I'm not the underworld

Chapter 296 The Spirit of the Book
Chen Yifan didn't know that the moths under him started to have their own ideas, stepped out, and returned to the facade leading to the underworld.

It should have been.

However, what appeared in front of Chen Yifan now was an unexpected scene.

Green bricks and green tiles, moss marks mottled, the sound of reading books came from a private school next to it.

The gurgling water came from under the feet.

Looking around, he was standing on a bluestone bridge. The bridge was quite old, and there were shallow cracks and small pits in some places, which looked like it had been through the years.

The weather is a bit gloomy, the sun is hidden behind the clouds, but the sound of books and the gurgling water full of vitality show the vigor of life in this loneliness.

Chen Yifan was still in a daze, a group of children carrying green cloth schoolbags bounced past him and rushed past him.

If he pays attention, he can see these children pass through him as if incorporeal when they hit him.

Chen Yifan did notice that these were all illusions.

Except for a scholar in blue who was walking towards Chen Yifan from the other end of the stone bridge.

The person dressed as a scholar only looked like he was in his twenties. Although he was walking step by step, Chen Yifan could tell that it was floating.

This scholar is not an entity, but at least it is a real existence, a spirit body.

Generally speaking, spirit bodies are mostly ghosts, souls that leave the body after the death of a living being.

And the one in front of him is just a spirit, not a soul.

He has never been born, never died, and is not a ghost.

Seeing him, Chen Yifan's bewildered expression had calmed down. He had known for a long time that there was something wrong with the "cheap house" that Wen Su rented.

However, although it was messy here before, there was no overly yin energy, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now it seems, no wonder!
Only places where ghosts often live will accumulate too much yin energy, but pure spirits will not.

Spirit can be said to be a pure, conscious energy with various attributes, not necessarily Yin.

Like ghosts and ghosts, spirits can be both good and bad.

I don't know if the one in front of me is good or bad, what's the purpose of showing up at this time?
Just judging from his spiritual body, he doesn't have much evil aura, he is neutral and mellow, quite Confucian.

"Nian Xin has met the immortal elder!" The scholar in green shirt performed a fairly standard etiquette to Chen Yifan. It can be seen that he restrained himself with etiquette, which was a bit old-fashioned, but it shouldn't be too bad.

"What does this mean?" Chen Yifan turned his head to look around and asked with a smile.

The scholar in green shirt smiled shyly: "This house has not been tidied up for a long time, it is very simple, I dare not use this humble room to receive the immortal elder."

"Why do you call me Xianchang?" Chen Yifan asked again, since this guy has been here all this time, he should have seen that he just went to the underworld, right?

"Although Nian Xin doesn't know the origin of the immortal head, but from what I've seen just now, the immortal head should work in the underworld." Nian Xin replied honestly.

Otherwise, it is impossible to drive ghosts like that.

Ghost messengers are considered low-level ghost immortals, let alone those who can drive ghost messengers.

"Seeing that the Immortal Elder is also a book-loving and studious person, Nian Xin asked the Immortal Elder to help me. Nian Xin is willing to follow the Immortal Elder to repay this kindness." Immediately, Nian Xin somewhat eagerly explained his intention.

Chen Yifan found that his spiritual body had become somewhat dim.

"Are you He Ling?" Chen Yifan did not answer directly, but asked.

Although no matter what kind of spirit, there are both good and bad sides, but the type of spirit body will generally affect their xinxing.

"Nian Xin is a book spirit." Nian Xin bowed his head and replied.

"It turns out that the world is talking about a book fairy, but I can help you if you are busy. Please tell me what happened here!" Chen Yifan said, his eyes brightened slightly after listening.

The system told him that the book spirit is what the world calls a book fairy. He is very knowledgeable and can read any book in front of him in an instant.

Generally, the older the book spirits are, the more profound their knowledge is. It is even rumored that there are thousands of years of book spirits who know everything and know everything.

For Chen Yifan, a crazy student, it would be great to have a book fairy following him!
"This is also related to the favor I want to ask the fairy to help."

Nian Xin replied with a wry smile.

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Chen Yifan asked curiously.

If Nian Xin was a good book spirit, how could he make this place such a mess.

"Thirty years ago, Nian Xin was born from an ancient book, which was collected by an old man and used to read it from time to time."

"As time went by, Nian Xin accidentally showed his tracks in front of that old gentleman. After several trials, he discovered my existence."

"The old gentleman is very knowledgeable, and he is quite proficient in the theory of a hundred schools of thought in China. We often have long talks."

"In this way, we became close friends and we have been together for more than ten years. Later, the old man opened a bookstore here, and there is an elementary school nearby, and children often come to buy books... Those days are really fast!" , Nian Xin was full of nostalgia and emotion.

"Unfortunately, the good times don't last long."

"Later, the old man's son became addicted to gambling. When he came to the bookstore to ask the old man for money, he actually did something to the old man. Nian Xin couldn't help but teach him a lesson." Speaking of this, Nian Xin He couldn't help but grinned.

Then he smiled wryly again: "But it also attracted a Taoist priest to come to "catch ghosts"."

"Of course the old man refused to give in, and started a dispute with them."

"The Taoist priest was here at that time, and his young strength was still meager, so he didn't dare to show up, but he didn't want them to push and push the old man to death."

"Later..." Nian Xin took a careful look at Chen Yifan.

"Later, Nian Xin couldn't bear to part with the old man, and hid him when the ghost messenger came to fetch the old man's soul."

"Although the old man stayed with me in the human world, but because he didn't want to do evil and suck the yang energy of others, and he didn't practice exercises, his soul became weaker and weaker."

"Nian Xin has been protecting her with spiritual power all these years, but recently, the old man seems to be dying."

"Since the Immortal Elder is a ghost in the Underworld, I implore the Immortal Elder to help the old man enter the Underworld and reincarnate!" Nian Shen knelt down in front of Chen Yifan, and his spirit felt sad again.

No wonder Chen Yifan didn't notice him, but he came out by himself. This is because he just saw Chen Yifan driving a ghost messenger!

"Isn't this your own evil? According to your words, the old man should be a good person. If the ghost guard took it, he should have been reincarnated a long time ago." Chen Yifan curled his lips and said.

If it was in the past, he would definitely understand what Nian Xin did.

But as the influence of the priesthood deepened, he no longer understood so much, people and this unwise spirit, obsession with life and death.

"Nian Xin made a mistake ignorantly, please give Nian Xin a chance to make up for it!" Nian Xin bowed his head, with a sincere expression.

"Let me meet him!" Chen Yifan paused and thought for a while.
