Chapter 20: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
The girl witnessed Zheng Qian's every move, came over and said, "Oh, who is this, looking down on people so much?" Do you really take yourself seriously? ”
She just saw Zheng Qian kick the little flower child, but she didn't hear what Liu Junyue said to him.
Zheng Qian recognized it at a glance, this is Bai Ling, I didn't expect this little girl to come to Xudu so quickly, when he was in the yang world, he told Bai Ling that he must not recognize each other after arriving in the underworld, so now this misunderstanding cannot be resolved.
"Why do you little girl talk so much, what's the matter with you!"
"It's none of my business, and I don't know who it is, who said that I was so powerful, but it turned out to be just a tavern chores! I have to bully others when I finish my job. ”
Zheng Qian glanced at Liu Junyue, and hurriedly said to Bai Ling: "Don't talk nonsense, this tavern can be different from others." ”
Of course it's different, this tavern is Liu Junyue's tavern in the west of the city, there are still some forces in this area, it doesn't matter if Bai Ling misunderstands Zheng Qian, but if she says something that Liu Junyue doesn't like to hear, then it's troublesome!
Bai Ling didn't know what was going on at all, and said with an indifferent face: "Cut, come, that kid, I'll give you money!" ”
Xiao Hanako originally wanted to leave, but after hearing this, she came back and looked at Bai Ling with blank eyes.
Bai Ling took out a hundred dark coins, handed them to Xiao Huazi, and said, "Okay, let's go, I'm asking for money in the future, don't ask this kind of person, they will only look down on people." ”
A hundred dark coins is actually a dollar in the world, but this little flower is not too little, and I said thank you repeatedly.
Zheng Qian couldn't see it, what do you mean that I look down on people, but in front of Liu Junyue, I can't tell the truth, and now he can't be sure if Liu Junyue knows if he can go to the yang world, so he thought of a way and said to the little Huazi: "Come on, come here, I'll give you a thousand coins, and explain the ins and outs to this woman." ”
Xiao Hanako took the money, glanced at Bai Ling, and said, "Sister, did you just die?" ”
"How do you know?"
"Because you don't know this tavern, you come with me, and I'll explain to you what happened just now."
After speaking, he pulled Bai Ling away.
Liu Junyue sneered in the back and said, "Why do I think, you know that little girl?" ”
Zheng Qian shuddered, cold sweat almost came down, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, how could it be, didn't that woman also say it, she just died, how could I know her?" ”
"It's because she just died that I suspect you know her!" After saying this, Liu Junyue looked at Zheng Qian meaningfully.
What's going on, could it be that she already knows her own business.
Zheng Qian still doesn't fully understand Liu Junyue, so he didn't admit it, and said directly: "No, Sister Junyue, what do you mean, how can I know the person who just died?" ”
"It's best if you don't know, it doesn't matter if you know, anyway, you can't do anything now, and when you can do anything, you won't stay with me."
After saying this, Liu Junyue turned around and went back, he didn't know what Sister Junyue meant, could it be that Sister Junyue already knew his secret?
The evening was very busy, and I don't know why, there were so many people coming to eat tonight.
Mr. He Mingkun is also busy, Lao He usually doesn't like to talk much, but he always has endless words with Zheng Qian, which is also one of Zheng Gan's troubles.
Why is it annoying, because when Lao He speaks, Zheng Qian can't understand it at all.
After Lao He finished writing the last account, he pulled Zheng Qian over and said, "Have you ever read Zhuangzi?" ”
"Huh? What pile? ”
"Zhuangzi?"
"Oh, I haven't seen the Zhuangzi of Confucius and Menglaozhuang you said. Why do you ask me? ”
"Brother Xian doesn't know, recently the foolish brother saw that Brother Xian frowned, presumably because he had encountered troubles, so he wanted to use Zhuangzi's words to solve the heart of Brother Xian."
Zheng Gan's head was big, and when he heard this, he really had a headache, but after all, he was so old, and he couldn't refute Lao He's face, so he said: "I don't have anything to worry about, I said Lao He, don't keep telling me this, okay, I really don't understand!" ”
Lao He shook his head and said: "Xunzi has a saying, the husband is a thousand miles in a day, and the ten horses are also within reach, and the foolish brother sees that the virtuous brother is very smart, so I hope to ask the virtuous brother to read more sage books, what do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean? What does it mean? ”
"Like, what do you think?"
Zheng Qian smiled bitterly, thinking to himself how to return to me, I didn't understand the words you said earlier, how do I know what to do, so he said to Lao He: "Lao He, then let me ask you a question, okay?" ”
"Brother Xian, please speak."
"I know that there are two apples in the house, and three pears outside the house, and I ask, another roof cake?"
Lao He looked confused when he asked this question, and he said to Zheng Gan: "The foolish brother doesn't know, and I ask the virtuous brother for advice." ”
Zheng Qian smiled and said, "The answer is red." ”
"Didn't you ask a few more biscuits? Why is the answer red? ”
"Because Ultraman doesn't wear a hat!"
"Hahahaha!" Xia heard the conversation between these two people on the side, laughing breathlessly, she patted Zheng Gan's shoulder and said, "You, you're so bad, you don't know what Ultraman is when you kill Lao He, hahahahaha." ”
Zheng Qian also lowered his head and smiled.
But Lao He was still a little angry, and he said to Zheng Qian seriously: "What does the virtuous brother mean, the foolish brother kindly persuaded the virtuous brother to read more sage books, why do you want to play tricks on me." ”
At this time, Liu Junyue said beside him: "Zheng Qian didn't mean that, he didn't understand these things you said, and you couldn't understand these things he said, he just wanted to tell you that you don't need to press on him what you think is good, people are not interested at all." ”
"Sister Junyue still understands me, Lao He, I really know a sentence, tell yourself what you don't want, don't do to others, right!"
"Well, what Master Kong said."
"The saying "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is true, but you can't understand that you must do unto others as you would have done unto you, so this sentence is not right."
Lao He nodded and said, "The old man understands." ”
As soon as Lao He's words fell, Li Xue's voice came from outside the door: "Oh yo, what did I hear, Zheng Qian actually said the sage's quotations, do you still know this?" ”
"That's, who are we, my iron buddy is..."In the middle of speaking, he suddenly swallowed the word Hades.
Li Xue waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't be poor, come in with me." ”
Then Zheng Qian followed Li Xue back to the room, she sat on a chair, lit a cigarette, and said, "I can smoke a cigarette happily with you." ”
Zheng Qian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" Can't smoke anymore? Do you still smoke in the underworld? ”
"I don't care about the underworld, but the group is stricter, didn't you find that I didn't smoke in the underworld? Except in the dungeon with adults, and you, in other places, I'm always afraid of meeting acquaintances, so I don't dare to smoke casually. ”
"I'll go, what kind of group are you, you don't even care about smoking, I really want to see it."
Li Xue glanced at him and said, "You really want to go?" ”
"Anyway, I can't always be here as a runner, it's okay to go, it's okay not to go, it's up to you to arrange it."
Li Xue smiled and said, "Don't regret it!" ”
"Regret, what is there to regret, I don't smoke."
"Okay, I'll talk about this later, I forgot to tell you something when I came out of the mansion with the adults just now."
"What's the matter? The card thing? ”
Li Xue glanced at Zheng Qian and said, "You, that's all there is to it." Here, I also brought you the card. ”
"Hehe, it's easy to talk about anything if you have money, you go on, what's the matter?"
"Don't go out tonight!"
"What do you mean?"
"Hundred ghosts walk at night tonight."
When Zheng Qian heard these four words, he rubbed his ears and asked Li Xue, "What did you say?" ”
"Hyakki Night Walk!"
"Eldest sister, if it's in the yang world, you say that a hundred ghosts walk at night, it's somewhat useful, but this is the underworld, how many ghosts are there on the road of Xudu, not to mention a hundred, every day a hundred ghosts walk at night!"
"This is different, the ghosts who live in Xudu are different from the ghosts who are imprisoned in hell."
"What do you mean?"
"In the human world, or in the underworld, the ghosts who have made a major mistake will be sentenced to hell, those ghosts because of their deep resentment, so the yin qi is much deeper than the ordinary ghosts in the capital, thinking of newcomers like you, they want to make your soul scattered, it's just a matter of an instant."
"Then they are also locked up in hell, what does it have to do with me."
"These ghosts have been in hell for too long, and they will have a sense of hell, that is to say, ghosts in hell will produce yin qi due to resentment, but hell can absorb their yin qi, after all, hell is just a magic circle, just because they can absorb the yin qi of ghosts, so these ghosts will never be able to escape."
"Isn't that good?"
"I haven't finished speaking, if Hell absorbs too much of the Yin Qi of the resentful ghosts, it will swell and hurt the people of the capital for no reason."
"I'll go, won't..."
"That's why Lord Yama has set the rule of a hundred ghosts walking at night, once every twelve years, for three days at a time, so that the balance between hell and resentful ghosts has been maintained for so many years."
"In other words, from tonight onwards, there will be ghosts wandering the streets every night?"
"There are during the day, but it's not so dangerous during the day, so don't go out at night."
"Even if they do, they should have a ghost to watch."
"Yes, but there are too many ghosts, and the ghosts can't be seen at all, and you often go to the yang world, the qi on your body is actually different from ours, but ordinary ghosts can't see it, but the ghosts can feel it at once, if you meet a ghost who is not living well in the yang world, then he will definitely make you scattered."
"I'm going, I don't live well in the sun, what does it have to do with me!"
"Some resentful ghosts are conscious and can communicate, and some are not conscious at all, only obsession, just like the ghosts in the yang world, haven't you met Ye Xuan, a truth."
"In the next three days, the streets will be full of Ye Xuan?" Zheng Qian asked tremblingly.
"Yes, all of them, but you don't have to be afraid, just live a normal life, don't go out at night."
"It's easy for you to say, there is still such a thing in the underworld, why didn't you tell me at the beginning, you said that I would have been reincarnated a long time ago!"
"You can't be reborn!" Li Xue threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stepped on it, and said to Zheng Gan: "You don't know the cause of your death, you can't go through the reincarnation procedures at all!" ”
"Do you still need to go through the procedures for reincarnation?"
"Of course, you think it's that easy to reincarnate?" Li Xue turned around and walked out of the door, and before leaving, she told him again: "Don't go out at night, otherwise, no one will be able to save you!" ”
