Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 143 - General Ji


Chapter 143: General Ji

Chu Sihan took the teapot from her and gestured for her to sit down.

Lu Sheng told Lu Jiang to find Lu Xin to play while she pulled a stool and sat down.

She smiled at Chu Sihan and asked, “Why did the three of you come over today?”

Yun Ting said, “It’s not a big deal. I just want to ask Miss Lu about something.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Young Master Yun, please speak.”

Yun Ting nodded. “Five years ago, a general was murdered near Qingshui River in Liu Yue Village. Many people said that he was killed by a villain from an enemy country. However, that general visited my father in his dreams and said that he was killed by someone.”

Yun Ting added, “Oh right, that general is one of my uncles. He has a good relationship with my father.”

When Lu Sheng heard that, she recalled the owner’s past memories and realized that something big had happened five years ago.

At that time, many big shots came to the village. There were officials and guards, and everyone in the village was shocked.

The owner was eleven years old then. She was timid too. When she heard Lu Dahua telling his family not to go out, she did not dare to go out.

Later, at dinner, Lu Dahua said that a general died near Qingshui River. Those officials came over to find the murderer.

However, this matter did not affect the villagers of Liu Yue Village much. Hence, everyone forgot about it in less than half a month.

Lu Sheng nodded. “I do remember this.”

Chu Sihan explained faintly, “Old Master Yun said that General Ji often visited him in his dreams and told him that his soul was thrown into Qingshui River. Although he was buried beside his ancestor’s grave, he was not recognized by his ancestors and became a wandering ghost.”

The country’s general had become a wandering ghost. This was too tragic.

Lu Sheng’s eyebrow raised. “This is just a small matter. Go and find the Ji family and get them to summon that soul back to Qingshui River. It’s similar to summoning a soul.”

In the past, Yun Ting did not believe it. Hence, when his father mentioned it, he only felt that he was dreaming about what he thought about in the day.

He even persuaded his father to rest earlier and not let his imagination run wild.

He only remembered this when he saw Da Niu’s soul with his own eyes and happened to receive a letter from his father yesterday.

“Summoning souls?”

Yun Ting pinched his chin and asked curiously, “By what method?”

“It’s very simple.” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Ask them to chop some bamboo and make a one-meter-tall pillar. Make something that looks like a funnel and stick some red paper on it.

“Oh, there’s also the white string that leads the way. When summoning souls, store some food, cooked meat, or pastries in the funnel-shaped thing. Of course, sweets are also fine. The food is for the souls, in case they become hungry midway and can’t walk further.”

“The white string has to be wrapped around each bamboo pole. It can’t break or stop. When you call for souls, it’s best to find an elder who’s closer to General Ji.”

Even Chu Sihan looked confused, let alone Yun Ting and Shi Yi.

They had not seen such a thing before, much less come into contact with it.

“Miss Lu, do you have a more convenient and concise method?” Yun Ting’s head hurt when he heard that.

It would take a long time to travel from Qingshui River to the capital. Who knew how many strings and bamboos would be required?

Moreover, it would take at least a month to travel from Liu Yue Village to the capital, let alone walk.

He feared that the person who summoned the soul would die along the way before it could be summoned back to the capital.

“Yes!”

Lu Sheng nodded. “I can help you collect this soul. However, when you bring him back to the capital, find a trustworthy and powerful cultivator to cast a spell and let that soul reunite with the other souls.”
