Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Test?
"Brother Peng, your ambition is great." I don't know what to say.
Brother Peng was full of ambition: "People are born sinful, but it doesn't mean that there are no people who have not reformed badly. I will cleanse their souls one by one and return mankind to a better world. ”
I pointed to the kneeling soul on the stage and said, "Will your method be more violent and direct?" How did I feel déjà vu, so familiar. ”
Brother Peng smiled: "You are still young, you have not experienced any changes, and you can't appreciate the beauty of simplicity at all." The more straightforward it is, the more relevant and powerful it is. Not only do I let the soul of the dead criticize the soul, but in the next step, I will use the technique of ghost cultivation to guide the relatives and friends, wife and children of the soul to criticize him. If the soul is never able to let go of its past life and reflect on what it has done, then it will always suffer physical and mental torture, and will always be a lonely ghost, unable to transcend life. ”
His tone was flat, but his tone was crazy, and I always felt that something was wrong. I muttered, "Brother Peng, why do you want to paint those hell paintings? ”
"Oh? How do you know about the Dao? "He looked at me.
I told me how I had gone into the trickery twice and saw him draw a picture of hell. Brother Peng smiled: "I thought it was Ma Danlong who made trouble, but I didn't expect it to be you." It's a good thing, it shows that you're the one I need. That tricky painting is made up of the convergence of yin and evil, and has the ability to pass through yin and yang. In that painting, I was practicing through the underworld. As for drawing a picture of hell, it's part of my soul refining. These are all ghost cultivation techniques, and they are also Xia worm language ice to tell you, there is no need to say it, and I can't understand it. ”
"But, I once saw you drawing my ......"
Brother Peng looked at me: "Do you know why I asked you to come here?" ”
I shook my head.
Brother Peng said word by word: "You are very special. Some of my spells don't work for you, you're like an insulator that won't be infested by evil. You can recall your experience, whether you have encountered many unimaginable things with twists and turns, but until now you are still intact. If you change people, you will have a serious illness if you don't die. ”
I scratch my head, is that a good thing?
Brother Peng said: "I have checked your information and counted your eight characters." I really don't understand, your eight characters are ordinary, but you are so talented. ”
"You mean, I'm unresponsive and it's hard to come across...... Ghost? ”
Brother Peng smiled: "Aren't you in the ghost capital now?" It's not that you can't meet ghosts, but it's that it's hard for the feminine to invade you. To use an inappropriate analogy, you're like someone who doesn't have pain nerves. I prick you with a needle, and you feel the touch, but you don't feel the pain. After the piercing, there were no wounds. ”
I laughed, "Then I can work at the funeral home in the future." ”
Brother Peng shook his head: "After all, this world is the world of people, even if you are not invaded by yin things, you will be hurt by others." To put it mildly, in this world, what is more terrifying than ghosts is the human heart. Far away, I came to you so that you can sit with me in this country. ”
Sitting on the country? I think of Brother Peng's painting - I stood with him on a high post and pointed out the country, and below were hundreds of thousands of unjust souls.
"Xiao Liu, you come here to be a 'judge' for me. When this place grows and grows, there will be one of you in the Ten Palaces of Yama. ”
I was stunned: "I, I'm a judge? Still doing Yama? Brother Peng, although I don't understand what's going on here, but have you built this copycat version of the underworld and said hello to the Yama lords of the real underworld? Will it be infringing, and will people come to find trouble? ”
Brother Peng Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "There is no real underworld in this world, and there is no Lord Hades, there is only the way of heaven. In other words, there is no subjective master, only the law of going its own way. I'm doing it today, and I'm among the elephants. Even if there is no Peng Liang for me, there will be Zhang Liang, Li Liang, and Wang Liang from the underworld in the future. You just say you don't do it. ”
"If you work here, I'm ...... in the yang world."
Brother Peng nodded: "Yes, it's dead." In the language of science, the body is dead, but your consciousness lives on. You will gain immortality in another sense. The knife is gone, but the blade is always there. In addition, I will also teach you the art of ghost cultivation, and walk through the world with a ghost body, still eating and drinking spicy food. ”
"Isn't this state ......" I blinked: "Become an immortal?" ”
"Oh? You get the idea. Brother Peng smiled: "This is indeed becoming an immortal." Although it is the lowest grade of becoming an immortal, a ghost immortal. But it's also a fairy, right? Becoming an immortal is 10,000 times stronger than being a human. Look at you, you're almost thirty years old, your daughter-in-law doesn't have it, you don't have a house, you don't have a house, and you don't have a job, and it's about to be gone. It's precarious, it's all white-eyed, and people are calling and drinking, do you think it's interesting to do this? ”
I coughed dryly: "I can't say that." It's better to die than to live, if I can't keep it, I can make a fortune and marry a beautiful woman or something in the future. ”
"Hmm. After getting rich and going bankrupt, the beautiful wife cuckolds, so it's better not to have it. ”
I laughed dryly: "Brother Peng, can you hope that I will be better." I always feel that I still have room for development in the future, and I am not willing to die at such a young age. I finally came to the world, and I hung up if I didn't have anything, and I didn't lose anything. ”
Brother Peng shook his head: "Alas, the idiot doesn't understand." ”
"Then Brother Peng, you have become an immortal now?" I asked cautiously.
He sighed, his eyes gloomy: "I am still one step away from becoming an immortal." This step is easy to say and difficult to say. My physical body must be autopsied in the Yang World, and the last step of the feather transformation must be completed. This autopsy doesn't just happen when it happens, and it needs to be a great chance. Just because I haven't become an immortal, the underworld here has not been perfected for a long time. I now collect my soul into the underworld, and I have to use the soul splitting needle to release my soul myself, which is too inefficient. Now that you're here, you're good to go. Your talent is abnormal, and I lack such a soul-calming person. As long as you help me complete the transformation, I can make the souls of all the people in the world come here to report on themselves after they die, and become a real underworld! Xiao Liu, when the time comes, you will be in charge of the life and death of the people in the world, and you will not be so happy even if you are the emperor. ”
I was stupid to hear. Brother Peng really wanted to autopsy into an immortal. But his ambition is greater than Luo Feng, Little Boy, and Li Damin, not only to become an immortal, but also to create his own underworld. It suddenly occurred to me that this ability to create a realm was very similar to that strange painting, and it was all a realm of its own.
Brother Peng and I paced out of the temple at this time, standing on the high steps, looking down. It's really magnificent and extraordinary. The heavens and the earth were desolate, with no sun or moon in sight, and the sky hung low, covered with gray and dark heavy clouds. There was a faint flash of lightning in the clouds. The whole temple seemed to float in mid-air, and there was nothing around, revealing loneliness and coldness.
Brother Peng stood in front and could only see his back. He clasped his hands and was full of ambition. Only then did I understand that in fact, what he wanted was not to cleanse the soul of sin, but to be ambitious, and what he wanted was to break the old world and create a new world by himself. I am reminded of the words of a philosopher: "He had the best desire to build a paradise on earth, but he only succeeded in creating a hell on earth." ”
"Brother Peng, stop it." I said.
He turned his head suddenly, "What do you mean?" ”
I groaned for a moment and told the money peasant about the iron chair case. Brother Peng smiled after hearing this: "I didn't expect there to be seniors." He is also practicing ghost cultivation techniques, and he doesn't know what he wants to do. But it is certain that he has entered the path of demons. I collect souls from the dead, but he collects from the living! This is the fundamental difference, not to be compared to us. ”
I said, "If I don't want to, will you force me here?" ”
Brother Peng smiled: "Of course not." If I do this, what is the difference between me and the senior surnamed Qian? How about we play a game? ”
"What game?"
Brother Peng said: "If you don't want to stay, you can go, I never force people." But I'm not here to come and go when I want to. If you leave here, you will have to go through the test of calamity. ”
I swallowed: "You, what do you mean?" ”
Brother Peng slowly paced to the front with his hands behind his back, and his voice was soft: "In your life experience, is there anything unforgettable?" ”
I was just about to say something. He continued, "Is there anything that breaks your heart? Is there anything that you can't let go of in the bottom of your heart? Have you ever been so scared that you have nightmares when you remember it? ”
I smiled wryly, "That's too much." ”
Brother Peng looked at me: "Xiao Liu, it is often not the evil things that hurt you, but the people who have all kinds of incidents in the red dust one after another, and they have left traces on your heart with the sharpest carving knife. The dream turns back at night, you feel distressed and insomnia, and you sigh for a long time while being sad. These are the real sadistic 'ghosts'. ”
He turned around and said, "Since you are so talented, you must also pass this test, so be it." ”
As soon as the words fell, a cold wind blew. Why is it so cold, goosebumps all over my body are up. There was a lot of fog around, and there were many shadows, and Brother Peng's figure gradually disappeared into the fog. I suddenly felt a hole under my feet, and a large hole appeared in the ground, and I fell into it. The whole process of falling was confused, and when I was on the ground, my eyes were dim, very, very dark.
I rubbed my eyes, it was all black, there was no light, and I wondered if I was blind. I fumbled around to see if I could find any tools to get the light. While touching it, my whole body was cold, Brother Peng was really ruthless, I didn't want to work for him, he made my eyes blind. If I do this all my life, wouldn't it be worse than Li Damin.
Just when his mind was in turmoil, suddenly a fire ignited not far away, and a sudden light appeared, stinging his eyes. But I was ecstatic inside, I wasn't blind. In the firelight, a girl's face appeared. Seeing this face, I was stupid.
It was actually Qin Dan.
Qin Dan combed her ponytail, and in the light, she could only see her extremely pale face. At first glance, she looked like there was only one human head left floating in the dark air.
Then her neck and arms appeared in the firelight, and my heart was beating wildly, and at the same time I breathed a sigh of relief, damn it, as long as it wasn't a human head.
Qin Dan didn't seem to see me, she held a lighter and looked around.
Seeing this scene, my heart trembled violently, and I felt a sense of déjà vu. Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Dan suddenly said: "Copper lock, you light the lighter." ”
At this moment, another flame was lit in the darkness, and I saw that the copper lock was also there. Copper Lock asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
Qin Dan looked left and right, and stared straight at the end. She said word by word, "There is one more person among us." ”
