Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 289 The Return of the Earth Soul - Crisis Appears
Mi Zhijie immediately knelt on the ground, ignoring the burns on his neck, and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, you lost your soul here when you were little, and you became an idiot. You grew up and had me with someone else. Today, with Brother Li's help, I've come all the way to this Dadong Mountain to find your soul and bring it back..."

The little girl was very cute, and you could vaguely make out the appearance of an old woman.

She stood up from the bushes and walked towards Mi Zhijie step by step, her eyes glazed over: "It's so strange, I don't know you at all, but I always feel like you're family to me."

After experiencing the ghost incident at the villa, Mi Zhijie saw the ghost again, and fear grew in his heart. In order to force himself not to back down, he bit his lip, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, letting the pain give him some courage.

The little girl placed her hand on the back of Mi Zhijie's hand, her body becoming somewhat solidified. In a daze, she said, "It's been so long. I feel like I've been here for a long time. I want to go home."

Li Xuan squeezed out blood and wrote runes on the back of Mi Zhijie's hand. His magic was restricted, and only blood could produce a miraculous effect. Huang Yaozu had already proven this.

The little girl's shadow slowly merged with Mi Zhijie's, and there was no scene of her being swallowed up...

They took it home.

In the dimly lit, dilapidated house, the little girl emerged from Mi Zhijie's body, looked at the old furniture, and finally her gaze settled on the old woman tied to the foot of the bed: "Mom...Mom? Hmm? She looks like me, so old..."

She walked up to the old woman and reached out to touch her face.

The old woman seemed to sense something; instead of going mad, she quietly brought her face closer to touch it, and hissing sounds... smoke rose from her skin...

The two are combined into one.

With a painful scream, the old woman clutched her head and fainted.

Li Xuan said that the Earth Soul returned, and the old woman's experiences over the years and the Earth Soul's lonely memories in the mountains over the years merged into one. The huge amount of information washed over her consciousness, so it was normal for her to faint. She would wake up when everything was in harmony.

The chains on the old woman's wrists were unlocked.

Li Xuan paid for a caregiver to clean the old woman, change her into fresh clothes, and then take her to the clinic for intravenous nutrition, as her body was too weak due to nutritional imbalance.

In the evening, the old woman woke up and stared blankly at Mi Zhijie, who was sleeping by the bedside. She trembled as she reached out to touch his hair.

Mi Zhijie was startled awake. He looked up and saw that his mother was awake. Her eyes no longer held the madness of the past; instead, they held the expression of a normal person. He immediately felt a lump in his throat and began to cry.

The memories the old woman had experienced in her physical body gradually merged, and her feelings were very complicated. It was as if she had taken a long nap as a child and woke up to find herself with such a grown son, and now she was old...

She felt it was all so unreal, as if it were a joke.

Li Xuan, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, stood silently outside the clinic, watching the complex and emotional scene of a mother and child reuniting in the ward...

Mi Zhijie's incident was just a side story.

Things happen in this world at a very fast pace; often, before something is even on track, a blow comes immediately.

I wonder if Huang Yaozu and Glasses have escaped to the mainland.

In this era, there are anonymous SIM cards. He has two ordinary blue-screen mobile phones that, apart from making calls and receiving text messages, do not have any smart features.

Fishing boats depart from Hong Kong Island Pier to the nearest pier to the mainland. It's actually quite close; more than ten hours have passed since Huang Yaozu and his companion left, so they should have arrived by now.

He hadn't received a call yet, so after thinking for a moment, he simply dialed a number that only the three people knew.

The call is connected.

There was a faint breathing sound from the other side, but no one spoke.

After waiting for three seconds, Li Xuan hung up the phone, took out the SIM card, broke it in half, and casually threw it into the trash can.

In this era, only a small number of mobile phones have GPS functionality. Although Li Xuan's phone doesn't have a GPS chip, its location function can still be achieved using only the phone card's signal, albeit with reduced accuracy, ranging from a hundred to several hundred meters in error. The area outside is a residential district, with densely packed houses within a few hundred meters, housing many people, and some even having multiple floors, making it difficult to find him immediately.

Li Xuan confirmed through a silent phone call that Huang Yaozu was in trouble.

Under normal circumstances, he could use a safe word to ensure his safety and that he wasn't being coerced. Now that he can't even utter a safe word, it looks like things are going to get very bad...

His mood suddenly became somewhat agitated.

That's so unfair!

Li Xuan glanced at the heartwarming scene of Mi Zhijie and his mother, then turned and left. Many things now couldn't wait for slow development; even if it meant taking risks, they had to move forward quickly.

On Tai Mo Shan, where the New Territories and Yuen Long meet, a temple is being built in a secluded spot.

A dozen or so workers, drenched in sweat, climbed up and down to build a temple that was somewhat scaled down. They didn't know who the boss was, and even the foreman didn't know his name.

All they know is how to do things for money...

Li Xuan followed the mountain path to this place and saw that the temple was already taking shape. He judged that it would take at least another thirty days to complete.
The foreman came over and asked for my identity.

Li Xuan said, "The boss asked me to come and check on the construction progress of the temple."

His tone was calm and his expression composed. The foreman opened his mouth, as if to ask something, but then felt it was unnecessary; taking a look wouldn't hurt him.

The foreman laughed and said, "Not so fast yet, but the statue has already been moved in and it's covered with red cloth."

Li Xuan went inside, and indeed, the temple floor was a mess. On the altar stood a half-meter-tall statue covered with two layers of red cloth and secured with red ropes...

The foreman said, "The brothers have been very quick. Besides, in such a remote place, even if we open the door, there won't be many worshippers..."

Li Xuan, wearing a mask and hat, glanced at the foreman.

The foreman was startled and dared not say anything out of turn.

Li Xuan looked at the statue and said, "You don't need to return the money we gave you earlier. The project ends here. You can stop work and go home. Due to special reasons, the construction of the temple is suspended."

The foreman said, puzzled, "It's only another thirty days. We're really the fastest in Hong Kong."

Li Xuan said in a low voice, "The boss got into some trouble. Even if you finish building it, there won't be any final payment. We'll contact you again if you want to continue building it after things have calmed down."

Upon hearing that there was no final payment, the surrounding workers all stopped what they were doing; if they finished all the work, they would lose money.

The foreman didn't believe Li Xuan, this guy who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so he picked up his phone and dialed Huang Yaozu's number. He had always finalized the construction plans through an intermediary.

This number is only used in emergencies.

beep...

The call didn't go through.

Of course it wouldn't go through, because Huang Yaozu had already thrown the number card into the sea when we boarded the ship last night.

The foreman's expression shifted a few times. He looked at his men around him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Stop work for now. There might be some misunderstanding. We'll continue building once the boss gives us a reply. Let's go back now and work on other construction sites tomorrow."
