All the way down the mountain and into the village, Qiao Ziruo never said a word, but walked straight forward holding Skeletons wrapped in red silk.
Qin Manjiang took a step forward and asked Old Taoist: "Chief Old Taoist, let me ask you something."
Old Taoist glanced sideways at him and sighed, "Ask me, ask me. When I see the three of you, I know that this situation may not be able to survive."
Qin Manjiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
After thinking about it, I asked my own question, "Old Taoist Chief, in this world, is there really a soul after death?"
As soon as this question came up, even Mei Sijun, who was walking silently at the back, became interested and looked much more focused.
Unexpectedly, Old Taoist neither nodded nor shook his head, but looked into Qin Manjiang's eyes. In his old but bright eyes, there was an indescribable emotion. "People with tricks like yours will have souls after death."
This answer made Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun stop in their tracks, and they looked at each other. This statement was really weird.
This Old Taoist leader seems to know more than those of them who are personally involved in Ghost Story Game.
"Wait!"
Qin Manjiang chased after him in two steps, only to see Old Taoist wave his hand, point to the old house surrounded by a fence, and say, "We are here, I need to make some arrangements, I will talk to you guys later."
He said so, of course Qin Manjiang could only nod.
Although Qiao Ziru was depressed, she had stabilized. She handed the skeleton wrapped in red silk to Lao Dao, who carried the skeleton into the door. He wanted to decorate the main room into a mourning hall.
Qiao Ziruo was sitting blankly on the wooden threshold that had been trampled bare, staring blankly at the small fenced yard, seemingly lost in memories.
Qin Manjiang is no stranger to this kind of yard. He also grew up in such an environment during his childhood.
Although Mei Sijun grew up in the city, he has a delicate mind and can understand Qiao Ziruo's emotions at this moment.
The two of them did not bother her, but looked at Old Taoist's movements in admiration.
"Ghost Story From ancient times to the present, there will always be some people who escape. Maybe the ancient people were more profound in their research on Ghost Story than we are today." Mei Sijun said slowly.
Qin Manjiang was also sitting on the threshold, half the size of Qiao Ziruo. It was just that Qiao Ziruo was looking at the small courtyard outside the door, while he was looking at the decoration of the mourning hall inside.
Hearing what Mei Sijun said, Qin Manjiang thought for a while and asked, "Brother Mei, don't you think it's strange? Why can Old Taoist tell at a glance that we own Spirit Pupil?"
Qin Manjiang blinked, could it be that the appearance of the eyes of people like myself was different from those of ordinary people?
After all, this Old Taoist just mentioned "tricks", which means that the "Spirit Pupil" in his mouth is not the Spirit Pupil Points rewarded by [Eye Realm], but the real eyes, their eyes.
Mei Sijun shook his head slightly. "I don't know either. The person who knows the most about these things is Miss Xueran. She was born into a Daoist family. Zhong Family There are related records of [Eye Realm] from ancient times to the present..."
Speaking of this, Mei Sijun remembered something. He heard Xu Yi mention it some time ago, and Zhong Xueran's eyes began to change.
The colors of the world she saw began to be reversed and chaotic, but this was only the first step, and the disintegration of all forms would occur next.
If Zhong Xueran's family really had relevant records, she shouldn't be surprised by the abnormalities in her eyes. However, in fact, she didn't know why her eyes were like this, and she was unprepared for it.
Could it be that... Miss Xueran and her family don't get along well...
Mei Sijun thought a lot at the same time.
Qin Manjiang saw that Old Taoist was busy alone, Mei Sijun was thinking, and Qiao Ziruo was in a daze, so he took a moment, went to the side and quietly took out [Eye Realm].
He could no longer actively use this [brick]-like thing after he fainted once. According to them, Jiang Du appeared and used it to complete Shen Hai's Backup.
Maybe this behavior changed something...
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. This [Eye Realm] might just be Permanent Item that belongs to Jiang Du.
His own is [I].
It's the Doll who pretended to be dead in Real World.
Speaking of which, Qin Manjiang once thought that Doll might be the incarnation of Jiang Du? But later, Jiang Du's consciousness appeared directly in the body, which made Qin Manjiang immediately give up that doubt.
However, when Doll is in Ghost Story World, it obviously has some kind of [self-awareness]. It is by no means just a simple Items.
He retracted his thoughts and looked down at [Eye Realm]. This time, even with the heartburn and pain, he resisted not taking it out. It was only now that [Eye Realm] had completely stopped responding that he took it out.
He tried to wake up [Eye Realm], but there was still no response.
It seems that now only Jiang Du can use this thing.
But Old Taoist, who was decorating the mourning hall, saw the thing in Qin Manjiang's hand with sharp eyes, came over to take a look, and asked, "Is this Eye Realm Key?"
"Ah?"
Qin Manjiang looked at him with a puzzled expression, and then looked at [Eye Realm] in his hand. Isn't this thing called Eye Realm? What is Eye Realm Key?
"Does it look like a key?" Qin Manjiang asked.
Old Taoist was amazed and sighed, "You three are indeed Eye Realm's. If that's the case, why don't you use [Eye Realm Key]?"
"Use?" Qin Manjiang glanced at Old Taoist: "If I use it, you will probably be pulled into Ghost Story World permanently like us just now. Are you willing?"
Old Taoist shook his head. "No, little friend, you are wrong. Without Spirit Pupil, [Eye Realm] would not be able to sense me."
"On the contrary, if someone uses [Eye Realm Key] when a mutation occurs, they can rely on reality to create a Grotto-Heaven, which looks the same as Real World, but is haunted by monsters and ghosts, making it weird and unpredictable."
"Taoist Priest, what you mean is that using [Eye Realm] can create Ghost Story Space, allowing Spirit Pupil Bearer to enter it and fight against ghosts and gods. Bureau. If [Eye Realm] is not used, Ghost Story will be born in Real World, harming the people?" Mei Sijun came over and asked.
Old Taoist looked at him, his gray beard swaying as he nodded. "Of course, even if they are born in the real world, they generally will not disturb ordinary people. It's just that Naturally Born Spirit Pupil Bearer like you can see them, and naturally they can only see you in their eyes."
Speaking of this, Old Taoist touched his beard and sighed:
"There is Little Chongyang Temple in the northwest of Fu City. I once heard that the secret of [Eye Realm] was recorded in the temple. But later, Little Chongyang Temple had no successor and it was ruined."
Mei Sijun and Qin Manjiang looked at each other, and their hearts moved at the same time. Mei Sijun asked, "May I ask Taoist Priest, which family and surname is in charge of Little Chongyang Temple?"
Old Taoist frowned, thought for a moment, and said:
"Zhong... is the surname Zhong. Zhong Xuming After Daoist friend passed away, his son's fate was unknown, and I don't know if there are any descendants left..."
Descendants...
Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun felt incomprehensible.
Of course, there are still descendants left behind, but the descendants of the Zhong Family are also trapped in [Eye Realm], which they have already recorded.
