Chapter 32: The Amulet of Sanqing Temple

The doorbell rings.

"Excuse me, is Master Su at home?"

Su Chen, who was holding a bowl, raised his eyelids slightly and responded to the outside of the door: "Come in, the door is not locked."

"Uh okay."

The person outside the door was visibly stunned.

Then, he gently pushed the door open.

Su Chen, who was stuffing the egg into his mouth, and the two people who walked in from outside looked at each other.

Su Chen quickly swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Good morning, Officer Zhao."

"Morning, Mr. Su. Sorry to bother you."

That’s right, the person who came was none other than Zhao Chenglong whom I had met before.

"Don't disturb me. Do you want to eat?" Su Chen invited the two to sit down.

"Uh, no, we ate."

"Um, Mr. Su, did you know we were coming?" Zhao Chenglong.

"I know, but I don't know why you are here." Su Chen nodded honestly.

Another person was at the police station asking a young man when he would have a romantic relationship, and he said with a smile:

"Good morning, Master Su. I didn't have time to introduce myself last time. Just call me Xiao Huang."

"Master, this is the case. We need your help."

Zhao Chenglong frowned. Is it so direct?
But in the end, I held back and didn't say anything.

Speaking of this, Xiao Huang felt a little shy for once.

After seeing that Su Chen did not show any other expression, he continued:
"I watched your live broadcast these past two days. You really have the ability to catch ghosts from a distance. It's even better than in a TV show."

Xiao Huang became more and more excited as he spoke. If he hadn't been afraid that Su Chen would refuse, he would have wanted to take Su Chen as his master.

"." His gaze was too hot, which made Su Chen speechless.

If you don’t know, you would think that this guy is in love with you.

But he didn't say anything and continued to listen to his praise.

Xiao Huang did not disappoint his encouraging look. After laying the groundwork, he spoke to Su Chen solemnly:
"You are the only true master we know, so we desperately hope that you can help us."

Su Chen finished the last bite of breakfast, looked at him, raised his hand and asked, "That's not important. What's important is, is there a salary? How much is the salary?"

Don't say that he is money-minded. As a cultivator, he will have to bear the consequences if he interferes in other people's affairs at will. He can only be free of consequences after receiving the money and paying the goods.

So free is impossible!

You have to charge some money.

Of course it would be better if the salary was higher.

".Salary?" Xiao Huang was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect him to ask this question.

This is not something that he, a small follower, has the final say on.

"Mr. Su, there is a salary. I have already applied for it from the higher-ups. Don't worry." Zhao Chenglong.

Su Chen was not attracted by the salary. The main point was to help the police complete the case, and the merit and spiritual energy he would gain would not be small.

City First Hospital, Inpatient Department.

There were people coming and going in the corridor, including patients and medical staff.

In the ward filled with disinfectant.

A thin woman with a sad face was concentrating on wiping the face of the boy lying on the hospital bed.

"Captain Zhao, if you are sick, just go see a doctor. There is no point in calling me. I can't cure diseases and save lives."

Su Chen looked in from the window, looking confused.

"Yesterday, a car accident happened in our Dongcheng area. The driver sent the boy to the hospital in time. The doctor did not find any external or internal injuries, but the boy was unconscious. The boy's family thought it was the driver's fault and demanded compensation. The driver felt very wronged. It was the boy who suddenly rushed into the car lane and he braked in time to avoid hitting anyone. The two sides quarreled fiercely."

"We also checked the surveillance video and it was just like what the driver said. The boy walked into the traffic without knowing it. A normal person would not behave in such an abnormal way."

Zhao Chenglong pulled Su Chen to a corner and briefly told him what he had learned.

"The point is that the boy was not injured. I was wondering if it was... like what you said in your live broadcast."

"Lost soul, huh?" Su Chen took over the conversation.

"Yes, yes, Master Su, I think if medicine can't find the cause, we may need metaphysics. I advise the captain to ask you to take a look."

Xiao Huang looked like he was asking for praise. "Well, you guessed right." Su Chen.

"People have three souls and seven spirits. In mild cases, they lose their spirits, become confused, and become mentally ill. In severe cases, they lose their spirits and become a vegetable. Therefore, after being frightened, you must calm down."

"The child inside is missing a soul."

It didn't look real from the outside, but he could still tell that the soul was indeed incomplete.

"Officer Zhao, what are you doing?"

The boy's mother came out with a washbasin, saw them and asked expectantly.

"Xiaojun's mother, we just came to see Xiaojun."

"Well, Officer Zhao, please come in and sit down. I'll go get you a glass of water."

As the boy's mother said this, she was about to put down the basin to entertain the three people.

"Xiaojun's mother, don't bother, just go and do your work first, we'll watch here."

Zhao Chenglong asked a few questions about the patient's condition as usual.

After a moment, Xiaojun's mother was called out by the nurse.

Su Chen was able to take a closer look at the boy, who was wearing a triangular cloth bag around his neck. "What is this?"

"I heard that it was a lucky charm his family asked for, and he was wearing it before the accident."

Even through the cloth bag, Su Chen could feel the spiritual power retained in it. It seemed that the person who drew the talisman was a man of great attainments.

"Master, I have a question." Xiao Huang raised his hand.

"You want to know why Xiaojun is unharmed?"

Xiao Huang widened his eyes and nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Zhao Chenglong also looked at Su Chen, obviously wanting to know the answer.

"The amulet on his neck was indeed useful. It saved him from being hit by a car. The loss of his soul was only due to the shock."

"Okay, call the soul back before the people come back."

"What do you need us to do?" Zhao Chenglong asked from the side.

"No, just stand aside and watch."

Su Chen quickly made a gesture, took out a talisman paper, lit it, and tapped it on Xiaojun's forehead. "Souls are like bodies, each returns to its own place, return!"

He chanted a spell and pulled the other person's soul back.

After doing all this, Xiaojun's mother just came back.

"Hey, why does it smell burnt?"

"There's no way there would be a burnt smell in a hospital. I'm afraid it's the smell of medicine." Xiao Huang joked for fear of arousing the other party's suspicion.

"Maybe I smelled it wrong. I was in a daze these past two days in the hospital."

"By the way, where did Xiaojun get the amulet around his neck?" Su Chen asked.

"Oh, that's what my mother-in-law, Xiaojun's grandmother, prayed for at Sanqing Temple. She said it was very effective."

"Then Xiaojun's mother, we are leaving. Don't worry, I will give your family an explanation no matter what." Zhao Chenglong comforted her and was about to leave.

Xiaojun's mother stood up again to see him off.

"No need to send Xiaojun's mother away. Xiaojun may wake up at any time. It's better for you to stay by his bedside."

Xiaojun’s mother felt both heartwarming and sad after hearing this.

If only this were true, God knows how much she wishes her son would wake up immediately.

Doctors say it could be a few months at the shortest, or a lifetime.

"Don't comfort me, I know"

“Ding ding ding”

A burst of urgent instrument sounds suddenly rang in the ward.

Xiaojun's mother was horrified. She turned around and saw the red light of the monitoring device on the bedside was flashing and the data cable was jumping around.

She didn't care about Su Chen and the other two, and quickly shouted, "Doctor, doctor!"

Soon, a large group of doctors and nurses rushed into the ward and surrounded the bed.

A ray of golden light flashed, and Su Chen was very satisfied feeling the merit he had obtained.

Follow Zhao Chenglong and leave.
