Schoolhouse of Wronged Souls

Chapter 37

"It's better for everyone to go together so we can take care of each other. Liu Bin, stay behind and explain the situation inside," Li Ke calmly arranged.

"Okay. That's how it is now." Jiang Yu quickly made a phone call. Then, although unwilling, she had no choice.

Zhang Xiaodi, after arguing, carried Liu Quan to the hospital.

"Tell us quickly what happened inside, and how you got out," Jiang Yu urged, displaying her warning.

Using his professional observation skills, he began to glean key information from Liu Bin's fragmented explanations.

"Is that all?" After listening to Liu Bin's account, Li Ke really felt like giving him a good beating.

"Yes. All I know is that when I woke up, Xu Xian said something about Wu Xi not being Wu Xi, and then told me to take good care of myself."

Gu Liuquan, not long after, Wu Xi started chanting strange things, then the wind started blowing, and then we came back.

"Liu Bin said, dumbfounded.

"It seems we need to hurry to Shaolin Temple to find Master Yuanyin, because I think the reason Xu Xian brought them back was because he knew..."

There was danger there, so he must have reached some kind of agreement with Wu Xi to ensure their safe return.

"I don't believe that agreement would be in Xu Xian's best interest. Therefore, Xu Xian must be in danger right now," Jiang Yu analyzed worriedly.

"Okay, Liu Bin and I will go together. Captain Jiang, you stay here and keep watch. But remember, don't do anything reckless. We'll be there by tomorrow at the latest."

"They rushed back early this morning. They must wait for us to return before taking any action." Li Ke trusted Jiang Yu to know what he was doing, so he was at ease.

He let him stay here. But he was also worried about whether it was the right thing to do to put Jiang Yu in such a dangerous place.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Jiang Yu patted Li Ke's shoulder. In her eyes, the boys in front of her were already...

They were all true men. She believed they could live up to her expectations and complete their mission.

Inside the basement, Xu Xian was unaware that the group on the ground had gone to fetch reinforcements. He and Lu Shaohuai remained facing each other.

"Alright, I have fulfilled your request."

"I know you're a person of your word," Xu Xian said sincerely.

"Can you tell me why you think Xinrui made those gestures?"

"Because I know that in Yunnan's witchcraft, besides black witchcraft, there is also white witchcraft. Black witchcraft is used to control people."

"White magic controls the soul, while black magic controls the mind."

"What does this have to do with those gestures?"

"I originally thought that since Miss Peng's soul was sealed and her spiritual power was transferred to you, you shouldn't have the ability to unseal it."

The seal was used to create those gestures, but it was also my companion's near-death experience. I've always wondered why all those whose souls have left their bodies...

They would all die without pain, but Zhang Xiaodi and Liu Bin endured immense suffering, and their souls even...

They arrived at this basement, but in the end, they were saved because a gray-haired man opened the basement door for them.

The door. Think about it. How could someone who has never missed a kill using the Soul Separation Technique make such a mistake? That's why I'm convinced they...

The events weren't all done by the same person, but rather by different people trying to hint at something to those who could understand the secrets behind it.

Let's assume that person is me. What is it trying to tell me? What do you think it is?

Reply [50]: “What do you want to tell me?” Xu Xian asked Lu Shaohuai in return.

.

"Is it trying to tell you that it's impossible to forcibly manipulate your limbs into the desired shape after your soul has left your body, but rather that you must use..."

Mind spells infuse the deceased's final consciousness with desired actions, thus ensuring the deceased displays the final posture of death after death.

"Lu Shaohuai followed Xu Xian's words and gave the answer. "Who is that white-haired man?"

"Hehe, it's Miss Peng." Xu Xian didn't want to keep him in suspense, so he said it directly.

"She, she should be dressed as a young married woman. How come her hair is gray?"

"Although the soul does not age, the mind grows old while waiting. Miss Peng uses mind magic; what she..."

This reflects precisely her inner world.

"Is that so? I didn't know she knew white magic." Lu Shaohuai was somewhat skeptical of Xu Xian's answer.

"Do you know what it means to be born with it? I remember reading in a book when I was studying exorcism that people in Yunnan can..."

Girls chosen as saints generally possess an innate ability, equivalent to the mind in white magic.

Spells. It is because they possess this ability that they can become messengers of both gods and demons. And this ability can be transferred, and

"It just so happens that Miss Peng inherited this innate ability from her mother," Xu Xian continued to explain. Suddenly, he understood Miss Peng.

So that's the purpose of those gestures. If Lu Shaohuai knew…

Xu Xian felt a pang of pity. A hundred years... and this was the result.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Shaohuai was startled when he saw Xu Xian's expression turn somewhat sorrowful.

"You...how do you plan to save Miss Peng?" Xu Xian changed the subject. He thought perhaps he was overthinking things. Perhaps...

That's not actually the case.

"Alright. Now it's just the right time for me to start breaking the curse, but before that, I need to borrow something from you." Lu Shaohuai took a step forward.

Step by step, Xu Xian approached.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Xian took several large steps back, quickly increasing the distance between them.

"I've calculated it. To break this spell, one must harmonize the yin and yang of heaven, earth, and humanity as a catalyst before the spell can be cast. Wu Xi's birth chart is entirely yin."

"You happen to have a purely Yang birth chart. And this place and time are the most auspicious for Yin and Yang energies. Therefore, I wish to borrow your blood." Lu Shaohuai said, step by step...

They pressed close to Xu Xian.

"You want my blood? Fine, but you have to promise me you'll stay calm no matter what happens." Xu Xian knew that blood was the key to survival.

The matchmaking itself doesn't actually require much bloodshed, it just drains one's energy. But what he's most worried about is that the outcome won't be what Lu Shaohuai hopes for.

At that time, Lu Shaohuai might suffer a qi deviation due to unexpected blows. Therefore, he wanted to give him some psychological preparation beforehand.

But at this moment, Lu Shaohuai was no longer listening to anything. Hearing Xu Xian's willingness to donate blood, he was overjoyed and spoke to Xu Xian without a second thought.

He nodded in agreement.

They stood before Peng Xinrui's grave, each making a long cut on their arm and slowly dripping blood onto the grave mound.

Lu Shaohuai silently recited the incantation for the Soul Condensation Spell.

Five minutes passed. Lu Shaohuai had long since finished chanting the incantation, but the tomb remained completely still.
