Chapter 112 Then why do you want to divide it into two halves?
Bai Jin: "I thought that only forbidden areas had evil spirits, but I didn't expect that ghost towns would also have evil spirits." A look of surprise appeared on his face, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Human-shaped bones "You came out of the illusion and don't know where you are?" There was a hint of questioning in the ethereal voice.
Bai Jin scratched his head awkwardly. "I... I didn't think so much." A blush appeared on his face, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
The human-shaped bones had heard about Bai Jin and her new apprentice a long time ago. Seeing Bai Jin's appearance, he knew that he had fallen into the arms of a gentle woman.
If the human-shaped skeleton had eyes, it would have rolled its eyes long ago.
"Why don't you practice?" The humanoid skeleton couldn't understand why there were such lazy people. Its voice was filled with confusion and dissatisfaction.
"I really can't cultivate. I don't have the spiritual roots." Bai Jin couldn't understand why so many people asked him why he didn't cultivate. Wasn't it obvious? If he could cultivate, he would have done it long ago.
"The Imperial Master calculated that you were born a genius in cultivation." The human-shaped bones couldn't tell whether Bai Jin's spiritual roots were there or not.
Bai Jin wondered, "Who is the Imperial Master?" His eyes were full of curiosity. He knew nothing about this Imperial Master who suddenly appeared.
"You should have seen him. Probably the old man who lives near your place." said the human-shaped skeleton.
"Old man?" Bai Jin thought of the old man Bai in Su Yan's family, "Is the old man Bai the national teacher? Is it true? He seems to be pretending." Bai Jin still remembered that he called the old man Bai dad, and he couldn't help feeling a little grudge in his heart.
Then he said, "Shouldn't the title of Imperial Master belong to someone from the royal family?" Bai Jin was puzzled. Aren't Imperial Masters usually closely connected with the royal family, giving them advice and maintaining their rule?
Human-Shaped Bones "He originally belonged to the Emperor."
"You dare to use the old emperor's people?" Bai Jin remembered that the ghost town was almost a rebel stronghold.
"It was before, but no longer after you were born." The human-shaped skeleton's words were concise and clear, but they made Bai Jin even more confused.
"?" Bai Jin didn't understand what this meant. Could it be that Old Man Bai had done something that the old emperor had discovered? Was he being hunted down and thrown into the ghost town? Various theories flashed through Bai Jin's mind as he tried to sort it out.
"You guys like to talk so much, but you only tell half of the story? It's really hard for me to guess!" Bai Jin was speechless about these people who liked to keep people in suspense.
Humanoid Bones "I only have half the memory."
Bai Jinleng paused for a moment before saying "6." He really didn't know how to respond to this answer.
"Then why do you want to divide it into two halves?" Bai Jin continued to ask.
The humanoid skeleton replied directly, "Avoid people."
Bai Jin could still remember the gossip between her and the city lord, "To avoid the city lord? There's no need to split it into two halves, right?" Bai Jin's curiosity was completely aroused.
The humanoid skeleton answered without hiding anything, "I'm destined to live no longer than six months, but some things just shouldn't be done."
"Then what you're thinking about, doesn't she really know? People who like you will try every possible way to understand you." Bai Jin felt that Luosang knew it.
The human-shaped skeleton fell silent. She knew Luosang's character very well, but she didn't want to implicate Luosang anymore.
Bai Jin looked at the silent humanoid skeleton, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart. How could a person and their soul be together forever, let alone an ordinary person and a cultivator?
The humanoid skeleton suddenly looked at Bai Jin, as if knowing what Bai Jin was thinking, and said comfortingly, "Ordinary people will be reincarnated after death, but our souls will dissipate and no longer exist."
"Shouldn't the soul of a cultivator be able to reincarnate?" Bai Jin was full of doubts. In his understanding, cultivators possessed powerful strength and their souls should have more possibilities.
"Although the laws tend to be righteous, the soul does not belong to the righteous path. Forbidden techniques or possession of bodies are not allowed in the Zuo Realm. Some people who don't want to die will absorb another person's soul to strengthen their own soul body. What's the difference between this and evil ways?" There was a hint of contempt in the voice of the human-shaped skeleton.
He continued, "According to common sense, one should have an avatar after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage. Those who failed to ascend can be resurrected, but I can't." The tone of the human-shaped skeleton was full of helplessness.
The human-shaped bones did not tell anyone that her body had been used as a carrier of the ghost town formation two hundred years ago.
Bai Jin saw Luosang in the distance. Luosang was standing there quietly, her elegant clothes fluttering gently in the breeze. Her eyes were focused and affectionate, tightly locked on the human-shaped bones.
At this moment, Luosang's eyes looking at the human-shaped bones were so gentle and so passionate.
The human-shaped skeleton seemed to sense something as well, and tilted its head slightly to look in the direction of Luosang.
Luosang tried hard to restrain her urge to rush forward. She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
The human-shaped skeleton withdrew his gaze, and Luosang turned and left silently.
"She obviously loves you very much, why don't you give yourself a chance?" Bai Jin didn't understand why Gu Qingning rejected this relationship by avoiding her.
"I once entered a fantasy world, and what I saw was the future. There, I replayed every choice countless times, but the ending remained the same.
I saw the destruction of the ghost town, the disappearance of countless lives, and how Luosang risked everything for me but ended up with a tragic end.
I can't let this happen, so I can only choose to stay away from her, hoping that she can let me go and pursue her own future.
I know it's cruel to her, but I have no choice. I can't put her in danger because of my feelings. I would rather she hate me than be hurt because of me."
"Have you ever thought that staying away from her will also hurt her?" Bai Jin's words were filled with a hint of questioning and regret.
The humanoid skeleton trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence, it slowly said, "I know, but what can I do? I can't just watch her fall into despair because of me. My existence will only bring her more danger. I would rather she suffer now than endure greater disaster in the future."
Gu Qingning, who was in the center of the formation, instantly came to the human-shaped bones and merged his soul and consciousness into one.
Bai Jin saw only the human-shaped skeleton standing there motionless and lifeless, and looked at Gu Qingning beside him in confusion.
After a moment, Gu Qingning slowly stretched out his hand, which was white and slender, and gently touched the human-shaped bones.
"I didn't expect that Shen Shi would tell you everything about me." Gu Qingning turned his head slightly and looked at Bai Jin. There was a hint of emotion in Gu Qingning's eyes, and he seemed a little surprised by Shen Shi's actions.
"Actually, it was mostly what Lao Wang told me. I just can't quite understand your relationship." Bai Jin's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
He frowned slightly and continued, "In my opinion, love should be beautiful and warm, with two people accompanying each other and facing life's joys and sorrows together. But your relationship is full of avoidance and pain. You clearly love each other, but you avoid each other."
