Chapter 418
Zhu Yuanlin is actually not a native of Jiangzhou, but from Weihaiwei.

Song Ci was a little surprised when he heard this, because he thought of Lao Liang's daughter, Zhang Suling's new concubine Liang Hongyan.

Zhu Yuanlin is a student at Jiangzhou Agricultural University. After graduating six years ago, he worked for an Internet company in Shanghai, working in network architecture. The salary was pretty good, but life in Shanghai was still a bit tight.

This is so because he lives not as one person, but as two people.

He has a girlfriend named Tang Weiwei.

Graduated from Jiangzhou Normal University, the two have known each other since junior high school. They have been dating for four more years in college and have been together for almost ten years. Although they are not married, they have reached the point where they will not marry unless they are your king and your wife.

Because of his major, Zhu Yuanlin found a good job right after graduating from university, but the location was in Shanghai.

Although Tang Weiwei has obtained the teaching qualification certificate, she does not have an advantage in Shanghai. If she returns to her hometown of Weihaiwei or even stays in Jiangzhou City, she will have an advantage over Shanghai.

But for Zhu Yuanlin, she chose to go to Shanghai and found a clerical job that was not suitable for her. The salary was very low and the work was very hard.

But no matter what, the two have a deep relationship.

In addition, he has no intention of settling down in Shanghai, and the pressure is much less. Zhu Yuanlin plans to save some money and then return to Weihaiwei to buy an apartment and give Tang Weiwei a home.

But a normal physical examination at the company broke Zhu Yuanlin's life plan.

Advanced gastric cancer.

Zhu Yuanlin never thought that he would suffer from cancer, and it was still late-stage gastric cancer.

Although he had stomachaches from time to time, he just thought it was caused by a long-term irregular diet. There were many people like him in their company.

"When I learned the news, my mind went blank and I didn't even know what to say to her." Zhu Yuanlin said.

When he talks about this now, his expression is very calm, as if he has looked away.

"What happened next? What did you tell her?" Song Ci asked.

"I didn't tell her."

Song Ci: ...

"I resigned directly and returned to my hometown."

Zhu Yuanlin had a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Song Ci looked at him in surprise. This was too stupid. He just left without saying a word. How sad this girl was.

"I...I just don't want to drag her down."

"You can tell her directly and break up peacefully without dragging her down. It's really unethical for you to leave quietly like this."

"You don't understand. I have been with her for such a long time and I know her character very well. She is a very stubborn person. If I tell her about my illness, she will never agree to break up with me. If I die, It will probably take her a long time to get over this relationship."

Zhu Yuanlin had his reasons, and Song Ci had nothing to say about him.

But I asked curiously: "So what now? Has she come out of your relationship?"

"She's getting married soon."

Zhu Yuanlin looked at the lake in front of him, his expression neither sad nor happy, but Song Ci saw the moisture in the corners of his eyes.

"Oh, that's good. You didn't delay her." Song Ci said.

"A colleague in her company has always been very fond of her..."

Song Ci was a little stunned after hearing this. Zhu Yuanlin left suddenly and quietly, probably giving the person who had a good impression of his girlfriend a chance.

"So, your girlfriend is going to marry him?"

Zhu Yuanlin nodded. It seemed that Song Ci's guess was not wrong.

"So later on, did your girlfriend know about you?" Song Ci asked.

Zhu Yuanlin shook his head and said, "This matter has been kept hidden. She doesn't know about it."

Song Ci was a little surprised when he heard this, because Zhu Yuanlin said that he and his girlfriend had known each other since junior high school, which meant that the distance between the two families should not be very far.

Whenever Tang Weiwei returns home or goes back to look for him, she should know about him.

Zhu Yuanlin was actually very torn in his heart. He hoped that Tang Weiwei would forget him completely, and he also hoped that Tang Weiwei would go back and find him again. People are like this, they always like to waver.

But Tang Weiwei didn't go to find him, which made Zhu Yuanlin feel disappointed and relieved at the same time.

After his death and his current situation, he couldn't help but look back for Tang Weiwei, only to find that she had started a new relationship.

While Zhu Yuanlin felt sad in his heart, he was also happy that Tang Weiwei could find a husband.

"In that case, what else can't you let go of?" Song Ci asked.

When Zhu Yuanlin heard this, his face was full of confusion, because he didn't know it himself.

"Also, why are you here?" Song Ci asked again.

"Because this is the place where I first confessed my love to Weiwei. That night, the fireworks were bright."

Zhu Yuanlin looked up at the sky. There were no bright fireworks in the sky at this time, only the afterglow of the setting sun, shining on the sparkling Wanjia Lake, rising and falling with the waves, like burning flames, but with a hint of sadness.

But Song Ci's gaze was not on this, but on a pendant around Zhu Yuanlin's neck.

This is the real reason that attracted Song Ci to come.

It is said that after death, people should be naked and have no possessions, but in reality this is not the case.

After a person dies, his clothes, accessories, etc., will remain in their pre-death state. This is a reflection of consciousness and a rule.

But the pendant around Zhu Yuanlin's neck is definitely not a reflection of consciousness.

But Zhu Yuanlin himself doesn’t know yet.

So Song Ci directly asked: "Can you show me the pendant around your neck?"

"Pendant?" Zhu Yuanlin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There is a white pendant hanging on the chest, shaped like a length of bamboo, with a golden silk thread in the middle, in a spiral shape, which looks very delicate and artistic.

Zhu Yuanlin took off the pendant from his neck and took a closer look, but he didn't see the reason.

"this is……"

Zhu Yuanlin held the pendant and did not hand it to Song Ci immediately. Instead, he asked, with curiosity and a hint of vigilance.

Song Ci did not hide it from him, and said directly: "You have to see it to know. In short, this is not an ordinary thing."

Zhu Yuanlin hesitated for a moment, looked at the pendant again, and finally handed it to Song Ci.

He was a little surprised to see that the moment the pendant fell into Song Ci's hand, it turned from an illusion into a real object. He looked at Song Ci warily, fearing that he would snatch it away.

Because he realized that this could be a treasure.

After Song Ci looked through it in his hand, he placed it on the bench between the two of them, only to find that the pendant was still placed quietly on the bench after it left Song Ci's palm.

"What is this?" Zhu Yuanlin asked pretending to be casual.

At the same time, he reached out and took the pendant back.

Song Ci looked at his poor acting with a smile and didn't expose it, but he didn't answer the question either.

Instead, he asked: "Where did you get this thing from?" At this time, Zhu Yuanlin was also surprised, because he discovered that this item could actually switch between real objects and illusions, and could exist without him.

After his death, he was very curious about his current state, so he did many experiments. After becoming a soul, not only was he invisible and unable to be heard by others, but he was also unable to pick up anything.

He summarized it himself and believed that in his soul state, he was actually a ball of conscious energy, so he could not interfere with the material world.

But he didn't expect that the pendant that had been hanging around his neck would break such boundaries.

Baby, this must be a great treasure, he was ecstatic.

Zhu Yuanlin felt a little disappointed when Song Ci didn't answer, but asked him instead.

However, he still forced himself to calm down and explained: "This is inherited from my family."

Hearing this, Song Ci smiled slightly and did not continue to ask further on this issue.

Instead, he opened his mouth and explained to him: "This is called reincarnation bamboo."

"Reincarnation Bamboo?"

While Zhu Yuanlin showed doubts, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. To be called such a name must be a great treasure.

"To put it bluntly, it is actually a finger bone, or a child's finger bone."

"Human bones?"

Zhu Yuanlin was shocked when he heard this. He quickly lowered his head and took a closer look. It didn't feel like a human finger bone at all.

Zhu Yuanlin raised his head and looked at Song Ci suspiciously.

But Song Ci didn't explain it to him. Instead, he stood up directly, patted his shoulder and said, "Just take care of yourself."

After that, he walked directly towards Wanghu Ancient City across the road.

When Zhu Yuanlin heard this, he was confused and wanted to stop Song Ci. He opened his mouth, but he didn't dare. He was worried that his treasure would be taken away by Song Ci.

After hesitating for a while, I decided to do some research on my own first.

At this time, Song Ci, who was heading to the ancient city of Wanghu, also fell into deep thought.

After obtaining the [Reincarnation Bamboo] just now, Song Ci already knew the origin of this thing through the jar.

The so-called "Reincarnation Bamboo" literally means that people can be reincarnated from death.

But it does not mean that the wearer is reincarnated from the dead, but that the wearer dies and the giver lives.

The original owner of the Reincarnation Bamboo used this method to steal other people's bodies and lifespans. This is similar to Zhang Suling's [Soul-Expelling Whip].

But [Reincarnation Bamboo] is more subtle and more sinister.

[Soul Expelling Whip] only drives the soul out of the body, and then achieves the purpose of occupying the dove's nest.

[Reincarnation Bamboo] is different. It will not only absorb the wearer's vitality, but also his lifespan, destiny, etc., will be completely absorbed.

To put it simply, it means cannibalism, people eat people, and they devour a person completely. It is extremely vicious.

After a person is born, his lifespan and destiny are actually already determined.

Of course, this fixed number is not set in stone. Life span and destiny change all the time due to different choices.

Just like you take a pen and put an ink dot on a piece of paper, this dot represents your birth.

When you follow this point, draw a line extending forward. The length and shape of the line are your lifespan and destiny. No one knows how long the line is and what its shape is until you finish drawing it.

And when this pen stops, your life span will come to an end and your destiny will be completely ended.

This is the fate that exists in everyone.

And [Reincarnation Bamboo] takes advantage of this and cleverly steals the fate of others in order to achieve eternal life.

Although this method is clever, it is more vicious than a bird occupying a dove's nest, because if you want to completely replace a person's destiny, it means that one ink dot covers another ink dot. This is actually man-eating, devouring in disguise.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanlin's death was not an accident, but someone deliberately planned to devour Zhu Yuanlin's fate.

The golden spiral pattern on the [Reincarnation Bamboo] is the external manifestation of the destiny that swallowed up part of Zhu Yuanlin. When the [Reincarnation Bamboo] completely turns golden, Zhu Yuanlin will be completely swallowed up and his soul will be annihilated.

When the time comes, the true owner of the [Reincarnation Bamboo] will appear, take away the [Reincarnation Bamboo], and then live in the world instead of Zhu Yuanlin's destiny.

When Zhu Yuanlin's life span is exhausted, he will choose another target to steal and steal the opponent's destiny to achieve the goal of eternal life.

And for those who can do such a trick, it goes without saying that the [Reincarnation Bamboo] must also be the product of the jar. I don't know which owner could come up with such a sinister idea.

The reason why Song Ci did not point it out to Zhu Yuanlin was because even if Song Ci pointed it out, he might not believe it, and he might even suspect that Song Ci wanted to possess his treasure, so it was better to let it develop and wait for its owner. appears automatically.

Of course, Song Ci didn't do anything. The pat on his shoulder just now left a layer of protection on him.

You can't just watch him lose his mind.

but--

When Song Ci entered the gate of Wanghu Ancient City, he couldn't help but look back.

Since the other party chose to steal Zhu Yuanlin's destiny, it shows that Zhu Yuanlin's destiny is by no means mediocre.

Not only will you live a long life, but your destiny will definitely be excellent.

If he lives normally, he will definitely achieve special achievements in some aspects in the future.

Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to just steal an ordinary person's conclusions. Of course, these are all speculations of Song Ci.

But after entering the ancient city, Song Ci temporarily left these things behind.

He took out his mobile phone and called Yun Shiqi first, asking where they were, and then walked in slowly.

Today's Wanghu Ancient Town is particularly prosperous and lively. The shops on both sides are full of lanterns and all kinds of colorful lights. When they are all lit up at night, it will be very beautiful.

When Song Ci found Yun Shiqi and his group, Nuan Nuan was holding a rabbit lantern in his hand.

And what Xiao Ma Yuan is holding is a lotus lantern.

In Ma Xinyue's hand is a goldfish lantern.

Ma Xinqiang's hands were empty, presumably because he was a little older and had lost interest in these things.

These lights are not made of paper, but are made of plastic. They have a switch. When turned on, they will not only light up, but also play music. They will move and rotate along with the music.

"dad."

Seeing Song Ci, Nuannuan immediately came up to him with a lamp in hand.

"Does it look good?"

She happily showed Song Ci the lamp on her hand and pressed the switch at the same time.

"nice."

Song Ci stretched out his hand to hug her, but suddenly became curious in his heart.

What is the number that belongs to Nuannuan?
