Yuan Xianger slept until three poles in the sun before she barely got up to eat breakfast.
Yunniang brought her hot porridge and side dishes, and she was still lying on the dining table with no energy.
"Xiao Nan is back. Why is he injured? It looks serious. Come on, let me give you some milk."
Nan He crawled on the table beside Yuan Xianger, and Yunniang put a bowl of hot milk in front of him. Nan He stretched out his small paw and moved the edge of the bowl, and moved the bowl to Yuan Xiang'er.
Yuan Xianger put her chin on the table and pushed the bowl back, "You drink it, I have it too."
"Xiang'er, didn't you sleep all night last night? I seem to have heard the sound of the emperor's bell when it was almost dawn." Yunniang looked at her listless appearance and brought her a bowl of milk, "You still It's not good to go to bed so late."
"I'm sorry Mistress, did the noise make you rest?" Yuan Xianger apologized.
"That's not true." Yunniang wiped her hands and sat down at the table with a smile, "Speaking of which, Ah Yao used to be like this, reciting incantations all night alone in the room. The voice, on the contrary, feels very cordial, as if returning to the days when your master was still at home."
Yuan Xianger recalled the time when she lived by Master's side. Master Yu Yao is a particularly enthusiastic person. Whether it is to exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil spirits, to ask hexagrams, or to find acupuncture points in the house, as long as someone asks him, there is basically no response. Every day is busy and lively. People in the town also have a special kind and respect for their family.
Thinking about it now, Master may not necessarily be a human being, but he lives so flamboyantly, as if he is more like a person than himself.
Yuan Xianger upholds the living habits before the time-travel, unless it is something that has happened before her eyes that she has to do, she generally doesn't meddle in her own business. After all, in the era she lived in, the social ethos paid more attention to self and individuality, and not everyone dared to step forward to help the elderly who fell on the side of the road.
But if it was Master, he wouldn't have let things go like she did when faced with something like Han Rui and his wife.
Yuan Xianger always felt a little uneasy when she thought of seeing a ray of spirit from Doctor Han last night.
She could clearly see Han Rui's body, covered with a faint golden light of merit, which may be the reason why he hung a pot to help the world and did good deeds during his lifetime. It is precisely because of this golden light that he is different from most of the undead. He has a complete memory of his life, clear thinking, and free movement. He is not like his wife Liniang, who can easily use the rebirth spell to eliminate his heart. Obsession, cross into reincarnation. Judging from the look on his face when he left, that person is probably still lingering in the world now.
Even the most honest-hearted person would not know what would happen if they saw Yongji Hall today and heard about what happened to their children.
Last night, Han Rui's face was full of sadness, and the gentle and elegant smile in the sun came up repeatedly in Yuan Xiang'er's mind, causing her to be unable to do anything all afternoon, spilling water and chopping wood crookedly.
After enduring until the night was dark, she once again came to the vicinity of Yongji Hall.
It was just one day and night, and the beetle demon on the roof of Yongji Hall actually grew a whole circle.
At this moment, the chaotic and filthy monster was raising its wrinkled head, holding a human soul in its mouth.
The man stretched out his pale arms and struggled to resist.
A faint golden light lit up on him from time to time, but it was quickly dispelled by the black energy emitted by the monster. The long hair tied on the top of his head was scattered, revealing a face of pain and despair, it was Han Rui.
Under the eaves, the street lights are bright, and the crowds chat and laugh freely, and no one can see the tragedy that is close at hand.
Yuan Xiang'er was taken aback and didn't care about anything else. She dodged in the alley beside the street, volleyed a golden light magic charm with her parallel fingers, and chanted the law: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the source of all qi, golden light appears quickly, subdue demons and eliminate demons, hurry up. Like a law!"
The scorching golden light split out from the talisman and shone directly on the bloated body of the beetle demon. Wherever the golden light shone, it squeaked like it was being burned, and bursts of blue smoke came out. The beetle demon twisted its body, let out a shrill cry, dropped the human soul in its mouth, turned around and quickly disappeared into the depths of the house.
"Hey, did a light flash just now?"
"Is it thunder? It's a strange thing to see stars on a sunny day."
Passersby looked up in amazement, discussing the golden light that had just flashed by.
Han Rui's body rolled off the eaves and fell on the side of the street.
"Doctor Han." Yuan Xiang'er reached out and helped him up carefully, taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd and taking him away from the place.
When she got home, she immediately started to draw a set of spirit gathering formations, placed the almost disintegrating soul in the formation, sat cross-legged beside the formation, and recited the Requiem several times in succession. The figure lying down in the formation gradually became stable and clear.
"You saved me again." Han Rui struggled to sit up in the formation, folded his sleeves and covered his face in a salute.
"Doctor Han," Yuan Xiang'er squatted in front of him, "you have done good deeds in your life, and you have been rewarded with great blessings. If you give up your obsessions and step into reincarnation, you will definitely have a good home. Why do you have to hang around in the world like this. Such a big beast that eats grudges. , you must see, why risk getting close."
Han Rui lowered his eyes, his long hair was loose, his face was bleak, and his body was in a translucent state, "What the gentleman said was originally a good word. It's just that the dog has disappeared, and his life and death are not understood. As a parent, how can I rest assured? Yongji Hall... is where Liniang and I have worked hard all my life, it was originally a place to save lives and heal wounds, but it was invaded by resentful demons, and it was full of filth.
Yuan Xianger thought for a moment, "I may know the whereabouts of your son. You can't find him in Yongji Hall. Why don't you go to Tianlang Mountain with me tomorrow to inquire."
The last time Arteng said that he picked up a human child in Tianlang Mountain, the time was close to the time when Dr. Han's son went missing. Yuan Xianger thought she could go to Arteng to see the situation.
"He can't go to Tianlang Mountain," Jin Yu stuck out his head from his stilted hut. "He, he's almost gone. As soon as the sun shines, it should be gone."
Wu Yuan leaned on the branch and snorted, "What do you know about this hairless chicken. Even if it's just a soul, it doesn't disappear when the sun shines."
"But human beings are different. The human soul is very fragile." Jin Yu leaned on the door and leaned out half of his body, "I have seen many human souls like him in the human village, and when the sun came out, it turned into bubbles and disappeared. Unless …”
"Unless what?" Yuan Xiang'er asked.
"Unless you get him a container."
"Container? Do you know what kind of container you need, Jin Yu?"
"It's something that can put him in it." Jin Yu gestured, "It has eyes and a nose that looks like a human."
Yuan Xianger probably understood what he meant, and found a pair of Fuwas from the house that had been bought at the market. Ceramic-fired dolls, one male and one female, with white faces, smiling eyebrows, hands in their sleeves, and a pleasant demeanor.
She put the man's ceramic doll in front of Han Rui, "Doctor Han, can you try it?"
Han Rui's figure disappeared, but the porcelain man's brows and eyes suddenly became vivid. Although he still had his sleeves rolled up and his eyes narrowed, he seemed to be able to breathe and smile, as lifelike as a god.
"Yes, I feel much better here." Han Rui's voice came from the porcelain man, "Thank you, Jin Yu."
"Cuckoo." Jin Yu made a series of cooing sounds, and he seemed very happy to be thanked by humans.
"Meow, it's really interesting. It turns out that humans can also transform into such a small appearance." Wu Yuan circled around the ceramic villain, which was much smaller than herself, and curiously wanted to reach out. push lightly.
Afraid that he would accidentally break the portrait, Yuan Xianger hurriedly stopped him, reached out and lifted the two-inch porcelain figure, and placed it with another porcelain figure on the desk.
Before going to bed, she said good night to Han Rui on the desk, "Doctor Han, have a good night's rest. One of my friends may have the whereabouts of the young master. I will take you to look for it tomorrow."
In the darkness, Han Rui gave a soft response.
When Yuan Xianger turned to leave, she glanced back, the little doctor Han was standing there quietly, and another porcelain man in a dress accompanies him with his eyebrows bent. Entering the courtyard.
The father appeased his wife to let go of his obsession with reincarnation, but he couldn't let go of his concern for the child. He stayed alone in a world that no longer belonged to him. He broke into the pharmacy occupied by the beetle demon regardless of the danger, trying to find the whereabouts of the child.
Early the next morning, Yuan Xianger packed up the necessary supplies and said goodbye to Yunniang.
"Mistress, I went to Aten's house to play once. She lives a little far away. Maybe I won't be back tonight."
Yunniang never interfered with her actions, she only packed a stack of cakes for her, "Every time she comes, she brings gifts, and you also bring some snacks from our family to her. Say hello to her on my behalf. ."
Nan He's body was still very weak, and there were many monsters in Tianlang Mountain who wanted to harm him. It was not suitable for him to go out together. Yuan Xianger put him and the cushion in a bamboo basket and handed it over to Yunniang.
"Xiao Nan doesn't eat anything that others have touched, and he doesn't use the bowls and chopsticks that others have used. This is the bowl he uses to eat, and this is what he uses to drink water." Yuan Xianger took out Nan He's daily utensils and explained them one by one.
"The medicine on his body will be changed when I come back. Don't let him touch the water. If there is sun during the day, let him dry in the yard for a while. But don't put him with Xiao Hei and the others. Be sure to keep him in a clean Place, use a cushion, he is still weak and can't catch a cold."
She explained a lot of things in ramble, but still worried, she squatted down, put a folded talisman on Nanhe's mat, and whispered to him, "This is a sound transmission, but it's hard to make, I only have These two. After you inject spiritual power into it, the words you say can be passed on to me, but you can only use them three times. If there is anything, you can use it to contact me. "
Nan He lowered his head silently, stretched out his claws and pulled the triangular talisman under his body and pressed it, turning his head to stop looking at her, and the arrogant cat demon that was parked on her shoulder.
"Obviously listen to the teacher and take good care of her. I'll be back soon." Yuan Xianger touched his head.
"Okay, I'll take good care of him, I'll definitely treat him better than you, so don't worry." Yunniang smiled and sent her out.
Yuan Xianger carried a bamboo basket on her back. In the bamboo basket were the porcelain figurines that Han Rui was carrying and the supplies she needed to go up the mountain. With Wu Yuan on her shoulders, she waved goodbye and left.
"Okay, just the two of us. What would Xiaonan want to eat at noon?" Yunniang held Nanhe's basket, "Xiang'er said you like mutton, so I'll make you a mutton soup?"
She saw the slouched dog in the basket nodded slightly.
"Our Xiaonan is really smart, and seems to understand. No wonder Xiang'er likes you so much." Yunniang carried the basket and walked towards the kitchen, "You don't know, Xiang'er was sad during your absence, every day. Talking about you. She kept all the things you used before and didn't let Wu Yuan touch them. She often took them out to bask in the sun."
The white dog in the basket pricked up its ears quickly, and its amber eyes stared at her without moving, listening intently, word for word.
