Chapter 151: The Old Man

"Ling'er, Ling'er......" Jin Feng called for a long time, but the night spirit did not appear.

"Jin Feng, don't shout, that child of the night spirit must be having fun in the human world, don't be too anxious, with Feiyu with her, she will be fine." ”

The fox king didn't know when she had appeared behind Jin Feng, she hurriedly saluted, but was helped up by the fox king's hands, choked up: "Your Majesty, it's all my fault, Ling'er hasn't returned yet, I'm worried that something will happen to her, can the king let Jin Feng go out to find her?"

The fox king sighed heavily, originally the night spirit had not returned for a long time, he was indeed very angry, and even almost became angry with Jin Feng because of this.

But these two days Jinfeng tea and dinner did not think, standing on the top of Meishan all day long, almost looking at it, these are in his eyes, for more than two hundred years, she has always regarded Ling'er and Tanuki as her own, even his biological father may not be as good as her, such a sincere woman, how can he bear to be harsh on her.

"Don't worry, Fei Yu has been with me for thousands of years, I naturally know his ability, with him, Ling'er will be fine. ”

"But ......"

"Don't be, for two hundred years, this king has been busy with government affairs, and he owes you something, you have been pestered by those two little girls all day, and you are really tired enough, finally they are not there, you and I can also enjoy the life of the two, let them go! ”

"Your Majesty," Jin Feng leaned on the Fox King's arms with satisfaction, his efforts for more than two hundred years were not in vain, he saw it, and it was enough.

............

The night spirit actually did not go far, she had been hiding behind the boulder next to the pine tree, and listened to all the conversations between the fox king and the golden phoenix, and her father did not anger Aunt Feng because of herself, she was very happy.

Ling Cheng looked at her with a wicked smile on his face, and couldn't help but joke: "The fox king has said that you want to enjoy the life of the two, are you sure you want to go back?"

"I..." Ye Ling wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, Aunt Feng had done enough for herself and the little fox, she always knew that although Jin Feng was the queen of the fox clan, the fox king was very alienated from her, and she married her because she and the little fox needed someone to take care of her, and it happened that Jin Feng was willing, so she became her own Aunt Feng.

The fox king has always had only her mother in her heart, and it has always been a routine for Jin Feng, Rao is like this, Jin Feng still takes care of the Night Spirit sisters with no complaints, and has never complained at all.

This time, Aunt Feng's efforts finally got the due reward, and she really shouldn't go back to disturb the cleanliness of the two of them.

"Hey, hey, what's the matter, what about you?" Ling Cheng stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, completely pulling the night spirit's thoughts back.

"You're right, my father has already acquiesced to me playing in this world for a while longer, so I'm welcome. ”

The night spirit untied the knot and began to run forward again, and it was great that he could go to the mortal world to play again!

Ling Cheng looked at her distant back, smiled, and immediately chased after her.

When night fell, the two came to a small village at the foot of Lingxi Mountain, although it is surrounded by aura here, cool all year round, but because Lingxi Mountain is the boundary of the fox clan, it is sparsely populated, and only some villagers who have lived here for generations are reluctant to move away.

Night Spirit: "Why is it so quiet here, what does it always feel strange?"

"It really shouldn't be, how can there be no figure, not even a light?" Ling Cheng consciously pulled the night spirit behind him, and clenched the evil spirit, there must be a demon when things go wrong, for the sake of the night spirit, you can't be careless.

The night spirit let him pull her, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart, and she seemed to understand the kind of liking he said.

But the little fox was not happy at this time, she poked her head out of the night spirit's sleeve, and immediately turned back into her real body and jumped into the night spirit's arms, whining and screaming for a while.

It's hungry and hasn't eaten since it was in the morning, so naturally it's going to complain.

Night Spirit lowered his eyes and coaxed: "Little fox, don't make trouble, sister will find you something to eat later, you go back and stay first, good ha." ”

Although the Neithon is only less than a hundred years older than the Night Beaver, the Night Beaver was born without a mother, so the Night Spirit takes good care of it. Because of this, it has learned to be lazy and lazy, cultivating as an adult or something, and it is tired and panicked, so it naturally enjoys everyone's pampering of her, including the night spirit.

Hearing her sister say this, the little fox was immediately unhappy, whining and complaining, while scratching the dress of the night spirit with its little paws, trying to vent its dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Ling Cheng took out the dry food he had brought with him and gave it to him.

The little fox saw that it was nothing more than a pancake, but it was a carnivore, and immediately gave him a displeased look to kill, and then obediently burrowed back into the sleeve of the night spirit.

Seeing Ling Cheng's embarrassed appearance, Ye Ling reached out and took it, took a bite without hesitation, and said with a vague smile: "It just so happens that I'm also hungry, I'm not a picky eater." ”

Ling Cheng looked at her, and felt that the luckiest thing in this life was to meet the night spirit, and with her by her side, this life was enough!

"Ahem......"

A violent cough broke the silence, and when she looked up, an old man in a crane-haired green coat was leaning over her body, walking slowly with a cane, she was dressed plainly, and her face was full of traces left by the years.

Ling Cheng protected the night spirit behind him, and without saying a word, he waited for the old man to approach.

The night spirit poked his head out and looked her up and down, is this the old suffering of the seven hardships of life that Ling Cheng said? Will Ling Cheng be like her one day?

The old man finally stepped in front of him, and when his center of gravity was unstable and he was about to fall, the night spirit hurriedly stepped forward to support her, only to feel that her whole body was cold and stiff as if there was no temperature.

Night Spirit: "Old man, it's so late, why are you here alone, and what about your children? What about the others? Why is there no one?"

The old man looked up with difficulty, but did not answer her question, and said slowly: "Girl, it is late at night, so don't get entangled in unclean things." ”

The old man walked with difficulty, completely ignoring the night spirit's surprised look.

Ling Cheng suddenly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Old man, look, it's already so late, and we can't find any other place to live in the wilderness, I wonder if the old man can take us in for one night?"

The old man looked around, and finally replied with difficulty, "Come with me!"

Ye Ling looked at Ling Cheng suspiciously, he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, although there were no people here, but there were a lot of dilapidated houses, if you wanted to find a place to live, wouldn't it be everywhere?

Ling Cheng directly pulled her to follow, the old man's home was not far away, it was only a hundred steps away, but because the old man's pace was slow, he walked for nearly half an hour.

When the old man pushed the door in, a pungent musty smell hit her face, and she lit the oil lamp on the table, and then sat down with difficulty.

The night spirit looked around, and saw that in addition to a dilapidated wooden bed and table, there was only an old wooden cabinet, and the beams were so tattered that they seemed to collapse when the wind blew, and the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs, and a thin layer of ash had already accumulated on the ground.

It doesn't look like a place like it was inhabited, so why did she bring us here?

"I only have two rooms here, see how you can live there!" the old man coughed violently after asking, and although he was asking for their opinions, he never looked up from beginning to end, and did not seem to welcome them.

"I slept with Ling Cheng. The Night Spirit blurted out without much thought, after all, such a strange place, living with a person who was cold all over, it was a little scary to think about.

When Ling Cheng heard this, his face turned a little red again, this girl, people clearly asked about living, she just said that she was sleeping, and Rao was a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was.

The old man raised his head with difficulty, but there was an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling: "Girl, are you married?"

The night spirit shook his head and said, "We've known each other for three days, can't we sleep together?"

The old man glared at Ling Cheng, feeling that this girl had been abducted by him! He immediately spoke: "You still live with the old woman! ”

When Ling Cheng heard this, he immediately pulled the night spirit behind him and responded: "Old man, she doesn't like to come into contact with strangers, I'd better take her to another room, I'm sorry!"

The night spirit was still digesting what the two of them meant, and was dragged out of the room by Ling Cheng, and the old man shook his head, so he didn't force it.

At this time, it was already pitch black outside, Ling Cheng blew the fire fold he was carrying, pushed the door into another room, lit the oil lamp on the table, and began to look around.

This room was furnished the same as before, and there was dust everywhere, and the night spirit sighed: "Ling Cheng, do you think this place can live in people? Let's just go to the street and squat for the night, why do you have to come along?"

Ling Cheng looked around and replied, "Don't you think that old man is a little strange?"

"Strange? Oh, yes! When I helped her just now, I found that her whole body was cold and stiff, as if she was dead. ”

Seeing Ling Cheng nodding, the night spirit immediately asked, "Are you saying that she is dead, but shouldn't people be reincarnated when they die?"

"Man has three souls and seven souls, and after death, the seven souls are scattered first, and then the three souls are leaving. These three souls are the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the life soul, after death, the heavenly soul returns to the heavenly way, the life soul returns to the underworld, and the earth soul is entrenched in the cemetery, if you want to be reincarnated, you need to have the three souls gather and regenerate the seven spirits!"

The night spirit scratched his head in confusion, what was this, he didn't understand it at all.

Ling Cheng continued to explain: "The main light of the heavenly soul, the earth soul is the shadow of the light of the heavenly soul shining on the soul of the living, only the soul is the main soul of the human body, because the soul of the body dominates the good and evil of the body in the world, therefore, after the death of the body, the soul will enter the land of cause and effect again, and most of the souls will return to the underworld after seven days, count the right and wrong in front of them, and then reincarnate again according to the rules of the underworld.

Only the other person, because the resentment in his heart is too deep, or stubborn and ignorant, unable to abandon the mortal obsession and fear of the underworld, wandering at the junction of the two worlds for a long time, after 7749 days, the underworld does not collect, and the dust does not recognize, and he becomes a lonely soul and a wild ghost.

Most of the time, the Earth Soul and the Life Soul will reunite after seven days and be reincarnated first, and when the new life is about to be born, the Heavenly Soul will reunite with the two and then reincarnate as a human. ”

The night spirit was puzzled: "It stands to reason that the old man is old, he should be smiling at Jiuquan, how can he leave a soul to wander here alone?"

"There is also a special situation in which the heavenly soul and the life soul are dispersed, leaving the earth soul alone to wander in the world, because the earth soul is only light and shadow, and has no autonomous consciousness, so they do not know that they are dead, so they remain the same as before death, wandering in the place where they lived before death, and continue to live the life of a living person. ”

"According to you, the earth soul has no autonomous consciousness, but she was clearly asking us a question just now, how can this be explained?"
