Chapter 30: The Devil Lives Forever
The cold moonlight hung high in the sky, and the wind around it had long since subsided, but it swept away a trace of coldness. This special night seems to have opened another door to this world for me, behind the mundane world, there is a mysterious Taoist world hidden, perhaps no one has ever thought that under the ordinary, those unknown to the world, in fact, there have always been extraordinary things, morning and evening to the wrong, the cycle is endless. The so-called Heavenly Dao also exists in this vast humanity.
I carried the spirit banner and followed behind the old madman, this time it was a new acquaintance with the old madman, I didn't expect him to have yin and yang eyes, you must know that not everyone has natural yin and yang eyes.
But if you talk about it carefully, this yin and yang eyes, from everyone's innate aura, when people are just born, it comes with innate aura, before the age of three, the innate aura is very pure, but when the child eats the first bite of the world's food, it is infected with the turbid qi of the world, and the innate aura is gradually covered, so children before the age of three can see everything that ordinary people can't see, but after the age of three, the innate aura will automatically shut down, the heavier the secular qi, the more the innate aura is closed tightly.
Therefore, after the age of three, people generally can't see ghosts and gods, they can only see everything in the real world, but the world is so big, there are no wonders, and there is still one in ten thousand.
By chance, there are always one or two people, by chance, the innate aura was not closed at the age of three, but has been brought to adulthood, but it is also deeply polluted by the world, so the innate aura is still a little bit, this little bit is enough for this person to have a different fate and ability from ordinary people, that is, through yin and yang, the eye of the sky is not counted, because the eye of heaven can peep beyond the nine skies, unrestrained, and the ordinary eye of yin and yang can only see the things of the two worlds of yin and yang.
But this kind of ability is also the creation of heaven and earth, among 10,000 people, it is difficult for one or two people to maintain their innate aura until adulthood, and the old madman, who is one of these ten thousand, his innate aura is still there, so he has yin and yang eyes, and can see things in the underworld, and I need to borrow ghost eyes to achieve the ability of the old madman.
However, this ability is not something that everyone can adapt to, many people have yin and yang eyes, most of them have been eroded by fear for a long time, and finally tortured to madness, or even die, only a very few people can maintain a normal mind, and most of them take refuge in the path of cultivation.
It seemed much smoother to follow the old madman on his way, and he was going around the old man all the way, a village with long beards, and he had almost gone around most of the time, but I now understand why he was so weird, because he was avoiding the ghosts that he might encounter on the road, but wherever there were ghosts, he went around them in advance, and he wouldn't meet them at all, so he didn't have a lot of trouble.
Speaking of which, he is still an old madman with a lot of experience, but also, he has lived in this Longbeard Village for decades, so he is naturally very familiar.
Seeing that the old madman's house was in front of me, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when I thought that the old madman still had a mysterious Chang brother waiting for me, I suddenly lifted my heart again.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard of the old madman, I was immediately shocked, this day and night, it turned out to be two scenes, when I came during the day, what I saw was a decayed and decadent appearance, and at night, especially in this special situation, I looked through the eyes of ghosts, although the courtyard of the old madman has not changed much, but in his hall, there is a golden light, which is very dazzling.
Walking to the door of the hall, I was stunned, then, on the god case under the middle hall, isn't it a big ingot the size of a brick?!
"Mother's! There really is a big ingot! "I looked at the golden big ingots blankly, this is a rare thing that I have never seen in my life, not to mention its value, it is naturally immeasurable, just look at its size, it is really not small, the front of the ingots is also engraved with a traditional Chinese character "Bao", it is simply like a fake......
"Ergou, do you see my family's big ingots now? Hey! The old madman happily walked up to the big ingot, pointed at the big ingot, and said with a grin.
"Saw ......" I almost dropped my jaw in shock, and I didn't close my mouth for a long time, this time I really believed it, the old madman didn't say crazy things at first, and he didn't tell lies, but others didn't believe him, what he said was true, there was really a big ingots in his house.
My first thought was, if anyone had such a big baby, wouldn't it be a fortune?
But the old madman is still so poor, and he can only survive by relying on the help of the villagers from time to time, which is too unreasonable, right? My thoughts were a little confused for a while, and I turned my head to look at the old madman, who was still the same as during the day, staring at the big ingots on the table with a stupid face, fascinated and in a daze, but I didn't see it during the day, by the way! It dawned on me that there was a serious problem.
Why do I need to borrow ghost eyes to see this big ingot? And what about normal viewing during the day, but not seeing?
"Why?" I shouted inexplicably, but the old madman was stunned, and I immediately cleared my throat, and I began to talk nonsense.
"Because this ingots are not originally things in the yang world, but things in the underworld." Suddenly, a black shadow came out of the inner room, this person looked sallow, tall and thin, wearing a black melon skin hat, and wearing a black long shirt, this dress, I really want to be the costume of the Qing Dynasty, his voice is low but thick, every word he says, seems to be deeply striking the feeling of the heart.
"Who is this?" My first feeling is that this person is not a person, because now where are normal people still wearing long shirts, even if there are, there are very few, especially in the old madman's house, it is a little inappropriate, and then look at his complexion, there is no ruddy of a living person, but a sick feeling, and there seems to be a faint black gas floating on his body, this person must be a ghost.
"My name is Chang Shou, and now I am a small ghost in the underworld, Brother Ergou, I know that you entered the Taoist Maoshan sect not long ago, if it were according to common sense, I should have honored you as a fairy, but when we meet on this occasion, we might as well be called brothers, how about it?" He turned out to be the ghost of the underworld, my heart jumped suddenly, in my cognition, the ghost is either wearing white clothes, or black clothes, most of them are black and white impermanence impressions, I didn't expect the real ghost to be dressed like this.
Hearing the ghost Changshou smile at me so politely and cordially, I suddenly felt a little dazed, but I am still a person who has seen the world, and immediately according to Taoist etiquette, I clasped my fists in return, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will call you Brother Chang." ”
"Very good, very good." Brother Chang was elegant, and as he spoke, he made an inviting gesture to me and motioned for me to sit down and talk.
I found a stool to sit down, and when Brother Chang sat down, I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Chang, how do you know about me...... Am I so much about it? I also know that my nickname is Ergou. ”
"Huh! Brother Ergou, you have just entered the Daomen, and you know very little about the things of the Yin and Yang worlds, in fact, the ghosts of the underworld know these, which is not uncommon, because ghosts have four kinds of supernatural powers, one of which is fate, the past life and this life, and even the next life, but what we ghosts want to know, just a snap of a finger, you can know, and Tianyantong, whether the other party is at the end of the world or in the cape, we can see it at any time, otherwise we ghosts don't know this, how can we go to the yang world to catch those outlaw souls? Brother Chang said with a smile.
"I see." I was shocked by the abilities that Brother Chang said, but I also wanted to know what the other two supernatural powers were, but it was not easy to show such idiocy and ignorance, so I smiled with it, and was embarrassed to ask, but I couldn't forget the purpose of this trip, and then continued: "Since Brother Chang is a ghost, then the soul of Wang Shanren is in your hands, and it is understandable, after all, no matter how powerful the resentful soul is, it can't escape your palm, I was still a little confused before, but now I am finally relieved, hehe!" ”
"That's natural, it's not difficult to capture Wang Shanren's soul, and now it's being imprisoned in my place, and I'll hand it over to the Ergou brothers later." Brother Chang smiled.
"Since Brother Chang is a ghost, why don't you just escort him back to the underworld? But leave it to me? I asked, confused.
"Oh, it's because ......" Brother Chang had just said half of his words, but he stopped talking, smiled, and said: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it is also the calamity of Wang Shanren, the time limit for him to return to the underworld has not yet arrived, and he needs to wait until the twenty-seventh day to return to the underworld, and the purpose of my trip is not to detain the soul of Wang Shanren, but to ...... He! ”
As he spoke, Brother Chang slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at the old madman, who smiled stupidly on the side, looking like he didn't know why.
"Old gourd, what does he have to let Brother Chang take care of personally? Also, what about the ingots on the table? These...... It's all a little confusing to me. I smiled wryly and reached out and grabbed the back of my head.
"Huh! Brother Ergou, you don't know why, after I explain it to you in detail, you will understand why I want to help him. Brother Chang said, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then said: "Speaking of which, this is also a fate between me and the Hulu family. ”
"Fate?" I was stunned.
"Yes, the gourd's family name is Chen, counting up three generations, that is, the great-grandfather of the gourd, who once had a relationship with me, and it was precisely in order to end this relationship that I appeared with the gourd to help him, and that ingots were also given to their family by me as a repayment." Brother Chang said seriously.
"Great-grandfather...... How many years has Brother Chang been a ghost?! I looked at Brother Chang in front of me in surprise, a little unable to believe my ears.
