Chapter 66: The Mysterious Old Man
I looked at the female ghost, and thought in my heart, she spoke with a northeast flavor, can she be a fellow countryman, if I kneel and lick it, can I get a special treatment or something.
"He's the one we met...... we've come and gone," the weeping ghost briefly told me about it, and then left with his partner.
The female ghost stared at me for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"
"Qin Wuyi." I answered truthfully.
The female ghost opened the book and flipped through it, her brow gradually furrowed.
When I saw her expression, I couldn't help but worry, could it be that I am a heinous person? But I didn't do that many weird things.
"There's no name on it." The female ghost closed the book and shook her head.
I was stunned, "Is it true that all the people who died unexpectedly are recorded in it?" ”
"That's right, whether it's those who have been captured or those who are still staying in the sun, there will be a record on it." The female ghost nodded.
I pondered, if so, then there is only one possibility, I'm not dead yet!
"Could it be that I'm not dead yet? Beauty, can you give me back the yang? "My eyebrows fluttered and I began to perform my beautiful man's tricks.
The female ghost's eyes widened, "Bold evil ghost, you actually dare to seduce the ghost, do you still want to leave when you come to the city of vain death?" Get me in! ”
The two Yin soldiers didn't give me a chance to defend themselves, and opened the door and threw me in.
it! Could it be that the female ghost doesn't like men? She's a Lala? Otherwise, how could I fail to seduce with my handsome face?
I won't get an answer to this question, and when I stopped rolling, I found myself in a city where ancient and modern buildings were mixed, and there were a lot of pedestrians, most of whom wore modern costumes, and very few of them wore ancient costumes.
The expressions of these ghosts were all vicious, either resentful, hateful, or violent, and some of them were in a hurry, not knowing where they were going, and some of them were standing still, their lips constantly opening and closing, as if they were cursing something.
What's even more terrifying is that there are brawls here, and they can be seen everywhere.
Not far from me, an old man and a man fought, and his opponent was the young man who had been sent by the ghost before.
They tore and beat each other, punching and kicking while actually opening their mouths to bite each other, and with each bite, the other party would become a little darker.
Passers-by either turned a blind eye to it, or applauded from the sidelines, or even licked their lips and didn't know what to ponder.
Seeing that the old man was about to be eaten by the young man, I hurriedly picked a direction with fewer people and walked over, mother, don't let him see me, and eat me on a whim.
It's not impossible, and it's very high, I think that guy should be out of his mind, because it's bad to look at the familiar and attack me.
I try to keep my distance from other ghosts when I walk, because I am scared when I see their menacing appearance.
It's a pity that in this place, it's not that if you don't look for trouble, trouble won't come to you.
I kept my head down because every now and then a ghost would look at me and their eyes would make me shudder.
In front of me, a bare-chested, big-pants, stout bald man walked towards me.
I caught a glimpse of it and changed direction, for fear of being targeted by him.
However, he went in whichever way I went, as if they had met each other.
I gritted my teeth, this guy definitely had bad intentions, because I stole a look, and he looked at me like a wolf staring at a rabbit, and all the words flowed out.
After realizing that there was no way he would let me go, I just turned around and ran, not that I didn't think I could beat him, but I didn't know what the ghosts were fighting by.
It's like the two ghosts I met when I came, if they were living people, it would not be a problem for me to clean up both of them myself, but as a soul, I would feel a strong oppression when I stood next to them, and my intuition told me that if I did something with them, I would definitely be distracted.
Although the feeling of oppression from the bald demon is not so strong, with the intuition cultivated from years of fighting, I am sure that I am definitely not his opponent.
The bald demon didn't seem to expect me to run away, and after a moment's pause, he threw off his arms and chased after him, shouting, "Boy! Come and let me take a bite! ”
"Bite your uncle!" I cursed, if I really didn't run, it wouldn't be as simple as a bite.
The bald demon was scolded by me, and he sped up his speed and sped foul language.
I scoffed at it because I found that he wasn't as fast as I was, and it wouldn't be long before I could get rid of him.
Unfortunately, however, as we ran away on the way, other demons joined him in chasing me.
Mader! Master, I'm still fragrant! I cursed in my heart.
Ghosts don't have internal organs, so this kind of running didn't make me out of breath, but as the running continued, I felt as if some kind of strength was losing from my body.
As time went on, I became weaker and weaker, and I guess if I continued to run like this, sooner or later I would be gone.
The ghosts who joined the chase later gave up chasing me, probably because they felt that the power consumed did not match the amount of power they could get after eating me, and only the bald demon persevered behind him.
The ghosts everywhere limited my speed, and I didn't succeed in getting rid of him as I had hoped, so I could only keep a distance of about ten meters from him.
"Hey! Lad! "As I passed the door of a house on the side of the road, the old man sitting on the stone pier at the door suddenly beckoned to me.
I had noticed him a long time ago, because he was wearing a green costume and stood out from the crowd when he sat there.
"Old man, I'm being hunted down, and I don't have time to chat with you." I said impatiently.
"You come to me, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." The old man continued to wave at me.
I don't know if he's telling the truth, but I don't think I'll be able to run soon, and the old man looks very different from other evil spirits.
Let's take a gamble! I made up my mind and ran behind the old man.
The next moment, something surprising happened to me, and the bald demon who had been chasing after me stopped chasing after the old man.
He glared at me viciously and walked away with a look of reluctance on his face.
I looked at the back of the old man in front of me in amazement, this guy is definitely not an ordinary person!
"Boy Qin Wuyi, thank you for saving your life!" When I came to the old man, I was going to kneel down and kowtow to him.
The old man just stretched out his hand in front of me and held it, and I couldn't kneel down, which made me even more sure that he was not an ordinary person.
"Young man, you don't have to be polite, I'm just a little curious to see that you don't have resentment, what's the matter, there is a master to take you to practice?" The old man asked.
I shook my head, to say that when I was alive, I did have a master, that is, Sister Xiaoyao, but now I am dead.
"I thought you were going to go to someone else's hall to do a clean breeze after you practiced, but it's strange, if you don't practice, how can you have no resentment?" The old man stroked his beard.
"Uh...... Isn't that weird? I couldn't help but ask, it seems that in this vain city, it is normal for ghosts to be angry and angry, and it is out of place if there is no resentment.
"That's natural, only by being instructed by others, ghosts who know the method of cultivation can gradually wipe away the resentment on their bodies, and they will choose to go to other people's homes to accumulate merits, so that they can regain their lives as soon as possible." The old man said.
I inquired in detail and learned that only a small number of ghosts in the city of vain death can know how to practice, they either choose to listen to the scriptures and understand the Dharma, or worship the old ghosts with strong mana as teachers, and those houses on the side of the road belong to these ghosts, and ghosts who do not know how to practice cannot live at all, because they will be snatched away.
These ghosts who know how to practice have Taoism and can do magic, unlike those ordinary evil ghosts, who only know how to bite and devour, of course, they will become powerful if they keep swallowing, but most of them will be killed by ghosts who know how to practice when they swallow to a certain extent.
Because after eating other people's souls, although their strength has become stronger, they have also absorbed the other party's grievances, and their ability is getting bigger and bigger, but they don't know how to resolve their grievances, and they can easily become demons and do evil in the city of vain.
I asked the old man again, those evil spirits are very good at harming people in the yang world, why can't they go to the underworld?
The old man said that the yang world and the underworld are completely different things, and their little harmful means can't be used in the underworld at all, and the scientific way of saying it is that the air structure and gravity of the underworld are different from the yang.
I benefited a lot, and after thinking about it for a long time, I made up my mind, "Old man, can you take me as an apprentice?" ”
The old man looked at me in surprise, and after a long time he laughed and said: "No, no, no, I can't accept you as an apprentice, but if you want to practice, I can recommend you two places to go, the first is that I find you a ghost immortal master, if I recommend you to go, he will definitely accept you, that Lao Deng has been in the city of death for thousands of years, and how many famous juniors are his disciples and grandchildren."
"As for the second place, I can take you to the scripture listening center, I see that you seem to have a Buddha fate, maybe if you practice well, you will be able to get out of the sea of suffering and die in bliss."
I looked at the old man with admiration, this guy is definitely a hidden boss, I didn't expect to be met by me.
After thinking about it in my heart, I chose the latter, because the old man said that even if you practice the ghost path, you will go to the hall of the living in the future, and if you don't accumulate enough merit, you will still go to hell to suffer.
In terms of the efficiency of accumulating merits, there is nothing like the Dharma, and if I catch a brother with a bad mind in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Old man, I choose the second one, by the way, I haven't asked you for your name."
The old man stood up, "My name is Liu Zhiyuan, you can call me Lao Liu, I haven't mentioned my name for a long time, I almost forgot it, haha......"
"The younger generation didn't dare, and asked Old Man Liu to take me to the scripture listening office." I begged, this dead city is too chaotic, I am afraid that I will be accidentally eaten, it is better to hold my thighs for safety.
