Inside the dark ward, Shen Tengfei stood in the distance, shaking the soul-catching bell with his right hand.
The dim flame of the candle was flickering slightly.
After I had made all the preparations, I began to slowly recite the name of the middle-aged woman, Qiu Yafang.
"Qiu Yafang, Qiu Yafang..."
Just as I read Qiu Yafang's name, the red rope connecting the candle and the middle finger of the woman's right hand suddenly tightened.
What was even more incredible to me was that the candle flame that had just been stained by the blood from my fingertips suddenly became much dimmer, and it looked as if the candle flame was about to go out.
Dean Shen Tengfei in the distance was a little nervous.
He asked, "Brother Xiao Yang, will everything be alright?"
I said in a deep voice, "President Shen, don't worry, it's okay. Wait, no matter what you see, don't say a word, otherwise you will scare away Qiu Yafang's soul, and it will be difficult for us to find her!"
Although Shen Tengfei didn't know what I was talking about, he nodded happily anyway.
He said seriously: "Okay, okay, Brother Xiao Yang, I'll listen to you!" Then he closed his mouth and said no more.
In fact, when I dripped the blood from Qiu Yafang's right fingertips onto the candle, the flame of the candle had already begun to be connected with Qiu Yafang's life.
This is what Master Qi told me.
I was also surprised when I heard his words at that time. Now it seems to be true.
The light of the candle flame was very faint, which meant that there was not much vitality left in Qiu Yafang's body. It seemed that if her soul could not be found within half an hour, Qiu Yafang's body would probably die.
Time waits for no one.
Then I focused my eyes on the candle.
I kept repeating Qiu Yafang's name in my mouth.
"Qiu Yafang, Qiu Yafang..."
I don’t know how many times I have pronounced the name “Qiu Yafang”, but it has been many times.
Time was still passing by little by little, and slowly more than ten minutes had passed.
My mouth had become dry and my tongue was hoarse from repeating Qiu Yafang's name, but there was still no sound in the dark ward.
I was thinking in my heart,
Dao said, Master Qi guessed wrong, Qiu Yafang's soul is not in the hospital at all
Just as I was thinking this, the sound of Dean Shen shaking the soul-catching bell suddenly became urgent.
I know, I'm afraid Dean Shen has discovered something.
Indeed, when Shen Tengfei continued to shake the Soul-Catching Bell, an inadvertent glance of his eyes made him greatly shocked.
He found that a white ball of light was slowly flying in from the gap near the bottom of the ward door.
The ball of light was very bright and could not be seen at all in the sunlight, but in this dark ward, the appearance of the ball of light was very conspicuous.
Shen Tengfei's heart tightened at that time and he felt very surprised. He guessed that the fingernail-sized ball of light should be the soul of Qiu Yafang that I mentioned.
It was true, that white ball of light was Qiu Yafang's soul.
It's coming.
What made Dean Shen break out in a cold sweat was that after the ball of light flew into the ward from under the door, it actually flew up and down around the soul-catching bell.
This made Dean Shen's already nervous heart even more flustered, and he shook the soul-catching bell with his hands shaking. So much so that I, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, felt that the sound of the soul-catching bell was a bit harsh.
When the ball of light heard the sound of the Soul-Catching Bell suddenly become louder and irregular, it subconsciously moved away from the Soul-Catching Bell and was about to escape.
Fortunately, Dean Shen adjusted his mentality in time.
The fingers he was shaking with the Soul Bell slowly became steady and soon stopped shaking.
This allowed the Soul-Catching Bell to maintain a steady sound. I have to say that the doctors have a good attitude. Even if they are panicking, they can control it in time.
After hearing the sound become steady, the soul moved closer to the soul-catching bell in Dean Shen's hand again, and the soul was still jumping on the back of Dean Shen's hand.
Shen Tengfei could feel the warmth brought by the ball of light, and that feeling made him very comfortable.
I had my back to Dean Shen at that time, and I didn't know what was going on over there.
But from the sound fluctuations of the soul-catching bell just now, I have basically confirmed that the soul of the middle-aged woman Qiu Yafang should have arrived.
I'm really worried that Dean Shen will scare away that soul.
The Light Group is in Dean Shen
It flew in front of the candle for a while, and perhaps it sensed the taste of the blood on its fingertips, and the soul suddenly flew towards the candle.
And it went straight towards the candle flame, and its soul became brighter, as if it had encountered something that greatly interested it.
The soul flew around the candle flame, sometimes up and sometimes down.
It seemed to be hesitating whether to enter the flame.
What I was worried about was the candle.
The light of the candle flame was getting weaker and weaker. If the soul did not enter Qiu Yafang's body, Qiu Yafang would probably die in a few minutes.
My heart was beating fast, and I kept muttering, "My little ancestor, please get into the flames quickly, I beg you..."
But that soul seemed to be against me and refused to enter the flame.
However, the flame contains the blood from the fingertips, which is something that the soul expects and is familiar with.
After all, the life soul had been nurtured in Qiu Yafang's body, and it had a special liking for the blood flowing from the fingertip of Qiu Yafang's middle finger that was in charge of the life soul.
Time passes by every second.
Not only was Dean Shen nervous, but I, who was sitting there, also began to hold my breath and concentrate.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
I was already starting to feel anxious.
I really blame myself a little. If I had known that this method of "returning the soul" was so unreliable, I would have chosen another way.
Now I am feeling very anxious and uneasy.
But now it's useless for me to complain. Because the soul has come, I can't drive it away. So now I can only hope that the soul in front of me can enter the flame quickly.
The flame on the candle is dim and may go out soon. Time waits for no one.
Just when I was feeling anxious and uneasy, the soul suddenly plunged into the flames.
The dim flame swayed and the flame grew a lot bigger.
This means that the middle-aged woman's life is temporarily out of danger.
I thought to myself, this is great! My soul has finally entered the flame.
No
But, it’s not over yet.
If the soul did not enter Qiu Yafang's body, Qiu Yafang would still be dead.
The flames cannot harm the soul, they can only temporarily bind it.
And that red line is the bridge that connects the soul to Qiu Yafang's body.
Now the soul can only be said to be standing on the other side of the bridge, and whether to enter Qiu Yafang's body is up to it itself.
However, the middle finger has been connected to the flame, and the blood in Qiu Yafang's body can be felt by the soul.
Sure enough, after just over ten seconds, a ray of white light broke free from the flames and flew along the red rope towards Qiu Yafang's middle finger.
After the ball of light flew to the vicinity of my middle finger, it went directly into Qiu Yafang's body through the bloody wound I had just pierced.
At that time, Qiu Yafang’s “life candle” was almost completely extinguished.
"Teng!"
Just after the soul of life entered Qiu Yafang's body, the flame of Qiu Yafang's "life candle" suddenly jumped high, and the light of the flame instantly illuminated the entire dark room.
When I saw the flames getting brighter, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Finally done!”
I said, panting. To be honest, the half an hour I just spent was even more exhausting than the time I dealt with the possessed ghost in front of Fengmen Village.
Hearing my voice, Dean Shen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xiao Yang? Did you succeed?"
I turned my head, raised my hand and waved to Dean Shen, and said loudly, "Success! Dean Shen, you can stop and rest now."
Dean Shen stopped shaking the soul-calling bell in his hand and quickly went to Qiu Yafang's bed.
He reached out and took Qiu Yafang's pulse.
Then, he said to me excitedly, "The pulse is beating strongly and gradually stabilizing. She is really fine, Qiu Yafang is really saved!"
"Brother Xiao Yang, your method is really amazing!"
I shook my head, smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my method, I just asked an expert for advice."
In fact, it was me, the fake Taoist priest, who didn't understand that for an ordinary ghost-catching Taoist priest, "inviting the soul back to its place" was a very simple method.
But for me,
It seems a bit difficult.
But then again, no one is born a successful person, and everyone needs a process of growth.
I just don’t believe that even if you give me ten or twenty years, I still cannot catch up with an ordinary Taoist priest.
Then I removed the candles and the red ropes and everything.
Dean Shen also turned on the lights in the ward and opened the curtains.
As soon as the curtains were opened, Qiu Yafang woke up.
She sat up straight from the bed, her eyes gradually becoming more lively from their previous dull look.
When she saw Dean Shen, she didn't react.
But when she saw me, her brows immediately frowned again.
She shouted coldly: "Damn Taoist priest, why are you here? Get out of our hospital quickly!"
It seems that Qiu Yafang is still in a coma.
I looked miserable.
Dean Shen next to her hurried over to Qiu Yafang, took her hand and started explaining to her.
After knowing that her own soul was lost, that no one in the hospital had a father or son, and that I had saved her life, Qiu Yafang showed a look of shame on her face.
"That... Yang Tianyi, no, Brother Yang, I'm sorry! I was too reckless before! Mainly because I was too excited about my niece's matter at that time, so I bumped into you. I didn't expect that Song Cheng was actually possessed by a ghost! It seems that he can't be blamed for the leak of my niece's video."
Later, Qiu Yafang also told me about her niece.
After being diagnosed by the hospital, Qiu Yafang's niece was told that she might never get pregnant again.
Pregnancy and childbirth are very important things for a woman. So because of Song Cheng's matter, Qiu Yafang, the head nurse, was furious.
"Is it really possible to have another child?" I asked with a frown.
Qiu Yafang nodded and said with some sorrow: "Yes, that's right. My niece is weak to begin with. After what happened in Song Cheng, I'm afraid she won't be able to have children in the future!"
When she said this, Qiu Yafang suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and then she asked a particularly ambiguous question.
She looked at me expectantly and asked, "Brother Yang, can you make my niece pregnant?"
