Chapter 769: Shen Lingyue (2)
"It's a water ghost."
Hearing Ning Huanxin's words, Shen Lingyue suddenly raised her head and looked at her, whispering something.
She obviously knew this very well.
"That day, I was dragged into the water by the water ghost. She wanted to find a substitute so that she could leave here, and I... was trapped here."
Shen Lingyue said, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she looked at Ning Huanxin: "Is it because of this that I will be trapped here forever?"
Ning Huanxin: ...
Such a cute little ghost girl, why do I think she is so adorable?
The so-called ghost looking for a substitute actually has its own rules.
Most people will be taken away by ghosts directly after they die, but there are two types of people who will be trapped in the world of the living for a period of time after they die.
The first type of people are those who commit suicide. Legend has it that those who commit suicide are punished by heaven for not cherishing their lives. After death, their souls will constantly repeat the way they died at the place where they died. This is the punishment from Hades for them for not cherishing their lives.
During this period, some ghosts could not bear the pain of repeating their death every day, so the concept of substitute came into being.
They lure and trick others into dying in their place so that they don't have to repeat "dying" every day.
The second type of souls that will be trapped in the world of the living are those who died unjustly.
Some people clearly have not yet reached the end of their life span, but still die in vain due to various accidents. Their souls will be trapped in the world of the living, and because of their life span, they cannot enter the underworld or enter the cycle of reincarnation.
There are only two ways for such a lonely ghost to be liberated. The first is to endure until the day when his life span ends, and then a ghost will naturally take him to the underworld.
The second type is harming people.
Harming others will shorten one's lifespan. If they continue to harm others, they can reduce their own lifespan as quickly as possible and enter the cycle of reincarnation sooner.
In the mortal world, this phenomenon is also called a ghost looking for a substitute.
As for Shen Lingyue's current condition, her soul is just sunk to the bottom of the lake and she cannot leave this area. She does not repeat the process of drowning every day, so what she met should be the ghost of the wronged death.
"You are still here, is it because... you also have not yet reached the end of your life?"
Ning Huanxin suddenly asked.
A person's life span is predetermined by fate.
Many accidents are destined to happen, so not everyone who dies in an accident will become a ghost of unjust death.
In fact, there are very few people in the world who die before their life span is up.
Just like Yang Feng, he also died in this lake, but his soul had disappeared long ago, leaving the world of the living and entering the underworld, because he was destined to have this disaster and his life span had come to an end!
But Shen Lingyue...
Hearing Ning Huanxin's words, Shen Lingyue was stunned for a moment.
"My life span is not over yet?"
She glanced at Ning Huanxin, then burst out laughing again: "So what if my life span has not yet ended? I am already dead and cannot return to the world of the living. Even leaving here has become a luxury."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If Shen Lingyue was really trapped in this lake before her death, then in the WeChat task she received, the so-called "stand-in" was Shen Lingyue? She was obviously killed by the wronged ghost and became a stand-in.
Now the original water ghost has left here and reincarnated, but she is trapped here.
Shen Lingyue, who is trapped here, cannot enter the underworld and cannot reincarnate, unless...
"Yang Feng, did you kill him?"
