Yubaba looked at the mirror and said, "This... This is the Jupo Mirror."

"My master also had one back then. It was used to summon souls. It could absorb the souls to be sacrificed and then reveal what it was looking for. This... This must have been put in the box on purpose by Mo Li."

Second Grandfather: "Ah? Isn't that a clear trap for us? Mo Qing, you can't use this mirror, or you will fall into her trap."

Even though she knew it was a trap, Wang Jiaotong's situation was urgent and there was no other way: "There is no time to think about it. Even if it is a trap, I can only give it a try."

Shen Moqing took out the mirror: "Grandma Tang, how do I use this mirror?"

Yubaba was still a little hesitant.

"Yubaba, I have made up my mind, just tell me."

Seeing that Shen Moqing didn't even care about his own safety for Wang Jiaotong, the second grandfather beside him felt very upset: "Hey! You kid, why don't you listen to my advice!"

Yubaba: "Just pray silently in front of the mirror, offer your soul to the mirror, and then find the soul's place to rest... Be careful, Mo Qing. If a living person loses his soul, he will feel weak at best, or even endanger his life."

"I understand." Shen Moqing put the mirror on the stage: "Sacrifice the soul to the mirror, and find the soul's place to rest..." Other images appeared in the mirror.

"I feel weak all over." The moment the picture appeared, Shen Moqing felt something leaving his body.

"Your purifying spirit has just been taken away. Without this spirit, the human body will become weak."

The second grandfather asked anxiously: "What should I do? Can I return it?"

Shen Moqing propped himself up and said, "It's okay, I can still walk." But his words were weak.

"What is reflected in the mirror is the candle on the stage opposite the altar. I have to go get it." Shen Moqing forced himself to move.

"Mo Qing! What is this matter..."

"Candle...candle...there's nothing!" Suddenly the puppet next to him started beating the instrument in his hand.

Shen Moqing was shocked: "How come these puppets moved by themselves!" He suddenly realized: "Is this also a mechanism? Can striking this cloud gong drive the puppets to play in unison?" Shen Moqing tried to strike it and indeed, the sound of the mechanism being activated was heard.

"The puppet dancer is on stage, and what he's holding is... a candle?! Great." Shen Moqing hurriedly returned to Tangbaba with the candle. When Second Grandpa saw Shen Moqing coming, he started shouting, "Moqing! You're finally back, come over here and take a look, she doesn't seem right."

Hearing what Second Grandfather said, Shen Moqing immediately checked on Wang Jiaotong: "Why did you suddenly become so haggard?"

Granny Yuba said, "I'm afraid the soul has been taken too far, to a darker place, and the yang energy can no longer be maintained, so the vitality of life will be gone."

"Tongtong..."

The second grandfather suddenly noticed the scar on Wang Jiaotong's hand and asked, "What's the matter with this scar on her hand? Is it the reason for the loss of Yang Qi?"

"No, this scar was left by Tongtong when she saved me. I slipped while climbing up, and she cut a big wound on my wrist while trying to hold on to me. The blood kept flowing but she didn't let go. By the time passersby pulled me up, Tongtong was almost unconscious..."

"Qingqing!!!" Wang Jiaotong grabbed Shen Moqing's wrist at the critical moment.

"Qingqing... hold on to me tight..." Wang Jiaotong pulled Shen Moqing with great effort. Blood flowed from her scratched wrist and flowed down her hand into Shen Moqing's hand.

"You'll get hurt too if you pull me like this."

"I don't care, you can't let go! I will definitely rescue you out! I will definitely rescue you out!" Wang Jiaotong pulled with all her strength and never let go.

"What a good girl." Yubaba exclaimed.

"This...this granddaughter-in-law...is a better person than she looks..." At this moment, the second grandfather agreed with her.

"Tongtong is actually stronger than me at heart." Although Wang Jiaotong looks spoiled and prone to temper tantrums, Shen Moqing knows that her inner strength is no less than that of others. In his eyes, she has always been the shining one.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have to hurry." Shen Moqing placed the mirror on the altar again: "Sacrifice the soul to the mirror, and find the soul's place to rest." After saying this, his eyes went dark and he almost fell down.

"Mo Qing Mo Qing! Are you okay? Where do you feel uncomfortable this time?" Second Grandfather immediately supported him.

Shen Moqing slowed down: "My eyes...my eyes can't see clearly anymore."

Yubaba: "This is Fushi's lost soul. Without this soul, I feel like I'm not very smart anymore."

"It doesn't matter. This time what is reflected in the mirror is the pair of jade hairpins from before. That's great. We don't have to waste time looking for them." Shen Moqing placed the jade hairpins on the table.

"Sacrifice the soul to the mirror, and find the soul to rely on..." After reading it, Shen Moqing felt tinnitus and could not hear anything: "Hmm..." Shen Moqing forced himself to listen. He seemed to hear Second Grandpa asking what was wrong again. After a while, maybe because he slowed down, Tangbaba's voice could be barely heard, but it sounded very vague: "This is the corpse dog soul gone, I don't know if he can still hear."

"I'm fine... In the mirror, there's the wooden sign hanging on the tree on the top of the mountain. I'll go there right away..." But he fell down just after taking a step forward.

"Mo Qing Mo Qing! What's wrong with you? Don't scare Second Grandpa." Second Grandpa supported him worriedly. Shen Mo Qing slowly straightened up. Even so, he said that he was fine: "I just didn't stand steadily for a moment."

Shen Moqing climbed up the cliff but lost his grip and fell down.

"Moqing, why did you fall? Are you hurt?" Second Grandpa looked at Shen Moqing anxiously to see if he had any injuries.

Shen Moqing pretended nothing happened: "I just dropped it accidentally." Then he continued to climb, but fell down again halfway up.

Seeing him like this, Tangbaba felt bad: "Mo Qing, you are missing three souls, so you can't show off your strength."

"There is no other way to go up the mountain. I can climb up..." Shen Moqing began to try to climb up again.

“Oh, if you didn’t save the person, you would have fallen to death.” Second Grandpa had just finished speaking when Shen Moqing slipped down again: “Don’t climb anymore…” Second Grandpa had tears in his eyes when he saw how miserable he was.

"It's okay...Tongtong is still waiting for me." Even though he fell down again and again, Shen Moqing never thought of giving up. Thinking of every little detail with Wang Jiaotong in his mind -

[“Hello, my name is Wang Jiaotong.”

"My name is Shen Moqing."

"Why are you so easily shy..."

"Tongtong, this bag...I hope you like it!"

"Although it's not a card game, it's quite a design, so I'll just accept it reluctantly!"

"Tongtong, do you think I'm too stupid and cowardly? That's why I let go of my ex-girlfriend..."

"That's because she's blind and doesn't understand how good you are! Stupid man, you're at a disadvantage by being with her!"

"It's just an all-nighter. Don't worry about me."

"Who... who is worried about you, stupid man, just drink the chicken soup in the kitchen by yourself!"

"Tongtong, let go."

"Shut up! Stupid man, don't let go!"]

Finally, he climbed to the top edge without realizing it: "Tongtong, I will not let go this time! Wait for me..."

After a difficult climb, I finally reached the top of the slope, took off the wooden sign, and slowly slid down to the ground.

Shen Moqing placed the last item on the altar: "Everything is finally ready, Granny Tang, can I recite the spell now?"

"Yes, seventy-seven and forty-nine times. That's what the book says. I hope nothing goes wrong again."

"The soul returns to heaven and earth, please let the soul return to the body... cough cough cough."

"Mo Qing, are you okay? Don't force yourself."

"I'm fine... cough cough cough..."

"You're still okay? You've almost lost half your life!"

"Tongtong will be rescued soon. It's none of my business - cough cough cough..." Shen Moqing's eyes were extremely firm despite his haggard face.

"You've been coughing like this, you'll die if you keep going like this! No, you can't go on!" Second Grandpa held Shen Moqing down to stop him from continuing: "You've done the best you can!"

"Second Grandpa, let me go--" Shen Moqing wanted to struggle away, and suddenly a familiar voice came: "Qingqing, what's going on? Why am I here? Are you hurt?"

"Tongtong! Are you awake? Isn't it not finished yet?"

"It's okay as long as he wakes up, it's okay as long as he wakes up!" Second Grandfather was so excited, "Mo Qing doesn't have to chant any spells or sacrifice his soul anymore! Oh!" Second Grandfather breathed a sigh of relief.
