piecing together the soul

Chapter 13 Overhearing the Conversation of Two Talkatives

I hate this situation the most!Why don't I move?Anyway, this is at Xiao Han's house, Brother Xiu and Xiao Han are both here, what am I afraid of?So Brother Xiu walked forward and I followed behind.Walking through the living room, I found that Brother Xiu had disappeared.

Where did he go?
It was almost twelve o'clock at this moment, the room was empty and dark, and it was a strange place. Although I said there was nothing to be afraid of, I still felt chills on my back. I always felt that there was something behind me, but I didn't dare to look back.Thinking of this, I can't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, I heard some movement in Xiaohan's room. Is that what Brother Xiu was talking about?

I tiptoed over, and the hairs on my body stood up more and more as I walked there!It's not me scaring myself, it's definitely because the atmosphere here is wrong, there must be something around!I can feel it, I just can't see it!

As he approached Master Xu's door, he felt a cool air coming from the door.I took the courage to hold the doorknob and planned to open the door and go in. Shit!Is this the door I closed with my own hands?When I touched the handle it felt like my hand was frozen!There was also a gust of wind behind me, which made my lower back feel cold.

"I'm not trying to hide Qingluan."

It's Master Xu's voice!

Hearing his calm and clear voice, I thought there was no danger, and my tense spirit finally relaxed.

"I want to hide it from you." Xiao Han continued, her Mandarin was very standard, and her tone sounded more distracted than usual.

"Why did you lie to me?"

It's Brother Xiu!
Since the two of them were talking, it seemed that there was no danger.

I gently removed my hand from the doorknob and put my ear against the crack of the door.

Xiao Han didn't speak, Brother Xiu went on to say, "Well, I'll tell you, and you tell me too. Is it fair?"

"I have nothing to know." Xiao Han said, "Where's Qingluan?"

"I said I heard some movement and told her not to move, she should lie there."

Hearing Xiao Han chuckle twice, he said, "Then I will tell the truth. I know what you want to tell me."

"what?"

"That resentful spirit." Xiao Han said, "the resentful spirit has no mind and is unreasonable. How could you give him an hour to say something? So, he must have wanted to take Qingluan's life at that time, and you fought hard to kill him." I tried my best to knock him apart and save Qingluan."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Xiao Han continued, "Although you've been a ghost for so many years, you don't necessarily know more about life and death than I do. Don't fool me with the way you lied to Qingluan."

Brother Xiu sighed: "Actually, I thought you were proficient in this way, but why do you know so much?"

Xiao Han said, "Tell me first why you lied to Qingluan."

"I said, so you told me?"

Xiao Han didn't speak, she probably nodded in response.Because Brother Xiu went on to say: "I'm afraid to scare her. Although she said that she is brave, she is indeed bolder than ordinary people, but if she really knew that she almost became that kind of vengeful spirit, she might be too scared now* *."

snort!You underestimate me!I almost opened the door and went in to refute him, but thinking that Xiao Han still had nothing to say, I held back and continued to eavesdrop.

"However, you are an ordinary soul, and you are head-to-head with a resentful spirit, have you never thought that you will really lose your soul because of saving her?"

Hearing this, I was startled, remembering that day Brother Xiu called me hysterically: "Stop!" Immediately afterwards, a strong light flashed past me and exploded in front of me!There was no sound at all!Could it be that the light that exploded was Brother Xiu's soul?In order to save me, he almost lost his wits?
In the room, Brother Xiu said: "I didn't think about it that much at the time, but fortunately I finally gathered together, before that wraith gathered."

I see!Brother Xiu said to leave before twelve o'clock because he felt that the wraith would regroup at twelve o'clock!Yes, after returning to the dormitory building, Brother Xiu was still trembling in that direction, it must be because of the fear of that wraith!Because I almost lost my mind before, subconscious fear!

If so, that night was really thrilling!Thinking of this makes my scalp tingle.

Master Xu asked again: "Then what if we really can't get back together?"

"Looking back, let's just let go," Brother Xiu said, "She hasn't lived a lifetime yet, but I've stayed in this world for so many years."

Brother Xiu's words are really praiseworthy, much more free and easy than I imagined!Maybe he was free and easy enough, but I just didn't realize it.And for some reason, after hearing this, I felt a warm current in my heart.

Yes, that's the feeling, the feeling of being protected.elder brother……

"Why do you have clothes?" Xiao Han said suddenly.

My thoughts were pulled back by Xiaohan's sudden words.He said clothes?It must be the white dress!Sure enough, I was not mistaken!
"Is there?" Brother Xiu himself was also surprised, "It will be gone in a while. I have wanted to reincarnate for so many years, and now I finally have the opportunity. How can I have nostalgia for this world."

The two were silent for a while, and Brother Xiu suddenly said, "I've finished talking, it's your turn."

"say what?"

Brother Xiu said: "Don't try to play tricks, you just promised me."

Xiao Han seemed to ponder for a while, and said, "Then I'll tell the truth...I really want to break you up."

Xiaohan's voice was colder than ever before, and I was in a cold sweat hearing it, and the warm feeling just now was extinguished.Brother Xiu must be very scared too.

There was another silence, Brother Xiu said: "You really have this ability?"

Xiao Han said with a smile: "Of course, there are many people with yin and yang eyes in my family, so my ancestors have dealt with the dead and the spirits for generations. Originally, they were just morticians. Later, in the Qing Dynasty, the eldest in the family was a coworker. An autopsy revealed that he was haunted by an evil spirit, and died within a few days. When he died, his body was black and black, his face was hideous, and he was extremely miserable. The second child was changed to head the house. The second child wanted to avenge his elder brother, and he searched for an expert everywhere. The cultivation of spiritual power is quite high, and I can communicate with ghosts like you, and I also learned the method of breaking up the soul."

Xu Shi was surprised when he heard that, Brother Xiu only asked in a low voice: "What happened later? Did you get revenge?"

"No," Xiaohan sighed, "that evil spirit hid somewhere to harm people, and it was never found. But this second great-grandfather also helped many people because of his acquired skills, so he also It has been passed down from generation to generation. There were also tomb robbers in the family during the war, but later it was said that it was too damaging to the morality, so let it go, and more people still do some rituals to save the souls of the dead. It is said that it is a salvation, but it is just to persuade good ghosts to pass away and reincarnate. , beat the evil spirits out of their wits."

I breathed a sigh of relief when Master Xu said, "Persuading good ghosts to pass away and reincarnate". Before he said Brother Xiu was a good ghost with no clothes on. It seems that he won't really break Brother Xiu up.

"Why do you want to break me up?"

"I first discovered something strange about Qingluan," Xiao Han continued, "Even if it's a good ghost, it's not good for the living to hang around all the time, and Qingluan and I have such a good relationship. What kind of ghost is haunting her, I must break up this ghost."

"Then why don't you make a move?"

"First, you are a ghost with no clothes on, which means that you have no attachment to the world, so I know you won't pester her for too long," Xiaohan said politely, "Second, it's because of the time when you eat at night. Speaking of that wraith, I know you will protect Qingluan. As for the third, your appearance is really hard to let go."

I almost burst out laughing when I heard the last reason.

Brother Xiu seemed not to have heard that sentence, and said, "Then you're not going to break me up?"

"I plan to help Qingluan find your bones and help you reincarnate." Xiao Han said, "With Qingluan's character, if I promise you, I will never leave it alone. You won't be the only one with her soul, and you won't be the only one."

"That's right." Brother Xiu actually agreed very much, "I alone may not be able to protect her well. If I really meet someone who is stronger than me, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight if I try my best. It's better for you to follow."

"It's not just Qingluan," Xiaohan said, "I don't want anything to happen to you either. After wandering around the world for so long, it's really rare that you haven't had any evil thoughts in your heart."

Brother Xiu doesn't think this is disgusting?Why did I get goosebumps all over my body?

"Actually, it's not that I haven't had evil thoughts." Hearing brother Xiu's confiding tone, I was really dissatisfied.

"When?"

"When I was killed just now." Brother Xiu smiled wryly, "Being assassinated by enemies, wouldn't anyone be reconciled to it? I thought at the time, since I'm dead, I'm going to turn into a ghost to find enemies and take their lives! "

"But in the end you didn't do that."

"Well...it's her."

"Your wife?" Xiao Han guessed the same as me.

Brother Xiu still smiled: "Well, it's her. She came to my house to visit me with her child behind her family's back. She also brought the money she had saved privately and gave it to my mother. She advised my mother to be more careful. , and also persuaded me to my spirit seat, telling me not to resent and let me die as soon as possible. She said when will the retribution be due, and she said that she hoped that she would meet me again when she was reincarnated, and then she would definitely marry me. "

"She didn't marry you?"

"No," Brother Xiu said, "Because of this, I never recognized her as my wife. It was Qingluan who scolded me and said, 'She has already given birth to you, yet you still don't consider her your wife. '."

"You two are in love, is it a barrier at home?"

"Yes, her family is an old bannerman who lived outside the customs. It was only when her grandfather moved into the capital that we had the chance to get acquainted." Brother Xiu sighed, "Although the Qing Dynasty perished later, the Qing Dynasty's banner is full of people. People still abide by the old rules, and marrying a daughter should still be of the same family. So..."

Brother Xiu didn't continue.Even through the door, I can still hear his regret, nostalgia and helplessness.Suddenly I felt that he actually loved his wife very much. It seemed a bit too much for me to scold him so hard.

I don't know when it started, but I felt a gust of cool wind blowing from my lower back.Because the back of Mr. Xu's house is facing the kitchen, and he has the habit of not closing the kitchen window. I guess the window is open again, and it is common for wind to blow in the middle of the night.

I was about to turn around and close the window when I suddenly heard Master Xu say, "Why are you missing your clothes again?"

Brother Xiu was much calmer: "I'll just say, I'll be gone in a while. It's strange, I've seen red, blue and black, but I haven't seen white. You know white clothes Does your ghost have any obsessions?"

In addition to what he said before, Master Xu, I think this should be the case.Ghosts have no clothes when they first die, but if they have obsessions and do not want to be reincarnated, clothes may appear, which is like a kind of bondage, binding him in the world.According to different obsessions, there will be clothes of different colors, just like Brother Xiu said, wraiths will wear blue clothes, ghosts will wear red clothes, and evil ghosts will wear black clothes.

What is the obsession with the white one?I suddenly looked forward to Master Xu's answer.

Master Xu seemed to think about it for a while, and said, "I don't really know what white is. I only know that the lighter the color, the better."

"I thought you would know." Brother Xiu was very disappointed, and so was I.

I only heard brother Xiu continue to say: "You should go to bed earlier, let me tell you, I'm going to the Forbidden City tomorrow."

"What?" Xiao Han was very surprised.

I snicker.But listening to what they said, it should be over. In order to prevent being discovered, I'd better leave quickly!
So, I turned around slightly, and walked slowly and reassuringly towards my room step by step, for fear of being heard by them, all previous efforts would be wasted.

There was still a gust of cool wind hitting the lower back.Damn, is it because my pajamas are too short and my waist is exposed?I touched my lower back with my backhand.No, the clothes are well covered around the waist.But the wind is too cold, as if blowing directly on my bones!
No, I still have to close the windows, the cool wind blows all night, even if I don't catch a cold if I sleep in the south, Xiao Han will definitely catch a cold.Thinking of this, I made a back turn and went to the kitchen.

Because of the dim light, I always looked down at the road, so I didn't look up immediately when I turned around.But after I turned around, I felt that I couldn't see the road clearly even with my head down, as if there was no light at all.

I looked up subconsciously—God!What is this blocking the light?Is this a person?wrong!It's a ghost!It must be a ghost!He is wearing a black robe!I can't even see my face!Could it be that he was blowing the wind on my back just now?
