Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits

Wen Jiubai quietly glanced at me and said lightly, "But if there are no ghosts in this world, there will be no humans. Bayi? Chinese Network W = W ≤ W ≤. ≠ 8 ≤ 1 ≠ ≠ ≠ W ≤. ≈C≈O≈M ”

"I know, I know." I interrupted Wen Jiubai without patience, and my sullen emotions accumulated in my chest. I mumbled, "If there is no evil, there is no justice, and what yin and yang are related to each other. I know."

"That's not true," Wen Jiubai said, touching his chin. "In fact, before Buddhism did not reach China, the ancient Chinese did not think that ghosts were harmful."

"Really?" I mumbled.

"Ghosts do indeed have a very high place in Chinese history. In the five thousand years of culture, many are related to ghosts and the like. It can be seen even from many idioms." Wen Jiubai blinked, "For example, '睚眦 will report', 'for the tiger'."

I frowned. "What do these idioms have to do with monsters?"

"Don't you know?" 睚眦 "and" 伥 "are the names of ancient monsters. Wen Jiubai laughed. "Xun is the second son of dragon in ancient legend. Because of his aggressive personality and remorse, the ancients often used it to describe revenge. You may be more familiar with the ghost story. The ancients believed that the person who died in the tiger's mouth will turn into a ghost after death, guide the tiger, and lure other passers-by to the tiger's mouth. "

I couldn't help being so fascinated and nodded.

"At that time, the Chinese gods were divided into three major groups, namely: gods of heaven, earth, and people and ghosts. There were gods of heaven, earth and mansions, people and ghosts. They are made by people. They have no level, they are the most intelligent and perfect beings of everything above and below. "Wen Jiubai went on to say," At that time, no ghost was afraid of the sun, because in ancient China, The ancestors were extremely respected. In ancient times, the treatment of righteousness was based on their behaviors and thoughts, not as bad as evil or immortal. The pre-Qin Zhuzi had different views on "death" and held on "ghost". Different attitudes. The Mos during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period even flaunted the ghosts and gods, and emphasized to use it to govern the people's economy. Well, although there is always a lot of divergence about ghosts in the long history, there is no absolute whole in this world. There is no absolute all-evil good, and this is certain. "

"So in other words, the notion that ghosts are evil was only later, right?" I couldn't help asking.

"Yes, you can say that." Wen Jiubai nodded.

"Why is this so?" I asked. "Why do ghosts become evil and terrible things now?"

Wen Jiubai groaned for a while, took a tea cup and took a sip, and said slowly, "Who knows. But most of it is due to fear."

"fear?"

"Human fear gradually grows with the passage of time and the changes of the times." Wen Jiubai said slowly, "The world has become more and more complex and diverse, and people's lives have gradually become faster. In the process, people gradually I also forgot the original appearance of many things. I started to be afraid of many original friendly things. And those inhuman things gradually lost patience in a long and long time, and meekness became militant. The good and the good become evil. "

"Monsters and ghosts will change too?" I asked skeptically.

"Of course." Wen Jiubai smiled. "No matter what kind of monsters and ghosts are born from the human heart. Compared to humans, we monsters are born at dusk and darker. They are very weak and very weak. So, you guys, Human beings must never bully us. "

I couldn't help it. Compared to what Wen Jiubai meant, what made me more concerned is that this is the first time that Wen Jiubai truly and proactively acts as a monster and speaks from the stand of inhuman things. This has never been done before. Born.

Previously, no matter how much I doubted his identity, Wen Jiubai always regarded himself as a demon master, and when he took the commission, he really dealt with the problem from the perspective of the client. Although I sometimes felt that he was a bit ruthless, he could not deny that he was really very sensible in this regard.

And ... what exactly did he mean? Is the monster very weak? How is this possible? If Wen Jiubai was not here during the night walk of Bai Gui, I would have been torn to pieces by those terrible monsters.

When I was thinking about God, I suddenly felt a soft temperature on my cheek.

I don't know when Wen Jiubai's palm touched my cheek.

I was taken aback, and subconsciously hid backwards. For a moment, I thought about the gentle and warm kiss of Wen Jiubai when the night of the ghosts was walking. I swallowed, my heart beat like a cymbal, and God knew what the surname Wen wanted to do!

But I didn't expect that Wen Jiubai just touched it a little, and gave me his hand without any embarrassment.

"Look at you. What are you thinking about?" Wen Jiubai's tone was unexpectedly soft, unlike the way we talked when Su Xiaoying was still alive.

Although at this time I really wanted to ask the question of "what the **** are you?" But I stumbled back ... in case he was angry again, I didn't want to destroy the atmosphere. So I finally chose to shake my head.

"It's nothing."

"Can it be done, are you afraid?" Wen Jiubai held his chin and looked at me with interest.

"Ha?" I heard a dissatisfaction, "What are you talking about!"

"I'm afraid you're afraid." Wen Jiubai smiled, bending his eyes.

"How could I be afraid!" I rolled my eyes and said disdainfully, "Do you think I was the guy who didn't understand anything at the beginning of the semester? I have experienced so many terrible things with you. I ’m scared. Maybe I despise people too? ”

"Really?" Wen Jiubai said lightly. "But you should be afraid."

I frowned and looked at him, silently expressing my doubts.

"This time things are different from before. This parasitic soul really killed a person two years ago. Now he is staring at more souls. Your friend is staring at him. Get out. This is a curse, "Wen Jiubai said.

"But you can do it, right?" I blurted out.

Immediately after the speech, Wen Jiubai knocked on my head. The strength was not light enough, which caused me to quickly cover my head and cry.

"Oh, do you think of me as a **** or god? No matter what, I think I have a ready-made solution."
