them with special food rations of rice and noodles.Even so, the people here couldn't resist the urge to eat special meat. First, they ate dead people. When someone died, after the funeral, instead of...Lin Yanhuan sighed and suddenly smiled, "Xiao Qiao... I really can't be harsh with you... I owe you two favors, there's no way to repay them."

"Young Master Lin, there are some things you can't see... Let's talk later, okay I need to save people first. Could you ask your bodyguard to get the driver out To break open the car door, that's beyond my capabilities." I sighed. Arguing with him was pointless.

Lin Yanhuan nodded to the bodyguard behind her, and I walked towards Mu Yuqing.

Her entire being was in a state of dazed confusion, she just crawled forward, as if something was calling to her.

I've seen the Black and White Impermanence tap their staff on a ghost's head several times, and that ghost would become bewildered. Later, when the Black and White Impermanence threw me back into the Yang Well, they also tapped my head with the staff.

Later I learned that it was a forbidden spell, one that could make ghosts forget certain things.

To deal with violent ghosts, make them forget about "life and death," and they will become ignorant and bewildered, easily restrained.

But Mu Yuqing is a living soul! If she was attracted to be refined, or affected by Jiang Qiyun and the others, wouldn't she die

She is a living soul. What should I do about this lost soul

Soul-binding ritual

Both *dinghun* (定魂) and *jiāohún* (叫魂) belong to folk methods of "receiving shocks" (收驚).

But soul-binding requires a high level of cultivation from the practitioner to restrain powerful souls, such as Mu Yuqing's living soul.

I raised my hand and pinched a shackle ghost seal, fixing Mu Yuqing's nascent soul in place.

Lin Yanhuan looked at me, her expression slightly startled by my strange gesture.

I crouched beside Mu Yuqing, my index finger pinching the tip of my middle finger, holding a lotus flower in my hand, and placing the palm of my hand on the area above her temples.

"Mu Yuqing, Mu Yuqing!" I started calling her.

The art of dispelling fright requires language, such as when a child is frightened or cries uncontrollably at night. The mother needs to hold the child and repeatedly soothe them with their name, etc.

Calling out the soul requires repeatedly calling the person's name. I kept calling Mu Yuming's name, even I couldn't count how many times I had called it.

Could it be that my cultivation is too shallow Am I unable to break the curse the guide placed on Mu Yuqing

The two little ones in my belly have grown bigger, and my stomach no longer allows me to squat for long periods. I'm anxious and feel a tightness in my chest, with beads of sweat forming at the corners of my forehead.

"Mu Yuqing!!" My voice wavered.

Am I really this helpless

Jiang Qiyun's decisive and ruthless actions, I could only watch from afar like gazing at a lone moon in the sky, marveling at his boundless divine powers.

Lin Yanhuan's murderous coldness, I can't dissuade him.

He's not unaware, I know. He understands.

Everything has two sides, just like Jiang Qiyun needs the Shen family's help to handle matters in the human world, no one can cover the sky with one hand, and no god can do so either.

How to explain the situation with Qingcheng Hospital to the general public

There's a place called the Soul Burial Field that specializes in refining souls Are all their illegal and harmful acts caused by possession

Who would believe it!

Law can pardon mental illness, but it cannot pardon possession!

They are not oblivious.

The wisdom and taboos left behind by our ancestors, they understand better than anyone!

These wise men, who stand at the pinnacle of humanity, have spent millennia gazing at the heavens and surveying the landscape. They possess more secrets than anyone else! Deep within their hearts, they know more than anyone else!

Was Huangdao Village's demise truly the result of supernatural intervention

Shen's family has been in charge of the formation for decades, that place is a forbidden zone. With so many mages coming and going, wouldn't they know something about it

Just go with it! But absolutely don't tell anyone outside of this.

Why would the Shen family possess such a beautiful mountain and water scenery, with a scenic area and Taoist temple right behind them Isn't this a blessing from above

Jiang Qiyun had just told Lin Yanhuan on the phone, "Let's stick to the facts and keep the rest of the chatter to a minimum."

Lin Yanhuan thought about it for a moment and replied, "Okay."

Don't they understand

They all knew it, but each had their own set of rules, beliefs, and ways of doing things.

There can be some overlap at times, but most of the time they should be kept separate!

I cried out Mu Yuqing's name, tears and cold sweat mixing at the corner of my eyes. My abilities could only barely save one life.

"Xia Qiao, Xia Qiao, don't squat like that! You're pressing on your stomach, aren't you" Lin Yanhuan forcefully lifted me up.

As my hand left Mu Yuqing's temple, her soul shuddered violently. It actually worked!

"Don't interrupt me!!" I shouted at him. "Young Master Lin, we have different paths. Even if we can't cooperate, please show each other some respect, alright"

This is the first time I've ever yelled at someone this loudly in my entire life.

"Xiao Qiao, if you don't listen to me anymore, I will have to take drastic measures." he warned.

" ... I'm just saving a soul, give me some time, let me calm down and cast the spell, alright" I rubbed my temples, the excitement making me feel dizzy.

Lin Yanhuan didn't speak, and let out a heavy sigh.

I crouched down again and cast a soul-binding spell to calm her fright on Mu Yuqing.

After calling out many times, she finally jolted and came to her senses.

"Mu Yuqing!" I broke the Shackling Ghost Seal, fixing my gaze on her soul.

She was trembling all over, staring at me for a long moment before she came to her senses. "Was I cursed by that guide Why can't I control the souls anymore..."

"Did you see that person" I asked.

"I see him! He's a slightly hunched man! About fifty years old! His face... there's a burn scar on half his face, like he was burned!"

That's great, there's a lead. I don't know if my brother and Dabao caught up to the person.

"Yuqing, you should return to your own body first. This place is likely going to be cleansed with soul energy, and you'll be affected if you stay. Leave quickly." I urged.

Mu Yuqing nodded desperately: "Okay, okay! I'm leaving first... You guys be careful!"

Seeing Mu Yuqing disappear, I felt a little relieved in my heart. I took out my phone and called my brother. He answered the phone very quickly.

"Xiao Qiao, what's wrong Are you alright"

This guy...doesn't care about his own safety, and the first thing he asks is if I'm okay.

“...I’m fine.” I tried to adjust my choked voice.

"Grass, what are you crying for if nothing happened! You scared the living daylights out of me!" My brother complained.

"Everyone said it was fine! I just barely managed to stabilize Mu Yuqing's soul and send her back... She said the guide was a man in his fifties, somewhat hunched over, with burn-like marks on half his face!"

"Alright! We'll go investigate right away! That fellow went to a crowded place! He's really hard to find!"

My brother is fine... I just put a little something in there.

Just as I hung up the phone, Lin Yanhuan's phone rang. The voice on the other end was very loud: "Report! We stormed a small building! Inside, inside there is a— ah!! Open fire!"

Several loud noises came from the phone, and Lin Yanhuan immediately switched to another number: "Have you got A Squad's location"

"Report, the unmanned camera has been following all along, but there was signal interference inside the small building when the chaos happened, and the screen is full of snow!"

"Get me the location, and seal off this entire area. We absolutely have to catch the person responsible!"

After Lin Yanhuan finished speaking, he took his people and left. I hurriedly grabbed him.

"Wait! I'll go with you—"iao, let's go. Lin Yanhuan has arranged for a private doctor to check you out. We just need to borrow some equipment from the big hospital."Jiang Qiyun rarely opened his mouth and said, "It's good to...
