Rebirth alone

After the troublesome heavy rain, the temperature in the capital has risen again.The meteorological station issued a high temperature warning for several days in a row, and the driving school coach also posted a message in the group, advising students not to practice driving for the time being.The weather is indeed too hot, and it can be cooked for a few hours in the sun.

Gu Jiuqing showed Ye Tao the phone, and Ye Tao said, "Then let's not go."

Gu Jiuqing raised his arms high, then "chirped" on his Uncle Ye's young face, and happily went to play the game.

Ye Tao shook his head, removed the rice paper with a large drop of ink on it, spread out another sheet, picked up a pen to fill in the ink, and continued to copy the scriptures.

In the past two years, Ye Tao copied the Ksitigarbha Sutra the most, and recited the Mantra of Rebirth the most.Some people practice this life, some people cultivate the afterlife, but Ye Tao only wants to wash away his sins, and one day he will pass away, and the heavy shackles will no longer hang on his soul.

But Ji Qingyou said: "The souls of the general's halberd have long since lost their reincarnation, why bother to save them?"

This is not unreasonable, but there is also a trace of hatred and injustice in it.From Ji Qingyou's point of view, the general is indeed covered in blood, but after the killing, why didn't he protect the peace of one side and save countless lives?How can those gods and Buddhas who have the virtue of good life only count sins and disregard merits?

Ye Tao said: "I was able to reincarnate into a human being, and I didn't fall into the animal realm or the hungry ghost realm. Isn't it because of those merits?"

Ji Qingyou asked him: "Do you really think that Tuosheng is a blessing?"

Ye Tao looked at the dripping water under the eaves, his brows and eyes were peaceful, and he said: "All living beings are suffering."

Human beings are suffering in this world, but aren’t those slaughtered animals suffering?Even the grass and trees will wither every year. Everything in this world, as long as it has life, and as long as it has a spirit, which one is not suffering?

The sun was scorching outside the window, everyone in the house went their own way, and the afternoon passed like this.Gu Jiuqing got off the game, stretched his waist, groped his stomach and went into the bedroom, wanting to ask Uncle Ye to continue teaching him the shredded pork with Beijing sauce that he made the day before yesterday, but Ye Tao fell asleep lying on the table.

Gu Jiuqing put on a piece of clothes for him lightly, then backed out softly, hesitated for a while in the living room, and then went into the kitchen.

He took out the meat that should have been thawed but was heated by mistake from the microwave oven, and looked at the half-cooked pork tenderloin soaked in blood, Master Jiu blinked his eyes in confusion, and sighed for a while.Although he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is that he kind of misses the days when he had free takeaway food.

After that heavy rain, Zhou Ziqian never appeared again, and the door that was always ajar was locked.Gu Jiuqing didn't think that a few words of persuasion would make the paranoid who insisted on not letting go of Qingshan suddenly enlighten and change his mind. He thought that the paranoid was probably on a business trip, not in the capital, or even in the country, and came back after finishing work.

Just rely on yourself.

Gu Jiuqing rallied, threw the undercooked tenderloin into the pot and cooked it, and prepared to take it downstairs to feed the stray cats later, then set up another pot, boiled the water, prepared the dishes, found the timer, and then put the refrigerator away. Please come out with the frozen dumplings.

Later, Master Jiu happily held a plate of complete and well-cooked hot dumplings, and gave himself a compliment: "Gu Jiuqing, you are awesome!"

After putting the dumplings and bowls and chopsticks on the table, Gu Jiuqing realized that it was already dark, and there was still no movement in the bedroom.

Urban life is not as quiet and remote as the years in the mountains, and Ye Tao doesn't want to stay at home. He is busy preparing new stores these days, and eating and sleeping are not as regular as before. I think he is too tired.

Gu Jiuqing thought about telling him to get up to eat, and then take a solid rest after eating, but when he opened the door, the "Uncle Ye" that he was about to say was stuck in his throat, and he was suddenly suffocated.

There was no light in the bedroom, and the moonlight outside the window was not bright enough, so everything in the room was shrouded in darkness.But Gu Jiuqing's eyes can see at night, and occasionally he can see things that ordinary people can't see.Now he can clearly see that Ye Tao is still lying on the desk, sleeping peacefully and peacefully. Everything in the bedroom is almost as usual, except for the hazy figure that seems to appear out of nowhere, still and feels a little erratic. .

It was a man, tall and slender, with blood stains on the white skirt.Although it was just a vague figure, it could still be seen that his face was pale, and even his slightly pursed lips lacked much blood, giving off a lifeless and cold feeling, like... like a corpse walking from the morgue. out of the body.However, such a gloomy person is looking at Ye Tao with eyes that are so gentle that they are indescribable. His eyes are focused and deep, like a vast night sky filled with stars.

It's not that Gu Jiuqing has never seen a soul, but the person in front of him, to be precise, is the soul body, which is clearly Zhou Ziqian who disappeared for several days!

Why is he here?What happened to him?Is this a dead soul or a living soul?He won't... won't die, will he?

A chill crept up Gu Jiuqing's back, and he shivered from the ice.

I don't know how long it took before Gu Jiuqing started to walk towards him and Ye Tao as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

The master bedroom is not spacious, and there is a large desk in the room, and it is only a few steps from the door to the desk.

Every step of Gu Jiuqing was full of hesitation and shock, and he couldn't help but take his steps very lightly and slowly, but his heartbeat was very fast, and he felt like he was about to prove his death.

When there were only two steps left between each other, Zhou Ziqian seemed to realize the existence of Gu Jiuqing, and slowly turned his head to look at the person coming. His expression and eyes were very calm, and he slowly retracted his gaze with just one glance, and continued to look at Ye Tao quietly. .

Gu Jiuqing swallowed his saliva, and wanted to touch the soul body that he didn't know whether it was life or death, but he couldn't pass it out when he raised his hand. He obviously didn't touch anything, but he felt that his fingertips were stabbed by the coldness. ache.

"What's the matter with you?" Gu Jiuqing asked in a dry and unsteady voice, "You...are you still alive?"

The sharp and shrewd man at that time is now very dull. It took more than ten seconds to look at Gu Jiuqing slowly, with a ignorant expression, as if he couldn't understand Gu Jiuqing's words.

When Gu Jiuqing tried to speak again, Ye Tao woke up.Probably because his arms were numb from sleeping on the table for too long, he frowned slightly and straightened up, with a bewilderment on his face, seeing Gu Jiuqing in the dimness, he asked in a nasal voice, "Why don't you turn on the light?" ?”

Gu Jiuqing gave a vague "Oh" and glanced at Zhou Ziqian out of the corner of his eye before turning to turn on the light.

Under the light, Ye Tao didn't find anyone else in the room. He looked back at the alarm clock on the cabinet and saw that it was almost eight o'clock, so he got up and went out to prepare dinner.

Zhou Ziqian is like a kite held by Ye Tao. He follows Ye Tao wherever he goes. His figure is erratic, and he follows Ye Tao's footsteps without any hesitation.

During dinner, he stood quietly beside Ye Tao, his eyes fixed on Ye Tao, as if nothing but Ye Tao was in his eyes.

Gu Jiuqing was full of worries and preoccupations, but he didn't dare to tell Ye Tao rashly, so he could only try his best to hold back and wait for the future to change.The whole meal was extremely uncomfortable, and I didn't know what the dumplings in my mouth tasted like.

After dinner, Zhou Ziqian followed up in the kitchen. Ye Tao was washing dishes in front of the sink, and he stood aside and watched.

Gu Jiuqing wanted to dismiss Ye Tao, talk to Zhou Ziqian alone, and find out what happened to him, so he packed the tenderloin and asked Ye Tao to take it downstairs to feed the cat, while rushing to wash the dishes by himself.

Ye Tao didn't suspect anything, so he picked up the trash and left the kitchen with the cat food.

Gu Jiuqing was afraid of alarming him, so he didn't dare to make a sound, so he gave Zhou Ziqian a wink, and was afraid that he would not understand, so he simply stood in front of him and prevented him from following him out.

Zhou Ziqian followed Ye Tao with his eyes, ignoring the person in front of him, passing straight through without going around or avoiding.

He has no entity, and passed through without a sound.Gu Jiuqing shuddered, it felt like the sky was opened wide, and someone suddenly poured a ladle of cold water that had just been scooped up from the cold pool.

Zhou Ziqian obviously didn't feel well either, just wearing it so silently, his soul body was like the moon in the water wrinkled by the wind, vaguely about to disperse.

Is this going to kill your soul? !Never!I don't even know how to call Hun'er, let alone such a difficult homework as Gathering Soul!

Gu Jiuqing was terrified, almost every pore opened up into a QAQ shape, let alone trying to stop him, he didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear that he would be blown into a pile of scattered soul fragments by the old man.

Does this count as being a ghost and not letting you go?
