"Wuwuwuwuwu, Yaoyao, you're finally here. If you don't come, Master will be doomed!"
Inside the Huoyun Temple, Qingyuan was like a rooster that had guessed its moves. He started shouting before Yaoyao even stepped into the door.
His figure flashed and appeared in front of Yaoyao. He squatted down and picked her up as if she were his savior.
Then, without even thinking about it, he walked towards the backyard, and he told her the reason on the way.
"It sounds a bit like science fiction. The person who got into trouble was a tourist who came to burn incense. He was telling me that he wanted to have something calculated, but he suddenly collapsed."
"No matter how I called him, he wouldn't wake up. At first I thought your uncle had lost his soul, but this idea is actually quite ridiculous. Who would want to lose his soul in front of the ancestor's hall?"
In the past, perhaps because of Qingyuan’s low level of cultivation, he did not feel the specialness of Huoyun Temple.
But now it is a little different. After being cleansed by the spiritual tide, Qingyuan's roots and Taoism have made great progress, and his vision has also improved.
It was noticed at a glance that the statue left by the ancestor had the energy of righteousness. This energy, coupled with the runes on the statue, was enough to allow it to rule an area.
Those sinister and enchanting methods could never be used in front of him, but they actually happened, and Qingyuan was really furious.
After all, if even the Grandmaster couldn't suppress a monster, wouldn't it be easy for him to deal with it? All of a sudden, my sense of security was gone!
Of course, human lives are at stake. If such a good person were to get into the Taoist temple, their reputation would be ruined.
No matter it is the first or the second, there is absolutely no problem in asking my own nephew to come.
"The soul left in front of the Grandmaster? That's a bit serious. Did the uncle try to summon the soul?"
"I tried it. I know I'm not good enough, so I used the 'Soul-Calling Talisman' you drew, but the result was the same. I couldn't summon it back."
Facing his nephew's question, Qingyuan answered quickly, which was also what he found difficult.
There are only two possibilities for not being able to summon a soul. One possibility is that the soul is lost and is being held captive by a stronger force and cannot escape.
The other is that the soul is destroyed. In short, the soul is scattered.
Qingyuan didn't quite believe it was the latter. After all, it was too difficult to destroy a soul from such a distance, unless one understood the cause and effect line.
The so-called cause and effect are just a thought away. If you kill the cause, you will naturally get the desired result, killing people completely without leaving any trace.
But this method has too many taboos. Even if it is his own nephew, he cannot perform it unconditionally. If this person really has such a great ability, he would not be the only one to die.
"Yeah, well, let me check on the people first!"
Yaoyao nodded seriously, and while they were talking, the two of them walked into the back hall one after the other.
On the bed, there lay an aunt in her thirties. She was very beautiful, with her hair tied up like a lady, and her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings.
Her face looked very peaceful, and she didn't seem pale as if she had lost her soul. If you didn't know her, you would think she was tired and was lying down to rest!
"It is true that the soul has left, but why shouldn't there be a soul in this body?"
Yaoyao realized something was wrong at first glance. She reached out and patted her uncle who was holding her, signaling him to put her down.
After landing and circling around the people twice, Yaoyao instantly discovered the clue and frowned for a moment.
Taoism has always had the concept of "the unity of spirit and body" regarding the soul and the body. People have a sense of life, and their souls will be in harmony with the body.
It is not until birth that the soul and the body can truly become one. The wandering ghosts from the outside world, even if they take over another's body and get along well with it, are ultimately not their original selves.
But the strange thing is that this body itself has no signs of the birth of a soul. Generally speaking, it is just this physical body, not a living person.
"Ah? Yaoyao, are you saying this is a dummy?"
"That's impossible. I clearly talked to her. How could she be a fake? When she was taking the tea, I accidentally touched her hand, and it was warm."
Qingyuan shook his head after hearing this explanation. It was not that he was being stubborn, but the shock was too great.
If the other party is really a "fake person", then isn't he too bad? He couldn't even see such an obvious problem!
"Uncle Master, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of situation. I don't know either~"
"But don't worry. It's okay if we don't know. We can just ask someone who knows."
These words confused Qingyuan, but when he saw his beloved nephew looking at the lying "corpse", his eyes lit up instantly.
How could he have forgotten this? Where did this fake body come from? No one knew it better than the soul that drove him.
"Yes, yes, uncle, I am not good enough to find it back, but you can do it, Yaoyao."
This seems a bit imprecise. If people are not interested in this fake body 'shell', they can simply refuse to sense it.
This time, the soul that was summoned was not the soul of the deceased. It seemed strange no matter how one looked at it, and Qingyuan couldn't wait to know the result.
So, without Yaoyao saying anything, he quickly cleaned up the "altar".
The glutinous rice was spread in the bowl, and then the incense and candles were lit. Wisps of green smoke floated up, making the hall look a little misty~~
"Is there anything else you need to prepare? Master Uncle is just here to give you a hand!"
Yaoyao heard this and shook her head, "Uncle Master, no need, these things are enough."
Because to be honest, this cannot be considered as "summoning souls", it can be more simply called "searching souls". After all, Yaoyao can't sleep until this matter is clarified.
A "monster" who can use a fake body and fill it with a soul to impersonate a real person will definitely cause chaos.
"You definitely can't run away, hehe, let's see how Yaoyao catches you."
Yaoyao's little mouth slightly grinned, her teeth showing and her eyes invisible. She then clenched her little hands and murmured something through her pink lips.
Then she saw the spiritual energy being drawn and quickly gathered into her palm. She made a seal with her palm and then she slashed her palm towards her body. Then she saw her hair slowly falling.
They suddenly ignited spontaneously without any fire, and wisps of green smoke gathered in front of the handprint. The next moment, the whole room was filled with sharp strange screams.
The originally clean and neat white wall suddenly twisted, and dark-colored mold scars spread and grew rapidly like weeds.
Soon, pairs of ferocious eyes opened, their pupils were either red or weird, making people dizzy just by looking at them.
Not only that, what’s even more terrifying is the incomprehensible whispers, which have such an abstract and terrifying visual impact.
"Fuck..." Qingyuan couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes rolled back and he fainted, his body falling heavily to the ground.
However, Yaoyao was not panicked. On the contrary, she showed a surprised smile. The reason was very simple: she found it!!!
