mbarrassed about. After all, it's a matter of your own sexual well-being. I also have drugs here that can increase length and girth, and delay ejaculation—""No!" I shouted, my face burning with anger....Those two grayish clumps seemed to be wriggling. Upon closer inspection, they slowly morphed into humanoid shapes.

Out-of-body experience

This soul has completely left the body, and if it doesn't return quickly, it will be fatal.

"It's already been eaten by me... But just as it went down, I'll give it to you... It all depends on whether you can bring it back..." the giant snake hissed.

I took out the talismans for appeasing souls and warding off evil spirits, but I didn't know the names of this couple. I could only glance at Jiang Qiyun and ask him for help.

Jiang Qiyun was not ambiguous. With one hand hidden in his sleeve, he pinched a formula. A gust of wind swirled around, passing over the forest in front of the mountain gate and rustling the leaves.

"This is a place where demons are subdued, underworld officials won't come here. You go to the mountain gate and write talismans." Jiang Qiyun instructed me.

"Good." I immediately grabbed the vine and climbed up.

The mountain gate was like a barrier, blocking out the moonlight. The ancient key Lingxuzi had given me was worn and weathered. I pushed aside the vines and after searching for half a day, found a lock on the side door.

The lock was archaic in design, heavy and cold to the touch.

The keyhole was blocked by some dirt. I struck it a few times with force, and finally managed to insert the key smoothly and turn the lock.

Inside the mountain gate, the doors were closed and barred. Outside, there was only an ordinary brick wall made of mud, unremarkable.

"Little Miss!" A familiar voice rang out. Under a large acacia tree outside the mountain gate, Ah Da and Ah Meng excitedly waved at me.

The moment the gateway to the underworld opened, I saw them. I couldn't believe they had truly restored their true forms.

"Are you okay!" I exclaimed, a mixture of relief and astonishment.

"Hee hee... A near death experience brings good fortune, and besides, we've worked hard for you, big rewards and hardships alike, like this..."

Again I looked closely, and sure enough, their clothes had changed again.

Before, they wore simple robes and short tunics, the attire of common officials. Now, they have a sleeveless outer robe, making them look like minor officials indeed.

This is another promotion, isn't it

"Little Lady, you came out shrouded in moonlight, just like a fairy, hehehe." Ameng flattered her, and A-Da hurriedly brought forward a rolled-up scroll.

This guy, after getting promoted, still knows how to flatter people

"What is this" I picked it up to have a look.

“Now that we've been promoted, we can follow the script. This is a record of life and death, made by the city god himself for his chief clerk. You just need to bring the soul into the book, and you can check their lifespan… Of course, it only checks a simple part. There are too many people in the world…” Amo murmured softly.

"Is this a new spell being developed in the Underworld" I picked up the scroll and unfurled it a bit, discovering a hidden message within.

Just like an invisible writing scroll that only reveals its contents when touched by water, this scroll uses magic to conceal many things. You can't see the names or biographical information of the person it belongs to.

But if a soul possesses it, one can see the life described on the Book of Life.

"But how do I bring the soul onto the surface" I frowned. "I can perform a ritual for its passing, but I'm not familiar with summoning techniques..."

"Here we are, the two of us! We've been hard at work training our soul-summoning skills since we came back to life!"

Really Really

"You just need to be responsible for summoning the souls, and we will guide them into the Book of Life and Death."

"Can it even bring back the soul" I asked nervously.

"Of course, the souls of the dead can't return. They were taken to the underworld; for living souls, they would need a living person, a shaman, to use their summoning rituals." A Meng said seriously.

I nodded, closed the scroll, and retreated back to the courtyard.

In just these few minutes of conversation, the life force of the man and woman had transformed from blurry figures into gradually clearer images.

Jiang Qiyun cannot interfere with worldly causes at will, and he intentionally trained me. I don't want to disappoint his efforts.

Over the past few years, I have been researching and practicing the talismans and incantations of the Shen family. The Shen family's magical practices primarily focus on exorcism and purification using thunder techniques, while rituals for guiding souls are conducted through altar setup and talisman drawing.

To make things easier and faster, they also evolved some simple devices and talismans.

I laid two empty altar talismans, placed according to the directions of the Ghost Gate under a big tree trunk.

The faint smell of incense attracted two lost souls drifting over here, the fat man truly floated "over" with his limbs dangling in mid-air.

It seems that in the passageway, he must have walked into a trap and been pulled out by the spirit of the giant serpent, his body should still be in the passageway.

And that woman ran away right in front of me, dropping a high heel at the well's edge. Her body must be somewhere in this courtyard covered by vines.

Souls whisper, all entering the cycle of reincarnation.

》》》

A soul drifted over, and I silently recited the summoning incantation of the Shen family. The small talisman on the ground lit up, drawing the soul in. Just as it was about to be liberated, a chain flew in from outside the side door, ensnaring the two souls.

I was busy spreading out the scroll before the spirit, and two lines of text appeared on it: Liu Feifei, born in the Jiazi year, Ren Shen month, Xin Mao day, XX years old...

This woman hasn't reached her lifespan yet...

"Oh my, little lady, this is called meeting a lucky person! If she hadn't met you, would she even have a lifespan Look at the man's name! I'll have to use more force, or she'll really be arrested!" A-Meng's voice rang out from outside.

I hastily passed the scroll through that fat man's soul, and his name immediately appeared on it: Zhang Zhonglun.

The method of calling a soul is common in monastic, Taoist and secular practices. It is generally more effective when assisted by someone familiar and close to the deceased.

Given the current limitations, I pulled out my portable pen and wrote down both their names on a talisman. I shouted loudly, “Liu Feifei!”

That woman's soul suddenly raised her head, startling me.

She... her makeup was too heavy. Under this grayish-white light, her red lips looked frightening.

"Come back, soul…" I led her to the well in the side courtyard.

A soft chuckle echoed from outside the mountain gate.

I looked up, and Adai and Ameng didn't dare to come in, but they lay on the door panel peering at me, while slowly loosening their soul-hook.

What are you laughing at

"……Your Highness, is that how you summon souls So quietly"

What are you doing Are you really going to "shout"

"Liu Feifei! Soul, return!" I raised my voice and shouted.

That soul suddenly jolted, the little ghost messenger's chains loosened, and she lunged forward.

When the soul leaves the body, the spirit remains attached to the dwelling. If the soul departs for too long, the spirit gradually fades away. That's why we say "soul flies and spirit scatters".

Liu Feifei's spirit rushed towards me, I dodged, and she drifted toward the dry well.

In the dark corner, there was actually a treehole. The bricks were cracked and collapsed by the roots, forming a pit where her body lay.

I came after her with a flashlight, struggling to drag her out of the hole. Her hair was tangled with a few bones, but her body was still warm.

I placed the summoning talisman on her head and rubbed my hands together to warm them before pressing them onto her .

Here, separated from the main hall by a courtyard wall, as I was busy, I vaguely heard a hoarse voice saying: "…rare, rare…"

Rare Rare what

I looked around, but it was pitch black. Was the giant serpent speaking to Jiang Qiyun, or was it speaking to me

Before I could figure out what was happening, a sudden tightening sensation gripped my wrist, accompanied by a sharp pain —

"Ouch!!" I cried out in pain.

Then Liu Feifei suddenly grabbed my wrist, her nails almost digging into my flesh! behind the statue, and in the mist, two eyes! Recently, my husband has been in two car accidents. We were planning to have a second child, but last month we had a miscarriage again. This is the secon...
