People in the village are used to going to bed early and getting up early, not to mention such a big event in their hearts. As soon as it was dawn, the sister-in-law of the eldest sister of the Liu family hugged her youngest son who was still sleeping soundly, and guarded the gate of Liu's house with her family, but she didn't dare to disturb "Master Bai" to rest at all.
They waited until the sky was bright and the Liu family started going out after breakfast, and then everyone entered the courtyard to meet Bai Duan.
Although it is only about one child, it involves three families. The Liu family, the husband's family of the eldest sister of the Liu family, and the husband's family of the eldest sister of the Liu family are all looking forward to the recovery of the child. In addition to other villagers who are closely related, basically the whole village is paying attention to this matter.
Even though he had never demonstrated the skills of a celestial master in front of so many people, Bai Duan did not have stage fright at all. On the contrary, due to the serious atmosphere and high pressure, he became more focused and undivided. In the eyes of the villagers, they felt that this "Bai Duan" Although "Master" is young, his demeanor is calm and sophisticated, and he is extremely reliable.
Pulling the child to his side, Bai Duan checked the child's soul using the method he had learned from the notes—this is actually a kind of spiritual power use, as long as the spiritual power is penetrated into the child's consciousness, it is clear at a glance whether the soul is complete or not .
Bai Duan didn't understand the fundamental principle, but the body's instinctive manipulation of mental power allowed him to enter a mysterious and mysterious situation very easily. Just like the initial detection of "Qi", he didn't know how he was. It can be done, but it happens to be able to do it.
Using mental power to turn around the child's lack of protection, Bai Duan withdrew his mental power and nodded slightly: "It is true that there is a soul missing in his body, and the lack of this small soul will not affect his daily life, but it is true. It has a huge impact on IQ."
"Then, what should we do then?" the child's mother said anxiously, looking at Bai Duan eagerly.
Bai Duan frowned slightly: "I haven't found any scattered souls around the child, after all, so long has passed, if this strand of soul doesn't find a suitable attachment, it should have been disintegrated by nature—after all, such a soul Fragments, not even ghosts can form."
Listening to Bai Duan's frank talk about ghosts and gods, the villagers felt a little timid, and the older people clasped their hands together, muttering apologetic words—after all, in the consciousness of the villagers, talking about ghosts is easy to attract ghosts, and talking about ghosts is easy. .
"Then... so there's no other way?" The aunt's expectant expression collapsed, her tone trembling.
"It depends on luck." Bai Duan pondered for a moment, "I also said just now that if the attachment is not found, the soul will not be found. But everything has the instinct of self-preservation, and the soul is no exception. Part of the possibility is that in order to prevent itself from being decomposed naturally, it has found something to attach to, so that it can be preserved for several years."
—Actually, apart from this method that depends entirely on luck, there is another method that is to split other people's souls to make up. But this kind of method is very dangerous, it will cause rejection between souls and lead to worse development, and more importantly, it is also completely vicious and vicious, which is extremely harmful to the harmony of the world. Even if Bai Duan knew it, he would never speak out.
"Then...the attached object..." The sister-in-law hugged her son tightly, her eyes shining brightly.
"I see that there are quite a lot of animals in the village. Most of the soul fragments will choose animals that have not developed too strong self-consciousness as attachment objects." Bai Duan touched his chin, "Have you found any... strange animals? Such as sudden personality A big change, or a very intelligent, understanding animal?"
"Our Ah Hua is very understanding!" The sister-in-law's mother-in-law quickly replied loudly, "That puppy has been different from the other puppies in his litter since he was a child. He is very smart! He can learn what he can, and he can help Let's feed the chickens!"
"The black tiger at the head of the village is also very likely! When I looked at that cat, I felt that it was just like a human being!" Another old man followed suit and expressed his opinion.
The villagers discussed enthusiastically, and several animals were listed in all directions, but they were unwilling to let go of anything that was a little strange.
Bai Duan had to raise his voice to stop them, and asked them to bring the suspicious animal to him for inspection. Everyone listened to Bai Duan's request and acted quickly. As the saying goes, "the strength of a large number of people", within an hour, there were many more animals in the yard of Liu's house - there was even a big rooster among them. This rooster suddenly stopped crowing one day two years ago.
Seeing the chickens flying and dogs jumping in the yard, Bai Duan was very helpless, but she also had to be patient and use her mental strength to test the past one by one. I don't know whether the environment with many animals in the village created favorable conditions for the soul's attachment, or the child's deep luck, in short, it really made Bai Duan find a different aura from a spotted dog.
Picking up the dappled dog, Bai Duan stroked the dog's head, and looked up at the elder sister-in-law with a tense expression: "The soul of your child should be on this little guy."
The eldest sister-in-law opened her mouth, tears streaming out, holding her child and weeping uncontrollably, while her mother-in-law slapped her thigh excitedly: "I knew it! Ah Hua has been smart since she was a child! She is different from other puppies! "
"Then what's next? If I find that soul, my son will be able to return to normal?" The elder aunt's husband calmed down a little, and asked eagerly.
"I will try my best to strip that strand of soul from the puppy and put it into the child's body, but I cannot guarantee a 100% success rate." This is the first time Bai Duan has done such a thing, and he cannot give any guarantee, "After all, it has been too long , this strand of soul is about to merge with the puppy..."
Bai Duan looked rather embarrassed, and although the villagers were a little disappointed and worried, they didn't dare to put too much pressure on him. They could only say "it doesn't matter" and "do your best", and then watched Bai Duan and Liu Tao lead each other. The child hugged the dog alone, walked into the house and closed the door.
Blocking everyone's eyes from the door, Bai Duan's calm expression suddenly collapsed, frowning at the innocent boy sitting on the chair at a loss.
"Do you know what to do?" Liu Tao put his arms around Bai Duan's shoulders, and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. In the past two days when he was back in his hometown, Liu Tao was very well-behaved, and he didn't dare to go too far. Afraid of being spotted by his family, he ruined his plan to come out for no reason.
Last night, Bai Duan and he slept in the same room, on the same single bed, and their bodies were tightly pressed together. The feeling... he couldn't control it at all. However, Liu Tao knew how bad the sound insulation effect of his home was. Let alone doing something he loved to do, he didn't even dare to kiss, and finally had to freeze his body and open his eyes until dawn.
—Since he lived with Bai Duan, he has never lived such a miserable life!
Raising his hand and pulling his lover's head aside, Bai Duan is not in the mood to kiss me with Liu Tao now, he pursed his lips with a tangled expression: "After all, it is the division of the soul, this is the first time for me to do such a delicate job, Just in case..."
"Don't worry." Liu Tao chuckled, he held the Palbald dog in his arms firmly, and held Bai Duan's hand against the puppy's forehead, "Follow me, I will teach you, just be careful , it is not difficult."
Bai Duan nodded slightly, and allowed Liu Tao to probe into his sea of consciousness without any resistance. He didn't think much about it at first, but when Liu Tao's spiritual thread entangled his own spiritual power, he suddenly remembered the absurd night when he was violated by the other party in the form of a soul body. force to repel one's own sea of consciousness.
Being suddenly kicked out of the sea of consciousness by his lover, Liu Tao was a little confused, but when he saw the red-faced Bai Duan, he immediately understood and showed an ambiguous smile.
Bai Duan was even more ashamed by his smile, and couldn't help but glared at him, but couldn't say anything—after all, this was his own wrong thinking, and it had nothing to do with Liu Tao.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Duan tried to clear up the messy thoughts in his mind: "I wasn't ready just now, let's do it again."
"Okay." Liu Tao blinked his eyes lightly, deliberately lowered his voice, hoarse and gentle, "Are you ready now? Then I'll... come in~ come~"
Bai Duan: "... ... ... ..."
—It’s really hard not to want to be crooked, you bastard!
Even though he was eloquent, Liu Tao was quite reliable when he really did things, and he didn't take advantage of the opportunity.
Under the guidance of Liu Tao, Bai Duan probed into the consciousness of the spotted dog, carefully touched the half-fused part of the two souls, and slowly separated the two.
Splitting a half-fused soul is not an easy task, on the contrary it is extremely painful. The spotted dog let out a mournful wail and struggled vigorously, but was tightly restrained by Liu Tao, who had been prepared for a long time, which did not affect Bai Duan's movements at all.
Thanks to Liu Tao's assistance, the process of Bai Duan's first separation of spirit and soul was relatively smooth. After spending more than an hour, he finally peeled off the small sliver of human soul fragments from Palalia's consciousness and sent them into the boy's body.
The intrusion of the "new" soul also caused the boy to have a rejection reaction. He let out a scream, held his head and shook it violently, but was firmly held down by Liu Tao, and Bai Duan took the opportunity to draw a spell on his forehead, binding the soul fragments in the body and urging it to fuse with the body.
The boy rolled on the ground several times with his head in his arms, and finally fell asleep under the influence of the spell. At this time, Bai Duan was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, his body was limp, and he was about to fall.
After hastily checking the unconscious boy and Dalmatians, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, Liu Tao stretched out his hand to support Bai Duan, put his arms around him, and carefully sat down on the chair.
"Are you okay?" Wiping off the sweat on Bai Duan's forehead, Liu Tao couldn't hide his distress as he looked at his pale lover.
"It's okay, just take a rest." Bai Duan nodded, asked about the situation of the child and the spotted dog, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, "Go and call the child's family."
Liu Tao wanted Bai Duan to continue to rest, but his lover was soft-hearted, and he didn't want the boy's relatives to continue to worry, so he had to act according to his lover's wishes.
Walking to the door, as soon as Liu Tao opened the door, he was almost thrown down by the elder sister-in-law who was close to the door. Her expression was earnest and worried, and she held on to Liu Tao's clothes tightly: "What's the matter? I... I just heard the child's cry..."
Liu Tao held her shoulders, stabilized her body, and then smiled reassuringly: "The result is good, the child's soul has returned to its place."
"Really, really...?" The aunt cast her eyes on Bai Duan, seeing him nodding slightly with a smile on her face, her heart finally fell to the ground with a bang. She took a step back in a daze, then quickly rushed to her sleeping son and hugged him into her arms.
Feeling that he was tightly embraced by someone, the boy woke up leisurely, a bit of spirituality finally appeared in his once dull eyes, and he tilted his head in doubt: "Mom?"
The elder aunt's lips trembled, and she cried loudly while hugging her child, as if she wanted to vent all the fear, despair, and sadness of the past two or three years, so uncontrollably.
Although the boy regained his sanity, he still didn't understand the current situation. He was hugged by his mother ignorantly, and patted his mother's shoulder carefully, but unexpectedly felt his comfort, and the other party cried even harder stand up.
The elder aunt cried heart-rendingly, and soft-hearted women like Liu's mother and the eldest sister of the Liu family could not help but wipe away a few tears with empathy. And the boy's relatives knelt down in front of Bai Duan in gratitude, so frightened that he quickly jumped up and helped the old people.
"Both the child and the dog are fine, but they will be weak recently. Let them rest and sleep more." After finally calming down the boy's emotional relatives, Bai Duan coughed lightly, "As for the child ...Because a strand of soul has stayed on the dog for a long time, it may have acquired a bit of dog's temperament and habits, but this is not a serious problem, as long as you teach him more and correct it, you will soon be able to get rid of these influences. "
Regarding Bai Duan's words, the child's family members respected Bai Duan's words, and they did not have any ambiguous doubts, and Bai Duan's reputation reached its peak in the village through this matter. The outstanding master easily cured the little fool in the village who had been foolish for several years.
In order to thank Bai Duan, Sister Liu's husband's family and sister-in-law's husband's family sent a lot of their best food, and even sealed a big red envelope together - although Bai Duan rejected it in the end. And other people in the village became more courteous to Bai Duan's hospitality. Every household sent gifts, and many people came to ask him questions about various mysterious events. He tried his best to respond to what he learned in the book. Anyway, no matter what he said, the villagers believed in it and returned with satisfaction.
As for the Liu family who invited Bai Duan as a distinguished guest, their status in the village has also risen accordingly. Everyone looks up to them, making the Liu family stand upright no matter where they go, and they respect Bai Duan even more.
Bai Duan stayed in the village for ten days, and then, in the nostalgia of the villagers, she took the big and small bags and was sent to the long-distance station in the county town to bid farewell to Liu's father and Liu Tao.
After seeing off Bai Duan, the Liu family was still talking about "Master Bai"'s every move until they returned home and had dinner. They were embarrassed to say these things in front of Bai Duan, but now they have opened up the chatter box, and they just feel that no matter what "Master Bai" says or does, he is first-class. Even in the face of them rural people in impoverished villages, there is no slightest contempt.
Liu Tao ate in silence, while listening to his parents, under the guidance of the second sister, boasting about Bai Duan. When he was full, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, there is something I have to tell you."
Liu's father and Liu's mother were taken aback by their son's serious tone, but before they could react, they saw Liu Tao standing up and kneeling in front of them neatly.
"You child! What are you doing?!" Liu's father stretched out his hand to grab Liu Tao's arm, but before he could use any force, he heard his son's decisive words: "Dad, Mom, Bai Duan and I are not ordinary friends. Love and happiness, we are already together—I will live with him for the rest of my life!"
Father Liu froze, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "..."
The chopsticks in her hand fell, and Mother Liu with a dull expression said: "..."
Knowing that there would be such an event, the second sister of the Liu family turned her head and covered her face: "..."
