Chapter Seven: The Old Man in the Leaning Tower

Su Qin rubbed the ring in his hand, thinking about Li Chen. Although he said it was easy to talk to Lao Wang, in reality he didn't know how to deal with the ghost in Li Chen.

"Boss, what are you thinking about, so lost in thought?" Liu Ying asked while cleaning.

"Tell me, are there differences between ghosts? For example, you and the ghosts in the tavern don't seem to be serious ghosts, and they don't have a violent spirit. Can the ghosts with more resentment be able to hurt people?"

"Well, speaking for myself, I feel no different from when I was alive. Apart from not having to sleep and eat, there is nothing special about it."

Su Qin frowned, suffering from the fact that there was no one to discuss with him.

After returning to the room, I looked at the box left by my parents and the ring on my hand, thinking: I just hope to enter the Leaning Tower again tonight to find other clues.

As the night progressed, Su Qin played with his cell phone and fell asleep after a while.

When he opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was the leaning tower from last time.

"Sure enough, what I thought was right. I entered here again after sleeping. Today I went to the second floor to see if there is anything there."

Su Qin thought as he groped his way to the Leaning Tower.

Last time, he just walked along the wall. It was too dark inside the Leaning Tower, so he didn't find anything.

But this time, after being strengthened by magic power, Su Qin's eyes had the ability of night vision, and he could clearly see the scene inside the Leaning Tower.

The first floor was empty, nothing existed, just some dead leaves and unknown animal bones.

There is a spiral staircase in the middle that leads directly to the top of the leaning tower.

Su Qin stood at the bottom of the stairs. Even with his night vision, he couldn't see clearly what was going on above.

With a heart in his heart, he slowly walked up to the second floor. In the quiet environment, the only sound was the sound of him stepping on the stairs step by step.

After a while, Su Qin walked to the stairs on the second floor. He looked around and found murals carved on the walls of the second floor.

But the things depicted were so weird that he couldn't recognize them at all.

Just when he was confused, Su Qin heard some different sounds.

It was like the sound of someone turning the pages of a book. He followed the sound and saw a hill made of stacked books. The sound came from the mountain of books.

Not only the sound, but also the orange light near the book mountain makes it look like someone is reading a book.

Su Qin cheered himself up and walked over slowly.

When I took a closer look, I realized that there were really a lot of books on the ground. They were scattered on the ground, making it difficult for people to find a place to stay.

Su Qin quietly lay down behind a pile of books, stretched out his head and looked at the place where the sound came from.

I saw a short dwarf old man, half squatting, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it. His expression was focused and serious, and he didn't even notice that a person had come up.

Su Qin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this old man. He had been afraid that it was another ghost before.

"Old man, are you reading here alone? Where is this place?" Su Qin bravely walked out.

The old man turned around when he heard the voice. He had a kind face and a smile on his face, as if he had expected it.

"Master, I was waiting for you, and you are finally here." As soon as the old man spoke, Su Qin was frightened.

"What master? Have you recognized the wrong person? I don't know you at all? This is my first time here, and I want to ask you where this place is?"

The old man was slightly surprised, put down the book in his hand, walked into Su Qin, looked at Su Qin, and said again: "I am blind, I have mistaken you, sir, please forgive me."

Su Qin waved his hand to indicate it was okay and continued to ask: "Old man, you haven't answered my question yet? Why are you here alone? Where are you?"

"My name is Liu Min. I have been in this leaning tower since my death. It must have been hundreds of years."

"Because I like reading, the master collected countless books for me to read. Unfortunately, the master has not appeared for a long time, and I don't know where he went." The old man stared at Su Qin.

Su Qin was taken aback and exclaimed, "You said you have been dead for hundreds of years?"

Su Qin's originally relieved heart was lifted up again, and he secretly cried out in his heart, what the hell is this? He encountered a ghost again, and it was an old ghost that was hundreds of years old.

Liu Min looked at the nervous Su Qin and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. Although I am a ghost, I have never harmed anyone. I have only been studying in the tower for hundreds of years. What's more, you have a kind of me."

It’s a familiar feeling, I won’t do anything against you.”

Looking at the smiling old man in front of him, Su Qin slowly let down his guard and thought: The old man doesn't look like a bad person, and this is just his dream, so he should be fine.

Liu Min sat down casually and motioned to Su Qin to find a place to sit down as well. He was too tired to stand and talk.

"If you don't mind, I'll call you Mr. Liu."

"If you don't mind, I'll call you Xiao Su." Mr. Liu said kindly.

"Mr. Liu, you said before that your master put you in the Leaning Tower and he hasn't appeared for a long time. So what kind of person is he?" Su Qin asked curiously.

Mr. Liu had a look of recollection in his eyes and said slowly: "Master, he is an ambitious person. He is determined to realize his dream. In order to realize his dream, he is willing to give up everything. He has a kind of magic power that makes people want to follow him.

steps to help him realize his dream."

"After my death, he collected my favorite books for me to spend time in the Leaning Tower. Occasionally, I would solve my master's problems and solve his troubles."

"It's a pity that the master has not appeared for a long time, and I don't know where he has gone." When Mr. Liu said this, his eyes were slightly moist, which shows how deep his feelings for his master are.

Su Qin was speechless for a moment. The old man and his master were actually a master and servant with deep feelings. It turned out that after death, there was no difference between him and the living person.

On the contrary, many living people are not as clear-eyed as the ghosts after death.

Suddenly, Su Qin remembered that Mr. Liu had lived for hundreds of years and must have experienced a lot. Maybe he could get an explanation for his doubts.

He quickly raised his questions to Mr. Liu and told him his recent experiences.

While listening to Su Qin's narration, Mr. Liu's expression changed again and again.

His eyes flashed from time to time, seeming to confirm a lot of things.

After Su Qin finished speaking, Mr. Liu fell into deep thought. Su Qin did not rush him, but just waited quietly.

After a long while, Mr. Liu finally said: "According to what you said, the ring you are wearing should be the Qingming Ring. With it, you can borrow the power of ghosts and let ghosts live in it. As for how to deal with Li Chen, you said

Even if you have ghosts on your body, I can also teach you how to use the magic power on your body."

"But you have to think carefully. Once you start to come into contact with these things, you will be stepping into the door of ghosts. It will be difficult to escape." Mr. Liu looked at Su Qin with a playful expression.

"Do I have any other choice now? Ever since my parents left this tavern, I can no longer stay out of it." Su Qin shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, then you have to listen carefully..." Mr. Liu carefully taught Su Qin the use of magic power and answered all the questions Su Qin had encountered so far, including the knowledge of ghosts.

Su Qin's face showed doubts from time to time, and then he showed a look of sudden enlightenment. It seemed that he had benefited a lot from Mr. Liu's teachings.

Time passed by, and Su Qin had mastered the use of magic. Mr. Liu said: "That's it for today. I know you still have too many questions, but you can't become fat by eating in one go.

Take your time."

"In this way, if you believe me, I can go into your ring. If anything happens to you, just say my name silently in your heart, and I will appear."

After such a long exchange, Su Qin found that Liu Min did not look like a ghost, but rather like a knowledgeable elder with a cordial feeling, so he nodded in agreement.

Mr. Liu waved his hand, and Su Qin felt as if he was blown away. He was stunned, and when he realized it again, he was already in his room.

I moved my body again and used my magic power, and my whole body felt different.

Su Qin thought about Mr. Liu silently in his heart, and then heard Mr. Liu's response, proving that all this was true and not a dream he had.

Su Qin calmed down and said, "According to Mr. Liu, this leaning tower belongs to his owner. So, what else exists on the leaning tower and who his owner is, these are all mysteries."

"As for why this leaning tower appears in my consciousness and can I enter the leaning tower? It seems that Mr. Liu knows something, but he seems to have deliberately concealed it." Su Qin recalled his expression when he asked Mr. Liu.

"Also, how did my parents have this ring and the tavern? Mr. Liu just told me the origin of the ring. He just said that the tavern is an ordinary tavern. There may be some special formation that can attract orphans.

It’s just a ghost.”

Su Qin sighed. He originally thought he had some clues, but he didn't expect more questions to arise. Now, he had to take it one step at a time.

Su Qin patted his face and thought: At least Mr. Liu is here. If you don't understand something, you can ask him. The strange thing is, why do I feel so familiar with him?

"Don't think about it for now. Let's sleep for a while and think about it tomorrow." Su Qin looked at the time. In reality, only two hours had passed. As for the Leaning Tower, he didn't know how much time had passed.

Perhaps because he received too much information at once, Su Qin felt tired and fell asleep quickly.

But what he didn't know was that after he fell asleep, the ring on his hand shone with a strange light.
