Under Yun Ming's questioning, Zhuge Rong told more details about "one body, two souls".
In Zhuge Rong's eyes, the phantom-like black smoke screen was not standing behind Yun Ming, but directly covering Yun Ming's body. This kind of virtual and real scene is very similar to the effect created by setting two overlapping layers in PS and lowering the opacity of the overlay layer.
"Oh, it turns out that my whole body is covered with a gray mask with a high feathering value." Even though Zhuge Rong told him that there was something wrong with his body, Yun Ming still looked as normal: "Mr. Zhuge, how did you judge, Is this abnormal phenomenon of mine what you call one body and two souls?"
"In fact, I have never seen this scene with my own eyes before. Most of my metaphysical knowledge only comes from my master's dictation." Zhuge Rong admitted that he was not good at academics: "In other words, I am also a nerd. I have zero practical experience. Therefore, I just copied the master's instructions, compared the phenomena with the books, and came to the conclusion that this is one body and two souls."
Yun Ming thought about it and called it his luck - Zhuge Rong's script gave him the opportunity to deceive others. "Then Mr. Zhuge, if you are willing, please tell us more about this one body and two souls." Yun Ming's attitude became more sincere.
Yun Ming originally thought that this request was too hasty. After all, he had always known that these things related to metaphysics could not be communicated to others at will. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Rong's expression remained unchanged and he calmly began to narrate. This was beyond Yun Ming's expectations.
After listening to Zhuge Rong's story, Yun Ming finally understood why this man revealed his "family knowledge" so easily.
The relationship between Zhuge Rong and his master is somewhat delicate. The relationship between the two is not the traditional "one master, one apprentice" relationship, because Zhuge Rong's master uses a training class as a teaching method.
That's right, there are still twenty or thirty "disciples" like Zhuge Rong under his master.
This master is an old-school tomb robber who is very rare in today's era. He is a real person with some hard skills and was the boss of a tomb robber gang when he was young. Ten years ago, an old man who was already over seventy years old and had spent half his life in a golden basin actually set up a pheasant school to teach people how to rob tombs.
In a sense, the old man's identity should be regarded as the "principal", while Zhuge Rong and his "senior brothers" are "students of the same period".
That year, Zhuge Rong, who was only in his early twenties and had just entered society, walked into his master's classroom with a curious mentality of "enrolling in an unpopular interest class."
It was in that classroom that Zhuge Rong left school, or in other words, graduated. He became the only one among the twenty or so students to inherit the mantle of his master, and at the same time he came to terms with his innate psychic ability - which he had always been afraid of before.
After that, the master who succeeded him settled his worries, kicked off his legs with satisfaction, and drove westward, while Zhuge Rong was unemployed after graduation. It should be said that the old master was indeed a very particular person. All the coursework he arranged were all theoretical courses and he had never done any work in the fields; and Zhuge Rong could not really expect to support himself by relying on this tomb robbing craft. , of course, if you are going to jail, that's another matter.
In short, Zhuge Rong has not forgotten his original intention. He has always regarded the tomb robbing skills taught to him by his master as "hobbies". Except for occasionally squatting on the street to give people a temporary itch

Telling fortunes for free, Zhuge Rong has never used this unique skill of his.
As for why he joined the Renaissance organization, that is a story for another day, and we will explain it later.
"Understood, this is the first time I've seen two souls in one body, so I'm a little unsure."
Seeing that Zhuge Rong's mouth was dry as he talked, Yun Ming took an empty cup, poured some clean water into it and handed it over.
"Ah, thank you."
Zhuge Rong drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "Speaking of two souls in one body, we don't encounter many in the tomb robbing business, but it is very common in folk stories of weird and strange things."
"To put it another way, it is what we are familiar with: body seizing and possession."
"Like the legend of the water ghost?" Xiao Qi asked. She was born into a Chinese family in Southeast Asia, a region with dense river networks, abundant rainfall, and frequent flash floods. Therefore, the rumor that "drowned people will find a scapegoat so that they can be reincarnated smoothly" is very popular.
Pu Che Shi recalled a scene from an old horror movie he had collected: "Some mediums with psychic physiques should be in the state of one body and two souls when performing magic, right?"
"I'm begging you, can you please stop using your imagination at this moment..." Yun Ming complained with a wooden face: "I don't even dare to think about how you two view me in your hearts right now."
Zhuge Rong ignored Yun Ming's joke: "Both of you are only half right. Indeed, both cases can be called one body and two souls, but please note that whether it is seizing the body or possessing the body, it is an invincible one." The process of maintaining two souls coexisting in one body for a long time.”
"Needless to say, a spiritual medium invites a soul to stay in the body. No Taoist priest, witch, divine man, onmyoji, or practitioner has ever been able to keep the soul for several days in one breath. Even a little longer will have serious and serious consequences for oneself. Irreparable damage; the same is true for a person who dies in vain and finds a living substitute for himself. There are only two results, either success or failure. It is impossible for two souls to be entangled for a long time without coming to an end."
"So, Mr. Yun, your current situation is very special." Zhuge Rong's tone and expression when he said this now were like a doctor who diagnosed a rare disease: "Looking at you like this, the two souls in your body are actually... Let’s coexist peacefully.”
Yun Ming was speechless for a moment. He had completely confirmed that the other soul mentioned by Zhuge Rong was his predecessor Yun Ming, but he could not reveal the existence of the latter yet. "Let me understand it this way. Mr. Zhuge, can you listen to it?"
"You asked me earlier if I had any auditory hallucinations, night terrors, night sweats, or ghosts on the bed. You were all trying to confirm whether there really was an extra soul in my body."
"good."
"But the actual situation is that I have not experienced the above phenomenon and everything is fine. Therefore, the so-called extra soul is just nonsense."
"You're lying." Zhuge Rong said firmly.
"I didn't." Yun Ming said firmly.
"Then I would like to ask, Mr. Yun, how do you explain the thin black smoke surrounding you at this moment? That is a genuine soul body, and I cannot admit my mistake."
Yun Ming was silent for a moment, then replied: "Oh, I have split personality."
"ha?"
Not to mention Zhuge Rong, after hearing this shameless answer, Pu Che Shi and Xiao Qi had expressions on their faces like "You're fucking kidding me."
"Yeah." Yun Ming nodded heavily: "Yes.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, split personality. "
"Split personality is a different concept from having two people in the body..." Because Yun Ming's answer was too insulting to his IQ, even Pu Cheshi stopped supporting him this time and was the first to complain.
Xiao Qi's complaints also followed, and the intensity escalated: "Of your two personalities, one represents an idiot, and the other represents an even more idiot..."
"Mr. Zhuge, I want to ask you very seriously." No matter how much Pu Che Shi and Xiao Qi teased him, Yun Ming only cared about one thing: "If, I mean if, there is another soul in my body, you Are you sure you can expel them?"
Zhuge Rong immediately shook his head firmly: "It can't be done. Although I have dabbled in various aspects of metaphysics, I am knowledgeable but not sophisticated. I am not as good as an orthodox alchemist. It is definitely not my place to kill demons."
"You can only know what's going on but don't know why. There's no way to solve the problem." Yun Ming thought to himself.
"Although I don't know why you kept silent about this matter, I'm sure it wouldn't be a good thing for that foreign soul to be attached to you." As a stranger whom we just met for the first time, Zhuge Rong said These words showed his kindness: "When you get off the boat, find a knowledgeable person to get rid of it as soon as possible."
"Thank you." Yun Ming replied, which was considered as acknowledging the existence of another soul from the side.
"You're welcome. By the way, we are destined to meet each other. Mr. Yun, I would like to make a hexagram for you. What do you think?"
Since Zhuge Rong took the initiative to mention that he wanted to give Yun Ming a fortune, the latter naturally had no reason to refuse. In fact, Yun Ming was quite moved: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhuge."
"No trouble, no trouble."
The three of them saw Zhuge Rong immediately taking off several rings from the ten fingers of his hands and throwing them on the table as casually as throwing dice, and the entire process of forming a hexagram was over.
"So quick..."
"Is it reliable..."
"This is the first time I've seen someone divulge jadeite and opal..."
The above is the inner monologue of Yun Ming, Xiao Qi and Pu Che Shi. Of course, they were very wise and did not express any doubts, but quietly waited for Zhuge Rong to complete the interpretation of the hexagram.
However, Zhuge Rong stared at the table and remained silent for several minutes before sighing and expressing emotion to Yun Ming: "Mr. Yun, it's not easy..."
"Master Zhuge, can you elaborate..."
"cannot."
"Why?"
"If you can't, you can't." At this moment, Zhuge Rong was talking like a scoundrel, but his attitude was firm. At the same time, he quickly put the ring that was scattered on the table back on his hand, as if he was afraid that Yun Ming and the other three would look at it for too long. This led to the hexagram being recorded.
Yun Ming was still staring at Zhuge Rong's ring. He was unwilling to give up this opportunity: "Master, I won't force it. Do you think it would be convenient for you to use poems, code words or riddles to remind me?"
"this……"
Zhuge Rong hesitated. After thinking for a moment, he decided to let go:
"Fine."
"Listen carefully."
Zhuge Rong did use code words to convey information to Yun Ming, and that sentence only had eight words.
Those eight characters are——
What you gain is mulberry elm, and what you lose is the east corner.
