Believe It Or Not, I Already Caught You

It only takes five or six minutes for your vital qi to dissipate after death. Its amazing how your dad was able to retrieve Aunties soul in such a short period of time. Chen Yu couldnt help but be amazed. Snatching someone back from Underworld within six minutes. This speed was something that even her grandpa couldnt achieve. She didnt expect Lu Nings father to be so powerful.

Thats because our family has Vitality Herb, Lu Ning explained.

What is Vitality Herb? Yan Wei had not heard of the Vitality Herb and couldnt help but ask.

Its a kind of spiritual herb that can maintain vitality. As long as ones vitality hasnt dissipated, eating a piece of Vitality Herb can keep the last breath of vitality from dissipating. Lu Ning explained.

Unbelievable. How come Ive never heard of it before? Yan Wei exclaimed.

If my father hadnt mentioned it to me, I wouldnt have known about it either, Lu Ning said in agreement.

The environment on earth now makes it very difficult to grow Vitality Herb. Seeing everyone looking at her strangely, Chen Yu explained, Vitality Herb can only grow on spiritual veins, and it takes a thousand years to harvest one plant. Nowadays, spirit qi is so sparse, there are few spiritual veins left. Moreover, land development by humans is so serious, so where can you possibly find an environment for the growth of a Vitality Herb?

Fellow Daoist Chen is really knowledgeable. Yan Wei couldnt help but express admiration.

I also heard it from my grandfather. I actually have not seen it, Chen Yu said modestly.

Although Lu Ning was also very interested in the Vitality Herb, he was more worried about his mothers situation. He once again pulled the topic back and continued to ask, Shishi, you have not finished. Why can the Mount Tai Stone only help my mother calm her soul for another two to three years at most?

Chen Yu organized her words and said: The process of hooking souls for ghost messengers is usually like this. The Book of Life and Death displays the name, time and place in advance. Then ghost messengers will go to the world of the living based on this information to collect the soul. However, we, Celestial Masters, all know that souls collected by ghost messengers dont mean death. Death means

The severance of vital qi, Lu Ning finished.

Thats right, and thats why your father was able to snatch her back from the Ghost Gate after Auntie died. Chen Yu continued, But there is one thing besides vital qi that can also determine a persons life and death.

The Book of Life and Death? Lu Ning and Yan Wei said almost simultaneously.

Exactly. Chen Yu nodded. Usually, ghost messengers will take souls to the Underworld, register them, and then cross out their names in the Book of Life and Death. If the time exceeds six minutes, the vital qi of the soul would have long dissipated before his name was crossed out. However, Auntie Lin is different. She took Vitality Herb.

Her vitality hasnt dissipated, but her name on the Book of Life and Death has been crossed out, thats why Aunties soul is unstable. Similarly, for the stone, Aunties soul is not a living soul, Chen Yu said.

If not a living soul, then naturally hers was a dead soul, which meant that Lu Nings mother was a dead person living on earth. With this in mind, the faces of the four people looked quite out of sorts.

So even if Im alive, Im still a dead person. Mrs. Lu smiled bitterly, her eyes full of hesitation and melancholy.

Aunt Lin. Seeing Mrs. Lus disheartened expression, Yan Xin eyed Chen Yu and said loudly, Dont talk nonsense. Aunt is just in poor health.

Xiner! Yan Wei reprimanded Yan Xin. Yan Xin felt aggrieved. She did not understand why her elder brother and Lu Ning were helping Chen Yu. She obviously had been cursing Aunt Lin.

It can also be considered that I have earned these 20 past years. Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Ning. She watched Lu Ning grow up in the past 20 years. She had no regrets even if she died immediately. She was just afraid that those who would be left behind would be sad.

Mom. Lu Nings eyes instantly reddened.

Alright, there are still two or three years left, right? Mrs. Lu comforted him.

Mm. Lu Ning nodded fiercely, trying not to weep.

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned solemn. Chen Yu felt so depressed she didnt dare to continue eating any of the dishes, but she was really hungry, ah. Chen Yu struggled for a while, raised her head in confusion and asked, Why are you so sad? A Soul Calming Spell can solve things, ah.

When the soul was unstable, a Mount Tai Stone wasnt the best resolution. Once a Soul Calming Spell was branded on the soul, the soul would naturally settle down.

A rare incantation like the Soul Calming Spell was lost long ago, so where else can we find someone who knows it today, Lu Ning shook his head sadly.

I can do it, ah. After Chen Yu finished speaking, she was also momentarily stunned.Why do I know the incantation?

You can? Lu Ning unbelievably confirmed again.

Chen Yu was also nothing but bewildered.I should have learned it. Why do I have the Soul Calming Spell in my head? The old man must have taught me before. Right!

Chen Yu thought and nodded again.

The Lou Residence.

Lou Ming was sitting in the study on the second floor, brushing a pencil on white paper. The content of the drawing was last nights dream. He did not know why he had such a dream. The dream scene in the end was just a mere dream, or was that actually one of his past lives?

Were both the two women he dreamed of Shishi? Or was it just a figment of his own imagination where he substituted Shishis appearance.

Lou Ming stared at the woman in red on the drawing paper and examined it again and again. It was not Shishi, nor was it his previous life.

Knock-knock!

Come in. Lou Ming casually dropped the pencil in his hand and rubbed his eyes a little uncomfortably.

Young Master. Tian Fei walked in with a picture. Seeing Lou Mings tired face, he couldnt help but be concerned, Young Master, you havent slept since the latter half of last night. Do you want to go catch up on your sleep?

Its nothing. What do you have in your hand? Lou Ming asked without care.

The archaeological team passed it over. Tian Fei passed the picture in his hand to Lou Ming and said, This is the spiritual artifact dug out from the bottom of Wufang Lake.

Lou Ming took the picture, and after just one look, a name popped up in his mind,Ling Ji.

Princess, can I borrow your sword for a while.

For what?

To protect the righteousness of heaven and earth.

Young Master, Young Master, Young Master? Tian Fei called three times in a row before Lou Ming abruptly raised his head.

Tian Fei frowned a little worriedly and reached out to point to the phone that kept vibrating on the desk. He prompted him, Your phone.

Lou Ming answered with an Oh, upon realizing it. He picked up the phone, while raising his hand to indicate Tian Fei to go out.

Lou Ming, have you received the portraits? Master Mao in the video was also holding a picture identical to Lou Mings.

Yes. Lou Ming took a look at the portrait he was holding and nodded.

Although I have not seen this sword with my own eyes, Elder Yan has seen it, and he said that there is a great merit and a great sinful debt on this sword. Master Mao looked at Lou Ming through the video, Its very similar to you.

Boundless evil qi and a golden light in the soul.
