Chapter 547: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
The old scholar paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's Grandma Sun." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing the old scholar's words, Shen Yuheng reflexively felt unbelieving, but there was another voice in her heart that kept admonishing her, telling her to believe the old scholar's words.
"Grandma Sun is more than 100 years old. Shen Yuheng was powerless to argue, but he saw a mocking smile suddenly appear on the old scholar's face.
"Not to be more than a hundred years old, she is nearly a thousand years old, and when the city of vain death has not become like this, she will keep those souls in captivity, and when her life is at the end of her life, she will use these souls to renew her life, and Ai Yao...... It's probably the hundredth soul she's raised. β
The old scholar sneered.
Originally, she could use Ai Yao's soul to renew her life, but this new soul is not so easy to get along with, he wants Ai Yao to make room for him, and Grandma Sun wants to use Ai Yao's soul to continue her life, and now, it is a dead knot. β
The old scholar was also captive by Grandma Sun back then, but he was smarter, and escaped after discovering Grandma Sun's tricks, and Grandma Sun was still a beautiful woman, and later because she failed to get the soul of the old scholar, Grandma Sun had to find a soul at will, but after all, what she found at random could not compare to what she had been raising, and Grandma Sun would become what she is today.
"But she's a historian. Shen Yuheng looked at the old scholar quietly, Granny Sun claimed to be a historian, but if she was a historian, how could she do such a thing?
The smile on the corner of the old scholar's mouth was even more mean, he was gentle and elegant before his death, and he was gentle after his death, he rarely had such a snarky appearance, but when it came to Grandma Sun, he had no other expression to face except for being scathing.
No, maybe you can face Granny Sun with a hateful expression.
"Historian? It's just that she once used the soul of a historian to continue her life, but she didn't expect that the historian's will was too strong, so that she was sometimes swayed by the historian's will. β
The historian was also a strange woman back then, but she met a wolf-hearted person like Granny Sun, and finally died a miserable death.
So that's the case, Shen Yuheng already believed eight points in his heart, but he still had a look of disbelief on his face.
Since this is the case, it makes sense that Granny Sun wants her to protect Ai Yao, Granny Sun herself is afraid that she will not be able to protect Ai Yao, if she is preempted by the new soul, it is estimated that it will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and now Grandma Sun can't afford to gamble.
If there were no souls to give her life, she would have died in the dawn like these souls, without even a chance to be reincarnated.
It seems that the people who have reached the end of their lives in the city may not always stay in the city of the dead, but it is clear that there are still the majority who can stay.
Otherwise, the city of vain death would not be overcrowded.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the clouds broke through the moon, and the sky was full of stars, and in the east, a touch of red had gradually overflowed, but it took up half of the sky in a moment.
The first rays of sunlight filled the earth.
Shen Yuheng clearly saw those souls turning into ashes in the sunlight, but the souls beside them did not react, as if they had just seen something ordinary.
As the sunlight dispelled the darkness, the moon and the stars, the figures of the spirits disappeared or turned to ashes.
The early vendor yawned and opened the door, and in the morning mist, the bustle of the city of vain came from afar, as if it were only the blink of an eye, and the city came to life again.
The crowds of people coming and going, the hawkers who kept shouting, and the rising heat, as if everything just now was just an illusion of Shen Yuheng.
The spirits had been reduced to ashes as if they had never existed, and none of them mentioned their names, and no one lamented their disappearance.
"See, this is the city of the dead. The old scholar's voice was filled with a bit of inexplicable sadness.
"Those who died, no one will remember, and even the traces of their existence will be erased one by one, as if they never existed in this world. β
The old scholar's voice was very heavy, and when he heard it in Shen Yuheng's ears, he also carried an unspeakable sadness.
In a way, this is cruel excesses.
"But I'm an exception. The old scholar smiled bitterly, "I don't know why I'm the exception, I'm the only one in the entire city of vain, hard remembering those who have died, hard remembering these things that no one else will remember." β
"But why are you sure I'm the same as you?"
The old scholar picked up the gongs and lanterns on the ground, and the expression on his face carried a strange calmness, but also a little certainty.
"Because you're alive. The old scholar smiled, and the figure carrying the gong gradually moved away.
Because she is still alive? Shen Yuheng thoughtfully recalled this sentence, only feeling that there seemed to be some deep meaning in the old scholar's words, but she couldn't explore the deeper secrets.
"Why is Sister Shen here?" Ai Yao hugged Shen Yuheng and tilted her head to look at Shen Yuheng curiously, the leaves of her clothes kept swaying, and she seemed to be very happy.
Ai Yao's clothes were a little dusty, but Ai Yao didn't know if he didn't find it, or if he found it but didn't care, he still hugged the flower pot in his arms tightly.
Shen Yuheng looked at Ai Yao, and couldn't imagine how Granny Sun could handle such a naΓ―ve Ai Yao.
The girl she raised with her own hands was pushed into a dead end, did Grandma Sun really bear it?
However, this is not a question that Shen Yuheng has to think about, she just wants to explore what is strange in this vain city as soon as possible!
"Yesterday the moonlight was very good, I came out to admire the moon, why did Ai Yao get up so early today?" Shen Yuheng rubbed Ai Yao's little brain melon and asked with a smile.
Ai Yao really shifted her attention from Shen Yuheng to herself here, only to see her stretch out a hand and scratch the back of her head, but the unstable center of gravity almost fell from her arms, thanks to Shen Yuheng's quick help, he didn't let the fall fall apart.
He waved the little leaf and kept patting his chest, and muttered "scared me to death, scared me to death" for a long time.
"Demon, you see, you just don't have enough brains because you refuse to eat me, right? You have to eat me quickly, if you don't eat me, I'm going to rot, and I'm going to be very difficult to eat...... rotten."
Before Ai Yao could come up with a reason, she was attracted by the broken thoughts of the concubine, and she immediately puffed out her cheeks and debated with the concubine.
"I can't eat you, I'm a friend, Ai Yao can't eat a friend!"
"No, it's food, and plants and humans can't be friends!"
The two began to chatter, and Shen Yuheng couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, looking at Ai Yao, the mood will improve. (To be continued.) )
