My golden finger is not right

sixteen,

Because I didn't want to cause trouble to Miss Keiko, I finally just told Hua Piao what happened.He had been guarding the roof of the school teaching building before, not following me, so he didn't know anything about my running into other people's dreams without authorization.

I told him the general story, and mentioned the matter of Huashanyuan and Concubine Mori by the way.

"You're really brave..." Hua Piao was a little stunned, and stopped eating sushi.

He wiped his mouth hastily with his sleeve, and his tone became a little more formal: "Master Yan Ye, you said that the method of dreaming you used all came from a book at home. If I guessed correctly, this book should be The lord who holds the Wangjing grass, the "Mountain and Field Miscellaneous Scrolls"."

I nodded in surprise, but saw that his face gradually turned serious.

"It really is it..." Hua Piao adjusted her posture, slumped down and straightened up again.

"If possible, Young Master Yan Ye should just treat it as a ghost novel, or just gossip in the wild."

"After all, even the editor of this book has never heard of some of these secret techniques, so Yu Yan, Young Master Ye, is still too dangerous..."

There are many people who know about this "Mountain and Field Miscellaneous Volumes", but very few people know it.Because of this, Gai's books are all written in Chinese, and the monsters in the mountains don't even know a few languages ​​in their own country, let alone Chinese.Therefore, this book has always been regarded as a shelved thing, and few people mention it.

"But Young Master Yan Ye, don't you think it's strange? That adult is also a mountain monster, how can he understand Chinese, not to mention the various secret methods in the book, which can only be displayed with a human physique."

Hua Piao saw that I was bewildered and sighed slightly, and continued: "Strictly speaking, there should be two editors of this book. One is the lord, and the other is an unknown guy."

"About this unknowable person, I am not very clear about the specifics. It is just hearsay. After all, there were hundreds of years before I was born."

"In short, its origin is quite mysterious. It is neither a monster nor a human being, but it knows both well. After it became friends with that adult, they compiled this book together. In fact, more There should be one oral story and another recorded and then added to it."

"From its appearance to its disappearance, it only stayed for one or two hundred years, and then disappeared. And that "Mountain and Field Miscellaneous Volumes", which was unknown when it was compiled, became famous after it was completed."

"Because the unknowable once said such a saying, when the book rolls around for the thousandth time, the person who holds the book is the one it is waiting for. Take the book to find it , it can fulfill a wish of the holder, and the way to find it is hidden in the book."

"Because of its mysterious identity and relationship with that lord, when the news came out, many monsters were moved. Later, I don't know who stole it from that lord's house at the risk of being eaten. took this book."

"It's just that for some reason, no matter how many years this book has been tossed around, its holder will suffer misfortune. This hot potato finally disappeared in the monster world when it was tossed more than 900 times."

"Although this kind of misfortune is just a slight bad luck, it is still too dangerous for the human Master Yan Ye."

"But having said that, I'm surprised that Master Yan Ye can understand Chinese, because the country of Hua has always been a very powerful and mysterious country, whether it's monsters or humans living in that mysterious country, they are all A guy with thousands of years of inheritance. It is said that there, as long as certain conditions are met, everyone can have the opportunity to become a god. Of course, now that the monsters are on the decline, I don’t know what the pattern there has become.”

"I guess that unknowable person may be the god who crossed from Huaguodong. It's just that why it compiles that book and why it makes a thousand promises is still unknown."

"As for the secret technique recorded in that book, no one has ever tried it before. No one knows whether Master Yan Ye used it so rashly, whether it will be good or bad."

I nodded and took his warning into account.

Although from the moment I saw that book, I felt that it was very important to me, and it was almost completely beneficial and harmless, but Hua Piao's worries were not unreasonable.Thinking about it, I'd better wait for this matter, and I'd better write to the mountain god to ask about it.

Seeing that I heard it, the goblet fell down again, stuffed the sushi into his mouth and said vaguely: "Speaking of which, Master Yan Ye, besides Huashanyuan and Concubine Mori, don't you think your name is Ibuki?" Is something wrong with your friend?"

I was crossing my legs and opened the lunch box to enjoy it, but I slowed down after hearing what he said.

Ibuki?How could he have a problem?

Hua Piao was not in a hurry to explain, he pointed to his empty lunch box at me, and he didn't pick up the topic just after I filled some sushi into it.

"It's just that he doesn't have the guts to burn the rope, and it's not his dream at all, so he wakes up whenever he wants to."

"How is it possible?! What I entered was his dream!"

Hua Piao shook the empty lunch box again, I had already lost my appetite by him, so I stuffed my own lunch box into his arms.

Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows, and was not in a hurry to eat. He slowly took out a handkerchief from his wide cuff, wiped his mouth and said, "According to what you said, there is an interface connecting to other dimensions in the dream, right? Do you still remember what that space looked like?"

I was about to describe, but suddenly lost my words.

What does that place... look like?

Seeing that I couldn't answer, Hua Piao showed a clear expression: "No one can describe that place, because no one who goes in can get out, and even if they come out, they can't remember it. And this place, we generally call it It's a grave."

This is an extremely special ability that generally only exists among ghosts and monsters, because only after they kill humans, they will continue to control and drive their souls for their own use.

This is the so-called no liberation after death.

And ghosts generally hide the souls they control in a place that only they know, usually an extended world created by themselves, a place only known to them.Once the soul is held there by the ghosts, there is no chance of escape.

"So what you entered is not Ibuki's dream at all, but the main world where that guy lives, and the place where you meet Ibuki is its extended world, the buried grave."

"Although I don't know how Ibuki entered or was dragged into that world, it seems quite strange that you entered that world. After all, Ibuki was not dreaming at that time, and you should wake up without dreaming anything. Just come here."

"Anyway, at this point in time, it's better to be careful..."

After Hua Piao finished speaking, he patted my shoulder and said nothing more.

-

I don't know how credible Yibuki's words are, but after waking up from that "dream", for a long time, everything was calm.

Ibuki might have really burned that guy's rope, but he was never bothered by the dream again.It's just that He Hesen has never been found.

The police came one after another, and finally even conducted a large-scale search in the school, but it was still fruitless.

I have some doubts whether all this has something to do with Huashanyuan, whether she knows that her best friend has turned into a ghost, and dragged away He Hesen who wanted to bully her.

I couldn't make up my mind, so I never told Ibuki about their connection.

Hua Piao told me that if He Hesen was really dragged away by that guy, now that time has passed so long, she might have been buried in the grave with her body and soul, completely controlled by the other party So, the guy I saw at that time should be the ghostly He Hesen.

According to my description, the source of all fear comes from the rope, so burning the rope should be equivalent to burning the medium of control and harmony. She should have become a Buddha now.

However, Hualao's attitude towards whether or not the rope was burned was rather playful.

"You said before that Ibuki likes Hesen very much, right?"

"Then maybe he didn't burn the rope."

Originally, in He Hesen's ghostly state, there was basically no solution, but I accidentally put the rope around He Hesen's neck.

"If it is explained in the form of rules, then all curses come from that rope. Once caught by it, it is equivalent to being cursed by it. No matter where you hide, you will be caught again by it until You won't be able to escape even if you die."

"But the rope was put back on the curser in the end. It's a bit like a positive negative. The curses issued by the rope have been eliminated. Similarly, the curse on He Hesen should have disappeared."

Speaking of this, Huabao paused slightly, with a rather strange expression: "Although the curse has disappeared, it only means that the guy who first controlled the power of the rope can no longer control He and the forest. Although the rope has become an ownerless things, but the power of the curse remains."

"If, at this time, someone puts this rope back around He Hesen's neck..."

"Tsk... You said that Ibuki likes Kazumori very much, right?"

I was engrossed in listening, and for a moment I didn't understand why he asked again, so I nodded hesitantly.

"So... can he really watch He Hesen become a Buddha and leave him completely instead of keeping her by any means?"

"If humans are possessed by demons, they will be more terrifying than monsters..."

"You mean... Impossible! How is this possible!" I couldn't accept his conjecture, and stood up directly from the tatami mat, but after hesitating for a long time, those rebuttal words were stuck in my throat again, unable to speak out .

"Seeing is believing. You didn't see him burn the rope with your own eyes. How can you be so sure? Besides..." Hua Piao put his hands crossed into his cuffs, stood up slowly, and walked towards the door, "That Ibuki's recent state should be clear to you, right?"

The paper door was gently closed, but the sound of the scoop wrapping Miss Keiko cooking could still be faintly heard.

I lost strength for a moment, and sat back on the tatami mat, speechless for a long time.

... Ibuki's recent... status?

I thought of something, and suddenly felt a chill in my heart.
