At this time, Cui Zuofei said, "Okay, let's stop talking. Let's first think of a way to liberate these dead souls."
"How do you want to help them to be reborn? These souls are full of resentment. Are you going to just disperse them?" I asked doubtfully.
"With Master Chang here, it's easy to disperse them, but they are Chinese ghosts after all. I would feel guilty if I let them die. I want to try to talk to them again." Cui Zuofei thought for a moment and said to me.
"We can't defeat them if Mr. Chang leaves. How can we talk? Negotiations only happen when both sides are equal in strength. If Mr. Chang leaves, will they still be in the mood to talk to us? Brother Cui, you are confused."
"Who said Mr. Chang is leaving? Mr. Chang is our bargaining chip. I've made up my mind. Xiaojiu, you just stand aside and watch." After Cui Zuofei finished speaking, he strode to an open space in front.
Didn't Cui Zuofei say that after three minutes, life span would start to shorten? Should I stop Cui Zuofei from negotiating with those ghosts? I suddenly thought that Cui Zuofei couldn't be unaware of this. Suddenly, the image of Cui Zuofei in my mind suddenly became tall and mighty. Little Cui Zi also became Brother Cui.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Brother Cui, hurry up, we have to go home for dinner."
Brother Cui turned his back to me and made an OK gesture.
After that, Brother Cui shouted loudly: "Taishang Laojun, hurry up and obey the order." After shouting, he waved his sleeves, and a ball of black gas appeared on the open space in front of us. The face facing us was the face of the man just now.
"Brother, you have seen that you can't deal with us. It is better for you to go to the underworld and reincarnate, and be a hero again in eighteen years." Cui Zuofei was not in a hurry. He lit a cigarette and said to the man slowly.
"You traitors and traitors are actually working for the Japanese. Have you forgotten your ancestors?" The ghost was still unmoved by Cui Zuofei's words and said viciously.
Cui Zuofei thought for a moment and said, "Times are different now. We are not the anti-Japanese era. There are good people among the Japanese, right? As the saying goes, revenge will never end. It is better to reincarnate as soon as possible. I have someone in the underworld who can take care of you."
"The little Japanese deserve to die. Do you still remember the Nanjing Massacre? Do you remember the September 18th Incident? Are you still Chinese?" After saying that, he became agitated again and seemed like he wanted to take action.
Suddenly Brother Cui's voice suddenly changed to Chang Tianqing's: "Do you really not want to be reincarnated? Do you want your souls to be scattered? Do you really think we won't kill you? These two children are kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have eaten you all long ago. Why are you still hesitating?"
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and the face on the black gas was suddenly pulled off. He looked like he wanted to eat it. I was shocked and immediately rushed to Chang Tianqing and grabbed his hand.
"Master Chang, please don't. They still have hope of reincarnation. If their souls are scattered, it will be the end. I hope Master Chang will have mercy on them."
At this time, Brother Cui, um, no, it should be Chang Tianqing turned his head, and I saw that his eyeballs turned into a line, pure black, like a gem.
He said to me, "Mercy? Haha, kid, I am dying of laughter, you actually said this word to a snake. I don't know what mercy is, but I just don't want my friend to get hurt. Xiao Cui and I have known each other for such a long time, I don't want him to shorten his life because of this wronged soul, do you understand?"
I immediately realized that two minutes had passed. It would soon be three minutes. So I let go of his hand and nodded to Chang Tianqing in tacit agreement.
Just when Chang Tianqing was about to eat the ghost, Cui Zuofei's voice suddenly came out, "Haha, Master Chang, you are still the same as before. Every time I ask you to possess my body, you have to use my body to eat all kinds of messy things. But don't eat these for now. Let me talk to them." Then Brother Cui's eyes changed back to normal.
He looked at the ghost and said, "Dude, you understand, right? In this situation, you will either be reincarnated or your soul will be scattered. It is impossible for you to kill Mr. Kameda. He is a good man and I will protect him. I will give you one more minute to think about it."
The ghost returned to the black air.
I saw that Brother Cui's forehead was covered with sweat, so I hurried forward to support him: "Brother Cui, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after holding on for a while."
"Brother Cui, why don't you just beat up these ghosts? It's not a big deal to waste your life." I asked in confusion. It was indeed true. You know, in our line of work, it is very common to encounter situations like today. It may happen frequently. If Brother Cui does this every time, how much life will he have left
"My master taught me that no matter what time it is, I must not beat ghosts to death as long as there are other methods." Although Brother Cui is usually cynical, he looks respectful when talking about his master.
"Brother Cui, who is your master? Why haven't you ever mentioned him before?"
"My master died before I was born." Cui Zuofei said with a wry smile.
"No way, your master died before you were born. How did he teach you Taoism?" I asked puzzledly.
"It's a long story. It was a beautiful spring, a beautiful spring outing..." He hadn't finished speaking when the ghosts on the opposite side made a sound.
"Well, whatever. Little brother, we are not unreasonable people. It is our hatred for Kameda's ancestors that has blinded our intelligence. I hope you can help us reincarnate."
"Dear seniors, I hope you all have a good journey."
Brother Cui let go of my hand, took out a dozen paper money from his arms, and lit it. “This is just a token of my appreciation. I hope you can use it on your journey.”
Then Brother Cui lit another talisman. After the talisman burned out, two people wearing tall hats suddenly appeared, one in black and one in white. They looked exactly like the Black and White Impermanence.
Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang are collectively called Wuchang Erye by people. They are gods who specialize in catching evil spirits. Hei Wuchang is listed among the ten great Yin Shuai. Bai Wuchang is always smiling, wearing a long hat with the words "You are here too" on it; Hei Wuchang has a fierce look on his face, and the words "I am catching you" are on his long hat. Why are there black and white Wuchang? There are probably several reasons: First, many gods in religions have human nature. To catch evil spirits, there can't be only one person doing this job all day long. There must be shifts, otherwise, one god can't bear this job for a long time. Therefore, there is one during the day and one at night; second, from the perspective of black and white yin and yang, it conforms to the Taoist Yin and Yang theory; third, from the analysis of many folk legends, Bai Wuchang mostly punishes those who are "not good enough", while Hei Wuchang specializes in catching evil spirits with chains and shackles.
Cui Zuofei greeted Bai Wuchang and said to him, "Brother, I have something to ask. I want to send my brothers to reincarnation, and I hope you can help me."
Before the White Impermanence could say anything, the Black Impermanence roared, "Must die!"
