Warlock Notes

Chapter 3: Black and White Impermanence
Just when I was full of despair, I immediately felt a huge pain in my body, and there was a "pop" sound of branches breaking in my ears. I knew that I had fallen on the lychee tree downstairs.

I can't help but think of the classic plot in the novel. When the protagonist falls off the cliff, he is often blocked by the trees on the cliff, thus narrowly escaping.But that must be the plot of a novel, reality is reality, as soon as the body fell on the lychee tree, all the branches were broken immediately, and then the body lightened again, and continued to fall...

Soon, my body finally fell to the ground, and I felt the stars flying in my mind, and my whole body was in unbearable pain.But what makes me feel strange is that at the same time I landed, there was a scream next to my ear, and this scream seemed to come from under my body?
Did I hit someone?This is my first instinct.

I tried to open my eyes a little bit, and then I was vaguely surprised to find that there was a person under my body.Oh my God, I actually killed a man, and...and an old man!

When I was thinking like this in my heart, I then felt that the old man under my body hadn't been crushed to death by me, because he was moving, and he didn't seem to be seriously injured. I could feel him pulling me away , and then he got up.He cursed in his ears: "Where did you come from, you goddamned little brat, you die, and don't pull us an old man! Ouch, my waist..."

It may be because I was stabbed by a branch. After a while, my eyes were covered with blood, and I knew it must be the blood flowing from my head.Not only that, but my sanity gradually became blurred.So I exerted all my strength and kept shouting: "Old man save me, old man save me..."

Although I was yelling at the old man with all my strength, I also knew that my voice was very weak at that time. I just hoped that the old man could hear my cry for help and send me to the hospital in time.

I yelled several times, but my strength seemed to be exhausted, and my consciousness gradually faded. I vaguely heard the old man answer me, and then he complained: "Oh, today It’s true that you shouldn’t go out, today’s disaster of blood and light is really fulfilled here? Oh, forget it, it’s all fate, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, since your kid can hit me on the head, it’s God’s will..."

Hearing this, I couldn't hear what was behind me, because at this moment my head buzzed, and then I fainted...

After an unknown amount of time, when I tried to open my eyes again, I found myself walking on a strange road.

This place is very strange, I have never been there in my memory, the place where I can see is all gray, or the whole world is full of fog, I can't tell whether it is day or night, as if I am in the world Like a dream.

Looking at the front and back, I found that I was not alone on this road, there were a large number of passers-by in front of me, densely packed, and the end could not be seen at a glance!

I saw those who were traveling with me, men and women, old and young, with different clothes.They stumbled and walked forward step by step, with different expressions on their faces, some were ashen, some panicked, and some even howled and refused to move forward.

Looking at these various strangers in front of me, I feel even more puzzled, where is this?why am i here

Just when I was uneasy, suddenly, I saw a group of people in black clothes and tall hats appearing out of nowhere, holding sticks and chains, rushing straight to the howling and unwilling people, and then It was a burst of beatings for those who cried and refused to move forward.They were beaten to pieces, screaming again and again, extremely miserable, those men in black seemed to be inhuman, cold-blooded and ruthless.

Seeing the scene in front of me, I started to feel scared. How could there be such a vicious person in this world?Don't they know that killing someone is illegal?What the fuck is the difference between this and hell!
I fixedly looked at the group of men in black, but their clothes are very special, black robes, there is a red word "poor" on the robes, and there is also a word "poor" on the tall hats .If you look closely at this style, it looks familiar, as if you have seen it somewhere.

I thought about it, and then I finally understood why it looked so familiar. Isn't this the clothes of ancient officials in dramas or TV dramas?God, is this a filming?But it's not right, those men in black beat up just now, but they beat hard, and the skin was ripped apart?

But after a while, I was terrified, because I saw two people walking in front of me suddenly, and I recognized these two people at a glance...

One of them was wearing a white robe, his face was as white as powder, and he was wearing a white top hat. On the top hat was written four words: "The world is peaceful".He is holding a white mourning stick, and his whole body is white except for his long tongue, which is blood-red. He looks extremely terrifying, with his tongue hanging five or six inches long under his chin, which is no different from a hanged ghost; while the other one is like that On the contrary, the men in white are all black.He was holding a dark soul chain in his hand, with a fierce face, and he was also wearing a tall hat, but this hat was the same black as the clothes on his body, and there were four large characters written on the hat—" Get rich at first sight"!
Seeing this black and white, how could I not know them, because this outfit is so familiar, not only heard from the old people since I was a child, but also seen on the stage and in TV dramas.I guess, aren't these two people the black, white and impermanent duo in the legendary hell!
Ever since I was a child, I heard stories from the elders in the village. They said that Bai Wuchang was named Xie Bi'an, and Hei Wuchang was named Fan Wujiu, also known as Qi Ye and Ba Ye.It is said that Xie Fan and Xie Fan were sworn brothers since they were young.One day, the two walked together to the foot of the Nantai Bridge. It was about to rain, and the seventh master asked the eighth master to wait a little while and go home to get an umbrella. Because of his short stature, he was drowned in the water, and soon Qiye came with an umbrella, but Baye had disappeared, and Qiye was so painful that he hanged himself on the bridge pillar (so many images of Bai Wuchang have a long red tongue sticking out).Yan Wang Ye Jiaxun had a deep sense of faith and ordered them to arrest the criminals in front of the Town God's Temple.Some people say that Xie Bi'an means that if you reward the gods, you will be safe; Fan Wujiu means that people who break the law cannot be saved. Of course, these are all folklore.

Both Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang are servants in the Palace of the King of Hades, and their positions are somewhat similar to the servants in ancient government offices.The black and white impermanent colleagues, as well as the bull head and the horse face, are all yamen servants and catchers.Black impermanence and white impermanence, when they want to restrain the soul, they don't do it randomly. They don't have the right to make decisions, but only accept orders.The order comes from the King of Hades, who has a "book of life and death" that records everyone's name and longevity. A certain person is supposed to die at the age of 41. , So-and-so's soul was taken away, and so-and-so disappeared in the yang world!This is the so-called Hades wants you to die on the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch!
Bai Wuchang detains the souls of good people, while Hei Wuchang detains the souls of evil people. It is said that the souls detained by Bai Wuchang can be reincarnated smoothly, while the souls detained by Hei Wuchang are being punished in hell. Turn into the way of animals.In fact, it can be seen from their faces that one is good and the other is evil.Bai Wuchang had a kind smile on his face, while Hei Wuchang had a ferocious expression on his face.

Thinking of what the old people told me when I was a child, I couldn't help but panic.Black and white are impermanent, ghost messengers who specialize in people's souls, why are they here?This... is this filming?Or am I dreaming?

Although I was thinking this way in my head, I had an ominous premonition. The intuition deep in my heart told me that all this was real, and this was not a dream, let alone filming.Maybe I'm dead right now, and this is probably the Huangquan Road in the Underworld!

Isn’t there an old folk saying about Huangquan Road like this, saying that if you look up, you can’t see the sun, moon, and stars, and if you look down, you can’t see Yangguan Avenue. There are only souls who have just died and are on their way there.And isn't this gray world in front of you the scene of Huangquan Road that is widely circulated among the people?
And it is said that there is no inn on Huangquan Road, no matter how much money you have in Yangshi, it will still be useless here.There is only one way for all the dead souls to get here, and that is to go to Fengdu City, the underworld, to wait for the judge's verdict!If you do good deeds in the yang world and accumulate yin virtues, it’s okay, you can reincarnate from time to time to be a new person; but if you do evil in the yang world, then you will have to bear it in Fengdu City.

Just when I was feeling terrified, I heard black and white impermanence pointing at me and discussing: "It was a waste of time for us brothers to run up there, so this kid came down by himself..."

While saying this, Black and White Wuchang approached me, looked me up, and then took out a dark iron chain to put around my neck!

I was quite frightened by this blow, I hurriedly stepped back, and shouted: "What are you doing, why did you lock me up?"

I was panicked at the time, as if my intuition was telling me that being locked up by them represented the feeling of death.

Heiwuchang didn't seem to expect that I would dodge, so a trace of anger appeared on his face, and Heiwuchang immediately raised the mourning stick in his hand to greet me, which made me pale with fright.

Fortunately, just as Hei Wuchang was about to get angry, Bai Wuchang dissuaded him in time, then smiled at me and said: "Maybe you don't know yet, you are already at the end of your life, and we are here to take you back to the Yin Division to report of."

Although I had this kind of premonition early in the morning, after hearing these words from Bai Wuchang's mouth, I was still ashamed of being hit by a bolt from the blue sky...
