I pricked up my ears, even though I knew it wasn't in reality. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Because, that's what I helped you. He showed a mouthful of white teeth, and looked at me who was stunned again with an expression of advocacy for Tian Qi's toothpaste, "Otherwise, do you think that just a few of you can be worthy of the Hua Ghost King and Lan Xuening?"

I subconsciously shook my head, but my focus was on the first half of the sentence, he said, he helped me, how did he help me? Could it be that he was there at the scene? Is he really him himself in the firelight?

Speculations about that night were like bubbles of boiling water, one after another in my mind.

The old man still smiled and didn't speak, as if he was waiting for me to come back to my senses, and I thought that I was waiting for me to figure out a question, and then he would answer it for me.

The shock in my heart lasted for a long time, but I still quickly came back to my senses, and after pondering for a while, I tentatively asked, "That night, were you there?"

"Yes and no. ”

The old man gave an inexplicable answer, and his smile became mysterious.

I subconsciously asked, "What does this mean?"

He shook his head and pointed to my head, "You think for yourself." ”

“”

The old man's prolonged absence, and the rapid change in his painting style, gave me the illusion that it was difficult to communicate with him normally, and what is even more tragic is that this illusion has become more and more real with the slow passage of time.

Is it my problem, or is it the old man's?

While I was thinking about his "being and not being there", a small number of brain cells also began to think about it. The hazy mist drifted between us, not touching his clothes, nor touching me, which made me think about it, and think of the three clear fires that surrounded me that night, and another inquiry, which blurted out without waiting for me to think about it any more.

"Master, when I was about to faint, did you see you?"

I regretted it a little after asking, and just when I thought he would say "you guess", he nodded his head as a matter of course.

"yes. ”

"Is it really you?"

I was stunned, and suddenly exclaimed, he admitted this, doesn't it also means that he was indeed present at the time, but I still don't understand what his sentence "is there, and is not there", I still don't understand. And the old man obviously didn't want to explain anything, still smiling, and he said gently, "It's really me." ”

"When did you come that day?"

"I've always been there. ”

"Then why did you just say, 'Yes and no'?"

"Because, I really wasn't there. ”

This time the others sounded confused, and it sounded the same to me. The old man's expression is extremely natural, I can't feel his emotions, but he doesn't need to lie to me in this kind of thing, the five thunder Tiangang spells, the three clear fire spells, the changes to ward off evil spirits, and finally accompany me at the moment of life and death, such a real scene proves his "presence".

And what about "not there"?

I wanted to ask, but I didn't, because I had already asked, but he said let me think for myself.

I thought in silence, and time passed slowly in my silence.

The old man's "absence" should not be in the superficial sense, or the "in" and "absence" should belong to two senses. I don't know how long it took, my calm mind finally thought of the old man who was like a fish in water in the underworld that Qin Muyu mentioned in the conversation with me, and from another angle, I thought of the soul that Qingyou had just mentioned to me, the old man left in the yang world

Does his "presence" refer to this soul?

Does his "absence" refer to the two souls and seven spirits left in the underworld?

This time, my thoughts did not echo here, and the old man smiled softly as if he didn't see this, and his eyes full of satisfaction seemed to ask me: Su Ranwu, have you figured it out?

I didn't respond to him, but continued to follow these, if this soul and the two souls and seven spirits both represent the old man, does it mean that he has been guarding me from the beginning, but the ability of this soul is too small, so I have to bring all kinds of information from the underworld to me.

Can he, who has been separated for more than 400 years, still connect with his one soul and two souls and seven spirits?

I recalled the information I had seen, thought about it over and over again, filtered it over and over again, but the answer was no, I hadn't heard of this news, and the closest thing to this kind of information was today, Qingyou told me that Hu Youning's demon soul was separated from his own three souls and seven spirits, but how could the newborn demon soul be compared with the three souls of the person itself?

I don't understand, and I want to ask the old man.

"Master. I asked anxiously, "Are you a large part of you or a small part of you that appears in front of me now?"

I was going to say one soul or two souls and seven spirits, but when the words came to my mouth, they became a little more tactful unnaturally.

"What do you think?"

The old man's smile became even stronger, but before his words fell, his body involuntarily floated back, very slowly, but the distance between us was getting farther and farther away. I'm anxious, I don't know when the next meeting will be, and I still have a lot of unanswered questions in my heart.

The fog that could not be seen as far as the eye could see began to thicken, and the clear figure of the old man quickly blurred, which was a precursor to his disappearance.

I gritted my teeth and shouted out the words that were in my mind.

"Are you that soul?"

"Is that the soul?"

"What about the soul?"

“”

Sure enough, my voice resounded throughout the space, echoing over and over again, hitting my eardrums and my heart, which was beating at no frequency. The figure of the old man had disappeared slowly in front of my eyes behind the mist, but at the moment when the last of his clothes disappeared with a little inky corner, the old man's hearty laughter sounded again, which sounded inexplicably cheerful.

"Hahahaha"

The whole space began to vibrate with this laughter, and my heart suddenly became excited, did the old man's laughter admit it? Is the few times I have seen him in this state the same soul that he has integrated into my body very early?

An extremely strong suction force also suddenly came from behind me, and my whole body, which was originally difficult to move, was suddenly sucked into something like cotton, and then, I had just regained consciousness for a short time, and fell into chaos again.

"Shhh

A sudden sharp pain under my nose shook my whole body.

Is this awake?

Before I opened my eyes, Qingyou's low inquiry came from my ears, and at the same time, there was a faint aroma of red wine on his body.

"Su Ran, are you awake?"

"Hmm. ”

I hummed and raised my hand to rub my head before I opened my eyes.

In the faint yellow light, my vision gradually became clearer, Qingyou was still sitting on the coffee table, his left hand fixed my arm, so that my right hand could grasp his right arm, and repair the injured soul with the energy of the female ghost's tears. The green glow in his eyes was gone, and all that was left was exhaustion.

"Just now, did Hu Youning do it?"

I reminisced about the moment I lost consciousness and asked him. Qingyou nodded, with a hint of anticipation on his cheeks that had faded a little red, he didn't explain the reason to me, nor did he say the method, and after turning his eyes to look at me, he asked.

"Well, do you see anything?"

"Hmm. ”

I took a sip from the teacup on the table, the water was still a little warm, which showed that my meeting with the old man did not last long. After thinking about it carefully, I told Qingyou about the scene and conversation I had just met with the old man.

"Did you really see him?" Qingyou said this again with an indescribable joy: "You really saw Zhou Daoming?"

"Really. I nodded in response.

It's just that at this moment, I think I understand his excitement, but when I think about it carefully, I don't quite understand his excessive excitement.

"Do you know I'm going to meet him?" I asked, sorting out my thoughts.

"I'm guessing, after Yu Ning heard our conversation just now, she took the risk of using her demon soul ability to stimulate the special energy hidden in your body. In her words, it is an energy that attaches itself to your soul and your spiritual power, it is different from your soul and different from your spiritual power, but strangely enough, it survives in it unharmed. ”

Qing You said, the excitement on his face was gradually absorbed by him, but the part of his eyes was still flickering between the red bloodshots. I followed his words and thought, the brain that had just calmed down became excited again, the place between my soul and spiritual power, could it be that the energy was the soul of the old man hidden in my body?

My eyes lit up, and Qingyou nodded his head closely.

He said: "You're right, that energy I agree with Youning that it is the soul left by Zhou Daoming." ”

"Is that really the case?" my heart pounded, it turned out that all this I had done Master was actually watching. Just thinking about it carefully, Qingyou used the word energy when he mentioned it just now, which made my heart beat slower again, "Isn't this kind of energy different from a human soul?"

"It's not the same. Qingyou shook his head seriously but firmly, "Actually, the human soul is also a special energy in the universe, how it gathers into a human form and forms a soul, this is too profound for us, and even the Hades who are responsible for reincarnation in the underworld may not be able to explain clearly. ”

"What about you?"

I was about to ask him how he knew this, but Qingyou raised his hand to stop me: "After listening to me, Youning can feel the energy that exists in your body, and she can also judge that this energy is very close to and in line with the soul and spiritual power, we deduce that this should be your master's soul mutated when it was parasitic in your body and became a new kind of energy, and it is also the reason why you can't tell that there are other souls in your body." ”

"You mean, my master's soul has mutated?" I was stunned by his call.
