"You're dead." The president looked at Li Xiu, and the first sentence made Li Xiu's mood sink to the bottom.
"Am I really dead and now a wandering ghost?" Li Xiu frowned secretly.
The president walked up to Li Xiu, looked him over twice, and said with a half-smile, "You're already dead, why are you coming to me instead of visiting your relatives?"
"President, are you sure I'm dead?" Li Xiu didn't believe that he was really dead.
"Don't you know whether you are dead or not?" the president asked back.
"I don't think I'm dead, but no one can see me except you." Li Xiu stared for a while and said.
"What a pity! He was a young talent with extraordinary natural beauty, but he died at such a young age... Alas..." the president sighed with regret.
"Is there no other way?" Li Xiu asked.
"If you have any last wishes, please tell us now," the president shook his head.
Li Xiu's heart sank. Even the president who could see him said so. Things might not be very good.
"Why can you see me?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the president.
"You should ask what I can't see." The president smiled and sat on the stone bench. He made himself a cup of tea and said while drinking: "Tell me, how did you die?"
"I don't know either." Li Xiu said with a wry smile.
"You don't even know how you died?" the president frowned.
"I don't think I'm dead." Li Xiu said.
The president laughed and said, "So you are a confused person who doesn't even know that you are dead. Tell me what you have done and I will help you analyze it."
"Please don't help me analyze it. If he is really dead, what's the point of analyzing it?" Li Xiu said with a sneer.
The president said seriously, "Of course it is useful. You died in the Changshengtian without knowing why, so I naturally have to find out the reason, so that others won't die in the same confused way as you."
"So, a dead person like me still has value." Li Xiu did not hesitate and told the story of how he won the ancient gold box at the auction and then found the spiritual urn.
"You opened the bottomless spirit urn in the ancient gold box?" the president asked in surprise.
"Do you know the origin of the spiritual jar?" Li Xiu did not tell the origin of the spiritual jar, but he was able to reveal it in one breath, which showed that he obviously knew about that thing.
"If you were killed by the spirit jar, that would be difficult to deal with." The president sighed, "The spirit jar in the bottomless pit houses a devil. Why did you have to provoke that thing when you could have provoked anyone else?"
Li Zheng was about to say something, but the president suddenly revealed a strange smile: "I can still see you now, which means that the devil has not yet devoured your soul. There is still a glimmer of hope."
"What vitality?" Li Xiu asked the president suspiciously.
The president said mysteriously: "You have to answer me a question first. This question concerns your life and death. You must answer me truthfully."
"What's the problem?" Li Xiu always felt that the president's expression was a little strange.
"Tell me honestly, are you still a virgin?" the president said seriously.
"What does this have to do with my life or death?" Li Xiu felt that the president seemed to be playing a joke on him, but looking at the president's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.
"Not only is it related, but it is a big deal. You must tell me the truth so that I can know whether you still have a chance of survival." The president's expression became more and more serious.
"I think so." Li Xiu replied.
"If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. What do you mean by it should be considered as such, right?" The president was obviously not satisfied with such a vague answer.
"Does it count if you've never touched a woman?" Li Xiu asked.
The president laughed when he heard this: "It's good that you didn't touch women. The rest doesn't count as losing your virginity. That's enough. You are saved."
The president said mysteriously: "I have a secret method that may be able to bring you back to life. Remember, if you see the spirit urn again, you must find an opportunity to urinate into the hole on the spirit urn. If you are lucky enough, you will be saved."
"President, it's already this late and you're still joking with me." Li Xiu said with a wry smile.
The president said solemnly: "I am not kidding you. Haven't you heard that boy's urine is the best magic weapon to deal with evil spirits? Anyway, I have taught you the secret method. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"Are you sure this trick will work?" Li Xiu looked at the president with a strange expression and confirmed again.
"It's useful." The president nodded.
"Are you kidding?"
"no."
…
Li Xiu had a strange look on his face, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether what the president said was true or false.
"It's time for you to go." The president urged Li Xiu to leave, and reminded him to urinate into the hole of the spirit urn.
Li Xiu left the City Lord's Mansion in doubt. He didn't believe what the president said at all.
But if he says he doesn't believe it, the president is the only one who can see him, so it seems unnecessary to say all these just to fool him.
Li Xiu pondered for a moment and headed towards Yard No. 7. He deliberately avoided the place where he had just separated from the spirit urn and floated all the way back to Yard No. 7.
After all this trouble, it was already noon.
Old Jia was sitting on the stone steps at the gate, smoking a cigarette leisurely. It seemed that he didn't know about Li Xiu's disappearance yet.
I walked past Lao Jia, who was unaware and was still smoking.
I passed through the wall, but didn't see Lao Bai. The chess game on the stone table was still there and hadn't been put away. It seemed that Lao Bai left in a hurry.
Li Ming'er had already gotten up and was playing in the yard with Xiaoshuang and Zaizai. Li Xiu walked up to Li Ming'er and took out the immortal chopsticks.
Since the president could see him, Li Xiu didn't believe that no one else could see him.
The Longevity Chopsticks are a pair. Even if he died, the Longevity Chopsticks would not die too. Since he could touch the Longevity Chopsticks, maybe the other Longevity Chopsticks in Li Ming'er's hand could sense it.
Li Xiu waved the immortality chopsticks in front of Li Ming'er, but to his disappointment, Li Ming'er still didn't react at all.
Li Xiu gritted his teeth and used the Immortality Chopstick to touch the other Immortality Chopstick that Li Ming'er had inserted in her hair. However, Li Xiu's Immortality Chopstick passed through the other Immortality Chopstick and they did not touch each other. The other Immortality Chopstick also did not react.
“Is there no reaction even between the pairs of immortality chopsticks?” Li Xiu’s heart sank.
When Li Zheng was deep in thought, he suddenly felt as if his clothes were pulled by something.
Li Xiu looked down and found that it was Zi Zi that Li Ming'er was holding. She grabbed the corner of Li Xiu's clothes with her little hands. Zi Zi was looking at him with those beautiful big eyes, sucking her fingers and smiling at him.
"Zai Zai can touch me?" Li Xiu suddenly realized something, and reached out to grab Zai Zai's little hand in surprise.
But when he grabbed it, he missed it and his fingers passed through Zaizai's little hand.
"Strange! Zi Zi clearly grabbed the corner of my clothes just now, how come he can't touch it?" Li Xiu was slightly stunned.
Oh my!
Zaizai opened his arms, as if asking for a hug.
Li Xiu is now certain that Zai Zai can definitely see him, and he just bumped into him, but for some reason he can't bump into Zai Zai.
Li Xiu tried to stretch out his fingers towards Zaizai, and Zaizai's little hand really grabbed his fingers. Li Xiu truly felt the delicate sensation coming from Zaizai's fingers.
Li Xiu was delighted and wanted to grab Zaizai's hand, but the feeling of touch disappeared and his palm passed through Zaizai's hand.
"It's strange. Only Zi Zi can touch me but I can't touch her. Why is that?" Li Xiu couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.
Zaizai kept stretching out her hands for a hug. Li Ming'er didn't know what was wrong with Zaizai and thought she was hungry, so she picked up the bottle next to her and fed her.
Zaizai held the bottle and drank milk, but his eyes were always on Li Xiu.
Li Xiu's mind moved, and he quickly left Yard No. 7.
Just now, after the president heard about the spirit jar, he quickly asked Li Xiu to leave his place, as if he didn't want Li Xiu to stay there for too long.
Li Xiu guessed that the president didn't want Ling Weng to find out that he could see him. There must be a reason for this.
Now Zai Zai can not only see him, but also touch him. Li Xiu naturally cannot let Ling Weng find out about this, so as not to implicate Zai Zai.
After leaving Yard No. 7, Li Xiu came to the cliff of Gyro Mountain alone, thinking about everything he had experienced.
Now the only ones who can see him are the president and Zi Zi, and the clothes he was wearing and things like the Longevity Chopsticks are still with him, but these things, like him, cannot touch any person or object except Zi Zi.
"If my current state is that my soul has left my body, then I shouldn't have these things on me, and my body shouldn't disappear. The inference that my soul has left my body doesn't make sense, unless my body has been swallowed by the spirit jar. But that doesn't explain why the immortal chopsticks and the clothes on my body are still there. I can't say that the immortal chopsticks and the things on my body have left my body with my soul, right?"
"Assuming that I am not in a state of death with my soul leaving my body, then why can't I touch anything?" Li Xiu kept thinking.
With Li Xiu's knowledge, the most reasonable explanation he could think of was the possibility of parallel space.
The so-called yin and yang separation may be two different worlds. The two worlds overlap but do not interfere with each other. He was pulled into another world by the spirit jar, so he could not touch the things in Changshengtian, and no one could see him.
If this assumption is true, then why can Zi Zi and the president see him? Zi Zi can even touch him.
Li Xiu felt that there were two possibilities. One possibility was that they possessed abilities similar to the Yin-Yang eyes and could see another overlapping world.
Zai Zai even has the ability to travel through two overlapping worlds, so he was able to meet him.
"It makes sense that Zai Zai can see me. After all, Zai Zai is a creature from the Demonic Kingdom, and it's possible that she came from the Time Tunnel. Her physique may be quite special. Then why can the President see me? Is it because his level is high enough, or because he has special abilities?" Li Xiu thought to himself.
"Now you should be able to accept the fact that you are dead, right?" The spirit jar floated over and soon floated in front of Li Xiu. Nine eyes looked at Li Xiu and said with a smile.
"Theoretically speaking, my current state can indeed be said to be dead." Li Xiu nodded.
His current situation is no different from the so-called separation between Yin and Yang. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is dead.
"Since you have understood, it's easy. You can beg me now." Ling Weng said proudly.
"Please? Why do I ask you?" Li Xiu asked puzzledly.
"Don't you want to be resurrected? Now the only person who can help you be resurrected is me." Ling Weng said.
"You killed me and then wanted to resurrect me. Are you stupid or am I stupid?" Li Xiu said with disdain.
"We are not stupid. I will help you resurrect, and you do something for me." Ling Weng said.
"Tell me about it." Li Xiu said casually.
"It's simple. After you are resurrected, you must send me back to the deepest part of the bottomless pit." Ling Weng said.
"Why do you want to go back?" Li Xiu didn't look happy at all and still asked slowly.
"It's not that I want to go back, but I have no choice but to stay there. If it wasn't for that bastard who brought me out, I would never be willing to stay in a place like this." Ling Weng said.
"Oh, who brought you out of the bottomless pit?" Li Xiu asked with interest.
"Do you want to know these questions, or do you want to be resurrected?" Ling Weng snorted coldly.
"I am naturally more curious than others. If I have to choose between resurrection and knowing the answers to these secrets, I would choose to know the answers to these secrets." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Ling Weng stared at Li Xiu intently, and after a long while he snorted coldly: "People like you deserve not to live long."
"If it's just for the sake of momentary pleasure, I'd have no regrets even if I die." Li Xiu said calmly.
Ling Weng really had no way to deal with Li Xiu. From the very beginning, Li Xiu's actions were completely beyond his expectations, making it difficult for Ling Weng to grasp Li Xiu's thinking pattern. Some of the methods he had used before were of no use on Li Xiu.
"Except for the Emperor of the Demonic Kingdom, who else among humans can enter the bottomless pit and do such a thing?" Ling Weng sighed.
"So it was the Emperor of the Demonic Kingdom. Then why didn't you kill him?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"I just wanted to go out for a walk, and I was tricked by him. I was stranded in the Demon Kingdom and was sealed in an ancient gold box by him." Ling Weng snorted coldly.
"Have you been fooled, or are you powerless to deal with the Emperor of the Demonic Kingdom?" Li Xiu could tell that Ling Weng was not being sincere.
“Hmph, think whatever you want. What’s the point of the Demonic Kingdom’s Heavenly Emperor? If I didn’t…” Ling Weng suddenly stopped talking, as if realizing that he had said something he shouldn’t have said, and then said, “The Demonic Kingdom’s Heavenly Emperor didn’t get any benefits either. He imprisoned me in the ancient gold box, and I didn’t let him have an easy time. His most beloved little daughter was also deceived by me and turned into a monster that is neither human nor ghost…”
"Are you talking about Princess Tiantong?" Li Xiu now began to believe it.
"What Princess Tiantong? That's the nickname she got after I schemed against her." Ling Weng said proudly, "Do you know why she got the nickname Princess Tiantong?"
"Why?" Li Xiu asked.
"Because she has clairvoyance." Ling Weng smiled foolishly, his nine eyes almost turning into flowers.
"Clairvoyance?" Li Xiu knew the term "clairvoyance".
The divine eye is a great supernatural power in Buddhism. It can see the suffering and happiness of all sentient beings in the six realms when they die and are reborn. It can also see all kinds of forms and colors in the world without any obstacles. It is one of the six supernatural powers in Buddhism and is a great supernatural power that can see everything.
To put it simply, it is similar to clairvoyance and x-ray vision, but the stronger ones can even see the past, future and six realms of reincarnation.
Of course, these are just legends, and no one has ever seen someone who truly possesses clairvoyance.
“Yes, clairvoyance. Do you want to have clairvoyance? I can help you have it.” Ling Weng’s voice was ghostly, like a demon luring people into hell.
"That's possible." Li Xiu said calmly.
"After Princess Tiantong gained the ability of clairvoyance, she was able to see the true face of humans beneath their skin. It's really interesting. Are you sure you want it?" Ling Weng said with a silly smile.
"What do you mean?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.
"You should have heard of the term inner beauty, right? The so-called inner beauty is the true nature, the beauty of the soul, while the skin is the appearance. The clairvoyance allows you to see the true nature through the appearance." Ling Weng said.
"Isn't that great?" Li Xiu pondered.
"It's good to be able to see the true face of beauty, but unfortunately, humans are not such beautiful creatures." Ling Weng said, "Under the beautiful appearance of humans, there is often an ugly face like a demon. After Princess Tiantong opened her clairvoyance, she saw the faces of demons under human skin every day. The more people plot against her, the uglier their true face will be in her eyes."
"Your parents, your best friends, and everyone around you will become evil spirits in human skin in your eyes, with fangs bared, as if they will devour you at any time. Don't you think that feeling is fun?" Ling Weng laughed as if he was talking about something very interesting.
But Li Xiu's scalp tingled when he heard this. He could imagine how horrified and desperate it must be for an ignorant teenage girl to see those evil ghosts with human skins surrounding her every day.
"No wonder it is said that Princess Tiantong likes to peel people's skin the most. So that's why." Li Xiu sighed.
"Do you still want the clairvoyance? I can satisfy you now. After you have the clairvoyance, you can enjoy the happiness that others can never enjoy. When you peep at those beauties in the future, all you will see will be skeletons covered with human skin. The wife sleeping next to you in the future will be as beautiful as a ghost. If you are interested, you can have a child with her. Don't think that children are innocent, you are wrong. Human nature is evil, and children are born the ugliest devils. Maybe you can take a look at the child's ugly appearance and see if he looks a bit like you... Do you... still want it?" The nine eyes of the spirit jar stared at Li Xiu like the eyes of a devil that could see through the soul.
