I followed these ribbons all the way.
But before long, my steps began to hesitate.
Because the direction indicated by these colored ropes left by Xiao Mi has completely deviated from the road to the Three Gods Temple! !
"Girl, where are you going to guide me to!"
I couldn't help but sigh, but this is my only clue at the moment, so I naturally don't want to give up. I followed the ribbons and soon came to a relatively open place.
In fact, this is still part of the dense forest. It seems empty because there are many trees around that are as thick as an adult's thigh broken and lying on the ground. They must have experienced a very fierce fight.
I immediately sat down cross-legged, gently closed my eyes, stretched out the five fingers of my right hand, with the fingertips facing up, and then pinched the thumb under the tip of the middle finger, and whispered: "The ancestors are above, and the disciples are below. I sincerely ask the God of Fortune to guide the way forward!"
This is the method of ghost exploration.
The God of Fortune is what we often call the Earth God.
In the words of Taoism, this hand seal is used to ask the God of Land, and sometimes to ask evil spirits.
In fact, no one knows whether this God of Fortune exists or not, but this seal is said to be used to gather yin. If there are evil spirits around, there will be evil spirits lingering on the fingertips. Most of the time, it is used to track ghosts, but few people will use it because the effect is too poor. As long as the ghosts are a little bit intentional and do some tricks, this hand seal will not find anything.
However, I have lost the Heavenly Official Blade now, and only these Taoist skills are still useful. In addition, this place looks like it has been through a fierce battle. In the fierce battle, the ghosts must have no intention to cover up anything. It is purely my own tricks and luck.
Hula!
The wind in the forest is strong.
After a moment, a wisp of black air lingered on my fingertips and soon dissipated.
Gathering and dispersing, this is...
My eyes fixed: "A ghost died here, and his soul was scattered, so the remaining wisp of evil spirit is so unstable and will return to heaven and earth. I hope it's not that Xiao Mi was persecuted!"
At that moment, I stood up and chased forward quickly.
Soon, I found the last colored rope, but there was nothing left around!
"Why did Xiao Mi lead me here? Or was she caught up halfway and her soul was scattered, so... this is not her destination?"
I was full of doubts and felt that the latter possibility was very high. After all, this place is too close to the fierce battle!
For a while, I was a little frustrated and sat down against a big tree.
At this time, a black shadow flashed before my eyes.
I raised my head suddenly, and there was nothing in front of me. Except for the fog, it was eternal darkness.
"Is it an illusion? No, it must not be!"
I rubbed my eyes hard, and this time I finally saw it clearly.
It was indeed a black shadow, almost blending into the darkness. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to see its whereabouts. It seemed to be a small person, jumping in the darkness...
"Xiao Mi, is that you?"
I couldn't help but shout, but unfortunately, there was no response!
The black shadow jumped forward and was about to disappear completely from my sight.
I couldn't calm down, so I immediately chased after it and reached out to grab it, but my hand passed through its body, as if it was caught in the air.
However, there was indeed a black shadow flashing in the darkness!
"This is... a remnant soul!!"
My mind was blank, the small black shadow flickered in the darkness, no matter how I looked at it, it was the figure of a child, and for a moment I closed my eyes in some pain.
This is indeed Xiao Mi...
I once promised her that I would find a good place for her to go, reincarnate, and go to a rich family. Although this era has its shadows, at least she is warm and well fed...
I never thought that she would be dead after all...
I felt empty in my heart, but I soon cheered up.
"No, if it was a residual soul, it should have disappeared long ago, unless it was..."
My heart was shocked, my eyes were sore, and I had a vague guess!
This is the corpse dog among the three souls and seven spirits! !
The corpse dog belongs to the seven spirits.
Even when people are asleep, they still have some awareness of the surrounding environment. This is the body's early warning ability during sleep, which is actually all thanks to the corpse dog.
This spirit is the person's sense of crisis. Many soldiers who have been shuttling between life and death for many years are difficult for others to approach even in their dreams. This is why the corpse dog is very strong.
Some people say that many soldiers who came down from the battlefield suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder because they had been tempered by countless life and death trials, which made the corpse dog soul extremely powerful and suppressed other souls, so they would fall into frenzy for a short time when stimulated.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and we don't know whether it is scientific or not.
But I know one thing, it is difficult for the three souls and seven spirits to exist alone, and the corpse dog is an exception. This soul is similar to a dog. Not only is it like a dog, it is also very alert at night and guards the house, but also because this soul represents a kind of "loyalty".
When some people are dying, because they are thinking about something very important to others, it must be said that in this case, the corpse dog is very likely to stay, and when the wish is fulfilled, it will immediately disperse!
The colored rope is a little secret between Xiao Mi and me. She used the colored rope to guide me here, and the corpse dog among the seven souls also lingered here. It is obvious that she was still thinking about me on the eve of the accident. What she was thinking about is very likely related to my safety!
How can I not feel sad? I just played with her once, but she saved me several times, even at the last moment!
I tried to calm myself down, bit my middle finger, wrote a resurrection charm on my palm, and wrote down Xiao Mi's birth date. When we arrived at the Three Gods Temple, I felt that I was about to defeat Ma Liuzhi, so I relaxed a lot. At that time, I asked the old ghost about Xiao Mi's birth date. In fact, I wanted to send her to a good family. The old ghost naturally knew what I meant and did not hide anything from me.
I never thought that I would use it in this place.
The resurrection charm, as the name suggests, gathers souls, but Xiao Mi's soul has already been scattered. It's just that because her soul was scattered in this area, there should still be a little of her spirit in the world. Recalling this little spirit can let the corpse dog tell the unfinished business.
I was sad, with my middle finger pointing to the sky and the other fingers curled up in my palm, forming a Taoist summoning finger. I also had a soul-returning talisman in my hand. In fact, I wanted to gather Xiao Mi's spirituality. I didn't know if it would work.
But I had to give it a try.
I looked at the black shadow jumping in front of me and shouted softly: "The sky is in a panic, the earth is in a panic, there is a night-crying boy in my family. If a gentleman passes by and recites it three times, he will sleep until dawn!"
Xiao Mi is a child after all. Unlike an adult, her soul is not strong, so I can't use the ordinary soul-returning technique. I can only use the folk formula for soul-returning for children who have lost their souls.
After doing all this, I closed my eyes and waited, praying in my heart that the Heavenly Venerable would open his eyes and help me, a disciple, and also help this child, so that she can be completely free. The corpse dog is muddle-headed and exists in the world, it is better to end it all...
After a moment, a little coldness spread from the tip of my raised middle finger.
I opened my eyes, and saw blood flowing from my fingertips. To be precise, it was not my blood. It was cold and had some yin energy in it!
"Did it succeed?"
I was not sure. After all, this was my first attempt, but I had to give it a try. I turned my palm and pointed a finger at the black shadow jumping in front of me.
The black shadow froze in place instantly...
I could see that the other party was trembling slightly.
Soon, the black on the other party faded, just like a person who jumped into the ink pool of the river, washing off the stains on his body bit by bit, gradually revealing his original appearance...
This black shadow was Xiao Mi! !
However, she looked almost transparent, standing in the dark, her little face full of anxiety, as if there was a force pulling her farther and farther away from me. She tried hard to tell me something, but no sound came out.
But, I understood.
Her mouth shape told me——
"Big brother, Sister Anru is a bad person!!"
"She...she eats people!!"
"She ate everyone in the village, Grandpa was eaten by her, and I was eaten by her..."
"Next...she will eat you!!"
"Be careful..."
Boom!
Then, the anxious child standing in the halo broke into pieces, returned to darkness, and disappeared without a trace.
A colorful rope on the tree fell slowly into the hand that I subconsciously wanted to grab her...
