Chapter 208 The Torn Soul

"I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I was more annoyed than scared."

"I rushed downstairs."

"The monk was still in the rain. He didn't hold an umbrella and didn't leave."

"He's waiting for me."

"He knew I was coming for him."

"He said that he had been ordered to guard the soul of a female general for thousands of years. In order to protect the people of a certain area, this general carried a sword and had to commit thousands of murders."

"Because of her murderous karma, she was supposed to go to hell."

"However, the local people were grateful for her kindness and decided to build a temple in her honor."

"On the days when she died, countless people climbed to the top of the mountain without fear of hardship - because this is the place closest to heaven."

"Thousands of people, each carrying a basket of soil, climbed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain with great difficulty."

"Everyone builds the temple with all their heart, brick by brick, plant and tree, all with their grateful hearts."

"The people pray to heaven: General Ling is for them. She cannot be allowed to go to hell. The top of the mountain is the place closest to God."

"So, the sky was moved and was willing to give the female general a chance."

"The female general's soul is placed in the clay sculpture. She is sleeping. As long as the incense continues for eight hundred years, she can be reincarnated as a human being."

"Several soldiers who had been greatly favored by the general were ordained and became monks. They served with peace of mind and took turns to reincarnate and stick to the clay sculptures."

"However, in the 793rd year, some stupid tomb robbers heard somewhere that there was a treasure hidden in this clay sculpture. They climbed to the top of the mountain and broke open the clay sculpture while the monk was away."

"That heroic spirit's soul was torn apart."

"Part of the soul was reincarnated first."

"A part of the soul is still left in the clay sculpture."

"He was ordered to guard the clay sculptures, and he felt sad every day."

"Because a torn soul is incomplete in this life. Those who are reincarnated are either mentally retarded or have weird personalities."

"If you die again, the soul of the heroic spirit will disappear between heaven and earth."

"However, the monk had a dream. In the dream, the monk who took turns serving him in reincarnation read a poem to him."

"I dreamed of returning to the poolside and searching hard, the aura was misty and without a trace.

Between the world of life and death, the years of mortal life are like clouds and smoke.

The seven emotions and six desires all become dreams, and the prosperity of a lifetime is gone in a blink of an eye.

In the seventh year of Mianhu Youmeng, the full moon reunites among the water waves. "

When Cheng Ling heard these lines of ancient poetry, he felt his soul tremble.

Mr. Cheng continued: "This monk chanted beside the half clay sculpture every day, and finally he came to enlightenment."

"There is still a chance to save it."

"The remaining part of the soul is reincarnated. If the other part of the soul can be recalled, then the soul will be complete."

"And the souls who were reincarnated as humans seven years earlier will definitely experience an unexpected death to release their souls."

"How to summon this soul back?"

"How to find the family where the remaining part of the soul was reincarnated?"

"The days are approaching eight hundred years, and the soul in the clay sculpture is about to leave... but the monk never gave any hint."

"Just when he was desperate, he saw me in his dream."

"I appeared in his dreams."

"The monk bowed deeply to me and asked me to find him as soon as possible. It is a matter of heaven and earth, and must not be revealed."

"After that, I woke up."

Mr. Cheng let out a long sigh.

After waking up, he found that he had just slept on his chairman's desk.

It was still raining heavily outside. Old Mrs. Cheng got excited and rushed to the window. However, there was no one beside the street lamp downstairs.

The more Mr. Cheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he ran to his son and daughter-in-law's house. He knew that it seemed that the remaining soul had chosen the Cheng family to be reincarnated!

Mr. Cheng followed what the monk said in his dream and went from temple to temple looking for it.

Finally, he found the monk at the North Peak in the south, took him back, and gave the child in Cheng's mother's belly a name - "Ling".

Just like the name of the ancient general before.

"The old monk told me that as soon as Cheng Ling was born, his eight-hundred-year contract was fulfilled. Soon he would follow the other monks who had served Huling Temple, complete his merits, and pass away to heaven. But Huling Temple cannot be lost. People guard.”

"So, here I come."

"Because the old monk said that the secret must not be leaked, I didn't say anything to your dad. I just told your dad to rely on you in everything, because I didn't dare to intervene too much. If the secret was revealed, I would be afraid. It’s troublesome.”

"However, in order to recall that part of the soul, there must be several conditions."

"First, the person who was reincarnated first must experience death before his soul can be released. When will he die? I don't know."

"Second, the names are the same. Since we have chosen our Cheng family, the name is Cheng Ling."

"Over the years, I have tried my best to secretly check every person named Cheng Ling in China, but unfortunately there is no one who meets the requirements."

"The old monk told me before he died that he could not understand the last sentence."

"In the seventh year of Mianhu Youmeng, once again reunited in the water waves——"

"He speculated that because the clay sculpture was accidentally broken, maybe the soul was not completely divided into two parts, but maybe two large parts and some fine parts. These fine souls need to be stored in the body of a compatriot."

"And this compatriot should be called 'Mianhu'."

"What's more, there is a legend in China - the blood of compatriots can recall the souls floating in the world in chaos. In this way, after you die, your soul can be summoned into your current body."

Mrs. Cheng originally wanted Cheng Baisheng to change his name to Cheng Mianhu, but his son and daughter-in-law received good news of pregnancy.

The little sister she gave birth to was named Mianhu.

"The old monk died not long after. I obeyed his last words and cremated him. The cremated relics are stored in the temple."

"All that's left is waiting."

"I'm waiting for the day when your personality changes drastically."

"And this day has finally come."
