Chapter 45: Lost Soul
The term "soul leaving the body" refers to the soul leaving the body under normal circumstances.

However, there are two types of soul wandering: spontaneous and passive.

The young Taoist priests, including Sanze, seemed to act spontaneously, but without any apparent reason.

At this moment, Sanze and the other eight children were in the courtyard of Xuantian Temple, still sweeping fallen leaves.

Xuantian Temple was sealed off, and there weren't many people inside. Currently, there were only a few people from Xuanhe Technology.

The nine children, each with a different shape, stood like wax figures.

Cheng Mai stood beside San Ze, waiting for Shen Luo to look at everyone.

"They are indeed possessed by spirits, but it is rare to see so many people possessing by spirits in broad daylight."

You shouldn't touch someone whose soul is wandering, just like sleepwalking at night. Once you touch them, their soul may never be able to return to their body.

"Can you find out what happened?" This question was asked by Qian.

Xiaoqian shook her head. "I came over this morning and told them to clean up the courtyard. New people will be coming in a few days. Then they will go to the main hall to deal with the gods. When I came out, it was like this."

Xiao Qian also used his magic to check and confirmed that it was a spontaneous soul departure, so he dared not act rashly and could only call Cheng Mai over.

Just as Cheng Mai was about to say something, Shen Luo suddenly changed his mind, grabbed Cheng Mai's wrist and took a step back. The Phoenix Magnetic Rod appeared and encircled Cheng Mai.

"Sneaking around like that, are you hiding something?" Shen Luo stared at the nine teenagers and shouted sharply.

Cheng Mai was unaware of what had happened, and being protected under Shen Luo's wing, he didn't ask any further questions.

A ball of fire engulfed the nine youths. Xiao Qian cried out and took a big step back, watching helplessly as the nine youths turned into nothingness, revealing the array on the ground.

"Teleportation talisman?" Xiao Qian exclaimed in shock. The array's core was right where Sanze had just stood, which was also where Chengmai had stood the first moment.

Xiao Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was so close that CEO Cheng was arrested, and Shen Luo was also involved.

"Little Phoenix?" A deep voice came from the sky, tinged with amusement. "I see."

The voice disappeared as soon as it finished speaking.

"Don't leave yet, where did you take those children?" Although Cheng Mai didn't know who he was, he was sure he wasn't a good person.

"The God of Wisdom possesses boundless wisdom; why not seek it out yourself?" The voice faded into the distance. "Remember, you only have eight hours. After that, they will become nothing more than wandering ghosts."

"Cheng Mai, this is a test I'm giving you."

After saying those words, the sound completely disappeared.

Xiaoqian was confused. "What does this mean?"

Cheng Mai lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then strode to the room where Sanze had been resting. The room was messy and empty.

She then ran to the main hall, where the statue of the deity was half damaged and had not yet been cleaned up.

Cheng Mai ran behind the deity, where several seemingly sleeping teenagers lay inside the hollow statue.

Xiaoqian: "Impossible, I've been here since this morning, there's absolutely no one who's come in."

Cheng Mai glanced at the time, then asked Shen Luo, "With your abilities, can you send them here quietly?"

Shen Luo looked outside, then at the group of teenagers. "It's difficult. Perhaps only the boss can do it."

But this clearly doesn't seem like a prank by the boss.

So the person behind this is definitely not to be underestimated. "Where's the boss?" Xiao Qian looked around, as if she hadn't seen the boss since.

"Oh, something came up, I'm going back to City A," Shen Luo explained.

Xiaoqian muttered softly, "The boss has things to do sometimes?"

Cheng Mai lowered his eyes and didn't say anything more.

“The most important thing now is to find the soul.” Cheng Mai looked at Xiao Qian. “Go to the Yama’s Palace and ask Yama to send people to search. Fengcheng is only so big. If we send more people, even if we do a carpet search, we can find it in eight hours.”

Xiaoqian nodded and left.

"I'm going somewhere, you..."

“I have to follow you. The boss has ordered me to stay with you 24/7. You saw it yourself, the person behind you is probably stronger than me. Just consider it as me going with you to buy some time.” At this moment, Shen Luo didn’t dare to be arrogant. She even doubted whether the person behind her was as capable as the boss.

Cheng Mai thought about it for a moment, then left Xuantian Temple with Shen Luo without refusing.

The two arrived at the foot of the mountain and took a taxi. Cheng Mai gave them a location, which was very far away, on the edge of Fengcheng.

"The family of the worker who passed away a few days ago?" Shen Luo vaguely remembered, but couldn't quite recall.

"Okay, I'm going to find someone." Cheng Mai said, glancing at the time again, seemingly focused solely on this one thing.

Shen Luo didn't say much, but kept observing Cheng Mai with a half-smile. Ever since she said that the boss had returned to City A, she had been observing Cheng Mai.

However, Cheng Mai never showed any unusual emotions, which made her think that there was probably no hope for the boss to sell himself.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We'll know when we get there. I hope he's still there." Cheng Mai didn't say it explicitly, but leaned back in his chair and continued looking at the system Xiao Wang had developed. He also sent a large red envelope to Xiao Wang's team in the company's group chat.

The company's group chat has expanded from the initial twenty or thirty people to more than 300, all thanks to Shen Luo.

Since Cheng Mai didn't speak, Shen Luo didn't ask.

When they arrived at the village, unlike the bustling Fengcheng, the village was clearly dilapidated. Cheng Mai did not enter the village, but instead went into a small grove of trees on the side.

The sunlight was perfect, filtering through the leaves and dappling the ground.

Cheng Mai stepped on it one foot at a time, making a creaking sound.

Shen Luo became even more curious, "What are you looking for? Maybe I can help."

Cheng Mai walked to a large tree, looked up at the lush canopy, and patted the tree. "It's a good place. Do you have any camping gear in your storage bag?"

"Huh?" Shen Luo felt that she and Cheng Mai were like sisters, but what were sisters doing?
"I see that the merchant's Jian Qiankun bag has everything." But he even put his own home and his wife's house in there.

"Yes, I do," Shen Luo said, already taking it out. "But what do you want to do with it?"

"Camping, huh? I didn't realize?" Cheng Mai smiled slightly, and realized he was really taking camping seriously.

Shen Luo: "Otherwise, you should travel less with the boss in the future."

Otherwise, she worried that her best friend would also become someone with the same eccentric thought process as the boss.

As soon as Shen Luo finished speaking, he was struck by a bolt of lightning and instantly turned into a black-faced little bald bird. But it was only for a moment, and after providing some amusement, he returned to his original appearance.

"Go ahead and strike me if you dare, boss, come back and clean up this mess!" Shen Luo cursed unhappily, and amidst the rumbling thunder, he jumped unceremoniously to Cheng Mai's side.

Then the thunder stopped.
