[Urban Spirituality] Heaven's Way

Chapter 45 The price of growth

Zuo Mu spoke very calmly, but to Yan Shanshan's ears, it was like explosives that exploded in her mind instantly. She never thought that Zuo Mu would ask such a question.

"You, who are you..." Yan Shanshan stared blankly at Zuo Mu, her face was the same color as the white paint on the wall, but her eyes were deep, looking at Zuo Mu as if she wanted to suck him in.

She stretched out her hand involuntarily, wanting to grab Zuo Mu: "You, who are you?"

Then she widened her eyes, looked at Zuo Mu and asked sharply: "What about him (her), where is he (she)?"

he?or is it her?

Zuo Mu was confused for a moment, and he even suspected that what they said was not the same thing at all. Some time ago, in the bathroom of Xu Lei's house, the female ghost who attacked Ye Yiqing had an aura similar to that of Yan Shanshan. Yan Shanshan summoned her, but Yan Shanshan in front of her showed no signs of losing her lifespan. Zuo Mu was [-]% sure that the female ghost was summoned by Yan Shanshan, but how Yan Shanshan did it, Zuo Mu was very curious.

"Miss Yan, I don't know what you're talking about, you didn't answer my question." Zuo Mu spoke very calmly.

Yan Shanshan looked at Zuo Mu, as if meeting him for the first time, looked at him, studied him, "Who are you?"

Yan Shanshan was also obsessed with her own problems. Zuo Mu sighed slightly. He really didn't like arguing with others, so Zuo Mu took the lead in compromising: "My name is Zuo Mu, and I'm a Taoist priest."

After Zuo Mu finished speaking, he looked at Yan Shanshan calmly, waiting for her answer. Zuo Mu felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer, but Yan Shanshan was in a daze after hearing it, as if she had been greatly shocked.

"You are a Taoist priest...you are a Taoist priest..." Yan Shanshan muttered to herself, she wasn't talking to Zuo Mu.

Zuo Mu turned his head and glanced at Xiao Shi, he was very puzzled, what is the situation now, Xiao Shi shrugged, in fact, he sympathized with Yan Shanshan, but now he is more interested in how Yan Shanshan managed to attract ghosts without reducing her life, he He signaled Zuo Mu to continue the interrogation.

Xiaoshi and Jiaozi made a cheering gesture, signaling Zuo Mu to work hard.

The corner of Zuo Mu's mouth twitched, and he told himself to hold back, not to throw spells at them.

Yan Shanshan closed her eyes, her whole body seemed to be convulsed, she lay limply on the table, her head buried in her arms, she seemed to no longer want to see Zuo Mu: "I know, I should have knew……"

This series of soliloquies made everyone whet their appetites, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

Yan Shanshan lay on the ground for a while, seeming to be brewing emotions, and seemed to be calming down. After a while, she raised her head and looked directly at Zuo Mu. She stretched out her hand, and her wrist was a black braided bracelet.

Seeing this, Zuo Mu and Xiaoshi's eyes widened. After a while, Jiaozi and Chengzi also realized that the bracelet was not braided with rope, but hair, a strand of hair!

Hair has been a common method of casting spells and lowering the head since ancient times. Take a piece of hair and cast a spell on the hair, and the owner of the hair will have various problems.

Obviously, this is not Ye Yiqing's hair, and naturally it cannot be Yan Shanshan's own hair, so there is only one possibility, and this possibility makes the ghosts of Jiaozi and Chengzi feel creepy.

Xiao Shi squinted her eyes: "That female ghost gave it to you." She used a full affirmative sentence.

Yan Shanshan smiled weakly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Xiaochi told me that this chain can keep me safe for the rest of my life, as long as she's around."

Koike?

Zuo Mu frowned, a very bold guess formed in his mind, Zuo Mu's eyes widened.

Yan Shanshan nodded, "You guessed it right, Xiaochi is gone, right?"

Xiao Shi and Zuo Mu already had the answer in their minds, but Dumpling and Cheng Zi were still confused.

Yan Shanshan looked at the bracelet, her eyes gradually became soft and sad, "I didn't expect that she would help me, and I didn't even expect that she would talk to me... At first I really hated Xu Lei, he abandoned me, and I loved him So kind, treat him wholeheartedly, but he only thinks about Ye Yiqing. I thought at that time, what would happen if there was no Ye Yiqing in this world... I saw the method of recruiting ghosts in the bathroom from the Internet, it is very simple, just a bowl Longevity noodles, chicken blood and sesame oil can do it, I don’t know what I thought at the time, I just did it, and then Xiaochi appeared, I was very lucky, right, many people summoned evil spirits, I Koike was summoned..."

With Yan Shanshan's narration, the whole matter gradually became clearer. After learning that Xu Lei cheated on her, Yan Shanshan felt resentful. She really wanted to do something, but the other party was a big star, and she was just an ordinary person. She just hugged and tried. In fact, Yan Shanshan didn't really want Ye Yiqing to have an accident, she just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction, but she didn't expect that Yan Shanshan would summon a girl who died wronged. The ghost, that is, the Xiaochi Yan Shanshan mentioned.

"...In those days, she was always with me. She was afraid that I would be overwhelmed. If I joined her camp, how could I be overwhelmed? How could I die? I am so cowardly and afraid of death. She often tells me that she What happened before I was alive, but I can't think about it, I can't think about it, I want revenge, I want revenge very much, in order to help me, Xiaochi cast a curse on me, I didn't want her to have an accident, I just wanted her to not be a star... …Unfortunately, she is not a star, but Xu Lei still likes her, and even took her home, I am really jealous..."

Yan Shanshan couldn't help crying when she thought of this, she covered her face and sobbed, "I really didn't expect her to be so stupid that she ran to threaten Ye Yiqing because of me..."

Hearing this, Zuo Mu was suddenly speechless, and ran to threaten Ye Yiqing, Xu Lei's house, the bathroom... Isn't that right?Zuo Mu felt his ears buzzing.

The matter has become clear at this point, no wonder Yan Shanshan was not affected, because the act of intimidating Ye Yiqing was the act of the female ghost herself. The female ghost was just trying to scare Ye Yiqing, but he happened to see it, Zuo Mu suddenly felt I really like to meddle in my own business, but he accidentally killed a ghost, a ghost that couldn't be reincarnated, and a new life died.

Xiao Shi came over and pressed Zuo Mu's shoulder, Yan Shanshan was immersed in grief, Jiaozi and Chengzi were listening to the story, they didn't notice Zuo Mu's abnormality, at this moment, the matter could be connected, they guessed the answer but There is no guessing process.

Yan Shanshan stared at the bracelet made of hair, "She said, I look like a friend of hers, maybe it's the reincarnation of that friend... Do you know that this bracelet was originally red, and she had a bunch of red hair during her lifetime, which was dyed. Yes, I laughed at her, she cut her hair, after she left that day, I waited for a long time and didn't see her come back, but the color of her hair changed, I knew at that time that something happened..."

Looking at the girl with red eyes and tear-stained face, Zuo Mu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Even though he was very careful, there would still be accidental injuries. Zuo Mu knew it was not his fault, but he still blamed himself. Before he could say a word, the female ghost he had never looked at was caught by his samadhi. The real fire burned to death.

To him, it was just a female ghost, but to some people, it might be hope. He protected one person but hurt another. wronged soul...

"I'm sorry..." Zuo Mu didn't know what to say, he felt that he could get through, he wanted to say a lot, but those words were blocked in his throat, and after a long while, only a shallow "I'm sorry" was left.

The person he should really say sorry to has died. The samadhi real fire in the fairy world, it is impossible for any ghost to survive in such a fire.

Yan Shanshan was very sad, she couldn't help blaming Zuo Mu, but she blamed herself even more. With Xiao Chi's disappearance, she finally figured it out, but it was too late, Xiao Chi would never come again, the one who accompanied her through the last The female ghost who had a hard time falling in love disappeared just like that.

She was killed by herself... Whenever Yan Shanshan thinks this way, she can't help but blame herself.

Yan Shanshan looked at Zuo Mu, and her voice was very low, "Actually, she knows you exist. Xiaochi told me that there are high-level people stationed in J City, and all the big monsters detour. I didn't expect that person to be you..."

Speaking of which, Yan Shanshan raised her head, her eyes were as hot as flames, she grabbed Zuo Mu's sleeve and held it tightly, "Xiao Chi has been looking for you, do you know that Xiao Chi is an orphan, a teacher in the orphanage raped her, She also told the boy she liked, Xiaochi couldn't bear it, so she committed suicide, she died in the bathroom, she is gone, but the teacher is still alive, Xiaochi has always wanted to find that teacher through you, those innocent people Girls, those girls who died unjustly, girls who died unjustly like Xiaochi, you can help her, right!"

"You are an expert, you can definitely help her, right!" Yan Shanshan locked Zuo Mu's eyes tightly, "That teacher is a beast, living would be better than dying, and the dead would turn into ghosts just like Xiaochi. I haven't found that person for a long time, you are an expert, you must have a way to help them, right!"

Under such eyes, Zuo Mu couldn't say no, and Yan Shanshan didn't know Xiaochi's name. According to Xiaochi's saying that Yan Shanshan looked like her friend, it must be her friend's reincarnation. She had been dead for at least 20 years. The teacher is still alive, and he should be an old man in his 20s. Even if he is a fairy, the hope of finding this person is very slim, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But for some reason, Zuo Mu nodded, "I will help them, I promise you, find that person, and give those girls justice!"

"Thank you!" Hearing Zuo Mu's promise, Yan Shanshan finally couldn't help crying, she finally helped her friend fulfill an unfulfilled wish, Xiaochi, Xiaochi, I'm sorry...

Hearing Yan Shanshan's cry, everyone felt uncomfortable.

Zuo Mu walked over and rubbed Yan Shanshan's hair, "Don't cry, you are a good girl, you will be happy."

Yan Shanshan shook her head, "No, no more...Xiao Chi is dead...I..." She felt so guilty for Xiao Chi's death, Zuo Mu's words made her cry even harder.

She felt that she would never be happy in her life.

At this time, Zuo Mu's hand emitted a golden light, and the golden light quickly entered the top of Yan Shanshan's head, her vision gradually lost sight, and she slowly crawled down on the table.

Zuo Mu looked at the fainted Yan Shanshan, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I took this memory away, forget it, you will start over."

Yan Shanshan was sent away with a talisman, because of Zuo Mu's handprint, Yan Shanshan would forget Xiaochi and what happened today, but out of Zuo Mu's selfishness, Yan Shanshan would remember that she had broken up with Xu Lei.

Zuo Mu took away Yan Shanshan's memories, and put those memories of her and Xiaochi together, Zuo Mu himself didn't know why he did this, he was just afraid that one day he would forget that there was a female ghost named Xiaochi in this world, forget I once accidentally killed a ghost who died unjustly.

Zuo Mu's frustration is obvious to all. Dumplings and oranges don't know how to comfort Zuo Mu, and snacks are silent. Back in Zuo's house, Zuo Mu has been tinkering with magical instruments in the study. With his fingers flying like shuttles, he carved patterns on the peach wood , Sweat dripped slowly from Zuo Mu's forehead, Xiao Shi had been watching Zuo Mu's busy work outside the door, Zuo Mu had always been like this, once he was in the mood, he would be distracted by other things.

The stellar energy in the study made Xiao Shi feel uncomfortable, so he went into the study anyway, grabbed Zuo Mu's carving knife, shook his head, "What is this for?"

Zuo Mu didn't say a word, Xiao Shi raised his eyebrows, Zuo Mu had always let him go, and he didn't expect that he would comfort Zuo Mu, "That wasn't your fault in the first place."

Zuo Mu shook his head, "That's my spell..."

Xiao Shi smiled, he looked at Zuo Mu, not as arrogant as before, "You are wrong, Zuo Shangxian."

Zuo Mu remained silent, and Xiao Shi touched the carving knife: "Subduing demons and demons is your duty. If you see ghosts and worry a lot, then the victims must be ordinary people. That female ghost named Xiaochi is just a ghost." For example, you just happened to meet."

After talking about these little things, he stopped talking. He looked at Zuo Mu who was very focused. Zuo Mu put down the peach tree in his hand and sighed slightly. He raised his head, looked at Xiaoshi, and smiled, "Don't comfort me, I really don't whats the matter."

Xiaoshi frowned and stared, touched his stomach and said, "If you don't have anything to do, go and cook for me, I'm hungry!"

Zuo Mu nodded, jumped up from his chair, and gave a nondescript military salute: "Obey, my wife!" After saying that, he turned into a puff of smoke and ran away!

Xiao Shi was so angry that his hair stood on end, and it instantly turned into a golden light. The lingering voice in the study recalled: "Zuo Mu, you wait for me!"

The case of Ye Yiqing's ghost encounter has finally come to a conclusion. Although the result is somewhat unsatisfactory, it is good to have a beginning and an end. Ye Yiqing will still be her glamorous star. She is a public figure, and it is impossible for her to be like Xu Lei. ordinary people together.

After all, Xu Lei saw clearly who he liked and understood that he was not suitable for the entertainment industry. He changed his career. A student from the performing department of an art college changed his career to the IT industry, and achieved amazing results in a short period of time. It's just that he can no longer bring Yan Shanshan back.

He still loves to eat noodles, and he still likes to eat noodles at Zuojia noodle restaurant. Zuo Mu and the others have met several times. Gloating and saying they deserve it, some people are too attached to what they can’t get, and in the process of being attached, they often lose what they originally had. Not all repentance can get a satisfactory result.

Yan Shanshan didn't stop coming to Zuojia Noodle Restaurant because she broke up with Xu Lei, probably because she had a grudge, after all, she didn't work as hard as before. After half a year, Chengzi saw Yan Shanshan on the way from school. She made a new boyfriend, a new boyfriend It seems that they are lovers of sweets. The two swept up the dessert shops on the whole street. The two of them were arm in arm. The boy was holding a big bag, Yan Shanshan was only holding a cake, and she scooped a mouthful of cream with a small spoon and put it near the boy's mouth, waiting for the boy to open his mouth. , but quickly stuffed it into her mouth, Chengzi felt that sister Shanshan should be very happy now.

In this love contest, each of them lost, but after the setback, everyone grew up to varying degrees, and in a sense, they all won again.

After all, Zuo Mu was Zuo Mu, and he recovered after a while of being sad. He just regretted his accidental injury, but the matter itself, he did nothing wrong. In that case, the misunderstanding was instinctive, and he did nothing wrong.

However, in order to make up for his mistakes, Zuo Mu decided to find out that orphanage teacher with a human face and a beast heart. There are so many orphanages in China, it is not easy to find a teacher, but it is just looking for a needle in a haystack. There will be a good end, Zuo Mu doesn't need to search so seriously at all, Zuo Mu smiled and taught the two little guys a lesson.

Many years later, when Orange Dumpling grew up from Douding to a famous ghost fairy, I still remember what Zuo Mu said back then——

"People live in a high position and are used to looking down. Many times, they forget that they are under him. There are many ordinary people in dire straits. When we want to help, we find that there are many things that we are powerless to do. It is God. The gods of the world can't help everyone. When doing things, you must always try your best to do your best. The result is not good. What you need is the process. What have you learned and how much you have grown during this process? Be thorough, but be honest with yourself.”
