After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 359 The Lost Soul

He Lingchuan cut off the rope on his feet and lifted it back to the ground: "Guide the way, where should we go?"

"At the west end of the county, on the edge of Mochou Lake." Mr. Gan looked around, "Are we in the west of the county?"

There were only a few abandoned small huts here, not far from the center of the county, and He Lingchuan brought him here conveniently.

"Let's go, don't play tricks." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Your elder brother is right, this goddess is not a fun thing, and a fool like you will definitely suffer from dealing with it."

The two rode horses and headed west.

The slanting wind and drizzle along the way are the smell of early summer.

After walking along the official road, Mr. Gan guided him into the forest path.

"Where are you going?"

Not long after, the front opened up, and there was a small building on stilts halfway up the mountain, hidden by a bamboo forest.

Behind the building is a lake, which is probably the Mochou Lake mentioned by Mr. Gan.

Living in a cottage by the lake, listening to the rain on the bamboo sea, is supposed to be rich in artistic conception, but in the dark rainy night, the bamboo shadows whirling on the outer wall of this lonely small building, it looks like an evil ghost with its teeth and claws.

The small courtyard outside the building is only separated by a simple bamboo fence. The courtyard is full of flowers and there are three words on the simple bamboo door:

A quiet place to live.

He Lingchuan dismounted and pushed Mr. Gan forward. The latter could only shout:

"Is the goddess at home?"

There is no echo except the wind blowing and the trees shaking.

Gan Sanye could only call him two more times, and added the word "Excuse me".

"Squeak", the bamboo door opened by itself.

The two walked through the deserted courtyard and climbed up the bamboo ladder. He Lingchuan opened the door and saw that the furnishings in the room were very simple:

A table and a chair.

There was an oil lamp burning on the table and a bronze mirror with some patterns on the edge.

There was a middle-aged woman sitting on the chair.

She sat upright, her hands folded on her knees, and her eyes looked directly at the two guests who had just entered.

As soon as the door opened, the night wind blew in, suppressing the light of the oil lamp and making the woman's face look uncertain.

She had a pretty face and a somewhat plump figure. She looked no different from an ordinary woman. She looked at the two of them and smiled slightly:

"Why is Mr. Gan here in the middle of the night? Also, who is this?"

"Luo..." Gan Sanye found that his voice was hoarse after he said a word, so he had to cough twice, "Has Luo Xunyi been here?"

"I'm here to convey your last request." The goddess asked him, "What can I do?"

"I, I want to cancel the commission." Mr. Gan glanced at He Lingchuan and said, "Cancel immediately!"

"That's not a commission, but a request." The goddess's smile remained unchanged, "Sanye Gan has made three requests. If you want to cancel, it will be the fourth request. I'm sorry, I don't accept it."

"Hey! You can't do this." Gan Sanye hit a nail, his face turning pale.

"Are you the target person?" The goddess looked at He Lingchuan and slowly stood up, "I wanted to find you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come to the door yourself. Very, very good."

He Lingchuan grabbed Mr. Gan by the neck and squeezed him until he rolled his eyes: "If you don't cancel it, I will kill Mr. Gan. Doesn't it matter?"

"Since he has spoken, this request must be fulfilled." The goddess turned the mirror on the table, "Whether he lives or lives."

He Lingchuan was on full alert. At this moment, he subconsciously threw out two flying knives. One struck the goddess' throat, and the other hit the bronze mirror on the table.

After months of hard training, he finally mastered the essence and was able to do what Hu Min said, "Wherever his eyes go, his sword and arrow point."

However, a huge object rushed out of the mirror and blocked two flying knives.

This was a sharp-horned cow. It was almost as big as the buffalo demon that He Lingchuan saw in Zhao Pan's army when he got off the table. The horns were pointed forward, as if they had been specially polished.

Such a huge thing could actually be released in such a small mirror. The visual effect was so amazing that He Lingchuan was also shocked.

Stabbing it with two flying knives is like jabbing a toothpick at a human body. It will only increase pain and anger and will not be fatal.

So it lowered its head and rushed towards He Lingchuan and the two of them. Even Mr. Gan was within the attack range.

He Lingchuan had no choice but to jump up with Sanye Gan in his arms.

The giant bull rushed past the two of them, crashing into the door.

Before the two of them landed in the air, another knight suddenly rushed out of the bronze mirror, and he and his horse crashed into them.

He Lingchuan couldn't dodge while he was in mid-air, so he simply used Gan Sanye as a human shield in front of him.

Amidst Gan Sanye's long and frightened howl, there was a "bang" earthquake, and the two of them were knocked away together and broke out of the house.

Gan Sanye vomited blood as soon as he landed on the ground, while He Lingchuan somersaulted and landed on the flat ground outside the courtyard.

After landing, the knight turned around and continued to rush towards He Lingchuan. At this time, the second, third, and fourth knights also appeared. Apparently, things were still being sent out in a steady stream in the mirror.

What the hell, is there a whole cavalry hidden in there?

And in He Lingchuan's eyes, whether it was a giant bull or a knight, the whole body was filled with black energy, and there were several evil ghosts lying in the body.

Yes, the kind that used to be attached to tusked pigs.

It is obvious that these evil spirits control their every move, like puppets.

New things kept appearing in the mirror, such as fox wolves, birds, and even two hungry tigers, all of which were aiming at He Lingchuan.

Even if they can hide from the things on earth, they may not be able to hide from things in heaven.

The most terrible thing is that they surrounded the bamboo building and used it as a barrier to prevent He Lingchuan from approaching.

But at this moment, the goddess in the room suddenly felt a shadow flashing on the beam from the corner of her eye.

She was also alert, picked up the bronze mirror on the table and was about to retreat.

However, Liang Shangren had already pounced on him, his movements were faster than a swooping swallow. He was still in mid-air when the light of the sword had arrived.

The goddess and the mirror in her arms were cut in two!

It was He Lingchuan's clone who succeeded with one blow.

Just now, while holding Mr. Gan in front of him as a human shield, he also quietly summoned his clone and jumped on the beam. But at that time, the cavalrymen and their horses jumped high, blocking the view of the goddess behind them. She never saw another "He Lingchuan" become a gentleman in Liang Shang.

With monsters like this summoning his younger brother, He Lingchuan had known that to capture the thief, he had to capture the king first. If he didn't kill the boss, there would be an endless supply of little monsters and little monsters.

Sure enough, when the knife struck down, the goddess screamed and fell to the ground, and the mirror in her arms also cracked in half.

Crisp and neat.

She glared at He Lingchuan's clone, her face full of resentment: "You can't escape, you will soon die without a burial place!"

After saying that, his body turned into fly ash, leaving only two broken mirrors on the ground.

He Lingchuan grabbed the mirror and found that it had lost its effectiveness and was just a broken mirror.

Looking outside the house, the evil spirits entangled in the beasts and people had disappeared. Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and the air was stagnant.

But in the blink of an eye, the beasts dispersed, the birds flew into the sky, and even the two tigers jumped into the forest and disappeared.

The wind blows away the clouds.

The seven or eight knights looked around with confused expressions, as if they didn't know where they were.

Gan Sanye fell to the ground and started to curse when he saw He Lingchuan approaching. However, after just two curses, his chest became tight and he coughed several times before he could continue to curse.

The man who killed a thousand swords actually used him as a human shield.

He Lingchuan saw that although his face was covered with blood, he was still full of energy and seemed to be fine, so he mentioned that he had jumped into the crumbling bamboo building, pointed to the hall and asked him:

"The goddess turned into ashes after I chopped it off. Do you still have any disputes with it?" Otherwise, why would the dying monster still be so confident that He Lingchuan was about to die?

His grandfather's ominous words reminded him of the old turtle demon's prophecy.

"How do I know?" Gan Sanye replied, and then cursed. He Lingchuan took a rag from the next door room and blocked his mouth.

When he went out again, the horses were still in place. Even the horses and their riders didn't move much. The people on the horses seemed a little dull.

He Lingchuan walked over and asked, "Don't you have anywhere to go?"

Someone among them responded: "Where is this?"

"Fu Country, Wuze County. How could you be possessed by evil spirits?"

These people looked at each other, and it was the same person who just said: "We were doing official business, and suddenly we were taken advantage of by a monster. We don't seem to remember what happened after that."

Seeing their dull reaction, He Lingchuan couldn't help but frowned: "The evil ghost is gone, haven't you guys come to your senses yet?"

"For some reason, my mind is dizzy and it's hard to concentrate." The man thought for a while and then said, "Is our mission not completed yet?"

The companions nodded.

Facing these puppet-like living people, He Lingchuan felt helpless and wary: "Can you tell yourself your family status first?"

The goddess is dead, has the magical power that trapped these people not been eliminated?

These people didn't hide their secrets. You and I gave He Lingchuan a rough idea. This matter is also related to Sha Cong, the Taifu of Bejia National Treasure Tree King. His son Sha Xinghai has been absentminded since returning from Fu Kingdom.

After investigation, it was determined that Sha Xinghai had lost his entire soul.

The Taifu Mansion was shocked, so they sent this group of men to find out what was going on and make sure to find Mr. Sha's lost things.

These people searched all the way to the vicinity of Wuze County and met the goddess, but they themselves were also taken in.

During the time they were possessed by evil spirits, their memories were almost completely blank and they could not remember anything.

He Lingchuan looked at them and said, "Don't talk about Mr. Sha, I think you also seem to have lost your soul."

Why did he think that Sha Xinghai was the "distinguished guest" that Uncle Gan asked the goddess to deal with?

You see, he is also from the country of Bega. When the son of a dignified Taifu arrives in a small county town in the state of Fu, is there anything strange about using his nostrils to look at people?

The leader is called Wu Jinsong, and he himself said: "What he is saying is that we can move freely, and our reactions to the outside world are like being separated by a thick veil, and we cannot feel the joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. Even though this goddess is dead, the lost The soul has not come back. Could it be that it is hidden somewhere? "

Everyone said: "Look again by the lake."

In the middle of the night, He Lingchuan didn't intend to stay here to help them find souls, so he took Sanye Gan on his way back.

Wu Jinsong and others remembered to bow to him and thank him, and the two parties said goodbye.

He Lingchuan walked more than ten feet and turned back before entering the bamboo forest again. He saw that the fence had fallen down, the small building was half destroyed, and the bamboo door was lying on the ground.
