Chapter Twenty-Six: Ghost Talk
Speaking of zombies, I think of Yu Ji again, is she a zombie or not? If zombies are like beauties like Yu Ji, at least they look quite eye-catching, and they are not so scary.
A graceful figure in a red robe came to mind, and the sentence "I wish to accompany the king Chitose to get drunk." "My bones are crispy, is she okay? Is the king still waiting for her in that cold tomb?
"My grandfather is very sure that the old man is a corpse slave who was sucked by zombies after being buried and has not completely dissipated." Liu Zhilong said in a deep voice.
"Then Old Man Liu is looking for Chen Lao to deal with zombies?" I couldn't help but ask.
To be honest, I'm still a little self-aware, this matter is far more complicated than I imagined, I have to call Chen Lao, I really can't settle this matter if he doesn't come.
"That's right, my grandfather called Chen Lao, and Chen Lao said that there was something unfinished over there, and he would not be able to come over until the end of the month, so he sent you here first." Liu Zhilong said with a smile.
"To tell you the truth, I'm also a newcomer who has just entered this industry for a short time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much, but Sister Long can rest assured, but I am willing to do my best to help in whatever I can." I told Liu Zhilong my situation truthfully, and when the time came, I would let her misunderstand that I was a liar who ate and drank.
"Then I will thank you on behalf of my grandfather, due to the seriousness of the situation this time, my grandfather not only called a friend of Chen Lao to help him, but also invited the Sanyang Dao people of Longhu Mountain, the Du family in Xiangxi." It's the first time I've heard of these people that Liu Zhilong said, but I understand the word "help".
Helping boxing on the rivers and lakes is the meaning of shouting helpers to support the scene, it turns out that I came thousands of miles away this time to help for free.
"It's okay, I'm also trying to see the demeanor of a few seniors, and it's just a good thing to increase my knowledge." I said with admiration on my face, as if I couldn't wait.
I said this, but I was a little disappointed in my heart, but I just stepped into this industry to make money, what does the Demon Guard Dao care about me?
"This is not difficult, it has been a few days since those seniors arrived, and when Elder Chen comes, you will naturally see them." Liu Zhilong seems to be convinced of my performance just now, she must think in her heart that I am a good young man with a sense of justice, right? Hey, I'm sorry Sister Long, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm actually a money fan who sees money.
"No hurry, no hurry." I shook my head and said.
At this moment, a hearty laugh said, "Is Meng Xiaoyou here?" ”
"Grandpa is back." Liu Zhilong stood up after saying a word.
I also hurriedly stood up, and the old man Liu Chengen didn't know when he entered the house, and when he saw me standing up from the sofa, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sit down, you're welcome." ”
I sat down again on the sofa after Mr. Liu sat down, this is the least polite matter, after all, the first time we met, I can't lose my courtesy.
"Long'er has already told you what happened, right?" Old Man Liu asked.
"Yes, Liu Lao." I nodded back.
"I didn't plan to look for Lao Chen about this matter, after all, I also heard about his granddaughter, but only Lao Chen among us knows the method of double dragon divination, and without him, we wouldn't have found the zombie who bit the old man." Old Man Liu said with a sigh.
Chen Lao's double dragon divination method, I've seen it, isn't it just throwing the two kings and eight lids, the name is quite loud.
"Liu Lao, are there really zombies?" I've always been curious about this question, people are like this, things that I haven't seen with my own eyes don't easily believe, just like I didn't believe that there are ghosts in this world, but now I see them, so I believe them.
I don't know much about zombies, after all, zombies are much rarer than ghosts, and they may not be able to appear for hundreds of years.
And the description of zombies in the book of Chen's family is also very simple, only one paragraph. "Zombies, born from the resentment of heaven and earth, death, and bad luck, are immortal and indestructible, and in the human world, they use resentment as their strength and feed on blood, their bodies are stiff, their nails are black and sharp, their canine teeth are sharp in their mouths, and they are afraid of the sun." This is the basic characteristic of a zombie.
Liu Lao pondered for a moment and said, "This world is far from being as simple as what you see, do you think that those myths and legends that have been handed down are all made up?" ”
"Old Liu, tell me quickly, what are the strange things in this world besides ghosts and zombies?" Liu Lao's words seem to have opened a door to the unknown world for me, could it be that many legends and stories are true?
"Anyway, it's still early, so let's talk about it for you two juniors." Liu Lao said meaningfully.
"The world we are in is called the human world, and what we call the underworld is in the underworld, the two worlds of yin and yang complement each other, and the three souls of people who die will report to the underworld, and they will be reincarnated and reincarnated back to the world, which is the so-called reincarnation."
"And man has three souls and seven spirits, after death, the soul is scattered, not attached to the body, the soul is thrown into the underworld, waiting for reincarnation, or because of obsession, wandering around, turning into a lonely soul and a wild ghost, suffering from loneliness and hell. This is the ghost. ”
"Zombies are born because of the resentment of heaven and earth, and are stubbornly abandoned by the yin and yang worlds outside the six realms of sentient beings, with resentment as strength and blood as food, they are the most evil things in the world, if they are allowed to grow freely, I am afraid it will be a disaster to the world."
"Fortunately, the conditions for the formation of zombies are extremely harsh, but they have appeared many times in history, but there are only three times in ancient books, one appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, once in the Song Dynasty, and once before liberation, the corpse king of Xiangxi, Mo Li."
"In addition to the two yin things of ghosts and zombies, there is also a kind of monster, they are cultivated by animals, and there are many kinds of monsters, I won't introduce you too much, the most famous is the five great Baojia immortals in the Northeast."
I know this, my grandmother's house was still for a Baojia Immortal at the time, but then I forgot about it when I moved, it seems to be enshrined in the North House of the old house, and I haven't made an offering to the Baojia Immortal for so many years, so the old man won't get angry and come to harm me, right?
Liu Lao took a sip of tea and continued to preach, "After the north is finished, let's talk about the south, in some remote mountainous areas in the south, the locals are willing to worship the idol at home, this idol is actually an evil spirit, the most famous is the eight bucket rice evil spirit." ”
"Whenever there is a great drought or a famine, these eight buckets of rice will appear and sneak to the farmer's house, and if it finds that the farmer's house has an idol of its god, then when it leaves, it will fill the farmer's rice jar, and if the farmer's house does not worship its god, then it will harm the family."
"Then there are some totem gods that some ethnic minorities have been worshipping until now, and the earliest gods in our Chinese history are also this totem gods, which are even earlier than the emergence of Taoism and Buddhism."
"You must know that we have been in China for 5,000 years, there are too many strange things, and there are many that even I don't know, all of this is waiting for you to explore for yourself, the future belongs to you young people." Liu Lao yawned, as if he was very tired.
"Grandpa, go and rest, I'll just accompany Brother Meng." Liu Zhilong said with concern.
"Hey, I'm getting older, so I can't accept old age." Liu Lao seemed to be an old man next door, smiled and nodded to me and went back to the house to rest.
"Sister Long, Old Liu is old this year?" Liu Lao's age looks a few years older than Chen Lao.
"My grandfather is just ninety this year, what's wrong?" Liu Zhilong said curiously.
I just drank a sip of tea almost squirted out, I always thought that Liu Lao and Chen Lao should be the same age, but I didn't expect that Liu Lao Lao is ninety years old, I want to retract what I just said, Chen Lao is you too anxious.
"Sister Long, it's not early, I won't bother, first find a place nearby to stay and wait for Chen Lao, this is my phone, just call me directly if there is anything." I gave Liu Zhilong my phone number.
"Look at you, don't you see the outside, so many rooms in our house are not enough for you to live in?" Liu Zhilong said dissatisfied when he saw that I was going to live outside.
I excused myself, but Liu Zhilong said that he wanted me to stay and live in her house, saying that it was ordered by Liu Lao, and even the room was cleaned up, so I was embarrassed to refuse, so I lived in Liu's house with a cheeky face.
