"Tell me?" Before I opened my mouth, Heizi who was driving kept his ears pricked up.
"Actually, I don't know my father's identity either..." Haitang's answer stunned me.
"Isn't Master the treasure protector?" I asked doubtfully.
"I asked Dad the same question at that time." Haitang looked at me with a frown.
"What did the master say?" Heizi became excited again.
"Dad said no." Haitang said and lowered his head.
"No, don't say half of what you said. Just finish what you said." Heizi couldn't control his curiosity at this moment.
"Drive well." I was so worried that Heizi would do something wrong again, so I hurriedly warned him.
"You know dad's character very well. It's useless for anyone to ask him what he doesn't want to say." As soon as I turned around, Haitang said directly.
What she said was true, and I felt that there was no need for her to deliberately hide anything from me along the way.
"Okay, let me change the question. We just absorbed the soul essence when we were killing ghosts. What happened?" This matter, which I had never had the chance to ask before, came to mind again at this moment.
"Absorbed soul essence?" Unexpectedly, Haitang's expression was more surprised than mine.
"Yes, we first discovered that Da Hei has this ability, then Wei Yucheng and Liang Feng can do it, and then the three of us and Gu Rou can do it too." Zhou Jiaonan explained.
"This..." Haitang did not answer immediately, but frowned.
"What's wrong?" Heizi couldn't help but want to turn around, but I pushed him back.
"Dad said that there were people who knew this technique many years ago, but it has been lost long ago, and..." Haitang stopped mid-sentence.
"Auntie, I'm driving, can you stop being appetizing?" Heizi was almost going crazy.
"And we haven't learned any skills." Haitang was looking at me with confusion at this moment.
"Wuma Sheng, that's impossible, he just taught me the evil-breaking sword technique..." I fell into memories.
Because this skill must have only appeared recently, and we all know it, although we don’t know yet whether Haitang and Peony have this ability now.
"Kunyue Palace?" Mudan suddenly said.
"Wen Renhou?" Zhou Jiaonan looked at Mudan doubtfully.
"Yes, the only place we have been to is Kunyue Palace." Heizi slapped his palm on the steering wheel excitedly.
"No..." Haitang suddenly interrupted us.
"What's wrong?" I asked anxiously.
"Aside from Wen Renhou giving you two drinks and Da Hei drinking secretly, we all ate the same food at other times, and he didn't teach us any skills." Haitang frowned and thought.
"Then what else is there? Could it be that we were suddenly opened up to Ren and Du's second channel?" Heizi held the steering wheel with both hands, looking puzzled.
"Get through?" I closed my eyes and started to remember.
"A woman of ageless age?" I opened my eyes suddenly, and Haitang just looked up at me. We both thought of this person at the same time.
"But what happened that day?" Zhou Jiaonan's eyes suddenly became dim.
Heizi, who was originally so excited, was speechless at this moment. This ageless woman was such a huge blow to the two of them.
Because both of them fainted without a chance to make a move.
"No one knows what this skill is, or maybe it's not a skill at all." Mudan's words left me confused.
"Can you speak plainly?" Heizi asked with a wry smile.
"Perhaps as Heizi said, it was that woman who opened up our Rendu and Du's second line." Mudan looked at me with determination.
"You're still in charge of making a martial arts movie?" Heizi was obviously unwilling to accept Mudan's statement.
"This is just a metaphor." Peony pouted and explained.
"Peony is right." Unexpectedly, Haitang also believed this ridiculous statement.
"Then please explain." I had to look at Haitang patiently.
"That woman maintains immortality by absorbing other people's souls. This technique has been lost long ago." Haitang nodded and began to analyze.
"How to suck it?" Heizi suddenly panicked when Haitang said this.
"Her ingredients are under a curse. As long as you eat what she sells, something will happen to the three souls, and they will be taken over by that woman." Haitang answered truthfully before he understood what Heizi said.
"Then if I eat it too, am I going to die?" Heizi asked tremblingly.
"Didn't you vomit right then? And it's been so long, so you must be fine." This time, Haitang didn't need to explain, even I understood.
"Haitang, why don't you check me again?" Heizi was still a little unwilling.
"Okay, wait until I fully recover, but..." Haitang started to speak half of the sentence again.
"But what?" Heizi's panicked voice changed its tone.
"But that woman's magic seems to have been upgraded." Haitang frowned again.
"How do you say this?" Zhou Jiaonan also became curious.
"Remember when we went to the hospital to see those people? They seemed to be having epileptic seizures." Haitang said and looked at Zhou Jiaonan.
"Yes, the owner of the snack bar later said that he must have eaten the woman's food." Zhou Jiaonan nodded in agreement.
"But if a person loses his soul, this is not the symptom at all." Haitang said and looked at Mudan.
"People have three souls and seven souls. If you lose any one of them, you will definitely be like a walking zombie. If you lose two souls, you will be dead." Mudan said and looked at me.
I know this, the master has said it, and Heizi also knows it. After all, we have dealt with ghosts, and the nature is similar to this.
"Then you're not saying that that woman maintains immortality by absorbing the souls of living people?" Heizi still didn't understand what Haitang meant. In fact, I didn't quite understand either.
"The store owner said that he met the same person when he was a child, but many people died in their village at that time." Haitang talked to herself.
"But times have changed. If this woman continues to be like this, she will definitely attract attention, so her spell has been upgraded. She doesn't need to kill people, and she doesn't need to take away one of the three souls." Haitang continued.
"So?" Heizi spoke first.
"So she just eats away a little bit of the soul of the living person. In this way, although the living person will have symptoms of soul damage, it can slowly recover." Haitang said and snapped his fingers, as if he had finally solved the case.
"Yes, those people sent to the hospital are also consistent with soul damage." Mudan also nodded in agreement with Haitang's statement.
"But our focus is not why we can absorb the souls and essences of those ghosts?" Heizi looked back.
"Watch the road." I quickly pushed his head back.
"That woman has been studying the method of refining the soul and preserving the appearance all her life, and we were indeed yelled at by her." Haitang said and looked at me.
"Yes, I almost couldn't stand, and Zhou Jiaonan immediately fainted." I said and glanced at Zhou Jiaonan's expression. Fortunately, she didn't have the lost look in her eyes now.
"I fainted when I just saw her." Heizi complained.
"You mean just because you yelled at us, you let us master the magical technique of absorbing soul essence?" Although I don't believe it, the strength of that woman is indeed terrifying.
"This is the only possibility now, because we were all present at the time, and we were within her barrier at the time." Haitang looked at me intently, and her words did not sound like a joke.
"Then you mean that woman is helping us?" Heizi said angrily.
"With her strength, it would be too easy to kill us." Mudan said and looked at me.
"Why are you looking at me?" Peony's eyes were a little strange, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"Because you are a ghost sealer." Mudan said in a deep voice.
This does remind me of what the woman said to me, saying that her late husband died because of this forbidden technique.
But she didn't say how she died specifically. Mudan mentioned it now because she and Haitang also heard the woman's words.
"Even if this is the case, what does it have to do with me?" I was still confused.
"That's right..." The two women lowered their heads at the same time.
Zhou Jiaonan was also thinking about something with a puzzled look on his face.
"You can kill or not, but you still mention his late husband. Do you look like his late husband?" Heizi's joke surprised us all.
According to the snack bar owner, although the woman looked stunning, she was at least in her eighties.
She must have killed many people over the years, and now she suddenly shows mercy when she comes to us?
