In that era, the old campus of Nancheng accommodated almost all the young intellectuals of Old Nancheng. That school carried the future of Old Nancheng, so when the enemy bombed the school, it was a heavy blow to all the residents of Old Nancheng at that time.
Li Jin was not the one who suffered the blow, but the one whose life was ended by the explosives.
When she died, she was only eighteen years old and had just entered school. Yu Li was the same as her, having also just entered school.
Li Jin comes from a wealthy family and is very financially capable. She is a very powerful figure in that school and is surrounded by people. But Yu Li is different. Yu Li never tries to please her and always keeps a certain distance from such an arrogant and domineering person like her. But she still noticed Yu Li because she was very beautiful, so beautiful that it was stunning.
Yu Li is like a small white flower blooming in the wasteland. The pure white petals and leaves can add a touch of brilliant brilliance to the black world. She is fragile and soft, yet full of strong vitality. She doesn't even want to bend the roots easily.
Her brother had liked Yu Li, but of course it didn't last long.
Her brother had always been an arrogant and willful person, even a bit ruthless. Li Jin almost thought that Yu Li would be her sister-in-law for sure, but that night her brother ran back in panic, with a terrified look on his face, and a faint blood stain on his face. He looked at Li Jin tremblingly and said, "Little Jin, stay away from her!"
There's something wrong with that pure white flower.
Not only her brother, but most of the people who pursued Yu Li later would be scared to insanity like her brother. The specific manifestation was that some strange things would always happen when they pursued her.
Moreover, Yu Li herself was a mysterious person. She often talked about Taoist and Buddhist texts that none of them could understand. She only wore white dresses and even her headdress was plain white, as if she was in mourning for someone.
They were all young men and women in their prime, except Yu Li, who looked like a Taoist nun and was surrounded by a curse, so gradually no one approached her.
However, Yu Li did have three friends at that time, one was Sheng Changyi, one was Bai Xiaozhu, and one was Ren Qianjing.
Sheng Changyi was a weirdo. Although she was a pretty girl, she always had some ugly bugs on her body, and no one dared to play with her. Bai Xiaozhu and Ren Qianjing were a couple. In that era when people's minds were not very open, they were almost avoided by their classmates.
A weirdo, a pair of lovers, Yu Li has a very good relationship with them.
In fact, there is something very strange. There have been disappearance cases in the old campus of Nanshi for many years. There are always students and staff missing in the school, but after Yu Li entered the school, no one has disappeared in the school again. The reason why it can be concluded that it is because of Yu Li is that after their death, they came into contact with this haunted land and the fox lady. They first looked for Yu Li's figure among them in fear, and after discovering that Yu Li was not there, they calmly regarded them as ants.
After that, they realized that it was ghosts that were catching people. Those who disappeared mysteriously became food for these ghosts, and even their bones were stuffed into their stomachs. Yu Li must have some strange abilities, and her arrival suppressed these ghosts, so no one continued to disappear in the school.
Perhaps if Yu Li had been killed in the explosion with them, the ending would have been very different. Those ghosts were very afraid of her. Whether it was the Fox Lady or the strongest Ghost King among them, they were all very afraid of Yu Li.
When Li Jin was beaten again and again, she always thought how nice it would be if Yu Li also died here.
This is also her expectation and her curse on Yu Li.
Why did they all die, but Yu Li was taken away? This is unfair. She completely forgot that they had begged Yu Li to leave with those people.
Before the school was bombed, they had never come into contact with ghosts, and they thought the most terrifying things were officers holding guns and carrying explosives.
That day, their school was surrounded by the enemy.
Some strange people came into the school. They had strange curse marks on their faces and wore sacrificial clothes. The officers were very respectful to them. They said that as long as Yu Li voluntarily followed them, they would withdraw and everyone here would be safe.
Exchanging a small for a big, one for a thousand, this is a very cost-effective deal in Li Jin's eyes. Yu Li's safety can be exchanged for their safety.
They didn't know what would happen if Yu Li followed that group of weirdos, but they would be safe if she left.
Although Yu Li was suspected of being cursed, she has always been a very kind and gentle person, and they took advantage of Yu Li's kindness.
Li Jin's white fingers pinched Yu Li's sleeves and she begged, "Yu Li, please, please follow them. As long as you follow them, we can survive."
After she spoke, everyone gave up their dignity and bottom line. The instinct for survival made them all imitate Li Jin and beg Yu Li, and Yu Li compromised.
Li Jin did not feel too guilty, because they were already weak and pitiful in the face of absolute strength. If these people forcibly took Yu Li away, Yu Li would have no chance of resisting. Although it was strange why these powerful people insisted that Yu Li voluntarily follow them and leave, it was just that.
Yu Li followed them, and everyone showed a look of relief that they had escaped a disaster, except Yu Li's three friends who chased after him. They followed Yu Li fearlessly. Li Jin watched coldly, she never thought that such behavior could be called loyalty, she only wanted to call it stupidity.
But they still didn't survive, and those people broke their promise.
After Yu Li followed them away, they did not let them go. Instead, they blew up the school immediately, killing everyone there and destroying the formations that had originally suppressed the evil spirits. Their souls all fell into this ghost town before they could transform.
She really started to regret after she came here. She regretted very much that she did not let Yu Li die in the bombing and did not let her come to this ghost town. If she had come, these evil ghosts might be afraid, and even if they united to besiege Yu Li, it would be better than transferring their anger to them.
Li Jin felt that she was really unlucky to become a classmate of Yu Li. She was implicated by her when she was alive, and even after her death, she would be dragged down by her. It was because she had suppressed these ghosts that the old ghosts here hated her. After discovering that Yu Li was not among them, the ghosts who were afraid of Yu Li began to take pleasure in torturing them, and the leader among them was the fox lady.
That woman was a fox demon in her life. It was said that she was betrayed and died on her wedding day. After becoming a ghost, she became obsessed with getting married. She would always bewitch living people into entering the city of the dead and then raise them. Every year on the day of her death, she would marry someone and eat the person in the wedding chamber, leaving only a pair of eyes.
But after the old campus was bombed, there was no trace of living people here. The fox lady's marriage plan could not be changed, so her plan changed from marrying a living person to marrying a ghost.
Probably to take revenge on Yu Li, whom she would never see again, Lady Fox became keen on turning each of her brides into Yu Li's appearance, torturing them wantonly and then making them into delicious meat to eat.
This year she chose Li Jin.
In fact, she had chosen Li Jin a few years ago, but it was a coincidence that Li Jin met Bai Xiaozhu when she was desperate and helpless. At that time, the three of them were chasing Yu Li. Li Jin thought they all escaped from here with Yu Li. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaozhu was unable to leave the school in the end. She also died in the bombing and came to the ghost town. She didn't see Ren Qianjing, otherwise she would have two more scapegoats.
She reported to the boy beside the fox lady that Bai Xiaozhu was Yu Li's good friend and that she had Yu Li's aura. If she wanted to transform into Yu Li's appearance, then Bai Xiaozhu would be the most suitable candidate.
Li Jin escaped with great difficulty, but it was her turn to be the bride again.
And all this is Yu Li’s fault, all Yu Li’s fault!
Lady Fox is one of the ghosts who has lived the longest in this ghost town. The twelve red evil ghosts are the twelve underworld boys she specially trained. These boys are the ones who run errands and find brides on weekdays. They usually call Lady Fox "Mother". In addition to the twelve underworld boys, Lady Fox also has a city. The city is full of her slaves and servants, and the wedding is held in the city.
Li Jin was originally being carried through the city, but something strange suddenly happened in the ghost city. The ghost kings who came to attend the wedding were separated by a powerful force, and even the ghosts were dispersed along with the ghost kings, so the wedding came to a stop.
Lady Fox insisted that the sedan chair could not stop until the bride was picked up, so the twelve Hades boys carried her out to investigate the situation.
There are more than twenty ghost kings here, the most powerful of which is the Ghost Emperor, followed by the Fox Lady.
They were all very afraid of her.
After hearing the story, Jin Banwei could almost conclude that Yu Li was Ren Qiao, the Ren Qiao who was still alive. The time period also matched. Ren Qiao had been wandering in the world for a hundred years, and Yu Li had indeed been dead for more than a hundred years.
Jin Banwei's intuition was correct, and Ren Qiao was a very good person when he was alive.
Yu Li is as tough, gentle, kind, and even powerful as Ren Qiao. He plays the role of selfless dedication in the story, but not all the people who are saved will repay the kindness.
Li Jin's every word revealed her hatred for Yu Li, but she really didn't hear any fault in Yu Li in this story.
Was it that I shouldn't have suppressed the evil spirits that were hurting people here, or was it that I shouldn't have followed those people and left to save them?
When the book described the old campus of Nanshi, there was not even a single mention of Yu Li. During the war, the enemy blew up the school to destroy the beliefs of the people of old Nanshi, not to capture Yu Li.
There is no such person as Yu Li in Leng Xiangying's story.
Yu Li was not even a supporting role in the story of the bombing of the old campus in Nanshi. It was not because Yu Li was here that they chose to bomb the school, but because this was a school, so they bombed it.
It can even be said that because of Yu Li, they lived a few more hours.
Jin Banwei even made another assumption. Since Yu Li at that time had the power to make even evil spirits afraid, if she didn't compromise with those people because of the thousands of lives at the old campus in Nanshi, those people would be completely helpless against her.
Li Jin's curse was probably successful, and Yu Li died a miserable death.
Jin Banwei's mind once again flashed with the death look of Ren Qiao. If they were really the same person, then Yu Li went to hell because of the person in front of him. But Li Jin was not grateful at all. She was even filled with resentment towards Yu Li.
Yu Li's sacrifice was not worth it because Li Jin was completely ungrateful.
She felt sorry for Yu Li, and her eyes gradually became complicated when she looked at Li Jin: "Do you hate Yu Li so much?"
"Of course! This is all because of Yu Li. Without her, I would still be Miss Li! I would never have become a ghost, nor would I have been tortured in this hellish place, and I would not have to transform into her to marry the fox lady!"
She answered with a resounding voice, her voice was sharp and piercing, and veins popped out on her forehead: "I hate her, I hate her!"
How sad it is that the person that Yu Li would rather sacrifice himself to save actually hates her so much. Jin Banwei couldn't be sure whether Li Jin was the only one who had such thoughts, or whether everyone thought the same way.
If it is the latter, then Yu Li is too pathetic.
She secretly clenched her palms, staring at Li Jin's eyes and slowly becoming cold: "Li Jin, what qualifications do you have to hate her? The old campus in Nanshi was bombed because it was a school, not because Yu Li was here. Even if it was about the fox lady, if she hadn't appeared to suppress these ghosts early in the morning, you might have been bewitched into this ghost town, you..."
Can you please stop hating her?
Jin Banwei's voice was hoarse, and she couldn't finish the rest of the words smoothly.
She didn't know why she begged Li Jin. Perhaps she felt that Yu Li, who was in hell and still hated,...or Ren Qiao, was too pitiful.
In fact, even if she finished asking, it would be useless.
Li Jin covered her wrist and smiled sinisterly: "There are so many people in the school, and there are so many people they can seduce. How can it be me? Even if they choose me, I still have so many followers in the school. Can't they just find a scapegoat? It is their honor to die for me!"
Li Jin's followers are pathetic enough. In Li Jin's eyes, they are just scapegoats.
Her words were too cold, showing no friendship with classmates, nor cherishing the people around her. Jin Banwei asked uncertainly, "Li Jin, in your heart, as long as it's not you who dies, it doesn't matter who dies?"
Li Jin didn't respond, but her mocking look revealed her true thoughts.
When she talked about the past, there was only anger in her eyes, and the anger even dispelled her fear.
Jin Banwei pressed her brows and said, "Your friends will probably be very sad if they know that they are just scapegoats in your eyes."
Li Jin still didn't say anything. Guan Jiyue had been enduring for a long time. There was no doubt that she was not a good ghost. She could not even be considered a good person.
Although there is nothing wrong with seeking survival and using any means to survive, how can it be considered helpless to survive at the cost of other people's lives? Warlocks pay the most attention to the cycle of cause and effect, and Li Jin has already shouldered the sin.
She always has extreme thoughts in her mind. Could it be that she has only harmed Bai Xiaozhu?
"Stop talking to this kind of person and kill her."
The peach wood sword was already against Li Jin's neck. Fear once again invaded Li Jin's eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She trembled slightly, "You can't kill me. You promised me that as long as I tell you the truth about my past, you would let me go."
Jin Banwei held Guan Jiyue's wrist: "It will be related to karma."
After all, this was something that had been promised at the beginning. If the promise was broken, there would be consequences for the cause and effect. This was much more effective for Yin-Yang sorcerers than for ordinary people.
Jin Banwei was very conflicted. She was dissatisfied with Li Jin's injustice to Ren Qiao, and she also hated the fact that Li Jin attacked Ren Qiao with every word she said. However, Li Jin's life was the one that Ren Qiao once wanted to protect.
Guan Jiyue was still cold and icy: "What I'm least afraid of is being involved in karma."
Jin Banwei frowned and said, "But doesn't karma also affect the people around you?"
When Guan Jiyue mentioned the people around her, her expression changed significantly. She put away the peach wood sword and said calmly, "Li Jin, have you ever killed anyone in your life?"
Jin Banwei noticed that after Guan Jiyue asked the question, Li Jin's body immediately began to tremble violently, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised revealed a somewhat ferocious smile. She seemed to have recalled something, and the answer was already obvious.
Guan Jiyue looked at her with a colder gaze. "Indeed, we won't kill you because of the agreement. But after we solve the problem here, we will save your soul. After the salvation ceremony is over, all the ghosts here will go to the underworld. The evil deeds you did in your life are all recorded in the underworld books. Those who kill people unjustly will be punished in the eighteen levels of hell. One life is one hundred years. You can calculate how many years you will be punished for."
Li Jin became panic-stricken again. She hugged Guan Jiyue's legs and said, "No, no, I won't go to the underworld. Please help me."
"Heh." Guan Jiyue sneered: "It seems you have killed a lot of people."
I thought she was a miserable bride, but she turned out to be a vicious woman.
Jin Banwei shook her head slightly, looked at Guan Jiyue who had kicked Li Jin away, and asked, "Guan Jiyue, do you have any way to break this illusion technique?"
"You really know this face." This time it was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
Jin Banwei also knew that she might be too obvious, but it was related to Ren Qiao, and Guan Jiyue was still trustworthy. Although she was full of malice towards ghosts, she was not a bad person. The heroine of the original book was righteous enough, and Jin Banwei knew this.
There is no need to worry about those ghost soldiers and generals. After the spell is lifted, they will only remember that they were summoned, but will not remember what specifically happened.
Jin Banwei took a deep breath and pointed at Li Jin who was kicked far away by Guan Jiyue: "That's the face of Sister Ghost."
"Um?"
The Ren Qiao that Guan Jiyue saw was the same as Leng Xiangying and the others, that is, an extremely beautiful face. How could she associate this beautiful, gentle and stunning face with Ren Qiao? These were clearly two completely different styles.
"Things are complicated. If you want to know, I'll tell you later." Jin Banwei was in a hurry to get out. She couldn't waste any more time here. She begged Guan Jiyue, "Help me get back my face."
Guan Jiyue nodded indifferently. She caught up with Li Jin and took off Li Jin's face in an almost brutal way. A piece of talisman paper was pasted on Li Jin's face. Li Jin's face actually started to burn. A miserable howl reached her ears. Jin Banwei once again sighed at the ruthlessness of Guan Jiyue's methods.
Guan Jiyue pinched the skin, and soon the skin turned into black mist and dissipated.
She walked towards Jin Banwei, but Li Jin's face was still burning with anger.
Jin Banwei wasn't worried about Li Jin, she was a little afraid that Guan Jiyue would be implicated: "Will she be burned to death?"
"Once the ghost energy cast by Lady Fox is burned out, the fire will stop."
That's good.
Next they will go find the fox lady. As for the ghost king trapped at the gate of life, it is the Ghost Emperor mentioned by Li Jin as expected. Even with the support of Ren Qiao's power, she still has too few means, and too few lethal means.
As for the paper-making artist's skills, she had used up almost all of them that she had prepared.
After using up both the Mind-Clearing Talisman and the Array-Breaking Talisman, she now only has one Soul-Gathering Talisman left, so she still has to draw the lottery.
Jin Banwei took a look at the good karma points. There were 110 good karma points provided to her by those red evil spirits, the two good karma points she had left from the lottery, and the five good karma points provided by the Yin general, a total of 117 good karma points. As for Li Jin, she seemed to have no gratitude at all and did not contribute any good karma points to her.
Each draw gives her three points of good karma, and one hundred and seventeen points of good karma are enough for her to draw thirty-nine times. Jin Banwei had already drawn thirteen times before, and was only thirty-seven times away from the fifty times required by the system. In other words, after she finished drawing, her system could be upgraded again, and her own physical fitness would also be enhanced.
See the system panel...
Wait, Bai Xiaozhu... Jin Banwei almost forgot that the original owner of this body was named Bai Xiaozhu.
Just now in Li Jin's story, one of Yu Li's three friends is called Bai Xiaozhu. Is this a coincidence? Is it just the same name? Or is it related to the mystery of the original owner and Ren Qiao?
At that time, three people followed Yu Li away, so of the other two, only Bai Xiaozhu was left behind, died in the bombing, and was sent to this ghost town to become food for the fox lady.
Was Bai Xiaozhu really eaten like that?
Jin Banwei always felt that since he was Ren Qiao's friend, he might not be that fragile.
While she was thinking, Guan Jiyue had already modified the sedan chair. Talismans were pasted everywhere on it. Jin Banwei took a look and found that they were all medium-level talismans - Five-Character Crab Talismans, which were considered to be more powerful formation talismans among the medium-level talismans. In other words, the sedan chair itself had been transformed into a formation by Guan Jiyue.
Guan Jiyue is really generous in using talismans. He uses more than ten pieces of high-level talisman paper at a time and hundreds of intermediate-level talisman paper at a time.
Guan Jiyue dragged Jin Banwei onto the bridal sedan, with a compass in her hand. The direction indicated by the compass was the ghost town that Li Jin had mentioned.
"Let your ghost soldiers carry us away. I will rest and recuperate."
Jin Banwei saw that she did not look tired, but thinking that she must have lost a lot of blood and energy after using the double dragon whips, she commanded the ghost soldiers to lift the sedan chair, and the team of nine ghost generals and a hundred ghost soldiers set off in such a mighty manner.
Fortunately, the sedan chair was very large, so even if there were two of them sitting in it, they would not feel crowded.
Jin Banwei was indeed very tired. She was injured much more seriously than Guan Jiyue, and had consumed more energy. She leaned against the sedan chair and her eyes slowly lost focus. She summoned the system in her mind to prepare for the lottery, and suddenly saw Guan Jiyue take out talisman paper, cinnabar, and an ink pen...
She reported that someone was cheating here!
Guan Jiyue was actually able to draw talismans in such a bumpy road, she deserves to have so many talismans!
She has a system, but she can't beat Guan Jiyue even with cheats. This is outrageous.
Jin Banwei complained about the system in her heart, and the system that had been pretending to be dead for a long time appeared again.
[This is due to the host not earning enough good karma, and not even adhering to the system's principle of doing good things. For example, the host did not let the ghost bride thank you just now. ]
"I can't just earn good karma points and not distinguish between good ghosts and bad ghosts."
Besides, Li Jin doesn't look like the type of person who would be grateful to others. After all, she's not even grateful to Yu Li.
As a living person, she would not argue with the system, and of course she would not let the system control her thinking. She still has her own principles. Accumulating good karma is very important, and the bottom line is also very important.
"I want to draw a lottery."
[Ding, thank you for participating in the lucky draw. I will give you a consolation prize of Yin Gu Xiang. ]
