Even she was too lazy to go to family gatherings. She buried herself in the bed as a turtle all day long. Even Tao's braised prawns with oil cannot attract her.

Just when Tao’s parents were at a loss, Qiongqi and Uncle Thirteen came to the door together.

Qiongqi is wearing a capable suit skirt, while Uncle Thirteen is wearing a gray coat, a hair-woven hair, a small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet on his wrist, and a plaque hanging around his neck, looking like a scammer.

Yesterday, Uncle Thirteen was drinking red wine and eating burgundy snails on Champs-Elysia Street in France. Today, he was holding a soy milk cake in his hand and biting a crispy fried dough stick in his mouth. He was "tied" back by Qiongqi.

"I said, "What do you eat to grow up with? I can't beat you even if I have such a strong strength." Uncle Thirteen complained without hesitation.

"Uncle, ancestor, when is it now? You are still poor. You should quickly tell Ati about the jade bell, otherwise she will be really sad to death-"

Uncle Thirteenth wanted to say something else. He looked up and saw his cold-faced brother. When the mouse saw the cat, he immediately restrained his attitude and greeted him obediently, "Brother, sister-in-law, it's soybean. Have you eaten? I haven't eaten this soy milk and sesame cakes..."

"Jade Bell?" Tao's father frowned and thought for a moment. The tiger's eyes burst into surprise, "Thirteen, where is your soul-catching bell?"

Uncle Thirteen lowered his head, stared at his toes, and said angrily, "Give it to Xiao Atti."

Tao’s father and mother took a breath.

Qiongqi was stunned for a moment. Soul-catching bell, this name sounds familiar?

"As the name suggests, the soul-catching bell can absorb human souls. As long as the user is determined to think of a person, after death, his soul will be brought back by the soul-catching bell, and he can directly avoid the reincarnation wheel of the underworld. This is an ancient magic weapon of our Taotie clan, which is very difficult to refine. I have been practicing hard for three thousand years before I can refine such one."

In fact, this magic weapon was originally used as a tool to capture human souls as food. Later... their Taotie tribe turned against the evil and no longer ate people casually, so this magic weapon was gradually buried in the dust of history.

After all, this thing is time-consuming and labor-intensive. With the skill of refining, you can have a lot of meals long ago.

Dad Tao stared at Thirteen with deep eyes, "Thirteen, what are you doing with this thing?"

"I'm not so idle all day long. Let's develop some hobbies. I'll just play this soul-catching bell."

Thiran looked at his elder brother with a sincere look, "If it weren't for the sake of Ati being my niece, I wouldn't have been willing to take out this treasure."

Qiongqi accurately captured the key point and widened her eyes and said, "So, did that bell bring Pei Yan's soul back?"

Without taking Uncle Thirteen to answer, she ran straight to the second floor and patted Taoti's bedroom door.

"Ati, good news!"

The smile on Qiongqi's face froze when she saw the dim and messy room.

I saw Tao Ti wearing a snow-white suspender pajama, like a doll that had been removed from her soul, lying quietly on the bed, eyes were dull and expressionless.

Qiongqi calmed her expression and felt a sense of depression.

She strode to the window, pulled open the curtains with a slam. The bright sunshine outside the house suddenly shone straight into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window.

The room is bright.

Tao Ti subconsciously raised her hand and blocked her eyes.

Qiongqi walked up to her and wanted to say, "But there was no man," but after thinking about it, she still didn't say that.

After all, Atti is different from her.

She sat next to Taoti, looking at her pale and cold face because she hadn't been sunbathed for a long time, and her nose suddenly became a little sore.

"Ati, do you still remember the jade bell I gave you in Dayuan Dynasty?"

"Bell..."

Tao Tixian's thick eyelashes trembled and looked at his wrist, "My bell has been worn on his hands, but for some reason, when I woke up, the red rope was still on his hands, but the bell disappeared."

"ah?"

"What's wrong with this bell? You just said there was good news, what's good news?"

Qiongqi looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, but she still told the story of the soul-catching bell.

After hearing this, Tao Ti was first surprised, then a little disappointed, and finally full of confusion.

She stroked the red rope on her wrist, looked at Qiongqi anxiously, and murmured, "I have always worn that bell. I always wore it when I died, why didn't it disappear? Did they remove it for me when they were burial? It shouldn't be. Ah Xu and Taotao both knew that this bell was very important to me. I told them before that they would take it into the coffin even if they died."

Her Ah Xu and Taotao are obedient children and will never go against her wishes.

So where did this soul-catching bell go?

——

"The soul-catching bell is gone???!!!"

Uncle Thirteen jumped three feet high, and his eyes almost popped out.

Tao Ti was also very panicked and said at a loss, "I don't know what's going on. Uncle Thirteen, is your magic weapon useless?"

Uncle Thirteen, "You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my magic weapon."

Tao Ti, “…”

Uncle Thirteen frowned, touched his chin, pondered for a long time, and said, "Wait, I'll go to the underworld to find a visit. If I'm not taken away by the soul-catching bell, I must have entered the cycle of the underworld. If others die, the soul will eventually have a place to go."

Before Tao Ti could speak, Uncle Thirteen walked to the sofa and sat down. The next second, his soul body floated out.

Tao Ti, “…”

Qiongqi patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll wait with you."

Tao Ti pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and said firmly "Oh".

——

About half an hour later, Uncle Thirteen came back.

His expression became very strange, so strange that everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Tao Ti couldn't help but asked anxiously, "Uncle Thirteen, how is it? Is there any news?"

Uncle Thirteen slowly raised his head. His face, which was always hippie and smiling, was also full of seriousness at this moment, "This matter is a long story."

Tao Ti, "Then you tell me a long story!"

Uncle Thirteen pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, "In general, your man has neither been collected by the soul-catching bell nor has he left the reincarnation procedure in the underworld..."

"Then where did he go?"

Tao Ti's heart was tight. Could it be that the soul-catching bell had some side effects that made Pei Yan's soul scatter?

Uncle Thirteen looked at Tao Ti meaningfully, "Ati, maybe you have heard of the old phoenix who has been sleeping in Nanyu Mountain... Cough cough, am I talking about that god of Jingyuan?"

Taoti, “????”

The little head is full of question marks.

Qiongqi reacted quickly and continued, "The God of Jingyuan? The Phoenix Clan only has the bloodline of the world, the only phoenix among the three realms? He seems to have been sleeping for a long time..."

Tao Ti frowned. She didn't care about the old phoenix. She just wanted to know Pei Yan's whereabouts.

"Uncle Thirteen, don't go too far, let's talk about Pei Yan."

"Uh, Yan Jun told me that after Pei Yan's life was over, his soul went straight toward Nanyu Mountain." Uncle Thirteen swallowed,

"And then, the old phoenix who had been sleeping for 30,000 years woke up."

Tao Ti, “…”

Taoti, “???!!!”
