Fortunately, Zhang Liying took all the notes mechanically, and she could make up for the class at home at night. While walking to the cafeteria, she was worried about her study situation, she was in her second year of high school and would soon face the college entrance examination. Without parental supervision, I can only rely on my own efforts.

"Let's go...... Eat well...... What have you been confused all morning, talented girl!" Tan Yiping saw that Zhang Liying hadn't adjusted her state all morning, and was going to continue to sit there in a daze after class, so she pulled her to the cafeteria without saying a word.

Zhang Liying still looked listless and followed her mechanically. Tan Yiping kept talking about things in school as usual, but Zhang Liying couldn't listen to it at all, all the sounds followed the contours of her ears, and she didn't know where to go.

"As long as you don't pick up that lamp......" Zhang Liying walked, and another sentence from Tan Yiping, who was side by side with her, floated over, but this time her ears subconsciously caught the last few words.

"Don't pick up that lamp...... What? What did you just say?" Zhang Liying suddenly stopped, grabbed Tan Yiping and shouted.

Tan Yiping was taken aback by her, and looked at her with wide eyes: "What? What's wrong with you?"

"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, say it again, say it again......" Zhang Liying cried out anxiously.

"You are really a person, you never listen to others well!" Tan Yiping glanced at her angrily, slapped Zhang Liying's hand away and reprimanded.

Zhang Liying immediately held her hands and made a statement of repentance, she does have this problem, and she often says things to others*, so only a friend like Tan Yiping can put up with her.

"Princess Yiping, my dear, I know you love me the most! I don't dare anymore, so I beg you to say it again, this time I will prick up my ears and listen! Zhang Liying pulled her ears and pretended to be a pitiful little white rabbit.

"Hmph, I don't want to love you! ”

"I know, I know, dear...... Anyway, you are now empathetic and don't fall in love, and you love Comrade Weilin the most...... But, but, dear...... Princess Yiping, I love you so much, you must love me the most, right......" Zhang Liying hugged Tan Yiping and was coquettish.

Listening to her coquettish speech, Zhang Weilin next to Tan Yiping immediately rushed to the side of the road to vomit, Tan Yiping couldn't stand it, and immediately raised her hand to surrender: "I admit defeat, talented girl, don't you be numb anymore......, I say, I can't talk about it?"

Many teachers and students who do not stay in the dormitory do not go home at noon and come to the cafeteria to eat, so the cafeteria is much more lively now than at night, and it is full of people, and if you come late, you can't even find a seat. Zhang Weilin volunteered to line up to buy lunch for three people, and Zhang Liying and Tan Yiping finally found a corner in the restaurant to sit down.

As soon as Zhang Liying sat down, she couldn't wait to shake Tan Yiping's hand: "Honey, say it quickly, say it quickly." ”

At this time, the cafeteria was full of noise, and Tan Yiping had to raise her voice and say that she had spoken it once before, but Zhang Liying didn't listen to it at all.

"Do you know how Yutong died?" Tan Yiping asked mysteriously as she leaned close to her ear.

"Know!" Zhang Liying blurted out, but immediately realized that this was not good, so she changed her words in time, "Heart disease." ”

"Cut, you also believe the deceptive words of the school! Didn't you see her death with your own eyes? Do you dare to say that it was a heart attack?" Tan Yiping glanced at her and approached her and asked.

Zhang Liying replied honestly: "No." ”

"I knew you wouldn't be so stupid, tell you, Yutong's real cause of death was because her life was borrowed by someone! Her life became someone else's, then of course she died!" Tan Yiping said something that sounded like a bolt from the blue to Zhang Liying's ears.

"What? you, what are you talking about, borrowing, borrowing ......" Zhang Liying's tongue could barely move, and she stammered.

"Yes, don't you know, there is a kind of evil art in this world, which can lend the life of a healthy person to a person who is dying, and then the person who is robbed of his life will die immediately, and the death will be the same as Yutong, as if time has been turned back for decades, and he will grow old immediately! It's terrible, right? There is such an evil art in the world! And the person who can do this kind of evil magic has also chosen someone from our school to do it!"

Truly scary. Not only is that evil art terrifying, but what is even more terrifying is how did Tan Yiping know about it? The ghost master is a very hidden identity, and this kind of evil art is rare in history, and even the ghosts don't know much.

Thanks to the black beans, Zhang Liying and Ji Ao have the opportunity to learn about those distant pasts. Tan Yiping is a friend she has known for more than ten years, is she a hidden master...... Ji Ao, don't they often say that folk cultivators are the best at hiding their talents and not revealing them, and they often pretend to be ordinary people.

Tan Yiping saw Zhang Liying looking at herself in surprise, thinking that she was frightened by what she said, so she stuck out her tongue and said:

"You don't have to be so afraid, because it is said that to borrow a person's life, one has to go through a ritual, which happens in a person's dream. The dreamer dreams that he has arrived in a terrible place, and his dearest person is waiting there with a lamp in his hand, and he will smile and hand him the lamp.

At this time, you must remember, don't take it, as long as you don't take it, he can't help you, because he can't force you to take it, otherwise it won't be called borrowing your life but robbing your life! So you must remember, don't just ask for other people's things, this is a truth from the ages, even if you dream that someone gives you something in your dream, even if it is given by me, you don't take it!"

What Tan Yiping said is basically true. Except that the ritual is a call to the soul and not in a dream, which is basically the same as the truth, Zhang Liying hurriedly asked: "Can you be more specific?"

Of course, Tan Yiping would not object to such a proposal, and when she took the meal handed over by Zhang Weilin, she didn't even have time to take the chopsticks, and said:

"I've heard that the ritual goes like this: after you fall asleep, you dream that a man will come and lead you and take you away and walk and walk to a terrible place. At this time, you will find yourself lost, and then, you will see the person you trust the most in the dark, holding a lamp for you to walk the way, and hand the lamp to you, and once you take it, your life will be gone......"

"Yiping, how do you know this?" asked Zhang Liying tentatively.

"Except for you! Zhang Weilin shrugged his shoulders, and very naturally finished sandwiching the beef and braised pork on Tan Yiping's plate, Tan Yiping tapped his plate with chopsticks to warn, "Didn't I tell you? Don't just eat meat, what about the vegetables I told you to take? Yes, it was rumored in the school early in the morning, what have you been doing all morning? Why don't you know anything?"

"The whole school is passing on?" Zhang Liying muttered and rubbed her temples.

Although the rumor does not mention the ghost master, it accurately describes the ritual of borrowing life, which is obviously an error caused by the rumor in the process of spreading, and the first person to release the rumor must know the truth of the borrowing life.

"Who said that first?" Zhang Liying asked, but she didn't have any hope of getting an answer, she definitely didn't tell anyone in the school about it, so who did this "real rumor" spread from?

Sure enough, Tan Yiping looked at her inexplicably: "Everyone in the school says that, how do I know who said it first? Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just think this guy has a lot of potential to write fantasy novels. Zhang Liying shrugged.

She really couldn't imagine that there was still a master like Ji Ao and they said in this school, a cultivator who was very knowledgeable, and even knew about the events of thousands of years ago, did anyone really know about the evil arts of the ghost master?

Could it be that the person who spread this rumor was the ghost master himself? Impossible, right? He should most hope that no one would know that Yutong did not die a normal death, how could he spread the truth.

What kind of person is that? Who would know those things like Black Bean, a thousand-year-old ghost? A human who knows the ghost master is near him......

Zhang Liying couldn't afford to listen to the lecture all morning, but after lunch, she suddenly became energetic and her ears were pricked up.

Of course, this is not the credit of the school chefs, although sometimes their skills do have the effect of "bringing people back to life", but Zhang Liying is nervous and confused, hardly eating, and of course not getting the help of food.

Zhang Liying's spirit was refreshed, and it was because of the inspiration of that true rumor that she suddenly perked up.

So, Zhang Liying wasted another afternoon of class, this time, not only did she not listen to the teacher's lecture, but she also remembered the notes incompletely, and she spent an afternoon sorting out the rumors.

Now that the rumor has spread in the school, Zhang Liying believes that there will definitely be different versions of the rumor, and the version closest to the truth is the one closest to the person who released this source......

Throughout the afternoon, in addition to handing out notes and texting to classmates in other classes, Zhang Liying was busy recording various versions of rumors and where they were collected. Tan Yiping, a tablemate who was forced by her to keep texting people she knew in various classes, was baffled by her sudden enthusiasm for rumors, but no matter how Tan Yiping asked, Zhang Liying said: "I think it's funny." ”

Zhang Liying was deeply disturbed by her increasingly sophisticated methods of deceiving her friends: "I'm sorry, dear Yiping, I lied to you again and again, but I really can't say it...... When one day Ji Ao can move freely, I will tell you what happened, Yiping, please live longer than me...... If I can't tell you before I die, I'll give you a dream when I die......"

Now Ji Ao is stuck in the painting, if he is known by the evil ghosts, his situation can only be slaughtered, so Zhang Liying must not say anything about him and about ghosts, evil ghosts, and the underworld for his safety. However, recently, his body, which was stuck and immobile, has gradually begun to improve, and in any case, it is always good to have hope.

"Smack!" Tan Yiping suddenly reached out and knocked her head.

"Why are you beating me?" asked Zhang Liying holding her head aggrievedly.

"You just stared at me with a wicked smile on your face, it's probably not a good thing! I just warned you in advance!" Tan Yiping looked at her with full reason.

"How can I laugh wickedly...... I just want to give you a dream when we die...... Die of old age, hehehehe, I guarantee that I will live to die of more than 100 years of old age!" Zhang Liying saw that Tan Yiping's face began to be gloomy again, and hurriedly changed her words cheekily.

"Hmph...... This princess is in a bad mood these days, don't always be dead and alive and unhappy!" Tan Yiping commanded unashamedly, and before she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

The two quickly forgot all about their previous unhappiness. Just as they were laughing happily, a stern voice came from the podium: "Zhang Liying, Tan Yiping, if you want to laugh enough to go out and laugh, don't affect others!"
