Following the master's instructions, they left the temple and once again embarked on their journey to find answers. Guided by the master, they arrived at the other end of the city, where a renowned psychic scholar resided. In the mystery of Ruo Shu's origins, this scholar seemed to hold important clues.
They walked into the ancient alleyways, where every brick and tile seemed to exude an ancient aura. Linya and Ruo Shu were filled with excitement, as if this alleyway was a passage to another era. At the end of the deep alley, a rudimentary wooden door could be faintly seen, its boards weathered by time, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
When they approached, Murong couldn't help but sigh, "This place must have a history of hundreds of years. It feels like walking into the long river of history."
They walked up to the door, and Linya gently knocked. Soon, the door quietly opened, revealing a middle-aged man in front of them. His eyes were as deep as the sea, with several deep wrinkles on his forehead, as if he had experienced countless winds and frosts, yet his eyes concealed endless wisdom.
"Who are you?" His voice was deep and powerful, yet without any hostility.
Linya stepped forward and briefly explained their purpose, mentioning the grandmaster in the temple. Her words were filled with sincerity and hope, seeking some assistance from this scholar.
The man nodded and let them into the house. His room was filled with various strange props and books, and ancient scrolls hung on the walls. Every item seemed to have a special significance. Linya and Ruo Shu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of history, as if each item had its own story.
He introduced himself as Jia Wen, a scholar studying paranormal phenomena with some unique insights. After listening to their story, Jia Wen fell into deep thought. He pointed to the nearby coffee table, gesturing for them to sit down, while he went to the bookshelf and took out an ancient book to peruse.
Linya couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jia, do you think there's a possibility of resolving the situation with the Ruo Shu?" Ruo Shu also looked at Jia Wen nervously, hoping for his answer.
Jia Wen slowly closed the book, looked at them, and said, "Although this matter is difficult, it is not without a solution, but..." His words revealed a hint of concern.
He walked up to a large desk, took out an ancient box from the drawer, and opened it to reveal some ancient talismans and peculiar props. He explained, "These are what I have obtained from years of studying supernatural phenomena. Perhaps they will be of help to you."
"The Ruo Shu family is indeed extraordinary," Jia Wen said slowly. He walked to the bookshelf, took down an old book, flipped to a certain page, and pointed to the text and illustrations, saying, "This ancient text mentions a kind of ancient power that can release the soul's bindings. What you have described is very similar to what is described here."
He took out a small wooden box from the drawer again, opened it, and inside were some strange charms and ancient artifacts.
"These charms and artifacts are the key to freeing the soul. But using them requires extreme caution, as one misstep could lead to irreversible consequences," Jia Wen's tone was serious, seemingly conveying an indescribable warning.
LinyaReceived the wooden box and felt a heavy sense of responsibility.
Murong looked at the talisman in his hand and felt a strange power.
Bihua also felt the mysterious power of the artifact.
As for the Ruo Shu, he looked at everything in front of him, filled with gratitude and unease in his heart.
In Jia Wen's residence, the ancient and mysterious atmosphere made them feel the pressure and anticipation of the unknown. Jia Wen took out some talismans and props from an exquisite wooden box, each bearing mysterious symbols and an ancient aura. He earnestly demonstrated to them how to correctly use these props, with careful guidance for each movement and precise chanting for each incantation.
"These talismans and props are not something ordinary people can come into contact with; they come from ancient traditions and wisdom. When using them, one must maintain a clear mind and have no trace of distraction," Jia Wen spoke with seriousness and vigilance.
Ruo Shu asked nervously, "Mr. Jia, are these spells and charms going to have any side effects or dangers?"
Jia Wen looked at Ruo Shu and said gently, "Every use of power has its price, but as long as you use it with care and for the right path, it will be a great help to you."
Under the guidance of Jia Wen, they practiced chanting spells and using props one by one, with no room for any slack in their movements. In the room, only Jia Wen's instructions and their breathing could be heard, as time quietly passed in this tense and serious atmosphere.
After several hours of practice, Jia Wen finally let them go. He instructed, "These spells are very precious and possess powerful forces. They must not be leaked out or used casually. Everything must wait for the right time."
They thanked Jia Wen and left his residence. As night fell, instead of going straight home, they went to a nearby small restaurant. In the simple lighting, they ordered some simple food and sat down to discuss their next plan. Linya looked at the talismans and props on the table, feeling a heavy responsibility.
Mourong suggested, "We should study these talismans and props carefully to understand their functions and how to use them, so that we can make use of them when the time comes."
Bihua nodded and said, "Yes, and we need to keep it a secret. We can't let outsiders know about this."
They discussed quietly in the dim light.
Linya took out the amulets and props given by Jia Wen and placed them on the table. Everyone looked quietly, feeling not only the mystery and power of the amulets, but also the unknown encounters and disasters.
"We need to be fully prepared," Linya said, her eyes shining with determination. " Ruo Shu, you are our important partner, and we will definitely help you to find liberation."
Ruo Shu Looking at Linya, her eyes were full of tenderness and determination. He once again felt the warmth and became more convinced that their friendship could overcome everything.
Murong broke the silence, "I will go find some information and tools that we might need, to make sure we have something to rely on."
Bihua also said, "I will consult with the experts I know to see if there are more ways they can help us."
Their plan became clearer step by step, and everyone had their own division of labor and responsibility.
That night, they didn't have many words, but the tacit understanding and trust between them were stronger and deeper than any words.
However, on the night they laid out the talisman given by Jia Wen, suddenly, the figure of the Ruo Shu became blurry, as if it was being influenced by some unknown force, and his face looked very painful. They were panicked, not knowing what to do, and could only hurriedly contact Jia Wen, hoping to find a solution.
Linya tightly held Ruo Shu's hand, trying to convey some warmth and comfort, but her hand could not feel any temperature. Ruo Shu's face contorted in pain, and his figure gradually became transparent, almost invisible.
" Ruo Shu, you have to hold on!" Linya's voice choked up, tears swirling in her eyes.
Murong hurriedly took out some of the charms he had prepared, trying to use them to stabilize the spirit of the Ruo Shu, but it seemed to have little effect. Bihua was also working hard to search for some information that could help Ruo Shu, but time was ticking away, and the condition of Ruo Shu was getting worse and worse.
Suddenly, the charms and props given by Jia Wen seemed to resonate with something, and began to tremble slightly. Linya couldn't help but pick up one of the charms, holding it tightly in her hand, praying for a miracle to happen.
At this critical moment, the talisman suddenly emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire room. Linya felt a warm power flowing into her body from the talisman, and without hesitation, she passed that power to the Ruo Shu.
Enveloped in the mysterious light, a miraculous moment arrived. The figure of Ruo Shu gradually became clear from the haze, and the previously contorted expression of pain gradually relaxed. When the mysterious light dissipated, Ruo Shu had returned to its original state. He took a deep breath, smiled slightly, as if the pain he had just experienced was nothing more than a distant dream.
However, everyone understands that it is definitely not just a dream. It is a microcosm of the difficulties and trials that may be faced in the future.
Ruo Shu looked at Linya with gratitude and warmth in his eyes, " Linya, if it weren't for you, I might never feel the warmth of this world again."
Linya smiled and shook her head gently, saying, "This is what I should do. We are partners and we will overcome all difficulties together."
Mourong carefully rearranged the talismans and props on the side, making sure everything was put back in its place, while Bihua also tidied up her books, a hint of realization flashing in her eyes.
Line Looking at the gradually rising dawn outside the window, the hope in my heart is like the rising sun, warm and bright. Only when they unite can they face the upcoming challenges and find a way to liberation for the Ruo Shu, as well as discover their own true purpose.
