Lin Xi took a deep breath and became a little more sober.
Even after a person dies, their soul remains.
However, the intense burning will damage both the body and the soul. I wonder if Jiang Ting can survive it.
He can definitely do it!
Lin Xi wiped the dust off her face and quickly formed a soul-summoning incantation, "Open the Heavenly Gate, open the Earthly Gate, may your three souls and seven spirits return swiftly!!"
The golden light flashed, but there was no reaction.
The thunder stopped, the flames died down, and the ruins were devoid of life, exuding a desolate atmosphere.
Lin Xi didn't believe it and strode towards the ancestral hall.
Jiang Chi got up and immediately followed.
Jiang Ji was still in a daze as she watched her younger siblings leave, then ran at the fastest speed she had ever seen.
"Where are you going? Don't go, don't die..."
Jiang Chi grabbed his wrist and gently comforted him, "Second Brother, don't be afraid, let's go find Big Brother."
Jiang Ji nodded obediently, her eyes red-rimmed. "Yes, let's find our eldest brother. Let's find our eldest brother together."
As Jiang Chi ran, he said, "We need to find him alive or dead. If we can't find him, we can't prove that our brother is still alive."
"Walk!"
The three rushed into the smoke, where the air was filled with the smell of burning. The magnificent ancestral hall was now nothing but ruins.
Ashes covered the ground, making it impossible to tell whose ashes they were.
Lin Xi stopped, sensing the presence of the fragments.
A dark object hung in mid-air, emitting a faint red glow, with a pile of ash below it.
Lin Xi caught the culprit and carefully examined the pile of ash, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Jiang Chi's eyes widened. "This, this is?"
Jiang Ji knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. "Big brother, may you rest in peace. I'm going to collect your body now... no, I'm going to collect your ashes."
Lin Xi pulled up her mentally challenged second brother and quickly explained, "The statue was burned to ashes, it's not the eldest brother."
Jiang Ji froze for a moment, then kicked him ten times, yelling, "You bastard, it's all your fault!!"
He pouted and started crying again, "Waaah... Big brother, where is big brother..."
Lin Xi patted his shoulder, "Don't cry."
Jiang Ji wiped his nose, his eyes wet, "Little sister, which pile of ashes is big brother?"
Jiang Chi was speechless. "Do you really want your older brother to turn to ashes?"
"No, no," Jiang Ji sobbed. "What has my older brother become?"
Just then, a firefly flew out from a crack in the rock, its rear end emitting tiny green lights.
The little insect circled the three of them once, then flew away into the distance and disappeared into the night.
Jiang Ji looked at the little firefly, feeling as if his heart was being gripped by a giant hand, making it hard to breathe.
He murmured, "Big brother turned into a firefly and flew away, big brother turned into a firefly and flew away..."
Jiang Chi's expression was complicated. "My elder brother was aloof and domineering in life, but he has actually turned into an adorable little firefly."
Lin Xi said calmly, "That was just an ordinary little insect. You've mistaken the real thing again."
Jiang Ji covered her face, feeling a little embarrassed.
Jiang Chi, with one hand in his pocket, asked, "Where exactly is Big Brother?"
“The ashes of the idol are here, he must be nearby.” Lin Xi closed her eyes and sensed the surrounding atmosphere.
Chaos, utter chaos.
Jiang Ting's presence completely disappeared.
Cannot find it.
Huh? Her scent.
Lin Xi pushed aside the large rock beside her with one hand, and a faint golden light came into view.
This is a peace charm she drew!
Back when she was at the Jiang family home, she went to chase after Shi Kong alone and casually tossed down a yellow talisman.
Unexpectedly, the older brother carried the amulet with him.
The amulet will keep you safe; your brother's soul will be alright.
Lin Xi took a breath and began clearing away the small pebbles.
The yellow talisman lay quietly on the ground, its light growing weaker and weaker until it was about to go out.
Lin Xi grabbed a corner of the amulet, bit her fingertip, and lightly touched it to strengthen the amulet's power.
She could feel it; her brother's soul was truly inside!
Seeing her excited expression and expectant eyes, Jiang Ji asked, "Big brother turned into a yellow talisman? Is this the right way this time?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Big Brother's soul is in the amulet... No, that's not right!"
She turned the yellow talisman over and over, examining it carefully.
The figure was tattered and broken, with only three souls and two spirits remaining.
Humans have three souls and seven spirits, none of which can be missing.
An incomplete soul cannot be reincarnated.
Lin Xi frowned, "My elder brother is missing five of his souls."
Jiang Ji stamped his foot anxiously, "How could this happen?"
Lin Xi explained: "The seven souls are respectively in charge of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire. If any one of these emotions is amplified, it will generate obsession."
"The eldest brother left behind evil and desire, and deliberately let the other five souls escape."
Jiang Chi calmly analyzed, "My elder brother told me in his letter that he was going to seek his own freedom. Perhaps his five souls would fly to all parts of the world, see the beautiful scenery, and then return."
Lin Xi shook her head, "The soul carries a part of the original body's memories, and over time it will dissipate into the world and cannot automatically return to the original body."
Jiang Ji gritted her teeth, "What should we do, little sister?"
Lin Xi pondered for a moment, "Eliminate my elder brother's obsession and retrieve the five souls."
Jiang Chi cracked his knuckles. "We'll go find them, no matter where we are, we'll find the five souls and piece together our complete brother."
Jiang Ji agreed with him, "What you said makes sense."
Jiang Chi reached into his pocket and raised the ghost-finding gun. "I'll go back to the lab right away and improve this gun to locate Big Brother's five souls."
"No need, I'll do it."
Lin Xi stained herself with her own blood, extracted a trace of Jiang Ting's soul power, and drew a location talisman.
The locator flew into the air and transformed into a simple map with five small points of light flashing.
Lin Xi held out her hand, "Your gun."
Jiang Chi roughly understood and extended his ghost-finding gun.
Lin Xi inserted the locator into the gun. "Try it. You can locate yourself anytime, anywhere. You don't have to worry about losing signal."
