Chapter 407: Li Lin's inexplicability
I didn't have the idea of staying to help, and I didn't ask more, and after telling us to go downstairs and wait, I took Wu You and Li Lin, who were scared, downstairs.
Xiao Qinghe is yin, according to the yin law, he was not allowed to have too much contact with yang people, and being able to be like this is already the result of his own creation and the magnanimity of the yin judge.
But this is not the same as being free of taboos, in fact, there are still some things that must not be seen by the Yang, so let's avoid them now, in fact, a large part of it is to avoid those taboos, and I don't need to worry about the safety of her and the white-faced scholar at all.
Sure enough, as we left, we just went down to the eighth floor, and there was no sound coming down from the upper floor, falling into absolute silence, obviously Xiao Qinghe had completely blocked the ninth floor at this time, preventing the movement inside from spreading outward, even if he turned back upstairs at this time, he might not be able to see anything.
It is not difficult to imagine that at this time, there must be something extremely terrible going on at the elevator on the ninth floor, but it is difficult to imagine how terrible it is.
"Don't be afraid, this place is safe now, there's nothing to be afraid of. The cigarettes are gone, you go buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke, and by the way, buy a few bottles of water and a pack of betel nuts to come back and chew to pass the time. "After returning downstairs and walking out of the abandoned building, and came to the open space in front of a row of rusty tin houses, I said to Li Lin, who was walking at the back and had no voice at all.
"Huh? Where to buy? I still have cigarettes here, so I don't have to buy them anymore. Li Lin obviously hadn't recovered from what he had seen and heard tonight, and he craned his neck to look around the dark surroundings, his expression nervous, and his face turned pale.
"As long as you have money, you're worried about not being able to buy something? The streets are full of shops, where do you say to buy, let you go, what are you doing with so much nonsense, now that your mouth is dry, you can't drink water? Go! Anyway, I don't know how long I'll have to wait to get back, so I'll buy some snacks and come back. "Knowing that this kid is purely afraid now, he is afraid to go away, so he is too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, and he does not give room for negotiation.
The non-negotiable tone made Li Lin couldn't help but be shocked, looked at me with a stiff expression, and then looked at Wu You, his heart was ten thousand reluctant to shuttle alone in the dark at this time, but he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to admit that he was afraid, after hesitating, he simply stiffened his scalp, took a small flashlight from my hand, and touched it to the back door where he came in just now. As we got farther away from us, the faster we moved under our feet, and we didn't dare to look more on either side than we could, let alone look back.
"Are you okay now?" The purpose of opening Li Lin was to talk to Wu You, who was also a little speechless at this time, so after Li Lin touched the back door of the construction site little by little, I looked at her who looked a little pale and asked.
"Huh? Fortunately, it's the first time I've really seen these things intuitively, and I think it's a bit unbelievable. The woman, who was also obviously a little distraught, listened to me, and quickly looked up at me, showing a slight reluctant smile.
"You don't think it's all a trick I made up on purpose to scare you, do you?" I took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it, squatted down to look at the dark abandoned building in the night, and then asked with a smile.
Wu Youqian smiled and shook his head, then squatted down next to me, holding his chin with both hands and looking ahead.
"As you can see, most people don't believe it, and many people have a hard time experiencing the last thing in their lives, and it's something that people like me often have to face." After smoking a cigarette quietly, as if talking to myself, I turned my head slightly to look at the woman and said, "Aside from other factors, you don't need to think about anything, just talk about Sister Qinghe and Qingci who let you see tonight, do you think they are powerful?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Wu You replied: "I don't know about these things, so it's difficult to have a relatively accurate judgment, but intuitively, I think even in ghosts, by the way, it should be right to be called ghosts, there will be no disrespect or anything, right?" No, anyway, I think even in ghosts, these two friends of yours are relatively powerful, especially the one you call Sister Qinghe. ”
I nodded and smiled: "It is indeed a relatively powerful existence, and Sister Qinghe is still a yin in the Netherworld, and the duty of walking in our world is to deal with the same powerful ghosts and resentful spirits as the one we saw tonight." It's not appropriate to say that she should deal with it, because her main purpose is to break the resentment of such powerful ghosts, make them sober up, have a clear understanding of the mistakes they have committed, and then return to the underworld to repay their sins and rebuild the next life, so her main duty is to save. Such a yin cha who can walk freely in the world is indeed a more powerful existence, and the identity of the yin cha can make all yin things fearful when they see her. ”
After a pause, I added, "But if I told you that all this is not absolute, and that there are actually more powerful things that can no longer be summed up in terms of ghosts, and that there is no fear of yin at all, would you believe it?" ”
"Are you trying to say that you and your deceased master need to deal with something much more powerful than your two friends?" After being slightly stunned, Wu You looked at me and asked.
"Yes, absolutely." I nodded and smiled: "If it's just people who need to be dealt with, I naturally have nothing to be afraid of, even if it's a vicious person, there is always a way to deal with it, and it's not difficult to guard against." But if we add these things that I have mentioned, we have to be cautious and not careless, because we can't prevent them at all, and we don't know when these things will appear, and if they do, what kind of means will be used to create threats. ”
"All in all, this kind of confrontation is completely unequal. I know everything about the other party, and it is no exaggeration to say that as soon as I leave the house, it is very likely that all my whereabouts are under surveillance, and there is no secret at all, and I don't know anything about the exact information of the other party, but I only know roughly that it exists, and I don't know where it is. ”
"What's more, they can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, as long as they can create enough threats, no matter how many people are implicated, no matter how many innocents are killed. But I can't, and neither can my master, otherwise he wouldn't have spent twenty or thirty years, and he couldn't get rid of the other party, but he died in a foreign land, and when he closed his eyes, my apprentice didn't know at all, until the urn entered the house, and I learned that his old man was no longer alive. It's hard for me to describe to you, when an old man went out talking and laughing, only to come back with only a small box, what it was like when I came home and saw the little box, and even now, I don't know how I got here, it's like a dream. So now it's just me, can I be careless, can I not be afraid? So many family and friends, so many people who care, in fact, I have no ability to protect them, let alone all, as long as any one falls into their hands, I can only obediently tie my hands and let them slaughter a way to go. ”
"So...... What do you think I should do? I know that it is useless to guard against it, but I can't stop doing it because of this, and what's worse is that I only know how to do a lot, but I don't know how to do it. I smiled.
Knowing that the current situation is not optimistic, but not being able to make substantive and effective changes, or deployments, is my current situation.
In the final analysis, it is because of the lack of ability, knowing how strong the other party is, knowing how vulnerable he is after suddenly losing the old man's mountain to protect him from the wind and rain, and also knowing how many fetters he can't abandon.
But this is the status quo that can no longer be reversed, no matter how bad it is, the only choice is to face the difficulties.
"I understand...... After being silent for some time, Wu You said softly, still holding his chin in his hands and looking ahead, without turning his head to look at me.
I nodded, threw away the cigarette butts that had long since burned out, and there was no longer any spark, and after thinking about it, I said, "So, go back to the United States, while you have just come back now, maybe you haven't been discovered by those things, the sooner the better." ”
"Will you come and see me off then?" Wu You smiled.
"Of course it will, even if you don't say it, I will take the initiative to send you at that time." I say.
"Is it because you want to see me safely on the plane?" Wu You asked with a smile again.
I smiled lightly and didn't answer again.
The main purpose of bringing this woman to see these things is to give her a clearer understanding of my current situation, knowing that I am a powder keg that can be detonated at any time, and that the Death Star is not a joke at all, so that she will retreat from the difficulties and get as far away from me as possible.
As long as this can be achieved, nothing else matters.
Fortunately, after withstanding the impact of tonight, this difficult woman, who has always won more and lost less since so many years of "confrontation", which makes me often have headaches, finally felt some fear more or less, and finally had the idea of retreating.
"Speaking of which, you haven't asked me why I'm back this time, but it doesn't seem to matter anymore." Now that it has been decided, Wu You didn't say anything more, looked at me and smiled, and asked, "Do you think that I am going like this, which seems a little unrighteous?" ”
"You and I are not brothers who worship in the rivers and lakes, what is there to talk about." I smiled softly.
"Okay......" Wu You nodded, thought about it and said: "I really don't blame me for being greedy for life and afraid of death, after hearing that you are in such a big crisis and are experiencing such a big difficulty, you don't have the intention of staying to help you at all, and you will leave you without thinking about it, and hide far away by yourself?" ”
I smiled, then shook my head, "No. ”
"That'...... Thank you. Wu You nodded with a smile, and after a little silence: "At the same time, I want to say I'm sorry." ”
I was about to continue to say something to change the topic and ease my emotions, but suddenly I heard a sound on the side of the iron house behind me, which seemed to be a slip on a waste steel bar, and I quickly turned my head to look.
A few seconds later, Li Lin walked out of the completely dark corner of his vision and slowly walked towards us.
"You didn't go shopping?" I was a little surprised to find out that it was this guy hiding behind and eavesdropping.
"I went, I just came back, but you didn't hear me come back while you were talking." Li Lin replied, and at the same time, he put a red plastic bag on the ground in front of us, to be precise, it was more like a fall in front of us, making a "poof" sound, the bag broke instantly, and some of the contents were exposed.
"It's for you to buy something, as for the temper? The next time you don't want to go, just say it, don't go and come back and throw your face at people. "Seeing this guy's face as if he owes him a lot of money, I suddenly lost my good temper.
As a result, I didn't expect me to say this, Li Lin became even more energetic, sat down on a cement pier two or three meters away from us, and threw an unfinished iron can in his hand in front of him: "Then don't force me to go just now, what's the use of talking about this now, anyway, you are talking about everything." ”
"Li Lin, did you take the wrong medicine? Have I offended you? Let you buy a bottle of water and come back to drink it depends on your face? I think you really think your face is bigger. As soon as I heard this, I suddenly began to get angry, and when I came back, I was angry, this is a lot of food!
"Forget it, my brother's family, don't lose your temper because of some inconsequential things, it's not worth it, it's not worth it." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Wu You hurriedly smiled and started a round in the middle: "Isn't it very good, people go all the way to buy so many things and come back, how can they not remember it well, and lose their temper in turn, Li Nian, this is your fault." ”
As he spoke, he opened the plastic bag on the ground, and sure enough, he bought a lot of things, including a can of Red Bull and a bottle of fresh juice, as well as three bottles of mineral water, in addition to the betel nut I explained, there were some various snacks.
The Red Bull is naturally mine, Li Lin's bottle he has already drunk and thrown away, after handing the Red Bull to me, Wu You picked up the bottle of fresh juice that was obviously bought for her with both hands, and looked at Li Lin with a smile and was about to say thank you.
Unexpectedly, before the words came out, Li Lin, who was sitting on the cement pier with his hands in his arms, spit a mouthful of saliva straight to the front of him, and just choked Wu You's words back to his mouth, it is difficult to say whether it is a coincidence, but the suspicion of intention is not completely absent, it depends on how the listener understands.
"Thank you, Xiaolin, at a glance, you know that you are a careful boy, and you must recruit girls at school, much better than your brother." Wu You is nothing, slightly stunned for a moment and said with a smile, obviously to understand on the good side, but I heard the nameless fire, and then became furious, without thinking about it, I slammed the Red Bull in my hand that had not been opened at the guy who didn't know how to lift it, and smashed it on the cement pier with a "bang", and the liquid splashed in an instant, scaring the women around me at the same time, and scared Li Lin, who didn't look at us, was taken aback.
"You're shameless to give you face, aren't you? Inexplicably, who are you disgusting to show it to?! ”
