Chapter 19: Summoning the Soul (Part 2) Today's first update is here!

  Ye furrowed his brow, the red thread in his hand had only a hint of warmth, and the surrounding red threads that wrapped around the flame were also somewhat dimmer than usual. That flame was the life force of a soul in the mortal world. It could be said that the deceased spirit possessing Yang Guang's body was already at the stage of imminent collapse.

  "What about your eldest son?" Ye Yatou asked directly.

  "It's gone, blown away by the wind."

  Ye Yi frowned again, but immediately relaxed and said: "It seems that it's because of Yang Guang, I didn't expect to make a mistake."

  He paused for a moment, and Ye Yiqiu asked: "Why not earlier or later, but today? Is today...?"

  "More than 20 years ago, he left." said Yang's uncle in a low and mournful tone.

  Ye Yi finally figured it out, his deceased brother had been lingering around their mother all along, and it was likely that his father's death was directly related to him. However, after his father's death, he discovered this and had been lingering around his mother to protect her. Normally, there wouldn't be a problem, but today, due to Ye Yi's impulsiveness and the ring, his deceased brother borrowed the powerful strength of Luo Chen and instantly tore apart the protection around his mother, wanting to harm her. At the same time, his father's spirit appeared, and as for what kind of struggle occurred between the spirits, it was unclear for the moment, but Ye Yi could see that Yang Bo's soul fire was weak, almost extinguished. In any case, whether it was protection or harm, these two obsessions were not superior or inferior to each other, only differing in strength.

  It seems that Mr. Yang has a slight upper hand. Just a slight one.

  "Would you like me to see you off?"

  "Never mind, when a person dies it's like a lamp going out, I should have died long ago. It's good to live one lifetime, don't make the next one so long. Let me go now. I know you're a capable person, please take care of my wife and son for me. If possible, apologize to Yang Guang's mother on my behalf."

  "I can."

  "I'm relieved then. I'll leave, I've taken up too much of his time, I'm afraid I might hurt Yang Guang. Leaving, leaving." The voice slowly faded away, and then I woke up.

  After Ye Yiyi told me, I didn't have much of a reaction. To be honest, my father passed away too long ago, and as his child, my feelings towards him have decreased greatly. In my memory, my mother was everything to me. When I looked at the yellow paper bowl with the eight characters of my birthdate in front of me again, the words on the yellow paper were not what Ye Yiyi said they were.

  But I believe Ye Yi's words.

  That's all.

  "Is the problem solved now?"

  Yi Dao said: "No, the black seal on Yintang is still there, which is also what I'm worried about. I'm worried that your brother is still around, only temporarily scattered his spiritual body."

  As soon as Ye saw me, he looked a bit bewildered and explained to me: "People who truly believe in Buddhism usually have a kind of blessing from their thoughts. What we're talking about is the protection of the Buddha. Normal illnesses can't be avoided, but it's hard for this kind of dirty thing to get close. However, you've recently come into contact with many things that ordinary people shouldn't touch, and the protective amulet your aunt gave you is wasting this power. Although it can be constantly replenished, it's not inexhaustible... Hmm, in games, there's a term called 'highest defense limit'. When faced with irresistible force, one's defenses will be broken. The result is that Auntie will get hurt. I admit that I previously said something incorrect - I always thought that the industry we're in contact with wouldn't have anything too powerful appear, and even if it did, relying on my abilities and sufficient preparation, we wouldn't face too great a threat. But this time, I have to say, you were reckless."

  I understand the meaning of Yiyi's words, this time it was indeed my recklessness, both Yiyi and Mr. Taiyi were so cautious, but I relied on my half-baked knowledge, plus the blessing of the protective amulet given by my mother, thinking that I could be invincible, which is the root of all evil. At this moment, the light of the surrounding candles had already become weaker and weaker.

  "Your father is leaving."

  Although I couldn't see him, I could feel a faint atmosphere of farewell.

  I stood in the somewhat empty living room and said softly: "Dad, take care."

  Yeh walked over, removed the red thread from my body and patted me on the shoulder: "Karma is actually best dissipated. It's more open-minded than reincarnation. Uncle Yang is a truly wise person."

  I smiled wryly, only to find that my smile was filled with a bitter taste. Hehe, it turns out I'm not as estranged from Father as I thought.

  Cleaned up the living room a bit, leaving only that bowl of water for mother on the dinner table, Ye started to get busy.

  He took out a stack of yellow paper, and with a small knife, cut open a small hole on the crown of the Five-Flower General Chicken. With a brush dipped in chicken blood, he continuously painted on the yellow paper. In my opinion, it's not much stronger than the messy Taoist symbols that Dog Paw crawled out of.

  After finishing drawing, Ye asked me if I had transparent tape.

  I hurriedly found some for him, helped him tear off his footprints, and helped him stick various yellow papers randomly in my home.

  "Dude, are you planning on performing some kind of ritual? What's with all this stuff?"

  Ye Yidao said, "This time something is strange, I'm afraid your brother will come out and harm people again. After Auntie drinks that bowl of water, we'll deal with your brother tonight."

  Because I didn't have any feelings for that brother who died before we even met, especially since this time he actually wanted to harm my mother, so I smiled and said: "Look at you gritting your teeth, what method are you planning to use to get rid of it?"

  Yi Dao said: "I plan to trap him and then eliminate him."

  I said, "You also saw that the soul-summoning spell didn't work. Is there another way? I remember that in 'The Great Yi of Divination', it says that after a person's soul is scattered, it takes seven days to fully condense back."

  Yey said: "That refers to normal times, we can help him condense."

  "What should I do?"

  "Usually where it's scattered, that's where we need to slowly recover. We'll go help it condense tonight. This kind of evil spirit can't be reasoned with, when encountered, just eliminate it." He said this with a face full of killing intent: "Later, let's go to the flower and bird market, buy a bird. Then go to the suburbs to get some wheat straw."

  "I wonder: 'What do you plan to do?'"

  "Get rid of it! What else can you do? You'll know when the time comes."

  After we finished decorating, the door of our mother's room also opened. Seeing us sticking yellow paper strips all over the house, my mom smiled and said: "These two kids are so mischievous."

  Seeing the old mother's complexion changed for the better, I hastily said: "It's not a waste of breath, doing some insurance things. Old mom, don't go out for the next few days. Oh, drink two mouthfuls of that bowl of water on the table."

  The old mother held the red thread in her hand and said, "Your grandfather used to do this too. As long as the person wrapped around the thread falls asleep, it won't take long. I didn't think that after so many years, there would still be people doing this."

  Mom said, putting the thread on the table, picked up that bowl of water and took two sips, saying: "Sour?" After finishing, Mom smiled and said: "It seems that there is nothing to harm me, look at you being so nervous."

  Yi and I just agreed not to tell Mom that Dad is the one who summoned the soul for now. Moreover, when Mom said "water acid", Yi winked at me, implying that she knows more than I do. I smiled awkwardly and didn't bother responding to him.

  "After finishing all these, mother said: 'Yi Ye, what do you want to eat for dinner tonight? Auntie will cook it for you.'"

  Yeyizhe also didn't stand on ceremony, smiling and saying "Auntie, I'd like another bowl of congee."

  "Alright, I'll cook it for you in a little while."

  What kind of face shape do women have the best luck in this life?

  1. Round face (adds points to interpersonal relationships and wealth);

  2. Full chin (may own more than two houses);

  3. Big buttocks (representing good fortune);

  4. Legs can't be thin (long legs and thin feet, always on the go, a hardworking appearance);

  5. Small belly with fat (a symbol of good fortune and longevity).
