I didn't become a human today

The scholar's room was very bright, but after Ji Ran opened the door and entered, he found that the candles in the room were all extinguished, and the light came from the curtain on the scholar's bed.

"Is anyone there?" Ji Ran asked tentatively.

I didn't get any answer, but I heard a few strange screams from Xiucai lying on the bed.

There were many black shadows in the curtain, still dancing wildly, emitting dazzling light through the curtain.Ji Ran didn't dare to open the curtain easily, he didn't know what was inside, but hearing the voice of the scholar, he seemed to be in great pain.

He put down the candlestick in his hand, pulled out the candle on it, held the candlestick as a weapon, and tentatively opened a corner of the curtain.

In an instant, countless golden-glowing birds fluttered out along the gap.

Ji Ran squatted down, those birds were still rushing out in groups, and when he looked inside the curtain, there were still many shadows, could the birds fly away?

Ji Ran used the candlestick to hold the curtain, walked to the side, and finally got a clear view of everything inside.

Xiucai was lying face down on the field, and those golden phoenixes flew out from his back. They were in groups, and there was no end in sight, and they were still pouring out continuously.

Xiucai stretched out her two arms, her fingers twisted due to the great pain.

Amid the scholar's painful wailing, Ji Ran lowered the curtain in a panic.

He didn't know how to help him, maybe the scene he saw just now was too weird, and he began to suspect that this was a dream again, pinching his arm, the pain was so vivid, what's going on?

Ever since I arrived at this Jizhulou, no!It should be said that from the moment he returned to Lingnan, all kinds of strange things happened one after another, one after another, seemingly having nothing to do with him, but in the end, it was discovered that these strange things were all aimed at him here.

Also, who was it that manipulated Uncle Liang to attack him in Wanli Tea Garden earlier?This matter is still a mystery.

The situation on Xiucai's side is very serious. He can't help much by himself. The most urgent thing is to find other people to find a solution together.

Ji Ran closed the door of the scholar's room, took a deep breath, and walked to another door.

This is the little girl's room. Listening outside the door, there is no movement in it, and there is no strange light.

Ji Ran knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he could only push the door open, and everything in the room startled him again.

Every place is filled with all kinds of small boxes, big and small, with various materials, carvings, and patterns emerging in endlessly.

When Ji Ran entered the house, the boxes began to chatter endlessly.

Some are singing operas, some are humming, some boxes are male voices, some are female voices, and some are childish cries.

Among the piles of boxes, Ji Ran finally found the figure of the little girl.

She turned her back and sat on the ground, holding all kinds of boxes in her hands. She didn't look back at him, and talked to him directly, "Brother Ji Ran, do you know how deep the relationship between people and boxes is? In fact, heaven and earth are A big box, one layer nested, no one can escape from this big box."

She paused, and continued: "Look, people live in a house, and the house is a box. After death, people are put into a coffin, and the coffin is also a box. Those immortals who transcend life and death just escaped from the house. The small box, outside the small box, there are actually more boxes, they are nested layer upon layer, no one can escape from all the boxes. Only by obtaining the box of monsters can the secrets of all the boxes be unlocked... At that time, you can turn into the wind, into the rain, all according to your mind, this is the real detachment."

These remarks sound strange at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, they are not unreasonable, and there is a feeling of extreme fear upon careful consideration.

What's more, this knowledge doesn't sound like what a 12-year-old girl said.

Ji Ran kept backing away, the little girl turned her head slowly, and Ji Ran suddenly discovered that her face had turned into a box at some point, and the box opened automatically, and the inside was pitch black, and there was nothing there. No, but voices continued to come from it.

"Brother Ji Ran, do you know where the box of sprites is?"

This weird scene really frightened Ji Ran. He staggered out of the room. In the other room beside him, the light was on. The light could make people feel safe and instinctive. Ji Ran stood Step outside that door and bathe yourself in the light.

This room is where the hunchbacked girl lives.

Ji Ran put his back against the door, and sat down a little bit. From the room behind him, there were many clear voices, which seemed to be arguing. There were many people in the room, but most of their movements were stiff. There are all kinds of puppets in the house.

"No, I must be dreaming..." To escape, he must escape from here.

He thought of that mechanism again, and according to the route last time, Ji Ran quickly opened a window in the iron-walled machine building, and jumped down.

"Pfft..."

He tried to float up, and saw the huge fish again in a mist, but this time it was different from the last time, the fish was covered in pain and was rotting, and some bones could even be seen on the back.

The big fish rolled in pain in the water, Ji Ran watched it from a distance, but still didn't know how to help it.

His body kept falling, and the flesh and blood of the big fish mixed with the water, dyeing Luochuan bright red...

……

……

Ji Ran fell ill again. He talked nonsense all night, but he didn't wake up like yesterday. Liang Xingye and Fo Ya began to become anxious.

He turned into a human form, curled up on the bed covered in sweat, his body was hot, his lips were chapped, and his face was pale.

Liang Xingye still didn't know what the problem was. Why did Ji Ran get sick as soon as he arrived at Jizhulou?

On the third day, the other people came back with frustrated faces. Seeing their expressions, they hesitated to speak, but they never said a word, they just packed their bags and left quietly.

Foya went out to question him a few times, but he said that he failed the final test.

Inexplicably, there were only three of them left in the Jizhu building. Because Ji Ran was seriously ill, the owner of the Dihua building allowed them to stay here for a while to recuperate.

"Do you think this is a trap?" Foya asked.

Liang Xingye pursed his lips, still guarding Ji Ran's bedside, changed a handkerchief for him, and said in a low voice, "I also noticed it. From the moment Ji Ran stepped into Lingnan, he was being disturbed by various things." Involved in recalling the father in memory, coming out of the Wanli tea garden, and now knowing that Ji Ran's father is dead, this step by step is to force Ji Ran to the appearance of being extremely guilty."
