Chapter 4: Cruelty

Shen Yaohua supported herself and followed behind the wandering spirit, and after walking a short distance, a clear spring appeared in front of her, with wild fruits and herbs she didn't recognize. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

She drank water, ate the fruit, listened to the words of the spirit, washed and chewed some herbs, changed her blood-stained clothes, washed them and hung them on the branches, and was stunned for a while, when she suddenly thought of something.

Taking out the jade statue and setting it up, Shen Yaohua cut his forehead and palm, knelt in front of the jade statue and kowtowed sincerely and silently, hoping that the goddess could hear her prayer and transcend these poor remnants.

She kept her eyes closed, and she didn't see the jade statue gradually emitting luminous light, and she didn't see those light clusters disappear little by little.

When she opened her eyes, she felt an extra tranquility around her, and the white and golden geist chuckled and said, "I thank you on behalf of those remnant souls, you are the one who brought their souls back to peace." ”

It's done?

Shen Yaohua turned his head to look around, and sure enough, except for the group around her, the light clusters that were entangled with her all disappeared, and with the disappearance of the light clusters, the air around her seemed to be clear.

That day, the old goddess cut her forehead and made her kneel and pray to the goddess, and now she just wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect that it really happened, and her luck was not too good.

"You're lucky, you're protected by the gods, and you've met me again."

The geist chuckled, he seemed to have a good temperament, gentle, loved to laugh, kind-hearted but not pedantic, when he was broken, he would never drag mud and water.

Shen Yaohua also smiled and asked, "I hope those remnant souls are really happy, what about you, why are you still here?" ”

The spirit floated in front of her eyes, and seemed to be in a very good mood, and said with a smile in her voice: "I don't know, it seems that there is an invisible rope that ties me, and if I can't untie it, I can only wander in the world." ”

Shen Yaohua sniffed his somewhat blocked nose and asked, "Who were you before you died?" ”

Knowing more about him might help him recover his body.

"I don't know." The geist smiled bitterly, "I don't even know who I am. ”

He didn't know who he was, how he died, and where he died, he wandered for a long time before he gradually came to his senses, and he still couldn't find a sense of belonging.

His unconventional soul is trapped within a certain realm, he can wander at will, and even as long as he is not directly exposed to the sun, he can also appear during the day, and the light only makes him feel uncomfortable.

He asked, "What about you, why are you traveling alone?" ”

"My family is dead." Shen Yaohua pouted and said: "Actually, I don't know who I am, they didn't even give me a name, my mother-in-law told me that my surname is Shen, and the name was suddenly come up by myself, I think I should be called Yaohua, what about you, do you have a name that makes you feel that it should belong to you?" ”

"I ......"

The wandering soul seemed to be in deep thought, Shen Yaohua stared at the ball of light that was bright and dark for a while, and felt that his brain was dizzy again, so he directly lay on the grass and closed his eyes.

The geist floated to the side of her face and instructed, "You can't get cold anymore, make some fire." ”

Shen Yaohua's face was pressed against the slightly cool grass and he shook his head lightly, and said in a daze: "It's better not to do it, it will attract people." ”

Once she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, she still had palpitations when she remembered what happened during the day.

"It's okay, you can rest if you have a fire, and I will help you keep an eye on your surroundings."

There was nothing to fear except man, and the beasts of the mountains either fled into the mountains, or they were eaten by the hungry, and it was difficult to see even a wild mouse.

When the wandering spirit said this, Shen Yaohua picked up some dry firewood and made a fire, spread out the wrapperskin under him, covered his body with a coarse cloth robe, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

The fire was almost burned in a short time, and the wandering soul couldn't add a single firewood to the fire after trying hard for a long time, so he could only sigh helplessly and watch the firewood burn out.

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, and after Shen Yaohua woke up, the wind and cold were not serious, she ate some wild fruits, chewed some herbs, packed up her baggage and continued to the south.

She said to the spirit: "I can't help you find the corpse all over the world, since we both think that my luck is good, it is better to just walk, maybe we will find it while walking."

The geist has no opinion, and one person and one soul go together.

He has an extremely sensitive perception ability, which is a little weaker in the daytime, and he will notice the slightest disturbance at night, which makes Shen Yaohua not restless day and night.

He always met a lot of friends, that is, the ghosts, and there seemed to be more wandering ghosts than living people these days.

Shen Yaohua prayed for a goddess to transcend the soul of the dead every day, but he did not succeed for several days, but he was crumbling due to blood loss and lack of food.

The scars on her forehead and palm had not healed before they had been cut again, and there were faint signs of deterioration, and the herbs were not good.

"Forget it, if you continue like this, you're going to come and be my companion."

The geist reached out and touched her forehead with some distress, but naturally she couldn't touch it.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yaohua didn't notice the ghost's move, and was still thinking hard, if he didn't succeed once, it would be okay, but it was clear that so many dead souls had been overcrossed, how could it not work? She prayed with blood every time.

Shen Yaohua glanced at the large group of light behind him and said to the wandering spirit: "They can only stay in this Luotong Mountain, but we can't stay here all the time and find a way to overtake them, so we must find the reason as soon as possible." ”

She looked at the jade statue upside down and didn't find a trace of abnormality, could it be that the problem was her?

She couldn't figure it out, and her head hurt when she thought about it.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, I want to sleep."

Shen Yaohua held his forehead and lay on the hot earthen kang and sighed comfortably.

It's the end of September, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and it is really cold to sleep in the open air at night.

She soon fell asleep, and in a trance it seemed that her soul had left her body, floating in the room, looking at herself in her sleep.

She looked a little pitiful, her thin body curled up in a ball, covered with patched gray robes, with strips of cloth wrapped around her head, and the green juice and blood stains of herbs oozed out, green and red were very ugly.

But a moment later, she saw another version of herself, walking cautiously and terrified through the dark corridor.

She walked against the damp wall, her nose smelling rotten.

The cave was so quiet that she could still hear her footsteps and heartbeat clearly.

The road seemed ominous, but she had to take it again.

It was her dream, she floating in mid-air and sleeping on the kang both knew, one was very sober and told the other two themselves: don't be afraid, it's just a dream, and the other frowned in the familiarity, worried about herself in the dream.

It was a bad feeling, she was divided into three, one was a bystander, the other was experiencing, her only true self was asleep, unable to do anything about what was happening.

"Go back!"

In the darkness, there was a sudden shout, and the voice was very familiar.

Mother-in-law?

The three Shen Yaohua were happy at the same time.

"Go back!"

The old goddess drank again, and the dark cave began to shake, as if some monster was about to break through the earth.

Come on!

Shen Yaohua, who was floating in the air, shouted, she didn't seem to hear it in the cave, and still stood there stupidly, as if she was stunned.

How stupid!

Shen Yaohua scolded herself, her brows furrowed in her sleep, but she couldn't control herself in her dream.

"Don't sacrifice the essence blood to cross the soul in the future, your spiritual power will be destroyed if you exceed it three times, you have already used it twice, the goddess has a spirit, and she will not accept it again."

The old goddess's words resounded faintly in the darkness, and then there was another broken shout: Go back!

Shen Yaohua in the cave was hit by a cloud of white light and flew out, and she woke up in a familiar way, looking at the roof in a daze, as if she could still see another self floating there.
