Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 677 Earthbound Spirit

When they were tired, they would take a rest. The two of them would sit together, hugging each other, without saying much, listening quietly to the sound of continuous rain outside the window.

Such time is quiet and beautiful.

They didn't stay in this spiritual city for too long. After a few days, they went to other cities as they had a lot of things to do.

In addition, the forces on the border are also ready to move, so we have to strengthen our defense measures and make more preparations for future wars. The recruitment of troops and food cannot be delayed.

All Si He could do was to make more talismans, guard the rear of the Xie Dou team, and be prepared for support.

Fortunately, those ambitious forces are all talk and no action, and have not yet taken the initiative to launch an attack.

As autumn turned to winter, the brief truce gave them time to improve the defense measures in various parts of their territory.

During this period, Si He also refined some longevity pills and traded with the major families in charge of food and fodder, which greatly alleviated the pressure on military supplies.

As for Yue Fuli's dream, he seemed to have temporarily put it behind his mind, and he had not had such a strange dream recently.

However, when they arrived at the border of Qingzhou, Si He took a few Taoists to a desolate place.

This place is not far from the camp, only a few dozen miles away. It doesn’t take much time to go back and forth by carriage.

Si He took his men out without disturbing Yue Fuli, but just reported to him.

The desolate wilderness she went to was a place she passed by on her way to escape. She was in danger there and was rescued by a female ghost in red.

She had almost forgotten about this matter, but recently she came to a nearby city and past memories surfaced in her mind, and she thought of the female ghost who had saved her.

Although she had thanked him at that time, it was still too little to show her gratitude for saving her life, and she had to do something more.

If the female ghost is still there, we should perform rituals to liberate her and allow her to be reborn soon.

Judging from the original situation, this female ghost should be an earthbound spirit.

Earthbound spirits are the souls of people who are bound to a certain place after death, whose range of activities is restricted. These souls often have resentment that cannot be resolved, and thus become evil spirits.

This type of evil spirit generally does not hurt people for no reason.

The earthbound spirits of those who died suddenly will wander around aimlessly in the same place.

Because the earthbound spirits themselves are filled with too much worries and resentment, they may sometimes think that they have not passed away and will retain some of their previous habits and routines.

Si He was so lucky to be saved by this earthbound spirit. Perhaps it was because what she experienced at that time was related to the injustice or tragedy that the earthbound spirit had suffered in his life, so he saved her and killed those two people with ulterior motives.

Now, after so many years, it is a bit troublesome to help it get rid of it.

Generally speaking, this earthbound spirit remains in the world because it suffered grievances in its previous life and has unresolved emotional issues.

It would be a bit troublesome to help it fulfill its wish.

So Si He brought a few senior Taoist priests to try to help it get rid of the evil. If possible, they would perform a ritual on the spot to help it reincarnate.

Si He sat in the carriage, and the guards drove towards the desolate mountains and hills according to the approximate direction she gave.

Along the way, we rarely encountered people who chose to flee famine, because wars had been frequent in recent years, and the people in this border area who could escape had fled elsewhere.

The weather today is a bit gloomy, and the sun is hidden in thick clouds most of the time.

Si He lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window. She still had a vague impression. Perhaps it was because she was fleeing at that time, walking step by step and having to constantly identify the direction, so her memory was more profound.

At this time, the cold wind was howling like a hungry wild dog, howling softly in the desolate wilderness.

The biting cold wind was overwhelming, like an invisible sharp thin blade, piercing the face directly, and could penetrate thick clothes. Every gap in the clothes became its channel, the collar, cuffs or hem, the coldness was like cunning mercury, penetrating every pore.

The guards outside rode their horses. Although they were wearing gloves, their hands were numb, their faces were red from the cold, and their breath was foggy. Every time they inhaled, the icy wind was inhaled into their lungs, which brought an indescribable feeling of suffocation.

It’s really cold today!

Fortunately, it didn't snow today, so it wasn't too difficult to travel. They were already used to such bad weather.

In comparison, Si He is better adapted to the cold than them.

In this extremely cold weather, her body also had its own protection mechanism. Although the evil spirit in her body did not leak out at all, her complexion was paler than usual and her body temperature also dropped a lot.

After all, she has the physique of a living dead, and in this freezing temperature, she only feels a little cold.

To be more precise, maybe the feeling is only one-third of the coldness of an ordinary person?

The carriage drove along the snowy path, and when the wheels rolled over the white snow, they made a heavy and astringent "creaking" sound.

The handsome horse in front of the carriage had a layer of frost on its mane, and every breath it took spewed out a large cloud of thick white mist.

The cold wind blew, picking up some snow powder on the ground and making it fly all over the sky.

It was a long time before they arrived at the forest that Si He had mentioned.

When the carriage stopped, it was still a little far from the forest, but there was no road ahead and the carriage could not pass, so they could only ride on horseback.

Si He looked at the sky. It was fine, but there was still no sun.

She got out of the carriage, carrying a small stove.

Although she is now more resistant to cold than ordinary people, excessive cold will make the abnormalities in her body more obvious. Her face is already pale enough at this time. If she does not keep warm, she may soon look like a dead person, which will scare people.

As soon as I got off the carriage, the cold became even worse and the wind was biting.

Si He gathered her large and thick cloak and even put on her hat to cover her head, which only then could she slightly block the raging cold wind.

The Taoist priests who were accompanying them were so cold that their bodies were a little stiff. They really didn't understand why they were performing rituals in such cold weather?

But no one dared to say anything. They looked at Si He silently and saw her staring at the mountains and forests ahead with a complicated look.

The mountain forest in the cold winter is covered with white snow, like a pale face, lifeless.

The wind blew through the forest, blowing up the dry snow dust on the treetops, and the exposed branches looked like twisted and dry ghost claws.

Some of the sparse trees had branches that were a dead gray-black, and their bark had been frozen and cracked, like ugly, curled wounds.

"Let's go."

As soon as Si He finished speaking, she jumped up and flew into the forest lightly and quickly.

Except for a few guards who stayed behind, everyone else followed her, moving with lightness skills like her.

This made life difficult for the Taoist priests who were accompanying them. They were good at exorcising evil spirits and performing rituals, but their martial arts skills were not good!

After all, not every Taoist can practice the martial arts of Qinggong. It depends on talent and opportunity. Not everyone can learn Qinggong.
