Weird Talker

Chapter 269 The Secret of the Pupil Realm
All the way down the mountain and into the village, Qiao Ziru never said a word, but walked straight forward holding the skeleton wrapped in red silk.

Qin Manjiang stepped forward and asked the old Taoist: "Old Taoist, I have something to ask you."

The old Taoist looked at him sideways, and sighed: "Ask, ask, see the three of you, I know this is a difficult situation."

Qin Manjiang was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

After thinking about it, I still asked my own question: "Old Taoist priest, in this world, is there really such a thing as a soul after death?"

As soon as this question came out, even Mei Sijun, who was walking silently at the back, became interested, and his expression became much more focused.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist neither nodded nor shook his head, but looked into Qin Manjiang's eyes. In those old but bright eyes, there was an inexplicable emotion: "People with your skills will have souls after death."

This answer made Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun stop, and they looked at each other. This statement is really weird.

This old Taoist leader seems to know more than those of them who personally participated in the ghost talk game.

"and many more!"

Qin Manjiang chased after him in two steps, but saw the old Taoist wave his hand, pointing to the old house surrounded by the fence, and said: "It's here, the old man has to make some arrangements, and I will talk to you later."

After he said that, Qin Manjiang could only nod of course.

Although Qiao Ziru was depressed, she had stabilized. She handed over the skeleton wrapped in red silk to the old Taoist, and the old Taoist carried the skeleton into the gate.

Qiao Ziru, on the other hand, sat blankly on the bare wooden threshold, staring blankly at the fenced yard, as if stuck in memory.

Qin Manjiang is no stranger to this kind of courtyard, and he 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 Zi's emotions at this moment.

The two of them didn't bother her, but looked at the old man's actions and were amazed.

"Ghost stories have continued from ancient times to the present, and there will always be some people who escaped from birth. Maybe the ancients are more profound in the study of ghost stories than we are today." Mei Sijun said slowly.

Qin Manjiang was also sitting on the threshold, half of Qiao Ziru and Qiao Ziru, but Qiao Ziru was watching the small courtyard outside the gate, while he was watching the arrangement of the mourning hall inside the gate.

Hearing what Mei Sijun said, Qin Manjiang thought for a while and asked, "Brother Mei, don't you find it strange? Why can this old man tell at a glance that we have spiritual pupils?"

Qin Manjiang blinked his eyes. Could it be that the eyes of people like himself are different from ordinary people's eyes?

After all, the old Taoist mentioned "tricks" just now, which means that the "spiritual pupil" in his mouth is not the spiritual pupil points rewarded by [Pupil Realm], but the real eyes, their eyes.

Mei Sijun shook his head slightly: "I don't know either. The person who knows these things the most is Miss Xue Ran. She was born in a Taoist family, and the Zhong family has related records of [Tongjie] from ancient times to the present..."

Speaking of this, Mei Sijun remembered one thing. He heard Xu Yi mention it some time ago, and Zhong Xueran's eyes also 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 dissociation of all forms would follow.

If Zhong Xueran's family really had related records, she shouldn't be surprised by the abnormality of her eyes, but in fact, she didn't know why her eyes were like this, and she was not prepared for it.

Could it be that...Miss Xue Ran and her family don't get along well...

Mei Sijun thought a lot for a while.

Qin Manjiang saw that the old man was busy alone, Mei Sijun was thinking, and Qiao Ziru was in a daze, so he took a moment to go to the side and quietly took out [Tongjie].

This [brick]-like thing has been unable to be actively used since he passed out once. He heard from them that it was Jiang Du who appeared and used it to complete the backup of the sunken wreck.

Maybe this behavior changed something...

But he didn't think there was anything so-called, this [Pupil Realm] might be a permanent item belonging to Jiang Du.

His own is [me].

It's the doll that played dead in the real world.

Speaking of which, Qin Manjiang once thought, could that doll be the incarnation of Jiang Du?But later, Jiang Du's consciousness directly appeared in his body, which made Qin Manjiang immediately dispel that suspicion.

However, when the doll is in the world of ghost stories, it obviously has some kind of [self-awareness]. It is not just a simple prop.

Withdrawing his thoughts, he lowered his head and looked at [Pupil Realm]. This time, even though it was heartburning heat and pain, he resisted not taking it out. Until now, [Pupil Realm] had no reaction at all before he took it out.

He tried to wake up [Pupil Realm], however, there was still no response.

It seems that only Jiang Du can use this thing now.

It was the old Taoist who was arranging the mourning hall. He saw something in Qin Manjiang's hand sharply, came over to take a look, and asked, "Is this the key to the pupil world?"

"what?"

Qin Manjiang looked at him with a puzzled face, and then looked at the [Tongjie] in his hand, isn't this thing called the Tongjie?What is the key to the pupil world?
"Does it look like a key?" Qin Manjiang asked.

The old Taoist clicked his tongue in amazement, and sighed: "The three of you are really people in the pupil world. If so, why don't you use the [Key of the Pupil World]?"

"Use?" Qin Manjiang glanced at the old man: "If I use it, you will probably be drawn into the world of ghost stories forever just like us, are you willing?"

The old Taoist shook his head: "No, little friend, you're wrong. I don't have spiritual pupils, so [Pupil World] won't be able to sense me."

"On the contrary, if someone uses the [Key of Pupil Realm] when the mutation occurs, they can create a cave based on reality. The surface is the same as the real world, but there are ghosts and ghosts, which is weird and unpredictable."

"Daoist, what do you mean, using [Pupil Realm] can create a ghost story space, allowing people with spiritual pupils to enter it and fight with ghosts and gods. If the [Puppet Realm] is not used, ghost stories will be born in the real world and endanger the people? "Mei Sijun came over and asked aloud.

The old Taoist looked at him, his gray beard swaying with his nod: "Of course, but even if it was born in the real world, it will not disturb ordinary people, but people like you who are born with spiritual pupils can see Seeing them, in their eyes, naturally they can only see you."

Having said that, the old Taoist stroked his beard and sighed:
"There is a Little Chongyang Temple in the northwest of Fucheng. The old man once heard that the secret of [Pupil Realm] was included in the temple. But later, the Little Chongyang Temple has no successors, and it has already been ruined."

However, Mei Sijun and Qin Manjiang looked at each other, and their hearts moved at the same time, and Mei Sijun asked aloud: "Dare to ask, which family and surname is in charge of the Little Chongyang Temple?"

The old man frowned, thought for a moment, and said:

"Zhong... is the surname of Zhong. After Zhong Xuming passed away, his son has disappeared, and I don't know if there are any descendants left..."

Later generations...

Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun were inexplicably moved.

Of course, there are still descendants left behind, but the descendants of the Zhong family are also trapped in the [Pupil Realm] that they have recorded for a long time.
