Lu Yao stared at the deep stone chamber, her thoughts seemed to be moved by an invisible hand, and the fog in her heart gradually condensed into one. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, as if asking: "Why is it so complicated? The person shown in the Tianji Pool was not seriously injured. What exactly does the curse twelve years ago in the ritual refer to?" In the stone chamber, the light was dim, and several oil lamps were swaying. Distorted shadows danced on the walls like monsters. The air was filled with the scent of sandalwood and ink, adding a bit of mystery to this mysterious place. "Although the Tianji Pool can peek into the past, it cannot explain what is happening now." Lu Yao whispered to herself, with a hint of worry in her tone. Her fingers unconsciously stroked the jade pendant on her waist. It was a treasure given by her mentor, which could calm the mind and soul. "Perhaps, we can try another method - summoning the soul." Her voice was firm, breaking the silence like a decisive decision. Lu Haotian was struck by lightning when he heard this. He gripped the stone table tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, "Call, call the spirit? Taoist priest, I...I." Lu Yao knew his worries well, and they were not groundless. After all, calling the spirit could lead to unimaginable consequences if not handled with care. However, at this moment, they had no other choice. She looked around the instruments in the stone chamber, and she had a plan in mind. "My dear," Lu Yao's voice was like a spring breeze, "If you want to solve the mystery of this curse, you must face it. Only in this way can you find the truth." Lu Haotian looked at her, his heart surging like a turbulent sea. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up, "I...I am willing." Lu Yao nodded slightly and began to prepare for the soul-calling ceremony. She took out incense, paper money, talismans and other items from her sleeves, and skillfully set up the altar in the center of the stone chamber. She carefully placed each instrument, as if performing a solemn sacrifice. "Don't be afraid," Lu Yao whispered, "I'm here." Lu Haotian followed her instructions, kneeling in front of the altar, clasping his hands together, and meditating with his eyes closed. He tried to calm his inner anxiety, but his heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence. Lu Yao held a peach wood sword, stepped on the magic circle, and muttered something. Her figure was as graceful as dancing, as if dancing with the world. "Heaven and earth Xuanzong, the root of all qi... hurry up and command!" The spell echoed in the stone chamber. As the ceremony progressed, the temperature dropped sharply and a cold wind blew. Lu Haotian felt a chill on his back, and he resisted the urge to open his eyes. Suddenly, ripples appeared in the pool in the center of the stone chamber, and a vague figure slowly emerged. The figure was wearing a plain white gown, with disheveled hair, a pale face, and empty eyes. 0
 
 
"Ah!" Lu Haotian screamed and stepped back, his legs shaking uncontrollably. The figure stood quietly in the pool, just staring ahead, as if seeing something that only it could see. "Why don't you show yourself quickly!" Lu Yao pointed the peach wood sword in her hand directly at the figure, with majesty in her voice. The figure slowly turned his head and suddenly let out a shrill scream: "Ah——" The scream was so piercing that it made people shudder. Lu Haotian felt a splitting headache. He covered his ears, but still couldn't block out the terrible sound. However, Lu Yao remained calm, and her spell became more and more urgent, "Taishangtaixing, respond without stopping..." As the spell was completed, a golden light shot out from the peach wood sword, and the figure instantly transformed into its original form. It was completely unrecognizable, as if it had been tortured inhumanly. "Master... I... I saw him." Lu Haotian's voice trembled, and his face was as pale as paper. Lu Yao walked up to him and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." She turned to the ghost and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you haunting me?" The ghost's voice trembled: "I, I don't know who I am. I only know that he ran over me with his car twelve years ago. I want revenge!" Lu Yao frowned when she heard this. There must be something fishy going on, so she decided to use her fingers to calculate to get the truth. After a long time, she suddenly realized, "So that's it." 0
 
 
"Master, what's going on?" Lu Haotian asked anxiously. Lu Yao pondered for a moment: "The person you hit was actually a sorcerer from Thailand. And the soul we see now is a ghost he caught from another car accident scene." "How is this possible?" Lu Haotian said in disbelief. "The sorcerer has evil intentions and cast a curse on you." Lu Yao said. "Then what should we do?" Lu Haotian asked. "We need to correct the memory of this poor ghost first, and then perform a ritual to resolve the grievances for him." Lu Yao replied. "But... I don't know how to do it." Lu Haotian said blankly. "Don't panic, I will help you." Lu Yao smiled slightly. Hearing this, Lu Haotian's eyes finally lit up with hope. He nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, Taoist. I will do my best to cooperate." "Very good." Lu Yao said with relief, "But for now, you need to have a good rest. This ritual is quite complicated, and I need to choose an auspicious day." Lu Haotian nodded, stood up and left the stone chamber. When he walked out of the door, he looked back at Lu Yao who was still standing in front of the altar, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. The door of the stone chamber slowly closed, separating the mysterious world from reality. Lu Yao stayed in the stone chamber and continued to perform some mysterious ritual. The candlelight flickered, the talismans flew, and her figure was looming in the dim light, as if she had merged with this mysterious space. Her fingers passed through the air, leaving a series of mysterious runes, and the whole stone chamber seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious atmosphere. A few days later, Lu Yao finally chose an auspicious day. She asked Lu Haotian to come to the stone chamber again to prepare for this crucial ritual. The layout of the stone chamber was more solemn than before, with various instruments and spells placed around, and the air was filled with the scent of sandalwood. "My Lord, are you ready?" Lu Yao asked seriously, with a hint of concern in her eyes. Lu Haotian took a deep breath and nodded firmly, "I'm ready, Taoist priest." Lu Yao nodded with satisfaction, and then began to arrange the altar. She drew a complex formation on the ground, and then placed various instruments in place one by one. Throughout the process, her movements were precise and smooth, as if she had practiced thousands of times. "My Lord, please stand in the center of the formation." Lu Yao instructed. Lu Haotian stepped into the formation carefully and stood in the center. He could feel a strange energy flowing under his feet. 0
