However, after listening to what I said, the middle-aged woman continued to beg me and refused to give up.
I ignored her and went to Liu Ruyi again.
I frowned and said to her, "Liu Ruyi, are you going to tell me where the soul of that child Junjun is? If you don't, don't blame me for being rude!"
Liu Ruyi's old face showed a bit of provocation, and she said in a deep voice: "Boy, don't waste your energy. I won't say anything! Although I'm not a Taoist priest anymore, it's impossible for you to pry open my mouth!"
I squinted my eyes and cursed Liu Ruyi's ancestors in my heart.
But does she think that if she doesn't tell me, I have no other options? This is ridiculous!
I sneered and said, "Liu Ruyi, let me tell you! I actually know the 'soul-searching technique'. If you don't tell the truth, I will have to search your soul! If you suffer, don't blame me."
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi snorted coldly, but ignored my words.
"Why? You don't believe it?"
"Do you believe me? ... ... Of course I don't! Not to mention a young boy like you, even I don't know the 'soul-searching method'. That kind of magic is not the method of a decent Taoist priest. Could it be that you are actually an evil Taoist priest?"
I said bluntly, "Liu Ruyi, you are wrong! In fact, whether you are a decent Taoist or an evil Taoist, as long as the methods you use do not harm the common people and serve the underworld, they are good techniques. And you, you call yourself a decent Taoist, but look at what you have done, it is simply a disgrace to the profession of Taoism."
"If you ask me, no matter what others say, you are no different from an evil Taoist priest now!"
Although Liu Ruyi had no good deeds, she obviously didn't want to hear such words.
She shouted angrily: "No, I am an authentic Taoist priest, not some evil Taoist priest. I have saved many people, and the good deeds I have accumulated can prove it."
When Liu Ruyi said these words, her dim eyes were bloodshot. Her old face looked even uglier because of arguing with me.
"Really? That's just your past. You did help a lot of people, but just like your daughter-in-law said, your purpose in helping others was not pure. You just wanted to accumulate more good karma so that you can use divination to find a body that matches your grandson's soul."
"Your heart is broken, and this is a fact that cannot be changed!"
My words may have deeply hurt Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi sat on the ground as if she was stupid.
I ignored her and took out the "Nine Yin Ghost Technique" from the bag, and then I turned it to a page. The page recorded the "Soul Searching Method".
The so-called "soul-searching method" is actually easy to understand. It is just to search for certain useful memories in the other person's soul through certain means.
I brought the Nine Yin Ghost Technique to Liu Ruyi.
I opened the booklet, held it up for her to see, and said, "Take a look. This is what is recorded here: the 'Soul Searching Method'! After all, you used to be a Taoist priest. Although you have lost your good deeds now, I think you should still be able to understand this technique!"
Liu Ruyi's gaze shifted to the booklet, and her expression became increasingly ugly.
It took only half a minute. After Liu Ruyi let out a long sigh, she closed her eyes and said to me, "Forget it, forget it.
... ..In that case, I will tell you where the soul of that child is!"
Then Liu Ruyi told me the location of Junjun’s soul.
What I didn't expect was that the address she told me was inside a sewer under Xingde Street near the city's railway station.
And that sewer was actually right next to the Xiyuan Apartment where I lived.
After a long time, I found out that Junjun's soul was in the underground over there. I wondered why I had dreams of a ghost wrapped in a ball of light several times at night. It turned out that Junjun's soul had turned into a ghost and was staying over there.
Damn it, it turns out that the female ghost Tong Xue and I were just looking for a donkey while riding a donkey!
If I had known this earlier, I would have rescued Junjun's ghost and everything would have been clear.
I put away the Nine Yin Ghost Technique and walked up to the middle-aged woman and said quickly, "Okay, get out of the way. I should take the child away!"
But the middle-aged woman still didn't let go, crying loudly, "No, no... The soul in this child's body belongs to my Shitou. If you take him away like this, what will happen to Shitou's soul? You are not going to kill my Shitou, are you?"
This family is a bit stubborn and unreasonable.
I shouted angrily, "Your son Shitou is dead. The soul in this child's body is indeed your son's, but he is dead after all. A better place for him to go is the underworld, rather than staying in your house. Haven't you ever thought that this child's soul is actually trapped in this body that does not belong to him because of your family's selfishness?"
After hearing what I said, the middle-aged woman stood there in a daze.
I didn't take the stone away immediately. Instead, I turned my head to look at Liu Ruyi and asked, "Liu Ruyi, you previously fused this child's body with your grandson's soul. What method did you use? Is there a way to break it? "
Liu Ruyi thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, I used the 'Soul Stealing Technique'. Once it is used, there is no way to break it. So you can't separate the child's body from my grandson's soul... unless my grandson's soul dissipates. But if that happens, the child's body will also perish!"
"real?"
Liu Ruyi is a cunning old woman, and many of her words cannot be easily believed.
"real!"
Liu Ruyi nodded.
But I could tell from her eyes that she was still deliberately hiding something and didn't tell me.
Forget it, since she doesn’t want to say anything, forget it!
I extended my hand to Liu Ruyi and said in a deep voice, "Give it to me. I remember you know a Maoshan Taoist technique called 'Liuyun Body Technique'. It's quite good and I like it. Please give me the Taoist book!"
There was no need for me to show respect to such a vicious old woman, so I just asked her for it directly.
Liu Ruyi didn't expect that I would ask for her Taoist book. She showed a hesitant look on her face and began to think deeply.
I interrupted her thoughts and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want your family to suffer misfortune, you'd better give me the Taoist book. You should know that your son has kidnapped and sold children. If I call the police, your family will be accomplices and I'm afraid you will be in big trouble!"
Liu Ruyi didn't hesitate any longer. She reached into her arms and handed me a thin piece of leather.
She said: "I don't have a Taoist book, I learned the 'Liuyun Body Movement' from this piece of leather, but this body movement is not easy to learn. As for whether you can learn it, it depends on your talent!!"
I took the leather and touched it.
The skin is made of fox skin and is very soft. The contents recorded on it are all written in small seal script, and the name is "Liuyun Body Technique".
I was very happy to get this kind of thing, after all, this was the first time I got a Taoist magic.
However, Liu Ruyi doubted my talent, which still made me feel unhappy.
I said to Liu Ruyi unhappily, "You are really mean! But as for whether I can learn this 'Liuyun Body Skill', that is my own business. Master Liu, you should just enjoy your old age and stop doing bad things, or you will die early!!"
"you... ... "
My words made Liu Ruyi so angry that her eyes were full of fire.
But now she can't do anything to me!
Pursing my lips, I walked up to the middle-aged woman and picked up the little boy "Shi Tou".
Amid the cries of the middle-aged woman, I walked straight down the mountain.
Seeing that I really left, the middle-aged woman was panicked and shouted anxiously: "What should we do? What should we do? ... The stone was taken away by that person. We will never see the stone again! That's my child!"
Liu Ruyi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, come and take off the immobilization talismans on me and Dayi first. Although my Taoism is gone, it won't be so easy for that kid to rescue the ghost of that child easily!"
At this point, Liu Ruyi heaved a long sigh and said to herself, "However, I really underestimated that evil ghost. The Five Plagues were actually defeated by that evil ghost. It's really scary!"
Soon, the middle-aged woman Fengqin took off the talismans on Liu Ruyi and Niu Dayi.
"Mom, what should we do now? We can't just let Shitou be taken away like this, right? He is the only child of our Niu family, and our Niu family still relies on Shitou to continue the family line!"
Liu Ruyi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Shitou will come back!"
Having said that, Liu Ruyi took out a jade pendant from her arms.
Then she bit her middle finger and dripped blood onto the jade pendant.
Blood dripped onto the jade pendant, and the originally white jade pendant suddenly turned blood red.
Just as the jade pendant turned completely blood red, a ghost head suddenly emerged from the jade pendant. Then, the ghost head flew out of the jade pendant with a large amount of ghost energy.
The jade pendant broke, but the ghost head was still suspended in the air.
The ghost head had a terrifying aura, and the ghost energy was surging like ink.
"Master, you called me out, what's the matter?"
The ghost head floated in front of Liu Ruyi and spoke respectfully.
Liu Ruyi looked at the ghost head and said in a deep voice: "My Taoism is no longer there. This time, the old ghost depends on you. You must not let the boy who took the stone away rescue the original soul of the stone's flesh body."
"... Even if you have to kill that kid, you have to stop him. Most importantly, you have to bring the stone back to me intact. He is my grandson, and I don't want anything to happen to him!"
"Yes, Master! I'll do it right away!"
The ghost head then flew down the mountain at an incredible speed.
Seeing such a ghost head suddenly appear, the middle-aged man Niu Dayi and the middle-aged woman Fengqin were both frightened and their faces turned pale.
"Mom? ... That thing just now, was it a ghost?"
Liu Ruyi nodded and said, "Yes, he is a ghost, and he shares the same fate with me! I have fed him with my blood and essence for so many years, it's time for him to repay me!"
