CH 81.1

When Lou Ming was sent back to the small Lou courtyard, Minister Lou, Master Mao and Lou Ming’s exclusive medical team were already there, waiting when they got the news. After some fine examination, the doctor confirmed that Lou Ming had no other injuries except for physical fatigue. Only then did Minister Lou breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when he turned around and saw Chen Yu, who had been guarding the door, he still unconsciously frowned. Although she sealed Lou Ming’s rioting evil spirit several times, in the past six months, several of Lou Ming’s accidents were also caused by her.

When they were in Pingcheng, Master Mao repeatedly warned Lou Ming that before they found a way to solve his evil spirit, he should never leave the courtyard again.

Lou Ming obviously knew everything and had always had good self-discipline. Surprisingly, he made repeated exceptions for Chen Yu.

“Uncle Lou?” Finding Minister Lou sizing her up, Chen Yu turned her head in bafflement.

“You” Minister Lou was about to say something, when Master Mao suddenly emerged from Lou Ming’s room. Minister Lou immediately stopped whatever he wanted to say to Chen Yu, and turned to ask Master Mao, “How is Lou Ming?”

“Very well.” Instead of anxiety, Master Mao’s face was full of joy.

“How do you say so?” Minister Lou’s heart skipped a beat.

“Instead of increasing, the evil qi in Lou Ming’s body has lessened. This is the first time in so many years.” Master Mao said excitedly, “As expected of Perfected Lou He; a master is indeed a master.”

Minister Lou was also ecstatic to hear this.

“Can I go in and see Third Brother now?” Chen Yu was also happy to hear Master Mao’s diagnosis. However, at this time, she wanted to go in to see Lou Ming more. Just now, because there was a doctor examining Lou Ming inside, Chen Yu hadn’t been able to find the opportunity to enter.

“Go ahead,” Master Mao said and gave way to let Chen Yu in.

Minister Lou also made no objection. He still had something to ask Master Mao, so the two of them went downstairs together. Then in the living room on the first floor, they saw Elder Wu who was fiddling with something.

“Perfected Lou He!” Although Master Mao had long known that Elder Wu was in the capital, this was still the first time he met him. Seeing the legendary figure of the Metaphysical world, Master Mao, who had encountered various people in the society, could not help but be a little excited.

Elder Wu raised his head and saw the two people who came by, nodded very casually, and after saying hello, he continued to lower his head and fiddle with what he was holding.

“Is this a universal compass?” Master Mao had long heard that when Perfected Lou He wandered in the Jianghu in his early years, he had two ** treasures; one was a universal compass and the other was a Soul Summoning Bell. After Master Mao spoke, he glanced at the bell that was randomly left aside, and a golden gleam glinted in his eyes.

Elder Wu reinstalled the disassembled disk, and then turned it gently. After a crisp click, the compass hummed in his palm, and then began to absorb spirit qi around.

“How is Lou Ming?” After fixing the compass, Elder Wu placed it casually next to the Soul Summoning Bell.

“Lou Ming isn’t seriously injured. Not only is he not seriously injured, the evil qi in Lou Ming’s body has also been reduced a lot. Thanks to you, Perfected Lou He,” Master Mao said, brimming with admiration. The thing that bothered him for decades was taken cared of by someone in a matter of a few days.

“It’s not my credit.” Elder Wu did not dare to take credit. He rummaged through his pocket and took out the hairpin he brought out from the zombie tomb. He presented it in front of the two and said, “It’s because of this spiritual artifact.”

“Spiritual artifact?” Master Mao looked at the unobtrusive black hairpin with some disbelief. Could this hairpin be the legendary spiritual artifact?

“Lou Ming’s evil spirit suddenly rioted this time because of a millennium-old zombie,” Elder Wu said, “This hairpin is a spiritual artifact that suppressed that zombie.”

“A spiritual artifact to suppress a millennium-old zombie?!” Master Mao exclaimed, looking at the hairpin even more fervently.

Although Minister Lou couldn’t intuitively comprehend the subtlety of the hairpin like Master Mao, this didn’t prevent him from understanding that the reduction of the evil qi in Lou Ming’s body was related to this spiritual artifact: “If we find a few more such spiritual tools, can they possibly dissolve the the evil spirit in Lou Ming’s body?”

Minister Lou didn’t forget that when Perfected Lou He first arrived, he opened his mouth and asked them to find suitable magical weapons and spiritual artifacts.

“It’s unlikely that it will be completely dissolved, but at the very least, it can be eased.” Although Elder Wu hurriedly left back at the valley, he had also checked Lou Ming’s body condition at that time.

The reason the evil qi in Lou Ming’s body was reduced was simply because the evil qi in his body was bursting at that time. The rioting of his evil spirit was in fact because the evil qi had been suppressed inside his soul and began to wildly overflow out of his body. In the past, Master Mao and Chen Yu just sealed Lou Ming’s evil spirit riots. The so-called seal was actually to shut Lou Ming’s evil spirit back into his body. Hence, fundamentally speaking, the evil spirit had not been eliminated.

The difference this time was that the seven-colored spiritual light from the hairpin directly purified the evil qi overflowing out of Lou Ming’s body in a very short period.

But in fact, this reduction of the evil qi was only temporary. The real huge evil spirit was still deep in Lou Ming’s soul. If this wasn’t solved, it would not take long for Lou Ming to still return to his previous state.

Furthermore, Elder Wu recalled the moment the Heavenly Thunder was about to fall, and the golden light that beamed from Lou Ming’s body. This made him frown unconsciously.

“That’s good enough.” Lou Ming’s previous physical condition had reached the brink of collapse, and when Elder Wu had asked them to collect magical tools before, he had only said that it might relieve the evil qi in Lou Ming’s body. The emergence of this hairpin, on the other hand, had turned this possibility into a certainty.

For Master Mao and the Lou family, who had long been hopeless, this was great news.

“Then you’d better speed up your search, while Lou Ming’s evil qi is still stable now,” Elder Wu advised.

Minister Lou and Master Mao nodded heavily. One decided to go back and urge the people below to speed up their search, and the other planned to ask everyone in the Metaphysical circle again if they had any spare magic tools.

“Where is that girl, Chen Yu?” Seeing that the day was about to dawn, Elder Wu felt it was almost time to go home.

“She’s upstairs with Lou Ming,” Master Mao returned.

“I’ll go get her to come down,” said Elder Wu with a frown, and he moved to go upstairs to call Chen Yu.

“No need.” Minister Lou hastily stopped Elder Wu and turned his head to Tian Fei, who was guarding. He gave him a wink, and the other immediately turned around and headed to the second floor.

Elder Wu stopped in obedience. He then put away the Soul Summoning Bell and the compass together. Master Mao knew that Elder Wu was leaving, so he hurriedly handed back the hairpin in his hand.

Elder Wu smoothly received it, gave some thought, and then said, “Lou Ming may have to sleep for a while this time.”
