Chapter 486: Master Tuqiang (3)
After the liquid that made people look like they wanted to vomit flowed from under Ning Meng's feet, Ning Meng realized that something was about to happen. She subconsciously looked for the person she knew, the girl she had just seen in the hospital room.
But she couldn't find it.
Could it be that she was swept away by the liquid?
The chaotic black souls seemed to be used to all this, but the transparent souls seemed a little panicked.
A pitch-black soul slowly approached Ning Meng and said, "Is it convenient for you to listen to me?"
Ning Meng walked to the corner with him, and after taking a closer look, he found that this person was obviously old, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was facing kindness, presumably he should have been a kind old man before he died.
Ning Meng got straight to the point and said, "What are these liquids?"
The old man said, "When we were born as human beings, we had gastric juice when we ate everything, and we are the food of that person in this body." He uses this stuff to digest us. ”
Ning Meng was a little puzzled and said, "The soul can also digest it?"
The old man nodded and said, "Maybe the word is wrong, but he uses such a liquid to make our souls his real nourishment." You just saw the people who were washed away by the liquid, they never came back, their souls have become part of that person's body. ”
Ning Meng said: "Every time these liquids come over......, will everyone run away?
The old man completed Ning Meng's later words and said, "Do you want to ask me how long I've been here and why I'm still here?"
Ning Meng nodded thoroughly.
The old man said, "I don't remember how long I've been here, I only remember that when I entered this soul, men still had long hair, and it was still an era of heavy literature and light martial arts. I've always been there, so my color has changed from translucent to cloudy. It's not because I'm so quick to get past the liquid, it's because the liquid goes around me every time it gets to my feet, so I'm alive now. ”
Ning Meng thought that there must be something different about the old man, but she didn't ask about it for the time being, but said, "How often does this liquid come?"
The old man said, "This time is not fixed. It depends on how much that person needs us. I remember some time ago, a lot of souls ran out, he was weak and absorbed a lot of souls. At that time, the amount of liquid was also large, and the interval between each visit was also short. But for a while, he wouldn't be able to think of releasing the liquid and absorbing the soul for days. ”
According to the time point that the old man said, Ning Meng probably remembered that the so-called day when many souls ran out was the day when she pierced that person's chest with a sword.
Ning Meng said: "At that time, many souls ran out, why didn't some of them run? Is it because they can't run away?"
The old man said, "There are some who can't run, and there are others who never want to run." ”
Ning Meng was puzzled: "Don't want to run?"
The old man didn't answer Ning Meng's question right away, but stared at her and said, "When you first came in, I felt that you were different from the other souls here, and you asked this question to confirm my guess even more. You caused the hole that was pierced through that person last time. ”
Ning Meng nodded.
The old man said, "So you came in on purpose this time to save the people here?"
Ning Meng affirmed again.
The old man sighed and said, "After I said the following, if you still want to save this group of people, then I won't stop you." I'm not afraid to tell you that only a few of those souls who don't run out can't get out, and most don't want to get out. ”
Ning Meng really didn't understand, and asked, "Don't want to go out?"
The old man's eyes suddenly became resolute, as if his soul had been hardened because of this, and said, "Yes, I don't want to go out." I'm the one who doesn't want to go out. You should have noticed that the souls that went out had turned black, or at least cloudy, with very little transparent color, right?"
Ning Meng recalled that the souls she saw at that time were indeed that kind of turbid black, but occasionally mixed with a few souls with translucent textures. She said, "Is there anything special about that other than how long the souls have been in that person's body?"
The old man said, "You're right, these souls have been in that person's body for too long, so they are polluted. The darker the color of the soul, the more polluted it is. These souls who ran out had a great resentment in their hearts because they had been imprisoned in that person's body for a long time. If they go out one day, they will surely become the culprits of destroying this world. They are the kind of evil spirits that we often talk about when we are in this world. ”
Ning Meng said: "So after those people went out, because of resentment, they started unscrupulous revenge?"
The old man nodded.
Ning Meng said: "So you didn't choose to go out at that time? is it because you don't want to be the one who destroys the world?"
The old man said: "I have been trapped in that person's body for a long time, so I dare not say that I have no grudges against this world. But I still love the world, and I don't want to make it miserable because of me. I'd rather be stuck here myself. The same goes for souls who don't choose to go out, and they don't want to hurt more people because of their own reasons. ”
Ning Meng followed the old man's gaze, there were many souls there, all of them were as dark and muddy as the old man, but those people were still the same as the old man, with kind and soft expressions on their faces.
The old man said, "I thank you for coming in and saving us." But I advise you, don't deliver us out. If you really have that ability, you can destroy that person with us and make us disappear from this world completely. This is the best comfort for us. ”
Ning Meng said: "If that's the case, what should you do, can you still go to another world?"
The old man said, "We were already souls when we entered that person's body, and we were captured by him on our way to another world. Filthy souls like us are no longer qualified to enter another world. You destroy us, and we disappear from this world forever, as if we never came. ”
Ning Meng thought of the black god, the black god is like this, nothing is left, except for the little memories in her mind, there is no mark of the black god anywhere.
Ning Meng said: "Completely disappearing, that is the most serious punishment for a person." You have done nothing wrong and do not deserve such punishment. ”
The old man wanted to say something, but Ning Meng was desperately rude, interrupted him and said, "Old man, I must save you out, and I will never let you become an accomplice in the destruction of this world." Since you say that your soul is filthy now, I will purify your soul. ”
The old man's eyes suddenly flashed a little light and said, "Do you have a way?"
In fact, Ning Meng wasn't sure if she had such a skill, but she always felt that if she didn't give it a try, she would definitely regret it, so for the sake of an old man's reassurance, she nodded desperately and said, "Yes, I have a way, I can give it a try." But before you do that, you have to tell me why when you encounter these liquids, they go around you. ”
The old man hurriedly said, "I don't know why, it's been like this since I entered that person's body. ”
Ning Meng thought for a while and said, "Did you have any special functions when you were alive?" For example, if you can see farther than others, if you can hear more clearly than others, or if you are physically fit or something?"
The old man recalled for a moment and said, "No." I was born as an ordinary child. I've never done anything that no one else could do. ”
Ning Meng said, "Then how many years have you lived?"
The old man said, "Fifty-two years." ”
Ning Meng thought about it, even in ancient times, fifty-two years old was not a long life. The old man has no special functions and does not live long, which means that these two things are not the cause of the detour of those liquids. But yes, the black god is also an unusual person, and he is also a long-lived person, didn't he also disappear in that person's body? Even Ning Meng himself was not afraid of that liquid?
Ning Meng asked again: "What did you do when you were alive?"
The old man said, "I am a squire." When he was alive, he mainly took care of the family's fields and property. When I was young, I wanted to read, but I didn't understand it and couldn't do my homework well, so I especially liked young people who could read. There are many young people in our township, who are very good at studying, but they don't have the money to go to Beijing to catch the exam. If I have anything to do, it is to fund the construction of a school in the township, which will help people with special family difficulties, encourage them to go to Beijing to take the exam, and become the pillars of the country. ”
Ning Meng suddenly felt that there was a way out of this matter, and said, "How many students have you sponsored in your life?"
The old man smiled and said, "Although our township is not big, the people around us have heard about this school and have come to study. I don't have the financial resources to fund it all. However, I joined forces with the nearby villagers, and everyone will donate blood and materials to the school. There are no less than hundreds of high school children in each school, and there are countless who have been funded. ”
Ning Meng thought, this old man not only funded others, but also launched a foundation. This has promoted the improvement of their local culture, and it is a great merit. If that person represents absolute darkness and selfishness, isn't that the opposite true?
Ning Meng suddenly thought of an idea and said, "I understand, I'll purify everyone now." ”
