Chapter 103: The Little Young Master Who Knows Taoist Techniques, Summoning Souls (2)
..
Under the gazes of the constables, Su Mu smiled faintly and said,
“I’ve been interested in Dao techniques since I was young and have cultivated for a few years.”
As he spoke, Su Mu made a hand seal and a stream of water vapor appeared out of thin air, lingering around his fingertips.
After circling around a few times, he pointed at a small stone on the ground.
The water vapor shot out with a whoosh and froze the small stone into an ice block!
Su Mu’s small display of strength left Zhang Shichong and the rest of the constables dumbstruck.
They obviously didn’t expect that this young master of a wealthy family had such ability!
After the shock, the constables looked at Su Mu with a completely different expression.
Su Mu’s bearing was extraordinary, he spoke and acted with propriety, not like a child.
At this moment, he revealed his ability to use a Dao technique.
If she treated him like an ordinary child again, her brain would not be working well.
Zhang Shichong sighed.
“I didn’t expect Young Master Su to have such methods at such a young age. That Kid in My Family Sigh, it’s fine if I don’t say it!
After seeing the change in the constables ‘attitudes, Su Mu took the opportunity to say:
“Constable Zhang, if you have any information, you can tell me.”
“I’ve been meditating for years, so I have some understanding of demons and ghosts.”
“Maybe it can provide you with some ideas to solve the case.”
Su Mu had no intention of revealing his cultivation.
However, if he didn’t show off, how could he get information from Zhang Shichong?
A constable would never reveal information about a case to a child.
Especially this case. The first thing they did was to seal the medicine shop. It was obvious that they wanted to block the news.
However, it was different for a child who knew Dao techniques!
Hearing Su Mu’s question, Zhang Shichong hesitated.
However, thinking about Su Mu’s performance and his record of defeating the demons, he revealed the information he had.
..
It turned out that this was no longer the first mummified corpse case in the town.
More than half a month ago, on the day when it rained in Yuntai Town, the first case of mummified corpses happened!
The one who died was a widower who lived alone.
Zhang Shichong was an old constable. He could tell at a glance that this death was not caused by a human!
After some investigation, they did not find any useful clues, let alone find the murderer.
He had no choice but to block the news first and then send someone to the Demon Suppression Bureau for help.
Lastly, increase manpower and patrol day and night.
However, the Demon Suppression and Demon Slayer didn’t have such a good request, and the temporary half would come and go.
Ordinary constables were not a threat to the fiendish demon, so patrolling was useless.
For the next half a month, the rain kept falling and people kept dying.
The demon’s second kill was seven days apart.
The third kill was five days apart.
The fourth kill was three days apart.
This was the fifth time, and there was no longer a gap.
Yesterday, a constable had died tragically in his home. He had been sucked dry and had lost all his vital energy and blood!
Yes, the deceased was an old constable and a third-rate martial artist.
Therefore, Zhang Shichong knew that ordinary third-rate martial artists could not stop the demon at all.
The worst thing was that the demon had committed another crime today!
There was no gap in the middle!
This gave Zhang Shichong an extremely ominous feeling.
The demon’s killing frequency was increasing.
If this continued, who knew what would happen?
..
After hearing this, Su Mu’s heart sank.
The continuous rain in Yuntai Town for more than half a month was suspected to be related to that demon!
If this was true, then it would be difficult to deal with!
A demon that could affect the weather was definitely a very terrifying existence!
It was just that the strange tentacles that he had just chased away were not very strong.
Could there be something hidden behind this?
Su Mu kept thinking, but he couldn’t think of a reason.
Zhang Shichong’s information was very limited, and he could not deduce the background of the demon.
“Young Master Su, what kind of demon do you think this is?”
Seeing Su Mu’s thoughtful expression, Zhang Shichong waited for a moment before finally asking.
Su Mu helplessly said:
“There’s too little information. However, I have a method that might allow me to obtain more useful information.”
“I can use the soul summoning technique to summon the souls of the Zhou father and daughter and ask them.”
Hearing this, the surrounding constables widened their eyes, revealing some fear and horror.
“Confess…Soul summoning? You know how to do this?”
Unknowingly, Zhang Shichong actually used honorifics to Su Mu.
In fact, Zhang Shichong’s strength was not weaker than Su Mu’s, and his chances of winning increased greatly after he got close.
However, in the eyes of most people, as long as it was related to ghosts and gods, they would be revered.
When they heard that Su Mu knew the Soul Summoning Technique, the constables who didn’t know much about Qi Refinement and Dao techniques changed their attitude towards him once again.
This time, it turned into reverence!
“Yes.”
“The Soul Summoning Technique is actually not a brilliant method.”
“My cultivation is shallow, and I can only recall the remnant souls of those who died within an hour.”
Su Mu didn’t put on airs and directly stated his ability.
..
After refining Qi, Su Mu had a deeper understanding of the soul of the person.
A complete person had three souls and seven spirits.
The three souls were Heaven, Earth, and Life, each with their own duties.
The seven spirits were joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire, and each had its own function.
However, some people’s three spirits were too weak to suppress the seven spirits.
Such people were often irritable and difficult to control their emotions or desires.
Other than the first time, there were also other problems.
In short, if the three souls and seven spirits were not coordinated, there would be problems.
There were big and small problems, and they were all different.
Although there were three souls and seven spirits, there were no legendary places like the underworld or the underworld in this world.
Reincarnation was one of the duties of the Heavenly Axiom.
After a person died, the three souls and seven spirits left the body and scattered into the world.
During the process of pregnancy, the fetus would automatically absorb the three souls and seven spirits that wandered between heaven and earth to form a new soul and a new life.
This process was a little like rain.
From the clouds to the rain, from the rain to the Qi, and from the Qi to the clouds, it was a continuous cycle.
This was reincarnation.
Therefore, there was no afterlife after death.
After his death, his three souls and seven spirits were scattered everywhere, and there was no longer this person.
For some lucky people, if two or three of their three souls and seven spirits came from the same body, they would obtain some memory fragments of their “previous life”.
However, it was only a few fragments of memories.
As for the situation where the three souls and seven spirits did not change at all and returned to the same body after going around in the world, it was not impossible, but the probability was so low that it could be ignored.
There might not even be one in a billion people.
Moreover, this kind of person had too many burdens on his shoulders. He could not tell the difference between his past life and present life, and often did not have a good ending.
..
Back to the present.
Madam Zhou and her daughter from the medicine shop had just died not long ago, so the situation of their souls being separated and scattered was not serious.
He could summon them back by using the Soul Summoning Technique.
Perhaps he could obtain some useful information!
Su Mu said.
He didn’t mess up the ritual. He took out a Soul Summoning Banner and used a Soul Summoning Spell.
A series of soul-summoning spells filled with a strange aura sounded.
Soon, a gust of cold wind blew in the backyard of the medicine shop.
In addition to the drizzle, Zhang Shichong and the others had goosebumps all over their bodies!
She didn’t know if it was because she was cold or because she was scared.
A moment later, two blurry shadows gradually appeared under the call of the Soul Summoning Spell, and they became clearer and clearer.
In the end, they turned into the appearance of the Zhou father and daughter!
This scene made the constables present gasp.
This young master of the Su family really knew how to summon souls!
