If a person wanted to raise a little kid, the first thing he had to do was wipe away the little kid's emotions and desires. The imp was like a toothless tiger without emotions or desires, and could no longer harm his master.
Although it was not 100% safe, in most cases it worked. Without the seven emotions and six desires, he did not know what hatred was. Naturally, he was willing to be manipulated by his master, without any thoughts of resistance.
Back then, when Grandpa Gu refined A Chang into a little kid, he had also erased his emotions and desires. Logically speaking, these emotions and desires should be destroyed. However, Grandpa Gu didn't do so and kept it.
The reason why Grandfather Gu kept A Chang's seven emotions and six desires was obviously not to return them to him one day and let him gain his freedom.
In our plans to kill A Chang, this plan is extremely important.
Grandpa Gu's face was very calm when he said this, but there was a trace of pride in his eyes, as if a sculptor was talking about his own work of art. He looked at us under the light and said with a smile, "I don't know if it's because I have too much foresight, or because I was blessed with a strong spirit, but just when I was about to destroy those seven emotions and six desires, I suddenly had a thought and let them stay. What if A Chang falls out of my control one day? What if one day he was manipulated? All these emotions and desires of mine are enough to deal with him. "
Grandpa Gu sighed and said, "As expected, this kid went back on his word. They were used by the owner of the tomb. "He really doesn't have seven emotions and six desires anymore, but under the control of the tomb owner, he hates me to death …"
I said to Grandpa Gu, "Even if he doesn't have a grave owner, he should still hate you to death."
Grandpa Gu waved his hand. Let's not talk about this anymore. Our plan is. When you go back, act like nothing happened. "Wait until tonight, and get him out of the yard."
"I'll set up a room across the street. The Inside the house had his seven emotions and six desires. All he had to do was see these things and find them again. "Then she will no longer be my little ghost, and she will no longer be the victim of the tomb master."
My eyes lit up when I heard this. "Is it that simple to be an accomplice and to be free? So, you can just recover your emotions and Six Desire Devil Lord? "
Grandpa Gu guessed my mood. He looked at me with sympathy and said, "We can only cut off the connection between master and his accomplice in a short period of time. It's too long. "
I could only sit back down dejectedly.
Grandpa Gu said, "When he recovers his seven emotions and six desires, our chance will come. Without a tomb master, A Chang was just a normal brat that anyone could deal with. Then, the big fellows swarmed over and killed him to the point that his soul was about to leave his body. Is it very simple? "
We all nodded. "Simple."
Grandpa Gu continued, "During this period of time, you must be careful and not miss a thing. If he finds out you're lying to him, or if he finds out I'm nearby. He might notify the grave owner. At that time, everyone will be in danger. "
We agreed. Then I said to Grandpa Gu, "Are you going to take a step back? In case A Chang sees you, things will become complicated. "
Grandpa Gu said, "No, I have to be nearby. If anything goes wrong, you can fix it in time. Don't worry, I will be hiding so that A Chang won't not see me. "
Actually, I know in my heart that Grandpa Gu didn't do it to make amends or make amends. He doesn't trust us, he has to keep an eye out for us.
It was really tiring to work with an old fogey who kept everything to himself.
After we discussed the plan, the Mr. Zhao ordered a bowl of broth for us.
Puzzled, I asked, "What are you planning to do?"
Mr. Zhao picked up the bowl of broth and said seriously, "I will use the broth in place of wine to toast everyone."
Xia Xin and I both spat on the ground before standing up and leaving. Even Grandfather Gu had a strange expression on his face as he looked at Mr. Zhao, and then he left.
Mr. Zhao muttered: "This soup tastes really good."
He finished half of the broth in a gulp and then wiped his mouth before quickly catching up.
Grandpa Gu paid the boss and then cupped his fist towards us and said, "From now on, we are friends. If you need my help, this old man is duty-bound. "
We all said the same thing.
Of course, Grandpa Gu's words were completely a trick, and we weren't sincere.
Grandpa Gu opened the door and was the first to leave. When the three of us were about to go out, the Lady Boss stopped us again.
Afraid that she would change her mind, I quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
The Lady Boss took out a dagger and said, "This is for you."
I didn't dare to answer. "What is this for?"
The Lady Boss patiently explained to me, "This thing can ward off evil spirits. You may often see it protecting you when necessary. "
I thought: Can a ghost give me something that can ward off evil? What kind of logic was this?
Still, I took the dagger.
When the Lady Boss saw me putting away the dagger, she smiled and said, "This dagger has another use. When you meet my enemy, I will immediately know, even if you don't have the time to tell me. "
I thought about it and decided it wasn't a bad thing, so I agreed.
As we walked out of the noodle shop, we suddenly realized that the weather outside was very strange. What appeared before us was a strange scene.
Around the noodle store, a chilly wind was blowing, causing people to shiver. Dozens of steps away, countless flames fell from the sky like rain, smashing into the ground and creating countless tiny sparks.
I asked the Mr. Zhao: "What's going on?"
The Mr. Zhao said, "It's already dawn outside. It's the sun. The flames that we are looking at right now are actually Yang Qi. "
I asked the Mr. Zhao, "Is it the Yang World over there? "Then where are we?"
The Mr. Zhao shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know where the noodle shop is.
He patted me on the shoulder. "We've been in the noodle shop a little too long. It would be better if he returned to the mortal world at night. During the day, if he were to return to the outside world, he might not be able to adapt to the yang energy and would be burned. Let's go back by boat. "
I looked at Mr. Zhao in bewilderment. "Ride on a boat? There's a boat here? There's a river here? "
The Mr. Zhao covered my eyes and whispered into my ear, "In the human world, water flowing in the earth is a river. Here, the yin aura flows in the yang energy and is also a river. "
Then he took his hand away. I opened my eyes and saw a river.
However, this river was different from the other rivers in the human world. It was suspended in the air, coiled and coiled, as if it were a dragon, head first into the human world dozens of steps away.
I asked the Mr. Zhao, "Did I see an illusion?"
Mr. Zhao laughed: "You can understand it as an illusion. This river was actually yin energy. The Yin Qi that led to the human world. "Go, from here you can safely return to the human world."
Before I could say anything, the Mr. Zhao reached out and pushed me into the river.
I felt that the river was alive, and it carried me quickly forward toward the flames.
In the process, I felt that the river itself was changing. The first cold turned warm, then hot, then like a pot of boiling water, the heat made my whole body feel uncomfortable.
With a "weng" sound, I arrived at the sea of fire. The light from the fire was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes.
After a while, I got used to the light. When I opened my eyes, the flames were gone, and the river behind me was gone. I am sitting in the middle of a group of waste grave.
The midday sun was shining on me. Logically speaking, the sun at this time of year wasn't hot, but I was sweating profusely.
I think because I stayed in the noodle shop for a long time, my body was filled with Yin Qi, so I was particularly afraid of heat. I need to find a shade to slow down and get my body used to it.
I got up from the ground and turned around to see Xia Xin sitting beside me. Her eyes were closed, as if she were asleep.
I prodded Xia Xin. "How are you?"
Upon contact, I was shocked. Xia Xin's body was ice-cold. I looked at her in astonishment. Could something have happened?
I put my hand under Xia Xin's nose and probed her nose. She was dead.
While I was panicking, Xia Xin suddenly opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "What are you doing?"
I retracted my hand. "Just now when you were sitting here without moving, I thought that you had died?"
Xia Xin wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "I'm fine. My body just returned to the human world from the noodle house and I'm still not used to it. After all, I'm not really a living person. "Right, where's your second uncle?"
I searched for a while, but didn't find any trace of the Mr. Zhao. I called out, "Second Uncle, where are you?"
Then, Mr. Zhao responded and walked out from behind a tree. His face was not red, and his heart was not beating fast. He looked very energetic, as if he had not just come out from the noodle shop, but had stayed in this world all this time.
Xia Xin looked at Mr. Zhao, and said with a fake smile: "You sure have a lot of secrets on you huh. Returning to the human world from a place as dense as Yin Qi, my body hasn't changed at all? "
Mr. Zhao took this opportunity to boast, "I have been practicing the Child Arts since I was young and my body is very sturdy. Don't even talk about returning to the human world from the noodle shop. Even if I escaped from Yama Temple, I would still be fine … "
Xia Xin laughed and walked into the village.
When we arrived at the Fengxiang's canteen, we saw that the door was shut tight. The couple probably hadn't woken up yet. There were a few old men strolling by the entrance of the canteen. I heard them mumbling, saying that it was fine if the people in this small shop spoke badly, but now they were not even opening their doors to do business, they were truly infuriating.
We didn't dare open the door and go in. We went around to a deserted corner and climbed over the wall.
A Chang was hiding in a room, breathing heavily. He saw us coming back. He immediately stood up from the chair and said with glowing eyes, "I thought of a few types of torture that could torture ancient head's corpse."
The three of us looked at each other, then stammered at A Chang: "Mn, alright. Let's study it together. "
A Chang was originally in high spirits and wanted to talk about his torture methods, but he suddenly stopped and looked at us, saying faintly, "There's something wrong with the three of you."
