Chapter 150: Soul Hunter (2)
Summer was just asleep when he was interrupted by a knock on the door outside, and he got up to open the door, and complained unhappily, "Who, it's so late." ”
The moment I opened the door in the summer, the drowsiness disappeared completely, and I immediately felt refreshed. "Hey......" He waved his hand to greet the people outside the door, and standing outside his door was the woman he had met at the bar earlier, that is, the soul hunter in Hankou - Xiao.
"Look at your hue, it's almost dripping to the ground." Han said with disdain in his body.
Summer didn't take care of the cold, but still looked at Wu Xiao with a smile, and asked, "How do you know that I live here?" ”
Xiao avoided Summer's question and said, "Are you just letting my beautiful woman stand outside the door and not invite me in to sit down?" ”
As soon as Xiao's voice fell, before she could get Summer's consent, she pushed Summer away and walked straight in. Knowing that she and Han had known each other for years, Summer closed the door and let her walk to the living room and sit down.
"You didn't come to me so late to make a relationship, did you?" Summer saw Xiao's thoughts, walked across from her and asked seriously.
"Listening to the tone of your words, you seem to know me?" Xiao Jianxia nodded, and said again, "It seems that Han told you a lot about me, right?" ”
"Xiao, stop talking nonsense. Say, what do you want to do? Before Summer could answer, the cold drove Summer's body to ask angrily.
"I've heard for a long time that you can't break free when you enter a human body, and it seems to be the case today." Xiao Wei stood up and laughed, poked Summer's chest with his slender fingers, and then sarcastically, "What, is it okay to live here?" ”
"I want you to take care of it, tell me what is the matter?" The cold drove Summer's body to push Xiao's hand away and said angrily.
"Isn't it okay to talk to you about the past? We haven't seen each other in more than ten years. Xiao continued.
"It doesn't look like I and you want to catch up, so you better talk about it directly." Han replied viciously, she still remembers the events of that year vividly-
If you want to ask what generates a large number of ghosts, it is undoubtedly a war. From the cold to the present, she has experienced the change of dynasties in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Kangxi's three feudatories, the pro-conquest of Zhun Geerdan, the two Opium Wars, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Civil War of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Among them, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were countless souls who died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army, and after their deaths, the resentment was too deep, and most of them turned into ghosts and ghosts to ask for their lives from the Japanese army.
Han remembers that in the winter of 1937, a few days after the fall of Nanjing, the city with a population of millions was reduced to a dead city. Countless ghosts who died under the butcher's knives of the Japanese army turned into terrible ghosts and wandered in the city of Nanjing to ask for their lives. However, the Japanese army's murderous spirit was too heavy, and the Japanese army had bayonets in their hands to kill them, so they could not get close to the Japanese army at all, and could only wander in the south gate city all day long, so that the top of Nanjing City was always shrouded in great resentment, black and oppressive, and the smell of death was permeated everywhere.
Because there are too many ghosts, if they are not cleaned up in time, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance between the two worlds of yin and yang, so Han, as the nearest ghost, brought Xiao to assist the ghosts in Nanjing City to clean up the ghosts and ghosts.
Things went fairly smoothly at the beginning, and at that time, the relationship between Han and Xiao was okay, not like now. The reason why it was discovered like this is that it has to start from the appearance of the person named Cixuan.
Those ghosts who were slaughtered in the city of Nanjing, at least they can roam in the city of Nanjing. However, those who were raped and killed in the Japanese military camp were surrounded by a powerful murderous aura all day long, and even if they became ghosts, they could not be freed and could not break free from the cage of the Japanese army. I can only wait until the dead of night to cry out in pain and cry for my life miserably.
The hands of the Japanese soldiers were stained with blood, and when they heard such a voice, they were all terrified, and people were panicked for a while, and there was also a saying in the barracks that "unjust souls ask for their lives." In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Japanese officers specially invited the Shinto monk Tzu Xuan from Japan to exorcise ghosts in his military camp.
Shinto is a traditional ethnic religion in Japan, which is based on nature worship and is derived from shamanism and belongs to animistic polytheistic beliefs. They believed in the three gods of creation: the main god of the Heavenly Palace, the god of the High Emperor, the god of the Emperor of the gods, Izanagi, and Amaterasu, who opposed Buddhism and fought against Buddhism.
Ci Xuan is a high-ranking monk of Shintoism, driving away evil spirits and subduing demons, and his magic power is boundless. Although he was a high monk, he had no compassion, and in order for Shinto to confront Buddhism in Japan, he even helped the Japanese army to kill all the unjust ghosts trapped in the cage, and all of them were scattered.
Everywhere Cixuan went, those powerful ghosts and souls were all terrified, although they fought with their lives, but who could withstand the three artifacts in his hands, the Divine Mirror, the puppet, and the Cong Yun Sword. In those days, no matter whether it was a lonely ghost, a wild ghost, or a terrible ghost, he would kill the ghost when he saw it, and hundreds of ghosts died at his hands in just a few days.
The two worlds of yin and yang are opposites and balanced, and Ci Xuan's indiscriminate killing of innocents is undoubtedly disturbing yin and yang, and at the same time, it also affects Han's normal work. In order to maintain the balance between the two worlds of yin and yang, Han and the ghost chaye of Nanjing City decided to go to meet this Cixuan for a while.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the high-rise buildings in Nanjing City were already in ruins under the fire of the Japanese army. The whistling north wind rolled up discarded newspapers on the ground and blew against the hanging windows. Ci Xuan held a mirror in his hand and walked through the flying garbage in the sky, and walked from the end of the street, searching for the ghosts and ghosts.
Ci Xuan suddenly stopped, and a golden dazzling light shone from the divine mirror in his hand not far in front of him.
"Huh? Sure enough, there are still those who are not afraid of death. Ci Xuan whispered to himself, he looked at the place where the light fell, and saw a man and two women standing in the light, and he didn't have to think much about them being Han, Ye and Xiao. (Let's assume that Cixuan can speak Chinese, otherwise they won't be able to talk to each other later.) )
Ci Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised as he watched the three of them move in that golden light, "Since they're not afraid of my artifact?" ”
"You're Ci Xuan?" Before Ci Xuan could speak, Han pointed at Ci Xuan and asked.
"This monk is exactly." Ci Xuan replied with a Buddhist salute, and he asked rhetorically, "Are you human beings or ghosts?" Why are you safe and sound under my artifact? ”
"It doesn't matter whether we are humans or ghosts, let me ask you, you are a high-ranking monk, you should purify all sentient beings and surpass the dead, why do you want to kill innocents indiscriminately? Do you know that this move disturbs yin and yang and goes against the principles of heaven? Chill asked angrily.
"These unjust ghosts are disturbing the hearts of our army and trying to harm our army, so what does it matter if I get rid of them?" Ci Xuan said reasonably.
"If you don't commit adultery, plunder, and kill innocents, will there be so many unjust ghosts?" Xiao retorted angrily.
Xiao's words left Ci Xuan speechless, and he stayed in place for a long time before he spoke again and said viciously, "Seeing that you don't look like people, let this monk scatter your soul today." With that, he put away the Divine Mirror, pulled out the Cong Yun Sword and stuck it on the ground in front of him.
