piecing together the soul

56 Chapter 37
"I……"

It's not that I hesitate, it's that I really never thought about it.When people don't know how to face it, people will subconsciously avoid it.So I also talked about him in the same way.

"I am not as good as you imagined. I saved you not because I am kind and love to help others. I just want to prove myself. I want to take responsibility for myself to prove that I am a useful person. But, I am already scared now , I have already regretted it, I want to go back on my word! Not only am I not kind, I also broke my promise!"

Brother Xiu immediately said: "Qingluan, don't say that about yourself."

"I'm telling the truth." I didn't allow him to interrupt me. "Now I feel from the bottom of my heart that it's none of my business whether you're reincarnated or not? If you leave here today, I won't run out in the middle of the night again." I took the risk for you! I was the only one born in our family, and my life is not mine alone, so I can’t take my life like this.”

"If you are doing it for your parents, I can understand." Brother Xiu said, "It just so happens that Xiao Han and I will find the last remaining bones. But this has nothing to do with us."

"Why doesn't it matter?" I suddenly didn't know what to say, my mind was in a mess, thousands of words whizzed by, like a ball of yarn, I couldn't find the starting thread.

At this moment, I saw a green light spot through Xiuying's body, just like the one I saw before!My heart trembled, and I said, "Xiuying, get out of here!"

As I said that, I passed through his body and faced the green light. The light was always swaying up, down, left, and right, but at this moment it stopped suddenly, and then rose to my eyes.

"Master Guo, what did you see?" Master Xu asked me.

"The green light has only one point, and it's not as big as a little fingernail." Sure enough, they still couldn't see it.

"Take a dagger and stab it."

I also didn't know why Master Xu's voice was so powerful, I immediately drew out the dagger in my waist and stabbed it out.

"Crack!"

The green spot of light suddenly dimmed, and then faintly brightened again.My dagger didn't stab through the air as I imagined, but it seemed to stab something, and it made a sound.

Obviously Master Xu heard the voice, and he immediately said, "Pull it out!"

I withdrew my hand in response, but the dagger seemed to grow there, and I couldn't pull it out no matter what!

"This, no, I can't pull it out!"

Master Xu hurried over to help me pull it out, but the dagger was still motionless, I saw Master Xu's flustered eyes from the corner of my eye.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Don't move." Master Xu said, "You hold the dagger here and don't move. Xiuying, let's dig up your bones!"

"No, Master Xu, tell me clearly!"

"Stay still!" Master Xu's voice faded away, "This thing is called a real soul, invisible and tangible! It is the dagger in your hand, with your spiritual blood on it, so that it can calm him ! To be honest, I would definitely die if I encountered this thing myself!"

"Hey, you just ignore me like this!"

"I didn't ignore you!" Master Xu shouted, "I'll dig up Xiuying's bones first, and then I'll leave right away. Now that we've been talking, you shouldn't be afraid, right?"

Indeed, I can feel a little bit at ease when I can hear the voice.And I was only one turn away from them, and I felt more at ease when I could see the light that Master Xu turned on hit the wall at the turn.

"Also!"

Then I heard them whispering: "This side, this side, it should be here." Then there was a "crack", just like the sound when my dagger was inserted into this real soul just now.

I switched to holding the handle of the dagger with my left hand, and stretched out my right hand to the blade, groping forward little by little. Sure enough, my middle finger touched something first. It was icy cold and felt like marble.I stretched my hand forward again, and it seemed to shrink back.Maybe it's because of the injury on my right ring finger?
"Master Xu, don't you have yin and yang eyes? Can't you see the real soul with yin and yang eyes?"

Master Xu immediately replied: "I can't see it. Xiuying is still a ghost. Even ghosts can't see it. How can I see it?"

"Then what is this green light? Why can I see it?"

"The green light is the real soul's eyes, and also his inner alchemy! You can see it because you are awesome!" Master Xu began to talk nonsense, "Your spiritual power is powerful and your magic power is boundless. For generations to come, you will rule the world!"

"Aren't the legendary inner alchemy all red?" I asked again, "Also, why does it only have one eye? Also, can the eye and the inner alchemy be the same thing?"

"Why do you have so many questions?"

"Nonsense," I said, "the teacher taught us to ask if we don't know. Besides, didn't I just want to find something to say to overcome my inner fear?"

"You don't need to overcome it." Master Xu said, "This thing is still afraid of you!"

"Really?" With the movement of him shrinking back just now, I believe Master Xu's words, and I don't think I'm afraid of him anymore.

"Well," Master Xu said again, "and this thing is not very interested in living people. He cultivates with the soul."

"Still practicing," I said with a smile, "you speak like a goblin."

But Master Xu's words also made me understand that the thing behind Xiuying just now was trying to hit Brother Xiu.Also, the last time I saw this thing was when it first came up, and I asked again: "Master Xu, does this thing still have weight?"

"Yes." Master Xu's mind was quick, "Did you see him before?"

"Yeah." I replied, "When you pulled up the ladder, you said it was heavy, and I saw him. That's right, then I saw him rushing up, and then you said the ladder was not heavy gone."

"Wow." Voices came from Master Xu and Xiuying.

Then Master Xu said: "I went, what is this place? The walls are all made of bones! Where can I find you here?"
