Chapter 9: Soul Calling



Jiang Jingjing glanced at An Rugu with pitiful eyes, her face full of help.

An Rugu received her signal, but did not speak for her. Instead, she spoke for Liu Sang: "Your mother is right. Although the pond is not dangerous, you still can't go there."

The village chief couldn't help but think the worst when he heard this: "Is there a ghost in that pond? But no one has ever drowned in that pond. After all, it's so shallow!"

The village chief turned around, mentally prepared. If An Rugu said there was a ghost there, he would immediately call back the people nearby.

Fortunately, An Rugu slowly shook his head: "There are no ghosts there."

She had been to the pond, which was only 500 meters away. The scenery there was beautiful, the pond was crystal clear, and there were no water monkeys or water ghosts living in it. If there were any, she would have saved them long ago.

Jiang Jingjing felt a little aggrieved: "Since it's not dangerous, why can't I go?"

An Rugu said calmly: "You have a weak fate, and it's easy for you to lose your soul if you get frightened."

Jiang Jingjing: “!!!”

Liu Sang: “!!!”

So the reason for the lost soul is ultimately due to my daughter’s physical condition?

Liu Sang didn't believe in gods and ghosts before, but the timing of the Five Emperors' Coins taking effect was too coincidental, so the balance in his heart couldn't help but tip, and he believed An Rugu's words 80%.

When it came to her daughter's matter, Liu Sang did not dare to be vague and asked curiously: "But she didn't seem to have this situation before."

"Because she has never been this scared before. After this incident, her mind is unstable and she will lose her soul more and more easily."

Liu Sang was very anxious when he heard this, and he was worried: "What should I do?"

Today's strange and bizarre incident where the person couldn't be woken up no matter how hard she tried really scared her. She didn't want to experience it again, especially if it happened to her daughter.

An Rugu: "People with weak horoscopes often have poor immunity. Let her exercise more. When she is in good spirits, she will not lose her soul so easily."

Although An Rugu said so, Liu Sang still felt unsure.

It's like going to the hospital and the doctor tells you to drink more hot water. This prescription sounds slow to work and is illusory.

Liu Sang seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and her gaze fell on the Five Emperors' Coins: "These ancient coins are so useful, can you let her wear them? Auntie won't take advantage of you, I'll pay you whatever you want."

Everyone present saw the entire process of the Five Emperors' Coins taking effect. Jiang Jingjing was healed almost as soon as she put it on.

An Rugu recalled the box full of ancient coins in the Taoist temple and estimated in his mind that he could probably make dozens of Large Five Emperors Coins.

There's no problem in giving away the Five Emperors' Coins.

An Rugu's voice was as clear as a spring flowing over rocks. "The Five Emperors' Coins carry the Yang energy of ten thousand people. They can ward off evil spirits and drive away evil spirits. They can indeed cure her soul-leaving disease. You don't have to buy them from me. I'll give them to her directly, for free."

When Liu Sang heard this, she disagreed. She didn't want to take advantage of the child, not to mention that she liked An Rugu very much. An Rugu's nominal master had passed away, so she must not be well off, and it was even more impossible for her to take her things for free.

Liu Sang then took out his phone, found An Rugu's WeChat, and said decisively: "Brothers should be clear about accounts. I will not give you less than a penny. Tell me how much you want and I will transfer it to you."

An Rugu heard Liu Sang say this and knew that she was very stubborn and could not be persuaded. She was silent for a while and then temporarily set a price: "Five thousand each."

The Taoist temple doesn't have any profit points now. Although she has some money, she will end up spending all her money if she continues like this. She has to find a way to make some money.

Liu Sang's request to purchase the Five Emperors' Coins gave her some ideas - she could make some Five Emperors' Coins and sell them to people in need.

But the Five Emperors' Coins are limited in quantity and will be gone once they are sold, so not everyone can sell them. Wait until she goes back and draw some more talismans.

She calculated with her fingers and found that the person she had met before would be coming to the Taoist temple soon.

Liu Sang didn't think it was expensive at all. Instead, he felt it was extremely cheap. His daughter would have to pay several thousand yuan for any tutoring class she enrolled in. Five thousand yuan for such a useful thing was just a drop in the bucket in comparison.

Liu Sang happily turned around and was relieved to see An Rugu accept the money. She held An Rugu's hand and stopped her from leaving: "You haven't eaten yet? Come on, come on, Auntie will give you some."

If she was normal, she might have agreed, but she shook her head slowly: "I have eaten, and don't worry, her soul has not been found yet."

Liu Sang and the village chief thought Jiang Jingjing was completely recovered: "???"

An Rugu was not delaying on purpose, but Liu Sang kept pulling her to talk, so she had no chance to speak, and the matter of losing her soul was not particularly serious: "The Five Emperors' Coins can stop her from having nightmares, and it will be easier for her to lose her soul in the future, but the soul she lost before is still outside."

Liu Sang thought about it and suddenly realized: "The Five Emperors' Coins can only play a preventive role!"

"Um."

Liu Sang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Then what should we do?"

Unconsciously, her tone was filled with trust in An Rugu, and she was completely different from before.

The village chief looked at his energetic granddaughter and scratched his head, puzzled: "How come she looks exactly the same as usual when she lost her soul? She looks quite normal."

"The symptoms of soul loss don't appear quickly. After today, she will become less and less energetic." An Rugu looked down at the lying Jiang Jingjing: "You lie down in bed, we'll be back soon."

Jiang Jingjing vaguely felt that they had caused trouble, but she was extremely curious about the lost souls and wished she could stay beside An Rugu and listen.

But since An Rugu said so, she had no choice but to lie down obediently, cover herself with the quilt, and reveal a pair of round and watery eyes from the top of the quilt: "Okay~"

An Rugu took the village chief and Liu Sang to the kitchen.

As the two looked at each other in surprise, she casually poured half a pot of water into the iron pot, took out three chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and handed them to Liu Sang: "Hold these three chopsticks tightly together, place them vertically in the middle of the iron pot, say Jingjing's name, tell her to go home quickly, then scoop up a bucket of water with your hands, pour it on the chopsticks, and stick the chopsticks into the water, and the chopsticks will stand up."

Liu Sang took the chopsticks, her eyes full of surprise. She wrote down the steps and stared at the big iron pot in confusion. This iron pot is not a frying pan, how could the chopsticks stand up in the water?

Liu Sang held the three chopsticks doubtfully, and as An Rugu had said, he read out Jiang Jingjing's name and told her to come back soon. Then he scooped up a bucket of water, poured the water on the chopsticks, and gently put them down.

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the three chopsticks did not fall down as they expected, but stood up upright!

Without anyone to support them, the chopsticks stood upright in the center of the round-bottomed iron pot by their own strength.

An Rugu ignored Liu Sang who was shocked, and looked at the village chief next to him: "Village chief, do you know where the pond is?"

"Well, of course I do."

"Go to the pond and shout Jingjing, come back soon. Keep shouting all the way until you get home."

When the village chief heard that he had a mission, he quickly agreed, turned around and trotted out, and soon disappeared.

An Rugu herself did not go, not because she was too lazy to move, but because it would be useless for her to go. To call back a soul, one needs blood relatives to call it back.

The wandering souls are in a daze and have almost no memories. They will only react when they hear the calls of their blood-related relatives.

Liu Sang stood there, looking at the three chopsticks in front of him that almost violated the laws of physics. His eyes almost became mosquito-repellent and his worldview was on the verge of shattering.

Who is she, where is she, what is she doing?

This place is only 500 meters away from the pond, and it takes more than ten minutes to go back and forth. After a while, the village chief came back in a hurry.

"Jingjing, go home quickly!"

The villagers passing by saw the village chief shouting everywhere and didn't know he was calling for the soul. They thought he was calling for Jingjing to go home for dinner, so they smiled and passed by.

The village chief's vigorous voice came from far away and soon arrived at the door of the house.

Strange things happened again.

The moment the village chief raised his right foot and stepped over the iron threshold of his house, Liu Sang watched the three chopsticks in front of him fall down with a snap.

Three chopsticks are pressed tightly together, placed on the edge of the iron pot, with their heads facing in one direction.

Liu Sang looked in the direction the chopsticks were pointing and his eyes widened instantly. Isn’t this the direction of his home?

The village chief had just stepped in from the threshold where the chopsticks pointed and was hurriedly walking towards the kitchen.

He had no idea that the chopsticks were pointing at him. He was a little out of breath from jogging all the way. He put his hands on his waist and said, "Did you succeed?"

In the eyes of Yin Yang, the peaceful world became another one. A spirit that looked exactly like Jiang Jingjing jumped into the gate with the village chief. Without anyone to guide him, he walked straight to Jiang Jingjing's house and then disappeared.

An Rugu closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again. The world was completely new. She nodded slightly and said, "Success."

"That's good, that's good." The village chief breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, An Rugu did not stay any longer: "Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now."

Liu Sang originally wanted to cook a meal for An Rugu, but now he was still immersed in shock and didn't pay any attention to what An Rugu was saying.

Just as he was about to leave, the village chief seemed to have thought of something and slapped his forehead, "Oh, I didn't know those ancient coins were so useful. My family has a few of them, but I sold them all. If you want to collect them, Old Sun in the village likes to collect those things. You can go and see him."

An Rugu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, I'll go take a look in a few days."

She almost forgot that there was a person in the village who specialized in collecting antiques. That person was called Sun Aiguo. He opened an antique shop in the town and the antiques were basically collected from the surrounding villages.

A little while after she left, the village head's wife Zhang Xiumei came in with a man in a white coat and walked straight to her granddaughter's room. As they walked, they said anxiously, "Doctor Sun, my granddaughter has been having nightmares. Can you tell me what's going on? Does she need to go to the hospital?"

Doctor Sun is the doctor at their village health center. He is in his forties and has good medical skills. When Zhang Xiumei learned that her granddaughter had a strange disease, she immediately went to call Doctor Sun.

Doctor Sun felt that this matter was a bit tricky and he was unsure, so he walked in with big strides, expecting to see a young girl lying on the bed, sweating profusely.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiang Jingjing writing at the desk.

Jiang Jingjing felt bitter as she wrote her apology. After what happened today, her mother would definitely ask her to write an 800-word apology.

Well, I'd better finish it quickly and hand it in.

Doctor Sun was surprised: "Isn't this all right?"

Zhang Xiumei didn't know what was going on until the village chief told her that An Rugu had been there. Then she suddenly realized, "Oh, Xiao Gu cured her. She's amazing. She's really a college student!"

As if she was afraid that Dr. Sun didn't know, she proudly added: "There are too many college students, but that child is the first prestigious university student in our village, from Nancheng University! He was even the top student in our city that year!"

village head:"……"

An Rugu didn't study medicine.

Doctor Sun had heard of her. After all, he would hear about her from the villagers who came to the health station every now and then, and no one could forget her.

Zhang Xiumei withdrew her thoughts and said a little embarrassedly: "Then I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip for nothing."

Liu Sang had a headache, so he pulled Doctor Sun over and said, "Doctor Sun, please help me. I'm a little frightened."

Doctor Sun: “…”

Why are both mother and daughter so scared? Are they so timid?

Liu Sang met the other party's surprised gaze and sighed quietly. No one knew what she had experienced today.

What happened today may take her a lifetime to heal.
