Chapter 190: The Gambler
Qingpi was also frightened lying in the grass nest, what had just happened made him confused, obviously an old woman was standing there, so close to the foot why didn't he kick it?
Just as his mind was full of melon seeds, a black mist floated in. The black mist covered the temple, and it was all black, and then the voices of two people came in, and only one of them said: "It's strange, why is it tasteless? Why is it gone?" The other replied: "If you can't take her away this time, it will be even more difficult to get it in the future." At that time, my brothers will probably not be able to control its power. The other one replied: "The point is that if we can't bring it back, how can we explain it to the king? ”
Two people came in from outside, and Qingpi lay there trembling in his heart, squinting his eyes at the two men. was so frightened that she almost fainted, and it turned out to be the black and white impermanence in the underworld. Bai Wuchang was smiling and wearing a long hat with the words "You are also here";
The two of them chatted and looked around the house for a while, only to hear Bai Wuchang say: "This temple is so desolate, you can't hide that thing, don't delay too much, hurry up and chase it." Missing the hour is also a problem. Hei Wuchang shook the chain shackles in his hand, and he was also a little anxious, and said in his mouth: "It's obviously here, how can it be gone?" Frightened, Qingpi dared to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.
Hei Wuchang looked down at Qingpi and said, "Dude, hey, there's a big fool here, sleep here!" Bai Wuchang came over and took a look, pulled out a book from his waist, flipped it over and said: "Well, this kid's name is Qingpi, and he is not yet a year old. But it's also your goods in the future!"
As for the legend of the underworld, Qingpi has also heard the old people say, why is there a black and white distinction between impermanence? I think there are several reasons: First of all, many gods in religion have human nature, and to catch evil ghosts, you can't have only one job all day long, you have to take shifts, otherwise, a god will not be able to stand this job for a long time. Therefore, one is during the day and one is at night; second, from the perspective of black and white yin and yang, it is in line with the Taoist theory of yin and yang; third, from the analysis of many folklore stories, white impermanence is mostly to punish those who are "not worthy enough", and black impermanence is to catch evil ghosts.
Regarding black and white impermanence, I just heard the old people say that the legendary white impermanence is named Xie Bi'an, and the black impermanence is called Fan Wusheng, also known as the "Seventh Master" and "Eighth Master". It is said that Xie Fan and his wife have been married since childhood, and they are like brothers and sisters. One day, the two walked together to the Nantai Bridge, it was going to rain, the seventh master asked the eighth master to wait for a while, go home to get an umbrella, unexpectedly after the seventh master left, the thunderstorm poured, the river soared, the eighth master did not want to miss the appointment, but because of his short stature, he was drowned in the water, and soon the seventh master took the umbrella and rushed to come, the eighth master has disappeared, the seventh master is in pain, hanging on the bridge pillar (so many white impermanence images are stretched out with a long red tongue).
Lord Yama was so faithful that he ordered them to arrest the lawbreakers in front of the city god. Some people say that Xie Bi'an means that if you thank the gods, you will be safe, and Fan is not saved, that is, those who break the law will not be saved, of course, this is all folklore.
After chatting with black and white impermanence, he left the temple and looked elsewhere for the target he was looking for.
At this time, Qingpi was sweating profusely, and his legs were weak and he couldn't move anymore. My mother, this is not going to scare me to death? Really bumped into a ghost, the kick in the well just now is not a person? Is it a ghost to be caught by black and white impermanence? Fortunately, I kicked her into the well, otherwise, before I could snatch its earrings, she would have killed her! Thinking about it, I didn't feel a cold sweat again.
At this time, the sky returned to the state of the moon and stars just now, and the sky became extremely clean, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. Occasionally, one or two insects and ants sizzle and then return to normal.
Qingpi is not a heartless fool, he can't sleep anymore, he was shocked just now with two stinky sweats, this will fall, but his whole body is cold. A chill came in, and I couldn't help but shiver.
He had just stepped down a little, when he suddenly heard the strange voice behind him: "Thank you young man for help, if it weren't for you, I would have let them take me away, thanks to you for getting me into the well." Otherwise, I would never have escaped from their hands. ”
Hearing this voice, Qingpi's newly fallen heart rose again. He nervously turned his face again to see that the old woman who had been standing in the courtyard just now was standing behind him again. Qingpi sat up in a daze, got up with a bone-hued body, stood two or three meters away from the old woman, and looked at the old woman with a wary face: "You, you, you are really a ghost, I saved you, don't hurt me!"
Although Qingpi was nervous, his mind was clear. He clearly heard what the old woman thanked him just now, and although he was trying to kill himself for money, how could this show the slightest trace?
Sure enough, the old woman said again: "Yes, I am a ghost, and I am a ghost with a certain amount of cultivation." Ghosts don't kill innocents indiscriminately, and I also studied private school before I was alive, and I can be regarded as a literate and hyphenated person. I can understand "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the East" and "Xue Dingshan's Expedition to the West" at the age of nine, and I also understand drama and literature, and I know that I know how to repay you, how can it harm you?"
Oh, Qingpi was also forced at that time. I was hoping to kick her earrings over, and even if I didn't kill her, I got her into a well. How could it be that he saved her? Oh, could it be that this well hid her, so she was not found by black and white impermanence?
In fact, it was such a coincidence, this ghost woman was not very good at cultivation at that time, and she could still be caught in the Netherworld. It's to catch her tonight, and that knows the right trick and is driven into the well by Qingpi. This well itself is also a yin thing, and this ghost woman is hiding in the well, and she is invisibly close to the underworld. Yang Shi could no longer find her shadow at all.
So Black and White Impermanence didn't know where she went, so he searched for a trick and had to go to Yama to get the punishment. This ghost woman has escaped this catastrophe, and she is very grateful to Qingpi, as long as she escapes this catastrophe, her cultivation will be even higher, and it will be difficult for the underworld to restrain her in the future.
She was extremely excited for a while, and said, "Young man, you say, you saved me, let me report you as much as I want!"
Qingpi looked at it, he originally wanted to make money and kill his life, but he didn't succeed and became a hero to save the United States. God help me! That being said, he thought about it for a while, and couldn't think of anything to ask for for a while. So he said, "When I have trouble in the future, will you be there when you are on call?"
"Hehe, of course, I'll be able to satisfy you at any time!"
After listening to the ghost woman's words, Qingpi disappeared without paying attention to the blink of an eye. Qingpi couldn't help but feel a thrill at first glance, what the hell are these things! I'm glad that I'm smart and reacts quickly, otherwise the ghost woman will see that she is harming her, and I'm afraid he will have ten lives to confess here.
Just thinking about something arching his legs, he was so frightened that he shivered again, and when he looked down, it turned out to be "Da Zhuang" and relieved himself from the coma. Qingpi raised his leg and kicked it again. Damn, you're not dead?
The day dawned, the sun shone in brightly, this night scared Qingpi enough, so old and so old I have never experienced this. The heart is also plopping, go home, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it.
My father was sitting on the edge of the kang and was smoking a dry cigarette, and when he saw him come in, he asked the first sentence: "Yesterday, you took all the money from our family?" I don't want your money!"
"I, I, I lost all of it, and I didn't have a ....... Qingpi had no choice but to tell the truth.
"What? You say it again? That's the eighty oceans of white flowers!" Daddy Qingpi exploded when he heard this, jumped down from the edge of the kang, and pointed to Qingpi's nose and shouted.
Qingpi drooped his head and said, "If you say it ten times, you won't lose, and I don't want to lose." What can I do?"
"Fuck you! That thing can make you rich? How many times have I told you? Don't touch that, don't move that. You just don't listen. That's good, all the fucking fell in, do you think I saved the eighty oceans? That's the fifty oceans that your grandfather bought with his life that year, and those thirty are the money I sold a few acres ......of our family's land! The more the old man spoke, the more angry he became, and his whole body trembled.
"What are you so poor? It's not over? It's gone! I've been kind enough to tell you, you're still energetic! You can't die, you nag all day long, annoying people to death!" Qingpi got up from the broken stool, pulled away his father's hand that was pointing at him, and walked away.
"Evil Barrier~~~ Evil Barrier~~~. Our family did not accumulate virtue in that life, and it was a ...... retribution to give birth to such a thing. Before the green skin father finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the person immediately fainted.
A week later, the green skin dad rode the crane to the west, woohoo and mourn!
Now no one cares about the green skin, don't worry about playing boldly! Since we can't play with dogs, let's play something else. Soon Qingpi became obsessed with gambling money, and the guy gambled day and night, night after night.
Betting on this thing, relying on luck, there is still no winning general, and there is only half hope of winning. The same is true for Qingpi, which also wins and loses at the beginning, and does not have much income. But their family's reputation as a gambling den, like a bedbug with wings, soon spread all over the country. The gamblers are like flies, and the taste comes.
In several earthen houses, four or five tables were set up every day, making the room smoky and noisy.
