Quietly glanced at the wolf god outside the door, Huo Feng sighed, but it was difficult to tell the matter.
After all, although the behavior of the second young master of the Wu family is a bit domineering, it is not a big evil.
If you slander yourself behind your back, isn't it a villain's behavior
Even if you want to say something, you should investigate it clearly...
After thinking for a long time, Huo Feng finally made up his mind to go to the city to inquire about it in the next few days. If the second young master of the Wu family really had a bad deed, then the matter must be reported to the wolf god.
Because of something in his heart, Huo Feng ate quite silently this dinner.
At the dinner table, Lu Heng was not a talkative person either. He occasionally asked a few words about his experience in going to the city today, and he stopped asking.
After dinner, Huo Feng brought the little Gu carving into the house. In the courtyard outside the house, Lu Heng was alone again.
But today's Lu Heng, he didn't cultivate any more insights, but quietly looked in the direction of the Wu family mansion.
There, under the night sky, bright fireworks rose up, illuminating the night sky of the city.
That was a sign that Mrs. Wu was about to leave the city. Every half hour, fireworks would take off from the Wu family's mansion until after midnight.
And in this small courtyard, I do not know when there is a figure.
The mysterious black robe and tall figure were exactly the Wu congratulations Lan Zhen from Fushan City.
"I have seen the wolf god," He Lanzhen bowed and saluted.
The man in white in the courtyard also returned a salute and said, "I'm sorry to Helan Wu."
Helanzhen shook her head and said, "For a little effort, the wolf god is polite."
Lu Heng smiled and said, "The hour has come, then I'll leave the city later."
"Okay," Helanzhen replied succinctly.
Afterwards, the figures of the two disappeared from the courtyard and went towards the Pangjiang outside the city together.
The purpose of their trip was the place where the Wu family held the cremation ceremony for the old man tonight.
Lu Heng, who holds the Nether Soul Seal, wants to try to retain the old man's soul.
Chapter 114 Conjuring the Soul (Part 2)
After leaving the courtyard, the two figures flew straight into the night sky and headed out of the city.
As for Lu Heng's body, the huge white wolf was still resting in the room.
It was Lu Heng's incarnation of Yuanshen who left the city on this trip.
As for his plans for this trip, Lu Heng did not know that he would meet He Lanzhen. He just invited He Lanzhen to accompany him outside the city tonight to watch the funeral of the old man of the Wu family.
After all, Lu Heng was only the first to hold the Nether Seal, and he didn't know if he could really lead the spirit of the old man of the Wu family into Huangquan.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you boasted about Haikou in advance but couldn't do it
In the night sky of the city, two figures, one white and one black, left without attracting anyone's attention.
Although the wizard on duty in the city noticed the passing of these two figures, but with He Lanzhen accompanying him, the wizard did not dare to come and ask.
Otherwise, according to convention, if there are monks flying over the city, the wizard on duty is going to interrogate them to stop them.
And this is also an important reason why Lu Heng invited He Lanzhen to go with him.
His Primordial Spirit incarnation is not easy to walk in the city. If he wants to travel, he can only fly. With He Lanzhen accompanying him, a lot of trouble was saved.
Soon, the two flew out of the tall and magnificent Fushan City, and came to the Pangshui River outside the city.
On the pier in the distance, the lights were bright, and even when it was approaching midnight, porters and boatmen came and went.
Lu Heng and He Lanzhen stood in the night sky, overlooking the scenery under their feet.
Under their feet, a huge pile of firewood had been piled up. The pale spirit flags swayed in the night.
In the river not far away, the sound of the water and the wind were violent.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Excuse Helan Wuzhu to wait a moment."
Helanzhen nodded, and the two sat down in the night sky, waiting for the arrival of the Wu family team that was leaving the city.
And the people of the Wu family didn't make them wait too long, and soon in a noisy suona, the people of the Wu clan, dressed in robes and filial piety, surrounded the coffin of the old man of the Wu family and came here.
The little girl with silver-haired beast ears was carrying an ancient bronze sword and silently followed the team.
Beside the coffin, Wu Zhiyuan, the second young master of the Wu family, held his father's spiritual seat and cried while walking.
"Wow! Dad, you just left... You don't have to wait for the child to come back and look at you again... "
"The poor child has been away from home for many years, and when he comes back, he is separated forever..."
The exaggerated cries were heard not far away, and Wu Zhiqian, who was also holding the spiritual position, had a gloomy face.
He wanted to cry too, but Wu Zhiyuan cried so fakely and disgustingly that it made it difficult for him to cry.
So gloomy.
And Wu Zhiyuan cried while walking.
When they came to the river while protecting the coffin, all the Wu clan members knelt down and kowtowed to the old man's coffin to say goodbye.
Afterwards, a servant carried the old man's coffin onto the firewood.
Below, white spirit flags fluttered out, and the children of the Xiao family knelt down row after row.
Both Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Zhiqian knelt in the first row, but they were on one side, far away from each other.
Wu Zhiyuan still held the spiritual position and cried.
At this time, a thin middle-aged man came to him, who was Wu Zhiyuan's confidant. Named Zhang Er, he played for Wu Zhiyuan together with his brother Zhang Da.
Zhang Er whispered, "Second Young Master, I have already inquired. The silver-haired beast-eared demon whose name was changed to Lu Ai was attending the funeral of the old man on behalf of his master."
"She suddenly appeared today. She is not an old acquaintance of the eldest son, so you don't have to worry about her helping the eldest son for the time being."
The content of the subordinate's report made Wu Zhiyuan nodded and said in a low voice, "So that's how it is..."
Then he raised his head and cried and howled with heart-rending tears, before he said in a low voice, "But to be on the safe side, I'd better invite my grandmother over here. With my grandmother in charge, you can be safe."
The sharp-faced and monkey-cheeked Zhang Er smiled and said, "My brother has already gone to invite him. It won't be long before grandma and grandma will arrive. Second Young Master can rest assured."
Wu Zhiyuan let out a low laugh twice, and then howled loudly, "Father! My child can't bear you! Open your eyes and look at the child!"
Hearing the exaggerated cry, Zhang Er, who was beside him, could not help but twitch at the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but reminded in a low voice.
"Second son, you're crying too fake..."
Wu Zhiyuan grinned and howled loudly, "Father! Open your eyes and look at the child!"
After howling, he lowered his head, almost unable to hold back his laughter, his whole body was shaking.
"Pfft... Haha..." Wu Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "I can't help but want to laugh out loud, how can I cry..."
After he finished speaking, he screamed loudly again.
"Father! You left so suddenly, the child is so sad!"
At this time, the wizard who invited the abbot's funeral from the Fire Temple had finished all the ceremonies and set the fire directly.
Soon, the firewood piled up by the river suddenly burst into scorching flames, frantically roasting the corpses lying quietly in the coffin.
The scorched smell wafts along the river wind.
Lu Heng stood up in the night sky and called out the Nether Soul Seal, and he took it away only after the spirit of the old man of the Wu family escaped from his body.
But when Lu Heng and He Lanzhen stood up, a figure in the Pangshui River on the other side disappeared in a flash and also appeared in the night sky.
Lu Heng was a little surprised when he saw the appearance of the other party.
"Eh? Goddess Jiang?"
This person who appeared from the river, dressed in a divine robe, had a solemn face, and it seemed a little difficult to speak, which made people daunting. It is the ancient Zhou Zhou, the water god of the Pangjiang River that he met before.
While Lu Heng called her, Gu Zhou also saw two figures in the night sky, a little surprised.
She hurriedly leaned over and gave Lu Heng a deep salute, "Gu Zhou has seen the benefactor."
Then she stood up straight and nodded to Helanzhen, "I have seen Helan Wuzhu."
He Lanzhen also nodded, as a return gift, as always, kept silent.
But Gu Zhou didn't care, he seemed to be used to it.
She smiled and said to Lu Heng, "I didn't expect to meet Engong here... Did Engong come to watch the Wu family's funeral?"
"Well, I have an old relationship with Mrs. Wu's father, so I came here to have a look," Lu Heng said lightly, "but why is Goddess Jiang here?"
Gu Zhou looked at the flaming flames below, and said, "My concubine is here to take the soul of Mrs. Wu into the water house."
After speaking, seeing Lu Heng's surprised expression, Gu Zhou explained with a smile.
"After the souls of mortals are separated from their bodies, they will gradually dissipate from the heavens and the earth. But before they dissipate, these souls are often chaotic and helpless. "
"That's why my late husband taught the concubine the art of attracting the soul. As long as the deceased who returned to the world on both sides of the Pangjiang River, as long as they worshipped the concubine and had a touch of incense with the concubine, after the death of the concubine, the concubine would let it go. The Yaksha of the water house goes to introduce its soul into the water house, saves the pain of the wind and the sun, and waits for it to dissipate quietly, it is also a good deed."
"And like this old man of the Wu family, a kind person who used to worship a lot of incense and did good deeds, occasionally his concubine would appear in person and lead her into the water house to show respect."
Gu Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet my benefactor tonight, but it's an honor to be a concubine."
Chapter 115 Conjuring the Soul (Part 2)
Gu Zhou's explanation surprised Lu Heng.
"So that's the case," Lu Heng said. "The act of the Goddess Jiang is indeed a kind move for the benefit of the villagers. However, the soul of the old man, I am afraid that this time, I will not be able to go to the Water Mansion with the Goddess Jiang."
Lu Heng said with a smile, "Lu Mou has an old relationship with Wu Shi. He came here tonight to guide the soul of Mrs. Wu to a hidden place... Oh? Mr. Wu's soul seems to have left the body."
While Lu Heng was talking, there was a faint wisp of white smoke rising into the sky along with the burning firewood from the high and elevated fire at his feet.
The white smoke is illusory and invisible to ordinary people.
Even practitioners, if their cultivation base is not enough, I am afraid they will not be able to sense it.
—For example, a cultivator like Lu Heng who has not even opened the gate of heaven, theoretically cannot sense the energy of the soul.
But with the Nether Soul Requiem imprint in his hand, he was the first to perceive the spirit energy among the three present.
Under the dark night, the roaring fire was raging, and from time to time there was the sound of the crackling of firewood.
The filial sons and worthy grandsons of the Wu clan all knelt around the fire and kowtowed to the fire from time to time under the command of the ritual wizard.
On the outside are the accompanying guests, relatives and friends, as well as some city residents who come to join in the fun.
There was a surging crowd of people on the riverside, and it was very lively. The sound of suona and sad music continued to sound, congratulating the old man of Wu on his death.
In the night sky, Lu Heng directly waved his hand and slowly led the illusory white smoke to him.
Then, under the gazes of Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen, the wisps of white smoke gradually showed a human form around Lu Heng, vaguely forming the appearance of an old man.
This scene surprised both Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen.
He Lanzhen was taciturn, while Gu Zhou spoke directly in surprise.
"Eunuch, can you summon your soul?" Gu Zhou looked surprised.
Although she has also led many good souls who have done good deeds and accumulated virtues to the water house, her yaksa often do such things.
But whether it was the yaksa under her seat, or herself, they were all guarded in the cremation place, and only after the body of the deceased was cremated, the soul gradually separated from the body and completely manifested in the outside world, would they come forward to receive him.
But the wolf god actually skipped the waiting process and directly called out the soul of the old man
Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen were both surprised, but at the riverside at the foot of Lu Heng, among the crowd watching the lively, a red-haired woman also spied on this scene, spit out a sip of wine, and her expression was astonished.
This world is not without the art of attracting souls, some vicious incantations, and even the souls of living people can be directly pulled out of the body and tortured.
If someone with a low cultivation base sees this scene of Lu Heng summoning a spirit, it will not feel strange at all.
But the three people who watched this scene were all people with excellent eyesight, and at a glance they could see that Lu Heng's soul-calling technique was completely different from ordinary people's soul-calling.
First of all, he did not prepare any spells. All three people present could feel that the wolf god did not use any mana when he summoned the soul.
Secondly, when he summoned the soul of Mrs. Wu, the gradually solidified soul did not suffer from being pulled and dragged by violence.
Being able to do these two things at the same time is like... Lu Hengyan has the power to control the soul!
Only the powerful envoys can be so light and without the slightest fireworks.
