"The second thing is Hanmingsha." Shen Lu didn't hide anything and answered truthfully.
"What is this Hanming Sand?"
"I have only heard about this thing from my master. It is said that the descendants of the City God will discharge a kind of black sludge. After the sludge is dried, it will condense into fine crystal gravel. This thing is Hanming Sand.
"
"Cook the Hanming Sand together with cinnabar to make a medicinal cake. After taking it, it is said that it can promote the integration of the soul and the body."
When Lin Xixue heard this, goosebumps broke out all over her body. She could even feel the goosebumps rubbing against her clothes, and the itching feeling made her feel hairy.
Soul-fixing Gu, black sludge, Hanming sand medicine cake, all the clues are connected together again.
The black mud must be the black mud that was spit out after the sea cucumbers were suppressed by the jade bottle. This confirmed her previous guess that these sea cucumbers were indeed the juvenile bodies of the "City God's Family".
The Hanming Sand Medicine Cake was obviously the big black cake that Bai Qing saw herself eating in the Jieshi Cave that day.
Therefore, what Hong Yanzi did that day can be easily explained.
He first used the soul-inducing technique to introduce her granddaughter's soul into my body. Then, he planted the soul-fixing Gu and made himself take Hanming Sand, in order to completely merge her granddaughter's soul with mine.
But the soul-fixing Gu was accidentally taken out by me, so all the subsequent changes occurred!
Before he died, Hong Yanzi realized the reason for the failure of his plan, so he tried to continue to deceive me, hoping that I would plant the soul-fixing Gu for myself.
When she thought of this, she became so nervous that all her muscles tensed up, because it meant a problem.
If this conjecture is true, the reason why Hong Yanzi tried to deceive me and still tried every means to get me to plant the soul-fixing Gu for him after his death shows that his plan did not completely fail!
It means that as long as I plant the soul-fixing Gu, his plan can still proceed.
This also means that the soul of her granddaughter Tong Yingzi is still hidden in my body!
This is a well-understood logic. Assuming that Tong Yingzi's soul has completely dissipated, then his plan has completely failed. Even if he planted the soul-fixing Gu, it will be of no avail, so there is no need for him to continue to deceive me.
Therefore, Tong Yingzi's soul must still be hidden in his body.
However, she had scanned her body with her spiritual consciousness many times before, but she did not find any soul hidden in her body.
I'm afraid I have to face the worst possibility, that is, Tong Yingzi's soul completely merges with my body under the influence of the Hanming Sand.
The irritability in her heart was even worse. With such a huge hidden danger buried in her body, there might be some unpredictable consequences in the future.
And she had to face a more serious problem now.
That is, can the temple blessing be allowed to perform the soul-inducing technique for Xu Zhiyi?
She had previously suspected that Hong Yanzi's ability to use the Nether Soldier Talisman might be related to the City God's Temple.
Now with the addition of the soul-inducing technique, the soul-fixing Gu and the connection between Han Mingsha, the deep involvement between the two is clearly written on his face.
She was really unsure about letting a temple that was deeply involved with Hong Yanzi use the soul-inducing technique for Xu Zhiyi.
This matter needs to be discussed with Bai Qing again before making a decision.
After all, Xu Zhiyi is not only one of her few friends in this world, but also has important clues about time travel. This matter of bringing the soul back to the body must not be careless.
"Shangzhen?" Seeing that she didn't speak again, Shen Lu reminded her again.
"Oh," she pulled out of her thoughts again, "I see, these two things are indeed very rare."
"But there is no need to worry about it. Your friend's three souls left the body accidentally. It is a matter of course to bring the soul back to the body. Even without the help of these two things, this matter is still a sure thing."
"In this way, we have fellow Taoist Lao Shen. I have other matters to deal with, so I will take my leave."
"Congratulations!" Shen Lu pressed the Taoist boy's head again and bent his waist at a right angle.
However, not far away, I suddenly heard an extremely loud sound of kowtow coming from the temple.
"Bang, bang, bang" kept ringing. Lin Xixue stood outside the temple and could hear it clearly without using her spiritual consciousness.
"Master City God, please bless my husband Niu Zhuang and bless him to recover as soon as possible." A middle-aged woman prayed in the temple, and then kowtowed again and again.
Lin Xixue frowned when she saw this, thinking, could this person be Niu Zhuang's wife? Niu Zhuang was corrupted by the Horse-headed King before, could something happen now?
After all, she couldn't ignore the acquaintance, so she asked Shen Lu, "Fellow Daoist Shen, can you help me call out the woman inside?"
"The Lord is really looking for this woman?"
Shen Lu was puzzled. Although his City God's Temple was not as grand as Sanyuan Temple, and the visitors were all famous families, but there were also many lowly people who came to make wishes every day. Why did Lin Xixue only look for this woman?
?Just because she kowtows loudly?
"Haha, it's an insignificant personal matter." Lin Xixue didn't want to say more, so she just looked at it carelessly and brushed it off.
Shen Lu understood that Lin Xixue did not want to say more, so he had to follow her instructions and call the woman out.
Lin Xixue said goodbye to the temple blessing, took the woman aside and asked, "Are you Niu Zhuang's wife?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Niu Zhuang is my husband. He has been pulling carts for Yunzhou Prefecture." The woman nodded repeatedly.
"You asked the City God to bless him to recover as soon as possible. What serious disease did he suffer from?"
"My husband went on a long business trip a few days ago. For some reason, he didn't have any rice or water for three whole days after he came back. Later, his mother and I couldn't stand it, so we took a funnel and filled him with rice syrup."
"Unexpectedly, he actually vomited out every drop of the rice syrup he swallowed."
"That's not all. He became closer to the horse in the manger. He didn't go back to his room to sleep for several days. Yesterday, he even slept directly in the manger, sharing the same trough with the horse.
sleep!"
"Before, he gave me a large piece of gold. I repeatedly asked the source, but he only said that he brought a nobleman with him during this long trip, and the gold nugget was a gift from the nobleman."
"But he behaved so abnormally that I felt that he had touched gold and silver that he shouldn't have touched and had gotten entangled with something unclean, so I asked someone to find a wandering Taoist priest to ask what was going on.
"
"After some investigation, the Taoist priest said that the gold nugget was indeed contaminated with dirt. He said that if he gave the gold nugget to him, he would resolve the disaster and the disaster would disappear naturally."
"I just thought that as long as my husband can get well, I am willing to do anything, so I gave this gold nugget to him without thinking."
"Unexpectedly, after my husband learned about this, he cried and beat the ground crazily with his hands until his hands were bloody and bloody, and he refused to stop."
"I panicked all of a sudden, so I came to ask the City God, hoping that the City God could remove the dirt on my body."
