Chapter 3 Three Questions
"Fairy girl, please save my life!" Xue Chuan thought that he would definitely die, but when he suddenly heard this, he was also ecstatic in his heart, and immediately knelt forward and kowtowed.
When the mysterious woman saw Xue Chuan's move, she didn't resist, so she accepted it calmly, until Xue Chuan kowtowed and bled lightly, and then said lightly: "Enough, get up." ”
Xue Chuan raised his head ecstatically, completely ignoring the blood flowing on his forehead, and asked repeatedly, "Dare to ask the fairy, what is the choice?"
The corners of the mysterious woman's mouth raised slightly: "I will ask you a few questions, you must say the most true answer in your heart, if it satisfies me, I will spare you and grant you the way to survive, but if you disappoint me, I will hand you over to 'her' to deal with." ”
"She?" Xue Chuan's eyes showed incomprehension, but when he followed the mysterious woman's eyes, he immediately understood what the so-called "she" was.
At a distance of about thirteen zhang from the boat, there was a lingering thick darkness, and within the scope of that darkness, even the frost on the river surface was gone, leaving behind a slightly dark river surface and floating corpses that made the scalp tingle.
On top of the pile of floating corpses, stood a barefoot girl, her black hair was wet by the river and scattered over her chest, her body was soft and seductive, but her complexion was lifeless.
Although the barefoot girl's face is delicate, a pair of indescribable eyes are revealed in the messy black hair, which makes people tremble at a glance, and the meaning of death and resentment can be described as monstrous!
Xue Chuan just glanced at him slightly, and then he felt a cold aura flowing down his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, his whole body flowed, making him almost unsteady on his feet, and he was about to collapse to the ground!
Xue Chuan exclaimed, and struggled to stand firm again, not daring to look at the girl's eyes again, so he had to look at the girl's general clothes.
This sight also frightened him: he saw that the barefoot girl was holding a thick, rusty iron chain in her hand, and the end of the chain was to penetrate the five broken corpses together, making them impossible to separate.
What made Xue Chuan's scalp tingle even more was that even though the five corpses were rotten to the point of being human, they were still opening their mouths wide, letting out a silent wail, and their limbs were struggling weakly, as if they wanted to escape from the girl's side.
"Okay, don't look any further, when you answer my question, you'll know the cause and effect of everything. At this time, the mysterious woman interrupted Xue Chuan's observation with a speech.
Xue Chuan came back to his senses, still having palpitations, and nodded hurriedly.
"Sit down. The mysterious woman pointed to the cushion on the boat, and Xue Chuan also sat down obediently, and sat opposite the mysterious woman, which was quite a sense of discussion.
The mysterious woman paused, then said softly: "First question, in all fairness, do you think you are a good person or a bad person?"
Hearing this strange question, Xue Chuan was also stunned for a while, and he was as smart as he frowned and thought carefully, and didn't speak for a long time.
And the mysterious woman was not in a hurry, just looked at Xue Chuan quietly, waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Xue Chuan said calmly: "First of all, I am definitely not a good person. ”
Hearing this answer, the mysterious woman's expression did not wave, but asked calmly, "Reason?"
Xue Chuan smiled bitterly: "I went out to cheat since I was a child, seeking money in the name of catching ghosts, but I didn't do it, how can I be a good person?"
The mysterious woman's expression was the same: "Then you think you are a wicked person?"
Xue Chuan shook his head: "No, I take people's money, but I also make them feel at ease, although it is a deception, but it makes the customer no longer suffer from inner torment, and he does not steal or rob, does not bully the old and weak, does not harm people's lives, and is naturally not a wicked person." ”
At this time, the mysterious woman narrowed her eyes: "I can warn you, a clever answer like 'neither good nor too bad' will disappoint me." ”
Xue Chuan didn't feel so frightened when he heard this, but took a deep breath and said, "In all fairness, I can only be regarded as a 'person'. Born as a human being, he may do good only because of a thought in his heart, or he may be evil because of a grudge, but as long as he is a human being, he must be riddled with good and evil, and the wicked can also be good, and the good can also do evil. I am not a great traitor, nor a great virtue or good, I am naturally just a pure 'person'. ”
After saying this, Xue Chuan looked at the mysterious woman quietly, and the other party also stared at Xue Chuan with those intoxicating black eyes. The two sat staring at each other, both silent.
After a long time, the mysterious woman nodded: "Count you through." ”
Hearing these four words, Xue Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Don't let it go, there are two more questions after this, and if you don't satisfy me, you'll have no place to die. The mysterious woman pursed her lips and said.
Xue Chuan let out an "um" and said, "Go on." ”
The mysterious woman pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "Second question, do you think there are many evil people or good people in this world?"
Xue Chuan's thoughts began to run at great speed, supporting his chin with his hand, biting his lip, closing his eyes and concentrating, constantly thinking about the answer to this question.
"In all fairness.... How can I be fair? This kind of question has obvious personal emotions, if my thoughts are not her appetite, then ....." Xue Chuan kept muttering to himself in his heart, and sweat drops gradually appeared on his forehead.
After about a cup of tea, Xue Chuan made up his mind, opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "As far as I am concerned, in this world, there is no good or evil at all!"
When the mysterious woman heard this, she immediately asked in a cold voice: "Reason!"
Xue Chuan gritted his teeth: "The judgment of good and evil, from ancient times to the present, has always been only two scales, one is the emotions of the individual, and the other is the interests of the group, but neither of these two can be used as a yardstick to measure good and evil!"
The mysterious woman didn't say anything more, but stared at Xue Chuan coldly, motioning for him to continue.
Xue Chuan calmed down a little and continued: "If I kill someone, as far as that person's blood relatives are concerned, I am a cold-blooded villain, and I should pay for it with blood. But if that man is going to poison a river, I am a man of great kindness to the riverside dweller who has saved his life. ”
"If individual emotions conflict with the interests of the group, it is impossible to judge whether a person is good or evil. What's more, this good and evil is only a measure of people, if you take care of all beings in heaven and earth, then the entanglement between good and evil is even more unclear!" Xue Chuan said all these words in one breath, and couldn't help but gasp a few times.
"Even if it is defined by the scope of people, as I said before, good people can also cause monstrous disasters, and evil people can also save the world, if you judge the good and evil of a person with a single thought, isn't it too ridiculous?" Xue Chuan asked rhetorically.
The mysterious woman listened to Xue Chuan's answer, but she was stunned in place, and gradually fell into deep thought, and was silent for a long time.
Xue Chuan didn't dare to interrupt silently, so he sat quietly on the cushion and waited for the mysterious woman's verdict.
However, what he was waiting for was the mysterious woman's stunned words: "Last question, do you think I am good or evil?"
Faced with this problem, Xue Chuan fell into a situation where he didn't know how to start for the first time. Even the previous two questions about the uncertain position did not make him so embarrassed.
"It's... I don't know much about fairies... How can you assert your good or evil?" Xue Chuan touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and said tremblingly.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious woman just said four words lightly:
"In all fairness. ”
Xue Chuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, so he had to bow his head again and ponder.
In the process of thinking, Xue Chuan did not dare to be distracted in the slightest, he had to integrate all the known factors to make a reasonable deduction of the answer to that question.
It was under the crazy operation of this kind of thinking that Xue Chuan even forgot the threat of strange things around him, and the sense of fear in his heart was weakened a little, and he just focused on analysis and thinking, no longer focusing on what he saw in front of him.
The floating corpses in the river, and the barefoot girl in the terrifying darkness, could no longer interfere with his mind.
Seeing Xue Chuan's state, even the mysterious woman who seemed to have something on her mind also sighed lightly.
Until Xue Chuan opened his eyes again, the mysterious woman also concentrated a little, and seemed to be looking forward to Xue Chuan's answer.
I saw Xue Chuan take a deep breath and said slowly: "I think..."
......
On the side of the Lujiang River, Liu Feng looked at the fog that filled the river, and he was also panicked, the boat where Xue Chuan was located had long disappeared into the thick fog, and an incredible cold was also spreading rapidly in the river.
Liu Feng took a few steps back without a trace, so that he stood behind the middle-aged man in the village who was standing guard, so that he could escape more quickly if anything happened.
Unlike Xue Chuan, Liu Feng has always had an attitude of awe towards ghosts and spirits, so in the process of perennial deception, he usually goes to deal with people, and the errand of pretending to be a ghost is Xue Chuan's job.
This time, even Liu Feng realized that something was wrong, the ink-black river, the thick fog that did not know the root, and the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow on the entire Lujiang River all made him uneasy.
After sending away those young guys, Liu Feng had been wandering by the Lujiang River, waiting for news from Xue Chuan.
To tell the truth, he Liu Feng still doesn't want to lose a talent like Xue Chuan, after all, cheating is a technical job these days, and a liar like Xue Chuan who is bold and careful, has a bright brain and is good at figuring out people's hearts, can be said to be a golden sweetheart.
It's just that as time went by, Liu Feng also muttered, and secretly said in his heart: "This kid won't be so fateful, right? I've been safe and sound for the past twenty or thirty years, and he has only been eating this business for a few years before he meets the main master?"
The so-called righteous lord is the name of those demons and monsters by the people in the rivers and lakes who make evil money, after all, this line of work is to use the name of ghosts and gods to make money, and the real ghosts and gods are naturally the "right masters". Over time, the main character is used to refer to ghosts and the like.
Seeing that Xue Chuan hadn't had a letter for so long, and that the river was weird, Liu Feng naturally thought of the word Zhengzhu.
At this moment, a withered hand stretched out from behind Liu Feng and firmly grabbed Liu Feng's left shoulder!
