Chapter 93 The Soul Returns to the Underworld
Lele kept asking her about Mo Yusheng's childhood.
For mothers, the most vivid memories are of the fun things that happened when their children were little and the things they were proud of.
With people cheering her on, Zhang Yuegui became immersed in her memories, recounting bits and pieces about Sheng'er's childhood.
Lele comforted her, while Achen used his mental power to create a coffin-like space and seal all the fragments inside.
Then he used the Void Drawing Talisman to draw a Soul Condensation Talisman.
Under the influence of this talisman, Mo Yusheng's fragments of soul quickly coalesced into a human form.
Unfortunately, the soul was shattered so badly that the human form looked like a broken porcelain sculpture and was unable to reassemble itself.
It seems we have no choice but to use the Soul Fusion Talisman.
The Soul Condensation Talisman and the Soul Fusion Talisman were both learned and put to use from the books that Senior Xiao Shi had given him before.
Ah Chen had never planned to learn these two types of talismans before, because he thought he might never need them in his life. He never expected that reality would slap him in the face so quickly.
As Senior Xiao Shi reminded him, he couldn't help but nag in his ear, "This time I helped you cheat, so your test score will be deducted!"
"Fine, fine, deduct as much as you want!" Ah Chen didn't care at all. All he wanted now was to help the female shop owner get out of trouble and also help her poor daughter.
When using the Soul Fusion Talisman, if any soul fragments are missing, they must be replaced with the soul fragments of other people.
Many of the soul fragments collected this time belonged to people who died in the town. Their souls were reluctant to leave and wandered in the human world, but were lost for various reasons.
The soul and the physical body have some similarities. They can also be lost if damaged. However, if the lost part is not important, it will not affect reincarnation.
Ah Chen used over a hundred other people's soul fragments and merged them into Mo Yusheng's shattered soul.
The process of fusing souls was extremely difficult. A full hour of focused concentration made Ah Chen feel like she was about to collapse, but she finally managed to complete her soul before dawn.
The tiny soul was released from the small coffin that Achen had conjured, and when it floated in front of Zhang Yuegui, it looked somewhat bewildered.
But her attachment to her mother was ingrained in her bones, and she instinctively rushed into her mother's arms.
Upon seeing her daughter's familiar face, Zhang Yuegui's reddened eyes instantly became bright and clear, and the resentment and malevolence emanating from her body faded somewhat.
"Waaah! Sheng'er! My Sheng'er! You've suffered so much!" Tears streamed down her face as she looked at her daughter's ghostly form and cried, but dared not move, for fear that she would vanish in the next second.
Although Mo Yusheng's soul has been restored, she has already lost her memories. She is like a newborn baby, acting only on instinct.
She reached out to wipe away the gentle woman's tears, but her hand couldn't even touch her face.
She felt wronged and started to cry.
"What should I do? What can I do to stop her from crying?" Zhang Yuegui asked anxiously.
"She's like an infant right now, not easy to communicate with. The most important thing right now is to send her to reincarnation."
However, this town is a manifestation of your obsession. Every vengeful spirit in the town was forcibly infused into your body by Mo Wuxin and Lin Miaoyan, and tainted with your resentful aura.
As long as you, this vengeful spirit, exist, no vengeful spirit can be freed, including your daughter, Mo Yusheng.
"Unless you willingly shatter your own vengeful spirit body and use your powerful energy to pave a path to the underworld for all the vengeful spirits," Meng Hanhai said.
"I'm willing, I'm willing! Please, Immortal Master, teach me what to do!" Zhang Yuegui said eagerly.
"The Vengeful Spirit Body cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation, but it can at least live for a thousand years without dying or being destroyed. Are you really willing to shatter it?" Meng Hanhai asked.
“I’m willing, I’m willing! As long as my Sheng’er and all the vengeful spirits in the town can be reincarnated,” Zhang Yuegui said.
"First, we must find a spiritual treasure to suppress your resentful aura," Meng Hanhai said.
"You mean this?" Zhang Yuegui took an antique silver lock off her neck.
This was an heirloom of the Zhang family. Because it was made of silver and was quite old, it wasn't worth much money. So when Mo Wuxin was short of silver, he never thought of selling it.
Later, after she became a vengeful spirit, she discovered that this thing would always emit a faint golden light when she went mad, trapping her and suppressing her bloodthirsty impulses.
Over the years, she would forget that she was a vengeful spirit during the day, but sometimes she would remember it at night.
Every time she thought about being a vengeful spirit, she would go mad. It was only this ancestral silver lock that kept her clear-headed. Over time, she came to understand that this thing was a treasure.
However, she knew nothing about cultivation and relied entirely on instinct to practice.
She knew that if she removed the silver lock, she would become very powerful, but she would lose her mind, and she might completely forget her daughter.
So even if she can't become powerful, she will always wear this silver lock.
"It is indeed a rare treasure." Meng Hanhai took it and looked at it, then quickly handed it back to her and made her wear it, afraid that she would go crazy if she left the suppression of this spiritual treasure.
"Actually, there is another problem, which is that someone must use Buddhist or witchcraft to communicate with the underworld and summon the underworld messenger to come here."
Then you shatter the vengeful spirit's body, pave the way to the underworld, and send them to reincarnation.
"But I don't know if any of us can communicate with the underworld," Meng Hanhai said.
Zhang Yuegui became anxious upon hearing this. She had finally gotten a chance to reincarnate her daughter, but what if it didn't work out?
As she grew anxious, her eyes began to redden again. Ah Chen quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, I might be able to give it a try!"
His mother had taught him the basic introductory hand seals of witchcraft, including the Heavenly and Netherworld communication techniques.
However, he had only studied it; he was not proficient in it.
But it seems that apart from him, there is no one else in the team who is proficient in this kind of magic.
"Junior Brother Zuo, this is no joke. Are you really capable?" Meng Hanhai asked worriedly.
At this moment, he wasn't jealous, but genuinely worried.
The Zhang Yuegui in front of us kept oscillating between being conscious and losing her mind. If we could fulfill her wish, that would be fine, but if we failed, she might immediately go berserk and kill us!
"Little Immortal Master, don't be afraid. Just keep trying. If you can't do it once, try twice; if you can't do it in a day, try twice; if you can't do it in a year, try ten years. I believe you will eventually succeed!" Zhang Yuegui said, trying to put on a gentle smile.
Ah Chen: Ten years? Thank you!
As it turned out, Ah Chen was indeed exceptionally talented; he communicated with the underworld after only three attempts.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the Black and White Impermanence arrive together!
Hearing that a vengeful spirit was willing to shatter its own body to pave a path to the underworld for all the vengeful spirits in the town, even the Black and White Impermanence were stunned!
The Netherworld has always kept its distance from beings like the Vengeful Spirit, as these things are far too troublesome to deal with. Once scattered, they will automatically re-condense, making them immortal and indestructible.
Once they intend to harm people, the entire village or town they pass through often finds it difficult to survive.
After listening to everyone recount the cause and effect of the whole incident, both Black and White Impermanence were deeply moved.
After discussing it, the two decided to give Zhang Yuegui a chance.
After learning the Soul-Shattering Technique taught by Hei Wuchang, Zhang Yuegui took the silver lock off her neck and stuffed it into Achen's hand.
"Young master, I will never forget your great kindness! I have nothing of value, so I will leave this silver lock to you as a token of my gratitude." Zhang Yuegui knelt down and kowtowed to him.
"Auntie, please get up! This isn't just my achievement; we all contributed to it." Ah Chen quickly helped her up.
"This is an evil-repelling bead that I forged with my own essence and the power of resentment. Carrying it on your person will protect you from all evil!" Zhang Yuegui then gave everyone a pure and transparent bead.
Then she secretly slipped a particularly large silver-blue bead to Lele and winked at her.
This amulet is different from the others; it not only wards off evil spirits, but also flashes as a warning when encountering malevolent energy, and possesses purifying power.
After doing all this, Zhang Yuegui made hand seals and, enduring immense pain, gradually shattered her resentful and malevolent body.
The two guides extracted the energy from the evil spirits, formed hand seals, and a road covered with flowers suddenly appeared in the night sky of the town.
As they cast their spells, one by one, the vengeful spirits of the town walked onto the flower-strewn road.
Mo Yusheng walked in the middle, and the men, women, and children of the town spontaneously and consciously protected her in the middle, afraid that she would be harmed in the slightest.
Zhang Yuegui's soul gradually dissipated, and the Black and White Impermanence joined forces to form a hand seal, condensing her soul into a bead.
Black Impermanence said to Achen, "Young man, since you possess the bloodline of the Holy Witch Clan, you must also know purification techniques, right?"
If you are willing to perform the purification spell three times, her soul orb will be purified, and we will be able to take her to the underworld.
We happen to be short of a Recorder, an official responsible for recording the good and bad deeds, fortune and misfortune of the deceased in their lifetime.
They receive a salary, and after their hundred-year lifespan, they can choose to be reincarnated.
"Okay, I'll do my best!" Ah Chen said with delight.
Under Achen's purification technique, the dark black soul bead turned into a transparent, ethereal blue, as beautiful as a sapphire.
"Tsk tsk! I didn't expect this woman's soul bead to be so pure. It's clear she was an extremely kind person in her lifetime."
"Young man, thank you for helping our underworld find a good official." Bai Wuchang bowed and thanked him.
"Good deeds will be rewarded. Today, we guided 516 souls from the entire town, which is a great act of merit. All participants will benefit from this." The two guides waved goodbye, and the flower-strewn path behind them slowly disappeared.
Golden rays of light shone down from the sky, and everyone felt a warm sensation as each ray entered their bodies.
Everyone else received more than a dozen strands of golden light, but Achen was surrounded by a beam of golden light, which made Meng Hanhai and the others extremely envious.
The Golden Light of Merit is a rare and precious item. When fighting against others, using it to activate spells will double their effectiveness.
Moreover, this thing is specifically designed to counteract demonic energy and various evil energies, and it can be stored in the dantian for easy access whenever needed, which is extremely convenient.
After the golden light in the sky dissipated, the town also slowly vanished, and a road leading to the next level suddenly appeared before our eyes.
Ah Chen, with his sharp eyes, spotted a frail old woman standing at the intersection; she was the same woman they had encountered when they first entered the Ruins of Return.
"Little child of the Witch Spirit Clan, you are very good. Here is this Fire-Repelling Pearl for you. Thank you!" The old woman walked to his side, put a fiery red pearl in his hand, and then disappeared.
Ah Chen turned to look at his companions, only to find that they didn't seem to react at all, as if they hadn't seen the old woman at all.
He seems to have become a lucky charm today, as everyone seems to be giving him nice things individually.
