Seeing that He Jianfei had nothing to say, the old Taoist smiled and said, "Okay, my wish is over. I will no longer care about the affairs of the world. The eighty-year debt has been paid off today." After saying that, he asked Zijinbo Catch him. He Jianfei was stunned, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and asked: "Senior, what do you want to do?" The old Taoist said: "Don't worry, I won't steal the purple golden bowl, I just want to take that devil away." He Jianfei said, "If you want to take away the purple golden bowl, I will I have no opinion yet, but it is absolutely impossible to take away that evil ghost. The end of the evil ghost road is all tied to it. Besides, it was conquered with the purple golden bowl, and it should be under the jurisdiction of Mount Wutai." The old Taoist said in a daze: "You The second half of the sentence is really unreasonable. This evil ghost is obviously the fate of my master and me. What does it have to do with Mount Wutai? It would make sense to lend it to you to suppress the evil ghost." He Jianfei said: "Then how are you going to deal with it? "The old Taoist said: "Of course I will beat him to death in front of the master's tomb..." He Jianfei interrupted: "No! The crime of a powerful ghost will not lead to death..." The old Taoist said angrily: "He Jianfei, you are simply telling lies with your eyes open. He almost killed people in a city and even killed my master. How dare you say that the crime will not lead to death?" He Jianfei said loudly: "You keep saying that you only remember the hatred from eighty years ago. Your master also said that he left behind In this world, killing people is in line with natural principles, and injustice must be redressed. What's more, do you know that after possessing Aqiang, one of the two heroes on campus, he once turned the tide and saved more people in the school's fire than in the two cities combined? There are still many people. The merits and demerits are equal. Our magic world has deceived it before. If we continue to make random decisions like this, aren't we afraid of divine punishment and disaster?" The old Taoist body suddenly trembled and murmured: "Calamity?" After a while, He laughed and said: "Okay, okay, you are so lucky to have this disciple in Mount Wutai, Zhi Zhi!" He waved his whisk and floated away.

He Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old Taoist left. He was afraid that the old Taoist would get angry and start a magic fight. Even a hundred He Jianfei would not be his opponent. First, he rescued the senior brother and briefly explained how the veteran helped him. I don’t know if it’s because he just came back from a life-and-death situation. Master Chanyue’s face turned blue and white. After He Jianfei finished speaking, he asked, “Brother, do you know this Taoist priest?” Master Chanyue shook his head and said, “No. We two We all serve Master together. Since you don’t know, how can I know?” He Jianfei sneered secretly and did not say anything. He just discussed with Master Chan Yue how to deal with the aftermath, and finally decided that Master Chan Yue would stay here to destroy the temple and drive out ghosts, while He Jianfei would Take Old Man Li and Zijinbo to solve the problem of the Wrongful Ghost Road.

When Old Man Li woke up, it was already the next morning. A soft ray of sunlight shines on the window, and the white window screen gently falls at the foot of the bed. He Jianfei was sitting and reading the diary. Old Man Li sat up with a sound, his eyes facing each other, silent and speechless. Who would have expected that all his hard work would lead to an outcome he did not want to see. After a long while, Old Uncle Li asked: "What is written in that diary?" He Jianfei pondered, and Old Uncle Li suddenly realized: "Could it be..." He Jianfei said, "That's right! There is a complete and detailed record of winter root in it. The cause of death, more precisely, was Dong Ou's grievance." Old Uncle Li's body trembled slightly. Fifty years ago, he hated Dong Ou because of A Qiang's death. Who knew that the friend he had sympathized with for nearly half a century turned out to be murderer. "Show it to me." He Jianfei stared at it for a long time and finally handed him the diary.

"When I first saw Dongyao, I fell in love with her completely. Her holy temperament and flawless face made me infatuated, and her smile made me dare not be impulsive. So, I started to fuck her hard, and The student union competed for cadres, striving to get ahead, just to win her favor. Finally, my hard work paid off, and I became the president of the student union. Dong Ou also began to pay attention to me slowly. I was overjoyed... Until one day I found the biggest Regret - I can't marry her, and the one who benefits can only be Aqiang, not me. I'm not willing to give in! I'm unwilling! The only one who can be worthy of Donghao is me, not Aqiang. To get She has only one way, and that is to turn her into an innocent soul who will never be reincarnated and stay with me for tens of thousands of years! I am not killing her because I want to absorb her aura, but because I love her. ! ...So, I sneaked into the medical research laboratory as the president of the student union, stole a piece of cancer radioactive material, made a pendant and gave it to her. I will never forget her look when she saw the pendant. She was so happy that she seemed to be on the verge of death. To heaven…”

Old Uncle Li raised his hand and threw the diary far away: "Oh my god! Why can I only watch the most cruel game in the world?!" He Jianfei said calmly: "Don't you want to read on? The following is about you. "Old man Li looked at He Jianfei in confusion and said: "What did he write about me? Slander? Or abuse?" He Jianfei said: "You shouldn't say that about him, he is still your great benefactor!" After speaking, he went over and picked up the diary. Get up and give it to him.

Uncle Li opened the diary again with hesitation, and saw it clearly written: "Xiao Li knows me too well. People who know more secrets often find out the truth. I can't tolerate him, but I don't know why every time. I couldn't do it. Seeing him running up and down looking for me happily, I realized that I couldn't live without him. I already had something that the ghost world shouldn't have - friendship... I started to care about him, because In more than a hundred years, including when I was alive, no one has been so sincere and enthusiastic to me... I found that there was an air of resentment surrounding him, and I didn't know some lonely ghost wanted to take his life. I rushed to him while he was sleeping. I got rid of the grievance, but he woke up. Alas, he discovered that I have magic. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this secret for a long time. I have to step up the pace of killing Dongyao... "

Old Uncle Li sighed, closed the diary and said, "This diary alone is enough for me to end my life." He Jianfei said, "Then you are being sentimental. His love for Dongyao is perverted, but he is not I asked you to go down and accompany him, but his feelings for you are normal." Old man Li Yangyang said in the diary in his hand: "He just killed Dongyao, why did he involve a group of twenty-three people? He didn't say anything about such scandals. It's clear." He Jianfei smiled and said, "You can't blame him, it's none of his business." Old man Li was stunned: "It's none of his business? Is it none of my business?" He Jianfei did not answer his question, but asked: "Who told you about protecting the stone and protecting the seat?" Old Man Li blurted out: "It's A Qiang." As soon as the words came out, he knew that he was wrong and said quickly: "No, it's that fierce ghost." He Jianfei said: " Then you are wrong again, that one is the real Aqiang." Mr. Li was suddenly confused as if he had fallen into five layers of clouds: "Then you said..." He Jianfei said: "The ghost came up, but it did not replace Aqiang. Aqiang's soul still exists, but he has been suppressed for a long time and cannot act independently. It was not until after he was admitted to college that when Aqiang faced the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, his righteousness greatly suppressed Li Gui's soul. ability, so Aqiang's soul was able to awaken for the first time in twenty years. After awakening, Aqiang's soul coexisted with the ghost. Although he still could not control his body independently, he already had his own consciousness, and after absorbing Sun Yat-sen's righteousness, he could have a short period of time. It takes a period of time to control its body. And Li Gui obviously didn't notice this. In order to implement its plan as soon as possible, it sometimes has to come out of the body, which gives Aqiang's soul more room for movement. Aqiang's soul knows After discovering this evil plan, I tried my best to stop it, but in the end it was too late. The relationship here is very complicated, do you understand?"

Old Man Li was silent for a while and then said: "Your reasoning is perfect, but the fact may not be the case." He Jianfei sighed: "Now, do you still want to defend him? Yes, if it is the real Aqiang, he may not be able to achieve 'campus double' Xiong'..." Old man Li suddenly raised his head and said: "He... where is he? I mean... that fierce ghost, can I see him?" He Jianfei stood up and said: "Come with me, I'm staying by your side just to I want to take you to see him. After all, there are too many inside stories involved in the Ghost Road, and no one else is qualified to explain it except him."

When he saw the purple golden bowl again, Old Man Li couldn't help but choked up with sobs. Old man Li didn't know what to call him for a moment. He held it in for a long time before he said: "This... this gentleman..." The familiar voice came from the bowl: "Is it Xiao Li? You should call me Aqiang, ugh. ! I'm used to you calling me Aqiang." As soon as he said this, Mr. Li couldn't help but burst into tears and cried: "Aqiang, you are so stupid! Why did you do that when you knew you couldn't be with that woman? ? If you continue to live a good life, won't we always be good friends?" The voice came faintly: "You are the big fool, Xiao Li. Since you already know that I am a evil ghost, you still want to be with me. I am a good friend. Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" Old Man Li cried: "You won't! I know you won't! The Aqiang I know and I are die-hard buddies whose lives are intertwined. You will always be in my heart. The object of my admiration." Li Gui said: "I made you endure such a painful fact, don't you hate me?" Old Man Li said: "Why do I hate you? You taught me so much and saved me again. , I accept your kindness and accept your love, even if I have to be cut into pieces, I don’t dare to complain.”

"Hahaha, I don't dare to complain! It's not in vain that I made your friend, even if I lose my soul, it's worth it." The laughter was as bold as before.

He Jianfei watched coldly from the side and saw the two of them answering one-on-one. Old Li's mood fluctuated too much, and Aqiang was too nostalgic about his past relationship. If he continued like this, not only would he not be able to ask anything, but it might also be detrimental to Old Li's old health. Seeing that there was an opening at this time, he hurriedly interjected: "The past is over. The fact that we can see each other again today also shows that the fate has not been extinguished. But now is not the time to be excited about reunion. The road of injustice has not been settled yet, and there are many doubts. Please Senior Aqiang explained it clearly, so that it can benefit the world and atone for the crimes he committed in the past." Aqiang sighed and said: "Yes, it is indeed too complicated. I believe that I am smart, but in the end I can't control it. This ending was unexpected by everyone. The real Aqiang is not a pustule. His wit is not inferior to mine. The plan was so rigorous. I lurked in the temple for twenty years before I figured out the twists and turns. You Do you want to hear me carry out that despicable plan or..." He Jianfei said hurriedly: "Just start from the day you possessed me." A Qiang laughed and said: "He Jianfei, you don't have to take such pains to hide it. Zijin The bowl can't make me completely unconscious. I heard all the conversations between you and the old Taoist priest. This kind of trick of duplicity and hiding a knife in a smile is something you often play in the magic world, right?" Old Man Li asked inexplicably: "What trick?" He Jianfei said awkwardly: "I don't care about these seniors... You must hate us people in the magic world, right?" "Hate?" Aqiang murmured, "Since the day Dong Ou died, I have no hatred anymore. I I just wanted to kill someone because I wanted to go out and explain to her early. Well, let me start with the reason for the possession."

"I was framed by the Taoist priest and accepted the incense sacrifice, dreaming of one day becoming one of the immortals. But I know that in order to become an immortal, even if I have incense, I have to practice for at least hundreds of years. I have to squat in a narrow space for many years. There was no piety on the faces of the people offering sacrifices at all, only impatience to deal with perfunctory matters. Listening to the birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers outside, thinking of the freedom I had before, I hated death so much and longed for survival. I don’t know what the outside world has become. Years have passed, decades have passed, and there are fewer and fewer people worshiping me, but I have no resentment, I am just bored and panicked. I want to walk outside, I want to see the blue sky and white clouds, and see the birds and fish. After so many years, my desire for revenge has faded, and I no longer want to eat people. My grievances are too serious to be reincarnated, and I will linger in a corner forgotten by people. I refuse the painful punishment of reincarnation. I just want to go out and taste the taste of freedom again. My thoughts at that time were so innocent that I just wanted to go out and have a look." Aqiang's voice trembled slightly, seeming to reveal the pain of being abandoned and hated. He Jianfei lowered his head sadly. The Taoist master used a small temple to trap Aqiang. The purpose was to wear down Aqiang's edge for a long time and finally weaken his magic power. This cruel and inhumane method is like dealing with a cat that wants to escape, tying it up at home, and tying it until it loses the will to escape. But it’s a cat’s nature to be outside. But He Jianfei didn't dare to say it out loud, fearing that if Aqiang got angry, the reason for the unjust ghost's path would be unknown.

"Suddenly, one day, I noticed something moving outside the temple gate. It turned out to be an innocent and cute child lying on the threshold and smiling at me. There are many people living around here. In the past, there were always children who did not listen to adults. Advice, come here to play. The sound of their jokes is almost the only fun I have. But that child seems a little strange. He doesn't play with other children. He just sits alone on the door of my temple, tilting his head. Look at me, just smile, very innocent smile. My statue is the most ferocious. No child has ever dared to come in and play, but that boy can sit there for an hour, with an unpredictable expression on his face. Smile. Ah! Just when I was confused, my heart suddenly opened up. Could it be that God knew that I had been bored for too long, so he gave me this opportunity to get out? I was so ecstatic and obsessed that I forgot The taboo in the ghost world said: "You... you come here... let me out..." The boy didn't look surprised at all, as if he already knew that I could speak. He stood up calmly, patted the dust on his body, and walked towards me. Come, with that unchanging smile on my face. That child is Aqiang, and I became one with Aqiang. In order to repay the kindness of that child's body, I did not kill his soul, but just imprisoned him In the deepest part of my heart, it eventually led to the tragedy in the future. Alas, even if I comment on it carefully today, I still can’t give an answer as to whether he should be killed. Perhaps, this is fate.”

"You said that child automatically..." Old man Li was puzzled. Halfway through the question, he turned to He Jianfei, hoping he would give some reasonable explanation. Unfortunately, He Jianfei was sitting aside expressionlessly, busy taking notes.

The calm on the surface failed to calm the turmoil in his heart. He Jianfei secretly sighed in his heart, God's will, God's will, senior, why can't you understand it? Old man Li watched intently on the side, and finally saw that He Jianfei was flustered. He put down his pen and joked: "I will help you find out about this problem. What's next?" Aqiang said: "What's next? I'm next. I returned home. My ignorant parents didn't find anything. I successfully went to elementary school, junior high school, and high school. I was always far ahead, and finally I was admitted to that university with the first place in the province." Mr. Li said: "With Aqiang's Ability, it is not difficult to achieve these things." Aqiang said: "Yeah, who would have thought that there is a shadow lurking behind the glory. When I entered the university gate, the bronze statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen glowed in the sun It emits a dazzling luster, seeming to indicate the ominous light of the future.”

"The first night I slept in the dormitory, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. I remembered that from elementary school until I went to college, I was the absolute best among my peers. I became the only hope of my parents in the mountain village and the greatest expectation of the ancient family. That This kind of honor and favor that I have never had before makes me very satisfied and happy. I vow to be filial to my parents who did not give birth to me, and repay all the people who are kind to me. I will be a good person in this life! However, God, After all, I was not tolerated. Just three days after I swore this oath, God played a joke on me and made me meet her.

"I never deny that I love her. It's the kind of love at first sight, the kind of love that makes me want to look at her forever after seeing her for the first time. She is the most beautiful girl in the class, but she is not the one I like. Her beauty, all I care about is her smile—the corners of her mouth slowly curve upward into a perfect arc, with two layers of light ripples appearing on both sides, and her eyes are filled with tenderness that can see through your heart. At that moment, all the beautiful things The scenery turned pale in an instant. I often leaned on the balcony and thought wildly. For her smile, I was willing to pay any price, even the price of sin.

"She is beautiful, gentle, and kind. It seems that she has all the advantages of a girl. She is so excellent that she is naturally loved by three thousand people. The boys surround her with stars. In order to win her favor, everyone does everything they can to win her favor. I was racking my brains to get ahead. Later, I easily won the position of President of the Student Union, which finally officially ended this competition. Then there was a fire in the whole school... "

"Stop it!" He Jianfei interrupted, "You haven't said how you won the position of President of the Student Union? And what happened when the whole school was on fire?" Old Man Li asked: "What does this have to do with the Road of Wrongful Ghosts?" He Jianfei said He shouted: "Of course it does matter, because how did Aqiang become the two heroes on campus? Senior Donglu almost played a decisive influence and role in his emotional changes. Would such an outstanding girl favor a pustule boy? You It seems like she’s not attracted to you.”

"You..." Old Man Li was so angry that he had nothing to say. He Jianfei's strong words actually had his own agenda. Since Aqiang and Mr. Li don't like publicity, the inside story of the campus duo was not recorded in the small tin box. After more than fifty years of evolution, it has long been beyond recognition. As the biggest myth of this university, He Jianfei undoubtedly has a strong interest in it, and he can take advantage of the opportunity to find out more about it. A Qiang chuckled and said, "So He Jianfei, you are so curious, so I will tell you slowly." He Jianfei knew that A Qiang had guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled awkwardly. So Aqiang described in detail these two major events, which were regarded as turning points in the history of the school's student union. With Mr. Li's narration and supplement, the history of the vigorous confrontation between the two generations of student unions and the school unfolded in front of He Jianfei's eyes in a complete and true way. scene.
