Lord of the Mansion
This was definitely not a title for himself. Zhou Ze's ID clearly stated his name in the first column, and his position as "temporary ghost messenger" was clearly written in the second column.
Moreover, this cannot be a nickname that shows respect. For example, during the Republic of China, ordinary people would call a soldier "Boss". If a temporary ghost messenger can be called "Lord of the House", then this kind of honorific title must be too common and worthless in hell, right
so,
The problem should be with this little notebook that I just got.
This certificate had an owner before, and even though it has been "refreshed" now that Zhou Ze got it, it should still contain some information about the previous owner.
all in all,
I found the remains of a very remarkable man, and got it in a way that was effortless.
Of course, at this moment Zhou Ze had no time to be secretly happy or to open a glass of red wine to celebrate. Instead, he felt a little disappointed, after all, he failed to fight with this ugly version of Monkey King.
But since the opponent had given up, Zhou Ze certainly wouldn't be so servile as to kneel down and encourage the opponent to quickly regain confidence in life and stand up and beat me, beat me.
Hit me!
Since this is a beautiful misunderstanding, let this misunderstanding continue.
Zhou Ze walked towards the monkey silently, with one hand behind his back. In fact, he was subconsciously imitating the cool posture of the little Lolita to make the other party's misunderstanding last longer.
When it approached the other party, the monkey was still kowtowing continuously. Its skull must have been dug out by someone, and it was hollow inside. In fact, except for the "bullwhip" which was in good quality, the rest of its body was very rotten and damaged.
Zhou Ze stretched out a hand and touched the other person's forehead with his fingernails.
"Give me your soul blood."
Zhou Ze said lightly.
"I will obey the Lord's order."
The monkey had a look of fear and was convinced, and a black earthworm appeared between his eyebrows.
Zhou Ze pinched the earthworm with his fingernails and began to pull it out. The earthworm became longer and thicker.
At the beginning, Xu Qinglang had suggested to Zhou Ze that he collect Bai Yingying's soul blood, which would be equivalent to controlling Bai Yingying's life force. Zhou Ze now planned to use the same method to completely control the monkey while he was distracted.
However, the soul blood of this monkey is really strong, which also indirectly shows how terrifying this monkey is.
Why did this monkey suddenly appear in the city
At this moment, the soul blood suddenly got stuck. Zhou Ze tried to pull it hard, but couldn't.
The monkey, who originally had a look of awe on his face, was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became extremely clear!
It is my honor that the almighty Lord wants to extract my soul and blood. It is a decree that I cannot resist. But why is it so difficult for the almighty Lord to extract my soul and blood
Suddenly, the monkey's mouth opened, it let out a sharp roar, and its claws slapped directly at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze only felt that he was hit by a huge truck, but when he was knocked away, his nails instantly exerted force and directly cut off the opponent's soul blood.
“Crash…”
Zhou Ze crashed into the glass behind him and fell into the broken glass. He raised his head and felt his chest heaving. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth and his whole body was in extreme pain.
"Damn it, you're not the Lord of the Mansion!
You bastard, how dare you pretend to be the Lord of the Mansion!"
The monkey started to go crazy. Although Zhou Ze did not completely extract its soul and blood, because it was strangled by Zhou Ze, even if it could not be killed immediately, it was enough to destroy the foundation of its cultivation.
Zhou Ze struggled to get up, his body was covered with cuts from broken glass, and he looked in a very miserable state.
However, the monkey at this moment pounced directly at Zhou Ze like a mad beast.
“Plop!”
The man and the monkey collided with each other, but this time the monkey's strength was much weaker than last time. The man and the monkey entangled with each other and rolled several times on the ground.
"This is my destiny and my karma. Heaven permits it. It is only natural that I must pay back my debts!
You are just a ghost messenger, why are you trying to stop us? Do you really think you are the King of Hell?"
Zhou Ze did not answer, but pierced the monkey's body with his nails. The pus in the monkey's body continued to evaporate. The smell was so bad that even if you were wearing a gas mask, it would probably not have any effect at all.
Finally, after a round of fighting between the two sides, the monkey's body collapsed and lost its strength, and fell to the side. Zhou Ze staggered to his feet, and most of his ten fingernails had been corroded.
He is a person who takes good care of his nails. Even in his previous life, when he was not operating a scalpel, he would often trim his nails. Not to mention that in this life, nails are more important to him and he naturally cherishes them more.
But now is not the time to worry about these things. Zhou Ze felt a little scared. If it weren't for the ID in his hand that deceived the other party, allowing him to take the initiative and cut off the other party's soul blood, after this round of confrontation, he might be the one lying on the ground.
This is not a ghost.
This is a demon.
Zhou Ze cursed himself many times in his heart.
Why did I follow him? I almost got myself killed.
Human beings are such complex animals. They can do things without considering the consequences under the impulse of a momentary sense of justice and so-called conscience, but they often regret it afterwards.
I feel like a jerk.
Zhou Ze felt that next time he encountered such a thing, he should call the police and let them solve it, so that he could leave with peace of mind.
Madam Bai stayed in Tongcheng for two hundred years. Didn't the little Loli turn a blind eye to it
Shaking his head, discarding the random thoughts in his mind, Zhou Ze looked at the monkey beside him.
The monkey's mouth opened, its eyes began to become cloudy, and its body began to shrink slowly like a balloon with air leaking out, but it was not dead yet because it could still speak.
"I have been practicing for three decades, and I got the opportunity, sent good karma, became a spirit, and got a glimpse of the Great Dao... As an alien, it is not easy for me to achieve the Dao in the world of the living."
Before dying, everyone seems to like to recall his past and talk about how awesome and difficult his life was. The mentality of this monkey is actually not much different from that of a human.
"After so many years of practice, I still can't control that thing down there." Zhou Ze spat out a mouthful of blood, and the gaps between his teeth were also covered with blood.
"One body per sixty years, one reincarnation per sixty years." The monkey's voice began to become weak, but it still sounded very sonorous.
"I transform into a physical body once every sixty years and practice cultivation from the beginning. In the mountains and wilderness, I rescue passers-by who are lost in the wilderness, pick medicinal herbs for the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and drive away nearby mountain monsters and ghosts.
Although I don’t have a temple, I still perform the duties of a mountain god, protecting the people in the mountains from generation to generation. Even now, there is a stone sculpture of me in that small town, and there are stories circulating in the local area about the monkey god helping people.”
Zhou Ze rubbed his nails on his clothes and looked at the broken nails, feeling very sorry. Of course, Zhou Ze just sneered at what the monkey said.
A magical monkey
A mountain god who protects the mountain people
Enjoy helping others
Aren't you too helpful? The husband is out working, and you help him comfort his wife who is alone at home
Moreover, when I think about the image of this thing leaning against the wall and smoking when I just went upstairs, it is really hard to associate it with the monkey god.
"Don't play tricks on yourself. Just say the nice things." Zhou Ze raised his hand again, ready to put an end to this monkey.
"It was them who caught my newly reincarnated body during my fourth practice of cultivation. At that time, I was just a little monkey. Her husband was working as a woodcutter in the mountains and forests. He fell and was injured and fell into a canyon. It was me who brought him fruits and dew. It was me who went to their camp and led his co-workers to rescue him.
But when he was rescued, he tied me up with the ropes used for logging and said to his co-workers:
"Those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. I heard that monkey brain is very good. I took some and gave it to my wife to taste. It has a miraculous effect on infertility!"
In the last paragraph, the monkey spoke in classical Chinese, which can show its anger, but also show that it is on its deathbed, its consciousness has gradually become confused, and it subconsciously speaks in the way it is most accustomed to.
"Open my head, take my marrow, cut my flesh, and share it with everyone. It's a great tonic!"
As the monkey spoke, it, which had shrunk to the size of an ordinary monkey, began to tremble. This was a kind of gritting anger, an anger that went deep into its bones!
He practiced Taoism for three centuries, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, protecting the people. However, on the eve of his great success, he was destroyed. He did not die at the hands of his own enemies, but died at the hands of the people he saved.
No matter who it is, it would be a overwhelming hatred.
"My body has been destroyed, my aspirations have collapsed, but the resentment in my heart is still burning!
The cause in yesterday, the result today!
I am already dead and I wish to enter reincarnation and be reborn as an animal, but I cannot let go of my resentment and my soul cannot go to hell. I have no choice but to go down the mountain to seek revenge and understand the cause and effect, so that I can be completely free. "
"Is this your reason for violating someone else's wife?" Zhou Ze asked.
"You are a human being, and I am an animal. It is only natural that you serve humans and eat animals!
But if animals take grudges to repay others, then it is against the will of heaven, right?"
Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
He was unwilling to deny it, nor did he want to deny it.
Of course, eating monkey brains is illegal and wrong, but from Zhou Ze's own emotional inclination, he couldn't accept the fact that the monkey came down the mountain for revenge and almost caused two deaths.
For example, when you see people in a restaurant eating braised pork, you will think it tastes delicious.
But if you see a group of pigs eating human flesh in a restaurant, how would you feel as a human being
It's a very selfish position, a very distorted ass...but the truth is that everyone has a different position, so naturally they look at things from a different perspective.
Besides, Zhou Ze felt that no matter what, the child in the pregnant woman's belly was innocent.
"You must be in pain. Let me help you get rid of it, and then see if I can send your soul to hell."
"Thank you..." the monkey said the last word.
Zhou Ze's nails pierced into the monkey's body again.
The monkey trembled.
The body completely lost its vitality.
But Zhou Ze searched for a long time and waited for a long time, but he did not find the monkey's soul.
This may mean that the monkey's soul has been destroyed because its revenge was not completed, so its soul cannot go to hell.
Standing up, Zhou Ze discovered that there was a thin layer of black smoke dissipating around him. It was like a barrier that prevented what was happening here from being sensed by the outside world. Otherwise, with the noise of him and the monkey fighting here, many people would have been attracted here.
Zhou Ze picked up the monkey's body, held onto the stairs, and slowly walked down.
At the same time, he reminded himself in his heart to remember today's lesson. He was just a ghost catcher, in charge of ghosts. Mountain spirits and monsters were beyond the scope of his job.
Under the cover of night, Zhou Ze used the shovel left at the gardener's house to dig a hole for the monkey in a park outside the hospital and buried its body in it.
Then he simply treated his wound. After doing all this, Zhou Ze sat down against a big tree, feeling a little exhausted.
Taking out his phone, whose screen was shattered but still usable, Zhou Ze sent a message to Dr. Lin:
"Did the pregnant woman and her baby survive?"
Five minutes later, Dr. Lin replied:
"It's saved. Mother and child are safe."
Zhou Ze lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then felt pain in his lungs and started coughing violently.
But soon, Dr. Lin sent another photo and a text,
"But the child is a deformed one, with three legs."
Zhou Ze looked at the photos on his phone.
The tiny premature baby lay there quietly, breathing evenly.
But his lower body has three legs.
The extra leg,
Like a monkey's... tail.
