Chapter 17 Successor
Hearing Granny Gui's words, I couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in my heart, could it be that Mu Zihan's ulterior motives are actually related to resentful souls? But why wouldn't this old woman tell us? Then, I couldn't help but think of Hu Feifei who disappeared without a trace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And just when I was secretly pondering, Fang Ling had already begun to answer truthfully: "Actually, I only saw it once in a moment before, and at that time I thought it was just my hallucination. Not long ago, Siyuan told me, and I realized that there really is such a thing as a ghost in this world. ”
"What the hell, nonsense. Ghosts are just illusory things that are created in their own hearts by those who are thieves and used to scare themselves. Spirits, on the other hand, are a natural phenomenon, although they resemble what people traditionally call ghosts. However, it is actually fundamentally different from ghosts. Didn't Xiao Muzi, that little rabbit cub tell you this? Also, you kid too, what nonsense do you don't understand! Granny Gui said, glaring at me angrily, and it could be seen that I was very angry because I confused ghosts with resentful spirits.
But I was also aggrieved in my heart, so I couldn't help but defend myself: "It was Mu Zihan who told me, he said that ghosts are not necessarily resentful spirits, but resentful souls must be ghosts." So I ......"
There is nothing wrong with that. But, I have to add that ghosts are not ghosts, you know? Silly boy! Before I could finish speaking, Granny Gui interrupted me, but then began to explain to me and Fang Ling.
It turns out that Snake Village, a hidden village, has a traditional rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, that is, if you want to become the wizard leader of the village, you must be able to communicate with resentful spirits. And, amazingly, there are not many villagers in this snake village. However, every generation or generation, a baby is born with this ability.
It's a pity that in Granny Gui's generation, this genetic phenomenon seems to have disappeared suddenly. As a result, even though Granny Gui is now over 100 years old, she still can't find a successor.
Later, according to Granny Gui's explanation, I finally realized that ghosts are not "ghosts" in the traditional sense. Because "ghost" contains the meaning of ghost. However, ghosts are actually just a kind of energy body produced by living beings after death. Moreover, not to mention animals, even human beings, who are the spirits of all things and have complex minds, the ghosts that arise after death will quickly dissipate and turn into unconscious "soul particles" and enter reincarnation.
Of course, when I asked her what "reincarnation" was, her answer was almost the same as when Mu Zihan left, saying that she didn't know. Because, once a ghost turns into a "soul particle" and enters reincarnation, it is impossible to demobilize and return, so it is impossible to convey information about "reincarnation" to Granny Gui. However, she firmly stated that this "reincarnation" is just a natural law, and it is by no means the "six reincarnations" in myths and legends.
And resentful spirits are indeed a type of ghosts, and the process of creating ghosts is the same. However, unlike ordinary ghosts, the dead creature has certain desires or emotions in its mind that are so strong that they can be said to go deep into the soul at the moment of death.
Then, after death, this desire or emotion will naturally transfer to the ghost. As a result, ghosts that are supposed to soon turn into "soul particles" can maintain the image of dead creatures, and even retain some of their memories and thinking abilities. In general, this strong emotion is mainly resentment. Therefore, this kind of ghost who is unwilling to enter "reincarnation" is collectively called a resentful ghost.
However, resentful spirits are actually just a body of energy, so even if they retain a certain independent character and thinking ability, they can't have any physical interference with the real world, to put it bluntly, they can't touch anything in real life at all.
Hearing this, I finally understood why Hu Feifei said that he was willing to pour tea and water for Mu Zihan that day, and did laundry and cooking. Mu Zihan said unappreciatively that even such a trivial matter, in Hu Feifei's state, would not be able to complete it. It turned out that Hu Feifei, who was a resentful spirit, couldn't touch any physical objects at all, including daily necessities such as teacups and clothes.
Next, Granny Gui finally said the reason why she would know that Fang Ling and I were coming to Snake Village.
It turned out that when we were going up the mountain yesterday, there happened to be a grave bag not far from the place where I insisted on resting, and a resentful spirit happened to be hiding in it at that time. Moreover, what is even more coincidental is that this resentful soul actually knows Mu Zihan who came to Snake Village three years ago, and even has a good relationship with Mu Zihan and has been helped by Mu Zihan.
Therefore, when I heard Fang Ling and I talk about Snake Village and Mu Zihan, I thought of the nest of wild wolves nearby, and considering our safety, I rushed to Snake Village as quickly as possible and told Granny Gui all this.
And after knowing all this, Granny Gui immediately arranged for Da Zhuang, who was the leader of the Snake Village, to escort the wizard, and led several young people in the village to pick us up as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, Snake Village was too far away from where we were camping, and we didn't know exactly where we were, so it wasn't until the next morning that we were finally found.
"How? Girl, I heard you say that you saw a resentful spirit for a moment, so are you interested in staying in Snake Village and being my successor? After Granny Gui finished explaining, she suddenly looked at Fang Ling and said. It turned out that this dead old woman had been fighting this idea.
"Nope." I helped Fang Ling refuse before she could speak, I didn't want to stay in this kind of ghost place for the rest of my life, and at the same time said: "As far as I know, as long as the body has invisible contact with the resentful spirit, then this person can see the resentful spirit." In that case, you can just ask a resentful spirit to help, won't you? The successor can have as much as he wants. ”
"Bastard boy, what nonsense? How can such a person who has gained power with the help of external forces be qualified to become the leader wizard of our snake village? Hearing my words, Granny Gui suddenly became angry and said to me, "Actually, you are also qualified, but looking at your stupid appearance, I don't feel at ease to hand over my village to you." ”
Oh, that's a thank you, otherwise, I guess even if I was injured, I would have to run for my life overnight. But then I became puzzled again, and asked puzzledly: "Granny Gui, since you are so anxious to find a successor, why don't you give way to Mu Zihan, who came to Snake Village three years ago?" Doesn't he also see the ghosts? ”
"You think I don't want to? It's just that Xiao Muzi's little rabbit cub is slippery like a loach. On the night I said I wanted to pass the throne to him, I ran away. Granny Gui seemed to be angry when she said it: "Obviously, that kid has been in our village for three years, and he is very compatible with everyone, and he is a very good heir." ”
Haha, hearing this, I almost laughed to the point of stomach cramps. I finally know now where I spent the three years when Mu Zihan disappeared, and why did I have to set up such a bureau this time to trick me into coming to Snake Village to find this Granny Gui? The dare is that the kid himself doesn't dare to come back at all, for fear that once he returns here, he will be caught by Granny Gui and become the wizard leader of the snake village, and then he will be trapped in this small village for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think: I don't know how that guy is doing these days? Could it be that by the time I go back, he has already successfully arrested the "Butterfly Mark"? It seems that when the time comes, we must let him talk about his experience in the past few days.
