Li Ji kept looking at the gate of the temple with doubts, but he never saw the figure of the green-shirted woman, so he told the scholar his speculation.

The scholar asked, "Sir, do you really believe in so-called ghosts?" ”

Li Ji thought for a while and replied: "I used to believe it, but over the years, I have doubted whether there is really a ghost. ”

Because Li Trapped had tried various ways to see ghosts, but in the end he didn't succeed in seeing ghosts, so he abandoned the theory of ghosts and gods, believing that it was just folklore.

But what was the woman in the green shirt I saw just now?

Thinking of this, Li Sleepy couldn't help but look at his painting, from the painting, it seems that the female corpse does not look like the woman in the green shirt, but with that thought, it will make people think of it, and the more they think about it, the more they look like it.

The two chatted and drank freely, and before they knew it, several hours had passed, but the jar of wine was still bottomless, which made Li Sleepy feel very strange, and when he subconsciously went to look at the altar, he didn't see anything.

The scholar asked, "Do you see yourself?" ”

The drunken Li was puzzled: "Why do I see myself in the wine jar?" ”

The scholar picked up the wine bowl, placed it in front of the two of them, and pointed: "It seems that there are you and me in the wine?" ”

Li Sleepy felt that the scholar was a little chattering, but he still leaned over and glanced at it, still didn't see anything, just smiled suspiciously, and didn't understand what the scholar meant?

The scholar sighed and didn't say anything, just said that he had something urgent to leave, and he would see you again in the future.

With that, the scholar got up and left, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Li Sleepy sat there with a wine bowl, feeling so strange, not only met the green-shirted woman, but also met such a strange scholar.

Suddenly, Li Sleepy thought again, could it be that scholar is also a ghost? So, he began to rummage through his paintings, but in all the paintings and in his memory, there was no scholar, although he had painted a scholar who committed suicide by poisoning, but the scholar was a little fat, and he was not a person at all from what he had seen before.

Li Ji pondered again, are ghosts really the same as people? Still in its original form after death? It's really interesting.

Therefore, Li Ji posted all his paintings in the City God Temple, counted them carefully, and was very satisfied with the years he left, and decided to treasure only 30 paintings in total, both men, women and children, and the causes of death and death were also different.

Every painting has only one thing in common, and that is that the people in the painting have their eyes closed.

Li Sleepy reclined in the City God Temple, admiring his paintings, and wondering in his heart, what kind of dead corpse he had not painted?

Just when Li Sleepy was sleepy, the green-shirted woman appeared in the City God Temple, slowly walked up to Li Sleep, and looked at him calmly.

Li Sleepy rolled over and got up, and asked bluntly, "May I ask what Miss is?" ”

The woman in the green shirt took off her bronze mirror and presented it to Li Sleepy with both hands.

Li Quan, who didn't know why, took the bronze mirror, looked at it, and shook his head to show that he didn't understand.

The woman in the green shirt simply raised the bronze mirror and faced Li Quan: "Can you see yourself?" ”

Li Ji looked at it fixedly, only to find that he was extremely blurry in the bronze mirror, and he couldn't even see his appearance clearly.

Could it be that the bronze mirror is too flowery? But when Li Ji wiped the bronze mirror with his hands, he found that the surface of the copper mirror was extremely smooth and had been polished a long time ago, so why? Why is his appearance blurred in the bronze mirror?

"Because ......," the woman in the green shirt said slowly, "you have already died once, to be precise, you died and stayed in this world because of your obsession, and now you are only a living dead." ”

Li Sleepy was stunned, and said for a long time: "What, what do you mean?" ”

The woman in the green shirt said, "Do you remember when the two of us first met? ”

Li Ji seemed to remember, but he felt that his memory had become blurry.

The woman said: "That day, you went to paint a woman who died in childbirth from a large family, was seriously injured by the angry family, and threw herself in the wilderness. ”

Li Ji woke up suddenly, only to find out why for so long, his corpse has never been regarded as a monster, why when he and the scholar entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper turned a blind eye to himself, it turned out that other people couldn't see him at all.

Li Sleepy laughed, he spent his whole life painting ghosts, but in the end he became a ghost.

No, it's scarier than a ghost, it's half-human, half-ghost.

Li Ji asked again: "Then who are you?" ”

The woman in the green shirt was very sad: "Sure enough, you don't even remember me, but it doesn't matter, you just need to remember that I am the camera, and the scholar in white before has another name, called impermanence." ”

Impermanence? White impermanence? Black and white impermanence soul seducer? Li Sleepy suddenly realized.

The woman pointed to the jar of wine and said, "The name of this wine is forgetting, and after drinking it, you will gradually forget the things of the past, and in the end you don't even know who you are, and the truncated finger is originally yours." ”

Li Ji raised his hand, only to find that his right hand did not have an index finger, and suddenly countless fragments emerged, but he couldn't see clearly or put the fragments together.

Li was confused, and he stared blankly at his right hand.

The woman in the green shirt said, "Why don't you make a picture of yourself?" ”

Li Ji shook his head: "I have forgotten my appearance." ”

The woman in the green shirt said, "There is a vague appearance. ”

Li Sleepy picked up the severed finger and began to paint against his blurred appearance in the bronze mirror, and when the painting was finished, he looked at himself in the painting, but heard a strange voice calling to himself: "Xianggong, Xianggong......"

Li Sleepy woke up suddenly, only to find himself lying on the bed in the room, and next to him stood the woman in a green shirt, and the woman asked with concern, "What did you dream about?" ”

Li Sleepy subconsciously glanced at the stone pillow next to him, this stone pillow called Dream Weaving was so magical, and the dream produced after the pillow was so real.

After the story was told, Dong Xinrou got up and said: "The story is over, I'm also thirsty, I'm sorry, I just remember now that I didn't prepare tea for the two of you, do you want to drink tea, or drink?" ”

Wei Chiran was still immersed in the story, if it wasn't for Fang Xunyi touching him with his hand, he wouldn't have come back to his senses.

Wei Chi said, "Let's drink coffee." ”

Dong Xinrou turned around and walked to the kitchen, saying as she walked, "I only have instant coffee here, but the taste is okay." ”

Wei Chiran looked at Fang Xunyi, and Fang Xunyi said in a low voice: "I don't understand what this story is trying to express?" ”

Wei Chiran said: "She seems to be telling us the story of two of the corpse painters? I don't really understand, so it's better to ask her directly. ”

Not long after, Dong Xinrou came back with coffee and prepared a glass of red wine for herself.

Dong Xinrou sat down and asked, "What do you two think of this story?" ”

Wei Chi Chi said bluntly: "I don't understand what it means? ”

Fang Xunyi said: "It feels like another version of Huangliang Yimeng. ”

Dongxin Judo: "I didn't actually finish the story, at the end of the story, Li Sleepy found that everything that happened in the dream was a story he had painted, but Weaving Dream concretized the story in his painting, of course, there is a follow-up to this story." ”

Wei Chiran immediately asked, "What's the follow-up?" And what did you say? ”

Dong Xinrou smiled: "The follow-up is that Li Trapped began to look for ghosts everywhere according to the scene in the dream, which is what happened at the beginning of the story. ”

Fang Xunyi was still very puzzled, and Wei Chiran seemed to think of something, he asked: "Miss Dong wants to tell us that the dream she fell asleep with her pillow and weaved dreams, and the dream she made was not a simple dream, but the future of this person?" Or is it that Dream Weaving can turn dreams into reality? ”

Dongxin Judo: "Dreams are born from the heart, there are dreams day and night, people have obsessions, they will be entangled in the truth of dreams, and because people have obsessions, they will regard dreams as the future, and for nightmares, people often say that dreams are the opposite." ”

Wei Chiran shook his head slightly, he really didn't understand.

Dong Xinrou prompted: "The name of this story is "Sleepy", do you understand? ”

Wei Chiran thought carefully about Dong Xinrou's words before, and suddenly said: "I understand, in fact, Li Dian has been trapped in a dream at all and has not woken up, right?" ”

Dong Xinrou raised his glass and said, "Cheers." ”

Wei Chiran raised his glass, he seemed to understand what Dong Xinrou was going to say, in fact, she wanted to tell herself and Yu Chiran that weaving dreams was very dangerous, which was the same as Qi Yuan and Wang Lei that they had learned before, because they didn't distinguish between the real world and the virtual world, so they ended up becoming another person.

Wei Chiran asked again: "Although the corpse painter faction regards Dream Weaving as a treasure, they don't think that thing is really precious, just because Dream Weaving is dangerous?" ”

Dongxin Judo: "Therefore, the Zhenbao of the corpse painter school is called the Qiankun Mirror, the mirror can reflect your own appearance, and you can see the real self through the shadow in the mirror, reality is reality, a dream is just a dream, no matter how real your dream is, it is just a dream, just like we paint, it is just a way to complete the dream." ”

Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi finally understood, and they knew that Dong Xinrou had indeed helped them a lot, but they didn't understand why Dong Xinrou would help?

Faced with this question, Dong Xinrou just said: "As a corpse painter, I have the obligation to do this, after all, the box full of unrealistic words is opened by us." ”

Leaving Dong Xinrou's residence, Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi remained silent, although the story was interesting, it was indeed very heavy.

It's just that in reality, is Li Kuo also a person who is entangled in painting ghosts? Probably.

After returning to the underground safe house of the Xiang family's mansion, Wei Chiran informed Chu Xia of what Dong Xinrou said.

Chu Xia didn't seem to feel much after hearing this, but said: "Let's go to Wufei next, after finding Wufei to understand some of the situation, you can deal with those two earth phases." ”

Fang Xun recalled: "Find the easy ones to cooperate with first, and then deal with the tricky ones, that's what you mean, right?" ”

"We've forbidden those two Regions to leave the Chinese City, so they can't escape for the time being, and they can't leave with their equipment, in short, after all this investigation is over, it's your turn to enter the game to find clues." ”
