Qin Ye's life is divided into three parts.
The first part is that before eating Tai Sui, the national war was raging. He lived in the days of starvation and clothing.
Every day is despair, waking up from hunger and falling asleep from hunger. Every day I wake up is the beginning of a new despair. Until he ate too old.
The second part, after eating Tai Sui, before meeting Meng Po.
He had a great time. Cared for by people of all identities—because he looks smart and looks great. It belongs to the pork without water, and everyone is rushing to get it.
Although most of the time, he had to leave after being adopted for four or five years. However, at least it was much better than during the Anti-Japanese War.
After the implementation of the national monitoring system, he no longer dared to do this kind of thing. Relying on the accumulated money and his ability to see Yin spirits, he opened a coffin shop. Although he didn't have much money, he was able to get by. During this time, he went to various universities.
The third part is after obtaining the Yan Luoyin to the present.
Needless to say, his character and temper have completely changed. If he saw himself now, he would probably just laugh it off.
Maturity comes at a price. The original skin, the original laughter and scolding are all articles, and now it is a thing of the past.
Now, he is forcing himself to be cautious in his words and deeds. Hundreds of millions of Yin spirits across the country have to look at his face and act. If you don't do this, you won't be able to hold back the bulls, ghosts and snakes below. If you don't do this, you will be considered frivolous and disrespectful by other gods of death in the underworld.
What is right and what is wrong
There is no answer.
He knew that his character was a lot more indifferent now. If he encounters the ghost of the Wang family again, or if he hides a corpse in the refrigerator, he probably won't have any pity for the other party at all, just catch the ghost and leave.
He thought his mood was strong enough. However, I didn't expect that when I heard this sentence, the deep feelings in my heart rushed out like a dyke burst.
He opened his eyes suddenly.
The place to look is the yellow mud house. The walls are covered with cracks, and I don't know how many years of wind and rain have been experienced.
There was almost no furniture in the room, and the bed made its back aches - it was a so-called "bed" made of several pieces of wood and covered with a layer of planks. Covered with straw. The quilt that was torn and could not see the color clearly. Apart from these, there is only one table in the room, not even a chair.
so familiar...
At this moment, the circles of his eyes turned red.
I thought I would never remember again.
I thought I would never see it again.
However... just bury the memory deep, and when there is a hint of autumn wind, a little fallen leaves floating above are blown, and the thoughts below are like weeds, spreading wildly.
He was even a little scared, his Adam's apple moved several times, and then he turned his head and looked at the old man in front of the bed.
The old man is very old, thin and dry.
He was wearing a garment of the same invisible color, with a few large holes torn, but not mended. Wrinkled face, that is the traces of the years. These wrinkles seemed to be cracks that were about to tear apart his parched body.
This is a candle.
Lighting up others and shining yourself, now, there is only less than an inch left.
He was holding a bowl tremblingly, and it even made people think it was water, so clear that he could count the grains of rice below. A few weeds were floating. Even though he was so hungry that his chest was touching his back, he stubbornly took the bowl and brought it to his grandson.
"Damn... come, take a sip while it's hot. Be good..."
Tears welled up in Qin Ye's eyes instantly.
He didn't know how long he hadn't shed tears. At this moment, he couldn't help it.
If it was before, he would have jumped on his grandfather and cried aloud in his shriveled but wide chest. And now it's just silent tears. Hold the old hands. "Grandpa, I'm not hungry. You eat."
"Goudan will feel distressed." Grandpa patted his head with a smile: "Grandpa is not hungry, you are growing, eat more."
"I'm really not hungry." Qin Ye wiped his tears: "If you don't eat, it will be a waste."
"Then I'll eat it later." Grandpa put the bowl on the table. At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
Swipe... Everything in front of me turned into Yin Qi and dissipated into the air at the same time.
In front of him, there is no grandfather, no earthen house, only darkness.
He stood in this darkness, as if stepping into the starry sky. And in front of him, golden traces flickered, as if to construct a word
His mournful expression instantly subsided, and he once again became the master of the Chinese Underworld with the wisdom pearl in his hand. Looking around, he tentatively said, "Hello?"
Nothing happens.
"There's only myself here." He said lightly, reaching out to touch the golden tails of light that circulated according to certain rules, but found that they penetrated directly. Impossible to touch at all.
"So... this is... a failure?" He sighed faintly, like a little girl selling matches, hugging warmth in his hands, but what he saw was an illusion.
After all, it is a mirror.
"Fail... to get lost? That's what's called getting lost?" He retracted his hand. His brows furrowed deeply.
I just said less than ten sentences in total, and this failed
What is wrong in the end
He was in no hurry. Because, in the ten-minute conversation with Tiandao, he asked the question he needed most!
That is: Are there other spells in the First Lands
In other words, all forms of defense.
No answer, no.
At the beginning... the second generation called this place "trial".
That is to say, the trials mentioned by the second generation are actually the same thing as the divine arts mentioned by Tiandao!
"Perhaps it can be understood in this way that the Great Trial of Inner Demons is not impossible to pass. It is just too difficult, and once passed, this process is the experience itself?"
That's why he's not in a hurry!
As long as it is a trial, there must be a solution. Impossible to give unsolved experience. So... he just needs to quietly search for the answer.
It was still pitch black all around, and even with Yama's consciousness, there was no end in sight. He searched carefully for hours and made sure there was nothing around. Only then did he sit cross-legged in the void and ponder.
"The tail of light flowing in front of me is according to a certain trace. There is no Yin talisman in it, just pure Yin Qi. I can't touch it. I don't know what it means yet."
"According to the trial, I have failed now. There is nothing around for tens of thousands of miles. If it is considered 'lost' now, then this trial is completely incomprehensible."
He rubbed his chin lightly: "Based on the premise of 'there will be no unsolved trials'. It should give people a second chance. How to trigger this second chance?"
The light tail in front of him could not be touched, and there was no response to instilling Yin Qi. Can be ruled out for the time being.
But apart from it, nothing exists in the tens of thousands of miles.
How to start the next trial in the hypothesis
Qin Ye pondered for a long time, his eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled: "No... here... there is something else."
"That's... time!"
In a place where nothing exists, the only thing that exists is time!
And the Great Trial of Inner Demons is a one-style technique. It is very easy to set how often to restart!
Waiting is also a kind of verification.
However, this verification process cannot wait in vain. He stood up and paced slowly habitually, with his hands lightly coiled in the palm of his hand. While waiting for the second trial that may come. While thinking fast.
What went wrong just now
"The only mistake is probably the dialogue." Ten minutes later, he frowned: "I shouldn't have said that at the beginning. But... this shouldn't be the root cause of the mistake."
If you want to restore the situation at that time and bring the mentality of the time, no one can do it!
In other words, no one can pass the trial.
"I remember that I drank that bowl of soup back then." His eyes darkened, his voice lowered, and he murmured, "But... I'm still hungry."
If there is any clear memory of the first part of Qin Ye's life, it is hunger.
The village where he lives has ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and most of the people have fled to the county seat. There are only a few that are really incapable of going. Fortunately, there is a backer in the back, and occasionally a small animal can be caught.
Animals are not stupid, they have their own rules of survival. If you have suffered too much in a certain place, naturally you will not go there again. He remembered that they didn't catch a single rabbit that month.
A bowl of wild vegetable soup made me hungry, so... Grandpa went to the mountains... Wait!
At this moment, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized where he was wrong.
"I'm not hungry, so I just delayed grandpa's time to go up the mountain?"
It was because of his hunger that his elderly grandfather took him up the mountain, and on the mountain, they found Tai Sui.
Qin Ye's eyes suddenly flashed, and he also realized a problem.
That is... Why does delaying going up the mountain cause the trial to fail
"In other words... Tai Sui can only be discovered at that time? Only at that time and place?" He rubbed his chin and pondered.
The focus of the trial... lies in Tai Sui
And they're just NPCs
Only by revealing the secret of Tai Sui can you pass the trial? And where... everything has to be done as it was then
"It's unbelievable..." He sighed lightly: "Only the omniscient and omnipotent Heaven can restore the situation at that time... It is indeed worthy of the word magic."
Om... At this moment, the surrounding void vibrated.
have you started...
Is it really time...
I was not surprised. In this kind of trial with unknown results and no clues, we must prepare everything in our hearts and not be surprised. He looked deeply at the darkness in front of him, and just as the shaking started, it seemed like inside the dark eggshell, white light shone in from outside the darkness, splitting the entire darkness into pieces.
Qin Ye closed his glasses gently.
brush!
After a brief and dazzling brilliance, he immediately opened his eyes. The adobe room, the straw bed, was imprinted in his eyes again.
Trial restart!
Without hesitation, he immediately jumped up from the bed and went straight out of the house.
This time... Grandpa wasn't around.
However, he will definitely be back soon. Start "walking the plot" again.
He entered the "script" earlier than expected, so it seems that the last time he entered the Great Trial of Inner Demons, the dizziness affected the judgment of time.
And before Grandpa comes back, he has more important things to verify!
"Tai Sui... If it is to reveal its secrets. Explain... This is definitely not something that occurs naturally!"
"I couldn't see it back then because I wasn't a person walking on yin and yang, but... it doesn't mean I can't now!"
Liu Erlingzi Village, Gazigou, Tang'an County, Qingguang City…
Here... I'm afraid there is something that I couldn't see back then!
Back then... what happened here
