The landlady's eyes were as wide as a bell, but her body was frozen in place, unable to move.
"As you think..." The man's pupils were black and white, in sharp contrast to the blood on his face, "I'm already dead..."
The landlady felt as if her heartbeat had stopped.
"You..." She could barely pronounce one byte, "You..."
"help me."
The man's lips trembled, and he looked at the landlady. His eyes and eye sockets were a little moist, so his eyes were also a little moist.
The landlady shuddered.
For some reason, the cold air surrounding him seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
"You... do you want me to help you?" The landlady was able to speak. She pointed at herself and asked, "But I don't know anything. I... I'm just an ordinary person..."
"Only you..." The man's voice became weaker and weaker, and his movements of closing his eyes gradually slowed down, "Please help me save him... Please... I'm leaving..."
"Save...save people..." The landlady blinked, "I remembered! Did you want me to save people before?"
The man nodded weakly.
"But I don't know how to save people. I'm just an ordinary citizen. Why did you come to me?..."
"That day, you went to identify the body," the man said in a tired tone, "My last ray of spirit was attached to you and escaped with you..."
"But I have never seen your body." The landlady looked the man up and down again.
"I have no body..." The man leaned against the table at the front desk, breathless, "Now...I only have this ray of spirit left..."
The landlady felt a touch of compassion in her heart.
"Tell me, who should I save?" She gritted her teeth and replied simply, "I'll help... I'll find someone to help you."
The man raised his eyes again, filled with gratitude.
"There is a hidden door in that house..." He pointed to the ground, "The person you want to save is hidden under that door. Go and save him..."
"Dimen, under the door... I remember it." For some reason, the landlady's nose became sore. "By the way, what's your name? And what's the name of the person you asked me to save?"
"My name is Huang Zhi..." The man's eyes flashed with tears, "His surname is Zhuge, and his name is Zhuge Shou..."
***
Luo Jiutian's steps trembled and he almost fell over.
"Huang...Senior Brother Huang..."
Everyone was shocked and regretful, their eyes darting between Luo Jiutian and the landlady.
"Is this Senior Brother Huang?" The fool held Luo Jiutian's shoulders and asked in shock, "Then what he said..."
Luo Jiutian looked solemn, pursed his lips tightly, and nodded.
"He is already dead..." Xia Hua shook her head sadly and sighed, "Oh... what a pity..."
"Do you know him?" The landlady looked at them with tears in her eyes.
The Taoist Master nodded, pointed at Luo Jiutian and said, "Those two are his fellow seniors."
"Senior brother...yes! Go and save people quickly! He said that your other senior brother is still there..."
"Sister, seeing that you are a kind and good person, we won't hide it from you," the Taoist priest said. "In fact, we have rescued Senior Brother Zhuge."
The landlady was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh... you went out in the middle of the night yesterday to save people?"
Everyone nodded.
"Then you were rescued?"
"Rescued."
"Then..." The landlady glanced at Luo Jiutian secretly and lowered her voice, "Is the other one still alive?"
"Still alive," the Taoist priest said with a slight smile, "Although his body is very weak, he finally saved his life."
"That's good, that's good..." The landlady rubbed her face and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't know... Oops... I don't know why I cried... I'm so embarrassed.
The...this..."
"This is normal," the Taoist priest explained, "You and Senior Brother Huang are connected spiritually, and it was his emotions that affected you."
"You must also feel regretful." Xia Hua added.
The lady boss's tears had just stopped. When she heard what the two said, her chin trembled again, "Oh... I saw him. Although his face was covered with blood, I could tell that he was not old... I saw his pair of eyes.
My eyes were misty and full of tears, and I felt... pitiful..."
"No wonder his spirit follows you," the Taoist priest said, "Sister, your spiritual ability is very strong."
"What is telepathy?"
"It means that you are very delicate, sensitive, and kind. Your spirit will not reject the weak, but will subconsciously provide help to the weak." Xia Hua said.
"I also have a spirit?" the landlady asked in surprise, "but I am a living person."
"Everyone has a spirit," Xia Hua said. "The living and the dead are all the same, but the form of the spirit is different."
The landlady looked like she had a lot of experience.
"Taoist Master," Luo Jiutian said, "I need to know how Senior Brother Huang died."
"Has he mentioned this to you?" The Taoist priest turned to the landlady and asked.
"No, after he told me his name and that person's name, he disappeared, and then I came up quickly." The landlady said while wiping the tears on her face.
Luo Jiutian stood up and said, "I also want to meet Senior Brother Huang."
"Generally speaking, only the other party can see the connected spirit," the Taoist priest said.
"Sister, next time you see Senior Brother Huang, can you..."
"Don't be hasty," Xia Hua interrupted Luo Jiutian, "Jiutian, I think it's better not to let Huang Zhi appear in the world again in the short term."
The Taoist Master also nodded and said, "According to Senior Brother Huang, the thing is like this. On the night of the accident in the mansion, his body and the main spirit were destroyed together. For some unknown reason, he still had a ray of spirit left. That night
Obsessed with saving Brother Zhuge, the wisp spirit attached itself to the eldest sister, who has a strong psychic ability, hoping to tell her the secret through dreams. However, she did not expect that the eldest sister went to the temple to seek a magical weapon for protection, blocking the two of them.
Because of the spiritual connection between the two, when we finally took away the eldest sister’s magical weapon, Senior Brother Huang poured out his last spirit and appeared directly.”
"So, Senior Brother Huang is completely gone now?" Qin Yin said in disbelief.
"Probably not," Xia Hua analyzed. "If Huang Zhi's spirit had disappeared, this eldest sister would not have been affected by such strong emotions just now."
"Then Senior Brother Huang is..."
"I think that Senior Brother Huang's spirit has not completely disappeared, but has been temporarily hidden as usual. However, the spirit is already very weak and may disappear once it appears again," the Taoist priest said.
"Then don't let him come out," Qin Yin said hurriedly, "Let's take a rest first."
Luo Jiutian lamented, "But even if this is the case, I probably won't be able to hold on for long..."
"Not necessarily," the Taoist priest looked at Luo Jiutian with a mysterious look, "If someone who specializes in matters of life and death can appear, maybe he can save Senior Brother Huang's spirit."
