Chapter 298 The Spirit of the Book
Chen Yifan didn't know that the few borers under him began to have his own ideas, stepped out, and returned to the previous storefront leading to the underworld.
It should have been.
However, what appeared in front of Chen Yifan now was an unexpected scene.
The blue bricks and green tiles, mottled moss marks, and the sound of aloud books came from a private school next to it.
The gurgling water came from under your feet.
When he looked around, he was standing on a bluestone bridge. The bridge was quite old, and there were shallow cracks and small pits in some places, which seemed to be covered with the wind and frost of time.
The weather is a little dark, and the sun is hidden behind the clouds, but the sound of the bright book and the gurgling flowing water full of vitality reveal the vitality of life in this loneliness.
Chen Yifan was still confused. A group of children jumped over from his side with green cloth schoolbags on their backs.
If he pays attention, he can see these little children bumping into him, as if they have no physical substance, passing through him.
Chen Yifan did notice that these are all illusory.
In addition to the other end of the stone bridge, a scholar in blue clothes walked towards Chen Yifan.
The person dressed as a scholar is only in his twenties. Although he has walked step by step, Chen Yifan can see that it is floating.
This scholar is not a physical entity, but at least he is a real and spiritual body.
Generally speaking, most of the spiritual bodies are ghosts, and the souls that leave their bodies after the death of a living being.
And the one in front of you is just a spirit, not a soul.
He has never been born, nor has he talked about death, nor is he a ghost.
Seeing him, Chen Yifan's confused expression had calmed down. He had long known that the "cheap house" that Wen Su rented was a bit problematic.
However, although this place was messy before, there was no excessively strong yin energy, so he did not pay much attention to it.
Now it seems, no wonder!
Only where ghosts live will accumulate too much yin energy, but pure spirit will not.
Spirit can be said to be a simple kind of energy with consciousness and various attributes, not necessarily Yin.
Just like monsters and ghosts, spirits can also be good and bad.
I don’t know whether the one in front of me is good or bad, but what is the purpose of appearing at this time?
Judging from his spiritual body alone, there is not much evil aura, it is gentle and has a Confucian style.
"Nian Xin has seen the immortal leader!" The scholar in Qingshan performed a very standard etiquette towards Chen Yifan. It can be seen that he restrained himself with etiquette, which was a bit old-fashioned, but he should not be much bad.
"What does this mean?" Chen Yifan turned his head and looked around and asked with a smile.
The scholar in the green shirt smiled shyly: "This house has not been tidied for a long time, and it is very simple. I dare not receive the immortal chief in this humble room."
"Why call me the Immortal Chief?" Chen Yifan asked again. Since this guy has been here, he should have seen that he had just gone to the underworld, right?
"Although Nian Xin does not know the immortal origin, as we have just seen, the immortal leader should work in the underworld." Nian Xin replied honestly.
Otherwise, you can't drive the ghost messenger like that.
The ghost messenger is still considered a low-level ghost immortal, let alone a ghost messenger who can drive the ghost messenger.
"Nian Xin saw that Xianzhan was also a person who loved books and was interested in learning. He also asked Xianzhan to help me. Nian Xin was willing to follow Xianzhan to repay this kindness." Then, Nian Xin couldn't wait to explain his purpose.
Chen Yifan found that his spirit body had become a little dim.
"Who are you?" Chen Yifan did not answer directly, but asked.
Although no matter what spirit, there are both good and bad sides, the types of spirits will generally affect their minds.
"Nian Xin is the spirit of books." Nian Xin replied with his head down.
"It turns out that it is the book fairy mentioned by the world. I can help you. Please tell me first what happened here!" Chen Yifan said with his eyes slightly brighter after hearing this.
The system told him that the book spirit is what the world calls the book immortal. He is more knowledgeable and can understand any book in front of him in an instant.
Generally speaking, the older the book spirit, the more profound the knowledge, and even the rumored immortals who have been in the past ten thousand years know everything.
For Chen Yifan, a learning madman, it would be better to have a book immortal following him!
"This is also related to the help I want to ask the Immortal Chief."
Nian Xin replied with a wry smile.
"Oh? Let's talk about it!" Chen Yifan said curiously.
If Nian Xin was a good book spirit, how could he make this place messy?
"Thirty years ago, Nian Xin was born from an ancient book. The ancient book was collected by an old man and read it from time to time."
"Over time, Nian Xinbushi revealed his traces in front of the old man. After several temptations, he discovered my existence."
"The old man is knowledgeable and well-versed in the Chinese school of thought, so we often talk long and long."
"In this way, we became close friends and spent more than ten years together. Later, the old man opened a bookstore here, and there was an elementary school nearby. Children often came to buy books... It was such a time to go!" As he said, Nian Xin was full of nostalgia and emotion.
“It’s a pity that the good times won’t last long.”
"Later, the old man's son became addicted to gambling. When he came to the bookstore to ask for money, he actually attacked the old man. Nian Xin couldn't help but teach him a lesson." Speaking of this, Nian Xin couldn't help but look angry.
Then he smiled bitterly again: "But this attracted a Taoist priest to come to "catch ghosts."
"Of course, the old man refused to let him go and had a dispute with them."
"At that time, the Taoist priest was here, Nian Xin was still in a very small state of strength and dared not show up, but they did not expect that they would push and kill the old man."
"Later..." Nian Xin carefully glanced at Chen Yifan.
"Later, Nian Xin couldn't bear to part with the old man, so he hid him when the ghost messenger came to take the old man's soul."
"Although the old man stayed with me in this way, he was unwilling to do evil to absorb the yang energy of others and did not practice martial arts, and his soul became weaker and weaker."
"Nian Xin has been protecting her with spiritual power over the years, but recently, the old man seems to be unable to do it."
"Since the Immortal is a ghost immortal in the underworld, I beg the Immortal to help the old man enter the underworld and reincarnate!" Nian Xin knelt straight in front of Chen Yifan, and his spiritual body felt sad again.
No wonder Chen Yifan didn’t notice him, but he came out by himself. This is because he just saw Chen Yifan driving the ghost messenger!
"Isn't this a sin you did yourself? As you said, the old man should be a good person. He was taken by the ghost trooper and should have been reincarnated long ago." Chen Yifan curled his lips and said.
If it were in the past, he would definitely understand Nian Xin’s approach.
But as the influence of the clergy deepened, he no longer understood so much, and the unwise spirit became obsessed with life and death.
"It was a mistake made by Nian Xin Wuzhi. Please give Nian Xin a chance to make up for it!" Nian Xin bowed his head and kowtowed with a sincere expression.
