[Transmigration Book] The protagonist has changed!
Chapter 62 Breaking the Way
Shen Qingtang hugged Pei Nan a little tighter: "Brother, after paying so much, I finally... found you again."
Pei Nan was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't push Shen Qingtang away, allowing him to hug him for a long time. Seeing that Shen Qingtang didn't intend to let go, he sighed helplessly: "Okay, someone will come over later .”
Shen Qingtang's eye circles were still a little red, and she looked aggrieved, but she let go of her hand and stood obediently beside Pei Nan.
As Pei Nan walked back, Shen Qingtang silently followed. The two changed from side by side to one behind the other, and then back to side by side.
"When did you recognize it?" Pei Nan asked casually without stopping Shen Qingtang, who was leaning over at every turn.
Shen Qingtang pursed her lips, and her eyes became even more aggrieved: "When Xuanyun sent you to leave first..."
With a breath in his heart, Pei Nan was a little speechless: "Everyone who wants to abandon you is your brother?"
How could he not remember that he was so sinful.
As if he didn't expect Pei Nan to say this, and seemed to be afraid that Pei Nan would be angry, Shen Qingtang quickly waved his hands, his whole body was like a cat whose tail was pulled, and he looked at Pei Nan innocently: "No, I didn't say that brother wanted to lose Beat me! It's the trick you used when you broke the seal."
Only then did Pei Nan recall the scene at that time.
The enchantment in the Lingfu is the most commonly used enchantment of the Xuanyun School, and as the senior brother of the Xuanyun School, Pei Nan naturally uses it the most.
The more you use it, the more tricks you can think of. Over time, Pei Nan came up with a lazy method. Although the effect seems to be exactly the same as the method used by Xuanyun sect disciples to break the seal, the formula is much simpler.
He once mentioned something to Shen Qingtang, but he didn't expect Shen Qingtang to remember it until now.
Pei Nan felt speechless.
If you die by yourself, you can only watch it go on all the way.
Probably seeing that Pei Nan's expression was not happy, Shen Qingtang moved to Pei Nan's side obediently: "Senior brother, don't be angry, I will never do anything to make senior brother unhappy again, and I will not force you to Brother, are we okay with this?"
shall we be like this?
Shen Qingtang's expression was very serious, as if there were two clusters of small flames in his eyes, whether they burned or extinguished depended on Pei Nan's answer.
Pei Nan was dazed for a moment.
He hadn't seen Shen Qingtang's expression like this for a long time. The last time he saw it, Shen Qingtang was still the young man who was playing around with him in his previous life.
The young man was naughty, and when he did something bad, he always had this expression to ask him for forgiveness. Pei Nan forgives him for being young and sensible, so he never scolded him.
It was also because of this expression that Pei Nan did not notice the change in Shen Qingtang's temperament until his death in his previous life.
Seeing it now seems like yesterday.
Pei Nan suddenly understood where the depression and boredom in his heart came from, and where the various emotions towards Shen Qingtang came from. He felt disappointed, puzzled, and hated. It was only when he was calm today that he realized that he was actually In his heart, he had already made a prison for Shen Qingtang.
He once created this character with his own hands, and he thinks he knows every move of this character, from head to toe.
However, this character did not grow according to his established route, but developed freely and uncontrollably.
He is no longer the protagonist in the book, nor is he the character Pei Nan wants.
Therefore, in the second life, it can be cruelly discarded.
But in this world, Shen Qingtang will never know where he came from and where he is going. He was innocently taken care of by Pei Nan, and in the second life he was even more innocently looked down upon by Pei Nan .
He has become a living person who can laugh and hurt.
A person's growth is always innocent.
It was only at the end of the world, at the very end of the world, that Pei Nan finally understood this truth.
Maybe the outsider is him, and he should adapt to the rules of this world instead of using the rules he made to forcibly change the world.
Pei Nan stopped in his tracks, and looked carefully at Shen Qingtang in front of him.
After such a long time, this is the first time that he has watched Shen Qingtang carefully from beginning to end.
He used to feel that he was very familiar with Shen Qingtang, the shape of his eyes, the shape of his lips, and the shape of his eyebrows.
But after such a long time, he realized that Shen Qingtang's eyes are bright when he smiles, light and innocent; tight.
At this moment, Shen Qingtang looked at him with some trepidation, his eyes were full of uncertainty and sourness.
Along the way, Shen Qingtang suffered a lot, but the obsession in his heart never changed. He approached Pei Nan bit by bit, and finally he was able to stand steadily beside Pei Nan.
Pei Nan subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Shen Qingtang's hair, but found that the former child had grown taller than him, and he had to raise his hand to touch it.
But still obedient.
Although maybe just in front of myself.
Pei Nan put down his hands, smiled slightly, looked up at Shen Qingtang in front of him, and said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Don't force me anymore?"
Shen Qingtang looked at Pei Nan firmly, bit her lower lip: "En."
"Just want to be my junior?"
"……kindness."
"But I am no longer a member of the Xuanyun sect, and I have cultivated in a different way from you. How can I say that I am a brother?" Pei Nan's tone was indifferent, and he looked at Shen Qingtang peacefully with his eyes. Blame, but there is no other redundant affection.
As soon as this remark came out, the rare warmth between the two just now was completely shattered.
Bloody scrape off the top layer of skin used to cover, revealing the embarrassing and ugly wound below.
Shen Qingtang looked pale as if struck by lightning, he took a step back trembling, and looked at Pei Nan with disbelief in his eyes: "...Brother, do you dislike me for being with living souls?"
Pei Nan's heart was silent, all his emotions had been stripped away with the great accomplishment of his mind, and he didn't feel any emotional pain, but seeing Shen Qingtang so sad, he still felt empty in his heart.
——That's right, Shen Qingtang went to the underworld to find him, and was punished for various crimes, and finally returned with resentment.
——But now I can only get disgusted.
Pei Nan's face was as calm as usual. He stood there looking at Shen Qingtang in front of him, and said word by word: "A Tang, you and I have been entangled so far. What you said today and what you did in the past are all wiped out."
"However, although I have left Xuanyun, my foundation is still there. I, Pei Nan, have been upright all my life, and I definitely don't want to have a junior like you who slaves and controls ghosts."
On the top of the moon, the pale moonlight passed through the branches, reflecting mottledly on the ground, separating Shen Qingtang and Pei Nanzhong, like a distant and insurmountable obstacle.
Shen Qingtang clenched his hands tightly, his nails dug into the flesh fiercely, and the bright red blood soon flowed down bit by bit along the gap between his fingers, dripping on the ground, changing from fresh to dry, and finally to a solidified Mark of.
"...Is it..." Shen Qingtang's voice seemed to be about to cry, his eyes were red, he looked at Pei Nan firmly, and choked up, "Is it true that I have abolished the way of ghosts, so the senior brother is willing to be with you?" I'm with you?"
Pei Nan waited for his words.
As long as Shen Qingtang's ghost way is abolished, there will be no more lethality, and the task will naturally be completed, and he will be able to go back.
Based on Pei Nan's understanding of Shen Qingtang, he naturally wouldn't say this in person. What he did before was to induce Shen Qingtang to say this willingly in order to keep him.
but.
But now hearing Shen Qingtang, Pei Nan didn't feel any joy.
Just calm.
Calm and empty.
Pei Nan didn't speak, and there was silence between the two of them again.
Shen Qingtang seemed to be unable to stand steadily, he staggered and crouched against the tree behind him.Turning around, he spoke in a low voice, as if he was muttering to himself, and as if he wanted to tell Pei Nan like a child: "But, I can no longer form alchemy. If the way of ghosts is abolished, brother, I will never again." I can't protect you anymore—"
Looking back in time, Pei Nan suddenly remembered that in his previous life, when he brought Shen Qingtang into the inner courtyard of the Xuanyun Sect and taught him the first set of mental techniques, the young Shen Qingtang patted his chest and told him: "Senior brother, I must practice hard. Everything will stand in front of you in the future! Even if I die, the body will definitely protect you."
Now, the boy at that time told him with red eyes.
Brother, am I about to lose your protection...
Pei Nan has always felt that after the completion of "Quiet Judgment", all emotions will be stripped away, and nothing will affect his judgment, let alone make him sad or happy.
But there is always no such perfect good thing in this world. It's like after removing all emotions, the original container used to store emotions suddenly becomes empty, which makes people not used to it.
Maybe it's just that the time is too short, but after a long time...you will always get used to it.
Pei Nan closed his eyes, and looked up at Shen Qingtang. He buried his head in his arms, looking a little pitiful.
For a moment, Pei Nan felt that his heart had softened.
He wanted to tell Shen Qingtang in a very short time: Alright, I will stay with you.
Although people are not grass and trees, Shen Qingtang probably had bad luck and always ran into him, a ruthless person.
Pei Nan looked away, coughed lowly, confirmed that he could speak as usual, and said indifferently: "The ghost way hurts oneself and others, and is despised by the righteous way. Naturally, I don't want you to practice. Now my status It is stable, and it has no intention of harming others, and it does not need protection."
"You decide for yourself."
Pei Nan said the last sentence with a firm voice, and stopped looking at Shen Qingtang, turned around and left.
Shen Qingtang didn't follow up, he was still squatting there, his body trembling a little, the bleak moonlight shone on his body, making him look cold and thin.
The day of Li Zhuo's summoning of souls was finally determined.
At the third quarter of Yin time, the door of the spirit hall and the side door of the side room were opened at the same time, and the large array spread among the plane trees was withdrawn at the same time.
Without the suppression of the large formation, the living souls that had been suppressed for several years in the Spirit Hall suddenly lost control, recalling in the night sky with a hoarse scream.
Hundreds of living souls were trapped in the Hall of Spirits. Once they were freed today, they naturally wanted to rush out of the Hall of Spirits, but they never expected that when they arrived at the gate of the Hall of Spirits, they happened to meet Shen Qingtang.
Most of the living souls imprisoned here were demon cultivators, and even more were killed by Si Yao, all of whom died tragically, and none of them had seen Shen Qingtang's appearance.
The living souls who died tragically had a lot of resentment towards the people in the world, and there were so many of them, so they were naturally not afraid, screaming and rushing to devour Shen Qingtang.
The corners of Shen Qingtang's eyes were full of evil spirits, and he held a rusty lamp that was flickering in his hand, the shadow of the lamp flickered, making him look very strange.
He walked straight into the hall, but the living souls that were coming towards him suddenly stopped at a place very close to him, as if after a very short thought, and then screamed and fled in all directions.
The place is vast, but no living soul is heading towards the exit of the Spirit Hall.
As Shen Qingtang stood still in the hall, the scene behind him was clearly seen.
At the time of Yin, the Yin energy in the world is the heaviest, and the soul can appear in the shape of the previous life.
What came in with Shen Qingtang was the ghostly soul that he brought out from the eighteenth floor of the underworld, blood-stained and white bones, as if he had just crawled out of hell.
Since the day we parted, Pei Nan closed the door and never saw any guests.
And today, I came here with Si Yao just to see Shen Qingtang.
If it still doesn't work today... Pei Nan sighed in his heart, he has tried several times, even the excitement and joy have faded away, and he just feels extremely tired.
Shen Qingtang pressed the living soul who had been locked in the palace in a corner, and the screams of the living soul were even more sinister and frightening, appearing eerie and terrifying in the silent midnight.
The altar and the spiritual table that were originally in the side room are now all transferred to the main hall, and they are placed in the right place, the ever-burning lamp is not extinguished, and the spiritual tablet is covered with soul-attracting charms drawn with blood, just waiting for the matching spell Recite export.
On the long table behind the spirit tablet were Li Zhuo's clothes from before his death. They were very plain clothes without any patterns on them, but they were very carefully preserved. I don't know where Si Yao got them.
Pei Nan looked at Si Yao at the side. For the first time, there was no smile on Si Yao's face, and he looked quiet. His eyes were focused on the wick of the ever-burning lamp in front of the tablet, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not finding someone to talk to, Pei Nan turned his eyes back, but the moment he looked back, he accidentally saw Shen Qingtang.
The two looked at each other, and Shen Qingtang paused for a moment in the movement of his hands, and all of them looked away first.
——This kid is getting more and more rude...
Pei Nan stood in the same place depressed, because it was inconvenient to publicize the serious matter, so there were three people in the room including him at this time, and the other two obviously didn't want to talk to him.
Pei Nan had been precious all his life, and it was the first time that he was not welcomed by others, so he walked away silently.
Soon, besides the ever-burning lamp, another strange-looking lamp was placed in front of the spirit tablet.
Pei Nan stared at the lamp for a while, and soon recognized that it was the "soul-attracting lamp" that Shen Qingtang used to recruit his former soul.
I haven't seen it for a long time, but it came in handy here again.
Since he hadn't seen the effect himself, Pei Nan had always been very skeptical about whether this "soul-attracting lamp" would work. At this time, when he saw Shen Qingtang taking it out again, he couldn't help but take a second look.
The art of summoning souls, like other methods, pays attention to the right time, place and people.
In addition, there is also a word "love".
Whether the summoning of the soul is successful depends on whether the summoned soul still has nostalgia for the world, whether there is reluctance, and whether there is still emotion for the person who summoned him.
More importantly, whether the recruited soul still has its own consciousness.
The soul to be summoned must first wander in the world, secondly it must be felt, and finally it will be seen whether he is willing to be summoned.
"Hei Ying" never told Shen Qingtang his name, and Shen Qingtang naturally didn't bother to ask. Although he asked about it later, "Hei Ying" never admitted it.
If "Black Shadow" is Li Zhuo, he was refined to become Shen Qingtang's puppet, but he still has his own consciousness.
He has always been reluctant to see Si Yao, and never showed up. With Si Yao's personality, he can't bear to see the person he misses, so he naturally asked Shen Qingtang to drive Li Zhuo's soul out of the "black shadow" shell. Shout to see each other.
Shen Qingtang has thousands of ghost soldiers in his hands. Although "Black Shadow" is very useful, he naturally doesn't care about the loss of a puppet. Since it can be used to sell Si Yao's favor, why not do it.
The time has come, and as Shen Qingtang uttered the heart formula in a low voice, the dark wind blew in from outside the door, blowing up the talisman paper on the spirit card, and sprinkled it all over the sky.
Almost at the same time, the "soul-inducing lamp" suddenly lit up, and the faint light gradually turned from dark to bright, even overwhelming the ever-burning lamp made of human skin.
Shen Qingtang pinched a formula in his hand, and recited it a few times in a low voice.
The flame of the wick of the "soul-guiding lamp" began to flicker again, becoming more and more erratic, followed by the tearing screams of the living souls suppressed here in the spirit hall, as if they were suffering from great pain and struggle. The sound was ordinary, resounding through the long night.
Hearing that, Pei Nan was terrified, and took another step back.
After a while, the screams finally subsided, the flames returned to normal, and the surroundings seemed extraordinarily quiet.
Shen Qingtang's brows were extremely gloomy, his body was full of evil spirits, and he didn't have the slightest appearance of his usual youth in front of Pei Nan.
He put a piece of talisman on the spirit card again, then turned around and said to Si Yao in a very low voice: "Shout the soul."
Calling the soul is the most important step in the art of summoning the soul. After confirming that the conditions are met and the living soul is still there, the soul caller can whisper the name of the living soul when he was alive to call the soul back.
Si Yao seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then walked forward. He opened his mouth, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and said two words in a shy voice: "Li Zhuo."
The wick of the "Soul Lamp" did not move, and it was very quiet.
"Call again." Shen Qingtang frowned slightly, and moved back a little.
Si Yao walked into the tablet, his facial features were already pretty, and under the light, he looked even ghostly. He looked at the tablet for a long time, and then shouted again: "Li Zhuo."
"Li Zhuo."
I don't know how many times I shouted, Si Yao seemed to lose his patience, he suddenly reached out and slammed the table in front of the spirit card, and his voice raised a lot: "Li Zhuo—!"
But as soon as the sound came out, the "Soul Lamp" miraculously had a different reaction.
The flame of the lamp suddenly rose up, as if a shot of hot oil had been added, and it was beating and refusing to calm down.
Shen Qingtang narrowed her eyebrows: "Here we come."
Light up the soul lamp, and the soul will return.
Shen Qingtang was about to control the soul, but the talisman paper on the spirit card burned automatically, and soon the talisman paper burned out.
What's even more strange is that the moment the talisman was burned out, the spirit card fell over, and the unextinguished flame swallowed and ignited the fire letter and burned to Li Zhuo's clothes that were placed behind the spirit card.
"No—" Si Yao looked flustered, he almost didn't care whether his hands would be burned, so he rushed to grab those clothes as he scrambled the way.
Almost at the same time, the brilliance of the "soul-guiding lamp" just seemed to be a flash in the pan, and it returned to the original tepid state in an instant.
Shen Qingtang was silent for a moment, looking at Si Yao who was standing aside with his clothes in a daze.
"He doesn't want to see you."
Si Yao seemed to have heard some shocking deception, he turned around and stared at Shen Qingtang: "How could Li Zhuo not want to see me!"
Shen Qingtang put away the things one by one, and his innocent expression returned to his face. He even smiled at Si Yao in a good mood: "How can he want to see you if you feel sorry for him like that?"
Pei Nan seemed to have watched a huge farce. Now that the farce was over, it left a scene that was difficult to clean up.
It makes people feel a little sad.
But at this time, Shen Qingtang walked up to Pei Nan in a clear and refreshing manner, and smiled at Pei Nan.
Pei Nan looked up at him.
Shen Qingtang stretched out her hand and hugged Pei Nan skillfully into her arms, and the two cuddled together like a pair of mandarin ducks crossing their necks.
"Senior brother, I am willing to abolish the ghost way, you can stay with me."
Pei Nan was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't push Shen Qingtang away, allowing him to hug him for a long time. Seeing that Shen Qingtang didn't intend to let go, he sighed helplessly: "Okay, someone will come over later .”
Shen Qingtang's eye circles were still a little red, and she looked aggrieved, but she let go of her hand and stood obediently beside Pei Nan.
As Pei Nan walked back, Shen Qingtang silently followed. The two changed from side by side to one behind the other, and then back to side by side.
"When did you recognize it?" Pei Nan asked casually without stopping Shen Qingtang, who was leaning over at every turn.
Shen Qingtang pursed her lips, and her eyes became even more aggrieved: "When Xuanyun sent you to leave first..."
With a breath in his heart, Pei Nan was a little speechless: "Everyone who wants to abandon you is your brother?"
How could he not remember that he was so sinful.
As if he didn't expect Pei Nan to say this, and seemed to be afraid that Pei Nan would be angry, Shen Qingtang quickly waved his hands, his whole body was like a cat whose tail was pulled, and he looked at Pei Nan innocently: "No, I didn't say that brother wanted to lose Beat me! It's the trick you used when you broke the seal."
Only then did Pei Nan recall the scene at that time.
The enchantment in the Lingfu is the most commonly used enchantment of the Xuanyun School, and as the senior brother of the Xuanyun School, Pei Nan naturally uses it the most.
The more you use it, the more tricks you can think of. Over time, Pei Nan came up with a lazy method. Although the effect seems to be exactly the same as the method used by Xuanyun sect disciples to break the seal, the formula is much simpler.
He once mentioned something to Shen Qingtang, but he didn't expect Shen Qingtang to remember it until now.
Pei Nan felt speechless.
If you die by yourself, you can only watch it go on all the way.
Probably seeing that Pei Nan's expression was not happy, Shen Qingtang moved to Pei Nan's side obediently: "Senior brother, don't be angry, I will never do anything to make senior brother unhappy again, and I will not force you to Brother, are we okay with this?"
shall we be like this?
Shen Qingtang's expression was very serious, as if there were two clusters of small flames in his eyes, whether they burned or extinguished depended on Pei Nan's answer.
Pei Nan was dazed for a moment.
He hadn't seen Shen Qingtang's expression like this for a long time. The last time he saw it, Shen Qingtang was still the young man who was playing around with him in his previous life.
The young man was naughty, and when he did something bad, he always had this expression to ask him for forgiveness. Pei Nan forgives him for being young and sensible, so he never scolded him.
It was also because of this expression that Pei Nan did not notice the change in Shen Qingtang's temperament until his death in his previous life.
Seeing it now seems like yesterday.
Pei Nan suddenly understood where the depression and boredom in his heart came from, and where the various emotions towards Shen Qingtang came from. He felt disappointed, puzzled, and hated. It was only when he was calm today that he realized that he was actually In his heart, he had already made a prison for Shen Qingtang.
He once created this character with his own hands, and he thinks he knows every move of this character, from head to toe.
However, this character did not grow according to his established route, but developed freely and uncontrollably.
He is no longer the protagonist in the book, nor is he the character Pei Nan wants.
Therefore, in the second life, it can be cruelly discarded.
But in this world, Shen Qingtang will never know where he came from and where he is going. He was innocently taken care of by Pei Nan, and in the second life he was even more innocently looked down upon by Pei Nan .
He has become a living person who can laugh and hurt.
A person's growth is always innocent.
It was only at the end of the world, at the very end of the world, that Pei Nan finally understood this truth.

Pei Nan subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Shen Qingtang's hair, but found that the former child had grown taller than him, and he had to raise his hand to touch it.
But still obedient.

Pei Nan put down his hands, smiled slightly, looked up at Shen Qingtang in front of him, and said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Don't force me anymore?"
Shen Qingtang looked at Pei Nan firmly, bit her lower lip: "En."

Pei Nan's heart was silent, all his emotions had been stripped away with the great accomplishment of his mind, and he didn't feel any emotional pain, but seeing Shen Qingtang so sad, he still felt empty in his heart.

The day of Li Zhuo's summoning of souls was finally determined.
At the third quarter of Yin time, the door of the spirit hall and the side door of the side room were opened at the same time, and the large array spread among the plane trees was withdrawn at the same time.

The living souls who died tragically had a lot of resentment towards the people in the world, and there were so many of them, so they were naturally not afraid, screaming and rushing to devour Shen Qingtang.

If it still doesn't work today... Pei Nan sighed in his heart, he has tried several times, even the excitement and joy have faded away, and he just feels extremely tired.
Shen Qingtang pressed the living soul who had been locked in the palace in a corner, and the screams of the living soul were even more sinister and frightening, appearing eerie and terrifying in the silent midnight.
The altar and the spiritual table that were originally in the side room are now all transferred to the main hall, and they are placed in the right place, the ever-burning lamp is not extinguished, and the spiritual tablet is covered with soul-attracting charms drawn with blood, just waiting for the matching spell Recite export.
On the long table behind the spirit tablet were Li Zhuo's clothes from before his death. They were very plain clothes without any patterns on them, but they were very carefully preserved. I don't know where Si Yao got them.
Pei Nan looked at Si Yao at the side. For the first time, there was no smile on Si Yao's face, and he looked quiet. His eyes were focused on the wick of the ever-burning lamp in front of the tablet, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not finding someone to talk to, Pei Nan turned his eyes back, but the moment he looked back, he accidentally saw Shen Qingtang.
The two looked at each other, and Shen Qingtang paused for a moment in the movement of his hands, and all of them looked away first.
——This kid is getting more and more rude...
Pei Nan stood in the same place depressed, because it was inconvenient to publicize the serious matter, so there were three people in the room including him at this time, and the other two obviously didn't want to talk to him.
Pei Nan had been precious all his life, and it was the first time that he was not welcomed by others, so he walked away silently.
Soon, besides the ever-burning lamp, another strange-looking lamp was placed in front of the spirit tablet.
Pei Nan stared at the lamp for a while, and soon recognized that it was the "soul-attracting lamp" that Shen Qingtang used to recruit his former soul.
I haven't seen it for a long time, but it came in handy here again.
Since he hadn't seen the effect himself, Pei Nan had always been very skeptical about whether this "soul-attracting lamp" would work. At this time, when he saw Shen Qingtang taking it out again, he couldn't help but take a second look.
The art of summoning souls, like other methods, pays attention to the right time, place and people.
In addition, there is also a word "love".
Whether the summoning of the soul is successful depends on whether the summoned soul still has nostalgia for the world, whether there is reluctance, and whether there is still emotion for the person who summoned him.
More importantly, whether the recruited soul still has its own consciousness.
The soul to be summoned must first wander in the world, secondly it must be felt, and finally it will be seen whether he is willing to be summoned.
"Hei Ying" never told Shen Qingtang his name, and Shen Qingtang naturally didn't bother to ask. Although he asked about it later, "Hei Ying" never admitted it.
If "Black Shadow" is Li Zhuo, he was refined to become Shen Qingtang's puppet, but he still has his own consciousness.
He has always been reluctant to see Si Yao, and never showed up. With Si Yao's personality, he can't bear to see the person he misses, so he naturally asked Shen Qingtang to drive Li Zhuo's soul out of the "black shadow" shell. Shout to see each other.
Shen Qingtang has thousands of ghost soldiers in his hands. Although "Black Shadow" is very useful, he naturally doesn't care about the loss of a puppet. Since it can be used to sell Si Yao's favor, why not do it.
The time has come, and as Shen Qingtang uttered the heart formula in a low voice, the dark wind blew in from outside the door, blowing up the talisman paper on the spirit card, and sprinkled it all over the sky.
Almost at the same time, the "soul-inducing lamp" suddenly lit up, and the faint light gradually turned from dark to bright, even overwhelming the ever-burning lamp made of human skin.
Shen Qingtang pinched a formula in his hand, and recited it a few times in a low voice.
The flame of the wick of the "soul-guiding lamp" began to flicker again, becoming more and more erratic, followed by the tearing screams of the living souls suppressed here in the spirit hall, as if they were suffering from great pain and struggle. The sound was ordinary, resounding through the long night.
Hearing that, Pei Nan was terrified, and took another step back.
After a while, the screams finally subsided, the flames returned to normal, and the surroundings seemed extraordinarily quiet.
Shen Qingtang's brows were extremely gloomy, his body was full of evil spirits, and he didn't have the slightest appearance of his usual youth in front of Pei Nan.
He put a piece of talisman on the spirit card again, then turned around and said to Si Yao in a very low voice: "Shout the soul."
Calling the soul is the most important step in the art of summoning the soul. After confirming that the conditions are met and the living soul is still there, the soul caller can whisper the name of the living soul when he was alive to call the soul back.
Si Yao seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then walked forward. He opened his mouth, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and said two words in a shy voice: "Li Zhuo."
The wick of the "Soul Lamp" did not move, and it was very quiet.
"Call again." Shen Qingtang frowned slightly, and moved back a little.
Si Yao walked into the tablet, his facial features were already pretty, and under the light, he looked even ghostly. He looked at the tablet for a long time, and then shouted again: "Li Zhuo."
"Li Zhuo."
I don't know how many times I shouted, Si Yao seemed to lose his patience, he suddenly reached out and slammed the table in front of the spirit card, and his voice raised a lot: "Li Zhuo—!"
But as soon as the sound came out, the "Soul Lamp" miraculously had a different reaction.
The flame of the lamp suddenly rose up, as if a shot of hot oil had been added, and it was beating and refusing to calm down.
Shen Qingtang narrowed her eyebrows: "Here we come."
Light up the soul lamp, and the soul will return.
Shen Qingtang was about to control the soul, but the talisman paper on the spirit card burned automatically, and soon the talisman paper burned out.
What's even more strange is that the moment the talisman was burned out, the spirit card fell over, and the unextinguished flame swallowed and ignited the fire letter and burned to Li Zhuo's clothes that were placed behind the spirit card.
"No—" Si Yao looked flustered, he almost didn't care whether his hands would be burned, so he rushed to grab those clothes as he scrambled the way.
Almost at the same time, the brilliance of the "soul-guiding lamp" just seemed to be a flash in the pan, and it returned to the original tepid state in an instant.
Shen Qingtang was silent for a moment, looking at Si Yao who was standing aside with his clothes in a daze.
"He doesn't want to see you."
Si Yao seemed to have heard some shocking deception, he turned around and stared at Shen Qingtang: "How could Li Zhuo not want to see me!"
Shen Qingtang put away the things one by one, and his innocent expression returned to his face. He even smiled at Si Yao in a good mood: "How can he want to see you if you feel sorry for him like that?"
Pei Nan seemed to have watched a huge farce. Now that the farce was over, it left a scene that was difficult to clean up.
It makes people feel a little sad.
But at this time, Shen Qingtang walked up to Pei Nan in a clear and refreshing manner, and smiled at Pei Nan.
Pei Nan looked up at him.
Shen Qingtang stretched out her hand and hugged Pei Nan skillfully into her arms, and the two cuddled together like a pair of mandarin ducks crossing their necks.
"Senior brother, I am willing to abolish the ghost way, you can stay with me."
