Chapter 28: Demons and Humans

A terrible scream rang out from the cold room.

I saw that Ji Que's fist technique was like a cannon, tearing the corpse-spotted old woman into various shapes, and the air was full of circulating energy.

These days, because he often plays Tai Chi to strengthen his body, the true qi in Ji Que's body is becoming more and more condensed.

He knew that as long as time passed, he would be able to reach the sequence of condensing qi into the Yuan in the old monk's mouth and entering the Three Realms True Yuan Realm.

Well, when the time comes, I should be in the same realm as the old monks, and I won't be too inferior.

Of course, the most direct change will be that you will become more capable and durable, and you will have a little more confidence when resisting these inexplicable bad luck.

Really, he just dared to help the old ladies go home today, but the old lady slandered people, and it became such a scary thing.

What a fucking bad luck.

"No!"

With a snap, the old woman's tattered body was slammed to the ground, and viscous black blood emerged from it.

Her eyes had lost focus and were hollow.

Her face changed, and she became a little younger, as if she had become a different person.

At that moment, a bit of scarlet blood spilled from her neck, and it was very conspicuous.

It didn't take long for Ji Que to find that her entire body had turned scarlet, as if she had fallen in a dazzling pool of blood.

Suddenly, the scarlet smear spread and enveloped him and the room.

Then Ji Que found that he had come to another world.

The whole world emitted a faint red glow, and the picture looked like it had been smeared with blood.

He saw a woman in a small courtyard washing clothes, kneading her waist from time to time, looking very hard.

In the next room, a middle-aged scholar in his thirties was packing his luggage.

Looking at the woman's face, Ji Que suddenly remembered the old woman who had just changed.

It's a lot like that, but it looks a lot younger.

"Is this your memory?"

Ji Que suddenly remembered this street and alley, and estimated that it should be one of the streets in Sangshui County.

The middle-aged scholar finished packing his luggage and was about to leave home, but the woman reluctantly held his hand, touched her tears and said, "Lin'er, be careful on the road." ”

The scholar nodded, with a look of impatience between his eyebrows, and said, "Got it, mother, I'll pick you up when I'm safe." ”

After that, the scholar left, and his back disappeared into the alley.

From here, you can see the woman looking at the empty alley, secretly wiping her tears, and smiling.

After that, the surrounding scene kept changing.

The woman stared at the mouth of the alley every day, and occasionally went out to ask someone for news, but there was no news.

Ji Que knew that she was waiting for her son, but unfortunately in the end she only waited for a letter with more than ten taels of silver.

Naturally, there would be nothing good in the letter, and the woman might not be illiterate, or she might have pretended not to see, and then she sat in the courtyard with the silver and muttered to herself, "This is the silver that I used for Lin Er's marriage, and I have to keep it for him." ”

"This is the silver that Lin Er's family used to become a parent, I have to keep it for him."

From time to time, rumors of her son's unfilial piety came and the woman carried a knife and scolded the people around her for being jealous of her son's fame and glory, while their children were still just ugly mud legs.

It's a pity that no matter how fierce the woman scolded and denied it, she was sitting at the door of the house, her face was still aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her mind began to be unclear.

After that, a man came to the small courtyard.

Ji Que recognized that person at a glance.

Isn't this the splash who wanted to steal himself and be countered before?

The pimp stole the woman's silver that she had hidden in her pillow, and when he was discovered, he ran away.

The woman did not want to chase after her.

She staggered through the muddy streets, stepped over wet stone slabs, knocked down roadside stalls, and eventually, she fell to the side of the road, blood smearing on the ground.

She stared at the direction Splash had left, like a dead fish stranded on the shore.

A few days later, the woman died in her bed.

It was the neighbor she scolded who buried her.

In the scarlet scene, the dirt of the tomb could be seen moving, and a long insect-like shadow crawled out of the moonlight.

That's when a dead woman becomes a terrible thing.

She stared at the splash skin, and before the splash entered the small courtyard, she stood in front of a blind old woman who had already died on the bed, and then burrowed into the other party's mouth like a worm and merged with the other party......

After that, it was natural that the old lady died, and the old lady continued to look for the silver.

After a while, the red light receded like a tide, and the surroundings returned to their original appearance.

It was impossible to tell whether it was the blind old woman or the old woman's old body that was lying there, still not closing her eyes.

She opened her mouth and stared at Ji Que with vicious eyes.

Ji Que said with a confused face: "It turns out that the silver is really yours." ”

He didn't expect that there would really be a share of this old woman's money from the backhand of the splasher.

When the woman heard this, she became agitated at once, and her mouth kept opening and closing.

"You said this earlier, I would have given it to you if you said it earlier, how do you know that you are not blackmailing if you don't say it?" Ji Que couldn't help but complain.

Old Woman: "......"

Ji Que squatted down and said, "Okay, I'll give you back the silver, buy you a good coffin, and follow you into the ground, okay?" ”

The old woman, who had long since lost her human form, nodded, and squeezed two words out of her throat - "Thank you." ”。

Ji Que thought for a while and said: "You have also avenged the revenge of the ploppy, such a no-person, not a ghostly and heavy, it is not good for others and yourself, so let's leave early and be born early." ”

The old woman struggled for a moment, and her broken throat squeezed: "My family Lin Er can't see me when he comes back, I guess I will be sad." ”

Ji Xiao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will leave a letter, if he comes back, he will definitely come to your grave." ”

The old woman twisted her neck, as if relieved, and said weakly, "Thank you." ”

Ji Que shook his head and said, "No, I'll choose some compensation." ”

Hearing this, the woman suddenly became excited, and her cloudy eyes suddenly revealed a fierce light, as if she wanted to get up and kill someone.

"My, everything about mine belongs to my family."

Ji Que raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Old lady, are you sure you want to talk to me in this tone?" I'm a victim. ”

The woman seemed to remember some terrible memory, and the fierce light in her eyes suddenly dissipated, and she became calm again, and squeezed out a sentence-"You can take whatever Childe likes, I think you should be interested in my wrench." ”。

As she spoke, she wriggled her right ring finger and continued, "It's all due to me that I'm like this." ”

Ji Que didn't expect that there would be such a secret, so he took off the wrench and said, "Okay, I want this." Okay, now it's up to you to do it yourself, or I'll do it. ”

The old woman was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "That troublesome son." You don't have to give me the money before, for it will be useless when I die. In fact, there are still twenty taels of silver hidden at the foot of the bed in my room, so if the son doesn't dislike it, he will take them all. ”

"Not for your son?" Ji Que asked.

The old woman suddenly smiled bleakly and did not speak again.

She knew very well that her son would not come back.

She was literate, and she knew the contents of the letter very well, but her good son decided not to have anything to do with her anymore, and disliked her for being old and ugly, and not in good health.

After that, she seemed to have figured it out, closed her eyes, and had no breath or anger.

Human obsession is a terrible thing that can make people become demons, but once they let go, demons become humans again.

Ji Que slashed the wooden stool with the palm of his hand, and the flames suddenly rose and fell on the old woman's long worm-like body.

The raging flames engulfed her, and at the same time drove away the strange coldness of the entire room, which seemed to return from the underworld to the yang.

Ji Que stood in front of the lonely flame, looking at the colorful wrench in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

For a moment, he didn't know what he was sighing about.
