Gathering Array (Catching Insects)
Lou Ming has been getting up very late these days. Recently, he dreams as soon as he falls asleep, so his sleep quality is very bad, and he even has dark circles.
Lou Ming didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he sat in the study and picked up his pen to draw last night's dream. To be precise, from the beginning of his dream, the first thing he did when he woke up every day was to record the content of the dream he still remembered with paper and pen.
Lou Ming looked at the thing he had just finished drawing. On the white paper were figures made of strange lines crisscrossing. It looked disorganized, but it also revealed a special artistic conception. This image was what he remembered the most clearly in his dream last night.
“What are these?”
"This is a book that records metaphysical methods."
"Xuanmen Formation?" The woman picked up a book casually and turned to the first page, "Spirit Gathering Formation? What is the function of?"
"This formation can gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth in one place, and can make the spiritual energy within the range of the spirit gathering array more abundant and convenient for cultivation."
“Is there anything more practical?”
“Practical? What?”
"Just... You see, the weather is so hot in summer. Is there any formation that can make the surroundings less hot?"
"Not yet, why don't I...I'll study it?"
The end of the dream is the girl's satisfied smile.
Lou Ming suddenly stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, stretched out one hand to reach the sunlight outside the window. After his fair palm stayed in the sun for a while, Lou Ming felt a sense of heat.
The weather is very hot today!
After confirming this, Lou Ming turned around and went downstairs and met He Qi who came to call him for dinner.
"San Young Master, lunch is ready." He Qi said.
"Let's eat later." Lou Ming walked out without looking back.
He Qi followed out strangely, and saw that his third young master walked all the way to a rockery in the yard, which was the center of the formation of the spirit gathering array arranged by Master Mao.
Lou Ming looked at the array eyes carefully and suddenly found that these rock decorations that should have been disorganized in his eyes suddenly had a regular pattern. What does this mean? This means that the things he dreamed of may exist.
In order to verify his conjecture, Lou Ming planned to improve the spirit gathering array arranged by Master Mao. If the formation in the dream is real, then Master Mao's spirit gathering array will be relatively rough.
Lou Ming has always been a practical person, so he immediately bent down and started to change the formation with the original materials. This formation is originally simple (relative to Lou Ming now). Lou Ming only moved a few points and the formation was changed.
I don’t know if it was an illusion. After about a minute, the temperature in the courtyard dropped several degrees instantly, and a clear coolness moved into Lou Ming’s pores through the thin-walled shirt. Lou Ming stood up happily, unable to believe that he had successfully transformed it?
As if to confirm Lou Ming’s guess, He Qi walked out with a thin coat and put it on Lou Ming while saying, “I just said I wanted to change my short sleeves, but the temperature dropped just like that?”
It seemed that it was not his illusion. Lou Ming couldn't help but feel a little excited. He put on his coat and ordered: "Call Master Mao and say that some changes have occurred in the spirit gathering array."
Because of his physical condition, Lou Ming was not very sensitive to the spiritual energy around him, but the temperature change surprised him. He couldn't wait to share it with Master Mao.
"Yes." He Qiyi immediately became nervous when he heard that there was a change in the spirit gathering array.

The Lu family’s villa is in a valley at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. Even those who do not understand Feng Shui can sense that there is a lot of spiritual energy in the air after entering the villa group. The Feng Shui here must be excellent.
"Our family originally lived in the imperial capital, but later my mother was not in good health, so my dad bought a villa here." Lu Ning pointed to a small white western-style building in the innermost place and introduced to Chen Yu, "That's my family."
Chen Yu nodded in response.
After a while, the car stopped at the door of the Lu family. When Chen Yu followed the Lu family and his son in the door, Lu's mother was already waiting in the living room, with the Yan family brother and sister standing next to her.
"Shi Shi, you are here." Mother Lu smiled gently at Chen Yu.
"Hello Auntie." Chen Yu greeted him obediently, and then smiled at Yan Wei, who nodded to her. As for Yan Xin, Chen Yu pretended to have no idea about each other.
"How do you feel?" Lu Jinjiang saw his wife waiting in the living room, and walked over in a hurry. The night before yesterday, his wife had a discomfort to the Taishan Stone. Now his soul has lost the suppression of the Taishan Stone, which is the time to be unstable.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Mother Lu looked up at her husband, her eyes filled with tenderness that could not be dissolved.
Lu Jinjiang was still worried, so he personally checked his wife's condition, then frowned slightly and said, "Are you dizzy again?"
Mama Lu’s soul is unstable, and her initial symptom is continuous dizziness.
"Not too dizzy." Mother Lu shook her head.
"Don't shake your head, you're dizzy and can't shake your head." Lu Jinjiang quickly stopped his wife from self-abuse.
Lu Jinjiang didn't want Chen Yu to give his wife a soul-squeezing curse as soon as he entered the door, but when he saw his wife holding back her dizzy and saying that she was fine, Lu Jinjiang couldn't help feeling distressed and looked back at Chen Yu and said, "Little Friend Chen, soul-squeezing curse..."
Chen Yu naturally understood what the other party meant, and walked towards Lu's mother when he heard this. That night, Chen Yu had actually simply investigated Lu's mother's soul condition, but to be cautious, Chen Yu decided to re-check it.
"Mother Lu's soul is still stable, and it will not be too uncomfortable to apply the Soul-Suppressing Spell at this time." The Soul-Suppressing Spell is directly imprinted on the soul, and the floating three souls and seven spirits need to be forcibly suppressed. If the Three Souls and Seven Spirits are too restless, the person involved will be more painful. Fortunately, Mother Lu's soul was suppressed by the Taishan Stone before, and although the Taishan Stone has been removed, it is still stable.
"Then I'll trouble you, Xiaoyou Chen." Lu Jinjiang asked.
If there were any doubts before, after seeing Mr. Wu again, Lu Jinjiang's doubts were completely dispelled. The reason why he was able to rescue his wife from the underworld was originally a blessing from Mr. Wu. Such a metaphysics master who came and went freely in the underworld and could overturn the ghost maid with his hand. It would be nothing strange that the master has the inherited soul-suppressing spell.
"It's okay to impose the soul-suppressing spell, but there is one thing I have to explain clearly in advance." Chen Yu thought about it and planned to tell the truth.
"Ti Shi, what's the matter?" Lu Ning said in confusion.
"I forgot to tell you that day." Chen Yu said, "I remember the soul-suppressing spell and know how to cast the spell, but I can't guarantee the effect of the soul-suppressing spell."
"What do you mean?" Lu Ning said in confusion, "Since it is a soul-suppressing curse, it is naturally useful. What does it mean to not guarantee the effect?"
"Uh..." How can I explain this? I can't say that a soul-suppressing spell suddenly popped up in my mind. I seriously suspect it was a spell I imagined after I fell asleep.
"My friend Chen, please say anything." Lu Jinjiang said with a hint of embarrassment when Chen Yu was embarrassed.
Chen Yu organized some language and said, "Although this soul-suppressing spell has been recorded in the classics of our sect, neither my grandfather nor I have used it. Because I have not practiced it, I cannot guarantee the effect of the soul-suppressing spell."
This statement was something Chen Yu had just thought of. What he saw from the sect classics was always more reliable than what he saw from his dreams.
In fact, Chen Yu has now regretted it. Why did he agree to Lu Ning come to the Lu family to help cast the Soul-Shenzhen Curse?
Fortunately, Chen Yu was sure that this soul-suppressing spell would not have any bad effects on the soul, otherwise Chen Yu would have turned around and left, and he would not try it.
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the Lu family father and son were silent. Yan Xin was a little anxious. She seemed to want to say something but was stopped by her brother beside her.
"It's okay." Mother Lu was the first to break the silence and said with a smile, "I will give you the soul-suppressing spell, no matter whether you succeed or not."
"Mom..." Lu Ning turned around nervously.
Lu Jinjiang looked at his wife with a complicated expression, then turned to Chen Yu, and finally he had the upper hand in his heart's admiration for Mr. Wu. I think the disciples of Luohe Real People, the sect classics of Luohe Real People, will not be fake: "My friend Chen, I understand what you mean. Whether it succeeds or not, the Lu family will be grateful to you."
"Why are you so nervous?" Chen Yu asked with an innocent face, "If you fail, you won't have any bad effects on your aunt. At most, you can just maintain the status quo. Why do you all look like you are facing a great enemy?"
"..." This is Lu Ning.
"..." This is Lu Jinjiang.
"Puchi..." This is the mother Lu who couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, they're just nervous."
The Lu family father and son looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, both of whom understood that they were over-worrying.
"Young Master Chen, do you need to prepare something in advance?" Lu Jinjiang asked.
"Just prepare a quiet room." Chen Yu said, "There is plenty of spiritual energy here, enough for me to use the Soul-Suppressing Spell."
Because after applying the soul-suppressing spell, Lu's mother would be in a coma for a while, so Lu Jinjiang finally set the location in the bedroom of the couple. He took Lu Ning and the Yan brothers and sisters outside the door. Although he was very nervous, he didn't know what to do.
"Brother Lu Ning, Auntie will be fine." Yan Xin couldn't help but comfort her.
"Yeah, thank you." Lu Ning nodded.
In the room separated by a wall, Chen Yu asked Lu's mother to lie directly on the bed and instructed: "Aunt Lin, I will use the soul-suppressing spell in a while. The process may be a little uncomfortable, so bear it."
"Shi Shi, you have nothing to worry about, aunt is not afraid." Mother Lu comforted Chen Yu in turn.
"Then you close your eyes and wake up after sleeping." Chen Yu said.
Mother Lu closed her eyes as she spoke, Chen Yu pointed her finger at Mother Lu's eyebrows, and then gently hooked her, Mother Lu's soul floated up from her body.
It's so easy to be hooked out? It seems that the soul is even more unstable than I imagined.
While observing Lu's mother's soul, Chen Yu secretly prayed, hoping that this soul-suppressing spell would be successful, so that Lu Ning's favor to send him a soul-summoning bell would be considered rewarded.
Two minutes after the soul left the body, one of the three souls suddenly separated from the main soul. Chen Yu's expression changed and he reached out to gather the souls together again.
The effect of the soul-suppressing spell requires the imprint of the soul-suppressing spell on the three souls and seven spirits, and then a new stable form is formed between the three souls and seven spirits through special spells.
Although it will be much easier to brand after the three souls and seven spirits are separated, if the three souls and seven spirits are completely separated, the Tianshi master with low cultivation cannot even gather his soul. Even if he can gather it, the three souls and seven spirits after the completely separated are forcibly gathered by the soul-suppressing spell, which will bring great pain to the body.
So Chen Yu said before that Lu's soul would be relatively stable, but what Chen Yu didn't expect was that Lu's soul would separate so quickly after leaving his body. Chen Yu frowned and stared at Lu's soul with all his concentration. He found the positions of the three souls and seven souls at the fastest speed, and then quickly branded it.
This process consumed Chen Yu's great mental and spiritual power. After doing this, a row of sweat beads appeared on Chen Yu's forehead. However, the formation fish did not dare to stop and rest, because Lu's three souls and seven spirits were constantly trying to separate. Chen Yu had to grit his teeth and silently recite the spell.
Ten exactly-same soul-suppressing seals lit up among the three souls and seven spirits of Lu Mama, and then a thin golden thread suddenly lit up. Starting from the edge of the mark, ten marks were tightly connected one by one until the three souls and seven spirits no longer tried to separate.
Chen Yu stopped and looked at the soul that had condensed a lot. He knew that the soul-suppressing spell had almost been completed. The rest was to wait until the soul returned to its original body and wake up and be completely successful.
Chen Yu raised his hand and sent Lu's soul back to his body. The mark of the soul-suppressing spell sensed Chen Yu's spiritual power and suddenly flashed for a moment. Chen Yu was stunned and a conversation suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Did you remember nothing after drinking Mengpo soup?"
"Of course."
"But what if there are people and things you don't want to forget?"
"Reincarnation is rebirth, and we should have forgotten it."
“I mean if.”
"Mengpo Soup washes away the memories in the mind, but the memories imprinted on the soul will not be forgotten even if they are reincarnated."
Soul branding? Does it refer to the soul-suppressing spell?
And... why did I suddenly know this? Chen Yu rarely thought about it.
