    Bao Le couldn't quite understand, she clearly showed Shen Wangyan the bracelet that Meiduo gave her, but why did someone completely irrelevant to Meiduo appear.This female ghost appeared very briefly before, not enough for people to see the whole picture clearly.On the contrary, she was just standing here at this moment, and Bao Le looked her up and down - she was fifteen or sixteen years old, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, a girl's round face, clear eyes, and a sweet smile.The white dress on her was a popular style in the 1920s and 1930s, and it wasn't cheap, but it didn't fit very well.

    This information alone is enough for Bao Le, who has a rich imagination, to make up a big show in his head.

    Jiang Ning next door to her is different from her. Bao Le observes from the perspective of "human", while she is better at cutting in from the perspective of "ghost".

    The female ghost is a hundred years old and has a strong aura, but she doesn't have the slightest resentment on her body, which means that at least she accepted her own fate before she died.It is a very miraculous thing to have such a strong soul power without relying on resentment.

    It is the way of heaven that people die and reincarnate in the yin and yang way, and there is usually a price to be paid for violating the way of heaven.For a soul that stays in the world for a long time, its soul consciousness will gradually become cloudy. If you can't find a way to fill yourself with soul power, it will slowly dissipate.Generally speaking, souls who don't want to enter the yin and yang way have one or two obsessions.Too much obsession will turn into resentment.A soul with resentment will inhale other souls to refill itself with soul power.If this path continues, it will become a wraith.

    But this girl is different, she can stay in the world, not by actively absorbing the power of other souls.If had to say one reason, it might be that this huge soul bottle provided her with a steady stream of energy.As long as she is still in this soul refining field, she will not be able to dissipate.

    However, such a large underground soul refining field could never be arranged by such a little girl.

    Someone else is raising her.

    Shen Wangyan said: "You should know that you are here at my summons, and you must not lie about the questions I ask, but I allow you not to answer questions you don't want to answer."

    Xiao Jin nodded and smiled slightly.

    The young master of the Shen family was taken aback for a moment. When she laughed, her pure and sincere feeling was exactly the same as that of Bao Le.Probably for this reason, at first he was unable to feel hostility towards her anyway.

    "How much do you know about what happened here?"

    Xiao Jin sighed, "All of them."

    This answer shocked all three present.

    Xiao Jin said: "I've been here for a hundred years, maybe there was chaos at the beginning, but a hundred years is enough to figure out a lot of things."

    Jiang Ning sneered: "You can't leave this soul refining field, how do you know what's going on outside?"

    "What do you think is the relationship between me and the person who imprisoned me here?" Xiao Jin turned to ask her, with a kind smile on her face, but her tone was very cold, "I hope you understand that you didn't summon me outYes, I have been waiting for you from the beginning."

    Although she is somewhat similar to Baole, her personality is completely different.Bao Le is a soft girl, but the one in front of her seems to be shrewder and sharper.It's not incomprehensible, after all, although she looks only sixteen years old, she is a century old ghost.

    Xiao Jin withdrew her gaze from Jiang Ning, and looked at Bao Le who was stunned.Jiang Ning could tell that the female ghost had taken a fancy to their little Baole.

    "I can't leave this place by myself, so I am attached to this bracelet of Meiduo and come to you. But I really like you, and I really want to give you such a gift. If I am still alive, maybe we canBe great friends."

    Hearing these words, Bao Le didn't feel much turmoil in his heart.

    She said: "If you like me, how can you lead us into such a dangerous place? We have lost so many people along the way, you don't think I will believe that you want to be friends with me. With your useCompared to this, I really like it..."

    Bao Le laughed softly: "It's worthless."

    Jiang Ning almost wanted to applaud her words.

    Xiao Jin was not annoyed when she heard her say that. She rolled her eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's impossible for the people walking with the Shen family to be ordinary people."

    Hearing her talk about the Shen family, Shen Wangyan coughed before regaining control of the conversation: "Do you know the Shen family?"

    "The Shen family of Jin Ling, one of the Eight Remaining Clans of Ancient Times."

    Xiao Jin said: "We didn't know your identity at first, but your blood... just like him, can drive away all things and open the way of heaven. The baby he has raised for so many years, if it touches your blood, it will be like boiled."It’s like being familiar. This is the principle that evil things should not get close to the Son of Heaven, and if you are not from the Shen family, the murals on the lower floor are just ordinary murals. He can prevent most people in the world from disturbing, but he cannot prevent the sameThe son of heaven, that’s why he set up traps on the second floor. As he expected, you are confused by the illusion in front of you. Once you open those murals, the giant corpse in the center will wake up.”

    Shen Wangyan clenched his fists, his face gradually paled, and he laughed at himself after a long time: "It seems that Jun Zhi is right, I am eager for quick success."

    "He is the only one left in Ai Sang's clan today," Xiao Jin shook his head, "You are different from him, you are young and promising, full of vitality, you have relatives, friends, and loyal subordinates, the way of heavenHe has treated you well. There are many things, and you can still have room for change, but he no longer has it."

    Shen Wangyan frowned: "Who exactly is he you're talking about?"

    "That one is..." Xiao Jin lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and when she raised her eyes, she was innocent again, "Mr. Shen Yuesheng, haven't I told you that they fought against each other a hundred years ago."

    Jiang Ning listened to her words and narrowed her eyes.

    Good guy, Shen Yuesheng is an old thief. After he came back, he didn't know what to ask, and then betrayed the family within two years without saying a word. It seems that it is necessary to get in touch with each other.Jiang Ning and Shen Wangyan looked at each other and quickly reached a certain consensus.

    "If he is really the last descendant of Ai Sang, he is probably too old now. The old people have to live the life of the old people, drink tea and play chess. It's okay to deal with this. It's better to find a girl to talk to when you are young.If you fall in love, maybe you can leave a queen for the family." Jiang Ning sneered.

    Xiao Jin said in a strange way: "It's true that you are old, but how can you compare to the one in your family? It's been almost a thousand years now, and he is still a young pretty boy. He is agile and even his best...Masterpieces are out of the question?"

    It's good that she didn't mention Jun Zhi, but when she mentioned Jun Zhi, it was the scene that poked Young Master Shen's sore foot.

    Shen Wangyan replied with a smirk: "Aren't you afraid that you want to say that a hundred years ago, you Aisang people also came to our family to continue their lives and explore the method of longevity?"

    As soon as he said this, Xiao Jin's eyes flashed sharply.

    Bao Le realized later, they were chatting, and the chat broke down?Isn't it just a few words of yin and yang to each other?She didn't say anything crucial, and she was still confused. It seems that speaking is indeed a great art.

    After a long silence, the female ghost named Xiao Jin sighed. This sigh seemed to mean that she gave in.Sure enough, Shen Wangyan and Jiang Ning played two against one, and no one in this world could beat them.

    "He... deviated from the way of heaven. Don't you ever have the idea that the way of heaven is unfair? The more you gain, the more you have to lose. You can't choose what you get, even if you don't want it. For those who don't want toIf you want, sacrifice what you don't want to sacrifice. This is probably the 'gift' from the Dao of Heaven to the ancient survivors."

    As soon as she said this, Shen Wangyan felt a feeling of sympathy, but he didn't show it.

    Xiao Jin continued: "He found a way to obtain a brand-new ability based on the gift from heaven, which made him survive...eternal life."

    Shen Wangyan thought carefully: "This can't be called living. If I'm right, it should be a kind of 'seizing the house' technique. It's not like no one guessed it back then. The Esang family doesn't belong to the Yin and Yang Dao.Because I found such a method, it will stay in the world forever.”

    "Indeed, there is no need to hide it from you, after all, you are the Jin Ling Shen family who can communicate with yin and yang."

    "But logically speaking, the technique of seizing the house rarely stays in the same place for more than 20 years. He has been here for a hundred years. If there is no new, fresh body to seize the house, he should be very weakThat's right."

    "Aren't you?" Xiao Jin blinked, "If you are not from the Shen family, you are already from the Aisan family."

    Bao Le savored this sentence carefully, and suddenly felt that it was very artistic.

    Shen Wangyan seemed to have heard a funny joke: "He can try it."

    "As you said, he is already very weak, so how could he seek his own death."

    "Why doesn't he leave here? Like before, it won't be difficult for him to change places and change bodies before the next twenty years come."

    Xiao Jin's eyes softened, and a wry smile slowly formed on the corner of her mouth.

    "Because I can't," she said.

    Shen Wangyan asked, "What do you mean?"

    Xiao Jin pursed her lips, but did not answer the question.

    Only then did Young Master Shen realize that she is the soul he summoned, and she has the right not to answer his question.At this time, this kind of unlucky setting is going to kill, obviously everything is close to the goal, but no one is going to kick it.

    "Let's make a deal," Xiao Jin said, "I can tell you all his secrets, and I can even tell you where the door to this secret room is."

    "But you have to promise me one condition," she added.

    Shen Wangyan sneered: "You may not know me. As a person, I hate making deals with enemies."

    "You have no choice."

    Xiao Jin's eyes fell in the distance, and Bao Le looked in the direction of her gaze - she was actually looking at Shen San and Shen Qi?

    ...

    Shen Qi spat out blood, the color of that mouthful of blood was very dark, with a touch of black in the dark red, generally speaking, blood of this color meant that he had been poisoned, and it might be a deadly poison.After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Shen Qi fell into a coma.

    Shen San called his name a few times, and Shen Qi hummed a little painfully, but he couldn't open his eyes.

    Shen Wangyan returned to them and stopped Shen San before he could speak.While measuring Shen Qi's pulse, he raised his hand to read the watch.The pulse was beating too slowly and very irregularly.After checking Shen Qi's eyelids, and then lifted his sleeves, Young Master Shen found that there were several deep black veins on Shen Qi's hands, extending all the way to the inside of the arm and sinking into the end of the sleeve.None of these phenomena indicated that he was poisoned, and the poison might have penetrated into his heart and lungs.Because of the injury, coupled with the strenuous exercise of climbing trees afterwards, the speed of the spread of this poison was stimulated.

    Xiao Jin floated over and watched coldly: "The air in this place is full of poison. The longer you stay, the more dangerous it will be. If we don't cooperate, you may not be able to find the door when your subordinates are dead."

    Shen Wangyan clenched his fists and gave her a sullen look.

    Bao Le was frightened by such Shen Wangyan, his eye circles were reddish, and his whole body was enveloped by a strong hostility.

    Shen San said to Shen Wangyan: "Master, we are fine, don't listen to her."

    It's good that he didn't speak, but once he said this, it really irritated the young master of the Shen family, his eyes changed, and he lifted up Shen San's sleeves, sure enough, he was also poisoned.It's just that Shen San's condition is better than Shen Qi's, the black vein only spread to the fossa of the elbow.

    "Why didn't you say it?" Shen Wangyan opened his mouth, his voice trembling.

    They must have noticed that after leaving the first secret room, the poison gas did not dissipate, so Jun Zhi didn't let him take off the gas mask at that time.For such a long time, they just endured in silence, and then said nothing.

    Shen San smiled: "We are in good health, the young master and Xiao Jiang need gas masks even more."

    Hearing what he said, Shen Wangyan felt sour in his heart, and was about to take off the mask for them when Shen Qi held down his hand.

    At some point, Shen Qi woke up.

    "Master."

    Shen Qi called Shen Wangyan, he was very weak, so naturally he couldn't speak loudly.In order to hear his words clearly, Shen Wangyan bent down and brought his ear to his mouth.At that time, Shen Qi grabbed Shen Wangyan's wrist the whole time. To him, his young master was a kind of belief that supported him.

    "Before, the booklet of cultural relics in the antechamber of the princess's tomb that the young master asked to sort out fell below..."

    Shen Wangyan was taken aback, and interrupted him: "These are not important, Shen Qi, listen to me, don't let me relax, I will definitely take you back."

    "In the front room, there are thirty-two gold wares... silver wares, fifty-eight silver wares... one hundred and zero... six pieces of bronze wares... agate... emerald... emerald... and jade wares...…and bronze wine vessels…”

    Shen Qi vomited blood again, and vomited it into the clean young master Shen's hands.

    Shen Wangyan's eyes were red, as if he was about to hold back something, he blinked desperately, Bao Le saw that there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

    It was very difficult for Shen Qi to speak, but he still counted down for Shen Wangyan one by one the things he recorded in the lost booklet.He spoke slowly, but this time Shen Wangyan didn't interrupt him.Young Master Shen should have realized something, the reason why Shen Qi was so persistent in reporting these... these unimportant things at this time.

    For the first time, Shen Wangyan felt that he was not worthy of their trust in risking his life.

    "Master... Shen Qi told you these things, it's not a waste of time... From now on, I won't be able to accompany the young master anymore, forgive Shen Qi for taking a step first..."

    Shen Qi finally let go of Shen Wangyan's hand.

    Shen Wangyan took him from Shen San's arms, and hugged him tremblingly.Later, Shen Qi in his arms never opened his eyes again.Bao Le didn't know what to say to comfort him, the adult's breakdown was only a moment, she almost bit her lips to bleed when she looked at him.Young Master Shen, who was always elegant and gentle, closed his eyes hastily and embarrassingly. When he opened them again, he looked at the empty sky, and two lines of tears that he couldn't hold back finally fell uncontrollably.

    Yet they have no time for sentimentality.

    Because of the poisoning, Shen San also went from bad to worse.

    Shen Wangyan put down Shen Qi, took off the gas mask, and handed it to Shen San.Shen San definitely wouldn't pick it up, so his vigorous young master forcibly put the gas mask on his head.

    "Master..." Shen San was a little worried.

    Shen Wangyan waved his hand, signaling for him not to say much.

    Then he turned to look at Xiao Jin who had been watching the play for a long time, and said coldly: "I will cooperate with you."

    Xiao Jin smiled triumphantly.

    She heard another sentence from him.

    "But I, Shen Wangyan, have written down the grudge. You can see if the price of cooperating with me is something you can afford."

    Xiao Jin's smile froze on his face.
