Chapter 14: Soul Hooking

Subconsciously, I didn't believe what my mother said, because it was unacceptable, and it was too fantastic.

But the experience of the past few days has made me have to believe it.

The Taoist priest of the Evergreen Temple, the snake, the female ghost resenting the baby, the mountain god Niangniang, and the grandfather who is the mountain keeper, these days I have come into contact with a world that I couldn't touch before.

I'm a little confused, people always have times when they're confused, I don't know if Lin Jingmei likes me or the life of the person I borrowed.

From the very beginning of my proposal to her, I was apprehensive to accepting, and now I am struggling with this relationship.

Precisely, self-esteem is at work.

I am not willing to be manipulated by fate, and I can't accept it.

But I can't blame anyone, my parents? They are not wrong, people always have to go through birth, old age, sickness and death in their lives. My dad wants to save my mom and give up my life, it's not wrong, that's his choice.

Blame grandpa, he is even more wrong, if it weren't for him, I would have disappeared today when I was born twenty-five years ago, and it was he who gave me my life and let me come into this world.

But who am I?

My current state is as painful as a split personality, confused, helpless, and overwhelmed.

When you've lived for 25 years, and at the end of the day you know that your life isn't your own, it's a really uncaring feeling.

I want to see the old man, and I have a lot to ask him.

But he disappeared and no one knows where he went.

Since he called me back, let me marry a mountain god Niangniang I didn't know, get rid of the female ghost Huixian with an axe, and become his heir to protect Heavenly Mountain.

Although I don't adapt to all this, I try to do it and grow.

When I drove the oil raft and the snake in the water, and at the end of my life, I still felt proud that I had lived up to his expectations.

I listened carefully to every word he said, and although I was sometimes confused, I was sure that he was my guiding light, and that one day he would tell me everything.

With him, whether it is facing ghosts or gods, or spirits, even in the face of life and death, his heart is full of courage.

But I can't accept the fact that my life is not my own!

A person's psychological capacity is limited, and now I have reached a critical point, and I am even on the verge of collapse.

I trembled and reached out to take the tablet on the table, trying my best to restrain my emotions, not wanting to show it in front of my mother.

But what if the child's heart can be hidden in front of the mother?

The moment she reached out and held me tightly in her arms, I was completely devastated. Kneeling on the ground like a helpless child, holding her legs and crying.

I always thought that the cruel society had honed itself to the point of invulnerability, and that no matter how big it was, it could be laughed off.

But I was wrong, my heart is fragile, especially in front of those closest to me.

I don't know how long I cried, but a warm and powerful palm was placed on my shoulder and lifted me up from the ground.

Dad didn't know when he came back, half of his hair was white, and there were crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, don't think too much, go and rest early."

Dad doesn't usually comfort people, but looking at his kind eyes, my heart gradually settled down and nodded.

took Lin Jingmei's tablet back to the room, and her mood was not completely calm. The door suddenly opened, and Yan Xiaoying stumbled in.

She didn't know when she woke up, her face turned pale, and after rushing in, she pulled me out of the door: "Hurry up, you are in danger." ”

She said something that I felt inexplicable, and I was worried that her injuries would not be able to resist, so I followed her out of the room.

When I came to the courtyard, I happened to see my father and mother fainting in the hall.

I was startled and was about to go over to investigate the situation, but Yan Xiaoying made a silent gesture to me, hid behind a pile of dry wood and pointed in the direction of the hall.

I looked intently in the direction she was pointing, and was shocked again. In the dim light, I saw that there were two more people in the hall.

One was dressed in black, the other in white, and their bodies were as slender as dry wood, and each held a black chain in his hand. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and there was a mysterious fog shrouded in them.

I don't know why looking at the two people in the hall, I felt like my whole mind was being pulled away.

"Lao Tianyan, come quickly!"

"Lao Tianyan, come quickly!"

What's even more terrifying is that these two uninvited guests are actually calling my name, and the ethereal voice seems to have a strange magic, which makes me want to go out involuntarily.

Syllable!

I was slapped on the back of the head, and I came back to my senses and looked at Yan Xiaoying.

"Don't be fooled by this voice, they are black and white, and they come to kill people."

"Black and white impermanence?"

I couldn't believe it and asked in a low voice, "Why did they suddenly visit my house?" ”

Yan Xiaoying shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but they should have come to you this time." Don't worry, your parents are fine, they just fell asleep, even black and white impermanence can't hurt innocent lives at will, let's go quickly. ”

Black and white impermanence is the messenger of the soul of the underworld, which is not visible to ordinary people, and before they enter the house to hook people's souls, they usually make the rest of the unrelated people fall asleep.

I used to hear my cousin tell me that he had been by his grandfather's side the night he died of a serious illness, and there was a time when he suddenly became lethargic. In a daze, he heard his grandfather muttering to himself that they were coming, and by the time he came to his senses, he was already gone.

Yan Xiaoying took me and sneaked away from the back of the courtyard.

"Why are they looking for me?" I asked Yan Xiaoying in confusion.

"Don't worry about it for now, it's not good to be found by them anyway, hurry up!"

"Where to go?"

"Go to my house, Grandma should have a way to send them away."

When Yan Xiaoying and I hurried out of the village, we happened to see a middle-aged man in a black uniform wandering outside the village.

When I saw the man's face, I couldn't help but be startled.

This person was the same "ghost" I met when I went to Granny Yan's coffin shop before, and he had asked me about the old man's news.

When he saw me and Yan Xiaoying rushing out of the village in a hurry, he was slightly stunned, and he was about to come over to say hello.

"Hurry up, this person is the Patrol Judge of the Sun Realm, and he is even more terrifying than the black and white impermanence."

Yan Xiaoying pulled me away in a hurry, ignoring the man in black, she was injured, and finally I helped her back to the coffin shop.

Walking into the coffin shop, Yan Xiaoying pulled me into a room and closed the door.

The lights were not turned on, and the two hid in the corner, panting.

"Bang bang!"

The other party came faster than we expected, and within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door outside the coffin.

"Who? Knock on the door in the middle of the night! ”

After a while, Old Lady Yan's voice sounded in the courtyard, she might have been resting just now. At this time, he was woken up by a knock on the door, and he was obviously unhappy.

"Yin Si Black and White Impermanence was ordered to arrest Lao Tianyan and go back for interrogation, please open the door." A gloomy voice sounded outside the door.

"Bullshit, I don't have a person surnamed Lao here, get out of here, don't disturb the old woman's sleep."

When I heard Granny Yan's answer, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up in the dark, and I was so impressed in my heart that I fell to the ground. Dare to talk to black and white impermanence like this, this mother-in-law is really powerful.

The black and white impermanence outside the door obviously hesitated, and only after a moment did he say again: "Judge Patrol said that he saw them running this way just now, and please open the door for us to go in and search." ”

"If you say no, you don't, and if you have the courage to break in. Trespassing on a private house is a big crime, and the old woman said that she had to go to the City God Temple to file a complaint. Old Lady Yan snorted coldly.

Then, I heard the black and white whispers outside the door, and a moment later, the footsteps were far away, and I was leaving.

I was shocked in my heart, and looked at Yan Xiaoying with some disbelief: "They left like this?" ”

"How else? There are rules in the world, and there are rules in the underworld. They can arrest people, but they can't break into other houses at will, if it's ordinary people, it's okay to say, they can't see them. But as yin people, we have our own way of seeing. Yan Xiaoying smiled lightly.

I couldn't see her clearly in the dark, but I could hear something unnatural about her.

"Did the wound flare up?"

As I spoke, I lifted her up when the door opened and the light clicked on.

Under the bright light, I saw Mrs. Yan standing outside the door, looking at me with a gloomy face, that kind of look made my heart furious, and reflexively let go of Yan Xiaoying.

Yan Xiaoying didn't have my support, and sat staggered to the ground.

"Get out!"

In a cold and merciless voice, Old Lady Yan glared at me viciously.

"Grandma, he'......"

"Shut up, who told you to bring him back? As I said, people with the surname Lao are not welcome here, so get out of here. Next time you dare to appear here, don't blame the old woman for breaking your legs. Old Lady Yan's eyes were cold, not like a joke.

I looked embarrassed and looked at Yan Xiaoying.

The latter was also looking at me, pale and helpless.

"Thank you mother-in-law for saving my life, I'm leaving."

I didn't dare to stay long, looking at the fierce eyes of Old Lady Yan, if I stayed here, maybe I would really break my legs.

Besides, I don't want Yan Xiaoying to be difficult.

Leaving the coffin shop, I let out a long sigh and suddenly felt that the world was so big that there was no place for it.

With black and white impermanence and the judge patrolling the sun, I can't go back to home.

At this time, there were still four or five hours before dawn, and I thought about it and decided to go back to Heaven Mountain first and wait for Lin Jingmei to come out.

There are some things that I have to ask in person.

Winter nights are bitterly cold and windy.

The blades of grass on both sides of the mountain road were frosty, and about halfway through, I couldn't hold on, mainly because my injuries were too serious to walk again.

Find a stone cave nearby, look for dead branches, and start a bonfire.

Sitting next to the campfire, he was stunned, and soon after he fell asleep.

The cold wind was sluggish, and I slept very uncomfortably.

The next morning, I was woken up by a rapid phone ringing, it was a call from my parents, and they asked me where I went with Yan Xiaoying last night? Why don't you leave without making a sound?

I couldn't tell them the truth, and I told Yan Xiaoying that she would go back to the coffin shop when she said anything last night, so I persuaded her not to listen, so I had to send her back.

My parents didn't ask much about it, but told me that they had already thought about it, and asked me to take the mountain god Niangniang home to show them, and by the way, ask her what she wanted, and if there was no problem, they would choose a day to get married.

I said yes and hung up.

I slept in the cave last night, maybe I had a cold, and my body was very uncomfortable.

I finally returned to the reservoir embankment, and when I entered the house, I only felt that the world was spinning and my head was heavy. barely managed to cook a bowl of somen noodles to satisfy his hunger, and fell asleep on the bed.

I slept until the afternoon and began to have a high fever, and I answered another phone call in a daze, I don't know who called, and I hung up after a few answers.

This continued until it was dark and a person appeared in my room......
