As a Celestial Master, Hua Xiangyun, after years of hard work, was finally able to form a contract with the Nine Lotus Cauldron, a treasured artifact left by her grandmaster. Unexpectedly, somethin...
Wu Chenxi couldn't stand seeing these people not enjoying their good lives and having to cause trouble.
Children like this are spoiled by their parents, who have made them lawless and ignorant of the world, which is why they dare to cause such trouble.
"I also saw how pitiful the Lu family couple were. They had worked so hard to raise their child, only to have him replaced inside."
Besides, she's not exactly a heinous criminal; it's just that the child made a mistake and went down the wrong path. I want to give her a chance. Hua Xiangyun didn't go through a rebellious phase, but that doesn't mean she didn't see it.
I remember a child in the same city who couldn't withstand the pressure of studying and living and jumped off a cliff.
She later met that spirit and knew that he had regretted it the moment he jumped out.
Not every mistake can be undone; he can never go back to the way things were.
He remained by his parents' side in spirit form, watching them grieve and lose their will to live.
Because of his momentary impulse, he ruined a perfectly good family.
When she discovered that she could see him, she begged and pleaded to confess to her parents.
I remember I didn't agree at the time. The wound has already been there, why dig it up again?
Lu Ya is in the same situation now, but at least there is still a sliver of hope for a comeback.
Otherwise, once the fake Lu Ya's soul and body become compatible after a while, it won't be so easy to switch back.
Fortunately, the other party's cultivation was not up to par, otherwise her plan might not have been effective.
"I hope that when he comes back, he can live a peaceful and stable life," what else could Wu Chenxi say? Her little apprentice was doing a good deed.
"I understand. If she comes to my door, I'll handle it."
But are you sure she doesn't have the means to directly terminate the contract with the other party?
Hua Xiangyun shook her head. "I'm not entirely sure, but putting myself in their shoes, if someone has been suppressed for too long and suddenly gains freedom, they certainly wouldn't give it up easily."
Lu Ya experienced the joy of freedom, and with someone to take care of her parents, she probably wouldn't want to go back anytime soon.
She'll definitely have to avoid the fake Lu Ya. Since the fake Lu Ya can't find her, she'll naturally try to find a way. She used to be a cultivator and has been wandering for so many years, she must know of your existence.
Hua Xiangyun had considered these things. If Lu Ya had a change of heart or realized her mistake in time, and the two sides could switch identities back without any trouble, it would save her some trouble.
No sooner had they finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
Both master and apprentice had their own guesses. Hua Xiangyun went over and opened the door, and sure enough, she saw the fake Lu Ya.
"Comrade, is Master Wu here?" Because Hua Xiangyun had disguised herself, she did not recognize him.
"Yes, come in." Hua Xiangyun didn't want to waste any more words and simply opened the door.
The fake Lu Ya hesitated only slightly before gritting her teeth and entering the room.
She never thought that the changes in her body could be hidden from these masters, so she simply and openly stated her purpose.
"I regret it now. I think being a soul isn't so bad. I can be free and unrestrained. But she doesn't want to switch back with me. I'm in a mortal body now and can't find her. Please help me, Master. I will reward you handsomely."
The fake Lu Ya took out a box of gold ingots and a compass that she had just dug up.
This compass looks very old; it must have passed through the hands of many masters, as it has a thick patina on the outside.
She knew this was an extraordinary magical artifact, but she only knew some unorthodox cultivation methods. She had discovered the artifact by chance, and since it wasn't of much use to her anyway, she decided to use it as payment.
She had a feeling that the master might not care about the gold ingots, but the righteous people would definitely want this compass.
Sure enough, the witch's eyes lit up; it seemed that her request had been fulfilled.
Wu Chenxi, “…” Before, her junior brother Zhan had come from afar to help her, and she had been wanting to return the favor with a gift, but she hadn’t found a suitable one yet. This compass was quite nice.
"Then give me your original birth date and time, and I'll calculate it for you."
Wu Chenxi pushed the gold ingots and compass aside and accepted the job.
The fake Lu Ya was prepared, respectfully placing her birth date and time on the table, and now she was just waiting for the result.
Wu Chenxi directly pushed the task to Hua Xiangyun, saying, "My apprentice is better at divination and fortune telling than I am. Let her help you find the person."
But you should be prepared in advance, what if the other party is unwilling?
Don't forget that you initiated this, and you were the one who got her to sign the contract. If you forced her, the harm to you would be many times greater.
"I hope we can resolve this peacefully." In just one day, Jia Luya was thinking even more, wondering what she had been pursuing all these years.
He thought he had tricked a naive and innocent girl, but little did he know that he was the real fool.
Therefore, she also begged Master Wu and his disciples for help, hoping to persuade them to willingly switch back their identities.
When Hua Xiangyun stopped what she was doing, Wu Chenxi knew the result was in. "How was it?"
"She hasn't gone far; she's still nearby." Hua Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Lu Ya would abandon the place and run away. Now it seems that she does have feelings for this place, and she doesn't yearn for the outside world as much as she thought.
However, it's broad daylight now, so it's not appropriate to perform a ritual to summon the spirit.
The fake Lu Ya came in a hurry and didn't bring anything. She couldn't possibly shamelessly freeload two meals here.
She's a human being now, and she can't skip a meal. In the end, she decided to go home and cook first, and then come back later that night.
When the night is deep and quiet,
Wu Chenxi followed the direction pointed out by Hua Xiangyun and immediately began the ritual.
Lu Ya was summoned to the Wu family's courtyard, and her heart was filled with panic.
She didn't understand. She was happily playing with those rabbits in the deep mountains, how did she end up here in the blink of an eye?
She hadn't figured out what was going on. Was she not a spirit now, but an omnipotent being?
Upon seeing her own familiar face, she immediately pointed at the fake Lu Ya, "You're the one who's playing tricks! Why did you call me here? We've already switched, and I can't switch back with you."
Having received the "benefits," Wu Chenxi cleared her throat. "I'm the one who summoned you here. I suppose you've heard of the Celestial Master?"
Zhen Luya had indeed heard the elders in her hometown mention it. "So you're a Taoist master?"
"Do you know what a Celestial Master does?" Hua Xiangyun suppressed a laugh, wanting to explain it to the other person.
Unexpectedly, the other party made things easy for her, saying directly that they knew, "It's just about exorcising demons and monsters."
Hua Xiangyun: "So, do you think you're one of them?"
"...How would I know? But I've never done anything wrong."
Hua Xiangyun said, "That's just what you think. The person in question is right here. Ask her what good things she's done and what bad things she's done."
Her act of switching identities with you has already violated the rules of heaven and earth…
