Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Shen Qing trembled and became weak...
Chen Qing stood up slowly with his trembling body and wiped the cold sweat from the tip of his nose.
The so-called fearlessness of death was nothing but nonsense used to intimidate the other party. As for her guess that Baishuisha had hidden the body of Xisangyao, it was also a guess made in a hurry.
She never thought that Bai Shuisha really listened to it. She accidentally stepped on the other party's soft spot.
In her previous life, after Baishuisha died, the Happy Funeral Demon fled for many years, committing many evil deeds. She tried to figure out the Happy Funeral Demon's life experience and speculate the whereabouts of her body, but she searched through the archives of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple and found no documents related to the Happy Funeral Demon's life experience.
My senior brother said that before Bai Shuisha died, he said, "You will never find her."
At first, the brothers didn't understand what he meant. But after the incident with the Happy Funeral Demon slaughtering the Chen Mansion and their long and arduous search for her without success, they finally understood what he meant. Without the Happy Funeral Demon's body, there was nothing they could do to her.
Therefore, Senior Brother speculated that Baishuisha hid the body of Xisangyao and might have deleted the documents related to Xisangyao's life experience.
Chen Qing had always been skeptical about this speculation, but now after seeing Bai Shuisha's attitude, she was convinced.
But what she was not sure about was whether Bai Shuisha would move Xisangyao's body because of her words. However, when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, Chen Qing felt that the possibility was zero.
In their previous life, they used fortune-telling, formations, summoning spirits, and all sorts of other magic tricks, but they still couldn't find the body of the happy funeral monster no matter how hard they tried. This place must have something special about it. If the body is in such a safe place, how could he move it so easily?
Chen Qing leaned over to pick up the black hair left by Bai Shuisha on the ground. She carefully wrapped the black hair with talisman paper to isolate its smell, and then put it back into the brocade bag. When she stood up, a hint of cruelty flashed across her eyes.
She lay back on the couch in the same position as before.
But after a moment, the person in the house who was immobilized by Bai Shuisha suddenly woke up.
In their eyes, Chen Qing finally and slowly "woke up".
Mother Liu went up first and helped her up carefully, then asked, "Madam Shen, I wonder how my Wan'er is doing?"
To avoid alerting the enemy, Chen Qing had no intention of telling them what had just happened. Instead, he said to Liu's mother, who was looking expectant, with a grim expression, "Madam Liu's situation is rather special. She seems to be in a state of terror, which is why her soul has not returned yet."
Chen Qing raised his eyes, his eyes thoughtful as he asked, "I wonder if Madam Liu has any sisters or brothers."
As soon as these words came out, Liu's mother asked in confusion: "Why does Madam Shen ask this?"
Chen Qing said, "When I was summoning Madam Liu's soul, I seemed to hear her spirit calling out something... Sister, that's why I'm asking. Even the lotus hairpin couldn't awaken Madam Liu's soul before," she said with a troubled look on her face. "I think if I could bring something belonging to someone she cares about, perhaps I'd have a better chance of summoning her soul back."
"You know, the longer the soul is away from the host body, the harder it will be for Madam Liu to wake up. If time goes on for too long, even Senior You Daozi might not be able to call back Madam Liu's soul. By then, Madam, you wouldn't want to see Madam Liu live out her life in idiocy, right?"
These heartfelt words made Liu's mother's face turn completely pale. Thinking that her daughter might become mentally ill in the future, she was in a state of panic all day long.
Mother Liu said in a panic, "Please, Madam Shen, save my daughter! I, I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do. Wan'er really has no sisters or brothers. Where can I find what you want? Can you use my blood and my flesh? Wan'er is the flesh that fell from my body. Now I will use my blood and flesh to pave the way for her and bring her back, okay?"
Chen Qing was terribly indifferent at this moment, as if she had separated from her flesh and blood body, her soul floating high up, watching Liu's mother pleading heartbreakingly for her daughter.
Under normal circumstances, she would be moved by this, would help Liu's mother up, and assure her that she would do her best to bring back Liu's soul.
At this moment, Liu's mother and Liu Wanxiu's family are very likely to be involved with the funeral-happy monster. Chen Qing can no longer empathize with them and cannot feel their pain.
Shen Qing put on an embarrassment, her eyes full of sympathy. She hurriedly helped Shen's mother up, but her words were cruel: "I'm afraid it's impossible. Even if you use all your flesh and blood to pave the road, you can't bring back Madam Liu." She lowered her eyes, with pity in her eyes, but underneath her skin was hypocrisy and indifference. "I want to get to the bottom of it. You know the principle of removing the firewood from under the cauldron."
"Mrs. Liu's soul is haunted by obsession. In her memory, there was an elder sister. Now, only by finding something related to that elder sister can I do my best to help her break the nightmare and return to reality." She said half-truthfully.
It was true that she was possessed by obsession, and it was also true that she had an elder sister in her memories, but the words that followed were all made up by her just to trick her mother.
If there really is such a person as Ajie, then the identity of the Happy Funeral Demon is clear from now on, and the only thing missing is Baishuisha.
Once their identities are ascertained, it will be easier to find their bodies, as well as the people involved behind the scenes, and who is targeting the Shen family and her.
After hearing Shen Qing's words, Liu's mother felt as if the sky was falling. She said, "Where can I find a 'sister' out of thin air? What should I do?"
Seeing that Liu's mother was truly troubled, he said solemnly, "Why don't you go and check? What if Madam Liu played with a neighboring sister when she was young, but you have forgotten such a person? Madam Liu's memories are not false."
When Liu's mother heard this, she actually felt that there was some truth to it. She said, "Okay! Okay! I'll check it out right away, right away!"
After saying that, she turned around in a hurry, but seemed to have thought of something and turned back. She was so anxious that she forgot to ask her daughter what to do next.
"I don't know... what should we do with Wan'er right now? You said that if a soul leaves the body for too long, it will never return. I wonder if there's a time limit, specifically how many days..."
Chen Qing said: "Three days. Once three days pass, even a Daluo Immortal will find it difficult to save her."
Mother Liu's face turned pale, and several fine lines appeared around her eyes. She stammered, "Three days, how can it be three days... It's so short, how can I check..."
Chen Qing looked at her quietly. For a moment, the already old woman showed even more signs of erosion by time. Her hunched back made her look like an old woman.
"That's up to you, madam. All I can do is try my best to summon Madam Liu's spirit. Success or failure depends on this one time."
Mother Liu choked up and said, "Thank you, Madam Shen, for your help today." She raised her rough and cracked hand and slowly stroked the side of her daughter's face.
The palm of the hand was dry and the joints were swollen like tree roots. It was obvious that they were hands that had been tired for many years.
Before Liu Siqing passed the imperial examination, the couple lived a hard life and had to do all the hard work themselves. Even after Liu Siqing finally passed the imperial examination, they were inevitably marked by the hardships they had suffered, so that they looked older than their peers.
"When Wan'er was born, I was already nearly 40 years old. As a result, she has endured a lot of stares and pressures that shouldn't have been faced by her age." Liu's mother's eyes were filled with heartache. "I know they laugh at me for giving birth to a daughter at my old age, and say that my Liu family will have no successors in the future."
"But I don't complain at all, because she is the treasure I begged from God with all my might."
Hearing this, Chen Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and at this moment her heart was finally moved.
Mother Liu continued, "I can't bear to see her suffer, I can't bear to see her suffer, I just wish I could always hold her by my side and protect her. Now she has suffered such suffering for no reason, I feel my heart is broken." She was in tears, and she knelt down in front of Chen Qing with her skirt lifted up, "If you can save her, please do everything you can, Madam Chen, even if it means taking my life or cutting off my flesh, I am willing to do it."
"I'm here, thank you Madam Shen first!" Her back suddenly hunched and she bowed deeply to the ground.
These words were spoken with great reason and deep emotion.
Shen Qing was extremely shocked, but she also reacted quickly and dodged away. At other times, she felt angry and upset. Liu's mother was willing to kneel down and beg a junior like her for her daughter. Her kindness was really commendable, but it was undoubtedly putting her, the person involved, on the fire!
If this matter were to get out, if Liu Wanxiu was rescued, she would gain a good reputation. If she failed to rescue her, she would have wasted Liu's mother's kindness and become an indirect "murderer" with poor skills.
What a disrespectful move! As expected, none of those people who hang around in Chang'an City are easy to deal with. They are all greasy old foxes!
The only sympathy left in Chen Qing's heart completely disappeared because of her kneeling.
Since Liu's mother took advantage of her lack of experience and used her status as an elder to put invisible pressure on her, she didn't need to hold on to that useless conscience anymore and had to make good use of this great opportunity.
So Chen Qing dodged and helped Liu's mother to her feet, saying, "We can't just sit and wait for death now. Madam Liu's spirit is unstable. We need to find a place with strong evil energy and use that evil energy to suppress the remaining soul in Madam Liu's body. Otherwise, let alone summoning her spirit, I'm afraid Madam Liu will die before that because of the loss of her remaining soul."
Mother Liu stood up with her help. Upon hearing this, she was horrified, her hands trembling. "My daughter might die? What is this evil place?"
Chen Qing said, "As far as I know, evil spirits are possessed by extremely vicious desperadoes. If we want to subdue Lady Liu's soul, we must have some evil spirits. But those desperadoes are probably only found in bandit areas..."
Mother Liu swayed unsteadily, and she supported the man who was about to faint. Her eyes lit up and she said, "I know! There's another place with extremely strong evil spirits!"
"Where?!" There was a flash of hope in Liu's mother's eyes.
"Imperial Prison." Chen Qing said word by word.
.
After leaving Liu's house, Chen Qing ran into Liu Jiuyue, who looked unhappy. She had a calm expression on her face.
She had done what she should have done anyway, so could it be possible that Liu Jiuyue still wanted to beat her?
When Liu Jiyue saw Chen Qing coming out, she knew that she had taken over Liu Niangzi's job. She was so angry that she fell back and immediately walked towards her quickly, holding a small paper man.
At this time, when Liu's mother, who was seeing off the guests, saw Liu Jiuyue, she stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Deputy Envoy Liu and Madam Shen, for coming to help. Thank you so much!"
Chen Qing grabbed Liu Jiuyue's arm and pulled the confused person towards the carriage, saying loudly: "Madam, there is no need to thank me. Just do as I say. My brother and I will go back to discuss countermeasures and will do our best to rescue Madam Liu!"
Upon hearing this, Liu's mother burst into tears of gratitude again.
After finally getting rid of Liu's mother and pulling Liu Jiuyue, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, into the carriage, Chen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely solemn. Liu Jiuyue said coldly, "Tell me, why did you rush forward to summon the soul of Lady Liu? If you say that you have a deep relationship with her, I don't believe it."
How could someone who only met once become your best friend the next moment?
