In Dajiang City, the winter that is about to leave seems a bit reluctant and wants to leave something behind, so it seems that Dajiang City has been extremely cold in the past few days.
Pedestrians on the street were wrapped particularly thickly, and even the women who preferred style over warmth also wore thick thermal stockings.
Although it still seems useless, for women, these seem to be enough.
This is something that doesn't happen often. After all, this is Dajiang City. Dajiang City is known as spring-like city all year round. This year's climate is the weirdest in history, and it's unreasonably cold.
Many people are talking about it. Some people say that this change is probably due to the last mirage. Some people say that it is due to the recent large-scale animal deaths in the North and South Poles, which has caused the ecological chain to break, thus affecting the world.
climate.
The former is a guess made by ordinary people, and many people support this statement, while the latter is a speculation made by some private experts, and many people support it, and some even outperform the former by many.
After all, private experts are still somewhat convincing.
Each of the two statements has its own truth, and no one can tell the other. Both parties insist on their own opinions and refuse to give in to each other.
On the contrary, it was so noisy that no one could convince anyone, and it was very lively.
But fortunately, they were all just chatting online, and there was no offline chatting.
As for whether the coldness in Dajiang City was caused by the last mirage, or whether it was caused by the large-scale death of animals in the Arctic and Antarctic, which caused the ecological chain to break, thus affecting the global climate.
None of this is actually important, at least not to the official point of view.
Inside the tailor's shop, the candlelight flickered. Even in the daytime, the tailor's shop still looked a little dim with the candles lit.
I don’t know what the old man in the tailor shop thinks, but he has never been willing to install electricity, even if it is free.
Lin Qian also asked the old man, but the old man just shook his head and refused to say more, so Lin Qian stopped asking any more questions.
The candlelight danced slightly, and Coco was wearing a bright red windbreaker hand-sewn by Mr. Fang, looking extremely happy.
The clothes were exactly the same as her father's. Although the size was different and not exactly the same as her father's, she was still very happy.
Just like that she was very satisfied.
The old man looked at the cheerful Coco, his face full of kindness. This little girl really likes this dress. You can tell by how happy she is after seven or eight days.
One of the favorite things about this little girl is that she loves the new and never gets tired of the old.
"Young man Yang, are you coming here this time to ask about things during the Republic of China?"
The old man looked at the young man sitting on a chair and asked.
"Well, it seems that Lin Qian should have said hello to you."
Yang Jian looked around for a moment. This was his first time coming to this tailor shop.
It was also the first time I came to the territory of the old people of the Republic of China.
The shop is quite normal, no different from the previous tailor shop, except that the clothes it makes are different.
Looking at the four or five colorful ghost shrouds on the shelf, Yang Jian was secretly stunned. These clothes were not easy to put on.
If the ghosts on you are not strong enough and the supernatural power cannot suppress these shrouds, then you will die if you put them on, without any exception.
"Lin Qian hasn't come back yet? How long has it been? Is it possible that he is still controlling ghost paintings?"
After Yang Jian looked at the shop for a while, he continued to ask, looking a little confused as to why Lin Qian hadn't come back yet.
"I don't know about this, but I guess it won't take long. I'm not sure about the specific time, but it won't be too long."
The old man took a sip of tea, looked at Coco who was squatting at the door looking at his mobile phone, smiled and said.
"Is that so? I understand."
Yang Jian suddenly realized that Lin Qian should be controlling the ghost painting now, maybe he was at a critical point, and it was normal to spend more time.
The last time he was hanged, it took him seven days to resurrect. For a powerful ghost like Gui Hua, it would be right for him to take more time.
If you can master it in one day, then it is not an S-level supernatural event ghost painting.
"Originally, I came here for two reasons. One was to ask Lin Qian to go with me to Dajing City for training, and to take a look at the captain's plan."
"Secondly, I came here to ask for some secrets about the Republic of China period. I have been pursuing things about the Republic of China period intentionally or unintentionally, but there have been no results, so I want to know a little bit about it."
Speaking of this, Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly:
"Now it seems that there is no need to expect the first thing. Then I can trouble the old man to tell me some secrets about the Republic of China period. I will be very grateful."
After hearing this, the old man nodded, with a helpless expression on his face. He looked away from Coco and looked at Yang Jian. He was silent for a while, as if he was remembering something.
Seeing this, Yang Jian did not disturb the old man, but just waited quietly, silently.
After a while, a flash of anger flashed in the old man's eyes. Although it passed away briefly, Yang Jian was still keenly aware of it. Although he was a little confused, he did not ask anything.
The old man exhaled a long breath, and his face slowly became a little sad:
"Boy, actually the secrets of the Republic of China are not as much as you think..."
The old man thought for a moment, and after a while, he seemed to remember how to describe it:
"So mysterious, yes, it is mysterious."
"Actually, if you think about it, you will know that the Republic of China is only a hundred years old, so what secrets can there be."
Hearing what the old man said, Yang Jian was extremely surprised:
"According to what you said, there are no secrets in the Republic of China?"
"But this is wrong. Those old houses, weird supernatural objects, and rooms made of gold, these alone are enough to show that the Republic of China was not simple."
Yang Jian shook his head in disbelief.
Hearing Yang Jian's words, the old man suddenly realized:
"No wonder, it turns out to be like this, no wonder."
The old man smiled, shook his head and said:
"The things you mentioned are actually just what some ghost masters left behind after their deaths during the Republic of China. As for the rooms you said were made of gold, it's not that easy to confirm. You have to go in to find out what period it was from.
.”
"Anyway, the matter is very complicated and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. Of course, if you are interested, I can also explain it."
The candlelight flickered, and under the candlelight, Yang Jian could clearly see the wrinkles on the old man's face.
The old man is quite old. It is not easy to survive from the Republic of China to now.
"Old man, what do you mean, apart from the Republic of China period, are there other periods left?"
"But according to my current understanding, doesn't the origin of all supernatural beings, including ghosts, only date back to the Republic of China?"
Yang Jian was very keen and captured the key information in the old man's words. He had to enter the golden room to determine what period it was.
This is a bit creepy. Yang Jian always thought that everything started in the Republic of China. There were speculations before, but they were all overturned one by one without substantive evidence. All the information pointed to the Republic of China, and
Not before the Republic of China.
"Boy, you are wrong. Fierce ghosts have existed since ancient times. Fierce ghosts are not only found in the Republic of China."
"Otherwise, the situation during the Republic of China would have been gone long ago."
"Moreover, where do you think those myths and stories come from? Do you really think there are gods, golden Arhats, and jade-faced Bodhisattvas in the world?"
"Boy, you still think too little."
Hearing the old man's words, Yang Jian Tong Kong shrank slightly and was extremely shocked.
"Boy, you don't need to know too much about the past, because my knowledge is limited. After all, I was not born in that era."
"So, if you want to ask me about my predecessors, you are asking the wrong person. The old man only knows about the Republic of China period, and knows very little about the rest."
Yang Jian was slightly silent. After the initial shock, his mentality had already returned to what it was before.
Although the information revealed by the old man was not much, it still let him know a lot, at least he knew that evil ghosts did not only exist in the Republic of China.
The old man looked at Yang Jian who was silent, shook his head and sighed:
"Young man Yang, you should learn more from Mr. Lin. He never pursues the secrets of his predecessors and the Republic of China. This is actually not necessary. When your strength reaches a certain level, you can go further and further on the road of being a ghost controller.
When you are far away, many truths will naturally surface."
"There's no need to pursue it hard at all, it's just a waste of time."
"It was okay during the Republic of China. If you look for any old man who survived the Republic of China, you can know this. But for the predecessors, it is more difficult. Basically everyone knows very little, and you can even say that it is not
Know."
Yang Jian looked up at the old man, thought for a moment, and then his eyes flashed red:
"Old man, let's talk about what happened during the Republic of China. We'll talk about our predecessors later."
"I'm now curious about what happened during the Republic of China, and why all the information points to the Republic of China. Is this the result of someone's intentional actions or just letting nature take its course."
The old man shook his head and did not say anything else. Anyway, he would be disappointed after knowing:
"Okay, let me tell you. In fact, there are really no secrets in the Republic of China. Boy, do you know the history of the Republic of China?"
At this point, the old man continued talking without waiting for Yang Jian to nod his answer:
"Actually, that's all the secrets of the Republic of China: wars, separatist vassal towns, an endless stream of warlords of all sizes, concessions, and mass deaths."
"These are recorded in the history of this era. They seem normal, but the fighting was very chaotic and very miserable."
"But have you ever thought about it, what if you think the warlord leaders are all ghost masters? Are the foreigners who invaded also ghost masters?"
"Is this going to get worse?"
"It has been in chaos ever since an ordinary woman thought she was humiliated and declared war. At that time, the inheritance left by the predecessors was still there, as were the methods of controlling and suppressing evil ghosts."
"By the way, what I'm talking about is the method of completely controlling the evil ghost and completely suppressing the evil ghost, not the current method."
"But after that woman declared war, everything changed. A small part of the evil ghosts that had been suppressed by the predecessors revived, the inheritance was lost, chaos began, and evil ghosts kept appearing."
"Coupled with the enemy's invasion, everything will be over. You should know the history that follows. Concessions appeared one after another. People were like pigs and dogs, and women were reduced to prostitutes."
"As for why the ghost controllers of that period chose to bow to the foreigners, it's simple. They couldn't be defeated. When the inheritance was cut off, they couldn't be defeated."
"In foreign countries at that time, their inheritance was still there. Although they were weak, they were not easy to revive. But even so, they were not able to resist at that time."
"After all, you know how dangerous it is to control a ghost."
"In this way, a ridiculous era appeared. It was only a few decades. It was said to be a hundred years, but was it really a hundred years?"
Having said this, the old man's face was full of loneliness, and he let out a long sigh:
"What happened later was rather weird. In the last ten years, there seemed to be many weird changes. Powerful ghost controllers appeared one after another, solving the resurgence of supernatural beings that occurred during the Republic of China. Until the resurgence of supernatural beings a few months ago
recovery."
"The situation abroad is even weirder. Their inheritance has been cut off for some unknown reason, completely and completely."
"So this is the reason why there have never been as many ghost masters abroad as there are domestic ghost masters."
Yang Jian listened carefully, silent, and the look in his eyes was even more unclear. In fact, what the old man said was meaningless. He just roughly understood the cause and effect. The old man summarized many things and selectively skimmed them.
Pass.
But even so, he had guessed the outcome of the Republic of China.
The old man looked at the flickering candle, and his thoughts seemed to go back to that tragic era. Some people followed the trend, some nodded and bowed, and some even gave up their wives and daughters in order to survive to please foreigners.
Some people are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the righteousness of their family and country and the survival of their nation, just to let their companions control an extremely terrifying and garbage ghost.
There are also people who, for the sake of their companions, are willing to die in the hands of evil spirits and foreigners one by one, just to test out the evil ghost's killing patterns and figure out how to control them.
One after another, the scene after scene echoed in the old man's mind. He remembered it very clearly and could not forget it. Therefore, he was not disgusted with what Lin Qian had done, but was somewhat pleased.
Moral humanity can only be picked up and used after the nation survives.
Just like if you tell a starving person not to hunt winter birds, this is the easiest way to die.
"Having heard it now, you should have guessed part of the truth. In fact, it is very clear. Therefore, after the powerful ghost controllers during the Republic of China eliminated those powerful ghosts, they all guarded their respective territories."
"Without exception, there are many evil ghosts imprisoned in those realms. For example, the old guy in Ghost Mail is named Luo Wensong. He is responsible for managing the post office and always pays attention to whether there are any evil ghosts resurrecting in the country."
"If there is, let the messenger take the letter to find someone who specializes in handling this matter. The ghost controllers at that time were collectively called the city emperors, and it was this type of person who dealt with the evil ghosts that were about to revive."
"That's how we lived a stable life for a while, until now."
"The resurrection of Li Gui is actually very simple. All the people in the Republic of China died, and because most of the inheritance was broken, there is no new person to take over as the city emperor, and there is no one to deal with the resurrection of Li Gui."
"That's how we are now."
Hearing this, Yang Jian's mind was a little confused. He didn't know if it was because the old man said it was confusing, or because his understanding was not strong enough. Anyway, he was a little confused.
Yang Jian frowned, quickly sorting out the information the old man said in his mind, and after a while he said:
"Old man, according to you, it started when a certain woman went crazy and declared war, and most of the inheritance left by the predecessors was cut off in an instant."
"Then because of the interruption of the inheritance, the evil ghosts began to revive. There was no one to deal with and suppress them. Coupled with the wars during that period, everything began to become chaotic."
"It wasn't until later that the evil ghosts revived more, and powerful ghost controllers began to appear, and they slowly took control of the situation. In addition, the inheritance abroad was completely discontinued due to unknown reasons."
"That's why there was stability after the Republic of China. The powerful ghost masters who survived began to comprehensively suppress the supernatural incidents in the country until they were completely subsided."
"But due to the broken inheritance and the suppression of all supernatural events, no new ghost masters could emerge. This resulted in the old ghost masters dying one by one, and the suppressed ghosts reviving one by one until they fully recovered.
"
"This is also the reason why our generation appeared. All those supernatural objects were left behind after their death. Many of the arrangements were also made by them. Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them were originally left behind by their predecessors. They at least
Just strengthen the pressure."
"And because the inheritance is cut off, our generation all has to find its own way and find a new path to control the evil ghosts."
At this point, Yang Jian has successfully sorted out every piece of information the old man said. To sum up, in one sentence, the Republic of China was really ruined.
One word came out from the beginning and the end: miserable, extremely miserable.
If what the old man said is true, and combined with the recorded history, the Republic of China was really outrageous, outrageous to the sky.
Now that I think about it, why was it so confusing during the Republic of China? It was because of this.
