Chapter 19: A Word
"What is a living corpse?" Shangguan Mei asked.
Zhong Qin stood up straight and paced: "A living corpse is a special existence in the world, and in the vernacular, it is a corpse that is dead and does not disperse. ”
Shangguan Mei's eyes lit up with ignorance, and it was obvious that she didn't understand.
"Will the corpses be scattered?" she suddenly remembered that the demons and gods in the mythological drama would turn into particles and disappear after they died.
Zhong Qin's explanation is too mythical, she is just a mortal, and she really can't understand this kind of immortal language.
Ignorant human beings. Zhong Qin sighed twice and spoke patiently slowly. "As long as it is a human being, after death, the cells of consciousness and corpse will decay and collapse, this is the law of life and death. And Xiao Si, he is a special case beyond the law of life and death, so he has become a living corpse that dies but does not disperse. ”
"Isn't this a zombie?" Shangguan Mei concluded.
Zhong Qin shook his head and corrected: "No, no, zombie corpses will rot, and what controls the body's actions is the resentment before death, eating blood, being afraid of light, and being inhuman." And the living corpse is completely different, he became a corpse when he was alive, and it is the consciousness of a normal person who controls the body, not only has a long lifespan, but also has some simple spells, is not afraid of light, avoids water, and his nemesis is human blood. ”
"Oh!" I don't understand it, but I understand it.
Zombies are bad eggs, living corpses are good eggs.
"But why are they all called corpses?" To be honest, the word "corpse" is very frightening.
"Because they don't have breathing or heartbeat!" Zhong Qin said succinctly.
………… Now she didn't think the living corpse was a good egg, she actually stayed with a person who didn't breathe and had no heartbeat, no, the living corpse, actually stayed for a whole night.
But when she thought that Xiao Si had saved her from Meng Jiaxi's hand, her heart was suddenly slowly suppressed.
Or, the living corpse isn't as scary as it sounds.
Xiao Si is the king of the singer world, most of the lyrics and songs are written by himself, and he has heard a lot of songs on Shangguan Mei, but his style is very melancholy, either reminiscing or sad.
She is a sunflower yearning for the sun, and she has never been nostalgic for negative things, so she listened to those songs once or twice and then didn't listen to them again.
Now that I think about it carefully, those songs are really well written, but they don't belong to her, if she falls in love and then breaks up, she will probably fall in love with this special singer.
To be honest, she has never liked gossip, and she began to be curious about his life experience.
"According to what you said, Xiao Si turned out to be a human, so how did he become a living corpse later?"
The conjecture in his mind was that he would cultivate the Tao and then become an immortal, but thinking of the name of this living corpse, she was afraid that she would be despised by Zhong Qin if she said it.
I'm glad she didn't.
Zhong Qin thought for a while, blinked, and said after a while: "I heard from other elves, Xiao Si's original name was Na Luoyan, and he was an emperor more than a thousand years ago, maybe he did too much evil when he was the emperor, and then he angered the gods, and then he was cursed. ”
"If you are cursed by God, you will become a living corpse?" Shangguan Mei was a little surprised.
"I don't know, but the living corpses were indeed cursed by God. There is only one in tens of millions of years, which is more precious than the giant panda. ”
"Are there immortals in this world?" Although she has watched a lot of mythological dramas, she has never believed in ghosts and gods when she lives in the age of science, of course, these are all things that happened before she met Zhong Qin.
Now, I have to think about believing that there are elves, and immortals may not have any.
"Nonsense, of course. Zhong Qin was sighing in his heart again
ignorance. "It's just that there are very few now, and it's extremely difficult to see, not to mention you humans, even if it's us elves, it's rare to see them. ”
"Have you seen it?" Seeing that Zhong Qin was too embarrassed, Shangguan Mei deliberately asked this question.
Sure enough, Zhong Qin's high-spirited chin was lowered, and it spread its hands to the sides happily. "Nope. ”
"Why do you long-lived fellows like to curse people?" God is like this, and so is Meng Po. Shangguan Mei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is it the reason for living too long and being bored?"
"Go, go, go. Zhong Qin cleaned himself up: "It's not you, except for Meng Po and the gods, there is no one in the world who has the ability to curse humans, including elves." ”
"Oh!" Shangguan Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she got the answer, otherwise she would have to prevent Zhong Qin from being unhappy and curse herself.
"But ......," she thought for a moment with her chin in mind, "it seems good to be a living corpse." "Longevity, it's a pipe dream that everyone hopes for but can't achieve.
"Hmph......" Zhong Qin smiled: "Okay, let me tell you, if you don't talk about anything else, it's like being hungry, and it's unbearable." ”
"What hunger?"
"Living corpses are afraid of water, and almost all of the food has water, so it can't be touched, but because it's a human body, it's going to be hungry all the time. ”
When Shangguan Mei heard this, she suddenly thought of something.
That night, Xiao Si's assistant said that Mr. Xiao would solve the problem of eating by himself, and he never prepared food for him, so he couldn't eat at all!
She tried to be hungry once, and one time in high school, the New Year's food was too good, and her weight unfortunately broke 100, and then she used the shortest way to save the most hurtful hunger.
She didn't want to feel that feeling anymore, and even if her weight broke 100 again in the future, she wouldn't choose to die like this.
"It's so pitiful!" she sighed heartily.
Zhong Qin continued, it must explain all the powerful relationships to Shangguan Mei, and it is best to stay away from him.
"Not only that, although the living corpse has a long life and some mana, everything stays at the moment when he becomes a living corpse, including his appearance and emotions, so you look at him, he never smiles, his expression is melancholy, these are the last moments when he became a living corpse. If I guessed correctly, his last moments as a human being were in a very sad state, and he was sad all the time. Do you still think that's okay?"
Shangguan Mei's head shook like a rattle.
She doesn't want to die, it's better to live a good life and be a ever-changing person.
"If I become like this, I guess I will have my heart ready to die. Suddenly very pitiful and sighing, no wonder his songs are all sad and melancholy type.
"Die?" Zhong Qin continued to pour cold water on the flames: "If you become a living corpse, you have no right to die." ”
Not even dead, Shangguan Mei's eyes widened, the thief was terrible. "Why? Aren't living corpses afraid of water and blood?"
Zhong Qin said: "The skin of a living corpse will itch if it touches water, but just wait a day or two." If it touches water, the skin will rot into holes and holes, and it will still not die. His body is already dead, only consciousness is alive, how else can he die, it is useless to jump into the river and hang himself to drink poison. ”
"Wow, isn't this the same life as heaven and earth?"
"No, I've heard that if the god who cursed you wants you to die, you still have to die. ”
Shangguan Mei: "............"
Well, now her desire to be a living corpse is useless.
Suddenly, he began to rejoice that it was Meng Po who cursed him, not the willful god.
"Xiao sighs so pitiful!" she sympathized.
Zhong Qin didn't think so. "As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, God is the most powerful existence in the world, and he is also the most tolerant, and he will never curse people easily, at least since Pangu opened the world, there have only been two living corpses in the world. ”
"............" Shangguan Mei continued to support her chin and insisted on the thoughts in her heart. Xiao Si is still very pitiful.
How sad it must be that death cannot be controlled by itself.
"I'm telling you so much, I'm just to tell you that God and Meng Niang are not the same thing at all, Meng Niang curses people willfully, and people who curse God are all people who are not tolerated by heaven and earth, and there is no benefit in getting close to him, but he may be implicated. ”
Zhong Qin suddenly became serious, his eyes staring at Shangguan Mei tightly, forcing her to agree.
Shangguan Mei knew that it was for her own good, so she nodded: "Okay, I'll try to be good." Knowing that the answer was not the best, she immediately patted her ass: "Anyway, I have you, I believe you won't let him hurt me." ”
Zhong Qin remained motionless, keeping his eyes and movements looking at her.
Time seemed to stand still.
The air is remarkably quiet.
Shangguan Mei was a little skeptical that Zhong Qin had cast the magic spell of time standstill.
But she seems to be able to move......
Zhong Qin, who was motionless, was very surprised, Shangguan Mei looked carefully, but found that two red clouds appeared on its face.
Shy?
She didn't dare to send information, so she opened it again in the blink of an eye, and the two red clouds became even redder.
Really shy?
Zhong Qin was shy...... Elves can be shy?
Instantly increase knowledge.
made her face hot, and she poked Zhong Qin's little hand in embarrassment: "That, are you okay?"
Zhong Qin instantly came back to his senses and shook his head like a rattle. "It's okay, it's okay. ”
With a weak heart, Shangguan Mei smiled secretly.
I can't imagine that I'm still a little charming, although I can't confuse a man, but it's still okay to confuse and confuse the elves.
Just looking at this spherical ginseng that was briefly confused, Shangguan Mei was not happy for long.
She suddenly became whimsical and poked Zhong Qin's little hand again: "Little Zhong Zhong, will you really become a human?"
"Absolutely. Zhong Qin's eyes were very sure.
"How long will it take?"
Zhong Qin seriously lowered his head and calculated silently: "If nothing else, it's about two hundred years!"
In an instant, Shangguan Mei suppressed her smile.
Zhong Qin looked at the woman in front of him who turned her face faster than a book, and asked with a confused head, "What's the ...... "He didn't seem to provoke her, did he?"
Shangguan Mei didn't look back and was silent.
"What the hell is going on?" it jumped in front of Shangguan Mei, and its two little short legs accidentally grew and almost fell.
Shangguan Mei held back a smile and said, "I don't want to talk to you." ”
“…………”
A woman's heart is really a needle under the sea.
……………………………………………………
"Anyway, I have you, I'm sure you won't let him hurt me. ”
When Shangguan Mei said this, a picture suddenly popped up in Zhong Qin's mind.
In a sea of colorful flowers, the blue sky and white clouds are clear, and there are only two people in the silence.
The man in white clothes with wide sleeves, standing with his hands in his hands, his waist slightly bent, bowed his head and looked at the woman kneeling on the grass seriously and worriedly.
The woman's blue shirt was fluttering, and her small body was almost buried in the sea of flowers.
The man wanted to stretch out his hand but didn't move, just spoke to the woman lightly, and the worry on his face didn't penetrate into the words at all.
"Arrow, this flower is poisonous, be careful. ”
The woman continued to pick the red flower the size of a grain of rice, shook her head and said with a smile, "Anyway, I have you, I believe you won't let it hurt me." ”
The man's face turned red, like a ripe apple.
The red in the picture spread to Zhong Qin, and it still can't tell whether the person who makes it blush is the beauty of the city in the picture or Shangguan Mei.
The long-sleeved man who stood with his hands in his hands, warm as jade, was actually the self he had only met once, and that was the face he had since become a human.
But who was that woman? It didn't have any memory......
For a long time afterward, it was reminiscing about its life for more than a thousand years, but ...... There is nothing missing.
So, who is that woman?
And it has never taken on a human form in reality.
Who are those two people?
