Ghost of Rebirth

In fact, Ji Ying had heard the story of the proprietress before. After he and Zhang Nanchen came out of the trapped Renshou Lane, the old man who claimed to be Zhang Nanchen's apprentice told almost the same story.

The only difference is that one happened in the Republic of China 90 years ago, and the other happened in the late Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

Zhang Nanchen and he didn't take what the old man said back then. Now it seems that these two incidents are probably man-made, and the purpose is to return that drop of hard work to Zhang Nanchen.

A drop of hard work may have come from more than a thousand years ago.

Ji Ying's face was extremely ugly, and he was also extremely flustered. Could it be that this time, he would really lose the little uncle who had tried everything possible to stay?

Ji Yan looked at the nameless lake where Ji Ying walked stiffly, stared solemnly at the lake for a long time, and then wanted to jump into it without saying a word.

"Fuck!" Song Qin was ordered by Ji Yan to carry Ji Ying with him, and quickly hugged him by the waist, "I know you and Nan Chen have a good relationship, but you don't have to be so exaggerated by dying for love, right?"

Ji Ying looked back at him coldly, and pushed the big man aside with two fingers.

Ji Ying came up to relay the relay and used the real kung fu of Zhanyi eighteen falls, so that Ji Ying could only play judo with him.

The proprietress couldn't stand it anymore, she came out and said Shi Shiran: "This lake can't go down anytime, you have to wait."

After Ji Ying was dealt with in one sentence, Pinsong felt that the proprietress' skill should be stronger than his own, and then spent the patiently waiting time holding onto the proprietress's argument, admiring while talking, shouting how such a talent was buried in the A remote town inn.

According to the proprietress, the entrance in the middle of the Wuming Lake will only be opened on the night of the full moon.The locals all know that this lake cannot be lowered, otherwise they will be sucked out of their souls. In fact, they were frightened by the accident that happened many years ago.

Ji Yan rubbed his chin, no wonder they haven't seen locals or tourists playing in the water after so many days.Generally speaking, such well-known scenic spots with natural lakes will develop charging items for sightseeing in the lake.

The aquatic plants under the Wuming Lake have always grown luxuriantly like this, and it seems that they are not affected by the changes of time.

Ji Ying just sat by the lake every day, looking at the aquatic plants in the water with his obsidian eyes, no one knew what he was thinking.

Ji Ying only knew a rough idea, seeing the only descendant of the Ji family stationed by the lake every day like a watchman, she finally couldn't control her legs.

"Hey, Huahua." This time he changed to a more nasty name, and he managed to attract Ji Ying's attention, "What did the old man tell you before he left?"

Hearing the words, Ji Ying turned her head, showing a somewhat bewildered expression, and said after an unknown amount of time: "Senior Ji, we can no longer keep the secret."

Ji Yan didn't know which secret he was talking about, but when he said "we", Ji Yan guessed it meant the second one,

This is a secret that only those who inherit the mantle of the Ji family can know, and now only Ji Ying knows, and this secret is related to Zhang Nanchen's life experience.

When Zhang Nanchen was brought into Ji's house, Ji Yan was already more than ten years old, and he still had a fresh memory of the scene at that time.At that time, Zhang Nanchen was only two or three years old, and was ushered in wearing temporary new children's clothes. The old man said he was a new apprentice, but Zhang Nanchen had been stupid since he was a child. talent.

He said he was an apprentice, but the old man had no intention of teaching him seriously. Instead, he raised Ji Ying and Zhang Nanchen, who were similar in age, together. The two were uncles and nephews in seniority, but they were actually childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Little, the other men in Ji's family didn't restrain them either.

Ji Ying has been too indifferent since she was a child. She was not close to her biological father or Ji Yan's elder brother. The legendary Yanhua Sword.

Ever since Ji Ying was born, the old man gave Ji Ying the Yanhua Sword as a toy, and Ji Ying has been with the sword day and night. After Zhang Nanchen came to Ji's house, Ji Ying only had a playmate of the same age in her life.

Before he was kicked out of Ji's house, Ji Yan noticed that the two of them were too close.During the three years when Zhang Nanchen was seriously injured and comatose, Ji Yan also agreed to Ji Ying's request to rebuild his memory together.The reason Ji Ying gave was very powerful, and this was the only request of the old man when he was dying——Zhang Nanchen must not be allowed to leave Jiangnan Ji's.

Ji Yan didn't know the reason, so he asked this question.

Ji Ying woke up from the daze, looked at Ji Yan and said: "Grandfather said, there is a wandering soul sealed in the body of the little uncle, which should have been wiped out long ago, and it is related to the root of the Ji family."

What he didn't say was that this wandering soul was originally sealed in the Yanhua Sword, but later the old man used Zhang Nanchen's body as a container to tailor a perfect cage for it.

Ji Yan was dumbfounded, and took a long time to take out the cigarette case from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it, and began to recall the past.

When Zhang Nanchen first arrived at Ji's house, he was so stupid that he couldn't even speak clearly, he could only say words like hungry and hugging.Hearing that this is his junior brother, Ji Yan thought that the old man had gone crazy, and wanted to take an idiot suffering from soul-leaving disease as his apprentice.

Hearing this, the old man just gave him a blank look, and said that Zhang Nanchen will get better and better, and maybe surpass Ji Ying in the future.

Ji Ying's talent and aptitude are obvious to all, Pingsong old Taoist is the witness, and this old Taoist also witnessed Zhang Nanchen's clumsiness and dullness.

After coming to Ji's house for a while, Zhang Nanchen really became smarter, learned to speak and eat by himself in a short time, and was extremely attached to Jiying.But his intelligence was not shown in Taoism practice, and the old man didn't force it when he saw it. Anyway, there was only Ji Ying who he wanted to focus on training.

Ji Yan said "Oh" to indicate receipt, and closed his mouth that grew out of surprise.

Ji Ying also turned her head back. He was not a good talker, and he was not used to telling others the secrets deep in his heart.

The red cotton in the Wuming Lake is still in full bloom, Ji Ying looked up at the moon, the midnight of the full moon night should be coming soon.

Seeing his "don't talk to me" expression on his face, Ji Yan had no choice but to touch his nose and go back to the inn to find the proprietress.

The proprietress said that the entrance under the lake will be opened tonight, but she didn't say what the entrance looks like or how to get in. Ji Yan, who also knows nothing, can only ask people to go back to the city to get a few sets of diving equipment.According to his thinking, the entrance must be underwater, so he must dive down, but seeing the dense aquatic plants under the water, he felt that diving in this nameless lake was not a good idea.

The weather is fine tonight, and a bright moon has risen very high.

As the peak season was over, the tourists in Hongmian Town suddenly appeared and then disappeared in a concentrated manner. There was no one besides the nameless lake except Ji Ying. This may be because the location of the Red Line Inn was too remote.

Under the cold moonlight, Ji Ying stood alone by the lake.

The surface of the sparkling lake suddenly changed. The aquatic plants that were stretching their branches and leaves in the water suddenly rolled in one direction. Countless black holes appeared in the water at the same time, as if something was about to break through the water. Or attract foreign objects into it.

In fact, this scene was only seen by Ji Ying. The Wuming Lake, illuminated only by moonlight, was still too dim, and ordinary people could not clearly see what was happening under the surface of the lake.

The proprietress walked to him silently: "Can you see it?"

Still staring at the Wuming Lake, Ji Ying nodded in response, and asked after a while, "Go down now?"

He was only wearing the simplest T-shirt and jeans, holding the Soul Calling Bell and the Yanhua Sword in his hands, and nothing else. It seemed that he could jump into this weird nameless lake without hesitation as long as the proprietress answered "yes".

"It's not yet time, so wait." The proprietress looked at the young man's profile and found that he was very handsome, she couldn't help but feel a little pity.

She has lived in the Cotton Tree Inn for so many years, and has seen accidents where she accidentally fell into the water on the night of the full moon. If she is lucky, she can be picked up by someone, but she is a little frightened. If she is unlucky, she disappears in this time and space. No bones remained.

This handsome young man seems to have a plan in mind, or is not afraid of life and death.In the world below the nameless lake, there must be someone very important to him.

Ji Yan asked Song Qin and Li Ran to move several sets of diving equipment to the lakeside, and Pingsong Laodao also walked around the lakeside with his goatee twisted, and finally stood beside Jiying.

"Isn't there anything growing in this lake except water plants?" Pinsong probably could see the vision in the lake, and sighed, "The water plants are so lush, even if you wear a diving suit, you may be entangled to death. Brother Ji , what do you say?"

Ping Song can be regarded as an insider of Zhang Nanchen's life experience, and was asked by Ji Ying to hide the truth together, but he is old and doesn't take many things so seriously. At this time, he really wants to persuade Ji Ying to let go when it's time to let go, don't go too far persistent.

Hearing this, Ji Ying finally gave him some attention: "Since I was born, I know that I cannot do without my junior uncle in this life, so there is no need for Senior Pingsong to persuade me."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Ping Song had no choice but to pull his goatee and give up lobbying.

After a long period of stillness, Ji Ying's figure finally moved. He watched the water plants writhing wildly like snakes under the lake, and the huge black hole gradually gathering in the center of the lake. He turned to Ji Yan and said, "I'm going down alone. That's fine, you don't have to take any risks."

Song Qin was not very proficient in putting on a diving suit, he was taken aback when he heard this, and glanced at Ji Yan in bewilderment.

Ji Ying didn't give them more time to refute, pinned the Soul Calling Bell and Yanhua Sword to her waist, turned around and jumped, and disappeared under the thick aquatic plants.
