Chapter 182: Burning Trees and Killing Demons (Long)
People always die, Zhang Yunsheng thought about this a long time ago. Because he has seen countless ghosts with yin and yang eyes since he was a child, death is not such a terrible thing in Zhang Yunsheng's eyes.
Zhang Yunsheng knew that death was just a different way of living. But when he really had to face death, Zhang Yunsheng realized that he was still afraid of death. But fortunately, now with He Yuyan as his companion, Huangquan Road should not be lonely.
The dryad increased the strength on the vine by a few points, and this force was completely beyond the range that Zhang Yunsheng could bear, and he knew that he would soon die because of his waist being broken.
When he was studying before, Zhang Yunsheng saw in a book that there was a punishment called beheading. This is a punishment that will only be used against some people who commit the most heinous crimes or who the emperor thinks are extremely evil, but Zhang Yunsheng has never seen how this kind of punishment is carried out. After all, it is now the era of civilization, and even the capital is gone, let alone the waist.
However, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, this can't stop Zhang Yunsheng from making up for it by himself. The first time Zhang Yunsheng knew about waist slashing was when he was in junior high school. At that time, he saw that the history books talked about the Han Dynasty's minister Chao Cuo being beheaded, but what the beheading looked like was not described in the book. At that time, Zhang Yunsheng was younger than now, and his curiosity was much greater than this.
When he asked all the adults and couldn't get the essentials, suddenly one day Zhang Yunsheng knew what it was like.
It was an early winter night, on a road that had just finished snowing. Zhang Yunsheng, who had finished self-study at night, casually kicked the snow on the side of the road and walked in the direction of home on the other.
The road is slippery and the snow is deep. But Zhang Yunsheng was not in a hurry, after all, such a heavy snow is rare.
When Zhang Yunsheng came to an intersection, he stopped, because the red light was already on. An idler like Zhang Yunsheng naturally stopped honestly. But some people are in a hurry, refusing to wait even half a minute.
The accident was caused by a large Yellow River cart loaded with stones, although it was not fast. But on this kind of snow, I want to stop the car. How easy is it to say?
The blood on the ground was very bright red on the white snow. Zhang Yunsheng watched as the middle-aged uncle climbed out from under the wheel, but only half of his body climbed out. Behind him dragged a long trail of blood, and his remaining limbs and partially crushed internal organs were faintly visible on the wheels.
I'm used to seeing ghosts. But it was the first time I had seen such a bloody scene up close. Zhang Yunsheng pushed the car and took a few steps back. Dodged the arm that the middle-aged uncle grabbed from him, it wasn't that Zhang Yunsheng didn't want to save this man, but he knew that this person didn't have long to live.
Zhang Yunsheng was born on that snowy night and experienced many firsts in his life. First time seeing a car accident. It's the first time I've seen such blood, the first time I've seen what a halve is, and it's the first time I've seen a real ghost.
Although the onicha could not be said to have blue-faced fangs, just by looking at their pale faces and slightly sticking out their tongues, they already knew that they were not alive.
Zhang Yunsheng guessed from the spirit flags in their hands that these people might be ghosts who came to lock their souls. However, this middle-aged man is just an insignificant little person after all, so he has not been able to alarm such a big person as the bull head and horse face or the black and white impermanence.
Because of the first time he saw a ghost, Zhang Yunsheng didn't rush to leave here. Just stood quietly to the side, watching how they brought the man's soul back to the underworld. After all, everyone's lifespan is clearly remembered in the life and death book of Lord Hades. If it weren't for the fact that this person would die here and now, the judge would not have ticked it off the book of life and death. He won't send a ghost to fetch him, after all, the underworld is also very busy.
Zhang Yunsheng waited aside, watched the driver come down and take a look, and then hurriedly got into the car. Zhang Yunsheng didn't know whether the driver wanted to save people or escape, but out of a sense of justice, Zhang Yunsheng rolled up a snowball from the ground and threw it towards the glass of the Yellow River.
As the snowball smashed through the glass, the driver on the Yellow River looked and saw a boy standing across the road. There was a hint of suspicion on his face, but he eventually got out of the car. Then he walked over and said to Zhang Yunsheng: "Little brother, you can see it." It's not bad for me, it's the red light he ran through. ”
Zhang Yunsheng didn't look at the driver and didn't listen to his complaints. just indifferently pointed to a small shop on the street: "There is a public phone in that store, you go and call the police." ”
Most people didn't have a cell phone back then. The driver looked at Zhang Yunsheng. Then he saw the small shop on the side of the street, and someone had already walked out of the store because of the wailing of a middle-aged man. The driver knew that he would not be able to run away if he wanted to, so he stomped his foot and sighed, and then walked towards the small shop.
During this time, the middle-aged man had been wailing, otherwise he would not have alarmed the people on the other side of the street. He said to Zhang Yunsheng several times during this period: "Little brother." You've seen it, and you've got to prove that he hit me. ”
Zhang Yunsheng knew that this man would definitely die, and he knew that no matter how much he comforted this man, it was in vain. Therefore, Zhang Yunsheng just stood aside, waiting for the ghost to come forward and lock his soul. But although this man screamed badly, he would never die for a while.
Until the police came, the ambulance came, and the man was still not dead. Zhang Yunsheng watched the man being lifted into the ambulance, and watched the ghost follow the doctor helplessly and get into the ambulance and sit down, he knew that he had waited all night in vain. I don't mind the surprised look in the ghost's eyes, but I can't follow the ambulance. After all, the ghosts are invisible, and the doctor can't see them. Zhang Yunsheng is a living person, if he follows to get into the car, it will be eye-catching.
After that, Zhang Yunsheng was severely punished by the old man for a while because of this incident. Not because he couldn't save him when he saw death, but because he attracted the attention of the onicha. The old man said to him, "You kid is really nonsense, don't you know that there is a saying that curiosity kills a cat?" The ghost sends a case to handle the case, and the living avoid it. They weren't sure if you were looking at them or the dying person, or you wouldn't be able to get out of it. ”
Zhang Yunsheng didn't take the old man's words to heart, but the poor middle-aged man gave him a nightmare for a long time. Every time in his dreams, he stretched out his hand to Zhang Yunsheng for help, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "You have to prove it to me." ”
Although he knew that the man's soul had been locked away by the ghost, Zhang Yunsheng later went to that intersection and recited a mantra to the man. After that, the man did not appear again in Zhang Yunsheng's dream, but Zhang Yunsheng really knew what it meant to be cut in half. Knowing that beheading is a heavier punishment than beheading, not because it is more painful, but because it is longer. (To be continued.) )
