Bu Xiaotian gently stroked the long sword in his hand, remembering the story about Gan Jiang and Mo Xie that Lan Yunxin told him at the edge of Wuji Peak Square, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.
I don’t know if it’s because of the story itself, or because of the person telling the story.
"Let's help her!"
After a long silence, Bu Xiaotian spoke.
Letian was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask:
"Why? You are not related to her, and you don't even know who she is. Why do you want to help her all of a sudden? Do you know that in order to help her, you must find her three souls and send them to reincarnation in the underworld?"
Bu Xiaotian said seriously:
"As a righteous person, we should naturally take action when encountering injustices on the road, and at this time, people from the Demon Sect are involved, so we cannot stand by and watch! No matter how difficult it is, I will give it a try!"
"Okay! Anyway, there are still more than two years until the engagement, so I will accompany you for this trip!"
Seeing what Bu Xiaotian said, Lotte no longer objected. He nodded and agreed to seek justice for this woman who had been tortured before death and could not be reincarnated after death!
"But this woman seems to have been dead for a long time. I don't know where the enemy who harmed her is?"
Seeing that Letian agreed, Bu Xiaotian was in trouble again.
But Lotte thought for a while and said:
"My master once taught me a Taoist method called "Soul Recruitment", which is specifically designed to help those who have lost their souls find the three souls. However, those people have three souls but one soul or two souls in the body. Die. My method may not work."
Hearing this, Bu Xiaotian's eyes showed a hint of determination, he looked at Letian and begged:
"No matter what, we have to give it a try! If it doesn't work, we will first help you get the shark beads, complete the engagement, and then find other ways to find that person."
"Okay, there is a close connection between the three souls and the seven souls, so I will use her seven souls that have not yet been dispersed as a guide to give it a try!"
Letian nodded, then closed his eyes and raised his hands to perform the sutra, and muttered something in his mouth.
As Lotte cast a spell, little bits of fluorescent light floated out from the bones on the ground and gathered in front of the two of them, forming a shadow of a girl. It was the white shadow that led the two here in the first place.
This time I finally got a clear look at this woman's appearance. I saw that she had beautiful eyebrows and delicate facial features. She looked like a little girl. At first glance, you would think that she was a kind-hearted girl.
At this time, the phantom formed by the seven souls of the girl was looking at the two of them, with an extremely complicated expression on her face, including joy, relief, expectation, and pleading.
Bu Xiaotian looked at the girl and thought that she should be about the same age as Yun Ying when she was alive. The sympathy in his heart deepened and he couldn't help but say:
"Don't worry, we will definitely find your three souls and help you reincarnate!"
The girl actually nodded, as if she understood what he said, with a grateful look in her eyes.
The Seven Souls already carry the seven emotions of human beings, so the comparison between the two was not too surprising.
Lotte, who was casting a spell, suddenly said:
"Girl, we are going to use the connection between your seven souls and your three souls to find the location of your three souls. Please help us!"
As he spoke, the magic formula in his hand quickly changed, and a series of seal formulas came out from his hand and floated to various parts of the girl's phantom body.
The girl Xuying nodded again when she heard the words, closed her eyes, and let the seal floating out of Lotte's hand fall on her body.
Soon, Lotte's hand issued the last seal, and the girl's shadow suddenly glowed brightly.
Lotte immediately took out a small compass from his arms, and the girl's shadow turned into a white light and penetrated into the compass.
The pointer on the compass rotated wildly, and then gradually stopped for a while, pointing in one direction without moving.
"It's done!"
Lotte said with joy upon seeing this.
"The girl's seven souls are inside?"
Bu Xiaotian looked at the compass in Letian's hand and couldn't help but ask.
"The seven souls exist attached to the human body. She has died long ago. If the soul-locking nail hadn't forcibly imprisoned her seven souls in her body, her seven souls would have dispersed long ago.
Now that the soul-locking nail has been removed, her seven souls cannot last long in the world. They dispersed the moment before entering this compass. Now, the compass is just a trace of her three souls. "
Letian knew what he was thinking, shook his head and explained.
"oh."
Bu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was really afraid that Letian had just imprisoned the girl's seven souls in the compass, and such a secret method would consume her remaining seven souls.
Although the seven souls of the girl will eventually dissipate, compared with natural dissipation, being consumed by the secret method is a bit cruel.
Without further ado, now that they had a way to find the girl's three souls, Bu Xiaotian and Letian didn't waste any more time. They buried the girl's bones and then directly raised the magic weapon and flew towards the direction pointed by the compass.
This time they didn't let the black donkey follow him running on the ground anymore. Bu Xiaotian turned the long sword into a door panel, asked the black donkey to stand up, and then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the sky with the black donkey.
In the darkness, two streaks of light streaked across the jungle and disappeared into the southern sky.
Besides, the black donkey had never experienced flying like this before. It was so excited now that it was not afraid of falling at all. It looked up to the sky and roared, then stretched out its long tongue and swayed in the wind. Finally, Bu Xiaotian was really I couldn't stand its annoying energy anymore, so I sealed its body with a seal, and then continued to wield the sword with peace of mind.
For a moment, the black donkey couldn't move its whole body. Only a pair of big eyes looked left and right, spinning around and around, looking very funny.
Lotte, who was flying alongside him, couldn't help but chuckle a few times when he saw this scene.
This time on the road, except for necessary rest, they hardly stopped for a moment. In three days, they traveled south for more than 3,000 miles, nearly twice as fast as before.
Since Hei Donkey was treated by Bu Xiaotian, he became much more honest when flying again.
After all, it feels really uncomfortable to have your whole body sealed and unable to move.
On this day, they were flying in the direction pointed by the compass, but the needle that had not moved showed a slight deflection.
Lotte immediately knew that they were not far from the person they were looking for!
Raising his hand to signal to Bu Xiaotian, the two pressed the magic weapon and landed on the ground. Bu Xiaotian asked:
"What's wrong?"
Letian looked at Bu Xiaotian and said:
"We are almost there, have you thought about how to deal with that person after you find him?"
Bu Xiaotian wanted to find the culprit as soon as he heard this. He didn't think much and said directly:
"Of course I will capture that person directly and take back the magic weapon he refined with the three souls of that girl!"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's enthusiastic look, Letian asked helplessly:
"Then what if we can't beat him together?"
"this…"
Bu Xiaotian was at a loss for words. He had been thinking about helping the woman who died tragically and had never thought about this problem. But seeing that Letian seemed to have an idea, he asked:
"What can you do?"
"Let's find that person first and secretly find out his real identity. If we are sure to capture him, we will capture him directly. If we can't defeat him with the combined efforts of you and me, let's not alert him first, and slowly Find a way to deal with him!"
Hearing what Letian said made sense, Bu Xiaotian nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll do as you say. If we can't defeat him, I'll try to see if I can contact my fellow brothers nearby for help!"
"Well, before you are sure to capture that person, remember not to act rashly!"
Bu Xiaotian nodded solemnly, and then the two of them raised their magic weapons again and disappeared into two streams of light.
Although they were almost close, they followed the compass's guidance and flew for more than a thousand miles before the needle moved again, this time slightly larger.
It seemed like the person they were looking for didn't stay in one place.
In this way, every time the two of them fly, the pointer will change. However, as they move forward, the change of the pointer becomes greater.
Finally, when a large town appeared in front of the two of them, the compass pointer pointed quietly in the direction of the town, motionless.
It seems that the person they are looking for should be in this town.
The two of them landed in a forest four or five miles away from the town, put away the magic weapon, and walked towards the town pretending to be two passers-by.
Because the black donkey's appearance was really eye-catching, the two left it outside the town.
The little snow wolf was held in Letian's arms. It looked like a mixed bag of good and bad people here. Letian was afraid that it would be caught, so he kept it with him.
Fortunately, if you don't observe carefully, the little snow wolf is not as eye-catching as the black donkey. Others just think it is a little white dog.
It was getting late now, and when the two entered the town, the last ray of sunset just disappeared in the sky.
There were a lot of people in the town, and the two of them were not suitable for searching around with a compass in their current condition, so they decided to find a place to stay first, and wait until there were fewer people in the day to investigate the traces of the man in the dark.
They found a seemingly random inn on the street and walked in.
It seems that outsiders often pass by here, and the arrival of the two strangers did not attract anyone's attention.
Under the warm greeting of the waiter, the two of them each asked for a room facing the street, ordered some food and drinks to be delivered to one of the rooms, and then closed the door.
In the room, the two of them were sitting at the table, but the food on the table remained untouched.
Bu Xiaotian looked at Letian and said slowly:
"It seems that the man is in the inn on the east side of the street. What should we do?"
They thought that as a member of the Demon Cult, that person would definitely find a hidden place to hide.
The two of them planned to search quietly after dark, but they didn't expect that the man would live in the largest inn in the town in a grand manner.
This made their original plan useless and needed to be renegotiated.
After Bu Xiaotian asked, he waited quietly for Letian's answer, but Letian only said one word:
"wait!"
"wait?"
Bu Xiaotian was a little confused.
Looking at Bu Xiaotian's confused look, Letian explained:
"That's right, just wait. If that person dares to be so bold, he must have someone to rely on. If we approach rashly like this, he might find out or even counterattack.
Now that the enemy is overt and we are hiding, the only plan for now is to wait for him to walk out of the inn, and we will observe in secret to see why he dares to be so upright and adapt to changes. "
Looking at Lotte, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little admiration. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be as calm as him, and he might have rushed forward long ago.
Bu Xiaotian thought for a moment and couldn't think of a better idea, so he replied:
"Okay, it's up to you."
After the discussion, the two hurriedly had dinner and went back to their rooms to practice.
Both of them sat by the window, opening the window just enough to see the inn. While practicing, they secretly paid attention to the movements of the Jiedong inn.
However, what made the two of them a little disappointed was that the man made no movement all night long.
Fortunately, they were very patient and did not become impatient after waiting all night.
Unexpectedly, the wait lasted three days.
In order not to make people feel strange, they did not stay behind closed doors, but walked around the town and bought some unique things in the town. They looked like two travelers passing by.
No matter where they were, Lotte's compass pointed in the direction of the inn, and the man had been staying in the inn these days.
When the two of them were about to go out and continue wandering around this morning, the compass pointer in Lotte's hand suddenly started to move before she could put it away.
