Zhu Yuanlin is actually not a native of Jiangzhou, but from Weihaiwei.

Song Ci was a little surprised when he heard this, because he thought of Lao Liang's daughter, Zhang Sulingxinna's concubine Liang Hongyan.

Zhu Yuanlin is a student of Jiangzhou Agricultural University, after graduating six years ago, he worked in a network company in Shencheng, engaged in network architecture, and the salary is not bad, but life in Shencheng is still a little stretched.

This is so because he does not live alone, but two.

He has a girlfriend named Tang Weiwei.

Graduated from Jiangzhou Normal University, the two have known each other since junior high school, talked about college for four years, and have been together for nearly ten years.

Because of his major, as soon as he graduated from university, Zhu Yuanlin found a good job, but the location was in Shencheng.

Although Tang Weiwei has obtained a teacher qualification certificate, she does not have an advantage in Shencheng, she returns to her hometown Weihaiwei, and even stays in Jiangzhou City, which has more advantages than Shencheng.

But for the sake of Zhu Yuanlin, she chose to go to Shencheng and found a civilian job that was not suitable, with a very low salary and a very hard job.

But no matter what, the two have a very strong relationship.

In addition, he didn't have the intention of settling down in Shencheng, and the pressure was much less, Zhu Yuanlin was ready to save some money, and then go back to Weihaiwei to buy a suite and give Tang Weiwei a home.

However, a normal physical examination of the company broke Zhu Yuanlin's life plan.

Advanced stomach cancer.

Zhu Yuanlin never thought that he would have cancer, and he was still in the advanced stage of stomach cancer.

Although he has stomach pain from time to time, he only thinks it is a stomach problem caused by long-term irregular diet, and there are not a few people like him in their company.

"When I found out the news, my mind went blank and I didn't even know what to say to her." Zhu Yuanlin said.

When he talked about it now, his expression was very flat, as if he had seen it.

"And what about later? What did you tell her? Song Ci asked.

"I didn't tell her."

Song: ......

"I just quit my job and went back to my hometown."

Zhu Yuanlin showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Song Ci looked at him in surprise, this is too doggy, just leave without saying a word, how sad the girl is.

"I ...... I just don't want to drag her down. ”

"You tell her directly, you can break up peacefully, and you don't have to drag her down, it's really inauthentic for you to leave quietly like this."

"I don't understand, I've been with her for so long, I know her character very well, she is a very stubborn person, if I tell her about my condition, she will never agree to break up with me, if I die, she will probably be sad for a long time before she comes out of this relationship."

Zhu Yuanlin has his reasons, and Song Ci is not easy to say anything about him.

But curiously asked, "And now?" Has she come out of your relationship? ”

"She's getting married."

Zhu Yuanlin looked at the lake in front of him, his expression was neither sad nor joyful, but Song Ci saw the moistness in the corners of his eyes.

"Oh, that's good, you didn't delay her." Song Ci said.

"A colleague in her company has always had a good impression of her......"

Song Ci was a little stunned when he heard this, and Zhu Yuanlin left suddenly and quietly, probably to give the person who had a good impression of his girlfriend a chance.

"So, that's what your girlfriend wants to marry?"

Zhu Yuanlin nodded, it seems that Song Ci's guess was not wrong.

"So then, did your girlfriend know about you?" Song Ci asked.

Zhu Yuanlin shook his head and said, "This matter has been hidden, and she doesn't know about it. ”

Song Ci was a little surprised when he heard this, because Zhu Yuanlin said that he and his girlfriend had known each other since junior high school, which showed that the distance between the two families should not be very far.

Tang Weiwei has ever returned home, or gone back to find him, then she should know about him.

Zhu Yuanlin is actually very entangled in his heart, he hopes that Tang Weiwei will completely forget him, and he also hopes that Tang Weiwei will turn around and look for him again, people are like this, they always like to waver.

But Tang Weiwei didn't go to him, which made Zhu Yuanlin feel lost in his heart, and at the same time, he was greatly relieved.

After he died, he became the state he is in today, and he couldn't help but look back to find her, but found that she had started a new relationship.

Zhu Yuanlin felt sad in his heart, but he was also happy that Tang Weiwei could find a lover.

"In that case, what else do you not want to let go?" Song Ci asked.

When Zhu Yuanlin heard this, his face was full of confusion, because he himself didn't know.

"Also, why are you here?" Song Ci asked again.

"Because, this is the place where I confessed to Weiwei for the first time, and that night, the fireworks were shining."

Zhu Yuanlin looked up at the sky, the sky at this time naturally did not have bright fireworks, only the afterglow of the sunset, shining on the sparkling Wanjia Lake, with the ups and downs of the waves, like a burning flame, but with a trace of sadness.

But Song Ci's gaze was not on this, but at a pendant around Zhu Yuanlin's neck.

This is the real reason that attracted Song Ci to come.

It is said that after death, people should be naked, and there is nothing long on their bodies, but in fact it is not.

After death, the clothes and accessories on the body will retain the state before death, which is a reflection of consciousness and a rule.

But the pendant around Zhu Yuanlin's neck is definitely not a reflection of consciousness.

But Zhu Yuanlin himself doesn't know yet.

So Song Ci asked directly: "The pendant around your neck, can you show me?" ”

"Pendant?" Zhu Yuanlin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There is a white pendant hanging on the chest, shaped like a piece of bamboo, and there is a golden silk thread in the middle, which is spiral-shaped, which looks delicate and artistic.

Zhu Yuanlin took off the pendant around his neck and took a closer look, but he didn't see any reason.

"This is ......"

Zhu Yuanlin carried the pendant and did not hand it to Song Ci immediately, but opened his mouth to ask, with a hint of vigilance in curiosity.

Song Ci didn't hide it from him, and said directly: "You have to see it to know that in short, this is not an ordinary thing." ”

Zhu Yuanlin hesitated, looked at the pendant again, and finally handed it to Song Ci.

He was a little surprised to see that the moment the pendant fell into Song Ci's hand, it turned from illusory to a real item, and he looked at Song Ci with some vigilance, afraid of being snatched away by him.

Because he realized that it could be a treasure.

Song Ci looked through it in his hand, and then put it on the bench between the two, but found that the pendant was still quietly placed on the bench after leaving Song Ci's palm.

"What is this?" Zhu Yuanlin pretended to ask casually.

At the same time, he reached out and took the pendant back.

Song Ci looked at his clumsy acting skills with a smile and didn't poke it, but he didn't answer the question either.

Instead, he asked, "Where did you get this thing from?" ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanlin was also surprised in his heart, because he found that this item could be converted between physical and illusory, and it could exist without him.

After he died, he was very curious about his current state, so he did a lot of experiments, and after becoming a soul, not only could no one see him, but he could not hear him, and at the same time, he could not hold anything.

He summed it up by himself, thinking that he in the soul state was actually a mass of conscious energy, so he couldn't interfere with the material world.

Unexpectedly, the pendant that had been hanging around his neck would break such a boundary.

Baby, this must be an amazing treasure, he was ecstatic in his heart.

Seeing that Song Ci did not answer, but asked him rhetorically, Zhu Yuanlin was a little disappointed in his heart.

However, he still managed to calm down and explained: "This is my family's ancestor. ”

When Song Ci heard this, he smiled slightly, and did not continue to ask questions on this question.

Instead, he opened his mouth and explained to him: "This is called reincarnation bamboo. ”

"Reincarnated Bamboo?"

While Zhu Yuanlin showed a puzzled look, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes at the same time, it must be a great treasure to be able to call such a name.

"To put it bluntly, it's actually a finger bone, or a child's finger bone."

"Human bones?"

Zhu Yuanlin was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head to take a closer look, feeling that it didn't look like a human finger bone.

Zhu Yuanlin raised his head and looked at Song Ci with some suspicion.

But Song Ci didn't explain to him, but stood up directly, and then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do it yourself." ”

After that, he walked directly to the ancient city of Wanghu across the road.

When Zhu Yuanlin heard this, he was confused, he wanted to stop Song Ci, he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare, he was worried that his treasure would be taken away by Song Ci.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to do my own research first.

At this time, Song Ci, who was heading to the ancient city of Wanghu, also fell into contemplation.

Just now, after obtaining the [Reincarnation Bamboo], Song Ci had already known the origin of this thing through the jar.

The so-called "reincarnation bamboo" literally means that it is to reincarnate people from death.

But it does not mean that the wearer is reborn from death, but that the wearer dies and the giver lives.

The original owner of the reincarnation bamboo stole other people's bodies and longevity in this way, which is similar to Zhang Suling's [Soul Exorcism Whip].

But [Reincarnated Bamboo] is more subtle and more vicious.

The Soul Exorcism Whip simply drives the soul out of the body, and then achieves the purpose of occupying the dove's nest.

[Reincarnated Bamboo] is different, not only will it absorb the vitality of the wearer, but even the longevity, fate, etc., will be completely absorbed.

The simple explanation is that it eats people, people eat people, and it completely devours a person, which is extremely vicious.

After a person is born, the number of life and destiny are actually determined.

Of course, this kind of fixed number is not immutable, and the number of life and fate change all the time because of different choices.

It's like if you take a pen and put an ink dot on a piece of paper, this dot represents your birth.

When you follow this point, draw a line that extends forward, the length and shape of the line is your longevity and destiny, and no one knows how long the line will be and what the shape will be before you finish it.

And when this pen stops, your life will come to an end, and your destiny will be completely over.

This is the certainty that exists in everyone.

And [Reincarnation Bamboo] takes advantage of this to cleverly steal the fixed number of others in order to achieve the goal of eternal life.

Although this method is ingenious, it is more vicious than the nest of the bird, because if you want to completely replace a person's fixed number, then it means that one ink dot covers another ink spot, which is actually a person cannibalism, devouring in disguise.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanlin's death was not an accident, but someone deliberately wanted to devour Zhu Yuanlin's certainty.

The golden spiral pattern on the [Reincarnation Bamboo] is the external manifestation of the fixed number that devoured Zhu Yuanlin, and when the [Reincarnation Bamboo] completely becomes golden, then Zhu Yuanlin will be completely devoured and his soul will be annihilated.

At that time, the real owner of the [Reincarnation Bamboo] will appear, take the [Reincarnation Bamboo], and then live in the world in place of Zhu Yuanlin's fate.

When Zhu Yuanlin's lifespan is exhausted, then he will choose another stealing target and steal the other party's fixed number, so as to achieve the goal of eternal life.

And if you can do this, needless to say, the [Reincarnated Bamboo] must also be a product of the jar, so I don't know which owner can come up with such a bad idea.

And the reason why Song Ci didn't point it out with Zhu Yuanlin was because even if Song Ci pointed it out, he probably wouldn't necessarily believe it, and he might even suspect that Song Ci wanted to possess his treasure, so it was better to follow its development and wait for its owner to appear automatically.

Of course, Song Ci didn't do nothing, and the moment he just patted him on the shoulder left a layer of protection on him.

You can't just watch him lose his soul.

But—

When Song Ci entered the gate of Wanghu Ancient City, he couldn't help but glance back.

Since the other party chose to steal Zhu Yuanlin's fixed number, it shows that Zhu Yuanlin's fixed number is by no means mediocre.

Not only is it long-lived, but it must also have a very good fate.

If he had lived normally, he would have had some special achievements in the future.

Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to just steal the fixed number of an ordinary person, of course, these are all Song Ci's speculations.

However, after entering the ancient city, Song Ci temporarily left these things behind.

took out his mobile phone, called Yun Shiqi first, asked where they were, and then walked in slowly.

Today's Wanghu Ancient City is particularly prosperous and lively, with lanterns hanging outside the shops on both sides, all kinds of colored lights, and when it comes to the evening, all of them are lit up, and it will be very beautiful.

When Song Ci found Yun Shiqi and the group, Nuan Nuan was carrying a rabbit lamp in his hand.

And in Xiao Mayuan's hand is a lotus lamp.

Ma Xinyue's palm is a goldfish lamp.

Ma Xinqiang's hands are empty, presumably because he is a little older and has lost interest in these.

These lights are not made of paper, but plastic, and have a switch, which not only turns on when turned on, but also the sound of music, which moves and rotates along with the music.

"Daddy."

Seeing Song Ci, Nuan Nuan immediately greeted him with a lamp.

"Isn't it good?"

She happily showed the lamp in her hand to Song Ci, and at the same time pressed the switch.

"Beautiful."

Song Ci stretched out his hand and hugged her, but his heart suddenly became curious.

What is the fixed number that belongs to Nuannuan?
