Chapter Forty-Eight: Mountain Baby
Under the introduction of the guide paper man, Chen Xian and Li Daosheng had gained a lot of knowledge, at least they had never heard of such a unique abnormal life.
Mountain baby, its life form should belong to the spirit species, is a kind of extremely rare mountain spirit from the human soul, in today's era, in addition to Meishan, there are only a few mountains in the country that can afford these little guys, not that the feng shui of other mountains is not good and the aura is insufficient...... It takes a lot of effort to take care of these little ones.
Their original form is infant spirits, which are commonly known as child ghosts, but they are different from ordinary child ghosts and infant spirits, they do not die in the mother's womb due to accidents, but are killed by external forces after birth, and the person who kills them is the mother, that is, their mother in a sense.
It was the mother who brought them to this splendid and colorful world.
But it was the mother who took the end of their lives.
It will not take more than one day from birth to death.
Therefore, they do not have the same great resentment as ordinary infant spirits, even if they are killed by their mothers and become ownerless and lonely souls, they are only as confused as a newborn baby, and they have no idea what is happening to them.
"After being killed by the mother, the average baby will turn into a normal child ghost, but if the place where they were killed is in the mountains, and the body is left in the mountains and forests...... After coming into contact with the earth's qi, they will have the rudiments of mountain babies. ”
When the paper man said these words, he seemed to have some emotion, and his tone became a little heavier.
"When they first became mountain babies, their bodies were more fragile than ordinary spirits, and they were on the verge of dissipating at any time, and even the wind in the mountains could blow their souls if they blew a little harder...... None of these mountain babies will survive. ”
Mountain Babies may be the most useless ghost in the world.
If the combat power of ordinary Yin Soul Spirits is 100, then their combat power may only be 5 or even 0.5, not to mention that their bodies are far weaker than other anomalous lifeforms, if an Inhuman or the same kind wants to get rid of them, it is really enough to breathe.
Spirits like them, who are weak and unmotivated and can't cultivate, from a certain point of view, they have no meaning in this world.
But he doesn't think so.
Although its true body is an old toad, it is undeniable that it has a compassion that most people do not necessarily have, and can dedicate part of its path to provide for these little ones...... This kind of seemingly meaningless thing cannot be done by ordinary abnormal beings, and it is difficult for even an alien cultivator among human beings to make such a self-sacrificing act.
Perhaps because of this, Shenyi will have the title of King of Dianshan in Yunnan Province, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a big demon who can really respond to every call in Yunnan Province, especially after the accident in Meishan, there are countless people of the same kind who rushed to Meishan and were willing to take the initiative to help Shenyi.
After the conflict between the Li family and Meishan, the abnormal life in the entire Yunnan Province was almost violent. If it weren't for the fact that Xianyi had come forward to speak out and strictly forbid other initiates to interfere, maybe Meishan would have been crowded with abnormal lives from all over Yunnan Province a few days ago!
"Master Xian is really a good person......" Chen Xian sighed with some emotion, his previous impression of Xian Yi was still at the level that the other party was his employer, but at this moment, he really admired it, at least what it did was enough to convince Chen Xian.
At the moment, the little ones are busy.
The two mountain babies were humming and humming the teapot to pour tea for Chen Xian, and for their palm-sized small bodies, it was not easy to lift a purple sand teapot.
There are seven or eight mountain babies around Chen Xian, and I don't know where they learned their skills, all of them are helping Chen Xian do massages in style, these two help Chen Xian massage his thighs, and those few climb on Chen Xian's back to help him pinch his shoulders, and after a few pinchings, he has to stop to take a breath, and the sound of humming and panting is even smaller than the voice of a kitten.
For this strange life that he had never seen before, Chen Xian couldn't help but be a little curious, and gently grabbed one with his hand and looked at it carefully, only to feel that this life form was too special, completely different from the spirits he had seen before, and he couldn't even feel any signs of particle energy flow in their bodies.......
was put in the palm of Chen Xian's palm, and the little guy didn't seem to resist too much, first rolled and struggled to get up, then raised his head and stared at Chen Xian, and made a chirping sound in his mouth, as if he was greeting.
"Hello......" Chen Xian carefully placed it on the palm of his hand, and gently poked it with his fingers, feeling like poking a ball of marshmallows, "Have you had dinner?" ”
For Chen Xian's way of greeting people who can talk to death, the little guy seems to like it quite a bit, and his face, which only has two balls of light as eyes, actually shows a rich expression.
The little guy (〃'▽'〃): "Chirp! ”
"Oh, that's eating." Chen Xian nodded, "How old are you?" ”
“.......”
Looking at the friendly exchange between Chen Xian and Shanying in front of him, the corners of Li Daosheng's mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and he secretly said in his heart that the old toad was definitely targeting himself, since he got into the sedan chair, it was like turning into air, no one paid attention to him, and no one looked at him....... Even those mountain babies are just circling around Chen, this is not aimed at anything!
"Why don't you let them reincarnate?" Li Daosheng suddenly asked, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, for him, no matter how compassionate and kind he was, he was an outlier after all, and he had nothing to do with Daoxing to support these meaningless mountain babies..... Could it be that there is something else?
"Reincarnation?" The paper figure outside the sedan chair was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "The master once asked for their opinions, but they didn't seem to understand, so the master wants to raise them a little more, and ask them when they are sensible, if they want to be reincarnated......"
"Isn't that a delay?" Li Daosheng frowned, "What's more, abnormal beings like them, who don't have much intelligence, are just like the bardo body after death, shouldn't they be sent directly to reincarnation according to common sense?" ”
"Reincarnated as an adult?" The paper man asked outside the car.
"Or else?" Li Daosheng asked strangely.
At this moment, Chen Xian, who had been immersed in communicating with the mountain baby, opened his mouth.
He first glanced up at Li Daosheng, and then slowly lowered his head, like teasing a kitten, teasing the mountain babies around him.
"What's so good about being reincarnated as an adult." Chen Xian muttered something in his mouth, as if he was complaining about something.
"Since ancient times, what human soul has not wanted to be reincarnated as an adult? Isn't it our job to send them to reincarnation? Li Daosheng couldn't help but ridicule him, and after being comprehensively suppressed and beaten by Chen Xian, his resentment towards Chen Xian was not ordinary.
"That's because your subjective consciousness is too strong, and you want people to reincarnate when you meet some spirits, it's really idle." Chen Xian said in a low voice, took the teapot from the hands of the two mountain babies, and slowly poured himself a cup, "What's so good about being a man." ”
As soon as he heard Chen Xian's answer, Li Daosheng couldn't help frowning, because he couldn't imagine that an official alien like Chen Xian, who was guarding the secret bureau, would say such a thing.
"Buddhism says that there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, unbelievable, and five yin blazing...... Although I don't really like the mantra of those monks who open their mouths and close their mouths to be compassionate, it is undeniable that their old ancestors summed it up quite well, and who can live a happy life in the world. ”
Chen Xian said softly, as if he was talking to himself, his eyes had never been on Li Daosheng, and the emotions he said in his mouth were not like what he should have realized at his age, but like an old man who was complaining about his life.
"In fact, modern people don't look like people anymore, including us aliens, like machines that are forced by some kind of rules to keep running...... What's more, ordinary people are worse than us, learning and struggling, working hard for their careers, having children, supporting their parents, all kinds of pressures have pushed human beings forward since birth, and they can't feel comfortable until they die of old age, which makes people now taste bad, just like the kind of diesel smell unique to machinery, and that kind of lifeless vitality is simply worse than abnormal life. ”
Li Daosheng frowned and wanted to say something, but he was silent again, a little puzzled why Chen Xian suddenly talked to him more, because he didn't seem to belong to the kind of person who was good at talking.
"It's better to be an ordinary person than to be a spirit in the mountains and forests, as a human being in this society, it's really not interesting, and you have to suffer a lot more than a spirit in your life." Chen Xian gently teased the little guys around him with his fingers, then raised his head to look at Li Daosheng and asked, "Do you know why I hate rigid aliens like you?" ”
Hate me?
Li Daosheng was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to scold the street, after all, saying this kind of thing in front of him really made him a little embarrassed.
"Whether the other person wants to or not, you always want to send someone to reincarnation." Chen Xian calmly looked at Li Daosheng's eyes, shook his head and said, "According to the regulations issued by the Secret Bureau a few years ago, abnormal lifeforms, especially spirit bodies, have the right to choose, if the other party is in a state of confusion, or in a state of no self-awareness, then you can't force the other party to reincarnate......"
"If you don't send it to reincarnation, then keep it for evil?" Li Daosheng asked rhetorically.
"We've got some of them on the lookout, and ..... Judging from the current situation, it seems that human beings in this world have done much more evil than abnormal life, right? Chen Xian said, his tone was as calm as ever, "Isn't it a bit unreasonable to forcibly send an abnormal life that has not done evil to reincarnate for the sake of safety?" ”
Li Daosheng sneered and didn't speak again.
"But it's normal for you to have this kind of thought, after all, this world is like this, it's hard to even have the right to take the initiative to end your own life, let alone choose whether to continue to be a human being in the next life......" Chen Xian said, for some reason looking at these innocent and harmless mountain babies suddenly talked more.
"That's not necessarily a human being, it's possible to be a pig or a dog." Li Daosheng sneered, "Maybe I will be reincarnated as an animal in the next life?" ”
"When an animal is abnormal, how can it be an abnormal life, at least it won't be eaten casually, right?" Chen Xian asked rhetorically, "Since you have the opportunity to choose to continue to be an abnormal life...... Isn't it a bit unkind for you to send someone to reincarnate if you have nothing to do? ”
Li Daosheng glanced at Chen Xian and didn't talk to him.
"Little Brother Chen can see it clearly, according to the master's words, you have a wisdom root." The paper man outside the sedan car suddenly laughed, and there was an inexplicable meaning between his words.
"It's okay." Chen Xian touched his nose, and seemed a little embarrassed after being praised, "I just feel really tired of being a human being, it's good that these little guys are alive like this, there is no need to send them to reincarnation, and according to their way of death..... Nine times out of ten in the next life, I will continue to be a man. ”
"How do you know they don't want to be human?" Li Daosheng asked.
"They're doing well so carefree, and they're not fishing?" Chen Xian asked rhetorically.
"The son is not me, and I know that I don't know the joy of fish?" Li Daosheng sneered.
Chen Xian didn't say a word, stared at Li Daosheng without saying a word, and it took a long time before he spoke.
"If you raise the bar with me again, I will use your sword to show you the quintessence of the country, do you believe it?"
“.......”
Li Daosheng was frightened, but he also felt aggrieved, but it didn't seem to be a joke to see Chen Xian like this, so he didn't dare to continue to dwell on this topic, but instead began to test Chen Xian's bottom line.
"I don't think you're a little misanthropic." Li Daosheng asked malicefully, "Are you not living a satisfactory life?" ”
"It's okay, it's better than you, at least I feel good when I beat you up in front." Chen Xian replied quietly.
Li Daosheng's face turned red, Chen Xian's words were so lethal that he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide.
Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding.
Chen Xian's words with a gun and a stick mocked...... Li Daosheng has the heart to kill him!
Just as Li Daosheng wanted to stiffen his mouth and go back again, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and the paper man who was leading the way outside also opened his mouth at this time.
"Little Brother Chen, let's go to the master's cave."
