Singing over wine, how is life? After Cheng Zhan finished talking about gluttonous food, Si Ye felt that he had lost his appetite and didn't want the smell of grilled fish to linger on him.
"With your skills, if you don't get into Jiubu, it will be useless to grill fish." Si Ye took a sip of wine and fish, which reminded him of his days in Yunnan.
The encounters in life are hard to describe.
Cheng Zhan didn't eat much, he was dedicated to being a griller. His charcoal stove was big and could grill multiple fishes at the same time. While he was talking, he looked at a few fishes and turned them over.
"It's troublesome, and not all diners like to eat fish." Cheng Zhan said lightly.
Si Ye gnawed on the fish, "What's the trouble? The fish came into the kitchen and was grilled directly on the stove."
"How do you think this fish came about?" Cheng Zhan looked at him through the firelight with a half-smile but not a smile.
Si Ye was stunned and looked down at the fish in his hand, "Isn't it just bought at the market..." If you can ask this, it definitely means you didn't buy it at the market. After thinking about it, "You...couldn't be the one who caught it, right?"
Or maybe you fished it out of the sea yourself?"
"That's right." Cheng Zhan said, "Grilled fish is delicious. What you eat is not the seasoning, but the taste of the fish itself. Under normal circumstances, I will look for deep-sea fish or cold pond fish, the meat is delicious."
Si Ye secretly thought that there were no deep seas, cold pools, etc. in Jiangcheng.
This man's mouth is quite picky. What kind of fish is not a fish?
"It's a pity that you didn't try Jiubu's dishes. After all, the chefs are not simple." Cheng Zhan said.
Si Ye chuckled twice, "The person who grilled fish for me is even more extraordinary. I have eaten the fish grilled by the most powerful people. I will look down on a mere dish boy from Jiubu?"
Cheng Zhan liked hearing this, and the corners of his lips curved, "Yes."
While there was wine and meat, Si Ye began to "settle accounts after the fall".
"Can Xiao Xu tell the truth to the police?"
Cheng Zhan ate the fish slowly, "He didn't have a choice."
Si Ye recalled the scene on the rooftop and asked Cheng Zhan, "What happened at that time? What did you do to Xiao Xu?"
When this matter was mentioned, Cheng Zhan's face became a little gloomy.
Seeing this, Si Ye's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he hesitated, "What are you suspecting?"
He actually had a feeling when he was on the rooftop. It was just fleeting at the time. Until just now, when there was a solemn look in Cheng Zhan's eyes, the strange feeling in Si Ye began to gradually become clear.
Cheng Zhan turned his head to look at him and asked, "Aren't you also doubting it?"
Si Ye took a breath and murmured subconsciously, "Witch Spirit..."
Cheng Zhan nodded, "I suspected it was a witch spirit, so I tested it."
This is the last thing Si Ye wants to see and admit. He petitioned Xiao Xu to be possessed by evil spirits. Back then, Qin Laosan was always troubled and implicated so many people. Now Xiao Xu is behind the entire campus. Once
What about touching the spirit and doing whatever you want?
But then I thought about it, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Cheng Zhan is the one who seals the wizard spirit, so it would be a good thing to meet him early.
"I saw something luminous coming out of his head. Is it a witch spirit?" Si Ye was puzzled.
Cheng Zhan shook his head, "It's his life soul."
Si Ye was surprised.
"Humans have three souls and seven souls. The life soul is the foundation and controls the seven souls of a person. So if there is a shaman spirit in Xiao Xu's body, just see if his life soul has been controlled or even eaten." Cheng Zhan said slowly.
, "Hexu can sense the wizard spirit, so when I was on the rooftop, I used Hexu to detect his life soul."
Si Ye thought of the pain on Xiao Xu's face, and his whole body ached. Cheng Zhan saw his thoughts and said, "It is indeed painful, but the most painful thing is not the soul of the soul."
Si Ye was curious when he heard this, "What is that?"
Cheng Zhan stared at him without speaking.
This look made Si Ye feel hairy all over, and he felt that Cheng Zhan's handsome face looked extremely mysterious in the flickering light, and there was light in his eyes that appeared and disappeared, which seemed a bit strange at first glance.
"What...are you looking at me for?"
Cheng Zhan spoke, "Do you still remember what Ji Dan said?"
That egg said so many things... Si Ye didn't respond, waiting for Cheng Zhan to continue.
Cheng Zhan's eyes were always on his face, "There are two ways to detect the witch spirit. One is to detect whether the witch spirit possesses a parasite. In this case, you can either directly sense it or detect the soul like Xiao Xu; the other is to detect whether the witch spirit possesses a parasite.
One is to explore the witch spirit itself. In this case, the entire three souls and seven souls must be tested with Hexu. The pain is unspeakable, and the tester may even be unable to bear it and die."
Si Ye's hair stood up as he listened, and he even felt his own flesh hurt. Then he finally understood the meaning of the words Cheng Zhan asked just now, and finally understood Cheng Zhan's displeased expression after hearing what Ji Dan said.
reason.
Just looking for the soul, he felt like Xiao Xu was about to die. Want to check the whole three souls and seven souls?
etc……
"I can understand the first situation, but what does the second situation mean? What is the witch spirit itself?" Si Ye was confused.
Cheng Zhan gave the most direct answer, "The witch spirit itself is the person who is the witch spirit."
Siye let out a cry.
Still confused, "Didn't you say that wizard spirits can only attach themselves to parasites?"
In other words, a spirit body is illusory. If it wants to survive, it must occupy the body of others and live.
"Yes, but there are exceptions." Cheng Zhan said, "When the witch clan was destroyed, the body of the great witch dissipated and transformed into witch spirits. The witch spirits were divided into categories based on the three souls and seven souls of humans, with different abilities and characteristics. Some only
They can live attached to parasites, but some can transform into bodies after being nourished by the sun and moon, so these are witch spirits with their own bodies, and there is no need to look for other parasites."
"Is there such a good thing?" Si Ye was stunned.
Cheng Zhan hesitated, "It's just a legend. At least I haven't seen this before when I sealed the wizard spirit."
"Are there other witch spirits? Those who don't follow the three souls and seven souls."
Cheng Zhan was very sure, "No, the wizard spirit must be attached to the living body and cannot be separated from the three souls and seven souls."
"Then I don't understand." Si Ye adjusted his sitting position, "Suppose, if a wizard spirit has its own body, wouldn't it be a human being? If the other party is a human being, why would you seal it?"
"It's not a human being." Cheng Zhan corrected his wrong view, "Even if the witch spirit transforms into a body, it is not a human being. Its violent and cruel nature will not change, and it will still harm the world. And once such a witch spirit exists, then
It is the ruler of the witch spirits, and other witch spirits will be eager to try it, and in the end their lives will be ruined."
Si Ye understood, "Then... does this witch spirit with its own body live a long life?"
Cheng Zhan nodded, "The physical body will never die, and the shamanic consciousness will never dissipate. If it is not sealed, it will live for a long time and never age or die."
Si Ye sighed, "Then I am definitely not. There is no need to explore at all. I must have died countless times, and I am resurrected through the body of the young master of the Si family? I am at best a rebirth."
In fact, Cheng Zhan thought the same way. Although Si Ye's situation was quite special, the world is so vast and reincarnation occurs, so there are all kinds of special and weird things.
It is said that the body of the young master of the Si family is controlled by a witch spirit? Cheng Zhan's Hexu has long sensed it, and that Si Ye himself is a witch spirit? He is not immortal.
So the only explanation is that Si Ye was just...reborn.
Just rebirth.
For Cheng Zhan, who has lived for thousands of generations, this is no longer a rare thing.
He looked at Si Ye with a smile, "What do you mean by your lonely look? Do you still wish you were a witch spirit?"
Si Ye clicked his lips twice, "At least you know who you are, right? I don't even know who I am now."
Cheng Zhan was speechless and still confused.
"You are Si Ye now." He emphasized.
"What about before rebirth?" Si Ye started to get into trouble again, "As I said again, I don't want to know how I came to be, I just want to know how I didn't exist!"
All right.
Cheng Zhan couldn't answer. He had a mean mouth and shouldn't have stepped on Si Ye's sad place.
"Why--"
"I can only detect witch spirits, not other life forms." Cheng Zhan intercepted his plan.
Si Ye rolled his eyes, wishing they could fly away.
"In other words, when Hexu cannot sense the shaman spirit, he will go to explore the soul?" Si Ye returned to the topic.
Cheng Zhan nodded, "Generally speaking, this method will not be used, as it will aggravate the pain of the living body, because the combined virtual sensor is very accurate, unless it is uncertain like Xiao Xu."
"It turns out that you didn't find the Wu Ling in Xiao Xu's body, so this matter has nothing to do with the Wu Ling?"
"On the contrary, I suspect that it was Wu Ling who did it." Cheng Zhan said firmly.
Si Ye was confused when he heard this. He was really puzzled.
On the one hand, the witch spirit has not been found, but on the other hand, there is still suspicion of a witch spirit, so...
"Where is the witch spirit?" Si Ye asked.
"On Lin Ran."
Si Ye was stunned and screamed for a long time, "Lin Ran was controlled by the witch spirit and then jumped off the building?"
Cheng Zhan shook his head, "The order is wrong. Lin Ran was controlled by the witch spirit after his death."
Si Ye held his forehead and didn't care about eating the fish. No, he fainted. "No, I don't understand. What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, the wizard took over Lin Ran's soul, and then ate Bai Rong's soul. If the judgment is correct, the reason why you were affected on the rooftop at that time was because of Lin Ran."
Si Ye felt that the amount of information was too great.
Why is it all related to after death?
His head was in a mess and his thinking was confused. After a long time, Siye came up with a question——
"That's not right. Didn't you say that wizard spirits can only live by living creatures? Lin Ran is dead!"
Cheng Zhan corrected his statement, "I said that wizard spirits are attached to living creatures, but I didn't say that they can only attach to living creatures. But if you want to survive, you must have a physical body, so the spirit in Lin Ran's dead soul
Wu Ling will definitely find a way to find the next scapegoat, and it is most likely Xiao Xu."
"So, you left Hexu in Xiao Xu's body?"
Si Ye's eyes were sharp. When the glowing thing, which was the life soul mentioned by Cheng Zhan, returned to Xiao Xu's body, Youdao Hexu also entered Xiao Xu's body.
Cheng Zhan nodded slightly, "Yes, this way the witch spirit can't enter his body, and as long as the witch spirit comes to him, I can sense it."
Si Ye turned his head and looked at him, half-smiling.
This time it was Cheng Zhan's turn to ask, "Why do you look at me like that?"
"It's not like your style of doing things." Si Ye said with a smile.
"What's my style?"
"You should use Xiao Xu as bait to lure the witch spirit into his body, and then catch a turtle in a urn, right?
Cheng Zhan smiled lightly, took the clip and stirred the charcoal, "Is this the image I have in your mind?"
"Have you never done this kind of thing before?"
"It's different." Cheng Zhan looked at the flames in front of him, and the depths of his pupils seemed to be lit with fire. "Before, I just invited the wizard spirits to come. Xiao Xu is letting the wizard spirits come in. Even if I accept the wizard spirits by then,
Ling, Xiao Xu will also be greatly harmed."
A chill ran down Si Ye's spine, that was indeed the case.
Like what happened before, although Qu Ya and Fang Ting are now safe and sound, and they don't even remember what happened, they may not be able to sit back and relax.
When Cheng Zhan erased their memories, he also told him privately that there might be a chance that the memories would backfire on them, which would be very scary.
So after the separation, Si Ye would interact with Fang Ting and the others from time to time to ensure that nothing went wrong with them.
"And..." Cheng Zhan didn't finish his words, and the tone of his next words became softer, "You don't like what I did."
He is indeed a person who doesn't think about others. In the past, when he accepted witch spirits, he didn't care whether the person whose body was taken over lived or died. Moreover, he always felt that living would be better than dying. He was influenced by the witch spirits and would be a walking corpse for the rest of his life.
It's not a good life. Anyway, he just died, not disappeared. After death, he will wait for rebirth.
But again, Si Ye didn't like it.
After hearing this, Si Ye smiled and said, "If you have the ability to keep Xiao Xu safe, I don't mind if you use abnormal means."
Cheng Zhan said directly, "I can't guarantee it, and it's troublesome. Why should I waste my time?"
This is what I said.
Si Ye curled his lips, probably the most important thing he lacked was time.
After the two of them exchanged words, Cheng Zhan returned to the serious topic, "Furthermore, the shaman spirit who can find Xiao Xu is special. It is unknown what consequences it will have on Xiao Xu."
Si Ye thought about the remaining wizard spirits and asked, "Which one do you think it is?"
"At first I thought it was evil, but then I thought it was anger." Cheng Zhan analyzed, "Remember what Xiao Xu said he felt when he entered the laboratory building? That was the angry spirit among the witch spirits that was affecting him."
After thinking for a while, he said, "And if you analyze from Bai Rong's death to Lin Ran's death, combined with the events and background of the death, both Bai Rong and Lin Ran had anger and grievances, which are most suitable for nourishing angry spirits.
.”
Si Ye's thinking was completely comparable to that of Cheng Zhan. He suddenly remembered the hand that pushed Lin Ran downstairs in his dream, "So what you are saying is that Lin Ran's death is actually related to Bai Rong?"
Cheng Zhan nodded, with a smile in his eyes, "You have to think clearly."
Yes, Si Ye also felt that he had understood it clearly. Not only did he understand it, he also felt that his imagination was wide open.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a good look at it."
Si Ye put down the fish and wine in his hands and recalled what he had found out before. With this combination, a complete chain of death between Bai Rong and Lin Ran became clear!
