Chapter 799 Don’t Be a Cannon Fodder in a Double-Travel Story 16
Yun Yi knows the plot of this world, but the plot also revolves around the male and female protagonists, Ji Jin and Song Wanwan.
There is not much description of the worldview of the entire world, so he doesn't know what kind of existence the soul is in the setting of this world.
What is certain is that there is a ghost on every memorial tablet placed in this room.
He didn't know whether there were souls in the memorial tablets placed elsewhere.
But it is obvious that not all souls will continue to wander the world after death, otherwise the streets would have been crowded with ghosts, and the souls he had seen before arriving here could be counted on one hand.
Some people's souls are placed in memorial tablets to receive commemorations from future generations; others should have been reincarnated or gone to another world.
Yun Yi looked around. The talisman was stuck on Shu Nan's back. With Shu Nan, his closest relative, leading him, Shu Xi could walk out of the room.
After the group arrived at Shu Nan's house in Gangcheng, Yun Yi began to prepare to extract Song Wanwan's soul and let Shu Xi return to his body.
With the previous experience of helping Song Ruoning return to his own body, Yun Yi was more familiar with it this time.
And after this period of training, Yun Yi's blue bar has increased exponentially, and he will definitely not faint directly after finishing something like last time.
Just like last time, Yun Yi performed it alone on the second floor.
Shu Nan and Song Ruoning were waiting on the first floor.
Shu Nan was spinning around in circles anxiously, but Song Ruoning was quite relaxed, sitting on the sofa drinking tea and eating snacks.
"Mr. Shu, how much do you know about the place we just went to?" Song Ruoning asked after eating and drinking.
"I've only heard that the place was built by a great person, so that the spirits enshrined there can enjoy the worship of future generations. As for the rest, I don't know."
That place has existed longer than Shu Nan has been alive, and all he knows about it is just hearsay.
Song Ruoning smiled and shook his head. "Whether he is enjoying the worship of future generations or is being imprisoned, I really can't tell."
Perhaps when it was first built, the purpose of building that place was just to enjoy the worship of future generations.
After death, you can occasionally see your family again, and those who are still alive can go there and talk to their deceased family members. This is a very beautiful thing.
But gradually, the souls of the deceased are unable to leave that room for years. What is the difference between that and being in prison?
Why did the master who built that place set up such a ban that prevents people from leaving?
Suddenly, Song Ruoning thought of how Shu Xi had just left the room.
Perhaps at the beginning, the soul inside can come out, just like Shuxi.
Under the effect of the talisman, relatives lead the people out for a walk.
But later, the metaphysical teachings gradually faded, the older generation passed away, and the younger generation only knew that it was a place to commemorate their ancestors, but did not know how to lead their souls out.
In this way, that house became a prison cell for the souls there.
I have to say, Song Ruoning's truth is revealed.
With the popularization of science, the belief in ghosts and gods is no longer accepted by people, and those souls are just forgotten there.
Ancestor worship has become a ritual and a process, and there is no longer any emotional communication.

"what……"
I don't know how long it was before a scream was heard from upstairs.
Shu Nan and Song Ruoning hurried upstairs and saw a half-transparent figure lying on the window and trying to run out, but there seemed to be a force behind her pulling her, preventing her from escaping.
Is this Song Wanwan?
When Song Wanwan left last time, Song Ruoning had not woken up yet. When they met again, Song Wanwan was pressing against Shu Xi's body, so she didn't see Song Wanwan's true appearance.
I walked over to take a closer look. You wouldn't have known it until I saw it, but it seems they do look quite alike.
"Xixi? How's Xixi?"
"She will wake up soon, but her condition is serious, and after this incident, her body will probably become even weaker. Let's find a doctor to take a good look at her." Yun Yi said.
"Thank you, Mr. Yun. Xixi's health..."
Shu Nan stopped talking before he finished speaking.
He and Shuxi are twin siblings, but Shuxi has been weak since childhood. She has consulted many doctors for treatment, but none of them were effective.
Later, his grandfather showed him many books and letters left by his great-grandfather, and told him that it might be the oath his great-grandfather had made that came true on the younger generation Shuxi.
After that, Shu Nan studied the books and notes left by his great-grandfather and learned some Taoist methods, but he was powerless as to how to break the oath.
According to the calculation method left by my great-grandfather, Shuxi will not live past the age of 25.
There are still three years left, and Shu Nan doesn't know whether he can find a way to save Shu Xi in the next three years.
"Mr. Yun, you are so powerful. Is there any way to break the oath? As long as Xixi can survive, you can fulfill the oath on me." Shu Nan looked at Yun Yi and asked seriously.
"What oath?" Yun Yi asked with a raised brow.
Shu Nan recounted the whole story of his great-grandfather's oath.
In a nutshell, when my great-grandfather joined the army, he swore that as long as he could win the battle, he would never have any descendants.
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Ruoning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Pfft..." Song Ruoning quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend Old Master Shu. I just didn't expect the old man to have such a childish side."
"My great-grandfather was just fifteen years old that year," Shu Nan explained. "You all know the situation back then. On a battlefield, life is uncertain. You're willing to sacrifice yourself for victory, so how could you possibly care about what happens in the future?"
This incident was written by my great-grandfather in a notebook.
And next to this oath, there was a pattern that he couldn't understand. It must be an oath made in a special way.
"From the time Old Master Shu swore the oath to the time Shuxi was born, there has been more than a hundred years in between. I have never heard of an oath being fulfilled after a hundred years." Yun Yi said with a smile.
"Besides, with my ability, I don't see any signs of Shuxi being bound by any oath."
Shu Nan blinked and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Xixi's illness isn't due to the oath Great Grandfather made back then?"
"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. If you want to fulfill Old Master Shu's oath, you must fulfill it completely. How can you let your Shu family inherit it for a hundred years before fulfilling the oath?"
"Is it to prepare you mentally so you can die more easily and calmly?"
