The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 90 Parents are true love, children are accidents

Gu Qingyin was speechless after hearing this. There was only one method recorded in her notes to subdue ghosts with flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood of loved ones suppress the evil spirits, making them never reincarnate, slowly wasting away in time until they disappear.

But looking at Huo Yunjing's condition, it was obvious that Huo Xingchen's spell had failed.

Although the ghost stayed, it was not weakened at all. No one knew what went wrong and it ended up raising a ghost, which made Huo Yunjing stronger and stronger.

It will probably take some time for Huo Yunjing to escape. It would be good if he could recognize Huo Xingchen by then. But if he couldn't, it would be a battle between father and son, and Huo Xingchen would most likely die at the hands of his father.

Gu Qingyin was a little glad that she came along today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing that Gu Qingyin remained silent, Huo Xingchen became more and more uneasy. "I'm sorry, I..." He wanted to continue explaining, but didn't know what to say.

Gu Qingyin was originally very angry, but when this decision was made, Huo Xingchen was only a ten-year-old child, and there was not even an adult around to make decisions. The child just wanted his father to stay with him, what was wrong with that?
Now, Gu Qingyin was angry and guilty, and she began to vent her anger on Xuan Xie.

Originally, she felt that asking for a magic weapon was a bit too much, and she was still a little uneasy. Now, oh, this magic weapon must be hers!

"Besides your father, have you suppressed any other souls?" Gu Qingyin pinched her brows and asked tiredly.

Huo Xingchen looked up at her and shook his head, "No more."

Gu Qingyin looked at him expressionlessly, "Is it really gone?"

Huo Xingchen nodded vigorously, "It's really gone!" After a pause, he rubbed his fingers nervously and added: "But I have caught ghosts before."

"Last season, my opponent played a dirty trick on me. They sent a ghost to scare me in the middle of the night, but I killed him. They didn't show up for the official game the next day. Later, their team's ace player retired."

Gu Qingyin didn't say anything, so Huo Xingchen racked his brains to think about what else he had done. "Also... I usually use talismans to remove negative energy wherever I go. I put amulets under my pillow and carry cinnabar and yellow paper with me..."

"That's enough." Gu Qingyin glanced at Huo Yunjing who had been holding her hand and playing with his fingers, and said bluntly: "Since you have committed this sin yourself, you must take responsibility."

Huo Xingchen glanced at his father, then at his mother, with a bewildered look on his face.

Responsible for what?
Gu Qingyin chuckled and explained the correct usage and effects of the Blood and Flesh Ghost Suppression from beginning to end.

The more Huo Xingchen listened, the paler his face turned. If he hadn't practiced hard enough back then, his father would have died at his hands.

When Huo Xingchen thought about how his father almost lost his soul in his hands, he felt dizzy and couldn't breathe. It was too scary!
"I..." Huo Xingchen's voice was unusually hoarse. He swallowed his dry throat and continued to ask: "What should I do?"

"Tell me what you did before first." Gu Qingyin patted Huo Yunjing's hand, then glared at him and said angrily, "You hurt me."

Huo Yunjing immediately looked at her hand nervously. There were indeed two red marks on her white fingers. He quickly picked it up and blew on it. "I'm sorry, honey. Huhu, don't be angry."

After saying that, he suddenly looked up at Huo Xingchen, "Did he make your wife angry? Your husband will help you kill him."

Huo Xingchen's face turned even paler when he heard this.

Gu Qingyin became even more speechless. She raised her hand and pressed down on Huo Yunjing's head, and said unhappily, "Play with your hand." Then she signaled Huo Xingchen to reply with her eyes.

Huo Xingchen took two seconds to react before remembering the previous question. He recalled and said, "When I was a child, I was afraid of pain, so I didn't dare to cut myself. So I went to... extract a tooth."

Gu Qingyin's expression was blank for a moment, and she almost unconsciously asked, "Tooth extraction?"

The magic spell states that flesh and blood must be used, but you use teeth?
Thinking about it now, Huo Xingchen also felt it was outrageous. He did not dare to look at Qingyin and Huo Yunjing. He hummed and lowered his eyes and said, "I thought at the time that there are blood and nerves on the roots of teeth, so how can they not be considered flesh and blood?"

Gu Qingyin came back to her senses, looked at her youngest son with a complicated expression, and said from the bottom of her heart: "You are really a talent."

Huo Xingchen coughed lightly and continued, "The steps after that are almost the same. At first, my father's soul was unstable, so I kept him in a bottle. Later, he became stronger and stronger, and the bottle could not hold it anymore, so I changed to a jar... The container got bigger and bigger, and after I moved it out, I changed to a coffin."

Gu Qingyin listened carefully. Eighty percent of the problem was with the suppression device, and a small part was probably due to Huo Xingchen's obsession. He wanted to keep Huo Yunjing. This obsession on Huo Yunjing would naturally make him stronger and stronger.

Only powerful ghosts can stay in the human world for long.

"come over."

Gu Qingyin waved her hand, and Huo Xingchen walked around the coffee table, feeling a little timid.

"Hands out."

Huo Xingchen not only stretched out his hand, but also took the initiative to turn his palm upwards, thinking that he had never been spanked when he was a child, but he would experience it as an adult.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyin was stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted him lightly, grabbed his wrist, pulled it gently, and put it into Huo Yunjing's hand.

The father and son held hands again after many years. One was a human and the other was a ghost, and the feeling was very different.

Huo Xingchen shivered from the cold, while Huo Yunjing pouted in disdain, but he had to hold the child's hand because it was his wife's request. The father and son stared at each other.

Gu Qingyin was observing. Logically, there should be a clear causal connection between the Heavenly Master and the suppressed ghost. But strangely, the causal connection between this man and this ghost was very small.

This only shows that Huo Xingchen's suppression of Huo Yunjing was even more unsuccessful than she thought.

Huo Yunjing stayed because he wanted to stay. And someone else wanted to keep him, so he took advantage of the situation and found a place for himself.

"Can you let go now?" Huo Xingchen couldn't help but ask. It was really too cold. How did his mother resist the urge to throw his father's hand away just now?

Huo Yunjing looked at Gu Qingyin, who nodded. He immediately let go and shook it as if it was dirty. Bits of black mist flew away, as if he had really thrown away the dirt.

Huo Xingchen: ...

Do you have to be so double-standard?

He rubbed his cold fingers and looked at Gu Qingyin, "Mom, how can I be responsible?"

Gu Qingyin raised her head with a half-smile, knowing that she had changed her words. But before she could make a mockery, Huo Yunjing frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction, "Wife, why does he call you mom?"

Gu Qingyin patted his handsome face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Be good, don't talk for now." Then she turned to look at Huo Xingchen, "Destroy the suppression device first and set your father free."

Huo Xingchen raised his hand and hooked the black rope around his neck, pulling out a small silver hollow ball, "It's right here."

Gu Qingyin glanced at it and nodded slightly, "Find a place to dispose of it, and when you're done..." Before she finished speaking, her brows furrowed and she turned to look at Huo Yunjing, "What are you crazy about?" Her hands were about to be broken.

Huo Yunjing turned his head and looked at her expressionlessly, with a little red in his eyes, "Wife, are you married to someone else?"

He suddenly remembered that he was dead and had been sleeping in a very dark place for a long time. Before he died, his wife disappeared, and maybe she had married someone else and had children somewhere else.

The more Huo Yunjing thought about it, the redder his eyes became. Black mist swirled around his body, instantly breaking the hair on his wrists. His sanity was in jeopardy, and it seemed like he could suddenly attack and hurt someone at any time.

"Is he your son and another man's son?" Huo Yunjing pointed at Huo Xingchen, murderous intent revealed.

Huo Xingchen instinctively wanted to run, but his body refused to obey him. It was different from the feeling of being numbed by the electric shock just now. This time it was purely because of excessive fear that caused the temporary malfunction of his nervous system.

At that moment, Huo Xingchen really felt like he had stepped into the gates of hell.

But the next second, with a "pop" sound, not only did the whole world become quiet, even the flowing yin energy stagnated.

Huo Xingchen instantly lost his fear and even showed a hint of excitement in his eyes. He wanted to see but didn't dare to - his mother had just mercilessly given his father a big beating!

"Are you awake?" Gu Qingyin asked without any emotion.

Huo Yunjing turned his head abruptly and bared his teeth at her fiercely.

Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue and raised her hand again, as if to hit again.

Huo Yunjing, who had lost his mind, suddenly shrank his neck, showing fear, but he was dazed after he finished shrinking, and his scarlet eyes were full of confusion. Why should he be afraid?
"I'll tell you once, you listen carefully." Gu Qingyin pointed at him expressionlessly, "His name is Huo Xingchen, he's your son. You've been dead for so many years, and he has grown up."

Huo Yunjing listened quietly, but he obviously hadn't regained his sanity yet. He stared with a pair of scarlet and confused eyes, acting stupid.

Gu Qingyin felt sad and wanted to laugh. She coughed lightly and her voice softened a little. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand." She pinched Huo Yunjing's chin and adjusted the angle so that he could look directly at Huo Xingchen's face. "Look at him carefully. Among the three sons, he looks most like you."

Huo Xingchen was being stared at by a pair of emotionless eyes, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He wanted to give a kind smile, but failed after his efforts, so he looked at Huo Yunjing with a cold face as if he was giving up.

He didn't know that when Huo Yunjing was young, he also had a cold face every day, and his smile looked weird.

It took Huo Yunjing half a minute for his expression to change from confusion to thoughtfulness. Then he looked at Huo Xingchen with a frown, and the redness in his eyes slowly faded away.

He stood up and walked in front of Huo Xingchen, raised his hand to compare his height, and sighed: "Almost as tall as dad."

It was a very ordinary sentence, but Huo Xingchen's eyes turned red after hearing it.

After so many years, his father finally recognized him! He thought he would never wait for this day.

"Dad!" Huo Xingchen was so excited that he opened his arms to give his father a long-lost hug.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yunjing flashed back to Gu Qingyin and held Gu Qingyin's hand, saying, "Wife, our son has grown up, but you are still as beautiful as you were back then."

Huo Xingchen suddenly understood the saying on the Internet - parents are true love, children are accidents.
