After confirming that Ye Jiu was fine, Zhang Meng asked the old man with felt hats about the Water Ghost Village and was about to set off immediately.

When the old man with felt hat saw Ye Jiu leaving, he insisted on escorting everyone over. Zhang Meng refused after seeing him getting older, but unexpectedly, the old man insisted again and again. Finally, Ye Jiu said something to Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng nodded and agreed.

Finally, the old man with felt hat went back to the village to cook, and everyone sat there, and everyone shared a little food to eat.

While everyone was eating and not paying attention to this place, Ye Jiu glanced at Zhang Meng secretly.

Zhang Meng followed Ye Jiu with understanding and walked around.

Before Zhang Meng could ask, Ye Jiu said first: "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Meng was slightly stunned by Ye Jiu's inexplicable question. Then she looked up at Ye Jiu and said inexplicably: "Why do you ask like this?"

In fact, everyone has traveled around the world and has gone through so many times. I have never seen any monsters or ghosts? But after all, those things are not prehistoric creatures, or failures of the immortality experiment, and there is nothing completely unexplainable. The word ghost, except for modern Chinese, interpreted as ghosts after death, is actually explained in the earliest books such as "The Book of Rites", but most of them say that after a person dies, he is called ghosts after being secretly unpredictable.

Zhang Meng was not clear about the earliest explanation.

But Ye Jiu knew it, so he explained it briefly to Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng didn't know why Ye Jiu wanted to re-explain the earliest quotation of the word ghost, but Zhang Meng also knew that Ye Jiu must have something to say to him, so he was so serious. He immediately looked up at Ye Jiu and asked, "Brother Jiu, are you saying that the earliest explanation of the word ghost is not necessarily the soul after death?"

"Yeah." Ye Jiu nodded with a serious expression and said, "To be precise, only those who are buried after death and who are not taken in will be called ghosts."

"That"

"What do I want to say, right?" Ye Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head again: "To be honest, even I can't believe what I saw. So, I can only tell you one person about this."

Looking at Ye Jiu's solemn expression, Zhang Meng's heart trembled and quickly looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you think I'm really lost?" Ye Jiu did not rush to answer Zhang Meng, but looked at Zhang Meng and said, "I survived in this old forest at the age of six. Even if I didn't see it at a glance, I wouldn't be lost."

Hearing Ye Jiu's words, Zhang Meng nodded. With Ye Jiu's ability, not to mention the old forest he is familiar with, even a strange mountain cannot trap Ye Jiu. It seems that Ye Jiu has planned to hide some things from everyone from the beginning. Perhaps in Ye Jiu's heart, the only person who can make him trust is himself, right?

"I'm afraid this matter will start from the beginning." Ye Jiu turned around and glanced at it. Seeing that everyone was not paying attention, he said: "Last night, after I heard the footsteps outside the Dragon Bone Temple, I chased after it first."

"Um."

"I'm afraid you're lost here, I'll leave marks along the way." Ye Jiu said.

"Yes." Zhang Meng nodded and asked, "Are those footsteps a group of white-clothed Yin soldiers wearing Ming Dynasty naval armour?"

"Yes." Ye Jiu nodded.

Zhang Meng responded: "That's right. These ghost soldiers came to the ghost banquet last night. It seems that they are undoubtedly ghosts."

"At first, I thought the Feng Shui in this place was not good. Under the influence of the magnetic field and pressure, the remaining Yin Qi formed an image of Yin soldiers." Ye Jiu recalled with a contemplative look: "But later on, I didn't feel that way."

Zhang Meng turned her head and listened quietly to Ye Jiu's words.

"My fast snow knife was not actually snatched away by the fake Ye Jiu." Ye Jiu raised his hand and revealed a scar: "I lied, the person was indeed me last night

"ah?"

Zhang Meng didn't expect that people like Ye Jiu would lie to cover up the truth. It can be imagined how important the matter behind this is. What exactly made Ye Jiu choose to deceive everyone.

Although Zhang Meng was surprised, she did not interrupt Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu said coldly: "It's a bit strange to say, in fact, since I discovered that the owner of the footsteps was a Yin soldiers, I have been following them. I suspected that they were also pretending to be villagers. Otherwise, how could a real ghost have footsteps? So I deliberately sold a flaw, but they just didn't notice me and ignored me."

"Well……"

"So Yu Qian didn't hide at that time and slowly walked into their team. But they seemed to have not noticed me and ignored me at all." Ye Jiu, who was trapped in memory, always had a look of unwillingness to believe: "I once touched them tentatively, but found that they were very empty, just like our earliest understanding of ghosts. Or, we are not people on two planes at all."

"Doesn't this just mean that they are ghosts and ghost soldiers?" Zhang Meng asked back.

"According to this calculation, they are of course ghosts. But do you know?" At this moment, Ye Jiu's face suddenly became very serious: "Just when I thought they were ghosts in different worlds from us, one after another, strange things happened." Before Zhang Meng asked, Ye Jiu put his finger on the Tang Dao and said, "They were very sensitive to the Quick Snow Knife. When the Quick Snow Knife was unsheathed, I felt the resistance from them. The chaotic scene at that time was mainly due to the appearance of the Quick Snow Knife."

"What's next?"

"The next moment will be a scene that I will never forget forever." Ye Jiu glanced at Zhang Meng meaningfully and said, "When the Quick Snow Knife slashed at these Yin soldiers, I seemed to feel that I had become lighter at that moment. Everything around me became very subtle in my eyes. Not only that, but even the speed of attack was scary. I felt that it was another me hidden in my body. This feeling happened when the rebirth of Jingjue Ancient City, and it also appeared at the last moment of Genghis Khan's secret burial."

Listening to Ye Jiu's memories, Zhang Meng thought of Brother Jun's words, looked up at Ye Jiu and asked, "Did you awaken your potential at that time?"

"I thought it was potential, but this feeling was very short-lived." Ye Jiu recalled: "I was controlled by them after that, but at the moment I was controlled, I was sure that these Yin soldiers could actually see us, or that I was in that state."

"It's because of this that you are sure that there is another kind of life form in the world in the form of 'ghosts,'" Zhang Meng suddenly realized.

"No." Ye Jiu replied coldly: "Actually, the evidence that really convinced me of their existence was after I was controlled." After that, Ye Jiu glanced at Zhang Meng again and said: "To be precise, I was rescued by your father. He took my fast snow knife and took the Yin soldiers away."

"my father?"
