Greed

There was a sound of things colliding in Xu Weijie's house, and someone inside was yelling and cursing. He Ping was a little worried about the situation inside, and soon saw the doorknob being turned open in a hurry, and then Dong Weijun and the man in the Chinese tunic suit came out in a hurry, it was overwhelming. out the door.The person brought by Dong Weijun showed a yellow talisman ring and tied it to the doorknob, quickly chanted a few incantations, and fled down the stairs. The elevator didn't even take off.

"What are you looking at, let's go home and sleep." Xing Jiuye walked out of the door as if nothing had happened. He looked as if he had just walked by. He Ping was at a loss when he saw it. In order to prevent He Ping from asking stupid questions, he reluctantly waited. Temperament explained: "Just now I went in to show off and scare them away, but they will come again."

"What the hell were you doing in there just now?"

"Greeting guests."

"It's best to say hello." He Ping didn't want to explore the ghost's methods, so Xing Jiuye snorted, raised his hand, and the door of Miss Xu's house opened automatically.

"If you're worried, I'll let you take a look before leaving."

He Ping looked at the dark room, swallowed his saliva and smiled back at him: "No need, I believe in your profession."

"Show me carefully." Xing Jiuye raised his eyebrows, picked up He Ping's collar with his bare hands, and brought him into the house.

In the blink of an eye, the room became very bright, and the sky was dusk and sunset outside the window. Xu Jiewei was wandering around the house in a light pink home dress, and then she leaned to the corner and began to mutter to herself: "Mom, I'm sorry for you, it's useless to be a mother. Hmmmm , I miss baby too. I’m sorry, Mommy will cheer up. Baby, Mommy misses you very much... Mommy loves you very much, really, believe me.”

That kind of picture made He Ping get goosebumps. Xing Jiuye looked back slightly at this time, and explained: "This is the message left in this space, it is the memory of this space, because the death and energy are still fresh, so it is easy to investigate."

"Are these phantoms?"

"No, they are all real memories. The memory shared by the owner and this space."

Xu Weijie walked into the bathroom in a daze, followed by He Ping and Xing Jiuye. The water in the bathroom kept overflowing, and she stepped into the bathtub to soak in it, and then took the kitchen knife to cut her wrists.He Ping shouted in fright: "Don't be impulsive!"

Xu Weijie didn't respond, the knife cut back and forth on the flesh. "Baby, you have to be good. Mommy is looking for you, so be good."

Xing Jiuye blocked He Ping and told him: "It's useless to stop, what has happened can never be changed. The story of going back to the past is just a delusion."

The picture suddenly dissipated and changed back to the empty bathroom, completing the memory loop of a death of Xu Weijie and the infant spirits.Xing Jiuye folded his hands on his chest, and said in a flat tone, "She cut her wrists and failed to commit suicide. She died by swallowing medicine in the end."

"Stupid..."

Xing Jiuye answered as if discussing something after dinner: "Fortunately, she didn't cut her wrists to death. The pain of cutting her wrists to death is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The success rate is also extremely low. Most of them are disabled for life."

He Ping glanced at him sideways and asked, "You know?"

"If you don't believe me, cut it and see for yourself."

He Ping narrowed his eyes and didn't want to continue to argue, so he asked him instead: "What are you showing Mr. Dong and the others?"

"It's nothing. I let Dong Weijun watch the picture of his wife and child eating him. I made a realistic image of the spider essence with a human head for them to accept. The mother spider and the spider child absorb him as nutrients. It's very creative, right?"

"...It's still possible to do this... It's not creative to copy what happened a while ago." He Ping exited the bathroom and mumbled.

"As for the image the mage sees, it's just my dead image."

He Ping fell silent. "Hey, how scary is your death? Please don't show it, I'm very timid."

"Hmph, I want to see that you are not qualified, waste." Xing Jiuye raised his voice and said: "The people above are so merciful, they insist on relying on me to recycle the waste."

"You, you evil ghost!" He Ping also has self-respect. Calling him a waste is like calling his mother a waste, and he has to refute. "You do so many bad things, it's worse than me, a trash who doesn't contribute much. No, I'm not a trash, I'm just an ordinary person."

Xing Jiuye turned his head to look at him, and said in a condescending manner with pity on purpose: "At least I know that my desires are endless, I am very greedy, at least I have self-knowledge. It is better than you, living blindly is like shit on the asphalt road It's just as pathetic. When the rain comes, you disperse, and when the sun shines, you die. You're worse than trash. The worst thing is that I have to serve my sentence with shit on my shoulders. Sigh."

"You, you... this mushroom on a rotten mop!" He Ping was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was so angry that he pointed at him with one hand, his heart was dry, but he couldn't think of the most offensive swear words.

Xing Jiuye froze, walked through the window expressionlessly to mid-air outside, and laughed loudly.What kind of shiitake mushrooms on a rotten mop, I didn't expect He Ping to be quite creative in cursing people, although he has no offensive power.

"Go away." Xu Weijie's voice came from the bedroom.

He Ping thought that Xing Jiuye had been scolded and ran away, but Xu Weijie was frightened when he wanted to continue scolding. The latter turned and walked to the bedroom, and He Ping followed curiously.

Xu Weijie backed away tremblingly and weakly, and became more and more hysterical to scream: "Go away, go away! You are not allowed to hurt my babies. Go away, go away! Go away, go away, go away, Go away, go away, go away!" The children started crying, and He Ping suddenly had severe tinnitus. Like Dong Weijun, he fled to the apartment and stopped under a street lamp to vomit.

Xing Jiuye appeared out of nowhere again, and said, "I'll go down below to apply for an ultimatum. Wu Ming will stay at your house for a week. After all, this case has to go through a process."

"Ouch, cough cough. What hook?" He Ping was at a loss, all he knew was thickening.

Xing Jiuye looked at He Ping, whose complexion was getting worse and worse, and then explained to him after a pause: "It's the arrest ticket you talked about in Yangjian. It's best for babies to go where they should go early. As for Xu Weijie, because the suicide was not dealt with immediately, I'm afraid it will become a ground bondage, if the opportunity comes, let her fill the gap of the foundation master, there is no chance."

"Ah, I understand that. Earthbound Spirit, right? But no, you can find a way to help her. If she stays there all the time, Wu Ming will come and help me."

"...the seven souls have different sayings in different fields. One of them is called Shigou, which controls temperament, and is the most persistent. When I died, those souls fell in the house and were not immediately resolved, but now the souls have almost penetrated."

"Mother and child are separated, really—"

Xing Jiuye squeezed He Ping's lips, and warned in a cold voice: "Shut up. Remember, no matter what you are facing, don't reveal your feelings without authorization. It is best not to have a single thought. If you say that kind of thing now, the other party will will count on you."

He Ping was dumbfounded, and Xing Jiuye felt that his frightened appearance was funny, so he calmed down and told him: "I'm not here these two days, you go get the fairy pillow with Chen Chu."

"What the hell is that?"

"It's not a ghost, it's a pillow. After you get it, ask Chen Chu for a villain to put Dong Weijun's name on it, and turn the pillow upside down to put the villain, so that Dong Weijun will wander around every night and not care about Xu Weijie's affairs."

"Isn't it me who can be so spoofed?"

Xing Jiuye smiled slightly, showing that harmless fake fairy look again. "Trust me in my profession. I'll leave the affairs of the world to you, and I'll go down for a while."

It was early in the morning after the work was assigned, and He Ping stood alone in the street.The air was cool after the rain, but he felt very uncomfortable, so he went to lead the motorcycle and ride back to his old apartment with a sullen face and courage.

The price of a high salary is unbearable, but it is also to accumulate money so as not to cause trouble to relatives and friends. Moreover, this job is exciting and can accumulate a lot of good topics.He Ping began to fantasize about becoming a best-selling author of supernatural stories in the future, hypnotizing himself to be optimistic.

I thought it was the ghost month, maybe I would bump into other ghosts, but it was strange to say that I didn't meet half of Piao Piao on the road.He Ping laughed secretly: "Just say that you don't need to scare yourself. I'm not the kind of person who is naturally inspired. It's purely a coincidence that I ran into that. Tsk tsk, I think I'll go to the temple and pray for a peace talisman, huh."

As soon as the green light came on, He Ping rode over dumbfoundedly with a smile and narrowed his eyes, completely unaware that those spirit bodies were actually there, but he didn't pay attention along the way.They gather between telephone poles, in the shadows behind street lights, in street trees, under manhole covers, in the shadows of traffic lights covered by branches...

The world is full of ghosts, how could they not exist, they might be more than people.

Chuan Jinping sat in the taxi and yawned, complaining: "I must ask Chen Chu to calculate the overtime pay."

The girl will roll her eyes impatiently, and doesn't plan to talk to the old man.

"I still don't see any merit in that bastard. Is it okay to put him with the evil sorcerer?"

The women's sports general followed He Ping far away in a taxi, thinking: "I don't know. 』

"Many people above should have colluded with Xing Jiuye. Otherwise, how could he stay in Yangjian to serve his sentence?"

"I think Xing Jiuye might want to go straight to hell more than bringing those half-baked rookies."

"Really? He Ping is quite cute after a long time. Some fat and dull, Guzhui Guzhui."

"It's like a weak chicken." She added: "Are we two short-term observers to observe the growth of weak chickens? Oh, I really don't want to be on the same level as that evil spirit. I'm going to apply for a secondment. It's disgusting to work with an old man. "

The land was wronged and muttered: "I only want to mourn when I work with a man and a woman."

"Huh?" The female athlete stared at him, and he immediately fell silent, then shifted his focus and said, "Wow, that He Ping is really crazy, he didn't even notice that we were so close. Ahaha, ahaha, ah Ha ha ha ha……"

He Ping followed Xing Jiuye's instructions to ask for Youxian Pillow. Chen Chu showed a professional smile, put on an elder's posture and said, "Heh, you know such a small skill." Although he asked He Ping to beware of Xing Jiuye, he still gave the Youxian Pillow to He Ping, don't say anything more.

The so-called Youxian pillow is just a piece of charred black wood inlaid with clear jade, and the wood has a faint fragrance.After He Ping arranged the doll, he hid it in the corner of the bed, and hid it with a pile of books.

Wu Ming bought sand tea and squid soup after get off work and came back to eat. The two of them turned on the TV to watch a football game. He suddenly expressed his feelings and said, "I feel like I went back to the life of living and renting a house together in college."

He Ping glanced at him coldly, and complained: "Yeah, yeah, I miss you always bringing back girls from nightclubs and telling me to get away and sleep, beast."

"Why are you so fussy?"

"Baa fart, big man don't speak in a weird way, it's disgusting." He Ping waved his hands in disgust, and retreated to the end of the bed with the leftover squid soup to watch the game from a distance like chasing flies. "Damn, a goal!"

"Oh shit, shit, really, it's a game." The two men were excitedly "bad" and "bad" in the house, and an old grandma from the apartment downstairs scolded: "Don't quarrel. ──! Damn child!”

Wu Ming was dumbfounded: "Wow, there is a super vicious grandma living downstairs in your house?"

He Ping explained with a dry smile: "She is not in good health, and it is natural to have a bad temper. It was you who caused me to quarrel with the elderly."

"Drag me again."

"If you're not happy, get out and go back to your house."

"Uh." Wu Ming emphasized cheekily, "You said I could stay for a week. It's rare for me to come to bed today after finishing work." After he finished speaking, he grabbed He Ping's sofa. Cover your belly with a blanket.

He Ping ignored him, turned on his laptop and began typing the stories he had sorted out today.

There is a file of inspiration in the file folder. He copied one of them into a blank file and started writing. It was about something he had dreamed about before, and it was about the boring life of a ghost in hell.

Ever since he sealed the ball of light into his ribs, he pulled out his ribs to play with.Since new ribs had grown in his body, this extra bone became like a toy, whenever there was light, he would intercept the light and seal it in.

Something like a bud sprouted from that bone, and then from the sprouted bone sprouts sprouted fine tissue that piled up like snowflakes.He would pick it up to observe when he was bored, and later, on a whim, he tore off the flesh and blood on his chest and wrapped it on the bones, so he slowly increased his interest, paying attention to how the light penetrated into his own flesh and blood, and how to generate another thing.Those who have their essence and blood will give birth to fetuses, and that thing gradually has its own fetal movement.

One day, there was a lively sound from a distance, and the sound of gongs and drums was loud.The gong from Baigushan made a circle in the air casually, and waited and watched the source of the excitement. It seemed that a certain great god had descended. They were celebrating something, anyway, it was either someone's birthday or a promotion.

When he came back to his senses, the fetal animal had a human form, it was a childish boy, he was naked, sitting behind him and looking at him innocently.The boy raised his white hand towards him, but the arm melted from the elbow, and the fallen part was quickly eaten away by insects. He watched the insects eating his severed limbs in a daze, and that made him laugh.

"I'll mend it for you again." He gently picked up the boy's severed limb, and tore off the skin on his arm to cover the boy's exposed bones.

The boy frowned, and asked in a naive tone: "Does it not hurt?"

"It hurts. But things on my body grow very quickly. I'm different from ordinary ghosts. It doesn't matter."

"Yeah. But it hurts."

"Pain is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Who are you?"

He suddenly calmed down, staring at the young man's expression full of curiosity and doubt.Because he has always been the only one on this towering bone mountain, and other people will not come to deal with him unless they have something to do, but he hasn't thought about his own business for too long.

It doesn't make sense who he is, but the boy's question just now made him realize that things are starting to be a little different again, as if he asked a question on a blank sheet of paper, waiting to be answered.

"Where do I come from?"

He responded coldly: "You are something I made up at random."

"What is it made of?"

"One of my bones and flesh."

"Then I'm you?"

"Of course not. You don't have a soul, but I'm too boring, so...slow down." He put one hand into the middle of the boy's eyebrows, fixed his eyes on his eyes, as if he could see through something, and sneered: "It's really true. Born a soul. It's too bad, I just wanted to play for fun, but I actually made this kind of thing... I will destroy you before you are discovered."

He dragged the boy to him, strangled his neck with one hand, but the boy struggled slightly, not because he realized that he was about to die, but because he was uncomfortable being held.The boy imitated his faint accent and snorted softly: "Let go of me. I feel uncomfortable, let go."

魙 let go.

He has never been able to erase the soul that has been born, because the bright part of the boy does not belong to him, it is only his malicious jokes that have brought about this result.

Although it is not impossible according to his ability, there is no reason to let the boy exist.He let the young man go, but his existence was soon discovered. Since he had no past and previous lives, he skipped the judgment of the ten palaces and entered reincarnation directly.As for the fate of the scorpion, no one knows.

Although he let go at that time, he still missed the young man in his heart. He began to think about where he would go, and then he found that he was tired of staying in Baigu Mountain.Perhaps, Mou followed the young man and pursued aimlessly, but Mou hadn't left hell for too long. For the first time, he felt that he was lost in the darkness, because he wanted to find the light that he once held in his palm.

He Ping typed the last paragraph, rubbed his eyes and lay back on the bed.This is a short story, and the story can't be completed, at most it can be regarded as a few scattered fragments.He saved them in the same folder and turned off the computer, feeling a strange feeling in his heart, sore and soft, as if he was distressed by something.

He Ping heard Wu Ming snoring again. Although he was used to it, he felt insomnia for some reason tonight, so he simply got up and took a shower. After checking the Youxian Pillow and the little doll, thinking of the recent experience made him feel hairy again, and he was even more sober and difficult. Sleeping, I couldn't help but analyze the matter of Xing Jiuye, the ghost.

Speaking of which, Xing Jiuye doesn't look like a ghost, he looks like a human being and is so handsome that he has no conscience, but he has a bad mouth, arrogant attitude, defiant, pretending when necessary, snobbish eyes... most of Xing Jiuye has the shortcomings in human nature, so He Ping thinks Facing him wasn't like hitting a ghost.Leaving aside those terrible spells, tricks and ghosts, Xing Jiuye is just a villain.

Well, especially the fact that it flickers and disappears is the most ghost-like.

"He Ping."

"Oh!" He Ping covered his mouth to cover his cry, and stared at the tall man, Xing Jiuye, who was facing the ceiling parallel to him.

"I got the arrest ticket. Go directly to deal with it."

He Ping asked in a breathy tone, "So fast? It's only been less than a day."

"The Hades responsible for issuing the arrest ticket just took advantage of me, saving a lot of time." Xing Jiuye suddenly turned cold: "I don't need to explain to you, just shut up and obey my orders."

He Ping was dissatisfied with his domineering, and retorted: "Since you have a warrant, you can go. I can't help you with ghost matters."

"Okay." Xing Jiuye answered bluntly, but sneered coldly: "Then I'll invite all the ghosts in the cemetery to your party."

"If you dare to do this, I will sue Chen Chu."

"Go. Know what it means to die before your ambition is fulfilled."

"Threat me again!"

"Oh, I'm just reminding you. Don't forget what I did before I was alive. If you are rude to me again, I will drive you crazy, and then you will blame it on the unlucky ghost." He said and glanced at Wu Ming.

He Ping was annoyed, and asked in a low voice: "Xing Jiuye, you are not afraid of retribution."

"Hahahaha, bring retribution to me." Xing Jiuye folded his hands on his chest, floating in the sky with a contemptuous smile, "It's just for fun, I don't care about karma."

"you……"

"It's better to use Wu Ming as a knife. Make Wu Ming unemployed first, and then take away a soul to drive him into madness. Let's rehearse how to play you to death."

He Ping was unwilling to bow his head, but instinctively replied with a soft smile, "Don't be like this, why bother tearing your face, Brother Xing."

He asked coldly, "Go out soon."

He Ping reluctantly responded, and then felt a strong sense of drowsiness, and his spiritual consciousness was ripped out of his body by Xing Jiuye.He Ping was also surprised when he saw Xing Jiuye Lingkong gesticulating a spell in front of him, and a faint ray of light circled the sleeping body and disappeared.

"This is a technique to protect your body from the invasion of external spirits. Let you experience the out-of-body experience. Let's go." After Xing Jiuye finished speaking, he dragged He Ping's soul to Xu Weijie's home.

He Ping didn't feel that he was moving, but the whole city moved a long way before his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at Xu Weijie's house. Xing Jiuye stabbed through the door. He Ping stared at the door hesitantly. Xing Jiuye called him impatiently inside: " Come in." Then he closed his eyes and learned to walk through the door, and then plunged into the cold and hard object.

"You idiot." He Ping looked up and found that Xing Jiuye was staring at him displeased, just because he bumped his head into Xing Jiuye's chest.He Ping backed away in embarrassment, unable to say a word of apology, but fortunately Xing Jiuye didn't bother with his apology at all and turned to work.

Xing Jiuye ignored Xu Weijie's cries and begging, put all the children into her palm prints, took out a black and yellow talisman and sealed Xu Weijie into her bedroom, turned her head and said to the stunned He Ping, "It's over. Let's go."

"Wait...why don't you take Xu Weijie away too, she just doesn't want to be separated from the child."

"You don't understand how deep and difficult Po's obsession is, not to mention that suicide is her karma and grievance. Taking the baby spirit to report to the underworld can eliminate some of the karma, and the rest is up to her." Xing Jiuye paused slightly, To myself: "Why do I explain so much?"

"What if Dong Weijun brings the mage again to say that he wants to destroy Miss Xu?"

Xing Jiuye showed an irrelevant smile, and replied to him: "Dong Weijun hasn't done this yet, if he really comes, then you will have another business to do. As for me, I also have things to pass the time, Great."

"Good mother, do you have a conscience, do you have compassion! You, you have been a human being, at least you should have some humanity!"

Xing Jiuye rubbed the palms of the ghosts and smiled slyly: "When I was a human being, I was several times worse than I am now. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Chu."

"I don't want to be your assistant. I want to change, I despise you." He Ping stretched out his index finger and compared himself with the middle finger, then inserted it in the direction of Xing Jiuye, and declared again: "I despise you, trash! You and Dong Weijun are the same kind .”

"Thanks for the compliment. I'm too lazy to chat with shit, I'm going to send these kids to receive rewards, hehe."

Xing Jiuye left He Ping and went to the underworld to collect the money. He Ping stomped his feet and cursed in anger. He waved his hand and found that he couldn't touch anything. Remembering that he was still in a spiritual state, he shouted in embarrassment: "Hey you scum, you scum, I How are you going back to the apartment?"

No one responded, only ghosts outside the window, He Ping was so frightened that he fled to the street, running and shouting.

"Xiao Nianzai." A middle-aged gentleman wearing a uniform called He Ping, He Ping looked at him with a face of horror, and couldn't help sobbing in fright, "Abbot, what's the matter?"

"If you want to go back, make a fist with your right hand, put your index finger and little finger in front of your eyes, stamp your right foot and say 'Dun', and just think about where you want to go." Land Lord was very helpless, no one could possess him, and He Ping couldn't recognize himself , but he didn't bother to explain, so He Ping ran away in a hurry.

He Ping, who had just returned to the apartment, bounced up like a shrimp and sat up straight, angrily cursing: "Wow! Do it!" Looking back, Wu Ming was still sleeping as if he was dead, but his snoring was still loud.

On the other side of the underworld, Xing Jiuye was followed by a group of children and a few animal spirits.Probably because he wanted to be reincarnated, he was crazy, and whenever he had a chance, all spirits tried to catch him. He didn't bother to sort out the children, so he led those children to the blood pool area that specially collects infant spirits. Not far away, there were some children lined up like penguins. Then the ghosts in charge of the district used special tools to drive them to the pool to soak in batches.

"Uncle, what about mom?"

"Is mom coming?"

"I want Mommy."

"Brother, is Mommy coming?"

"Mom. Mom. Mommy."

Xing Jiuye replied indifferently: "When you have enough bath here, you will see your mother."

Several brothers and sisters held hands, smiled innocently and lively, and thanked Xing Jiuye.

"Thank you brother."

"Thank you uncle."

"Wait here for mom."

He watched the children indifferently sinking in the pool of blood, collected the money from the relevant department, walked to a small mini temple nearby, and put the money at the entrance of the temple.

As soon as Xing Jiuye left, the temple door opened, and a palm-sized monk walked out to collect the money, and said with a smile: "It's not easy, if you want to give me money to take care of the children, just say so. Just throw the money away without saying a word." Let's go, there is no way to do things so casually."

He Ping went to complain to Chen Chu early the next morning. Instead of being surprised, Chen Chu couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head and sighed for a long time before he said to him, "It seems that Xing Jiuye takes good care of you."

"Where does he take care of me, he wants me to die, okay?"

"Infant Spirit was going to find a way to take it away first, and he did the right thing. Although his attitude was a bit off."

He Ping strongly emphasized: "It's not bad, it's very bad, super invincible bad. He keeps threatening me, Brother Chen, can you help me change my position, I don't want to work with him."

Chen Chu looked troubled. "This is unlikely. This is an arrangement from above, and it has its own reasons. Also, Xu Weijie died because of an infant spirit. The karma she created is extremely deep, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. This is work, just do your job. Xing Jiuye knows exactly what to do, so you can trust him in this regard."

He Ping's face looked like he had swallowed a catty of feces, and he forcibly held back his complaints, but he couldn't help secretly annoyed at Chen Chu's contradiction, asking him to beware of Xing Jiuye at once, and asking him to trust him at the same time, what is going on!He just wants that high salary and extra transportation expenses!

"He Ping, I have a job." Xing Jiuye silently appeared behind He Ping, and He Ping felt like he fell into a field of shit.

To add insult to injury, Chen Chu lightly waved goodbye: "Come on, work hard, have a good journey."

As soon as the pair of treasures left, Chen Chu made another cup of tea and said to himself, "If you do evil, you will receive your own karma. He Ping, He Ping, you are a person without blessings. Do more good deeds. Fortunately, you also There is no karma. Everything starts from zero, and the soul with no past and present lives will start from zero... The cause of Xingjiu night seeding is you, just like your dream and writing."
