After confirming that Ye Jiu was fine, Zhang Meng asked the old man in the felt hat about the Water Ghost Village, and prepared to leave immediately.

Seeing that Ye Jiu was leaving, the old man in the felt hat insisted on escorting everyone over. Zhang Meng saw that he was old and repeatedly resigned, but he didn't expect that the old man insisted again and again. In the end, Ye Jiu said a word to Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng nodded and agreed.

In the end, the old man in the felt hat went back to the tunzi to take care of things, and everyone sat in place, and everyone had something to eat.

While everyone was eating and didn't notice this, Ye Jiu secretly glanced at Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng followed Ye Jiu with comprehension and walked to the side.

Without waiting for Zhang Meng to ask, Ye Jiu preemptively said, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" ”

"Huh?" Being asked so inexplicably by Ye Jiu, Zhang Meng's expression was slightly stunned, then he looked up at Ye Jiu, and said inexplicably: "Why do you ask that?" ”

In fact, everyone has traveled from south to north, so many trips of life and death, what demons and monsters have not been seen? But at the end of the day, those things are either prehistoric extinct creatures or the failure of immortality, and there is nothing completely unexplainable. The word ghost, in addition to the modern Chinese interpretation of ghosts after death, is actually explained in the earliest books such as the Book of Rites, but most of them say that after a person dies in the earth, he is called a ghost if he is secretive.

This earliest explanation is not clear to Zhang Meng.

But Ye Jiu knew, so he briefly explained to Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng didn't know why Ye Jiu restated the earliest quotation of the word ghost, but Zhang Meng also knew that Ye Jiu must have something to say to him, so he was so solemn. He immediately looked up at Ye Jiu and asked, "Brother Jiu'er, are you saying that the earliest explanation of the word ghost is not necessarily the soul after death?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Jiu nodded solemnly and said, "To be exact, only those who are buried after death and are not taken in will be called ghosts." ”

"That ......"

"What the hell am I trying to say?" Ye Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head again: "I won't tell you, even I can't believe what I saw." So, I can only sue you for this matter. ”

Looking at Ye Jiu's solemn expression, Zhang Meng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly raised his head and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"Do you think I'm really going to get lost?" Ye Jiu didn't rush to answer Zhang Meng, but looked at Zhang Meng and said, "I survived in this old forest when I was six years old, even if I didn't see it at a glance, I wouldn't get lost." ”

Hearing Ye Jiu's words, Zhang Meng nodded. With Ye Jiu's ability, not to mention the old forest he was familiar with, even a strange deep mountain couldn't trap Ye Jiu. It seems that Ye Jiu has planned to hide something from everyone from the beginning, maybe in Ye Jiu's heart, the only person who can make him trust is himself, right?

"I'm afraid this has to start from the beginning." Ye Jiu turned around and glanced around, and saw that everyone didn't pay attention to this, so he said, "Last night, after the fat man and I heard the footsteps outside the Dragon Bone Temple, we took the lead in chasing out. ”

"Hmm."

"Lest you get lost here, I left marks along the way." Ye Jiu said.

"Hmm." Zhang Meng nodded and asked, "Those footsteps, are they a group of white-clothed Yin soldiers wearing the armor of the Ming Dynasty naval army?" ”

"Yes." Ye Jiu nodded.

Zhang Meng responded: "That's right, it was these Yin soldiers who came up at the ghost banquet last night, it seems that they are ghosts." ”

"At first, I thought it was because the feng shui in this place was not good, and under the action of the magnetic field and pressure, the remaining yin qi formed the image of the yin soldier." Ye Jiu recalled with a pensive face: "But then I didn't think so. ”

Zhang Meng tilted his head sideways and listened to Ye Jiu's words quietly.

"My fast snow knife wasn't actually snatched by Fake Ye Jiu." Ye Jiu raised his hand, revealing a scar: "I lied, that person last night was indeed me!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Meng didn't expect that someone like Ye Jiu would lie to cover up the truth, but you can imagine how important the things behind this are. What was the reason why Ye Jiu chose to deceive everyone.

Although Zhang Meng was surprised, she didn't open her mouth to interrupt Ye Jiu's words.

Ye Jiu said coldly: "This thing is a bit strange to say! In fact, ever since I found out that the owner of the footsteps was a Yin soldier, I have been following them. I suspected that they were also pretending to be villagers, otherwise, how could a real ghost have footsteps. So I deliberately sold a flaw, but they didn't pay attention to me as if they didn't notice me. ”

"Uh......"

"So I didn't hide at all and slowly walked into their ranks. But they didn't notice me, and paid no attention to me. Ye Jiu, who was caught in memory, always had an expression of disbelief on his face: "I once tentatively touched them, but found that they were very empty, just like our earliest understanding of ghosts. Or rather, we are not people on two planes at all. ”

"Doesn't this mean that they are ghosts, Yin soldiers?" Zhang Meng asked rhetorically.

"By that count, of course they're ghosts. But you know what? At this moment, Ye Jiu's face suddenly became very solemn: "Just when I thought they were ghosts in a different world from us, a series of strange things appeared. Without waiting for Zhang Meng to ask, Ye Jiu put his finger on the Tang knife and said, "They are very sensitive to the fast snow knife!" The moment the snow knife came out of its sheath, I felt the resistance from them. The chaotic scene at that time was mainly because of the appearance of the fast snow knife. ”

"What's next?"

"The next moment will be a scene that I will never forget." Ye Jiu glanced at Zhang Meng meaningfully, and said: "When the fast snow knife slashed at these Yin Soldier Armorers, I seemed to feel that I seemed to become lighter at that moment, and the surrounding qiē became very subtle in my eyes, not only that, but even the speed of the shot was fast and terrifying, I felt that it was another me hidden in my body." This feeling was felt during the rebirth of the ancient city, and it was also felt at the last moments of Genghis Khan's secret burial. ”

Listening to Ye Jiu's memories, Zhang Meng thought of Brother Jun's words, looked up at Ye Jiu and asked, "Could it be that you awakened your potential at that time?" ”

"I thought it was potential, but it was short-lived." Ye Jiu replied: "After that, I was accused by them, but at the moment when I was accused, I dared to be sure that these Yin soldiers could actually see us, or me in that state." ”

"That's why you are convinced that there is another kind of life in the form of a 'ghost' in this world?" Zhang Meng suddenly realized.

"Nope." Ye Jiu replied coldly: "Actually, the evidence that really convinced me that they had zài was after I was accused. After speaking, Ye Jiu glanced at Zhang Meng again and said, "To be precise, I was rescued by your father, who took my fast snow knife and took those Yin soldiers away!" ”

"My father?"

Faced with the truth that Ye Jiu had always refused to tell, Zhang Meng's head was like a lightning bolt, and his whole mind was blank!
