Stand-in (Kavin, send a short story for everyone to enjoy)
Therefore, according to old legends, if a person dies unexpectedly, he will not be able to be reincarnated, unless there is another person who dies in the same place because of the same accident.
Therefore, ghosts that cannot be reincarnated will find people with bad luck to cause accidents, and this behavior is called finding a substitute.
The wind rises
In the cold winter, it is dark, and it is time to get off work.
Lan Bing walked out of the office building where the company was located to get the electric car, and when he raised his hand to hold the door, his eyes swept over the beautiful bow made of red rope on the tail finger of his right hand, and a smile immediately appeared on his mature and beautiful face, and he said to himself in an inaudible voice: "This Xiaolinzi!"
A little funny, a little helpless, and a little annoyed, intertwined on the face exudes a touching style, which is heart-pounding.
"Xiao Linzi" is named Lin Fan, a somewhat lazy young man, always with a ball of red rope, just when he got off work, he didn't know how to tie a bow for her, and without waiting for her to refuse, he had already tied the bow on her hand, and then ran away without a trace.
Lan Bing shook his head lightly, and smiled secretly in his heart: "If it weren't for knowing that Xiao Linzi has always regarded herself as a sister, would you think that this stupid boy wants to pursue himself in such a clumsy way."
However, if you don't see such a beautiful bow that you can't bear to take off, you can't believe it's made by a lazy boy who is so sloppy that he can't even find a girlfriend!"
The red light turned on, Lan Bing pinched the brakes, but the electric car did not stop, but rushed to the traffic in front at a faster speed as if someone was pushing behind.
Lan Bing wanted to use other methods to stop or leave the electric car to get out of the situation, but found that his body could not move a single minute.
A look of horror and despair appeared in her eyes, as if she had seen the blurred sight of her flesh and blood being struck.
At that moment, her gloved right hand lit up with a faint reddish glow, illuminating her frightened eyes through the glove, and a butterfly composed of pale red light flapped its wings and flew out of the glove and onto her shoulder.
A terrible, frightened woman's scream rang in her ears, and then, the brakes snapped the wheels, and the electric car finally stopped at the last moment.
Lan Bing got off the electric car in a cold sweat, the cold wind suddenly rose, and the cold snap broadcast by the weather forecast came to the city.
farce
At midnight, due to the invasion of the cold snap, the pedestrians on the road have disappeared, Lin Fan moved slowly on the road, and sighed at the same time: "I'm afraid of trouble and go for trouble, isn't it uncomfortable to find it, hey-"
In fact, he is just talking, although the indifferent interpersonal relationships in the city are indifferent to his former enthusiasm, but for Lan Bing, who gives his sister general care and care, as long as it is within the scope of his ability, he does not mind and is not afraid of getting into any trouble.
Therefore, when he found out in the company that Lan Bing Yintang was secretly in the dark and was about to have a life-threatening disaster, he decided to help Lan Bing survive this catastrophe without any consideration, so there was a matter of him tying a bow on Lan Bing's finger.
The bow had conveyed to him the dangers that had befallen Lan Bing.
Coming to the intersection where Lan Bing almost had a traffic accident, Lin Fan took out a piece of red rope and tied it into a bow and put it flat in the palm of his hand. A pale red glow envelops the bow, creating a lifelike butterfly with a bow as a skeleton and a pale red glow. Butterflies flapped their wings and flew into the air and disappeared into the night under the streetlights.
The red rope of marriage is the name of the red rope in his hand, and the thread of marriage is the ultimate goal of his practice, and he is the personal disciple of Yue Lao.
He was born with yin and yang eyes, since he was a child, he can see things that ordinary people can't see, so he has become a talking child in the eyes of the people around him, causing his withdrawn character, when he was eight years old, he went alone to the ruined Yuelao Temple to play, saw the old Yue who sighed in front of the temple, and formed a master-apprentice relationship with the old Yue.
In Yue Lao's words, it is right that he can see hidden traces with yin and yang eyes, but if there is no fate, it is still impossible for him and Lin Fan to meet, in this case, why not let the fate go deeper, this is the reason why Lin Fan is accepted as an apprentice.
The heir of the old moon, the dazzling halo hidden behind Lin Fan's ordinary blue-collar workers.
Su Yun curled up in a sheltered corner, although she was already a ghost and she didn't feel cold, but this appearance could make her fantasize about the feeling of cold and heat, fantasizing about still having life, and the accident six days ago was just a nightmare.
At 10:36 a.m. that day, she passed by and was hit by a Mercedes that rushed onto the roadway, killing her instantly. It's just that her longevity is not over, and she can't be reincarnated, so she can only stay in the world and become a lonely ghost, unless another person who has not finished her life dies unexpectedly at this intersection.
"What a beautiful butterfly!" The light in the darkness caught Su Yun's attention, and a butterfly with a bow as a skeleton and a pale red shimmer flapped its wings and flew towards her.
Su Yun reached out to catch the butterfly, but the butterfly deftly flashed and landed on her head, and then, she found that she had lost the control of her body, and she couldn't help but stand up and walk forward step by step.
Horror slowly filled her beautiful eyes, since there are ghosts, there are naturally people and tools to catch ghosts, and this butterfly is obviously a tool for catching ghosts.
The milky white trench coat, the long black hair like a waterfall, the mature and beautiful face, the big eyes are moving and charming, and the horror in the eyes like a kitten is even more caring. Looking at Su Yun, Lin Fan took out a cigarette and lit it, sighing with the smoke he spitted out: "Tianyan is jealous!"
Hearing Lin Fan's regretful words, Su Yun, who came to Lin Fan involuntarily, looked stunned, and slowly came back to his senses, the horror in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his eyes rippled with a style that made the mouth dry, this is the only weapon of a weak and helpless woman, and it is also her instinct.
Lin Fan pinched out the cigarette and said lazily: "Su Yun, a master's student at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, died on the spot in a car accident here on December 6.
This set is useless to me, I only ask you two things, are you going to be reincarnated, or are you going to be scattered?"
He had seen photos of Su Yun and reports of the accident on television city news.
A look of loss flashed in Su Yun's eyes, she was a proud woman, and she was also very confident in her appearance, but she didn't want to let go of her pride to seduce a man for the first time, but this man turned a blind eye to her.
After the loss, there was a thick bitterness and strong anger, "You think I don't want to be reincarnated, but the judge told me that I can't be reincarnated until I have a long life, and unless I find a substitute, I can only become a lonely ghost wandering the world." I finally made up my mind today and chose a strange woman as a stand-in, but I was ruined by a damn butterfly, how do you let me be reincarnated?"
Lin Fan frowned slightly, and said, "Give the bow on your head to the judge, and he will find a way to arrange for you!"
"I'm not going to be reincarnated!"
"Why?" Lin Fan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and trouble was about to come to the door.
"The judge said that the reason why I died was because I was chosen to be a disaster blocker, and you can help me avenge it, right?" Su Yun said eagerly at this Lin Fan.
As a master of medicine, she thinks that death is a normal thing, but being used to ward off disasters makes her unable to reincarnate, she can't accept the unclear nature of such a death, six days of desperate loneliness, so that her heart sinks, and she actually kills people with a pair of saving hands, she can't forgive this person.
"I'm not a hero in the novel, I'm not interested in ** this kind of thing, you can do it!" Lin Fan said indifferently, and then turned around and left, **, what are you kidding, he doesn't want to have anything to do with any trouble.
"The woman with the bow on her hand seems to pass by here every day!" Su Yun looked at Lin Fan's back and threatened.
"Do you believe that I'm going to let you fly away now?" Lin Fan stopped, his lazy words revealing a strong murderous intent.
"Do you think I'm better off now than I'm gone?" Su Yun shouted.
Lin Fan's killing intent made her instinctively want to retreat, but she was a stubborn person, and what she believed would not change.
"Okay, I'll fulfill you!" Lin Fan turned around and returned to Su Yun, stretching out his hands to pinch Su Yun's neck. If there were any cultivators present at this moment, they would definitely say bitterly, "Oh my God, how did such an idiot come out of the cultivation world to come up with the method of choking his neck to threaten the ghost!"
It's a pity that Su Yun is also a newcomer who lacks common sense, so he actually closed his eyes cooperatively.
"Policeman, raise your hands!" Ouyang Lan is a private detective who does not lack a sense of justice, a few minutes ago, he just got a photo of the client's wife and the person**, because this is not far from home, so he was going to walk home, and when he walked here, he just heard Lin Fan's last words, and saw the scene of Lin Fan reaching out to pinch Su Yun's neck, so he took out the simulation ** on his body.
Civilized people use wisdom without force is his motto in the world.
Lin Fan's face turned green, let go of Su Yun and slowly raised his hand, an ominous thought came to his mind: Could it be that this unlucky policeman could see Su Yun and treat Su Yun as a person?
Ouyang Lan's next words confirmed his guess.
"Calm down, slowly step back, I'm sure you're only acting on the spur of the moment to make an overkill to the lady next to you......"
Lin Fan slowly retreated, he had no intention of listening to what Ouyang Lan was saying behind him, he was completely desperate, how could such an unlucky thing happen to him?
The sudden change made Su Yun couldn't help but lose his mind slightly, but she and Lin Fan soon understood the matter, and she and Lin Fan met a policeman who could see her, and this policeman mistakenly thought she was a living person and thought that Lin Fan was going to murder her.
Looking at Lin Fan's bitter face, Su Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Policeman, I think you misunderstood, he is my boyfriend, we were joking just now!"
After Su Yun finished speaking, he walked up to Lin Fan, as if to prove the truth of her words, hugged Lin Fan's neck, and raised his toes to kiss Lin Fan's lips.
Lin Fan didn't mind kissing the woman he liked, but he didn't include the strange female ghost, he wanted to push Su Yun away, but he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of making Ouyang Lan misunderstand: he couldn't be sure if he could resist the bullet, and at the same time, he didn't want his peaceful life to be shattered because of the misunderstanding.
The cold touch that shocked the soul touched his lips, Lin Fanru was shocked, and his body trembled, the difference between people and ghosts turned out to be so big!
The lips that should be fiery are only cold and lonely at this time, and the reason for this result is the selfishness of another person, which is something that he absolutely cannot tolerate, when did he become so indifferent?
Ouyang Lan shrugged regretfully, put away the fake gun and left. He originally wanted to be a hero to save the beauty and win the favor of beautiful women, but at the moment it seems that there is no hope, since there is no hope, it is better to leave as soon as possible, it is not his style to watch others make love in the cold, and he does not have that hobby.
Seeing Ouyang Lan leave like this, a deep puzzle appeared in Lin Fan's eyes: Why did he leave like this, a person who can see ghosts, it is not strange to misjudge at first sight, but it is not normal to not find the problem for so long, what is the mystery in it?
Suddenly, Lin Fan's eyes lit up, and he whispered to himself: "It turned out to be my mistake!"
On Su Yun's head, the butterfly indicator with the bow knot as the bone and the pale red light as the skin turned like a needle, indicating that the target was Ouyang Lan, and the butterfly's eyes were facing Ouyang Lan's eyes.
Taoist spells, after meeting certain conditions, will have unexpected effects, just like now, Lin Fan accidentally opened Ouyang Lan's yin and yang eyes.
Ouyang Lan walked all the way, his eyes were right in front of the butterfly's eyes, and it lasted for a long time, so that the two had a wonderful connection, and then an inexplicable change occurred, and it was this change that opened Ouyang Lan's yin and yang eyes.
"It's really a coincidence that there is no book!" Lin Fan sighed silently and helplessly.
After Ouyang Lan left, Su Yun let go of Lin Fan, took a step back, bowed his head and was silent, he was shy, and he was also waiting for Lin Fan's reply.
"Give me a day, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow night!" Lin Fan said in despair, then turned around and left without looking back.
confused
Lin Fan yawned and walked into the Yuanchuang advertising agency, as before, crawling on the table like a dead dog, with his upper eyelids on his lower eyelids, and went to make up for sleep before going to work. Suddenly, Lin Fan let out an exaggerated scream, and was pulled up by Lan Bing's ears.
"It turned out to be Sister Lan, I don't know where the junior who doesn't have long eyes offended your old man, and the younger brother will be beaten by him!" Lin Fan, who was originally full of anger, saw that the culprit was Lan Bing, and immediately changed his face and put on an exaggerated appearance of a strong man who would never return.
Looking at Lin Fan's exaggerated expression, Lan Bing burst out laughing, glanced at him, and said, "Come out, Sister Lan has something to ask you!"
Walking into the empty conference room, Lan Bing looked at Lin Fan and said, "Tell Sister Lan what happened yesterday!"
A blank look appeared on Lin Fan's face, scratched his head, and pretended to be confused: "Don't understand?"
Lan Bing stretched out his hand and stretched out the bow on his finger in front of Lin Fan's eyes, "Do you understand now?"
"What a beautiful bow, Sister Lan, you will definitely be able to lead the new fashion trend this time, so that beauties will be popular in the future to wear bows, instead of asking for rings, this will become a blessing for men all over the world, Sister Lan, you are really- oops!"
Lan Bing interrupted Lin Fan's words with a shudder, "Don't give me a sloppy look, and tell me honestly, what's going on with this bow!"
"Sister Lan, you didn't tell anyone about this, did you?" Lin Fan changed his hippie smile and asked seriously.
Lan Bing shook his head, but a suspicious look flashed in his eyes: Lin Fan's Pilai is famous in the advertising industry, how could he suddenly be transgender today, and he would be so simple and soft?
"Sister Lan, I like to tie bows, but I must not tell others, if people know that I will do this kind of girl's work, I will definitely be laughed to death.
Chinese food or Western food, Sister Lan, you speak!" Lin Fan's seriousness suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he said with a flattering smile on his face.
Lan Bing looked at Lin Fan angrily and funny, and decided to release the killer move, "Tomorrow on the fifteenth, if I push someone's salary back for half a month, what do you say will happen?"
Lin Fan is very well-known in the advertising industry, and the commission is also very good, under normal circumstances, there will be no shortage of money, but Lin Fan is a person who is not in a normal situation, he likes to travel and has no financial management concept, and it is very good that he can stick to his salary every month and continue to eat.
Lan Bing has said Lin Fan many times because of this matter, and as the company's financial director, she does have the right to postpone Lin Fan's salary for half a month.
Sure enough, as soon as this trick came out, Lin Fan immediately panicked.
"Don't, Sister Lan, don't!" Lin Fan said with tears in his eyes, "The little brother still has one hundred and sixty-three yuan and five cents now, and if nothing else, he can still support it for about ten days, that is to say, after the 25th, there will definitely be such a news in an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper: the chief designer of Yuanchuang Advertising Company starved to death at home."
Sister Lan, how can a gentle and kind person like you do such a cruel thing?"
For those who are not familiar with Lin Fan, they will definitely be moved by Lin Fan, but unfortunately Lan Bing is not only very familiar with Lin Fan, but also a woman with a strong desire to explore.
"As long as you tell Sister Lan what the bow is, Sister Lan promises that nothing like this will happen!" Lan Bing, who had the initiative, said with a smile.
Lin Fan hesitated for a long time, his expression twisted, and said, "Does this make people embarrassed to say it!"
Sister Lan is beautiful, gentle, and kind, and is the dream lover of all our boys, but the sky treats me unfairly, and when I hate to meet and am not married, in the face of Sister Lan, who is a famous flower, I can only send a small bow, and then hide this friendship deep in my heart!"
Facing Lin Fan's confession of true feelings that had touched all the women, Lan Bing smashed Lin Fan's head with a fist, "Stinky boy, you wait to be in the newspaper!"
After Lan Bing finished speaking, he tore off the bow on his tail finger, threw the red rope to Lin Fan, and walked towards the door of the conference room angrily. She is not angry that Lin Fan is hiding it from her, she believes that Lin Fan must have his own reasons for this, but since this is the case, it is enough to explain it, why use this gag method to deal with her.
She treats every young person in the company as a younger brother, especially Lin Fan, who cares about her natural nature and is a little confused, Lin Fan treats her like this, she really can't accept it.
Looking at Lan Bing's angry back, Lin Fan suddenly realized that he had made a very big mistake, he couldn't say it, he could say it clearly, such a gag would make him angry if he was a person who cared about himself.
Fortunately, he did not lack the courage to recognize his mistakes, and just as Lan Bing was about to walk out of the conference room, the words of apology finally came out of his mouth with difficulty: "Sister Lan, I'm sorry, I just want to be an ordinary person!"
Lan Bing stopped at the door, turned around and smiled slightly, and said, "A stupid boy who can't even take care of himself in life is not an ordinary person, can't he still wear underwear!"
"Thank you, Sister Lan!" Lin Fan said gratefully.
When he was in college, he saved people who shouldn't have been saved, and when he fell into self-blame and couldn't extricate himself, his classmates gave him fear, envy, jealousy, flattery, or strange eyes. In order not to disappoint his parents, he worked hard until he graduated from college, and then ran away to this strange city, he never imagined that someone would be so calm and indifferent after knowing that he had special abilities.
Looking at Lin Fan's serious appearance, Lan Bing couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Xiao Linzi actually has such a serious time!"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Sister Lan, can I ask you a question, why do you take care of us young people so much?"
He really wanted to help Su Yun, and he was also very disgusted with using people to prevent disasters, but there was a voice in his heart telling him not to help, not to cause any more trouble, so as not to repeat the mistakes of his college days and let the peaceful life go away from him again.
So, he wanted to find a voice that would convince him.
There should be many people who have mentioned this question to Lan Bing, and Lan Bing has already taken this issue very ordinary, so she didn't think much about it, and said naturally: "Sister Lan has three brothers and sisters, Sister Lan is the youngest, and she is taken care of by her brother and sister a lot, so she has a funny idea, I want to have a younger brother or sister to take care of yourself, you are younger than Sister Lan, so you are naturally Sister Lan's younger brother and sister."
Besides, isn't it normal for people to help each other?"
Lin Fan looked stupid, and he was silent for a long time and didn't know what to say.
Lan Bing smiled slightly, turned around and gently opened the door of the conference room and walked out, while saying in her heart: "There is another reason, because this city is lonely, Sister Lan doesn't want to be as lonely as it, so Sister Lan wants to warm her heart!"
Twelve years ago, at the age of twenty-three, she came to the city alone, and she also had the same emptiness and confusion as a young man like Lin Fan.
The first seven
Because of yesterday's cold snap, the temperature has dropped to the lowest since the beginning of winter, and the streets are emptied early again.
Su Yun stood at the place where she broke up with Lin Fan last night and waited for it, she had a hunch that Lin Fan would definitely come, and the woman's intuition told her that under Lin Fan's indifferent appearance, there was a moment of fiery heart.
At this time, a dying old man came slowly with a brazier and a large paper bag, put down the brazier at the place where Su Yun died that day, and then put the paper bag in the brazier and lit it.
The firelight illuminated the guilty face of the old man, and also made Su Yun clearly see a line of words on the paper package: "Ms. Su Yun respectfully!"
A puzzled look flashed in Su Yun's eyes, what is the old man doing, what does this Su Yun have to do with himself?
The paper bag broke in the firelight, revealing the dark paper and tin foil ingots inside, Su Yun suddenly thought of a Chinese folk custom, because he was worried that the dead would not have the money to bribe the ghost and have a hard time in the underworld, his relatives would often burn some dark paper and paper ingots to him.
The old man paused for a moment in front of the brazier, which was already full of ashes, and then turned and walked towards the way he came, his body shivering slightly from the cold.
The old man walked out not far away, and a pocket landed in Su Yun's arms from the sky, which contained gold and silver ingots and banknotes used in the underworld, and there was a line on the pocket that was exactly the same as the paper bag burned by the old man: "Ms. Su Yun respectfully!"
"Those things that were burned can really be received by the dead!" Su Yun looked at his pocket in surprise, and at the same time there were deep doubts in his mind: he didn't know this old man, why did this old man burn things for himself?
Recalling the guilty face of the old man, Su Yun suddenly thought of a possibility: the old man will use himself to prevent the disaster!
Thinking of this, Su Yun's eyes suddenly burned with anger, forgetting that she was waiting for Lin Fan, and angrily chased after the old man, she wanted to seek justice.
Not long after Su Yun left, Lin Fan came to the intersection and looked at the brazier left by the old man that still had residual warmth, and after looking around for Su Yun, he couldn't wait to slap himself: Why was he so negligent that he actually forgot that today was Su Yun's first seven.
The first seven refers to the seventh day after death, on which the soul of the deceased will return to its hometown or the place of death, so there is a tradition of sacrificing the newly deceased on this day.
In the past seven days, only one Su Yun has died here due to an accident, and today is not a special day, so the person who was sacrificed is very likely to be Su Yun.
There are no more than three kinds of people who will come here to worship Su Yun: Su Yun's relatives and friends, the driver who caused the accident, and the person who took Su Yun to prevent the disaster.
If the first two are concerned, they shouldn't come so late, and with the temperature so low today, this possibility is even more minimal, in this case, the biggest possibility is that Su Yun is the murderer who took Su Yun to prevent the disaster.
According to the psychology of crime, the murderer of a person sacrifices to the deceased, usually because of a great sense of guilt, which is generally only the first time, and if it is the second or third time, human nature will gradually disappear, and he will not do such a thing at all.
In this way, it can explain why the brazier and paper ashes were left here, the murderer found Su Yun, because it was the first time to kill, so the murderer was very frightened, so he left in a panic. And after Su Yun found out that this person might be the murderer who used her to block the disaster, he chased after him desperately.
Lin Fan's face became more and more worried: for a person who can use others to prevent disasters, a new ghost like Su Yun cannot pose a threat at all, and when the murderer calms down, even if Su Yun will not be scattered, he will be imprisoned, and he will never see the light of day again.
What should I do?
Lin Fan's brows furrowed, with his current ability, as long as Su Yun was more than a kilometer away from him, he would not be able to find Su Yun again. The bow left for Su Yun yesterday used an ordinary red rope, and it was only with the unique spell passed down by the master that the ghost could be caught, because it was the master's unique knotting method that could be handed over to the judge as a token, and the controllable distance was only two kilometers, beyond which the direction could no longer be determined.
Unless he had a piece of Su Yun's belongings, or knew Su Yun's birthday, he could find Su Yun, but neither of these two conditions could be met.
The anxiety on Lin Fan's face became heavier and heavier, and every time he delayed, Su Yun's danger increased by one point, and he had no clue now.
Lin Fan tried to calm himself down, looking around, hoping to find some useful clues, when his gaze fell on the brazier again, his eyes lit up, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly: he was only thinking about how to find Su Yun, but he didn't think to see this suspect.
In the space of thinking, the ashes in the brazier have been blown away by the cold wind. Lin Fan walked to the brazier, pointed his sword in front of him with a mysterious trajectory, and at the same time recited the mantra: "Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, gathers water and keeps the heart, duh!"
The word "duh" came out, Lin Fanjian pointed at the brazier, the bottom of the brazier lit up with crystal water, and then rose rapidly, and in an instant, half a basin of water appeared in the brazier out of thin air.
"Stop!" Lin Fan shouted softly, the smooth mirror-like water surface stopped rising, and the cold wind blew, but it couldn't blow a single ripple.
Lin Fan flexed his middle finger, cut his middle finger with his thumb nail, squeezed out a drop of blood and landed in the brazier, dyeing the water with a faint layer of blood red.
Lin Fan stretched out his sword finger again, and the sword finger waved three inches on the water surface, "Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, the water mirror reflects all things, and all traces can be found, obvious!"
Lin Fan's words fell, and the sword pointed at the designated water surface, and the water surface rippled in a circle, advancing to the brazier wall and disappearing without a trace.
The water in the brazier was as smooth as ever, but the blood red color had completely disappeared, slowly reflecting the shadow of a community, and there was a bright spot on a building in the community.
"Central Garden Building 6 Unit 2 301!" Lin Fan muttered softly, and the person shot out like an arrow from the string.
murderer
Lin Fan came to the door of Unit 2 of Building 6 in the Central Garden and rang the doorbell of 301.
The owner of the room seemed to be waiting for Lin Fan, and Lin Fan just rang the doorbell and opened the door of the corridor without even asking.
A look of surprise flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, and he opened the door of the corridor and walked in. From this point of view, there is no doubt that the owner of 301 is the murderer, and he has guessed that he will come based on the bow on Su Yun's body.
The antique decoration, coupled with a few pots of green potted plants, as soon as you walk into the room, the oncoming breath brings people a feeling of stepping back in time.
The sound of a girl's sleeping breathing came from the bedroom, and the gray-haired old man sat calmly on the vermilion imitation high-backed chair in the living room, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and a wine bottle on the table in front of him.
"My deceased wife loved wine, so she had a few bottles of fine wine in the house, but she was reluctant to drink it until she died, and said that she would leave it to me and take one out to drink when I wanted her.
After a few years, this is the last bottle, can the young man accompany the old man for a drink!" the old man raised his glass and invited.
"I don't drink, and I'm not interested in your past, tell me how Su Yun is now?" Lin Fan said expressionlessly, the chill on his body made the warm room as cold as a wilderness.
The old man had a look of regret on his face, took a sip of wine gently, then shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the rhythmic swaying wine in the glass with his eyes drooped and asked, "What will you do if Ms. Su is imprisoned by me, and what will you do if she is gone?"
"In either case, I will hand over a letter to the king of Hades, and then help the ghost to take you down and hand you over to the king of Hades to deal with!" Lin Fan still looked expressionless, the old man asked him like this, it was nothing more than wanting to fight psychological warfare and take the initiative, but he Lin Fan was not a person who liked to be passive!
The old man dared to use Su Yun to prevent disasters for him, and obviously there were ways to deceive and deal with the ghosts, but as long as he handed a letter to the king of Hades, the old man could not continue to deceive the ghosts, and with him on his side, the ghosts could easily detain the old man's soul to the underworld.
"A true cultivator is really not comparable to me, a person who participates in wild fox meditation, not only is his ability beyond the old man's imagination, but even his spiritual cultivation is not below me, an old man who has lived for decades!" the old man said with praise.
This is not a mockery, but a compliment from the heart.
Submitting a letter to the king of Hades shows that Lin Fan already has the ability to communicate with the gods, which is a far away thing for the old man; Lin Fan should be most concerned about Su Yun's life and death, and how difficult it is to still be able to maintain a calm and rational mind when Su Yun does not know his life and death.
Lin Fan walked to the old man and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it, spit out a puff of smoke, looked at the floor clock in the living room and said, "It's half past twelve, and when it comes to two o'clock in the morning, no matter whether Su Yun is alive or dead, I will submit a letter to the king of Hades!"
Looking at the old man's posture, he obviously wouldn't easily tell him Su Yun's life and death, and if he didn't know Su Yun's life and death, he couldn't take the next step, but he didn't want to be led by the old man, let alone delay this matter indefinitely, so he wanted to give himself and the old man a time limit.
"Two o'clock!" said the old man, slightly distracted, "enough time!"
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Fan's face, and he said in his heart: "It turned out that I made an appointment with someone to help, I said that how could a person who uses others to prevent disasters and prolong his life suddenly be fearless of death."
In that case, let me Lin Fan see the ability of the master you invited!"
The old man, who saw Lin Fan's thoughts, smiled slightly, took out a yellow cloth bag about a foot size and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Lin Fan, saying, "Ms. Su is inside!"
Lin Fan was slightly stunned, and the mockery contained in his smile was even stronger: Is this a test, or a provocation?
While untying the knots in the yellow cloth pocket, Lin Fan thought about whether he should submit a letter to the king of Hades immediately after seeing that Su Yun was okay, so as to solve this matter as quickly as possible and avoid unnecessary trouble.
After thinking about it for a while, he gave up this idea, although he didn't care about his reputation, but he didn't want Master to stain him with any dishonor.
The pocket opened, and Su Yun, who was only half a foot in size, fell to the ground, and then quickly grew larger and returned to its original appearance.
Su Yun stared at the old man angrily, eager to rush over and tear the old man into his stomach and swallow it, but unfortunately, at this moment, she didn't have any strength in her body, and she was powerless even if she wanted to scold.
Lin Fan raised a finger and pointed it on Su Yun's forehead, and said, "At two o'clock, I will help you seek justice, don't do anything meaningless, otherwise I will leave immediately and never care about this matter again!"
He was not in the mood to reason with an angry woman, and besides, now was not the time to be reasonable.
Hearing Lin Fan's harshly words, Su Yun was startled, slowly recovered from her anger, and blinked in agreement when Lin Fan's fingers were pressed against her forehead and she couldn't nod.
Lin Fan withdrew her fingers, and Su Yun immediately felt a trace of strength seeping into her body from the air, and after a while, she staggered to her feet.
Su Yun tried to twist his head towards Lin Fan, hoping that this would divert his attention, for fear that he couldn't help but pounce and make Lin Fan leave angrily.
Looking at Su Yun, the old man's calm and calm finally made waves, and the wine in his hand rippled shallowly. The old man hurriedly took a sip of wine in disguise, then focused his eyes on the wine glass, and said slowly: "When I was young, I thought that all metaphysics was superstition and deception, and even Chinese medicine was classified as pseudoscience.
Later, by chance, I had a dozen pages of fragments of Taoist spells, and at first I wanted to burn them, but when I was ready to do it, I had an idea: to prove the absurdity of these spells.
But the result was completely opposite to what I thought, not only did I fail to prove the absurdity of these spells, but I actually came into contact with the mysterious and powerful power of the Dao, and I also saw ghosts!"
"It's a pity that you only discovered the power of the Dao, but you didn't comprehend the true meaning of the Dao, otherwise you would never have used Su Yun to prevent disasters and extend your life!" Lin Fan said sarcastically.
The old man shook his head, then raised his head suddenly, looked directly into Lin Fan's eyes, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Maybe it's really like you said, I didn't comprehend the true meaning of the Dao, but using Ms. Su to prevent disasters and prolong my life is not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, even if I comprehend the true meaning of the Dao, I will still do it!"
A hint of discoloration flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, could there be something else in this matter?
Su Yun's angry gaze also showed some curiosity.
"I want to make a deal with you, you take my granddaughter as an apprentice and take care of her, I will return this old life to Ms. Su, and give you the dozen pages of Taoist fragments!" The old man leaned forward and looked at Lin Fan with expectant eyes, eager for Lin Fan to nod in agreement.
"Why, the child in the bedroom?" asked Lin Fan in surprise.
There was a painful look in the old man's eyes, and he said with some excitement: "The family is unfortunate, it's just a rebel, how do you know that the daughter-in-law is also a merciless person, the two were married for only three years before they divorced, and then less than a year, both of them got married again, pushing a blind daughter around, and finally we can only be raised by our old couple."
The child is only 11 years old this year, and because of her parents' reasons and the inability to see, she is very autistic, and rarely communicates with people except me and her grandmother.
Three years ago, after her grandmother left, she didn't cry or shed a single tear, but she didn't say a word for two months, and I can't imagine what this child would be like if I left.
I know that I was selfish and killed Ms. Su's life for my own selfishness, but I just feel guilty and have no regrets!"
Speaking of this, the old man's mood calmed down, and after a slight pause, he continued: "Young man, you have two choices: either you take my granddaughter as an apprentice and take care of her, and I will return my life to Ms. Su and give you the remnants of the Dao Fa, or you let the old man see how to submit a letter to the king of Hades!"
After a moment of silence, Lin Fan smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I refuse." ”
There were two reasons for his refusal: first, his master had strictly forbidden him to accept apprentices, and second, the old man and granddaughter had parents alive, and it was their responsibility to take care of the girl, which had nothing to do with him, and he did not think that he could do it well.
As for the fragments of the Dao Fa that the old man said, although he was interested, it would not affect any of his decisions.
"In that case, I can only give it my all!" the old man said in disappointment and helplessly, "There is no need to wait until two o'clock, although I have a wide range of contacts, the cultivators only know you, and there is no difference between doing it now and doing it at two o'clock!"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Lin Fan said a little heavily, stood up, took out a sixteen-carat piece of yellow paper from his body and spread it on the table.
"Young man, you exude pressure that makes me fight all the way, so it can be seen that I am definitely not your opponent, but if I call the police, or make some noise to alarm the police, and then insist that you want to kill me, guess what the police will do to you after I die.
Young man, it's not good for anyone to die and break the net, even if I beg you, you can promise me!" The old man tried to say the Fa Lin Fan again.
"I refuse!" Lin Fan said expressionlessly, his eyes drooped, he bit his middle finger and landed on the yellow paper, and wrote a line of blood: Letter to His Royal Highness King Yama......
"Young man, you forced me!" The old man's eyes flashed fiercely, and he took out the mobile phone that had entered "119" and pressed the connect button.
"Red rope formation, show Tai Chi, play gossip, open, close!" With Lin Fan's suppressed voice, a red rope spirit snake swam out from his feet, coiled into a Taiji diagram, and then combined into a gossip, covering the entire living room floor.
The word "Qi" sounded, and the rope array lit up with a pale red light, dyeing the entire living room red; the word "closed" fell, and the pale red light gathered into a point of light and flew up to the roof, just like the luminous liquid flowing in the gully dug into the Taiji Bagua pattern, drawing a Taiji Bagua diagram corresponding to the rope array on the roof, and then overflowing, falling, and connecting the edge of the rope array from the edge of the ravine, forming a wall of light, enveloping Lin Fan, Su Yun, and the old man.
At this moment, the old man's mobile phone just rang with a waiting sound, and the words "no signal" were displayed.
The old man's expression changed, and he jumped out of his chair and rushed to the window with a more vigorous movement than the young man. Rushing out of the rope formation, the mobile phone signal will be restored, and rushing out of the window can alarm the residents in the building, and when the time comes, Lin Fan will not only be unable to continue to cast spells, but may also be forced to save his life under the pressure of secular laws.
Lin Fan didn't pay attention to the old man's actions, and his blood-stained fingers continued to swim on the yellow paper without being affected in the slightest.
Su Yun looked at the old man intently, and there were some indescribable emotions in his angry eyes.
The old man hit the wall of light, and the wall of light dented, then bounced back and pushed the old man back.
The old man hurriedly stabilized his footsteps, put away his mobile phone, bit his fingers and drew a Tai Chi in the palm of his hand, shouted "palm thunder", and printed the palm of the electric light out of thin air on the wall of light.
The wall of light dented again, and then pushed the old man back again.
Looking at the wall of light, the old man hesitated slightly, turned around and rushed towards Lin Fan, and with a flash of electricity in his hand, he pressed towards Lin Fan.
"Yu!" Lin Fan, who was still hanging his head, shouted in a deep voice without raising his head, and the red rope coiled into Tai Chi under his feet lit up, and a cylindrical wall of light rose to wrap him, isolating the old man's palm thunder.
Looking at Guangbi and Lin Fan, a desperate and crazy look appeared in the old man's eyes, palm thunder was the only attack method he mastered, and now that he had returned in vain, could he only use that method?
The old man glanced at his granddaughter's sleeping room, took out a pistol from his arms with a trembling hand, pointed at Lin Fan tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Young man, the gun is a bullet engraved with a magic charm, you either give up, or take my granddaughter as an apprentice, don't force me to kill again, okay?"
He has always been clean and self-conscious, never doing anything beyond the scope of morality, and killing Su Yun has made him unable to bear the torment of conscience, so as long as there is a little possibility, he doesn't want to kill anymore.
Lin Fan wrote the conclusion of "Lin Fan, a cultivator and seeker", on the yellow paper, and then raised his head with a solemn expression and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm also a very stubborn person!"
In this rope array, there is absolutely no possibility of the bullet hurting him, but the bullet engraved with the spellbreaker is unknown, although he can't draw the spellbreaker, and he has never seen the spellbreaker, but he knows that the spellbreaker can invalidate many spells.
However, what he believes will never change for any reason.
Lin Fan folded the yellow paper neatly, held it up in front of him with his right index finger and middle finger, and raised a little candle-sized flame with his left index finger, ready to burn the letter.
"Young man, you forced me!" the old man closed his eyes in pain, ready to pull the trigger.
"Enough!
I won't take revenge, and you don't have to fight!" Su Yun shouted loudly waving his hands.
Even if he takes revenge, he can't come back to life, but it will make a blind girl lose her loved ones and her last support, and Lin Fan, who is dedicated to helping herself, may die because of this.
"Okay!" Lin Fan said expressionlessly, but a look of relief flashed in his eyes, he threw the letter on the table, put away the rope array and went out, leaving the old man and Su Yun to look at each other silently in the room.
End
In the coffee shop, Lan Bing stirred the coffee gently, listening to Lin Fan tell a fantasy story with a calm expression.
However, this calm is only the surface, although the encounter the night before yesterday evening has been thought about in this regard, but it is really confirmed and overturned the long-standing understanding, which still makes her feel uneasy.
"Sister Lan, that's the way it is!" Lin Fan finished speaking, took a sip of coffee and continued, "This kind of thing is actually very accidental, and the odds of winning the Mark Six lottery are even lower, so ......"
Lan Bing interrupted Lin Fan's words and said with a smile: "It's useless to think of me, but I'm going to be angry!"
She knew what Lin Fan wanted to say, and she was indeed frightened, but now she didn't have this kind of worry at all, the ghost was not as vicious as she imagined, at least not Su Yun.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, took out a talisman and handed it to Lan Bing, and said, "Take this with you, you won't have to worry about winning the lottery in the future, how do you want to thank me, Sister Lan?"
"Go to your brother-in-law and ask for it, you saved his most beautiful wife!" Lan Bing said jokingly, and then put away the talisman, "It's not too early, your brother-in-law will be worried if it's too late, come to Sister Lan's house for dinner on the weekend, don't forget!"
Lin Fan nodded, looking at Lan Bing's back as he left, a smile like a breeze and a bright moon appeared on his face, relaxed and thorough.
Last night, he stood under the old man's building for more than half an hour, and Su Yun, who was completely hateful, walked out of the residential building, came behind him, and said, "He said that he would pay me back in the next life!"
Lin Fan nodded, took out a red rope, coiled it into a lotus flower, cut his finger and soaked it with blood, and then put it in Su Yun's hand, and said, "Give this to the King of Hades, and he will arrange a good family for you!"
"Thank you!" Su Yun took the lotus flower and left with a relaxed expression.
On the way at least half an hour's drive from the coffee shop, Ouyang Lan walked depressedly, a cat squatting on his shoulder, a cat that only he could see for a day and a night.
"How could I meet a ghost!" Ouyang Lan was silent.
