In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 659: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 31

"It's getting late, let's just leave it at that for today." Seeing that it was getting dark, Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye had no idea how to break through the spatial barrier and enter the world in the painting. It was not good to waste any more time, so Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye said hello and went to the side room in the back hall.

Before going to bed at night, Ruyi took out her usual bedding from the space as usual. Just as she put it on the bed, Ruyi suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

"Soul space is also space. Since my consciousness can enter and exit soul space at will, I think as long as I am familiar with this key, I can also enter the painting wall space."

"In the original text, the way the spirits in the painting absorb the essence is not through the body, but by using the soul-enchanting trick to lead the spirit into the world in the painting. So as long as I can find a way to transform the consciousness into the soul, I can use the soul to directly open the entrance to the painting wall space just like using the consciousness to open the soul space?"

Do whatever you think of. Ruyi immediately gave up his usual practice and started to open the space in various ways to take things back and forth. He experimented like this for a whole night, and by dawn, Ruyi's spiritual power was almost exhausted.

Zhiqiu Yiye prepared breakfast and came to call Ruyi to eat. He didn't expect that Ruyi's face became much paler after just one night away from her. He was so scared that he thought Ruyi was sick.

"Senior, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

"Ah, that, it's okay, I just consumed too much spiritual consciousness." Ruyi did not hide anything and told Zhiqiu Yiye his guess about entering the painting wall space. Zhiqiu Yiye's eyes lit up after hearing it, "Senior, wait a minute, I'll go back and get something!"

Soon Zhiqiu Yiye ran back with excitement on his face. While breathing heavily, he carefully took out a special talisman from his arms.

"Senior, look at this, it's a soul-leaving-body talisman!"

"With this talisman, we can directly leave our bodies and enter the world of the painted wall!"

Seeing the talisman in Zhiqiu Yiye's hand, Ruyi suddenly had a bad feeling. She remembered that the reason why Zhiqiu Yiye died in the plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" was because he used this talisman to go to the underworld, but when he returned, his soul was accidentally blown away by a strange wind from nowhere.

Unable to return to his physical body within the stipulated time, Zhiqiu Yiye died, and his soul disappeared without a trace.

"This talisman cannot be used. This time you are responsible for protecting my body outside. If our souls enter the world of the painted wall, what will happen to our bodies?"

"But..." Zhiqiu Yiye wanted to object.

"No buts, Zhiqiu Yiye, you know, once our soul leaves the body, the physical body will become extremely fragile. If some bad guy comes at that time, we will die instantly." Ruyi could not directly tell Zhiqiu Yiye the ending of the plot, so she could only use this reason to persuade him.

Besides, this reason was not really just an excuse. It was indeed a very good arrangement for the current situation. Zhiqiu Yiye naturally understood this. Although he felt a little regretful, he still nodded and agreed to Ruyi's arrangement.

"In the next few days, I will first familiarize myself with the method of leaving the body, and prepare more talismans that can be used for defense. When everything is ready, we will take action."

It was not easy to find the painting wall, so there was no need to rush. Coincidentally, Ruyi planned to take action in a few days, and the female spirits in the painting wall also hoped that she could take action a few days later. Their Majesty, "Zhigong Majesty", was still in seclusion. If Ruyi took action now, the spirits in the entire painting wall world would not be her opponent at all.

Everything is fine on Ruyi's side for the time being, but Yan Chixia encounters a strange thing.

There was a Wang family in Gaoyou. The head of the family, Wang Nai, had been dead for two days, but suddenly came back to life on the third night of his funeral.

On the day Wang Nai was resurrected, his brother Wang Ding suddenly returned home from the north. As soon as he got home, he closed the doors and windows of his house and locked the door. It was not until seven days later that he reopened the door and removed the mourning banners. Only then did people know that Wang Nai was resurrected. All relatives and friends who came to inquire about the situation knew that Wang Nai's resurrection was related to his brother Wang Ding.

What is even more bizarre is that shortly after Wang Ding's brother came back to life, Wang Ding went out and dug up an old grave, took out a female skeleton from the rotten coffin, and carried the skeleton back home overnight.

From then on, Wang Ding seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He would sleep every day and night while hugging the skeleton. His family and friends were so scared that they didn't dare to talk to Wang Ding in person. Who would have thought that the skeleton would regain life, gradually warm up, and wake up in just three days. After seven days, he was able to get out of bed and walk, and he also changed his clothes to meet his brother and sister-in-law.

The resurrected woman was as beautiful as a goddess, but she could not walk more than ten steps without someone to support her, otherwise she would sway in the wind, like a candle in the wind that would disappear at any time.

"Resurrection from the dead is not uncommon in this world, but it is rare for people to be resurrected one after another like the Wang family, and one of them has been dead for many years."

Yan Chixia became interested and changed his route to Gaoyou after hearing about the story of the Wang family in Gaoyou. After arriving in Gaoyou, Yan Chixia heard that the protagonist of the story, Wang Ding, did not believe in Buddhism originally, but became a devout Buddhist believer after his brother and his wife were resurrected one after another.

"Could it be that the resurrected relatives in this person's family are related to Buddhists?" Yan Chixia had some guesses, but he didn't know much about Buddhism, so he didn't come to any conclusion.

But in the end, Yan Chixia couldn't resist his curiosity and chose to visit Wang Ding. It was from Wang Ding that Yan Chixia heard about the specific situation of the underworld for the first time.

It was during this visit that Yan Chixia learned that the underworld was in the same chaos as the world of the living. Even the ghosts in the underworld who came to collect souls would see whether the dead had given enough paper money. Those who did not give enough would be treated as "traitors" regardless of whether they were good or bad in life.

At the same time, the strength of the ghost messengers has become extremely weak in the chaotic and corrupt underworld environment. Even an ordinary person like Wang Ding can kill the ghost messengers at will and bring their dead souls back to the human world.

After listening to Wang Ding's description, Yan Chixia felt as if his burning heart was pressed into ice water, and it instantly became cold. "If this continues, is there any hope for this world?"

That is to say, Yan Chixia is separated from Ruyi now, otherwise Ruyi would definitely tell him on the spot that this world is hopeless. Although Ruyi really has a "rescue mission" hanging on him, after the experience of this year, Ruyi feels that the boss of Tiandao who brought him in is indeed a bit whimsical.

There are endless monsters to catch, female ghosts die and come back to life again and again, and never have a peaceful life, the ghost messengers and evil spirits are either selfish or motivated by profit, and even the 'decent fairies' who finally appear either become good wives and mothers to scholars or choose to marry them out of sympathy for the poor scholar.

Ruyi is so crazy that I really don’t know how to save her!
