Laws of Spirit Recycling

"Xiaoyan, is it true that as long as I'm here, you won't receive new missions?" Cai Xiaonan wore a Polaroid around his neck, and the camera shook slightly as he strode forward. Humans see this camera suspended in the air.

"Well, according to the rules of the underworld, that's right."

"The task has not been completed, will you have any punishment? For example, demotion or something?"

"That's not true." Yu Yan pulled the scarf around his neck tightly, and said with a smile: "Besides, I'm the lowest position, and it's not feasible to be degraded."

"That's it, then I can continue playing with a clear conscience!" Cai Xiaonan picked up the Polaroid and watched it. This habit has been formed since he picked up the camera.

Yu Yan has gotten used to his playful personality, "It's been almost three years, and you still haven't changed at all. It seems that your wish in life was really to travel around the world."

"You didn't believe it until now." Cai Xiaonan cried out in a fuss.

"I'm just curious, why have you been refusing to see your parents?" In the past three years, Cai Xiaonan has never once proposed to go home, and he has never even taken the initiative to mention his family.

"What is there to see, they will live better without me, and I don't need to worry about it." Cai Xiaonan thought for a while, "It's been three years, I'm the longest time you have seen Undead?"

"No, there are others who have lived longer than you, but they are all kept in the world for their families, which is different from you."

Cai Xiaonan seemed to be a patient who cared about how much time he had left, and asked, "How long is the longest time?"

"30 years... It's about this time." Yu Yan stopped, looked at the night sky and thought for a while, "No, the longest is more than 1000 years!"

Cai Xiaonan joked: "Over 1000 years, isn't that an old monster?"

"You can't say that. The human being who has been around for more than 1000 years is Uncle Ren. I mentioned it a few times before."

"Oh, it's that Uncle Ren who lives next to the old temple! But I've never seen him before." Thinking that every time Yu Yan and Fu Jianchi went to see this person, they would let themselves wait by the river, Cai Xiaonan felt a little nervous Dissatisfaction: "Mystery, isn't it just a lonely ghost like me?"

"Uncle Ren is different. He was the descendant of Tianshi Song, the exorcist dragon clan. He has profound magic power. Even if he has no physical body and becomes an undead, he can still continue to practice." You came to see him with us because he has a weird temper... I'm afraid that if he is unhappy, it will implicate you. "

It doesn't matter if it's other undead, but with Cai Xiaonan's unprofessional character, he is not sure what he will say in front of Uncle Ren, and he doesn't know how he will deal with Uncle Ren who is also elusive.So avoiding their meeting is the safest way, and this is also Mr. Fu's idea.

"Are you afraid that he will take me in? Hahaha." Cai Xiaonan stepped on the dead leaves, heard the dry and cracking sound, and said confidently: "Don't worry, in this kind of place that can subdue demons In front of people, I will be careful, I am a pity for my life now, I don’t want to disappear so soon, and you and Mr. Fu are not there to protect me?"

Yu Yan also imitated him to step on a ground of dead leaves, and said with a smile: "I don't have spiritual power, but Mr. Fu can protect you."

When Cai Xiaonan heard what he said, he quickly turned his head to confirm: "Boss Fu, will you really protect me?"

What he got was a cold glance, and Cai Xiaonan, who had long been used to it, was fearless, and continued to smile flatteringly, pointing to Yu Yan's winter coat of light down and scarf and gloves, and said enviously: "If you don't protect it, don't protect it, at least Can you give me a set of winter clothes of the same style? I also want to wear new clothes, although no one can see me, but you can! "

Yu Yan also spoke for him: "Mr. Fu, just promise him, and by the way, you can change yourself."

Fu Jianchi stretched out his hand, and waved it slowly in front of Cai Xiaonan. The same white jacket and brown scarf as Yu Yan's were immediately put on the boy, and the camera that he was reluctant to put down was still hanging on his chest.Cai Xiaonan raised his hand to look around, excited, "Finally something different."

At this time, Fu Jianchi also changed into black winter clothes, and the three of them walked in the desolate winter scenery without violating harmony.

The broken hair in front of his forehead was blown by the cold wind, and the gloomy sky was suppressed by thick clouds. Yu Yan, who was walking in the middle, was very familiar with the environment in front of him. He looked up, his expression was calm, and his tone was faintly expectant: "It's about to fall." It's snowing."

"Let's go to the suburbs quickly, so that when it snows, we can see the first snow scene." Cai Xiaonan quickened his pace.

"Yeah." Yu Yan's heart was full of anticipation, and his eyes fell on the camera hanging around Cai Xiaonan's neck, his eyes lit up, "We can still take pictures of snow scenes this time."

"Okay, then we have to find an angle."

When I came to a dam, the left side was the Microwave Blue Lake, and the right side was a large sloping grassland. It was deep winter, and the withered grass was dark yellow. At a glance, one could feel the dullness of losing vitality.They took a leisurely pace here, waiting for the heavy snow to come.

"Xiao Yan, tell me what the underworld is like." At this time, Cai Xiaonan would often chat on a whim.

"Underworld?" Yu Yan didn't understand why he would ask this, and said truthfully: "I don't know either, every time the yin and yang car will only take me to the designated place. Resolve, I can't get out of the car, I can only wait for Mr. Fu in the car."

"So you don't even know you've been an envoy of the underworld for so long." Cai Xiaonan glanced at Fu Jianchi, as if he wasn't going to ask this insider, and continued to ask Yu Yan: "Did Boss Fu tell you what the underworld is like?"

"Mr. Fu said that the Underworld has the Nether River, the Naihe Bridge, and the Underworld where the Master of the Underworld lives...there is nothing else, and there is nothing special about it. Why did you suddenly become interested in the Underworld?"

"Isn't it because you don't allow me to go far? I've been playing for almost three years, and I've been in this area back and forth. I still want to go abroad..." Cai Xiaonan complained in a low voice with a volume that Yu Yan could only hear .

"Going abroad is impossible."

"I know, who told you to only be in charge of these few cities, big and small, and you're almost done playing. I thought you could take me to the underworld to see, but now it seems that's not possible."

"Actually, there are still many places we haven't been to. For example, here, let's take pictures of this lake when it snows later? This angle is good." Yu Yan leaned to the side, looking at the center of the lake expectantly.

"Okay, but this camera probably doesn't have much film left, we'll take it easy later."

The sky is gradually gloomy, and the twilight of deep winter has the potential of storm.The menacing cold approaching, like the moment before the flickering candle goes out, soundless, but concealing a kind of aggression, until the darkness penetrates the jagged edge of the cloud, and the remaining color in the sky disappears like a cigarette rising from a wick up.

They were looking forward to the overwhelming snow in the dark night that they rushed to.The wind stopped, and the street lamps by the embankment turned on, and the warm light shone on Yu Yan's smiling face. He hadn't seen Baixue yet, and the soft light in front of him was the only color, adding a little decoration to the monotonous waiting .

However, Yu Yan has always been very patient, especially when dealing with the things he loves. Even in the extreme darkness, he can still stare at the front without moving, for fear that if he lowers his head and blinks, he will miss the moment of surprise.From day to night, or from last year to today, he is quietly watching the changes of the seasons throughout the year, like a child staring out the window begging for Christmas gifts. He looks forward to the arrival of winter more than anyone else.

Because of the snow, whether it is flying all over the sky or falling slowly, no matter what kind of style it is, Yu Yan only hopes that the snowfall this time will not be the perfunctory sprinkling of snow like last year.It is best not to be absent day and night, just like the snow you see on the way to the underworld in a yin and yang car, the momentum is huge, and everything you see is white, that is the most perfect...

Recalling the snow scene in his memory, a sense of nostalgia suddenly surged, and Yu Yan felt a little lost.

"There are cats here!"

When Yu Yan's thoughts were wandering, Cai Xiaonan suddenly made a sound, turned his head, and saw the playful boy squatting down and sizing up the unexpected visitor. "Where did it come from?"

Looking at the starting point of the embankment, it seems that it is a mountain villa where people can play, board and lodging. "It should be from there."

"I'm so lucky. I was just about to say that it's too boring to wait, so this little guy came to the door by himself." This is a snow-white cat with blue pupils shining like jewels, which is especially eye-catching at night. Cai Xiaonan Wanting to hug it, I stretched out my hand and realized that I couldn't touch these living beings.

Yu Yan also squatted down, "It's so cold, why did it run out?"

"Maybe it was abused by the owner, come out to let the wind out?" Cai Xiaonan deliberately stretched his fingers to the tip of the cat's nose, saw it sniffing, then scratched impatiently with its claws, and laughed, "Haha, I can't catch it." Come on..."

Yu Yan folded his hands on his knees and said with a smile, "You are so naive."

"I didn't learn from you. If I could touch it, I would have hugged and played with it a long time ago, hey, that's right!" Cai Xiaonan took off the camera from his neck and handed it to Yu Yan: "Help me take pictures with the little white cat. one."

"It seems that only cats can make you ask to be photographed."

"Because it looks better than those stray cats before, hurry up and take pictures, otherwise it will run away."

"Okay." Yu Yan got up, stepped back a few steps to find a suitable angle.

"What pose should I pose? This one? Not good, then this one..." Cai Xiaonan squatted and stood for a while, and changed several poses. Fortunately, the cat stopped where it was, raised its head and itched, and didn't understand that it was necessary to take a photo with it teenager.

"Forget it, that's it." Before Yu Yan could urge, Cai Xiaonan became impatient. He squatted halfway, with one hand covering the cat's head, as if he was stroking, "Eggplant~!"

As the last syllable landed, the photo popped out of the camera. Yu Yan shook it, smiled and handed it to Cai Xiaonan who came over, "Look at how it went? If it's not good, I'll take another shot." open."

"Huh, without me?" Cai Xiaonan stared for a while, then stretched out his hand to look under the streetlight.

Yu Yan leaned forward, in the photo there was only the lazy figure of the white cat and the blurred background, and there was no outline of the boy at all.

Cai Xiaonan stared wide-eyed, and said to himself: "Really not, it seems that the undead will not appear in the photos if they are scared."

This is a natural law that I knew early on. I was in the excitement and joy just now, and I completely forgot to remind the other party, which led to the cruel truth after the behavior.Yu Yan wanted to speak to appease Cai Xiaonan's disappointment, but the other party spoke first.

"It's a pity that I have been posing for so long, but this is different from the TV. Isn't it said that the camera in the middle of the night can capture ghosts? Could it be that my camera is not good enough?" Looking for a problem, at this time, the cat seemed to run back because no one was paying attention, "Hey! Don't run!"

Cai Xiaonan shouted, threw away the solo photo of the cat, took the camera and went to chase the animals.

"I haven't played enough! Where are you going to—"

"Xiao Nan." Yu Yan took a few steps forward, trying to keep up with him.

"It's snowing." Fu Jianchi's few words made him stand still in place.

Yu Yan raised his head, and the light snowflakes were falling from the silver-blue sky.

The villa was surrounded by a fence, and the white cat's dexterous body jumped through the gap. Cai Xiaonan stopped outside, and after measuring, he found that he couldn't get in, so he used his hands and feet to climb over the fence and jumped from a high place.

"Being a ghost is indeed more convenient than being a human!" Cai Xiaonan, who landed easily, clapped his hands triumphantly.

Scanning for a week, there is nothing special except for a few European-style buildings not far away. The chasing cat has long since disappeared, surrounded by tree shadows, perhaps hiding under a dead leaf.

The snow fell gently like feathers, adding a mysterious and bizarre color to the quiet manor. Cai Xiaonan watched it in situ for a few minutes, and then he patted his head before thinking about the current season. In such a snowy day, animals should escape the cold and run to warm places went.

The only warm habitat here is naturally the houses with a few lights on in front of them.Cai Xiaonan made up his mind to go that way, while searching left and right in the grass, he still yelled "Meow~"

"Meow—come out, I'll catch fish for you to eat." Constantly muttering about all kinds of temptations, Cai Xiaonan was pleasantly surprised to find that the white cat he was looking for was hiding under a stone statue with something in its mouth. The paint is so indistinguishable that if it weren't for the snow-white hair all over its body, this hidden hiding place would not have been discovered.

"Little guy, I finally found you!" Cai Xiaonan reached out to grab the cat's tail, but it was useless. The little guy hiding inside looked arrogant, "I don't believe there is no way to let you out."

The more this happened, the more he aroused his child's heart. Cai Xiaonan had an idea, took off the camera around his neck, and wrapped the cat's squatting body with a ring rope. Cry, emerge from hiding.

"Hmph, let's see where you are still running." Cai Xiaonan chuckled, squatted down and looked at the white cat that was irritably grabbing the rope, as if admiring his own spoils, and continued to play around with the rope, feeling that the little guy was really hairy Only then did they take out the dry and smelly fish carcasses from the cave just now to feed them.

"Come on, let's eat. After eating these, I will take you to continue searching. There must be a lot of fish in that room."

Cai Xiaonan, who completely forgot about his friends, put his chin on his hands and watched the animals eat. When he was in a trance, he heard a sound, like the wind whizzing by his ears. He stood up and looked around, and there was nothing unusual.

When I turned around, I saw a woman in red in surprise, "Ahh—a ghost!"

The woman had disheveled hair and was wearing a red dress that didn't fit the season. She didn't look like a normal person. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Cai Xiaonan's throat, and angrily issued a warning through her teeth: "Shut up."

"I have no grievances with you, why do you pinch me?" Finally, I remembered that I am a ghost now, and ordinary injuries can't kill me, so what are you afraid of?No, ordinary people can't touch themselves!Could it be...

Realizing that something was wrong, Cai Xiaonan widened his eyes. He tried his best to suppress the panic that kept rising in his heart, and showed a terribly unlucky look with a mournful face.Afterwards, he continued to struggle, but the woman in front of her was so many times stronger than ordinary people, she couldn't break free no matter what.

When Cai Xiaonan was praying for Yu Yan and Fu Jianchi to come quickly, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, showing his calmness and composure.Cai Xiaonan was angry and impatient, and choked out a few words from his throat: "Xiaoyan, hurry up and save me!"

"Unfortunately, the person who came is not the person you said, and I will not save you."

The unfamiliar and cold bass made Cai Xiaonan's heart tremble, and he felt even more hopeless to escape.The hand on the neck was loosened, and the woman pulled him to block him, as if she was going to use the boy as a shield.

"Hey, what's going on here? Can't you just talk properly? I'm just passing by here! I have no grievances or worries with you..."

"So?" The man's eyes were cold, but he had a faint smile, and the corner of his mouth was slightly turned up, with a mockery of watching a good show.

Knowing that the situation was not good, Cai Xiaonan immediately begged for mercy: "So let me go, I promise I won't step in here again! You two have complaints and revenge, don't implicate innocent people, I'm just a lonely ghost, Apart from traveling in mountains and rivers, it is traveling in mountains and rivers, big brother and big sister, can you let me go?"

The woman hiding behind said in shock: "So you're not human either?"

Cai Xiaonan said angrily: "You are not human! I mean I have become a ghost now, even if I am a ghost, you can't bully me."

The woman had no intention of bickering with him, and turned her eyes to the man in front of her in a panic. The man was also looking at him, her gaze seemed to be sizing up the prey of a trapped beast, full of chills, "Do you think you can still escape?"

"What kind of master, you are a wicked person who doesn't distinguish between black and white and only has money in his eyes! Even if you beat me out of my wits, I will curse you people to die."

"It's a pity that even the King of Hades can't hear your curse now." The man sneered, raised his left hand, and the silver ring on the index finger and middle finger glowed with a dazzling cold light close to Bai Xue. He looked at Cai Xiaonan, and his smile deepened: "However, Thank you for helping me find another sacrificial offering."

Luoxue's speed suddenly accelerated, covering Cai Xiaonan's body like a sudden crisis.The oppression that was enough to make people feel suffocating hit him, this was the first time he felt such real pain after becoming a ghost, the sharp pain was like biting cold.

The last scene before the darkness came, was the shaking silver and white rings, and the blood-like scarlet threads, coming from all over the world.

"I haven't seen such heavy snow for a long time." Yu Yan stretched out his hand and let the snow fall on his palm, like the withered petals of the clouds in the sky, falling lightly and slowly.

Fu Jianchi tilted his head slightly and asked, "Do you remember when was the last time?"

"Remember, I saw it on the Yin-Yang car last time. Only there can I see this level of snow." Yu Yan recalled the scenery he saw on the way to the underworld every time, and couldn't help but yearn for it. The snow in front of him Seeming to feel his ardor, he rustled, "It's getting bigger and bigger, Mr. Fu, maybe we can build a snowman tonight."

"En." The young man responded.

"Although I could see snow on the Yinyang car before, I couldn't get out of the car to play. I always looked through the car window. Now I can finally stand in the real snow scene. I must seize this opportunity and have fun." said It was only after he finished that he realized something was wrong, he was on a mission now, how could he neglect his duties in front of his boss.

Glancing at Fu Jianchi, the man's face was stern in the heavy snow, Yu Yan lost the momentum just now, soliciting: "Mr. Fu, can you?"

"Yes." Fu Jianchi looked at him: "You have been playing for almost three years, not much now."

"...That's because Xiaonan's wish is to travel around the world, and I can't find anything else besides this." Yu Yan explained in a low voice, and added obediently: "Maybe when he gets tired of playing, he will naturally let go of being a human being." Before that, I will work hard."

Fu Jianchi narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to work hard or have fun?"

Yu Yan didn't know how to answer.

Fu Jianchi suddenly stretched out his hand and brushed off the white snow covering his scarf, "It seems that there will be a snowman soon."

Yu Yan blinked and laughed: "I want to build a snowman that looks like Mr. Fu."

The two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. Yu Yan was very interested, and pointed to the low wall of the embankment, "It's piled on top of this, three snowmen, with each other as companions, you can still see the lake view when there is no snow."

"good."

Yu Yan said with a satisfied face: "I don't know if Xiao Nan has a better idea? Hey, he disappeared... It seems that he didn't come back after chasing the cat just now."

Looking at the direction Cai Xiaonan was leaving from afar, the villa looked extremely quiet in the night snow scene, Yu Yan frowned, "Mr. Fu, let's go to him."
