731 Sleepless at night 2

f has just become dilapidated over time"Seeing everyone so calm, I felt embarrassed to act as if facing a great enemy. Holding the Zi Xiao Ruyi, I walked into the courtyard.Xiao Nie immediately jumped...Instinctively fearing ghosts and underworld officials indicates that the other party is a vengeful spirit.

When I touched Xiaomimi's body, I felt his skin was cool and he reacted a little dazed, which indicated that his soul was unstable.

Among the three souls, the yang of the Heavenly Soul and the yin of the Earth Soul come together to form the Life Soul. The Life Soul is the root of the Seven Souls. When the Life Soul ends, the soul and spirit are divided into yin and yang, returning to heaven and earth respectively.

This is a relatively common understanding. In ancient times, the three souls were called Tai Guang, Shuang Ling, and You Jing. Sometimes, if the soul is unstable, it needs to be settled and scared away. If the soul is lost, it needs to be summoned back.

The Shen family were all disciples of the Tao, so they quickly set up a formation. My brother secretly changed rooms, and I didn't even know—he had Yan Qin take Mama to sleep there just before Mrs. Lin went to bed, saying that the house over there had a better environment.

He hid in his room, waiting. When a gray-white thing floated in, lifting a corner of the talismans laid out on the floor, he immediately pinched the Five Elements Fire Seal to activate them. As the other party was startled and preparing to flee, he covered it with the Tai Chi Bagua Robe.

"...How come this feels like setting a trap... Let me open it first, I have a pretty good idea who it is..." I was speechless.

"Isn't that just a big rat! It must have come in to steal things! It really knows how to pick its targets, knowing that Madam Lin has many valuable things around her! But what would a ghost steal for It can't eat or use anything..."

My brother, while speaking, extended his sword and gently lifted a corner of his robe.

The grayish-white shadow was very blurry, so blurry that it looked like a human figure seen through frosted glass.

Small.

"Little shrimp" I tried to call out, the thing huddled on the ground trembling.

I turned my head to look at Jiang Qiyun and asked, "What should we do Should we call his soul His relatives aren't here either..."

"Just have the ghost servants drag him back to the underworld for questioning." Jiang Qiyun said faintly.

"No, no, can you even come back from the Underworld! You'll lose three layers of skin! What about this little one..." I shook my head.

I'm not unaware of the methods that ghosts and minions use for "interrogation" and "torture." Those simple and brutal methods are terrifying just to think about.

"Then what are you going to do You can't ask questions of someone who is completely lost and disoriented. Even after a soul-calling ritual, they don't remember what happened. To find out the truth, you'd have to take them to the underworld for questioning. If they're innocent, they'll be sent back as usual." Jiang Qiyun asked with furrowed brows.

"Is there no other way to communicate" I asked, refusing to give up.

"You are a human, and he is an incomplete, missing soul. How can you communicate If he were a complete spirit, it would be possible, but this incomplete one, still a child unaware of anything, it's difficult." Jiang Qiyun shook his head.

I patted my head and asked, "If it's a ghost, can we communicate I have ghosts here!"

Inside the peachwood box, the spirit of the fox demon, Xiao Nu, is still floating around!

Give it a try, little slave is originally a spiritual animal, maybe you can communicate.

I let Little Nu out, and she gave a seductive curtsy. My brother shivered and said, "Cut the crap and go comfort that child on the ground. Ask him why he came in to steal."

"Yes~" Little vixen Dididi's form suddenly transformed into a fox shape and jumped over.

I saw the Deputy Manager almost ready to brandish his peach wood sword and bellow, "Demon!" He stared at me with wide eyes and asked, “Master, is this… is this… your pet”

This is clearly a ghost, what kind of pet is this.

I scratched my face, a little embarrassed. As the head of a family of cultivators, people still entrusted me with exorcism and demon-breaking tasks, but I had all sorts of "pets" around me instead.

Thinking about Bai Wuchang's words, "Your Highness, we wouldn't dare to detain anything you've raised," I felt a little embarrassed. This special treatment was too much for me to handle.

"This little fox spirit is very clever. Children are afraid of adults, but they naturally gravitate towards animals." My brother stroked his chin and said.

He didn't like Xiao Nu very much because she was too clingy, and he would get goosebumps every time.

Now that the little slave has become a fox, he actually quite likes it. After all, having an intelligent and agile pet at home, or even a charming fox demon girl, is a completely different experience.

"Little brother" Xiao Nu swept the huddled, blurred figure with her tail.

"Are you lost" she asked.

The tiny shrimp curled up, twitching its body as if nodding

"Hee hee, I can send you back," Xiao Nu said gently.

The little shrimp looked up and reached out to touch the small slave.

The exchange between the two ghosts was truly bizarre. Little Nu coaxed Little Xiaomi relentlessly, and finally, Little Xiaomi's shadow stood up and hugged Little Nu.

Little Nu smiled and said, “I can’t carry you. Why don’t you walk with me But tell me, why did you come into this room Don’t you know there’s a formation here”

I couldn't hear what Little Shrimp said. He was hugging Little Slave's fluffy neck and being comforted by Little Slave's big tail, doing very well.

"Then I'll send you back, okay You can't run out anymore, this place is full of magic circles. If you run out, you'll be caught and never be able to come back!" Xiao Nu threatened him.

I pushed open the door, sending the ghost servants away first to clear a path. The Deputy General Manager looked at me with a face full of surprise and uncertainty: "What are you not doing"

I shook my head. Such a young child, there must be a special reason why their soul is unstable and they're wandering around at night. It's more important to find the reason than to make things difficult for the child.

The deputy manager led the way from afar, Xiao Nu with that blurry child figure, walked back to where Xiao Xiaomi lived.

We trailed far behind, watching. My brother said, "This kid definitely wasn't just lost by chance. Could his parents know he would wander off at night, so they purposely abandoned him at the gate of Shen's family mansion, hoping Shen's would take him in for free and raise him Then come back to claim him when he's older"

"It couldn't be that simple, could it Why would Xiaoxie enter Mrs. Lin's room Mrs. Lin just happened to be here, no one knew she was coming beforehand." I frowned, pondering this question.

Little Nu sent the little shrimp back to its "house," skipped back, and when she reached us, transformed into a human form. She bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Empress, Elder Brother, this servant has returned to report~~~"

"Get to the point," my brother urged in a low voice.

"That little child said, he came to take the Buddha's head..."

What's with the Buddha pendant What is that jade Buddha hanging on Mrs. Lin's chest

"What's he doing with Buddha's head" I asked, confused.

Xiao Nu tilted her head and replied, "I don't understand either. He just kept saying that if he got the holy head, he could find his mother... Could it be that he was raised by bad people I don't know that other people's things can't be taken..."

My brother patted his head: “It’s very possible! Let’s go back and analyze it—” thing, but this also amounted to using Xi Linzhou as a test subject.“Mu Xiao Qiao Do you know Mu Xiao Qiao” Master Huisqing rushed over and said, “Then it’s easy to say! We are family, family!”"You'r...
