Here, after Du Yan and the ghost king left the ghost realm space, they arrived at a familiar place.
In front of him was a place where the yin was so dense as to be real, the black mist surging around and the peach wood column standing in the center indicated that the place where Xiao Lang lived was the place where Sun Jin had previously imprisoned the Taoist Master Tongxuan.
It's just that this place is very different from before, it's not empty.
The small two-story building not far away used to be where Du Yan and Xiao Lang lived together, and the rest are all places where they had memories.
Xiao Lang is now able to create a huge ghost space, and it is not difficult to copy the previous locations one by one here.
Du Yan even saw a train parked not far ahead.
Xiao Lang stopped and looked back at Du Yan. The expression on his face was very inscrutable, and he looked like a ghost king.
Of course, if he doesn't speak.
Xiao Lang pointed to the buildings and scenery in front of him: "You are not allowed to enter those places."
"… "
He thought about it, maybe he felt that since he brought Du Yan back, he still had to give him a place to stay.
"You are the gift that the young Celestial Master gave me. I have a good showcase, and it is just right for you to stay in it."
After speaking, black air surged on the ground, and then a large rectangular object appeared out of thin air.
Du Yan glanced at him, but found that the showcase Xiao Lang mentioned was exactly where he stayed when he woke up.
Longevity wood.
The longevity tree can only grow one meter in a thousand years, and the longevity tree that was turned to ashes in the Lingxing School before is the one closest to the root. The diameter of the section in front of you is slightly smaller, and it should be the upper section.
It seems that the person who put him in the longevity wooden coffin was Xiao Lang without a doubt, but Xiao Lang seemed to have forgotten this memory and only thought that he was a royal corpse refined by the mausoleum sect.
Du Yan frowned slightly, trying to connect the information to find out the truth over the years.
However, Xiao Lang seemed to have misunderstood what he meant and said, "Don't think I'm humiliating you, you are a fake used to deceive my feelings, this wooden cabinet is the most suitable for you."
Du Yan silently entered the longevity wood cabinet. He was too lazy to think too much about Xiao Lang, who was short-circuited. The longevity wood in front of him was indeed the best place to recuperate.
At this time, he can't speak yet, which should be related to the combination of soul and body. After lying in the longevity tree for a while, he will probably be able to speak.
Although Longevity Wood is an excellent place to cultivate, it is always boring to stay in it for a long time. When Du Yan opened his eyes again, he didn't know how long it had passed.
He pushed open the upper lid, got up and left the longevity wood coffin. There was silence in the space, and there was no sign of Xiao Lang.
Du Yan didn't care about Xiao Lang's whereabouts. Maybe those ghost realm spaces need the ghost king to enter from time to time to provide sufficient Yin Qi, so it is normal for Xiao Lang not to stay here.
Du Yan looked around, then resolutely walked towards the house where they once lived together. He didn't take seriously what Xiao Lang said a few days ago about not being allowed to approach.
The door was locked, but this couldn't stop Du Yan at all. When he entered the dream world, he remembered everything that happened here very clearly, and naturally he would not forget the password that he had used for a long time.
Du Yan raised his hand and entered a few numbers, and the door opened in response.
The room was quiet, even though it was just a scene that Xiao Lang had created with Yin Qi, the decoration inside was no different from when they lived together.
Du Yan just glanced at it casually and went straight to the study on the second floor.
Du Yan's purpose was to go to the study to find Xiao Lang's diary. During the time they lived together, he knew that Xiao Lang had the habit of writing a diary. The frequency was not high, but major events were generally recorded.
While Du Yan went upstairs, he thought about writing a diary, which is what Shao Lingheng has in common in these dream worlds. Maybe he has this habit in the real world.
Du Yan didn't have a special hobby of peeking at people's privacy, he just wanted to find out the reason for Xiao Lang's strange situation from the diary.
Right now, Xiao Lang's thinking is confused, and there is no way to communicate properly.
As the ghost king, Xiao Lang could not sleep as long as he could not rest. When he lived with Du Yan before, he accommodated Du Yan's living habits, but it was no different from ordinary people.
Without this restriction in front of him, naturally he would not sleep like an ordinary person. If Du Yan wants to enter the next level, he must first solve the problems on Xiao Lang.
Du Yan pushed open the door of the study, the decoration inside was still very familiar, the only difference was that there were several photo frames on the desk.
Du Yan walked over and took a look at these newly appeared photo frames, and found that there were actually group photos of Xiao Lang and himself, and even a few single photos of Du Yan.
In the single-person photo, Du Yan didn't look at the camera, and the angle was not very good. It was obviously a candid shot.
"… "
Du Yan knew the existence of the group photo, but he had never seen these candid photos.
When they lived together, Du Yan did not allow Xiao Lang to print out the photos of the two of them and put them at home.
These photos are considered taboo in the celestial profession, especially at that time Xiao Lang was the king of ghosts. If there were such photos, I was afraid that something would happen to someone who found them.
Du Yan picked up a photo and checked it carefully, and found that it was a photo they took together ten years ago when they met in Shunping City not long ago.
That year, Xiao Lang took his college roommates to play in Shunping City, and after Du Yan joined them halfway, they all acted together. When taking pictures, Xiao Lang always finds various reasons to take photos with Du Yan alone.
This photo was taken at that time.
In fact, Du Yan hardly looked at these photos carefully, and only found something strange when they were placed in front of him.
In the photo, he is looking at the camera with no expression, and he looks like his usual gloomy appearance. Xiao Lang, who was next to him, didn't look at the camera, his face was slightly sideways to look at the person next to him, his ears blushed.
At that time, Xiao Lang was still a young college student, and he was very different from his pale and indifferent appearance now.
Of course, the premise is that he doesn't go crazy.
Du Yan lowered his eyes and was fascinated when he suddenly stretched out a hand from behind and took the photo away.
Du Yan turned around and saw Xiao Lang appeared in the room at an unknown time. In this space, Xiao Lang did come and go without a trace, and it was not strange that he could appear silently.
Xiao Lang lowered his head and looked at the photo in his hand, feeling that what he was peeking while taking the photo seemed to be discovered by the imperial corpse in front of him, and for some reason he became angry.
Du Yan looked at Xiao Lang, although he couldn't speak, his eyes were full of doubts.
However, Xiao Lang on the opposite side misunderstood what he meant, thinking that the other side was wondering if he had the same face as the person in the photo.
He felt that he was very necessary to help the corpse recognize his status, and said: "You can never replace his status, you are one, a substitute!"
"?"
Du Yan felt that he should hurry up and find a way to find out the reason for Xiao Lang's insufficiency, otherwise he was afraid that he would lose control and beat this foolish ghost king to death.
How much can Shao Lingheng make up for strange plots? In the last dream world, he ate his own jealousy, and in this dream world, Du Yan was his substitute.
Du Yan even began to wonder if Shao Lingheng had seen too many of these bloody plots when he was picking the script, so that he could not consciously bring it into his dream.
He felt that after waking up, he should ask if he could take over the job of helping Shao Lingheng in the preliminary screening of scripts. He wanted to eliminate all these bloody scripts, so as not to make him so helpless when he was eating his dreams.
***
Du Yan lived with him for a few days, but he found some clues from Xiao Lang's living habits.
It is true that Xiao Lang has an incomplete soul, and he is forced to stay here. Only in this place where the yin is the most intense can he keep his soul intact under the premise of incomplete soul.
A few days later, Du Yan finally found out the reason for Xiao Lang's insufficiency.
When he came out of the longevity wooden coffin, he found that he had regained his ability to speak, so he was going to talk to Xiao Lang.
Unexpectedly, after following the familiar breath, he found that Xiao Lang was actually using the soul-splitting technique.
Splitting the soul is a very painful thing, Xiao Lang did not notice Du Yan's arrival at all.
"What are you doing?" Du Yan asked with a frown.
Xiao Lang turned his head and said, "What are you doing here, don't interfere in my affairs."
Du Yan glanced at him without any change in expression on his face, just asked again word by word.
"what are you doing?"
Xiao Lang didn't know why, but his aura suddenly weakened. He turned his head away and said, "Create a ghost space."
When the words fell, Xiao Lang found something wrong again: "Wait, when did you speak? Are you not a corpse?"
"..." Du Yan was silent for a moment, but he still answered the question, "I'm not an ordinary corpse corpse. The corpse king originally went out to connect the yin and yang with his body. Except for his body temperature and breathing, the rest of the place is not much different from ordinary people."
Hearing this, Xiao Lang suddenly showed some anger on his face and accused: "So you have been lying to me? You really are a liar!"
Even Du Yan, whose brain circuits were a little strange, couldn't keep up with Xiao Lang's thoughts for a while.
"Lie to you?"
"You obviously know how to speak, but you pretend you can't speak, and take my secrets. The Tianshi has been trying to kill me, are you undercover?"
Du Yan squeezed his brows and explained, "I haven't been refined for too long. Only by repairing my body in the longevity wood can I regain the ability to speak."
Du Yan felt that he could no longer struggle with Xiao Lang on this issue, the person in front of him had no idea at all.
Reasoning is just futile, Du Yan just said blankly: "Don't change the subject, you create a ghost space, why do you use this technique of dividing the soul?"
Xiao Lang really wasn't going to answer this question. In his opinion, Du Yan was just a gift from the Celestial Master. As a gift, dare to question what he does
It is absolutely impossible for the substitute to forget his own identity, this is what Xiao Lang decided.
However, when he saw the light-colored eyes of the other party, Xiao Lang said involuntarily, "I created the ghost space to find people. Since I want to find people, I must make the whole ghost space within my perception. Among them, there is no other way to achieve this goal other than soul separation."
As soon as Du Yan heard it, he knew that what Xiao Lang was looking for was probably him. The matter in front of him must be related to the previous incident where the ghost king was struck by thunder, and finally wiped out the entire sect of a certain day.
He pretended not to know, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
When Xiao Lang heard this, his face changed slightly.
He was silent for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "I'm looking for a soul that looks similar to yours. They thought I was looking for a living person, but they didn't know that the person's body was already ruined."
After he finished speaking, he glared at Du Yan again: "So don't try to lie to me, that person has no body at all, you must be a manufactured fake."
"… "
Du Yan knows why he appears in the longevity wood when he wakes up, and the longevity wood can live and die.
In the past, or something happened that caused Du Yan's body to be destroyed. After that, Xiao Lang managed to find the longevity tree, help Du Yan rebuild his body, and then retrieve his soul to perform the technique of resurrection.
This kind of forcible reversal of life and death will naturally lead to Xiao Lang being struck by 9981 thunders.
However, Xiao Lang in front of him had lost part of his memory due to the separation of his soul. He only thought that Du Yan's body was destroyed, and he was determined to find his soul.
Xiao Lang, who is not very clear in his mind, is very special, and only thinks that what he is looking for is a soul without a body.
So he insisted that Du Yan was just a fake, but his instincts prevented him from hurting Du Yan, and he thought about it, which caused the current situation.
"Have you separated your main soul to create a ghost space?" Du Yan asked again.
Xiao Lang was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not that stupid, I still don't need the main soul in the ghost space."
"Then where did your main soul go? Was it split by the thunder?"
Although Du Yan couldn't see how many souls or souls were left on Xiao Lang's body, from his incomplete memory, at least one soul was not on him.
Xiao Lang looked dazed, and after thinking for a long time shook his head: "I don't remember."
At this moment, a black bird suddenly flew over.
Seeing this, Xiao Lang stood up and extended his hand.
The bird landed lightly in Xiao Lang's palm, and then said, "You're late, did you find someone?"
After speaking, the bird turned into a black mist and dissipated in the air.
When Xiao Lang heard this, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten about this matter. He glanced at Du Yan, and felt that it was all the fault of the substitute, and he was so confused that he forgot about this important event.
That person was Xiao Lang's rival in love. If the other party knew the reason why he almost missed the appointment, he might take the opportunity to smear his image after finding someone.
Xiao Lang thought about it and decided that it was the best policy to take the initiative.
Xiao Lang raised his hand and took a breath. The same black bird formed in his palm, and then he said, "I'll go over immediately."
However, Du Yan could hear something wrong. Although the bird's voice was hoarse, it seemed that it had not spoken for a long time. But Du Yan could hear it, it was clearly Xiao Lang's voice.
Of course he knew that this black bird was just a means of communication, so could the other party be Xiao Lang's lost soul
Du Yan was about to ask Xiao Lang to take him, but before he could speak, he heard Xiao Lang say, "I'll take you to a place."
