Chapter 033: Dead Man

"I think I know." Listening to what he said, I remembered a well-known story about a ghost blowing a lamp.

It is said that on the shoulders and above the head of a person, there are a total of three flames that cannot be seen by the naked eye, those flames represent the fortune and life of a person, once the flame is extinguished, the life of the person is over, but in the strange ghosts, there is such a lack of virtue that likes to attack it.

When I was very young, the elders of the family said that if someone called your name behind your back in the middle of the night, don't look back, if you look back, this little life is over. Generally speaking, if you ignore it, it can't do anything, if it really pesters you, you can dispel it by blowing hard with your eyes closed, but these are all jokes at the time, is it really such a thing?

"Well, that's pretty much what you know." After listening to my retelling, Jin Jiuye nodded, "I heard that you people like to call it Samadhi True Fire. ā€

"Yes, that's what everyone calls it back home." After thinking about it for a moment, I said.

"Then do you know what this samadhi true fire looks like?" Taking a puff of his cigarette, Jin Jiuye asked rhetorically.

"Where do I know, for dozens of days, I didn't believe this thing was real." With a wry smile, I said again.

"People don't believe it because they haven't seen it, but you don't believe it, but there are some reasons. I tell you, actually, I paid attention to you for a long time before you came here. Don't you wonder why you were chosen by that unusually picky newspaper editor, well, yes, it was my arrangement from beginning to end. ā€

"Your arrangement? But why did you bite like that? I was puzzled to hear him say that.

"Do you remember what I said? You asked me why I chose you to come to me to help, how did I answer you? ā€

"You said that I am suitable for this, and the fact that I was plagued by that cat-faced female corpse and didn't die proves that I am this material." Shrugging my shoulders, I said.

"Well, that's right, that's one of the reasons, in fact, there's another factor in it."

"What reason?"

"You're very different from everyone else."

"I don't understand." Frowning slightly, I said.

"Hehe, I know you don't understand very well, let me tell you this, in a certain way, 99.9999 percent of the people in this world are exactly the same, they have three pillars of fire on their bodies, here, here, and here" Jiu Ye said, pointing to his shoulders and the top of his head, "These three flames have three colors, Fu Huo Red, Lu Huo Qing, Shou Huo Huang, the better the person, the heavier the color of the three fires, and the flames are relatively vigorous, like him is an example." The Ninth Master said, pointing to the little black fat man who was leaning on the side to bandage himself, "This kid is born to be a blessed and fateful master, no matter how he gets it, in the past, it was very suitable for him to do this business, but you are different from him, your situation is very special." ā€

"You're saying that my three flames are very weak, low in pips, and unlucky?" Thinking about what happened recently, I asked him with a frown.

"No, you don't have any real fire on your shoulders." Jin Jiuye said, looking at me deeply.

"What do you mean by that?" I looked at him in amazement, I said.

"As I said, you don't have a real fire on you. You're surprised, actually, I'm just like you, I can't even believe my eyes, I have asked a lot of seniors in the industry, and they all say that this kind of situation has never happened in the past few decades, and theoretically, only corpses that have been dead for a long time will be like this. ā€

"But I'm still alive, you see, and I can still bleed." As I spoke, I lifted the wound to show him, and as I said that, my mind was already very bottomless.

"That's not necessarily, just because you're not dead doesn't mean you're alive." Jin Jiuye said, looking into the distance as if he was scheming, "You may not know, in this world, there are many ways to borrow your life, and it is likely that you can survive until now because some masters we don't know are helping you." ā€

", Ninth Master, let's not make trouble, I'll be scared if you say that again." A chill down my spine, I said.

"Hehe, you don't have to be afraid, since you can live until now, at least it proves that you are safe for the time being. Moreover, people like you are most suitable for our kind of work, have you ever wondered why that female ghost can live in peace with you even though she tosses Xiao Hei enough? Don't be narcissistic, it's not because you're handsome that she treats you differently, because you're like her, you don't have three fires on your shoulders, and people with strong yin and yang qi don't pose any threat to her. ā€

"I'm cĒŽo!" As soon as I heard this, I was hit again, and after learning that I was being used as a hand warmer, I realized that I was still being treated as a kind of female ghost.

"Haha." The little black fat man sitting on the side looked at it and laughed.

"Laugh at your sister, laugh!" I was very upset to see him like this.

"I'm willing, can you handle it? But don't be too angry, the ninth master told me that you can still be saved in this situation, don't you recognize you as the master of that iron knife, it's not so easy to die. Gloating, baring his big teeth, the little black fat man glanced at Jin Jiuye with bad intentions.

"He's right, maybe, this is your creation, that knife is actually an artifact left in the world, it is said to have been handed down by Zhang Tianshi, as for how to use it, I don't know, but, according to my father, in the past hundred years, only my grandfather can control it, with it, even people who don't have any ability will give birth to three points of divine power, you, just have a life, it's okay to steal fun."

"Damn, it's really fake, so it's mine?"

Subconsciously spread out my palm, and the short knife immediately appeared in my palm.

"What if I don't give it to you, it's not so easy for me to take it back now, it's all running into your bones, what do you let me do? However, if you really don't like it, you can also tell me, and I'll see if I can ask the patriarch to take him back. Jin Jiuye said, making a gesture to rob, and when I heard it, I quickly put my hand behind my back, "Don't, how can I hand over a treasure so easily!" Why don't you do a good deed and give me that gossip mirror. ā€

"Whew!" When Jin Jiuye heard this, his face immediately changed, and a chestnut hit me on the head and said dissatisfiedly: "That gossip mirror is my family's treasure, you don't have to worry about it!" Besides, you are neither the reincarnation of the spirit child nor a disciple of Maoshan, even if you get it, it is useless, work hard, or do less daydreaming! ā€
