Chapter 378
After a group of yin, one person stayed. Shake, the previous desolation was gone, and when he threw his sleeves, he wanted to leave, and suddenly thought of what. Uncle Wei entered the security room, sat on the coffin-like bed, pulled over the carved mahogany table that he usually treasured, opened the takeaway bag beside it, took out a roast chicken, a plate of peanuts, and a bottle of cheap liquor and placed them on it.
"There is only one cup, and there is no share for you!"
Jiang Chen looked at it and shook his head in disdain.
"I never drink wine that costs less than ten yuan. Old Wei, your life is too hard. I will treat you to Erguotou some other day. It's just a small bottle for ten yuan, and it has a strong sauce flavor, making you feel that you have drunk wine in this life in vain."
Hearing this, Uncle Wei, who was originally a little proud, was stunned. Although he couldn't tell what was wrong, the boy's words made him uncomfortable all over.
So you don't drink wine that costs less than ten yuan, so you just drink ten yuan?
A bottle of Erguotou, bragging better than Feitian!
He thought for a moment and sneered: "What do you know, kid? Sometimes when you drink, you're not drinking wine."
"I know that, it's technology, hard work, Old Wei, you're quite up-to-date, are you also learning from Daoxuan, that old man, to watch Douyin every day?" Jiang Chen answered fluently.
"..."
The wine that Old Wei had just poured in his hand suddenly felt dull.
After hesitating for a long time, he put it back on the table.
At this time, Jiang Chen picked it up, took a sip, ate a peanut, squinted his eyes and savored it, then looked at the old man in front of him again, and greeted: "Drink, eat, don't be polite."
"No cups, right? We don't care about these things, Old Wei, just drink from the bottle!"
Grandpa Wei's expression froze.
Good boy... You don't have martial ethics, you rely on cheating and robbing to bully an old comrade like me.
"Didn't you say this is technology? Why are you still drinking?" he asked in a muffled voice.
"It's okay to drink less. I'll take the cup and you take the bottle. Anyway, you're so old. Whether you're healthy or not is a matter for your future." Jiang Chen said casually.
Uncle Wei hadn't drunk yet, but he felt a little drunk.
You kid, just drink less harmful things yourself, and let me drink from the bottle?
He was silent for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have figured something out. He smiled and took a few big gulps from the bottle.
"Haha, you're right."
"Reputation during life, and affairs after death, I'm so old, why do I still care so much?"
"Without me, this Jiangbei branch will not die."
"I've always been the one who imprisoned myself..."
After these words came out, Jiang Chen, who was stuffing a chicken leg into his mouth, froze, his eyes widened, and his face was shocked.
Oh my god!
What did you realize, Old Wei?
I was just being clever, I'm used to being a ghost.
Why do you act like you're going to die heroically after listening to me? I won't take the blame for this!
"Old Wei, what do you mean? Are you going to hang yourself?"
"I suddenly want to give it a try! Perhaps my previous failures were all because I wanted to live too much and wanted to continue to protect this branch. How can a person who is afraid of death win?"
Old Wei suddenly became heroic, stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, and patted Jiang Chen's shoulder with his greasy hands.
Jiang Chen jumped up and rubbed his clothes distressedly: "What are you doing, old man? I changed this new Uniqlo model during the Chinese New Year, and it's all greasy."
"Hahaha!" Old Wei finally "won" once and laughed heartily.
"..."
"Boy, do you want to hear my story?" After he calmed down, he stuffed peanuts into his mouth and spoke.
"Not really, I'm only interested in the stories of dead people." Jiang Chen refused.
Uncle Wei sat a little further away from him: "You kid is really a pervert."
"But in a sense, I, an old man, am also a dead man..."
As soon as these words came out.
Jiang Chen immediately looked over with shining eyes.
Old Wei felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, but he still spoke with a look of nostalgia.
"When I was young, there was war and chaos, and my family fled all the way from Nanchuan toJiangbei, fortunately, my family has some skills, so I didn't suffer too much. "
"After coming here, my father and his brothers saved a family business by exorcising evil spirits and ghosts for others."
"But once he went out to perform a ritual for someone, he came back at night with a coffin on his back. A blood-red ghost killed our whole family."
"Someone protected me and I escaped, but I didn't get away after all."
"My father seemed to have offended the blood-red ghost to death. After killing people, it stayed around and waited for my uncles and uncles to become ghosts, and then killed them again."
"I was unwilling to die. As soon as I became a ghost, I turned around and was stared at by the blood-red ghost."
"At that time, a woman came on the horse road outside. She was wearing ancient clothes and a green dress."
"I told her to run fast, but she walked towards me with a light smile. That smile was very warm, like my mother. ”
“The woman waved her hand, and the blood-robed evil ghost that had left our family with nowhere to go was torn into pieces.”
“She told me her name was Zhao Qingyi.”
“I begged her to kill me too. I’ve been exposed to Taoism since I was a child, and I know that after becoming a ghost, after six or seven days, I will become a monster completely controlled by obsession!”
“She smiled and said she was also a ghost, and said I was good.”
“Then she became my master, and I became a ghost cultivator.”
“Do you know what ghost cultivation is?”
“Using a ghost body, cultivating human thoughts.”
“In essence, we don’t think we are ghosts, we are just dead people.”
“We use the memories and thoughts of our past as humans to suppress our instinctive resentment and madness, so as to achieve a certain balance.”
“This is very difficult. Many people are completely swallowed up by resentment the moment they become ghosts. ”
“I have been with my master for many years, and I have never seen another ghost cultivator.”
“Later, when I had learned a lot, she said she was going to do something big, and entrusted me to the previous King Chujiang.”
“I have never seen her since then.”
“I went out to practice with the disciples of King Chujiang.”
“At that time, the underworld was gradually prospering, and the Dao League, which was once the only overlord of the world of strange people in Jiuzhou, became decadent.”
“When we came to Jiangbei City, we saw the corruption of the Dao League’s exorcists. The personnel stationed in a certain place would decide who to exorcise first according to how much money they were given, and even some poor families were directly abandoned.”
