Soon, the transparent bead in Master Qi's hand turned into drops of liquid, which fell accurately on the body of the female corpse in red.
At the beginning, the soul of the female corpse in red was still struggling inside her body, trying to break the huge talisman that bound her.
But it didn't work at all. In just a few minutes, her soul was corroded and corrupted by the pure Yang water. In just a moment, her screams just now became intermittent.
By the time all the pure yang water dripped onto the corpse of the woman in red, her soul had become extremely weak.
At this time, Fatty Li and Master Jiang also returned with firewood in their arms.
Master Chu hurriedly ordered us, "Hurry up and throw the dry firewood onto the corpse of the woman in red."
We were very obedient and threw all the dry firewood in our hands onto the corpse of the woman in red.
Then Master Qi threw out another fire talisman, and the pile of dry firewood began to burn with a crackling sound under the effect of the fire talisman.
Master Chu on the side started giving me a lesson.
He explained to me: "Although the fire of the talisman is powerful and can kill ghosts, it is not as effective in eliminating the resentment of ghosts. Only the fire of the living world can purify resentment and also has a certain effect of transcending the soul. Although this woman is a ghost owner, the real harm is after all her husband, the possessed ghost. Therefore, this woman still has a chance to go to the underworld."
I thought Master Chu and Master Qi were doing this to destroy the soul of the woman in red who was about to turn into an evil spirit. It turns out that they were not destroying, but purifying.
The raging flames devoured the body of the woman in red. The burnt flesh made a crackling sound, which was the sound of the fat inside the body bursting.
The woman's soul screamed in pain inside her body, the sound was sharp and piercing. The smell of barbecue filled the air in this part of the clearing in the woods.
Perhaps it was the effect of the Pure Yang Water, the flames instantly devoured the corpse of the woman in red. Soon, her body began to shrink and turned as black as charcoal.
A few of us stood aside, staring at the body of the woman in red with burning eyes. We felt a little relieved, but we were still afraid that something might happen.
No
Fortunately, there were no accidents. Until the skin, blood, and internal organs of the woman in red were burned, everything seemed extremely calm. It was as if this was how the soul of the woman in red who was about to turn evil should be treated.
Master Chu and Master Qi didn't care too much, they were talking and laughing. It seemed that they were very satisfied with their methods today.
In just over two hours, the body of the woman in red was completely burned into black ash. A skeleton lay in the charcoal fire, and the flames slowly began to go out.
"Um!"
Nodding, Master Chu said, "It's almost time! The purified soul of the woman in red should come out soon."
That's true.
Soon, a very illusory female figure slowly condensed from the skeleton. From her soul, it can be seen that she is the woman in red. But what surprised me was that the woman in red actually did not have any resentment. Even her soul seemed a little transparent.
When the red-dressed woman saw us, she looked like a newborn baby, full of curiosity about everything in front of her.
There was deep confusion in her eyes.
"Where is this?"
The woman's soul made a soft sound.
Master Qi smiled but said nothing.
Master Chu on the other side slowly took out a spirit bell from his arms. Then, he chanted a spell while shaking the bell.
In the clear sound of the bell, the woman's soul seemed to have found its direction.
"Should I go now?"
She looked at us.
Master Chu stopped chanting and said, "That's right, this is not the place for you to stay. You should leave here and reincarnate. If you are lucky, you may even be reborn as a human being."
The woman nodded at the sound of Master Chu's bell.
Strangely enough, just after the woman nodded, the trees on the west side of the forest were suddenly dispersed by a white light, as if they were not real. And in the white light, a path leading to nowhere slowly appeared.
.
"That's the Yin-Yang Road! Master Chu is guiding the woman's soul."
Master Jiang saw that I was frowning, so he explained to me in a low voice, "The Yin-Yang Road is the intersection of the world of the living and the world of the dead. Generally, the souls of ghosts will leave from the Yin-Yang Road after being saved. However, there are many ways to open the Yin-Yang Road. Master Chu used the simplest one."
I understood what Master Jiang meant, and I nodded with deep understanding.
The Yin-Yang Road was indeed magical, with no end in sight, yet it gave me a feeling of being very close. Moreover, with my eyes smeared with crow tears, I actually discovered that there were some scattered ghosts on the Yin-Yang Road, walking towards the depths of the Yin-Yang Road.
They were not summoned by Master Chu and Master Qi, but they embarked on the Yin-Yang road on their own.
There was no resentment or ghostly aura in those souls. They looked like the souls of people who had died not long ago.
One can imagine how interconnected the Yin-Yang Road is.
Then, I saw the shadow formed by the soul of the woman in red really slowly walk towards the Yin-Yang Road. Her face was free of worries, and her soul became so pure and clean, without any stain from the world. That was probably the result of being purified by the flames of the world.
The woman's soul did not look back nor stop, she slowly walked towards the end of the Yin-Yang Road.
Maybe I was staring too intently, and my footsteps slowly followed the woman's soul as she walked towards the Yin-Yang Road.
The feeling was very unreal, as if my body had become light and airy.
But the next moment, a huge pulling force dragged me back.
When I woke up, the Yin-Yang Road had disappeared. Instead, Master Qi was standing next to me with his hand on my shoulder.
Master Qi looked at me and said with a smile: "Do you know what happened to you just now?"
I smiled bitterly, shook my head and said, "I don't know."
Master Qi explained to me, "Your soul just left your body, and you almost followed the soul of the woman in red into the underworld. If I hadn't pulled your soul back in time, I'm afraid you would be in a terrible state now."
He has already entered Hades.”
Master Chu on the side said in a deep voice: "The underworld is not a place we should go. Unless your soul can enter after death, it is very difficult for a living person to get out after entering."
At this time, my body was already covered with a layer of sticky cold sweat.
I didn't expect that my soul was out of my body just now. Damn it, I am a little blaming myself.
At the same time, I swallowed my saliva and hurriedly thanked Master Qi, "Thank you, Master Qi. If it weren't for your words just now, I'm afraid I would have really lost my soul and turned into a mummy!"
Master Qi smiled slightly and moved a little closer to me.
Then he actually put his arm around my shoulders and said to me in a friendly manner: "Little brother Tianyi, I just saved you, don't you have to repay me?"
Master Qi's face always made me feel strange. Just now he looked like a righteous Taoist priest, but now he suddenly changed his expression. It was really hard for me to get used to seeing him so close.
"Master Qi, what do you mean?"
I scratched my head and asked timidly.
I noticed that Master Qi's arm around my shoulders tightened a little. He smiled and whispered to me, "Look, I just saved you. Can you take me to see your great master? I want to meet him and learn something."
After hearing what Master Qi said, my nervousness suddenly subsided, and to be honest, I almost laughed at Master Qi's expression. It's just to meet someone, but he made it sound like he was going to a dance hall to find a lady.
This Master Qi is really cute.
Seeing me hesitate, Master Qi quickly said, "Well, I'll give you two ghost pills this time, and you let me see your master. Don't worry, it's just the two of us who will go, and we won't tell the others, so they can go too."
I smiled bitterly and made up a lie: "Master Qi, I'm afraid that's not a good idea. Besides, my master has a really weird temper. He is very withdrawn and will hit people when he gets angry. Once, I broke into his house without his permission and was beaten to death. More than a dozen ribs were broken."
After hearing what I said, Master Qi bared his teeth.
It was as if the person with broken ribs was him, not me.
He stuttered, "Little brother Tianyi, you... you are not kidding me, are you?"
I hurriedly said, "This is not a joke, this is real. My master is a master, and masters have strange tempers."
"And if I go without informing my master in advance, he will definitely be angry. When he gets angry, even the mice in the house are afraid. So, Master Qi, I think you should not embarrass me. What if my master doesn't want to see strangers?"
But I can't say that for sure, so I changed the subject and continued, "But if there's a chance, I'll tell my master about you. Maybe my master will meet you... And sometimes my master will go down the mountain to practice, so Master Qi, you have a chance to meet my master."
After hearing what I said, Master Qi seemed very excited.
He asked me excitedly, "Are you saying that your master has also gone down the mountain to practice and catch ghosts?"
I said, "Of course. After all, my master is also a Taoist priest who catches ghosts."
At this time, Master Qi's excitement was beyond words.
He simply grabbed my hand and slipped a small note into it.
Oh my god, they put a note in my hand, what the hell is going on? You know, I only received a note when I was in college, and it wasn’t for me, but for the boy next to me.
Master Qi hurriedly explained, "Little brother Tianyi, the note contains my phone number. If your master shows up, you can call me. I will rush over as soon as possible to see him."
I nodded helplessly and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Master Qi, don't worry, based on our fate of catching ghosts together today, I will do my best to do what you tell me to do. As soon as my master comes down from the mountain, I will try to introduce you to someone."
I found that Master Qi at this time did not look like a master at all. He looked so excited that he looked like an old child.
At this moment, Master Chu in the distance seemed to have discovered something and shouted, "Come here quickly, I found something!"
