Mysterious world, I have special understanding

Chapter 28 Demons and People

There was a shrill scream in the icy room.

I saw that Ji Que's boxing was like a cannon, tearing the corpse-spotted old woman into various shapes, and the air was full of circulating energy.

These days, because of the frequent practice of Tai Chi to keep fit, Ji Que's true qi has become more and more condensed.

He knew that as long as it took time, he could reach the sequence of condensing Qi into Yuan that the old monk said, and entering the real Yuan realm of the three realms.

Well, at that time, I should be in the same realm as the old monk and the others, and not be too inferior.

Of course, the most direct change will be that he will become more capable and more durable, and he will have a little more confidence in resisting these inexplicable bad luck.

Really, he was just trying to help the old ladies go home today, but the old ladies turned into such a scary thing even if they corrupted people.

Damn unlucky.

"No!"

With a snap, the old woman's tattered body was slammed to the ground, and thick black blood came out of it.

Her eyes have lost focus and become hollow.

Her face changed accordingly, becoming a little younger, as if she had become another person.

At this moment, a little scarlet blood spilled from her neck, which was very conspicuous.

It didn't take long for Ji Que to find that her entire body had turned scarlet, as if she had fallen into a dazzling pool of blood.

Suddenly, this scarlet smeared, covering him and the house at once.

Then Ji Que found that he had come to another world.

The whole world exudes a faint red halo, and the picture looks like it has been painted with blood.

He saw a small courtyard, a woman was washing clothes, kneading her waist from time to time, looking very hard.

In the house next to him, a middle-aged scholar in his thirties was packing his luggage.

Looking at the woman's face, Ji Que suddenly remembered the old woman who had just changed.

Very similar, but looks much younger.

"Is this your memory?"

Ji Que suddenly remembered this alley, and it was estimated that it should be one of Sangshui County.

The middle-aged scholar was about to leave the house after packing his luggage. The woman held his hand reluctantly and said with tears in her eyes, "Lin'er, be careful on the road."

The scholar nodded, with an impatient look in his eyebrows, and said, "I see, mother, I'll pick you up when I'm safe."

After that, the scholar left, and his back disappeared into the alley.

From here, you can see the woman looking at the empty alley, secretly wiping her tears and smiling.

After that, the surrounding scene kept changing.

The woman stared at the entrance of the alley every day, and occasionally went out to ask someone for news, but there was no news.

Ji Que knew that she was waiting for her son, but unfortunately in the end, she only received a letter with more than ten taels of silver.

Naturally, there would be no good content in that letter. The woman might not be literate, or she might pretend to be invisible. Afterwards, she sat in the yard with the silver in her hand and muttered to herself, "This is what I, Lin Er, used to get married. The silver, I have to keep it for him."

"This is the money I used for Lin'er's marriage, I have to keep it for him."

Rumors about her son's unfilial piety came from time to time. The woman held a knife and scolded the people around her because she was jealous of her son's success and honor, while their sons and daughters were still just ugly mud legs, so they slandered her son like this .

It's a pity that no matter how fierce the woman scolded and denied the incident, sitting at the door of the house, her face was still aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her sanity began to become unclear.

After that, a person came to the courtyard.

Ji Que recognized the man at a glance.

Isn't this the scumbag who wanted to steal his countermeasures from before?

The rogue stole the money that the woman had hidden in the pillow, and when he was found, he ran away.

The woman chased after her desperately.

She staggered across the muddy streets, stepped on wet flagstones, and knocked over a stall on the side of the road. In the end, she fell to the side of the road, blood smeared on the ground.

She stared at the direction Poppy was leaving, like a dead fish stranded on the shore.

A few days later, the woman died on her bed.

It was the neighbor she scolded that buried her.

In the scarlet scene, you can see that the soil of the tomb moved, and a worm-like shadow crawled out in the moonlight.

That is the dead woman turned into a terrible thing.

She stared at the Poppy, and before Poppy entered this small courtyard, she stood in front of a blind old woman who had already died on the bed, and then got into the other's mouth like a worm, and merged with the other party.
After that, of course Poppi died, and the old lady continued to look for silver.

After a period of time, the red light receded like a tide, and the surroundings returned to their original appearance.

It was impossible to tell whether it was the blind old woman or the old woman's old body lying there, still not closing her eyes.

With her mouth open, she stared at Ji Que with vicious eyes.

Ji Que said with a bewildered expression: "So that money really belongs to you."

He didn't expect to have a share of the old woman's money from the money that Poppy had swindled with his backhand.

When the woman heard this, she suddenly became excited, and her mouth kept opening and closing.

"Why don't you tell me this earlier? I'll give it to you. If you don't tell me, how would I know you're not extorting?" Ji Que couldn't help but complain.

Old woman: "."

Ji Que squatted down and said, "Okay, I'll give you back your money and buy you a good coffin, and the rest will be buried with you, okay?"

The old woman, who was no longer in human form, nodded, and squeezed out two words from her throat - "Thank you.".

Ji Que thought for a while, and said, "You have also avenged that rude revenge. It's not good for others and yourself. You should leave early and give birth early."

The old woman struggled for a while, and squeezed her broken throat: "My Lin'er will be sad if she doesn't see me when she comes back."

Ji Que nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will leave a letter. If he comes back, he will definitely come to visit your grave."

The old woman twisted her neck, as if relieved, and said weakly, "Thank you."

Ji Que shook his head and said, "No, I will choose a reward."

Hearing this, the woman suddenly became excited, her cloudy eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, as if she was about to get up and kill someone.

"My, my everything belongs to my family Lin'er."

Ji Que raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Old lady, are you sure you want to speak to me in this tone? I'm a victim."

The woman seemed to remember some terrible memory, the fierce light in her eyes suddenly dissipated, became calm again, and squeezed out a sentence - "You can take whatever the son likes, I think you should turn your finger on me. interested in.".

As she said that, she twisted the ring finger of her right hand and continued, "The reason why I became like this is all due to it."

Ji Que didn't expect such hidden secrets, so he took off the wrench and said, "Okay, I want this. Well, it's up to you to do it yourself, or I'll do it."

The old woman was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "That's troublesome, sir. You don't have to give me the money before, it's useless after I die. In fact, I still have 20 taels of silver hidden at the foot of the bed in my house. If you don't mind it, just give it to me." Take it all."

"Don't leave it to your son?" Ji Que asked.

The old woman suddenly showed a bleak smile and said nothing.

She knew very well that her son would not come back.

She is literate, and she is very clear about the content of the letter, but her good son never wants to have anything to do with her anymore, and thinks that she is old and ugly and not in good health.

After that, she seemed to have figured it out, closed her eyes, and there was no more breath and no hostility.

Human obsessions are a very scary thing, they can turn people into demons, but once they are let go, the demons become human again.

Ji Que stroked the wooden stool with his palm, and the flames rose up immediately and landed on the worm-like body of the old woman.

The raging flames swallowed her, and at the same time drove away the strange coldness of the whole room, the whole room seemed to have returned from the underworld to the underworld.

Ji Que stood in front of the lonely flame, looking at the mottled wrench in his hand, he couldn't help sighing softly.

For a while, he didn't know what he was sighing.
