Chapter 11: I've Been Replaced
I found myself able to see clearly in the darkness, and not only did I not rejoice, but I also felt great horror and uneasiness. It is absolutely impossible for a normal person to see things in such a dark place, only nocturnal animals can, so does it mean that I have the characteristics of an animal, or have I become a monster?
What really happened to me?
I was nervous, and finally waited for everyone to have enough food and drink, I insisted on sending Zhou Tan home, and my mother saw that my body was "normal", so I went. Before leaving, his mother gave Zhou Tan a large red envelope, about 8,000 yuan, Zhou Tan said some kind words, and finally accepted it.
When there were only the two of us left in the door, I couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Zhou, will I have sequelae?" ”
Zhou Tan was stunned for a moment and stopped: "This, this has to be observed for a while, cough cough ......"
He was obviously faking cough to hide his panic, and I was even more uneasy: "What about the vixen on my body, what did you do with it?" ”
"Ah...... I've sealed it on you, cough, cough, come to my house and talk about it. ”
Although I was very upset and a little angry, it was indeed he who turned me from a vegetative person into a living person, and he had said in advance that he would only take care of the consequences, and he also vomited blood twice with his life, so I still respected and thanked him very much, so I didn't ask him anymore and helped him to continue walking.
Zhou Tan's home is in the middle of the village, it is a very old house, the threshold has been worn short, and the bluestone slab at the door has also been stepped on extremely smooth, I am afraid that it has a history of a hundred years. He was the only one living in the big house, which had previously been shared by several families, and when he walked inside, there was a musty smell and dampness, green moss was everywhere on the steps and dirt floors, there were no electrical appliances other than electric lights, and not a single decent piece of new furniture.
The moss marks are green, and the grass is green, what a poetic two sentences, but at the moment I only see extreme loneliness and desolation. I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhou, what about your family?" ”
Zhou Tan's face changed, and he didn't say anything, and I immediately regretted asking the stupid question. Since junior high school, I have been studying in other places, I have little time to go home, and I am busy doing something for my mother at home, and I have never paid attention to people like Zhou Tan, so I don't know his family situation, but he is so down, he must be hurt, and it is too Meng Lang to ask him in person.
Zhou Tan sat down on the chair next to the table of the Eight Immortals, took out a cash cow (inferior cigarette), lit it and began to swallow the clouds and mist, and then asked me to give him his hand, and he cut my pulse with his eyes slightly closed. After a while he asked, "Do you feel anything unusual?" ”
"I can see things in the dark, I can see in the darkest places, and I feel a little ...... when I walk," I replied nervously.
A strange light flashed in Zhou Tan's eyes, which seemed to be a surprise, but it soon became flat, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Some things must be explained to you clearly, I didn't cure you completely, I don't know what the reason is, when you reunite your soul...... It should be that the heroes have not gathered, but the heroes of the demon fox have the potential to gather, and there was no other way at that time, so I had to seal it before the soul of the demon fox was not fully gathered. So its heroism remains in you, and it becomes your heroism......"
I was stunned that he had actually replaced the soul of the youkai with his transfer!!
Zhou Tan said: "Of course I know that there is a difference between humans and demons, and you can't mess around, but when the danger is like a tired egg, if you hesitate for a while, the demon fox three souls and seven spirits will gather completely, and you will take your body or escape, you can't live in either case, I can only take risks." Normally, it is impossible to change the soul, but the soul of the demon fox has been in your body for more than a month, and the reunited spirit also contains your essence and blood breath, fortunately succeeded! ”
I don't know whether to cry or laugh or scold my mother, isn't this making me a "shemale"? I nervously asked, "What are the bad consequences of this?" ”
Zhou Tan shook his head a little helplessly: "No one has ever done this before, so I don't know what will change, so it's okay for now." ”
I was in a cold sweat, and it took thousands of clinical shiyan for people to develop a medicine for colds, from mice to pigs, cows and sheep to people, he actually carried out an unprecedented soul transfer directly on me, and you are too bold to do it! But then again, he didn't have a choice, and it was much riskier than me lying in bed forever or dying.
I started to feel itchy all over my body, as if fox fur was starting to grow on my body, and I was worried that a tail would grow on my buttocks......
Zhou Tan saw my nervous appearance, and suddenly smiled: "Don't be too nervous, the heroic dominance of the human physique may have a little impact on your physique, but there should be no beast phenomenon." In modern science, your genes haven't changed, your body tissues haven't changed, but your physical health may be ......."
At this point, his words stopped abruptly, his smile froze, and a little uneasiness or guilt flashed in his eyes, and he did not dare to look me in the eye. I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean in terms of physical health?" Immunity? ”
"No, no, no." Zhou Tan shook his hand again and again, "You go back first, I'm a little tired." Ahem, the changes in your body will also be observed for a period of time, in short, no matter what happens to you, I will try my best to help you. ”
I knew that he must have something very serious to hide from me, probably because of my serious physical condition, but he refused to say that I had no choice, so I had to leave with a worried heart.
I've been worrying about walking on the road, I used to be prone to encounter supernatural things because of the "spiritual root", but now it's okay, and the soul of a thousand-year-old demon fox is on my body, I'm afraid that when I go to the toilet in the middle of the night, there are ghost brothers and ghost brothers patting me on the shoulder and asking: Dude, is it fun to?
When I got home, I didn't dare to tell my mother about the changes in my body, my mother had a heart attack, and I couldn't be afraid, this time she was worried enough, but fortunately I finally stood up, so no matter how big the problem is, I have to bear it and resolve it alone.
My grandmother was still at my house, and after chatting with her for a while, I learned that the Zhou family used to be a famous local family, and Zhou Tan's ancestors were all famous Mr. Yin and Yang, until his father was killed during the Cultural Revolution, and he also suffered a lot and lost all his property. Zhou Tan had no other livelihood skills except for "feudal superstition", and he could hardly survive after not being able to do this business, and his wife disliked him for being poor, leaving a son and a daughter to run away with others.
It's not easy for Zhou Tan to even eat with a mouthful of food, where does he have the time and energy to discipline his children? So the son has been rebellious since he was a child, and he was imprisoned for robbery when he was a minor, and he is still squatting in prison. When her daughter grew up and married in other places, she may have some opinions about him, and it is rare to give him a little money, and basically she will not come back, so Zhou Tan lives alone, and a day is counted as a day, and a meal is counted as a meal.
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, until now Zhou Tan is still as timid as a mouse, obedient, and does not dare to do anything out of the ordinary, afraid that one day the disaster of policy change will fall on him again.
I sighed a few times, and finally knew that he would be so downtrodden that he would become Kong Yiji's second.
I had nightmares all night when the vixen woke up and swallowed me in one gulp. Suddenly, I became a woman again, and there were several tails behind me, and Lu Chengshan chased after me and kept hitting me with lightning...... After several strange dreams, I dreamed of my hometown, I looked down at the village from the sky, and suddenly a thick red fog came from all directions, engulfing the village, and the smell of blood was so thick that I couldn't breathe, and finally I couldn't hold back my yell.
"Ah......h
I screamed and sat up from the bed with a cold sweat all over my head. The previous dreams were all vague, only the dreams of Zuihou Blood Mist Shroud Village were very clear, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
My heartbeat gradually calmed down, and I glanced at the electronic watch, it was only three o'clock in the morning, which was the quietest time of the day, but I felt that things were not quiet tonight, not even the crickets screamed, and the breeze was silent.
Then I heard a voice in the distance, and I couldn't hear it clearly, so I concentrated and listened with my ears pricked up. As soon as the mind was concentrated, the voice seemed much clearer, it was a trembling, low and hoarse voice: "The king is angry...... The king wants to eat people......"
I was startled, but soon came to my senses that it was the village madman talking nonsense. This madman is said to have been the principal of a certain higher school and is a mathematical genius, because no one can understand the mathematical formula he wrote, and the Red Guards believe that it is a collaborator code, and criticize him to madness. I've lived here for 10 years, and he's always looked the same: unkempt, wearing a torn padded jacket, with a cigarette butt in his left hand and a stone in his right hand scribbling everywhere. His Arabic numerals, letters, and mathematical symbols were clear and neat, but they were so complex that I could only tell at my level that they were equations, most of which I had never seen before.
The words of a madman need not be taken seriously, but I was a little surprised, because he had not shown any signs of aging in ten years, and had never spoken clearly, and it was the first time I had heard him express a complete sentence clearly.
The madman was still muttering, "The king wants to eat people...... Run for your life...... Run for your life......"
I felt inexplicably uneasy and depressed, of course I wouldn't believe the crazy words of a madman, but I had just woken up from a dream of strange blood mist, and my mood had not calmed down, and I heard the words of the genius madman's "warning world", which inevitably produced some associations, and it was too quiet at this time, so quiet that it made people panic.
I waved my hand unconsciously, as if trying to shake away my anxiety and troubles. I know that my uneasiness and fear stem from the fox spirit in my body, as well as the adverse effects of the change of spirit, the demons and monsters are not in my knowledge domain, and even Zhou Tan can't predict the consequences, how can I not be worried? People tend to be terrified of the unknown because it has too much uncertainty to be unpredictable and powerless to change.
What else is Zhou Tan hiding from me? What will the demon fox become of me?
It occurred to me that my hearing might be better than before, otherwise it would not have been possible to hear the words of a genius madman so far away.
