Record of Strange News in Northeast - C157
Her reaction was fast, and before I could place my hand on Little Flower, she had already grabbed my wrist. Don’t underestimate her size, her strength is quite strong.
“What’s wrong?” I asked curiously. She said, “If you take it off, it dies.” Just because of this, I wondered why. I said, “Alright, alright, alright. I won’t take it off. Let go of me.” As I spoke, she held on to my wrist so tightly that I could feel the ache in my veins. Where did this little girl get so much strength from? It was scary.
Hearing my words, she slowly let go of my hand, but still looked at me. I smiled as I shook my wrist. “Why are you so tired? Also, what’s wrong with these flowers?” She lowered her head to look at Little Flower without saying a word, as if blaming me for my actions just now. Actually, when I thought about it, strictly speaking, there was something wrong with me as well.
When Brother Liang asked me about plants and souls, Brother Liang told me that all living things have souls, and plants are no exception, but even families who come from the same clan have to eat to maintain their lives, why can’t they eat meat and eat plants? Brother Liang said that the living beings of the world can be divided into two types: emotionless and heartless, and this refers to plants that have no memory, have no understanding of their own suffering and happiness, and do not know their relationship with the outside world. This kind of life is called emotionless.
Humans and animals could be considered creatures of love, humans knew about honor, humiliation, joy, gratitude, and hatred, although animals were not as good as humans, but they also had relatively simple thoughts and feelings, so humans could interact with animals and produce feelings, and no matter what people did, they would not be able to produce the slightest bit of emotional entanglement with any kind of plant. Even so, when a plant was harmed, it would still cause resentment, even though this resentment was very small.
Even if we look at it with the naked eye, it seems clear and transparent, as if there’s nothing else, because they can’t think, they don’t feel pain, so they won’t feel resentment, the cause of resentment is because they feel pain and fear before they die, and the reason for that is because they can’t feel the negative emotions, the experts would clear away the resentment before they eat the meat, so eating the meat again would be no different from eating the vegetarian food, so eating the meat without any resentment would also decrease the taste, it’s just that no one’s cultivation can’t detect it.
I looked at the spirited little girl in front of me and suddenly had an idea. “Don’t you have no name? Let me give you one. Look at how beautiful this little flower is. You’re called Little Flower, right?” She happily said, “Okay, Little Flower, this is a good name.” Little Flower and I are having fun here. I don’t know how long it has been since I have felt so happy. This place is far from the suffering of the human world, so I almost don’t want to leave.
“Hey, Hao Zi, get up.” I was woken up by my master and sat up in a daze. “The car is waiting outside. Hurry up and wash up. What happened to your eyes?” I blinked a few times as I didn’t feel that anything was wrong. “What’s wrong, Master?”
Master carefully looked at my eyes and said, “It seems a little red, didn’t you rest well last night?” I said, “Maybe.” “Hurry up, don’t let others wait too long.”
The person who sent us off was a middle-aged man, and upon seeing us, he was slightly surprised. After greeting Master, he looked at me and Senior Brother Ju Yi and asked: “Which is Senior Brother Ju Yi?” His master was from the same generation as the First Martial Uncle, so he was also from the same generation as Senior Brother Ju Yi. On the other hand, it seemed that he was slightly older than Senior Brother Ju Yi, so he did not know why he called him Senior Brother Ju Yi.
After we got in the car, he chatted with us while driving, his tone filled with admiration for Senior Brother Ju Yi. It was only later on that I found out that most of the people in the same generation in the department called Senior Brother Ju Yi Senior Brother, on one hand because of politeness, and also because of the contributions that Senior Brother Ju Yi had rendered to the department in the recent years, making him famous, which was why he was acknowledged and respected by the people in the same generation. It could be said that this time, First Martial Uncle did not let Senior Brother Ju Yi go to the front line was also because of the higher ups’ suggestions.
This person was called Liu Heng and had been in the department for ten years, and was considered an old man in the department. However, due to his limited abilities, he could only do some errands, and how could such a person enter the department in a short time, and even stay there for ten years, it had something to do with his master. His master’s name was Xie Tiandu, and was someone who entered the department earlier than Pei Hongdu, and it was exactly this Xie Tiandu who was able to tell that Pei Hongdu was an Asura who had reincarnated, and the Asura Qi on his body was too strong, causing him to almost appear as an Asura.
Speaking of his master, Xie Tiandu, Liu Heng let out a bitter laugh. So it turned out that Xie Tian had taken in quite a few disciples in his entire life, Liu Heng was his last generation disciple, his personality was unstable and his movements were mysterious, he had always been impure when he proposed to the department. When Pei Hongdu had left the department, he claimed that he had offended Pei Hongdu, and thus, he never heard of Pei Hongdu taking revenge on him, and he only taught Liu Heng a few sentences. Then, he shamelessly asked the department to give Liu Heng a job driving.
At night, we finally arrived at the place, and the four of us anxiously went to find Senior Brother Ju E. Although this was in the hospital, Senior Brother Ju E’s entire body was not bandaged at all, so we were finally able to relax. The person who received us was the person in charge here, and after hearing his words, we realized that the things that happened to Senior Brother Ju E were much more serious than his injuries.
In the operation a few days ago, Senior Brother Ju E was ambushed and injured by poisonous needles from members of the Longevity Hall. After being poisoned, Senior Brother Ju E’s spirit energy was released continuously through the three major acupoints on his head, even a person with a lot of spirit energy like Senior Brother Ju E would not be able to withstand it, once there was spirit energy, he would become a fool.
I said why did Senior Brother Ju E look at us with empty eyes when he sealed his spiritual energy? So that’s the case, when I thought about this, I suddenly felt like laughing, sealed spiritual energy is an extremely dangerous thing, it requires the user to use his full strength to communicate with the world, the sealed spiritual energy had also cut off this person’s communication with the world. Not only would the reaction of the person’s spiritual energy be greatly reduced, the person without proper memory would not be able to recognize the person for a long period of time, causing irreversible brain atrophy. In this way, even if the three acupoints on the head were opened and spiritual energy was communicated, the nature of the human soul would not recover. In other words, it would become a different person, a completely different soul with the same memory.
Looking at the stupefied person in front of us, the three of us fell into depression. No wonder they said they hoped that First Martial Uncle would come, it was probably because they hoped that First Martial Uncle would be able to save their own disciple. Senior Brother Ju Yi said: “If it really isn’t possible, let my master come. His Master disagreed, “No, we can’t let him come. He has something to do.” I really don’t know why First Martial Uncle couldn’t come. According to what I know, First Martial Uncle has always doted on Senior Brother Ju E, his youngest disciple, and ever since Ju E couldn’t speak, First Martial Uncle has always cared for him, afraid that he might get hurt. This time, I really don’t understand First Martial Uncle.
“If Master knew that Junior Brother was like this, he would definitely come.” Senior Brother Ju Yi insisted on coming to First Martial Uncle, and his master said: “You don’t know, he really has something very important that he cannot leave home without.”
Senior Brother Ju Yi sighed heavily, I looked at the dazed Senior Brother Ju E, and thought of the Senior Brother Ju Ming who was lying on the bed at home. Why is it that everyone around me is so unlucky, at this moment, I would rather that Senior Brother Ju E lost an arm or a leg, than to sit there foolishly without moving my eyes at all.
For a moment, we couldn’t think of any countermeasures, and could only give Senior Brother Ju E a simple wipe to feed him some porridge, but that wouldn’t solve any of the practical problems, especially with Senior Brother Ju E’s abundant spirit energy, the rebound of spirit energy would be even stronger, and we don’t know what would happen when that happens.
During the day, looking at my master’s appearance, it seemed that there was something hard going on in the First Martial Uncle, but it seemed like there were some things that couldn’t be explained to us, and even Senior Brother Ju Yi couldn’t be told. Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but have a strange feeling in my heart, that kind of feeling was very uncomfortable, but I couldn’t shake it off.
The hospital was at the edge of the city, and at night there was nothing to see. Everything was dark except for the hospital building, and the surrounding trees rustled in the night wind. I was bored by the sight of them and was about to turn around and lie down when I saw something wrong with the tree.
