Chapter 78
I heard the word "snake spirit" two words, immediately have so a few points of the feeling of uncertainty, as if Ding Ding body at any time will come out a huge snake, in short, is a little worried, but look at his appearance is not so concerned, which only the heart of the worry to suppress down.
According to the situation at that time, the green snake to death, but also became part of Ding Ding, as if the two souls into one, and then died half.
I then understood why I saw the scene at that time when the green snake wrapped around his neck and hung on the tree of the human face. I originally thought that Ding Ding had died at the hands of the Snake Bone Woman, but I didn't realize that there was such a thing that happened before this. The straw man hanging on the tree should be counted as part of Tintin's death.
So when I asked my mom why Ding Ding died, she told me that people always die, and although she didn't specify Ding Ding's situation, it wasn't appropriate to say much about it at that time under those circumstances.
However, since the funeral was mentioned, then I had to nag Ding Ding a few more times, I still can't figure out the significance of this funeral, it's like putting me in a coffin for no reason and then burying me alive all over again. I have no idea what the point of doing this is. Now the only person who can solve this confusion of mine, besides my brother-in-law, is probably Ding Ding.
I told him my question, but Ding Ding didn't answer immediately, instead he suddenly fell silent.
I saw that this reaction of his was not right, but I did not understand why, I could only wait silently for his answer.
Ding Ding stayed for a long time, as if he was in deep thought, and finally took a deep breath, his expression became serious, saying Tan Xi, do you know what this funeral means?
I shook my head, I thought of countless possibilities, even at that time, I considered every word my mother said, even when she was buried, she re-gave the pendant to me and told me to wear this properly, and when I thought about it later, that tone of voice, it was as if she had counted on the fact that I wouldn't die.
I even thought that I would undergo some kind of mutation, as if I would suddenly turn into a monster or superman at some point, but first it seemed that it was time to attract ghosts and be abused. I'm still the same old unchanged.
Ding Ding's tone is rare heavy, he pulled me, said not you want this, in fact, after that funeral, a lot of things have changed, just this change is not very obvious, and no one to explain to you, so you do not understand what happened.
I listened to him talk more serious, the heart is actually more anxious, according to Ding Ding's temperament, let's say that I now suddenly grow a tail to I am able to accept. But this is serious, I feel that this topic is a little too heavy, reveal the mystery, I may not be able to accept for a moment.
Ding Ding sighed and said that in fact, this matter, the explanation is also very simple. Tan Xi, think about it, people die into the burial, what happens afterward?
I frowned doubtfully, said how, if before, that is, people died, all the troubles are gone, change now, the big deal is to become a ghost of the wrongdoers only.
Ding Ding said yes, people die as ghosts, ordinary people simply do not know their existence, can not see hear and touch. But your funeral, everything is reversed, the reality is the living to the dead burial, and then is the dead to the living funeral, everything is the opposite.
I spread my hands and said I still don t understand what you mean.
Ding Ding showed an expression of looking at a pig and glared at me, saying that the words of the second mouth woman were really right! Tan Xi you as a teammate is here to drag your feet! What I mean is that when a person dies and is buried, they become a ghost, and to the living, they almost become something that doesn't exist. And after you, a living person, are buried by a ghost, relative to those ghosts and monsters, you are dead, and of the same nature, they cannot see, hear or touch you. You then completely disappear from the world of ghosts and monsters!
I thought about it silently for a while, and probably understood what Ding Ding meant; his words meant that I was now quite literally a person that no ghost could see. That's what changed after that funeral.
But the reality was not like that at all, I was still constantly bumping into ghosts and running for my life, if they couldn't see me. Then how could I still be going through all this.
But Ding Ding also said, you didn't feel the change because you are really alive now, when you die, you really become a kind of existence that can't be found no matter what human ghosts are.
When I heard that, I was suddenly quite disappointed, I had already encountered this situation, when I came out of the mirror and became a living soul, no matter whether it was a human or a ghost, my brother-in-law couldn't see me, and the ghost car couldn't see me, and that kind of feeling was genuinely uncomfortable. And it's totally different from what I imagined, I really don't understand what's the point of me turning into this kind of special being, is it to persuade me to just go to my death, and then I'll be completely cut off from this world and these troubles?
But Tintin says otherwise, and that's just the worst kind of consideration. The premise of your mom doing this is that she wants you to live. Have you not realized that after that, the two women did not come to find you trouble, but there is a painted skin out, in order to win your trust, secretly help you once and for all.
When I think about it, although the funeral after a few times are all thrilling, but compared to the previous, basically are some of my own will be able to solve or even escape things. Xie Ning and the others came on strong at first, but after that it was as if they suddenly disappeared.
Ding Ding said that the focus of the funeral is not that you are buried alone, but that the blood perch is buried with you.
I said that this kind of ghostly thing, do not know where it was dug out, at best, and I was buried in the ground together, what difference can it make?
Ding Ding gave me a blank look, said, do you think the blood perforation is a very simple thing to recognize the owner, your mother told me, need to use their own blood warming at least ten years to be able to do! You have your mother's bloodline in your body, after she died, the Blood Purse will naturally recognize you as its master. But if you die, this blood purity will immediately change back to that kind of masterless state, whoever wants it, who can take it away. But now this blood perforation and you as one, accompanied by you after the burial, the changes that occurred in your body, the same also occurred in the blood perforation, so once you die, this blood perforation will disappear from the world, no one can find its existence.
I touched the pendant in front of my chest, my heart was a little bitter, by this time, I actually didn't want this thing at all, at first I took it just because she was my mom's relic, but then it led to too much trouble, if someone could accept it, I would have definitely given it away.
But mom did this, is almost this blood perch and I dead tied together, I do not understand why this thing is so important, even Ding Ding can not say a reason, but now it seems, my mom means, is that I want to let this thing to stay in the hand, so that no one has no way to snatch to take it.
I thought for a moment and asked Tintin, "What do you mean, is that if someone wants this blood perch, then they have to make sure I don't die?
Ding Ding nodded his head and took a long breath, saying My old lady, you finally sort of understand.
Once upon a time, Xie Ning also hated to eat me, but from the construction building, although the hands are still not merciful, but there is no intention to want my life. Lu Yao she …… is not also because of this, so she came to my side, hide the traces, but secretly do some tricks, because not all the ghosts and monsters want this blood peroxide, so every time I attracted, I am still prone to cause a lot of trouble to kill. Lu Yao she stayed by my side, as long as I could be sure that I wouldn't die, it was enough, and it seemed much easier to move.
If they wanted Bloodper, they had to make sure I was safe, so even if they were enemies, they were all of a sudden willed to death by my mom since the funeral. Tintin knew this, that's why at that time in the building, he dared to shoot arrows at me with impunity, because he understood that they needed me alive!
I asked Tintin again, even if that was the case, but why would they do all this extra stuff when they wanted the bloodper and could take it away if they could just make sure I was alive.
But Tintin said that since the funeral, the connection between the bloodper and me has strengthened quite a bit, the meaning of one is that it cannot be separated, the further the bloodper is from me, the less useful he is, and I will likewise become weaker and weaker. Before the funeral, as long as you kill me, the situation of recognition is lifted, this will not happen. But now it was different, now unless a group of them kidnapped me away, and one had to always beware of not having any other situation in the middle of the process, including something like me killing myself happening. Even if it's a ghost, trying to stop someone from living lightly isn't see easy, so Lu Yao and the others don't dare to act rashly.
Speaking of which, it sort of solved all the problems that had been bothering me during this time. I was more concerned about Ding Ding's situation after the funeral, if he was fine, why didn't he contact me, as well as Mrs. Nine's side, his house was burned down almost at the same time, I'm not sure if Ding Ding knew about this.
I just wanted to ask him, but Ding Ding spoke up first, saying Didn't you have any questions to ask just now?
I froze for a moment did not respond, thought for a moment, only to realize that it was Ding Ding his father's matter, this man, in my heart is really a person who has more puzzles than the ninth wife and my mother.
Anyway, now which problem priority is not much difference, I quickly picked up the phone from a cabinet, flipped out the old photo sent to me by Lin Tian, handed it to Ding Ding in front of me, pointing to Mrs. Nine and the man next to him and asked, look do you recognize this person?
Ding Ding took a look at a moment, suddenly "eek" a sound, pointing to the above nine Mrs. said, this is my mother ah, really much younger than now, do not pay attention to the words I did not see. This man …… is a little blurry, but it looks like my father.
I frowned, the mood is a bit gloomy, look at Ding Ding this way, should not have realized that I care about things, I asked him, are you sure that this man is your father?
Ding Ding looked at another moment, beeped and looked up at me, nodded, said certainly is, although my father died early, but I was a child ghost festival, also saw him back, these I did not tell you?
I heart thud, looks like, Ding Ding very firm his previous statement, but I do not figure out the heart always feel like a cat's claw, pointing to the photo of Ding Ding his father, said, after the funeral, I have seen this person!
Ding Ding froze for a moment, eyes wide open, said you will not see a ghost! My dad's ghost I have not seen for many years, where do you go to see.
I said I'm sure he's not a ghost! Ghosts don't change their appearance when they die, right?
Ding Ding nodded.
I said that's right, although this man's appearance has aged, but a decade or two earlier, it must be exactly the same as in the photo, and his legs and feet are not convenient, but I'm sure he's a human being! And since you also admit that the person in the photo is your dad, this means that your dad didn't die back then!
