Chapter 13: Crossing the Soul
Zhou Shaojin admits that he is not a hard-hearted person, at this moment, when he looked at Zhou Guihua, his heart couldn't stop trembling, a little uncomfortable, in the bottom of his heart, he also had the heart to help Zhou Guihua, but only he knew that although he was impermanent, in addition to some basic abilities given to him by the Impermanence Order, he was only a mortal now.
"I can't help you, people and ghosts have different paths, and I can't do anything. Looking at the pleading look in Zhou Guihua's eyes, Zhou Shaojin could only sigh slightly in his heart: "You get up, I really can't help you, people have a world, ghosts have a ghost world, I'm just a lowest-level impermanence in the underworld, I can't help you." ”
"Give you ten minutes, take a good look and deal with it, there's only so much I can help you. ”
In the end, Zhou Shaojin said a word to Zhou Guihua, and then stopped paying attention to Zhou Guihua, turned around and walked out of the room, and no longer paid attention to Zhou Guihua who was kneeling on the ground behind him, but although he walked out of the room, Zhou Shaojin only walked to the door of the room, always vigilant of Zhou Guihua's every move inside.
Standing at the door of the room, Zhou Shaojin didn't go far, but he didn't peek inside or anything, people have birth, old age, sickness and death, this is something that everyone has to experience, although he was a little touched by Zhou Guihua's situation in his heart, but he was not so emotional that he was desperate to help Zhou Guihua, he didn't have a virgin heart.
Giving Zhou Guihua these ten minutes is already his limit, because the sky will be bright around half past five in the summer, so he must send Zhou Guihua back to the underworld before half past five and then return to the body, otherwise when the sun comes out, his soul will not be able to return to the body in time, even if there is impermanence protection, he is most likely to be illuminated by the sun's rays and his soul is scattered, as for what Zhou Guihua does in these ten minutes is her business.
Standing at the door of the room, Zhou Shaojin silently read the time in his heart, about a moment later, Zhou Shaojin walked into the room again, when he walked into the room, he saw Zhou Guihua sitting silently on the edge of the bed looking at Liu Guodong's face, at this time Liu Guodong seemed to have recovered from his sadness, slowly stood up, and began to tidy up Zhou Guihua's body on the bed.
"Let's go, it's time" Zhou Shaojin glanced at it, and then said: "The cycle of the four seasons, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the normal state of all things, your life has come to an end, maybe now you are sad in your heart, but when you get to the underworld, cross the Nai He Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, cut off the fate of this life, don't remember anything, naturally you won't be sentimental." ”
Listening to Zhou Shaojin's words, Zhou Guihua's head slowly rose, looked at him, did not speak, but his body slowly stood up, seeing this, Zhou Shaojin turned around and walked out of the room, Zhou Guihua also slowly followed Zhou Shaojin, the two of them were in Zhou's house one after the other, there was no sound, and Li Lan and Liu Guodong in the room did not know at all.
Came to the open space outside Liu's house, Zhou Shaojin asked Zhou Guihua to stand five or six meters in front of him, and he held the Soul Sutra in his left hand, and recited it according to the scriptures in his mind。
“#¥#%#¥......%......@!@#@#%%......”
Zhou Shaojin opened his mouth and recited the Soul Sutra that he couldn't understand, but with his recitation, he clearly saw that on Zhou Guihua's body, a Taoist light rose, and at this time Zhou Guihua also obviously saw his own situation, and looked around with some curiosity and anxiety, but Zhou Shaojin didn't care and continued to recite this Soul Sutra.
This is his first official job since he took office and became impermanent, although everything seems to be going well at the moment, but he does not dare to take it lightly, and reiterates the Soul Sutra in a hurry according to the memory in his mind.
A little bit of silver light rose from Zhou Guihua's body, in Zhou Shaojin's sight, as he recited the Soul Sutra, the silver light on Zhou Guihua's body became more and more prosperous, and in the end, as Zhou Shaojin finished reciting the Soul Sutra, Zhou Guihua's entire body was directly radiant, directly turning into a silver beam of light that shot into the sky and then disappeared!
This situation is a bit unexpected, and the scene is also different from the picture imagined by Zhou Shaojin, in his mind, the soul of Zhou Guihua should be opened in the end, and then one or two yin divisions will come out, such as bull head and horse noodles or something to escort Zhou Guihua back to the underworld or something, but the result is that Zhou Guihua directly turned into a silver light and disappeared.
"Ding Dong, impermanence Zhou Shaojin, a super new soul, reward merit points: 1!"
The information of the Impermanence Order in his mind came, which shocked Zhou Shaojin's spirit slightly, and he hurriedly opened the personal information of the Impermanence Order, and sure enough, the merit points changed from the original 90 to 91, and they rose a little.
"It's just a little bit!"
The corners of Zhou Shaojin's mouth twitched slightly, a little disappointed, surpassing Zhou Guihua is only a little merit point, doesn't that mean that he has to make up a hundred merit points and surpass the souls of nine dead people, although people are dying every day in the world, but the scope of impermanence is obviously limited, if he stays at home, God knows when he will have to make up the remaining nine merit points.
Zhou Shaojin didn't want to wait!
Looking at the sky, Zhou Shaojin was not sure about the specific time, but it was not too early to think about it, and finally glanced at the Liu family, Zhou Shaojin turned around and left, about twenty minutes later, Zhou Shaojin returned to his home, and the soul returned to the body, but the moment the soul just returned to the body, it was the same as last time, a huge tiredness and sleepiness hit, and this time it was even stronger, and it was accompanied by a sharp pain in the heads as if they were about to explode.
................................
"Shaojin, get up and eat, you can't get up after eating!"
The next day, early in the morning, the voice of her mother Yin Jinlian sounded, and Zhou Shaojin lay on the bed in a daze, only feeling that her whole body was sore and weak, and it was difficult to even open her eyes.
"It's past nine o'clock, and I haven't gotten up to wash up and eat. ”
"Mom, you eat first, I'll sleep for a while!"
Zhou Shaojin struggled to raise his head, and just saw that his mother had already walked to the door of the room, so he opened his mouth to say something, and then turned his head and continued to follow.
"This kid. ”
Yin Jinlian looked at the door, but in the end, she didn't call Zhou Shaojin again, shook her head and went downstairs.
fell asleep in a daze, Zhou Shaojin slept very deeply, and when she woke up again, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and when she got up, her mother had already started to make dinner.
"What did you do last night, I couldn't wake up when I helped Uncle Yun two days ago, and it's the same today?"
Walking into the house, my mother was cooking, and my father was washing vegetables next to me.
"You're not sick, are you?" asked my father.
"No, I slept too late on my phone last night. ”
Zhou Shaojin grinned and found a reason to lie.
"Don't be too late next time, it's not good for your eyes to see too much on your phone. Dad cared.
"The next time you dare to play with your mobile phone and don't sleep in the middle of the night, I will confiscate your mobile phone. Mom was half-threatening.
"Uh-huh.."
Zhou Shaojin nodded violently like a chicken pecking rice, and then picked up towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and basins and walked out of the house to wash.
After dinner, the time was more than seven o'clock, at this time Zhou Shaojin saw the third uncle Zhou Yi again, just came back from the stage, chatted with his parents and grandfather for a while, and told his parents and grandfather Zhou Fu about Zhou Guihua's death, Zhou Shaojin listened to it on the side, but it was not moving, his parents and grandfather Zhou Fu did not have much emotional fluctuations when they heard the news of Zhou Guihua's death, although Zhou Guihua and his family were a little related, but in fact, there was not much communication between the two parties, so Zhou Guihua's death was of little significance to Zhou Shaojin's family, at most it was to go to Liu's house tomorrow to burn incense according to the feelings。
Night began to fall, which made Zhou Shaojin sigh a little, this day is really fast, his younger brother Zhou Shaoxuan has not come back, and there is no superfluous entertainment in the countryside, most of the time there is only watching TV at night, Zhou Shaojin and his parents, parents and grandfather watched TV together for a while, but they watched an anti-Japanese drama, Zhou Shaojin was still bored after watching it for a while, and went upstairs after watching an episode.
"Looks like we've got to figure out something. ”
