Chapter Thirty-Eight: Semi-Finished Instruments

Jiang is still old and spicy, and I still wonder if even Meng Po said that this thing can't be used in the Ten Palaces of Yama; How could Chenghuang let black and white impermanence take the lead? As a result, the three of them collected the ghost qi for me, compressed and refined the ghost qi, and then gathered it on me; Then I will input the ghost qi into the one-strand pestle.

The three of them kept compressing and refining the ghost qi, which was as rich as splashing ink; Rao is like this, and it took a long time to reach saturation. Looking at this pitch-black one-strand pestle, I don't know how to use it at all.

At this moment, Black and White Impermanence reached out and summoned the spirit banner and chain, surrounding me in the middle. The most peculiar thing is that the city god also reached out to summon a red spirit flag:

"Now I'll teach you some mantras." As he spoke, he closed his eyes. The incantation he was chanting began to ring in my head, and it was a long and complicated one. He can only read a paragraph, and I can read a paragraph.

Half an hour later, I opened my eyes. The surrounding circle had been removed by the city god and impermanence, and I was sitting on the ground with a pitch-black one-strand pestle in front of me. Originally made of steel silver, it has now turned black due to the erosion of ghostly energy. Holding this one-strand pestle, it seems that the weight has not changed. Suddenly I thought of a little, and then let go; Let it fall freely.

"Bang!"

A hole the size of a basin was smashed into the ground. Don't talk about me this time, even the few people present who have seen the world can't help but raise their eyebrows. I was ecstatic and reached in to pick it up, and now it was my turn to be dumbfounded: it had faded?

"Boy, you're a fake, aren't you?" Black Impermanence cried out first. Bai Wuchang squinted at the lone pestle:

"It doesn't make sense, Master Jingjian is not bad; He's not going to come to entertain you as an offspring. ”

I............ It's completely irrefutable, even if it's a bad one, it's really an afterlife. We could only look at Lord Chenghuang for help, and in the middle of that time, the old man picked up the pestle and looked at the small words that appeared on it. But these small characters are also slowly disappearing, and when Chenghuang handed me the pestle, they disappeared just as they happened.

"It's a spell." For a long time, Chenghuang said these words. On the other side, we were just staring at him, and only he knew about it.

"Master Jingjian cast a spell on you when he gave it, and this thing can't contain Buddha power, and naturally it can't store ghost energy; But if your ghost energy can merge into it, you should have recognized the Lord. Speaking of this, Chenghuang looked at the black and white impermanence and motioned for him to go out first. This was quite unexpected, and it stands to reason that black and white impermanence was much closer to him than I was to him. Now he's taking the two of them......

"Chen Rui, do you know why he gave you this?" After watching the two of you go out, Chenghuang suddenly called my name. I don't believe that the old man really came to make amends; There must be something else.

"I don't know, please answer the doubts."

"He's told me before; The reason why he asked you to give you the magic weapon is the same reason that Yin Si is looking for you. You try to live, but you want to die. But it is such a person, but he has saved countless ghosts and ghosts in my secluded underworld. As far as we are concerned, a number of Chenghuang have jointly petitioned you to have this official position. I thought it was just a blessing, after all, being bad is the most direct way for us to repay you. But the yin division is not as good as the yang organization, and if you want to correspond to good fortune, you need to take office to do things. We have also observed you for a long time, and the general ghost is not suitable for the living; The judge's word is full; And you're not fit to be a judge. In the same way, it is not suitable for you to go to the temple to eat fasting and pray Buddha. Moreover, compared to the temple; You're more familiar with the secluded underworld. Venerable Pure Seeing said that you have a compassionate heart; Others can see the horror of ghosts, but you can see the misery of ghosts. "The old man didn't care if I could digest it or not, and said so much in one breath. When I was stunned, Chenghuang also told me that there were many things and people to see in the coming days.

So Master Jingjian thinks so much about me? No wonder he didn't come for me to eat and pray for the Buddha. Chenghuang has said so much today, and it is estimated that it will be enough for me to digest it for a long time. I took this half-refined magic weapon back to the yang world, packed up the shop and drove home.

After tossing in the underworld for so long, it only took one day to return to the yang world. I lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa, looking at the one-strand pestle on the coffee table, and my mind was full of words from Chenghuang.

"You try to live, but you want to die."

When did I start to want to die? Is it after the earthquake? It doesn't seem to be. It seems that I had a desire to die long before this. What exactly? I can't remember it for a while, it seems that I have already rubbed the edges; But I just got stuck there and couldn't remember it.

It seems to have started since I started painting these gods and ghosts, and my first painting of this subject was ten years ago. As a Chinese, these things have always been taboo in traditional Chinese culture. Evil, negative, negative...... But I don't know when I became obsessed with them. There was a time when I even felt like I was alone in my family, and it all happened before I became a shadow.
