Although there was an old saying that good people would be rewarded, Su Bai still did not believe that the reason for all this was because he had avenged the children who died young here. At this level of things, it was really difficult for ordinary ghosts to play any role in it. This was something that Su Bai could see very clearly.
If he was a scholar who went to the capital to take the exam and got lost in the woods, and at this time a little ghost came out to guide him and help him escape, then it would be reasonable. But now the people involved, whether it was Su Bai, Ruyi, or the one lying in the coffin in the Land of Proving the Dao, were not existences that a little ghost could connect.
The black cat in the glass marble looked at Su Bai calmly. Although many things were still confused, Su Bai's burden seemed to have been lifted by more than half. No matter what, at least now he was in contact with the Land of Proving the Dao, and he did not need to find other people or contact the local listeners in Yunnan to ask for information.
In fact, thinking about it, the one lying in the coffin in the Land of Proving the Dao, although according to his statement, he was tricked by Su Yuhang, causing him to exist in the coffin all the time, but after all, he was from the same period as Su Yuhang. He had never left by train. He was more disciplined than Liang Sen. He could not be said to be timid, but at least he could be said to be very disciplined. No one would believe that such a person could not reach out of the Land of Proving the Dao.
"Ruyi? Ruyi? "Su Bai shouted at the marble.
The black cat in the marble was still motionless. If Su Bai had not seen the black cat's eyes moving slightly, he might really be afraid that it was just a fixed projection.
So, now the problem was, how should he go to the Land of Proving the Dao?
"Meow!"
At this time, Ji Xiang suddenly stretched out its paw and grabbed Su Bai's trousers.
Su Bai lowered his head, looked at Ji Xiang, and then put the marble in front of Ji Xiang.
Ji Xiang stretched out its paw and rubbed it on the marble, then raised it and patted on the marble. Then, nothing happened.
"Meow! Meow! "
Ji Xiang seemed to be very angry. It continuously patted its paw at the marble, like a cat in a fit of pique.
At first, Su Bai thought that Ji Xiang was competing with Ruyi in the glass marble, just like an ordinary silly dog that would keep barking at itself in the mirror. But soon, Su Bai found that something was wrong. Ji Xiang should not be competing, because even if it had lost its memory, Ji Xiang would not suddenly become like a silly cat.
Su Bai reached out and moved Ji Xiang away, then stepped on the glass marble. The marble immediately shattered. Then, the wind suddenly rose, and a whirlpool appeared on the ground under his feet. The whirlpool appeared very suddenly, and it seemed like it would disappear very soon.
Without much hesitation, Su Bai jumped in with Ji Xiang in his arms.
"Bang! Bang! "
This was like a teleportation formation, but without a doubt, it was much worse than the white light broadcast into the story world. After all, during the broadcast, you might be sleeping on the bed, and when you wake up, you might already be in the story world. And this time, if not for Su Bai's astonishing physique, even if it was Fatso or the monk, they would probably be heavily injured when they arrived at their destination.
"Pu … …"
When he came out, a huge acceleration acted on Su Bai's body. Su Bai hugged Ji Xiang with both hands, his back was on the ground, and then with a "hua la" sound, he continuously rubbed against the ground, this rubbing distance was estimated to be close to a hundred meters.
"Kuang dang!"
Finally, Su Bai's back fiercely crashed into a hard object, and only then did he stop.
Letting go, Ji Xiang walked down unscathed, but Su Bai clenched his teeth. Damn, who knows how many bones in my body have been broken, the flesh on my back has probably been rubbed off, even the bones are exposed.
"Hehe."
A light laugh came from behind Su Bai.
Su Bai turned his head, and discovered that the thing his back had crashed into was the coffin. This coffin was naturally very familiar to Su Bai, when they were trapped here, this coffin would release a strand of corpse energy for him to absorb every day.
Naturally, he recognized this coffin, so there was no need to say who the laugh came from.
"I'm back." Su Bai said. He remembered that during the month he was here, Su Bai would often talk to the coffin, because the person in the coffin basically did not respond, so Su Bai spoke very casually. But now, after half a year, when he returned, Su Bai could no longer speak in a relaxed and joking manner.
"Meow."
Ji Xiang called out to the side of the coffin.
Soon, a similarly black cat walked out. This cat was very similar to Ji Xiang, but there were some differences in the color of their fur. Ji Xiang's fur was softer and brighter, while Ruyi's was heavier. In addition, Ji Xiang's eyes were clear and cold, while Ruyi's eyes were completely stern.
"Oh." A response came from the coffin, it was still as concise and comprehensive as before, but this time, there was an additional sentence: "Why go out?"
Hearing this, Su Bai was silent.
Yes, why go out?
Back then, the person in the coffin did not intend to let him out, but he insisted on going out, because Su Bai did not want the little guy to have no father, but now the father had no son, and looking at Ji Xiang's current state, Su Bai really did not know whether the little guy was dead or alive, because Su Bai did not believe that the man and the woman would care about a grandson.
"No." Su Bai seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "You didn't go out, how do you know about me?"
"It's not difficult to go out," the person in the coffin replied.
On this side, Su Bai chuckled, and the person in the coffin spoke inconsistently, while on the other side, Ji Xiang and Ruyi stared at each other. The two cats looked at each other, motionless, as if they were playing a game of one, two, three, and three.
After a long silence, the two cats began to communicate.
The response from the coffin was slower, and Su Bai wanted to try to listen to what the two cats were talking about. After all, Su Bai did not know what kind of attitude Ruyi had towards Ji Xiang's return.
But after listening for a while, Su Bai gave up.
The conversation between the two cats was as follows:
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Can it be restored?" Su Bai asked.
"It's difficult," the person in the coffin replied.
"You mean you have a way?"
"But I'm a Listener, and you're also a Listener. You should save it, but I have no reason to."
"You're too pedantic," Su Bai said helplessly. He reached out and stroked Ji Xiang's tail. "I owe it."
"Then who owes you?"
Su Bai laughed. "Please don't speak in the same tone, or else I won't be able to tell if you're comforting me or mocking me."
"I can't save it," the person in the coffin said. "It was brought out by Su Yuhang, and has no connection with me."
Su Bai understood what it meant. He could save it, but the person in the coffin was not willing to save it, because he had no connection with Ji Xiang. Saving a great demon, helping a great demon that was comparable to a high-level Listener recover, if this cat did anything in the future, the karma would be on his head.
"The one who came to prove his Dao last time was as cowardly as you." Su Bai replied. "But you're actually different from him. He's a coward, while you're pedantic. Forget it, did I come for nothing this time? "
"You didn't seem to ask how you're going to get out," the person in the coffin said. "I can let you in, but I can't let you out."
"I'm too lazy to go out." This time, it was Su Bai's heartfelt words. Here, at least he could isolate himself from the gaze of the man and woman, right? Even if it was pitch-black here, and there were only ice-cold coffins and the Yellow Springs filled with dried bones, the funny thing was that this seemed to be the only place that could give him a sense of security.
In his eyes, the Fang family used to be an impregnable fortress, but after the man and woman came to destroy it twice, the peach blossom garden that Old Fang had painstakingly built up seemed to be just that.
"You're dispirited," the person in the coffin said.
"You can say that." Su Bai reached out and ran his fingers through his hair. "Tell me, if I were to stay here like you, apart from entering the story world, would I be able to slowly become stronger one day, and finally go out to seek revenge on my parents?"
"No."
The person in the coffin quickly rejected the idea.
After waiting for about three minutes, the person in the coffin said again.
"You will become the next me."
Su Bai was amused. In fact, the last time he was here, Su Bai had called the person in the coffin 'brother'. Although the two of them did not interact much, the person was indeed good to him. Even when he was detained here, he let him absorb the corpse aura, afraid that he would starve to death. At the same time, during the short interaction, Su Bai actually felt like he was talking to an elder.
"Don't belittle yourself so much. It's not bad to be the next you." Su Bai patted the coffin lid. His injuries were almost healed, and he struggled to stand up.
"I can't save you, but it doesn't mean that others can't."
"Here, who else but you?" Su Bai was a little confused. "Other than coffins, there are only dead people here."
"And tombstones."
"This …" Su Bai did not think of this.
"It has followed more than one person in the past." The person in the coffin paused. "The tombstones in the Yellow Springs are imprinted with the soul imprints of those who proved their Dao. They can help it, unless they are unwilling."
Hearing this, Lychee's figure appeared in Su Bai's mind. Because the first time he came into contact with Lychee was when he sent Ji Xiang from Nanjing to Lychee's house in Chengdu. Of course, there was another person.
That person had slaughtered all the ordinary listeners in Shaanxi and piled them up in the terracotta pit. When he was on the phone in the hospital, he had used his phone to communicate with Ji Xiang.
That was … the blood corpse.
