Chapter 274 Dreamlike One
Chapter 274 Like a Dream (One of the Third Update)
In the yard, Qiao Ziru, who was about to touch the coffin, suddenly got patted on his shoulder.
She was startled, but heard the man behind her shout:
"Girl?"
Qiao Ziru smiled brightly in an instant, turned his head and saw an old woman with gray hair and floral cotton jacket.
"grandmother!"
Qiao Ziru hugged his grandmother and shouted happily.
"Good boy..."
Grandma squinted her eyes, smiled gently, and patted Qiao Ziru's back.
Qiao Ziru didn't know what was wrong with him, and tears flowed out completely uncontrollably. Didn't he just go out to school? I haven't seen my grandma for a while, why do I cry?
The red sun shone on her, and the surroundings were quiet and deserted, with only grandma and her hugging in front of the coffin.
However, grandma seems to have lost weight... she is shorter and has a cold body...
"Why are you here, girl? Alas..."
Grandma suddenly patted her head, and Qiao Ziru felt strange because there seemed to be a strange temperature in her grandma's hand, and her head was drilling into her body when she patted her.
"Didn't someone die in the family? Grandma, who is it?"
The old man in a floral cotton jacket looked at her and sighed softly.
"Okay... OK... It's okay if you come. If you come, you'll be with grandma and won't leave."
After saying that, the old man held Qiao Ziru's hand tightly and took her to the main hall.
"Let's go back to the house and rest..."
Qiao Ziru looked down at the hand held by grandma in a daze, and asked in confusion: "Grandma, isn't the coffin coming? Who passed away?"
The old man paused, his steps stopped for a moment, but he did not look back, but a sound came:
"Far Relatives."
"oh……"
Qiao Ziru suddenly felt that her hands and grandma's hands were very cold, very cold, but she couldn't feel cold.
The memories in my head were also chaotic and mottled, with some scattered fragments flashing by, and more of them were blank, as if they were covered by a layer of gauze. There was something about it, but I couldn't see it clearly.
Just as he was led to the door, Qiao Ziru suddenly stopped and asked, "Grandma, where are my... dad and mom?"
Although their parents had already formed a new family and didn't care much about her, for Qiao Ziru, the two were still her parents.
"They..." The old man turned around, looked at Qiao Ziru, and said, "I will come. You have a good rest tonight, and they will come tomorrow..."
For some reason, Qiao Ziru suddenly felt a little sad when she heard this. She stopped again and asked, "Grandma, I don't want to rest. I want to take a look in the yard. Is it OK?"
The old man kept holding her hand tightly and relaxed a little at this moment. He turned his head and looked at Qiao Ziru again, saying, "Okay, look..."
"But, don't touch this coffin again, it's unlucky."
Why did Qiao Ziru nod?
The old man finally let go of his hand and walked towards the main hall by himself.
Qiao Ziru just watched it, and there seemed to be a lot of incense in the main hall. She saw the cigarettes coming out of the incense spread out in wisps, wrapping around her grandmother's back, as if she brought her into a white mist.
"jingle……"
In a vague way, she seemed to hear a subtle ringtone, but in a daze, whether it was the ringtone or the grandmother in the smoke, she disappeared.
At this time, Qiao Ziru saw that the ground in the main hall was covered with flour.
But grandma obviously walked in, why didn’t she leave footprints?
Could it be that...these flour was sprinkled by grandma while entering the house?
She didn't understand, she was a little distracted just now and didn't see clearly.
It seems... there is a ringtone, what kind of ringtone is that...
The more Qiao Ziru thought about it, the less he understood.
She just felt that when she came back this time, many things in the village had changed.
Although it still looks the same...
But really, everything has changed, she just can't say it.

"jingle--"
Qiaojia Village, Qiao Ziru's yard.
Qin Manjiang, Mei Sijun, and the old Taoist put Qiao Ziru in the yard. The old Taoist held a bell in his hand, and with a light wave, it made a crisp sound.
“Is this thing useful?”
Qin Manjiang asked.
...
Qiao Ziru fainted for no reason, but a new strange story had already taken shape.
【Strange Talk: Returning the Soul.】
[Dead and live and that, and the person leaves and the soul returns]
Just now, Qin Manjiang gave the information from [Pupil Realm] to Mei Sijun and the old Taoist. The old Taoist looked ugly and said, "Miss Qiao was dragged into the soul-recovering night by that fierce ghost. You and me have already
He was caught up in the way."
What?
Neither Qin Manjiang nor Mei Sijun heard the reminder from [Pupil Realm], why did they say that they were also obsessed?
"Hey, Brother Mei, have you heard the sounds of the game starting?" Qin Manjiang asked in a low voice.
Mei Sijun shook his head.
The old Taoist seemed to know what they were thinking, so he simply used two guides to make candles and bounced into the dark night outside the yard.
In just a moment! The fire hit some invisible dark barrier and was not extinguished... but it was swallowed in an instant.
Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun are very familiar with this, which is clearly the boundary of the strange game!
The two of them immediately checked the entire yard for a week and found that Qiao Ziru's farmyard had indeed become a new place for the execution of the strange story.
But why did I have no reminder this time? Could it be that I insisted on ignoring it in the afternoon and did not accept guidance?
Qin Manjiang figured it out, and it seemed that the [Pupil Realm] created a new "game" by himself.
Open a weird game in such a narrow space?
Qin Manjiang couldn't believe it, how could he play this? There was no place to escape...
However, this time there is someone who looks very reliable.
The old Taoist was also trapped in this yard!
"Master, what should I do?" Qin Manjiang returned to the old Taoist and asked expectantly.
"What should I do?" The old Taoist looked helpless, "I am over fifty years old and it is the first time I have entered the rumored pupil world. I only know that in the records, if I do not break the curse, I will die and disappear. According to my opinion...
Miss Qiao's soul has been taken away by the fierce spirit. What we wait for the three of us will do is to pull her back before dawn of the soul."
So, is the name of this strange story about returning to the soul, not returning to the soul of the ghost, but returning to Qiao Ziru's soul?
If Qiao Ziru's soul cannot come back, the evil ghost will come back. Is that true?
Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun looked at each other. This old Taoist was indeed not simple. He felt that he knew everything...
At this time, the old Taoist took something from the waist of the gray Taoist robe. Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun were both surprised when they saw it: "Sanqing Ling?"
The old Taoist nodded: "I didn't expect you and the other two to recognize the Sanqing Bell. I'll try it, can I wake up this girl with the Sanqing Bell?"
So, he saw him slamming the bell and the crisp sound spread in the darkness.
"jingle--"
