Chapter 495: Borrowing Life

I looked at the two of them strangely, pointed to the half of the incense, and asked, "When did this thing stick to the ground?" What do you light incense for? ”

Xue Qian smiled at me twice: "You'll know in a while." ”

Mr. Lu stuffed the remaining half of the incense into the child's mouth. "Do you feel it?" ”

The child nodded and said, "I feel it." ”

Mr. Lu said: "When the incense is rekindled, you must leave, otherwise, it may be dangerous." ”

The child nodded and left.

I saw a shadow dragging behind him, and he did walk with his feet on the ground. But I always felt that something was wrong with him.

I was poured a lot of wine by Mr. Lu and Xue Qian, and my brain couldn't turn around.

I stood up on the table, put my arms on their shoulders, and asked, "Is this kid a human or a ghost?" ”

Mr. Lu looked at me, smiled and said, "It's a ghost." ”

I nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's a ghost." It seems that I was not mistaken. Then I asked suspiciously, "Since he is a ghost." Why is there a shadow? ”

Xue Qian pulled me to sit on the bed. Then he said, "Look back, don't you understand?" ”

I looked at him quizzically, then turned around with effort. At this time, I saw two shadows on the wall behind me. Xue Qian's one is very normal, while my own is so faint that I can barely see it.

I was startled by the sight, and the wine woke up immediately.

I glared at the two of them, "What's going on?" Are you hurting me? ”

Mr. Lu looked innocent: "We are helping you." It's not hurting you. ”

I asked, somewhat annoyed, "Can you help me?" How did I not know? ”

Xue Qian pointed to the food on the table and said, "Just now, Mr. Lu and I helped you find something to eat." You can't find it on the left, you can't find it on the right. At this time, a child was found standing on the side of the road. Said he could give us something to eat. Originally, the gentleman was not subject to food, but I thought that you were still hungry. We reluctantly accepted it. Isn't that helping you? ”

Xue Qian's words were reversed, but I could hear it, I grabbed his collar and roared, "The food you brought was given by a ghost?" ”

Xue Qian smiled helplessly.

I finally understood that no wonder the meals were cold. Presumably, both of them had just been retrieved from the grave.

I looked at Mr. Lu and said, "Old Dao Lu, you have to make it clear to me today." ”

Mr. Lu was annoyed when he saw me. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Zhao Mang, don't look at me like this." The three of us have always advanced and retreated together, and we will never do anything to be sorry for you. ”

I said, "Well, you won't be sorry for me, so let me ask you, where has my shadow gone?" ”

Mr. Lu glanced out of the door, lowered his head, and said sullenly, "Didn't you lend it to that child?" ”

I was shocked: "Can you borrow a shadow?" What does he borrow my shadow for? ”

Mr. Lu opened one eye and closed one eye, and was carefully looking into the wine glass. It's as if there's something fun in there. After a while, he said hesitantly: "Shadows naturally can't be borrowed casually. However, if you lend him some Yangshou, won't he have a shadow......"

I listened to it with a sweat, and my heart slowly sank. At this time, I was not scared, nor angry, but a little sad. The two of them and I were born and died for so long, and they actually harmed me and gave my yang shou to others.

My voice was hoarse: "You lent him my Yangshou?" ”

Mr. Lu raised his head, looked at me, and then asked Xue Qian, "Is he crying?" ”

Xue Qian turned my face, looked at it carefully, and then said, "I haven't cried yet, with tears." Lao Zhao, I really can't imagine that you are so sentimental. ”

I opened his hand. Xue Qian smiled: "Lao Zhao, are you there?" This little Yangshou, look at your stinginess. ”

I sniffed, leaned against the wall, closed my eyes and said, "Old Xue, you don't treat me as a brother too much." They actually wanted to kill me. ”

Mr. Lu saw that I was really anxious, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, it's just a day." Just one day's longevity. ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately opened my eyes and felt much better: "Only lent out for one day? ”

"Actually, it's not a day. That kid is dead, and he can't use your Yangshou on him. He's just taking advantage of your longevity to go home, and he borrows and repays. For him, it is an extra day of longevity. For you, it's just a sickness, a cold and flu. You don't have a lot of work for a minute, don't worry. ”

As soon as I heard this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Overjoyed, he didn't bother to pursue the two of them. I rubbed my eyes and said, "You two are teaming up to trick me this time." ”

Xue Qian said innocently: "Lao Zhao, I don't want to hurt you. But Mr. Lu said that if I didn't help, he would cheat me. I also can't protect myself, so I have to make this decision. ”

I waved my hand and said, "Okay, don't pretend." You and Mr. Lu are in cahoots, I have long seen it. Then I pointed to the food on the table and asked, "I ate the child's food, so I lent him Yangshou?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "That's pretty much what it means. This meal is served to the children. Let you eat it, there is a cause and effect between the two of you. With this thing, it's like an extra bridge between two people I don't know, and I'm good to go. ”

He pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "When I entered the door, I lit a stick of incense over there while you didn't think about it." This incense is used to keep track of the hour, and after the day's amount is up, I will let Xue Qian extinguish it. In the end, I let the child eat it, and when the yang shou he borrowed was used up, the incense would burn in his body, and remind him to hurry away. ”

I nodded and said, "I see. What's the matter with this kid? Do you have to return the sun for a day? ”

Mr. Lu sighed and said, "It seems that he is reluctant to his parents." Saying anything about being disobedient when you are alive makes your parents angry all day long. After I died, I gradually figured it out. It's nothing more than wanting to go back and kowtow, admit your mistake or something. ”

I said, "Don't freak out his parents. ”

Mr. Lu smiled: "If the old man dies and comes back to his soul, his children and grandchildren may be afraid." But if the children and grandchildren are dead, when the old people see each other again, they should be more happy than afraid. ”

I nodded and said, "That makes sense. Then I looked at the two of them strangely: "When did you two become so kind?" Helping people everywhere? ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Isn't this for the remnant immortals?" In order to uncover his old background, we have to come to such a hand. ”

I asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?" What does it have to do with the remnant immortals? ”

Mr. Lu said, "You lent Yangshou to the child for a day. He has not done you any wrong, and has told us the days of his birth and death. Wait until tomorrow when you stick this thing to your body, and then you can pretend to be a short-lived ghost. ”.!

Mr. Lu said as he handed me a yellow talisman paper. I saw a symbol drawn on it, and at the bottom, a few numbers were written.

Mr. Lu explained: "The child died early and did not live for many years. I combined his date of birth and death, and then combined with your birthday, and it took the boss's strength to draw this talisman. After you wear it on your body, ordinary people can't see it, but in the eyes of connoisseurs, it will create a false impression that you are a short-lived ghost. He is about to die. ”

I was shocked: "So amazing? ”

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "It's just a trick, it's just a trick." ”

Then he sighed again and said, "Actually, the old lady who was a good teacher that day was right, there are indeed peerless masters in this world, and the charms they draw have the ability to swallow the heavens and destroy the earth. If you let this kind of person draw the talisman, it will not be a trick. A spell hitting you can really shorten your yang lifespan by decades. ”

I was a little frightened when I heard this, and I couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever seen such a peerless master?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "Peerless, it means that it is extinct in the earthly world. Perhaps he lived in seclusion and did not meet the laity. I've never seen it, I've only seen it in the classics. However, that kind of record has always been exaggerated and cannot be believed. ”
