After welcoming back Jing Zhao's body, white mourning banners were hung inside and outside the Jing's family mansion, and a mourning hall was set up in the mansion, where relatives and relatives cried for the funeral.
Whether it was the eldest son of the Jing family who was above the temple or the two elder brothers who had traveled far away in the rivers and lakes, they all rushed back to the mansion after hearing the news of Jing Zhao's passing.
Jing's first daughter died, and Jing's mansion was full of mourning. The head of the Jing family and the mistress, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the Jing's mistress even fainted from crying.
The Jing family in Luoyang has a prominent reputation. The main family handles funeral affairs, and there are few pedestrians on the street.
Street vendors, jugglers, and geisha are usually seen once in ten steps, but now they are all closed, and the wide streets are deserted and desolate.
"The sun is out." Shen Sinian was wrapped in a black cloak, holding an umbrella in his hand and holding it above the head of the person in front of him. Seeing her look of bewilderment, he couldn't help saying: "Do you regret it?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhao turned to look at him, shook his head and said, "I don't regret it, I just feel ashamed of my father and mother's kindness in nurturing me."
When mentioning his mother, Jing Zhao paused, then raised his head and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Si Nian, my mother..."
"There's no need to say any more." Before Jing Zhao finished speaking, Shen Si Nian interrupted her, and then embraced her with one hand, with unspeakable regret and joy in his deep eyes.
"You didn't apologize to me, don't say these three words to me again in the future."
*
One day ago, Jing Zhao's coffin was passing by the foot of Yanshan Mountain, and happened to bump into Shen Si Nian who was waiting for his soul to dissipate there.
The moment he saw Jing Zhao's corpse, he was overwhelmed by shock, regret, and grief, and the soul of Shen Si Nian stayed in Jing Zhao's coffin and refused to leave.
He saw the bruises on her neck caused by the white silk, and he didn't even dare to reach out to touch her. He didn't dare to imagine how painful she would be before she died.
Obviously... such a weak person.
Shen Sinian was experiencing the greatest despair in his life, if Jing Zhao's soul hadn't suddenly appeared to call him, he would probably hold her body until the moment he dissipated.
Zhang De died without becoming a ghost.
So Shen Sinian didn't dare to hope that Jing Zhao would become like himself after death, so the moment he saw her, he was so surprised that he couldn't believe it.
It's just that she was wearing a white spiritual attire at this time, and the bruises on her neck were exactly the same as those on the corpse in the coffin.
He stroked her with heartache, and tremblingly asked her, "Why are you so stupid? Why did you hang yourself?"
Jing Zhao just looked at him with guilt on his face: "Because I am ashamed of Brother Si Nian, Zhao Zhao has no face to live in the world."
What a silly girl, Shen Sinian's heart was filled with unspeakable grief, he clearly wanted her to live a good life, what good would it do to be a ghost like him.
Under the snow-covered mountains, two empty figures hug each other tightly.
Shen Sinian doesn't want Jing Zhao to be a ghost with him, even if she can be with him after becoming a ghost.
But Jing Zhao felt that after becoming a ghost, she felt very at ease. She no longer had to be put on the shelf because of illness as before. She couldn't do any of the joyful things that ordinary people can do. When she got sick, she would stay in bed for several months. , Take more medicine than food.
Now that I am a ghost, I can go wherever I want, except when the sun is shining brightly and I need to hide, other times I am very free and happy.
Jing Zhao and Shen Sinian went back to Luoyang City together, her funeral was still being held in the mansion, she originally wanted to go into the mansion to have a look, but just approaching the Jing Mansion, a strong golden light emanated from the huge house to block her out.
Regarding this, Shen Si Nian, who has been a ghost for some time, said: "The Jing family is a century-old family. This place is very popular, and it is difficult for ghosts and evils to invade, so they keep us out."
Shen Sinian thought that Jing Zhao wanted to go back to visit his parents, and seeing her lonely eyes, he did not forget to add: "Let's wait here for a few days, they... will always come out."
Unable to enter Jing's residence, Jing Zhao could only temporarily let go of the idea of visiting relatives, and then noticed that the state of Shen Si Nian who had been with her all the time seemed not right.
Obviously they are all soul bodies, but she reached out to touch him just now but missed the space.
"Brother Si Nian, your body..." Jing Zhao looked at his body under the cloak in a panic, almost blending with the surrounding vegetation, as if there was only a breath of breath left to support him.
Shen Sinian knew the condition of his body a long time ago. His soul body was not stable. He sacrificed most of the power of his soul body in order to disguise himself as a human being and take care of Jing Zhao. Seeing Jing Zhao, that's why I forcibly supported until now.
"Zhao Zhao, don't cry." Shen Sinian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes distressedly.
Jing Zhao reached out to hold his hand, "Brother Si Nian, don't leave Zhao Zhao again, okay?"
Why did Shen Sinian want to leave her, but... no, maybe there is a way.
People at that time advocated Taoism, and there were many Taoist priests hidden in the city in folk places. They usually inferred fate, calculated, and surveyed faces.
There are several famous Taoist priests in Luoyang City.
Too famous, Shen Sinian didn't plan to take anyone with him, he was afraid that the other party would have the ability to see through their ghost bodies, and punishing them as demons would not be worth the loss.
He took Jing Zhao to visit a few small Taoist priests' houses, and when he went to the first Taoist priest's house, he didn't expect to bump into the little Taoist priest coming in.
But this Taoist priest is probably incapable, so he didn't find them at all.
When Jing Zhao and the others were about to look for books in peace, the door was opened again, and this time a woman in gorgeous clothes still retained her charm.
As soon as the woman came in, the Taoist rushed to greet her, and the two quickly rolled into a ball on the couch in the room, performing a shameful affair.
Jing Zhao stared blankly, and soon his eyes were covered by a pair of big hands, and the owner of the hands said in an unnaturally flustered voice, "Zhao Zhao, don't look at evil."
"Brother Si Nian... what are they doing..." Jing Zhao asked with a confused expression.
Shen Sinian's ears were red, obviously the ghost was not breathing, but he felt that he was a little out of breath.
"They...they... are doing the London ceremony."
As soon as the words came out, Shen Sinian felt very ashamed, and was afraid of spoiling the people around him, so he hurriedly led them away from the place.
After that, the two went to the residence of other little Taoist priests, and they simply did not encounter the same embarrassing thing as before. They also tacitly did not mention the little Taoist priest and the woman before.
After wandering around the houses of those Taoist priests, Shen Sinian really found a few books about gods and ghosts.
When Shen Sinian was rummaging through the books in the house, Jing Zhao was still a little nervous, because she had never done such a thing as casually entering other people's houses.
So he stood by the door with a dull expression, looking outside the door from time to time, like a person who stands by the door when stealing.
Shen Sinian picked out all the books that might be useful, and when he turned around, he saw Jing Zhao's face as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He suddenly felt a little funny, and subconsciously laughed.
Jing Zhao was stunned by his smile, and couldn't help but say, "It's been a long time since I saw Brother Si Nian smile!"
Shen Si Nian was also taken aback when he heard the words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, but the emotions in his heart were still there, the burden, resentment and sorrow that had been burdened for many days seemed to disappear, this moment was unprecedentedly relaxed.
He didn't know what their future would be, but he felt extremely happy to be with her at this moment.
Floating to Jing Zhao's side in an instant, Shen Sinian took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here."
They returned to Yanshan Biezhuang and sat on the rockery in the garden of the courtyard. There was a rare bright moon tonight, and the soft moonlight poured into the frozen pond like white clouds.
Jing Zhao sits on a rockery, looking up at the moon. She seldom enjoys the scenery leisurely. It is a luxury to go out at night when she is alive, let alone sit on a rockery and watch the moon. I feel very happy, never happy before.
Sitting next to her, Shen Si Nian studied the books he had borrowed from those bull-nosed Taoist priests by the moonlight.
Those Taoist priests really don’t know what they are capable of, but the books in their collection are almost the same. Talking about life and physiology, the way of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, it seems that they are talking nonsense in a serious manner.
Shen Si Nian is very serious in trying.
He thinks that human writing about ghosts and gods is bizarre and absurd, but there are many wonders in the world. Since he and Zhaozhao can exist in this world, it proves that the foundation of these books is correct.
It is said in the book that ghosts and gods exist in the world, and they need to borrow energy from heaven and earth to continue their own bodies, and this energy...
When ghosts are overcast, the aura of moonlight in Zishi is very suitable. Shen Sinian followed the method mentioned in the book to understand the way of heaven and earth. Gradually, it seemed that he had forgotten everything around him and immersed himself in a mysterious and mysterious realm. .
Jing Zhao, who was sitting next to Shen Sinian, could only see countless flying fluorescent spots coming from all directions, gathering around him, spinning and gathering until they sank into his body.
With the passage of time, Shen Si Nian's originally empty to almost transparent body began to become solid, even more "solid" than Jing Zhao, the new ghost.
The number of flying fireflies became less and less, and Shen Sinian also opened his eyes in an instant, as if there was a moonlight in his eyes.
He looked down at the palm of his hand, his five fingers spread out and then clenched into a fist. It was very different from the feeling of nothingness that he could barely feel before. He felt that he was full of strength now.
Jing Zhao stared at him curiously, and called out, "Brother Si Nian?"
"Zhao Zhao." Shen Sinian responded to her in surprise, and said in a slightly excited tone: "I think my guess is right, we should be able to practice."
He was afraid that Jing Zhao didn't understand the meaning of cultivation, so he explained: "Cultivation means that we can strengthen ourselves by absorbing the power of the world, so that we can always exist in this world and will not dissipate."
"It's like this." Shen Sinian showed Jing Zhao the book he had just experimented with, "Zhao Zhao, try it."
The characters in the book were obscure and hard to understand. Although Jing Zhao also read and practiced calligraphy, Shen Si Nian still explained his understanding to her.
Then Jing Zhao began to try to communicate with heaven and earth according to the method Shen Sinian taught herself, but she couldn't attract Yingying like him.
Jing Zhao tried for a long time, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes and shook her head at the expectant Shen Si Nian.
Shen Sinian couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he still comforted Jing Zhao, "It's okay, Zhao Zhao, it might just be that this method doesn't suit you, I'll try something else."
The whole night was spent by Shen Sinian and Jing Zhao's constant attempts, but the result was that Shen Sinian learned a lot of magic tricks, and even restored the frozen river to its flowing state, but there was no movement on Jing Zhao's side.
The spells mentioned in the book are actually not very correct, but the general direction has been established, and Shen Sinian himself has always been smart, so he knows how to use the borrowed energy with a slight turn of his mind.
But Jing Zhao was directly blocked at the first step of borrowing energy. Even if Shen Si Nian was used as an intermediary to help her extradite, the anger dissipated on her within a short while, and could not be retained at all. Shen Si Nian vaguely Zhong seemed to have noticed something, but he was afraid to say the result of his guess.
He only destroyed those books, then pretended nothing happened, and said to Jing Zhao: "I heard that Xiangliu is a place where Taoism flourishes, and there must be more useful things there than in Luoyang, Zhaozhao, let's go to Xiangliu! "
Jing Zhao agreed, no matter where he went, as long as he was with him.
Xiangliu was far away from Luoyang, and although the two were ghosts, they hadn't been able to escape from the sky, so they hitchhiked along the way.
When they left Luoyang, they were riding in an ox cart driven by an old man, who also took his granddaughter with him.
The two sat in the front and drove, completely unaware that there were two ghosts sitting on the straw-covered car floor behind them.
Shen Si Nian has long since ceased to be afraid of the sun, but Jing Zhao cannot appear in the twilight sun, so even if she is a ghost, she is like a woman who has not left the court, wearing a fence, and the long black curtain hangs down, blocking the sun .
Shen Si Nian has read all kinds of rivers in the book, but Jing Zhao rarely sees the beauty of this country, and he is much more lively and active than usual.
After staying for half a day, the old men went to a tea house on Yicun Road and stopped to buy tea, and Jing Zhao and the others got out of the car.
Inside the tea house, there is a steamer emitting white smoke from the kitchen stove. The old man bought a rice ball for his granddaughter. Jing Zhao had never seen it cooked like this before, and felt that the smell was strange, so he went to smell it.
Immediately after taking a bite of the rice ball, the little girl wearing a flowered jacket with two braids on her face complained to the old man with an aggrieved face: "Grandpa, this time the rice **** are tasteless and not sweet at all! "
The grandfather didn't believe it, so he took a sip himself, but he didn't expect it to be really tasteless, so he immediately went to the shop selling rice **** to ask for an explanation.
And Jing Zhao, who knew that he had accidentally done something bad, was dragged away by Shen Si Nian long ago, and the two of them walked together on a wide carriageway.
The sun was setting and there was no wind or snow, Jing Zhao raised a corner of the fence and said to the people around him, "It would be great if we could always be like this with Shen Lang."
Hearing the words, Shen Sinian thought, and said, "We will definitely, we will always be together."
Jing Zhao turned his head slightly and smiled softly at him, and then the two continued walking, but on the way, the man always looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, and the smile on his face never faded.
Jing Zhao curiously asked him what he was laughing at, and Shen Sinian replied, "It was probably the first time Zhao Zhao called me Shen Lang."
