Chapter 370: The Animal's Shell

"So where is it better to leave your body? What if the soul can't find its body when it comes back? I asked.

Speaking of this question, I suddenly thought that there was such a clip in Journey to the West, where a goblin disguised as a Taoist priest fought with Sun Wukong and left his body on the altar, but his head was taken away by a dog and he couldn't find it.

There is also such a plot in an old movie, a person who is not right-minded and learns the Fa leaves his body in the Dharma Hall, and his soul flies to the room of a beautiful young woman, wanting to do something wrong to her, but it is discovered by two apprentices of the protagonist, and one of the apprentices wants to hide his body, but a wild dog rushes out halfway and bites his body to pieces, and of course his soul can't go back.

"You have a lot of questions, we go to the pet store now, our body is the safest place in the pet store." Jiahui said.

"Are you sure? Don't blame me for being verbose, it's just that so much has happened during this time, and I feel like my head is pinned to the waistband of my pants every day, and I don't know when it will fall off. I said.

"I also know that you will be afraid, but I and the old beggar are here to be your supporters, and the sky is falling and there are two of us on top, so you can put your head on your neck in peace." Jiahui said.

"That's right, his pet shop is not an ordinary place, surrounded by yin and righteous qi, ordinary ghosts don't dare to do evil in it, unless it is a powerful ghost with a high Taoism." The old beggar said.

"You haven't been to his pet shop, how do you know what qi blessings are there?" I asked.

"Yin and righteous qi." The old beggar corrected me.

According to him, there is righteousness in the yang world, and there is also righteousness in the underworld, and the place where the yang qi is heaviest is the court, the police station and the like, where integrity and fairness are represented, and if you can stay in it for a long time, there will naturally be a strong yang qi on your body, and no ghost will dare to approach it.

The heaviest place of yin and righteousness is the prison of the underworld, the hall of the king of Yama and other places, those places are used to judge ghosts, and people who have stayed there for a long time will naturally have a yin and righteous qi, which makes ghosts feel afraid, Jiahui's identity is equivalent to a prison guard in the world, and the pet store where he often stays is naturally not approached by ordinary ghosts.

When I arrived at his pet shop, a cool breeze blew on my face, the pets in the store were still so quiet, all eyes looked at me, their eyes were deep, not at all like the eyes of animals, but like a centenarian who had gone through all the vicissitudes of life, and goosebumps all over my body suddenly rose.

The first time I walked in, I felt like I was walking into a freezer full of strange creatures, but after a few more visits, I got used to it, so I borrowed a coat from Ka Fai, sat on the sofa and asked, "What about our souls?" ”

"Wait, I'm going to feed these pets first, they eat very little, but they also need nutrients." Jiahui said.

He fished out a few live fish from the fish tank, and then threw them in front of the cat, and the cat immediately became excited, grabbed the fish hard, pressed them on the ground, and chewed them with relish.

He took out a lot of small hamsters from the hamster cage and fed them to a few big birds on the other side, those little hamsters were very agile, running around on the ground, but their speed was not as fast as those birds, a few birds swooped down from the air, grabbed them, and pecked them constantly, and the blood flowed all over the ground at once, pecking almost enough, and they lost the ability to resist, and obediently let a few birds peck at them, but these birds did not have a very big appetite, and there were five or six left after eating.

He threw it into the dog cage and gave it to the dogs, and then he took one out of the well-fed cat and fed it to the snake, and when the snake was full, he was fed to the bullfrog......

After feeding it like this, all the animals are full, and they are content to nest in their cages, licking their bloodstained fur, but I think I'm quite surprised, there is so much animal feed on the shelves behind the sofa, why do you have to use pets to feed pets, so don't you lose money?

I don't know much about pets, but just looking at the price on each of their cages, it is thousands of them, and I feel that Jiahui has lost a lot.

"Haven't you seen anyone feed it?" Seeing that they were all full, Jiahui picked up a mop and began to mop the floor to clean up the bloodstains.

"Aren't your pets all expensive? How do you use it as feed? I asked.

"Because you want to keep your blood, I guessed right?" The old beggar said.

"You're right, it's really to keep them bloody, if you always eat those synthetic feeds, their temper will become more and more gentle, so that they lose their attack power, only blood can make them more like animals, after all, they haven't been animals for a long time." Jiahui said.

"Isn't it a long time to be a brute? What does this phrase mean? Their lifespans are already shorter than those of humans. ”

"I mean...... They were originally human, but I want to raise them as animals so that they can make money for me. Jiahui said.

"People? What are you kidding? If they were humans, how could they have the appearance of animals? I asked.

"Can't you tell if they're human or not? Although they are all covered in animal fur, with animal claws and sharp teeth, you should be able to tell and feel by the eyes that they were once our own kind. When Jiahui said this, his expression was very gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling.

Indeed, although they have the appearance of animals, they ...... I always feel that they are like living people, their eyes are very rich in feelings, some are sad, some are desperate, some are leisurely, the intelligence of animals is not as good as that of humans, and it is impossible for their eyes to have so many feelings.

Jiahui actually turned good people into brutes and sold them... This changed my impression of him a little, if one day I really offended him, would he also turn me into a beast and put me in this cage to be sold? After all, he was a tomb robber who once took out a jade pendant from a dead man's mouth, and once paralyzed me and forcibly removed the ghost bones, I always felt that his identity was not just as simple as a prison guard, and when I thought of this, my legs were a little weak.

"Hahaha, I'm kidding you, you still believe it, but if I really have this kind of power, don't open a store during the day, it's so hard to work part-time at night, they are all negative creatures, they eat very little, but it's very bloody, they don't like to eat if it's not bloody, these feeds sold in my store are for pets in the yang world, besides, these pets are just fed once every two or three months, and I'm not too bad." Jiahui smiled again.

The old beggar also smiled, but he smiled very reluctantly, I think the old beggar seems to know his details, but he is too lazy to explain to me, so it seems that I am the only one in the dark?

"Alright, now that I'm done with everything in the shop, let's get started, old beggar, take out what you've prepared." Jiahui said.

I looked at the old beggar, he was wearing a thin dress today, a pair of loose pants underneath, his hands were empty, there was nothing, what did Jiahui tell him to take out?

"Okay, I'll get it out now." The old beggar answered.

I saw that he first folded his hands and closed his eyes, silently used something similar to a spell, and when he spread his hands again, there was a stack of charms in his hand, black characters on a yellow background, all of which were some graphics and words that I couldn't understand, some looked like a crying face, and some looked like a smiling face.
