Chapter 188: Human Essence 5

"You've been like that, too?" Helian Tian asked.

Millet nodded.

"No wonder Bai Ye is so close to you." Helian Tian sighed.

Xiaomi snorted lightly and said, "It's not because we are like each other because we are both violent!" ”

"I'm sorry." Helian Tian felt speechless and hurriedly apologized.

"It's me who should say I'm sorry, you don't dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Bai, but my Bai Ye made your Mr. Bai lose face in front of the cat ghosts, and injured your Mr. Bai." Millet said apologetically.

When Mr. Bai approached Bai Ye, Helian Tian was worried about Bai Ye, and when Bai Ye ran away after scratching Mr. Bai, Helian Tian did not stop him. Xiaomi is grateful for this. So her apology is also sincere.

Helian Tian patted Xiaomi's shoulder and smiled a little lost: "It's okay." Go find the White Night, and don't let it get into trouble outside. If you get into trouble at home, as long as you admit your mistakes, your family will forgive you. It's a mess outside, but it's hard to clean up. It's violent, you have to watch it! ”

Xiaomi nodded and walked out the door to look for White Night. Xiaomi knew that the beast-like roar just now was made by the white tiger. It was precisely the White Tiger state that inspired the White Tiger state to defeat Mr. White and Mr. Night. In this state, it escapes from its home, which is as dangerous as a tiger parade through the streets.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiaomi to find Bai Ye in a lane, and Bai Ye had become the size of a tiger, and his body was no longer as black as charcoal, but black and white stripes. That's the tiger Millet saw by the pond! It was biting at a man's sleeve and dragging him away.

The man turned pale with fright, screamed and kicked his hands, but to no avail.

"White Nights! Let him go! Millet shouted.

The huge white night turned his head to look at Xiaomi and let go of his mouth. It shrunk a lot in an instant, turning back into a little black cat.

The man on the ground was lying on the ground trembling, and he was too scared to get up and run away. He turned his back to Bai Ye, and did not see Bai Ye change from a white tiger back to a black cat.

Millet stepped forward, pulled the man up from the ground, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man said his name.

"Where is your home?"

The man said a nearby location.

Millet said to him, "You follow me." ”

The man nodded and followed Xiaomi.

Millet led him to the door of a house. Millet asked, "Is your home here?" ”

The man shuddered and nodded.

Xiaomi knocks on the door.

A fat woman opened the door, saw that it was millet who knocked on the door, was puzzled, and asked, "Little girl, who are you looking for?" ”

Xiaomi asked, is this so-and-so? So-and-so was the name of the man himself.

The man stood behind Xiaomi, still trembling, as if he was wearing only a single shirt and pants in winter. He lowered his head and said nothing.

The fat woman said, "Yes." He sleeps in it, what are you looking for him? ”

Millet said, "Oh. Can I go to his room? ”

The fat woman was confused, but still took Millet into the house.

Millet turned back to the man and said, "Follow up." ”

The man immediately obediently followed.

The fat woman listened to Xiaomi, turned around, and there was no one else except a little black cat behind her, so she asked, "Little girl, who are you talking to?" ”

Millet hurriedly explained: "Oh, with my cat. I told it to come in. ”

The fat woman reached the door of a bedroom and shouted inside, "Hey, slacker! Get up! There's a little girl looking for you, and I don't know what's going on! ”

Millet turned back to the man and said, "Come in." ”

The man obediently entered the bedroom.

Seeing that there was no response in the bedroom, the fat woman walked in. Xiaomi did not follow up.

As soon as the fat woman entered, Xiaomi heard the panicked voice of a man inside: "Oops, oops!" I had a nightmare that I was dragged into the alley behind the house by a tiger and almost ate me! That mouth is bigger than our washbasin! Scared the hell out of me! ”

Millet heard the fat woman say, "You're really daydreaming!" Can the tiger still run into Baoding City? ”

The man's voice said, "You don't know how real that dream is!" Luckily, a little girl suddenly appeared and saved my life! Or I'll be eaten by a tiger! ”

The fat woman's voice said, "Okay, okay, even if you are eaten by a tiger in your dream, you will still be alive when you wake up!" I didn't really eat you! ”

The man's voice said, "It's just like the real thing!" I thought I was going to die in my dreams! Never had such a real dream! Hey, look, my hands and feet are still shivering! ”

The fat woman's voice said impatiently: "Okay, okay, there's a little girl out there looking for you, I don't know." Hurry up and take a look. ”

"Little girl? Could it be that my dream is a sign that a little girl is coming to me? Oops, my feet ......"

"What's wrong with your feet?"

"When I was dragged away by a tiger in my dream, my foot was bruised."

The fat woman's voice became even more impatient: "Is there an end?" How can you break your feet while sleeping in bed? If you hurt in your dream, do you really hurt it? Hurry up! ”

"It really hurts. Oops, oops, hiss......" Finally, the sound of a man's teeth clenching and inhaling.

Millet left the house without waiting for the man to come out. She knew that the person who was bitten by the white night just now was actually the soul of this man.

Millet walked away from there as she touched the fur of the white night.

White Night used to eat the souls of the dead, but it was the first time that the souls of the living were taken away.

Millet had heard her grandfather say that the soul of the dead is like a wanderer without a place to live, and the soul of the living is like a master who lives in a high-rise building. The revenant wanders around, and unless he is strong, he is easily bullied; The soul of a living person is different, it is protected by a house, and it is difficult for other people or spirits to hurt it.

Of course, a sojourning soul does not mean that you can rest easy. Some people or ghosts with a fairly good level of cultivation are able to reach the realm of "seizing the relinquishment". People or ghosts who have cultivated to this realm can take the physical bodies of others and station their own souls. This is different from possession, which is mostly to do something with the help of someone else's body, and to take it is an act of forcible seizure.

The physical body is like a soul dwelling house, so this act is called "taking away".

This is a state that is extremely difficult to achieve.

Bai Ye had just completely completed half of the "seizure" - driving out the original soul in the body. It did not take possession of the man's flesh on its own.

It's only half of it, but it's already remarkable.

Xiaomi said to Bai Ye in his arms: "Bai Ye, we can't hurt people indiscriminately, we only punish those who deserve to be punished, you know?" ”

White Night narrowed his eyes, and his stomach growled.

"In the future, you are not allowed to come to Mr. Bai and Mr. Ye, they are your parents after all." Millet preached.

White Night's stomach growled again.

Almost on the same day, Zhao Xianyun of Thrush Village had a dream while dozing off at home. She dreamed that she was standing at the door of her house and saw her grandfather walking from the old river to the house from the distance. There is also a figure beside Grandpa, vague and unclear.

She was overjoyed to see that her grandfather had finally returned from afar, and hurriedly ran out of the house to meet her grandfather.

She met her grandfather on the avenue with ponds on both sides. She happily shook her grandfather's hand, tears pouring out of her eyes like water bursting from the embankment.

There was a woman standing next to my father. Zhao Xianyun thought it was millet, but millet was not so high. Zhao Xianyun wanted to see the woman's face, but he couldn't see it clearly.

Grandpa held her hand and said, "What are you crying about?" I brought you something good from afar! ”

"What's that?" Zhao Xianyun asked.

Grandpa retracted his hand, fumbled in his pocket for a while, and then stretched out his fist in front of Zhao Xianyun.

Zhao Xianyun spread out his palms and placed them under his father's fist.

As soon as Daddy's fist loosened, several small things fell on Zhao Xianyun's palm. Zhao Xianyun saw that it was seven jujube cores.

Zhao Xianyun was puzzled: "You brought these seven jujube cores from afar?" Where are the jujube cores gone, why did you bring them here from so far away? ”

Grandpa smiled and said, "You gave me seven jujube cores, and I have to give you seven jujube cores." ”

Zhao Xianyun was uneasy in his heart and said: "I heard you say that two people can be together because who owed whom in the previous life, and who is here to repay the debt in this life." If the debt is not repaid, no matter how noisy it is, it will not be separated. Once the debt is repaid, it will be separated without noise or noise. ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "That's what I said." ”

Zhao Xianyun's heart was sour, and tears almost filled his eyes. She said sadly: "So, I gave you seven date cores, and you have returned them all to me now, so our fate will end here?" As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help crying.

Grandpa hugged her and didn't speak.

Zhao Xianyun cried and said: "Even if our fate is only so many as seven jujube cores, so shallow, I beg you not to return them all to me so quickly, okay?" You'll pay me back a year, okay? ”

Daddy nodded.

Although her father agreed to her request, she still cried sadly. She doesn't resent her father, she resents herself, and hates herself for why she didn't give her father a lot of jujube cores in the first place.

She wrapped her arms around her father, her face pressed against her father's shoulder, and her tears wet her clothes.

She cried until she woke up and found her face on the back of the bamboo chair. It was the chair that Daddy used to use when he was in Thrush Village. When his father was away, Zhao Xianyun often half lay on it.

When Luo Buzhai entered the door, he saw Zhao Xianyun with tears on his face, he was startled, and asked what happened, whether Ma Xiucai wrote a letter back to report bad news.

Zhao Xianyun shook his head and said the dream he had.

After listening to this, Luo Buzhai said with a smile, it's just a dream, don't take it to heart.
