After handing in the cub game

After seeing the direction where Yan Jue and Zhang Zizhen's gaze stayed, Li Huaiqing felt relieved, no longer restrained, took the initiative to hold something two or three steps away from the door, and entered the room with the invisible person.

"Hold on."

Zhang Zizhen quickly went back to his room to get a cinnabar pen and a yellow talisman, drew three eye-opening talismans and patted them on the three of them.

With the upper body on the talisman paper, Yan Jue blinked, and looked at the illusory woman beside Li Huaiqing, who stood beside him like a projection and was held by his hand.

That should be Meimei.

Meimei was wearing a dark blue cheongsam with a silver flying crane brooch on her chest. Her long silver-gray hair was rolled up behind her head. Even if she was no longer young, the traces of time on her face were deeply imprinted. Elegant and gentle temperament.Her figure was not solid, and there was not even a faint shadow below her knees. She just floated in the air and smiled gently at them, greeting them silently.

"Well, can you get me one too?" Li Huaiqing said in an excited voice.

Zhang Zizhen said in surprise: "You can't see?"

"I can only feel Meimei's presence, but I can't see her."

The moment Zhang Zizhen took the talisman on him, Li Huaiqing immediately turned to look beside him.He was stunned at first, but after a few seconds, his eyes turned red, and he turned his back to prevent the juniors in the room from seeing his ugly appearance.

Meimei patted him on the back, with obvious worry in her eyes.

Yan Jue and Zhang Zizhen looked at each other, wanting to comfort but didn't know what to say, finally they could only pull the expressionless Wen Xuyang to him and let him stand on top.

Wen Xuyang: "..."

He said stiffly: "Old Li, what do you want from us?"

It's better to talk about business than to talk about feelings.

Li Huaiqing wiped away tears, tidied himself up, and sat on the sofa with his lover, not daring to relax for a moment, staring at the other person who almost fell to the ground. It was Wen Xuyang who helped him in time to prevent the tragedy from happening.

"We came here to ask this little Taoist priest if we can send Meimei into reincarnation." Li Huaiqing managed to move his eyes away, looked at the three surprised people opposite, and showed a perfect smile: "Meimei I have been with me in this world for four years, I shouldn't be so greedy anymore."

Therefore, Li Huaiqing's story has some supernatural elements in his own narration.

After the death of his lover, Li Huaiqing was so distraught that he wished he could just follow him, but he knew he couldn't. He was not alone in this world, so he could only leave the pain to time to see how much it could take away. .

More than half a month later, when he felt his lover was by his side for the first time, he also thought he was unconscious, but he didn't want to be treated, he liked being unconscious like this.But when this feeling has not disappeared for several months, and sometimes he can even faintly feel his lover touching him, he can no longer regard these abnormalities as symptoms.

Didn't the doctor also say that he has no mental problems, didn't he?

So he started experimenting and began to communicate with his lover. When he really felt a touch of coldness in the specific position of his palm many times, he was ecstatic.

His lover is by his side.

So he was no longer depressed, and began to travel across the country with his lover's last wish and soul—he stubbornly believed so.

It was not a big deal for him to accidentally sprain his ankle while going down the mountain after watching the sunrise, but Meimei was in a hurry and didn't communicate according to the secret code they agreed on. She hit him many times with bang bang bang, enough to make him Feel the other party's frustration.

Then he came to this nursing home.

He picked up Go, which he never wanted to learn before, and asked Meimei to teach him. He went out to practice games during the day and came back to continue learning at night. After realizing that he really had no talent in this area, he developed the habit of itching his hands every day.

Such a fulfilling life lasted for three years, until Zhang Zizhen appeared and broke his inner peace.

Lovers can exist as souls, so wouldn't it be possible for Taoist priests to have supernatural powers?He hasn't forgotten who can enter this sanatorium. A Taoist priest came here at this time, and it seemed that he would stay there for a long time. Could it be that he came here on purpose after discovering something?

He asked his lover to hide in the mountains first, and then make follow-up arrangements after he figured out the Taoist priest's ability.

Unexpectedly, on the day when the other two young men came, he pretended to go for a stroll in the village and was actually talking to his lover. The lover told him that she found a cat demon with one eye and three tails in the deep mountains. , The cat demon can also make many kinds of animal sounds.

This disturbed him because the world seemed to be getting weirder and weirder.

"When Lao Hu asked me to cooperate with him to test you, I knew the opportunity was coming." Li Huaiqing smiled: "He asked me to pretend that I didn't believe that there were tigers in the mountains to refute him. your doubts."

I wonder if he saw a monster.

Yan Jue's eyes widened: "Then you showed worry when you heard the Taoist priest, did you do it on purpose?"

There is no bronze in the co-authored nursing home, all of them are kings.

Li Huaiqing did not deny it.Only in this way will it make him seem reasonable when he grabbed Zhang Zizhen for questioning just now.

"It's her own consent to use the matter between me and Meimei to draw you closer."

"From Xiao Zhang's words, I guessed that he might have real skills. And although Meimei didn't get too close to you last night, she didn't know what happened, but she saw the cat demon entering a certain place near you. When I was in the range, all the sounds disappeared, so I told me that it might be Xiao Zhang who made it and let me try it out today."

After speaking, he laughed at himself again: "Actually, I don't want to send Meimei away at all."

Meimei was not surprised when she heard this sentence, she still had a faint smile on her lips.

Li Huaiqing glanced at her, and felt slightly relieved for a moment.

He shook his head, lowered his eyes to hide the regret in his eyes, and said: "But I have read a lot of supernatural novels or folklore these years, and they all say that the longer the soul stays in the world, the more it consumes itself, and there is no harm to the next life." benefit."

"With such a possibility, what's the importance of my thoughts? Meimei has been with me for four more years. When I let her die, she couldn't be safe. How can I delay her next life?"

As soon as these words came out, the room became silent again.Only Meimei was still the same, patting the back of Li Huaiqing's hand lightly as if to comfort him, but she didn't care.

Faced with such words, Yan Jue didn't know what to do.

Li Huaiqing obviously thought that the world they lived in was already magical, and it was only now that he discovered the other side.He thought that everything would be perfect as in the book, there are monsters, Taoist priests and ghosts, isn't it normal to have reincarnation?

He can understand his thoughts, but the problem is that there is no reincarnation in this world, if you want to send Meimei away, it can only be a farewell.

Besides, Meimei, before the aura revived, she was just a soul fragment, which naturally wouldn't harm anyone. After the aura revived, she had a relatively complete human form, which showed that she was unconsciously absorbing the aura to strengthen herself. It was just herself. I don't know.

Of course, this is just Yan Jue's good guess. There is another way to strengthen himself that is not very friendly, and he doesn't want the other party to be contaminated.

"This..." Yan Jue raised his head, only to realize that he didn't know Meimei's surname until now, so he could only say, "Mrs. Li."

Li Huaiqing corrected: "Her surname is Mei, and the single name is Mei."

It turned out that Meimei was her real name.

"Ms. Mei, and Mr. Li." Yan Jue looked at them and asked, "May I ask, how did you tell Mr. Li about the monster?"

Li Huaiqing replied: "Meimei used to only touch me once, which made me feel a bit cool, so we used one or two touches to express yes or no. As time went on, I realized that Meimei would not disappear easily. Finally, we learned the Morse code to communicate. But I think it is too tiring, and I am afraid that it will consume Meimei's strength, so I rarely use it."

He also said: "Just a few months ago, Meimei could suddenly touch real objects and push them a little bit. Now, Meimei can already pick up a mechanical pencil lead. We gave up the Morse code. She Communicate with me by marking the words in the book with a refill."

"Every time I open the book and connect those words together sentence by sentence, it is the time I am most looking forward to and the happiest."

What a big bowl of dog food.

Yan Jue tried his best to ignore the feeling of fullness, and followed the procedure tenaciously: "Then did this happen suddenly without warning, or did it happen because Ms. Mei unconsciously swallowed other things like light balls?"

He spoke very euphemistically and did not mention obvious words.

The two people on the opposite side were taken aback, Meimei was the first to react and waved her hand vigorously, and then tapped on Li Huaiqing's arm.

Li Huaiqing translated a little bit: "Meimei said that in the past four years, she has never encountered anything like her. Sometimes an old man dies in the village, and she has never found a ghost in the other's home."

"She said he knew what you meant, Xiao Yan." Li Huai paused, and said, "I've read a lot of novels, and I understand what you mean. Ghosts will devour other people of the same kind to increase their own strength. You are doubting Mei Mei became stronger because she ate other ghosts, right?"

Yan Jue coughed lightly: "Just ask, follow a procedure."

"It's not your fault, we understand your concerns." After Li Huaiqing finished speaking, she continued to translate: "Meimei said that she has always been by my side except when Xiao Zhang came, and she would tell me first even if she went out. She I've never seen anything like a ball of light, let alone devoured it."

"And she got a human form, and it was a few months ago?" Li Huaiqing showed a shocked expression while talking, and looked at Meimei, who smiled at him and motioned him to continue translating.

"Memei guesses that being able to touch the real object may have something to do with this."

After translating, Li Huaiqing pulled Meimei to talk nonsense. He was very surprised that his lover didn't even have a human form before. Could it be because he stayed in the world for too long?

The three of Yan Jue are also discussing in low voices here.

Wen Xuyang didn't interrupt just now, and now he still wants to do what Yan Jue wanted: "Do you already have an idea?"

Zhang Zizhen, who had the lowest position and the least knowledge, didn't dare to say a word. After blocking the three people's voices with a trick, it was up to the two big bosses to sit well.

Yan Jue whispered: "It is not difficult to understand that ghosts can absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, but she can unconsciously absorb spiritual energy when the spiritual energy has just recovered. This kind of talent is definitely first-class. We are not without ghosts With the cultivation method, she will be the No.1 ghost cultivator in the future."

Wen Xuyang asked: "Could it be related to that unborn aura?"

Meimei was an ordinary person before her death. Her family has counted all the registered people, and no one has ever engaged in occupations related to metaphysics.In this way, it is difficult to prevent Wen Xuyang from guessing Meimei's talent on that trace of aura.

They are all lucky enough to become soul fragments, so it is impossible to continue to be lucky now.

"I don't know." Yan Jue spread his hands: "Whether it's related to that or not, her current physique is true, as long as she hasn't done anything bad, she's worth our wooing."

Zhang Zizhen said weakly: "Brother Yan, you haven't forgotten what request Mr. Li had when he came in just now, have you?"

Wen Xuyang asked back: "Don't you know that there is no reincarnation in this world? When a ghost dies, it is really dead, dissipating in the world and feeding back in the world."

Zhang Zizhen was stunned: "No one told me that!"

Wen Xuyang was stunned for a rare moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Yan Jue, only to find that the other party lowered his head and picked his hands seriously, as if he hadn't heard their conversation at all.

"Brother Yan..."

"I don't need to keep too many secrets, so I forgot it for a while." Yan Jue remedied: "Come on, let me give you a popular science."

Quickly talking about the whereabouts of people after death, Yan Jue said: "Should we tell Mr. Li about this and let them choose? If Meimei really doesn't want to live anymore, maybe we should respect her willing?"

After listening to it too many times and saying it smoothly, he also called "Mei Mei" directly, which was like a nickname, and did not respectfully address the other party as "Ms. Mei".

"I agree." Zhang Zizhen expressed his opinion.

Although it is a pity to lose a ghost cultivator with excellent talent, cultivation is not something that can be made difficult.

Wen Xuyang nodded accordingly.

Withdrew their anger, and the three of them turned their gazes to the person and the ghost on the opposite side.

Yan Jue called the attention of the two of them back, and said seriously: "Old Li, we already understand your appeal, but before that, you may need to know a little bit of common sense about our world, whether supernatural or not."

He slowly repeated the knowledge he gave Zhang Zizhen just now, this time, he spoke very carefully and seriously, and clearly laid out the two roads that Li Huaiqing and Meimei would face in front of them.

At the end, he added: "Ms. Mei can absorb spiritual energy without using external force, which shows that her talent is very good. If she cultivates in the future, she will definitely achieve great achievements."

Yan Jue felt that he should speak out about it.

Li Huaiqing opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a sound for a long while.

He didn't expect, he never thought that there is no reincarnation in this world. After a person dies, unless he becomes a ghost, or he is really dead. From then on, the world has nothing to do with him, and there is no such thing as reincarnation.Under such circumstances, is he still willing to let his lover leave?

The answer is of course no.

But, but...

He covered his face.

"Ms. Mei is asking, what will happen if I don't practice?" Wen Xuyang suddenly said.

Meimei beckoned to him, and after attracting his attention, she tapped a regular pause on her palm. He saw what it was at a glance, and compared it secretly in the communication between Meimei and Li Huaiqing just now.

Li Huaiqing suddenly raised his head and looked at his lover.

Meimei smiled at him, tapped his arm: [It doesn't have to be cultivation, is it?You are in a hurry. ]

Yan Jue was not too optimistic: "I just said that Ms. Mei can absorb spiritual energy independently without the help of external force, which means that this is brought about by her talent or physique, and it will not follow her own wishes. And transfer. If you want to have the ability to control, unless you practice or ask others to help."

"What I can tell you is that no one in the world can do the latter at the moment."

Neither does the scorching wind.

Because they couldn't determine whether Meimei's physique was her own, or whether it was brought and transformed by that trace of unborn aura. If her physique was deprived, that trace of aura would naturally be deprived as well.If it was the latter, without the support of that aura, she would be disillusioned in a relatively short period of time, and Li Huaiqing would not be willing to see such a result.So he told them straight up, no one could do it.

Four years ago, Meimei was able to stay in the world because of a chance, to be by her lover's side. Four years later, this chance has also become a rope that binds her.

Others can't help her, if she cultivates by herself, when she cultivates to the point where she can control not to absorb spiritual energy, her lifespan will already be unknown.

"Even if Ms. Mei leaves her alone, the spiritual energy will continue to be absorbed by her, and she will only become stronger and stronger." The incomplete part of the soul and body will be completed in a short time.

Li Huaiqing was unable to make any response after listening.

He didn't want Meme to disappear, not at all.

But now he doesn't have many years to live, no matter how many years it is, he can't compare with Meimei.After he dies, do you want to leave Meimei alone in this world?

But he really didn't want to let Meimei's soul fly away.

He looked up at Yan Jue, his face full of expectation: "Xiao Yan, will I become a ghost after I die?"

Yan Jue pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't know."
