Chapter 183: Meeting Old Ghost Cheng Again
"Is the monk still here?" Li Daoxuan asked following Jiang's words.

"He must be away. When Dalang came back, he did not bring the monk with him." Jiang shook her head and told Li Daoxuan that the monk had not been to their home recently.

"Excuse me, Auntie, did your Dalang really not bring anyone back this time?" Li Dao asked with a smile on his face, pretending to be relaxed.

"I didn't notice who Dalang brought back yesterday." Jiang said in a gentle voice.

"How many times have you seen this lady monk?" Li Daoxuan continued to ask. He had to find out the origins of the monk because his intuition told him that there were big problems with this monk, and he was even related to many things in the village.

"I've seen him twice." Jiang said, and then looked at Li Daoxuan. "Why does the Third Young Master ask me these things?"

"I am a little curious about this monk. I heard that most of the monks who practice Dufa are great masters, so I wanted to discuss Taoism with him." Li Daoxuan explained with a smile.

It is not uncommon for rich people to have monks and Taoist priests in their homes, especially monks. Ordinary powerful families always invite one or two. Jiang was born into a wealthy family, and there were many noble women who kept monks in history, so monks often came and went in these wealthy families.

Although Li Xiucai was Jiang's son, he was not born in the same environment as Jiang. The monk he brought back made Li Daoxuan very interested. He even felt that the monk was not simple.

"The monk came twice, and all the furnishings in the hall were made by the monk. He said that he could pray for my daughter-in-law to have a son, and for both mother and child to be safe. But I didn't expect that now..." Jiang couldn't continue speaking and wiped her eyeballs with a handkerchief.

It is hard for anyone to bear such a thing happening in the family. She was about to have a grandson, but who would have known that such a damn tragedy would happen. It is difficult for her as a widow. It is not easy for her to support the family alone.

"Don't cry, Auntie. Daoxuan will help you find out the truth sooner or later and comfort your soul in heaven." Li Daoxuan said seriously, and Jiang nodded.

The topic returned to Wen Ge'er, and Jiang asked him nervously.

"What should I do with my brother Wen? Will he be in trouble now that he has lost his soul?"

"Wen'er's current condition is caused by the loss of his five souls. If this continues, he will be timid and cowardly, and his expression will be dazed, which is a minor matter, and he will eventually die of weakness and decay. The only thing we can do now is to recover his five souls, which can end Wen'er's current illness. But at the moment it seems that it is not a simple loss of souls, and this matter still needs long-term consideration. But don't worry, ma'am. Wen'er is still in good health now, and he was found in time, so he is not yet in critical condition." Li Daoxuan comforted Jiang and asked her not to worry about Wen'er for the time being.

After all, the loss of the five souls is a troublesome matter. Even if he knows the method of summoning the souls, it will be difficult to do it in a short time.

The three souls and seven spirits are the great secrets of human beings. If they are lost between heaven and earth, they can be called back through rituals.

If only one soul or one spirit is frightened and has not lost far, it is not a difficult problem. After the person with the lost soul falls asleep, at the hour of Hai or Zi, use a bamboo pole or a wooden stick to pick up a piece of the person's clothing, and the relatives of the person or a magician can perform the method of calling the soul back.

When performing the soul-calling method, the person calling the soul needs to go to an open area outside the house or at a crossroads, and while shouting the full name of the person whose soul has been lost, he or she should wave the clothes in all directions. After a while, he or she should continue to shout while holding up and waving the clothes, and slowly move backwards until he or she reaches the door of the house.

At this time, the door of the house should not be closed and no one should block the door, so as not to conflict with the soul and cause it to escape again.

Finally, gently cover the person who has lost his soul with clothes, and then leave the bedroom. When the person who has lost his soul wakes up, everything will be back to normal.

If the soul escapes again, or the lost soul cannot be found by this method, then an oil lamp must be lit in addition to this method. The oil lamp must not be extinguished after leaving the method. After the caster calls the soul back to the person who lost the soul, the oil lamp should be placed above the head of the person and must remain on duty all night. The lamp must not be extinguished before dawn.

The effect will be better if there is another person beside the lost soul to respond to the person calling the soul when entering the house.

This method is implemented either by blood relationship or by the power of the master's practice. If it is performed by a relative, the mother is the best, followed by the father. As the saying goes, "A mother's cry for her child will spread a thousand miles away" refers to this.

But now Wen Ge'er's three souls and five spirits were taken away by someone. This is different from simply losing one soul and one spirit. If you want to recall them, the ritual is quite complicated and will take three days.

If the other party still uses evil methods to restrain Wen Ge'er's five souls, Li Daoxuan will probably have to fight with him again.

But as the old Taoist said, fighting with magic requires a foolproof plan. This has always been dangerous throughout history, and one can easily lose one's life if one is not careful.

He needs to prepare the materials for the ritual and then look for a suitable auspicious day before he can start the ritual.

The yellow days are Chu, Wei, Ding, Zhi, Kai and Cheng. The yellow days are Jian, Man, Ping, Po, Shou and Bi. There are many considerations in choosing the day. If you choose the right day, it will be a great help. If you choose the wrong day, in serious cases, nothing will happen.

After talking to Jiang, Li Daoxuan got up and prepared to leave the scholar's house. Before leaving, he left a talisman to calm the soul and asked Wen Ge'er to carry it with him.

Now that the clue to the resentful fox was gone, he needed to look for other information. It was still raining when he walked out of the yard.

Li Daoxuan opened his umbrella and stepped into the water. Only at this moment did he realize that his shoes and pants had already been wet by the rain.

"It's really cold with a thunderstorm in early spring." Li Daoxuan looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

boom--! ! !
The rumble of thunder sounded like a mighty army receding into the distance.

In the scholar's house, the old village chief, Li Laosan and others could still be heard talking, and Li Daoxuan was the only one left outside the yard.

He looked at the rain, thought for a moment, and then walked into the rain with an umbrella.

"That woman was murdered, and the baby in her belly is missing. Wen Ge'er said that he heard a conversation at night, and it seems there is some secret in it. Who was the person talking to this scholar's wife? Why was it in the middle of the night? If she was having her belly cut open to take out the baby, there would have been screams. But Aunt Jiang didn't hear it, and neither did Wen Ge'er. I just looked at this woman, and she didn't seem to be drugged. Instead, her eyes were wide open, and she must have seen something before she died. There are traces of Yinshan School's magic in this room, could it be that the five ghosts possessed her and ripped her stomach out?" Li Daoxuan strolled in the rain and thought quietly. He recalled every detail of the scholar's home, and felt that this tragedy must have been committed by a wizard who knew Yinshan magic.

"There have been many strange things happening in Lijia Village. It seems that they have either already broken out or are brewing. It seems that someone is controlling the rhythm of all this. If so, the person controlling it cannot be far away from here. Most likely, he should be in this village. But if such a powerful magician really came to the village, how could I not notice it at all? No one in the village found any suspicious outsiders. Is this person's cultivation too profound, or is someone hiding something?"

"Someone is hiding something." Li Daoxuan couldn't help but raise his head and squint his eyes when he thought of this.

White fog suddenly appeared in the heavy rain before my eyes, like smoke from a cooking stove, covering the surrounding scenery.

Everything was slowly isolated, with only the sound of rain still falling.

He held the umbrella tightly, and looked into the white fog with eyes like sharp blades.

"It seems that the incident in Lijia Village is closely related to the strange incident in Jinling."

Li Daoxuan was muttering to himself when he heard the sound of footsteps.

An old man walked slowly towards them, smiling with his red and yellow teeth showing, and looked at Li Daoxuan.

"Boy, do you know where the old man's home is? The old man can't find his home."

As the old man spoke, he took a sip of wine from the jar and continued to stumble towards Li Daoxuan, a strange smile on his old face.

Li Daoxuan remained silent, holding the umbrella tighter and tighter in his hand.

He stared at the old man with cold eyes, raised his left hand to his chin, put his five fingers in the palm of his hand, opened his mouth and said: "Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the body. The disciple's soul, the five internal organs, the mysterious and dark. Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the troops are in various formations. Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, guard my pavilion. Hurry up and obey the order!"

After the curse was finished, his clothes were seen flying, and invisible objects surrounded his body, slightly shaking the water under his feet.

Almost at the same time, the old man held the jar and took a big gulp of wine, then spit it towards Li Daoxuan. The wine instantly turned into white mist in the air and flew towards him.

Wherever the white mist passed, ice crystals condensed and the cold was overwhelming. Even the rain falling from the sky condensed into ice the moment it passed through the white mist.

"Such a fierce ghost energy, much stronger than the last time. It seems that the person who raised you is not simple and knows this kind of evil method of raising ghosts." Li Daoxuan frowned as he looked at the white mist sprayed by the old man.

With the ability to turn rain into ice, this old man is no ordinary ghost.

I'm afraid it's not far from being a vicious ghost. If it is raised a little more, it will probably look like a vicious ghost.

"Last time, I only left your wine gourd and let you go. It was careless. But I can't let you escape this time. Since you are here, then stay!" Li Daoxuan said in a sharp tone and jumped three feet high.

He held the umbrella in one hand and formed the Five Thunder Fingers with the other. The Five Thunder Fingers changed, with the middle finger and the ring finger bent inward to form the Dao Finger, and quickly shot it towards the old ghost.

"Exchange the fire bells, exterminate the ghosts and eliminate the evil, may the gods live forever, the divine soldiers are as urgent as the command! Shoot!"
