Chapter 2: Difficult Choices
Hearing this, I was shocked, but I tried to keep calm on my face and said, "I don't understand what you say, if there is nothing else, I will leave." ”
After saying that, I was in a state of confusion and left step by step. I was a little hesitant and a little regretful, I wondered if I was doing the right thing, and would it really cost me my life?
I didn't walk a few steps when I heard the Taoist priest talking to himself, in a very loud voice, as if he had deliberately said it to me. He said that it was a pity, he was young, but he killed himself, and he really answered a sentence, if he didn't do it, he wouldn't die.
I turned around and looked at him, for a long time. Later, I thought that maybe it was the ** of survival, which stopped me in my tracks.
Do you want to live or die? He asked me very directly.
I said, if you want to live, no one wants to die.
Then kill him, and then report it to the underworld, and tell them that you are because the person is stained with blood and you have recognized the wrong person, so that the disaster can be resolved.
I hesitated, and after a long silence, I shook my head and said that it was impossible, that since I had chosen to save him, I would never do such a thing.
The Taoist priest sighed and said, Do you know that he may also become a vegetative person if he survives? You let him live in such pain, not to save him, but to harm him. I have already calculated, he was ordinary in his life, he was reincarnated in the underworld, and he was a good man eighteen years later, you tortured him so much, and you hurt yourself.
I said, have you ever thought about his family, although he can be relieved when he leaves, but what will happen to his family? They don't know that there is an afterlife, all they care about is this life, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up.
I resolutely walked away, and the Taoist priest was stunned in the back, as if he was recalling my words, and did not say anything more.
When I arrived at the hospital, I inquired about Geng Ming's ward, and when I arrived, I found that his parents and relatives were crowded into the ward, and he was wearing an oxygen mask and unconscious. Geng Ming's family background is not bad, he is an only child, he is very righteous and sincere, although we are not brothers, but I think he is closer to me than brothers.
When his mother saw me, tears flowed down her eyes, and she was choked up and speechless, and I persuaded her that Geng Ming would get better, but I didn't dare to say anything more when I thought that the Taoist priest told me that he might become a vegetative person.
I watched him silently, and when his relatives and friends were gone, I asked how Geng Ming was doing. His father seemed to be much older, and he sighed and told me that he had suffered a severe blow to the head and probably couldn't sleep.
Sure enough, the Taoist priest said it, I really don't know where he came from. I was speechless, but my heart was echoing the words of the taster.
It didn't take long for the woman inside the KTV to come. When Geng Ming's mother saw this woman, she was immediately angry, crying and scolding her for being a mourning star, I had never seen that woman, and it should have been Geng Ming's acquaintance later.
The woman lowered her head and said nothing, I sat diagonally across from her, and I could see her tears falling down, and I secretly said in my heart, this girl should be fine.
I pulled her out and walked side by side in the hallway of the hospital. I asked her what was going on.
She told me with red eyes. She called Mu Xue and Geng Ming met on a rainy day, Geng Ming was very good, seeing that she didn't bring an umbrella, he lent her umbrella to her, but he was drenched in the rain, and then met again, they both felt that each other was very good, and gradually walked together, last night was the first time they went out to play.
Originally, everything was fine, maybe today the two of them will change from friends to lovers, but they don't want Mu Xue to be molested by those bad social elements on the way to the bathroom, and even do their tricks. Mu Xue was very scared and struggled to run back to the private room, and those people also followed.
I can guess what happened after that, the hero saved the beauty, but the hero is now lying in bed unconscious. The disaster of innocence is really the disaster of innocence!
As soon as I wanted to speak, I felt a pat on the back. I turned around and saw the Taoist priest baring his teeth at me.
What do you come to do, I ask?
He said that I like your personality very much, this kind of fun thing, how can I be without me.
Seeing Mu Xue's strange eyes, I knew that she had misunderstood.
Sending Mu Xue away, the Taoist priest followed me closely, chattering next to me, I pretended not to care, but in fact listened intently to his words. He said that in three days at most, my affairs will be revealed, and every ghost will be reflected in this life by the Sansheng Stone, and then he will be seen through, and a great disaster will come.
I interjected and said, is there any way to crack it, except to kill Geng Ming.
He smiled mysteriously and said that if you put it on others, it will definitely not be, but if you are there, then say it separately.
I said don't blow it, is there any way to say it and listen to it? He glared at me and said that he would not tell me if he did not ask him to talk to him.
I think his personality is very much like a child, and I thought he was a peerless master, but if he can know my affairs, he must be extraordinary.
I walked with him all the way to my house. As soon as I arrived at the door, I was about to open the door, but he grabbed me, I looked at him suspiciously, but saw that he looked serious.
What's wrong? I asked
He put his finger to his mouth and motioned for me to be silenced. Then he took out a yellow talisman from his bosom, I couldn't read the words on the talisman, and there were words in his mouth, and I heard a few of the words "the sky is clear and the earth is clear" and "the god is holy".
Then he waved the sleeve of his robe and threw the yellow talisman out, and to my astonished gaze, his yellow talisman pierced through the door and into the room.
"Bang Dang"
I heard the sound of something tipping over, and my heart couldn't help but move, could it be someone in my room?
Half a minute later, he patted me and said okay, he had been chased away.
I asked him what it was. He said you'll find out when you go in.
I opened the door and looked up, there was chaos in the room, as if it had been patronized by a thief, I looked around, and when I saw the wall inside, I was stunned.
A few words are written on the wall, violating the code, the sin deserves death, and repentance as soon as possible can live.
My heart was heavy, and when I saw the Taoist priest's clear look, I said, didn't you say that you would only find out after three days? How do you know now?
He said that one day in the world, one month in the ground, isn't it just a few hours?
I don't believe it, it's the same as if you went down to the underworld. He laughed and said nothing, I was surprised and said that you really went down?
He raised his eyebrows and said You better take care of yourself, the person who came is not someone else, it is the same yang world ghost as you, but there are some Taoism, this is just to give you a wake-up call, and then he will attack you, of course, not only you have to die, but your friend can't keep it either.
He paused and asked me, do you think it's worth it?
I was silent, in fact, I already regretted it a little.
What is the underworld? In charge of life and death in the world, I am a mortal, so what to fight for them? Even if it's a poor ghost, but so what? All this is given by the underworld, and it is not a matter of minutes to say that it is taken back?
I whispered to him, who are you and how do you know about me?
He shook his head and said that he had already thought of me, but he had overslept after a while, and when he woke up, he found that I had been selected as a ghost, and today he calculated that I was in great trouble, so he came to help me.
I spat on him and said you can blow a hole in the sky, and then ignore him.
He was anxious and said don't believe it, wait to know how powerful he is.
I also don't go to tidy up the messy room, lie on the bed, and meditate quietly. Thinking of the unconscious Geng Ming, and thinking of his heartbroken parents, thinking of Mu Xue, and thinking of my father and mother with white temples, the tip of my nose was a little sour.
Is this fate? I thought I could make them live a good life, but if I die, will the underworld still be able to keep its promise? I'm afraid not, it's a blessing that they weren't implicated.
It was a difficult decision, and I swear that I have never been through such a difficult decision since I was born. In the end, I was given three choices, one was that I did what the Taoist priest said, and lied that I was wrong, so Geng Ming would die. The second is that I choose to fight the underworld to the end, maybe these are two lives, and he and I will die.
Third, I went to confess to the underworld and begged them to spare Geng Ming and take my life, is this considered a sacrifice of life?
I laughed at myself, originally I thought I was just a layman, adhering to the idea that a friend of the dead will not die and be poor, but I never thought that I would have the idea of sacrificing my life for others.
The Taoist priest had no heart or lungs, and lay down next to me, and after a while, he let out a faint snoring sound. I secretly said that this product is really self-cooked, I have known him for a few hours, and I am lying on the same bed, is it really fate?
In the evening, I was still lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, still undecided.
Here it comes! The Taoist priest suddenly sat up beside me, his eyes shining.
I was stunned and asked what was coming.
He said, "He who takes your life!"
