Chapter 166 Earth Soul Returns to Body

Zhang Ming took the gourd and breathed a sigh of relief.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said ,

"Great, it's beyond my expectation. Unfortunately, I made preparations just in case."

As he spoke, he pinched his fingers and formed a Bagua formation to surround Gu Qi. The incense candles burned more fiercely. Then the old Taoist priest said,

"I did this to prevent the earth soul in his hand from returning to her body, hehehe..."

Zhang Ming heard this and said coldly, "Then I'll kill you first!"

After he finished speaking, he put away the gourd, and then several people attacked the old Taoist priest together!

He didn't think there was anything special about the Bagua formation that Gu Qi sat in at first, but now he understood the intention of this old Taoist priest.

Now it is basically certain that this old Taoist priest is the real soul snatcher.

He is from Gujia Village, so it must be easier for him to seize Gu Qi's soul when he was a child than Zhang Quezi from the neighboring Guxi Village.

Thinking of this, all the mysteries were solved. The suspicion of Zhang Quezi was mostly misunderstanding.

Fortunately, Zhang Ming was sober enough, otherwise he would have almost believed it after being fooled by the old Taoist priest.

But the more miserable they were fooled, the angrier they were at the moment.

Originally, the old Taoist priest fooled Zhang Ming and the others, thinking that he would trick them to help him deal with Zhang Quezi.

But he didn't expect that now they had fought with him, and Zhang Quezi alone could fight him on equal terms. Now that five people were besieging him, he was directly panicked.

Especially Zhang Ming, who was so angry that he kept launching the most tricky attacks. He gathered the Taoist energy in his hands and kept hitting the old Taoist priest with his palms and fists. For a while, he forced the old Taoist priest to be unable to resist.

Originally a king, he was now attacked by another king with a group of bronzes, and he was destined to lose.

The battle did not last for two minutes, and even the old Taoist priest's real ability had not been tried out. In the warm-up phase, he was beaten down by Zhang Ming and his group.

The moment he was beaten down, the old Taoist priest felt extremely regretful.

He was too confident and thought that his words could deceive Zhang Ming and his group.

If he had known this earlier, he might as well have directly taken out the other souls of Gu Qi, so that he would not have fallen to the current situation.

As he was thinking sadly, Zhang Ming suddenly punched him and knocked the old Taoist unconscious.

Everyone else was stunned for a moment, and then Zhang Quezi said, "Zhang Ming, chant the spell to break the magic at the Bagua formation... Forget it, I'll do it. The gap between your cultivation and that of the old Taoist is too big, and you may not be able to break his spell."

Zhang Quezi stepped forward, then pinched a hand gesture and chanted at the Bagua formation around Gu Qi:

"The source of all laws, the Tao follows nature, I command, break its root, the Tao follows the command of the Heavenly Lord. Break it!"

After chanting the spell, he pointed a regular sword finger at the Bagua formation.

Suddenly, the light of the Bagua formation disappeared, and the incense candles arranged in the shape of the Bagua suddenly went out.

Then Zhang Quezi looked at the willow branches wrapped around Gu Qi and said,

"Soul-locking buckle, this old Taoist is really meticulous. In order to prevent the earth soul from entering the body, he actually locked her body and prevented the soul from going out or in!"

Zhang Ming was a little worried at first, but then he saw Zhang Quezi making some very strange gestures with both hands, and then he reached out gently and untied the willow branches from Gu Qi's body.

After untying it, Zhang Quezi hurriedly said to Zhang Ming: "Quick, let the earth soul out!"

Zhang Ming opened the black gourd without saying a word, and a faint soul flew out. Then Zhang Quezi pointed at the earth soul and said:

"Earth soul Gu Qi, why don't you return to your body quickly? When will you return?"

After the spell was finished, Gu Qi's earth soul floated and slowly approached Gu Qi. But it didn't enter her body, floating around as if it couldn't enter.

"What's going on?" Zhang Quezi frowned!

Then he seemed to think of something and said: "This girl's earth soul has been away from her body for more than ten years, and now it actually rejects it a little."

"Ah? My own soul rejects me? What should I do?" Zhang Ming was stunned.

Then Zhang Quezi said, "By the way, where is the soul-fixing bead on her body?"

Zhang Ming hurriedly ran to the old Taoist priest on the ground and fumbled around, and indeed found a grape-sized black soul-fixing bead.

After giving the soul-fixing bead to Zhang Quezi, Zhang Quezi pinched his fingers, and a stream of Taoist energy directly controlled the earth soul, forcibly put the earth soul into Gu Qi's body, and then directly injected the soul-fixing bead into Gu Qi's body.

Gu Qi's body trembled for a while, and it took a while for the trembling to stop. Then he looked at the people around him and said, "Who are you?"

"Ah?" Zhang Ming's face changed in fear, thinking, no way? Didn't he find the earth soul?

Hearing his exclamation, Gu Qi looked at Zhang Ming, and said with joy, "Zhang Ming!"

Zhang Ming was relieved, but she still looked at the others with a puzzled look.

At this time, the old Taoist priest explained: "The return of the earth soul to the body does not mean that it can remember everyone in the past. But from now on, the people she remembers will definitely not be forgotten."

"Earth soul?" Gu Qi looked at Zhang Ming and said, "Have you really found my earth soul?" Zhang

Ming smiled and said, "Silly girl, it has returned to your body!"

Gu Qi said excitedly, "Really? That's great. From now on, will I remember everyone? Including myself?"

Zhang Ming nodded and smiled.

But then, Gu Qi's expression darkened slightly. But then she quickly pretended that nothing had happened.

But at that moment, Zhang Ming clearly felt that Gu Qi was a little disappointed.

Because from this moment on, Gu Qi's world no longer only remembers the two most important people, but can also remember many people.

But deep in her heart, there are still only her brother and Zhang Ming.

But... now that her soul has recovered, will Zhang Ming still treat her the same way as before?

Zhang Ming once said that after helping her find her soul, they would still be ordinary friends. Seeing

Gu Qi's slight sadness, Zhang Ming was speechless. After all

, his woman was Hong You from the underworld. Hong You had accompanied him for thousands of years since a thousand years ago. Even if he returned to the underworld as the Ghost Emperor again, it was Hong You who accompanied him.

But Gu Qi in front of him could not do that.

Some things are destined, and some things are just passing by. Although he didn't want to hurt Gu Qi, not hurting her meant not promising her a future, because Zhang Ming couldn't give her a future.

As if sensing the subtle emotions between the two, Zhang Quezi and the others went out one after another to discuss how to deal with the old Taoist priest.

At this time, Gu Qi seemed to have mustered up the courage and said, "Zhang Ming, can we still think like before?"

"Maybe, Xiao Qi, I said before that I can't fall in love with you..." Zhang Ming said.

Gu Qi suddenly laughed and said, "It sounds like we were talking about it before, so let's be like before, not boyfriend and girlfriend, but good friends."

Zhang Ming nodded, and then Gu Qi and Zhang Ming hugged each other.
