Jinghai asked me, "How many lives do you think a person has?" ”

I snorted from my nose, Sun Lu put a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly seemed to think of something, glanced at my feet, and quickly put the cigarette and lighter back.

Seeing that I didn't bother to respond, Jing Hai didn't feel bored, but lowered his voice even more nervously: "Ordinary people naturally only have one life, Boss Xu, you are different now." Others have one life, but you have two lives now! ”

"Two lives?" I instinctively glanced at my own shadow.

Jinghai nodded solemnly, "It is said that people only have one life, because everyone has only one living soul, and now your soul is sound, and there is another remnant soul, although the soul is broken, it is full of vitality." If a person has two souls, doesn't that mean he has two lives? ”

As soon as I wanted to speak, he waved his hand vigorously, "Listen to me." ”

"You've probably heard of the Nine Lives Cat, right?"

"Hmm." I nodded patiently.

Jing Hai grinned, "When I said the nine-life cat, I didn't mean that the animal has a big life. As a person who is in the yin and yang industry, you should know that some cats who are born out of phase such as black cats are extraordinary in their ability to sense and contact the underworld. Most of the average spiritualists will only devour things in the 'other world' that they can touch out of instinctive greed. ”

I nodded subconsciously, which I had personally touched. remembers that when the Korean student Li Qingyuan died on the stage of the performance hall, he was sucked by a little black cat for his last breath, which caused the corpse to be defrauded.

Jinghai continued: "As the saying goes, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, there are stupid people, there are smart people, and the same is true for cats. There are a very small number of cats full of spirituality, although they can see things that humans can't see, but they don't touch them blindly, but can distinguish between the best and the dross, and only choose what is beneficial to themselves.

The remnants of the breath in the body of the newly deceased, the mixture of death and life, is dross. After being absorbed by cats, in addition to causing corpse transformation, it is not good for the cats themselves.

However, if a person is still alive, if he is treated, he can still survive. It is precisely at this time that if this line of anger is captured, then this person is naturally bound to die, but this anger is the essence of the cat. ”

Sun Lu suddenly interjected and said: "The old people often say that the black cat is sent to the end, is that what it means? ”

I was still a little confused, but when I heard him say this, I was stunned at first, and then a chill suddenly rose in my heart.

I remember when I was a child, I once followed my grandfather to the market, and I saw an elderly woman named Hua Po begging on the street. That Hua Po was very weak, as if she would lose her breath if she said two more words.

However, the strange thing is that the side of the flower woman has been followed by a black cat with shiny fur.

At that time, I only felt that Hua Po was pitiful, and with my grandfather's consent, I gave the old woman my poor pocket money and the two pork pancakes that my grandfather had just bought for me.

I wanted to tease the black cat when I was done, but my grandfather grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the way.

I clearly remember that my grandfather said to me with a tiger face: The old woman will not live for two days, and the black cat and tiger (local dialect: cat) are guarding her and is going to send her to the end, but she can't be fooled, if she breaks the cat and tiger thing, she will be retaliated.

Since then, I haven't seen the flower woman again, and I haven't seen the black cat and tiger again.

It was the first time I heard the story of 'the black cat sending the end of the day'.

I couldn't help but talk about it, and then asked Jinghai, did the black cat absorb the life of the living? Isn't that a loss of life?

Jing Hai scoffed, "Think about it, what will happen if the old beggar stays alive?" Between life and death, which one is liberation for her? ”

Sun Lu and I were relatively silent, and Jinghai followed up and said to the two of us, since the black cat is spiritual, it will not really do that evil deed that harms people. The black cat I saw when I was a child has been called Hua Po, most of them have received the favor of calling Hua Po, and in order to repay the kindness, they will send her to the end, so as not to make Hua Po suffer more, but also to add a point of practice for herself.

Speaking of which, Jinghai no longer detours, and said that the cat can be used for its own use after absorbing the living life, if it absorbs enough life, it will be the same as one more life, and when it encounters danger, it can be 'one life to one life', one more chance to survive.

As for the Nine Lives Cat, Jing Hai had only heard about it, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he thought that it was already a positive existence.

Sun Lu was the first to react, pointing to my shadow and asking Jinghai: "You mean, calamity also has the ability to 'send the black cat to the end', and can absorb the life of the living?" ”

As soon as these words came out, before I could pump him, he was startled first, and then waved at me, "I'm drunk and confused, you just let me fart." ”

"Of course, he Boss Xu and Nine Lives Cat are different, but they are the same."

Jing Hai seemed to have drunk too much internal heat, and while fanning his face with his palm, he bared his teeth at me, "In short, that kid surnamed Zhu, the remnant soul is now attached to your shadow, that is to say, ordinary people only have three souls and seven souls, but you have one more soul, which is equivalent to four souls and seven souls." ”

"Hehe, I don't think it's a happy event." I laughed dryly.

I don't think it would be a good thing to have a living soul attached to the shadow, but there is a kind of depression that will be violated at any time.

At this time, Jinghai said something strange again.

"Oh, you're really in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed."

Jing Hai picked up a little thumb and said vaguely while digging his nose: "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed." Walking between yin and yang, isn't it so? You are Xu Fu in the yang world, and Xu Fuan in the underworld, isn't it just to avoid trouble. It's good now, the four souls and seven spirits are added, not to mention those demons and evil spirits, even if it is in front of the king of Hades, he wants the judge to tick your name and surname, I'm afraid it will be difficult to start. ”

Speaking of which, the old monk actually hummed and sang: "The blood ghost of three souls and seven spirits~ You have to come back sooner or later...... The four souls and seven spirits don't know each other~ which one knows your real body......"

In this conversation with Jinghai, I have deeply discovered one of the biggest drawbacks of contact with him.

That is—the old girl can lead people into the ditch better than the blind man.

In order to avoid sinking deeper into the mud, I took the time to ask the next question:

"Didn't you say that there are three unexpected joys? What is the third? ”

Jing Hai looked directly at me for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "This third accident can be said to be a real joy for you. But...... Buddha, I don't think that's a good thing. So ......"

The old monk's voice suddenly paused, and he spread a palm at me, "Give me what you brought out of the evil tomb for safekeeping." ”
