Chapter 91 Soul Lighting...
Guo Great Wall's phone kept vibrating. The caller ID was a strange and unfamiliar number. It didn't look like a mobile phone number or a serious landline number. There were a lot of 4's in front of him. It's a bit like, guess it's selling something, everyone is talking about business, although he doesn't understand very well, but he also pretends to be trying hard to understand very sensible, let the phone vibrate endlessly and ignore it.
But everyone discussed it for a long time, and they didn't discuss the reason. It was the water dragon balls given by the four snakes, which made Chu Shuzhi care about it. Chu Shuzhi lived in the graves all the year round, and he took the road of corpse repair. The xinxing is really not bright, and occasionally a little dark, and he is an authentic conspiracy theorist.
"Your fourth uncle must know something." Chu Shuzhi asserted, "otherwise, why did he suddenly take you away at this time, and it was such a coincidence that he asked you to give the water dragon ball to Zhao Chu at this time?"
Zhu Hong folded his hands on his chest, frowned and took a deep breath.
Everyone in the office was silent for a while. At this time, Lao Li, who was on duty in the reception room during the day and liked to play with bone carvings, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Actually, I... I have some sources."
Everyone looked at him for a while, Lao Li seemed to be a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a bachelor, and I have nothing to do after get off work. I usually like to go to Antique Street to find some old buddies for tea and chess. Two days ago, I heard an old man who played chess mentioning this. He said that several house-guarding snakes that were offered at home have gone away in the past two days, and they have not even eaten their offerings. The same is true for other homes, the snake clan. It seems to be completely withdrawing from Dragon City."
Zhu Hong was stunned: "This... My fourth uncle didn't tell me."
"It's not just the Snake Clan. Look, it's about to open now. Is there half a crow in the city? The crow clan's grandsons are a little sloppy, and they can run faster than mice." Daqing mentioned "rat" When the two words were used, he obviously wrinkled his nose and expressed complete contempt-for a cat, probably all the things worthy of contempt in the world can be described by the word "rat".
"My fourth uncle..." Zhu Hong paused, and the wrinkles between her brows deepened. She was brought up by Fourth Uncle Snake since she was a child. Basically, Fourth Uncle Snake is an omnipotent existence in her heart. She has never seen why Uncle Snake is in trouble. It seems that as long as the Snake Clan is with him, the sky will not fall.
Zhu Hong knew that he didn't say a word to himself, probably just because he was too fond of Zhao Yunlan. When he was fine, maybe he knew that he was hopeless and would walk away silently, but if he knew that he was in danger, how could he still be there? Is it easy to leave at this time?
But how big is it that Uncle Snake has no time to think about how to deal with it, so he just moved the entire Snake Clan away?
Of all the people, only Daqing knew vaguely—whether it was the ghostly movement, or the bizarre book from eleven years ago, all of them seemed to vaguely point to old events more than 5,000 years ago. It was an era when the sky fell and the gods fell, and there was absolutely no trivial matter.
However, it also saw Zhao Yunlan's attitude clearly.
Zhao Yunlan has been a person who is afraid of the light and the heavy since he was a child. He is very good at forming gangs. When it comes to specific work tasks, he will wilt, and he will be lazy and lazy, and he will instruct whoever he can. Sometimes when someone went out to investigate and came back to write a report for him to read, he didn't bother to sit on the chair like a big tail, and the five of them had to make a ppt and read the summary to him.
However, what is he facing right now, or... what is the soul-suppressing order facing? Except for occasionally asking them to help check the minutiae, Zhao Yunlan covers everything tightly, and there is no wind at all. It was revealed that most of them knew that even if they were mixed in, they would be pào ashes, and they wanted to carry it all by themselves.
The black cat rolled his eyes, his eyes fell on Guo Changcheng, and he made a random excuse to interrupt everyone's clueless guessing: "Xiao Guo, your phone is about to shake into a sieve, don't you feel numb? Phone call - I think it's like this, we can't talk about it like this, everyone on the day shift will go back to rest first, Sang Zan and Wang Zheng on the night shift will go together for a while, go to his house to see, when people come back No. If Zhao Chu doesn't come back before dawn tomorrow, then let's look for him once in Xia Huáng Spring, it really won't work... It's not ashamed to ask for help from the underworld once in a while."
After the black cat finished speaking, he jumped on the table, as if the big leader was not in charge of it, and commanded seriously: "Yes, Zhu Hong, you will call Lin Jing in a while and ask him if he is on the train. When are you coming back."
Zhu Hong let out an "oh", reached out and smoothed the cat's hair, and then scratched its chin.
Daqing changed from a domineering king to a lazy cat in a second. She was so comfortable with scratching her that she stretched her front paws on the table, and she was comfortable and slender." Meow" a sound.
There were several suppressed sneers in the office immediately.
Daqing shook his head abruptly, quickly pulled Zhu Hong's hand down with his claws, and said righteously, "What?
Beside him, Old Li unconsciously rubbed the bone ring on his hand, and asked attentively with a little flattery: "Daqing, it's been a busy day, do you want to eat fish? Yesterday I also fried a little from home..."
Even though Daqing tried to show an air of humility, the erect ears still betrayed it completely. Let Lao Li take it away.
Guo Changcheng finally received the phone call that harassed him for a long time. The sound of the domestic copycat phone was very loud, and the voice of the person in the microphone could be heard from two steps away. He spoke with a strong foreign accent. The speed was so fast that he could just leave the atmosphere and fly to the moon. Chu Shuzhi heard Guo Changcheng politely listened to the other party from the beginning for a long time, and then said weakly: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly... Can you say it again, slowly?"
There was silence in the receiver for two seconds, and suddenly there was a low whimper.
I don't know if Guo Changcheng's cell phone is really bad or what. The whimper sound is very special. It spreads through the whole office like a water wave along the receiver. Chu Shuzhi, who was about to pack his things and go away, suddenly turned around. He raised his hand and grabbed Guo Great Wall's phone, pressed the speakerphone, and put it on the table.
Guo Changcheng was stunned for a moment, Chu Shuzhi raised an index finger to his lips, listened carefully, then took out a pen from the pen holder on the table, and wrote on the sticky note: "It's a ghost crying."
Guo Changcheng was covered in jitters.
Chu Shuzhi quickly wrote again: "Tell her to stop crying and ask her what's wrong."
Guo Changcheng said what he said, and after a while, the crying over there subsided a little, choking and working very hard in non-standard Mandarin: "Mr. Guo, do you remember me? You have three years. When I was teaching before, I visited my home, my daughter is Cui Xiuyun, and I served you a bowl of vegetable tofu."
Guo Great Wall was stunned: "Ah! I remember, I remember you!"
There was another choked sob: "Xiuyun can't be found."
The little girl I met three years ago is now fifteen or sixteen years old. Guo Changcheng asked, "Why did such a big girl disappear? Didn't she go to the mountains to play by herself?"
Chu Shuzhi looked at him with interest, and found that Guo Changcheng's voice was louder and smoother.
When the other party was in a hurry, he cried, and when he cried, the words in his mouth turned into dialects. Communication between the two parties was very difficult. , in the local area is very advanced. After she learned to surf the Internet, she soon met a few netizens who didn't know what to do. Another netizen came all the way to see her and said that she could take her to work in Longcheng. , In a few words, the foolish girl was deceived.
When the family found out, they saw a small note.
Guo Changcheng glanced up and saw Chu Shuzhi wrote: Ask her if she can leave the place and come to Longcheng.
Guo Changcheng asked, and the other party suddenly replied with flickering words: "I...I can't leave the village, I...I'm a little sick..."
Chu Shuzhi nodded, this is the Earthbound Spirit.
Guo Great Wall asked again, "Is there anyone else in the family?"
"There's only one old grandmother...I know you alone in Longcheng, Mr. Guo, please help, help me find her, the girl is so young and doesn't understand anything..."
With such a big dragon city and a lot of traffic, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially if Guo Changcheng still knows a girl and hasn't seen her for three years, who knows what she will become-Chu Shuzhi shrugged and wrote on the paper: Don't be casual Promise the ghost and cause trouble.
Who knew that just after he wrote the word "casually", Guo Changcheng had already agreed: "Okay, don't worry, eldest sister, I promise to help you find the child back!"
The tip of Chu Shuzhi's pen was tilted, leaving a long trace on the paper. Just as he was about to hate iron for not being steel, he raised his head and reprimanded Guo Changcheng, when he saw a flash of white light representing merit on Guo Changcheng's body, and it seemed to have changed. The color, for an instant, flashed an orange like fire.
He was taken aback and grabbed Guo Changcheng's shoulder. Guo Changcheng just hung up the phone and looked at Chu Shuzhi blankly.
"No...Nothing, I may have read it wrong." Chu Shuzhi muttered, thought about it, and put his bag back, "How are you going to find someone? Let me help you."
At this time, Wang Zheng and Sangzan, who were sent to Zhao Yunlan's house, had already arrived. They knocked on the door politely, but there was no sound inside. Wang Zheng took Sang Zan and went in directly through the door panel, only to see that the lights were not turned on in the room. , but the coffee table was moved, and it seemed that someone had sat on the chairs and the room, the fire for boiling the water was still on, the water was almost boiled, but no one was there.
Sanzan bent down, fiddled with the tea tray left behind, and turned off the fire without a teacher, judging: "Hui came, beat him again, measure the individual, before Tian Hei beat him."
Setting tea is a long talk, what did they say?
This day was faint. After Zhao Yunlan said that sentence, Shen Wei stared at him for a while, as if he had been immersed in Zhao Yunlan's eyes. After a while, he answered in a low voice. A voice: "Okay."
Then he was silent for a longer time, looking over the kettle with white mist, looking a little confused.
When he began to trace his memories back thousands of years, he suddenly became like an old man.
I don't know how long it took before he let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Zhao Yunlan with a wry smile: "I... I don't know where to start."
Shen Wei said, put down the teacup, he sat on the bed, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Yunlan: "Why don't you come and see for yourself."
Zhao Yunlan felt that he should have a grudge against Shen Wei for granted, but before he could react in his mind, he had already handed it over.
Shen Wei grabbed his hand and suddenly pulled him into his arms with force, Zhao Yunlan felt that he was about to hit him, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support it on the edge, but his fingers seemed to pass through a void. He passed through it, and then he seemed to fall into something, staggered under his feet, and was gently supported by a pair of hands.
Zhao Yunlan's eyes widened, but he still couldn't see anything, so he tightly grabbed the hand that was holding him: "Shen Wei?"
Shen Wei replied softly.
Although it was dark in front of him, the surroundings were not quiet. There seemed to be the sound of wind whistling. However, Zhao Yunlan couldn't feel any movement of air. He calmed down and listened carefully. Like a roar, but ups and downs, far and near.
Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
Shen Wei couldn't help clenching his hand, and after a while he said, "Wait a minute."
His voice fell, and suddenly, the whole world around him lit up, and there was a distant dragon roar, which seemed to be extremely painful, and the earth was trembling. Then, a fire fell from the sky, just like the sun from the sky. It fell, scorching hot.
From extremely dark to extremely bright, Zhao Yunlan's tears were stabbed out in an instant, but he was stunned to endure the severe pain and didn't want to close his eyes.
He felt that he almost saw the creation of the world.
I saw the fire fell from the sky and fell into countless pieces. The floating light like broken gold made people feel like they were stepping on the Milky Way. That kind of radiant beauty can easily take people's breath. Zhao Yunlan quickly put it on. The tears that were stimulated were wiped away, and the eyes were reluctant to blink.
Then, countless hands stretched out under the sporadic flames, as if they had grown out of the soil, adjusting their shape little by little, and finally growing to the height of a person and crawling out of the soil.
Nobody "made" them, they got their life out of the silt themselves.
No one taught them how to survive, how to reproduce, and they stumbled across the ground full of broken light to walk and run, and then instinctively learned to kill and devour each other.
Ghosts, born in the gap between light and darkness.
There was a huge fire where the fireball landed. As it burned, the soil below was expanding, gradually expanding into a large flower bud.
The big buds grew bigger and bigger, but the fire on them got smaller and smaller, and finally the "buds" made of soil were sucked in. All the running, eating, and fighting ghosts couldn't help but stop their own. They moved and turned their heads to the place together. The soil on the bud suddenly cracked, and then the gap became bigger and bigger. Finally, with a "kara" sound, the "bud" of the soil was like a pottery that had been burnt in a kiln. The jar was broken into pieces.
There were two dark figures inside, and the nearest ghosts were involuntarily sucked in. They didn't even have time to struggle, and they were quickly swallowed up. The more ghosts were swallowed, the clearer the dark shadow. They gradually transformed into a head, neck, body, limbs, facial features and even hair.
Just like the mud dots that Nu Wa threw out, it seems that all the things born from the soil are pushed by a mysterious force and grow in one direction - just like the gods and saints.
Perhaps... the gods and sages who were born with natural growth were also born in this way.
"It was my soul fire that fell just now? Is that...you and the ghost face?" Zhao Yunlan asked after a long time.
"It's us—you were entrusted by Chiyou to bless the Lich clan," Shen Wei explained calmly in his ear, "I didn't expect that only a few decades after the first battle between gods and demons, the Water God Gonggong and Emperor Zhuanxu started the second war of gods and demons. The water gods got close to the dragon clan and formed an alliance with the demon clan. Later, Hou Yi in the east border picked up the Fuxi bow, gathered the old Chiyou clan, and colluded with the witch clan. It’s hard to tell apart.”
"At that time, the prehistoric order was undecided. Not long after Nuwa created human beings, she could only watch them multiply and die in batches. She hadn't had time to turn into the back soil, so the ghost didn't exist at that time, of course. There is no so-called 'reincarnation of life and death'. For the various races who died at that time, death is death. As Shennong said, 'death' means turning into chaos and returning to the disrespectful place of nothingness. In the ground, cut off hope, cut off senses, cut off everything, there is nothing. No one is not afraid of 'death', especially those who die with hatred, they refuse to rest their eyes, so they are stuck between life and death, and their souls will be left in the world ."
"During the two battles between the gods and demons, the souls that strayed and drifted in blood, wandering in the air all day long, screaming mournfully, never dissipating, suffering under the scorching sun during the day, some of them were burned alive and returned to chaos. , some survived, some slowed down at night, and the next day was still the same torture."
Shen Wei paused, looked towards the direction of his birth, and after a while, he continued: "Nu Wa then realized that what she created was not merit, but evil, and she gave the human race a splendid and short-lived, like a chūn flower. Such a fragile life, after a short life, let them suffer all the sufferings of the world, the suffering of the scorching sun, the suffering of having nowhere to attach to their souls, and the suffering of being chased by death all their lives.”
Shen Wei turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yunlan: "Some people say that the reason why the newborn cry is because he is one step closer to his destined death - so Shennong, who had already lost his godhead at that time, had no choice but to borrow his soul fire from you, It is to use the soul of the Mountain Sage to quell all the resentful spirits who died in the war, so that they will suffer less and rest in peace sooner, which is why the big wooden sign you left behind was named 'Spirit Requiring Order'."
At this time, the crack on the top of their heads got bigger and bigger, and finally a line of sky appeared, and the faint moonlight sprinkled in, and Zhoushan was about to collapse completely.
Shen Wei continued: "Shen Nong held one of your soul fires, and when he passed through Buzhou Mountain, he just caught up with Gonggong and rode the dragon, and hit the stone pillar of Buzhou Mountain with an attitude of no hesitation. The tail of the giant dragon was just right. Sweeping it on Shennong's shoulder, your soul fire fell from Shennong's hands, and by chance it landed on the disrespectful place at the foot of Buzhou Mountain."
Shen Wei paused, then sneered: "You and I said these things, I don't know if they are true or not, maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was deliberately done by Shennong, who knows?"
At this moment, Zhao Yunlan saw two people landed on the disrespectful place bào exposed in the world, it was Lord Kunlun and Clan Shennong.
Kunlun Jun seemed to look at the ghosts and ghosts in this place blankly, and asked, "What are these?"
Shennong said, "It's born."
