is impossible for him to enter the underworld to find you, did he say what else he did?"
"Having said that, he said that it was self-hypnosis after leaving the soul that expanded his desire to see me to the extreme, so that he could enter the underworld and find me. Liu Meier replied.
"So that's the case, no wonder he was indifferent to Ouyang's persuasion!" Lin Fan stopped talking with emotion, no topic of interest, and no strength to speak.
But this doesn't mean that others have no problem like him, a nameless fire appeared in Ouyang Lan's eyes, "After such a long time, don't you know how to persuade Xiaodong to come back?"
"He came back five days ago, but he couldn't find his body, and since then, he has no idea of coming back at all!"
After a moment of silence, Liu Mei'er smiled, "It's time for the little girl to go back to the underworld, don't go over the immortal!"
The affectionate and sad gaze swept over Jiang Xiaodong, and Liu Meier walked silently towards the copper basin.
As if grateful that Liu Mei'er was leaving, Jiang Xiaodong, who was unconscious, made a dreamy voice, "Mei'er, don't leave me!"
Liu Mei'er's footsteps slowed, and then she closed her eyes and walked into the copper basin without hesitation, and crystal tears fell behind her.
End
Lin Fan sat on the recliner on the balcony, looking at the figure shuttling between the kitchen and the dining table, with a happy smile on his face.
After more than a month of recuperation, the injury has basically stabilized, but the body is still very weak.
Ouyang Lan took off her kitchen robe and came to the balcony, hesitated for a moment and said, "My dad and my mom want to see you!"
