Chapter 24 I don't want to go to the underworld
"Recently, she received information that she wanted to use the influence of the soul to try to collude with the high-ranking officials guarding the Erjing realm, and mobilize the old subordinates and ghost soldiers of the soul in the deepest Erjing realm to come up to the yang world to hoard. At present, they are preparing to hoard in Yuling Mountain, where they have begun to build some military camps suitable for ghost soldiers, but they are still negotiating... The high-ranking official guarding Erjing is still unwilling to compromise at present, and what I'm afraid of is that when the time comes, Wen Jiezhen will use some means to make that high-ranking official compromise..."Auntie interjected.
"This is a key piece of news, we must deal with Wen Jiezhen before they mobilize a large number of ghost soldiers to come up, otherwise, there will be chaos in the world, and when the entire orthodox lineage is exhausted, it may not be able to suppress it. The old man knocked on the table and said solemnly.
"So how much time do we have left?" Uncle Huang asked the old man.
"I don't know, according to the current situation of the construction of the ghost soldier barracks, it will take a year to complete the construction at the earliest. The old man frowned and said, "It seems that I have to go to the underworld." ”
.................................
I listened patiently to their conversation, and although my mind has not yet completely shifted from the world of science to the world of metaphysics, I want to continue like this and experience more, and I am not far from becoming a member of the world of metaphysics.
I felt more and more mysterious about them, and a lot of questions were cramming into my head, and I asked them, "After hearing you all this time, can I ask you some questions?"
The old man replied, "Well, you have to know these things sooner or later, just ask." ”
"What's that department you're talking about?" I asked the old man.
"You'll find out later. But wait until Hui Sha arrives and let him tell you. The old man sent me away.
"Uncle, are you also from that department?" I asked Uncle Huang.
Uncle Huang smiled and said, "It used to be, but not now." ”
"Auntie too?" I asked curiously.
"Uh-huh. ”
"You and my parents are comrades-in-arms, so say..."I asked tentatively.
The old man's face twitched, and this time it was he who answered my question, "Your parents are also from our department, but you disappeared when you were a child because of a certain mission, and now you have been classified as a death due to a car accident. ”
In a blink of an eye, it was noon, the aunt was busy in the kitchen, the smell of the food wafted out of the living room, the old man smelled the food, jumped up, and muttered, "I'll come to the first chopsticks, I'll taste it... I'm one of my favorite foods..."
When he was eating, the old man swept through the plates like a refugee, and I really admired his appetite, so I asked him, "If you eat like this, won't you support you?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Cultivators consume a lot of nutrients and need a lot of nutrients, so they eat a lot of food, and the food is rich in nutrients, and only by eating more can they absorb these nutrients." After he finished speaking, he continued to eat the braised pork in the rice bowl, and wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve after eating.
It's really a waste of that suit, and being used as a mouth wipe by this bad old man, in the face of such a big grinning and unscrupulous image of the old man, we are all accustomed to it in the years to come.
After eating, everyone was busy, but I was pulled to the corner by the old man, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and gave it to me, and asked me to put it on, I didn't understand why, but I didn't ask why, and hung it directly around my neck.
"You should have finished taking all the pills you gave you, right?" asked the old man.
"Mm-hmm, almost. ”
"Well, your soul is damaged, I'm going to go down to the underworld tonight, and by the way, I'll go down to find a ghost doctor to nourish your soul, where there is the pure yin qi of the underworld, which has a recovery effect on the soul after being traumatized, recover early, otherwise it won't be a way to drag it out like this." The old man said to me earnestly.
"Going down?" I shook my head in surprise, "No!"
"Why?" the old man clearly did not expect me to refuse.
"First, the underworld is a thing that I have no concept of, I don't understand, I don't want to understand, and I don't want to get involved. Second, why are you so nice to me?" I asked the old man.
"You stinky boy, you really broke the casserole and asked the end!" the old man paused before continuing, "You will have to get involved in this thing sooner or later, and why am I so good to you? ”
"Be your disciple? Forget it, I just want to live an ordinary life. I said to him.
"You stinky boy, it's really shameless!" The old man was anxious, and shouted, "Whether you are my disciple or not, this is the same thing, the current focus is to raise your soul well, you are because of me and participated in the battle with Wen Jiezhen to damage the soul, I must create this cause and bear this fruit!"
"That's fine, but you have to answer me one more question before I agree to go down to the underworld with you. I said.
The old man said impatiently, "Why do you have so many questions?
"What's that department you're talking about, and why do you involve me?" I asked.
The old man thought for a while and said, "Let me summarize it to you, there are some doctors in our department, but they never treat or operate in front of ordinary people, do you know why? Because they are all doctors in the circle, destined to blend in with the lives of ordinary people, but isolated from them." A department is a department of the state on the surface, but in fact it is independent of the state, you know what I mean?"
"Well, I don't understand. "I'm telling the truth.
That is to say, it is more like two cooperative institutions, the department will never interfere in state affairs, but it will not do anything harmful to the country, and what needs to be solved is only some things that are beyond the normal scope in the land of China, which are the responsibilities of the department. To put it more simply, in the thousands of years of history of China, such institutions have always existed, but they are independent of the regime. In return, in addition to providing some convenience for the department, the state will not meddle in any affairs of the department and intervene in any infighting between the forces here, you can understand that this is a matter that belongs to two worlds, I say this, do you understand?" the old man said to me as simply as possible.
"You mean, just like the people of the rivers and lakes in ancient times, the rivers and lakes are all about the rivers and lakes, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
After all, society is progressing, and for some mysterious events, they also have their own departments, and other departments are fundamentally different from ours. And this kind of department, you can understand that there are all corners of the world, and the forces are intricate, understand?" After saying this, the old man smiled at me, looking a little helpless.
"I understand a little bit. I said.
"Well, then you're going to go down to the underworld with me tonight, so make some preparations. The old man left a sentence and prepared to leave.
"And how are my parents? Can you tell me?" I asked.
"Okay, just ask the last question," the old man waved at me.
I didn't ask any more questions, so I said, "So what do I need to prepare tonight?"
"Sleep, change your clothes, and relax!" the old man turned his back to me and waved his hand upwards at me.
