Chapter 298: The Spirit of the Book
Chen Yifan didn't know that a few moths under his command began to make up their minds, and they stepped out with one foot and returned to the façade that led to the underworld before.
It should have been.
However, what appeared in front of Chen Yifan now was an unexpected scene.
Green bricks and green tiles, moss scars, the sound of reading from a private school next to it.
The murmuring water came from under the feet.
Looking around, he was standing on a bluestone bridge, which was quite old, with shallow cracks and small potholes in some places, and looked like it had weathered the years.
The weather was a little dark, the sun was hidden behind the clouds, but the sound of the aloud books and the murmuring water full of vitality showed the vitality of life in this loneliness.
Chen Yifan was still confused, and a group of children with green cloth schoolbags on their backs jumped past him.
If he had been paying attention, he could see that the little children had passed through him as if they had no entity when they hit him.
Chen Yifan did notice that these were all illusory.
Except for a scholar in a green shirt who walked towards Chen Yifan from the other end of the stone bridge.
The person dressed as a scholar only looks like he is in his twenties, although he walks step by step, Chen Yifan can see that it is floating.
This scholar is not a physical being, but at least a real, spirit.
Generally speaking, most of the spirits are ghosts, souls that are separated from the body after the death of the living soul.
And the one in front of me is only a spirit, not a soul.
He has never been born, nor has he talked about death, nor has he been a ghost.
Seeing him, Chen Yifan's bewildered expression had calmed down, he had long known that the "cheap house" Wen Shu rented was a bit of a problem.
However, although it was messy before, there was no too thick yin qi anymore, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Now it seems, no wonder!
Where ghosts often live, too much yin energy accumulates, but pure spirits don't.
The spirit can be said to be a kind of simplicity, possessing the energy of consciousness, with various attributes, not necessarily yin.
Like monsters and ghosts, spirits also have good and bad.
I don't know if the one in front of me is good or bad, and what is the purpose of appearing at this time?
Judging from his spirit body alone, there is not much evil breath, and he is neutral and mellow, quite Confucian.
"Nian Xin has seen the immortal chief!" The scholar in the green shirt had a fairly standard etiquette towards Chen Yifan, and it can be seen that he restrained himself with etiquette, which was a little old-fashioned, but it should not be bad.
"What does that mean?" Chen Yifan turned his head to look around and asked with a smile.
The scholar in the green shirt smiled shyly: "This house has not been renovated for a long time, and it is very simple, so I dare not use this humble room to receive the immortal chief." ”
"Why do you call me Immortal?" Chen Yifan asked again, since this guy has been here, he should have seen that he had just gone to the underworld, right?
"Although Nian Xin doesn't know the immortal chief's immortal origin, as far as he can see, the immortal chief should serve in the underworld." Nian Xin replied honestly.
Otherwise, you can't drive away the demons like that.
The ghost is already a low-level ghost fairy, not to mention the one who can drive the ghost poor.
"Nian Xin saw that the immortal chief is also a person who loves books and is eager to learn, and I also ask the immortal chief to help me, and Nian Xin is willing to follow the immortal chief to repay this kindness." Immediately, Nian Xin couldn't wait to explain his intentions.
Chen Yifan found that his spirit body had become a little dim.
"Who are you?" Chen Yifan did not answer directly, but asked.
Although there are good and bad sides to any spirit, the type of spirit body will also affect their mind.
"Nian Xin is the spirit of the book." Nian Xin bowed his head and replied.
"It turned out to be the book fairy that the world said, but you can help if you are busy, please tell me first, what happened here!" Chen Yifan listened, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said.
The system told him that the book spirit, also known as the book fairy in the world, was so knowledgeable that he could penetrate any book in front of him in an instant.
Generally speaking, the older the scholar spirit, the more knowledgeable he is, and it is even rumored that there are 10,000-year-old scholar immortals, who know everything and know everything.
For Chen Yifan, a learning maniac, it would be great to have a book fairy to follow!
"This also has something to do with the fact that I want to ask the Immortal Chief for help."
Nian Xin replied with a wry smile.
"Oh? Tell me about it! Chen Yifan said curiously.
If Nian Xin is a good scholar, how could he make this place a mess.
"Thirty years ago, Nian Xin was born from an ancient book, which was collected by an old gentleman and read from time to time."
"Over time, Nian Xin didn't show his trace in front of the old gentleman, and after a few temptations, he discovered my existence."
"The old gentleman is very knowledgeable and quite proficient in the hundred schools of Chinese theory, and we often have long talks."
In this way, we became close friends, and we were together for more than ten years, and then the old man opened a bookstore here, and there was a primary school nearby, and children often came to buy books...... That's a long time! Saying that, Nian Xin's face was full of nostalgia and emotion.
"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long."
"Later, the old gentleman's son became addicted to gambling, and when he came to the bookstore to ask the old gentleman for money, he actually did it to the old gentleman, and Nian Xin couldn't help but teach him a lesson." Speaking of this, Nian Xin couldn't help but look angry.
Then he smiled bitterly: "But because of this, a Taoist priest was attracted to come to "catch ghosts". ”
"The old gentleman naturally refused to let them go, and got into an argument with them."
"At that time, the Taoist priest was here, and Nian Xin's strength was still meager, so he didn't dare to show up, but he didn't want them to push and shove the old man to death."
"Later......" Nian Xin glanced at Chen Yifan carefully.
"Later, Nian Xin couldn't bear to be separated from the old gentleman, so when the ghost came to take the old gentleman's soul, he hid him."
"Although the old gentleman stayed in the world with me, because he didn't want to do evil and suck the yang energy of others, he didn't practice the exercises, and his soul became weaker and weaker."
"Nian Xin has been supporting with spiritual power all these years, but recently, the old gentleman seems to be dying."
"The immortal chief is a ghost immortal in the underworld, so I implore the immortal chief to help the old man enter the underworld to be reincarnated!" Nian Xin knelt straight in front of Chen Yifan, and his spirit body was gloomy again.
No wonder Chen Yifan didn't notice him, but he came out on his own, this is because he just saw Chen Yifan driving ghosts!
"Isn't this your own iniquity? According to your words, the old gentleman should be a good person, let the ghost cha take it, and he should have been reincarnated a long time ago. Chen Yifan pouted.
If it was in the past, he definitely understood Nian Xin's approach.
But as the influence of the priesthood deepened, he no longer understood the obsession with life and death of this unwise spirit.
"It's Nian Xin's ignorance that made a mistake, and I ask the Immortal Chief to give Nian Xin a chance to make amends!" Nian Xin bowed his head and bowed, looking sincere.
"Let me meet him!" Chen Yifan paused and thought slightly.
