Chapter 1: The Ghost Wisher
In August, although the weather is not cold, it is not scorching. Why www.biquge.info Liu Xinlin felt so painful when the sun shone on his body? However, the pedestrians on the road are fine, just stay away from themselves.
"Demons! In broad daylight, you dare to bring disaster to the world! Look at Lao Tzu and don't accept you! Tyre! Before Liu Xinlin could react, he was slapped on the head by a sloppy old man who came out of nowhere, and his mouth opened, but the words did not come out and he fainted.
When his consciousness was not completely blurred, Liu Xinlin heard the angry voice of the bad old man: "Hey, old ghost, this is what I caught~~"
"Old beggar, he's a good fit!"
……
The warm sunlight woke up the sleeping Zhizhi, and Zhizhi was chirping hard.
Liu Xinlin was woken up by the hard work, shook his head a little heavy, and couldn't figure out how he could be knocked unconscious by an old man? Is...... It's a shame.
"Hey, I don't want to, anyway, I've been unlucky these days, so I just don't go out." Liu Xinlin was depressed when he thought of what he had encountered every day in the past two days. First, while repairing the car, it was knocked off for no reason. went home to recuperate, came out to take a walk, but was knocked out by an old man.
Liu Xinlin even felt that there was something wrong with his body and it was time to exercise.
"Are you awake?" While Liu Xinlin was thinking nonsense, a silver-haired old man walked in with a bowl of decoction in his hand. However, his complexion is very good, and he walks with dragon and tiger steps, and he is very energetic.
"Hmmm! Well? Who are you?? Liu Xinlin replied subconsciously, but only then did he realize that this was his home, how did he get in?
"Me? Hehe, a bad old man, everyone else calls me an old ghost, so you can call me a ghost master. The old man, who called himself a ghost master, laughed.
Liu Xinlin remembered that the old man's voice seemed to be the old man who saved him before he fainted.
"Uh, ghost master, did you save me?" Liu Xinlin asked uncertainly.
"I didn't expect you to remember. That's right, I saved you from the old beggar. The ghost master nodded, handed the decoction in his hand to Liu Xinlin, and said, "You can drink this, calm your nerves!" You are taken aback by the old beggar's sudden surprise, drink this just right. ”
Liu Xinlin did not hesitate, took the decoction, and drank it in one go, "Whew~" Liu Xinlin exhaled.
"Huh? Aren't you afraid that I will drug you? The ghost master was curious about Liu Xinlin's move.
"Hurt me? Ghost Master, if you're going to harm me, I'm afraid I'm not at home right now, right? Liu Xinlin said with a smile.
"Haha, good, good, good! It's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The ghost master stroked his same silver-white beard and laughed.
"Ghost Master, who is that old beggar?" Liu Xinlin asked his own questions.
"Well, it's going to start with you." The ghost master's face suddenly became serious.
"Myself?" Liu Xinlin didn't understand.
"Hmmm! Didn't you notice something unusual about yourself? The ghost master did not answer Liu Xinlin's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Yourself? There is nothing but some bad luck. Liu Xinlin scratched his head.
"Really? Do you feel uncomfortable being exposed to the sun? Do you feel that others are far away from you? Also, did you feel hungry these two days? The ghost master saw that Liu Xinlin couldn't think of it, so he reminded him.
"Huh? Ghost Master, how do you know? "Liu Xinlin is very strange, it seems that he hasn't said these things to others, right?
"Well, I'll tell you the truth." The ghost master shook his head and sighed.
"Uh-huh!" Liu Xinlin nodded, looking deaf.
"Actually, you died two days ago." After speaking, the ghost master glanced at Liu Xinlin, and found that Liu Xinlin didn't react much, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden. Then he said, "It's when you're repairing a car and you're hit by another car." At that time, you died. But I don't know what's going on, your soul didn't go to the underworld to be reincarnated, but stayed in the world. The soul belongs to the yin spirit, the so-called yin and yang are mutually restrained, can you not feel pain when you are exposed to the sun in the soul state? ”
The old man paused, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Also, everyone else is far away from you. You are in a state of soul and your yin energy is too strong, and normal people have strong yang energy, so they will unconsciously stay away from you. As for hunger~ Do you think dead people will be hungry? ”
Liu Xinlin didn't think that the old man was telling the truth at first, but the more he got later, the more Liu Xinlin felt that the old man's words were reasonable. However, Liu Xinlin still couldn't accept the fact that he was dead.
"Plus, it's something on you, like a sachet." The old man looked at Liu Xinlin with a thoughtful look, and handed over a sachet to Liu Xinlin.
"This? I don't remember I had a sachet! Liu Xinlin took it, looked at it, and said.
"Maybe you forgot, you may lose some memories before you die." The old man explained
"Oh!" Liu Xinlin put away the sachet, looked up and asked, "Then how did you know that I was dead?" "The ghost master has said this, and Liu Xinlin already believes it a little.
"Actually, in the red dust, there are still some unknown things. For example, ghosts and ghosts, such as true qi. None of this is accessible to people like you. The ghost master began to tell Liu Xinlin about some secret and strange things.
It turned out that in Liu Xinlin's eyes, it was originally just a supernatural story, but in fact, it really happened in our Central Plains of China.
But this source is no longer verifiable, and the ghost master only knows a little, and it is estimated that it is only the tip of the iceberg. Like King Huainan, he is a person who is about to become an immortal, so that one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Also, Pu Songling, the author of Liaozhai, also belongs to the people in that circle like the ghost master.
And these people have basically separated their positions by now. There is a ghost hunter, a ghost crosser, and a ghost wisher.
Among them, most of the ghost hunters are Taoist priests; The ghost masters are almost all monks; The ghost wish master is different from the first two, don't look at them as one catch and one crossing, but the essence is the same, that is, kill the ghost when you see it, and show no mercy. The ghost wisher, on the other hand, fulfilled the last wish of the unjust souls before they died, so that they could be reincarnated on their own.
In this way, it is not killing but also cleaning up the world, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. However, no one wants to be a ghost wisher.
The reason for this is just that it is troublesome, and it is hard work to work for the last wish of a soul, and in the end it is just a thank you and a small amount of money. And no one can remember you, not even a name. In this way, who else wants to do it?
However, it is not that no one has become a ghost wisher in history, and several are still very famous. For example, Zhuge Wuhou Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, he was a ghost wishing master, but his task was to help Liu Bei dominate the country. It's a pity that he didn't finish it in his lifetime.
There is also Bao Zheng, Bao Qingtian. It is said that he tried the living during the day, investigated the unjust ghosts at night, and helped countless unjust ghosts fulfill their last wishes. Otherwise, Bao Zheng would not be so famous. Moreover, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce next to him are ghost hunters and ghost crossers respectively, and this combination can be said to be rare in a thousand years.
The three families have their own grievances, and they don't get along with each other for old age, so it can be said that the ghost hunter and the ghost master will disagree almost as soon as they meet, and they will immediately fight. However, it is all up to the point, and it is impossible to really risk human life. After all, there are regulations on it.
And the ghost master is one of the ghost masters in the same lineage.
"Oh? Are you a ghost wisher? "Liu Xinlin still thinks that the ghost master is a ghost master.
"That's right!" The ghost master smiled bitterly, "When I was a child, I was favored by the teacher, and I have followed him to learn art since I was a child, and I went from south to north." In the end, I was cheated by the teacher once. ”
"What's the pit?" Liu Xinlin's eyes flashed with a look of discovery and gossip.
"It's nothing, it's just that I was finally told that I had become a ghost wisher, and I didn't have a choice." The ghost master laughed. Didn't look angry.
"What did I think~" Liu Xinlin shook his head in disappointment.
"Now you've figured it out? Do you want to worship me as a teacher? Seeing that the time was almost up, the ghost master asked.
"Yes! Since you haven't been a good person in your life, it's not bad to be a good ghost after you die. Liu Xinlin nodded solemnly.
"If you want, though, I have to tell you, you're not dead now."
"What? Am I not a soul anymore? Liu Xinlin realized that he had a sense of touch. I touched my arm, it was flesh. I'm not dead, I'm alive again! "Haha, great, I'm not dead yet!"
"Don't rejoice too soon!" The ghost master shook his head, and a basin of cold water poured it down. "Your soul and body are still not suitable, and you still lack an important herb - Four-Leaf Soul Grass!"
"Four-leaf soul grass? The soul and the body are not suitable? Master, what the hell is going on? Liu Xinlin is now full of questions.
"This is my favor from the old beggar. Oh, the old beggar is the one who stuns you, he's a ghost hunter, and he has no sect. He has a secret method that can return to the body of a soul that has been away for only three days, but after all, it is not so easy to go back. The ghost master sighed and said, "Although you succeeded in resurrecting you in the end, you are missing that four-leaf soul grass." ”
"What is the function of the four-leaf soul grass?"
"It's a weed that cleanses the soul and cleans the bones. You must know that if you have been in a soul state for so long, your soul must have been polluted, and if you didn't have this four-leaf soul grass, you wouldn't be able to maintain this state for long. And you want to cultivate with me, you are so old, how can you do it if you don't take some medicinal stones to recuperate? ”
"That's it! So how long can I stay in this state? ”
"Three years!"
"So long?"
"Long? It's gone in a blink of an eye. ”
"Not necessarily! Jiren has his own natural appearance, maybe I can meet that four-leaf soul grass in the future. ”
"I didn't expect you to be quite confident!" The ghost master laughed.
"That's it!"
"Okay, you can rest for a while, and tomorrow we will officially start practicing." The ghost master gave an instruction and walked out.
Liu Xinlin let out a sigh and threw himself on the bed, pillowing his hands under his head, digesting the content of what he had just said to the ghost master.
Ghost Wish Master, Ghost Hunter, Ghost Crossing Master. Is there really a ghost? But according to the ghost master, it seems that I am really dead, and now I am resurrected. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. It's a good idea to experience a new life.
Liu Xinlin put the sachet next to his pillow and fell asleep deeply.
