He Yun immediately walked over, stretched out his finger to check Du Ruo's soul, and said with a unhappy face: "Her soul didn't come back, what happened?"
The latter question was directed at the earthworm in the demon-collecting banner, which frightened the earthworm in the banner and trembled. It twisted on the black background of the banner and said in panic: "The mud, the mud has flowed down, there is no human form, and there is no one to guide the one and two souls back to the original body. It must have been lost."
The souls of children are weak. Sometimes they are easily lost when they are frightened, let alone this situation. If Du Ruo's lost one and two souls are still in the Du family, it's okay. If they run away, it will be difficult to deal with.
He Yun immediately bet on Qu Xie, and asked Granny Li and Du Qian to take Du Ruo's favorite things, and shouted to her soul, trying to call back Du Ruo's lost soul and spirit.
Outside the Du family, Yu Yi withdrew her gaze from the bubble and turned to look at Xue Chenjing. Before she opened her mouth, Xue Chenjing had guessed what she wanted to say, and took two steps back. The spiritual line on his fingertips flowed, forming a familiar magic circle.
Xue Chenjing took the opportunity to ask, "Master, do you believe me?"
Yu Yi was puzzled by the question, "Do you still need Du Ruo's breath?"
Xue Chenjing shook his head, the spiritual line on his fingertips stopped, and stared at her with burning eyes, "No, you just need to say 'I believe you'."
The system was speechless. Isn't the host too simple and crude? Can't he learn from Xue Mingyuan's "silent and subtle" way of doing tasks? It really doesn't understand what he is so confident about every day. It
said helplessly: "... Master, how can you coax me? If you say this at this juncture, the heroine will definitely think that you are threatening! Forcing her! You are using the little girl's soul to threaten her!"
Xue Chenjing didn't care what would happen to the little girl. He didn't have any extra sympathy for other people and things. He retorted angrily in his heart: "I don't, I just think this is an opportunity, even if she doesn't say it, I will help her."
When Yu Yi heard the voice of the system, he guessed that he was probably completing some system task again.
What the system said was indeed correct. When she heard Xue Chenjing insisting that she say such an irrelevant sentence at this critical moment before continuing, she did feel a little uncomfortable that she was forced to submit.
But now it is more important to find Du Ruo's soul. The other two monks have already left the Du family. Obviously, they did not find the little girl's lost soul and spirit in the yard. Leaving Du Ruo's familiar environment, the lost soul will be more confused and more vulnerable.
Yu Yi did not want to test him back and forth at this time, so he followed his wishes and said, "I believe you."
Xue Chenjing's eyes lit up instantly, and he narrowed his eyes with joy, and the trembling spiritual lines condensed into a formation.
Some of the aura of Du Ruo that was absorbed earlier still remained in the magic circle. The magic circle started to operate quickly, and the spiritual lines intertwined and gathered inward. When the outline of the big mosquito first appeared, Xue Chenjing suddenly reached out and grabbed a spiritual line, and his fingertips flipped it quickly.
Before Yu Yi could see clearly what he did, the outline of the mosquito that was about to take shape suddenly changed and turned into a palm-sized bird.
"Do you like it this way?" Xue Chenjing asked flatteringly.
This bird made of spiritual lines is smaller than the shrunken Senior Brother He, about the size of a hummingbird. The glowing spiritual lines make up its small wings, and its tail is decorated with beautiful long feather tassels. When it flaps, the shadows of the wings form two golden fans.
It is really beautiful.
Senior Brother He had just finished a good sleep and popped his head out of his purse when he saw such a flashy little bird.
He would never allow a bird prettier than himself to appear near the Green Bamboo Sword. He chirped unhappily and immediately became aggressive, rushing up to peck it.
Yu Yi stretched out his hand to block it, "Senior Brother He, that's not a real bird!"
Xue Chenjing blinked in surprise, and quickly stretched out his hand to fold it in front of Yu Yi's palm. Senior Brother He's sharp beak pecked into his palm, and he hissed in pain.
At this time, the golden hummingbird formed by the magic circle also tracked the breath of Du Ruo's soul and flapped its wings to fly away.
"Are you okay?" Yu Yi caught Senior Brother He back and put him back into her purse. She grabbed his hand, rubbed it hastily, turned around and ran after the hummingbird.
Xue Chenjing touched his palm, and the pain from being pecked disappeared with her rubbing. "It's okay."
System: "... Let's go, Master. The mistress has run far away."
The golden hummingbird crossed several streets and went into the backyard of a clinic. The door of the clinic was closed and it had not yet opened. Yu Yi sneaked in and saw the doctor lying in the backyard. It was the doctor who diagnosed Zhao Zhi's pulse last night.
The doctor was frightened by the clay figurine and seemed to have not recovered yet. He lay in the yard to rest. It was thought that when he broke into the house and escaped, he took Du Ruo's soul and two spirits with him.
But the little hummingbird circled around the doctor for a few times, but could not find Du Ruo's soul. After hovering for a while, it flew out of the clinic and flew along this street to the outside of the city.
Xue Chenjing picked up a round paper money with a square hole that was wet by the morning dew from the corner of the street, frowned and said, "This is troublesome. Someone had a funeral this morning, and her soul may have followed the funeral procession."
The two followed the hummingbird out of the city, and they could see the paper money scattered on the ground all the way.
When they went out of the city, He Yungeng and Wen Li also found the clinic, and naturally they could not find Du Ruo's soul here either.
The two came out of the clinic and saw a monk in white standing on the street. They were both stunned for a moment,
then hurried forward, bowed and said anxiously: "Elder Yi, why are you here? We shouldn't have violated any rules, right?" During the autumn exam, the elders of the four sects would observe the disciples' performance and conduct assessments. When the two saw the elder appear in front of them, they thought that they had violated the rules by taking shortcuts in the human mind state.
Yi Heng smiled and said: "That's not the case. I came here because of the demon mentioned by the little demon Qushen you took in."
The two breathed a sigh of relief. From the battle last night, they were indeed no match for the demon. They took Qushen and planned to take Qushen back to the sect after resolving the matter of the Du family's daughter's loss of soul.
The two immediately took out the demon-catching banner and handed it to Elder Yi.
Yi Heng reached out to take it, waved his sleeves to release the little demon on the banner, and then threw it into a round mirror.
Qu Xie's consciousness was scattered in the mirror without resistance, showing its memory.
The figure in the temple was clearly reflected in the mirror. The girl was wearing a water-green silk skirt, and the long sword was suspended in the air. A white mark was drawn on the seam, and the sword surface was as bright as a mirror, reflecting the evil spirit on the Moon God statue.
Yi Heng's smiling eyes widened a little, and he said happily: "The fifth sword is really the sword of chasing spring. There are not many people who can practice the fifth sword."
When he saw a figure behind him appear in the hall, he suddenly pulled the mirror closer, and his eyes were about to fall into the mirror.
After a long while, he took back the round mirror and said, "I'll take this snake away. You don't have to worry about the devil. Help the daughter of the Du family find her lost soul, and the mission here will be over."
After that, without waiting for their answer, Yi Heng disappeared from the street.
Yi Heng did not return to the Xuanyue Tower where the four sects held the autumn examination, but went straight back to the inner gate of Xiaoyao Sect, crossed many dangerous peaks, and stepped into the Fushui Pavilion where the supreme elder of the sect lived in seclusion.
The Fushui Pavilion was built on the waves, like a nine-layer lotus, with crystal clear petals guarding an exquisite pavilion in the middle. On the pavilion platform in the pavilion, a beautiful woman in a lotus-white palace dress with large sleeves was brewing tea.
Before Yi Heng's figure landed in the pavilion, he heard the other party asking: "You were not in Xuanyue Tower to preside over the autumn examination for the four sects' disciples, why did you come back?"
"Because my son found the mother who I always wanted to find but always missed by accident."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lian paused in her hand, and the teacup fell into the plate with a crisp sound.
Yi Heng quickly handed the round mirror to his mother, raised his sleeves, released the picture in the mirror, and said, "I heard that Lishan and Zhaohua Palace have issued a wanted order for him. If mother wants to snatch him away, she'd better hurry."
Madam Lian stared at the mirror and recognized the swordsmanship of the woman in the mirror at a glance, "The Sword of Spring Chasing." She looked back for a moment, her eyebrows dotted with black ink slightly frowned, and said angrily, "You are so useless. You have been completely defeated by the inner demon in this life."
No wonder the soul lamp always sensed him for such a short time, so that she couldn't find him, and the soul lamp went out again.
Yi Heng looked at the disappointment in Madam Lian's eyes and eyebrows, as if he also saw his mother's daily life of being rejected. He touched his nose and asked, "Then will mother still look for him?"
Madam Lian got up and went back to the house, took out a brocade box from the grid, "Let's go."
Yi Heng glanced at the brocade box and asked curiously, "What is it?"
"The wishing card of Mr. and Mrs. Xue."
...
Fengsheng County.
Without Qu Shen to guide the way, He Yungeng and Wen Li had to go back to the Du family and take some of Du Ruo's skin to chase the soul.
The soul of a child is weak, and the longer Du Ruo's soul is lost, the greater the possibility of separation.

Yu Yi and Xue Chenjing followed the hummingbird to the outside of the city. When they got here, the hummingbird had already slowed down its flight speed. It hesitated for several times and could not find the location of Du Ruo's soul.
The gate of Fengsheng County was wide open. People returned to the city from the Moon Goddess Temple one after another. Some came in groups of three or five, and some came alone.
These people were not only the most devout believers of Qu Xie, but also the ones who wanted the Moon Goddess the most in their hearts. Now that their faith in the Moon Goddess collapsed and they almost died at the hands of the gods they believed in, it was difficult to calm their resentment even if they smashed the Moon Goddess Temple.
Some were angry, some complained, and some lost hope and looked numb.
The weather was not good today. There was only a ray of morning sun. The sky was gloomy, and the people were gloomy. Morning mist floated between the mountains and fields. Yu Yi and Xue Chenjing walked against the flow of people, as if they were walking in a suffocating torrent.
She saw the two elders of the Du family in the crowd. They looked wolves and beasts. After a night, they seemed to have aged a lot. I think they should have understood that the grandson given to them by the Moon Goddess would not come. In their eyes, the Du family was about to be extinct.
The two supported each other and numbly followed the crowd back to the city. Suddenly, they were blocked by people. After a long time, they raised their heads slowly.
What came into view were two beautiful young people, one of whom looked familiar. Mother Du thought of her but was not in the mood, so she and Father Du wanted to bypass them and continue walking back. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
Yu Yi said, "You asked the Moon Goddess to extract Du Ruo's soul and return to her mother's womb, wanting to change the fate of your granddaughter and turn her into a grandson. Now the grandson is gone, and the granddaughter is about to die."
The two suddenly stopped, turned their heads and stared at her, and said in fear, "How did you know?"
What they did was only known to the old couple themselves, even Du Qian and Zhao Zhi were kept in the dark, not to mention the two strange men and women.
Yu Yi did not answer their questions, but said, "Zhao Zhi had a miscarriage, and Du Ruo's soul was lost. If you still want this granddaughter, come with us to find her soul back."
"Who are you? Why do you want to interfere in our family affairs?" Du's father was suspicious and hesitant, but Du's mother nodded in panic, "Okay, okay, I'll find it. How? Where should I look for it?"
She had already lost her grandson, and she didn't want to lose her granddaughter as well. After all, this was the child she had raised since she was a child. She was deceived by the Taoist priest of the Moon God Temple, so she was so confused.
Yu Yi said, "Come with us, shout Du Ruo's name as you walk. You are her grandmother, and you are related to her by blood. It is easier for you to call back her scattered soul than us."
Du's mother nodded and wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Du's father, "You silly woman, you don't even know who they are, and you just follow them!"
"I have seen this girl before. She was brought by my mother-in-law. She won't hurt Ruo Ruo."
Du's father was very wary and full of hostility towards the two inexplicable strangers in front of him. He insisted on pulling Du's mother back.
Xue Chenjing saw them pulling each other back and forth, and he made an impatient sound, waved his sleeves and opened their connected hands, clamped Du's mother's arm, and flashed dozens of steps away, leaving Du's father on the spot.
Yu Yi was startled by his sudden action, and hurriedly stepped up to catch up. When Xue Chenjing looked at her, she nodded, saying that he had done a good job.
Xue Chenjing's expression relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Yu Yi pointed to the paper money on the side of the road and said to Du's mother, "Hurry up and shout louder. Du Ruo's soul has been away for too long. She can't find the way home. If she follows the dead soul into the underworld, she won't be able to come back no matter how you shout."
Du's mother was originally trembling with fear because of Xue Chenjing. When she heard her words, she quickly wiped her tears and shouted tremblingly.
Her hoarse shouts echoed in the morning mist. The wandering hummingbirds flapped their wings, gradually found the direction, and flew to a hillside outside the city.
The fog in the mountains was getting heavier, and the sky was getting darker. A new grave appeared on the desolate hillside in autumn. They walked around the new grave and went deeper into the woods. The hummingbird finally stopped at a pool in the woods.
In the pool, Du Ruo, who had only one soul and two spirits, could only show a vague outline in the morning mist. Her right hand was being pulled by someone and was being pulled underwater.
Du Ruo's young face was full of confusion. She seemed to have heard something and tilted her head and said, "Grandma seems to be calling me." @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
