All the people in the small Taoist temple are not human

Seeing that Yuan Ji was not joking, Cheng Xinghai asked sadly: "Boyfriend, do you have a bad sense of taste?"

"My sense of taste is normal." Yuan Ji didn't understand why Cheng Xinghai had a problem.

Cheng Xinghai became even more worried: "Then did I abuse you before? Why are you giving me this?"

Yuan Ji looked at the steamed buns in his hand in puzzlement: "Don't you like eating steamed buns?"

"It's not a question of whether you like it or not, it's a question of whether you can eat it or not." Cheng Xinghai said.

Yuan Ji broke off a small piece and tasted it, signaling Cheng Xinghai to rest assured: "It's not poisonous, you can eat it."

Cheng Xinghai: "...When we mortals eat food, we will comprehensively consider many factors such as texture, taste, appearance, etc. This thing is almost as hard as a rock."

Yuan Ji didn't quite understand Cheng Xinghai's meaning, and he was worried about not letting Cheng Xinghai, who is now a mortal, go hungry: "I have eaten this kind of food before, don't worry, I can eat it."

Cheng Xinghai was shocked: "How did you eat this kind of food?"

"In the past, someone sacrificed to Chi Yan, and when he came to visit me, he would occasionally bring me some of his sacrifices." Yuan Ji said.

Cheng Xinghai: "..."

It is strongly suspected that Chi Yan sent it to Yuan Ji because he didn't want to eat it himself.

"Honey, when the matter here is settled, I'll take you out for a big meal." Cheng Xinghai patted Yuan Ji's shoulder distressedly, and suddenly smelled a smell of fried chicken.

Is it his delusion?

Cheng Xinghai searched around the cafeteria, and found that the part of the cafeteria facing south against the wall was higher than other places, like a stage.

There was a pair of tables and chairs on the stage, and Jiang Demao walked up with a plate of fried chicken, and said loudly: "Students, let us congratulate another classmate who is about to graduate and start his new life."

Cheng Xinghai and Yuan Ji looked at the stage at the same time. Under the thunderous applause of the students, Jiang Yuan stood up and walked to the stage.

Cheng Xinghai was surprised: "Jiang Yuan graduated today? Could it be that seven days have passed?"

Yuan Ji's face changed slightly: "It should be that the time flow rate in that small world is different from that here."

They feel that only one night has passed, and the actual time here should be six days.Jiang Yuan came one day earlier than them. This was Jiang Yuan's seventh day in this school, and it was the day when his parents came to pick him up.

The two looked at each other, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

On the stage, Jiang Demao was cursing passionately: "You bunch of rubbish! Scum! Bugs! You are lucky to have the opportunity to come to our Tzu Chi Academy. Today, Jiang Yuan finally changed his mind, stopped being rebellious, no longer willful, and became an obedient good man. Children, you cockroaches should also learn from him! Now, reward Jiang Yuan with fried chicken!"

Jiang Yuan immediately grabbed the fried chicken in front of him and devoured it, looking like a zombie.

The students in the audience were overwhelmed by the smell of fried chicken, and hadn't eaten a decent meal for many days, their eyes glowed with greed.

Amidst the aroma of fried chicken, Cheng Xinghai sighed at the two hard steamed buns in front of him: "I didn't expect that a ghost school would start PUA these days. The wisdom of mortals is really amazing."

Yuan Ji doesn't know what PUA is, but he knows that Cheng Xinghai is definitely not praising them: "This comparison between pickled vegetables and fried chicken should be to make students submit faster. Let's find the souls of the students here first."

Cheng Xinghai nodded: "There are still many places in this academy that we haven't visited, and the souls may be hidden there. But the question is, what method does Qi Dian use to extract the souls of the students? Don't let us look for the souls, There's a new victim."

"It should be the formations used. There are too many formations in the academy. Breaking the formations by force will easily cause danger to the mortals here. It will take some time for me to solve the formations." Yuan Ji said.

Because Tzu Chi Academy does not allow cell phones to enter, Cheng Xinghai bought a pair of couple watches for himself and Yuanji before departure.He glanced at the time on his watch, and speculated: "I heard Jiang Yuan's parents say that they would pick him up in the afternoon after seven days. Now it's morning, and we still have a little time. You go to clear the formation, and I'll go find the soul."

Yuan Ji didn't want to be separated from Cheng Xinghai, but he also knew that time was limited: "Then you must come back."

Cheng Xinghai smiled: "Of course, I want to go home hand in hand with my boyfriend."

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Yuan Ji kissed him, and the two walked out of the cafeteria in two different directions.

Tall cedar trees were planted in the academy, covering the already dark sky, making the surroundings even more gloomy.

Cheng Xinghai walked aimlessly, always feeling that there was something waiting for him in the depths of the academy.

The further we walked in, the more silent the surrounding area became, until even the sound of the wind disappeared.

Cheng Xinghai stood on the basketball court of the academy, narrowing his eyes.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he could vaguely see a phantom on the outside of the basketball court, as if a huge mirror was placed there, reflecting the entire Tzu Chi Academy.

Cheng Xinghai walked across the basketball court to the edge of the court.

The vision here is clearer, and one can indeed see a blurred reflection of the academy, and there are black shadows moving slowly inside, like students trapped in it.

Cheng Xinghai thought for a while, then jumped into the phantom.

Immediately, there was a shrill sound of wind, and the invisible gust of wind was so sharp that it crushed the pebbles accidentally kicked in by Cheng Xinghai into powder.

The wind blade that could easily tear apart the soul turned into a gentle spring breeze when it touched Cheng Xinghai, and slowly fell to the ground supporting his body.

The mirror world is indeed another Tzu Chi Academy, but this one is not as solemn as the previous one, but full of people.

Most of them wandered around dull-eyed, like unconscious ghosts.Occasionally, a few people hid in the dark, carefully observing the newcomer Cheng Xinghai.

At this moment, Cheng Xinghai heard a cheer: "Brother Cheng!" Jiang Yuan happily ran out from behind a tree not far away, and rushed to Cheng Xinghai, "Are you here to save me?"

Cheng Xinghai nodded slightly, and glanced at Jiang Yuan's feet.

Jiang Yuan was worried that he was afraid, so he took a step back in embarrassment, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I have no shadow now, did I become a ghost after I died? I won't harm you, don't worry!"

"It's not dead, it's just that most of your soul was drawn out. Your body and the rest of your soul were still eating fried chicken just now." Cheng Xinghai said.

Jiang Yuan was annoyed: "What? I have been eating stinky pickles all the time, why do I have fried chicken now?"

"Because your parents came to pick you up today." Cheng Xinghai said while scanning the rest of the souls, and sure enough, he saw the boy who bought water in it.

It's just different from Jiang Yuan's vividness. The soul of the boy who bought water has been here for too long, and his self-consciousness has been blurred. He just wanders around a tree mechanically, letting the power of the soul continue to die.

Jiang Yuan scolded angrily, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Brother Cheng, why did you two suddenly disappear?"

"I was pulled into another world. What happened after we left?" Cheng Xinghai asked.

Jiang Yuan was a little embarrassed: "After the two of you disappeared, I was too scared and ran out. But before I got out of the building, I was caught by those teachers and locked up in the confinement room. I stayed there for about two days. God, my consciousness became a little unclear later on. When it becomes clearer again, I will be here."

"Have you been to any special places during the period?" Cheng Xinghai asked.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and shook his head: "No, I remember being in the confinement room for those days, but my consciousness seemed to be getting more and more blurred. The confinement room seemed to be a student dormitory. Later, after I became more obedient, they would let me go out to eat .”

It seems that the soul-drawing formation came into play when the students entered the academy, and seven days was enough to remove most of the students' souls, and then let the parents take them back to make room for new students.

Jiang Yuan didn't understand the twists and turns, and asked worriedly: "Brother Cheng, can I still go back to my body?"

"Should be able to, I'll take you out first." Cheng Xinghai said.

Jiang Yuan watched him show his skills expectantly, but Cheng Xinghai took out two bowls of steamed buns from the cafeteria.

Jiang Yuan: "Brother, do you want me to go begging with you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, come in." Cheng Xinghai gave him a sidelong glance.

Jiang Yuan was about to ask him how such a big person could get into that small bowl, when he suddenly found that his body turned into a halo and actually got into the bowl.

"Conditions are limited, you have to be patient." Cheng Xinghai instructed him, reciting the spell silently, and all the souls around turned into balls of light and entered into the bowl.

Jiang Yuan only felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Had he known this, he should have applied to stay at the top.

After Cheng Xinghai finished collecting the souls, he used another bowl as a lid, and placed it upside down on the bowl full of souls.

In this mirror world, there is a formation similar to the academy outside, which should be used to extract the soul here and save it until the soul dies.

If there is a soul that wants to go out, the wind blade that Cheng Xinghai encounters when he comes in will crush the soul.

Cheng Xinghai walked around the mirror world, making sure he didn't miss any soul, and then walked towards the exit.

However, he could not find the previous basketball court.

Is this still a one-way passage?

Cheng Xinghai looked at the direction he came in distressedly, and suddenly felt the ground shake, like an earthquake.

Everything in the mirror world gradually became blurred and gradually disappeared. Cheng Xinghai found himself still standing outside the basketball court.

He returned to the original world.

Yuanji's body floated above the academy, the formations embedded in the academy layer by layer disappeared, and the bright sky shone down. The students in the academy raised their eyes blankly, feeling glaring because they looked directly at the sun.

Yuan Ji flew to Cheng Xinghai and landed: "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, I've found all my souls." Cheng Xinghai showed him the porcelain bowl in his hand, and the two went to return the souls of the students who were still in the academy first, and the remaining souls had to be returned one by one after they left.

The souls of those people have been out of the body for too long, even if the souls can return to their places smoothly now, it will take a long time to recover.

The souls of the students here have not been away for a long time, and they will soon return to their original state.After recovering, Xue Yuan was the first to hold back, and punched Jiang Demao who was beside him with his backhand: "Bastard, you were the one who hit me with a stick before!"

After all, the number of students was the majority, and soon there was chaos in the school.

Jiang Demao was rescued by his colleagues, but found that they were unable to control the situation, so he fled in fright, and went straight to the staff dormitory to run away with money.

However, when he opened the desk drawer, he was so scared that he almost forgot to breathe.Those red bills were not the ones he was familiar with, and what was printed on them were ghost coins wearing emperor crowns.

"It seems that I guessed it right." Cheng Xinghai took out a Ming coin and compared it to Yuan Ji's face, and said regretfully, "This currency is not circulated in the underworld, so is it circulated after printing your face?"

Yuan Ji: "... Ordinary paper printing is useless to anyone."

The author has something to say: Cheng Xinghai: I really want to print my boyfriend’s face on Mingbi, so that I can just take a picture of him when I run out of money

Yuanji: ... living people can't use Ming coins
