The three of them hurried on the night road again. After absorbing the Changsheng Wine Shop, the blood-red wedding dress of the ghost bride became brighter, so it was more conspicuous in this dark environment.

The old beggar walked in front. I don’t know if it was because of excitement, but his originally staggering steps became much healthier at this time. As he walked, he told Jiang Yan the story about the dry well.

"Young man, I will never cheat you. In our time, many powerful ghost controllers also relied on this method to survive the resurrection of evil ghosts. They finally lived for thirty or forty years, which was enough to see that this method was very effective." The old beggar said with a solemn tone.

"Oh? Do you mean that this method was often used in your time?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but be interested in the things of their time, and he didn't resist chatting with this old beggar at this time.

After all, in addition to obtaining more information, it can also be used to distinguish the truth from the old beggar's words.

"That's natural. You should know, young man, that human consciousness is extremely fragile and easily affected by the state of the body. Once the heart or the brain is damaged, the person will surely die."

"In the early stage of controlling evil spirits, the supernatural power affects the basic functions of the human body, thereby affecting consciousness. But at a certain level, the ghost controller can abandon the human body and become a complete alien, just like you..."

"Alien... How do you know that I have become an alien?" Jiang Yan frowned slightly. It stands to reason that he did not reveal his real situation, but this old beggar actually saw that he had become an alien.

The old beggar glanced back at the ghost bride and continued:

"Haha, what's the difficulty. The female ghost you control is known to everyone in our time. Since you control this evil spirit, it means that your consciousness is no longer controlled by human functions, and even your body is no longer a human body."

Jiang Yan remained silent after hearing this, because the old beggar was right. Now, except for his head, everything about him has become a product of the spirit.

His head was just a decoration at this time, and it was still rotting, and needed to be maintained by the repair ability of the ghost smoke. However, even if he was shot in the head, he could survive, because the survival of his consciousness was determined by the ghost bride, and the survival of his body was determined by other spirits.

"Young man, let's not talk about you, even the top ghost riders of our time could not escape the fate of becoming aliens. For them, changing bodies has long become a common thing. But their methods are very naive, because their consciousness cannot exist perfectly after leaving the body. Only like you, who control some spirits in the dream, can do it." The old beggar said, his tone became solemn.

Jiang Yan felt that all these things were nonsense, so he continued to ask:

"How clever is your method?"

After hearing this, the old beggar chuckled, with a bit of pride in his tone:

"My method is very clever. They need to use some means to transfer consciousness to other bodies, either some supernatural items or some curses, but these methods are not perfect."

"But my method is very simple. You only need to create a very similar body, and your consciousness can be naturally transferred to it. It's that simple."

After hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The old beggar talked a lot, but he didn't elaborate on the specific implementation methods.

At this time, the three finally came to the dry well.

Above the dry well, the lanterns hanging on the crooked tree were still glowing, and they were shaking automatically without wind, just like the lanterns in the ghost market.

Seeing this, the two couldn't help but look solemn.

"Hey, we're here so soon, hurry up, pour all the longevity wine in!" The old beggar trotted to the dry well and said excitedly.

Jiang Yan's face was gloomy when he saw this. He still couldn't see the flaws of this old man, but now he could only bite the bullet.

"Ghost bride, pour the wine."

As soon as the voice fell, sticky blood flowed from the ghost bride's wedding dress, gathered on the ground, and finally condensed into more than a dozen large wine jars.

A burst of blood-colored petals flew over, and one of the wine jars floated above the dry well. As the wine jar poured, the sticky black longevity wine slowly poured out and fell into the well.

"Hua La~"

With a muffled sound, a jar of wine was gone.

"Continue." Jiang Yan ordered.

The ghost bride did not delay, and continued to suspend a jar of wine, pouring the sticky wine into the well.

Then, one jar, two jars, three jars...

This bluestone well was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up all the wine.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help butHe felt a little nervous, worried that the wine would not be able to fill the well.

However, his worry was unnecessary. When there were only three jars of wine left, the dry well was finally filled up, and the well mouth turned into a layer of dark water, reflecting the blood-red shadow of the lantern above.

"Very good, very good, there are still three jars left, this is enough for me to drink for a long time." The old beggar said with a smile on his face.

Jiang Yan didn't care about it at all. He immediately asked:

"Now that the well is full, what should I do next?"

The old beggar laughed and explained:

"The next step is very simple, you go to the well and look at your reflection."

"Reflection?" Jiang Yan seemed to think of something, and his expression became solemn.

"Yes, reflection." The old beggar explained, "Drag the reflection out, and a clone of you will appear in the real world."

"That's it? Isn't it a bit too simple..." Jiang Yan has been very suspicious all the way, and now the method the old beggar told him is so simple that he feels a little unbelievable.

"Simple? Not at all!" The old beggar changed the subject and became serious, "If you are dragged in by the reflection and sink to the bottom of the well, you will really die, so don't be careless!"

"You mean, this well is also some kind of spiritual place that can trap consciousness?"

"You can understand it that way, but it's very different! If you accidentally fall into the well, the spiritual power you control in the real world will become ownerless. Whoever comes out of this well will be able to control your body!"

Jiang Yan was shocked after hearing this, and his expression suddenly became a little more serious...
