Prologue The First Arrival Chapter 26 The Taoist
Chai Xu stared at the small fluorescent beads, and the doubts in his heart not only did not solve, but gave birth to more doubts.
"Don't worry, children, these things, not as mysterious as you think, of course, just like when human beings first learned about the magic and greatness of nature, these things, if they are put in front of human beings, will still set off countless ... Well... In my opinion, it's all the fuss, and now, let me tell you, these things are you human beings, the so-called souls, and for us, this thing is some kind of energy body. β
... Wait, soul?
Chai Xu seemed to realize something and immediately said, "What do you mean... These are the souls of human beings after death?"
β... Superficial, who told you that only human beings have souls, everything in this world, every flower and grass, every mountain and water, all have spirituality, and if there is a spirit, there is a soul, and this soul, for you humans, may be a mysterious thing, but for us... Oh, it's just some kind of troublesome gadget, you can't crush it against the original intention of the saint, and you can't let it be scattered in the world, that's why there are people like me, and these heavens and earths to accommodate these souls, alas, I don't know who you are, how can he be so polite to you, in my opinion, you are just an ordinary mortal from head to toe, I can't guess, I can't guess it. β
β.... Can... But they... It's all human. β
Chai Xu directly ignored this man's ridicule of himself, isn't this nonsense, if he wasn't an ordinary human being, wouldn't it be weird.
"Little guy, do you know that the human skin is the best carrier to contain the soul, and the human race can fit with all the souls, so ah, I don't know when the rules were set, maybe it didn't take long for the human beings to have them, and all the souls stored in my world are not the souls of humans, but the natural souls of the mountains and rivers, so you see that they have no consciousness of their own at all, and will only follow the route I set, forever aimlessly moving in one directionγ β
More questions popped up in Chai Xu's mind...
"That's... That... You and Chang Ziming, aren't you human?"
"Well, this question is not included in the answers to the questions that the adults have instructed, so I don't want to answer you. β
Seeing that this middle-aged man intended to sell Guanzi, Chai Xu couldn't say anything, but at the moment, he had other things that he had to figure out.
β... That... Why do I come across these things... It seems that those who come into contact with me are human souls, they have minds, they have consciousness, and they have what they want to do..."
Chai Xu remembered what Fluttershy said that to find his father, this could never be the way of thinking that a flower and plant would have, of course, Chai Xu was not sure if the flowers and plants that could be seen everywhere would think like humans, if it was before, he would definitely sneer at those who had this kind of thinking... But now...
Looking at everything in this world, looking at the people walking around like machinery below, and the tall man beside him, he began to be uncertain.
Wouldn't I... It's a dream...
"You're not dreaming, little ghost, okay, I know what you're going to ask next, and I won't waste time, I will answer you together, you want to ask, human beings, will there be an afterlife, I can tell you, reincarnation exists, but not everyone will have an afterlife, this needs to go through some kind of screening, who will screen..."
The man hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
β... I can't tell you that, but I promise you, when you die, I'll tell you. β
Chai Xu scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, this man's hand was still pinching his shoulder, if he was unhappy, he let go, maybe he would become the first human soul in his world.
Chai Xu didn't bother with why a man knew he wanted to ask this question, he felt that after knowing these things, a human being's first reaction would be to wonder if people would have an afterlife...
But now, Chai Xu has another problem.
β... In other words, all the souls in this world are kept by you, or people like you, in different little worlds... But... What I want to ask is, if these souls were allowed to remain in the world, would... What happened?"
The man's face was a little difficult, and he was just about to answer, when suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone down above his head, and at the same time, a voice full of Tiangang's righteousness was suppressed from his head.
"Little thing, don't show up quickly for this seat. β
As this sound like a bell sounded, the face of the man next to him changed drastically, and he screamed.
"Oh no!!Help!!!!
But the golden light had already shone above the man's head, enveloping him in it, and he looked very pained, and raised his head and cried for mercy.
"The great immortal spares his life! The little one has not done anything that hurts the heavens and is against humanity!!"
The voice above his head couldn't help but speak, and said coldly with a touch of disdain.
"I also said that I didn't do anything, you actually have the breath of human beings in this world, and you cross the line to seduce the soul, Chang Ziming doesn't care, Lao Tzu takes care of it. β
Chai Xu saw that the man's face was distorted and extremely painful, but he didn't know what he could do at this time, although this golden light also covered him, but it didn't have any effect on him, but it made him feel like a spring breeze, warm... The anxiety and fear in my heart just now disappeared in this golden light.
"Who says I don't care?"
Another voice sounded from below, and at the same time, a force swept over with a strong wind, and the wind directly pushed the golden light back upwards as if it were a physical entity.
The voice above his head seemed to reveal a hint of doubt, and he let out a "huh", but immediately turned into a hearty laugh.
"Hahahaha, okay! show up!"
The wind swirled again, swept towards Chai Xu, and blew Chai Xu's whole person into the sky quickly.
"Ahhh
Chai Xu was constantly rising in the wind, and he screamed in fright, and at this moment, he once again wondered if this was a terrible nightmare.
But the next moment, his vision suddenly blurred, and the next moment, it suddenly became clear, and his body suddenly sat on the floor, and he reacted... I've actually returned to the pawn shop.
And in front of him, this not big pawn shop actually has an extra person that Chai Xu doesn't know at all.
Wearing a Taoist robe, a handsome face, and fairy wind bones, this was Chai Xu's first impression after seeing the Taoist, but this series of impressions was all shattered after the Taoist spoke.
"Hey, I still think you were hooked by that old monster and hidden in his square inch, it turned out to be a big living person, the little fart child died in the middle of the night?
Such uncivilized words made Chai Xu's first impression of this Taoist instantly deteriorate, but immediately there were words behind him that were immediately unbearable.
"I'm sorry, you old liar, I don't know how to brush my teeth before I speak, and I don't know which one doesn't come out in the middle of the night to look for death, and the little fart child who can't spit out ivory in the dog's mouth dares to spread wild on Lao Tzu's territory, I'm afraid that you, an old liar, are anxious to find some game in the middle of the night, but somehow touched Lao Tzu's territory, I can tell you, I'm a regular store here, and my little Lingxue doesn't provide that kind of service. β
Looking back at Chang Ziming, his face was already flat and indifferent at the moment, but the words that came out of his mouth were really unbearable, which was completely incommensurate with his soft face.
On the other hand, the Taoist was scolded by Chang Ziming like this, but he was not annoyed, but laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha, my ancestor tablet is worthy of the old Wang Ba who has lived for so long, scolding the street Lao Tzu is not your opponent, okay, Chang Ziming, this seat came overnight today, do you know the reason?... Wait, who the hell is this guy?"
The Taoist suddenly looked at Chai Xu again, his eyes revealed a trace of strangeness, and then he began to look at Chai Xu carefully.
"This is my guest, it's your, let it go if you have a fart. β
But the Taoist seemed to be interested in Chai Xu, and he began to walk around Chai Xu, and then said with a smile.
β... Yo... This is strange, obviously an ordinary mortal, this body has a lot of bad luck, with this level of anger, you can still live, this person is interesting, Chang Ziming, what do you want to do to him?"
Chang Ziming took two puffs of the cigarette stick and knocked it on the counter a few times, and then Chai Xu saw that the smoke dust shaking off the head of the cigarette stick was actually a golden powder, and it was not pungent at all, just like the strange fragrance he smelled before.
"This person is one of my guests, it has nothing to do with you, little brat, you came to me for the construction of C City, what's the matter, you were also bought by the Lu family and started this dog's leg business?"
As soon as the Taoist shook off the dust, the chair in front of the counter immediately moved behind him, he sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at Chang Ziming with a very arrogant look.
"Lu family, even if he Lu Tong digs up the ancestral grave, and digs out his ancestor Lu Ming, or even that Lu Yang for me, I don't bother to look at him, and the big family is showing off his martial arts all day long, and I really think that I have some doorways to be the so-called magic family? β
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Chai Xu again, and this time the impatience in his eyes became more and more obvious.
"Eh, I said who is this person, with a poor and sour face, a declining god, a poor god, and a lost spirit possessed at the same time, I said that you Chang Ziming will not raise Gu on this child, right?"
Chai Xu really felt that he was a little redundant, and now he was standing between the Taoist and Chang Ziming, and this Taoist seemed to look at him very unpleasantly, but now he was just shocked by those fantastical things, and he didn't dare to offend these people at all.
So he said to the Taoist with some embarrassment.
β... This, this comrade... Eh, my name is Chai Xu, I am a police officer from the Dongcheng Police Station, hello, I, I am here now just to ask Boss Chang about the situation. β
Chang Ziming was a little impatient, he knocked on the table with his pipe again, and said in a deep voice.
"If you have something to say, hurry up and carry my Lingxue back, you beat me like that, are you still a person. β
"Hey, now that I know I'm distressed, isn't it you who let that kid stop me?"
"How do I know that you, the old Wang Ba with a human face and a beast heart, really have a hand on such a cute girl, hey, my heart hurts when I see it. β
Although Chang Ziming said this, there was no distressed look on his face at all, but this Chai Xu was a little unable to stand, and he immediately said to the two.
"That lesbian is hurt?!You, you actually beat someone!?"
He immediately began to subconsciously touch his documents, but after touching for a long time, he found that he came out in a hurry, and he didn't even bring his wallet, let alone his documents.
β... I, I'm a policeman, if you really hurt someone, I have to let you go back to the police station with me!"
The Taoist didn't even look at Chai Xu, but just said something to Chang Ziming lightly.
"I'm here, that is, I want to be a peacemaker, you and the Lu family don't have any deep hatred, now the Lu family has strong capital, you don't care what kind of subdiscriminate he used to be, other people's descendants are diligent, this accumulated family business is also such a thing, now he wants to change his own lifeline, why do you stop it?"
Chang Ziming's eyes trembled slightly, he seemed to understand something, smiled coldly, and suddenly, his eyes turned to Chai Xu, unexpectedly, he said to Chai Xu in a very gentle voice.
"Officer Chai, do me a favor and help me move my sister back, okay?"
