Children's spiritual souls are inherently unstable. Even those with intact souls can be disturbed by evil spirits, let alone an empty body from which all three souls and seven spirits have been expelled.
I couldn't rashly seize Brother Xueshuo's soul, but I also couldn't just let him harm us.
Now, using his younger brother's body, he could do anything to hurt people.
Just as he had said, he was just a child. Even if he killed someone, he wouldn't have to pay with his life!
There were several soul - sealing bottles on the table. One contained Lu Dayong's soul, another A Jian's... and there was also the bottle that sealed the true form of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother!
Without a second thought, I smashed open the white porcelain jar that held A Jian's soul.
A faint chill seeped out, and A Jian, dressed in white, drifted out.
"A Jian, please enter this child's body first!"
My soul - capturing bell was pressed against Xueshuo's forehead. With just one more shake, the evil soul of his elder brother in his body would be forcefully ripped out.
A Jian frowned after hearing my words and said, "No."
Thinking that he, Zhu Youjian, was once an emperor and would rather die than have his reputation insulted, how could he casually enter the body of an ordinary human child? Without hesitation, he shook his head and refused.
"Please, A Jian! I need to save someone!"
I naturally knew A Jian's temper, but at this moment, I needed to gain the trust of Officer Xue's wife so that she would help me safely call Officer Xue's soul back into his body.
Unexpectedly, in this moment of distraction, Xueshuo seized the opportunity. He was just like the annoying brat in the videos. He stretched out his right hand, which I hadn't restricted, and rummaged wildly on the altar, knocking over the last two soul - sealing bottles placed behind the incense burner!
"Clang!" "Smash!"
After two dull thuds, a mass of black mist billowed out of the bottle on the ground, taking the form of a middle - aged man with red eyes and a gaunt face. It was Lu Dayong, whom I had captured in Lu Village before.
He was the soul of a zombie. Since his soul was incomplete and he couldn't be reincarnated in the underworld, I had planned to nourish him for some time. If he was really fated, it would be great if he could directly cultivate into a powerful ghost cultivator!
"Miss Du, what... what are you doing?"
Seeing me wrestling with Xueshuo, he immediately asked, "Why did you summon me?"
"Lu Dayong! You'll do too!"
It was a critical moment. I no longer restricted myself to finding someone I trusted completely. Pinching the soul - capturing bell with one hand and Xueshuo's wrist with the other, I shouted, "Charge into this child's body and squeeze out the evil soul inside!"
"Okay!"
Sure enough, Lu Dayong was just an ordinary old ghost. He had no cleanliness fetish or taboos. He immediately responded crisply and rushed towards Xueshuo.
At the same time, my soul - capturing bell rang again with a "ding".
Xueshuo's evil - spirit elder brother was immediately sucked into the bell, and I "slapped" it onto the yellow paper on the altar.
"Boom!"
When Lu Dayong rammed into Xueshuo's body, it was like hitting a hard ice wall. His soul, which had been nourished for several months, was almost shattered.
The venomous smile on Xueshuo's face became even more terrifying. He slowly raised his head. In his black - and - white eyes, his pupils suddenly split into two, four, eight... In an instant, his eyes were completely filled with dense black pupils!
"You?!"
I only managed to utter one word when Xueshuo's face suddenly became vivid. It was a hundred times more lively than when his body was controlled by his elder brother before.
He desperately broke free from my hand and his small body rushed straight out of the curtain towards the shop outside.
"Mom, save me! They're bad people! They want to kill me!"
Xueshuo wailed as he rushed past Si Jiangchen and straight into Officer Xue's wife's arms. "Let's go, Mom! Sister Du wants to kill me! She's holding a cone and wants to drive out the evil by stabbing it into my head!"
My soul - capturing bell was a kind of magical artifact. One end was a ringing bell, and the other end was a traditional Taoist demon - subduing pestle, which did look like a three - inch copper nail!
Officer Xue's wife already had a serious prejudice against me. She had come here because her son had drunk the talisman water and immediately seemed like a different person. He was no longer like in the previous few years, sometimes a filial child and sometimes a hooligan who fought every day!
"Miss Du, why is this happening? We have no grudges. Why do you want to harm him?"
She could feel the child shivering in her arms. She quickly hugged Xueshuo tightly and said, "Let's go now! Mom will find other powerful Taoist priests. I don't believe I can't save your father!"
"You can go, but he has to stay."
The one who spoke was Si Jiangchen. The moment Xueshuo ran past him, he saw the strangeness in the child's eyes. So, before Officer Xue's wife could react, he took two steps forward and blocked in front of the mother and son.
"There's an evil god in his body!"
I also chased out of the room. This brat had knocked over all the soul - sealing bottles on the altar. A Jian and Lu Dayong were fine, but the true form of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother had disappeared!
The strange phenomenon I saw in Xueshuo's eyes was a sign that the One - Eyed Buddha Mother had entered the child's body!
I reached out to grab Xueshuo's collar, but unexpectedly, Officer Xue's wife bit my hand. If I hadn't withdrawn my hand in time, I'm afraid a piece of flesh would have been bitten off my hand.
"Miss Du, your words are getting more and more exaggerated, aren't they?"
Officer Xue's wife said as she stepped back. "You said before that there was a soul of his elder brother in my child's body. You said you would help me drive it away... Now, it's an evil god? It seems that all the bad people who want to deceive others in the world are the same. Are you going to tell me that you've already driven one away and now this is a new monster that has possessed him?!"
Saying this, she sneered, picked up the child, and turned to leave our shop.
"You can't go!!"
Actually, Officer Xue's wife was right. This was exactly what I wanted to say.
Although it sounded absurd, it was an absolute truth!!
While I sternly stopped her, I immediately summoned the Yin Five Thunderbolts and struck them down towards the top of Xueshuo's head.
At this moment, I didn't care about hurting people. If the One - Eyed Buddha Mother ran away again, she would probably hide immediately, and I really didn't have an effective way to deal with this scourge!
The Yin Five Thunderbolts condensed countless cyan - white electric lights, which snaked through Xueshuo's body.
"Boom boom boom..."
A dull sound like thunder came from Xueshuo's wide - open mouth. White steam - like smoke rose from all his seven orifices!
"Mom!! I'm scared!"
Xueshuo covered his mouth and nose with his hands and buried his head in Officer Xue's wife's arms to hide his already festering skin...
