C121 Hour (1/2)
He hadn't noticed the weather before, but now, he realized that the originally clear weather had turned into dark clouds that covered the sky.
”It's true that the heavens do not wish for us to see each other. I have also underestimated that thing …” Of course it's also related to the Raksha Seal on your body. ”
It's really hard to imagine that a 60-70 year old man could actually have such good physical strength. I'm dressed like a calf right now, but he had only rested for a pack of cigarettes for a short period of time and already looked almost normal.
”I'm sorry, I didn't know that this thing would react with the thing inside.”
After saying that, I looked into the forest with lingering fear in my heart. The dangerous situation from before continued to appear before my eyes.
”Alright, this isn't a place to stay for long. We can talk if we want to go back.”
The old man immediately turned around, tidying up his daoist robe, and walking forward shakily with his hands behind his back.
At this time, Tang Rou and I had recovered some of our stamina. We quickly got up and followed behind the old gramps.
The more we left the forest, the faster the throbbing in my heart dissipated. When the three of us were completely out of the black forest, I could finally catch my breath.
”Old gramps, that ghost girl's soul …”
In the previous battle, I didn't find any trace of the female ghost. However, I know that the female ghost's remnant soul didn't dissipate. After all, my perception is much better than ordinary people's.
”I know what you want to ask. When I was fighting with that thing just now, I helped you capture that ghost girl's soul.”
The old man's answer immediately made me excited. As a result, I didn't understand the worn-out piece of jade that Daoist Tianxuan had handed me.
”However, don't be happy too early. That place is not ordinary. Although the remnant spirit has already been placed in this jade, the damage it suffered before is too serious. It will be difficult to recover.”
”What does that mean?”
”This piece of jade can only maintain the remnant soul for a short period of time. Right now, the ghost lady has already lost her consciousness, so it won't be long before she disappears.”
Daoist Tian Xuan's words made my heart heavy once again. The hope that I had raised with great difficulty was now completely shattered.
He touched the piece of jade in his hand and could not help but feel sad, as if this piece of jade was like the poor woman who was killed in a cruel way while she was alive.
”Isn't there any way to remedy this? Your visit was so profound that there should be a way, right?”
I was still a bit unwilling to give up. I held the piece of jade in my palm and looked at Daoist Tian Xuan.
At this moment, I could see that there was a hint of hesitation on the other party's face. This meant that it wasn't as though there was nothing I could do. My heart was beating wildly.
