Ye Zhengyi explained: "At that time, there was an epidemic in the west, and the disaster was serious. The local officials deliberately concealed the report, resulting in a catastrophe. When the court received the news, many people had died, and there were still refugees who were not under control. The epidemic spread to other places. Because too many people died and too many souls wanted to enter the underworld, the ghosts moved to their original residence and changed the Huangquan Road to pass by the Prince's Mansion. It just happened. No one could stop it. .Liu Che did not get entangled in this matter, but just took me away from home and started traveling. He seemed to be interested in these things about ghosts and the underworld, and wanted to trace their origins... I have never been like this before. The idea. Because of his suggestion, I followed him and started traveling the mountains and rivers again."
When Ye Zhengyi said this, he sighed sadly, "He died before he finished his journey and found the source. When he was dying, he asked me to draw a picture. He wanted to see himself. I drew... I saw When it comes to Liu Che... He is not a simple character at first glance. But after his death, he did not become a ghost. I did not reincarnate, so I continued to travel around and left many paintings. And then, what he didn't see... I saw it. I saw it all..."
My heart lifted up and I asked, "What did you see?"
Ye Zhengyi put away the demeanor he had shown when he was narrating before, and his sullen look was completely gone. He looked at me with a smile, "Young man, I have lived for so long and been a ghost for so long. If I really wanted to die, I would have died long ago."
I was stunned and didn't answer for a while.
I thought about the fact that I ignored.
Ye Zhengyi... has been dead for a long time!
My heart beat faster and then calmed down quickly.
Gotta take this opportunity...it can be done. I can do it.
"Liu Che probably has that kind of fearless spirit to devote himself to his ideals, but I don't have that. I'm just dawdling. The most adventurous times in my life were only in my childhood, when I rushed into the sea of fire, trying to save my life Mother's memorial tablet. Then..." Ye Zheng smacked his lips carelessly, "When I saw those things, I didn't want to die even more. But living... living like that is meaningless." He suddenly sighed, "No matter what Whether the world gets better or worse, I just go with it, and if I can live one more day, it’s just one day.”
I closed my eyes, and Ye Zhengyi's appearance appeared in my mind.
I could feel my powers working inside me.
In an instant, I had grasped the soul chain belonging to Liu Che. My soul flew up, and the figures of Xu Tiancheng and Yao Nie passed by me, and I directly traveled through hundreds of years.
I saw a child, I saw the child rushing into the sea of fire, and I saw the portrait Ye Zhengyi drew of his mother.
Time is limited and I cannot stay in the past for too long.
I pull the chains and move my soul.
I saw Ye Zhengyi visiting Mingchuan Dajiang, I saw him lingering in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, I saw him painting beauties...
Soon, I saw Ye Zhengyi being imprisoned. He already looked like an old man at this time.
My heart beats faster again.
I waited for Liu Che to appear.
When the flames started, I flew out of the house. I looked around and immediately found a boy climbing on the wall.
I flew towards him, just in time to see his raised face.
Eyes facing each other.
My heart skipped a beat and I heard the sound of chains in my ears.
My soul was caught and my whole soul flew out.
"So, you want us to force you before you say anything?" the thin man asked.
"How are you going to force me?" Ye Zhengyi asked curiously.
The thin man looked at me.
I lowered my head, covering up my somewhat disordered breathing, and recalled the fragments I had seen.
I picked up the painting by Ye Zhengyi, "Ghosts have a carrier. Generally speaking, the carrier will be their corpse. By crushing the corpse of the ghost and scattering it into ashes, it can be completely eliminated. But if the ghost If you have special obsessions, this approach won't work. It's like the female ghost you met when you were a child. She was reincarnated. Because she was crushed to ashes, she also developed resentment and returned to the human world to take revenge. "I Looking at Ye Zhengyi, "But you don't seem to have such an obsession. It's not right to say that your obsession is to live."
Ye Zhengyi put away his relaxed demeanor.
"I'm going to threaten you with this, but it probably won't work. For you, it's best to live, and it doesn't matter if you die, right?" I asked again.
Ye Zhengyi didn't answer, just glanced at the thin man.
The thin man was looking at the painting, "Is this his true form? A cross-dressing man?" he blurted out, his voice a little higher.
Ye Zhengyi's face turned dark for a moment.
"Your painting should have a seal. The seal has the effect of a talisman..." I continued.
The painting in my hand has no stamps or inscriptions. There is only a woman painted on it.
"What you just said are all half-truths, right? Your childhood experience is true, your meeting Liu Che is true, but the rest is not necessarily true. At least, you have learned magic. You are just not good at it. ." I raised a new question, "No one would associate such a painting with you. How did Xu Tiancheng get the painting?"
Ye Zheng had a straight face and didn't react at all.
"Unless you gave it to him yourself." I thought about the brief scene I saw and expressed my guess. "You give the carrier of your ghost to someone you trust. You are free to choose that object, you can Change the location where the painting is hidden at any time. When you stay in one place, leave the painting nearby. In this way, you don’t have to worry about your own safety at all. And when you give the painting to me, you just want to lend me my hand and let yourself Become a magic spirit!"
The thin man was startled, turned his head suddenly, and looked at me. He doesn't know about magic spirits yet.
"If you become a magic spirit, it means you have Wu Ling's abilities. You are no longer an ability user who can only draw, see the past, and click the three-legged cat spell. In this rapidly deteriorating world, World, you have gained stronger self-protection power. In addition, by cooperating with me, you can live a more stable life. The Ghost King will not target you. The first person they notice must be me. Ye Qing will not notice it either. You. He will think that the new magic spirit is in his hands. If necessary, you can stab us in the back at any time." I said, and suddenly asked, "It is not a coincidence to choose Xu Tiancheng and then Yao Nie. ? Your ability allows you to find Ye Qing and find the real person Xuan Qing. As long as you follow their footsteps and contact the people they have contacted, sooner or later you will come into contact with them and me. "Peach Blossom River" in Minqing Museum may not You painted it hundreds of years ago. Maybe you found out that Ye Qing was in Minqing. You chose Minqing as your place of residence. You painted that painting and waited for it to cause trouble and attract Ye Qing. "
I gave the painting to the thin man.
"The only thing I don't understand is why don't you become the King of Ghosts yourself?" I asked.
Ye Zhengyi raised his eyes and looked at me, "Thank you for your hard work. You really worked hard to activate your friend's ability."
