"Does this thing work?"
Qin Manjiang was deeply skeptical.
In the movies he had seen, they at least had to move back and forth and keep reciting incantations for it to work.
"Taoist, did you forget to recite the incantation?" Qin Manjiang asked.
"Incantations are for fooling people. It's the sound of the bell that works." Old Taoist put away the Three Pure Ones Bell and shook his head. "Unfortunately, the ancient texts record that if a Soul Return Ghost takes a living person's soul, the Three Pure Ones Bell can be used to summon it, but that is not a solution either. To free Miss Qiao, we can only look for another way."

Mei Sijun nodded, however, and said, "I once heard a passage of Yellow Springs Opera that could also draw out souls and cross time and space. I wonder... could that passage of Yellow Springs Opera take us to where Miss Qiao's soul is?"

The coffin sitting in the courtyard seemed to keep drawing her toward it.
"Child..."
Just as Qiao
