Chapter 18 Gathering Souls and Beads (18) Returning Souls
When Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang raised his troops, he invited Liu Ji and Liu Bowen as his military adviser.In addition to his great military talent, Liu Ji is also a master of yin and yang spells.

When Liu Ji joined Zhu Yuanzhang, he brought a group of people with him. They were all Liu Ji's disciples. All of them possessed unique skills, some were proficient in wind and water, some mastered astrology, some could understand ghosts and gods, and some were familiar with ghosts.With their help, Liu Ji assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to destroy the city and pull out the stronghold, invincible.Later won the world.

Many people who followed Liu Bowen to fight the world left the court and retired to the mountains after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne.One of the warlocks named Yuan Mingqing was left alone.

In the early years of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, he learned magic skills from a Taoist priest. He could escape through walls, turn stones into gold, and scatter beans into soldiers.During the decisive battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang sent an evil way to defeat Zhu Yuanzhang's [-] troops with three paper figurines.Later, Liu Bowen sent Yuan, Ming and Qing into battle.Yuan, Ming and Qing used spiritual fire to set up formations, and the evil ways were brought back to their original form in one round.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the special strengths of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties that Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he could organize an organization with various abnormal skills, it would be more stable to the country.So he asked Liu Bowen to secretly inform Yuan, Ming and Qing to set up a secret organization - the Society of Returning Souls.In addition to helping the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang collect some world wonders, this organization's more responsibility is to help find capable people with supernatural powers.Of course, everything is kept confidential.

From then on, Yuan, Ming and Qing embarked on a journey of searching for people and spirits.The world is so big and there are so many different people.It took him almost ten years to make the Resurrection Society into an organization that Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied with.However, after the country stabilized, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the people around him would be unfavorable to him, so he deprived some talented people of military power and transferred them away from the capital.The Return of Souls is even more different. In addition to filing with the royal family, each member cannot communicate with each other. Every time they do something, they must be supervised by a special person.

There are not many different people in the world, and everyone has a different personality.For such an organization, some people could not stand the constraints and chose to leave.In order to supplement the number of people, the officials had to find someone to make up the number.Gradually, the Spirit Returning Society formed two factions, one was southbound, mainly people sent by the imperial court, and there were many heretic warlocks with evil intentions among them; The capable people and strangers left by the previous search.When there are gangs, there will be fights. People on the southbound road recommend a man named Baili Changkong as the chairman, while those on the northbound road recommend Yuan Mingqing.In order to compete for the chairman, the people on the south and north roads cast their spells and fought openly and secretly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was in his later years, there were very few people left who fought with him before.He finally pointed the knife at Liu Bowen.After Liu Bowen's death, the Huiling Society was immediately disrupted.For a long time, the people in North Road have relied on Liu Bowen to lead. After Liu Bowen's death, many members left one after another for fear of being implicated.Yuan, Ming and Qing and Baili Changkong also parted ways, and Huanlinghui became two organizations traveling south and north.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Spirit Returning Society disappeared, and things about the Spirit Returning Society gradually became less and less.It's just that other people don't know that some of the talented people who worked with Yuan Mingqing before are still continuing their work.After they died, they passed on their responsibilities to their descendants and dared not slack off.

The Southbound organization led by Baili Changkong has always wanted to annex the North Road.They once joined forces with an organization called the Evil Spirit Society to invade the North Road, but they were defeated by Yuan Mingqing on Fengming Mountain and disappeared without a trace ever since.Yuan, Ming and Qing also disappeared.

There are five major families under the Resurrection Society, and Uncle Geng's ancestor is one of them.Although Yuan, Ming and Qing had already disappeared.However, Uncle Geng's ancestors passed down the history and responsibilities of the Resurrection Society from generation to generation.As one of the few water-level spirit exorcisers on the north road of the Huihuihui, Uncle Geng has always firmly believed that the Huanlinghui will be resurrected one day.

Hou San is the helper that Uncle Geng found, but he is not very talented, and now he can't even reach the basic soil level.

"Is the person who injured Hou San a person traveling south?" I asked.

"That's right, he patted Hou San on the shoulder, and actually used the Gu needle to pierce Hou San's body." Uncle Geng sighed and said, "Hou San has been poisoned by the Gu poison, even if you go to the hospital, it's useless. It might even kill him."

"Is the third uncle hopeless?" I was still a little unwilling.

"It seems that I can only go to Fubo." Uncle Geng gritted his teeth, and he took out a gorgeous kerosene lamp from the house, and then asked me to support Hou San, and he lit the kerosene lamp.

Soon, a faint halo of light floated from the kerosene lamp, and all of those halos floated on the injured part of Hou San's shoulder, and finally penetrated into his skin.The red mark on Hou San's shoulder began to fade slowly, and finally returned to normal skin color.Hou San's body also softened, and soon he regained consciousness, but his body was still very tired.

Hou San didn't know what happened, so I told him what happened.He looked surprised.But he obviously knew about it earlier than me, and he had heard about the people traveling south, but he didn't expect this to be the case for the first time.

"Old Geng, you shouldn't have saved me. It's a taboo for you to use the anti-gu lamp." Hou San looked at Uncle Geng, his eyes full of apology.

"The person traveling south is doing it on purpose. I have no other way to do the Gu he put on you. The lamp to undo the Gu can only slow you down for a while. I think I have to find someone to help. I don't think things are that simple. But words Then again, why did he ask us for the Soul Gathering Orb and the Witch Bone Comb, we don't have a Witch Bone Comb in our hands!" Uncle Geng analyzed it.

"Shouldn't the Soul Gathering Orb and the Witching Bone Comb be together? Why don't we go to Qianzhang Village and ask the Wu family to see if there are any clues?" I said.

"It's running out of time. Hou San, you rest here first, and I'll go out with you." Uncle Geng said as he put away his things.

Yucheng was very large. At that time, the Eastern New District had not yet developed. Except for some local households, the rest were empty wilderness.Some large factories are located there.Many people who come to work from other places like to go shopping and eat at night, thus forming an irregular and standardized residential area.

Uncle Geng took us to an alley in the middle of the residential area, where there was a small noodle shop, the surrounding area was dirty and messy, and some smell came in from time to time.But it didn't affect the noodle restaurant's business at all.

When we entered the braised noodle restaurant, there was no place yet.It took a few minutes for someone to give up the table.We sat down and a woman in a greasy apron cleared the table.After asking us a few words about what to eat, we turned our buttocks and entered the back kitchen.

Ten minutes later, an old man wearing a chef's hat put three steaming bowls of braised noodles in front of us.

Uncle Geng didn't speak, picked up his chopsticks and ate.

I looked at him in confusion. Although my stomach was growling with hunger, I lost my appetite when I saw some black powder in the bowl and the grass roots left by washing the bowl.

Uncle Geng ate very happily, and even drank the soup cleanly.

The old man was sitting at the counter, knocking sunflower seeds, squinting his eyes, looking lazy.

The whole meal lasted about 10 minutes, and Hou San and I didn't eat much.When the woman came to clean up, she looked at the leftovers in our bowls and muttered something.Uncle Geng picked up 100 yuan and respectfully put it in front of the old man.

I was very puzzled, could this old man be the person Uncle Geng wanted us to meet?

The old man picked up the money slowly, squinted his eyes carefully for a while, and then put the money on the table.

At this time, someone came in to eat again, and the old man waved his hand and said, "There is no more food."

The visitor froze for a moment, then left resentfully.

A smile appeared on Uncle Geng's face, and he sat down in front of the old man like a child.The two were muttering something, but the old man's expression remained dull, like a sleepy and sickly old cat.

I didn't dare to get close, and sat by the side and waited quietly.

It wasn't until Uncle Geng finished speaking and took out the soul-gathering orb from his pocket that the old man looked up and saw me.

"Xiao Leng, come here." Uncle Geng yelled at me.

I immediately stood up and walked over.

The old man nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on me.I feel that the old man's eyes are like a pair of eagle eyes, staring straight at you, as if he wants to see through your internal organs and take away all the secrets in your heart.

The old man stared at me for 3 minutes.I feel a little uncomfortable.

Uncle Geng next to him also felt strange, his eyes full of confusion.

"Take off your shirt." Suddenly, the old man yelled at me.

"What?" I froze for a moment.

Before I could react, the old man's body jumped up and ran in front of me. Then he stretched out his hand to grab my shirt and pulled it open with a hook.

"What are you doing?" I hurriedly covered my exposed chest, and couldn't help cursing in my heart, is this old man a pervert?But I know he is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise Uncle Geng would not respect him so much.

"There are treasures on this doll." The old man looked at me and said.

"Yes, his mother asked him for a Xuanwu God Chain." Uncle Geng said.

"No, not that." The old man shook his head and sat down at the counter again.

"Then Uncle Fu, about the Soul Gathering Orb...?" Uncle Geng asked in a low voice.

"You guys go back, the people traveling south will come and let them find me." Uncle Fu waved his hand.

"Hou San's injury will trouble you even more," said Uncle Geng.

Uncle Fu nodded, "Go outside and find Ma Lian."

Uncle Geng's face was filled with joy, and he thanked him again and again.

"You baby, stop." Just as we were leaving, Forbe stopped me again.

Uncle Geng went inside without knowing, but Uncle Fu asked him to wait for me outside.

I don't know what this old man is going to do, but seeing Uncle Geng respect him so much, I don't dare to offend him.Just staring at him stupidly.

"It's just a little dull, and I haven't gotten the hang of it yet." Uncle Fu was slightly disappointed.

"It's okay, I'm leaving." I said tentatively.

"This is for you, remember not to tell others." Fu Bo took out a black brocade bag from his pocket.

I reached out and took it.

"Don't open it unless it is absolutely necessary." After Fu Bo finished speaking, he waved his hand and closed his eyes again.
