I stared at the female ghost covered in scars and sighed: "You are bringing this upon yourself. We have already exhausted all our good words. Saving others is in danger, so we have no choice but to surrender you."
Leng Yu retracted her jade palm and explained sternly: "This happened suddenly. If it was not important to save people, I would not use this method. Please tell me, where is He Shizhu's soul?"
The female ghost scolded again: "Don't even think about it! You so-called monks, don't you help others just to accumulate virtue for yourself!? I was tortured during my lifetime, who helped me after my death!?"
"Have you ever thought about others coming to help you? Then you still harm others!?"
I put on my pants and cursed in a low voice: "Don't even think about it. If you really hurt He Shizhu, you will really become a evil ghost by then. You will be beyond redemption. The Taoists will definitely surrender you!"
"
My words were like a wake-up call. The female ghost couldn't help but be stunned, muttering to herself with her pale lips: "By the way, how could I even think of killing people?!"
Judging from her reaction, my persuasion was somewhat effective!
I was so happy that I had to convince her, otherwise He Shizhu would really have to meet the King of Hell, and our lives would have to be buried with him!
Leng Yu guessed: "I guess you were controlled by resentment, so blinded by hatred that you did these harmful things. Are you really being killed?!"
The female ghost's eyes were red as she stared at Leng Yu, then turned to look at the red and green colors outside the alley. Her eyes were full of resentment and malice, as if she was recalling something that made her extremely angry.
"Yes, I was killed by someone." The female ghost added viciously: "I will cut them into pieces!"
I felt a pain in my heart, no way, it turned out that she was really an innocent spirit! I remember the old man at home warned me that an evil spirit would unconsciously harm people and take their lives because of the resentment in its body.
Seeing how obsessed the female ghost was, Leng Yu frowned: "I am a Taoist. If you die unjustly, I will definitely help you."
I also sighed softly: "Although I am not a Buddhist, if you have a grievance, I will definitely help you redress your grievance. That police officer Ou is very powerful, I believe he can help you!"
The female ghost let out a sigh, shook her head and chuckled: "When you say this, you just want me to tell you where He Shizhu's soul is."
"What's your name?" I asked suddenly.
The female ghost glared at him and said coldly: "Li Lan!"
I raised my three fingers and swore: "I and you swear that you will do your best in your lifetime to help Li Lan punish the evildoers. If you violate this oath, five thunders will strike your head and you will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
"you……"
Li Lan seemed a little stunned. She looked directly into my eyes: "You idiot, this oath is vicious enough. Do you really want to help me find the person who harmed me that day!?"
"really!"
"Why... why should all the people I met in my life be bad people... why would God do this to me..."
Li Lan was really surprised and happy when she saw Leng Yu and I answering so decisively. For some reason, she burst into tears all of a sudden, crying and laughing at the same time, which was heart-wrenching to watch.
I thought to myself: "This Li Lan must have suffered great injuries during his lifetime. He is such a pitiful person."
After crying for a while, she slowly said: "He Shizhu, his soul is being held in the handover wood factory, but his time is not in my hands. I will tell you after you report the case for me.
"
Hearing He Shizhu's whereabouts, I finally felt relieved. Although I didn't know what time she was talking about, things have made great progress now.
Leng Yu took out a folding umbrella from his backpack, opened it, and said to Li Lan: "The situation is urgent. Your soul is injured. Come to my place and have a rest."
There was a trace of hesitation in Li Lan's eyes, maybe because she hadn't let go of her wariness about people yet. My heart tightened again, and I persuaded in a low voice: "Believe in Leng Yu, she is a really good person."
Li Lan looked into my eyes, which showed endless grievance. I sighed helplessly: "If we had the intention to harm you, you would have been surrendered long ago, wouldn't you?"
After listening to my words, Li Lan nodded, pursed her lips, and wiped her tears with her clothes: "Then... I'm sorry!"
As soon as her soul floated away, she was hidden in the folding umbrella.
Seeing that she finally convinced us, Leng Yu and I looked at each other and smiled. Knowing that Ou Tie was drunk and asleep, I didn't feel worried anymore. I asked Leng Yu in a low voice: "What is the time that Li Lan just mentioned?"
Leng Yu put the ghost-catching guy back into the package and tapped his heart: "Time Ming is actually the essence of human body. Once Time Ming is taken away, death is not far away."
Hearing her explanation, I couldn't help but take a deep breath: "So... if we want to rescue He Shizhu, don't we have to take back his time?"
"This is the only way to truly save him, but for now we must retrieve his soul and occupy his body, otherwise his body will be targeted by wandering ghosts."
Leng Yu explained as he walked: "Although the time being hidden will greatly shorten the life span, people can still live after they have a soul. As long as the time taken away from him is used up before the remaining time is used up, the person can still live.
Just find it back."
I nodded repeatedly: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up. After all, Ou Tie and I have our lives held in our hands by He Shizhu and Leng Yu!"
It was urgent to save people, so the two of us immediately went downstairs to grab a taxi and rushed to the wood factory in the suburbs!
Through the faint light of the street lamp in the distance, we entered the factory as a "wall climber". I turned my head back and forth and called out in a low voice: "He Shizhu...He Shizhu...do you hear it?!"
"Shh!"
Leng Yu interrupted me with a cold voice: "You are stupid. If you call me back so easily, then why am I here!?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Yes, what you said makes sense, Taoist nun, please!"
Leng Yu returned to her arrogant and cool expression, and she took out a small grass man and some guys from her arms: "I will summon He Shizhu's soul back right now, you can guard me and don't let anyone disturb me.
"
"Okay, I'm good at looking after the wind, leave it to me!"
After the battle with Li Lan just now, I know that Leng Yu is quite good at Taoism, so I naturally obey his words at this moment.
Leng Yu inserted a few incense candles on the ground, set up the magic circle with bowls and chopsticks, and said softly: "Ancestor passed down the order, Vajra is arranged on two sides, Thousand Miles Soul Binding Syndrome, return to your true nature quickly!"
I was surprised. I stared closely at the little straw man in Leng Yu’s hand. Seeing that there seemed to be no movement after a long time, I asked softly: "Here, the little straw man seems to be silent? How about...you teach this soul-calling method?"
Let me, let me give it a try?"
Leng Yu thought for a moment: "That's okay. I'll teach you the mantra. When you recite it, you must be clear and calm. Remember, sincerity will lead to spiritual success."
I tried Leng Yu's method, but dozens of seconds passed and the little grass man did not move.
I couldn't help but feel annoyed, and patted the scarecrow gently: "I am a boy after all, He Shizhu, can you give me some face?!"
"It's probably because your ethics are too low,"
Leng Yu thought for a moment: "In this way, I will teach you to recite a simple spell. You are still a child, so you should be able to activate the energy of the spell."
I nodded, and based on Leng Yu’s teachings, I chanted: "The gate of heaven is open, the gate of earth is open, the boy from thousands of miles away is sending his soul, who is the lost soul? Shizhu, if you hear my call, come back quickly, come back quickly!"
Just after I finished reciting the incantation, the little straw man in my hand started to tremble!
