Chapter 297 Wandering Soul
Chapter 297 Wandering Soul
Tian Lin heard this and said, "It seems that Patriarch Shang also feels that this matter is risky, so he doesn't dare to take the risk himself. How about this, Miss Mei stays outside, and I, Senior Brother Ju, and Elder Shang will enter the sea of consciousness together."
Tian Lin was so selfless that the Shang clan leader became a little hesitant.
"I am naturally grateful to Fellow Daoist Tian for risking his life to help. But Fellow Daoist Tian is only at the initial stage of foundation building, I am afraid?"
He was not only worried about Tian Lin's safety, but also worried that if Tian Lin failed, his son might also be affected.
The best way, of course, is for Ju Yunhai and Mei Xiangu to take action, because both of them are in the late stage of foundation building.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Shang. Although my cultivation is not strong, my soul is not weak either."
Tian Lin said to Mei Xiangu, "After my brother and I entered Mr. Shang's sea of consciousness, it's all up to Miss Mei to protect us. If anything unexpected happens to us, Miss Mei will know what to do, right?"
Mei Xiangu looked at the five brothers of the Shi family and said in a cold voice: "Whoever dares to do something wrong under my nose, I will make him die miserably!"
The fourth son of the Shi family stood up at this time and was about to curse Fairy Mei.
But Fairy Mei was not so polite. A plum blossom flew out from between her eyebrows, leaving a scratch on the face of the fourth son of the Ju family.
Her movements were so fast that many people present didn't react at all.
The head of the Shi family stood up at this time, looking at Mei Xiangu in doubt, and heard Mei Xiangu say coldly:
"Killing you is no more difficult than killing a chicken. So I advise you not to have any bad ideas, lest you harm others and yourself."
The five brothers of the Shi family are only outer disciples of the Xiangxi Sect. They are not even as good as the Class A disciples.
Before Fairy Mei obtained the Dao Seed, she was able to overwhelm nearly ten Class B disciples of the Wendao Sect. Could it be that the five brothers of the Shi family are stronger than the Class B disciples of the Wendao Sect?
In short, Tian Lin left Fairy Mei outside so that she could intimidate the five brothers.
Mei Xiangu was Tian Lin's swordsman. If Tian Lin died, Mei Xiangu would not be able to live alone. Therefore, Tian Lin was very confident in Mei Xiangu, knowing that she would find a way to protect herself for her own life.
"Fellow Daoist Mei is very skilled. If you can enter my child's sea of consciousness—"
Patriarch Shang's eyes lit up, and he stood up and bowed to Fairy Mei.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Mei Xiangu said to him, "If anything happens to Tian Lin, not only will his brothers from the Shi family die, but I will also take you, the Shang family, with me."
The words that Chief Shang wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them anymore.
The ones who felt even more ashamed and angry than Patriarch Shang were the brothers of the Shi family.
They are the outer disciples of the Xiangxi Sect. How could they have ever been looked down upon like this?
At this time, several people began to seriously consider the identity of Mei Xiangu. The corpse boss couldn't help but ask, "Which elder of the Dao Sect are you a disciple of? You are so arrogant. Do you want to attack my Xiangxi Sect?"
Mei Xiangu ignored him, but Tian Lin asked the Shang clan leader: "In addition to exorcising the evil spirits, we will also have to cry for the dead, so when does the Shang clan leader plan to start exorcising the evil spirits?"
At this time, Clan Leader Shang advised Tian Lin, "In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Tian does not need to enter the child's sea of consciousness. Why not let Fellow Daoist Ju and Elder Shang enter the child's sea of consciousness to exorcise the evil spirits?"
What he is considering now is the safety of himself and the entire tribe. As for whether he can exorcise the evil spirit or not, whether his son lives or dies is no longer a big deal.
Tian Lin looked at Ju Yunhai and Elder Shang, only to see that Elder Shang had an ugly expression on his face and Ju Yunhai had a mocking look on his face.
Tian Lin laughed and said to Patriarch Shang: "If I don't enter the sea of consciousness, how can Elder Shang and Senior Brother Ju feel at ease to enter the sea of consciousness? So Patriarch Shang, please tell me when to start exorcism."
The Shang clan leader looked at the corpse boss over there: "Fellow Daoist corpse?"
The old corpse said: "Of course, the sooner the better. I'm afraid that if we delay too long, the seal will not be able to trap your ancestor's soul."
The Shang clan leader said, "Then after dinner, let's go to my Shang family's ancestral hall to exorcise evil spirits." The meal was tasteless to begin with, and what the Shang family offered was not some fine wine, so people didn't have much appetite.
Soon a group of people went to the Shang family's ancestral hall, which was a cave guarded by many people.
At this time, a large open space was specially cleared in the cave, and eight shelves were filled with candles and hung with bronze mirrors.
In the middle of the eight shelves, there was another red coffin. The red coffin was tightly closed, and a young man was tied to the coffin lid.
Although the young man had his eyes closed, his body was shaking from time to time. What was even more bizarre was that from time to time, clear collision sounds could be heard from the red coffin below the young man.
"The body of my ancestor is sealed in the red coffin. He has now become a walking corpse."
Patriarch Shang explained: "According to Daoist Corpse, what we need to do is to take the spirit of my ancestor out of the child's body and seal it into the corpse."
Tian Lin nodded and turned to look at the elder of the Shi family: "What should we do now?"
Boss Corpse snorted coldly, glanced at Mei Xiangu and said to Tian Lin:
"We are still cooperating with you now, not because we are afraid of you, but because it is not easy to let go of the spiritual stones after accepting them from the merchants. You must understand this."
Tian Lin smiled and said, "Brother Shi, you don't need to explain. In fact, our two sects have been neighbors for many years, and there is no hatred between us. Could it be that I would still suspect that you are a villain who secretly hurts others?"
This is a polite remark that will be easily exposed, but at least it is a way out.
The corpse boss snorted, placed three cushions in front of the red coffin and asked Tian Lin and the other two to sit cross-legged.
After Tian Lin and the other two sat down, Boss Corpse took out three red candles from his sleeves and placed them in front of the three people.
He was seen placing three mirrors in front of the red candles. As the red candles were lit, the faces of Tian Lin, Ju Yunhai and Elder Shang were reflected in the mirrors one after another.
At this time, inside the stone chamber, the candles on all the shelves were lit.
The five brothers of the Shi family were in five directions, some were beating the wooden fish, some were ringing the copper bell.
What surprised Mei Xiangu was that when she looked from behind Tian Lin, she saw the image in the bronze mirror reflecting Tian Lin move.
In the bronze mirror, Tian Lin opened his eyes, stood up, and looked around.
But Mei Xiangu knew clearly that Tian Lin's body was not moving.
Soon, she understood that the image in the bronze mirror reflected Tian Lin's soul.
In other words, Tian Lin's soul has now left his body.
Sure enough, when she looked at the bronze mirrors of Ju Yunhai and Elder Shang, she also saw in the mirrors that their souls had left their bodies and turned into wandering spirits.
'Zhi Zhi Zhi'
The bronze mirror suddenly started to rotate, changing direction as the three wandering souls moved, and soon they were all aimed at the young man on the red coffin.
At the same time, Boss Corpse opened his eyes and said, "We will keep ringing the bell, but when the bell stops ringing, you will know that daybreak is approaching. By then, whether you succeed or not, you must come out of Young Master Shang's sea of consciousness. Otherwise, it will be difficult for your soul to return to its original place."
