Chapter 123 The Four Souls Are Gone
Zhong Li then realized who Yu Xiaoluo was talking to, and almost fainted from fright. Zhong Ming quickly supported her.
A powerful aura surged from Yu Xiaoluo's body, causing the male ghost to tremble. "I didn't mean to, and I didn't intend to harm her. It's just that she has a lot of yin energy, and it's comfortable to be around her. Besides, it's too scary outside, and I want to stay with someone."
Why is it scary?
"I saw someone eat some of my friends with my own eyes. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been dead."
Food Souls?
Did you get a good look at that person's face?
The male ghost shook his head. "That person was dressed in a black robe and wore a mask."
Yu Xiaolu pondered for a moment, "I'll send you to the underworld to queue up. If you stay next to people any longer, it will harm their health. At best, you'll be plagued by illness; at worst, it will endanger their lives. In that case, you'll be entangled in karma, and you'll have no choice but to go to hell."
"Are you really sending me to the underworld? Thank you, thank you."
At this moment, the male ghost had gotten off Zhong Li's body, bowed to Yu Xiaoluo, and Yu Xiaoluo cast a talisman, and his figure disappeared.
At this moment, Zhong Li felt completely relaxed, the feeling of heaviness and coldness had disappeared, and she took off her coat.
Although they couldn't see the ghost, those who had watched Yu Xiaoluo's live stream knew what was going on. "Sister Luoluo, thank you for saving me."
Zhong Ming also breathed a long sigh of relief, "Luckily, I brought my little sister with me, otherwise I don't know what might have happened."
Yu Xiaoluo gave Zhong Li a few amulets, saying, "Your yang energy is weak, so avoid places with heavy yin energy. You should carry at least one of these with you every day."
Zhong Li took it and nodded emphatically, "Thank you, Luo Luo."
At this moment, Yu Liang and Zhuo Fan also arrived and sat down. Everyone then happily ate and chatted.
Yu Xiaoluo was still worried about the Soul Eater; she was afraid that the souls of the nineteen girls would be eaten by the Soul Eater.
Actually, we should have summoned it back then and kept it in the space; that way, we wouldn't have to worry.
The space is much larger now; it's no problem to put twenty or so ghosts in there.
Bao Shuoyu sat down beside her and, noticing that she seemed a little distracted, asked, "Is something wrong?"
She felt it was necessary to say something since everyone at this table was from her own shop.
So she lowered her voice and said, "Recently, there have been Soul Eaters, so you should be careful. I have a ritual to perform tonight, Sister Chen, you should come with me too. I'll help you with the rites."
Shen Yujie remained silent for a long time before nodding, even though she was extremely reluctant to leave this place.
The gathering ended at nine o'clock. During this time, Yu Xiaoluo, along with her fortune teller from her esoteric school, gave a rough reading of the fortunes of all the godmothers, godfathers, brothers, and sisters, telling them about the major events they would face in the near future and the things they should pay attention to. Everyone left satisfied.
Yu Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief. They doted on her so much, and she could finally give back a little.
After the event ended, she took the group from the restaurant to Longhu Mountain, letting others watch and learn how to perform the ritual. Since Hua Zi was there today, she let him take charge. She had put a lot of effort into this grand-disciple.
Let's also see how well Hua Zi is doing in his studies lately, and whether he's been slacking off. Anyway, he can't even handle this small matter, so let's just send him back to Xuyue Temple.
That's what they say, but summoning twenty or so souls at the same time is no small matter, and he needs Yu Xiaoluo's help.
Upon arriving at a large open space at the foot of Longhu Mountain, several tables were already set up, and Yu Liang and Zhuo Fan took out the incense, candles, offerings, and other items they had purchased.
Under Hua Zi's guidance, they arranged all the items neatly.
At this time, some family members also arrived one after another, all looking very grief-stricken. They never expected that their child, who had been missing for many years, would die so tragically.
They handed the children's clothes to Hua Zi, who carefully arranged them and wrote their names on them.
Before long, most of the people who were supposed to come arrived, including Nanshan and several police officers.
Nanshan handed the list to Yu Xiaoluo, who nodded.
"Luo Luo, there are three corpses that no one has come to claim. I picked out one bone from each of those three bodies and brought them over." As he spoke, he took three bones wrapped in plastic film from his subordinate's hand.
Yu Xiaoluo nodded and arranged the bones and clothes neatly.
She doesn't need many formalities for summoning the soul, but ordinary Taoist priests, including Hua Zi, do.
After everything was prepared, Hua Zi was still a little nervous because he had never summoned so many spirits before. He quietly said to Yu Xiaoluo, "Grandma, you must help me."
Yu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at him, "You talk too much nonsense."
Hua Zi coughed, then began the ritual of summoning the spirit. He lit incense and candles, burned paper money, shook a talisman, and affixed talismans, chanting, "We have come to this noble place to seek the true spirit. If we have offended you, please forgive us. We only ask for your assistance in quickly revealing the true spirit. May the Supreme Lord Laozi grant our command!"
Suddenly, a cold wind arose, and it seemed as if a wailing sound could be heard.
One after another, spirits appeared, their eyes filled with resentment and ferocity as they stared at the group of people.
Hua Zi continued, “Sisters, you see clearly, you died unjustly. Those bad people who killed you have already received their due retribution. Now, it is your relatives who want to see you one last time.”
The violent aura suddenly subsided somewhat, and the family members, with tears in their eyes, cried out, "Is that my daughter? Where are you? Mom misses you so much—"
Yu Xiaoluo pointed her finger and temporarily opened their third eye.
They saw many spirits, and although they were filled with fear, they were still full of anticipation.
"Xiuer—"
"mom--"
"Yuyu——"
"Big brother, where are Mom and Dad?"
"Dad's gone, and Mom's bedridden and can't come see you, Yu Yu—"
They each claimed their own, wanting to embrace, but it was all just a fleeting image.
Hua Zi reminded them, "You only have fifteen minutes. After that, we'll send them to the underworld to line up so they can be reborn into a good family."
They made the most of that precious fifteen minutes, sharing what had happened afterward and how much they missed each other.
Yu Xiaoluo counted them; there were a total of nineteen souls, but only fifteen came, and four were missing.
Two families were anxiously waiting, but their daughters were nowhere to be seen. So they asked Hua Zi, "My daughter hasn't come. Master, could you please help us find another one?"
Yu Xiaolu went over and said, "I'll do it."
If she couldn't summon them either, it meant that the spirits were truly gone. She asked for the names and birth dates of the two girls and began the summoning process, but they really didn't come.
It seemed that the souls of these four girls might have been eaten, just like Zhang Yue's. Yu Xiaoluo's expression was very solemn.
Nanshan came over and asked Yu Xiaoluo softly, "Luoluo, what's wrong?"
