The sun rises and the moon sets, the day and night change, and four days have passed in a blink of an eye, the countryside in summer is not a busy farming season, coupled with the hot weather, no one wants to do things in a big fireball, basically it can be said that there is nothing to do, Zhou Shaojin has nothing to do at home, these four days, he has been thinking about how to get merit points quickly, but he has no clue.

There are some immature and risky ideas in his heart, but because he is at home, he is also worried about being seen by his family or acquaintances, the conditions are limited, and he cannot implement it at all, and all kinds of reasons together have caused his current embarrassing situation, he is eager to get points to buy the exercises in the impermanence order, but it just can't solve the problem of points, this feeling makes him a little depressed, like seeing a mountain of gold, but you can't get it.

In the morning, after breakfast, it was more than eight o'clock, the sun was rising, Zhou Shaojin took a stool and sat down under the big osmanthus tree in front of the house, holding a mobile phone in his hand and playing.

"Where did you go out early in the morning, you're only coming back now" "Go see my aunt, my brother Peng called last night and said that my aunt can't get out of bed..."

The sound of the conversation came from the side of the road on the left side of the house, Zhou Shaojin heard the sound and looked, and saw his mother talking to his fourth grandfather's son Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi is the third son of his fourth grandfather, Zhou Shaojin is called the third uncle.

"Third uncle!" When Zhou Shaojin looked over, he happened to see Zhou Yi also looking at him, so he shouted with a smile.

"Shaojin is getting more and more handsome, you can find a few girlfriends when you go to Beijing!" Zhou Yi's personality is not the calm and serious one, although he is older than Zhou Shaojin, and he is nearly thirty years old, and the children are five or six years old, but he often jokes and jokes when he sees him.

"Girlfriend, I want to find a few in Beijing, but I'm afraid it's too far away, and my mother doesn't agree. Zhou Shaojin also half-jokingly said: "Why don't you help me enlighten my mother?"

"It's okay, your mom is here, I'll tell her. ”

As long as you have the ability, not to mention finding a girlfriend in Beijing, I am happy to find a girlfriend abroad, but I am afraid that if you don't have that ability, people will not look down on you. ”

Yin Jinlian also opened her mouth when she heard this, and Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing when she heard it-

"Did you hear that, Shaojin, your mother has already spoken, she said so, then you can find a foreign girlfriend to bring back to her during the New Year. ”

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and didn't take the joke to heart, but I have to say that after graduating from the college entrance examination, many of them have changed a lot unconsciously, just like now, if it was before his college entrance examination, if he said that he was looking for a girlfriend, the family would not say that he was resolutely opposed, but he would never agree, but now listening to his mother's words, although it was just a joke, he could hear that if he said that he was looking for a girlfriend at this time, I am afraid he would never object or disagree or anything.

There was a faint smile on his face, but the next moment, Zhou Shaojin's face was pale, and a message suddenly came from the impermanence in his mind-

"Zhou Guihua, died at 3:10 tonight, at the age of seventy-one!"

In his mind, such a piece of information suddenly appeared, which made Zhou Shaojin's expression pause for a moment, and even his whole body stiffened, so at this time, neither his third uncle Zhou Yi nor his mother Yin Jinlian paid attention to him, and naturally no one noticed that he was wrong at this moment!

"This is another function of the Order of Impermanence, perceiving life and death?"

Zhou Shaojin's eyes moved, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes, he knew that this should be another function of the Impermanence Order - perceiving life and death!

The impermanence order has two functions, one is to help him achieve the soul out of the body, and the other is to perceive the life and death of people within a certain range, the soul out of the body he has experimented, but the perception of life and death makes him unable to experiment, which is equivalent to a passive function of the impermanence order, Zhou Shaojin has never been clear about the situation of the collective, and only has a general idea in his heart, but now he thinks he has a clear idea of this function.

Before a person dies, tell him the news of the deceased in advance, including the name and the specific time of death, and determine whether the person lives or dies!

This is definitely a means of gods and ghosts, although he has now become impermanence and knows the existence of ghosts and gods in this world, but now he is still a little uncalm when he gets the information from the impermanence order, and he can't help but guess whether there really exists a book called the Book of Life and Death in the underworld, which records the life and death of living beings in the world.

However, after only a moment of divergence, Zhou Shaojin calmed down, and after a short period of mood ups and downs, he was replaced by an excitement, these days, he has been frowning about getting merit points, but now this information is definitely a relief for him, and the only thing to figure out now is who is this Zhou Guihua? Where does he live?

Although the news from the Impermanence Order told him the name and specific time of the deceased, the information was only unknown to Zhou Shaojin, such as where the deceased lived and how far away from his home was not clear.

Although he felt that the information given by the Impermanence Order was not comprehensive, but Zhou Shaojin was not the time to dwell on this at this time, what he had to do now was to determine who this Zhou Guihua was and lived there, but the other party's surname was Zhou, and he had the same surname as himself, he guessed that it might have something to do with him, and thinking of the conversation between his third uncle and his mother just now, he had a faint guess in his heart.

Looking up, the third uncle Zhou Yi had already left, and his mother also walked over with a bucket, ready to go to the water tank to fetch water.

"Mom, who is his aunt that the third uncle said just now?" Zhou Shaojin asked his mother.

"Why, why are you asking this? It has nothing to do with you?" asked his mother.

"It's just curious, the third uncle's aunt is not the same generation as my grandfather, and her surname is Zhou, so I asked to see if it was our relative. Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, deliberately with a bit of curiosity on his face.

"It's kind of a little pro. Hearing Zhou Shaojin's answer, Yin Jinlian didn't think much about it, and thought about it: "Count it out, your third uncle's aunt is a distant cousin of your grandfather, but she hasn't moved around for decades, and she doesn't know if she knows each other when she meets her, her name seems to be Zhou Guihua, and now she lives on the stage, it is Liu Er's mother-in-law, Liu Er, you should know, the chubby one who studied with you in elementary school." ”

"Oh, Liu Er, then I know. ”

Hearing his mother's words, Zhou Shaojin came to his senses in an instant, Zhou Guihua He didn't know, but Liu Er he knew that his primary school classmates from the fourth grade to the sixth grade for three years, at that time Liu Er was a little fat man, and he often played together, he remembered it very clearly, and Liu Er's family lived on the stage, and the next village below their Songzhu Village was very close, less than three miles away.

As for what my mother said about not moving for decades, Zhou Shaojin can also understand, these years, it is not a little blood relationship, the relationship with the same surname must be good, in fact, many times, even if the relatives are far away, they will be rusty if they do not move around all the year round, and the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors is the best indication.

"That shouldn't be wrong. ”

Slightly relieved in his heart, under the inquiry, Zhou Shaojin knew that the Zhou Guihua in the Impermanence Order should be the aunt of his third uncle, and from the words of the third uncle just now, it can be judged that Zhou Guihua can no longer get out of bed, and she is obviously terminally ill, everything is reasonable.

"I wonder how big the perceptual range of impermanence is?"

After determining Zhou Guihua's identity, Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but think of a question, that is, the scope of impermanence in the perception of life and death, the information in the impermanence order is that the impermanence order can perceive the life and death of people within a certain range, but there is no fixed number of how big this certain range is, Zhou Guihua lives on the stage, and there is only a place where three miles meet between the two places of his house, so what about the farther places, whether the impermanence of life and death of people in places more than three miles away can be perceived.

None of this is known.

In the past few days, Zhou Shaojin has been thinking about how to obtain more merit points in the Impermanence Order, and he faintly feels that if he only relies on the death of a person, he will send the soul of the deceased back to the underworld so that it is unreliable to obtain merit points to meet his needs, and he needs to find a new way.

At one point, he thought about trying to find the ghost himself, but it was only an idea, not an action, and if he wanted to do it, he had to leave the house and go outside.

"Let's go and send that Zhou Guihua's soul back to the underworld tonight to see the situation. ”
