"Ah..." Yi Huai remembered after coming back to his senses and sent the little demon in his hand to Tang Yuanyuan again.
"You can touch it again."
She reached out and touched again, wondering why she did the same thing again, but this time she clearly touched the cold and lubricated body of the little demon. The little demon jumped up and jumped on the back of her hand. She exclaimed, and her hands moved Turn and pick it up.
The little demon's body was a blue color similar to the blue flame, and a pair of black bean-like eyes stared at her, rolling back and forth in her hand like a jelly.
"It's so cute!" Tang Yuanyuan exclaimed in a low voice. She turned to look at Yi Huai. She originally wanted to ask if she could keep him, but then she thought about the monster not being a pet, so she didn't ask.
"You can keep it if you like it." Yi Huai looked at her and said with a smile, "This kind of little monster is not dangerous, and it is also well-behaved and obedient. As long as you feed it enough water, it can also help you carry things. And it It's very easy to hide, and it was separated from my spirit fire, so it's just that I can't put it to use if I have it with me."
"Then it's called Little Q." Tang Yuanyuan wanted to put it to her face and rub it, but there was still only a cold feeling, and it penetrated her body again.
"It's not easy for a little demon to cultivate into a physical entity in the human world. But after staying with you for a long time in the human world, with the nourishment of your spiritual power, it should soon become a physical entity. And with your strength and talent, I want to be in the human world in the future. It is not impossible for the human world to directly touch the ghost..." Yi Huai looked at the little Q in her hand and suddenly complained:
"Your name is so random..."
Tang Yuanyuan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, he raised his head and said to Yi Huai with a fake smile:
"Then after you find 'her'... in case you and 'her' leave in the future, I will raise a dog named Yi Huai to express my feelings of missing you... You can come and listen to me I keep calling you this name, but you still don’t know who I’m calling... This name sounds so nice, don’t you think? Who doesn’t know how to name..."
"Tang Yuanyuan..." Yi Huai was so angry that his teeth itched, why is this girl always so disrespectful?
"Ahem, cough..." Seeing that he looked bad and worried about his life, she quickly waved her hands and said, "It's just a joke." Then she quickly changed the subject and said, "Since you have nothing to do, why don't you tell me about 'the other side'?" Ah, ghost or something.”
Yi Huai saw that she was repentant and sincere, and at least she did not continue to be skinny, so he stopped pursuing it: "Indeed... although you have been able to see it since you were a child, no one can systematically popularize this kind of thing for you, not even human Taoists know about it. Most of them are 'human'. Since you ask, I'll tell you a little bit... In the future, you will have to deal with these guys on the other side for a long time..."
"The 'other shore' is the place opposite to the 'this shore'. There is only one realm on this shore, which is the human world as humans often say, also known as the human world. The human world is where the spiritual energy of all things gathers and is reborn. New creatures are nourished in the human world, and souls, It was created in the human world, which is where we are now.”
"There are heaven and earth on the other side, and the underworld we went to before is the center of the earth. The underworld is very big, just like a huge city on earth; similarly, heaven is the center of the heaven. The earth is responsible for the soul's circulation process in the three realms. Reincarnation and soul rebirth are all the responsibility of the underworld.”
"The heaven is responsible for maintaining the order of the three realms, but the souls there are incomplete. Gods have no emotions and six desires, and they are almost all a group of cold-blooded guys. The souls of demons are one level deeper than ghosts, and demons have entities in the three realms. And ghosts and Demons are divided into various categories just like humans. Just like there are good guys and bad guys, the ones who always stare at you are usually evil ghosts. Most of them covet your sweet spiritual power and body, and some of them want you. Avenge them through your yin and yang eyes..."
Tang Yuanyuan listened. It was the first time that she knew these things. Although it always seemed to have a bit of Yi Huai's personal emotions, it was almost all useful information to her.
She had heard about the idea that there are two sides of the world from her grandmother when she was young, but other than that, her grandmother Ran Lin gave her more methods of self-preservation. Whether these things were in the stories she heard in the past , which she had never learned about based on her grandma’s notes.
Reconstructing a new worldview is very important for her "new life" after she starts. In the past, her life was about avoiding the pursuit of ghosts and trying to survive, but now she plans to go deep into another world to find her own special reason and meaning.
Yi Huai seemed to have a lot of opinions about the heaven... As she listened to him speaking, she quietly wrote down such details, and her mind couldn't help but start to imagine what kind of beings lived in the heaven. Those who lived in the heaven would really be gods. ? But if heaven and earth actually belong to the other side, what is the difference between gods and ghosts?
She lowered her head to look at the little Q in her hand. After thinking for a long time, it was all speculation but no clues to verify, so she sighed and didn't think much. She felt that the most important thing was to live well in the present, so she put the little Q on her shoulder. , looked at Yi Huai standing next to him again, and secretly poked his arm with his elbow.
"Standing for punishment is boring, why don't you..." She originally wanted to say "take me around secretly," but the next moment her words were interrupted by screams and the sound of breaking glass coming from the end of the floor.
"!! What's wrong?!" She was startled, and immediately turned her head to look at the end of the corridor. People in many classrooms seemed to have noticed the sudden movement, and some students sitting by the window even dared to peek out. He looked around, but because it was class time, no one dared to come out, whether it was to watch the fun or to help.
But the commotion did not stop. After the screams, the girl's cry came from the end of the corridor, echoing at the other end of the corridor.
Yi Huai looked at the direction where the sound came from, and seemed to notice something, with a coldness in his eyes.
People in Tang Yuanyuan's class were also alarmed, and many of them were looking out. They were looking to see if there was any excitement in the corridor. Only Gu Yuan looked at Tang Yuanyuan and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had nothing to do. But then he His expression changed as if he had seen something.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the end of the corridor, which was shrouded in the shadow of the building corridor, and seemed to hesitate for a while, but then she walked towards the end of the corridor.
It seems that this class happens to have no teachers in the office who have nothing to do, and the teachers in the classroom always think that someone will come out to solve the problem, so until now, no one from the classroom has come out, and occasionally there are teachers from one or two classes. He came out and looked at the corridor suspiciously, wondering if it was a prank by a student, but did not act rashly.
The girl's crying continued, mixed with the sound of begging for mercy, coming from the end of the corridor. The cry and begging for mercy gradually became shriller, but it seemed that her breath was getting weaker and weaker.
The corridor was empty except for Tang Yuanyuan, who was standing there. No one knew what happened, and no one cared about it, because everyone thought that someone would take care of it, so they shirk responsibility from each other.
Tang Yuanyuan started running, and his figure flashed past the door of his class. After running for a while, she heard her class teacher angrily calling her name from behind.
She didn't pay attention to it. She was never an economical light among her class teacher.
At the end of the corridor of the teaching building on this floor is a storage room temporarily used by art students. That room is built at the stairway with a backlight. There are not many people there on weekdays and it is very humid and dark. Tang Yuanyuan doesn't know Why did some girls suddenly scream in surprise, but subconsciously a bad premonition came to mind.
When Tang Yuanyuan ran to the door of the storage room, he noticed that there were traces of blood flowing out of the door. She took a breath, and after a brief hesitation, she reached out and pushed open the door of the storage room, and the scene in the room came into view.
A girl half-slumped to the ground, holding her bleeding knees. Her face was full of panic. She desperately stretched out her hands to lean against the door, and behind her stood another shadow with disheveled hair and a fat belly. The shadow's pale and blood-stained hands tightly grasped a blade, and at this moment, the blade was touching the girl's neck with a dazzling cold light.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Tang Yuanyuan immediately realized that someone had hit a ghost.
The female ghost behind the girl sitting on the ground has long black hair, her eyes are bulging out on her pale and translucent face, and the whites of her eyes are bulging out of her cracked and swollen eye sockets. The top of her head seems to be gushing out of nowhere. Black-red blood kept slipping from her face, dripping down her frighteningly pale cheeks. The female ghost's pale and bloody arm held a sharp blade, holding the girl's neck and trembling slightly.
One person and one ghost were entangled in the dark storage room. In the shadow of the room behind them, large areas of darkness began to appear as if they were stained by something blood-red. The only window in the storage room was broken, and fragments of glass were scattered. On the ground, the empty hole blew in the cold wind outside the window, but it failed to blow the surrounding curtains. No external light could penetrate into this room in the blind corner of the building.
In addition to the unpleasant smell of blood, there always seemed to be something rotten in the air. The storage room, which had been beaten and struggled by one person and one ghost, was in a mess. Easels and picture frames were knocked over and scattered. Pens and objects were placed there. The paint tool box was also flipped open, and the ground around the two people was littered with utility knives. The sticky paint that flowed out of the paint box slowly spread on the ground, blending into the darkness but becoming inexplicably unified. It became a blood color.
The entangled dispute between one person and one ghost was temporarily terminated by the sudden appearance of Tang Yuanyuan. They all looked at the person who suddenly opened the door at this moment.
The girl's face turned even paler when she saw Tang Yuanyuan appearing, but suddenly there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. She seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, her hands and feet struggled weakly, and then she shouted hysterically:
"Help!!!"
The sound startled Tang Yuanyuan, but it failed to scare the female ghost behind him. Instead, the female ghost stopped her hand and strangled her neck tighter. The sharp blade had already fallen on her neck. The cold touch and a moment A feeling of suffocation surged up. The girl took a breath, but her trachea was blocked due to fear, and she coughed violently.
