Yu Wenhai and Zhao Huijing drove over, intending to go directly to the hospital.
As I was getting off the elevator, two people happened to come in from downstairs. Surprisingly, I completely ignored them.
It's normal not to recognize the two of them, but even if Jiang Si isn't a big star, she's still very beautiful, so she's bound to attract some attention.
But these people acted as if they didn't see it at all.
My heart was beating faster with excitement.
Perhaps there really is hope!
Yu Zhong lay in a VIP ward at a private hospital.
As soon as Jiang Si entered, she felt something slowly disappearing.
She ordered, "Don't let anyone in."
"Master Jiang, you don't need to worry, we've already made arrangements." Yu Wenhai was afraid that someone might interfere.
Jiang Si gently pressed her hand on Yu Zhong's forehead. A person's three souls and seven spirits are all hidden on the forehead, and Jiang Si carefully felt it.
It was very calm, as if it were just a soulless shell.
That's a bit tricky.
The couple dared not even breathe loudly.
Jiang Si burned a talisman that appeared to manifest a spirit. In the empty ward, it emitted specks of green light, slowly swaying around Yu Zhong.
Some drifted out slowly through the cracks in the window.
"What...what is this?!" This magic trick scene was quite astonishing.
Jiang Si shot out several more talismans, hitting the door and window respectively, without explanation.
She was afraid that if she explained, the two elderly people might faint on the spot.
These are fragments of Yu Zhong's soul. Perhaps it was the glimmer of hope she gave him that allowed him to barely retain most of it; otherwise, even a celestial being would have a hard time dealing with it.
If Yu Chong's destiny is stolen, his body will be unable to contain his soul, and he will be torn into pieces. When he dies, he will be completely annihilated, and from then on, there will be no connection between Yu Chong and heaven or earth.
After sealing the exit, Jiang Si took out a small porcelain bottle, similar to those used in TV dramas to hold elixirs. As if summoned, the soul fragments flew into the bottle, and soon the room returned to normal.
Jiang Si was very fortunate that when she came over, some magical artifacts that she had been nurturing in her dantian also came with her.
This small bottle was the first magical artifact she crafted herself, and it has the effect of nourishing the soul.
Taking Yu Zhong in would at least prevent the situation from worsening.
Then he took out another pill and fed it into Yu Zhong's mouth.
Whether it was their imagination or not, Yu Zhong's complexion seemed to improve at a visible speed.
After doing all this, Jiang Si explained to her parents, who were watching with pleading eyes, in a evasive manner: "It's like a medicine that can keep him alive."
"Thank you! Thank you!" The two were experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.
Being able to stay alive is the best news; they've become numb to receiving critical condition notices.
"No need to thank me so soon. Yu Zhong and I have a karmic connection, so I have to pay you. The bill will be sent to you after the transaction is completed," Jiang Si said.
Putting aside the question of whether she's short of money, she absolutely has to charge for this kind of work; it's better for everyone.
"Whatever Master Jiang says, that's all." At this moment, as long as it can save lives, money is the most useless thing to them, and they would do anything to go bankrupt.
Jiang Si didn't say much, her expression somewhat serious: "Don't be too happy yet, the battle has only just begun."
Today is the fifteenth, the most yin time of the month.
"Yu Zhong has already exhausted too much energy. Tonight, we must do our utmost to retrieve his entire soul."
“And this can only be done by you.” Jiang Si stared at them and said, “You are his blood relatives, with the deepest bond. His soul and spirit have already gone to the underworld. You must find him before midnight tonight, otherwise even if he wakes up, he will be mentally deranged.”
Fortunately, she gave Yu Zhong a sliver of hope, leaving her mark on his soul. She could sense that he was still safe, though she didn't know where he was.
“Okay, we’ll do whatever Master Jiang says.” The couple didn’t hesitate at all.
Even if it's potentially life-threatening?
"Even if it means trading one life for another!" The tone remained resolute.
Jiang Si had seen too much love from parents for their children, so she wasn't surprised.
Jiang Si nodded, "Then let's not delay, let's go to your house now."
Home is the place where Yu Zhong's spirit is strongest, and it will help in finding his soul.
Yu Wenhai and Zhao Huijing immediately laid off all the household servants, leaving none behind.
Their house is a large villa, and the houses are quite far apart, which makes things convenient.
A full moon had already risen, and in the villa courtyard, Jiang Si gave Yu Wenhai and Zhao Huijing each a red thread.
"This line is blessed by my magic, so ordinary people won't dare to provoke you. Also, this is a soul-guiding bell with Yu Zhong's birth date and time engraved on it. When you shake it, only he will hear it. Once he hears it, he will be attracted here and it will guide you to find Yu Zhong."
"This is the incense to guide the soul. When the incense burns out, it means you are running out of time."
Although their values were already in jeopardy, the two still nodded firmly.
What's wrong with going to the underworld for my son?
It's just the underworld!
It's a good idea to visit the places you plan to go to in advance.
"Now sit cross-legged in the magic circle, and I will send you inside."
Upon arriving at the villa, Jiang Si immediately began preparing the necessary magical array and artifacts.
Jiang Si led them into the Seven Star Formation, which could protect them.
She reminded them once again: "Remember, you must never let go of the red thread in your hands. You are living souls, and to the beings in the underworld, you are a tempting target. If you let go, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The two nodded cautiously.
"Once inside, just go wherever you please. Your blood ties will guide you in the dark."
"I will bring you back before midnight, whether you can find us or not."
Zhao Huijing's expression softened somewhat.
Jiang Si said, "Don't take any chances. If you don't come back, you'll be torn to shreds."
"good."
Jiang Si formed a hand seal and cast a spell. In just an instant, the two opened their eyes and saw the ancient, dimly lit city wall in front of them, with the three traditional Chinese characters for "Gate of Hell" written on it.
Next to them were new ghosts lining up to enter.
Perhaps because they had just died, they still retained the appearance of the moment of death. Some died in car accidents, some from illness, some from natural causes, and some from drowning. The bizarre circumstances shocked the two professors.
Perhaps their scent was too enticing, for they couldn't help but look over, their eyes filled with a sticky, greedy gaze.
It makes you feel like a fish on a chopping board.
The two shuddered, remembering Jiang Si's words, and walked inside without looking around, as if these gazes did not exist.
The ghost guards at the gate, seeing the two dressed smartly, were hoping to skim some money off them. But before they could even speak, they saw the red thread in their hands and fell silent, letting them pass in a polite manner.
The red thread, blessed by a powerful being, deserves the utmost respect.
Only after the two entered did they truly see what the underworld looked like.
Pavilions and towers stand tall, and shops line both sides of the street, many of which are strangely shaped. Ghosts hurry along the road.
It doesn't seem to be particularly scary.
