Zhang Su came back from his confusion, patted his forehead, cheered himself up from his decadence, and strode towards the exit of the alley.

Just when Zhang Su passed a round manhole cover spread on the ground, suddenly, the manhole cover that was originally tightly closed was unexpectedly flipped, and at this time, Zhang Su's center of gravity happened to be concentrated on the side of the wellhead, and his body unconsciously leaned forward with the overturned manhole cover, and as a result, in an unguarded situation, Zhang Su's legs were weightless at the wellhead, and Zhang Su's whole body suddenly fell down.

The sudden change made Zhang Su panic for a moment, but after a blink of an eye, Zhang Su reacted, he struggled violently in weightlessness, and his two arms instantly stood on the edge of the wellhead, and he immediately supported his body, and used his elbow to force down, wanting to use his strength to pull his body out of the edge of the well, so as not to fall into it.

Before Zhang Su completely withdrew his whole body from the wellhead, the manhole cover standing on the edge of the well continued to overturn, and one side of the manhole cover fell downward towards the position where Zhang Su's legs were, and the manhole cover weighing dozens of pounds directly hit Zhang Su's legs, and Zhang Su's knees were completely suppressed, and his legs were clamped on the edge of the wellhead.

Zhang Su sat on the ground with a buttocks, felt the huge pain in his legs, Zhang Su gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, with both hands forcefully, supporting the ground, and using the smashed leg to pry the iron manhole cover weighing dozens of pounds, trying to barely pull out his legs from the heavy pressure, but unfortunately he wasted a lot of strength and failed to open enough gaps in the manhole cover, his legs were still pressed, and the legs that were originally in pain began to become numb, and he slowly lost consciousness.

"Even you, a ghast, dare to do it in broad daylight!"

Just when Zhang Su was at a loss, a rough and unfamiliar voice came from behind Zhang Su, and then, Zhang Su felt that his shoulder was grabbed by a thick hand, and his whole body was dragged violently by a huge force, and half of his body that fell into the well was lifted out of the edge of the man-eating well, and after that, Zhang Su felt that his whole body was thrown out by the big hand that grabbed him, and smashed directly on the broken wall in the alley, and slid down the wall to the ground.

Zhang Su didn't get up immediately, but chose to crawl on the cracked concrete floor, supporting the ground with one hand, and constantly rubbing his chest with the other, calming the qi and blood that kept surging up in his body.

At the same time, Zhang Su felt that the moment he was forcibly dragged out of the well, his numb legs suddenly regained consciousness, but the heart-rending pain from his legs was almost beyond the range he could bear, and his mouth screamed out of his mouth unconsciously "ah".

When the blood in his chest stopped surging, Zhang Su turned over and sat on the ground, staring at his two injured legs with two eyes tightly, and the extra blood marks on the knees on the legs were the best proof of the accident just now, at the location of the blood marks, there was a faint circle of blue-black scars, like ten finger prints hidden under the blood marks, and did not attract Zhang Su's attention, Zhang Su was gritting his teeth at this time, puffing out his cheeks, enduring the severe pain, gently rubbing his legs, hoping that the pain would be relieved.

"Want to run?"

In front of Zhang Su, the rough and unfamiliar voice came again, with a bit of anger and a bit of contempt in his words.

Zhang Su raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties standing in front of him, with black curly hair and a mouth full of stubble.

Zhang Su continued to look at the person in front of him, and found that this person was wearing a black and red men's silk scarf around his neck, wearing an army green windbreaker on his upper body, fat canvas pants on his lower body, and a pair of big-headed cowhide boots with nail soles.

"Soul Locker!"

Just when Zhang was puzzled, the middle-aged man's body suddenly dived towards the wellhead, his body was like a tiger lying on the edge of the wellhead, his back arched, his left hand was propped on the ground, his right hand was suddenly raised and then quickly fell, and he slapped violently above the manhole cover, and then turned his palm into a lock, and once again buckled down with his right hand tiger mouth, his palm trembled in mid-air, as if he was holding something, and the man's whole hand was bruised, as if he was constantly exerting force.

Zhang Su looked at the strange behavior of the middle-aged man, and felt a little confused by the second monk.

The man's movements did not end there, and when the shaking of his right hand slowly slowed down, and after a little stability, the man became kneeling on one knee, his left hand was shrunk in front of his chest, and his fingertips were lightly pinched, not knowing what words were muttering in his mouth, at this time, the shaking of the man's right hand completely stopped, and a gust of wind through the hall rose inexplicably, overturning some broken soil and sand in the alley, and then, the man untied the pinching of his left hand, and took out a small cup made of jade from the pocket of his waist, and the small cup was lifted in front of the man, skillfully bit off the wooden stopper at the mouth of the cup, and pushed the mouth of the cup against the tiger's mouth in his right hand.

Zhang Su stared at the side with straight eyes, after the jade-like small cup was reached by the middle-aged man in the tiger's mouth in his right hand, a slight light suddenly appeared on the small cup, like a firefly under the dim sky, flickering brightly, and when the small cup was no longer shiny, the middle-aged man took off the plug of the wood biting on his mouth with his right hand, put the stopper back on the small cup again, and took the small cup back into the previous pocket again.

"Are you alright?"

The middle-aged man, who had done a series of strange movements, turned around and asked about Zhang Su's situation.

Zhang Su hadn't completely recovered from the incident just now, and when he heard the middle-aged man's inquiry, he just nodded habitually, but his eyes were still vigilantly staring at the middle-aged man in front of him, not knowing whether this person was good or bad, and he didn't know whether he should be grateful to this person, or should he be vigilant and beware of the suspicious person in front of him.

Just when Zhang Su was thinking, the man walked to Zhang Su's side in two steps, bowed down, bent down, and glanced at the injury on Zhang Su's leg, and his face showed a strange expression, in this expression, Zhang Su saw a little worry and pity, and then a little more tangled and helpless, like a doctor diagnosed the patient and found that the patient had a terminal illness, the only difference was that there was no despair in the man's eyes.

"Can you still go?" The man asked gently

Zhang Su only knew that his leg injury was unbearable, but he didn't know how far his leg had hurt, after hearing the man's inquiry, Zhang Su kept some distance from the man who was constantly approaching him, while holding on to a side of the wall in the alley, trying to use his legs to support his body, but unfortunately, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, Zhang Su tried a few times, but failed to stand up once, and even held on to the wall and could not walk upright, Zhang Su had to sit back to the root of the wall helplessly, facing the middle-aged man in front of him, Shook his head gently.

"Don't be afraid, my name is Lu Sen, thirty-two years old, and I am also from Qicheng, my friends call me Brother Sen, you can also call me like that."

The man introduced himself in a gruff voice, and stretched out his right hand to the slumped on the ground.

"Zhang Su, twenty-three years old."

Zhang Su replied with a little vigilance, and at the same time stretched out his hand and politely shook the man named Lu Sen gently.

"I'm not a bad person, I just happen to work around here, I see that your injury is not light, and the wound will easily worsen if it continues like this, or I will take you to the doctor."

Although Lu Sen's voice was rough, he could speak softly, and he checked Zhang Su's injuries again and asked Zhang Su.

"I still can't move, and when I stand up, I feel a lot of pain, and my legs can't be used at all." Zhang Wei replied with a wry smile.

"If you don't dislike it, I can carry you." Lu Sen said, turned around in front of Zhang Su, bowed his tiger's back, made a posture of carrying a person, and then added, "Come up." ”

Zhang Su looked at the middle-aged man in front of him again, and hesitated for a moment, but when the heart-rending pain in his leg came again, Zhang Su finally decided to believe the middle-aged man named Lu Sen in front of him and let him take him to find a place to heal.

"Thank you, Brother Sen."

Zhang Su climbed onto Lu Sen's back, remembering that the reason why he was able to get out of the well smoothly just now was also due to the help of this eldest brother, and he should have repaid the grace of dripping water, but now all Zhang Su can do is to lie on the back of his benefactor and say thank you.

"Thank you, it's just a little favor." Lu Sen was unimpressed by Zhang's thanks.

"Brother Sen, can I ask you a few questions, what were you doing to the wellhead just now?"

Zhang Su was carried by Lu Sen and walked in the alley for a while, the more Zhang Su thought about it, the more he felt that what happened just now was a little strange, and finally he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Lu Sen in front of him.

"Well, in the words you can understand, it is: You met a ghost hitting the wall, and I was catching a ghost." Lu Sen thought for a moment and replied in the simplest and clearest words.

After listening to Lu Sen's answer, Zhang Su was a little surprised, he had only heard the word ghost hunting in mythological stories, and what appeared in his mind were the images of Hades and Zhong Kui, and Lu Sen's answer was so relaxed and natural, it didn't seem to be anything special, which made Zhang Su feel even more incredible.

"Ghost hunting? Are there really ghosts in this world? ”

"Absolutely."

"Then why can't I see it?"

"Only people who have opened their yin and yang eyes can see ghosts, it's normal that you can't see them, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist, you can't see bacteria and fungi either, just because you lack a microscope, of course you can't see the planets in outer space, that's because you lack a telescope, and in the same way, you can't see ghost souls because you don't have corresponding eyes."

Lu Sen used a simple comparison to answer Zhang Su.

After listening to Lu Sen's answer, Zhang Su showed surprise on his face, although Lu Sen's truth is correct, but people have long regarded the theory of ghosts and ghosts as feudal superstition, and regarded supernatural things as the blind spots of human beings under science, and the theory of ghosts and gods generally only appears in mythological novels, such as "Liao Zhai", "Zhi Wei", "Sou Shen Ji", not many people will take the things that cannot be seen or touched seriously, Zhang Su is also, an orthodox atheist, who is not afraid of heaven and earth and lives to this day, and has never believed in any evil ghosts and gods, The only thing I believe in is my own eyes, and they all say that seeing is believing, and nowadays, even what my eyes see can be faked, let alone those assumptions and speculations that my eyes don't see.

"So, Brother Sen, you are the one who opened the eyes of yin and yang, so what is the ghost hunt you are talking about?" Zhang Su intends to get to the bottom of it.

"Yin and Yang eyes are too complicated to explain, this comes back to say, the so-called ghost hunting is actually the transcendence of the dead soul, the difference between humans and animals is that people have souls, after people die, the soul will be separated from the body, dust will return to dust and return to the earth, the body will turn into decay like a fallen leaf, and then return to the earth and turn into soil, and the soul will continue to wander in this world, the purpose of ghost hunting is to transcend these wandering souls to another world, so that the dead souls can be reborn." Lucerne explained.

"I've read these in the book, saying that the soul of a person after death will be taken to the underworld, where there is a judge of the king of Hades, there is the black and white impermanence of life, there is Zhong Kui who hunts ghosts, and after drinking, you will forget the Meng Po soup of your previous life, by the way, what else do you have to cross, so Brother Sen, you are Zhong Kui's subordinate, or are you Zhong Kui."

After listening to Lu Sen's explanation, Zhang Su remembered that he had read the mythical stories about ghosts and ghosts in Journey to the West when he was a child.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person." Lu Sen smiled and shook his head.

Then Lu Sen went on to explain: "What you said is just a story made up by others, some are speculations by people who can simply psychic about the uninformed spirit world, and some are a guise used by the villain to swagger and deceive, in fact, the real spirit world is very different from that, specifically it should be like this......"

After that, Zhang Su heard the following stories.

In Lucerne's mouth, the origin of man is made up of three substances: soul, spirit, and body. When man is first born, like all living things, he is just a fresh shell without a soul, at this time, a pure soul with pure spiritual consciousness enters this fresh and young body, and the pure spiritual consciousness as a medium connects the pure soul with the young body, and a complete person is born. Spiritual consciousness allows people to continue to learn under the stimulation of the external environment, become more intelligent, and become the overlord of this world, while the existence of the soul is to complete a certain endless cycle.

Under the influence of the external environment, the body will continue to grow, the spiritual consciousness will continue to grow, and the person's cognition will continue to increase.

Until one day, when the body reaches the end of its useful life, or the body is excessively damaged, the chain between the soul and the body will break, and the soul will be separated from the body with the spirit consciousness that has grown, and then the dead soul will appear.

The souls of the dead wander between heaven and earth with their original spiritual consciousness, because the soul of the human soul is constricted in the space of the human body, most of the dead souls can not directly affect the normal life of human beings, but some of the dead souls will also use some means to interfere with the normal order of the human world, so the ghost hunters need to erase the spiritual consciousness of the dead souls of these deceased people, and then return these spiritual consciousness to the pure soul and send it to the next reincarnation, which is the so-called transcendence.

The transcendent soul is not reincarnated or reborn in the existing world, as in mythology, but enters through a certain passage into another world that coexists with the world in which humans live, which we call the Taoyuan Realm, where the soul resides in the body of some kind of creature belonging to that world.

In the same way, the souls of the Taoyuan Realm will also come to our world called the Heaven and Earth Realm to find a new body for rebirth after being exceeded, there is no mythical underworld, and there is no rumored heaven and hell, some are just souls in our heaven and earth realm and that Taoyuan realm are constantly circulating.

Lu Sen's tone was very flat when he explained, and the content he said seemed to be commonplace, but in Zhang Su's eyes, Lu Sen's words seemed to help him open the door to a new world, and every sentence was so mysterious.

"Brother Sen, are you the one who overlived the soul?" Zhang Su asked in surprise.

"To be precise, it's not me, but us, although the people who have passed the soul are mysterious, but there have always been their shadows in the long river of history, in ancient times, there were wizards, sacrifices, diviners, and the emperor's period, the divination officials and priests around him also belong to this category, and now there are still some Taoist priests, onmyoji, psychic, etc., most of them are people who perform this duty." Lusen corrected.

"So, was I attacked by the Revenant just now?" Zhang Su recalled what happened just now and asked.

"Yes." Lu Sen nodded.

"Brother Sen, are you a Taoist priest?" Zhang Su continued to ask.

"Almost, to be exact, I'm a soul master." Lusen replied.

Zhang Su was originally lying on Lu Sen's back honestly, and when he heard the words "soul master", he almost fell to the ground without holding it steady, he thought back, "soul master", isn't it the position recruited by the soul hunting company that was interviewed, and he didn't expect to meet here before he walked out of the alley.

"Soul Master? Have you heard of a place called Soul Hunter? Zhang asked tentatively.

"I'm the soul master from that company." Lu Sen nodded.

"And where are you taking me now?"

"That's right, it's the Soul Hunting Company, the soul on your leg has been torn apart by the ghast just now, and only there can help you heal!"
