Three poisons

The process of changing eyes is actually not very painful.

After changing, Xu Shuyan thought about Zhao Changdeng's appearance. Although his eyes were dull, he was still good-looking, so he wanted to see if he had reached a new level of beauty.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, before he could find the mirror, he realized that something was wrong with his surroundings—it was as if someone had covered his eyes with a veil with a magic effect, and everything he saw had double images, fascination Confused.

Stretching out his hand and groping forward, he turned his head in a daze, and looked at the black-haired young man sitting behind the table: "Zhao Changdeng, didn't you tell me that you are highly myopic?"

If it wasn't for his poor eyesight at the moment, he wouldn't have missed Zhao Changdeng looking at him with loving eyes like a mentally handicapped eye.

Zhao Changdeng stood up, looked around, and then said to Xu Shuyan, "Look around you."

Xu Shuyan subconsciously looked around——

Then he found that everything around him was confused, but beside his sewing machine, an old woman sat.Compared with the surrounding blur, the old woman was in high definition, and now she was staring at him blankly.

"..." Xu Shuyan was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, do you make clothes? I'm sorry, isn't our shop—grandma?"

In the middle of talking, he suddenly felt that this old woman was very kind and amiable, and she looked a bit like his own grandma.

...It's like a real grandma.

……………………… The problem is that his grandma has passed away for almost ten years.

At this time, a gust of cold night wind happened to blow in front of me.

Xu Shuyan only felt the cold sweat on his back "swish" off, and his whole body was cold from head to toe, and he retreated three steps in a row, until the old woman stood up from the sewing machine, raised her hand and wiped the sewing machine: "It's all falling It's gray, I wanted to ask you to wipe it a long time ago, Ah Yan, why are you so sloppy?"

"..."

This familiar tone, this familiar questioning, Xu Shuyan thought of a long time ago, when he came home from school, and just sat down on the chair in the yard, there was such a person who came out of the room tremblingly and asked: Ah Yan , You sloppy dog, have you washed your hands at home?

He raised his trembling fingers and pointed at the old woman. After thinking for a while, something seemed wrong and then shrunk his fingers back cowardly. Xu Shuyan turned his head to look at Zhao Changdeng. Zhao Changdeng was expressionless: "What did you see?"

The corners of Xu Shuyan's lips twitched.

Zhao Changdeng: "The first time you pass through Yin, there is always someone to lead the way, otherwise you won't even be able to find the door. Usually the guide is always a close relative who was alive, don't be afraid."

Xu Shuyan: "It's the first time I've seen a ghost, how hard can I not be afraid?"

Zhao Changdeng: "Don't be silly, do you want to keep the lights off?"

Xu Shuyan: "..."

He just stated a fact, how could he become a poor talker?

……

If the reunion with his grandmother who passed away for ten years at home brought Xu Shuyan a wave of shock, then when he walked into the hospital with the "creaking" "unextinguishable lamp", his shock gradually changed. Became numb.

Hospitals are places where birth, old age, sickness and death are carried.

In the corridor, the living people coming and going are still blurred, but there are also many "high-definition and three-dimensional" "people" filling the corridor——

In these war years, most of them can be easily identified.

Compared with other artifacts, "Immortal Lamp" is the first of the eight artifacts, but its appearance is simple and unpretentious.

It was probably too old, and the whole lamp looked crumbling, except that the lamp holder wrapped around the lamp could vaguely see the pattern of hollowed-out gilt patterns, but the metal was not dull and black.

In such a dim light, Xu Shuyan came to the end of the corridor - he saw at the end of the corridor besides the soldiers standing guard, there was a figure almost hiding in the shadows...

The military uniform worn by the soldier was already very dirty, there was a huge black hole on his chest, the blood had already drained dry, and the military uniform on his body was stained an ugly dark brown by the dry blood, at this time he was looking blankly. Looking out the window, he turned a deaf ear to the approach of Xu Shuyan and others.

This person looks familiar.

Xu Shuyan thought for a while, and remembered that he was another adjutant next to Gu Rong, surnamed Wang, who was younger than Adjutant Xiao Tang, and may be less than 25 years old this year.

Xu Shuyan stepped forward, his lips moved, Lieutenant Wang turned his head and smiled at him, the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat at once——

At this moment, he felt that he had a little understanding of what Zhao Changdeng meant when he said, "I've been watching the dead for a long time, and I want to see the living."

Death has always been accompanied by a suffocating silence of despair.

Xu Shuyan took a small step back, the indelible lamp in his hand swayed slightly, he stared at Adjutant Xiao Wang, and asked for a while, "Is there anything I haven't done in time, said in time, or anyone I haven't had time to visit?"

After he finished speaking, he clearly felt Adjutant Xiao Wang smiling and shaking his head.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand again to indicate that the answer just now was not counted. He pointed to the inside of the ward, and then pointed behind Xu Shuyan——

The person in the ward was talking about his boss, and behind Xu Shuyan... Xu Shuyan also turned his head at this time, and saw Lieutenant Tang hurriedly approaching here with a medical record in his pocket.

Adjutant Xiao Tang naturally couldn't see Adjutant Xiao Wang, but he just looked at the young master of the Xu family looking at him with a complicated face, thinking that there was something wrong with being the commander, so he hurried over to ask.

The black-haired young man made a gesture to signal him to be calm. Even though his vision was blurry at the moment, he still saw the thick dark circles under the eyes of the young adjutant. He must have not rested for a few days.

Looking back at Adjutant Xiao Wang behind him, he was also staring at Adjutant Tang's dark circles.

Xu Shuyan said casually: "The commander is fine, but Lieutenant Xiao Wang hopes you have a good rest."

The words came out of impulse, but Adjutant Tang's lips twitched, and his eyes turned red.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shuyan felt uncomfortable again.

Adjutant Xiao Tang always knew that their ex-wife was a little different from ordinary people, so he was not surprised at the moment. He just took a step forward and looked around Xu Shuyan in a daze——finally, his eyes fell on him precisely. Behind him, passing through Adjutant Xiao Wang's body, he asked blankly, "Ahang, are you there?"

Speaking of hot tears rolled out.

Lieutenant Xiao Wang just stared at him with a pale face, and raised his hand as if to wipe away his tears, but only his fingers trembled, he sighed, but he still didn't raise his hand after all.

The two were clearly standing face to face, but they were separated by Yin and Yang, unable to speak or touch each other.

Xu Shuyan was stuck in his throat, his Adam's apple rolled down with difficulty, he turned around and pushed open the door of Gu Rong's ward as if fleeing, the soft sobbing of Adjutant Tang was blocked by the door.

"Do you regret it and feel that you are troubled?"

At this time, Zhao Changdeng asked softly behind him.

Xu Shuyan lowered his head and said nothing.

"It's okay, I was the same as you at first, just get used to it." Zhao Changdeng said in a calm tone, "If you get used to it, you can learn to keep your mouth shut."

Xu Shuyan didn't turn around to talk to him.

He just solemnly placed the unextinguishable lamp in front of Gu Rong's bed——

I saw the wick flickering, as if being ignited with a "pop" by an invisible hand, the dark yellow and soft flame lit up from the wick, and the faint light illuminated the pale face of the man lying on the hospital bed.

"The unextinguishable light is on. After seven days, Gu Rong will be temporarily removed from the judge's order book. The next time it is written up, it will be a long time later."

Zhao Changdeng glanced at the unextinguishable lamp, and said slowly——

"It's time for you to go to the underworld to report. The new Nie Jingtai extradites should go and say hello to the ghost king at the top... although he doesn't necessarily care about it."

Xu Shuyan put down the lamp and turned to look at Gu Rong.

He raised his hand and looked at his fingertips, which seemed to be empty.

He looked at the man's wrist with distinct wrist bones.

"Well," he whispered, "here we go."

……

When crossing the stone bridge, Xu Shuyan looked at the old woman walking in front with her hands behind her back, feeling a little unreal in her heart.

The so-called underworld seems to be more simple than imagined, there is no howling wind, cold wind, and strange monsters and ghosts.

There is no sunshine, and there is a field after crossing the bridge.

It is the scenery of autumn, and the fields are golden.

There are "people" farming in the field, wearing coarse clothes, except that their faces are a little pale, and they look like Yang Jian. It's just that after crossing the bridge, everything around them is very quiet, no one speaks, even the air flowing The sound seemed to disappear.

The "grandmother" who was walking in front didn't pay much attention to him, as if she was afraid that she would break the silence here by opening her mouth.

Walking the long Huangquan Road, passing the Wangchuan River, and passing the Naihe Bridge, I saw the new dead ghost crying bitterly on the Wangxiang Terrace, and sitting under the Sansheng Stone patiently waiting for my other half, ready to spend the last day together Cheng's crazy man complains about women.

After crossing the vicious dog ridge, the sound of dogs barking can be heard, how many lonely ghosts have been eaten by vicious dogs here, three souls and seven souls have been devoured--I have seen the scene that it is difficult to be a human being, but it is not easy to be a ghost... until a wild ghost came from Taking out a steamed bun from his arms and throwing it at the wild dogs, Xu Shuyan survived safely. Then Xu Shuyan remembered why there is a custom of stuffing a steamed bun in the hands of relatives in the north after they pass away.

There is also Jinji Ridge, where lonely ghosts and wild ghosts can spend their lives safely by taking out their relatives after death and putting them on their chests and dumping grains.

The road is too long.

Xu Shuyan didn't know how long he had been walking, and finally arrived at the legendary Fengdu City——

The gloomy city gate looks like a besieged city. The siege seems to have no gates, but there is a plaque of "Fengdu City". Under the plaque, two little ghosts are guarding, one with a green face and fangs, the other with a red face and glaring eyes. He holds a mace, but he is short and only reaches the waist.

Fortunately, along the way, Xu Shuyan had already seen the strange things, so he didn't make too much fuss at the moment.

On the contrary, those two little devils smelled the breath of a living person from a distance, and their whole body became vigilant——

"Who is coming in front! If there is a way in the world, if you don't go, there is no way to hell!"

One of the little ghosts shouted.

"I'm the new extraditionist of Niejingtai," Xu Shuyan stepped forward and said respectfully, "I'm here to pay homage to the Ghost Emperor!"

When those two brats heard——

Nie Jingtai's extradition of people is indeed the only official position in the underworld that is held by living people.

Take a closer look, as expected, the visitor's eyes are empty, black and white are distinct, they are the unique "yin and yang eyes" of the famous "Immortal Lantern" host.

The kid who had scolded Xu Shuyan paused for a while, and his attitude improved after a while: "Since he is extradited by Niejingtai, he will report to the first hall, Qin Guangwang Hall. This is Fengdu, the place where the ghost emperor is—"

"That's right, but my predecessor said..."

"What?" The two little ghosts looked at each other, then turned to Xu Shuyan, "Didn't he tell you that the Ghost Emperor is not in Fengdu, he has been away for more than ten days, and we have no way of knowing when he will come back."

"...Ah?" Xu Shuyan was a little confused, "What did he do?"

The two little ghosts immediately looked at him like a fool.

Xu Shuyan: "...Ghost Emperor has gone to the mortal world?"

Kid: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Xu Shuyan: "What's the ghost emperor's name, why don't I go look for him?"

The little devil wondered if the extradition person of this session of Nie Jingtai had a bad mind?

"Ghost Emperor's surname is one character, one character is wide," the little ghost taunted, "You can go find it and ask the wild flowers if they have seen the Demon Emperor who was born from the condensate of evil in the chaos of heaven and earth. They must know each other."

"..."

Tolerance.

Xu Shuyan thought blankly, the name sounds familiar.

The author has something to say: The scene of the underworld was told by an old man who passed through the shadows at home when he was in high school
