Chapter 50: That pair of... red eyes!

Views:

"You have been in this unit for so long,

Don’t you know that there is a backdoor here?”

The back door here does not refer to the unspoken rules of interpersonal relationships, but means that in addition to the front door, the Confucian Temple does have a back door.

There is no love without reason in this world. According to mechanical calculations, a pie falling from the sky can kill a person.

If the dwarf old man just gave him a few advice and said some mysterious words, imitating the way Patriarch Bodhi knocked Sun Wukong on the back of the head three times, Zhou Ze might have thought about it carefully and felt that it was more realistic and down-to-earth.

But the strange thing was that the old dwarf was so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Zhou Ze felt it was a little unreal.

Could it be that in recent years there has also been a trend among ghosts to learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds

Especially after the old man refused to enter the Confucian Temple with him, Zhou Ze became cautious and careful. The Confucian Temple was not very big, so Zhou Ze entered from the main gate and immediately went out from the back door.

Facts have proved that Zhou Ze's choice was correct.

Just as the old man himself said, even human hearts are separated by the belly, let alone ghosts

Furthermore, what Zhou Ze found a little absurd was that the reason why the old man wanted to take revenge on him was actually because of that...

He saved a patient, and then half a month later the patient got into a car accident while driving under the influence, and the dwarf old man's grandson also died in the accident.

The dwarf old man actually took his anger out on himself, thinking that if he had not tried his best to save the patient's life, his grandson would not have died.

What a unique train of thought.

"I was a doctor in my previous life. It is my duty to cure diseases and save lives." Zhou Ze smiled and said, "I don't think I have done anything wrong. It is really unreasonable for you to hate me to this extent.

Perhaps you just felt that your descendants were cut off, and that you had served this clay statue for sixty years in vain, so you were resentful and wanted to find someone to vent your anger, and you chose me?"

The old dwarf stared at Zhou Ze fiercely, licked his lips, and said in a hoarse voice:

"This is the sin you committed. Damn him, why did you save him?"

"In the eyes of doctors, only those who die after all efforts have been made to save the patient are considered dead. I don't agree with your reasoning, and the so-called cause and effect is even more bullshit."

If the people you saved committed something wrong and the consequences were all attributed to you, wouldn't that be ridiculous

Zhou Ze remembered that a British veteran wrote in his memoirs that he personally captured the Führer during World War I. He had the opportunity to turn a blind eye and shoot the dwarf, but he did not do so and took him as a prisoner of war.

Does it mean that all the evils committed by the Third Reich in the future will be blamed on that British veteran

Zhou Ze shook his head. It was impossible to reason with this guy. The next moment, the nails on Zhou Ze's ten fingers began to grow longer, and black aura swirled back and forth around his fingertips.

"You are going to destroy the younger ones and take the older ones with you?" the dwarf old man said angrily, "This is the Confucian Temple, the resting place of the saints. Even the legitimate ghost messenger dare not act so presumptuously!"

"Fuck you."

Zhou Ze walked directly towards the dwarf old man.

"I only follow one principle. You just wanted to kill me, so I'm going to kill you now!

It is not convenient to avenge the past life now, but if the present grudge continues to be brought to the fore, then Zhou Ze’s temper would be too good!

I can’t do it to living people, but can I do it to ghosts

The dwarf old man wanted to escape, but Zhou Ze grabbed him with his hand and pulled him back hard!

“Crash!”

The old dwarf let out a scream, and his body became even more transparent.

"I don't want to go to hell, I don't want to go to hell, saint, save me, save me!"

What a pity,

Those clay statues in the Confucian Temple are still as still as mountains. If they really have spirits, why would they let the dwarf old man's family completely cut off from incense

"Who said I'm going to send you to hell?" Zhou Ze smiled, "Do you think you still have a chance to go to hell?"

After saying that, Zhou Ze stabbed forward directly, and then spread out his hands. The anger accumulated in his heart exploded at this moment, and the soul of the dwarf old man collapsed directly!

It's very simple.

Very straightforward,

Before beating up Bai Yingying, Zhou Ze didn't know he was such a good fighter;

And now, he has full confidence in his own strength, especially the ability of ghosts. Although the reason why the dwarf old man could be easily solved was also largely related to the fact that his soul was weak after sacrificing merits for a whole decade.

Zhou Ze didn't know if there would be any side effects from doing this, nor did he know if his decision of not even giving the old man a chance to go to hell was in line with the plan in the little Lolita's mind.

But if you keep holding it in like a turtle, you always feel like you will get yourself into trouble.

After brushing off the dust on his shoulders, Zhou Ze took out his cell phone and hailed a taxi.

After getting in the car, the driver was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to give Zhou Ze a cigarette, which made Zhou Ze feel a little "flattered" for a while. Then, while smoking and chatting with the driver perfunctorily,

At the same time, he secretly burned the car door with a burning cigarette butt.

The car door was not burned through.

Zhou Ze felt at ease, but he was actually a little tired from the last paper cart ride.

It was already one in the morning when we returned to the bookstore. Bai Yingying was sitting behind the counter looking at the computer, operating the mouse somewhat awkwardly.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Zhou Ze was about to go upstairs to rest when he found Bai Yingying still sitting behind the computer motionless.

How can she sleep if she doesn’t go upstairs

Zhou Ze walked behind Bai Yingying and found that the female corpse was actually playing a single-player game called Beach Landing, and she was playing very excitedly.

"Take a break." Zhou Ze reminded.

"Oh." Bai Yingying responded but didn't react.

"I said, take a break." Zhou Ze raised his voice.

"Oh, okay!" Bai Yingying stuck out her tongue, quit the game, and went upstairs obediently.

There were two mats on the second floor, and the freezer was temporarily moved to the corner. Each person lay on a mat. If an outsider accidentally came in and went up to the second floor, he might think there were two corpses lying there on the mats.

"Boss, are you tired today?" Bai Yingying asked tentatively.

Zhou Ze didn't reply. He didn't want to talk more about what happened tonight, especially the fact that he had passed by his home many times without entering. There was really nothing to brag about.

Seeing that Zhou Ze ignored her, Bai Yingying closed her eyes obediently. A little Yin energy continued to emanate from her body, which lowered the temperature around them and allowed Zhou Ze to slowly relax.

Hmm,

Go to sleep.

… …

“Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…”

Like the sound of boiling water,

Zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes and found himself floating on a pool of water, surrounded by heat waves, as if he was lying in a large bathroom pool.

In the distance, there is a wide but muddy road, and groups of white figures are moving forward numbly along the road.

This place feels so familiar.

Zhou Ze sat up slowly and found that he could actually sit on the water without falling.

“You’re here too.”

A man's voice sounded beside Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze turned his head suddenly and saw a young man in a sweatshirt standing next to him.

Next to the man in the sweatshirt, there is a small figure crawling, like a cat.

The man was wearing a hoodie, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Zhou Ze felt very familiar with him.

But for a moment, Zhou Ze couldn't figure out who he was.

"Don't be nervous, this is a dream." The man in the hoodie said, "Zhuang Zhou dances with butterflies. As dead people, it is very common for us to dream of returning to hell."

"Who are you?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Does the name have any meaning here?"

The man asked back.

Zhou Ze was speechless for a moment. Indeed, the man in the hoodie said it very clearly. Only the dead will dream of returning to hell. We are all dead. What is the point in telling each other our names

"They are coming to arrest me." said the man in the hoodie.

"Catch you?" Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, "Catch you back to hell?"

“Heh…” the man in the hoodie laughed.

Then, the man in the hoodie turned around and prepared to leave, and the cat beside him slowly followed him and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Zhou Ze thought of something in his mind, and immediately said: "Are you the one from Rongcheng

An employee of the Taoist priest's shop? "

The man in the hoodie stopped and turned his head to look at Zhou Ze, "Employee?"

"Isn't it... isn't it?"

"Yes, that's right. Do you know that old Taoist?" the other party asked.

"I guess so." Zhou Ze responded.

"Oh." The man in the hoodie pointed around. The white fog around him was getting thicker and thicker. He said, "I'm about to wake up from the dream."

"This is the first time I've had this kind of dream." Zhou Ze said.

"You'll get used to it slowly." The man in the hoodie seemed to want to talk a few more words because of Zhou Ze and the old Taoist priest. He was no longer in a hurry to leave. He pointed at the pool of water under his feet and said, "Do you remember this pool?"

Zhou Ze looked down at his feet and nodded.

"Go down!"

The man in the hoodie walked up to Zhou Ze, put his hands on his shoulders, and then the two of them sank into the pool together.

The water in the lake is extremely clear and visibility is very high.

"Have you noticed that something is missing?" asked the man in the hoodie.

"That...that woman...is gone."

Zhou Ze looked around the lake and discovered something was wrong. The faceless woman whom he met when he first went to hell was gone!

"Oh." The man in the hoodie responded, and then Zhou Ze saw two reddish rays appear under the man's hat. These were his eyes.

Blood red eyes!

For a moment, a overwhelming sense of fear began to come over me.

A terrible sense of crisis suddenly came.

The nails on Zhou Ze's ten fingers also grew out, and a black halo appeared in his eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Ze asked warily.

The man in the hoodie smiled and pointed at him, "Look at yourself."

Zhou Ze lowered his head and looked down at himself.

He was surprised to find that

There were layers of black hair wrapped around his body, and he himself couldn't even notice when these hairs appeared.

"She's already come to see you," the hoodie man reminded.

… …

The early morning sunshine gave people a warm feeling. Xu Qinglang made a cup of tea, moved a rattan chair and sat in front of the store to bask in the sun. No one would order takeout at this time, so he was happy to be free.

A taxi stopped at the intersection ahead, and a girl who looked like a high school student got out.

The girl was very pretty, with a little baby fat on her face, and she was already a half-grown beauty.

The girl walked to the door of the library and saw that it was locked. She immediately kicked the door:

"Xu Le, come out here you bastard!"

But no response.

Xu Qinglang took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you want to see him about?"

"My sister has been on sick leave at home for more than a week. She locks herself in the house every day and doesn't want to go out. She has no appetite. It must be that bastard Xu Qinglang has made my sister angry again!

I will call him back today and ask him to apologize to my sister."

"Your sister?" Xu Qinglang figured it out. "Your sister must have been very tired last night."

"What do you mean?" asked the sister-in-law, frowning.

"It's not interesting. Children shouldn't butt in on adults' love affairs. Just take care of your own boyfriend." Xu Qinglang looked like he was educating a little girl.

"You are such a weird person, don't think that I won't beat you just because you are pretty!

Is it your turn to speak about our family affairs? "

My sister-in-law raised her hand, indicating that I really wanted to smoke!

Xu Qinglang uttered a "tsk" and said leisurely: "Don't worry, your sister and your brother-in-law have a good relationship."

In fact, there is something Xu Qinglang didn't say, but said in his heart: Dr. Lin looks like a very traditional woman, who would have thought that she could be so open-minded.

The speed of overcoming mental knots and embracing a new life is so fast.

Tsk tsk,

As expected, the power of love is indeed strong and incomprehensible. Throughout the ages, countless infatuated men and women have turned into moths and flew into the flame called love.

"What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless. Forget it. Give your sister some advice. Tell her that her Cayenne has more space than the white Maserati, and it's more comfortable for people to do things in it."

"Maserati?" asked the sister-in-law in confusion.

"Yeah, isn't it your sister's new car?"

"My sister hasn't been out for more than a week. Where did she get a new car, a Maserati?"

The sister-in-law looked at Xu Qinglang in confusion, then seemed to have thought of something and kicked the door of the bookstore again:

"Okay, Xu Le, I understand!

You eat my food.

Use my home.

My sister also provided the money to open the bookstore.

Now that you have grown strong, you have hooked up with another rich woman, right

That rich woman even drove a Maserati to date you, right

Xu Le, you are a traitor and have no conscience! "

“Bang!”

There was a crisp sound.

My sister-in-law was startled.

Turning his head, he looked at Xu Qinglang, who was lying on a rattan chair beside him.

Just now, there was the sound of the water cup in Xu Qinglang's hand falling down.

Xu Qinglang opened his mouth, his face full of horror.

Then he suddenly jumped off the rattan chair,

He kicked the door of the library.

"God damn it,

Wake up, damn it!

Still sleeping, you stinky hi,

You really did something naughty that night!"
