The years I was a birdman

Chapter 152 Causal Cycle
"Why does he have such staring eyes, as if possessed by an evil spirit?" Zhang Shifei asked in a low voice.

It is already midnight, around [-]:[-], and the three of them each found a chair to sit down. From time to time, Mr. Cui picked up some paper money and lit it and threw it into the iron basin. When the paper money burned, it gave off a very pungent smell. , and besides Mr. Cui, my younger brother is just two smokers, and now I have been shocked and scared, how to pass the time for the rest of the situation, from the beginning to now, the two of them have smoked a whole box of cigarettes , Cigarette smoke mixed together, the whole room was smoky.

The angry Mr. Cui got up and slapped Fatty Li on the back of the forehead: "Your uncle, stop smoking! I choked to death!"

Fatty Li rubbed the back of his head, pointed at Zhang Shifei with an aggrieved face and said, "He smoked too, why don't you hit him?"

Mr. Cui scolded contemptuously: "He smoked back, but he didn't expect you to make a noise like this!"

Zhang Shifei on the side smiled wryly. To be honest, I don’t blame Fatty Li for this. The bacon-like corpse is not very attractive. It is not like before. When I heard about the corpse, I was quite scared. If I say that I am still scared now, the dead person is sitting next to me, just like a fool As if missing, he didn't blink his eyes.

It's no wonder that Li Lanying gets sleepy, that's why he smokes, but smoking just isn't fun, so the fat man wraps up the cigarette holder, I think, occasionally raising his head too much and spit out a small eye circle, it's really quite suitable for everyone , Mr. Cui's anger is naturally reasonable, and Zhang Shifei also thinks it's too boring to waste time like this. After all, the funeral tomorrow morning will be at six o'clock at the earliest, and it's only one o'clock now, and there are still five hours left. Let him sit for five hours , so why not suffocate him to death?

The dogs and men on the sofa are still the same as before, sticking together like cutting cakes, the expression of the man is dull, and the face of the woman is charming.

So Zhang Shifei wanted to find a topic. He asked Mr. Cui why Dong Sizhe looked like a fool. Mr. Cui seemed a little bored, so he got up and opened the curtains. The windows were open. It’s always good, otherwise, when I opened the door, I thought the house was on fire. After drawing the curtains, Mr. Cui returned to his seat and sat down. Vice-virtue?"

Zhang Shifei nodded, and Mr. Cui said again: "It's one o'clock now, and he will probably be back to normal by three o'clock."

According to legend, after death, the soul leaves the body for a period of confusion. Of course, if you believe it, it is said that the human body and the soul are closely connected, but after the body dies, the soul loses its temporary residence. Therefore, it will float away from the body and go to the 'Yin Market' to get the 'ghost heart'. This is a necessary process, except for some souls with strong resentment that will become ghosts and those who are gifted or cultivated , basically cannot be changed.

It is said that the soul stays in the body for a long time, and suddenly leaves, and there will be a strong sense of confusion for a while. At this time, the soul does not believe that it is dead. This will happen. To put it simply, it is Just like seeing a beautiful woman raising a flag, it is a physiological reaction given by God, called the "misty period". Speaking of this, you may think that this reaction is quite ambiguous. It is completely superfluous to take off your pants and fart. There is no such thing as "doing nothing". It's really cool to take off your pants and fart, let alone this "drowning period" that is very important to the soul?For example, if those atheists died and fought against feudal superstition all their lives, but only after they died did they realize that they had been slapping themselves all the time.

So to some extent, the way of heaven is still merciful. It is this "drowning period" that dispels the concerns of some souls and gives them enough time to believe that they are dead. There are often monks and Taoist priests chanting scriptures for this "drowning period". The ghosts in the misty period have white eyes and dull eyes. They have no worries and no ink. They can be said to be fools. The soul at this time is the best It is also the most dangerous to be deceived, so it is necessary to light the 'eternal lamp' or 'white candle' to illuminate it, in case those evil spirits come to capture the soul.

That's why they stayed to watch the night. That's the same reason why the monks recited the scriptures. The scriptures have magical power. After death, people can't hear things, but they can hear the scriptures. It will help the soul get out of the misty period early Erdeng Bian, of course, this "Erdeng Bian" is to go to Yinshi, there are two ways to go to Yinshi, one is people with good fortune, these people's souls will automatically appear in their minds after the twilight period There is another way to go to the Yin City for more than half a step. There is another way, that is, the ghost messengers seduce the soul. Since ancient times, there have been legends of ghost messengers appearing all over the world. Their job is to help those who cannot go to the Yin City on their own journey. .

Mr. Cui's ability to tell stories is really good. As soon as he mentioned his expertise, he began to talk to the two of them endlessly. It was like telling storytelling jokes. Drowsy, I saw that Mr. Cui was sitting on a chair with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and then said to the two of them: "The one over there is now in the midst of mistiness. According to my opinion, it's probably three o'clock." It's almost time to wake up."

"Yes." The female ghost in yellow on the sofa put her arms around Dong Sizhe's neck and said, "I really hope he wakes up soon, after so many years, he can finally be with me for real."

"I hope he won't wake up." Mr. Cui smiled, and then said: "If he wakes up, he doesn't have to make a fuss when he sees me."

Zhang Shifei and the others didn't understand Mr. Cui's words, but the female ghost in yellow laughed, and said to Mr. Cui, "Oh, I can't, isn't there me here?"

Then Mr. Cui looked at the elder sister who was a little speechless, and said: "Let's talk about the ugly words first, don't look at you here, but if he really 'shows his face' with me, don't blame me for beating him."

The female ghost in yellow covered her face with her small hands, giggled for a while, and then said to Mr. Cui with a smile all over her face: "Okay, if that's the case, I won't stop you, okay, Sizhe is really Some of them are not enlightened, and you are right to wake them up for me."

"Sister, I haven't seen you for so long, why do you think so?" Mr. Cui said with a smile.

The female ghost in yellow lovingly nodded Dong Sizhe's forehead with her fingers, and then said: "Yes, this dead man, thanks to the fact that I cook for him every day, he is actually afraid of me, and has asked several gentlemen to deal with me... "

"The people he invited are really unlucky to meet you." Mr. Cui said with some dumbfounding.

One person and one ghost opened the chatter box, Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying suddenly felt bored again, looking at Mr. Cui's expression, it was completely different from usual, he looked a bit like those old men who drank tea and nostalgic, kept talking about the past, damn it.

So, he interrupted Mr. Cui's conversation, and he said to Mr. Cui: "Hey, I said break up, don't be too busy talking about the past with this eldest sister, didn't you say that you will tell me what is going on at night Son? It’s already a bit too much, do you still want to talk about it?”

Mr. Cui turned around and looked at Zhang Shifei, and then at the female ghost in yellow. The female ghost smiled and nodded, as if she didn't care, but Mr. Cui still sighed and didn't know what he was doing. Why do you always sigh, I saw him think for a while, then stood up, and said to the right and wrong: "Okay, you come downstairs with me to get some air."

"Then I split up!" Li Lanying asked hastily.

Mr. Cui glanced at Li Lanying, and then said to him, "Stay where you are and stand by."

Li Lanying quit immediately, think about it, throw you in a room, let you stay with two ghosts and a dead body, would you like it?
Fatty Li is naturally unhappy, his head shaking like a rattle, I saw him say: "I don't want to play with you like this, split up, even if I wipe my nose on your handbag today Shit, you can’t do that to me too?!”

"What! You dare to wipe booger on my handbag!" Mr. Cui was furious, and the tragic Li Lanying realized that it was not because of this. He smiled awkwardly, then turned his fat head to one side, and used Rubbing the toes on the ground, he said to himself, "Then what... Hey, brother split, do you care about me?"

"Let me cherish you!!" Obviously, the fat man's cute and cheap look would only make Mr. Cui more annoyed, and he was unambiguous, kicking the fat man's rear.

The fat man covered his butt and didn't dare to say anything, he was really afraid of this evil parting, only to see that Mr. Cui said angrily: "You think about it here, or you won't be paid!"

After all, he winked at Zhang Shifei and told him to go downstairs with him. Zhang Shifei motioned to follow, and the two of them walked out the door. Since the elder next door had been busy all day, they both fell asleep. The two dared not make any noise, so they timidly opened the door, and walked out without closing the door.

The two came downstairs. It was already late at night, and few houses in the whole community were still lit. They came to a bench in the community. After Mr. Cui sat down, he crossed his legs and lit the Having smoked a cigarette for half the night, Zhang Shifei also sat down, waiting for Mr. Cui to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

As I said just now, there is wind tonight, and when there is wind, the grass will move. Summer is fading away. It is hard to see the coolness, neither hot nor cold, which makes people feel very comfortable. Then Mr. Cui took a puff of a cigarette and seemed to be organizing After a long time, I saw him muttering: "If you want to say that the relationship between the female ghost in yellow and me is indeed very deep. When I first entered this industry, I was younger than you. I met it. The first ghost."

Finally, finally, this split started to talk about his own affairs, Zhang Shifei sighed in his heart, thinking about him and Li Lanying coming back from Yingzhou, coming to Fuzetang by accident, and then by accident I met this Mr. Cui by mistake, and then became this Mr. Cui's apprentice by mistake, so far I embarked on this same path of exorcism by mistake. Those who are stingy can't be stingy anymore, but they have saved the two countless times. Mr. Cui knows everything about the two of them very well, but the two of them can be said to know nothing about Mr. Cui. Zhang Shifei has always been very curious. Where did the split-headed ability come from?The yellow paper he usually uses should be a spell, so what about his black snake bone?
It seems that taking this opportunity to finally get to know him, Zhang Shifei froze his ears, for fear of letting go of any content, while Mr. Cui's tone was very flat, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

Mr. Cui said, as the saying goes, "the old cat sleeps in the house and passes on from generation to generation".Many people in this line of work can only become talents through family heirlooms or the guidance of famous teachers, but he is different, he is just an ordinary kid who doesn't know anything, just like Zhang Shifei, who spends his days eating and drinking, etc. until one day, he really died, and then came to the junction of the world and the underworld - 'Yin City'.

"What, have you 'died'?" Zhang Shifei didn't want to interrupt at first, but after Mr. Cui said a few words, he couldn't help it.

Mr. Cui nodded, and then said: "That's right, did I tell you before? It's the same as you, but we go to different places."

Zhang Shifei was speechless, he thought to himself, when he and Fatty Li first arrived at Fuzetang, this part seemed to have said that he had been to those places, but the two of them couldn't listen to his nonsense at the time , Now that I think about it, I was really stupid, but after a few months, my current state of mind is very different from when I first came back. It can be said that what Zhang Zhengfei learned in the past few months is better than what I have learned in the past [-] years. Learned even more this year.

It has to be said that this is the experience that tempers people's hearts. Zhang Shifei thought lamentably. He has also been to that junction, and he has also been there separately. Is this really an arrangement of fate?In the vagueness, is there really an invisible force manipulating all this?
Mr. Cui continued to tell his own story. It turned out that he met an expert who died last year in the Yin market. The expert accepted Mr. Cui as his apprentice and taught him a book called "Three Qings "Book" and sent him back to Yang. So far, besides bearing the fate of "five evils and three shortcomings", Mr. Cui has also mastered the most exquisite Taoist metaphysics, that is, the art of spells.

The art of spells is the foundation of Taoism. After learning it, you can kill demons and help justice. But you must know that in today's society, where are there so many ghosts? That's why Mr. Cui didn't meet him until he was in college. The first ghost I saw was the elder sister in yellow who was holding Dong Sizhe upstairs.

The reason why she is called 'Big Sister' is because she is really old. If she lived to this day, she would have more than 30 pieces. However, she died very early, so she has kept her previous appearance, Mr. Cui said. , this female ghost in yellow is not the "ghost" that ordinary people say, and the ghosts that are commonly referred to can be regarded as ghosts at best. In front of Mr. Cui, she is not even a root vegetable, but the female ghost in yellow But it's different, it was born in a cloudy year and a cloudy day, and happened to kill itself in a cloudy year and a cloudy moon. Half yin and half evil, that is because it still has consciousness and can control its own behavior, but if it is not handled properly and it is stimulated, then it will become an 'extreme cathode evil'.

The extremely negative evil is the dead among the evil spirits. To be conservative, even the present Mr. Cui has little chance of winning the fight, and the reason why the eldest sister committed suicide is because of Dong Sizhe, and Dong Sizhe is not What a good man, he played with the feelings of the woman in yellow, causing her to commit suicide. Several years later, he met Mr. Cui.

At that time, Mr. Cui took a lot of effort to subdue the female ghost in yellow, and promised to send it to Yinshi, but during this time, something happened that would affect Mr. Cui's life.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Shifei couldn't help but interrupted again.

Mr. Cui had finished smoking his cigarette, he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and said to Zhang Shifei: "I was still in college at that time, and I had a girlfriend. We are very good, hehe, you know, One day, she asked me to accompany her to his brother's house for dinner..."

Looking at Mr. Cui's obscene expression, Zhang Shifei smiled tacitly, thinking to himself, I never thought you would be young at this part, so he asked again: "And then?"

Mr. Cui's expression suddenly became a little depressed, he sighed, and then said: "Then I found out that Dong Sizhe is my girlfriend Dong Shanshan's brother......"

Damn, there is no need for such a coincidence, writing a novel, is this?Zhang Shifei opened his mouth in surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "And then?"

"Then, I got too drunk and beat up that grandson." Mr. Cui said with a wry smile, "I used a beer bottle to open that grandson's head, and as a result, Dong Shanshan dumped me."

Damn, that's what happened. Zhang Shifei thought about it, and then said: "I really feel worthless for you. For others, my own happiness is involved."

Mr. Cui smiled, then leaned back on the bench, and said to Zhang Shifei meaningfully: "Have you ever complained about society?"

Zhang Shifei didn't know why he asked that question, so he smiled, recalling what he had seen during this period, and said, "You mean society? Of course, what a fucking society."

"Well said." Mr. Cui raised his head, looked at the gray night sky in Harbin, and then said to Zhang Shifei: "Whether poor or rich, everyone complains about this society. You are too young, so don't be unwilling to listen to it." , I’m talking about psychology, you say I’m worthless, yes, I can ignore it at the time, because this society is like this, but if everyone thinks like you, what’s the justice? We always say that the law of heaven is fair Yes, as everyone knows, we are also a part of the way of heaven, and instead of complaining, it is better to act, because what you just thought will make this fucking society even more fucking."

Zhang Shifei was speechless for a moment. He suddenly felt that what Mr. Cui said made sense. I don’t know when it started. The society seemed to have changed. The changes were different from what was written in the books. Only now did Zhang Shifei understand that it was not the society that had changed. But people, if everyone is selfish, then of course this society will not be much better. These words touched him too much. Thinking of this, Zhang Shifei murmured: "This... is worth it. Is it?"

"It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not. You can't change others, you can only change yourself. Don't complain that there are many bad people and few good people. As long as you persist, even if there is no reward, you will still gain something, because because of you, there are many bad people. There is one more good person in society."

Zhang Shifei suddenly realized what he said, this is right, yes, it is better to be a good person than a bad person, even if a bad person is often better than a good person, this is indeed true, but Zhang Shifei has a deep understanding, think about his past , eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, if an old lady fell down on the road, it would be great if he and Li Lanying didn't spit on the old lady, and said that Dong Sizhe was playing with women's feelings, so where is it, Zhang Shifei alone Change at least once a week, not to mention Fatty Li, who used to have a Russian nickname, the famous 'Don't prostitute and feel uncomfortable'.

Thinking about the two people's bad bubbling in the past, the scenery is beautiful, but did they get a good end?No, Zhang Shifei wants to cry now just thinking about it, right? First he became a fat bird, and then he became a 'shemale', and his most beloved woman died. It's really unlucky, it can't be more unlucky, he and Fatty It was useless to complain all the time, until I did something good, things turned around.

Song Jia before was the one played by the Monkey King. Without the help of the two of them, she might have committed suicide now. This is also considered saving a life. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seventh level Futu, after doing something good, Zhang Shifei unexpectedly met Xu Ying's reincarnation!It was certainly not the best gift for him.

Ever since he met Cai Handong's little shou, Zhang Shifei believed in the reality of the cycle of karma. At this moment, he suddenly realized that it was not accidental that he could find Xu Ying's reincarnation. Fruit! !

It seems that Mr. Cui is indeed right, this merit point is indeed a good thing, Zhang Shifei swallowed, then nodded to Mr. Cui and said: "F... Brother Cui, I understand."

"You still know very little, lack of practice." Mr. Cui said with a smile.

Zhang Shifei smiled wryly. It was not the first time he heard this sentence. The first time he heard Mr. Cui say this to him, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Mr. Cui simply looked down on him and Li Lanying, but the more he heard it, Only then did Zhang Shifei feel that he was really lacking in practice, and he was getting more and more lacking in practice.

He said to Mr. Cui: "Okay, don't talk about me anymore, let's continue to talk about this matter, the one who called you today is the female ghost in yellow, don't they know the way to Yinshi?"

Mr. Cui shook his head, then said, "Of course not."

"Then why do you still come?" Zhang Shifei said to Mr. Cui: "You are really a bad person this time, you said you have helped it, and it does not need you, why do you still come , Then Dong Shanshan is the niece that old man Dong mentioned during dinner today, how embarrassing do you think she will come tomorrow?"

"I also know it's embarrassing." Mr. Cui smiled awkwardly, and then said to Zhang Shifei, "But I have to come."

Zhang Shifei didn't understand, so he asked again: "Eh? Why is this?"

Mr. Cui held up two fingers and said to Zhang Shifei: "Two points, one, I'm afraid that the eldest sister will be stimulated when she is on the road, if she transforms, it will be over, and two... ..."

Zhang Shifei hurriedly asked: "What is the second?"

Mr. Cui said with a serious expression: "Seven Treasures White Moon Wheel."
