Chapter 158 The most annoying thing is using your brain
Sanni sat there, trying to recall what happened that day.
The four of them walked to stay close to home and did not eat or drink on the way.
After paying homage to the Three Pure Ones, they drew lots when they came back. After interpreting the lots, the four of them returned.
Nothing special happened after she came back, until her mother fell ill, and then Ling'er fell ill.
Shen Ru asked her, "Did all four of you draw lots?"
Sanni nodded, "The Taoist priest said that we are destined to be together, and he won't charge money for the interpretation."
"Did he call you?"
"yes."
"Show me the signature, and your mother's as well."
Sanni took out the lot from her purse and then took out another one from her mother's purse.
Ji Qingling took it back and the two tickets looked the same.
As soon as he thought about it, spiritual power was attached to it. One of the sheets turned into ashes instantly, while the other one turned into a talisman, exuding a hint of spiritual energy!
!!!
Talisman, isolation talisman?
But it's not as simple as isolating spiritual energy! Ji Qingling said truthfully, "I haven't seen it!"
The one who was most knowledgeable about talismans among the three didn't recognize it, and the other two knew nothing about it.
Ji Qingling thought of something, "Did your mother suddenly scream today?"
"Yes, but these days, my mother often suddenly screams."
After asking about the time, Ji Qingling suspected that the two people suddenly shouted at the same time.
Doesn't it follow that these symbols are connected to a certain person or object, and will absorb the energy of these people at the same time?
But what to do next? Ji Qingling looked at Ji Zuo.
Shen Ru also had an expression that said, "Junior brother, you should think of a solution quickly."
Ji Zuo has a big head.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's best to find the Taoist first. Should we destroy these talismans or not move them first, so as not to alert the enemy?"
"If we destroy them, they will definitely know. Then they will find a place to hide and retreat, and come out again after a few years to continue to harm others. Then our efforts will be in vain."
"Senior sister is right. I can use healing magic to keep these people alive, but if there are too many people and the time is too long, even if a real fairy comes, there will be nothing I can do!"
Li Da was standing aside and was confused. The woman's husband and daughter also looked like they had no idea what they were talking about.
Ji Zuo felt that there was no need to keep this matter secret, as the Taiyi clan did not have the virtue of doing good deeds without letting others know.
"Your wife and other sick people are probably under some evil spell. We will try to save them."
Judging from the expression on the man's face, he probably doesn't believe it.
"Brother, I think it would be better to find someone from the government to see how many people have been bewitched by the evil spell. It would be best if we could gather them together."
Shen Ru asked Li Da, "Who is the most powerful official in your city?"
"County magistrate."
"Junior brother, go and take care of the county magistrate. We will wait here."
…
Okay, the errand boy Ji Zuo grabbed Li Da and flew away with his sword.
Only then did the father and daughter know that they had encountered an immortal! Ji Qingling placed the spirit stone in the woman's hand, the four spirit roots of gold, wood, fire and earth!
If that Taoist is looking for people with spiritual roots, then wouldn’t there be a lot of people with spiritual roots in this county?
Li Da had found out about a dozen people, so wouldn't the number of those he hadn't found out add up to even more? What Ji Qingling cared about most was the talisman.
She didn't tell anyone that she felt she would be able to advance to the third-level talisman master soon.
But she had never even heard of that talisman! She thought that there were still many books about talismans that she had collected that she hadn't read yet, and maybe she could find clues from them.
It takes special techniques to engrave on jade slips, and not everyone can do it.
Therefore, a lot of information is still recorded in the form of books.
Alas, she has not yet obtained the jade slip of Saint Emperor Akihito. This time when she returns, she will definitely complete more tasks and learn the jade slip as soon as possible.
Maybe there is information about this talisman recorded in it.
Fortunately, the monk had the ability of photographic memory, and Ji Qingling flipped through the books that he had not read, but found nothing.
Soon, Ji Zuo brought the magistrate of Jirong County. After the magistrate put down his flying sword, he collapsed to the ground.
He never thought in his life that he would fly in the sky!
Fortunately, the county magistrate is timid but has a normal mind.
He had already heard Ji Zuolue's account of the situation at the county government office.
The reason I'm looking for him now is to ask him to gather people together.
The county magistrate was very efficient in his work.
He used the excuse that the disease could infect humans and found an ancestral temple to gather together all the people in the county who had been possessed by evil spirits.
Fortunately, they are all mortals, otherwise, keeping these 32 people angry at the same time would make Ji Qingling exhausted.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The three of them began to find commonalities among these people, but discovered that except for Li Ling'er and the woman, no one else had gone to the Taoist temple! Therefore, the connection to the Taoist temple was broken.
Ji Qingling stayed in the ancestral hall in annoyance. Now he could conclude that they were bewitched by some evil spell because the thirty-two people shouted at the same time.
That scene is creepy!
But where is the source?
This kind of thing is not the strong point of these three people at all.
Shen Ru said straightforwardly, "The most annoying thing is to use your brain. I'll go out and see if I can find any clues. I can't think of anything just sitting here!"
Ji Zuo was also bored, "Senior Sister, I'll go too."
But Ji Qingling couldn't leave. Without her, those thirty-two people would probably go to see the King of Hell within ten days.
Mo Zizheng walked over and sat down next to Ji Qingling.
"I haven't asked you yet, are your aunt and the others okay?"
"My mother and the others are doing well."
"That's good. I didn't expect that my Ling'er actually has spiritual roots."
"Didn't you tell them about you?"
"No, how can I explain it? When my aunt left, she warned me that from now on I would just be Mo Zizhen. Even if I knew Ling'er had spiritual roots before, I would not tell her."
"Why?"
"Oh, although I have never cultivated immortality, I know that many people have lost their lives early on this road. Countless people have died and their families have been destroyed for some unfounded things. It is really not worth it. I just hope that she can live a peaceful and happy life."
"If you don't have good aptitude, then the path to immortality will be bumpy. It's really better to live happily and carefreely in the secular world for a few decades."
"Qing Ling?"
"kindness?"
"Is my Ling'er going to die?"
Mo Zizhen's voice was tearful, and the despair in his words made Ji Qingling unable to speak.
She couldn't tell a mother, your child is going to die.
"Alas, I sold my dowry just to treat Ling'er, and then I met you. I thought it was God's arrangement that my Ling'er would have a chance to survive!"
"No need to think too much, things haven't come to that point yet."
At this time, Li Da came over and said, "Auntie."
Ji Qingling looked up at him, "What's the matter?"
"I found that among these thirty-two people, most of them have the surname Tong, and those who are not surnamed Tong seem to have some connection with the Tong family."
"What did you say, all of them have the last name Tong?"
"No, no, most of them are surnamed Tong."
Ji Qingling stood up excitedly, "Then let's check these people with the surname Tong!"
