Chapter 420 Afterimage (I)

Ji Ziyang's body shook, and he was distracted and detached from my body.

"That sentence...... That's what I just said......" Ji Ziyang sighed.

"That's right, I've just rewind the time a little bit, since I saw a lot of afterimages in the main hall, I started to try slowly, although I can't fully grasp this talent yet, but now I can see the point in time I can already extrapolate almost an hour forward. In other words, my talent is like a kind of video player, and I can adjust the playback time at will. And the soul imprint I just told you about, some of them will still stay even after the soul has ascended, although not in all places, but in all special places. And the place where I am now is such a special place. The Jiang family's mansion and the ancestral tomb of the Kui family can retain the traces of life or soul movements here, and these traces are called afterimages, which are like videos, through my eyes, projected in my mind. I said.

"Do you think we're writing poetry right now? It's so poetic. To put it simply, through your research in the Kui family in the past few days, you have found that our undead are similar to another form of life, which are transformed into human beings in the process of reincarnation, and once you encounter the so-called soul scattering, it is actually a complete sense of the destruction of the soul species, complete death, and inability to transform into human beings. And whether it is a human being or a soul, as long as it has existed in this world, it will leave something similar to it. And these things will be preserved by the special geographical environment or spatial environment, and the ability of your Heavenly Pupil at a higher stage is to see these afterimages that have been left in all corners of time. Ji Ziyang concluded.

"yes, that's right, why do you have to repeat it again, don't I know what I said?" I asked.

"The hell is what you said for a long time, if I hadn't been smart......"

"So you're a ghost, only a ghost knows." I'm sorry to say this unceremoniously, but I'm sorry to admit that I didn't quite make it clear, because I didn't know how to say it.

"Alright. Don't talk about this nonsense. I know what you're capable of now, and to be honest, it's the first time I've felt that your ability is quite useful. Ji Ziyang said.

"Are you praising me?" I asked excitedly.

"It's not criticism anyway. Okay, are you going to say you want to see what's going on around this circle? Ji Ziyang said.

"That's right. That's exactly what I mean. "I closed my eyes. Take a deep breath, the Hitomi of Heaven is no longer a burden for me now, probably because of my aunt's death. For the sake of my talent becoming more and more complete.

I held my breath and felt the air flow around me, as if I felt the return of time.

"Didn't you say you couldn't grasp the time? Are you sure you can go back in time now? Thistle's voice rang in my ears.

"It's because I don't know that I have to keep trying, I just know that I want to go back as much as possible." I replied that I felt the feeling of traveling between the streams of time, but unfortunately my pupil of heaven could only be used with my eyes closed, and I really wanted to open my eyes and look around me to see if the flow of time could really be concretized.

"Isn't it almost?" Ji Ziyang said that according to our previous calculations, how to say it here is almost regressed to the Qing Dynasty. I stabilized my gaze and found that the scene in front of me was very strange, I was standing in a cave, all the sharp stones under my feet, and all the craftsmen around me were going back and forth, although these shadows were gray and white, but they were very real, and I could even see the wrinkles in the corners of the eyes of the older craftsmen.

"I saw a lot of artisans." I described what I saw to Ji Ziyang, "They all seem to be working, this is a cave, but it doesn't look like it is now, and the soles of their feet are full of rotten stones." I said.

"I think we might have turned back too far in time, when this place wasn't built yet, and you try to see if we can go back in time." Ji Ziyang said.

I closed my eyes again, this process was not easy, although I was just standing in place, but I began to heat up, sweating on my back, as if I had done a workout, time passed by my side, I stabilized my eyes again, I saw that this place looked the same as now, but it was not so dim now, there seemed to be a lot of candlesticks hanging in the sky, like stars, reflecting the lights of the whole treasure room.

"What do you see again?" Ji Ziyang couldn't wait to ask.

"Same as here, but very much, there are candlesticks with everlasting lights on the ceiling, and there is no one here...... Wait, later...... There are people in the back. "I sensed something was wrong behind me and quickly turned around.

There should have been rows of bookshelves behind me, but now it doesn't look like this, the bookshelves are still lined up on both sides, with a large desk in the middle. I sat down at my desk and saw a child sitting at the desk with his back to me, carefully studying a book that was not only thick, but also had many unintelligible shapes and symbols.

I went around to the front and looked at the child's face, a little girl who looked like he was about eight or nine years old, and he had a face that looked exactly like mine. At this time, someone walked in from outside, it was another little girl, but she had dark skin, needless to say, she knew that it was Jiang Yurou.

"Yuqin, why haven't you eaten yet? It's going to be cold. Jiang Yurou held the plate in her hand.

"Oh, thank you, second sister, I forgot, I read too much." Yuqin said.

"Okay, you eat quickly, I'll put the food here, remember to send the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen when I'm done eating, I'll go first, if my mother sees it, I'll be scolded again." Jiang Yurou said.

"Don't worry, second sister, today my mother went to the town to check the accounts, usually she goes to the town, she has to stay in our inn for one night, try the dishes, why don't you come back tomorrow, you stay here with me for a while, let's go up together later, by the way, you can also see my results." Yuqin said and handed Jiang Yurou a book.

"Curiosities? What is it? New book? Jiang Yurou asked.

"I wrote this myself." Jiang Yuqin said, "I have read such ancient books, many of them are ancient sayings, and many spells have been lost, so I want to sort out these spells and those rare treasures in the world, strange flowers and plants, and rare beasts." The one you take is the upper volume.,It's all about some spells and formations.,Here I'm writing the next volume.,The next volume is much simpler than the previous volume.,It's just that there are so many new things in this world.,I haven't seen it.,I really want to see it with my own eyes.。 Yuqin said with emotion.

"What's so difficult about this, when you finish learning, you will be the head of our Kui clan, and when the time comes, you can go wherever you want." Jiang Yurou said, looking at the book of spells in her hand.

"Second sister, do you want to learn spells?" Yuqin asked.

"Me? I can't do it, my mother said, I'm okay to settle accounts, learning spells is not my specialty at all, if I learn spells, I don't know how many jokes I will make. Jiang Yurou said, but her hand did not stop, she kept rubbing the book in her hand, very reluctant.

"What are you afraid of, I will teach you secretly, and my mother will not know." Yuqin said.

"But it's not an onmyoji, you know, I'm the same as my eldest sister, we are all ordinary people, and we can only have the surname Jiang." Jiang Yurou said.

"Who said that only onmyoji can learn spells, there are a lot of spells in it, even if you are not an onmyoji, you can learn it, there were many wizards and mages in the past, they all learned magic circles and witchcraft, and they are not worse than our onmyoji. Spells, as long as they don't have to be in a bad place, anyone can learn them. Yuqin said.

Then Yuqin pulled Yurou to shuttle between the rows of bookshelves, introducing those thick classics one by one.

"Yuqin, how can I finish reading so many books? I can't come here too often, and if my mother finds out, she will be angry. Yurou said.

"It's not simple, you help me lift my desk to the side, that's behind the bookshelf, even if my mother comes in here, most of the time she prays, and rarely cares about me, if you come, sit here, and hide under the table when you hear a sound, and my mother won't find out." Yuqin said smartly.

"This ......" Jiang Yurou was still a little hesitant.

"Just tell me, do you want to study?" Yuqin asked.

"Hmm." Jiang Yurou nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's fine, let's get started now."

"Okay, girl, after listening to it for so long, there are no important clues." Thistle's voice interrupted me.

"At least I know something." I say.

"What do you know?" Ji Ziyang said.

"That collection of curiosities turned out to be the handwriting of my ancestor Jiang Yuqin, if she is still alive, she must be a smart and capable person in ice and snow." I say.

"Your Kui clan has produced capable people for generations, and you are not mortal in the first place, so you yourself don't know how unique you are. I still know someone like Jiang Yuqin. Ji Ziyang said.

"Who?" I asked.

"Her name is Kui Yinyin." Ji Ziyang said.

"Don't say it's useless, you've never complimented me like that." I say.

"I didn't compliment you, it's a fact, these are facts, like I said, you, and many people in your Kui clan, don't find their great value at all." Ji Ziyang said.

"Okay, but that's not the point, and the sight says one thing, and that's that this isn't where we should be." (To be continued.) )
