"But you are just the shadow of Fu Chun."

Fu Zangzhou said coldly.

Yes, shadow.

It's not a metaphor, people have shadows, and now this "Fu Chun" is the shadow of the original Fu Hunzi.

Where there is light, there is shadow.

Everyone and everything has a shadow.

Although it is said to be a ghost, it is just that it is impossible to give such a shadow of self-consciousness and an accurate positioning.

The shadow is formless, shapeless, airless and breathless.

Anyone who has become refined and enchanted, or cultivated to become a demon, either has sex and life but is like a plant, or has life and no wisdom like a beast;

Even if it is also invisible and formless, it is a kind of Qi itself, invisible and intangible, but it really "exists" to manifest the entity and become a spirit;

Another example is the mandrill water monster, which is also the condensation of strange energy, born of luck.

The shadow is different from any monsters, it is a real existence of "nothingness".

Explained by physics, people, monsters, demons and demons all belong to "material";

The shadow is not a "substance", but an optical "phenomenon" that exists attached to the substance.

So even if it is perceived by the ghost king, because the shadow is too non-existent and too familiar, its "existence" cannot be perceived due to negligence for a while.

"Fu Chun" is not attached to the mute, but in the shadow of the mute.

It is dormant, and it is difficult for Fu Zangzhou to discover its existence.

Until the dumb is "searched".

Xu felt that the ghost king's soul fire would hurt it, so it acted rashly and tried to attack Su Zhen.

In other words, instead of "attacking", I want to repeat the old trick and stick to Su Zhen's shadow.

Unexpectedly, Su Zhen is extremely keen, relying on an instant awareness of the slightest violation, even if he doesn't know what it is, relying on his instinctive reaction to danger, he subconsciously revealed the Cangzhou Sword.

Fu Zangzhou took a distracted glance at the man.

Sigh secretly, in terms of observation ability, carefulness, and even crisis awareness, I am far inferior to Brother Zhen.

There is no end to learning.Today he is still far behind.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, he turned his attention back to the shadow.

I was upset.

I'm not happy that the other party is acting recklessly under my nose, and I'm not happy that I was really deceived.

It cannot be said that he was careless.

The so-called "following like a shadow", and "inseparable like a shadow"...

Who would have thought that shadows can also produce spiritual wisdom, and even backfire on the body, making Li Daitao stiff.

Fu Zangzhou's cultivation, except for system skills, is all learned from books.

With just a few books, it is impossible to explain all the aliens, including the secret methods of the aliens, one by one.

Even if there are one or two sentences in the records, they are often too general and ambiguous, making readers confused.

"Fu Chun" changed expression upon hearing this: "What do you know? What do you know!"

Gasping for breath, Xu Shi was drawn too hard by Su Zhen's sword, and couldn't help coughing a few times, his voice was hoarse——

"Fu Hunzi is just a bastard. How can such a bastard live a fair and honest life? And I can only be a shadow attached to him? I am not willing, I am not convinced! God is so unfair!"

Fu Hunzi is indeed a bastard.

Fu Zangzhou didn't deny this point, just hearing about what he did, he couldn't feel any good feelings.

however……

"God is indeed unfair."

Looking at the dumb who grinned and stared at the shadow viciously: "There are not many people in the world who have a miserable life experience and a pitiful situation like dumb, and they are still being targeted by something like you."

"Fu Chun" froze with a look of resentment, and after a while, he said in a deep tone: "I'm sorry for the dumb, but Wu Niang suffers from blood syndrome, and there is no cure. If she doesn't change her blood, she won't live for a few years."

Fu Zangzhou was slightly taken aback.

I didn't expect Wuniang to be terminally ill. Even though I don't know what the blood syndrome is, when I saw her nosebleed yesterday, I immediately thought of leukemia, which was "loved" by idol dramas...or is it a similar disease?

Suppressing doubts, he asked softly, "So why don't you exchange your own blood? You have already replaced Fu Chun, with a flesh and blood body."

"Fu Chun" glanced at him: "Human blood is different, but not everyone's blood can be exchanged for Wu Niang."

Fu Zangzhou: "..."

Feels like a silly question.

Different people have different blood types. If it is leukemia, the patient needs a bone marrow transplant, and the type must be matched first... For modern people, this is common sense.

But I didn't expect this shadow to talk about science.

Using non-human means to obtain blood, does it have to be matched?

Even so, don't you have to change the bone marrow?

Shaking his head secretly, he almost lost his mind.

Although the matching is too scientific, what the shadow steals is not the blood of the dumb, but the "god" in the blood.

"If possible, I would rather exchange my blood for Wu Niang's well-being."

"Fu Chun" continued: "I don't want to treat Ah Liu like this, but after searching for hundreds of people, only his blood is suitable for Wu Niang."

Fu Zangzhou shook his head lightly: "You say Fu Hunzi is a bastard, how is your behavior better than him? At least he saw the mute die and was willing to save his life."

"Fu Chun" coughed in a low voice for a long while, then sneered: "Fu Hunzi saved Ah Liu, it was just a matter of convenience. If he has my ability, he will only harm more people for his own benefit. "

Thinking of Fu Hunzi's character, Fu Zangzhou felt that what the shadow said might make sense.

However, his purpose was not to "clean up" Fu Hunzi, and he didn't even feel any regrets about Fu Hunzi being backlashed by his shadow.

There are causes and effects, and Fu Hunzi's bleak ending is probably the cause of his bastard behavior.

He is poorly dumb.

Furthermore...

"It's just that the dumb's blood type doesn't match, you're looking for a match from 'hundreds of people'... Are those people supposed to be murdered by you?"

"Fu Chun" was silent, and after a while, he had a cold face: "I can't care about that much anymore. People don't kill themselves, if it were you, you would do like me."

Fu Zangzhou thought about it for a moment, then shook his head affirmatively: "No, I won't."

He is not a saint, and he may be very selfish, but he is definitely not like the shadow, who is doing evil under the banner of being loved.

A murderer is a murderer, how pitiful his past is, and how helpless his situation is... His pathos is pitiful, his feelings are forgivable, but his crime deserves to be punished.

There are also very few extreme cases that are exceptions.

People like shadows are not counted as extremely rare exceptions, and they don't feel that there is anything to be pitied or forgiven.

The poor one is Wu Niang, and the miserable one is dumb.

"Fu Chun" hooked the corners of his lips, as if mocking, he never believed what the young ghost king said.

Fortunately, Fu Zangzhou didn't intend to persuade the other party.

What you have to do is to complete the task, and to complete the task, you have to...

Controlling the black coffin, the black coffin cannot subdue the shadow.

It's not that the shadow is too powerful, but that the shadow has indeed successfully replaced Fu Hunzi.

As I said before, it is a living person of flesh and blood.

Even the black coffin has the power to suppress the living, but it is actually targeting the soul of a person.

The shadow is a special existence, and it is one with Fu Hunzi, so it can eat back the other party's soul and occupy the physical body, unlike the usual "seize the house", where the body and soul do not match, and there is a "system conflict".

But the shadow is still a shadow, there is no soul, no soul, the black coffin's sealing power against the soul is ineffective.

Although "Fu Chun" didn't know the purpose of the black coffin, he was vaguely aware of its coercion. He didn't know whether it was because of panic, pretending to be calm, or self-sufficiency and no worries. ——

"You want to kill me?"

Without waiting for the young man to answer, he continued on his own: "I am also a human being now, and if you want to kill me easily, it is only in the name of righteousness and doing harm in reality, which is no different from what I did."

Fu Zangzhou was silent.

It's not about entanglement with the shadow's statement, but that the other party is indeed right, and now he is considered a living person.

He may have no scruples about dealing with non-human beings who do evil, but if the other party is a living person...

Su Zhen suddenly said: "Now that you are an adult, you should abide by the laws of the world. Those who murder people's lives are unforgivable crimes. Shu Ming and Ling Qing will detain their bodies and send them to the Jian'an government office."

"Fu Chun"'s expression changed suddenly, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

Fu Zangzhou was taken aback by what his brother Zhen said.

So I laughed in my heart.

Really confused.

That's right, living people should follow the rules of living people. I reminded Changfeng and the others before, how could I forget when it was my turn?

Originally thinking of using the book of life and death as a verdict, but then worried that the situation of the shadow is too special, if the authority of the book of life and death is not enough, it will be troublesome.

Of course it's not that I can't help but be shadowed.

Otherwise, how could the other party be so well-behaved at this moment, not in a hurry to escape, but still have the time to "squabble" with him?

In the end there are concerns.

Brother Zhen's response is very reasonable and legal.

The shadow body is under his control, and the body is handed over to the government for judgment.

According to Yu Country's criminal law, if Ying didn't think about repenting after killing someone like this, if he wanted to murder others again, thinking about its harmfulness, he would probably be beheaded inevitably.

Once the physical body dies, the shadow has great abilities, and after all, it cannot escape the ending of disappearing in smoke.

inseparable.

Now that the shadow can exist independently, it is because he has occupied the physical body, and the form and shadow have become one.

However, the "shape" is dead, and the shadow will eventually disappear.

"Fu Chun" could no longer be calm, and stared at Fu Zangzhou and Su Zhen fiercely: "I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"

Fu Zangzhou was clever for a while, and asked, "Does the mute have any grudges against you?"

"His life was saved by me, and he lived to this day only after eating my old mother's food."

Fu Zangzhou said softly: "Fu Chun saved his life, and he not only ate the food of Fu Chun's family...According to what you said, a dumb person is better off cutting bones and flesh, pulling out skin and tendons, and mortgaging for a lifetime of reincarnation, otherwise where would he be?" Still worthy of the grace of the whole Xinghuali?"

"Fu Chun" was speechless.

After a while, he said, "At least it has nothing to do with you outsiders."

Fu Zangzhou couldn't help sighing, feeling inexplicably, and said in a low voice: "In fact, you already have a living body and successfully replaced Fu Chun's existence. If you don't do evil anymore, maybe no one will be able to discover your true identity."

He didn't know how the other party devoured Fu Hunzi, maybe it was carefully planned, or maybe it was unintentional...

However, since I finally got rid of the situation of the shadow and can live in an open and aboveboard manner, why are you still not satisfied?

"Fu Chun" lowered his eyes, still saying the same thing: "What do you know?!"

"I don't understand." Looking at the dumb, bearded and staring, with a funny expression, "I just can't help but want to meddle in my own business..."

Not just for missions.

"Since you are a shadow, how can you be afraid of light?

"The mute's head is not bright, thinking that if there is a shadow in the light, you will harm others, and subconsciously choose to protect others..."

This is an inference, which is generally correct.

The mute knows that "Fu Chun" hides in his own shadow, and suffers from it. He hides when he sees the light, and he is probably afraid that the shadow will run on others... Although it is taken for granted, with his mind, he can spontaneously take actions to protect others , which is unexpected.

Thinking about it again, the "grave bag" without bones on the bamboo mountain can easily be deduced that it was the grave dug for Fu Hunzi by the mute.

The mute must have discovered that "Fu Chun" is not Fu Chun. Although people are stupid, their hearts are clear, so they are full of gratitude for people.

"Fu Chun" scoffed: "The sounding..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sharp voice: "Shut up!!"

It's Aunt Fu.

Shu Ming and Ling Qing haven't gone out yet.

Aunt Fu's family, who somehow got the information, followed Uncle Liu and came here first.

Seeing the old woman and the woman supporting her, "Fu Chun" panicked instantly: "Aniang, Wu Niang, what are you doing..."

"Don't call me A Niang." Old Aunt Fu scolded, but she covered her face and wept.

Wu Niang didn't say a word, but her face was sad and disappointed.

"Fu Chun" dare not speak.

Unexpectedly, such a turning point made Fu Zangzhou feel embarrassed: "Aunt Fu, you..."

In any case, this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are pitiful and innocent;

He was even thinking just now, once the shadow is subjugated, how to modify his rhetoric and tell a white lie so that the family can accept the reality.

Aunt Fu seemed to have never heard of it, wiped her tears, and murmured: "I thought it would be all right in the future, even if...you are not Chun'er."

"Fu Chun" turned pale with shock: "Mother!"

Subconsciously looked at his wife, Wu Niang.

Wu Niang slightly turned her face away, lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Fu Zangzhou was also very surprised——

He thought that even Shadow himself firmly believed that Fu Chun's family didn't know that "Fu Chun" had changed his face.

"Chun'er is a debt collector, I hate and resent, why am I so miserable, why is God not open his eyes...

"Look how filial Shiro in the east of the village is, and Ada in the north is capable. I envy him for having such a good son."

Aunt Fu was in a trance, immersed in her own emotions: "I'm old, I can't hold on anymore, the second son and the others can't take care of the family, Wu Niang is weak, and there are many taboos for women and Taoists. I just thought, if Chun'er can change That’s fine, be filial and loving family like Shiro, endure hardships and be capable like Ah Da, so I’m willing to die.”

"I dream every day, thinking that Chun'er will become a different person," Aunt Fu said, laughing, and continued to shed tears with a smile, "Suddenly, all my wishes come true, my son has become better, and life at home has also improved. .”

She sighed: "Chun'er was raised by me, even if he breaks his brain, I can't mistake him.

"But what's there to worry about? The bastard is gone, and a good son came, better than Shiro and Ah Da, so let's do it, God has eyes..."

The old woman babbled and said a lot.

Fu Zangzhou was thoughtful.

The "birth" of the shadow may really have something to do with Aunt Fu's thoughts.

Although it's so mysterious, so mysterious that it doesn't make sense, but the human mind is indeed the most amazing thing.

It is a natural law for a mother to "induct" and give birth to a child.

Fu Chun was originally Aunt Fu's son, so...his shadow was induced and gave birth to wisdom, which naturally replaced his body and became Aunt Fu's son.

"Fu Chun" couldn't believe it: "Mother, aunt, you always knew me, I'm not your son?"

Aunt Fu wiped her tears: "I said to myself in my heart, this is my son, my real son... But how can you, how can you make a dumb person?!"

"But Wu Niang..."

He was anxious to explain, but the silent Wu Niang suddenly said: "Life and death are destiny, I am sick, so what if I die!"

"I can't accept it!" "Fu Chun" looked anxious.

Unbearable by his old lady, she took a bamboo stick and slapped her hard: "My old lady, I will die sooner or later, if you don't want to, don't you plan to hurt another person?!

"There's also the dumb, what's the difference between a dumb and your own brother? You're so ruthless today to hurt the dumb, what about in the future...

"Whatever you encounter in the future, won't even the second son be tolerated?"

"Fu Chun" was speechless.

To his old lady, he couldn't find reasons to make excuses like he did to Fu Zangzhou.

The atmosphere was silent.

Fu Zangzhou did not intervene in the family's ethical drama.

Compassion in my heart.

Aunt Fu was too miserable, and Wu Niang also had a hard life. She even felt a little bit sorry for the original Fu bastard: when a person dies, even his existence is wiped out. Instead, his mother and wife are grateful for his disappearance, saying that he deserved it, of course. It deserves it, but it doesn't make people feel sad.

After a long time, Aunt Fu seemed to have dried up her tears, and she stopped talking and said with a weary expression, "Follow me to report to the police."

"Fu Chun" looked sad: "Aniang doesn't want to recognize me?"

Aunt Fu seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden, and said in a depressed tone, "I recognize you, so the dog will eat my heart. I also have to think about my second son and the others. They must not become black-hearted bastards."

When "Fu Chun" heard the words, his eyes were stern, and he looked at Wu Niang with a hint of expectation.

Wu Niang didn't look at him, and said softly, "It's my fault, I will explain the reason to the official."

"What about your illness?"

Wu Niang frowned: "Isn't it good to be alive? One day when I die, Lord Yan will think that my life is enough. Take care of yourself, don't worry about my affairs..."

As she spoke, she looked at the mute with apologetic eyes.

His lips twitched, trying to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

The mute didn't notice it, and stared at "Fu Chun" until his eyes were sore and red.

When she saw Aunt Fu crying, she didn't care about the person she hated, and hurriedly ran in front of the old woman, waving her siblings, "Ahhh" I don't know what to say.

"Da Lang..." Aunt Fu suddenly looked at the young ghost king, "Say, the mute is fine now, will the official spare Chun and spare him from dying?"

The mute is not dead, but Fu Chun is dead!

Fu Zangzhou thought this way, met the old woman's eyes, and suddenly understood what she meant.

Does Aunt Fu hope that the identity of "Fu Chun" can be kept secret?

In the eyes of others, it was Fu Chun who murdered the mute but failed.

Fu Zangzhou couldn't help frowning in his heart.

On the one hand, he was thinking about how bastard Fu Hunzi really is, and now, his old mother does not want the shadow to take responsibility for his life;

On the other hand he feels conflicted.

Of course he will not reveal the true identity of the shadow to the outside world, but he also hopes that the law can deal with this murder case fairly.

The mute is fine because he was rescued in time.

otherwise……

Can't help but look at Su Zhen.

Su Zhen was determined, as hard as iron, and answered for the young ghost king: "The prefect Zhao of Jian'an Prefecture is the most upright man, and the shadow kills two lives in a row, he will not tolerate it."

Seeing the bewildered look of the old woman, she finally gave an explanation, which was a rare long speech: "If the shadow only harmed Fu Chun, the prefect of Zhao will pity your widowed mother and your family is difficult, so maybe you can give a light sentence according to the circumstances.

"But it absolutely shouldn't regenerate evil thoughts.

"The dumb situation is miserable, and the heart is like a child. The prefect Zhao loves and pities such a person the most. Once he learns of the shadow's crimes and he does not want to repent, he will be furious and the crime will be aggravated."

Aunt Fu became anxious when she heard that, she didn't dare to look at Su Zhen, she turned to Fu Zangzhou for help, and said urgently, "Da Lang, I beg you..."

"Auntie!"

Wu Niang interrupted the old woman softly: "Da Lang is too young to be able to do anything, so don't make it difficult for you."

Fu Zangzhou: "..."

He is really difficult.

For a moment I regretted accepting this task.

It was as if he had done something wrong.

He thought it was a very comprehensive approach not to make his own claims, but to adopt "private law" against the shadow and transfer it to the law of the world for punishment.

Even if the government doesn't impose a death sentence on Shadow, he only needs to put a restraint on Shadow so that he can no longer use the shadow secret technique to do random things... and he doesn't intend to interfere.

But Aunt Fu's request...

sigh.

I can't care less.He asked the shadow who had been silent for a long time: "Do you choose to report to the officials and surrender to the law of the world, or..." He was vague, without mentioning the book of life and death, "Let it be judged by heaven."

I hope the authority of the Book of Life and Death is sufficient.

"Fu Chun" seemed disheartened.

He didn't respond, and his body suddenly "dissolved".

The old woman and the woman were so shocked that they didn't care about their grief and pain: "Chun'er/Xianggong!"

The human form is gone.

A faint shadow was printed on the ground, and Fu Chun's appearance could be vaguely seen.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prostrated themselves on the ground, trying to keep the shadow.

Can only touch the cold ground.

Fu Zangzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then became vigilant.

The shadow is elusive and cunning, this "Fu Chun" should not get too angry and do something irreversible.

The system then reminded him that the task was completed.

finished?

The young ghost king was a little confused.

His eyes stared blankly, falling on the shadow on the ground.

The shadow was moving, walking like a human being. After taking a step or two, the shadow covered Aunt Fu and Wu Niang.

In the next moment, the shadow faded away and turned into a wisp of smoke, blending into the shadows of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Fu Zangzhou immediately covered his eyes with ghost power, this time he was prepared, so he had a panoramic view of what the shadow did.

The shadow was divided into two, attached to the shadow of old aunt Fu's daughter-in-law.

Should have lost the ability to act independently.

Since then, they have been "inseparable" with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

I don't know if it will affect them...

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have similar expressions, half crying and half laughing, with melancholy eyes.

Sitting on the ground stupidly, touching the shadow of nothingness.

I don't know how long it took, an anxious and frightened girl's voice sounded, it was Si Ya: "It's bad, it's bad, brother's body is rotting, and he's out of breath!"
