Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits - Chapter 249
But the next scene made me laugh, because Bai then dragged out of the bag that looked very heavy-a corpse?
I was taken aback first, and then I was wrong. ?? Eight Chinese? W? W? W ?. ? 8㈧1㈠Z? W㈧. ? CQO? M?
Not a corpse, it should be said that the “body” is better. Because the exposed skin is not as rosy as a dead body, but rosy and fair as a living person. Then it wasn’t until Bai took the entire “body” out of the bag that I could clearly see the face, which was clearly Wen Jiubai’s face.
This is how the same thing?
Before my surprised mouth was closed, a breeze blew around me. The sand and soil left behind by the ruins were all around, and I raised my hand to cover my eyes in order to prevent the sand from getting into my eyes.
After the gust passed, Wen Jiubai, who was now by my side, was gone, and Wen Jiubai, who had just been lying in the cloth bag, sat up against his forehead.
“I really thank you, Bai.” Wen Jiubai said with a frown, and his face was not so good. “Even if you keep packing me in such a rag bag, did you drag it all the way?”
“So, what can I do?” Bai’s voice sounded very guilty. “You’re so heavy, you can’t even carry my back!”
Wen Jiubai gave a white glance and rubbed his temple to stand up from the cold ground.
“So, that …” I said dryly, raising one hand, “Isn’t this the only one here who doesn’t know what happened?”
“That’s a long story.” Wen Jiubai took a white look and patted the soil on his body. “This is not a good place to chat, let’s go back to the old house first.”
Although that being said, the old house now is obviously already bleak.
From the plants in the courtyard, to the walls of the house, and the furniture in the house, it seemed as if they had been hit by a tornado. Even the huge old locust tree in the courtyard was not spared. Waist cut into two sections, lying flat in the yard.
Wen Jiubai stepped into the courtyard and said nothing in silence. I can’t see his expression from my position, but I can imagine the depressed mood of Wen Jiubai.
Although he never said it, this old house is undoubtedly his hard work. The four seasons are like the warmth of spring, and the scene of blooming flowers is like a peach blossom in the darkness.
But now …
When I looked around sadly, Wen Jiubai stepped into the room. The plaque on the top of the main house that reads “Xie Yaoge” was crooked at this time, as if it would fall at any time.
“This is really terrible.” Bai whispered, followed Wen Jiubai across the threshold and entered the room.
Wen Jiubai entered the room and sat in the corner of the bed. Bai and I each found a place where I could settle down and sat down.
“Gu Yu, you must have a lot of questions right now?” Even if Wen Jiubai was still sitting in the broken wreckage, he still looked like a king and did not feel at odds. “You can ask, I will answer you truthfully . “
Yeah … I still have a lot of things left unclear. However, due to the adventure I just made, I almost have to forget these questions.
“I don’t understand.” I said straightforwardly, “Xu Yingchen, the Taoist Ling Xiao told me, he has killed you. Shouldn’t he lie? I saw the image of you being killed, And I later found you in the cracks of the underworld. So … you should have died once, but why now … “
“Well, this question is very simple.” Wen Jiubai smiled and said, “I am indeed ‘dead’, but now I can still stand here because I’m ‘resurrected.’”
For a moment, I felt teased by Wen Jiubai and said unpleasantly, “Don’t fool me as a child. What does it mean?”
Wen Jiubai laughed: “No, you listen to me. Very simple, I told you a long time ago. People living and walking in this world are composed of two parts, the body and the soul, right ? “
I nodded.
“The one who has the soul but no body is a ghost; the one who has the body but no soul is a beast; the one that does not match the soul is a demon.”
“The body doesn’t match the soul?” I asked.
“Yes. Let me tell you this, human beings will only have one body in their lifetime, do you agree?” Wen Jiubai asked, but he did not wait for my answer to continue. “As long as human beings are still alive, ** can’t be separated. A person’s life is only accompanied by his innate body. Otherwise, he cannot survive. But you see me and Bai. “
My gaze turned to Wen Jiubai and Bai sitting beside.
“The body we use now is different from our original body?” Wen Jiubai asked.
“Well … you were a nine-tailed fox, and Bai was a weasel,” I said inconclusively.
“What weasel! They all said ferrets, ferrets!” Bai jumped up all of a sudden, but of course I ignored him.
“That’s right.” Wen Jiubai continued, “The body we are using has been transfigured through black magic. In other words, we are now using a body that is not consistent with the original, but still safe. Live in this world. Is it difficult for humans to imagine? “
I nodded, it was true.
“However, like humans, the soul and the body are still closely interdependent. Without the body, if only the soul is in the world, it will gradually lose its reason and become a terrible evil spirit.” Wen Jiubai said, “So, you The image I saw when I was killed was real. I was really killed by Xu Yingchen at that time. “
Wen Jiubai said that I was more embarrassed, and interrupted him in a hurry, “wait, but you are standing in front of me now, and it is not a ghost, it is flesh and blood-“
Speaking of which I suddenly froze, as if I understood something.
Could it be …
Wen Jiubai smiled when he saw my expression.
“Yes, that’s what you think. The body I use now is not the same body that was` `killed ” by Ling Xiao.”
I couldn’t help but widen my eyes. “But, how did this happen?” It was incredible.
“I have already said very simple.” Wen Jiubai laughed. “The one killed by him is a puppet.”
“Person, puppet?”
“Thanks to your previous journey through the future, tell me that I will die someday in the future. Don’t look at me like that, but a rather selfish person.” Wen Jiubao said with a smile, “So I know the news of my death After that, I will do my best to find a way to save myself. Therefore, before you told me the news of the death, until Ling Xiao came to the door, I had been making a puppet that looked exactly like myself. “
I was surprised: “Can I do it?”
Wen Jiubai nodded, “It can be done. Using pork fiber, dog’s heart, and rabbit’s blood, plus black art, you can make a flesh and blood body almost the same as myself. However, Ling Xiao is a very intelligent person If I just hid aside and manipulated the body by manipulative operation, he would instantly discover that it was not me. Therefore, I chose to save the original body, and the soul enters the puppet I made, so that he is really real ‘ Kill ‘I once.’
From Wen Jiubai’s words, I gradually understood the cause and effect, and could not help but be surprised by Wen Jiubai’s boldness.
“But you are really killed like this! If I didn’t go to the crack to find you …”
“Then I’m really dead, then.” Wen Jiubai said with a smile.
“You are crazy!” I squeezed these words out of my teeth, and my heart beating fiercely because of fear. “It was also when I just escaped from the crack! We are almost going to die there!” “
However, Wen Jiubai didn’t care at all. “That’s why it’s called death. If you don’t use this method, I will certainly die in Ling Xiao’s hands, and your death period will not be too far away. No, The crazy man’s words might even cause more terrible things. “
I can hardly speak. This guy, obviously he has experienced two times of life and death, why can he talk so calmly?
It may be that the atmosphere between the two of us is too stiff. Bai quickly jumped out of the round and said, “Well, that, no matter how, you two come back safely, this is a gratifying thing. What’s the matter, right? “
My eyes turned to white, only then realized a problem.
“Speaking of which, Bai, why do you keep the human appearance now? I just felt strange just now, haven’t you lost all your magic power?”
I didn’t expect Bai to frown and shook his head. “That, I don’t know. It is logically like this … but I don’t know why, there seems to be some strong anger suddenly around here, so I’m relaxed Can become human. “
“Is that so …” I mumbled, could it be the reason for Xiaoxiao? After that **** took away Ruyi, what did he do to see something unseen?
correct!
Thinking of Xu Yingchen, I suddenly remembered a very important question. Obviously very important, but I forgot about it all after a run.
“That, Wen Jiubai.” I suddenly shifted and kicked and looked at Wen Jiubai. “I have another question for you. This is what Xu Yingchen said to me. Although I know what he said is not very credible, but Just in case, I still want to ask you. “
“Huh?” Wen Jiubai responded, looking at me.
“That is, he said that the person who sealed you was not him, but … me.” I asked, puzzled, “What does this mean?”
