Liu Yiyi floated above Mihael, "What kind of formation is this?"

She couldn't understand it, but she felt that the pattern on the tissue looked like a flower.

Oh, it was originally copied from a jade carving.

Mihael took out the elementary book on ghost cultivation that Yan Jun had given him at the beginning.

The book had some torn pages, and on one of the pages, there was only a formation diagram and no text introduction.

He turned to this page, "Yes, this is the formation. Because this page was a fragment, I only took a quick look at it and didn't study it in depth."

Michal found Yan Jun and asked her for advice.

Yan Jun: "This formation is used to imprison the soul."

Michal: "Then how can I break this formation?"

Yan Jun: "It is precisely because of this formation that Liu Yiyi's soul has been able to exist for so many years. If this formation is broken, her soul may be shattered."

Mihael looked at Liu Yiyi who was standing beside him, "How about this formation not be broken?"

Liu Yiyi put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't want to. I don't want to be restricted to wandering around the hairpin all the time. I also want to be able to move around."

Mihael could only look at Yan Jun, "Is there no other way?"

Yan Jun nodded, "Of course there is, take this."

Michal looked at the freshly-arrived book with a brown leather cover.

Michal held the book, "What is this?"

Yan Jun: "All the formations above are about the soul. There are many kinds of formations, such as those that imprison the soul, nourish the soul, and repair the soul. There is a formation that can keep the soul from dispersing, but I won't tell you which one it is. Just try them one by one!"

Michal: ...

In fact, isn't it just to make him master every kind of formation?

Why do you have to torment him every time? Why can't you just teach him? Mihael glanced at Yan Jun with resentment, then went back to his room to study the formation.

Lin Jinzhi was puzzled, "Why do you want to do this? Can't you just teach him directly?"

Yan Jun sighed, "What he learned is not like the knowledge we learn. When people learn something, they will forget it even if they have learned it. Only if he has worked hard to come up with it, he will remember it clearly."

One thing that has not been mentioned is that the way of ghost cultivation is only found in the world of immortals and heroes.

There had never been a ghost cultivator in this world before, and Mihaly had no seniors who could teach him by example.

And she hoped that after Michal learned the most basic knowledge of ghost cultivation, he could explore the next path on his own.

Yan Jun: "I don't expect him to create a sect like the people in the TV series, but he has to be like those ancestors and be able to create his own skills."

Lin Jinzhi couldn't wrap her head around it, "I don't understand."

Jiang Li explained to Lin Jinzhi, "People at the top of the academic world are trying to solve a difficult problem that no one has solved before, and no one tells them what to do. They can only use their existing knowledge to find the right way to solve the problem."

…

On Saturday, Li Mei sent Jiang Li a funeral invitation.

When Jiang Li saw the funeral invitation letter saying that Li Mei's uncle had died, she comforted Li Mei and asked her to mourn her loss.

Lin Jinzhi looked at Jiang Li sending messages as if he were an idiot. "Li Mei's father is an only child, and her mother is also an only child. She doesn't have an uncle."

Jiang Li's hands trembled, "She doesn't have an uncle, so why did she say her uncle was dead?"

Is this Schrödinger's uncle?

Yan Jun looked at the frightened Jiang Li and said, "Friendly reminder, this uncle may not be a human."

Lin Jinzhi reacted, "It's a snake. Snakes are the animals she keeps the most. Li Mei's mother also keeps snakes. Maybe that snake is Li Mei's uncle."

Jiang Li looked at Yan Jun, and Yan Jun nodded to show his agreement with Lin Jinzhi's words.

Jiang Li thought it was outrageous, "How could someone regard an animal as an elder?"

Lin Jinzhi responded, "How can it be impossible? I regard plants as my elders and my brothers and sisters. If there are trees that are one year older than 19, I regard them as my elders, and the rest are my brothers and sisters."

When she is bored alone, she will use the leeks she grows, the garlic her brother grows, and the strawberry seedlings grown on the balcony, and then play house with a group of cross-species creatures.

Of course, she would not tell Jiang Li about playing house.

…

Li Mei's eyes turned red as she looked at the three women in black skirts opposite her.

"Now that you are here, thank you for respecting my uncle and wearing this outfit specially."

Jiang Li held the back of her head a little embarrassedly. To be honest, she had not planned to wear such dark clothes.

But the other two people changed their clothes, so she couldn’t not change too!

Li Mei specially invited a master to calculate that today was a suitable day for burial and also calculated when the burial should take place.

At 10:27, Li Mei stood in the open space outside the villa where she raised snakes, watching her uncle being buried in the ground by the servants.

The servant shoveled a shovel of dirt and poured it into the pit, onto the black snake's body that was coiled up into a disk.

That shovel of yellow soil covered most of the black in the pit, and Li Mei burst into tears when she saw this.

Jiang Li put his arm around Li Mei and patted her shoulder.

Li Mei cried and said, "Uncle Snake is the snake that has been with me the longest. He is my mother's favorite snake. He was left to me by my mother. He guarded my mother's prenuptial agreement for me. If it weren't for him, I might not even be able to get the Li family's company back."

When Jiang Li heard this, she suddenly felt that she was wrong in the morning.

Who says elders have to be human?

Look at Li Mei and her snake uncle, their relationship is not that of owner and pet.

Li Mei and Uncle Snake are relatives, and this kind of kinship transcends race.

Animals and plants just can't speak, but they have emotions just like humans.

After Uncle Snake was buried, Li Mei also erected a tombstone for him.

There were only two words "Uncle" engraved on the monument, as well as a black-and-white photo of a black snake spitting out its tongue.

Jiang Li looked at Li Mei, who was lying on the sofa, very sad.

Jiang Li: "Where's your boyfriend? Why didn't Gu Jingao come to accompany you when you were sad? He wouldn't change his mind again!"

Li Mei: "He came to see me and comfort me in the past few days, but he left soon because the snakes I raised didn't like him and wouldn't let him come. They felt that he had betrayed me and was not a trustworthy person, so they often chased him."

Lin Jinzhi thought the snakes did a great job. "I think the snakes did a great job!"

If my boyfriend didn't come to me for verification because of a video, he would misunderstand me and break up with me.

Haha, that man is gone.

But...she doesn't have a boyfriend.

Li Mei still defended Gu Jingao, "He is actually a very nice person. He is afraid of snakes, but he still comes to my house frequently. He has been chased by snakes dozens of times, but he still insists on coming to my house. This at least shows that I am very important to him."
