Chapter 114: Summoning Souls (2)

After leaving the courtyard, the two figures flew straight into night sky and fade away from the city.

As for the body of Lu Heng, the huge white wolf still lay in the room to rest.

Lu Heng's soul came out of the city.

Lu Heng didn't tell Helan Zhen about his plan for this trip. He just invited Helan Zhen to accompany him to watch the funeral of the old master of the Wu clan outside the city tonight.

After all, Lu Heng didn't know whether he could really lead the soul of the old master of the Wu clan into the underworld.

Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if he boasted in advance and couldn't do it?

In the night sky of the city, the departure of two shadows, one white and one black, didn't attract any passerby's attention.

Although the wizard on duty in the city noticed the passing of these two shadows, accompanied by Helan Zhen, the wizard dared not come inquire.

Otherwise, according to the Convention, if there is a cultivator flying over the city, the wizard on duty will interrogate and stop any unauthorized attempts of crossing.

This is also an important reason why Lu Heng invited Helan Zhen to travel with him.

His soul is difficult to walk in the city. If he wants to travel, he can only fly. With Helan Zhen accompanying him, a lot of trouble was solved.

Soon, the two people flew out of Fushan City, which was surrounded by tall and magnificent walls, and came to the river outside the city.

On the wharf in the distance, lights were shining brightly. Even when it was close to midnight, there were porters and boatmen coming and going.

Lu Heng and Helan Zhen stand in the night sky, above the magical scenery beneath them.

At their feet, huge firewood piles have been piled up. The mournful white flag was waving throughout the night.

The river is not far away, the sound of water is choppy and the wind is fierce.

Lu Heng spoke with a confident smile, "Please wait for me a moment, Wuzhu Helan."

Helan Zhen nodded, and they sat down under the night sky, waiting for the Wu clan team that was leaving the city to arrive.

The people of the Wu clan didn't let them wait. Soon, amongst the midst of a noisy suona sound, the Wu clan in mourning came here surrounding the coffin of the old man of the Wu clan.

The little girl with silver hair and animal ears carried a bronze ancient sword and silently followed the team.

Next to the coffin, the second master of the Wu clan, Wu Zhiyuan held his father's coffin and wailed as he walked.

"Dad! You left so suddenly, I'm so sad!"

At this time, the wizard who was invited to the funeral from the Fire God Temple had completed all the ceremonies and directly lit the fire.

Not long after, the firewood piled on the riverside suddenly burst into flames, and began to burn the corpses lying quietly in the coffin.

The smell of scorch wafted along the river wind.

Lu Heng stood up in the night sky and summoned the Requiem Seal. He was ready to take the soul of the old master of the Wu clan away from his body.

However, when Lu Heng and Helan Zhen stood up, there was a flash of human shadow in the river on the other side, which also appeared in the night sky.

Lu Heng was surprised to see the other party.

"Hum? The Pangjiang River God?"

This one appeared in the river, dressed in a divine robe, with a solemn face. She was Gu Zhou, the River God of Pangjiang.

While Lu Heng called her, Gu Zhou saw two figures in the night sky and was surprised.

She quickly leaned over and deeply saluted Lu Heng, "Gu Zhou is waiting for your order."

Then she stood up straight and nodded at Helan Zhen. "Wuzhu Helan, nice to meet you."

Helan Zhen also nodded, which was a return. She was as silent as ever.

However, Gu Zhou didn't care and she seemed used to it.

She smiled and said to Lu Heng, "I didn't expect to meet you here... Did you come to watch the Wu clan's funeral?"

"Well, I have a relationship with the dead old master's father, so I came and took a look," Lu Heng said lightly. "But why are you here?"

Gu Zhou looked at the burning flame below and said, "I'm here to take the soul of the old master of the Wu clan into the water mansion."

Seeing Lu Heng's surprise, Gu Zhou explained with a smile.

"After human souls leave their bodies, they will gradually dissipate from heaven and earth. But before they dissipate, these souls are often chaotic and helpless. They are exposed to the wind and sun like lonely spirits and wild ghosts. Finally, their pain dissipates in an extremely miserable way."

"Therefore, when my husband was alive, he taught me the art of guiding the souls. As long as the deceased on both sides of the Pangjiang River worship me, I will let the river demons lead their souls to my water mansion after their death, so their souls won't feel too painful before dissipating. It is also a good deed."

"As for real good people, like the old master of the Wu clan who once offered a lot of incense and also did good deeds, I would come to take them to my water mansion in person to show my respect."

Gu Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you tonight. It's my pleasure."Yôur favorite novels at n/o(v)el/bin(.)com
