Mysterious resurgence

"Am I resurrected?"

The young woman sitting in the coffin muttered to herself a little unsurely.

She raised her hand and looked at it.

It is no longer pale and cold, but has a bit of residual warmth and the breath of a living person. In addition, the body is also slightly different from before. It seems that all the supernatural powers in the body have disappeared, leaving only this very special thing. clothing.

She recognized this kind of clothes. They were from the tailor shop in Taiping Town.

At this time, Boss Liu turned back again. He heard the movement in the back hall, and when he saw the young woman, he was stunned for a moment.

But everything seems to be reasonable.

"He used soul-calling methods and some other supernatural powers to revive you."

Boss Liu was silent for a moment and then said: "But He Liansheng is dead. He was killed by a young man just now. If there is nothing wrong with you, come out and see him and help him collect his body. It just so happens that this coffin is still there." It can be used and not wasted.”

He Lian is alive and dead?

After hearing the news, the young woman had a look of astonishment on her face: "How could Grandpa He die?"

"Everyone will die, no one is exception. The older generation all died before, let alone a few of us." Boss Liu said.

"I don't believe it." The young woman was a little emotional. She couldn't accept He Liansheng's death.

She hurriedly turned over and jumped out of the red coffin. She staggered and almost fell into the water, but a tall faceless man on the side helped her.

The young woman hurried to the ancestral hall, dripping with cold water.

really.

As soon as she arrived at the ancestral hall, the young woman saw a headless corpse standing in the middle of the ancestral hall. The corpse was motionless and showed no intention of falling down. However, a dead head was picked up by Boss Liu just now and placed on the table. The altar table in the ancestral hall was covered with a piece of red cloth.

Seeing such a cruel scene, the young woman's eyes shrank, her whole body froze in place, and then tears flowed out uncontrollably.

He Liansheng is not just an old man in Taiping Ancient Town.

Or her grandfather.

Although she is not her biological child, her surname is He and she grew up in Taiping Town. He Liansheng guarding the ancestral hall has always been the most important memory of her childhood.

Unexpectedly, when I came back here today and came to this ancestral hall, I would see such a scene.

Boss Liu and the faceless man followed. They were silent for a while, and then said, "Don't be too sad. People like us will die sooner or later. To be optimistic, he won't live for a few years. Now It’s okay if you die, at least he resurrected you and settled a grudge.”

He now somewhat understands why He Liansheng was killed by Liu San. In addition to having reservations, he probably also wanted to end the grudges between the older generation and the younger generation through his death, so that the descendants of Taiping Town can clean up. The net appears outside.

If He Liansheng killed Liu San today.

Then the headquarters behind Liu San and the powerful young people around Liu San would probably not let He Liansheng go.

Killing after killing, in the end all the people in Taiping Ancient Town will be dead.

So He Liansheng was using his own death to end all disputes.

"Who, who killed Grandpa He." The young woman stopped her tears and showed her anger for revenge.

Boss Liu just wanted to speak.

Suddenly.

A strange fragrance wafted from the surrounding ancestral halls.

This is the incense being lit.

Boss Liu's expression moved slightly. He immediately looked around and finally found a burning incense stick in an inconspicuous corner of the ancestral hall.

The incense stick was stuck on the wall.

It is different from ordinary incense. It is a soul-calling incense stored in the ancestral hall like a treasure.

"Who lit the incense?" Boss Liu asked in surprise.

But he also discovered that most of the incense had been burned. It didn't look like it had been lit just now, but that it had been lit before.

"Don't yell in the ancestral hall. I lit the incense to summon souls. This is the final summoning of souls." At this moment, an illusory voice echoed in the ancestral hall.

The smoke filled the air, and the figure of a one-eyed old man appeared.

There is no doubt that this old man is the spirit summoner, He Liansheng.

"you"

Boss Liu was surprised when he saw this and pointed at him: "You actually lit your own soul-calling incense in advance. Are you ready to die?"

The soul-calling incense is a one-time supernatural item. After being lit, it can summon the deceased and make the deceased reappear in the world, but it only lasts for one stick of incense.

This is not a resurrection, it can only be regarded as an incomprehensible supernatural phenomenon.

"Grandpa He."

The young woman was surprised and happy to see this, and immediately rushed over to meet him.

He Liansheng looked at the familiar ancestral hall, the familiar people, and his own body standing not far away. He smiled and showed some kindness: "Yin'er, I don't have much time. I have some things to do." I have to explain, and then I can die in peace."

This young woman has a name of her own.

Her name is He Yin'er, but in the information at the headquarters, she is called Yin Zi. She is a fake name to facilitate her activities outside.

"Grandpa He, tell me."

He Yin'er bit her lip slightly, holding back her grief and listening to the final teaching.

He Liansheng said: "My death is inevitable, you don't need to be sad for me, but the secrets of Taiping Ancient Town should be passed down and cannot be buried because of this. I have guarded this ancestral hall for decades, starting from when I was young. Now, so at this last moment I want to turn this burden over to you.”

"Yin'er, you will be the next spiritual summoner."

He Yin'er was stunned for a moment and was about to speak, but was interrupted by He Liansheng.

He really didn't have much time, and he only had half a stick of incense left, so he continued: "Every time a spiritualist takes over, the previous spiritualist will die. This is a tradition and a rule. I am the third. , you are the fourth, now I will tell you how to become the new spiritualist."

"Don't refuse, this is something you have to bear." Then He Liansheng became stern again.

"Okay, okay Grandpa He, I will guard the ancestral hall for you, and I am willing to become a spiritual caller." He Yin'er nodded in agreement, not wanting to go against this last wish.

"To become a spiritualist, you must control the evil spirit that summons evil spirits. That evil spirit is stored in the eyeball of my left eye."

He Liansheng said: "Goug out my eyeballs and put them in your own eyes. This is the first step to becoming a spiritualist."

"But this is not enough. The more terrifying the ghost is, the easier it is to lose control. Therefore, you need to become what they call an alien, and I have paved all the roads for you."

He Liansheng's illusory figure swayed, as if it was about to disappear at any moment: "After controlling the soul-calling ghost, you use the supernatural power of soul-calling to summon your own soul."

"She is a living person, how could she attract her own soul?" Boss Liu said immediately.

"She has already died once, and there is no problem at all."

He Liansheng said: "This is the secret of the soul summoner. You must die once before you can complete all this."

Boss Liu was startled and then understood the meaning of He Liansheng's words.

Living people cannot summon spirits, but dead people can.

He Yin'er is a person who has died once, so she can successfully summon the soul.

This is a vulnerability.

What will happen if you summon your own soul?

He Liansheng explained at this moment: "After you have summoned your own soul, let your own soul use soul summoning again. Don't worry, although the souls are different, the supernatural powers are the same. Everything is connected through the soul summoning ghost as a medium. , so the summoned souls can still use the power of summoning souls."

"Although the summoned soul can only last for one stick of incense at most, if this happens repeatedly, the time of this stick of incense will be extended indefinitely. Just like gears, when the outer gear rotates once, the innermost gear will be Slow down countless times.”

"The summoned souls will dissipate sooner or later, but the process of disappearance is the length of your life. When I became a soul summoner, the limit I could achieve was to extend my life span by forty years. If I live to sixty, I will definitely die. But you are different. You rely on that piece of clothing to resist supernatural erosion, and you will summon souls more times than you imagine. I believe you can live for at least a hundred years, or even longer."

He Liansheng revealed the secret of the soul summoner.

He is not afraid that this secret will be leaked, because He Yin'er will be the longest-living spiritualist. When she dies, everyone who knows the secret will cease to exist.

Time can bury everything, there are no surprises.

And if Yang Jian heard these words here, he would definitely be shocked, because this is not the inheritance of a spiritual summoner at all, but a method for people to control powerful ghosts and directly become aliens.

He Yin'er nodded: "I remember."

"Don't blame me for letting you take this path. We had no choice." He Liansheng sighed with emotion. He looked at the soul-calling incense on the wall again.

There is only one section left.

He Liansheng continued; "The ancestral hall in Taiping Town is no longer needed. You can leave here with these spiritual tablets and find a place to rebuild them. I told you the stories of these spiritual tablets when you were a child. They are not actually stories, but things that really happened in the past." , when necessary, you can use the spiritual position as a medium to summon the soul of the deceased."

"They are the most terrifying ghost masters. Once revived, they can solve all your troubles. But you need to remember that summoning souls requires a medium, and the spirit position is their last medium. Therefore, you can only summon ghosts once. After that, you will not be able to summon ghosts again unless you find them. Items that were used during his lifetime, otherwise he would never be able to perform a second soul-calling."

"I have never summoned the souls of the most taboo spiritual places so far. I leave them to you. I hope they will be helpful to you in the future."

When He Liansheng said this, Boss Liu understood why he didn't try his best when fighting Liu San before.

He didn't want to make a grudge and involve the last few people in Taiping Town, and he didn't want to waste the medium to summon spirits. He also wanted to pass on the fourth spirit summoner. Most importantly, he didn't have a few more years to live.

So, when the time came, he chose to be killed by Liu San.

Of course, that Liu San was indeed terrifying. Although He Liansheng had reservations, that guy did indeed kill him.

"Finally, don't avenge me. My death was arranged by myself. If you seek revenge, you will have forgotten the responsibility of a spiritual summoner. In this way, I will not feel at ease even if I die. The reason why we spiritual summoners have always existed , that is, guarding the ancestral hall and not caring about worldly affairs, and not making grudges with others."

"I broke the rules, so I died, and that's a lesson learned from the past."

He Liansheng finally warned He Yin'er earnestly not to seek revenge from Liu San, because he was worried that he would not be able to escape if he got involved in the entanglement of grudges, and would eventually be killed, thus ending the inheritance of the soul summoner.

He didn't want to see the last descendant of Taiping Town die, nor did he want to see the inheritance of the spiritualists end.

"I promise you, I won't seek revenge." He Yin'er didn't say much, just bit her lip and nodded in agreement.

At this time, she would agree to whatever He Liansheng said.

Because this is the final summons.

Although the soul summoning can be used several times with a medium, the soul summoned is risky. Only the soul summoning incense is the safest, and the soul summoning incense can only be used once by a person.

In other words, after He Liansheng disappears this time, it will be difficult for him to appear again.

"Very good, you are the best youngster. You have grown up during these years of working outside. I am very relieved." After He Liansheng finished speaking, he said to Boss Liu and Wulian Humanity.

"You two need to take good care of her in the future. At least you need to support her for a while until she can truly grow up. Remember, the ancient town of Taiping has not died. As long as the spirit summoners are still there, there is still a chance for everything to be rebuilt."

Boss Liu sighed and said: "You are already dead and you still don't want to live, so you insist on assigning such a task, that's all. Anyway, my hotel was flooded and we have no place to go. We might as well move together and live somewhere else." After taking care of each other, someone will collect the body even if it dies, but I don’t know what his opinion is.”

The faceless man stretched out his hand and gestured: "I'm fine."

"Very good. Now that the matter is over, it's time for me to leave. Dispose of my body properly and avoid causing trouble." After He Liansheng said that, he turned around and left.

He glanced back at He Yin'er, without any thought, and drifted away.

The soul-calling incense on the wall was gradually extinguished.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and He Liansheng's figure became increasingly blurry.

As the last incense burned out, the smoke disappeared, and nothing was left in front of me.

He Yin'er watched He Liansheng leave. She didn't cry at the moment, only a kind of reluctance to say goodbye.

soon.

He Yin'er turned back to the altar table without saying a word, and she uncovered the red cloth.

He Liansheng's head appeared.

He opened his eyes and stared blankly, but one pale eyeball was still moving restlessly.

Without saying a word, He Yin'er directly took off the pale eyeball, and then gritted his teeth and gouged out one of his own eyeballs alive.

Blood gushed out and the pain was excruciating.

But she didn't care about any of this.

Enduring the severe pain, He Yin'er stuffed the pale eyeballs into his eye sockets, and then carried the dead head and the headless corpse to the back hall without saying a word.

Boss Liu wanted to follow, but was stopped by the faceless man.

The faceless man shook his head and signaled him not to go over.

"I understand." Boss Liu sighed and found a place to wait quietly.

Time passed minute by minute.

Soon, it was dawn.

When the time came to eight o'clock in the morning.

He Yin'er walked out of the back hall with an expressionless face. Her eyes were very strange. One eye was dark and the other was pale. At the same time, there was an indescribable and strange aura about her body.

"From now on, I am the fourth spiritualist in Taiping Town."

There is no doubt that she succeeded.

With He Liansheng's plan, He Yin'er became an alien without any accidents and inherited the name of the spiritual summoner.

Boss Liu and the Faceless Man became serious and saluted He Yin'er with fists raised, acknowledging her identity and status.

"Pack up all the spiritual tablets and take them away." He Yin'er then said.

"No problem, just where are we going?" Boss Liu asked.

He Yin'er said: "Go to Dayuan City, where I want to rebuild Taiping Town."

"Why Ohara City."

He Yin'er said: "Because I was the person in charge of Dayuan City before, and I am also the captain of the headquarters. That is the place under my jurisdiction, so it is easiest to rebuild Taiping Town there."

"Yes, it's a big city, and you have quite good taste." Boss Liu nodded and approved of this new place.

soon.

The last few people in Taiping Town were busy.

They took away the spiritual tablet and the more important supernatural items. Old Liu also did not forget to return to the hotel to fish out his private bankbook from the stagnant water and take it away.

After they left.

In the back hall room of the ancestral hall.

The red coffin was still placed quietly on the bench.

The coffin contained He Liansheng's body.

He was left in Taiping Ancient Town and was to be buried here together with the ancestral hall that he had guarded all his life.
