There's always someone trying to kidnap the beast

The memory stopped at the moment when Xiao Lingguang put on the bracelet.

Ling Guang's eyes that had been in a trance for a moment because of receiving the memories became clear again, and he slowly clenched his right hand holding the broken bracelet.

From the only memory he had, it seemed that his sibling brother really cared about him, and it was no wonder that he was instinctively sad when he heard the news of his death.

He let out a breath and put away the bracelet.

only……

Ling Guang raised his eyes to look in the direction of the child's house, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Jian Bin's completely different attitude towards the two brothers at that time, Ling Guang faintly felt that he seemed to understand something.

After thinking about it for a while, Ling Guang packed up his mood and walked back.

When he returned to the child's home, there were already several people in his home.

Bai Ze was standing next to the child with a red jade pendant, Meng Zhang and Zhi Ming were listening to each other, and Jian Bin was sitting at the door of the room playing grass.

As soon as Ling Guang came back, everyone's eyes were on him.

He paused when he stepped into the courtyard door, then silently took it back, and said, "Since you have something to do, I'll go first."

This feeling of being scrutinized really made him uncomfortable, and he turned around to leave after speaking.

Before he could turn around, he saw Jian Bin jumped up and said in a panic, "Don't, don't! We're waiting for you to come back, don't go, Ling Guangguang!"

Ling Guang's footsteps stopped again, Jian Bin hurried over and grabbed his sleeve and dragged him back to the house.

Ling Guang just entered the room when he saw Bai Ze walking over with no expression on his face.He subconsciously wanted to back up, but when he just raised the heel of his left foot, he quietly put it down again.

Fortunately, Bai Ze only returned the red jade pendant when he came over.

After Ling Guang received it, he put it away casually, and heard Bai Ze say: "Now the remnant soul stays in the child's body, the only way is to use the method of stripping the soul to strip it out."

"The method of stripping the soul?"

It was the first time Ling Guang heard this word after waking up.

Jian Bin explained: "The method of stripping the soul is to use spells to attract the soul from the body and then peel it off. It's just that in the process, the soul stripped will suffer extraordinary pain, so it is actually listed as a taboo." technique."

Hearing this, Ling Guang glanced at the thin and frail child, and said, "With his small body, he can't bear it, right?"

Jian Bin sighed softly, and replied: "That's right. And according to what we just learned, this child has no father and no mother, and he grew up eating a lot of food."

What a poor child.

Ling Guang didn't think he was an overly selfish person, and he couldn't do the thing of letting this child suffer the pain of soul stripping.

He looked at the child with a troubled expression.

The child seemed to be aware of Ling Guang's gaze, and looked at him fixedly, stepped forward and said, "I, I'm not afraid of pain."

The child's gaze was firm, but his trembling body still revealed his true inner thoughts.

Even if he was really not afraid, Ling Guang had no such plan, so he ignored him.

And Meng Zhang walked up to the child and patted him on the shoulder, saying gently: "Don't worry, we won't let you suffer the pain you shouldn't have to bear."

Ling Guang also said: "After all, there is a solution, and you don't need to make such unnecessary sacrifices."

"Actually," Bai Ze interrupted suddenly, "there is indeed a way to keep children from suffering."

Ling Guang shifted his gaze to Bai Ze, and said, "Then you didn't say it just now?"

Bai Ze remained suspicious for a while, and then said calmly, "I just remembered."

Bai Ze is one of the rare beasts in Xianyun Mountain who loves all kinds of ancient books. He has read countless books for hundreds of years, and it is normal to forget them occasionally.

Although Ling Guang didn't know this, he had no reason to blame him, and asked, "So what method are you talking about?"

Bai Ze glanced at Jian Bincai and said, "Since the remnant soul to be stripped from the child belongs to you, there are two stripping methods. One is conventional and will cause pain to the child. An unconventional method is to take out your own soul alone. But if this is the case, you will have to suffer double the pain."

That is to say, no matter which one, someone needs to be overwhelmed with pain.

"Then the second one."

Ling Guang said indifferently.

As a member of the Phoenix family, every hundred years (note) you have to go through a fire bath ceremony, and your luck and mana will form a thin shield around your body, and then you will stay in the raging flames for seven to 49 days. Feel the burning sensation of fire.Therefore, the Phoenix Clan's ability to endure pain cannot be underestimated.

Different races have different customs. Jian Bin didn't know about the Phoenix clan, so he frowned and asked worriedly: "Double pain is not just talking, Ling Guang, you..."

Ling Guang interrupted Jian Bin and said, "No problem. So when will it start?"

When he spoke the second half of the sentence, he once again met Bai Ze's light-colored eyes.

Bai Ze turned around to confirm the child's current situation, and said: "As long as you want, you can do it anytime. And I have found a way to return the soul. If you don't mind, you can do both at the same time, which may relieve some pain."

Ling Guang shrugged and replied: "I don't care. Start early and finish early, so let's do it now."

Immediately afterwards, Ling Guang saw Bai Ze nodded lightly, his right hand slightly opened, and a staff made of unicorn bones appeared in his hand after a while.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, all things have attributes.It's just that Ling Guang still can't see through what Bai Ze belongs to.

Bai Ze took the child with one hand and said to Ling Guang, "Follow me into the room."

Ling Guang nodded and followed him into a room on the left.

Before turning around, Jian Bin grabbed his sleeve again.

Ling Guang raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Jian Bin hurriedly let go, and said in a low voice: "Cough, subconsciously. You...you can call me if you can't take it anymore."

Ling Guang laughed and said, "Why did I call you? Could it be that you can still share the burden for me?"

After speaking, he drew back his sleeves, turned around and went in.

The child's room is very poorly furnished, with only a small wooden bed and three or two small wooden stools.

The small wooden bed is really small, it can only sleep one person, and the child has no place to lie down on it under Bai Ze's order.

Ling Guang didn't say much, he picked up a wooden stool and sat on the wall next to the bed.

Bai Ze has read a lot of books and knows the habits of the Phoenix Clan, but he still couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said: "If you can't stand it later, you can call it out, I have set up a sound-proof barrier."

Ling Guang didn't like to explain, so he said indifferently: "It's nothing, you can start now."

Bai Ze understood Ling Guang's arrogant and aggressive nature, so although he felt helpless, he still nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing that Bai Ze was about to start, Ling Guang naturally relaxed and leaned against the wall, with his left hand hidden in his wide sleeve, secretly summoning a small ball of sparks.

Bai Ze closed his eyes, and murmured a long series of incantations in a low voice.

Dots of white light glowed under the child's body, and the white light gradually entangled together, like a curtain surrounding the child.

The white light was very soft, so Ling Guang looked sideways without any scruples.

The first step is to find the specific location of the remnant soul, during which Ling Guang will not feel anything.

The child's body was not that big after all, and Bai Ze found the remnant soul easily.He hesitated for a while, and then summoned his mana to grab the remnant soul who was trying to escape.

The remnant soul began to struggle the moment it was restrained, and the time difference could be completely ignored in the process.

Unexpectedly, a tearing pain came from his body. Ling Guang clenched his left hand tightly, trying to relieve the discomfort in his body with the external sensation of burning.

His lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there seemed to be thin and dense cold sweat breaking out from his forehead.

Remnant souls generally also have spirituality and individuality. For example, the strand in the child's body this time is full of personality. It is bound by Bai Ze's mana and is unwilling to be forcibly removed, struggling desperately.

And the more it struggles, the more pain Ling Guang endures, and the test for Bai Ze is the same.

Ling Guang secretly clenched the small fireball in his left hand, almost numb the pain in his palm.If it wasn't for the fact that this remnant soul came from him, and it wasn't a real entity, he really wanted to catch it afterwards and beat it up.

When it was finally peeled off, Ling Guang's lips were almost bloodless, and his brows were tightly knit together.It's just that he didn't even make a muffled grunt from the beginning to the end.

The soul has been drawn out, so the next step should be returning to its place.

Since he forgot to tell Ling Guang to take out the red jade pendant earlier, Bai Ze could only whisper: "Ling Guang, take out the jade pendant."

At this moment, Ling Guang only felt that something was stirring and tearing inside his body, and there seemed to be something neighing crazily in his ears, and he could only hear the broken "light", "wear", and "come out".

At first he was confused, but at least he was conscious, and it didn't take long for him to guess that he was going to take the jade pendant.

Ling Guang tremblingly raised his good right hand, and struggled for a long time to pull out the suddenly hot red jade pendant.

Bai Ze saw the right time and pulled out the strand of remnant soul from the jade pendant—perhaps because he stayed by Ling Guang's side for a long time, this strand was much quieter and did not struggle, but it didn't add any extra pain to Ling Guang.

Then, Bai Ze opened his left hand that was not holding the stick, and then quickly made a closing gesture, and the two strands of remnant souls merged into one.

Ling Guang watched as Bai Ze picked up the bone staff and slowly sent the combined remnant soul into his body.

At this moment, Ling Guang suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat.He swallowed forcefully, but blood still poured into his mouth and slid down the corner of his mouth.

On the other side, Bai Ze, feeling the resistance, raised his eyes and saw that Ling Guang was holding back vomiting blood. He was startled, and quickly sent the remnant soul back to the red jade pendant.

The two mutually repelling forces in the body and the outside suddenly disappeared, and Ling Guang couldn't control it for a while, and fell from the already narrow stool.

He knelt down on one knee, propping the ground with one hand, and finally couldn't restrain the blood in his throat, and spat it out in one gulp.

"Lingguang!"

Bai Ze removed the barrier when sending the remnant soul back, and Jian Bin, who was guarding the door, rushed in when he heard the commotion.

Seeing this, Bai Ze, who was just about to go, took back his step.

Ling Guang took a few breaths, regained his composure, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said weakly, "It's okay, just vomit blood, I can't die."

He shook off Jian Bin's hand, propped his left hand against the wall, stood up slowly enduring the pain from his palm, glanced at the unconscious child on the bed, and asked feebly, "How is he?"

Bai Ze said: "The child is fine, just go to bed and it will be fine."

Ling Guang nodded, raised his leg and wanted to leave, but almost fell due to dizziness.

Jian Bin stretched out his hand to support him, but Ling Guang, who was aware of it in advance, firmly refused.He just stood by Ling Guang's sleeves, afraid that something might happen to him.
