Entering the stairs, Jiang Yu felt a little claustrophobic, probably because of the long aging, the lights in the elevator kept flickering, which made people feel uncomfortable.

The fifth floor soon opened automatically to the antelope ladder, Jiang Yu walked out, the energy-saving lights in the corridor were already on, the elevator was adjacent to the stairs, there were five rooms on each side, and 505 was the last room on the left hand of the elevator.

Jiang Yu soon came to the door, knocked lightly, the door was quickly opened, as soon as the door was opened, Jiang Yu smelled the fragrance with the smell of herbs, the woman was standing next to the doorknob in a red pajamas, and said with a gentle smile on her face at this time: "Please come in, my husband is still taking a bath, and I will come out later." ”

"Sister is so young!" Jiang Yu's words were meaningful.

"It's an old woman in her forties and fifties, and she's young there. The woman stroked her somewhat sickly face with a happy expression.

The woman motioned for Jiang Yu to sit on the sofa, and then went to pour a glass of water for her, and after Jiang Yu thanked her, she picked up the warm tea and lowered her eyes and asked, "Sister hasn't been out for a long time?"

"Well, I have a rare and strange disease called 'impotophobia), and the slightest touch of sunlight causes pain and spots on my skin. ”

The woman looked a little sad when she came here, and seemed to yearn for the bright sunshine outside the door.

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "I have heard of this disease, it is a very painful disease. ”

Jiang Yu saw that the woman's expression was still immersed in sadness, and he couldn't help but change the topic and said, "My sister's perfume smells so good!"

When the woman heard this, she immediately smiled, and seemed to agree with this matter, "Yes, I also think that my husband picked it from the mountains to cure my illness." ”

"So it's not a perfume?"

Nuru nodded and said, "Mmmm! is a white plant." ”

Jiang Yu didn't drink the tea in his hand, put the tea in his hand back at this time, and then was about to ask other questions when he found Shi Lei walking out of the bathroom wearing boxers.

Obviously, Shi Lei was very shocked when he saw Jiang Yu, and he was stunned for a while, and his wife's eyes lit up at this time, and she said happily: "You finally came out, your students have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Oh... Wife, can you come into the room and help me get my clothes?" Shi Lei looked at Jiang Yu's eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What are you going to wear?"

Shi Lei said softly: "It's the one I often wore last year." ”

Seeing his wife enter the room, Shi Lei casually took a pair of short-sleeved pants and then motioned for Jiang Yu to go out with him, Jiang Yu nodded and said that it was no problem.

"Wife, I found the dress, I'll go out with the students first, and I'll be back in a while. ”

Without waiting for the woman to answer, Shi Lei closed the door and took Jiang Yu downstairs, and the two remained silent until they got into the black car.

Shi Lei closed the window and turned on the air conditioner in the car, and said in a flat voice: "How do you know that I live here?"

"I've been following you after school. ”

Shi Lei nodded and knew that there was nothing else but this answer, and his voice was still flat: "Why are you following me?"

"I think you know this question very well, teacher. ”

Shi Lei looked at the expressionless Jiang Yu in the rearview mirror, and said with a deep sigh: "How much do you know about this?"

"Almost all. ”

Shi Lei pinched the steering wheel and said in a somewhat dull voice: "When did you suspect it?"

Shi Lei felt that he had asked a very stupid question, but Jiang Yu still answered truthfully: "At first, I just thought that you, teacher, were entangled by some evil thing that caused the loss of Shouyuan, although this loss is not too big. ”

Later, after I gave the teacher a bronze talisman but was refused, I still didn't think much about it, and when I returned to my accommodation, I realized that the fragrance on the teacher's body and in the car was a little strange, and after inquiry, I learned that the fragrance came from the plants in the legend. ”

When he arrived here, Lei's expression changed, and now he really confirmed that Jiang Yu knew all the truth.

Jiang Yu didn't seem to notice Shi Lei's expression, and continued with admiration at this time: "Soul bamboo shoots, one centimeter long a year, ten years into a section, a hundred years of maturity, the appearance is as smooth as bamboo shoots, burning without smoke, smelling fragrant. ”

"When mortals smell it, they can pass through ghosts and gods, and when they smell it in their souls, they can touch ordinary things, also known as rhino horn incense. ”

Shi Lei's eyes were red at this time, and he seemed to think of something sad.

"What do you want to do with so many of you?"

Jiang Yu sighed and said: "The people of the world are ignorant and regard rhino horn as a soul bamboo shoot, causing a species to disappear, just to covet the beauty of the world, but in the end everything is empty. ”

Shi Lei gritted his teeth, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "Who are you?"

"I'm just a freshman!"

Shi Lei didn't believe Jiang Yu's words at all at this time, and said with a vigilant face: "How much can a student know?

"The teacher doesn't have to be so nervous, I don't want to get anything! I'm just curious if the teacher doesn't feel painful to do this?"

Shi Lei looked at Jiang Yu's expression and was silent for a long time, and seeing that Jiang Yu had no other intentions, he let go of his clenched fist, and said with a somewhat reminiscent expression: "I only brought her here last year..."

"I used to be a student at this school, majoring in botany, and after graduating, I happened to see this plant from the ancient books of my hometown, and trekked into the deep mountains and old forests, just to see the true face of this plant. ”

"The hard work paid off, and after five years of searching, I finally found it, and there were a lot of them. ”

Shi Lei's eyes flickered, and his words revealed excitement.

"At that time, I seemed to have seen a bright future ahead of me. I dug up five by hand, each at least a meter, but very lightweight. ”

"I didn't tell anyone about it when I got home, including my wife, and I wanted to tell them it was there after I did the experiment. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu seemed to see a man who was obsessed with plants.

However, after many times of my own practice, I did not see the so-called ghosts and gods, and at that moment I felt that my dream had collapsed, and the whole person was in a state of confusion. ”

Jiang Yu understood what it was like for a man who had lost his purpose and had fallen.

"Although I have changed, my wife has never complained, and she has never cared about gossiping, and she takes care of me every time she goes to work. ”

A warm smile appeared on Shi Lei's face when he arrived here, Jiang Yu could imagine how deep the bond between his wife was by this man now.

"Because of my wife, I slowly cheered up, and although I was not in botany, I had a solid foundation and a degree certificate, and I easily applied for a job as a teacher at the university, and I thought that I would be able to live happily with my wife from then on. ”

"When I was thirty-five years old, my husband and wife were ready to have a child, but they couldn't conceive for a long time, so they went to the hospital for examination, and the doctor was my wife, and she was unable to have children for life, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. ”

Jiang Yu could imagine what kind of blow it would be for this kind of thing to happen to a woman.

"After a long time of fruitless treatment, my wife began to lose weight and temper, and her temper became irritable, and she often insulted me and threw things at me to get out, but how could I leave, and then she barely stepped out of the room except for eating or sleeping, and she would not pay attention to me, just like me at the beginning. ”

"But one night she came out of the door with a cold look on her face, but I was glad that I thought she wanted to come out at last... However, her first words were divorce. ”

Shi Lei looked a little sad, licked his lips and continued: "I knew at the time that her so-called divorce was just to get me away, in order to let me have a better life, but she didn't know that I couldn't live without her in the good life I wanted." ”

"I'm very angry, my voice is roaring, I want me to give up on you because I don't want to have children, do you know how selfish you are like this, do you know that I can't live after losing you, even for a second. I, you really want to get me away, then I'll let myself go now. ”

Jiang Yu had some understanding in his heart when Lei would do what he was doing.

"Then she cried all night, and secondly, our husband and wife got better, she figured it out, and she found a light job after a period of cultivation. Our life is back to the past, that warm, beautiful and happy life. ”

Shi Lei closed his eyes here with an intoxicated expression, and when he opened his eyes again, his face revealed an extremely painful and sad look.

Jiang Yu knew that the next thing was the reason why this man used soul bamboo shoots, and Jiang Yu at this time even couldn't bear to listen, he knew that it must be a depressing thing.

"A good life until five years ago, it was a heavy rainstorm, because of the rain and fog, then she worked overtime in the company until half past ten, I went to pick her up, she drove the car, and refused!"

Shi Lei's expression revealed a deep sense of remorse, and he took a deep breath and continued: "At that time, I was waiting for her to come back after making a supper, but I didn't see anyone for half an hour, and then her call came, I thought she was back, but I didn't expect ......"

"After that, I wanted to kill myself several times, but I was afraid that I would not be able to see her after I died, so I thought of the soul bamboo shoots, which were like life-saving straw plants, and I turned them out in the basement of my house and was put up by my wife to talk about the soul bamboo shoots, I tried but failed, and then I looked through the books again, and finally let me find them two years ago. ”

Shi Lei's eyes shimmered, and he seemed to be a little excited, "The correct use of soul bamboo shoots requires the most beloved objects of the deceased to summon spirits, and it took me more than half a year to summon souls alone......"

"And to my comfort, she seemed to have forgotten a lot of things, so I told her that she had a strange illness and could only go out at night, so I took her here so that no one else knew about it, and because I graduated from this school and because I had been teaching for many years, I got the job......"

Shi Lei's story was told completely, and he let out a long breath, and sharing the secret made him feel a little happy.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment after hearing this: "But do you know that your longevity with her is slowly being consumed." ”

"Do you have someone you love?" Shi Lei looked at Jiang Yu and asked rhetorically.

Jiang Yu suddenly understood, sighed and took out a copper talisman, pinched his sword finger and condensed a trace of qi towards his finger lightly, the blood slowly flowed out, the blood at this time seemed to have life, as the Xuan Zhenqi drilled into the copper talisman, a burst of red light flashed, and a talisman with a mysterious spell was made.

"This bronze talisman can slow down the passage of your longevity and can contain a soul body, but it can only hold one, as for how you want to use it, you can decide for yourself!"

Jiang Yu put down the bronze talisman and got out of the car, Jiang Yu now believes that feelings can really cross all obstacles, even if it is life and death.
