Doling man

The courtyard under the darkness of night looked extremely desolate. Cheng Huan looked at the iron gate in front of him and said, "It's here."

Li Chengtian extinguished the soul fire in his hand, and said: "The breath of the evil spirit has disappeared here."

Cheng Huan stretched out his hand to push the door, Li Chengtian grabbed his wrist and said, "Be careful, there is a lot of resentment here." Cheng Huan nodded at him, and the two pushed open the big iron door together.

The weeds in the yard were uneven and grew a full meter high. There were cement boards and steel bars scattered around the yard, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, and Cheng Huan and Li Chengtian followed quickly. They circled the small second-floor building to the backyard, and several shadows flashing blue light quickly gathered together, gnawing on something in the corner .Cheng Huan walked over slowly, the shadow turned his head to take a look, let out a low growl, and then dispersed in all directions.

Li Chengtian stepped forward, looked at the man lying in a pool of blood, and said, "Let's be a few minutes later, he is really going to be reincarnated." He stood up, looked around, and said, "Where is this place, the breath is too strong?" It's weird!"

As soon as the words fell, all the lights in the house suddenly turned on, "Ah...", the woman's screams streaked across the sky.Cheng Huan turned around abruptly, it was Song Qing!He looked at the house in front of him and ran quickly.

"Cheng Huan!" Li Chengtian's voice gradually became weaker, and Cheng Huan was far behind him.

"Ah..." There was another scream, and Cheng Huan looked at the iron gate in front of him and kicked it open.

A gust of cool wind passed through the hall, and all the lights went out in an instant.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

There was one strange noise after another in the room, as if a pig's knife had been dropped on a clumsy chopping board.

Cheng Huan entered the door and scanned his surroundings, blue light floated in from the cracks in the windows and doors, surrounding him like a veil.

The voice of an old man suddenly sounded, as if it came from far away: "The Cheng family has sons, which means three grams, father, mother, and family, so you are doomed to be lonely when you are young, and you have nowhere to rely on when you are old. Good death, the key depends on yourself!"

Cheng Huan heard the prestige and looked around, the blue light slowly gathered in the room, and the hunched body of an old man could be vaguely seen.

Another beam of light gradually gathers, like a young man leaning slightly: "But I have seen people begging to live, but I have not seen people begging to die."

"Hehe..." The old man smiled, but said nothing.

The young man said: "Be kind to others, I believe that good people will be rewarded."

"Hehe..." The old man smiled again, slowly hunched his back, and said quietly, "What is good does not necessarily have rewards. In other words, if there is no reward, does it deserve no kindness?"

The young man thought for a while, and said: "Goodness is goodness, what is the cause?"

"Hehe..." The old man smiled again, and said, "In the future, when you do good deeds, I hope you will remember what you said today."

As soon as the old man's voice fell to the ground, all the blue light around him dispersed and turned into black mist, falling around Cheng Huan.

The boy lay down slowly on the ground, and a dark figure stepped forward, holding a sharp sword transformed into light in his hand, and stabbing the boy again and again.

The voices of the crowd were low and gentle: "Reincarnation goes back and forth, life and death are immortal, good and evil have no cause, and retribution has no fruit."

A gloomy voice sounded in the room, and Cheng Huan's right forearm suddenly felt excruciatingly painful. He pulled up his sleeve, and a dragon-shaped silhouette was faintly visible. The next moment, the burning pain seemed to spread from his arm to his whole body. .

"Um……"

Cheng Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt on one leg with his arms covered. He raised his head and saw the mist wrapped around him melt into his body.

Li Chengtian looked helplessly at the house glowing with blue-purple light under the night. He saw Cheng Huan go in, but he was stopped outside the door.Only when resentment is reborn can the soul be truly liberated.He knows that this is the return journey that every soul saver must go through, and the end of the return journey is reincarnation.

The man in black slowly fell down, and a familiar deep voice sounded, and said quietly: "You think you can stop all this from happening based on your wishful thinking. Birth, old age, sickness and death, and the change of all things, this is the law of eternity."

Li Chengtian looked at the black shadow coldly, and said: "You are really haunted."

"Hmph!" Soi Ying sneered, "Soul Keeper, how about making a deal?"

Li Chengtian was dissatisfied: "Deal? What is your identity, and you are worthy of trading with me?"

The black shadow said faintly: "I am not worthy, so what about the life of another spirit saver?"

Li Chengtian frowned and said, "You arrested Song Qing?"

A ball of flames was burning in the black shadow's hands, and the black shadow slowly stirred the flames with his fingertips, saying: "You didn't think about it for too long."

"Say, what do you want?"

Heiying said: "Now it's not what I want, but what you want? You originally planned to control the spread of the totem, and use half your life in exchange for the freedom of the "degree" and "no degree" inside, I think, at this moment You should understand how naive this idea is."

Li Chengtian gritted his teeth, and said every word: "Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want?"

The black shadow turned around, looked at the house glowing with blue light in front of him, and said: "Looking for the place where the source of birth, hiding the thousand-year-old soul, Cheng Huan's salvation, was not a relief, but another curse. I want you to find this Place, use the blood essence of your soul guardian to light the colorful soul lamp to eliminate this curse."

Li Chengtian said angrily: "What curse? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Heiying sneered and said: "The souls of the dead migrate, and the soul book dies. When Cheng Huan is transcended, the world will become chaotic again, and all things will return to one. Those people who were looking for the tomb? Why did the undead suddenly migrate? Guardian of the Soul, I think you have lost your head in a relationship recently." The black shadow turned around suddenly, although he couldn't see his eyes, he was powerful.

Li Chengtian stepped back slightly, frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"When there is no light, there is no shadow. Since I didn't do anything wrong, does it matter who is it?" Hei Ying said.

"It's not a bad thing to say, since I was transferred, you have been pestering me everywhere."

"Entanglement? It's ridiculous!" The black shadow suddenly flew up, rushed to Li Chengtian and said, "Pangu opened the sky, the sky and the earth took shape, the sun and the moon shine together, you think the world can live in peace forever? Li Chengtian, where there is light, there is shadow, Jealousy, profit-seeking, ridicule, resentment? This disgusting feeling that has been inseparable for thousands of years has long been condensed together, as long as there is an opportunity, it can make a comeback!"

Li Chengtian flew up very quickly, slammed his palm down, and said: "No matter who you are? You don't deserve to mention his name!"

Heiying backed away in a hurry, and said with a sneer, "I didn't expect that you are still obsessed with your obsession. My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. In the end, I just don't want the balance between good and evil. When the time comes, everyone will be buried with you!"

Li Chengtian stopped his hands suddenly and said, "Is there an imbalance between good and evil?"

Li Chengtian wanted to ask again, but the black shadow had gradually dissipated, turning into dots of blue light and scattered in the air, leaving only his low voice saying: "I don't need to tell you, if you find the place of origin, the truth will naturally come to light."

The light that shrouded the house was completely dimmed, Li Chengtian hurried to the house, the moonlight shone into the house, covering Cheng Huan's back.Li Chengtian stretched out his hand, wanting to pat him on the shoulder, but his hand was hanging in the air, but it still didn't fall down.

Cheng Huan covered his forearm with his left hand, trembling uncontrollably.

A thought is born, and a thought is dead, just for a moment, hesitation entangled with attachment, causing severe pain in his brain, and when the pain dissipated, he suddenly thought of Song Qing.He didn't look back, and said lightly: "I sensed it, she's here." After that, he walked through the hall and walked straight to the backyard.

The door bolt fell to the ground, and Cheng Huan and Li Chengtian walked down the secret passage in the corner together.

"Wait a minute." Li Chengtian stopped suddenly, carefully inspected the surroundings, and raised the soul washing flute.

Cheng Huan stopped, turned slightly sideways, and watched the shining green light flow under Li Chengtian's flute.The darkness in the room was suddenly lit up, and several figures shook slightly against the wall.

Li Chengtian put down the flute for washing the soul, and walked quickly a few steps towards the person lying on the ground.Cheng Huan went down the steps in two steps, passed Li Chengtian, squatted down and patted Song Qing on the shoulder, and shouted: "Song Qing..."

Song Qing didn't respond, Cheng Huan shook his head at Li Chengtian.

Li Chengtian stood up, walked to the corner of the wall, counted the bones on the ground and said, "There are five corpses in total, please inform the team to bring a forensic doctor." He looked around and continued, "It's been too long, there shouldn't be much direct evidence. , it seems that we have to bother to interrogate the murderer."

Lin Le followed Song Qing into the ambulance, and the rest stayed at the scene to search for evidence.

Li Chengtian walked along the fence of the yard, thinking carefully.Cheng Huan came over and said, "What did you find?"

Li Chengtian pulled down a piece of dog's tail grass, put it in his hand and said: "In an abandoned factory, the weeds can grow so densely. You see, the height of the grass is also very strange. The ones in the front yard are about half a meter long. The backyard has become significantly lower, and the perimeter of these walls is only [-] to [-] centimeters, which looks like a new one."

Cheng Huan squatted down, followed the bushes to the corner of the wall, and said, "Although the signal of the tracker was cut off, the bug on Song Qing's body recorded her conversation with the murderer after she was kidnapped. Judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer I knew from the beginning that Song Qing was a public official, so when I came here, committing murder was not the ultimate goal at all."

Li Chengtian said: "Murder...or bury the body...Zhao Lianxin!"

Zhao Lianxin had just moved the five skeletons in the cellar to the car, when he heard Li Chengtian calling him, he hurried over and said, "Deputy Li, what's the matter?"

Li Chengtian said: "Ask a few brothers to bring a shovel and start digging along the low grass in the yard. Be careful when digging. There is already a lot of resentment in this place, so don't provoke other things indiscriminately."

It was already late at night, Li Chengtian looked at the overgrown yard, the brothers with dark circles under their eyes who hadn't slept all night, and the bones dug up one after another on the ground, he kept thinking about the words of the man in black: the migration of the dead, The soul book is dead, and those souls who don't match are not just a few people in the photo?

If, as he said, Cheng Huan's salvation is a curse, then if he can't be saved, where should Cheng Huan go?

The security guard, who had stayed up all night, was staring blankly at the camera at the entrance of the hospital with eyes like dead fish, when suddenly the camera shook, and all the screens flickered with snowflakes.The security guard wiped his eyes, watching the shots on more than a dozen screens disappear one after another, and reappear one after another the next moment.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and muttered, "Bad machine."

The little nurse in the inpatient department went around the ward and just returned to the nurse's station. Looking at the admission record opened on the table, she muttered, "Hey, why are things messed up again?"

She glanced at her colleague who was sleeping like a dead pig next to her, closed her notebook and sat down.The lights in the corridor trembled slightly, she yawned, and quickly fell asleep on the table.

A cloud of black mist fell on the ground and turned into a human shape. Li Chengtian pushed open the door of the ward, and sighed as he looked at the empty hospital bed. The windows of the ward were wide open, and the night wind in late autumn blew the curtains loudly.

He dodged again, jumped out of the window, walked up the outer wall, and landed on the outer edge of the roof, standing next to Song Qing who was wearing a hospital gown.

You can see the whole Jingcheng, the brightly lit roads and the darkness intertwined.

Song Qing's voice was low, as if she couldn't hear any extra emotions: "There are rumors in the shadows that the soul guard will make you immortal, live and die, and protect the living souls of all living beings into reincarnation."

Li Chengtian said: "The rumors are true."

Song Qing said: "Yinming still rumors that soul savers are just tools used by gods and ghosts to maintain the order of reincarnation, and they are the dirtiest existence among all living beings. Yinming has to use this intractable hostility to escort countless people with injustices. of evil spirits."

Li Chengtian said in a deep voice: "Although these words are outrageous, they are true."

A bitter smile flashed by, and Song Qing said, "I've been catching evil spirits for so many years, why haven't I seen a single one? The resentment all day and all night is blood mold, too tired."

Li Chengtian stared into the darkness without speaking.

Song Qing rolled up her sleeves, revealing the totem on her forearm. On the totem, one could vaguely see a person holding the sky with his hands on the ground, with a giant dragon entrenched around him, glowing with golden light.Carefully stroking the totem, she said, "Vice Li, how much time do I have?"

Li Chengtian glanced at Song Qing's arm, and said: "The totem is fully revealed, and the memories of your life will come back, and it will also be the time when you will be saved."

The corners of Song Qing's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes instantly softened. Now that she knew the date of return, she felt calmer and said, "That's fine, thank you for telling me this. After all, working with you will make you feel more relaxed and happier." .”

Hearing this, Li Chengtian turned his head to look at Song Qing, the expression in his eyes became more serious.

Song Qing stretched her waist and said: "It's getting late, I'm going back to sleep for a beauty sleep, you should go to bed earlier, you're not too young, your dark circles are almost as big as your big black bear. "Song Qing jumped down from the rooftop after finishing speaking.

Li Chengtian looked at the sky until his white belly was exposed and the night had sunk into the horizon. He remained motionless, waiting for the sun to rise completely and shine on the land of Jingcheng.
