I asked the silhouette: "A family with the surname Bao, is it Bao Xiaojie's family?"
"After I received this information, I came to this house to wait." For fifty years. But in the fiftieth year, another soul came. "
I said in astonishment, "Bao Xiaojie's soul?"
The man laughed coldly, "That's right. He also claimed to have received the message that he was coming to the Bao Clan to be reincarnated. At that time, the two of us were at loggerheads, so we started to fight. In the end, neither of us managed to win against the other. "
"Later we decided to go to the City God Temple and let the City God decide who should be reborn. That night, I went to the City God Temple early, but Bao Xiaojie was late. I was overjoyed. I knew this was my chance, so I knelt in front of the statue and wailed, "I've waited for fifty years, day and night, and I've finally had the chance to become a new person. However, someone is going to take it away from me."
"I cried for a long time, but the city did not come to life. On the other hand, an old ghost who was passing by heard my words and sympathized with me, so he comforted me and accompanied me to wait for the city's fall. We talked for a long time, as if we were close friends. "
"Later the moon rose higher and brighter. The moonlight shines on the statue of the city, and I suddenly realize that this old ghost and the city god look exactly the same. "
Mr. Zhao could not help but ask, "Is this old ghost the City Lord?"
The silhouette sighed, "At that time, I suspected the same, so I asked if it was the old geezer. The old man didn't answer me directly, but revealed an expression of reluctance. He told me that he hated me for meeting him so late. If I had come earlier, I would have been reincarnated. It's a pity that the other soul arrived earlier than me. "
"Then he took out a sheaf of paper money and said that another ghost had come by last night and bribed him to hold me back. And that ghost can take the opportunity to be reborn. "
All three of us were silent, even a little sympathetic to the figure.
"At that time, I could no longer afford to waste any more time with the Town Security." I returned to the Bao family as fast as I could. In fact, there was a trace of anticipation in my heart, because the due date had not arrived yet. Even if that ghost were to push me away, it might not be able to reincarnate. More importantly, I believe in destiny. "Since that secret message told me that I would reincarnate in the Bao Clan, there must be no mistake."
"Results... When I arrived at the Bao Family, I found out that the child has already been born, it's already too late. "
Inside the house was quiet, only the faint sounds of sobbing could be heard.
A few seconds later, I whispered, "You said that the due date had not come yet, so how come the baby was born?"
The figure let out a long sigh, "So that ghost was present in the pregnant woman's room while I was gone. The pregnant woman fainted from fright and the child was born prematurely. "
Then he smiled bitterly and said sadly, "Did you know? Pregnant women are pregnant with twins, but rural conditions are lagging behind and she doesn't know it herself. "
The figure began to laugh out loud, and no one knew how much grief and indignation his laughter contained. "Pitiful me and that ghost fought until the sky went dark, so it turns out that we were all right. Now, the other fetus is dead because it was born prematurely. Hahaha, hahaha. He survived, he was reborn, he became Bao Xiaojie. What about me? I've become a ghost. He had missed the chance to be reborn. "I wonder how long I'll have to wait until the next time when I become a person."
We didn't know what to say.
The figure laughed for a while and said, "According to the customs here, even if you are stillborn, you still need to be buried. The funeral, however, was much simpler. It's just a wooden chest, put the fetal body inside, then put a set of small clothes inside, then casually sell it on the roadside without even a grave. "
"I thought about taking revenge on Bao Xiaojie. However, ever since the incident last time, there have been a lot of deities in the Bao Family, so I didn't dare to cause trouble here. So I went to the town to reason with him. "
"At the beginning, the city elder was polite and promised me a place to live in the temple of the city god, where I could also eat some leftovers. But I won't. I insist on taking back what belongs to me. I want to be a man. I want to be like Bao Xiaojie, have a mother's love, have a family, and have a childhood. "
"Later on, when I pestered the City Lord to the point where he had no other choice, he agreed to help me. He took me down a path and pushed me, and I fell in and couldn't get out. It's called the Rain Market. "
I sighed and said, "So, you endured in the Rain City for so many years. When Bao Xiaojie accidentally entered the Rain City, you stole his body?"
The figure shook his head, "His body was taken by an even stronger ghost. Hehe, you think it's funny but not funny? When you are a human, there is no justice in this world. Isn't it the same if you become a ghost? However, I heard that the evil ghost only borrowed his body for a short while. After it escaped from the rain market, it casually threw away his body. "
I nodded: "That's right, I heard that when Bao Xiaojie was found, he was unconscious on the side of the road. At that time, his body will only be left with an empty shell. "
The silhouette sighed, "I had thought that I would be stuck in the Rain City for the rest of my life, unable to take revenge. Who knew that a few months later, a Master would come to the Rain City and claim that he was looking for Bao Xiaojie's soul? He followed Bao Xiaojie's "birthdate" all the way here, and found me in the end. "Because we are so similar in terms of eight characters and we are inextricably linked."
"I told the Master what had happened to me, and the Master sympathized with me. Decided to help me. Thus, he brought me out of the rain market and allowed me to enter Bao Xiaojie's body. From then on, I am Bao Xiaojie. "
The Mr. Zhao held his chin in his hand and listened for a while, then said: "Even so, you have only occupied Bao Xiaojie's body, what kind of heaven's will do it?"
The figure said excitedly, "Didn't you understand? This body is mine. It's mine. "
The Mr. Zhao said, "In the past, there were two babies among pregnant women, one alive and one dead. How do you know the dead one isn't yours? "
At this time, the figure had calmed down. He sneered, "It doesn't matter if the one who is alive is mine or the one who is dead is mine. In short, this body is mine now. Heaven's Mandate. Don't you believe it? I can tell you why. "
Mr. Zhao said, "I'm all ears."
The figure said, "I didn't live more than a day before my body died. Although I was a ghost, I still have my lifespan. Master took away my lifespan, and his method of opening the altar expended a lot of energy, making me and this body have fifty years of fate. So, in the next fifty years, this body will be mine. After fifty years, even if my body were to return to Bao Xiaojie, I won't care anymore. "
After Xia Xin heard this, she lightly said, "You've been tricked."
The silhouette halted abruptly. After a long while, he asked, "What do you mean?"
Xia Xin said, "Let the body belong to you within fifty years. This required a lot of skill. Someone who can do this, even if he isn't a deity, is more or less enough. I'm sure that your master doesn't have that kind of ability. "
The silhouette was unwilling to give up, "But I feel that my physical body and I are one and the same. It's definitely not a simple possession or a redemption, I can feel it. "
Mr. Zhao said with some sympathy: "That master did indeed help you do things. However, the fate between you and this body is not fifty years, but fifty days. It had only been a month. I have calculated the days, the fate between you and your physical body is about to come to an end. "
The figure was stunned.
Mr. Zhao asked: That master, how much lifespan did he take away from you?
The silhouette's voice was somewhat hoarse as he replied, "All of them."
The Mr. Zhao sighed, "You died before you could even be born, so you have a lifespan. You can't be reincarnated until your lifespan runs out. Until then, you will wander the world in the form of a ghost. In the process, because you have the protection of your lifespan, you won't be scared out of your mind. But now, your lifespan is gone, and your physical body is about to disappear as well. "It's very difficult for you to persevere for dozens of years in the rough weather, alternating between morning and evening, and between Yin and Yang …"
The man's voice was somewhat dry. "You mean, I will die soon?"
The Mr. Zhao replied, "The soul will become weaker and weaker. In the end, it won't be able to hold on and will break into pieces and disappear forever."
The silhouette shook his head vigorously, as if trying to cheer himself up, "Impossible, impossible, you're lying to me."
Mr. Zhao said, "If you don't believe me, you can go take a look yourself."
He stood up, walked to the back of the curtain in large strides, and then untied the red rope from the tiger head shoe.
The tiger head shoe landed on the ground, I felt a faintly discernable cold wind from the Inside the house.
The three of us followed closely behind, following the cold wind to Bao Xiaojie's door.
Two minutes later, Bao Xiaojie opened the door with a gloomy face.
After the Mr. Zhao entered, he sat on the chair and asked Bao Xiaojie: "How is it?"
Bao Xiaojie nodded, his voice sounding as hoarse as the figure just now, "I felt it. This physical body and my soul really didn't match at the beginning. Their relationship is loosening, and I don't have much time left. "
The Mr. Zhao said, "You are going to die soon anyway. Do you want me to do a good thing and help you find Bao Xiaojie's soul? "
I thought: "Is there such a thing as asking for help?" It would be weird if this guy was willing to agree. "
Sure enough, Bao Xiaojie shook his head.
Mr. Zhao said somewhat angrily: "Brat, I have given you face today. If you don't agree, I can directly use Bao Xiaojie's body to search. At that time, if your soul is still inside his body, and if something goes wrong, don't blame me. "
Bao Xiaojie's expression turned odd as he looked at Mr. Zhao and said, "My soul and body, although their relationship has loosened. But he still belongs to me. The connection between him and Bao Xiaojie's soul had already been severed. You cannot find Bao Xiaojie using this body. "
