Text Chapter 11 The Wish-Taker
Supper culture is an indispensable part of modern people's life, after the busy day, take advantage of the night, in the bustling small streets, call three or five friends, sit together, eat skewers and drink wine, say things that dare not be said during the day, and complain about the indescribable helplessness in life.
However, at this moment, Luo Mo, sitting in front of the stall, surrounded by drinking men, in the midst of all kinds of fist strokes and cheers, looking at Zhang Yu who was eating crayfish with gloves on the opposite side, and the old man with fried sauce noodles who had nightmares for a long time sitting next to him, he was extremely depressed - full of questions made him face a table full of supper but couldn't speak.
"Oh, Brother Luo Mo, don't look at me with this expression, eat, eat, you're welcome."
Zhang Yu ate a crayfish at a very fast speed, and waved his hand full of oil to Luo Mo, looking like a host to persuade him to eat, but during the process, he quickly picked up a crayfish on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, seamlessly connected.
"Do you think I can eat if I just got choked by the neck and don't die, but now I can't get a corresponding explanation, octopus kid?"
"Don't call me an octopus! Dislike! Hearing this, Zhang Yu glared at Luo Mo fiercely with big eyes to show his dissatisfaction, and in an instant, he continued his plan to eat lobster, and didn't pay attention to Luo Mo's meaning at all. Luo Mo looked at him a little helplessly, so he had to bow his head and take a sip of beer, and turned his gaze to the old man with fried noodles.
The old man has now returned to his original appearance, still wearing glasses, with kind eyebrows, and he doesn't see the terrifying appearance of shriveling and bleeding just now, at this moment he was in a daze, and when he saw Luo Mo looking at him, he immediately had a signature smile on his face, but there was embarrassment in this smile, and Luo Mo could even see that his hands were rubbing a little cramped now.
"Mr. Luo, this... I'm sorry during this time, I didn't know you were a wish-earner, so you were abrupt. ”
"Wish-Earner ???"
"It seems that you really don't know your identity, Brother Luo" Zhang Yu interjected, Luo Mo turned his head to look at him, and found that the child seemed to have eaten enough, and the gloves full of oil had been removed, and he was reclining on the back of the sofa at the moment, and it was the same salted fish posture that had eaten fried noodles at his house before.
"Me? What else can I do, I'm just an ordinary office worker. ”
Zhang Yu touched his stomach, burped, and said slowly.
"Brother Luo Mo, you, like me, are wish-making masters. What is a Wish-Fulfiller? A wish-giver is a person who can fulfill other people's wishes, but the object we need to help fulfill their wishes is not a human being, but a wish-making soul. Zhang Yu pointed at the old man and continued, "You see, he is the Wishing Soul. ”
"Souls? He....he's a ghost?! Luo Mo was immediately terrified when he heard this, and immediately leaned back to lengthen the distance between him and the old man.
"Hmm... It's not even a good thing, he's not an ordinary soul, he's a wishing soul" Zhang Yu picked up his gourd and drank a sip of water, and said, "After a person's body dies, the soul will automatically leave the body and go to the Hades Hall to clean the memory and reincarnate as a human, but some people are too obsessed and fail to clean their memories, so they will be distributed by the Hades Hall to become the vowed soul, and after becoming the vowed soul, there are seven days to make a vow, if the vow is successful, the obsession is eliminated, and you can be reincarnated smoothly; But if the time has passed, the soul will dissipate and will never be reincarnated. ”
The old man nodded, stretched out his hand to show Luo Mo, and saw that there was really a bell tied to his wrist, and there was a not very clear word "wish" written on the bell, faintly shining.
"And what about our vows, born with a lack of five elements, we have to find these bell-wearing vows in the world to help them make a vow, and if the vow is successful, you can get the power of the vow and merge it into your own magic weapon, and when the magic weapon is full of the power of the vow, the magic weapon will also disappear and become the missing line to be supplemented, and the vow-earner will return to a normal person, and his task will be completed."
"Then how do you know I'm the Wish-Taker?"
"Because of the special aura," Zhang Yu looked at Luo Mo with a smile and said, "On the day of the death of every wish-earner, a child with uneven five elements will be born, and this child will become the new wish-earner, and the one he lacks will turn into a magic weapon to accompany this child." As you get older, the fluctuations of the five elements, which are already imperfect, will become bigger and bigger, and when the missing line is no longer able to withstand the strength of the human body, the magic weapon will be activated, and the power of the new votive master will awaken. ”
"And your birthday is July 30, '92, right, this is the day when the last votive master died, and you also inherited his metallic deficiency, so your magic weapon is a copper coin representing metallicness." Zhang Yu pointed to the position of Luo Mo's chest, Luo Mo pulled out the copper coin from the collar and grabbed it in his hand and looked at it, the copper coin at this moment returned to its original appearance, but just now it was steaming and flashing red light, which made Luo Mo remember it vividly, I didn't expect that the copper coin that had accompanied him for so many years turned out to be a magic weapon, and it also saved his life, Luo Mo secretly decided to go back and wipe the copper coin to repay it for saving his life.
"A few days ago, the Immortal Hall told me that I was going to have a new votive master friend who was going to awaken and let me come to receive and receive you, and I came after my magic gourd poked out your location, but I didn't expect you to awaken at that time, so I could only quietly follow you to observe you."
"That day? The day we first met? ”
"Well, I came to see you that day and found that you didn't have any spiritual power, and the magic weapon was not activated, so I left a mark on you with gourd water, so that no matter where you go, I can teleport to you and don't have to look for you everywhere. I didn't expect the mark left behind to save your life by accident" Zhang Yu turned his head and glanced at the old man beside him, "This old man actually attacked people as a wishing spirit, and it was a wishing master, I felt a yin spirit aura on you, you should have been marked by this old man." ”
As soon as Zhang Yu said this, the old man became even more cramped, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he could only shake his hands in a panic to cover up his uneasiness, and the bell in his hand jingled: "No... No, I didn't think about killing anyone, I just wanted to scare Mr. Luo, so I manipulated his dream and made him think that the copper coin pendant he was wearing was ominous to throw it away, and I could pick it up. ”
"It turns out that his copper coin is not the copper coin you want, is it?"
"That's right, the first time I saw Mr. Luo, he exuded a yin spirit aura, I found a head to lean over and say a few words to him, and by the way, left a mark on him, and when we met for the second time, I found the source of this breath, that is, his copper coin pendant, I took a closer look, this copper coin did not react, at that time I confirmed that it was not the copper coin I was looking for."
Zhang Yu took a tissue and wiped his greasy mouth, Luo Mo thought he was completely full, but he didn't expect him to look around the table, pick up two new gloves and put them on, and eat lobster again.
"Since you found out that Brother Luo's copper coin is not the one you want, why do you still want to rob it, and it caused Brother Luo to faint from heat stroke in the park, if I hadn't arrived in time, Brother Luo would have been killed by you."
When Luo Mo heard this, he sat up straight, his eyes staring at the old man, and he was about to burst into flames: "It turns out that I fainted in the park that time, it was you who did it!" ”
"That's not it, he used the yin spiritual power to control your qi veins at that time, so you were so hot that you couldn't breathe, and in the end, I used the aura of gourd water to relieve his hot veins, but I didn't expect you to faint when the two of them rushed together." Zhang Yu glanced up at Luo Mo, with a little contempt in his eyes, "Seriously, Brother Luo, your body is really too weak, hurry up and exercise, or you will not be able to stand the living body of the wishing master!" ”
