On an early summer afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, almost penetrating into every corner.

But it's just almost there, there are always some places where the filth is still rotten.

Jian Yun sat in the dark study room, the room was too dark to see the layout.

Only at that time, he would take off his bamboo hat to fully expose his face.

After this injury was left ten years ago, it has not been painless for a moment.

The hot tingling constantly reminded him of the tragic and terrifying scene at that time.

The candlelight ignited Jian Shou's long hair, which spread from his arm to himself.

Wherever he looked, Jian Shou's ferocious face turned into a fierce flame.

That fire not only swallowed Jian Shou, but also Jian Yun.

Since then, Jian Yun's temperament has changed drastically, and his hostility is rampant.

Or it can be said that he finally revealed his true colors.

The slender image of a gentle and gentle young man has always been just his mask.

He hated Jian Shou for making himself into such a ghost.

As for whether Jian Shou hated him or not, how could a dead person have the right to say hate?

Jian Yun stood up from the chair and walked slowly into the room.

No one knows that there is a secret room in his study, and there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the mansion.

The Pixiu jade carvings on the bookshelf are placed quietly.

Because of being touched frequently, the surface of the jade carving is very smooth, even in the dark, it still emits a faint luster.

Jian Yun put his hands on it, and started to turn with a little force.

The sound of gear grinding and mosaic is obviously amplified in a confined space.

Immediately afterwards, there was the friction sound of the wall moving, and a passage wide for one person gradually opened behind the bookshelf.

The passage was deep and dark, even darker than the dark study room.

After Jian Yun walked in, the open wall behind him closed again.

The luminous beads in the secret passage began to emit soft white light, illuminating the path under their feet.

The further you go in, the more and more talisman papers are on the wall, and the red string copper bells in the formation are also hung all over.

Someone was waiting for him in the secret room, and this person was wearing a Taoist robe and standing with his hands behind his back.

He turned his head when he heard footsteps, and the corners of his mouth hidden under his beard turned up politely.

The tone was very familiar: "The young master is here."

When Jian Yun stepped into this secret room, he didn't seem to shy away from Wuweizi seeing his face.

He hummed perfunctorily, as a greeting to him.

"So that's what you meant when you asked me to go to the teahouse, so how did you know?"

Jian Yun doesn't like being exposed to the public, let alone a crowded place like a teahouse.

But last time when he parted with Wu Weizi, Wu Weizi vaguely reminded him to go to the teahouse more often.

Although Jian Yun repelled it in his heart, he still went to the teahouse to sit for half a month.

Unexpectedly, there was such a surprise that he met the person Jian Shou imagined so much!

Wu Weizi shook his head slightly: "Naturally, the secret must not be revealed."

Jian Yun was not dissatisfied because of this answer, but there was secret excitement in his tone.

"Isn't that about to succeed! How long will it take to refine the medicine?"

"Come on, the lunar eclipse at the end of July is the best time."

The scar on Jian Yun's face seemed to be alive and twitched.

He yelled a few "good" words, which made the smile he was struggling to pull out even uglier and more terrifying.

Wuweizi added bricks and tiles and said: "Then I have to congratulate the young master in advance for his wish to come true."

Jian Yun listened to such good words very well, he had waited for this day for too long!

The excitement in my heart made me want to run out, and the fingertips holding the cuffs were trembling slightly.

He wanted his face back to its original state!

Jian Yun walked into the secret room, and a painted coffin appeared in front of him.

He bent down and pushed the coffin lid halfway, revealing a small gap.

What came to the face was the strong smell of herbs and the smell of corpses suppressed in it.

Through that gap, Jian Yun could see a charred corpse.

That was the only evidence left after Jian Shou was burned alive.

The head of the skeleton was beyond recognition, and the limbs were also shrunk into small balls.

Jian Yun felt nauseous in his heart, but couldn't restrain himself from staring.

This charred corpse was one of his medicinal ingredients.

Everything has a cause and an effect, Jian Yun ruined his face because of Jian Shou.

Naturally, this bitter fruit has to be recovered from Jian Shou one by one, no matter whether he is dead or has been reincarnated.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

Wu Weizi said that Jian Shou's wisp of living soul is the most crucial "medicinal material".

Ten years ago, when he first saw this disfigured face in the mirror.

He knew that it was impossible to cure it with medical skills alone.

In desperation, Jian Yun found the Taoist priest who was involved in the accident.

Wuweizi didn't agree to him at first, and he had the backbone to swear not to go down the mountain.

But there is never a deal that cannot be negotiated in this world, only a price that cannot be negotiated.

When Wuweizi followed him down the mountain, he also brought the cauldron for refining medicine with him.

Jian Shou's body buried in the ground for a long time was dug out by Jian Yun and Wu Weizi.

Under the cold moonlight, Wuweizi told him that there was still a ray of soul missing in the medicinal materials he needed.

Kneeling on the ground, Jian Yun, whose hands were covered in corpse mud, suddenly collapsed.

He asked loudly: "What is a living soul, and how to find it!?"

"The living soul is a strand of human soul..."

Wu Weizi's expression became secretive, "As for how to find it, you can only wait."

This wait has been ten years, and now he has finally been made to wait!

Jian Yun suddenly closed the coffin lid, approaching Wuweizi with a domineering aura.

"That child... is Jian Shou's living soul?"

Wu Weizi was not afraid when he saw the terrifying face suddenly approaching.

The tone was very steady all the time: "Well, that child is the reincarnation of Jian Shou."

"But how do you get this living soul out!"

Jian Yun's eyes were scarlet with greed, "Do you need me to kill him?"

Wuweizi smiled: "Young Master, aren't you joking..."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Weizi's smiling eyes were cold: "To take the soul of a human being is of course to kill him."

Suddenly, Jian Yun also laughed, his chest heaving violently.

From the beginning to the end, the conversation between the two did not spread out of the wall outside the secret room.

…………

Wu Susu has been very, very boring in the prefect's mansion these two days.

That ugly man insisted on staying with him and his brother for a longer period of time.

Naturally, Wu Susu didn't want to, that man pinched her neck so fiercely.

Just thinking about it made him feel scared, besides, he really didn't suffer any injuries, so he didn't need to stay here all the time.

But my brother seems to want to stay here...

Thinking of this, Wu Susu felt a little sad. He woke up in the middle of the night for the past two days and didn't see his brother.

If his brother hadn't returned on time the next morning, he would have thought he had been left behind.

Si Nian glanced at Wu Su Su Bu several times when he was cooking for him.

It was found that he was not in the right mood, and the food on the chopsticks had not been delivered to his mouth for a long time.

In the end, he fell on the table without returning to his senses, and the drooping eyes were obviously lonely.

Si Nian frowned, such a young child has no worries, even if he has, he can't hold back.

A sense of responsibility arises spontaneously, and Si Nian plans to be an enlightened parent.

So he put down his chopsticks and tried not to speak so urgently:

"Susu, did you encounter something unhappy? Can you tell brother?"

Wu Susu was taken out of his thoughts by him, startled.

Some are incoherent: "ah, no, I'm not unhappy, brother..."

Si Nian hesitated: "Susu, you must be homesick, right?"

This time, Wu Susu immediately denied it: "No, I'm not homesick. Susu wants to stay with her brother."

The boy's eyes were wide and round, and there was nothing hidden in them.

Si Nian's heart softened a bit: "Then Susu wants to tell brother why you are unhappy."

Wu Susu twitched a little, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she confessed everything.

"Susu doesn't like that young master, and Susu doesn't want to stay here anymore."

"Every night, my brother will disappear for a period of time. In fact, Susu is very scared. I am afraid that my brother will not want Susu and leave Susu here alone."

He slid off the stool and walked in front of Si Nian.

With a sympathetic prayer: "So brother, can we get out of here?"

Si Nian was silent.

He really hadn't been idle these two nights, he changed into a set of night clothes and went out just after the ugliness.

The layout of the prefect's mansion has changed a lot, like a maze.

He explored the road for two nights and found nothing, but he didn't intend to give up.

Now that he has sneaked into the prefect's mansion, there are many opportunities.

But now, Susu told him that he hoped to leave here.

For a moment, Si Nian's thoughts drifted to even more outrageous places.

He wondered if it was because of the sufferings carved into his soul in his previous life.

Let Susu hate this place for no reason?Hate the people here?

However, such thoughts were fleeting, and Si Nian still rejected Wu Susu's request.

Finding the truth about Jian Shou's death has become Si Nian's obsession.

Wu Susu is the reincarnation of Jian Shou, but he is not the Jian Shou in Si Nian's heart after all.

If Si Nian forgets Jian Shou and abandons the past because of this, he will feel that he has betrayed something.

After all, he is the only one in this world who remembers Ah Shou...

Thinking of this, Si Nian felt both uncomfortable and secretly satisfied.

Wu Susu, who was rejected, was extremely disappointed, her eyes were red as if she would cry in the next second.

Si Nian couldn't bear it, so he hugged Wu Susu to his lap and sat down.

Coaxing softly: "Brother promises to Susu that he will never abandon Susu."

"Susu has to wait patiently for my brother, and when my brother... finishes his work, he will take Susu out of here."

Susu let out a muffled "hmm" and accepted his promise.

He is really not a child who likes to make trouble for no reason, he can't let his brother hate him.

Si Nian held Wu Susu in his arms, but his eyes stretched far and wide.

He hasn't seen that ghost for more than three months...
