Chapter 6: Ragnarok
Chen Ping followed Chen Mo out of Zhensoul Street one step at a time, the originally warm sunlight suddenly became dim the moment he stepped out of the street, and the noisy and tiresome shouting sound became invisible, replaced by a howling cold wind, piercing Chen Ping's body like a needle. Chen Ping shrunk his sleeves and complained to Chen Mo:
"Brother Mo, what's the situation, as soon as the wind comes out, it's like a scraper, what's going on with such thick clouds suddenly appearing?
At this moment, Chen Ping's perception of the environment was slightly in line with his perception of hell, the endless ruins, only the towering stones and unknown weeds stood on the dry and cracked earth, the clouds overhead covered most of the sun, and an atmosphere of despair and emptiness filled the air.
Chen Ping unconsciously felt a trace of fear and depression, Chen Mo seemed to be accustomed to the harsh environment, but subconsciously followed Chen Ping's words and looked at the sky, squinted his eyes to feel the temperature of the sun shining on his body, and slowly spoke:
"This is the real hell, you were in the core area of the underworld, the blessing source of the underworld can dispel the clouds composed of evil qi and the most evil emotions between heaven and earth, and the little ghosts surrounded by the blessing source can really be like normal people. You and I only rely on the blessings imposed on our bodies by the underworld to avoid the erosion of the hellish demon wind, like ordinary evil ghosts, if you stay in these demon winds for a day, you will not be human. ”
Chen Ping frowned slightly, under the protection of Fuyuan, except for the skin of his face, the rest of his body was full of pinprick stinging, if his Fuyuan disappeared, it is estimated that this will really be like a knife. But what is Fuyuan, Chen Ping asked Chen Mo suspiciously: "Brother Mo, is Fuyuan the luck of a good person, I heard the old man say that good people have good rewards, does it mean this Fuyuan?"
Chen Mo bowed slightly, thought for a moment, looked at the faint white light on his body, and then replied:
"It's similar to what you said, it's just that the source of happiness can only be possessed by people who are dedicated to goodness, and the bad guys who put down the butcher's knife don't have this kind of protection, so many evil ghosts go to hell and want to do good deeds to make up for their mistakes in life, but unfortunately none of them succeeded. This is one of the reasons why the demons in hell are becoming more and more wicked. ”
Chen Ping nodded, fortunately, although he was at home, at least he didn't do anything bad, and it must be for this reason that he was qualified to open the back door of the underworld. Chen Ping seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked Chen Mo, "Brother Mo." Will this source of blessing suddenly disappear?"
Chen Mo was a little surprised, Chen Ping noticed this so quickly, the deacons of the previous sessions didn't know that the blessing source would disappear until their souls were scattered, and they could only tell Chen Ping about the restrictions of the blessing source at the moment: "You and I are not evil spirits with evil hearts and have done bad things, so we can carry the blessing source of the underworld, but in essence, the blessing source in our body is lent to us by the underworld, no matter how many good things we do in hell, we can't produce the blessing source independently, and we can only rely on continuous work to earn money in exchange for enough reincarnated blessing source." There is an old saying called one report and one report, if you do bad things during the errand in the underworld, your body will be contaminated with cause and effect, and when the source of fortune is not enough to carry the cause and effect, the source of fortune will naturally dissipate, if you are lucky not to die of the demon wind, you will also be hunted down by the underworld. ”
Chen Mo paused, and after seeing Chen Ping's expression of understanding, he continued: "There may not be many good people in the underworld, but there are no real evildoers, if you do something wrong as a last resort, you will use all means to return to the underworld within three days in exchange for Fuyuan." Of course, if you want to degenerate into an evil ghost, there will naturally be evil qi that can protect you. The choice is yours. ”
Chen Ping hurriedly raised his hand and swore that I, Chen Ping, would not degenerate into a demon even if my soul was scattered, just kidding, after working for a year, I would send a female secretary to myself, why should I have nothing to do.
Chen Mo nodded, if Chen Ping was not willing to fall, it would be a lot less trouble for him, after all, although he was responsible on the surface, he was also responsible for cleaning up the portal.
As the two of them walked, more and more dilapidated buildings began to appear, what seemed to be an arch in the ancient Roman style stood in the middle of the street, and the black crow more than a person tall stood on the arch, adding a touch of desolation to the magnificent arch, except that the street was slightly clean, and there were ruins and ruins all around, and countless broken furniture and earthen pots were half-buried in the earth, and large black rats were shuttling through them, bringing a noisy sound of laughter. The bronze armor and broken swords seem to confirm that this street has experienced the baptism of war, and the blood stains of thousands of years ago are still stained on the blades, as if you can hear the wails of the dead souls under the sword.
In the distance, behind the wall, a ghostly spirit constantly emerged, and the wails of death and despair shuttled between the holes and the remnants of the wall, like the bitter pleading of the most wicked people, and like the executioner who did all kinds of evil cursing hideously. This is hell, where the demons are cheering for victory and the weak are making concessions. All evil is in the air, and even the most fiery hearts can be reduced to ashes here.
Chen Ping's lips trembled violently, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, his mood had changed from fear and fear to powerlessness and despair, this was the first time Chen Ping really felt the disregard for life and human nature in the whole space, in this case, Chen Ping, as a newborn ghost, has unconsciously begun to be assimilated by the environment, and the desire for life and the persistence of human nature in his heart slowly faded.
Chen Mo saw the hollowness in Chen Ping's eyes, and immediately understood the situation that Chen Ping encountered, this was just the periphery of the Ragnarok Land, if it was affected here, when it came to the core area, Chen Ping would still be the same as the previous deacons, the whole person was swallowed by darkness, and he couldn't even feel the shining point of their former human beings when he was cleaning the portal. Chen Mo looked at Chen Ping lightly, and his body exuded a righteous qi that seemed to be nothing, so as to resist the spiritual attack of the evil ghost.
Chen Ping's condition at this time is not enough to describe it with the word bad, although Chen Ping is now a ghost, but his heart is still full of humanity, but Chen Ping feels like he is standing alone in the depths of the sea, and he can't breathe because of the infinite negative emotions suppressed. At this time, if Chen Ping did not grasp the obsession or any flash of light in his heart, he was likely to be eroded by the darkness and slowly lose his humanity.
Chen Ping's empty eyes showed the picture of his childhood, everyone sat in the courtyard, the big round table was full of vegetables, after eating, his father walked the streets and alleys to help the neighbors repair household appliances, and his mother was at home doing housework. He sat on a recliner, looking at the moon in the sky, and the bright moonlight was quiet and serene.
I don't know what human nature is, and I'm more afraid of malice from the outside world, but after all, there is a spark burning in my heart, that is, born as a human being, with the happiness of seven emotions and six desires, even if it is a ghost after death, the happiness brought by human nature is still deeply buried in the bottom of my heart, until now Chen Ping knows that human nature is colorful, like a fire, red but not hot, but it can be like five roots of water, endless. Human nature is not only good, but also the bottom line and persistence.
The white light on Chen Ping's body suddenly lit up, and in Chen Mo's surprised gaze, the howling of the hundred ghosts gradually disappeared. Chen Ping's eyes seemed to be nostalgic, and they were like sadness. It's as if I unintentionally put down something and picked it up. Chen Ping smiled at Chen Mo, who had a sluggish face, and the dim hell seemed to be full of color in his eyes again.
Chen Ping knew the doubts in Chen Mo's heart, and he could understand the reason why Chen Mo didn't make a move, if he didn't discover the true humanity in his heart, he might slowly sink in the days to come, until the flame in his heart was extinguished. But now, now that I know what I'm holding onto, I don't have to fear evil spirits or the oppression of the environment.
The Buddha said: All living beings are equal, what is life, and life is good.
Before Chen Ping began to practice, he stepped over the ghost cultivation and entered the spiritual cultivation.
