Chapter 8 The Last God of the Wheel Chapter

Shi Zhongfen remembered the screen name of his post, and his face became hot for a moment.His lips moved a few times, but in the end no sound came out. "Get ready, we're going out." After speaking, Ying Zheng got up and went out first.In the bustling town, a shriveled figure wandered in the darkness, and a moment later, a woman dressed as a student was dragged into a dark alley.In the next second, with a sharp scream, a fresh life just passed away.Under the dim light, the terrified girl stared at her bloodshot eyes, turning into a shriveled corpse.In the small town police station, the chief of police stood behind the man in black with a respectful face. A young police officer was sweating and nervously explaining a bizarre case that happened today to the man.The bloody photos were placed on the table, and the people on them all looked uniformly dead, their necks were bitten out with wide wounds, and the blood in their entire bodies was sucked dry, showing the appearance of shriveled corpses. "This is the tenth incident that has happened in the past, and it all happened in the past week. We have dispatched a lot of people to conduct multi-faceted investigations. After fingerprints, hair left at the death scene and other evidence, it is confirmed that the perpetrator is a 75-year-old man. The strangest thing is that this old man was confirmed dead a week ago, but his body mysteriously disappeared before that!" "Lead the way, let's go to some old man's house," Ying Zheng said.Director Zhang quickly gestured to the leader of the serious crime team, and then said with a smile on his face: "This, uh, this gentleman, please follow me." In a bustling town, there is a dilapidated old house alone Standing there, a middle-aged man and woman were already waiting at the door, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time. "Hello, police officer! Is there anything important? I, Li Fugui, swear to God, I haven't committed any crimes!" The man rubbed his palms anxiously, obviously frightened by the police officer's summons. "Well, I'm here this time for nothing. I just want to ask you something about the recent mummy case." Director Zhang has been an official for many years, and he has an official tone when he speaks. "Oh, okay, I, Li Fugui, will promise to explain everything I know." Li Fugui still looked nervous, nodding and bowing obediently.Ying Zheng ignored everyone, just frowned and walked into the house. "This..." Seeing this, Shi Zhongfen explained to Li Fugui: "This gentleman doesn't like talking with people, so if you have anything to say, tell me first, and I'll just pass it on to him when the time comes." Li Fugui After hearing this, Fugui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, yes, yes." "Is this house where your family lives?" "We lived here before, and now we bought a house in the city center. My mother lives alone." Li Fugui said that when he bought a new house, he looked proud, obviously very satisfied with his hard work this year. "Oh, this house was going to be demolished a long time ago, but mother, uh, the old lady has been reluctant to move here to live with us, saying that she is afraid of troublesome us, but how can we as children despise our mother?" The woman on the side spoke, and pretended to wipe away her tears, as if she cared about the old man very much.Shi Zhongfen frowned, and asked again: "Do you know when the old lady's body disappeared?" When I came to see it the next morning, the body was gone, I don’t know it was the one who killed thousands of knives, even stole the body, my poor mother only had me, she was in a hurry, and..." Shi Zhongfen Interrupting Li Fugui's defense, he said: "I probably already know the situation, and I will ask you if I have any questions later." When he probably knew the specific situation in his heart, Zhong Fen walked towards Yingzheng, only to see Yingzheng Looking at a decayed tree stump.When Li Fugui saw it, Zhong Fen interrupted himself. He was afraid that he would offend these big shots if he could not answer well. When he saw that Ying Zheng was fascinated by the tree stump, he volunteered to explain the origin of the tree stump: "This tree stump belongs to my mother." Baby, I have to worship once every day when I was alive. There is also a story about this stump. Our town worshiped some gods in ancient times. This stump was originally a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree. People called it the wishful tree. When you make a wish to the tree god, if the bell on the tree rings, your wish will come true. Back then, the tree was full of bells tied with red strings. Later, with the development of technology, no one believed in it anymore. With these things, this tree will be deserted. Later, the town wanted to develop the economy, build roads and build houses, so the ginkgo tree was cut down. It was my mother who cried and begged, and the workers allowed her to take the stump. come back."

Li Fugui paused for a moment, and then with vague memories, he said: "You said that now it's New China, everyone talks about science, and people like my mother still believe in these things .”

When Shi Zhongfen heard the words, he took a careful look at the stump, and saw that although the stump was rotten, it had been wiped and polished clean, and the surrounding area was carefully surrounded by stones. branch.Perhaps it had been left unattended for a long time, and a fine layer of dust had fallen on the bell.

A breeze blew by, and the bell rang a few crisp sounds, as if someone was whispering in the ear.

After some inspections, Ying Zheng found nothing more, so he took Shi Zhongfen to the hotel arranged by Director Li to stay.

Shi Zhongfen looked at the moonlight coming through the window, and recalled the back of Yingzheng Mochizuki in his mind. There were many thoughts in his mind, and he was in a daze. Shi Zhongfen just fell asleep like this.

In the vibrant forest, a luxuriant ginkgo tree takes root in the ground.

His branches are covered with red ropes tied with bells. People hold simple but lively celebrations in front of the tree. Passers-by kneel in front of him and make sincere wishes.

I don't know that day, an old man with a beard suddenly appeared on the tree. He had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he sprinkled golden blessings on everyone who made a wish.

As the sun and the moon passed, the old man accompanied the human beings through the adversity and suffering, but in the end they did not escape the passing of time.

His followers are getting fewer and fewer, and with the decrease of followers, his strength becomes extremely weak, and his size shrinks so that it seems that he will dissipate in the next second.

Even so, he will still spread blessings to his followers, even if the golden light of that blessing is as weak as a candle.

On a stormy night, a little girl came to the ginkgo tree crying. Her mother was ill and was dying. She made a wish to the ginkgo tree devoutly, asking him to bless her mother.

At this time, the old man was so weak that only a phantom remained, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

He sprinkled a faint golden light for the girl, and he blamed himself for his incompetence. He knew that even in his heyday, he had no ability to save the girl's mother.

With all his strength, he frantically shook the faded bells on his branches. The sound of jingle bells caught the girl's attention. She raised her head in surprise and looked at the swaying bells all over the tree, showing a big smile. She He thanked the tree god joyfully, and ran home expectantly.

The old man looked sadly at the back of the girl leaving, and ringing the bell on the tree was the only thing he could do for the girl.

The old man felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he knew that he was about to disappear.

He looked at the place he had guarded for many years with some nostalgia. He didn't know when only his lonely tree remained in the once prosperous forest.

"Grandpa Tree God, Grandpa Tree God, my mother is fine. It must be Grandpa Tree God who heard my wish. When the bell rings, the wish will come true. It turns out that the legend is not a lie."

The girl's joyful voice came from afar. She took out a bell tied with a red string, and hung the bell on the branch of the ginkgo tree devoutly.

As the bell was hung up, the old man felt a long-lost warm current pouring into his body, and he almost shed a few lines of tears with excitement, his believers had not completely disappeared.

Every year, the girl will bring a bell to the ginkgo tree, make her wish, and hang the bell.

The sun shines on the golden leaves of the ginkgo tree, reflecting the dazzling light.An old man was sitting on a tree, shaking the bell on the tree vigorously, and the woman on the ground looked up with a smile on her face, watching the leaves falling with the wind and piously making her wish.

"Dingling", "Dingling", "Dingling", year after year, in this picture with the sound of bells floating, the only thing that changes is the woman on the ground.The sound of the bell and the ginkgo tree witness her transformation from a girl with hanging horns, to a girl with cardamom, to a young woman, to an old lady who is dying.

The ax of capital finally swung at this big tree full of history.

The old lady wailed and begged for mercy. She cried so hard that she only got a scarred tree stump in exchange.

She took the tree stump to plant in the yard with distress, watered and fertilized him, but the tree stump never sprouted again, but rotted day by day.

She deliberately climbed up the mountain and picked up stones, hoping that the stones with a mountain flavor could revive the tree stump.

Perhaps it was her good intentions that touched the heavens, and her fate finally ushered in a turning point.

The fragment of the reincarnation disk was hidden in that stone, and the old man who absorbed the power of the fragment regained his strength, even stronger than when he was at his peak.

The old man entrusted the old lady with a dream, and the ecstatic old lady cleaned the stump more carefully to prevent him from being stained with dust. She picked a branch, hung a bell, and stuck it on the side of the stump.

When the sun was shining, I moved a deck chair, listened to the sound of the breeze blowing through the bells, and took a nap.

Under the protection of the old man, the old lady is free from illness and disaster, and even his son is blessed, the business is booming, and both children are healthy.

In a quiet night, the old lady ended her life peacefully.

Because of the relationship between the daughter-in-law, there was a gap between her son and her.

On a cold wake night, the old man saw the old lady lying alone in the morgue, and felt a bone-piercing loneliness. His only believer had died, and he was really the only one left in the world.

This loneliness made him crazy. For the first time, he used the forbidden power in his body. He resurrected the old lady, or more precisely, he resurrected a demon in the old lady's skin.

The memory came to an abrupt end here, and the old man in the picture suddenly appeared in front of Shi Zhongfen.

"Because of my own selfishness, I insisted on keeping my best friend's soul and made a big mistake. I hope my little friend can help this old man save his best friend and help him enter reincarnation. However, this old man will return the fragments of the reincarnation disk."

Shi Zhongfen looked at the old man in front of him and said, "You should know that this is not something I can decide. You should talk to my master."

"Don't you know, that person has no heart."

Shi Zhongfen was slightly taken aback, and he smiled wryly in his heart, that man was not heartless, but put all his heart in the tomb of the First Emperor.

"Then you should also know that it is useless for me to agree."

The old man looked indifferent, he said with a smile: "But you will try your best, won't you?"

Before Shi Zhongfen could answer, Ying Zheng woke him up from his sleep.

"You're haunted by something."

Shi Zhongfen glanced at Yingzheng and said, "I think, I know where the reincarnation disk fragments are."

In the desolate courtyard, the old man emerged from the tree stump and said, "I have seen the Lord of Reincarnation."

"I already know your request. When you send Li Cuihong into reincarnation, it's time for you to hand over the reincarnation disk."

The old man was overjoyed, and replied respectfully: "I will definitely keep the promise."

Shi Zhongfen looked at the bent figure of the old man, and recalled the conversation with Ying Zheng.

"The reincarnation disk is given to you, what will happen to the tree god?"

"This kind of god born of faith, after the death of the only believer, without the support of the shards of the reincarnation disc, naturally disappeared."

There was a cool breeze, and Ying Zheng was discussing with the ghosts about the plan to arrest Li Cuihong, while Shi Zhongfen was sitting on a deck chair in the courtyard, chatting with the old man sitting cross-legged on a tree stump without saying a word.

"I'm curious about why you have the image of an old man from the beginning."

The tree god looked at Shi Zhongfen wisely, and said with a smile: "Everything about me comes from my followers, maybe in their hearts, this is what a good god looks like."

Shi Zhongfen looked at the smiling tree god, couldn't bear it, and said: "Do you have any wish, I mean, don't you regret it, that's it..." For a mortal to give up own endless years.

"Life without a confidant, only loneliness is left. You always think you can bear loneliness, but only when you really taste the taste of loneliness, you will understand that loneliness is not never having it, but losing it after you have it."

The tree god looked at Shi Zhongfen steadfastly, and sprinkled a long-lost golden light. A few numbers seemed to hit Shi Zhongfen's heart: "May you get what you want, kind person."

Shi Zhongfen raised his head in a daze, the tree god had already turned his head, looked at the distant sky, and murmured: "I really want to hear the sound of bells all over the sky."

The wind blew, and the few sparse bells rang softly, carrying an inexplicable desolation.

As the night was dark, Shi Zhongfen was awakened by a urge to urinate, he got up in a daze, and just as he stepped out of the room, he felt a gloomy cold air spraying on the back of his neck.

He shuddered, and the athletic potential in his body was stimulated by his strong desire to survive. He turned around and abruptly avoided the strong wind behind him.

Turning around, he saw a blue-faced and fang-toothed face firmly pressing against him.

A moment later, a scream that pierced the sky broke through the sky.

"Shi Zhongfen, you really have no other advantages except that you scream loudly and can be used as an early warning device." Zhong Yu hugged his shoulders and stood beside him with a sneer.

Shi Zhongfen ignored him, just hid behind Yingzheng, not recovering from the shock just now.

Li Cuihong let out a sharp whistling sound, and was pressed down by Meng Tian, ​​while the old man stood aside, his face, which was always smiling, was expressionless at this moment.

As Ying Zheng's incantation sounded, Li Cuihong's body gradually burst into black air. Suddenly, Li Cuihong, who was originally quiet, suddenly convulsed all over, which was actually a sign of being out of his wits again.

"Not good!" Ying Zheng stopped the hand that cast the spell, and said with a frown, "She's going to die out of her wits."

The originally quiet old man suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light.

The white light hit Li Cuihong's body that was emitting black air, like a burning flame, quickly devouring the scattered black air.

The tree god watched with satisfaction a pure white soul emerge from Li Cuihong's body, and in the next second, he himself turned into a phantom.

Even if it is exhausted, he does not want to see his best friend die full of dirt because of him.

Shi Zhongfen looked at the two white souls looking at each other and laughing in the void, and finally turned into broken light spots and dissipated in the air, suddenly felt that such an ending could not be a perfect ending.Two people stay together for a lifetime, and finally die in the same hole. Isn't this the beauty that people have been pursuing since ancient times.

Looking at the broken body of the tree stump in the courtyard, Shi Zhongfen had an inexplicable feeling that he might die as he wished like a tree god, but unlike the tree god's poignant and beautiful double-reed drama, his, from beginning to end, was just A bleak one-man comic.

Shi Zhong walked into the courtyard on his own, piled up the corpses on tree stumps one by one, took out the bells he had prepared long ago, hung them on the lonely branches, and fiddled with them one by one.

"Dingling" "Dingling" "Dingling" The sound of many bells echoed in the courtyard, Shi Zhongfen raised his head in shock and saw the bells floating in the sky shaking in the air, making a pleasant sound.

The moonlight fell on the ground, and in a trance, Shi Zhongfen seemed to see a kind-hearted old man desperately shaking the bell on the tree, and looking at the pious girl under the tree with a smile on his face.

"Shu Lao's wish, I heard it."

Shi Zhong turned his head fiercely, and at some point, he and Ying Zheng were the only ones left in the courtyard.

The moonlight shone on Ying Zheng's side face, softening his hard edges and corners.This cold-hearted man always fell into a trace of human tenderness at such critical moments, so damn it made him fall in love!

"Ying Zheng."

"Yeah." Ying Zheng looked back after hearing the words, but put a touch of warmth and softness on it.

A tear slowly fell from the corner of Shi Zhongfen's eyes, just for a while, just for a while, let me live in falsehood for a short time, and possess this man for a short time.

The warmth disappeared quickly, and the quick Ying Zheng hadn't reacted yet, so fast that everything seemed to be just his fantasy.

Ying Zheng stared blankly at the back of Shi Zhongfen who was walking away quickly, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and after a while, he drooped down. He took out the wild ginseng in his arms and stared at it for a long time. It's been so long that the sky has turned white, and it's been so long that he has made up his mind.
