Chapter 375: Extending Life
"It's over, today's dinner is going to be postponed again...... Why don't I go home and eat the food cooked by Li Yao, it's just that since I rarely eat at home, I don't have monster meat to eat at home......" Yan'er sighed in her heart, and took out the food it had stored there from the hidden corner under the sofa, and ate it with relish.
"Last night, one of the girls in our school's dormitory died...... It's strange to die......" Zhang Liying bit her lip and thought for a while before she said, "I had some disputes with her just before she died, and I had a very strange dream last night, I dreamed of her, and I also dreamed of my father's ......"
She sorted out her thoughts and told as much detail as possible about the dispute with Yutong last night, the strange dream, and the expression on the strange corpse she saw this morning, which was exactly the same as the expression she had seen in her last moment in her dream......
"Do you think her death has anything to do with my dreams or her quarrels?" asked Zhang Liying seriously. If Yutong's death is really related to herself, she will never forgive herself, even if Yutong hates it, but she doesn't deserve to die because she hates it......
Ji Ao kept blinking and listening carefully to Zhang Liying's words, he also felt that Yutong was not a normal death, of course it was impossible to quarrel with Zhang Liying, if Zhang Liying really had that kind of ability, the people she hated would have died long ago, and she still used her to talk bad things about others at home from time to time?
But Zhang Liying is a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, in fact, her heart is very soft, if she is not given a reasonable explanation, she will think that Yutong's death is related to herself, and then she will always be uneasy, and then she will be angry with her family members because of a bad mood, and then, the first thing to bear the brunt of is ......
Ji Ao felt palpitations every time he thought of the violence Zhang Liying had used against him, and he tried hard to meditate and think about it:
"No, we must find out the reason for the incident! Listening to the girl's description, Yutong seems to have been sucked away by the monster and died of too much anger. What kind of monster is so vicious?
Ordinary monsters will be very smart to choose the right way to suck people's essence, if a person is only sucked a little, at most it will be top-heavy for a few days, and it will not endanger life, and in this way, it will not kill itself, besides, there are tens of billions of people in the world, every person who sucks a mouthful of it, will soon be able to cultivate to become an immortal, is it necessary to kill people for this?
Could it be that there is a monster who has a grudge against Yutong and takes revenge on her in this way? Or is it ......?"
Just as Ji Ao was pondering, Heidou stood up: "I know ......"
As soon as Black Bean's words fell, the three pairs of expectant eyes immediately fell on him.
Black Bean used to be a high-ranking ghost general who had been in the underworld for thousands of years, and what else had he not seen or experienced was there? His rich experience was a world of difference compared to the little ghost Cha Ji Ao who served as a low-level civilian.
"Say it, say it!" Zhang Liying's excited eyes began to spark, she hugged the black bean, held him in her arms, and urged him to go down.
What Heidou is most afraid of is that Zhang Liying was excited, so she picked it up and hugged her in her arms, although he was a dog, but after all, there was a difference between men and women.
Zhang Liying also wanted to train Black Bean to use the computer, let him help him check information on the Internet, but unfortunately the computer keyboard fully reflects the selfishness of human beings, and it is not suitable for animals at all, Black Bean used the computer keyboard to type a sentence of less than ten words, and even ten minutes could not type a word correctly, so Zhang Liying had to give up the glorious plan of training the world's first dog who can go online.
Black Bean broke free from Zhang Liying's arms, jumped on the sofa and sat down, Yan'er also approached curiously, Black Bean believed that his guess could stand up to scrutiny, and he said unhurriedly:
"First of all, this is definitely not a normal death, nor is it a monster sucking people's anger, but a man-made event; secondly, Yutong's death has nothing to do with the dispute between the master and you, but it has a lot to do with the strange dream of the master.
Nine hundred years ago, when I was still a general in the prefecture, I encountered such a case:
At that time, there was a man who died for no reason, and when he was sleeping, he went to the Yin Cao to report in a daze, such a thing is not uncommon in the Yin Si, because of natural disasters, seven diseases and eight disasters, it is common for some people to die before their yang life is exhausted.
Generally, when the underworld encounters this kind of case, it will be based on the good and evil before his death, if he did a lot of good things during his lifetime, he will definitely let him be reincarnated into a good family, and then make up for the part of his unfinished life, this kind of person will definitely spend the next life rich and long, and generally after listening to such a verdict, he himself has no opinion.
This matter was solved in this way, but he didn't think that an old cat raised by his family that had become a sperm also rushed into the underworld to make a fuss, saying that the owner had raised it for twenty-eight years, and because the great favor was not repaid, it did not enter the mountain to practice, and now the owner has died unjustly, even if it risked his life, it has to defend right and wrong, and avenge the master.
Its owner also intervened, but the cat still made a desperate fuss and was eventually expelled by the army of Hades. Generally treats this kind of monsters who dare to come to the underworld to make trouble, and the Yin Si will beat them out with sticks. Don't look at what place it is, the Monkey King is just that, how can you allow cats and dogs to come here to spread wild!
If the circumstances are serious, he will even be killed on the spot, and then his soul will be captured and judged by Yin Si, who has no right to dispose of living beings. So even if that cat spirit is reasonable and doesn't understand the rules, it still won't end well, but fortunately, it happened to meet me who came back from official business.
Of course I wouldn't do anything about it, but the cat spirit went and pounced on my team, so I asked why. Although I am a military general, I am still very patient, so I listened carefully to the complaint of the cat spirit, and the heart of the protector is very much to the heart of my loyal minister, I did not subdue it because I pity it, and explain the rules of Yin Si to it, and persuade it with good words, let it go back to practice diligently, and wait until the master is reincarnated to repay the favor.
But the cat spirit cried and made a fuss without appreciation, and insisted that its owner had been murdered, so I patiently listened to what it said. It turned out that on the night of the death of its master, it had felt that an evil spirit had entered the house, so it chased after it, and when it chased out of the two streets, everything was calm again, and it rushed home to see that its master's soul had left the body and died.
It also deliberately used the illusion to show me the tragic situation after the death of his master: 'Look, is this a normal death? Anyway, I don't believe that my master died a normal death! General, you have to be the master of my master!'
I was also stunned when I saw this vision: this is obviously the appearance of being sucked and angry and dying, why is there no demonic energy in that person's soul? If you are killed by a monster, it is normal for you not to remember, but how can there be no demonic energy on your body?
So I ordered them to look at the soul with a mirror of karma and check his last experience before he walked on the road to the Yellow Springs, and the result was the same as the spirit said: I saw him go to bed, sleep, and then a wisp of his soul floated up and came to the underworld.
What the hell is going on? I became suspicious of this man's death and decided to investigate it carefully. Under closer scrutiny, my suspicions became more and more serious. After checking the life and death books of that soul's hometown, I found that it was only a few years, and there were more than 40 people in that area who died with the same cause as that soul.
In the past few years, there have been no wars, no natural disasters such as water, fire, earthquakes, and no plagues. Could it be that some youkai is specifically sucking people's anger in that area and harming people's lives? How can he manage to keep it from leaving a demonic spirit?
Once I made up my mind, I had to get things to light, so I got the cat spirit to lead the way and went to the sun to investigate in person. Led by a familiar cat spirit, I led a group of men to almost turn the place hundreds of miles around, but I didn't find any clues.
There were a few youkai there, but they were all as peaceful as the cat spirit. At most, they only steal chickens and dogs, and use clods of earth to buy wine and drink, and so on. But as soon as they saw me in military uniform, they were so frightened that they couldn't stand steadily, and when they heard that there were monsters killing people in this place, their first reaction was: Run away, what if you kill me...... I can't imagine what they would scare themselves when they killed.
I ran around investigating but still didn't get anything, so I went back to Yinsi. When I was bored and looked through the book of life and death over and over again, I accidentally made a major discovery. While there are many people who have died before their longevity has reached the end of their lives in recent years, there are also many people in this area who have extended their life expectancy in recent years.
In general, one of the following three conditions is required to extend life: strong, horizontal, and lucky. Needless to say, the ability is big, the status is high, and the gods and Buddhas all belong to the condition of being strong, and prolonging life and shortening life also require coincidence, such as a great good person who has done a lot of good things, and without his own knowledge, he is known by a certain immortal, maybe the immortal is happy, as a reward to extend his life, of course, simple good deeds can not extend life, but will add more "weight" to your next life, such as reincarnation into a good family and the like.
I'll give you a real example: there was a little girl who was destined to die at the age of twelve, but when she was almost twelve years old, she met a spirit beast of the Emperor Qingshui Dragon who was playing in the human world, and its mental age was about ten years old. It played happily with the girl for a few days, so it was sympathetic to the fate of this child who was not afraid of his own doomed early death.
Of course, with his identity as a spirit beast, he can help the little girl change her life, but he is worried that others will say that he is a bully, he has followed the Emperor of Heaven for many years, and with his upbringing, of course, he will not be like Monkey King, who lost his identity and directly rushed into the underworld to tear up the book of life and death. So it thought about it, and then removed seven scales from itself, embedded them in the girl's forehead, limbs, heart, and back, and patted her ass and walked away.
On the day when the girl was at the end of her life, when the ghost sent to seduce the girl's soul, before she got close to her, she was almost beaten by the amount of the spirit beast, and tossed up and down for a few days for this time, before she roughly understood the reason, she had to accept the hint of the spirit beast, and she didn't dare to care about this girl anymore, and this girl also escaped reincarnation.
Speaking of "horizontal", almost all youkai fall into this category. Youkai are cultivated by animals, plants, etc., and from the point of view, it should be a kind of mutation. Of course, animals and plants also have a fixed lifespan, and on that day, the ghost almost went there on time to see that the target had become a monster, in human form, with a machete in his hand, a formation drawn at his feet, and a magic weapon flying behind him, fully armed, waiting there to welcome the visitors from the underworld......
