Chapter 24 What is the meaning of a hundred ghosts?
I leaned over to look down and saw a pair of black and white milk babies standing side by side, round as if they were two rice balls.
"Xiao Ri, Xiao Ye, how did you get here?"
The two brothers, the Day Wanderer God and the Night Wandering God, appear together, and they can only be seen on the day of the Midyear Festival.
The two milk babies held hands, holding the long ladder and slowly climbed up, their round little faces flushed, and they hummed: "Hello aunt!"
"Good job. ”
I crouched in front of them and asked with a smile, "What about your mother?"
"My mother doesn't like to join in the fun, so I won't come today. ”
"My mother said that if my aunt is free on any day, don't forget to go to the temple to sit down. ”
The two dolls replied one after another.
"Well, I'll be there in a few days. I nodded in agreement, and took out a few coppers from my bosom and placed them in the palms of two soft hands.
"Let's go around, buy whatever you want to eat, didn't I eat your chestnut cake last time, I'll pay you today." ”
"Auntie is coming with us, right?"
"I want to eat grilled fish, my aunt will take us there!"
For some reason, although I often make the two brothers cry day and night, they are very fond of me.
If I hadn't helped Hu Ran with this, I would have been happy to take the two babies to eat and eat, but for now, ......
"I'm busy right now, shall I go to you later?"
"Auntie should come earlier!" the baby said in unison.
"I'll try my best......"
I nodded vaguely.
In the past, if I talked to Lao Cui like this, it would be a subtle expression that I couldn't do it, but the milk baby was a little more tender, and after listening to my promise, he smiled and carefully put away the copper, and saluted me obediently.
After seeing them leave, I felt out the Transfiguration Pill again, and was about to swallow it in my mouth, when I caught a glimpse of a white figure waving at me with an outstretched arm.
"Auntie, Auntie!!"
Such a voice like a spring breeze is only my white nephew.
It's really an auspicious day for the zodiac, and old acquaintances in the underworld are rushing to look for me.
The corners of my mouth hooked up a subtle wry smile, and I saw Bai Wuchang's steps light and cheerful as he walked onto the high platform, followed by Hei Wuchang behind him, his face expressionless, but a little gentler than usual.
"Xiaobai, why are you two here too?"
"Auntie, I heard that the jailer said that you are on an errand here, my brother and I came over to take a look, is there anything my aunt can help with?" Xiao Bai smiled softly.
Black Impermanence stared at me strangely, as if he didn't quite understand the purpose of my part-time job.
I looked at the two of them and said seriously: "The two pillars of the underworld have been on business trips one after another, and there is no one in charge of the Zhongyuan celebration, as an elder, I must set an example, the temple fair affairs are complicated, you two don't be lazy and slack." ”
Xiaobai's eyes nodded firmly: "Auntie, don't worry, my brother and I will not forget my aunt's teachings." ”
Black: "......"
"Alright, let's go on patrol quickly, and later the sign will turn and the parade will start performing, and you will have to help maintain order. ”
I urged.
Xiaobai was very obedient and handed me a bracelet polished by blood vines.
"Auntie, I bought this when I was shopping, and my brother and I think it's very suitable for my aunt. ”
Blackie?
I raised my eyelids, and the black-faced god was expressionless, as if he looked at me in the air, and said coldly to Xiaobai: "Let's go, don't delay my aunt's work here." ”
Xiaobai walked down the steps according to his words, and did not forget to turn around and tell me not to work too hard.
The warmth in my heart flows like a spring stream, and I only feel that the big white nephew is worthy of the No. 1 warm man in the Difu Tianzi, the little sun walking.
Xiao Hei was two steps behind, as if he was deliberately waiting for Xiao Bai to walk away, before turning his back to me and saying, "Auntie, what do you want to do?"
Ho.
My heart skipped a beat, and I was enveloped by the faint cold pressure.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The person my aunt asked us to find a few days ago has his own life and death certainty, no matter how you want to interfere, you can't reverse his fate, but you will damage your yin morality. ”
I lowered my eyes and was silent.
What Xiao Hei said is true.
Whether or not Chen Hui's life can be saved, it is not that Hu Ran can easily change it when he returns to the sun, so why bother.
But after all, I owe Xiaoqian a favor, if I can fulfill her regrets in this life in this way, even if I can just meet Chen Hui again, I can also give Xiaoqian and myself an explanation.
"Xiao Hei, you are too careful, my aunt has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, she is an old ghost, and that is also the rarest ghost. ”
I looked at his silhouette again, and there was only a faint smile.
Xiao Hei's back stiffened, and Yu Guang looked at me and said, "Auntie, Master Cui specially ordered before leaving, if my aunt needs any help, you can order me and my younger brother." ”
It's really not easy for Lao Cui to go out, all the top and bottom are dotted, and my funeral is arranged so properly.
My eyes were sour, and I smiled and nodded.
"Well, if necessary, I will seek you. ”
Under the high platform, Xiaobai craned his neck and beckoned: "Brother, why haven't you come down yet?"
"Here we go!"
Blackie responded.
It was only when I was confronted with the white impermanence that I could see some vivid expressions on the black impermanence's face, like a thick layer of ice, which could also penetrate the wisps of light through the cracks that were crisscrossed by cobwebs.
The two brothers left, and I stood on a high platform and watched the whole ceremony.
The procession in the distance appeared in the long street, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music drifted in the air along the southwest wind, the shouting in the east, the joy and song in the west, all of which were inexhaustible extravagant thoughts, all looking back on this Zhongyuan day.
I opened my mouth and swallowed the Transformation Pill, the smile on my lips quietly faded, and the whole person was like an ethereal cloud, instantly turning into a trailing streamer and burrowing into the Hundred Ghost Stick.
Open your eyes again.
"In the past few hundred years, I have always said that I am a rice worm in the underworld, but I can't imagine that today, I really have become a rice worm. ”
I slowly turned my head to look at my body, the fleshy translucent insect shape, and the long tentacles hung from the sides of my forehead like an upside-down hook, and I felt a little twisted.
If you want to talk about this lottery, I have heard the old Yama King mention it, it is transformed by one of the eyes of the first Yama King, the shape is similar to the pupil, red and round, but I never know the form.
Only when I got in today did I know what the meaning of a hundred ghosts was.
Looking up, the eyes are full of charm.
Different from the ghosts I have seen, the hundred ghosts depicted on the inner wall of this lottery are more in the form of evil demons, with three heads and six arms, a bull's head and a snake tail, or angry eyes and teeth, or blue-faced fangs, which are extremely terrifying.
I once heard a saying that one person does not enter the temple, two people do not look at the well, and three people do not hug the tree.
I have never understood the deep meaning, and when I see this hundred ghosts pressing my head today, I have a little understanding.
Whether it is gods, Buddhas and ghosts, they are a mirror in their hearts, the cycle of cause and effect, there is always retribution, let me, the ghosts who have been in the underworld for 600 years, be timid in the face of the yin pressure of a hundred ghosts.
