In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"Okay, okay." Kotoko told all the information she had learned, which was roughly the same as what Yukino had found out on the train, except that Kotoko was checking records written by monsters, so she had a little more information than Yukino.

"Was it a ghost who burned the train to ashes?" Ouyang Xuan asked doubtfully.

"It's a ghost, but not the traditional kind of ghost, not the kind with horns on their heads and red or green skin." Kotoko put her two index fingers on her head, "It's a man-made monster that relies on eating humans to become stronger and survive."

"They should have all disappeared during the Taisho era. I never expected one to show up here, and it's the same one that burned down the train a hundred years ago."

"But what does this have to do with Yukino's train?" Ouyang Falcon pressed. "Knowing who burned the train won't help us find Yukino. The train disappeared, not burned, right?"

"That's right, but Ouyang, you're wrong about one thing." Qinzi said mysteriously, "What if the car the firefighters found wasn't the real one? Since it was a fake car, it's normal that there were no passengers."

"Have they been transformed into magical weapons?" Ouyang Xuan thought of a cruel and ancient spell.

"According to the investigative report from the Hakurei Shrine back then, it seems to be correct," Kotoko said. "Those passengers trapped in the carriages and burned to death were refined into some kind of magical artifact. They didn't simply vanish into thin air; they were replaced."

"First, place a magic weapon underground. When the caster is in the sky, the offering is on the ground, and the magic weapon is underground, forming a straight line, the train above ground and the magic weapon underground can be swapped. This swap can even change size. Then, as long as the magic weapon that has been swapped to the ground is burned, no one will notice that the passengers on the entire train have been swapped."

"After a hundred years of forging underground, this magical instrument has finally been completed. It's been faked to resemble the first run of a modern tram, and Yukino has become its first target. After all, this route is exactly the same as the one back then."

"If we find the true form of the magic weapon, we can rescue Yukino who is trapped inside it." Ouyang Jun interrupted Kotoko's continued chatter and gave a direct conclusion.

"But he won't talk now and take us to find Yukino." Kotoko said helplessly, "His magic, which takes hundreds of years to master, is too ancient and outdated. Even the Hakurei Shrine doesn't have complete records of it."

"There is no way that Longhu Mountain could include this kind of magic." Ouyang Jun also felt that it was a little tricky.

"Over hundreds of years, the magical power fluctuations of the magic weapon have merged with the local spiritual veins, and Ouyang's magic detection can't find it."

At this point, it seemed that all other options were exhausted and the only thing left was for the monsters to dig deep underground to find the missing person.

Some time after the search began, after dark, a man sneaked up to the railway and was caught by Hippo Jiro. Unexpectedly, he was not an ordinary person. His ability to ignite forced Hippo Jiro and Hippo Taro to retreat. In the end, he was captured by Ouyang Sun, who sealed his ability with talisman paper and handed him over to Hippo Jiro.

"Even after being beaten like this by Jiro, he still hasn't spoken. This guy is too stubborn."

Kotoko knocked the ground with her cane. The sound was not loud, but Hippo Jiro who was not far away heard it. Thinking that it was the princess urging him, Hippo Jiro immediately sped up and used a big memory recovery spell on the man.

Chapter 31 Soul Searching Curse

The clothes of the hung man had turned into a pile of rags hanging on his body under Jiro's memory recovery technique, but his body looked unharmed.

"Jiro, he still hasn't spoken?"

"Princess, this devil has a big mouth. I've beaten him to death several times, but he refuses to say a word." Seeing Kotoko coming over but having no results, Jiro lowered his head in shame.

"Kotoko, aren't you the god of wisdom among monsters and ghosts? Can't you just order him to tell us where Yukino is?" asked Yono.

"He only looks like a ghost, but he's not actually one. That's why he's not within my purview, and he doesn't believe in me," Qinzi said helplessly. "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much trouble. I could have gotten him to speak earlier."

Looking at the man who was hung up and refused to speak, Ouyang Jun seemed to have discovered something and walked forward to stop Jiro who was about to continue to perform the great memory recovery technique.

"Master Ou?"

"Let's wait until he fully recovers first." Ouyang Jun pressed down Jiro's raised fist.

Without Jiro's continuous attacks, the man's mouth quickly recovered and he finally shouted out a complete sentence. However, this time he no longer had the arrogance he had before, and he almost shouted in a crying voice.

"Master! Sir! I don't know what the hell. That spell was given to me by that master. I just put it on the car. I really don't know what it is!?"

The tears flowing from the man's eyes looked like red tears of blood under the night light.

"After that master died, I don't know why I didn't die. I've been living a miserable life in human society, and at most I went to the hospital to eat corpses. I really don't know why this technique suddenly activated. I just sensed it and came to take a look."

"I really don't know where that spell is buried. I'm just a useless person who placed a tool on the train. I couldn't even defeat a stronger human at that time. How could I possibly have such a powerful spell?"

After hearing the man's tearful sobbing, Ouyang Xuan and the others were stunned.

"Zero." Kotoko called out.

"Princess, the ghost just now didn't lie. He really doesn't know the whereabouts of Yukinoshita-sama." A ghost in white appeared beside Kotoko and reported.

"You bastard! Why didn't you tell us earlier? You wasted our precious time!" Jiro roared.

"Did you give me the time to speak?!" the man shouted back, unwilling to be outdone. "After being hung up, I was beaten non-stop. As soon as my mouth healed, you smashed it. How could I even have the chance to speak?!"

"Sir," the man said to Ouyang Xuan in a mournful tone, "Look, the misunderstanding is now cleared up. I really didn't know anything about this matter or this technique. I was just a tool. Considering that I've survived from the Taisho era to this day, you can just treat me like a piece of shit."

Ouyang Xuan raised his hand and the talisman rope that bound the man broke, and the man fell to the ground. Seeing that he had regained his freedom, the man thanked Ouyang Xuan with tears of gratitude, then turned around and prepared to run away without looking back.

"Ouyang." Qinzi said.

"I know."

Hahahaha!! Stupid human! I'm a ghost who's lived for hundreds of years. How could a mere ghost possibly see through my lies? I didn't expect to run into such a setback the first time I performed that spell. From now on, I'll have to choose my targets carefully—

My body? Then where am I?

Laughing wildly in his heart, the man suddenly found that his perspective had suddenly become lower. Looking up, he could see something that looked like his own body running. He wanted to move, but found that his limbs and body had disappeared.

After his head was chopped off, the man ran a few more steps by inertia, then fell to the ground with a thud. His round head rolled to the side, and he looked at Ouyang Sun who was walking towards him with disbelief and anger.

"I can smell the stench on you even if I cover my nose. How could I let you go?" Grabbing the man's hair, Ouyang Jun lifted his head.

"I, I'm dying!?" The man looked at his body in disbelief as it gradually turned into dust, and his head also gradually turned into dust and ashes from the broken part.

"No, it's impossible. You clearly don't have that kind of knife in your hand. How, how could you possibly kill me? This is impossible!"

The man opened his mouth, and his teeth, which originally looked like those of a human, turned into sharp triangles, like those of a swift beast.

Its head kept moving in Ouyang Falcon's hand, as if it wanted to take a bite of Ouyang Falcon, but unfortunately it kept jumping around in Ouyang Falcon's hand and couldn't even touch Ouyang Falcon.

"Human! Don't you want to save the woman who was caught in the magic weapon? I know where she is and I know how to save her. You let me go and find me a corpse to graft my head onto, and I will tell you where she is." Seeing that his threat did not work, the man began to negotiate with Ouyang Xuan.

"Those two women are your concubines, right? They are so beautiful. You don't want them to die like this, do you? There is only one hour left. They will die in one hour and then suffer the same fate as the sacrifices in the magic weapon. There is still time."

"No need, I don't believe you, and I don't intend to believe you." Ouyang Xuan held the man's head and began to cast a spell that was not from Longhu Mountain.

"If you have any questions, I will ask your soul directly."

"Everything that happened here today, forget it all after you go back." Qinzi said seriously to the monsters around her, "You didn't see anything, and you haven't been here. You spent the whole day in the village."

"Yes, princess."

The monsters nodded and bowed respectfully. Even if Qinzi hadn't asked them to do so, they would never tell anyone what happened today. However, the way they looked at Ouyang Falcon was filled with even more awe and respect than before.

"Qinzi, is Ouyang doing something extraordinary?" Yang No asked.

"Yes." Qinzi nodded heavily. "The Soul Searching Curse is the most evil spell, whether it's on the mainland or in the island country. If the Ouyang family knew that Ouyang not only learned it but also used it, he might not be expelled from the sect, but he would probably be protected within the sect to prevent outsiders from judging and arresting him."

"But, isn't Ouyang trying to save people?"

"Just learning this spell is enough to get you captured." Qinzi said, "But Master Ouyang is very powerful. Even if we are discovered, we will just be able to eat and drink well in the sect and not go out."

"Ouyang's willingness to use this spell in front of us shows his absolute trust in us," Qinzi said, smiling proudly. "This is a manifestation of Ouyang's love for us and his love for our family."

"Ouyang." Yang Nai looked at Ouyang Shun, and the heart that had been hanging in the air since Xue Nai disappeared was finally put down. Yes, her lover is so powerful, why should she worry about it? He will definitely bring Xue Nai back safely.

Ouyang Xuan closed his eyes, and hundreds of years of memories of the man in his hand rushed into his brain like a tide. This was the disadvantage and most common feature of the soul-searching spell. It crushed a person's soul and displayed it in front of the caster. All memories from childhood to death in the coffin rushed into the brain at once.

If a person has a low soul strength or weak magical powers, after using the soul-searching spell, he may just be committing suicide by watching a movie. Even if he gets the information he wants to know, he will not have the opportunity to say it out or use this information.

Another use of the Soul-Searching Spell is to possess another body. A person with powerful magical powers can completely transfer his or her memories and soul into another body, thereby confusing the memory and soul in order to achieve the purpose of resurrection and possession. This is also the main reason why the Soul-Searching Spell was banned.

The shortcomings of these soul-searching spells are completely useless in front of Ouyang Xuan. He already has strong magic power and soul. After obtaining the power of the sheep talisman, his soul power has undergone a leap-forward evolution. The soul-searching spell will no longer cause any harm to Ouyang Xuan.

"Yes, Master XX. I will definitely make good use of the magical instruments Master XX has bestowed upon me, and cultivate the living dead so that Master XX can stand tall in the sun and become the ultimate living being."

"Master XX, Master XX has been killed! No, I don't want to die. I've just become a ghost, and I haven't yet enjoyed the benefits of my power and long life. I don't want to die."

[Ahhh, XX, you idiot, I don't know why, but I'm not dead! Hahahaha, I'm the only ghost in the world now!]

"Why, why would humans invent a tool that can emit sunlight at any time? I'm a ghost more advanced than humans. I can't live in the sewers forever!"

[After a hundred years of practice, the magical weapon XX gave me has finally been perfected. I want to leave this damn sewer and stand under the sunlight.]

[Hippopotamus? What? Human—]

Ouyang Xuan opened his eyes, and the man's eventful yet unsuccessful life flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope. After knowing the information he wanted, Ouyang Xuan quickly used the secret technique of Longhu Mountain to delete all those disgusting memories.

The man stared at Ouyang Xuan with resentful eyes, as if he was using all his life's skills to curse Ouyang Xuan so that he would not have noodles for his instant noodles, would not have a hole in the toilet, and would only be able to buy flat Coke.

Ouyang Xuan was completely accustomed to this kind of look. Many evil spirits and monsters died at his hands, all looked at with this kind of look, but it did not affect Ouyang Xuan's hand speed in killing them at all, but made it even faster.

"Ouyang." Yang Nai recovered his strength, waving his hands and shouting loudly.

"Really? If you have such a useful spell, you should have used it sooner," Kotoko complained. "You can't let two super cute girls feed mosquitoes in the wild for half a day, Ouyang."

"Sorry, I just..."

"I just feel that using the Soul Searching Curse in front of us will have a negative impact on your image in our minds." Kotoko patted her ordinary chest and said, "No matter what Ouyang does, I will support him 90%, whether it's robbing a bank or abducting a woman, letting the two Hayasakas of the Shinomiya family accompany you, or letting the Yukinoshita sisters play together, I support you."

"What's the remaining 10%?" Ouyang Xuan then asked, "Yang Nai, what are you thinking about?"

"Think about what Qinzi said just now, is it feasible?" Yang Nai touched his chin as if he was really thinking seriously, and then he was punished by Ouyang Shun's knife.

"That ten percent, of course, is the monsters. After all, I am the God of Wisdom of the monsters and their patriarch. As long as they don't really do something unforgivable, I still have to show up. I am their patriarch, and as my lover, Ouyang, you are naturally their patriarch as well."

"Ouyang should demonstrate the spirit of Longhu Mountain and do his best to protect his shortcomings."

Like Haruno, Kotoko was also hit by Ouyang Jun's stab wound. She held her beret in dissatisfaction, and the ahoge on Kotoko's head jumped angrily, which made Haruno, who was standing by, want to grab a handful of it. She had short hair and didn't have such a thing as ahoge. Yukino also had standard long straight black hair, and didn't have any standing ahoge either.

"You can't touch it." Kotoko guessed what Haruno was thinking in advance.

"No, why would I touch it casually?" Yang Nai denied her own thoughts with a smile.

After Ouyang Xuan used the soul-searching spell, Qinzi asked the monsters to evacuate. It was enough to leave the following matters to Ouyang Xuan. There was no need for them to come here to act as an atmosphere group. Ouyang Xuan alone could kill hundreds of them.

Ouyang Jun brought Yang No and Qinzi to the railway and stopped at an unremarkable place. He squatted down and used his hands to push away the stones on the railway. His hands touched the soil. His magic power penetrated the soil and extended downwards. Finally, at a distance of two hundred meters, he found a tram that was buried in the soil but was burning all the time. It looked only as big as a car model.

"found it."

"Really!" Yang Nai said in surprise, "Ouyang, hurry up, hurry up and save Xue Nai."

"Evil spirits, ghosts, magical instruments, and sacrifices are all there. Xueno must be terrified. After Ouyang rescues Xueno, I will use my sister's love to help her get out of the shadows."

"And then you fell into the new psychological shadow of your sister complex, right?"

"No way, Yukino-chan will be obsessed with the love of me, her older sister, and then, hehehe..."

"What disgusting things are you thinking about?"

"Qinzi." Ouyang Xuan shouted.

"Yes." Kotoko immediately gave up arguing with Haruno.

"Catch my body. Yukino is too deep down. It would be more convenient for me to go down directly in my soul state."

The power of the sheep talisman was activated, and Ouyang Xuan's translucent soul floated out of his body and then drilled into the ground.

Seeing Ouyang Xuan got off the ground, Qinzi, who was hugging Ouyang Xuan's body, broke down in a second, and sat on the railroad tracks with Ouyang Xuan in her arms, grinning foolishly and rubbing her cheeks against Ouyang Xuan's chest and face. Seeing this, Yang Nai shouted that it was unfair, and she hugged Ouyang Xuan's other side and did the same action as Qinzi.

Chapter 32 Chinese Cuisine

Underground, in the train that had been refined into a magical weapon, Yukino and Miko lay on the ground, trying to breathe as little turbid air as possible.

"Yukinoshita-san... can we... can we get out alive?" Due to lack of oxygen, Miko was already losing consciousness.

"Yes, we can definitely get out, believe me." Yukino held Jianzi's hand, but her tone lacked some confidence.

The red rope that Ouyang Xuan gave to Xue No was taken off. Jianzi and Xue No each held half of it. The spell on the red rope worked on both of them at the same time, which allowed them to hold on until now. However, an hour passed, and the temperature of the fire gradually passed to their bodies. All they could smell in their noses was the extremely pungent smell of smoke.

When the flames started, the first thing that was heard was Jianzi's scream, and then the screams of the evil spirits came from outside the door. They had died because of the flames, and now they were back in the hell of flames again. They had died once and could not even be burned to death or unconscious, and could only endure the pain brought by the flames while awake.

"Shi...Yotani-san..." Yukino wanted to wake up Kenko, but she had no strength left.

Jianzi fainted while murmuring, and the hand holding the red rope gradually loosened. It was Yukino who used up the last bit of strength in her body to grab Jianzi's hand, and her small hand held it tightly, not letting Jianzi's hand let go.

Every time she breathed, her lungs felt hot. Xueno felt as if the air she breathed in was burning. The fire in her body was getting hotter and hotter, and the remaining power on the red rope given by Ouyang Xuan was getting weaker and weaker.

I... can't take it anymore... Someone come... Save me... Or at least... Save Yotsuya-san...

"Yukino, Yukino."

Yukino felt her body being picked up, and she tried hard to open her eyes that were blurred by the smoke. She looked hard for a long time, but could not see the person's face clearly. The voice in her ears was also far and near, and she could only vaguely hear her own name. The voice seemed to be interfered with, and it was hoarse and she could not tell whose it was.

"You are...brother?" Yukino squeezed out four words from her throat with difficulty.

"it's me."

"That's great..." Yukino relaxed completely, her consciousness blurring out, and her determined spirit finally giving way. Before she passed out, she uttered one last word, "Yotani-san, I want to help save her..."

----

In the top-floor ward of Shinomiya Hospital, a group of doctors left the ward. It was supposed to be a single room, but now there were two beds, with a black-haired girl lying on each bed. They were Yukino and Miko who were rescued by Ouyang Sun. They had suffered a lot of mental and physical damage in the magic weapon train, and even if they came out, they would not recover all at once. To be on the safe side, Ouyang Sun sent them both to Shinomiya Hospital.

Qinzi and Ouyang Xuan sat on the sofa in the ward. Although it was a ward, it was decorated like the presidential suite of a hotel. Except for two more beds, it was exactly the same as the hotel. Not only did it have a bathroom, bathtub, sofa and coffee table, there was even a miniature golf course, and the TV was equipped with top-notch speakers.
