Reincarnation Prep

Chapter 40

The meandering Nanchuan water, bright and dark green forest end.

The car drove for about half an hour, and pulled over at an intersection, and then the door was opened, and a tall boy in a short flight suit and sweatpants got into the car, looked up and found that there was no place in the car However, he did not choose to get out of the car to sit in the co-pilot, he took off the mahogany sword that was carried behind his back, and sat directly on the ground.

He just raised his head like this, his handsome cheeks were covered with a layer of frost, but a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were raised slightly, he looked at the car of ghosts coldly, finally his eyes fell on Lin Yu, and then he sneered "Lin Yu? So you're dead too, tsk, you really deserve it."

"Hey, how do you talk?" Luo Xinxian said.

"I'm talking about the ghost behind you, not about you, why? Is he dumb and can't speak? You want to question me for him? Or do you want to stand up for him? Before you speak, you have to see if you have the ability , You are a ghost." The boy stood the mahogany sword in front of him, his eyes were still looking at Lin Yu, and there was even obvious hatred in his eyes.

"I said your mouth is really poisonous." Luo Xinxian was about to stand up as he said that, just as the car started, inertia caused him to sit down again.

Seeing that Luo Xinxian was forced to sit back, the boy snorted coldly, completely ignoring him.

Juliet was not happy, no matter why this person came up and said that Lin Yu deserved it, but in front of the four ghosts, she really couldn't stand it, she immediately stood up and scolded him As soon as he straightened up, Lin Yu held down his shoulders.

Lin Yu looked at the boy sitting in the carriage in front of him, as if he was organizing his words or sorting out his emotions. The carriage was quiet for a few seconds, and then Lin Yu said, "Long time no see, Wu Xuandu."

Wu Xuandu sneered and said, "Oh, it's rare that Lawyer Lin still remembers me. I thought that after you helped that bastard Zhang Daoxian win the lawsuit, you would reach the sky in one step, and you wouldn't remember me and other unknown people."

Lin Yu smiled and said: "There is no need to be self-effacing. You are the grandson of Daoist Wu. You are talented and intelligent. You will become a great weapon in the future. You are not some unknown person."

"Do I still have to thank you for your kind words?" Wu Xuandu said angrily.

Lin Yu still whispered softly: "There is no need to thank you. I hope we can cooperate well in this mission."

Wu Xuan was not happy with Lin Yu like this, and opened his mouth to scold: "Cooperate with your mother—"

Gu Nanchuan finally spoke out. He sat upright, looked down at Wu Xuandu indifferently, and said coldly: "Wu Xuandu, don't forget that we accepted this task because you asked for the Preparatory Academy. If you Don't feel bad, we can go back now and bring a new batch of missionaries to see if they can help you."

"I—" Wu Xuan knew Gu Nanchuan, but he only knew that this person's name was Qing Lin, and he was a relatively powerful ghost in the preparatory courtyard. Before that, he had no idea that there was Lin Yu in this group of ghosts. .

If it weren't for Lin Yu, Zhang Daoxian's small building might have been demolished long ago, so there would be no troublesome things, and his sweetheart wouldn't be trapped there.

"I see." Wu Xuan has a bad temper, but he also understands what is the most important thing in front of him, as long as he swallows his anger and cooperates with them first to solve the matter completely, he will settle the score with Lin Yu alone.

Lin Yu felt that he and Wu Xuan had no grievances at all. It was just that he went to Daoist Wu to calculate Gu Nanchuan's fate. Can't see anything else.Lin Yu felt that Daoist Wu was unreliable and just responded with a rant. He thought that the money was spent, but he said nothing to him. How could he not be angry? It happened that Wu Xuandu saw it at the time, and the two argued. A few words, what eloquence does Lin Yu have, Wu Xuan is no match for him, and he is speechless after being stunned, this is considered to be a worry.

"Hey, how do you know this Taoist leader?" Lin Yu didn't care about Wu Xuandu's fierce gaze at all, he approached Qing Lin and asked.

"We met by chance, only once." Gu Nanchuan didn't want to explain clearly how he and Wu Xuan knew each other, these words were obviously perfunctory for Lin Yu.

"Oh." Lin Yu didn't really care how he and Wu Xuan met, but just wanted to find an excuse to chat.He looked at Wu Xuandu, who had his neck stuck and looked angry, and asked, "You just called me what I deserved, because I helped Zhang Dao win the lawsuit first, so that his small building was not demolished, and finally became The ashes that are now appalling?"

Wu Xuandu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, if it wasn't for you—"

"If it wasn't for me, there would be someone else." Lin Yu laughed: "So Zhang Daoxian is to blame for the small building becoming what it is now? If so, I can accept the causal relationship. If not, why blame me? I I'm a lawyer, I'm just helping people with lawsuits, what's wrong with me?"

Wu Xuandu said: "You took his money, you became famous because of this case, and you became one of the top lawyers in Nancheng at a young age, why are you not wrong?"

Lin Yudao: "Lawyers collect money for lawsuits, and a good lawsuit is a step up. What's wrong with that? Brother, you are too naive."

"you!"

Gu Nanchuan knew that Lin Yu would never suffer from his words, but seeing that Wu Xuan was about to get angry, he instinctively wanted to protect Lin Yu, and with him around, no one could say that Lin Yu was bad.

"Wu Xuandu, it's too emotional for you to criticize at this time. Do you understand the cause and effect? ​​For you Taoists, you shouldn't say things that are uncertain."

Wu Xuandu stared at Gu Nanchuan firmly, turned his head to the side angrily, his eyes were a little red, and he murmured: "If the person you love is trapped there, would you still be so calm?"

The carriage is not big, and everyone could hear Wu Xuandu's murmurs clearly. After a brief silence, Gu Nanchuan said: "If it were me, I wouldn't let him have the chance to be trapped."

But it depends on the circumstances, Gu Nanchuan added in his heart, when performing the mission, he didn't want himself to care too much about Lin Yu's safety.

Because Lin Yu needs to take risks and take the initiative to solve the problem, so that Lin Yu will get more blessings in the end. He is selfish, and he hopes that the blessings of the entire mission will be best for Lin Yu. is impossible.

"Blow it, who do you think you are? You're just a ghost." Wu Xuandu snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

The car drove all the way north and stopped at the gate of Shuimolinxi. A group of people got out of the car and stood in front of the gate of the dilapidated unfinished building full of weeds.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the night at the end of March was still chilly, and the surroundings were eerie. Occasionally, the sound brought by the cold wind could be heard, which was amplified infinitely in this too quiet night, and the ghosts shivered instantly, except for Gu Nanchuan and Wu Xuandu.

"Fuck, it's so cold, there can't be ghosts here." Juliet hid behind Lin Yu and Luo Xinxian, only showing one head to watch the movement around.

"You're a ghost, what are you afraid of?" Luo Xinxian said angrily, but in fact he was also a little scared, this place is really much colder than the previous mission location.

Wu Xuandu has always been venomous. He glanced at the trembling Juliet with disgust, and sarcastically said, "It's normal for people to be afraid of ghosts, but it's unreasonable to be afraid of ghosts, right? Or are you all cowardly, and you can only be a fool when you die?" coward?"

"Shut up, why did you open your mouth when you are a handsome guy?" Juliet could not walk when she saw a handsome guy, but Wu Xuandu really hated him, and she would sarcastically say anything when she caught sight of a handsome guy. , I guess no one likes it.

Wu Xuandu looked her up and down as if he had just seen Juliet, and said with a sneer, "Chasing men to death? Scum girl, why do I think you look so familiar, have you seen you somewhere?"

"It's none of your business!" Juliet was angry, it was the first time she was so popular after being a ghost, and immediately sacrificed the Horcrux.

"Scum girl, binding a Horcrux is useless to a living person like me." Wu Xuandu said.

"Can you two stop arguing, this mission hasn't started yet, we're fighting among ourselves first, how can we solve the problem?" Lin Yu acted as a peacemaker, because he found out that as long as others are not targeting him, Gu Nanchuan will not make a sound If you want to stop it, then you can only come forward yourself.

Of course Wu Xuandu disapproved of Lin Yu, but because of Qinglin's presence, he had no choice but to shut up and lead a group of ghosts inside: "I've been here a few times, you follow me, the eight directions of the ashes building are soul-locked." The stakes are laid out into a formation, ghosts can enter but cannot get out, and if they get close to the formation, their souls will be burned, and in severe cases, they will even be scattered. You are all ghosts, so you better be careful."

"That's strange, those resentful souls who were suppressed in the columbarium can't come out, can't cause trouble, why are there so many people missing?" Luo Xinxian asked puzzled.

"They have already come out of the columbarium, but they can't leave the range of the soul-locking pile. Their souls can't come out, but their resentment can seduce the workers on the construction site, the residents of the next-door neighborhood who accidentally pass by here, and even A college student who is not afraid of death and comes here to take risks." When Wu Xuandu said college students, his tone was very heavy, obviously angry.

"So the thing that suppressed them before is gone, or the person who suppressed them is gone?" Lin Yu analyzed.

Wu Xuandu said: "I don't know for now, but according to what I know, Zhang Daoxian, who would come here every day, suddenly stopped showing up one day, and then there were successive cases of missing persons, which lasted for more than a year."

"Then this place has only recently become an unfinished building?" Juliet looked around, the unfinished wall looked extraordinarily cold and creepy in the dark, she couldn't help walking behind Lin Yu again, not even afraid of death Go to Qinglin.

"Nearly [-] people have disappeared in a row. Which developer dares to continue? Even if this kind of place is built, it is estimated that it will not be sold. I can only admit that I am unlucky and stop the loss in time." Luo Xinxian said.

Wu Xuandu led them to turn to the back of a building, and then continued along the path between the two buildings behind.

"It's a problem that can't be solved for more than a year. No wonder it's a five-star rating. It's probably super difficult." Juliet said worriedly.

"When I first came here, I couldn't break in at all. I was too resentful. I used everything from talismans to mahogany swords. In the end, if it weren't for the magic weapon of our Wu family to save my life, I probably would have become here too. One of the resentful souls." Even though Wu Xuandu has always been a proud person, he had to admit that he was shocked at that time, and he continued: "Later, I went home and begged in front of my grandfather, who is a Taoist priest in this area of ​​Nancheng. , Of course I will take care of it, but I didn't expect that even grandpa was helpless, and in the end grandpa was injured.

However, Grandpa has no intention of giving up, and has been contacting powerful Taoist priests from various places for the past few days to come and solve the problem together.

But I can't wait, Fang Jichen has been missing for five days since today, he is trapped inside alone, alive or dead, if something happens, I..."

"I will spend my whole life in regret." Wu Xuandu suddenly choked up.

Juliet's desire to gossip ignited again, and she just wanted to open her mouth to ask Wu Xuandu, who is Fang Jichen, but when she got to her mouth, she felt that it was too bad, after all, Wu Xuandu looked really sad.Forget it, you will know if you save people.

Lin Yu took a step behind, tugged at Gu Nanchuan's sleeve, and asked, "You tell me the truth, did Wu Xuan find the preparatory academy?"

"Yes." Gu Nanchuan replied without changing his expression.

Lin Yu did not suspect him: "Oh, then tell me when and how did you know Wu Xuandu? Just now in the car Wu Xuandu looked at you obviously differently, you should have contacted a long time ago, Did he find the preparatory academy, or did he find you directly? Qinglin."

"Lin Yu, you have too many questions." Gu Nanchuan shook his head helplessly and chuckled. The cold wind was blowing all around, except for the sound of footsteps, there was only the occasional rustling of movements. Gu Nanchuan suddenly felt that he was being treated Lin Yu seemed to be too cold. He wanted to stay with him in his heart, but he always ignored him in words. Would this hurt Lin Yu's heart too?

Gu Nanchuan stopped suddenly, and reached out to grab Lin Yu's hand. Lin Yu's body had no temperature.

But Gu Nanchuan did, his big dry and warm hand grasped Lin Yu's hand weakly, then put it down again, turned his head and looked down, and asked, "Are you cold?"

Lin Yu was stunned. He never thought that Qinglin would come to hold his hand. Although the time was too short, he still felt the temperature of Qinglin's palm, which was infinitely magnified in his soul, as if to Burning his entire soul at this moment, this feeling has been gone for a long time. It was more than ten years ago when Gu Nanchuan held his hand in the cold winter night, asked him if he was cold, and hugged him without waiting for his answer. When he fell into his arms, the excitement and uncontrollable feelings of the first hug made him dizzy, just like at this moment.

"What did you say?"

"It's too windy at night, I'm afraid you'll be cold." Gu Nanchuan replied calmly.

Naturally, Lin Yu couldn't feel the cold. He only felt hot now, from his soul to his body. He also felt that his heart was beating so fast.

But he raised his hand and touched his chest, no matter how many times he couldn't feel his heartbeat, he looked at Qinglin with tender but firm eyes, and asked, "I'm cold, what do you want to do?"

Gu Nanchuan took Lin Yu's hand again, and drew a spell on his hand. The pattern only flashed a cold light, and then fell into Lin Yu's soul. Gu Nanchuan let go of Lin Yu's hand, and said to him : "Okay, even if you use this body to stay in the cold night for a week, you won't have any problems."

In fact, Lin Yu disappeared without seeing what the spell looked like at all, but he knew that the flashing picture was different from the one he drew in Hujia Village last time.

But he always felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but his intuition told him that the charm could not simply make him not afraid of the cold.

Lin Yu lowered his head and touched the hand that could still feel the heat, and was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and smiled to Qing Lin, "Thank you."

Juliet, who was walking in front of them, was forced to listen to the whole process. Although she didn't think it was an ambiguous matter, it didn't seem like a joke when Lin Yu said that she wanted to pay Gu Nanchuan with her flesh. She took two steps forward to catch up with Luo Xinxian and whispered. asked, "Are you afraid of the cold?"

"Ah? Why is a ghost afraid of the cold, and why are you so hypocritical?" Luo Xinxian asked.

"It's not me, it's the two behind." Juliet pointed to Qing Lin and Lin Yu who followed behind, and said, "They have been gesticulating for a long time, and they are still holding hands. I'll go, they won't be really good Come on."

Luo Xinxian shook his head, it's impossible to get back together so quickly, but if Qinglin is Gu Nanchuan, then Qinglin must be just like Lin Yu because he can't let go of each other and will stay here forever. Ten years is a long time, and they are still here. It's great to be able to love each other, but he really hopes that Qinglin is Gu Nanchuan, then Lin Yu's ten years of waiting are not in vain.

"Let's go, don't gossip."

"Oh." Juliet still wanted to wait for Lin Yu and Qing Lin, after all, they were safer around them, but being a light bulb was too intrusive, so she had to follow Luo Xinxian.

The two people in the back tacitly stopped talking, and quickened their pace to catch up with the people in front. A group of ghosts and one person stopped between two abandoned buildings. The only light in the sky lived, and in the middle of these unfinished buildings, the eerie small building that looked like an abyss appeared in the field of vision, making people shudder.

Wu Xuandu took out a talisman and threw it into the air, and then the talisman touched something in the air, and it exploded instantly, and then a huge formation appeared in front of them, extending from eight directions to the ashes. The roof of the ashes covered the entire space, and only then did they see clearly what the roof of the columbarium looked like. It was a huge black mist that shot straight into the sky, and within such a large black mist, , with countless twisted and terrifying grimaces, struggling and roaring to rush out of the black mist, but still unable to break free.

"Are those wraiths?" Juliet took two steps back in horror, covering her mouth with her hands, for fear that she would cry out in fright.

Wu Xuandu nodded: "It's the ghosts who were suppressed in this columbarium. They can't get out, they can only gather on the roof, where the radiating edge of the soul-locking pile is the weakest place. Even so, they can't escape. If you don’t come out, this soul-locking pile is really too strong.”

"The resentment is too great." Lin Yu kept staring at the black mist. The black mist at the top seemed to have turned a corner, but it was too dark to see where the resentment went.

"Actually, the soul-locking stake is easy to pull out, but it requires eight Taoist priests to stand in eight directions to pull it out at the same time, but—"

"But it can't be taken for the time being, and the resentful spirits can't leave here." Gu Nanchuan said: "It's a trivial matter to take the soul lock post, the most important thing now is to collect the resentful spirits and rescue those imprisoned humans, I hope they are still alive. "

"Alive, at least Fang Jichen is still alive." Wu Xuandu silently pressed his hand on his chest. There was a piece of rough jade falling there. When picking up this piece of jade, he accidentally cut his finger and stained it. By accident, this drop of blood was locked inside by Wu Xuandu's spell, and it became the only evidence that Fang Jichen was still alive at this time.

Lin Yu could tell that Wu Xuan was very anxious. He had heard the name Fang Jichen twice, and each time he was tender and tender but extremely scared. It was probably because this person was too important to him that he would not hesitate to All of them contacted the preparatory hospital and asked them to deal with this terrifying columbarium.

"Then since you're still alive, go in and rescue him." Lin Yu could feel Wu Xuandu's feelings because he had experienced the separation of life and death. Impossible.

"Just go in like this?" Juliet looked at the big brother among them - Qinglin.

Gu Nanchuan didn't answer, but raised his feet and walked into the formation, passing through the edge of the formation like a spider's web, he turned his head and said to the other ghosts: "Come in, you can't die."

Lin Yu followed closely behind, and death is definitely inevitable, but according to Wu Xuandu, once the ghost enters, it cannot come out. When they finish dealing with the wraiths in the columbarium, it is estimated that the Taoist priests will have to pull them out. Only the soul-locking pile can go out.

Luo Xinxian and Juliet also followed in, and Wu Xuandu was the last. When they all walked into the formation, the spider webs all over the sky disappeared instantly, and they could no longer be seen. It was as if they had walked into a normal world. In the space, the surroundings are still tall, gray and ruined unfinished buildings, and nothing has changed.

But if they go to the edge as ghosts, they will be blocked by the formation of the soul-locking pile, and they will never be able to get out again.

The surroundings of the ashes building are flat and empty, unlike the unfinished building, which is surrounded by half-person-high weeds. There is no life and no living plants here.

The door on the first floor of the columbarium was open, and there was a destroyed curse on the door. Wu Xuandu explained: "The door is the first restriction, and there is a second restriction at the door of the room on each floor. I don't know, I'm ashamed to say, I only entered the first floor and was kicked out, I don't know what's going on upstairs.

But fifteen of the eighteen rooms on the first floor are open, and the remaining three are closed. I didn't look carefully at the forbidden spell on it. I don't know if it is the original one, or it was destroyed and repainted. "

"You'll know when you go in and have a look." Lin Yu raised the Wuxue sword and pointed at the front door.

Wu Xuandu looked at the short sword in Lin Yu's hand. Although it lacked momentum, the slight cold light emitted from the sword was enough to show the power of the short sword.He looked at some seal characters engraved on the body of the sword exuding cold light. He knew seal characters, and was forced to learn by his grandfather since he was a child. Out of curiosity, he turned his head and glanced. The end of the sword body connected to the hilt reads The words "Wuxue Sword" followed Lin Yu's wrist, and the sword turned in a different direction, revealing the other side. Two lines of characters were engraved on this side, which read:

——The meandering Nanchuan water, bright and dark green forest end.

The author says:

Wu Xuandu: Tell you to brag, let's see if you slap your face.
