Chapter 8: Grievances

Before updating, start by writing a paragraph for your readers. Recently, I've been busy, busy with business during the day and rushing to the manuscript at night, which is really unbearable. First of all, this question was given to me by Xiaomi and Nana.,Said that my style of writing has changed after I signed a contract to sharpen iron.,It's a bit of a fantasy.,Actually, it's like this.,My first and second volumes are all small fragments.,Most of the time is what happened when I didn't know Mr. Zang.,And how did I know this group of friends.,Why they hang on with ghost stories to explain.。 In the first two volumes, only the second paranormal journey was dedicated to ghost hunting, but at that time nothing happened, and the rest were heard or discovered by accident. In the third and fourth volumes, as well as the fifth volume that has not been updated, it tells why I am still looking for ghosts, and why I tell everyone fortunes and disasters in the group, how these skills came about, and of course, the most painful experience of my life. As for fantasy, there are some action shots that are not wrong. For example, in Tianjin Wanghailou, it was the pier in the article, and I did do it at that time, but the real situation was that the old dog knocked me to the ground with a punch, hit the temple, and almost didn't die. And I described the scene when I was practicing with other people, and I added it just to make the text look better, I hope you understand. Thank you for your support, and thank you for your valuable advice, I think I have the motivation to go on with you.

There is not much gossip, and I will continue from the previous article.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a white hospital bed with an infusion tube in my hand, one of those fixed needles, it looked like I had been on the infusion for days, and I looked like a mummy with a bandage on my body.

I heard a familiar wicked laugh and looked sideways, and there was a bad old man sitting on the bed next to me, with a newspaper in one hand and an arm around his neck. "Teacher Zang?" I was shocked and said, the wound hurt a little too hard, but it was not as painful as I imagined.

"Move again, move again, and the wound will all open for you." Teacher Zang said in a mocking tone. I said, "Aren't you hanging all the time, what's wrong with you?" Whoever made you like this, I chopped him. Teacher Zang put down the newspaper and stroked his beard and said, "It's nothing." Then he asked thoughtlessly, "By the way, why don't you use the child and mother lock this time?" I was embarrassed to say: "To tell the truth, the twenty-six-character mantra of the mother and son lock, I forgot it as soon as I started fighting, and then you told me again, if I remember it wrong, it would be better not to use it then." Teacher Zang said: "Your kid's life is really good, all the ghosts and ghosts in heaven and earth can be trapped with the mother and child locks, but the gluttonous ghosts can't do it, because this lock is evil, and his appetite for food can specialize in this lock." If you do, things may be even more troublesome. ”

I nodded understandingly and said, "Ask two questions, where are we?" The second question is what did you do with your arm? Is it because he went out to prostitute and didn't give money to people. Teacher Zang smiled and said, "Answer you first, look at your case and know that you have been sent back to Zhengzhou, of course, in your coma." To answer your second question, I was a prostitute who didn't give money to make people beat, but I prostituted your sister and didn't give money. No, no, you don't have a sister, do you have a cousin or something. Didn't I tell you? I have something to accompany you to Tianjin, but I'm afraid that you won't succeed, I went by the way to collect a ghost by myself, and I also had a tearful mole under my left eye, we have two now, 100% successful, but after the collection, I was too tired to stand firm and broke my arm, and I couldn't help people get old and have brittle bones. But it's okay, next time it must not be like this, next time I will fight for your sister not to give money, not to fall but to let you fight like this, to the old ghost who does not pimp. In the understatement and scolding, Mr. Zang took a very thrilling ghost collection adventure with him, and all this was just for me, I couldn't help but have some moist eyes.

Teacher Zang made me laugh again with one sentence: "Don't you give money?" Next time you give money to a prostitute, don't cry, give money is indispensable to your sister's and your share of money. I gave him a blank look and said, "You're not serious." "We are all in a word, and we are already teachers, friends, and fathers and sons.

I controlled my emotions and asked, "Teacher Zang, what do you think of the Soul Eater?" Teacher Zang said: "Actually, many soul eaters, they don't want to be soul eaters, it's just that the soul is addicted after eating it, I haven't eaten it, but I have a few soul eater friends, they said so." I guess it's like smoking a big cigarette, most of them were originally very good ghost seekers and onmyoji, and some of them could become ghost seekers and onmyoji, just because of special reasons, such as the three souls and seven spirits were injured and the like, they could only devour the soul in order to save their lives, once they ate it once, they couldn't control it in the future, and the ants were still greedy for life, let alone people, so you can't blame them, you have to look at this problem peacefully, what do you say? ”

"That's right, but I feel that some of them are very bad, such as the smiling tiger and the old dog, but some of them are very kind, such as the narcissus lily, do you say they are good or evil, friends or enemies?" I continued.

Teacher Zang looked at me and said, "First of all, you are not sure that this question is right from the perspective of looking at affairs, what is good for you is good, such as narcissus lily, and what is bad for you is evil?" You are not a god, the world does not revolve around you, and whether you are a good person is not such a criterion. Of course, I have to admit that Narcissus is a very good girl, and Lily is not bad, but when you see Lily devouring the soul of a baby who is about to be reincarnated, do you still think she is a good person? And you said that the Smiley Tiger, yes, he is indeed a bad person, he is selfish, insidious and cunning, untrustworthy, completely useless, he eats the souls of his parents, and also mutilates living beings, in my point of view he is a complete bastard, but in the eyes of the old dog, the Smiley Tiger is a good subordinate who is efficient and ruthless. Speaking of this, Teacher Zang coughed, cleared his throat, I handed over a glass of water, Teacher Zang took two sips and continued, "You said that the old dog is a bad person, I don't agree with it, I know what you are thinking, it is what Narcissus told you, but if I tell you that the matter also has something to do with me, it is I who calculated that the man named Ah Wei hit Narcissus, and will kill Narcissus, even if he dies, he will be entangled with Narcissus, and finally he will become a ghost." If you were an old dog, who would you choose to kill when faced with your own granddaughter and a granddaughter's lover? ”

"So the old dog became this bad guy in order not to let his granddaughter Narcissus know the truth, right?" I asked. Teacher Zang pondered for a while and nodded vigorously: "Yes, to be honest, Narcissus hasn't talked to the old dog very well in the past few years, just for Ah Wei's death." "I understand that maybe I misjudged because I didn't see the whole picture.

I said, "Maybe I'm wrong." Teacher Zang continued to say to me slightly: "That's not true, you're not wrong, you just expressed your point of view, no one can take into account all aspects of things, and can only judge the good and evil of things through their own understanding." I finally understood, in fact, many things are not what we imagined, I suddenly remembered the confrontation between Brother Qiang and the Soul Eater, so I asked: "Then how did our ghost seekers and Onmyoji make a feud with the Soul Eater, even if the methods are different and the views are different, even if they are cruel, we hate and even ignore them at most, but why do I always feel that Brother Qiang has something to say, as if there is a deep hatred." ”

Teacher Zang looked at me with a smile and said, "You kid is always so observant, it is true that Xiaoqiang is not hateful but hateful, and this hatred is not for no reason." Let me tell you about him. Xiaoqiang was abandoned by his parents since he was a child, so he grew up in an orphanage, and was later adopted when he was in his sixties, and that person was his master, a ghost seeker named Han Zhi. He took a fancy to Xiaoqiang's qualifications, carefully cultivated him, taught him to read and write, and when he learned a little introductory knowledge, that is, when he was seven years old, the Cultural Revolution began. We ghost seekers have always been incognito, rarely come out to earn money from this, and we won't ask for money when others ask for help, of course, most families will be grateful to Dade for taking out a lot of money, and part of us will donate good deeds and part of it will be left for our own use, I told you about this, right? I nodded to show that I knew, and continued to listen to Mr. Zang go down: "Han Zhi is no exception, in addition to interacting with a few people in our circle, he is occasionally introduced by acquaintances to help people see feng shui, in that era, he had more than the income of most people's families combined, but Han Zhi is very good at being a person and still lives in the most ordinary house, of course, there was no very good house at that time, and the people of the whole country lived almost the same." Just mentioned that the Cultural Revolution began, Han Zhi was betrayed, and the betrayer was a neighbor, and the reason was very simple, because once when he was giving Han Zhi something, he saw a gossip mirror hanging on the wall of his house. The next step was to fight in the streets, parade through the streets, and become one of the many victims of the Cultural Revolution. Han Zhi finally died at the Red Guard Headquarters and was starved to death. From that day on, Xiaoqiang had no one to care about anymore, he grew up alone, dug up the dossier that Han Zhi hid underground, learned a lot of yin and yang techniques, and as a ghost seeker, he slowly realized the trick of ghost hunting. After the end of the ten-year catastrophe, Xiao Qiang was seventeen years old, and a year later, when a leader of the country who changed the fate of China went to Tianjin to inspect, Xiao Qiang solved a soul, attracted attention and was invited to the Central Committee like a tiger, and after another ten years or so, Xiao Qiang was tired of this work, and left the Central Committee after declaring his loyalty to the people and the party, of course, he also spent ten years in a monitored environment, until now if Xiao Qiang meets any foreign customers will still be called for questioning. ”

Teacher Zang took a sip of water and continued: "After he came back, he became famous after telling the fortunes of very important people, he no longer looked like a ghost seeker but like a so-called feng shui master, until that year when he was invited to Zhengzhou to see feng shui, he met me, I told him a lot, and he also raised a lot of questions, why he became more and more unable to sense some things, more and more miscalculated and other questions." And you know my answer, I also told you, as a ghost seeker, you have to be sensitive, and the more impure your thoughts, the better, but at the moment of ghost hunting, you must maintain the tranquility of heaven and earth, and Xiaoqiang at that time can be described in four words, that is, interests. After listening to my answer, he returned to Tianjin and began to stop participating in these yin and yang feng shui things. Maybe his fortune is really prosperous, and he has been very successful in the business without a few years of kung fu, and slowly the money is snowballing, and I have not heard of any news that he tells fortunes and looks at feng shui and other things. Although Xiaoqiang has only been with Han Zhi for a year, he regards Han Zhi as his father, so he found Han Zhi's soul, brought it home, and worshiped Han Zhi day and night, until one day, Han Zhi's soul was eaten by a fledgling soul eater when he traveled at night. Xiao Qiang went to investigate the matter and asked for strict punishment of the Soul Eater, but one of the minds of the Soul Eater was very protective of that person, Xiao Qiang asked us for help, and we were really powerless to fight back. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Why?" Don't you know a lot of people? No matter how powerful the Soul Eaters are, they are also human, and they are also afraid of power and money. "But what if they have more power than we have, and more money than we have?" Teacher Zang said to me with a straight face.

I stopped talking and continued to listen to Teacher Zang say: "You have seen the skills and combat effectiveness of the Soul Eater Beasts, and their insight is also higher than ours, we can use magic to harm them, but this is a violation, if we do this, what is the difference between them and them." Secondly, if one party is very easy to find, give money and power to help you subdue monsters, and the other party is willing to help you depending on fate and listen to the destiny of heaven, which side do you choose? You don't have to rush to answer, let me tell you that most people choose the simplest and easiest type of people to find, which is the Soul Eater, so they have accumulated too much money and power over the years, far surpassing us. In ancient times, because of the support of the imperial court and wealthy merchants, we have been suppressing the Soul Eater, but now it is a fast-paced society, and the counterattack of the Soul Eater Beast has suppressed us, and it is precisely because there are still a few very good onmyoji and a few ghost seekers who can speak are still alive, so they have made a pact with us that will not interfere with each other, which is why Xiaoqiang is so afraid when he hears about a full-scale war. How can thousands of years of hatred be eliminated so quickly, coupled with Xiaoqiang's own reasons, the new hatred and old hatred have produced this feeling of hostility, which is what you call deep hatred and great hatred. ”

I asked a new question: "How many Soul Eaters are there now, and how many are there Ghost Seekers and Onmyoji?" Teacher Zang thought for a moment and said: "There are more than a dozen ghost seekers in the country, and there are six onmyoji, one of whom is hidden from time to time and we can't contact him, and the other two work for the characters above, so let's not inquire." There is also a foolish thing when he was young, so he is still imprisoned. The rest are Mr. Guan and Mr. Du, don't ask me about Mr. Du's situation, I don't deal with him, he is a very strange person. How many do you say so? The total number of people who are present and absent is about twenty. As for the Soul Eater, I don't know much, but there are at least more than 300 people, so you know the difference in strength. ”

"And what kind of attitude do we maintain towards the Soul Eater?" I say. "In principle, we maintain a non-friendly and non-hostile attitude, do not contact too much, do not generate good feelings, and do not deliberately create friction." Teacher Zang replied.

I whispered to Teacher Zang: "But how can I listen to the old dog, as if I know you and admire you very much, could it be that you two have a good relationship?" "I want to end this heavy topic, teasing Mr. Zang.

Teacher Zang laughed: "You kid want to hold my handle, I'll tell you the old man, I have a great relationship with the old dog, and we have fought together, I don't care about any new and old grudges, whoever respects me will pay him back, and whoever hurts me and the people I care about even if it is a ghost seeker or an onmyoji, I will fight back." These grievances are the past for me, what do they have to do with me. ”

The door opened at this time, Yanzi came in with a few thermos buckets, she ignored me and opened a few thermos buckets to greet Teacher Zang: "The old man has eaten, the big bone broth I made for you today also fried a few dishes you like to eat, I will wipe your hands and you eat while it is hot." I pulled the swallow and said, "I'm hungry too." Swallow ignored me and went back to wash the towel.
