Chapter 15: Onizuka
Each grain of fluorescence represents a story before death, an unforgettable story that cannot be forgotten even after death.
For Chu Xie, who has entered the human kingdom since he was a child and picked up the heroes of the world, he has long been accustomed to seeing the passing of life, and the only death that touched him was the death of his dear grandfather. Chu Xie's grandfather, the father of Chu Tianya, the current peak master of White Bird Peak, was far less ambitious than Chu Tianya, and he stepped down from the position of peak master very early to concentrate on educating his three grandsons.
He advocated the development of personality, allowing Chu to embroider poems and songs, praise Confucianism and elegance, allow Chu to have a perverse personality and do his own thing, and allow Chu Fang to be bold and righteous and win the hearts of the people. Grandpa, he will always look at you gently, and no matter what you do, as long as it is not evil or unclean, he will support it. Grandpa He is also the only person in the world who really understands Chu Xie, only he knows that Chu Xie has a soft heart under his hard appearance, only he knows that Chu Xie is a genius who is rare to see for a thousand years, and every time he defeats an older opponent, he is actually not happy when he is resented; only he knows that his grandson is actually kind-hearted, and the strength he shows is just a means of defense to shield the outside world from slandering and jealousy of him.
Genius is always lonely, the so-called wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the pile is higher than the shore, the waves will be turbulent is the truth, genius from the moment he is born, he must bear the envy and jealousy of others, endure unwarranted criticism and attention, the world mostly describes geniuses as crazy, in fact, they are just too small.
Chu Xie's true feeling, on the entire White Bird Peak, only his most respected grandfather can understand, so whenever he is unhappy, he will always sit under his grandfather's lap, bow his head and say nothing, grandpa will not enlighten him, nor encourage him, just smile kindly and silently give companionship.
Grandpa's death made Chu Xie really uncomfortable for a while, and when he came to the cemetery at this moment, he touched the scene, recalled the old man's voice and smile before his death, and his eyes were still moist and red, and his heart was sad for a while. Chu Xie is by no means a ruthless and unrighteous person, he has flesh and blood, and he values love and righteousness, but there are too few people who are worthy of his affection, so he seems cold and indifferent.
Chu Xie walked forward, his tall figure was not very obvious under the moonlit night, and he walked into the depths of the cemetery step by step, seeing more and more fluorescent gatherings, and feeling the cold air becoming more and more biting.
Is it to enjoy the excitement of fighting with the strong man? Or is it to prevent the man in black from lurking and approaching for the second time and plotting against Shen Fei? If it is the former, it is in line with his previous character, but why when he was in Shangqiu City, he would rather stay in the house and take care of Ruoxue, saving Shen Fei from worrying about the future, instead of going to fight with the strong Linghu Hanging Boat! If it is the latter, does that prove that Chu Xie has regarded Shen Fei as a friend!
It's hard to tell, only he can know what he's thinking, and outsiders can only make judgments and speculations from the clues he shows.
The night was long, the cold moon was in the sky, and for some reason, the moon in the sky was shrouded in a layer of red frost under its bright appearance, which made the cemetery under the night even more weird. If Chu Xie really came to such a gloomy and terrifying place for Shen Fei to risk his own life, then his affection was really awe-inspiring.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The cemetery covers an extremely large area, like a city where the dead live, and the deeper you go, the deeper you go, the more forks in the road you will break, and the maze will generally have no end in sight. The so-called labyrinth, only when you are in it, you will not be able to distinguish the direction, once you stand on a high place and look at the overall situation, no matter how many forks in the road, no matter how complex the puzzle is, you can always find a straight line from the starting point to the end.
Chu Xie could have stood on a high place and overlooked the overall situation, but for some reason, he surrendered his identity and willingly fell into the labyrinth, which shows the importance of finding out the whereabouts of the black-robed man in his heart. If it's for his own interests and hobbies, it's easy to say, if it's for Shen Fei, then this friendship is very thick, and the most important thing is that he won't tell the other party what he did.
If you think about it carefully, Chu Xie and Shen Fei have amazing similarities, such as the two of them are equally amazing and beautiful, and they are unborn geniuses in the eyes of the world, for example, the two also have no friends, and for example, both of them are very handsome!
Normal people can already become best friends if they have one thing in common, and the two have so much in common that it may be difficult not to attract each other.
At the corner of a fork in the road, Chu Xie suddenly stopped, because he clearly saw a huge figure walking between the graves with its back hunched.
It was not a person, but a skeleton, a huge skeleton, no different from ordinary skeletons, but the size was very huge, from the perspective of his own standing, the huge skeleton was half a body higher than the tomb, the whole body was lying on its back, and it was holding a white lantern in its hand, and the lantern was written in black ink on all sides.
"Soul lamp, is it a guide!" Everyone knows that all things return to the underworld after death, cross the Naihe Bridge, and drink Meng Po soup to be reincarnated. The so-called guide is the messenger who guides the soul of the deceased into the underworld, and there is a passage in the "Book of Taoism" that is specifically used to describe it - the most heinous person is not allowed to be reincarnated after death, and the soul is bound to the bones, so that the king of Yama is driven to walk around the world to guide the dead into the underworld, so as to wash away the sins on the body, and can be reincarnated until the sins are paid off. This is the guide, the servant of the king of Yama, and his status is under the impermanence of black and white.
Seeing the "soul" lamp, the first thought in Chu Xie's heart was that the huge skeleton in front of him should be the guide recorded in the Zimu Sutra, a low-level ghost servant who pointed out the way for the living soul, and it should be harmless.
With this judgment, Chu Xie was a little settled in his heart, and took a detour, and sure enough, as he expected, even when he arrived at the closest place to the guide, the other party did not fail to look at him. The guide exists specifically to guide the soul into the underworld, and there is only the soul in his eyes, and wherever the "soul" lamp reaches, in the sky and on the ground, fragile souls have appeared, and Mu Ran follows behind him.
Souls are the most yin and cold things, and they will actively gather towards the most yin and cold places, and the cemetery is such a place, so a large number of lost spirits are gathered, and the appearance of the guide points them in the direction, and the souls line up to follow him.
"Over the years, I have killed a lot of people, and I won't become a guide after death, right?" Chu Xie touched the scene, and felt emotion in his heart.
At this time, there was a sudden change on the side of the guide, an alien spirit probably accumulated resentment before dying, the image was obviously more specific, and the figure was more burly and tall, he relied on his size advantage to forcibly cut the line, destroying the order of the team.
The other geists in the team dared to be angry with him but did not dare to speak, but the guide who looked stupid and stupid suddenly turned around and grabbed the geist who cut into the line: "Who is it, who allowed you to break the rules." It held a guiding light in one hand, and grabbed the geist with the other, relaxed and casual, the domineering geist in its hand a moment ago had no power to resist, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't get out.
"I hate unruly people the most. The guide clenched his fists, and the spirit broke into two under his palm, and shouted in horror: "Hey, what are you doing, you are just a slave under the king of Yama, a slave who is responsible for guiding us to the death, how dare you do this, I will go to the king of Yama to sue you." "He's already dead once, and he won't die again even if he is stopped and pinched by the guide, but his soul looks much weaker than before, and it's no longer so concrete.
The black hole eyes of the guide stared at it, and the exaggerated huge skull actually separated from the middle, and smiled very strangely: "Go to sue? The soul lamp swept away, and the flame in the lamp touched the body of the geist, and it was immediately ignited.
"Ahh The guide laughed weirdly again: "Hey, hey, you humans are just unruly and disgusting. When he spoke, he actually looked at where Chu Xie was, as if he saw him.
Chu Xie felt a chill in his heart, raised the heavy sword in his hand to make a vigilant gesture, but the guide was grinning, took back the soul lamp, turned around, and walked along the narrow path unique to the cemetery again.
"Ignorant humans. His words were very meaningful! The spirits followed, slowly gathering into a long line of the dead, lifeless and lifeless.
Chu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a madman, he still didn't dare to be careless in the face of the filth of the netherworld, and he was even more reluctant to make more contact, grandpa once said that the things in the netherworld were too cold, and long-term contact would affect his own yang energy, so he needed to avoid it.
Circling around the back of the spirit's procession, Chu Xie continued to walk deeper into the cemetery, and he had a hunch that he might have come to the right place.
The yin wind blew, the cold air gathered, and it went deep into the deepest part of the cemetery, and four glass lamps appeared in front of Chu Xie's eyes. The lantern is hung on the leg bones of unknown animals, enclosing a square square of equal length on each side, the leg bones of the animal responsible for hanging it are about two meters long, one end is submerged in the soil, one end is hung with a glass lamp, and a hemp rope is tied about a foot away from the lamp, connecting the four leg bones and the four lamps as a whole.
Chu Xie stepped forward, suddenly smelled the strong smell of blood, frowned and looked carefully, only to find that the connection between the leg bones was not hemp rope, but the meat tendons that still had residual temperature, looking at the length, I don't know how many living people have to take their tendons from the body, before they can be braided into hemp rope to use, to achieve such a length.
Chu Xie felt disgusted, and stared at the black-robed man who opened his eyes in the night without saying a word. The black-robed man sat in the center of the square space surrounded by four lights, which was originally also a tomb, but the tombstone was forcibly shattered by a huge external force, leaving a base slightly higher than the ground, and the black-robed man sat on it.
The arrival of Chu Xie caused the disturbance of the direction of the wind, causing the brightness of the four glass lamps, and the black-robed man raised his head, and the eyes hidden under the hood radiated for the first time, which was the kind of faint green and miserable light, full of gloom and malice.
"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Chu Xie. This was the first time the black-robed man spoke, his voice hoarse, like a gong broken by a hammer, the wide robe fluttered exaggeratedly in the wind, and it felt that his body must be very thin, otherwise the robe on his body would not be as violently shaken in the wind, and the scepter was inserted in the open space beside him, within reach.
"Knowing Uncle Ben proves that you already know Shen Fei, are you also a member of the Tongtian Sect!" Chu Xie said as he calculated the distance between himself and the black-robed man, and at the same time was thinking about the role of the existence of the glazed cup, which must be a defensive formation arranged by the black-robed man to defend him against sudden sneak attacks, "It's really ghostly." ”
"It seems that those people from the Tongtian Sect have caused you a lot of trouble. ”
"You're not from Tongtian?"
"Hehe, you're talking to me. ”
"Hehe, see if you want to say it. ”
"Learn me to speak, what a naughty child. ”
"When you see a child and turn around and run, isn't it even worse than a child? ”
"I won't run this time. ”
"Because this is your home turf!"
"Because this is not the City Lord's Mansion, killing you won't alarm the others. ”
"Just kidding, just because you want to kill Uncle Ben too. ”
"Chu Xie, you really don't know how thick the sky is, you really think that the boss of heaven is your second child! The people you have been invited to fight over the years are all unpopular guys, and it is understandable that you have defeated them, and it can't be said how strong you are. ”
"Tut-tut, since that's the case, let Uncle Ben see how powerful you are. ”
"It just so happens that I don't have a strong guard by my side, and it's you. The black-robed man raised his scepter, and the hollow eyes of the goat's skull radiated light, and at the same time, the four glass lamps shone brightly, as if in response to each other.
The next moment, the ground shook, and the sound of "dong dong" penetrated deep into the heart, as if some extremely terrifying monster was about to break through the ground.
"Are you...... Are you a member of the Demon Sect who worships the Demon Sect?" Chu Xie suddenly figured out something, and a strong vigilance arose in his heart.
"I don't know now that it's too late, little ghost in Shushan!"
......
The Demon Sect uses the power of one sect to fight against the three major sects of the Righteous Path, and its strength is terrifying. It is divided into two sects and three halls, the left and right protectors, and only the head of the sect is qualified to give orders to them.
After the disappearance of the Water Monarch Moon for no reason, the Demon Sect was leaderless, and the Sect Master of the Hades Sect, who had been obscure for a long time, led the Hades Sect to rise up, united with the Hehuan Hall, and subdued the other halls by force, and finally achieved results, and is now the de facto leader of the Demon Sect, only one step away from the rightful inheritance of the sect leader.
Originally, the Ghost Worship Sect, which was ranked with the Hades King Sect, gradually fell behind in the battle, but it was still an extremely powerful sect, and its disciples practiced the art of resisting ghosts, and played a pivotal role in the previous wars of good and evil.
