Text Chapter 20 Night Tour of Pan Mansion
"The moonlight passes through my soul and gives me a comfortable and cool feeling. No wonder it is called Moonlight."
Bathed in the moonlight, Qiu Yan's living soul came to a standstill. It still looked fragile at all. Not to mention the air currents and breezes, even strong winds might not be able to tear the living soul into pieces.
"That talisman is really incredible. I don't know how it was refined. What mystery is there? It can actually strengthen the soul. According to what the city god said, there are three main ways for a living soul to grow stronger. This talisman should also rely on this. Refining, I just don’t know which one to use.”
Thinking of this, he had a thought, and a few sentences flowed out from the depths of his soul. When he was weak, he didn't feel it at first, but now he clearly felt that the passage of the article was refreshing and lively.
"When I listened to Cheng Huang's words, I had some guesses. I was even more skeptical when the calming incense appeared just now. Now that I feel the flow of the article, I'm basically sure. This should be what Cheng Huang said, the third way to strengthen your soul. It is a primitive method that can use the articles of sages as a guide to stimulate one's own will and emotions and make the soul stronger. It can be regarded as an accident and needs further research and improvement in the future. "
Of course, the articles and sentences flowing in the living soul are not real things, but concepts formed by memory combined with the soul and thoughts. They flow in the soul just like thoughts turning, but they feel to Qiu Yan like a clear spring of sweet rain, containing mystery and making him feel... His mind suddenly opened up, but Qiu Yan still remembered today's plan, so he didn't immerse himself in it.
The living soul has no eyes, but with a single glance of perception, it can grasp all the surrounding scenes. The details are even more precise than visual inspection. Qiu Yan's living soul identified the direction, then floated up, and fell into the sky at a turn. into the next room.
In the room, a tired and sad Ms. Liu fell asleep at the table, with fragments of thoughts and emotions surrounding her angry head, revealing a gloomy and sad mood.
"These thoughts and emotions are naturally scattered out after people fall asleep and their minds are in a dream. If my living soul pounces on them, it can swallow them up, but these thoughts in front of me are basically gloomy and negative thoughts. It’s more harmful than helpful.”
Thinking like this, Qiu Yan's soul wandered deep into the house, where Pan Rongniang was lying asleep on the bed.
Qiu Yan's soul turned around Pan Rongniang, then pounced on the other person's head, disappeared from his forehead, but reappeared not long after.
"The first time I tried to fall into a dream, I failed. There is no soul in this body, so there is no memory, emotion, or consciousness. Of course, there is no dream, so what I see is darkness and nothingness. However, The interdependence of souls finally allowed me to find a trace of connection. Although it is weak, it is a clue after all. "
Thinking like this, Qiu Yan's soul left the room, wandering deep into the night.
The city was silent, with the occasional sound of a watchman coming. The streets, shops, and houses were all immersed in the darkness.
While wandering, Qiu Yan's soul followed a weak connection caught in Pan Rongniang's body and came to a house.
Pan Mansion.
"It is indeed here. Although the spirit itself can also move according to thoughts, its whole body is flooded with light. I have no way to hide the light. Once it travels, it is easy to be noticed by others, but it is not as concealed as the living soul."
After thinking about it, Qiu Yan's soul had already turned around, crossed the courtyard wall, and entered Pan's mansion.
The Pan Mansion at night was not as quiet as it seemed. From time to time, servants could be seen walking through, and deep snoring could be heard from some small houses. However, as soon as an order was issued from the back house, the snoring would stop immediately, and then Qing Yi could be seen. The servants came out in a hurry.
"The rich families in this world are really luxurious. Even when they go to bed at night and suddenly wake up, they have to be attended to at all times."
Wandering all the way, the living soul followed the route remembered during the day, but soon reached a strange place.
Qiu Yan was cautious when he was flying. After all, it was only the second time he left his body. Although he strengthened his soul with the help of talismans and could withstand the wind, and traveled around the city at night, he didn't know anything about the methods of sexual soul cultivation, so he had to Be cautious.
On the other hand, since entering the Pan Mansion, Qiu Yan felt an inexplicable pressure on his soul, and there was a strange feeling on the ground, as if there was a kind of magnetism, faintly attracting his own soul.
"...The Liu family...is...at ease..."
Suddenly, the conversation between the two people came, which aroused Qiu Yan's thoughts. The conversation obviously involved Liu Huai's family.
"Someone is talking about what happened during the day? Go and listen."
The voice came from a large room in the back house. As the distance got closer, Qiu Yan quickly identified that the owner of one of the voices was Master Pan, whom he had met during the day, while the other voice was Very unfamiliar, slightly old-fashioned.
However, soon, the identity of the owner of the old voice was revealed from Master Pan’s words——
"Father, this is the fault of the Liu family. If Sixth Sister follows Tang Yi, if she is favored, not only will she rise to the top, but the Liu family will also be looked at differently, and our Pan family will also benefit. What a pity, what a pity. "
This is Master Pan's voice.
"Zhi'er, don't take everything too one-sidedly. Tang Yi likes to hunt for women and won't really take Rong Niang seriously. But this daughter is a waste. She can't help her father in anything. Even if she dies, it won't matter. It's a pity. However, I left this matter to you because I wanted to see your decision, and you did not disappoint me." The owner of the old voice was clearly the head of Pan Mansion, Mr. Pan.
Getting closer, through the window, Qiu Yan's perception expanded, and he sensed the soul, just like his eyesight. The appearance of the third young master Pan appeared clearly. He was standing respectfully, without any trace of the arrogance and arrogance of the day.
Opposite Young Master Pan, there sat an old man with a long beard, a small crown on his head, and a purple cloak on his body. He had a Chinese character face and sideburns, and was calm and dignified. Of course he was Pan Yuanwai, the head of the Pan family.
"Of course. Although I value Liu Yue, he is a servant and there is no substitute for him. But Tang Yi is different. The Shangling Dao behind him, whether it is the official Dao, the bandit Dao or the Bai Dao, is involved. There are rumors that there are earthly immortals who fly into the sky and escape from the earth. We should make efforts to make friends with such people, how can we make him unhappy?" Young Master Pan looked confident.
Pan Yuanwai took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's good to know that people are divided into three, six or nine grades. The Liu family is inferior. Their lives are not valuable. How can they be as good as the successors of the Shangling Dao? But don't be afraid of Tang. Yi, to put it bluntly, they are all outsiders. No matter how great their magical powers are, they cannot be greater than the imperial court. You must grasp the rules here and don't become flatterers. We, the Pan family's heirs of poems and books, and officials of all generations, don't Take yourself lightly.”
"I understand, kid." Master Pan nodded repeatedly.
Pan Yuanwai smiled slightly: "Well, it's good to understand. Your eldest and second brothers are both in official positions and it's hard to be distracted. In the future, this business will still have to be run by you. Don't let me down."
Beside the window, Qiu Yan shook his head secretly: "I didn't expect that the misfortune of my uncle's family would be nothing at all in the eyes of the father and son. It was even just a school test for his son. The boy from the Pan family is not that old. , but in his words, he obviously didn’t take other people’s lives seriously, as if he was treating everyone around him as pawns..."
Qiu Yan was still thinking, but suddenly he felt a warning sign, and a feeling of extreme danger exploded in his heart.
"Huh? No, I'm being watched!" As soon as his thoughts changed, the living soul moved and climbed rapidly upwards, but before he could fly a few feet, he heard a burst of laughter——
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that I would accidentally run into a soul monk by setting up a spirit-guiding array. Now that I'm here, don't leave. Come down obediently and become my master's soul material. !”
