The Psychic Girl

Chapter 131 Pato's Mission

This was the first time Ye Lianxi heard the voice of this female teacher. Such words that were considerate of her sounded even more pleasant to her ears!

Ye Lianxi immediately made a judgment, good man! This is definitely a good man! Many times better than Xuanjue!

"...Since Xinrong has said so, let's put her in solitary confinement for seven days! However! Make her copy the Lingsuyuan rules a hundred times in there! Let her reflect on herself!"

It seems that Kong E still values ​​Mu Xinrong's thoughts very much. This is the first time that Ye Lianxi has seen someone call him by his name in person, and he did not feel unhappy or disgusted at all.

[One…a hundred…times??????]

Ye Lianxi suddenly remembered the book with more than ninety pages filled with densely written words in the space token.

"Hey! Stop it!! Hey!! Let's discuss it again!!! Stop copying books! I am also fine with corporal punishment!"

……

It was already late autumn, and Ye Lianxi was lying flat on the straw mat on the wooden bed with her eyes closed, looking somewhat desolate.

There was nothing else in the small solitary confinement room except for the wooden bed and a simple coffee table and mat.

If she had known that Lingsu's confinement cell was so shabby, she would have rather stayed in the comfortable "cage" that Zhuge Wangshu prepared for her!

In some dimly lit rooms, apart from the light that comes in from outside for one or two hours a day, there is only the flickering candlelight on the coffee table. And if you listen carefully, you will find that the entire confinement room is so quiet that there is not even a breathing sound, as if there is no living person at all...

To be precise, there were indeed no living people, because at this moment Ye Lianxi's spirit had already returned to Fengdu in the spiritual world, and was sitting in her spirit pavilion with the city lord Pato. Now there was only a cold body left in the confinement room.

Although she was quite dissatisfied with copying the academy rules, being put in solitary confinement also gave her the time and opportunity to travel back and forth between the spirit world without being noticed.

"Girl, this matter is of great importance. I will make a request to the underworld. As for when I can be summoned by Hades, I cannot guarantee it. After all, the underworld is different from the spirit world. The situation there is more complicated, and Hades has not come forward to deal with affairs for a long time. But since it is the matter of Hades Pillar, I think Hades will definitely pay attention to it!

It's just right that you came back this time. I have something to talk to you about!"

Ye Lianxi sat cross-legged in the reception room on the second floor of the Spiritual Pavilion. Pato had ordered people to tidy up the place, making it brighter and cleaner.

"Find me?"

She leaned closer and noticed that Pato's face looked a little bad.

"A few days ago, the Spiritual Pavilion received a message asking for help. It was brought back by a spirit that escaped from the living world to the spirit world on behalf of Cang Shu."

Cangzhu? Ye Lianxi remembered that she had seen this name in the files of the Spiritual Pavilion.

He was the master of Tianxuan Palace nine hundred years ago, and was said to be the first person to establish the great alchemy master system.

During his lifetime, Cang Zhu wrote many books on alchemy, which were regarded as the golden rule by later generations, and even the reprinted copies were hard to come by.

Such a legendary figure, he finally died at the hands of his own disciple! It was really unfair! So after his death, his spirit body was unwilling to enter the spirit world to reincarnate and transcend, and for hundreds of years he has been floating in the world of the living, wandering in the human world.

"Because Cang Shu was relatively peaceful in the first few hundred years, and at that time all the psychics disappeared inexplicably, leaving only Sai Ya, and the spiritual world was in chaos, so no one had time to take care of him, so he was left outside. Later, the previous Lord of Fengdu City was killed by an evil spirit, and I took office in a hurry without any handover, so I forgot about him!

Originally, if all spirits did not return to the spirit world, they would become weaker and weaker until they disappeared over time. However, it has been eight or nine hundred years. Who would have thought that not only did he not become weaker and disappear, but he also found the descendant of the apprentice who killed him.

Perhaps it was out of revenge, for the past three hundred years, Cang Shu has been harassing the families of his apprentice's descendants, looking for a suitable host among them.

Hearing this, Ye Lianxi frowned slightly. If ordinary spirits want to continue to exist in the living world without dying, they must find a suitable container, that is, a host. But they are usually inanimate objects, and she only knew that they could use humans as hosts.

"Can a living person be a host?"

Seeing Ye Lianxi's confused look, Pato shook his head. It seemed that Sai Ya still had a lot of things to tell her.

"Ordinary spirits won't work, but if it's like Cangzhu, who tried too many exotic herbs and fruits during his lifetime, by chance, his spirit became a "medicine" after his death. Once a spirit becomes a medicine, it can reside in the body of a living person and occupy the body and consciousness of the original living person.

For some reason, the evil spirits that escaped from the underworld seem to have targeted him recently. Although he doesn't want to be captured and taken back to the spirit world, he is more afraid of being eaten by the evil spirits, so he thought of asking the spirit world for help!

"Medicine" can control people, but it can also be controlled. What I am worried about now is that if the evil spirits get hold of Atractylodes, they may use it as "medicine" to control the living people in the living world. If this is the case, and it involves matters of the underworld, then it will be a big disaster!"

Pato stroked his mustache as he spoke, thinking. If Cang Shu was caught and the evil spirit succeeded, he would be the first one to be held responsible. After all, it was because he did not fulfill his duty as the city lord that a special spirit like Cang Shu was allowed to wander around in the living world for nine hundred years.

"Oh... I see! You are afraid that Hades will punish you if he finds out, so you want me to protect Cang Shu and stop those evil spirits from capturing him, right?"

Ye Lianxi immediately saw the clue from Pato's cunning eyes, propped up her cheek and looked at the old man, with a knowing smirk on her face. Pato was a little scared by her stare, and knocked her head and scolded.

"You girl! How come you are so smart after returning to the living world! You must have learned bad things from the living! As the only psychic on the continent now, you are the only one I can count on! Besides, don't you still have a contracted spirit?

Cang Shu is now in Yancheng outside the Huoyan area. You can tell him that if he is willing to become your contracted spirit, I can promise that the spirit world will never catch him again!"

Putting down her legs that had been sitting cross-legged, Ye Lianxi's face showed a hint of joy and excitement.

"Fat old man! You said that!!"

……

In the cold confinement room, it was still chilly even at noon. Ye Lianxi ate up the basket of food that Gong Yimian had brought her, and then wrapped herself in the thick quilt that he had brought her. Today was already the third day of her confinement.

"Since you have sent the letter back, why didn't you ask Master to send some spiritual stones over?

Didn’t we agree that you would redeem my Kuiyu Blood Ring after we settle down in Lingsu? A-choo! "
