Nine Eyes Heavenly Bead - C53
The three of them stopped at the foot of the Rising Heat Temple. The mountain road was not easy to traverse, so Chen Xi could only walk ahead.
Yu Jingyan had always been paying attention to the compass in his hand. From the rotation of the compass s pointer, the soul fragment that Dong Chun had lost should be nearby.
Silang led the way ahead with his blade, Chen Xi held his Swinging Rod s as he protected them from the back. Yu Jingyan was in the middle and the three of them acted as if they were facing a great enemy.
Halfway through, Yu Jingyan withdrew the compass and said softly: “Observe your surroundings carefully, it should be here.”
“Brother Yu, right-hand side …” Silang said.
Yu Jingyan looked to his right and sure enough, he saw an incomplete spirit pacing back and forth …
It was the remnant soul of Dong Chun!
Other than this wisp of remnant soul, there were no other evil spirits. The three of them quietly went over to surround Dong Chun’s remnant soul, and Dong Chun’s remnant soul did not seem to have realized their arrival, and continued to walk there.
As they approached the remnant soul, the three of them heard Dong Chun’s remnant soul mumbling, “Child … “Child …”
“Dong Chun?” Yu Jingyan opened his mouth.
The remnant soul was still pacing back and forth, repeating “child” in its mouth …
“Hey, Dong Chun, what are you doing?” Yu Jingyan raised his voice.
The lingering spirit was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Jingyan and the other two, and then said unclearly: “I’m looking for a child, the child is missing …”
“What child?” Yu Jingyan thought of how the puppet master Zhang Tao had refined him into a small child’s puppet and instantly became vigilant. He thought to himself, could there be other people in the vicinity?
But after looking around, Yu Jingyan did not see anyone else. He was on the mountain road that led to the Hot Pine Temple, some distance from the temple, and in the dead of the night, no one could be seen.
“Look for the child, the child is gone, my child is gone …” “You guys help me find it, my child is gone …” The remnant soul said.
Yu Jingyan knew that this remnant soul’s consciousness was not complete, and the “searching for a child” that he mentioned seemed to be an obsession.
“Your child is missing? “What does he look like?” Yu Jingyan asked.
The remnant soul hesitated for a moment before saying, “He’s around this height. He’s quite pretty. It’s a little boy …”
As he spoke, the remnant spirit gestured with his hands to measure the height of a child. It was around the height of a four or five-year-old child.
However, Dong Chun was already over 70 years old, his child should be at least 30 to 40 years old, how could he be 4 to 5 years old?
“Dong Chun, how old is your child? Did you not see him here?” Yu Jingyan asked.
Dong Chun’s residual soul nodded, it frowned and thought for a moment, then said: “Five years old, my son was five, he disappeared here. Don’t just stand there, help me find him …”
Yu Jingyan and the other two were deeply suspicious. After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, Silang put away his blade and the Swinging Rod put away his. Yu Jingyan opened his mouth and asked: “Dong Chun, do you know that you are only in a residual soul state right now?
The abandoned soul shook its head, as if it didn’t understand what Yu Jingyan was saying, and continued to walk back and forth, looking for the child that didn’t exist.
“The remnant soul left his body. It seems like Dong Chun has a very deep obsession in his heart, and that obsession is to find his son. Looking at the time, his son should have already been lost for many years, and I wonder if he is still alive …” Yu Jingyan said in a low voice.
“It looks like, many years ago, Dong Chun lost his own child here, so when he became old and ill, the remnant spirit would leave his body and return to this place to find his son.” Chen Xi said.
There was no point in searching like this.
“Dong Chun, it’s time for you to return to your original body. Otherwise, with this remnant soul of yours, you won’t be able to withstand the Yin Wash and Yang Fire’s corrosion at all.” Yu Jingyan said.
“But, but my son hasn’t been found yet …” I have to find him. If he doesn’t see me, he’ll be scared… He will be afraid… My son is timid. He, he definitely hasn’t gone far. He is very obedient and won’t go with strangers. He must be nearby waiting for me to come find him … “I’m begging you, please help me find my son, he might be playing hide and seek with me, and hid himself …” Dong Chun’s residual soul cried, and Chen Xi, who was at the side, also secretly wiped tears away too …
Yu Jingyan knew that he missed his son.
“Then let’s help him look for it. This remnant soul is not very intelligent, so we can’t use normal methods to communicate with it.” Yu Jingyan said.
After that, the three searched along the mountain path. Silang burrowed into the dense cypress forest, searching for a while without any results. Dong Chun’s residual soul seemed to be quite pitiful, his mind was not good, and he only knew to look for his son where he was.
Yu Jingyan felt sad. At this time, Dong Chun’s residual soul might not even know who he was, yet he still remembered his son …
“Dong Chun, come back with us, alright? After we go back, we’ll find more people to help you find your son. We’ll definitely be able to find him.” Yu Jingyan said.
The remnant soul hesitated for a moment before asking, “I’m afraid that if I leave and my son can’t see me, he’ll be scared …”
Yu Jingyan: “Follow us and come back quickly. We’ll find more helpers to help you. That way, we’ll definitely be able to find your son.”
Under Yu Jingyan’s persuasion, Dong Chun’s residual soul finally agreed with difficulty.
“Alright, I’ll go with you guys. We have to hurry back, we can’t make my son wait too long. He’ll be scared, he’s scared of the dark …” The remnant soul choked.
Yu Jingyan nodded his head, and took out a talisman from his body, taking advantage of the remnant soul being unprepared, he placed it on the back of his head, and then the hollow remnant soul took form and took form.
The reason why Yu Jingyan did this was because he was worried that Dong Chun’s remnant soul would not cooperate.
Fortunately, the remnant soul did not resist, and obediently followed Yu Jingyan and the two others onto the carriage, which Chen Xi drove towards the People’s Hospital.
“When did your son disappear?” Yu Jingyan asked.
The remnant soul: “I forgot.”
Yu Jingyan: “What’s his name?”
The remnant soul, “I also forgot … “Right, where are we going? I have to go back and find my son …”
Yu Jingyan: “Go and find someone to help you find your son. Do you still remember the characteristics of your son?”
The remnant spirit covered his head with his hands and muttered, “I don’t know, I forgot. I can’t remember …”
Yu Jingyan sighed helplessly, knowing that Dong Chun’s residual soul was only able to rely on a bit of obsession to come here and find his son. As for his son’s identity, name and lost time, he could no longer remember it all.
After returning to the People’s Hospital, Yu Jingyan took the talisman off the remnant spirit and the remnant spirit once again turned into void-form. Other than Yu Jingyan and the others who had activated the Yin-yang Eye, ordinary people could not even see him.
When he pushed the door and entered the room, Dong Chun was sleeping. The residual soul looked at Dong Chun who was on the bed and asked: “Why does he look the same as me?”
Yu Jingyan: “He’s you, you’re him. Only when you return to your body with a broken soul can you recover your mind. Go.”
Yu Jingyan pushed him from the back, pushing him in front of Dong Chun.
“He is me? If you say that the broken soul can return to the body, then it will return to normal. In that case, wouldn’t it be possible for me to remember my son’s characteristics? ” The remnant soul asked.
Yu Jingyan: “That’s right, only by returning to your original body can I remember about your son.”
The remnant spirit nodded and sat on the sickbed. When he came into contact with Dong Chun’s body, a suction force sucked him into it.
The remnant soul had already returned to his body.
“Dong Chun, wake up, I have something to ask you.” Yu Jingyan said.
After waking up Dong Chun, Dong Chun was at a loss and asked: “Who are you? Does the doctor want to check the room? ”
Yu Jingyan: “My name is Yu Jingyan, Dong Chun, can you still remember what happened in the past?”
Dong Chun rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up. “Why am I here?”
“Brother Yu, he seems to still be delirious.” Silang said.
Yu Jingyan said, “It’s not that he’s delirious, it’s because he’s suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. His short-term memory is very poor.”
“Dong Chun, this is the hospital. You are sick, and hospitalized here, do you remember that you had a son?” Yu Jingyan said.
Dong Chun revealed a face of astonishment, and asked back: “How did you know I have a son?”
Yu Jingyan: “Don’t worry about it. Let me ask you, what’s your son’s name? Where is he now?”
Dong Chun: “His name is Dong Minhua, when he was five years old, he went missing.”
“It looks like there’s no problem with your long-term memory. It’s just that your short-term memory is not good enough for the first stage of Alzheimer’s disease.” Yu Jingyan said.
Dong Chun asked. “How do you know about my son?”
Yu Jingyan: “Do you recognize Ze Cheng?”
Dong Chun, “Ze Cheng? Are you talking about my family’s Ze Cheng who sells vegetables downstairs? ”
Yu Jingyan: “No, he’s Ze Cheng, the main physician in the general surgery of the People’s Hospital. Do you recognize him?”
With that, Yu Jingyan took out the photo of Ze Cheng from his phone for Dong Chun to recognize. Dong Chun looked at it and shook his head: “I don’t.”
Yu Jingyan: “Alright, let’s talk about your son. Tell me, how did your son get lost?”
“…”
After a long conversation, Yu Jingyan and the others finally understood the reason behind Dong Chun’s son’s death. At the same time, they understood why Ze Cheng wanted to kill Dong Chun.
“Come with us to the police station, there’s someone you want to meet.” Yu Jingyan said.
Dong Chun did not refuse and followed Yu Jingyan to the police station. It was already 3 in the morning, and Jeb was resting on the sofa in his office.
“Jeb, I want to see Ze Cheng.” After Yu Jingyan woke Jeb up, he immediately expressed his purpose of coming.
Jeb did not ask any further and immediately made the necessary arrangements. A few minutes later, he arranged for Dong Chun, Silang and Chen Xi to enter the monitoring room while he brought Yu Jingyan to the interrogation room.
Inside the interrogation room, Ze Cheng’s eyes were bloodshot, it was unknown how long it had been since he slept.
After Yu Jingyan and Jeb sat down, Ze Cheng did not even glance at them.
“Ze Cheng, we’re here again. Can you tell us why you hated Dong Chun to the bones?” Yu Jingyan asked.
Ze Cheng didn’t say a word, as if he hadn’t heard Yu Jingyan’s question.
“Can you not be so silent? We know you have your difficulties, but you have to tell us your difficulties before we can help you! When I was in the hospital, you took care of all our patients. I know you are a good person, and even though you made a mistake this time, I believe you did not kill an old man for no reason. Speak, why did you harm Dong Chun? ” Yu Jingyan patiently and patiently.
Ze Cheng remained silent. Yu Jingyan sighed helplessly, took out a cigarette and lit it up, then said: “At that time, I was smoking in the hospital ward, and you didn’t make things difficult for me, I remember your relationship with me, and since you weren’t willing to say it, then I’ll help you say it. In the eyes of outsiders, you’ve never met Dong Chun, and the police also didn’t know your motive.
Ze Cheng looked at Yu Jingyan coldly, as if he was not prepared to speak yet.
“It’s not just a matter of deep ties. You are father and son!” Yu Jingyan raised his voice.
