Chapter Twenty-Four: Wronged Souls
As the saying goes, hit the snake and hit the seven inches, catch the snake and pinch the mouth, this seven inch position is the weakness of the snake, and it is also the key point, so the snake is generally killed by the snake's seven inches, and the snake is different, it is often pinched under the snake's mouth, so the purpose is to control the snake's head to prevent it from biting in turn.
Under the carelessness of the young lady, she was pinched by the knife man, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape.
The man with the knife looked at me at this time, as if he was thinking under the mask, and suddenly shook off the young lady and rushed over at a very fast speed.
When I saw him coming, I was so frightened that I couldn't react when I stood still, and when he came to him, it was too late to run.
He was choked by his neck on the spot, and without waiting for a struggle, he was directly lifted up, his feet were hung in the air with his feet off the ground, and a cold voice came from his ears: "Who are you?" ”
His voice sounded extremely cold, without even a trace of emotion or ups and downs, as if he was just asking a question, and the sentence did not have a questioning tone.
I was pinched by his neck and lifted in the air, the whole person couldn't breathe at all, my throat was extremely uncomfortable, it was like it was blocked, desperately trying to break free, but this hand was like an iron tong, clasped tightly, no matter how I struggled, I couldn't move, even if I wanted to tell him who I was, I couldn't speak.
"Let him go!" Just as I was about to pass out when I felt dizzy and black, my brother suddenly appeared behind him with a rock, roared, and slammed it on the head.
It was too late, and the man with the knife felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he immediately let go of me, and at the same time turned his body back, and before he could see what was going on, he found that he had gone around my brother's back, dodged the stone, raised his leg and kicked my brother in the back, and my brother staggered forward and fell forward.
I fell from mid-air and sat on the ground, my throat hurt so much, I coughed non-stop, my brother crawled over and said urgently: "Tu poor, how are you?" Are there any injuries? You okay? ”
I rubbed my neck and shook my head desperately, coughing constantly, and when I raised my eyes, I saw the person with the knife pulling out the bloody knife from the wall, looking at the two of us, and said in a cold tone: "The last chance, who are you?" ”
"Tu Poor, you take Brother Liu and leave! I dragged him down! My brother stared at the man with a solemn face.
"Brother, you can't beat him! Let's go! ”
"No one can walk away together! Let you go! Where is so much nonsense! My brother was angry and pushed me hard.
Liu Kuaikou was afraid and anxious next to him, he couldn't wait to fly out directly with wings now, and when he saw that the two of us were arguing, he interjected anxiously: "Ouch! You brothers don't earn it! Brother Tu, just listen to your brother, let's go first! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave after a while! ”
"You can go, I won't kill you!" As we spoke, the man with the knife on credit suddenly said: "My man with a knife on credit has always been obedient to the rules, and he does not kill innocent people under the knife, you two can go, but he must stay." ”
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Liu Kuaikou with a knife, and this finger frightened Liu Kuaikou to sit on the ground on the spot, and hurriedly hugged the two of us and cried bitterly: "Oh Tu brother, don't listen to him, you can't go!" If you're gone, my life will be settled! Let's go back together, Brother Liu treats you well, you can't leave me alone! ”
"Don't cry! We didn't say go! My brother pushed him away in disgust, stared at the knife man and asked, "You want to kill him, it's not impossible, but since you say that you have always obeyed the rules, there must be a reason to kill, right?" ”
"There's a ghost in him." The man with the knife said suddenly: "It's just that people can't see it." ”
"And how do you see that?" My brother continued to question.
"I can't see it, but this knife can." He shook the blood-tipped knife in his hand.
"Fart! The knife has no eyes! My brother scolded back directly: "I think you just want to make money and kill yourself!" Covet our Brother Liu's money! ”
This credit knife man was scolded by my brother for a few words, but he didn't refute it, nor did he get angry, his tone was still unhurried and calm: "It's pointless to argue about this, I have given you a chance, whether to go or stay, time is limited, choose yourself." ”
My brother's eyes were full of uneasiness, and Liu Kuaikou and I stood behind him, and I didn't know what to do, so I heard my brother shout: "Qingniang! Kill him! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the green snake outside the stone platform: "The person with the knife on credit, you can't kill it, and you can't kill it." ”
"What?!" My brother and I were both stunned when we heard this: "Why? ”
"These people, to put it bluntly, are all messengers of the underworld, as a snake, I still want to be reincarnated as an adult when I die!" The lover said in a slow and leisurely tone, as if curiosity was irrelevant: "I advise you two brothers, don't go against them, the animal tamer and the knife man are incomparable." And they never kill well, the problem is not with him, but with yours as a friend! ”
Saying that, we all looked at Liu Kuaikou, the people present at the moment, except for me and my brother who could understand Qingniang's words, no one else could understand, Liu Kuaikou saw the two of us looking at him, and he didn't know what was going on, and he kept urging us to leave quickly.
On the contrary, it was the credit knife man on the side, whose tone rarely fluctuated, looked at us suspiciously, and said as if curious: "Can you talk to snakes, are you beast tamers?" ”
My brother didn't respond, just looked at him with unkind eyes,
When he saw that we didn't speak, he acquiesced, as if he sighed, and said, "I thought that by now, even the beast taming faction has died out, but now it seems that you are just hiding." ”
"The beast taming faction and the credit knife man had a deep friendship in the past, although it was a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet today, this may be the fate of the two." He looked at us and said, "Looking at the appearance of the two of you, you are still childish, your heart is not familiar, and there are few beasts around. ”
"The beast taming faction and what we do are the same, so I don't care about today's things, but the ghost on his body, because of the excessive ferocity, has turned from a soul into a 'grudge', remember to remember, if you want to save your friend, this grudge must be destroyed!"
As he spoke, he took a knife from his waist and handed it over, saying, "This knife can identify ghosts, and when the blade is black, it is complaining, and when the blade is white, it is clean." ”
We were a little dazed after hearing this, I didn't understand what he meant, standing in place, no one took the knife in his hand for a while, or under the reminder of the young lady, my brother hesitated to go over, half-believing took the knife, wrapped the cloth and looked at it, and saw a layer of black gas floating on the knife, and the blade was extremely black, like ink.
“... You mean, there really are ghosts in this world? "My brother was holding the pitch-black knife, and suddenly he looked up at the man with the knife, and his eyes were invisible.
"There are many categories of ghosts, but their original bodies are all 'souls', and not all souls are called ghosts." He looked at us and explained: "The living are divided into good and evil, and the soul is still there after death, and there is also good and evil, and after death, the initial stage is the soul, and the soul will carry the residual thoughts of life, and this residual thoughts are good and bad, the good is the wish to be fulfilled before death, and the expectation is to complete it after death, but the bad is the resentment." ”
"If a person is framed in life, then he will inevitably bring resentment after death, and if this resentment is not properly handled, it will increase day by day, and the deeper the resentment, the more the soul will deteriorate, and finally it will turn into 'resentment', and begin to harm others, through harming others, the accumulated resentment will increase more and more, and finally it will become a ghost."
"When a soul becomes a 'grudge', and gradually harms people and becomes a ghost, it is difficult to deal with it, and it is difficult to rescue it, your friend is possessed by a 'grudge', and there is no better way to kill him, and even if we don't kill him, this 'grudge' will kill him sooner or later."
"You've said so much, I only have one question, if a person dies and comes back to life, is he a ghost?" My brother looked at him, and when he asked this sentence, his voice trembled, as if he was waiting for an answer.
At that moment, my heart began to beat violently, and the scene from eight years ago kept flashing in my mind - under the heavy rain, my father was covered in dirt and his eyes rolled under the courtyard shed, that terrifying appearance, I will never forget in my life.
