Tales of the Supernatural

Chapter 137: [136] Theory of cause and effect

Views:

Wang Li and Wang Zewei were so frightened at that time that they slowly came to their senses after the female ghost left. Wang Li didn't care about discussing business anymore and rushed back overnight. However, after arriving, Wang Li didn't look for Cui Zuofei first, but went to find Van Helsing. Later, Van Helsing said that they could just ask the people from the paranormal investigation team for help and there was no need to look for Cui Zuofei, so he didn't come to us.

Just now, Wang Zewei brought his girlfriend out for dinner to calm down, but he unexpectedly saw me in KFC. Suddenly, he thought of what Cui Zuofei said. With the attitude of believing it is true rather than not, he came to find me and wanted to ask me in detail. After all, what Cui Zuofei said at that time, that Wang Li would be in trouble within two months, has now come true.

"I think Van Helsing will probably ask Huangpu Duan and others to help you." I thought about it carefully. Van Helsing and Cui Zuofei didn't have a good relationship, so he definitely couldn't lower himself to ask Cui Zuofei for help.

"Huangpu Duan? Is he powerful? What's his ranking in your paranormal investigation team?" Wang Zewei asked while driving the car, seeming to be quite curious about the paranormal investigation team.

When I heard that, I really didn't know how to answer. After all, I had never seen Huangpu Duan and the other three take action. But after thinking about it, I said, "I don't know how strong he is. Let me describe it to you this way. Cui Zuofei and I use orthodox Chinese Taoist techniques to catch ghosts. We are authentic Yin-Yang masters, while Huangpu Duan and the others use some principles of Taoist techniques to make some guns for catching ghosts. Plus, they are special forces, so their strength should not be too weak."

Wang Zewei nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He looked like he was thinking about something. Seeing this, I stopped talking too. The car drove very fast and soon arrived at the entrance of Fuze Hall.

Wang Zewei got out of the car and took a look at Fuze Hall, then looked at Yifu Hall across the street and said, "Do you still have competitors for this place? Do you want me to find someone to help you smash his store?"

After listening to what Wang Zewei said, I looked at Yi Fu Hall again. What a joke! Yi Xinxing has his Three Escapes. Even if Wang Zewei finds more than 30 people, it will be useless. What's more, with Yi Xinxing's eloquence, it is really difficult to have an impact on us.

He shook his head at Wang Zewei and led him inside. After entering, they immediately smelled the scent of sandalwood, which was strange because it was not there in the morning. Upon closer inspection, they found that it was Li Shigao fiddling with a small purple incense burner, with wisps of green smoke wafting out.

In fact, when I smell the scent of sandalwood, I think of a kind of incense, which is called ghost-chasing incense. Ghost-chasing incense is a kind of incense processed by secret methods, and its appearance is exactly the same as ordinary incense. Ghost-chasing incense is very popular among various Yin-Yang masters and corpse drivers, especially corpse drivers, because ghost-chasing incense, as its name suggests, has the effect of driving away wandering ghosts and making them dare not approach. Generally, corpse drivers will light ghost-chasing incense when driving corpses, so as to prevent wandering ghosts from wandering around and possessing the body of the god of joy.

Let's get back to the point. When Li Shigao saw us coming in, his eyes immediately locked on Wang Zewei and he asked me, "Xiaojiu, why did you bring him here?"

"Old sir, I'm sorry about what happened last time." After saying that, he bowed to Li Shigao at a 90-degree angle. Li Shigao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Zewei to actually apologize.

"Hmph, it's normal for children to make mistakes. Just remember to correct them in the future. Xiao Cui is sleeping in the bedroom, you can go in and find him." After saying that, he continued to fiddle with the incense burner.

I nodded to Li Shigao and took Wang Zewei into the bedroom. However, the bedroom was extremely messy, with socks and other things everywhere. It was usually okay when we were alone, but now that Wang Zewei, an outsider, came in, I immediately felt a little embarrassed, so I said, "Ahem, well, Cui Zuofei doesn't usually like to be clean. I have cleaned up countless times, but every time I leave, he messes it up within an hour. This guy doesn't pay attention to personal hygiene."

Maybe my acting was too good, Wang Zewei really believed it, pinching his nose and saying: "Brother Cui is indeed a hermit, living in a place that is not particular about trivial matters, he is indeed a man who can accomplish great things."

When I heard this, I almost burst out laughing. This guy is too good at flattering. But I held back. If I burst out laughing now, all my previous performances would be in vain.

Cui Zuofei, who was originally sleeping soundly in the bed, opened his eyes immediately when he heard Wang Zewei's words, and sat up from the bed, which scared me. After getting up, Cui Zuofei saw that it was Wang Zewei, and said with his neck tilted: "Something happened? That's not right, shouldn't there be another month?" The latter sentence was of course spoken to himself.

"Yes, that's what happened." Wang Zewei then told Cui Zuofei everything he had told me. Cui Zuofei also frowned as he listened. Finally, when he heard that Wang Li had asked Huangpu Duan for help, his face changed and he said firmly, "Okay, you don't have to say anything. I won't help with this matter."

"Why? Didn't we tell you before that we can come to you if we have any problems?" Wang Zewei looked at Cui Zuofei strangely. He certainly couldn't know that Cui Zuofei and Huangpu Duan were sworn enemies.

"Anyway, if Huangpu Duan wants to help, there's no need to come to me. Just come to me when he can't do it." After saying this, Cui Zuofei buried his head and continued to sleep.

Wang Zewei had a look of confusion on his face. I winked at him to signal him to come out, and he followed me out.

"Why did Brother Cui say something nice at the beginning, but change his mind in the end?" Wang Zewei asked puzzledly after he walked out of the door with me.

"It's not your fault. In fact, Cui Zuofei and that Huangpu Duan are sworn enemies. If I put it this way, you will understand why Cui Zuofei is so angry." I said with a smile.

Wang Zewei suddenly realized something, but then he said bitterly, "This won't work. I'm really confused. Brother Jiu, who is stronger, Huangpu Duan or Cui Zuofei?"

"Forget it. I guess your dad has already decided to ask Huangpu Duan for help. So let's do as Cui Zuofei said. When you encounter a problem that you can't solve, just call us. Don't worry, my brother Cui always keeps his word. This time it's just that you have already found his enemy first, so you can't blame him." I said to Wang Zewei.

Wang Zewei nodded and said, "This is the only way. I will go back first and tell my dad about this matter. If I really get into trouble, please help me. I only have this father." After saying that, he bowed deeply to me again.

Suddenly, I had a much better impression of Wang Zewei. It was not because he bowed to me that I had a better impression, but because he was a filial son. For an orphan like me, I had no parents when I was young, and my master was nowhere to be found when I grew up. It was impossible to find someone to be filial to. I couldn't be as stupid as some volunteers, running to the nursing home to find a few grandfathers, and then having to serve them with a lot of things, which was really boring.

It's not that I'm heartless, I also respect these old people, but there is a saying in the world that karma will come true. Generally speaking, the old people in nursing homes now are the ones who planted the seeds when they were young, and now their children are unfilial and they are paying the price. As the saying goes, there is a cause for every effect, and this sentence is not just for show, but it has its own truth.

Let me give you a simple example of cause and effect. It's like many young parents today who dream of their children becoming successful. Some children go to kindergarten at the age of two, and they sign up for various training courses when they are four or five. No matter whether the children like it or not, they just keep making them learn. But can this really create a talent? This will only ruin their children. Really, the pressure parents put on their children is getting bigger and bigger. When they are young, it's okay. They dare not say anything. When they are fifteen or sixteen, they will be extremely rebellious. When they make money, they will just throw their parents into a nursing home. No one will care about them.

Why is this? Are these children really unfilial? No, it is because they have developed a hatred for their parents since they were young. Why are other children playing while I am studying? Others spend their childhood happily, while I spend mine studying? A child only has one childhood in his life, and it is ruined like this, so they naturally hate it.

I'm getting off topic. Anyway, this is the cause and effect in the real world. You can think carefully about whether it makes sense. If you have children at home, please don't put too much pressure on them so that they can have a happy childhood.
