Chapter 20: The Human Soul
At first, I thought it was my delusion, but when I put my hand on Ke Meng's pulse again, a phenomenon that made me tremble and chill really appeared in my perception, Ke Meng in front of me really had no pulse, and her limbs were still tingling with a piercing coldness. This coldness is a little unbearable even for me who has touched the body temperature of a ghoul.
Ke Meng's current state is really no different from a ghost. But Ke Meng in front of him didn't seem to be able to speak, even if he opened his mouth, he didn't make any sound from his mouth. And her face wasn't as thin or blood-soaked as any of the goblins I've ever seen, what was going on?
Confused, I turned around and went back to the room and dragged out Wu Jiu, who was busy drawing talismans. And I suddenly interrupted his process, Wu Jiu's expression suddenly became angry, and he raised his hand and wanted to hit me, but at this moment, he suddenly saw Ke Meng standing outside the door.
After a while, a strange aura permeated Wu Jiu's face, followed by Wu Jiu's nervous jump backwards for a distance, and constantly pointed at Ke Meng in front of me with his hand, and said timidly: "This, who is this thing?" How did it end up here? ”
"She's my classmate, and I'm still weird when she came to me just now! But when I touched her arm, not only did she not have a pulse, but her body was extremely cold. But I don't think she's a ghost, Uncle Wu, can you help me see what's going on? Looking at Wu Jiu's nervous appearance, I couldn't help but be a little surprised and amused.
As a qui dao, he is naturally well-informed, not to mention ordinary ghosts, even some resentful ghosts and monsters will not have any timidity. But why did the woman beside me, who had not yet been determined whether it was a human or a ghost, scare him like this?
"You, you just touched her body? Quick, put your hand out and show me. Wu Jiu stepped forward quickly, dragged me away from Ke Meng, and then spread my hands, looked up and down, and then said in surprise: "No, with your Taoism, you have touched her arms, these hands should be wasted, but you don't have any reaction now, why is this?" ”
"Uncle Wu, what are you talking about? Tell me, what's wrong with Ke Meng? Looking at Wu Jiu's weird appearance, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I pulled my hand back violently, and then yelled at Wu Jiu angrily.
I don't know if Wu Jiu became serious because of my roaring relationship, or for some reason. Then he pointed to Ke Meng, who was not far away, with his palm that had already been tanned by the sun, and explained in a low voice: "The state of your friend, in our sacrificial realm, should be called a human spirit, this kind of thing, neither human nor ghost, neither demon nor monster. Such a person is rich and rich in life, and when he dies, he will become a scourge. It stands to reason that human beings should live to be one or two hundred years old, so you don't have to worry about your friend, she should be out of her body. ”
"Why is the age of human beings so long?" I seemed to hear the key point, so I asked without hesitation.
"The precursor of the human spirit, the person who received it, was transformed into a human being because he was unwilling to obey the constraints of the heavenly realm. Therefore, once such people become adults, they will be rich and noble, and their souls will not be suppressed in the underworld after death. Therefore, if they are allowed to die according to the laws of nature, once the resentment in their bodies accumulates, they will transform into devils, then it is not as easy to deal with ghosts" As he spoke, Wu Jiu's expression became a lot more nervous, and a faint layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, Confucius was an enlightened man, and he did not spread his thoughts all over the world during his lifetime, so this became his regret, and after his death he begged the Ten Temples of Yama to let him return to the world to fulfill this wish. But at that time, how could Yama casually let the people who had been in the earth return to the yang world, so he agreed to veto Confucius's wishes. Later, in a fit of rage, Confucius turned into a human spirit and turned the entire underworld upside down. I don't know what happened after that. However, through this incident, it can be deduced how powerful the power of the human spirit is. The words became choked up a lot, and Wu Jiu explained a few words softly.
After that, Wu Jiu pointed at Ke Meng, and immediately teased me: "You have such a powerful classmate, why are you bothering me?" ”
"Uncle Wu, don't tease me, let's see how to let her soul go back, didn't you say that her soul is very powerful, so if you let her stay outside, something big will happen at that time, what should I do?" From Wu Jiu's words just now, I can know that the power of human spirits is already strong enough to turn the underworld upside down, so if I don't let Ke Meng's soul return to my body as soon as possible at this moment, if something happens, it will be a sensation.
"Her soul is only out of her body now because she was greatly frightened, so when her body is almost recovered, she will recall her soul on its own." As soon as Wu Jiu's words fell, I immediately noticed that Ke Meng's soul not far away from me was gradually fading, and with the blowing of the wind, it turned into a white light and flew away in the corridor not far away.
"Look, isn't she gone? Alright, boy, don't waste time, hurry up and help me hold the gate, don't disturb me, I'm going to draw the talisman quickly. Helplessly patting my forehead, Wu Jiu turned around and entered the house and closed the door tightly.
The moment the door closed, the entire building was plunged into endless darkness. Although this house has just been renovated, the design in the corridor is quite unreasonable. Not only are there no voice-activated lights at night, but there are no windows on the sides of the stairway. As a result, every night, this area will be plunged into a darkness where you can't see your fingers.
Darkness always evokes that fear in people's hearts, and I'm no exception. In this case, I always have a hairy feeling in my heart. Helpless, I had to turn around and knock on Wu Jiu's door.
But the moment I raised my arm, I suddenly felt a pair of murderous eyes staring at me in the darkness nearby. The feeling was as unbearable as if I was being watched, and in a strange way, I turned on the light of my phone and shone into the darkness behind me.
I saw that the moment the light appeared, the darkness behind me immediately receded, followed by a ghost baby face filled with black gas, green eyes, and terrifying fangs, but it appeared in mid-air only a few inches away from my face.
Suddenly seeing this thing, I couldn't help but panic a little in my heart, I only felt my legs go weak, and my body involuntarily fell towards the door behind me. The light of the phone, as my body moved, suddenly went out.
"Stinky boy, you are really good, you can actually find a way to deal with me, I really underestimate you. Since he wants to take my life, then I don't have to worry about anything, I'll clean you up first. At the moment when the light disappeared, a strange sneer accompanied by a hoarse voice slowly floated from the darkness not far away, and the strong killing intent contained in the words already made me feel a heavy oppressive force.
Frightened, I didn't know how to keep myself safe, so I had no choice but to shout, but I didn't realize that every time I shouted, I would help the spirit child to find my place in the dark. After a few attempts, the Spirit Child was able to pinpoint my location and pounced on me with his sharp claws.
"Boy, stop struggling uselessly." As soon as the spirit child's hoarse words appeared, a strong wind appeared in front of me, and along with the strong wind came a sharp claw strike that could easily kill me.
But who knows, the moment the spirit baby's claws touched me, a dazzling light burst out from my neck, hitting the spirit baby's face, followed by the spirit baby's body and retreating violently, until the back was against the wall, and then slowly stopped.
Although these movements occurred in a few seconds, I somehow saw it very clearly, and even the expression of the spirit baby changed every second, and I could see it all. However, now is not the time for me to pay attention to this, now is the most important thing to escape.
Standing up, I knocked on the door of Wu Jiu's room and shouted loudly: "Uncle Wu, come out quickly, if you don't come out, I will die." My master is for you to protect me, not for you to harm me. ”
"Boy, your Uncle Wu and I won't be so inhumane." Just as my cursed words sounded, Wu Jiu's door finally opened. Suddenly, a blinding light burst out of the room and illuminated the area in front of me. Immediately afterwards, Wu Jiu, who was dressed in a light yellow robe, slowly walked out of the room with a large handful of runes in his hand.
"Evil beast, I don't provoke you, but you want to deal with my people, it seems that you can't keep you today." Glancing viciously at the spirit infant who was leaning against the wall in front of him, Wu Jiu's face turned cold, and after a while, countless runes flew out of Wu Jiu's hand like arrows.
I don't know if it's because the spirit baby is powerless to dodge, or because Wu Jiu threw it accurately and looked at the accuracy of his runes, the dozens of runes were all attached to the spirit baby's body.
Smiling complacently, Wu Jiu pointed with his sword in his hand, and chanted the spell. Not long after, a burst of long-lost rune cracking sounds undoubtedly appeared on the body of the spirit baby, causing large black holes to appear on the thin body of the spirit baby. As for the blood that had turned black due to the long-term erosion of Yin Qi, it was also oozing out along the wound of the spirit infant at this moment.
I was thinking about how difficult this spirit baby should be to deal with, but the result in front of him was that Wu Jiu couldn't help but dispel the previous years. With a bold reluctance, Wu Jiu turned around and began to praise me endlessly about his strength.
But before Wu Jiu's words could be spoken, he was stopped by a sudden movement from me: "Uncle Wu, behind you, that spirit baby is behind you, riding on your neck." ”
