Returning to the morgue, Mingwei asked: "Madam, can you feel the souls of the bones that have not been dispersed?"
Qian Niang floated around and pointed out a few of them.
Jiang Wenfeng asked: "There are hundreds of corpses here. Are these the only ones that can summon spirits?"
Mingwei nodded: "Calling souls is not that easy. After a person dies, most of the souls will disperse immediately and embark on the road of reincarnation. Only a few can be retained, and only a few of the few can retain their memories.
Partly. Therefore, not every case can use the method of summoning spirits to communicate with the deceased."
Jiang Wenfeng realized: "No wonder, over the years, there have only been a few cases where Qian Niang has been able to come into contact with the souls of unjust deaths."
Ming smiled and said: "More than that, Madam's soul is spiritual, which will make the soul instinctively fear."
"I see."
The corpses were carried together, and Mingwei began to set up an altar and start searching for their souls.
…
Ji Xiaowu played all day, and when night came, he was taken to a compound by Qi Ping to rest.
The courtyard looks ordinary from the outside, but once you enter, you realize how luxurious it is inside.
Silks came from the south, blankets came from the north, the furnishings in the room were either gold or jade, the furniture was all made of huanghuali, and the paintings hanging on the walls were all of their own names.
Ji Xiaowu was dazzled and asked Qi Ping: "What kind of place is this? It's so gorgeous."
Qi Ping asked with a smile: "Brother Guo, your family is so famous in Luo City, but you have never been to a place like this?"
Ji Xiaowu said sheepishly: "To tell you the truth from Brother Qi, my mother is very strict. We have money at home, but life is not what outsiders think. My father eats steamed buns and porridge in the morning, and everything in the family is frugal.
.If I have any dissatisfaction, he will be beaten by him. He will tell me how our family started, how it is so easy to forget the roots after getting rich. Moreover, there are so many brothers to take care of, and I have to take care of them in case of bad years.
How can you spend your life and death at will!"
"That's it!" Qi Ping thought to himself. He had heard that the Guo family was stingy and thought they were putting on a show, but it seems to be true! Well, Elder Ge's eyes were so sharp that there should be no doubt about the identity of Young Master Guo.
He brought Ji Xiaowu to the city for fun with the same intention. He wanted to test his background and see if his identity was fake.
"It's not just that!" Ji Xiaowu added, "My brother works outside and socializes, so he is quite comfortable. I have been weak since I was a child and have been detained. Except for Duofu, there is no good-looking girl in the family..."
Qi Ping laughed loudly, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Mrs. Guo is too strict. Brother Guo is such an old man, it's time to get in touch with him. Men, don't they just want money and food from a woman?"
Ji Xiaowu still smiled shyly.
"Come on, come on," Qi Ping pulled him enthusiastically, "Today, my brother will show you the world."
Duofu followed behind and couldn't help but interjected: "Master! Madam has told me, you have to learn it well!"
Qi Ping's face sank: "What do you mean by not learning well? What man doesn't go out to socialize? This is what he should do."
Ji Xiaowu hesitated for a moment and said to Duofu: "I just want to see the world, don't my brothers do the same outside?"
"But you are not in good health..."
"What's wrong with my health? I was prone to getting sick when I was a kid, but I've gotten better over the years!"
"Sir..." Duofu didn't know what to advise and could only look at him pleadingly.
Ji Xiaowu looked embarrassed.
Qi Ping said: "You girl, do you have to worry so much about the master's affairs? Do you understand the rules?"
Ji Xiaowu immediately said: "Brother Qi, Duofu is ignorant, she is doing it for my own good." Then he turned around and said, "I told you, I just want to see the world and don't mess around. Don't worry, you will be right next to me."
Watch."
Duofu then nodded: "Okay."
Ji Xiaowu turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Qi is laughing, this girl..."
Qi Ping smiled knowingly: "I understand, I understand." He thought to himself, he is indeed a young master who has been raised pampered.
At this moment, he no longer had any doubts about Ji Xiaowu's identity. If someone else was pretending to be someone else, why bother having such a maid standing by to hold him back?
When I entered the inner room, I found that there was already a banquet waiting for me.
Two young ladies, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with pale skin and beautiful faces, dressed in brocade and gold. One was holding a pipa and the other was holding a flute. When they saw them coming in, they bowed and bowed.
Ji Xiaowu was sent to the banquet in a daze, had a glass of wine, turned to Qi Ping and asked: "They look no worse than Miss Qianjin, how can they be so good..."
Qi Ping laughed: "These are just two girls playing and singing, the real master hasn't come yet!"
As he spoke and clapped his hands, an old woman came in immediately and waited for instructions.
Qi Ping said: "Please bring your young lady out."
The old grandma responded respectfully and left.
After a while, the gauze curtain was lifted, the fragrant wind blew towards my face, and a beauty came holding a fan.
Seeing Ji Xiaowu's eyes straighten, Qi Ping smiled secretly.
Those two girls are already top-notch beauties. If there is another one more beautiful than them, the young master will lose his soul. Look, his maid pulled him several times, but there was no response.
"Mother Gui, this is Young Master Guo." He pointed at Ji Xiaowu and introduced.
Gui Niang curled up her lower body and said in a voice like an oriole: "I have met Young Master Guo."
Ji Xiaowu was pushed by Qi Ping before he came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
Gui Niang sat down, poured wine and vegetables for him, asked him about his origins in a soft voice, and talked about interesting things about the capital.
She wasn't frivolous, she just kept talking. Slowly, the atmosphere became better and better.
Qi Ping looked at it and deliberately tilted the wine glass, pouring the entire glass of wine onto Ji Xiaowu.
He pretended to be surprised: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I drank too much and my hands are a little unsteady. Guiniang, why don't you take Young Master Guo in quickly to change his clothes?"
"Young Master..." Duofu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qi Ping, "I just changed my clothes, how can I still eat your young master? You have also seen that Gui Niang is very serious!"
Ji Xiaowu also said: "Duofu, please wait here for a while, I will come out soon."
Duofu was reluctant: "The young master will come out after changing."
"Of course."
…
A wisp of light smoke slowly took shape in Mingwei's hand. She stretched out her finger and flicked it, falling to the ground and turning into a woman.
This woman's figure is much lighter than Qian Niang's, her expression is dull and her eyes are dull.
"Who are you?"
The woman had no reaction at all.
Mingwei asked patiently several times before she opened her mouth: "I...I don't know..."
Seeing her speak, Ming was slightly relieved.
Just being able to speak means that she still retains some consciousness.
She said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Think about it, do you still remember what happened before?"
After asking this question several times, she finally heard her say again: "Ru Meng Ling... Linglong is the best at singing Ru Meng Ling..."
"Linglong, is that your name?"
"I don't know..." She closed her eyes and murmured, the tune was just like a dream.
