Chapter 2 The future is uncertain
"Huh! Boom! ...... The little ghost who hurt me wants to leave like this, it's a bit too child's play, right? Boom! Boom! ......"
At this moment, a strange laughter sounded out of thin air around him, and the Heavenly Fire Reincarnation Mirror also shattered in this laughter.
The moon also hid in the thick clouds at some point, and a trace of black mist slowly dispersed, as if it was constantly winding around the old man's body like life.
"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost! Laughing like a eunuch, you didn't bring a handle? I think it's better to avoid such a foolish thing! The old man's sleeves flicked, and the black mist seemed to melt.
"Poof" There was a sound of falling in the distance. "You are an old immortal, you are angry with me, and I am a ghost and a ghost will also be humiliated by you?" A ghost creature wearing black armor, holding a silver-faced ghost-headed knife and blue-faced fangs floated out of the shadows.
"What the hell are you? How can hell have you as a person? I have also been in and out of the Yin and Yang worlds for many years, and most of the ghosts in hell can be familiar with me, so I am not as frustrated as you. The old man asked suspiciously.
"You ......" the blue-faced ghost general gave the old man a fierce look, "I don't know as much as you, the hell ghost will be a fart, no, it's not even as good as a fart, black and white impermanence comes to me, I have to call me grandpa." Why am I talking so much nonsense to you, I must detain this person's soul today, if you stop it again, don't blame my ghost head knife to knock you into the dust! ”
The old man glanced at the blue-faced ghost general with disdain, reached out and took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his arms and said, "I wonder if this thing can make you talk a few more nonsense?" ”
"Cough, cough, eh, why is Brother Ren so outside? Brother Ren's appearance of a fairy wind and bones made my little brother and I feel familiar at first sight, and I suddenly had the idea of making friends. The previous attitude was just a joke with Brother Ren. But Brother Ren still didn't care, and gave the little brother this generous gift, Brother Ren was elegant, and the little brother was embarrassed. The blue-faced ghost will put away the ghost head knife, squeeze out a smile that is more ugly than crying, and salute with fists.
The old man also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and after a while, the two of them grew up as hot as if they were wearing an open crotch pants. Naturally, the old man learned some secrets from the blue-faced ghost general.
It turns out that this blue-faced ghost general is indeed not from hell.
In the concept of ordinary people, heaven and earth are divided into three worlds: the fairy world, the human world, and hell, commonly known as the three worlds of heaven, earth, and man. But in fact, the heavens and the earth are vast, and the Three Realms are only an insignificant part of it.
It is said that one day, above the palace of the Hell Hades, there is a white-clothed scholar, whose eyes are like gods, his face is like congealed fat, his lips are like pink, his hands are cranked with green silk fans, and his feet are stepping on plain dragon pattern boots. But it is precisely because of the advent of this scholar that many ghosts who have fallen after listening to it outside the palace of Hades have disappeared without warning, and there is no possibility of reincarnation.
The king of the Ten Palaces was furious, and at first he chose to fight alone because of his face, but he didn't think that he would be the general of this scholar, so he chose to beat it in a group with a thick skin, but as a result, he was still beaten. Helplessly, the ten halls of Yama had to recite the Dharma name in unison and invite the old earth king Bodhisattva to be the master.
As soon as the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth came, he did not rashly make a move, pondered for a while, and then isolated everyone and invited the scholar into the palace of the king of Hades for a secret talk. The result of the secret talk was even more surprising, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth allowed the scholar to form his own realm above the hell, called the Qitian Dharma Realm, and the scholar proclaimed himself the Dharma King of Qitian, and the source of all beings in the Dharma Realm was like hell, and they were all people who were nearing the end of their lives. However, the Qitian Dharma Realm does not detain all ghosts, but specifically selects those souls that are from yin to yang.
The composition of the entire Qitian Dharma Realm is relatively simple, and it is not like hell that there are ten major halls, but only four halls, namely the Yin Temple, the Yang Palace, the Good and Evil Palace, and the Reincarnation Palace. Each hall has a hall master, and under the hall master is the ghost general. And the blue-faced ghost general is one of them, specializing in the southern soul detention. The detained souls are handed over to the temple of good and evil to judge the good and evil in the world, and the evil have no other way, and are tortured in every way to atone for the sins of the past life; Those who are willing can go to the Yin Hall or Yang Hall according to their own Yin and Yang, and those who are unwilling can be sent to the Hall of Reincarnation to be reincarnated.
This blue-faced ghost will be selected and promoted from the souls of all living beings, so it is unknown where the scholar came from. Lin Xiao is the most yin person, and today's yang life is over, so the blue-faced ghost will come to detain him.
After hearing this, the old man nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled: "Brother Xian has been talking for so long, I still don't know Brother Xian's name, it's really disrespectful." Contemptible people call a person, he is a person who walks the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know ...... virtuous brother? ”
"Brother is humble, your skill just now is not something that an ordinary person can show. If you and I really make a move, I don't have the slightest certainty about the outcome or defeat. In my previous life, I was a small official in the Yamen of Pengcheng County at the end of the Tang Dynasty, surnamed Zhang, whose name was originally from the beginning, and was killed by thieves during the turmoil at the end of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that the past doesn't make much sense. The blue-faced ghost will remember the past and look lonely, but then he sees the old man's movements, and his face is immediately bright again.
I saw that the old man raised his hand and threw the hundred-yuan bill into the air, and with the old man's low drink, the banknote instantly burned to ashes: "Give it to the original brother." ”
"Brother, I still have something to discuss with you, I wonder if you can make it convenient?"
"Brother said, as long as I can do it, I will do it." Zhang Benchu counted the banknotes in his hand, and did not raise his head to answer,
The old man pointed to Lin Xiao, who was fainting on the ground, and said: "This child has some fate with me, I know that people have their own lives, and it is a bit too much to make this request, but can the elder brother think of some way to save this child's life?" ”
Zhang Benchu looked embarrassed: "Brother, as the saying goes: the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch?" Besides, my family is still a lord who can't even bear Hades. As the saying goes, life and death have fate, and wealth is in the sky. Changing one's life against the sky is not something that a little person like me can decide? Besides, even if I let that kid go, there will still be other ghosts who will take him into custody in the future. ”
"Brother, I understand your difficulties. Although your Aqitian Law Realm is similar to Hell, after all, it does not have a long inheritance like Hell, so there should be some loopholes. Brother, you help, think about it carefully, is there any way to save his life and not embarrass you? When the time comes, I will be thankful, brother! The old man said sincerely.
Zhang Benchu stopped talking, his brows were deeply locked, and he tried his best to find a way to think of it.
"Hey, there is, but this method is also a palliative rather than a cure."
"Tell me about it. It's better to have a way than not to have it! ”
"When I was looking through some ancient books in the Qitian Dharma Realm before, I saw a method of reshaping the soul, called the Dafa of Soul Extraction. In principle, this is a kind of practice in which yin harms people. It can extract ninety percent of the soul power of a living person to recreate a new soul for the caster to drive, and the person who has been robbed of the soul power has no feeling at the time, but only has two years left to live. Two years later, even if Da Luo Jin Immortal came in person, he would definitely not be able to return to the sky, and he would not enter reincarnation after death, and would fall into darkness forever! Brother, the idea is still up to you. I know how to do it. But if you want me to say, it is better to be reincarnated earlier if you keep this stinky skin in this world for two years. Everyone dies once, and it is better to die happily than to struggle to live. Life is impermanent, and there will be an end to it! Zhang Benchu patted the old man's back and said.
The old man didn't answer, he looked up and looked into the distance in a daze, and suddenly, he asked, "What if I can restore his soul power within two years?" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Benchu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted madly: "Old man, are you crazy? What about nonsense? How can it be? ”
The old man didn't care about Zhang Benchu's attitude, he knew that Zhang Benchu at this time was really helping himself.
People often say that ghosts are terrible, but as everyone knows, most ghosts, like some animals, are very profitable, but if you treat them sincerely, he will also treat you sincerely. This truth is common among all things in this world, but for some reason, there are many more deceptions in people's hearts!
The old man's efforts to help Lin Xiao today were actually vaguely seen in Lin Xiao when he was young. People live in the world, sometimes they want to be good to a person inexplicably, and fate is so unpredictable.
The old man turned around and said with some emotion: "Brother, I believe in this fate, since I have decided to help this child, I will do my best to ensure the destiny of heaven." Regardless of whether his soul power can be restored in the future, it is his creation. Giving him two years to live just gives him a chance. Dude, please! ”
"Brother said so, then I'll help you this time." Zhang Benchu shook his head and sighed.
At this time, Lin Xiao seemed to be in a terrible dream, he kept running in a dim world, and some ghosts and ghosts were chasing after him with their teeth and claws.
Lin Xiao has an urge to hit tofu to death, what is this called? I want to eat a bowl of noodles, okay, let that lewd old man mix it up. Hell me alive! Hey? Didn't I faint? How in this place? There's a whole bunch of that stuff in the back. What about the dead old man? Why didn't you come to my rescue? The god stick is so fucking unreliable!
Lin Xiao took out a one-yuan note from his body in a panic, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Chairman Mao save me!! ”
"Bang!" Lin Xiaoyi hit a big tree without paying attention, and his face was covered with tears and snot. Finished! This time it must be the hen that drills the stove pit - if it doesn't die, it will shed its skin.
Anyway, when you go to this field, you can't resist, so enjoy it! Lin Xiao closed his eyes and lay down on the ground, but he also had the style of being depressed and cold, and the strong man was gone. But after waiting for a long time and not moving, does the ghost also have a conscience?
Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed a small slit, "Oh, Mom, what the hell?" The green-faced and fanged ghost in front of him was so frightened that Lin Xiao's legs kicked straight back, and the "bang" head and the tree trunk behind him came into close contact again. This collision knocked out the evil fire of Lin Xiao's body.
Grandma's, the tiger is not threatening when I am a sick cat, but I am also standing with a handle to pee, people are dead and birds are facing the sky, I am afraid of a ball. Thinking of this, Lin Xiao jumped up, patted his buttocks, pointed at Zhang Benchu and shouted, "Come on!" If you want to kill or chop, listen to the respect, my eyebrows don't tremble! ”
Zhang Benchu stared at Lin Xiao without saying a word, and his terrible gaze completely extinguished Lin Xiao's pride in less than three seconds. Lin Xiao's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground again.
Zhang Benchu asked: "Your longevity is about to end, and today I am here to take you away." In other words, you're dead now. Let me ask you a question, do you want to live for two more years and never be reborn, or do you want to die now and go to reincarnation with me? ”
When Lin Xiao heard this, he calmed down inexplicably. He subconsciously felt that this ghost was asking himself a very serious question.
"I don't know why you ask? If that's what you say, give me two more years, right? There was firmness in Lin Xiao's eyes.
"Do you understand what it means to never be reincarnated?" Zhang Benchu was a little surprised.
"To be honest, I'm not greedy for life. It's sometimes easier to die than to live. I grew up in the countryside, and when I grew up, I came to the city with pride, and I once fantasized that I could change my destiny through reading, but the beauty I longed for was so vulnerable in the face of reality. Since graduating from college, I have struggled to find a job to support my family. Thinking about it in the dead of night, I can't wait to stab myself. But can I just give up? No! Because if a child bears ten times the hardships of life, then his parents must have a hundred times the hardships on their shoulders. Not to mention that there are still two years to go, even if I am only given a day or even an hour, I am willing to use my eternal life without reincarnation. Because I want to save my last time to my parents, even if it is worth it even if I can only repay them for one-ten-millionth of their nurturing grace! Lin Xiao said that he suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, and he was homesick.
Zhang Benchu didn't speak again, he looked at Lin Xiao, with appreciation and sympathy; Lin Xiao also looked at him, there was no fear, only calmness. Gradually, Lin Xiao's eyes began to twist, and a sudden tearing sensation in his brain made him faint again.
Zhang Benchu arched his hand at the old man and said, "Brother, the matter has been completed." It's time for me to go, this kid is a good boy, it's a pity. There will be a period later! As he spoke, he put the life-killing shackles on the soul that had the appearance of Lin Xiao beside him, and disappeared.
