The protagonists have golden fingers

Soul arrest was a spell specially developed by the Xie family to make the puppets more flexible when they were making puppets. At first, it was only used on flowers and animals to capture their souls and seal them in the puppets.

But later, someone discovered that using the soul of a living person as a spirit seal, the puppets produced are more agile and lifelike.

The head of the Xie family at the time, in order to guard against those who wanted to use this spell to tarnish the reputation of the Xie family, immediately ordered that it be regarded as a forbidden spell, no matter who it was, it was not allowed to use it.

At the beginning, this order spread in the entire world of cultivating immortals, not only the other puppet masters, but also everyone in the Xie family was dissatisfied.

Until an unnamed puppet master secretly used this forbidden technique, but accidentally made a mistake during the casting process, causing the soul-detainee to die in hell!

This matter caused an uproar, and only then did everyone understand Patriarch Xie's kindness.From then on, no one dared to use the art of restraining the soul, and it was almost lost.

"But I didn't expect that someone would actually know it..." Qu Yuelou poked his head, and said in amazement, "But I remember that this forbidden technique was developed by Xie's family. But Xie's family has long been suppressed by Xie Qing." Ming slaughtered all of them, and Xie Qingming was also executed by Master Gu... Logically speaking, there should be no one in the world who knows this forbidden technique, right?"

Su Lanqing rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, sighed softly, and muttered in a low voice: "What's all this..."

It's been a bad year since he returned to Beijing, until now, whether it's him or the people around him, there is basically no rest!

Qu Yuelou turned to look at him, then suddenly reached out to pat his head, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there's me here, and Louzhu Gu, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with a little soul arresting technique?"

Su Lanqing smiled bitterly and said, "You also said that this is a forbidden technique. If it wasn't extremely dangerous, how could the Patriarch of the Xie family forbid everyone to use it?"

"I'm not the roundworm in the stomach of the Patriarch, how would I know what he was thinking?"

Qu Yuelou curled her lips, "But it's okay, judging from the situation of Pavilion Master Shen, it should be that he has just been detained for a short time, and it is quite easy to save him."

Su Lanqing looked at her, and then at Gu Zhuangcheng, and found that the expressions of the two of them didn't seem so ugly, and it seemed that the little ancestor was telling the truth.

He was a little relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Then I'll go first, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the barracks..."

"Well, you go, I'll send someone to notify you when someone wakes up." Qu Yuelou nodded, and sent him out, watching him leave with his entourage before going back.

Gu Zhuangcheng's expression was very strange, except for the first moment of panic and despair, he was very calm for the rest of the time.

This kind of calm is actually very abnormal-especially the relationship between these two people is not ordinary.

When Su Lanqing was here, Qu Yuelou didn't dare to say it, she always felt that this junior was a bit scary.

She thought, if Su Lanqing encountered such a situation, let alone whether she would be desperate, at least she would be at a loss and would have to panic for a long time before calming down, right?

But Gu Zhuangcheng just panicked for a moment, if Qu Yuelou hadn't known about their relationship in advance, now he must suspect that Gu Zhuangcheng knew something inside.

——Or, he is the instigator behind the scenes.

How could Qu Yuelou know that the reason why Gu Zhuangcheng calmed down so quickly was because he had experienced it more than once.

He knew what the soul-trapping spell was, what it was like to be a soul-trapping person, and how to undo the spell.

What he is afraid of is not the soul arrest technique, but the long road ahead that cannot be changed.

Gu Zhuangcheng sighed silently, closed his eyes slightly, bent down, and touched Shen Yan's forehead.

There was a clear and faint medicinal scent on the other party's body. He was weak and had been drinking medicine all year round.As time goes by, a bit of bitter fragrance sticks to his body.

Gu Zhuangcheng once laughed at him as a medicine jar because of this.Shen Yan was not annoyed either, she glanced over lightly, and Gu Zhuangcheng's back was covered with cold sweat for no reason.

"I won't let you die..." Gu Zhuangcheng sighed, "Neither of us will die."

He was so familiar with the Southwest that he could bypass the Southwest Army's defenses with his eyes closed.

He suppressed his anger, straightened up slowly, turned his head to Qu Yuelou's wary eyes, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Master Qu." Long time no see.

Qu Yuelou frowned, and in the next second she had that expression of indifference - in her heart, no one in the world could compare to Su Lanqing, if it wasn't for the fact that Zhennan Hou died of a pavilion master It's a pity that she doesn't stay here!

Gu Zhuangcheng was a little surprised.He had seen Qu Yuelou in his previous lives. This senior who looked like a cardamom girl was born with a cold temperament, so he didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky to make her fall in love with him.

It's just that the two of them didn't have much contact at that time, and they didn't hear who this senior liked.Now it seems that she has taken a fancy to Zhennanhou?

Thinking about it again, the surface of Quyue Tower at that time was as frosty and unapproachable, with a high expression, like a god looking down on all living beings, maybe it was because her sweetheart was gone, this world was nothing more than a cage to her, only her sweetheart She was thinking about this cage so much that she had to take care of it and protect it.

Thinking of it this way, they can be regarded as sympathetic.Gu Zhuangcheng coughed lightly, his expression slowed down slightly, and he called again: "Senior."

Qu Yuelou nodded proudly, straight to the point: "Can you save him? If not, go out."

Gu Zhuangcheng: "..."

Gu Zhuangcheng touched his nose in embarrassment, and looked a little innocent and shy when he lowered his eyebrows and looked down: "To be honest, this junior has a way."

Qu Yuelou, who was about to drive people away, was dumbfounded: "What?"

Gu Zhuangcheng smiled, and respectfully invited her out of the house. If the other party wasn't worried, she even wanted to send her back to Southwest Camp!

The only way to solve the soul restraining technique is to summon the soul.But this calling of souls is not as simple as setting up an altar to enshrine sacrifices, and then dancing a soul-calling dance and chanting a few spells.

It is to ask people to enter the dream of the soul-detainee and bring his soul back.

This method seems difficult and dangerous—on the book stalls in the streets and alleys, there are two books for a penny mentioned in the legend. After all, it is a dream. Everyone is going to get in!

——So whenever the protagonist of the storybook legend falls into a dream, there is always an omnipotent senior protector by his side.

However, in reality, summoning souls from dreams is really not that troublesome.Compared with the soul-calling method of the jumping master, the soul-calling method of falling into a dream is simpler.

Gu Zhuangcheng locked the doors and windows, set up a barrier, and lay down on the bed with ease, without even pinching the magic formula, closed his eyes and fell asleep directly.

Shen Yan felt a burning sensation, followed by dry mouth.When he came back to his senses, he found that he was walking in a desert. Wherever he could see was yellow sand, and golden crows were hanging above his head, so that the sand almost melted.

Shen Yan's eyes darkened for a while, he shook his head, trying to figure out how he came to the desert from the southwest, but he was too tired, both physically and mentally were protesting, asking him to stop and have a rest.But for some reason, he insisted on going forward, and it seemed that he would reach the oasis soon.

Dragging his tired body, he staggered forward slowly, and almost fell down several times because of his weak feet.

His footsteps became slower and slower, and finally, while climbing a sand dune, his foot became unsteady, he fell straight into the sand, and lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a cave, surrounded by ice.

He was only wearing a thin shirt, and his limbs were exposed, red and purple from the cold.

Shen Yan curled up stiffly, huddling herself in a corner, rubbing her arms with both hands, trying to add a little warmth to herself.

But soon, he felt dizzy, the hot breath he exhaled was like a fire, and his throat was so dry that it was almost smoking.

He shook his head and even bit the tip of his tongue hard.The sharp pain made him recover a little bit of sanity, and his almost frozen brain began to think slowly——

He remembered that he was on his way to the Southwest Army Camp with Gu Zhuangcheng, but when he woke up, he found himself in a desert;

He walked in the desert for a long time, and after passing out of a coma, he appeared in this ice-covered cave.

Shen Yan lowered his head weakly, his face was pale, and a thin layer of frost gradually covered his body due to the extreme cold.

He felt world-weary for no reason, and the little heat in his chest couldn't wake him up.

so tired……

As he thought about it, the brilliance in his eyes dimmed little by little, almost fading into ashes.

But at this moment, he heard a voice that should not have appeared——

"Smoke!"

Gu Zhuangcheng... He opened his mouth and let himself fall into the darkness again.

-

Gu Zhuangcheng dared to dream alone, except that he didn't want to reveal too many of his secrets in front of outsiders, the main reason was that he and Shen Yan shared a talisman, and he could easily find the soul of the other party without going around in circles.

He originally thought that he would come to Qingming Mountain, or Yunzhuang Pavilion in the capital.Because these two places are Shen Yan's heart and mind, especially the Yunzhuang Pavilion, if no one invites you or there is no special important thing, Shen Yan can stay out of the door 360 days a year!

But he has entered a desert.

Gu Zhuangcheng confirmed the truth that Shen Yan was being manipulated almost instantly, and his heart was burning with anger, his eyes turned red with anger.

His hands trembled, but he didn't dare to move rashly—even if he was manipulated by someone, this place was still a dreamland of smoke, if he didn't manage it well, it would make people stupid!

Gu Zhuangcheng forced himself to calm down and carefully observed the surrounding situation.Suddenly, he found a vague human silhouette on a sand dune not far ahead. He hurried over, stretched out his hand to explore, and felt a faint familiar spiritual power.

So he felt relieved, and slapped the outline without hesitation, and the yellow sand flew up, covering people's sight.

Gu Zhuangcheng felt that his body was falling continuously, and the temperature around him was also dropping rapidly.

After he landed safely, he subconsciously put a barrier on himself to isolate the temperature of the ice cave.

He raised his eyes and saw the person curled up in the corner of the cave.The man hung his head, wrapped his hands around himself, with a dazed and fragile expression.

Gu Zhuangcheng was blinded by the blast, his heart ached, and he ran over there staggeringly: "Yan'er!"

When he ran to the person and hugged him firmly in his arms, the feeling of suffocation still did not dissipate.He was panting roughly, trying to hold him in his arms, but he was afraid that it would hurt him.

He buried his head on the side of the opponent's neck, feeling the faint pulse, and the heart that was about to jump out of the chest fell back to the place where it should be.

Gu Zhuangcheng took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, lovingly touched Shen Yan's pale face from the cold, gently kissed his lips, and took a mouthful of spiritual power for him to support his broken body. The stamina required for illusion.

He raised his hand, and a cluster of flames rose from the palm of his hand. The flames fell on the ice, but they did not go out, but burned more and more vigorously.

After a while, the entire cave was covered.Gu Zhuangcheng sat in the corner of the cave with Shen Yan in his arms, watching the ice melt and disappear, the cave began to shake, and a huge boulder fell down.

Gu Zhuangcheng raised his eyes suddenly, not knowing where to look, as if he was looking at the controller outside the illusion.

Then, he slowly twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a ferocious smile: "Since you insist on this, don't blame me for being cruel. Next time, if you can touch a hair of Yan'er, I will take your surname!"
