After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 155 Soul Calling

"Goudan? We are from the yamen. Your mother is looking for you. Come with us?"

Xu Yingying said gently.

But unfortunately Goudan still ignored her and just stared into the distance with a dull look.

Xu Yingying waved her hand in front of him, but found that he still didn't react.

Is this... a lost soul?

Xu Yingying's pupils shrank and she reacted immediately.

When people are frightened, their souls will be scared out of their wits and they need to hear the calls of their loved ones to come back.

"Carry him back." Xu Yingying ordered her servants.

"Yes, my lord."

Li Siqi sensed something was wrong, and he quickly asked, "What happened?"

Xu Yingying showed a helpless expression and said, "He must have been scared out of his wits."

"Ah! There is such a thing? What should I do now?" Li Siqi said a little at a loss. This was the first time she encountered such a thing.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem. Just ask his mother to shout at the street corner." Xu Yingying waved her hand.

At the same time, she checked the area near where Goudan was found, but did not find any evil spirits.

Suddenly, she felt relieved. It wasn't the work of evil spirits, but she just lost her soul due to being frightened. This problem was easy to solve. She just needed to call back the lost soul.

In this way, Li Siqi sent Xu Yingying to his home.

When Aunt Zhao saw her son who had been missing for almost two days finally appear, she was so excited that she rushed over to him immediately.

"Son, you finally showed up. Where have you been? Don't you know how worried I was about you?"

Aunt Zhao hugged Goudan and cried.

But she soon realized something was wrong. No matter what she said, her son just opened his mouth slightly and looked at her dully, with a look of indifference in his eyes, as if he didn't know her.

"Son? Son? What's wrong with you? Actually, it's mom!" Aunt Zhao held Goudan's body and shook him.

The only response she got was deathly silence. Aunt Zhao immediately panicked and looked at Xu Yingying for help.

Xu Yingying waved her hands and said, "It's okay, Aunt Zhao, your son has lost his soul. Just follow me and shout on the street tonight to call his soul back."

"Is it really not a big problem?" Aunt Zhao said a little worriedly.

"It's not a big problem. Believe me, I will definitely solve this matter for you." Xu Yingying comforted Aunt Zhao.

With Xu Yingying's comfort, Aunt Zhao quickly calmed down.

night.

There was no one on the street, it was dead silent.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi brought Aunt Zhao to the street.

Xu Yingying asked Aunt Zhao to prepare the clothes that Goudan often wore in advance, and then shouted Goudan's name loudly at the intersection.

"Goudan, Goudan, it's time for you to come back. Stop playing around."

"It's so late, you should go home."

"Goudan, come back!"

……

Suddenly, Xu Yingying saw a faint figure walking out from the corner.

This is exactly Goudan’s soul.

Goudan’s soul slowly walked to their home.

Xu Yingying asked Aunt Zhao to go back and see if Goudan had woken up.

Aunt Zhao returned home half-believing and half-doubting. After a while, she ran out excitedly and said to Xu Yingying happily, "Yes, my son has woken up."

Xu Yingying nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. "It's good that he's awake. I'll go see him."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Zhao nodded happily.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi entered the room.

Seeing Goudan sitting on the bed with a pale face, Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"

Goudan nodded weakly, "It's okay. Thank you for your concern."

"What exactly happened to you that day? How did you become like this?" Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask curiously.

When Goudan heard Xu Yingying's words, he immediately frowned and fell into memories.

"I remember... I was herding cattle in the back hills... and as I was walking, I felt a huge attraction in front of me, and I walked forward uncontrollably."

"Then I didn't know what happened. When I woke up, I was back home inexplicably. You all know what happened next."

Goudan said helplessly.

baffling?

Out of control?

After hearing this, Xu Yingying immediately felt that this matter was not as simple as she had imagined, and there was definitely something strange.

At this moment, Li Siqi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"After my investigation just now, I found that there were often people who seemed to be possessed in that area of ​​the back mountain, and many people died. However, most of them accidentally fell into the pond and drowned. There were no other footsteps nearby."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying immediately sensed something was wrong. If someone accidentally died in a place occasionally, it might be an accident, but if it happened frequently, that might not be the case.

She had to go and see.

"Okay, I understand." Xu Yingying nodded.

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Goudan on the bed and warned him, "Don't run around these few days. Stay at home and take good care of yourself!"

Then he looked at Aunt Zhao and warned: "Goudan's soul has just been found, and it is a little unstable. You can ask for a peace amulet from the temple to hang on his body and bless him. When he is well again, take him to the temple to worship!"

"We still have things to deal with, so we'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Yingying turned around and prepared to leave with Li Siqi.

"Okay, thank you for your instructions, sir. Take care." Aunt Zhao said to Xu Yingying with great gratitude.

She also thoughtfully sent Xu Yingying and Li Siqi out of the house.

Xu Yingying looked at the sky which was not yet dark, so she immediately took Li Siqi to the back mountain.

"Let's search carefully again. I think there is definitely something strange about Goudan's missing soul." Xu Yingying said to Li Siqi.

"Okay." Li Siqi nodded.

In this way, the two searched in the back mountain for a while.

Finally, Xu Yingying found a cave in a hidden cave in the back mountain.

She looked inside and discovered a formation.

Xu Yingying observed it for a few seconds, and her pupils suddenly shrank. This formation turned out to be the legendary soul gathering formation.

Legend has it that if one collects enough souls of extremely yin women, one can possess supreme magical powers and even be able to resurrect the dead.

When Xu Yingying thought of this, she felt a chill in her back. What on earth did the person who created this soul gathering formation want to do? What kind of conspiracy did he have?

At this time, Li Siqi saw that Xu Yingying had not moved for a long time, so he became a little anxious, fearing that something had happened to her.

"Xu Yingying, Xu Yingying, where are you?"

Li Siqi's anxious voice came from outside the cave.

"Oh, I'm fine. I'll be right out." Xu Yingying said quickly.

After saying that, she left the cave.
