There are ghosts

Chapter 30 Portraits

Su Bai shuddered, turned and fled back to the room without any hesitation.

The eyes were dark and mixed with a little madness, his heart was tightly constricted and he couldn't breathe, why didn't he realize that this world was so terrifying before, he really wanted to go home... Su Bai's eyes were tearful.

But the good thing is that Ling Jianhua left early and returned late for several days in a row, as if busy with the plans and materials for this trip to Miaojiang, Su Bai lay on the bed and rolled around bored.

Hugging the pillow and thinking in my heart, um, should I go to help?It won't be like the last time I got a lot of people here...

this day.

"Actually, I'm not sure about this trip." Ling Jianhua called Su Bai and Jiu Yuan to the study to discuss matters.

Ling Jianhua was sitting on a black swivel chair, seeing them coming, she said straight to the point, "At the beginning I made a deal with King Miaojiang with Jiuli's body."

"What deal?" Jiu Yuan immediately asked back.

Ling Jianhua ignored Jiu Yuan and continued: "We'll talk about it later, now we're going to find King Miao Jiang to confirm one thing, and that is whether Jiu Li has been reincarnated."

Su Bai frowned: "What do you mean by reincarnation? Is there any direct connection between King Miaojiang and Jiuli's reincarnation?" Ling Jianhua nodded acquiescingly, turned the chair and picked up a few stacks of materials on the desk, with a serious expression: "But we now I don’t know anything about Miao Jiang’s affairs, and I don’t even know where the Miao Jiang King is, or where he was buried.”

"Is there anything else you don't know..."

Su Bai pursed his lips, and glanced at the documents casually, all of which were about the burial customs of Miaojiang and the geographical distribution map thousands of years ago.

Ling Jianhua suddenly smiled: "So Su Bai thinks I know everything..."

Then he handed over another piece of information, "I sorted it out and found it to be more feasible, but I can't confirm whether it's true, I can only look at it when the time comes, and it won't be useful if I can't find a general place .”

I actually want to go to the grave with them...

Although it's not for money, why does it feel like falling into a pit...

Su Bai took the documents with a complicated mood and read them carefully.

Thousands of years ago, Miaojiang was still an existence similar to a dynasty and was consistent with the outside world. However, after many migrations in history, it was distributed into countless tribes and villages. King Miaojiang was the title of the ruler at that time. .

The Miaojiang kings of all dynasties were born in a branch of the Miao nationality called Utuomu, so the name of each Miaojiang king is similar to Utuomu to show the family glory, but this kind of branch is almost invisible now, and it is said to be a hidden Family fall.

"Then what should we do?" Su Bai read halfway, raised his head and asked, "I know this kind of hermit family, they usually hide very secretively and are extremely exclusive, even if they find it, they may not necessarily get any clues, right?"

Jiuyuan suddenly said in a deep voice: "Although Utuomu is a branch of the Miao nationality, there are actually some small branches inside Utuomu, which are multiplied by the collateral or branch of the family."

correct!Su Bai's eyes lit up, as long as he found their collateral or branches, he might get some clues.

Ling Jianhua retracted the information, and the corner of her mouth curled up in a warm arc: "That's right, as long as you know where it is, it's fine for them to say it or not."

Su Bai lowered his head and glanced at Ling Jianhua, the Ling Jianhua who showed his true nature was much scarier than before...

Ling Jianhua knocked on the table with her knuckles: "We will start from their branch this time. It was Wu Tuoken, the sixth generation Miaojiang king who made a deal with me at that time. I checked the branch of Wu Tuomu. The nearest one is located in the Miao Village on the edge of HN Province, and it is a famous tourist attraction.”

"Huh, tourist attractions?"

Su Bai returned the rest of the materials to Ling Jianhua, and couldn't help but think about it. There are indeed many minority ethnic groups whose residences are open to the outside world. Firstly, it is convenient to integrate into modern life, and secondly, it is commercialized for profit. Of course, some old-fashioned and superstitious ethnic groups are excluded. , everyone including myself is very supportive of this kind of folk customs that let more people understand ethnic minorities.

"Yes." Ling Jianhua sorted out the materials, carefully put them into the drawer, and smiled at Su Bai, "So this time, let's treat it as the two of us going on a trip, so we can relax by the way."

Jiu Yuan's face turned dark suddenly, and he shot at Ling Jianhua with sharp eyes, and he held on to him with a smile on his face, what can you do with me, this kind of instant feeling that Su Bai couldn't stay any longer, so Reluctantly said: "Ling Jianhua...can you help me find a way to get Jiu Yuan out of my body?"

Ling Jianhua rubbed her chin, and looked at Jiu Yuan who was full of anger: "Yes, let me smoke him so that he can disappear?"

Jiu Yuan sneered twice: "You try."

"Is there really no other way?" Su Bai's tone was a little weak. Jiuyuan helped him a lot by his side, and he also hoped that Jiuyuan could live as a normal person instead of a wisp of dead soul attached to his body .

"Hehe." Ling Jianhua got up and poured a cup of tea and walked to Su Bai: "It is impossible to completely break away from my current ability." She took a sip and continued, "It is possible to appear in the form of a normal person temporarily. Maybe, it depends on whether someone is worthy of cooperation." After speaking, he glanced at Jiu Yuan.

"Jiuyuan..." Su Bai turned his gaze to Jiuyuan.

The other party was silent. Could it be that the invisible distance between him and him is the different paths between humans and ghosts?I saw that his eyes changed and finally returned to indifference, if it was what he wanted, then he would do it.

"……it is good."

"Why don't you consider ghost deeds? I heard that this is a spell specially learned by ghost exorcisers. It can keep the soul body around and dispatch it, and the materialized soul energy will be consumed less?" Ling Jianhua suggested with a smile.

"Impossible." Jiu Yuan denied it.

Su Bai also twitched the corners of his mouth and did not speak.

"Okay..." Ling Jianhua spread her hands and put down the teacup, walked towards the door with her long legs, turned slightly to look at Su Bai, "I can make a portrait for him, but you have to promise me one condition."

Eh?I?Su Bai pointed at himself, a little puzzled, why do you want me to agree?Shouldn't it be the portrait made by Jiu Yuan?So he looked at him vigilantly: "What conditions?"

"It's not an excessive condition. I just want a few drops of your blood. Don't worry. I'll wait for a few days. I have to find materials to make a portrait."

"it is good……"

Su Bai nodded, thinking that Ling Jianhua hadn't really done anything excessive to him before, so he hesitated for a while before he stepped out of the study door, and then stopped him, a little embarrassed, "That... thank you. "

Ling Jianhua paused for a while, and strode out with slightly mocking lips.

He doesn't do things in vain.

Such things as price have never been equal.

……

The next night, Su Bai and Jiu Yuan were called by Ling Jianhua to the living room downstairs.

Ling Jianhua has already prepared the formation with all the materials, holding the portrait in his hand and finally asked Jiu Yuan solemnly: "Once transformed into a human form, it will cut off the soul-body communication between you and Su Bai, and you will feel pain and fatigue, and you can move freely like a normal person." .In addition, I can only take out half of your soul. If you die, that half of your soul will die with you. Think about it clearly.”

"..." Su Bai frowned tightly, the spell of pinching a figure is similar to the puppet technique, fabricating a body and infusing the soul to drive it,

Only orthodox and difficult spells like Qingyuan Dao can be found.

In fact, the conditions are not very harsh, Jiuyuan is quite special, his individual death only disappears half of the soul, but the other half of the soul is in an unconscious state, that is, irrational...

Jiu Yuan quietly listened to Ling Jianhua's words, lowered his eyes, at least half of his soul was still in Su Bai's body, so he stared at the portrait in Ling Jianhua's hand and said coldly: "Let's start."

Ling Jianhua chuckled lightly and took off the necklace around her neck, wrapped it around her hands twice, then took the sword in her hand and placed the portrait in front of Jiu Yuan, making Su Bai close his eyes, no matter what feeling he felt he couldn't open them.

Su Bai obediently closed his eyes, sat cross-legged across from Jiuyuan, only heard a few incomprehensible whispers, like spells and singing, suddenly Su Bai felt something in his body was being torn and pulled out, and a stream of blood flowed from his forehead. There were beads of sweat, and then a burst of white light flashed, and the lingering light surrounded Jiuyuan and the portrait.

……

"Jiu Yuan...?"

After waiting for half a night, until the light gradually dissipated, the portrait in front of Jiu Yuan disappeared, replaced by a man with long hair sitting on the sofa, Su Bai looked at it for a long time before hesitantly asked: "Is it you?"

After seeing it clearly, the long-haired man looks exactly the same as the soul-shaped Jiu Yuan, exuding an aura of indifference, the black hair shone with a faint luster, and the three-dimensional and handsome facial features are as if carved by a knife. Hearing Su Bai's shout, Those scattered pupils slowly reacted, followed by a burst of joy, and he stretched out his arms to hug Su Bai.

"Hey... you!"

Su Bai was caught off guard by Jiu Yuan's embrace, and he huddled in his arms, the delicate and warm touch was completely different from when it materialized, and he felt a strange sense of satisfaction, "Okay, okay, it's okay. It was rare for Su Bai to stretch out his hand and gently hug him back, his silky hair scratched Su Bai's nose a little itchy.

"Tsk." Ling Jianhua stood aside with her arms folded, feeling a little uncomfortable seeing the two of them hugging each other, she used the silver sword in her hand to push them away, raised her eyebrows, "You forgot me so soon?"

"Uh...thank you..." Su Bai came to his senses at this moment and sat up in a hurry, smiling at Ling Jianhua.

Jiu Yuan turned cold and ignored him, Ling Jianhua was not angry, but turned to Su Bai and said softly, "What about my condition?"

"...No problem is no problem..."

Su Bai nodded, how many drops of blood do you want?But what does he want my blood for?You won't put a villain curse on me... Blood has many uses... Thinking of this, Su Bai's face is a little grim.

While going to fetch the container, Ling Jianhua glanced at Su Bai's uneasy expression, and said with a smile, "You won't go back on your word, will you? I'm just using it for experiments, don't worry."

"F-experiment...?"

It makes me feel even more uneasy, okay...

In the end, Su Bai reluctantly gave Ling Jianhua a few drops of fingertip blood. Ling Jianhua quickly turned around and left with the blood. Seeing this, Jiuyuan put Su Bai's finger into his mouth. The wet and soft feeling...

Su Bai couldn't help trembling, it's not a little girl who needs to treat the wound like this, I'm really... so sorry! !

With a blushing face, she jumped up and pushed Jiu Yuan away. At this moment, Ling Jianhua came back and wiped her hands slowly with a handkerchief. The two of them sat and stood when they heard the movement and turned their heads to look at him at the same time. Their footsteps stopped, as if Two pets alike...

A strange feeling arose spontaneously, Ling Jianhua glanced at Jiu Yuan coldly, she hadn't felt this kind of peace for a long time.

"Your room can be chosen randomly on the first floor. You will be leaving soon anyway, and you need to familiarize yourself with your body so you don't waste too much time." Ling Jianhua took a book from the shelf, sat down and opened two pages, disgusted opening.

Jiu Yuan's complexion turned black instantly, who caused him to be like this?

So he raised his chin coldly and arrogantly: "I want to be with Su Bai."

Su Bai's face turned bright immediately and he roared angrily, "No way!"

The author has something to say: Jiuyuan, who has become a human, seems to be getting more and more arrogant and hooligan...
