Should the soul

For a ghost in this world, what is more important than the soul?

No more.

The nameless ghost worked as a civil servant in the Temple of the Earth God for a year. While handling official documents for him in the three worlds of humans, ghosts and gods, he inquired about the possible location of his own soul. As spring and autumn came, he did not find out about his soul, because he couldn't bear the troupe at the entrance of the village. Suona played the qin for someone in his dream at night, but was kicked out by the land. In the end, he kowtowed three times outside the temple, and left naked like he came to Taniguchi Village naked on the day he came.

In autumn, he went down the Jinghe River Valley, not knowing exactly where he was going, but just walking in a daze, passing one village after another in a daze, stealing some food when he was hungry, and staying where he was when he was tired. lie down.

In the first few years of Dashun's administration, the people's livelihood in the cities and towns recovered well, and what's even more rare is that the etiquette was improved and the people lived in peace. One month later, the nameless ghost walked out of the capital city by accident, relying on his faint intuition.

The towering and thick city wall stood majestically under the setting sun, and the sun scattered layers of halos. The ghost looked up blankly at the clearly written word Dongdu on the top of the city, and was shocked by the majesty of the city.

At dusk, the best time for encounters between humans and ghosts.

The nameless ghost suddenly became dizzy, tilted his head, only heard a "boom", fell and did not know what happened.

·

When he woke up again, the nameless ghost felt that he had become heavy, lying down in a neat and strange place, with a few pills scattered on the ground, he struggled to get up, raised his hand, and suddenly saw a white arm with a clear outline , The body and spirit are one, he was startled, sure it was his arm, he quickly got up, looked at a bronze mirror, and staggered towards it——

The nameless ghost saw a young face first.

Tall and straight nose bridge, round dog eyes, the corners of the mouth are naturally upward, which is a natural smile.

Is this... myself?

The nameless ghost touched the mirror with one hand and touched his face with the other. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but he raised his mouth, and joy poured out of his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he bowed his head and took off his clothes.

He took off everything on his body, turned back and forth in the mirror, and then pinched his stomach hard.

It's hot, it's soft, it hurts!

He was so nervous that he inhaled and jumped twice on the spot!

There were two "dong dong" sounds on the ground.

There's weight, and there's sound!

The nameless ghost covered his mouth in surprise, and danced happily in the room for a long time, before realizing, what is going on?Is he possessed?Why are you possessed?

He read a lot of official documents in the Digong Temple, and he remembered very well what he could and couldn’t do. Ghosts and gods were not allowed to possess him. Unless there was a special order issued by the underworld, otherwise, once discovered, he would be punished in the underworld for 80 years.

The nameless ghost looked at the body in the mirror. It was very white, very young, a little thin, and healthy. He bent down, picked up a piece of clothing from the ground, put it on, and opened the door with his head.

The wooden door opened and closed left and right made a smooth and pleasant sound. He poked his head, but there was no one outside. What came into view was a long rectangular courtyard, brightly lit and well-furnished. It was not an ordinary house at first glance, but it was obviously not the main courtyard, because There are more than a dozen doors in the courtyard that are similar to this one, and it has the atmosphere of living people's living inside, more like a high-end group living room.

The nameless ghost was a little puzzled, this kind of wealthy family generally worshiped many gods, the ancestor god, Emperor Shenwu, would not have entered and possessed him so easily if he had caused trouble on his own.

He couldn't understand the situation in front of him, so he had to stand back in front of the mirror, intending to ask a question nearby.

"Did I take your body?"

The nameless ghost looked at the person in the mirror, his expression became serious, and the bright and innocent expression slowly faded from his face. He looked at the past of this body with a pair of eyes that were almost self-contradictory:

"Tell me, who are you? Where is this?"

There seemed to be ice all around.

The person outside the mirror stared at the person inside the mirror, slowly, the ghost's sea of ​​consciousness moved, and a timid and weak force was forced to utter three sentences.

Kong Jie.Chengguo government office.It's an aide.

"Oh... Duke Cheng, I know him."

The ghost nodded, it was rare for him to know a few people, and it was a coincidence that he could come to this person's house: "Then what do you usually do? Why are you considered an aide?"

The child was probably too weak to speak, and only a few images were given to him.

In the winter about three years ago, he passed out on the long street outside Cheng Guogong's mansion. He was accidentally seen by Cheng Guogong who had returned from the early court. Since then, he has been taken in and lived here. The stewards never drove him away from the mansion. According to them, Kong Jie's facial features resembled the late King Anping, and Cheng Guogong allowed him to live in the staff courtyard.

The ghost doesn't know who King Anping is, and wants to ask why he can live in such a nice house just like him?But after thinking about it, "Forget it, it's not important," he picked up the important one and asked, "Then why are you committing suicide?"

He saw the pills scattered on the ground, they were poison, the kid deserved to die.

The child showed him the picture of this morning.

The twilight of the sun had just crossed the wall of Duke Cheng's mansion, and the narrow alley running from north to south was already crowded with cavalrymen. Kong Jie ran forward with a saddle in his arms. His status seemed to be a bit low. Several guards passing by looked at him and joked, some stopped him with guns, and some pressed his head down hard, waiting for him to rush into the south courtyard after all the hard work. The team has gone clean.

Immediately afterwards, the scene was changed again. Three men dressed as aides chatted around the table. They laughed while looking at Kong Jie. To be honest, they only had face. thing."

To sum up, the kid was blinded by his colleagues because he failed to deliver Cheng Guogong's saddle in time, and committed suicide in shame.

After the ghost watched it, it was really silent for a while: "...All right."

The child didn't ask the ghost, and it didn't seem like he wanted to cut anyone into pieces, so the ghost had no choice but to touch the position of the heart and discuss: "Then I can't get out now, so I will stay here temporarily. Immortal Lu catches it, you have to distinguish it for me."

The child didn't respond to him, and the nameless ghost sighed. After familiarizing himself with the name Kong Jie several times, he opened the door to find out where the kitchen was.

The sun was setting dimly.

Everything in the mansion is very beautiful, the high gates are high, the doors hang from the walls, and even the corners are decorated with great care. Kong Jie looked around and felt that the mansion probably occupies half an area of ​​Taniguchi. In the village, the staff, subordinates, and guards in the mansion hurried past with decent clothes, calm demeanor, and calm demeanor, revealing the difference of Gaomen's mansion from top to bottom, inside and out.

Kong Jie lived not too far from the kitchen. There were five large main rooms, and two kitchens in the north and south. There were cooks on duty from morning till midnight, and they could do everything from dinner to dessert. This is the privilege of the owner of the South Yard. The subordinates in the mansion have to pay for the meals. The owner is not here today, and the cook is talking and drinking tea outside the pot, looking relaxed.

Kong Jie looked at the money in his pocket, he had enough to eat many dishes, but he didn’t want to eat by himself, after all, he hadn’t eaten as a living person for a long time, with more people, he could try more different dishes and communicate with his colleagues Connect with feelings.

The setting sun was dripping, and a series of footsteps happened to be approaching.

Before the crowd entered the courtyard, Kong Jie first heard a burst of high-spirited and excited discussions: "Did you see that star just now was too beautiful!... just now the people in the south courtyard said that when the stars passed by, the sky Several horses in the grandfather’s stable neighed towards the sky together, this is a good omen! When the grandfather comes back, he will be happy to hear that!”

Kong Jie was overjoyed. It seems that people are very happy. Happy people are not likely to refuse others. He stood at the kitchen door for a while, intending to invite them to have dinner together.

Unexpectedly, just as the group of people turned into the courtyard, the chattering and laughing person at the head caught a glimpse of him, and suddenly stopped in surprise: "...Kong Jie?"

He was a tall and strong young man. Most of the housekeepers wore scribes' uniforms. He was the only one in a black samurai uniform. He looked different, handsome and burly. The moment he saw himself, his expression turned subtle and unnatural: "It's you .”

Kong Jie said "Oh", "It's me."

Kong Jie recognized him. This man lives next door to him, his name is Wang Pu.

It was the person who laughed at Kong Jie for no use this afternoon.
