117. Harm to human life
I startled and pointed to my nose, "Me? ”
The fat old man nodded.
Lin Xiaoqiu was reminded, took my hand, and asked me to take the white jade gourd.
"Xiao Ning, try it quickly, this little gourd is a treasure, if you can get it, we will make a lot of money this trip."
My hand was dragged close to the white jade gourd by Lin Xiaoqiu.
I didn't say I wouldn't take it, Lin Xiaoqiu dragged me like this, but it was inconvenient for me to move.
"Lin Xiaoqiu, you let go of me, I'll take the ...... myself"
Before I finished speaking, my fingertips touched the white jade gourd.
The white jade gourd was like a burning coal, and when my hand touched it, it was burned in severe pain.
"Ahh
I exclaimed, hurriedly shook off Lin Xiaoqiu's hand, and took it back.
Lin Xiaoqiu looked at me puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
I clasped my hands and looked down at my fingertips.
The pain of being burned was very real to me, but my fingertips were intact, not to mention burned, not even a red mark.
"Sure enough." The fat old man stared at me with a smile on his face, and the glint in his eyes clearly showed interest in me.
The fat old man was already quite indescribable, and now staring at me with such interested eyes gave me the feeling that he was very obscene.
I felt uncomfortable, and whispered to Lin Xiaoqiu, "Lin Xiaoqiu, we have nothing to do with this gourd, don't take it, let's go." ”
Lin Xiaoqiu was a little reluctant, but she also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced. She nodded, and reluctantly left the antique shop with me.
As soon as I walked out of the store, I heard the voice of the fat old man coming from the store, "Birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be forced, as a cultivator, you should follow the law of life and death. Fellow Daoist, I advise you as a senior, don't force her, let her go. ”
What was he talking about?
Fellow Daoists?
Is he calling Lin Xiaoqiu?
My face was puzzled, but Lin Xiaoqiu seemed to understand.
Her face turned pale, then she turned around, ran into the store, and said to the fat old man with a fierce face, "Old man, I advise you not to meddle in your business!" Otherwise, don't blame me for disrespecting my elders and ruining your deeds! ”
In the face of Lin Xiaoqiu's threat, the expression on the fat old man's face did not change at all, and he was still smiling.
The fat face, the eyes are crooked into a slit, like a smiling Buddha. It gives people a deep and hidden feeling, like a master hidden in the market.
Lin Xiaoqiu was very angry, and after the threat, she raised her foot and kicked the wooden table on the side hard, and the wooden table was jingled by her kick.
"Damn!"
She yelled, turned around in a huff, came out of the store, and then took my hand and strode out of the mall.
I didn't understand why she was angry, so I asked her suspiciously, "Lin Xiaoqiu, what happened?" ”
Hearing my question, Lin Xiaoqiu stopped, she looked back at me, her big eyes were full of self-blame, "Xiao Ning, I'm in trouble." ”
I looked at her with a frown, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Lin Xiaoqiu said to me anxiously, "Xiao Ning, I forgot that you are a resurrected person. When your heart was dug out, you had already died once, and it was the sixth master and the two elders of Huang and Bai who rescued you.
Although you look no different from ordinary living people on the surface, in fact, in the eyes of our insiders, your soul is very unstable, and your three souls and seven souls are actually more like ghosts than living souls. ”
I was shocked.
After coming back from the dead, the most obvious change for me is that the cold places make me feel comfortable, and the yang places make me feel a sense of breathlessness.
But as I lived longer, my liking for yin and my dislike for yang became less pronounced.
Lin Xiaoqiu is a Taoist aunt, she is yang, and when she gets close to me at the beginning, it will make me uncomfortable. But now that I'm in contact with her, I don't feel anything strange anymore.
I thought it was a good sign, after all, I was becoming more and more like a normal person. I didn't expect that there was still a problem with my soul!
I steadied myself and asked her, "Lin Xiaoqiu, in your eyes, am I the appearance of a ghost who borrowed a corpse to resurrect a ghost?" ”
Lin Xiaoqiu shook his head, "It's not that serious, borrowing corpses to resurrect souls is a taboo in the underworld, if you have death in your body, the underworld will send a messenger to arrest you a long time ago." How would I describe it to you? It's that your soul is more like a dying person, weak, but still panting. ”
Lin Xiaoqiu said, in general, I am still a living person, so the underworld can't control me.
But the cultivators can see the ghost qi lingering in my three souls and seven spirits, and if there is a ghost qi, it means that I am a dead person, but in reality, I am still alive and well, which is a very strange thing in the eyes of the cultivators.
The white jade gourd just now contains a very strong yang energy, and my hand was burned when it touched the white jade gourd, but in fact, my soul was injured by yang energy. So I only felt a sharp pain, but there was no sign of burning on my fingers.
Of course, the soul of a living person is not afraid of yang energy, and by this it is certain that I am already a dead person.
Resurrection from the dead is against the way of heaven.
The fat old man saw this, and only then did he say those words to remind Lin Xiaoqiu not to go against the sky, and be careful of setting himself on fire in the end.
Lin Xiaoqiu also knew that the fat old man had seen my situation, so he angrily warned the fat old man not to meddle.
Cultivators often do things that they think are righteous, and Lin Xiaoqiu is worried that the fat old man will do the same, and he will harm my life in the name of doing the right thing for the heavens.
"Xiao Ning, if only I hadn't let you touch that jade gourd!"
Lin Xiaoqiu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "It's just that the soul is strange, the fat old man doesn't have conclusive evidence, so he won't dare to attack you." It's all my fault, why did I forget that you were afraid of yang! ”
As he spoke, Lin Xiaoqiu was so angry that he raised his hand to slap himself.
I hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Lin Xiaoqiu, don't worry, the boss just reminded you, and he didn't show any intention of attacking me." Besides, even if he wants my life and has Shuobai to protect me, it will not be an easy task. ”
Lin Xiaoqiu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there is still the sixth master." ”
Seeing Lin Xiaoqiu's appearance, I didn't dare to tell her that I was suspicious of Shuo Bai.
Without the mood to go shopping, Lin Xiaoqiu and I went back to the hotel to clean up and set off for the train station.
I didn't sleep well last night, and when I got on the train, I leaned my head on Lin Xiaoqiu's shoulder and fell asleep quickly.
In my sleep, I heard my name being called.
The voice floated from a distance, ethereal, as if it came from another time and space.
I followed the shouts and walked over, and before I knew it, I was on a wide road.
It was night, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and the dark sky covered the world like a large black cloth.
The sky is so low that it feels like you can touch the darkness above you when you jump up, which makes you feel very oppressive.
Beneath your feet is a wide dirt road, with a gray mist in the air, and the light is dim, so you can barely see your surroundings clearly. There were a lot of pedestrians on the road, and everyone kept their heads down and walked forward.
It seemed that everyone was hurrying, no one was talking, no one was staying, there was silence all around, so quiet that there was no sound of footsteps!
I followed the crowd forward, I didn't know where I was ahead, I didn't know where I was going, but I just had an inexplicable and firm thought in my heart, I wanted to go forward, walk this way, and I would get to where I was going.
I don't know how long I walked, but lights appeared in front of me.
I looked closely, and it was a red lantern floating in the air.
The faint light of the red lantern loomed in the mist, and by this light I saw that behind the red lantern was a wooden arch bridge with a large stone standing at the head of the bridge.
There are three words written on the big stone - Nai He Bridge!
