Ten years seems to be a very long time. At least in the eyes of the general public, ten years ago and ten years later mean two completely different concepts, just like the beginning and end of a river.
But if you say it's long,
Sometimes it doesn’t seem long.
Many people are often shocked when they lower their heads and recall what they were doing and where they were ten years ago!
Ah, ten years just passed like this
So fast.
Especially at this time, if you are like the scholar in front of you, and use your last ten years as fuel to light the fire;
In fact, it only takes a short while.
Without burning,
It really doesn't withstand burning.
The fire was still burning, but it had already passed its craziest stage.
The middle-aged man continued to sit there. He was not afraid of the karma fire. He even ignored it.
A ruined city god, an old friend from the past,
To die as a warning,
He took it.
Anyway, scholars don't have many years left to live.
It would be better for him to die in a way that he himself thinks is brilliant, worthwhile and great.
Just like thousands of years ago,
When the underworld just changed,
Just like when the groups of city gods rose up in rebellion,
They are brave, they are fearless, and they form the largest resistance since the founding of the underworld.
certainly,
The final outcome,
Just like the karmic fires surrounding me at this moment,
Burning brilliantly,
But it won't be long.
It was silent and without a trace.
The City God once belonged to Mount Tai. Perhaps because this group is basically composed of local heroes, they retain the bravery that has been lost by the officials in hell who are influenced by the bureaucratic system.
When everyone is silent, when everyone chooses to acquiesce, when everyone numbly watches the flags on the city walls change,
They rebelled.
Not all the city gods rebelled.
Some people chose to shrink back, some chose to wait and see, and some chose to continue to "defend their responsibilities."
Some people were like turtles, hiding themselves after other city gods rushed forward, not daring to show their heads, just like the city god of Tongcheng at the beginning.
Some people continued to do their own thing, protecting the local feng shui, and did not participate in the violence that year.
But no matter how you put it, the group of City Gods is indeed the largest group among the various groups that originally rebelled against the establishment of the underworld!
Therefore, after suppressing the rebellion of the City God, for the Ten Kings of Hell and even for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, as for other aspects, everyone can cut the flesh with a soft knife and slowly let the blood out, so that the huge body of the underworld will fall into a chronic death.
But only,
Regarding the Chenghuang system,
The underworld adopted a policy of heavy pressure.
Even the city gods who did not participate in the resistance at the beginning, whether they were afraid of losing their lives or those who insisted on defending their territory due to different ideas, were subjected to indiscriminate suppression.
The underworld wants to forget the existence of this system, or even better, they never appeared.
The middle-aged man once noticed that
The scholar did not participate in the rebellion at first.
Thousands of city gods rushed into the countless figures of Huangquan Road and Chaotianque.
He didn't see the scholar.
At that time, he
I'm a little bit lucky.
Then,
The knife fell with a sudden movement.
Whether it is the newly established underworld or the newly ascended King of Hell, they all need a bloodbath to prove themselves.
They succeeded.
He originally thought that after a thousand years, at this moment, at this opportunity, he could let go of his status, and 'he' should also be able to let go of his status.
Sit down, everybody.
Just like back then,
Chat,
Talk to me.
He knew he didn't have much time left.
He himself knew that he didn't have much time left.
He can send him off.
Recall the past.
Goodbye,
His identity does not allow him to leave hell at will, so it is not easy to come up.
But I didn't expect that
This is how it ends.
The middle-aged man felt a little bored. The playmate who was once interesting enough to travel with him had become so dull and boring.
Maybe, 'he' has changed a long time ago, but I still retain a little fantasy about 'him'.
ten years,
Wouldn't it be bad to sneak home and take a look
It’s so luxurious that they actually burn it.
Just like he said back then that he liked the vastness here, the whistling wind here, the snow here, and the black soil here.
Then,
He became ill.
'He' was buried here.
It seems that 'he' hasn't changed at all.
From beginning to end,
They are all so pretentious.
The middle-aged man shook his head.
But suddenly I remembered something.
He turned his head and looked at the pile of leaves outside his black circle of light.
My battery!
… …
Flags can't be set randomly.
After it was established,
Even if nothing happens, you will feel anxious.
Lawyer An was a little nervous at this moment.
But I felt embarrassed to go back without picking many wild vegetables and mushrooms, so I continued to walk out to pick them.
Damn it,
This idea seems to be the idea of a supporting role in a ghost story. For the sake of face, he deliberately takes risks and becomes the first orange to die. The purpose is to warn the protagonist and create the atmosphere for the opening.
Lawyer An really doesn’t understand. As a bookstore owner, why would Xu Qinglang go to read ghost stories when he has nothing to do
There are ghosts all around you and there are few living people. What's the point of reading ghost stories
But when I think back to the time when I discovered that my boss and Yingying had watched all of Lin Zhengying's zombie movies with great interest,
Oh,
Lawyer An suddenly understood Xu Qinglang again.
"The little girl picking mushrooms, walking barefoot on the frozen ground..."
Lawyer An continued picking mushrooms while humming a song.
Anyway, no one.
He can be as naughty as he wants.
It took about half an hour.
I guess it should be enough to eat with the pig's head to relieve the greasiness.
Lawyer An plans to return to the camp. No matter what, he wants to reunite with the main force first.
only,
Lawyer An just turned around,
Suddenly,
At its front side,
A ball of yellow light rose up.
Forest fire
This was Lawyer An's first thought.
But then the pure and fresh scent spread out.
This made Lawyer An suddenly realize that
Damn it,
This is karmic fire!
Lawyer An has been very familiar with this thing recently. Geng Chen liked to use karma fire when designing the mechanism. The two of them had once secretly killed two members of the law enforcement team in Yangzhou.
This thing is very useful, especially for ghosts, it is simply a weapon to kill ghosts!
However, compared with the grand scene in front of him, the evil fire that Gengchen had created at the beginning was like the difference between firecrackers and "Patriots".
"Damn, what Old Xu said was right."
Lawyer An quickly wrapped up the mushrooms.
He was too lazy to run to the other side of the fire to check the situation. A strong curiosity is also a prominent feature of the extras who die at the beginning of a ghost story.
Lawyer An doesn't want to be a supporting role, so he doesn't go to watch!
Run straight to the camp!
However,
Running and running,
Lawyer An had to stop again.
He found himself going in circles.
This wasn't some kind of ghost wall, nor was it someone attacking him. It was because of that horrible fire that, after burning, distorted many things here, such as... people's senses.
Just like the heat waves formed when a normal flame burns can cause a sense of refraction in people's vision,
The effect of karma fire is even more terrifying.
Lawyer An didn't dare to run any further. If he continued to run around under the circumstances, the worst-case scenario would most likely occur, which was running directly to the scene of the incident in a daze.
He simply squatted down.
Holding mushrooms in my arms,
He did not dare to use any other method to break the distortion here, for fear of attracting attention from certain parties. He just waited quietly for the effect to dissipate, responding to all changes with the same attitude.
Wait, wait,
After waiting for about five minutes,
Lawyer An closed his eyes and felt for a while, estimating that it should be about time. Then he stood up again, looked in the right direction, and prepared to run away.
But at this moment,
Lawyer An heard the sound of "da da da".
Very close to myself.
It was like something was striking at my heartstrings;
Lawyer An had to admit that
As a ghost,
He was frightened.
It's not that Lawyer An is timid.
It was simply because the foreshadowing effect of the previous horrific fire was so good.
No more running.
If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable.
Lawyer An turned around slowly.
Who exactly is this person
Then,
Lawyer An was stunned.
He saw on a small mound behind him,
A middle-aged man with clothes that were a bit weird was sitting on it.
He was holding two large batteries in his hands and kept colliding them against each other.
how,
There is a familiar feeling,
We seem to have met somewhere before, do you remember
Lawyer An felt a slight pain in his head.
He really couldn't remember who the man in front of him was. He felt inexplicably familiar, yet illogical.
The middle-aged man also noticed Lawyer An. He turned his head and looked at Lawyer An, frowning slightly. To be honest, he was also a little surprised.
This is our first meeting.
Just want to take myself to a prostitute,
How come we meet again
It's true.
The ghost is still there;
The middle-aged man frowned.
Are you scolding yourself as well
Lawyer An could not sense any aura from the other party. He was just like an ordinary person.
But would an ordinary person go to an uninhabited old forest in the dead of night to play with battery bumps
So,
The one in front of me,
Who is it
The scene has changed.
From a barbecue stall to an old forest,
But one thing hasn't changed.
That is the good impression Lawyer An has for the person in front of him!
Everyone has their own strengths and characteristics. Lawyer An’s characteristics are like wearing sensors all over his body, sensing the "thighs" of everything around him.
The middle-aged man knew that he probably didn't remember himself.
This... is a common person.
However,
What surprised the middle-aged man was that
The other party came over again.
He didn't take the initiative to sit next to me like he did last time at the barbecue stall.
This time I kept a little distance.
A little respectful, a little curious, a little reserved,
There was also a certain inexplicable warmth:
"What are you doing here so late at night
Is it cold
Are you tired
Are you hungry
