Chapter XIII, page number
Watching Guo Sen drive away, and then looking at the piece of paper in his hand, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
This piece of paper recording Wei Wuying's information was given to me by Zhao Qi, and the paper was obviously torn from a certain notebook.
As Guo Sen guessed, the cross on the corner is a 'ten', which is the marked page number......
This is the tenth page, so what is recorded on the other pages of the book to which this paper belongs?
What puzzles me the most is still the old question, why is the handwriting recorded on this paper the same as the handwriting on the broken book left by my grandfather? Why is it the same as the handwriting on the cover of the account book in the Yin-Yang Station?
When I came to the 14th, I walked to the cabinet as soon as I could.
When Dashuang came out of the cabinet, he obviously locked the blind man who suddenly broke away in the cabinet.
The blind man was so badly wounded, how is he doing now?
"He shouldn't be in danger of his life for the time being." Dashuang was handed me a cup of hot water.
I put the glass on the table and asked him, "Do you know what it is like to be blind?" ”
Dashuang shook his head: "I don't know what happened to him, I asked you to guard against him before, just because I felt that there was something in him that didn't belong to humanity." ”
"Not human?"
"Hmm." Dashuang nodded, "I'm not a yin, I know a lot, I really don't know what is going on with him." All I can say is that as long as the person is still in the cupboard, he will not die. ”
"What's going on with this cabinet?" I kind of regret that I didn't get to listen to the blind man last time.
"This cabinet is made of three corpse wood, which can be used to raise corpses; If a living person is persecuted by a ghost, and the soul enters the cabinet before leaving the body, the soul can be sealed in the spirit platform, and the life can be saved. ”
Dashuang is not as pretentious as a blind man, but he says the point very directly.
"You came to the 14th because of this cabinet?" My scalp suddenly jumped, "You're ...... now"
"I'm not an ordinary person now, and it's impossible for ordinary people to go to the Yin Yang Station easily." Dashuang licked his lips, "I'm a zombie now." ”
"Zombies?" My scalp tightened, and my mind flashed back to the time when the beetle flew out of Lao Chen's mouth and disappeared in front of him in the stone factory, and the experience I had with him in Chenpigou.
Although Dashuang is slow, he is definitely not stupid, smiled slightly, and nodded, "I took Uncle Chen's class." ”
"Take Uncle Chen's class? You mean...... Uncle Chen is a zombie? ”
Although I vaguely thought of this when I heard Jinghai talk about the corpse zombie ancestor, I still felt incredible.
After all, the zombies we are talking about now are by no means simple stiff corpses, but an existence that is beyond the cognition of ordinary people.
"Uncle Chen lives here because he was the previous housekeeper of the Yinyang Station. His duty is to guard the inn and do things for the boss. ”
Dashuang smiled again, revealing his white and neat teeth, "Now that Uncle Chen has retired, I have taken over his shift, and I am now the new housekeeper of the post station." ”
Looking into his bright eyes, I gradually accepted this fact.
"How did you get involved with this?" I feel a little sorry for Dashuang.
A big living person has become a zombie, even if he has extraordinary abilities, but that is not a happy thing.
Dashuang grinned bitterly: "I asked for it, and it was destined." I don't regret it. ”
He said: 'The living live in the store, and the yang shou pays', has always been the rule of the Yin-Yang Station, and no one can change it.
That time, because he fed Xiao Yu with his heart and mouth, his yang qi was exhausted and he was on the verge of dying, but he didn't know why, he came to the Yin Yang Station in a daze.
"According to the rules, I, an ordinary person, stayed at the post station for one night, at the cost of all my yang life. It was Brother Xu who saved my life, so that I could continue to stay in the world and repay my parents who raised me. ”
Dashuang sighed, and then said, "That time in the stone factory, I didn't know what was going on at first. But that night, I had a dream. Chen Bolai came to me in a dream, and he told me the rules of the post station and asked me to make a choice. Or, according to the rules, Yang Shou will be repaid to the store; Or, take over his class, inherit his skills as a stele carver, and be the housekeeper of the Yin-Yang Station. ”
I couldn't help frowning: "What is the choice?" Isn't this explicitly forcing you to die? ”
Dashuang shook his head, but he was much calmer than I was:
"When you leave the station, I will still call you Brother Xu. Brother Xu, that's not what I said. I'm just an ordinary person, and I am willing to feed Xiao Yu with my heart, because I love her. However, this is inherently against the laws of nature and the laws of yin and yang, and no one is obliged to pay for my personal actions.
I told you and Tuzi that my family is not very good. But since I was a child, my parents taught me that no matter what a person does, there will be a reward, and there will be a price. We can't just take and not give, can we? ”
He shrugged his shoulders, not showing any sadness at all, "Brother Xu, I am truly grateful to you from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago." Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that if a person dies, the obligations that should be fulfilled in the yang world can no longer be completed; I will never be able to see my loved ones again.
Therefore, I chose to take Uncle Chen's class, firstly, to repay you for giving me a chance to be born again; The second is out of selfishness, no matter what way I use, I am still alive. If I live, I will be able to be filial to my parents, and I will be able to ...... There may also be a chance to see her again. ”
I could only nod my head, because everything he said was not wrong.
I suddenly thought of a question, Xu Ronghua said, as the boss, I have absolute power in the Yinyang Station.
However, I thought I had erased the 'store money' owed by Dashuang, but he still couldn't escape the so-called 'store rules'.
This is absolutely contrary to what Xu Ronghua said, my power is not absolute, at least, I can't change the rules.
I asked Dashuang: What kind of existence is the Yin-Yang Station?
Dashuang didn't break his promise, and told me everything he knew about the station.
However, that didn't solve all my doubts about the station.
Dashuang couldn't tell who the post station was, or simply where it was built.
He only knew that the Yin and Yang Station existed on the edge of the underworld and the yang world. Some special people or ghosts may go to the inn.
There, people can get something that they can't ask for.
The ghosts who can enter the post station are usually evil spirits who have committed evil deeds, or have had painful experiences and grievances. They can only enter the reincarnation of Yin Si if they 'temporarily stay' in the post station for a period of time and pay a certain price.
Regarding the station, Dashuang's summary is the same as I thought earlier.
The Yin-Yang Station is the transit station between the Yang world and the underworld.
However, at this time, I came up with a solution that was more in line with the existence of the station.
I'm not dead yet, so I haven't really been to the vagina.
However, as a yin, he is no stranger to some special existences in the underworld.
After listening to Dashuang's detailed explanation of the functions of the post station, three words popped up in my mind - ghost gate!
