Chapter 40: The One Who Was Copied
I followed slowly behind the wisp of earth spirit, only to see him walk through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a few broken houses close to the outside of the village, and then entered the house through the door, it seemed that this was Bai Yuxuan's home.
After Bai Yuxuan got home, he fell asleep on the bed, and it seemed that he would not wake up for a while, and I was bored standing for a while, so I had to come back first.
Looking at the time, it was more than four o'clock in the morning, and I remembered the meat porridge that I promised Zhao Dong to come yesterday, so I went back to buy a bunch of supplies and brought them over.
At this time, I heard the movement of the grain store in front of me, I came out to look, and found that the lights of the store had been turned on through the crack in the door, and Zhao Donglai was inside and began to clean the already clean ground, and cleaned up again inside and out, and then got a pot of rice there, picking up the small stones and rice husks inside, it seemed that this was ready to cook.
Zhao Donglai didn't close the door to go home until nearly eleven o'clock yesterday, and he came over at four o'clock today, doesn't this guy have to sleep?
"Zhao Donglai, why is it so early?"
Seeing me suddenly appear at the door, Zhao Donglai was startled, and after seeing that it was me, he hurriedly said:
"Shopkeeper, I'll open the door early, as long as I open the door earlier than other houses every day, customers who get up early to buy and sell rice in the future will remember to come directly to our house."
I nodded, and walked around the store twice, this store was too small, and I felt a little unable to turn around, so I stood still and asked Zhao Donglai:
"Do you know Bai Yuxuan? What is he like? ”
Unexpectedly, hearing me say this, Zhao Donglai's eyes suddenly turned red:
"Back to the shopkeeper, Bai Yuxuan, people are good, every year when the family doesn't have food in winter, I go to Bai Yuxuan to borrow food, just because I went to private school with him for a few days when I was a child, he saved me for so many years. This year, his family failed, and I almost starved to death, but fortunately, I met you later...... Bai Yuxuan was ruined by the woman next door who started as a secret prostitute, and now he is stupid all day long, sharpening scissors all day long, and he doesn't know me when I go to bring him food. ”
"Oh! Do you know how he became like this? ”
"Huang Xuemei knows witchcraft, she took Bai Yuxuan's soul away, and if the soul is gone, people will go crazy."
"Who said that you know sorcery? Have you ever seen Huang Xuemei's witchcraft? ”
"Everyone says so, Sister Huang Xuemei is all in this business, if she doesn't know witchcraft, how can anyone hook up, they don't look good, especially Huang Xuemei, people like her are the ancestral tomb is smoking, and Bai Yuxuan can't look down on him."
The more Zhao Donglai talked, the more angry he became, he had always been happy, I haven't seen him lose control of his emotions, and when he mentioned this Bai Yuxuan today, he was almost out of control.
I looked at Zhao Donglai in front of me, the soul was copied, so is this one the ontology, or is it copied?
This method of soul replication is a kind of witchcraft to save people, so it is generally necessary to put the main soul in the safest time and space, and the copied ones will suffer more damage and suffering, in fact, even if I don't look at it, I can probably guess which one this Zhao Donglai is.
But I still secretly urged the witchcraft, and looked at Zhao Donglai with my eyes.
For example, at this time, Zhao Donglai's soul eyes moved to the cheeks of the body, and Zhao Donglai also seemed to feel uncomfortable, rubbing his eyes with his hands, and his eyes seemed to have temporarily returned to their original positions.
"Zhao Donglai, are your eyes often uncomfortable?" I asked.
"Back to the shopkeeper, I was born with an old problem." Zhao Donglai was still looking down and picking rice.
"What's uncomfortable, let's hear it."
"It's just that after lowering your head for a long time, your eyes sometimes become blurry, and sometimes you can't see anything when it's serious, but as long as you rub it with your hands, sometimes you lie down, and your ears will slowly lose your ears, sometimes your nose can't smell the smell, you often have stomach pain, your body and hands and feet are often numb, sometimes your legs and feet won't move, and you have convulsions, but it's just good to rub it slowly, and sometimes my daughter-in-law will help me rub it when it's serious."
Zhao Donglai rubbed his eyes while picking the rice.
"Zhao Donglai, come over and I'll show you."
"Huh? Shopkeeper, will you rule? When I was a child, my father also went to a doctor to treat him, saying that he was brought from his mother's womb and could not be cured. Zhao Donglai looked up at me and said.
"Come here!"
Zhao Donglai stood up and slowly walked in front of me.
I spread out my hands, palms facing up, five fingers erected, the power of the five elements swirled on the fingers, gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively on the fingertips of the five fingers of the two hands, gold in the fingertips of the essence of a touch, wood in the fingertips of the grass and trees, water in the fingertips of a little wave, fire in the fingertips of a cluster of flames, soil in the fingertips of the soil and stone rolling.
This is the first time I have activated the power of the five elements, and I feel that there is a very novel power in my body that is beginning to surge.
Zhao Donglai's eyes widened as he looked at my hands.
I put my hands on Zhao Donglai's temples on both sides, pulled his soul to slowly reset, and used the power of the five elements to fill the deficiency in his soul, repair the damage on his soul, and finally fix it.
This time, I found that Zhao Donglai's soul had a feeling of being riddled with holes, as if he had been fatally injured by some kind of fatal injury.
The power of the curse is so terrifying.
I felt a little dizzy, swayed, and almost hit the shelf next to me.
"Shopkeeper!"
"Don't move!"
The dark red light of the ring on my hand was great, and I put my hands on the sides of Zhao Donglai's face again, this time, the power of the Black Taiji Mirror mobilized the energy of the five elements to slowly pour into Zhao Donglai's body, constantly repairing the damage on his soul.
As Zhao Donglai's soul was repaired little by little, there seemed to be a sense of guilt lurking in the depths of the bloodline.
I owe Zhao Donglai......
Finally, after a long time, Zhao Donglai's soul has been repaired.
Zhao Donglai rubbed his head for a while, touched his stomach for a while, stood in place and felt himself:
"Shopkeeper, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore, my legs don't numb, I feel that the whole person is very energetic, and my body is much more energetic, the shopkeeper, you are really amazing." Zhao Donglai said with a smile.
"Okay."
Zhao Donglai was very happy, and continued to bow his head to pick rice, while chatting with me, from his childhood to private school, to the present.
I can see that the time when he was in private school made him remember it very deeply, and when he talked about it, he talked about a lot of things at that time, and then his father, how good his father was, and then his son, who loved him very much......
It's a replica soul, but he's a living person.
One day, he will merge with himself in another time and space, and slowly lose all his thoughts and consciousness, and the replica will eventually have to repair the main body, which is the inevitable end of the replica in the soul replication.
In fact, copying the soul is a very cruel witchcraft, no matter how shining the copied soul has been in this world, how many cherished emotions it has had, and how meaningful and valuable it has lived, one day, all this will be obliterated and disappeared, and the purpose is to repair another soul.
I sat on the chair, watching Zhao Donglai pick rice, listening to him carefully, this feeling is so familiar in the dark, as if across countless histories and spaces, at some point in the past, I also sat like this, watching him pick a pile of fruits in front of him, while chattering about something......
I covered the ring on the index finger of my left hand with my hand, reached into the realm of Nali Mountain, took out a handful of red fruits, and stretched it out in front of Zhao Donglai:
"Zhao Donglai, try this."
"This smells so good, thank you shopkeeper."
Zhao Donglai's eyes lit up when he saw the fruit in my hand, and he took it in surprise, and immediately picked up one and took a bite:
"I've eaten this fruit." He blurted out.
"When have you eaten?"
"Hee-hee, I can't remember."
……
I think, if one day this Zhao Donglai in front of me and him in another time and space become one, I should miss him very much and don't want him to disappear, if I can't do this, what kind of big thing is it?
I searched my mind for the memories that I had recalled, but I could never find a way for the reproduced souls to retain their original thoughts and consciousness after they had reunited.
Just when I was thinking wildly, Zhao Donglai picked the rice, fetched water and washed it a few times, and then took it to the backyard. He also added water to the cauldron and lit the fire.
When he saw a pile of things I had brought with him on the ground next to the cauldron, he was instantly overjoyed.
"Shopkeeper, this is ......"
"Zhao Donglai, I will show you a hand today, and it will not be in vain for you to call me a god of food."
As I spoke, I began to wash the meat, cut the strips, and then starch the strips, then peel the preserved eggs, cut the preserved eggs, and cut the ginger, garlic, and chopped green onions.
Command Zhao Donglai to put the rice into the pot, boil, boil until the rice is already viscous, and then put the pulped meat strips into the pot, then sprinkle salt, sprinkle chicken essence, and pour oil...... In the end, I made a big pot of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork.
In fact, I don't know how to cook at all, these steps are also learned according to Du Niang's current before, after making such a pot, I don't want to eat it myself.
"Shopkeeper, this smells so good!" Zhao Donglai stared at the porridge pot with his eyes shining.
"Zhao Donglai, you can eat it first."
"Shopkeeper, you can eat too!"
"I'm not hungry!" I said and got up and walked outside.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and some tenants began to enter the courtyard one after another with dishes and chopsticks, probably last night I heard Zhao Dong say that he would drink porridge today and bring pickles.
Seeing that I was in the yard, these people were always a little timid and couldn't let go, so I thought it was better for me to hide out.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?" Zhao Donglai asked in the back.
"Wander around!"
I said and went out, and when I walked to the door, I glanced at the Xuemei Department Store next door, and it hadn't opened yet, I didn't know if this woman could get up and open the door today.
I walked slowly towards Bai Yuxuan's house.
When I arrived at the door of Bai Yuxuan's house, I heard the sound of "click" coming from inside, I pushed the door and entered, and saw that Bai Yuxuan was sitting in the yard sharpening scissors, even if I walked in, he didn't raise his head to take a look.
This Bai Yuxuan is not tall, thin and skinny, and his face is pale, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness, but the whole person is delicate.
I came to him and watched him sharpen his knife for a long, long time, and finally he finished it, and then he put the scissors in front of his eyes and kept looking at them, not talking or looking at me, as if he didn't see me at all.
I observed for a while and finally confirmed that he was locked in some place for the Heavenly Soul and the Destiny Soul.
