Chapter 152.
The two words come that came out of his mouth, I could hear them all clearly. Or should say, after experiencing so say things, these two words almost have been printed in the bottom of my heart, into an indelible memory, but I seem to be unconvinced general, looking at him, still repeated, said what is your name.
The little ghost of the previous kind of talk of the momentum is suddenly gone, he seems to be speechless in general, open his mouth, the light in his eyes flashed darkly, but don't look away.
I slowly stood up from the ground, walked to him in front, both hands respectively grabbed his shoulders, shook him hard, said you don't fucking not open ah, you just said your name is changeless? Is that name just a coincidence, or does it mean something else!
The little ghost was like a doll letting me shake him, he didn't dare to look at me until he finally seemed to be unable to stand it anymore, then he opened his mouth and said, yes! I am called changeless, that is, the changeless of ghost messenger, this is my name, also my father's name, my family's ancestors are this name!
I said that's impossible, in this day and age, no one would use those two words as a name.
His expression was unusually resolute, as if he wanted to make all the secrets clear with these few words, said, I was not considered good in this world, you simply can't find any information about me, I don't have a household registration data, no residence, except for a few of you, I don't even have people I know, even my own ID card, are I moved to barely get one, but unfortunately, the information on it, are all fake, that is to say, I don't know anyone. Unfortunately, the information on it is also fake, that is to say, even if I die suddenly, no one will know that there is still such a person as me in the world.
I didn't understand what he meant for a while, froze and looked at him for a long time, only then was not sure to ask him, said could it be that from the beginning when I met you, is ready to deliberately close to me?……
The little ghost held his breath, his face was a little red, and he paused for a moment before saying, no! I know you won't believe me, but there is really the so-called coincidence in this world, I never thought I would meet you, and I never thought so many things would happen after meeting you!
When it comes to the word coincidence, I am really a bit confused, I once thought that everything was a coincidence, such as Lin Tian and I knew each other since childhood, and we have always been classmates, such as meeting Ding Ding and Mrs. Nine, such as meeting Lu Yao, but things have developed all the way down, step by step, are deliberately arranged by other people, and even calculated for a long time, I still have what reason to believe in the word coincidence?
But the little ghost's tone is extraordinarily firm, as if he was afraid that I do not believe the same, deliberately raised his voice, if the pedestrians on the road can notice me and the existence of the little ghost, then they are bound to hear his hysterical shouts.
The little ghost reached out to help a hand behind the seat, staggered to sit down, face extremely painful, silent for a long time, which told me that, when he first saw me, he only thought I was an accidental departure from the soul of the person only, as if the person suffered what impact, or weak coma, the soul has a very small probability of automatically detaching itself from the body, turning into a state similar to the pseudo death, he was only a momentary good will. He was prepared to send me back, but he just didn't expect that the intersection between him and I would end up getting deeper and deeper, turning into this situation today.
I don't know why, although he didn't show any intention of hurting me now, the rational side of me wanted me to stay away from the little ghost, so I just stood to the side of him, separated by a distance, never leaning over. The little ghost looked up at me blankly and finally lowered his head again in silence.
He took the spirit bell out of his pants pocket, gently holding it in his hand and playing with it, and suddenly a tear, fell silently on it.
He opened his mouth again as if talking to himself, and said, This thing, was a gift from my father when I was ten years old. I've been following him around inside several cities almost since I was born. The only people I could play with as a child were the ghosts that were recruited by my dad. I'm a little different compared to other kids, that is, for the category of ghosts and monsters, I've never been afraid of it, probably because I'm used to it ……
I didn't open my mouth, and I didn't know what words to insert into it, still standing on the side, looking at his head down and talking to himself.
The little ghost mentioned that since he was a child, he followed his father around to search for those lost souls, and then in sent to a specific location. Other than his father, he had never met any of his relatives when he was sent. This kind of day, slowly, he got used to it. Later ten years old that day is, his father sent a bell to him, the little kid excited almost sleepless, because he more than once looked at his father's hand holding a bell, inviting souls to drive away ghosts. The heart is very envious, just do not want that night, wake up at dawn, never seen his father, now, he does not care about his father's life and death, after all, he usually do things, has crossed the boundary of life and death.
It was only later that the little kid realized that in fact, this so-called family of his, almost all of them are made up of people who are not related by blood, they are like prey, and do not know what method, in short, there will be a kind of induction to let you know what place, there is a what person, you need to take him with you to live together, will be him you will be everything, such as the identification of ghosts, what ghosts are supposed to help, and what ghosts are absolutely not to go near. When he learns everything you have taught him, then one day you will know you need to leave him and let him go out into the world on his own.
This was the case with the little ghost, he didn't know who his real parents were or where he came from, he was born as if he had just made a hasty journey into this world, he grew up following his so-called father, learning up little by little, until he was left alone after he had learned all of this and gotten his hands on the soul invocation bell.
There seemed to be a voice in the underworld that would tell him what path to take next, and he spent his weekdays sleeping alone in parks or wastelands, and stealing from stores when he was hungry. These days lasted for a short time, until the first time he completed a ghost delivery alone, he woke up and inexplicably realized that he had a little extra money in his pocket, as if it were like a payment, and he didn't know who gave it to him, and he never wanted to ask. It was just a matter of taking this so as not to starve himself to death.
When I heard this, I remembered my previous guess that the money of the little ghosts should be the payment in exchange for doing things for the ghost gods, although it may be a bit strange to understand it this way, but the ghost gods also need to make their messengers in the Yangwang world to be able to live. As if those stories recorded in the Liaozhai, a person every good intentions to help the ghosts and monsters, and finally received the yellow money sent by the ghosts Yuanbao, and finally woke up and found that these things become real gold and silver.
The little ghost all these years, is so a person slowly over, and then met the ghost car, sort of see this thing interesting, the little ghost a moment of itching, the ghost car as their own vehicle, just do not want to, and finally the ghost car has become his only friend.
Speaking of which, I can't help but think of the way he put his divorced body in the park pavilion before, he didn't have a fixed abode, and there is no one who can help him guard his body, so it's common to deal with it in such a haphazard way. It's not unlikely that once he left his soul to go out, he would come back and find himself dead.
Thinking this way, I suddenly feel a little sad again, but this is also considered a kind of human life in this big world, as for whether it is good or bad, I do not seem to have the qualifications to evaluate.
The little ghost said that this is fate, many people do not believe in fate, but when they live their whole life to the end, hastily recall their life, only to realize that there are some things that have long been predetermined.
Just I can't figure out what this has to do with impermanence. I tentatively asked this doubt out.
The little ghost looked up at me and said, Tan Xi, how do you think the impermanence came about, do you think the name of people like us, why is it called impermanence, that is because after we die, we will not become the kind of lonely souls and grudges, as long as the breath is cut off, the soul will change.
I was slightly surprised, it was as if this was the fulcrum of the fatalism in his mouth. They lived, yet seemed not to belong to this world, and after death, they transcended the ordinary ghosts and monsters. It was as if the old saying goes, there is a destiny in the underworld. They are the chosen ones.
I vaguely guessed the answer, just didn't open my mouth, the little ghost laughed miserably and didn't avoid it anymore, only saying, once I die, I will become impermanent and become a Yin God. Or this in the world after death, is a kind of hundred ghosts are envious of the existence, but since for the god, from that time onwards, I completely do not belong to the human emotions and consciousness of the things I do, are in accordance with the rules of the ghosts and gods to perform, even if it is you guys, but also will be captured and killed by me.
Although I already understood in my heart, but after this word was really said by the mouth of the little ghost, I was a little unable to accept it. As I have seen, the impermanent do things, there is really no freedom like the painted skin and the hanged ghost, wherever the ghosts and monsters become more, they will go there. Wherever someone dies, they will go. Where something unusual happens, like me being buried in the shade, they also proceed to deal with it.
There was no human emotion, they just followed their own set of rules, but what exactly those rules were, I couldn't figure out, and the little ghosts couldn't tell me now that they weren't dead.
I naturally know that in this set of rules, I am an existence to be wiped out by the impermanent, but since this is the case, I can not understand, why the little kid also help me so many times, I was silent for a while, asked him, then you now, what are you going to do?
He wiped both hands on his face, as if he wanted to make himself awake, did not look at me, but looked at the road ahead outside the window, a long time, before taking a deep breath, said, I now take you to Jiu Ye, to hand over to the ghosts under the coffin of a single wooden coffin of the ghosts of the changeless. This is my …… responsibility!
