C39 Soul Summoning

Quiet, deathly quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

No one spoke. One could even hear the sound of their own breathing. At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.

Everyone's gazes were fixated on Lin Bai, waiting for him to express his stance in the next moment.

"Speaking of which, it doesn't seem to make sense." Lin Bai looked at Xia Xiaoqing and said with a smile, "I can only try my best."

"As long as you can find Nan Yu's corpse, no matter what you ask of me, I'll agree." An excited blush flashed across Xia Xiaoqing's face as she spoke in a trembling voice.

There had always been a saying in China that when a guest dies in a foreign land, or when the person dies and the body cannot be found, the soul will remain in the foreign land or at the place of sudden death, suffering endless pain. He could not enjoy the worship of his family, nor could he have the opportunity to be reincarnated. He could only stay in that place forever, alone for a long time.

Most importantly, they could not live together, and could not die together. This was the greatest torture to Xia Xiaoqing. Finding Chen Nan Yu's corpse was the last thing she wanted to do, and she didn't even dare to dream about it. Now that she saw Lin Bai who could draw her into his body with a wave of his hand and heard that Lin Bai could help her, Xia Xiaoqing immediately became excited.

"We'll talk about it when we find out." Lin Bai pushed away Xia Xiaoqing's small hand that was tightly clutching his arm. He continued, "I need your husband's relics to help me determine his current location."

She looked at Lin Bai with an imploring expression. She removed a piece of hair from her neck that was tied with a red rope and carefully placed it in Lin Bai's hand. She softly said, "This is the last thing Nan Yu left for me. It's the first time he's cut his hair since he was born."

Upon hearing that the object Xia Xiaoqing was handing over was fetal hair, Lin Bai's face revealed a hint of joy.

Fetal hair, the hair that the baby had cut off for the first time since leaving the mother's womb. This type of hair had already developed while a human was still an embryo, and it possessed the innate spirit energy. It was also the first time that a human's blood energy had been nurtured. If he used it to search for the bones, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

"Do you have any blood essence left?" Lin Bai pondered for a moment before asking in a low voice.

Xia Xiaoqing shook her head and said softly, "There was originally some that were still preserved. However, in order to search for the bones, I used them all up when I asked for help. Now, this is all I have left."

Lin Bai shook his head, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. Xia Xiaoqing was anxious to find a husband, she had fallen into the demonic path of the martial arts world.

The so-called 'Phantom Appearance' referred to a master who recalled the souls of his dead relatives and conversed with them while they were still alive. The Phantom Lord's main source of income was the word 'Death', which was a jargon that meant recruiting souls.

Rather than saying that it was a Phantom Diagram, it would be more accurate to say that it was a scam. Generally, four or five people were needed to coordinate with the ghost, and they would use the paper-cut as a way to get to the bottom of this. Almost all women used to embroider, putting paper patterns on the embroidery cloth and embroidering with colored thread. Paper design belongs to paper-cutting art, not everyone knows it, but "Phantom" has this ability.

Find out who's dead, who's dead, what's in the family structure, etc. He then informed his accomplices of the information he had found. His accomplices then came to the door to help the family, which had "closed down and died". Since he had a good grasp of the situation beforehand, the words that came out of the "Ghost Appearance" 's mouth were astonishingly accurate.

The "Phantom" claims that the "Spirit Pigeon" can predict the future, know the past, can do things that people can't do. It's all bullshit. To practice "ventral language", first one practiced 'choking,' holding one's breath 'and then using the pronunciation in one's throat. After a long period of practice, the voice, after holding one's breath, could cause one's abdominal cavity to wiggle and resonate, then it could produce a sound similar to' speaking '.

However, through the popularization of some scientific cultures and some national initiatives, these ghosts that had once roamed the country gradually disappeared. However, a portion of them still managed to survive.

Lin Bai was certain that Xia Xiaoqing had fallen in love when she was in such a desperate situation and had met with the remnants of the Ghost Appearance Sect. He had then been duped by these people into keeping some of the materials he had left to help with the soul gathering.

"All of you, move to the side. I want to use this Innate Fetal Hair to arrange the formation of the soul gathering formation and deduce the location of the corpse." Lin Bai swept a glance at the three people beside him and said indifferently.

"Lin Bai, be careful. Don't push yourself too far." Liu Jingtian stepped back a few steps and warned Lin Bai.

Lin Bai nodded and whispered, "I understand. Don't worry."

The human soul had three souls and seven souls. This was the spirit of a person's life. When a person was still alive, their soul would be attached to their body. However, when they suddenly died, their soul would remain at the place of death, and it would be difficult for them to return. The technique Lin Bai used was a soul summoning technique from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and it even drew on Chu Wu's techniques.

In the "Chu Ci", there was a "Recruitment of Souls" passage, which was written by Song Yu to recall his teacher Qu Yuan's soul. The Celestial Sect used Chu Wu's methods to obtain the closest things to the soul while it was still alive. Through this information, they were able to evoke the resonance between Yin and Yang, and from there, they were able to deduce the specific location of the corpse.

Sweeping the hair in his hand, Lin Bai walked over to a large stone and placed the hair on top of it. He then bit his finger on it and drew blood on the stone.

The speed of Lin Bai's hand was very slow. With each stroke, he seemed to have used up all of his energy. Beads of sweat even dripped down from his forehead. Normally, one could draw talismans with cinnabar, but it still couldn't compare to the blood, which was filled with Yin and Yang energy. Chen Nan Yu had died a long time ago, so he could only try using this kind of talisman with the greatest effect.

"I wonder if the item the old thing gave me will be useful or not." After Lin Bai finished drawing the picture, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and squatted on the ground. Drawing talismans was not just a matter of technique, it was also a matter of physical activity. He was extremely focused, and almost half of his strength was spent on drawing a talisman.

The technique Lin Bai used was a technique recorded within the Astral Energy Monastery of the old Daoist Priest. Using human blood as a medium and adding in the items of the deceased, he would then be able to deduce the location of the person's death based on the changes that occurred after the talisman was burnt.

Lin Bai glanced at the glyph on the stone and put away the cynical expression on his face. After a moment of silence, he sat in front of the stone and began to recite the High Jade Emperor's Mantra three times in silence before slowly rising to his feet.

Seeing Lin Bai get up, Xia Xiaoqing hurried over, looking at him with a face full of expectation, and said slowly: "Master Lin, how was it? Is there any hope? "

All these years, Xia Xiaoqing had sought the help of a blind date in searching for Chen Nan Yu's corpse, but these years, the majority of the people she had seen had started to scare people off the very beginning, and some had even expressed their helplessness after some questioning. Now, Lin Bai had basically become her last straw of hope, and she had tightly grasped him with all her might.

Lin Bai waved his hand. The matter of summoning souls was not something that could be done so easily in a short period of time. Before he could even open his mouth, his feet felt weak and he fell into Xia Xiaoqing's embrace. His head felt warm and soft. The elasticity was excellent, and the feeling of his hands was absolutely extraordinary. This was the first conclusion that came to Lin Bai's mind.

This was not because Lin Bai was taking advantage of Xia Xiaoqing, but because drawing talismans and summoning souls was an extremely exhausting matter, which was why his steps were so weak.

However, this matter was seen by Liu Jingtian, who was standing to the side. Lin Bai was clearly eating Xia Xiaoqing's tofu. Seeing Lin Bai's head in Xia Xiaoqing's arms, Liu Jingtian was filled with emotion. If those who wished to be intimate with Xia Xiaoqing were to see Lin Bai like this, they would probably want to kill him!

Liu Jingtian was filled with emotion, but he didn't notice the sour look in Shangguan Yan's eyes, who was standing beside him, as if she regarded Xia Xiaoqing, who was holding onto Lin Bai, not knowing what to do, as an enemy.

After helping the limp Lin Bai into the car, when the three of them saw Lin Bai's pale face and the sweat on his forehead, they confirmed that he didn't do it on purpose. After a moment of silence, Xia Xiaoqing softly said, "Master Lin, I wonder how much longer it will be before there is news."

From Xia Xiaoqing's expression, Lin Bai understood that she had already gotten used to the Phantom Equal's quick and nimble methods. As long as she had enough money, she would go on and on about other people's past lives.

On the other hand, the Xiang Faction did things slowly like summoning spirits. Not only did they have to draw talismans, sometimes they even had to lay down altar techniques. But how could a dying man wait for such a slow method? The more anxious he became, the more he would lose his confidence in his master. He changed his way of believing the words of those devils, seeking a convenience.

Moreover, the pace of life was getting faster and faster. Under the pressure of the fast pace of life, people could not wait for the phase change to slow down. This was also one of the main reasons why the Phantom Faction gradually began to decline and reappear.

"In three to four hours, when the sky turns dark, some clues will probably be revealed." Lin Bai pondered for a moment before saying softly.

The magic that he used was modified by the old Taoist after considering the current pace of life. The magic that used to require three to seven days to be effective only needed three hours to be effective after combining with Chu Wu.

"Alright, then we'll wait here!" Xia Xiaoqing said in a trembling voice as she wiped the corner of her eyes. Ever since Chen Nan Yu died, there was not a day when she didn't think about her dead husband. Now that she had finally found the corpse of her dead husband, even if the mountain floods were to erupt and the sky collapsed, she wouldn't leave.
