Chapter 352: Stand-in Soul
Ji Yansheng slowly turned his head and glanced at me, making a watery sound in his mouth.
Me: "......"
Good fellows, one has become mentally retarded, and the other has become a dog?
I thought about it for a while, and I guessed what was going on.
These two guys, did not pass the test.
Like me, they should have met the Yama King in the guise of the paper figures.
They did not resist the temptation of King Yama and agreed to be reincarnated.
As a result, one was reincarnated as an idiot, and the other as a dog.
As for their memories, I don't know if they have been erased.
I picked up the paper figures and said faintly, "What about their memories?" ”
The paper man remained motionless, as if it were really a paper man.
But I know in my heart that it's not that simple.
I asked again, "What about their memories?" Don't play stupid. ”
The paper man still didn't react.
I laughed and said, "I was in the bureau before, and I couldn't see your various arrangements clearly, and I was played by you. This is understandable. ”
"But now...... Are you still coming with me? ”
I didn't say much, I just struck a match and lit the paper figure.
The paper man immediately let out a miserable scream: "Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire quickly." ”
I put out the fire, but the paper figure was missing a leg.
He stared at me angrily.
I said faintly, "What about their memories?" ”
The paper man said: "They have been reincarnated, their memories have been erased, and naturally they can't be recovered." ”
I set the paper figure on fire again.
This time, I was indifferent to the paper man's begging for mercy.
Finally, the paper man took out two points of light from his body and threw them at Jin Shengshui and Ji Yansheng.
I saw their bodies shake a little, and then their eyes began to clear little by little.
The process was slow, but at least it was starting to get better.
So, I put out the fire on the paper man.
At this time, the paper figure has only the upper body left.
The mutilated paper figure no longer had a resentful look on his face, but looked at me with a flattering face.
I asked it, "When will my friend get back to normal?" ”
"It will take at least an hour." Within this hour, they will linger in the next life. It's also a rare experience. ”
I sighed and asked, "Who are you?" Who are you? ”
The paper man replied honestly, "I am the guardian of the ancestors. It has been here for many, many years. ”
"Don't ask me about anything else, I don't know, I just obeyed the orders of the ancestor and presided over the test here."
"If you don't believe me, burn me to ashes."
I laughed, "Don't worry. ”
I patted Ji Qianlong's coffin: "You treat everyone equally, and you don't even let go of your descendants." ”
"Okay, since I'm here, let's complete the task first."
I felt around the coffin, but there were no nails in it.
I pushed hard and the coffin lid fell to the ground.
There was a loud bang, which frightened Jin Shengshui into crying, and Ji Yansheng screamed.
Me: "......"
I glanced into the coffin, and Ji Qianlong was lying peacefully in it with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
His hands were raised in a gesture of overlapping and raised, as if waiting for me to drip blood, as if to make me drop blood on his palms.
I walked up to Ji Yansheng and lightly cut him with a knife.
In Ji Yansheng's barking, I took a little blood.
The blood hung on the knife, crumbling, dripping into Ji Qianlong's palm.
And at this moment, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something on Ji Qianlong's chest.
Just then, the blood fell.
I don't know what to think, the ghost sent the gods, and with a flick of his fingers, the drop of blood was scattered.
Ji Qianlong in the coffin seemed to sense it, and I saw his brow furrowed vigorously.
I cautiously reached out and tugged his collar down.
Then, I was taken aback.
I saw a human face on his heart.
This person's face is not literal, but more like the meridians bulge themselves, forming this appearance.
The face was also tightly closed, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
I reached out and touched the face, and it didn't react.
I stared at this face for a long time, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became.
Suddenly I reacted, this face ...... Isn't this the man in the flames?
I turned my head, looked at the paper figure in the corner, and asked, "Who is this man?" Do you know each other? ”
I thought the paper man would say that he didn't know, but I didn't expect him to nod and say, "I know." ”
He said it with great ease.
I asked curiously, "Who is this man?" ”
The paper man said: "It is the soul of the ancestor's stand-in." ”
I looked at it puzzled, what is a stand-in soul? I really hadn't heard of it before.
The paper man said: "It is said that when the ancestor was young, he once saved a person. ”
"This person is grateful for his kindness, and he voluntarily took out a wisp of soul and gave it to the ancestor."
"This wisp of soul is not of the same origin as the ancestor, but being together day and night, you can communicate with each other, and there is no difference between it and the ancestor's own soul."
"There are some things that the ancestor is inconvenient to do, and it is easy to be punished by God, so he will let the substitute soul do it. There are often surprising and winning effects. ”
My heart moved: Ji Yansheng seems to have such a soul.
I walked over quickly and ripped off Ji Yansheng's clothes.
In a burst of whistling noise, I saw an unfamiliar face on his chest.
