Chapter 601: The Spirit of the Old Mansion Wears the Past (1)
Qu Jie, who returned, first transferred the system to the Goldfinger trial department, and then went back to submit the task, and once again selected a new world from the task library to access.
This time the original body was a new experience for her.
As soon as she entered, she knew that it should be a species she had not been exposed to before, completely different from the past.
It's not a living thing, but it's not a machine spirit or artificial intelligence, it has a little bit of machine spirit, but it has a little bit of ancestral spirit totem spirit, which is quite interesting.
The original body belongs to the spirit of the house.
When an old mansion has existed for a long time, and at the same time there are many people living in it, and it has been popular for more than a hundred years, and no one has died, but there are also many people who have died normally in this old house, and at the same time, the descendants are constantly sacrificed.
There is a certain chance that the old house will give birth to house spirits.
The house spirit has the effect of protecting the stability of the house.
It's a bit like the door god, plus the complex of the Bao Jia Immortal, but if the popularity of the house starts to decline, or if it is uninhabited for a long time, or even the entire house becomes dilapidated, the house spirit will be at risk of dissipating.
In short, this is a very peculiar species, and it is interdependent with humans, but it is different from the earth-bound spirit or ancestral spirit, to be precise, this thing does not enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Born because of the vigor of the spirit, and died because of the decay of the spirit.
The original body is such an existence, and to be more precise, it is the spirit of the old house of the Zhang family in Huaigou Village. The Zhang family has existed here for 300 years, and their old house is also more than 200 years old, and has been repaired several times, but it has never been demolished and rebuilt.
In addition, the Zhang family was also prosperous back then.
At most, there were more than 100 people in five generations.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to breed the original body.
It's just a pity that after experiencing the turmoil of the family, and the main person who inherited the old mansion, Ding Buwang, and didn't have much money in his hands, the old mansion was maintained fairly well in a few main rooms, and the rest were already a little dilapidated.
In addition, the descendants all went to the city, and they basically didn't come back to work in the city, and the old mansion didn't even have any popularity left, so naturally even the house spirit began to decline.
In recent years, there has only been one person guarding this old mansion, and that is Zhang Ding, the oldest in the Zhang family.
And the other day, he died.
It was only at this time that his children and grandchildren rushed back from other places to do his funeral.
When the funeral is over, it is natural to leave first.
In the end, only Zhang Wen, who is over 60 years old and retired, and his daughter-in-law Xu Ping, as well as his youngest son Zhang Hua, who is recently unemployed at home and does not want to go to work, and the eldest son Jia Longfeng fetus, Zhang Ze and Zhang Hui, who are on summer vacation, are left.
I was only in my second year of high school at the beginning of school, and my studies were not so intense.
As for the rest, I have to go to work during the summer vacation, and I can't take a few days of bereavement leave, so I naturally have to go back to work, and I have to really learn to keep filial piety for three years, and the whole family will drink the northwest wind.
Although there were five people left in the old mansion, they did not plan to live in the old mansion for a long time, but they were just going to clean up the whole mansion a little, turn out the useful and useless things, throw away the useless and worthless things, put away the useless but commemorative ones, and take them away when they turned around, and the useful and valuable things were also picked up a little, either moved back or simply sold.
When they are done, they are ready to leave, and there is a high probability that they will not come back in the future, unless this can be demolished.
After all, there is really no need to guard the old house in remote areas, there are not many young people in the whole village, even Zhang Wen and his wife, who have retired, are not willing to trap themselves in the old house for the rest of their lives.
It's too remote here, there is not even a little entertainment, you have to go to the market to buy food, takeaway is not delivered, and the express delivery has to go to the post station several miles away to pick it up. Even if they are retired and old, they still want to have a somewhat colorful old age, instead of coming here, not even having a place to spend their pension, suffering from this in vain.
Their family is well discussed, and there is no contradiction.
But the original body can be ruined.
After all, at the time of the original body, it was actually far less than when it was at its peak, and if their family really moved away from then on and never came back, then the original body might not last long
It will be completely wiped out and vanished.
Originally, even if the original body was in a hurry, it was actually useless, after all, it could neither harm the descendants of the owner of the house, nor could it lure them into leaving, so it could really only be in a hurry. However, the night before the five members of the Zhang family were about to leave, Wu Ling accidentally found that there was a spatial crack in the backyard of the old mansion, and it was not a particularly chaotic crack, it was relatively stable.
There is a high probability that it will be safe to enter.
A spatial rift that travels to another world.
At this time, the original body wanted to capture this spatial crack and fix it in the backyard of the old mansion, so that if the Zhang family found out that they could go to other worlds in the backyard of the old mansion and engage in dual-realm trade.
Then they probably won't leave.
Or at least not all of them will leave.
And if they make money through the Twin Realms trade, they will definitely be willing to spend money to repair the old mansion, and future generations are not willing to leave it, it will be able to continue to exist for a longer time.
Although the original body knew very well that by doing so, it would directly shorten the foundation that could have continued to exist for more than ten or twenty years to the point of being on the verge of extinction.
But in order to survive longer in the future.
It did so resolutely.
Originally, this plan was very good, and if it can be successfully completed, the future vision of the original body should be no problem.
After all, who can give up the Twin Realms Trade?
Not to mention two different worlds, even if this door leads to the next province, it can save a lot of freight.
If it works properly, there will definitely be no less profit.
But the key thing is that there was an accident, and the house spirit's understanding of space is very shallow, and even this idea was seen in a certain book when it stood behind Zhang Hui and followed her some time ago, and the protagonist in it was to make money through the space door behind his old mansion to engage in double-world trade.
Get rich and find a husband while repairing the old house.
So in fact, it doesn't know how to fix the space gap, it just takes it for granted that it shouldn't be difficult, and it can definitely do it by itself.
Only in the end it turned out.
It doesn't work, it can't handle it.
As soon as its consciousness touched the spatial gap, it directly caused the spatial gap to begin to be unstable, and expanded, and even produced a spatial vortex, sucking the entire old mansion, along with the land below the old mansion, including some items and people in the old mansion.
And at that time, it was too late for the original body to regret it.
She also had no ability to break free from the spatial vortex.
In the end, it could only do its best, exhaust all its heritage, and try to shelter the few rooms where the five members of the Zhang family lived to avoid them from being harmed, as for other places, that is, the rest of its body, it could not take care of it at all, and it was unable to continue to protect.
Fortunately, before it is completely depleted.
They made it to the other world without any problems.
Of course, at this moment, the five members of the Zhang family don't know what happened, they are sleeping, but the original body can no longer hold on, and it has disappeared.
The last wish is also very simple, just two points.
The first is to hope to shelter the five members of the Zhang family and prevent them from dying in any accidents, and the second is to hope that the Zhang family can be reunited, whether it is to send them back or to pick up those who did not come, I hope that they can be reunited, so as not to be separated from each other and difficult to reunite.
