Chapter 3 of the Nine Spirits: Life hangs by a thread

The sparse starlight dotted the sky above the world, probably because there was no moon, and the starlight became even brighter. Eight seas, five continents, four islands, three wildernesses, every place in the world, you can see such a starry sky. They are like the eyes of the masters, looking down on this ridiculous group of creatures, watching their rise and fall, watching their whims, watching their parents' shortcomings.

In a mountain forest in the south of Qizhou, there is a small wooden house, the bark of the birch tree wraps a warm family of three, to be precise, it should be a family of four, because a small life is about to come into this world. With his expectations and dreams for this world, he slept heavily in his mother's belly.

Fang Ze, who was in the sky, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. How many times he has been a member of that warm family, and as long as he jumps himself, this family will add endless joy. But as time goes by, birth, old age, sickness and death, and no one can get rid of the pain of reincarnation. They are just passers-by who live together temporarily, and no one knows whether they will meet at the next starting point in the end.

Fang Ze's soul swirled in the air, drew a perfect parabola, and threw himself into his mother's belly.

At the moment when Fang Ze entered the matrix, the sky suddenly changed color, and several thunderbolts slashed all the way along the trajectory of Fang Ze's parabola.

Fang Ze, who entered his mother's womb, sensed this situation and couldn't help but be frightened.

"Why is this world so unsafe, and does it take thunder to have a child?"

"It's not that it's unsafe to have children, it's that you have the memories of your past life, and you have been sensed by the way of heaven and want to kill you. ”

"Who? Who's talking?"

"I'm Judge Chen, and I've implanted my spiritual power in your soul so I can communicate with you. ”

Hearing Judge Chen's voice, Fang Ze felt a little steady, and asked: "Lord Chen, can you be reliable in doing things, why do you give me the whole world? I am doing things for your underworld, why can't I even guarantee my safety." ”

"Bastard, how can you talk to me? I bought off Meng Po before, and I got you a place to go to the Spiritual Void World. But I didn't expect that the soul singer was a newcomer, and he was a mortal enemy of our Chen family. I'm also a little secret, and I'll have to rely on yourself in the future. ”

"Don't ...... Don't, if you take me back, you can be reincarnated. Fang Ze begged in a panic.

"Do you think this is simple? The Heavenly Dao of the Great Thousand Worlds has changed, and it is different from other realms. All unconventional deaths are dissipated here, and all power is difficult to penetrate. I also managed to get in touch with you by catching some gaps. However, you have to remember your mission, when you cultivate to the nine-star level, you will have the ability to break through the void and go to the spiritual void world. If you don't want to die, you should cultivate hard and complete the task. Don't play any tricks, before you were reincarnated, I implanted the Soul Destroying Charm in the depths of your soul. You'll have seizures every year after the age of three, and each episode will be more violent than the last. Before the age of twenty, if you don't cultivate to the nine-star level, you will be gone. Do your own thing, and don't forget that you only have twenty years. Alright, it's almost time, it's time for me to go. ”

After saying these words, Judge Chen hurriedly interrupted the transmission.

Judge Chen, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but fall into thought, "This fucking, damn it, although it's not just this idle chess move, it's really embarrassing." But the world is also weird, and I haven't had deep contact with the people over there before. I just hope there won't be any accidents, the kid will die, and it's nothing. ”

Thinking of this, Judge Chen summoned his subordinates.

"You go and check the world for me, the more detailed the information, the better. Judge Chen ordered a chubby subordinate.

Interrupting the sound transmission, Fang Ze was still thinking about asking some questions, but Judge Chen's voice had already dissipated.

A loud thunderclap, like a pair of giant palms, tore a hole in the endless night sky, waking up everything in its sleep. This thunderclap landed right on the cozy house, which was wrapped in birch bark, and because the house was made of pure wood, the wood had been very dry for many years. After this lightning strike, the house soon caught fire.

The sleeping mother was woken up by the child's pushing, and when she opened her eyes, there was already a sea of fire around her. Mom woke up Dad hysterically, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, it's on fire, it's on fire." The child's father jumped from the bed to the ground.

This is a man who is not tall and has a strong build. He pulled his wife out of bed, took her in his left hand, held the child in his right hand, and rushed in the direction of the door.

But there was no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and a wall of fire surrounded them.

"Wife, when you go to the water tank, don't stick your head out, stay still. He picked up his wife and put her in the water tank. Looking back at his eldest son, "Child, you are a man, are you afraid?" The child looked at his father with teary eyes and shook his head. "Good boy, you close your eyes".

The child closed his eyes, and the father recognized the direction of the window from memory. Then a quilt soaked in water was wrapped around the child's thin body. I saw him holding the child above his head with both hands, and threw the child out in the direction of the window with both hands.

After arranging his wife and children, the father also wanted to find a place to go out. But the billowing smoke flooded his field of vision, and the smoke flowed down his oropharyngeal cavity into his lungs. After a few dry coughs, the pillar of a warm family collapsed with a "poof".

"A disaster destroyed a happy family like this, and the root of everything was actually himself. ”

Fang Ze thought like this, maybe he should continue to reincarnate in that pig farm-like place to experience different lives. Because of one's own selfishness, or the selfishness of others, many irrelevant people are implicated.

The fire gradually went out, and the white of the fish belly in the east was also dyed with a hint of red. The villagers in the village below the mountain who had risen early to farm gathered around and chattered.

"I heard that yesterday the demon beast attacked his house, and three lives of adults and children were eaten by the demon beast. A big man with a hoe said to another big man.

The big man retorted: "What, it's his wife who cheated, and Lao Liu set himself on fire in a fit of anger." ”

"What you said is not right, they did something wrong, and yesterday they were struck by lightning. A woman interrupted the conversation between the two men.

......

Everyone was talking nonsense, and everyone was guessing according to their own thinking.

In the water tank, Fang Ze in his mother's belly came back to his senses from his cranky thoughts. He found that the mother's heartbeat had stopped, which meant that he was about to be stillborn. "Damn, God, you play with me, you might as well kill me like this. Fang Ze thought so in his heart.

Without the umbilical cord to supply nutrients and oxygen, Fang Ze felt suffocated for a while, he wanted to breathe, but the amniotic fluid completely sealed his mouth and nose. "Damn, this is going to play to death. ”

In the mother's womb, a baby slid desperately towards the exit in front of the sea like a swimming fish. Squeezing, creeping, rubbing, and supporting, Fang Ze didn't know how he came out. As soon as I came out, I felt like I was wrapped in a greasy liquid, and I couldn't even get my eyes out.

He floated to the edge of the tank, and the baby held on to the rim with both hands, gasping for air. The air was mixed with the smell of smoke and barbecue, and even then Fang Ze was greedily inhaling as if he had smoked in his previous life.

It didn't take much to happen, and the local village chief brought people over to understand the situation and clean up the mess.

Although Liu Orion's family is not registered in the village, they are always neighbors. If there is misfortune at home, you can't stand idly by. The village chief sighed as he looked at the scorched earth kissed by the flames. "In any case, people always have to be buried in the ground, so let's let their family be buried," thought the village chief.

The village chief ordered several strong men to carry out the dead body and bury it.

To everyone's surprise, there was only one charred male body lying on the ground in the entire room. All the buildings were charred in the fire, "How is there only one corpse in a family of three?" is the deep question in the heart of every passer-by present.

Under a mess of scorched wood, there is a water tank that is still well preserved. Everyone slowly lifted the cylinder head, and a thick smell of meat wafted out. Several big men who had eaten human flesh couldn't help but salivate from their mouths. Everyone looked at it, and the corpse had been scalded by hot water. The oil separates from the subcutaneous skin and floats on the surface of the water, where it gradually solidifies as the water temperature cools.

Several village names saw this scene and vomited. Some were even frightened to death, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while.

Fang Ze smelled fresh air in the water tank, and the clear current made him regain some consciousness. He could sense the presence of someone else, but his eyes still couldn't open. The baby opened its mouth wide and cried incessantly, just to get everyone's attention.

The village chief is an old farmer, and he has seen some of the world among this group of farmers. He was the first to hear the baby's cry, "Quick, quick, there's a living one, which of you will get him out." The village chief shouted anxiously.

After several orders and urgings, no one dared to step forward. The village chief had no choice but to walk to the water tank by himself, endure the trace of disgust and greed in his heart, and fish the baby out of the water tank.

The village chief walked out of the black, scorched earth with the baby in his arms.

With a bow, the village chief placed the baby with blood on the umbilical cord on the grass.

Several villagers came to the village chief and muttered quietly.

"Village chief, this child is a hoodoo who killed his parents and brother at birth. We can't keep him, or our village will be finished in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, the village chief buried him."

"Village chief, bury it. ”

The village chief glanced back at the baby lying on the grass, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, feeding a pot of shredded tobacco and smoking. He smoked and thought as if it was the hardest decision of his life. From time to time, the baby cried out, as if to say, "Help me, I want to live, please, help me." ”

The kung fu of a bag of cigarettes is very fast, but it is very slow in the world of the old village chief, as if he has thought about all the memories of this life. "This little life, he hasn't seen this world of flowers, is he going to another world? ”

The village chief knocked the ashes of his cigarette to the ground, as if he had made some important decision, and asked, "Whoever wants to adopt this child, the village will give him some subsidy." If no one wants to adopt, let him be reunited with his family. ”

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, no one was willing to come forward and adopt this child. The village chief couldn't help but sigh, looked back at the child, and said, "Let's go with your family." Turning around, the village chief walked towards Fang Ze, intending to bury him with his family.
