LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 99
Chapter 98
‘The book of seducing souls’, as the name suggests, is a handbook used by underworld messengers to seduce souls and seize ghosts.
Like “Zou Wu Chang” Xi Haihong signed a supernumerary agreement with the underworld government, and also has a booklet in her hand, but it is only the initial level.
Its cover is light gray, and it generally only updates the new dead souls in the area that ‘Zou Wu Chang’ is in charge of, so that they can exercise their rights as envoys and send these ghosts to the underworld one by one.
The authority of this book held by Gu Zhisang is much greater, it is at the same level as the ‘Book of Souls’ used by Black and White Wuchang, basically including the records of death and life in the entire Xia Kingdom.
In addition, it also records those fugitive ghosts who have become vicious ghosts and are unwilling to be included in the underworld, so that once the ghosts find some traces of ghosts when they walk in the underworld, they can correspond to the identity information of the fugitive ghosts , to help the ghosts catch these ghosts.
The principle of ‘Ecstasy Book’ is very simple.
It is assigned by the Palace of Hades, but it comes from the laws of the world.
When every soul is born between heaven and earth, a ray of soul power will be extracted by the power of the law, and then sealed into the ‘Ecstasy Book’, which is equivalent to filing in Yangjian.
Since then, whether this soul is born or died, or reincarnated and reborn, every time the soul changes, it will leave traces on the “Ecstasy Book”.
In the hand of Hades of the Ten Temples of Yincao Difu, the highest-authority “Hunting Book” is able to see all the reincarnation experiences, past, blessings and sins of a soul.
At the same time, when the ghosts seduce the soul, they also rely on the sealed ray of soul power in the ‘Houl Seduction Book’.
Once someone dies in the yang world, and the soul is completely disconnected from the body, the records about this soul in the “Ecstasy Book” will change, and its specific death date, place, and reason will appear.
Afterwards, Yinchai and ‘Zouwuchang’ could use the sealed soul power on the ‘Ecstasy Book’ to sense the specific location of the corresponding soul, and then appear beside the ghost and bring it into the underworld.
But there are always some ghosts who are too fond of the human world, or have great hatred, and will gain great power because of strong emotions.
They can use these powers to cover up their aura.
As soon as the aura is hidden, the ‘Ecstasy Book’ will naturally be unable to connect with the soul itself, and the ghost’s whereabouts record will be lost, making it impossible to sense the ghost’s impermanence.
Such ghosts will be marked as wanted.
Obviously, the Xu Youhan mentioned by ‘Jasmine Fragrance’ is such a ghost on the run.
Gu Zhisang took a look at the records on the ‘Hunting Book’, it was written in a short line:
‘ Beaten to death. ‘
She thought for a while, and stretched out her fingertips to touch Xu Youhan’s name on the booklet, that is, to touch the ray of soul power that was sealed in the ‘Ecstasy Book’ by the laws of heaven and earth, and try to ‘sympathize’.
Xia Guo’s Xuanmen’s “communication” spell is similar to the “dream spell”, “soul search spell” and the “telepathy” abroad.
It is all through sensing the soul power of the other party, and temporarily substituting oneself into this power.
In a very short moment, the mysterious master seemed to be the person involved, and the deep memories, emotions, and even thoughts hidden deep in the soul of the same source would be sensed by the mysterious master.
The more powerful a profound master is, the more information he can capture in an instant.
Gu Zhisang only said “Let me do the math”, and then closed his eyes.
When the fingertips touched the soul power in the ‘Ecstasy Book’, Gu Zhisang’s consciousness entered a misty space, as if wrapped in a layer of drum skin;
She knew that she had temporarily sensed the origin of Xu Youhan’s soul, and successfully established a weak connection with it.
Xu Youhan hid his breath very well, and there was no flaw.
What she cares more about now is not the hiding place of the other party.
When she was tentatively touching the memory in the depths of her soul, some extremely deep and indelible memory traces burst into her mind.
At this moment, a ghost hiding somewhere sensed the connection established in the soul.
Its expression changed suddenly, and the yin energy around it suddenly became manic, directly cutting off the subtle and imperceptible contract in the soul, its pale and transparent complexion was gloomy and ugly, and its eyes were gloomy with resentment.
Gu Zhisang, who had his ‘Empathy’ spell cut off, opened his eyes, only a few seconds passed.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn’t expect that Xu Youhan was more cautious and smarter than she imagined, and he could find out and cut off the spell so quickly.
But it was too late, and some of the leaked memories were ‘seen’ by her for a moment.
After sorting out these messy fragments, as well as various situations that happened to the husband of ‘Jasilixiang’, as well as his appearance, Gu Zhisang deduced the cause of the whole incident.
She had a complicated tone, looked at the camera and said:
“In the middle of the night last month, you received an order for a car in the middle of the night, and went to a vocational technical school to pick up three students from the school, and went to the new suburb in the north of the city.
Among the three students was Xu Youhan. “
Recalling the appearance in the clip, Gu Zhisang described: “He should be thinner, of medium height with fairer skin, with glasses and a clean and handsome appearance, in short, he doesn’t fit in with the other two.
When the three of them got into the car, there were some conflicts. You noticed this incident, and you should also clearly know that the relationship between them is not good. “
Listening to Gu Zhisang’s description, ‘Jasmine Fragrance”s husband’s bluish face was even more ugly, and his pupils trembled.
Why can this woman describe what happened that day in such detail? !
It was as if there was a fourth person who got into his car at that time!
He started to feel panic.
These days of physical and psychological torture had already made him miserable. Listening to those descriptions, he couldn’t help but recall the scene of that afternoon in his mind.
Everything is as Gu Zhisang said.
It was almost five o’clock in the afternoon, and this order was his first order of the day. When the three students got on the bus, he realized something was wrong.
The boy in the middle is fair and clean, but his hair is messy and his face is not very good-looking. The young men on both sides are much stronger than him, and they almost dragged him into the car.
As soon as he pushed him into the car door, he glared angrily and wanted to grab the door, ‘Are you out of your mind? I said no…’
But then he was hit by one of them on the side of the face and ears, and the crisp sound of the beating directly knocked off the glasses on his face.
‘Don’t be ashamed of your mother, what kind of wool are you? Inviting you to your birthday will open the eyes of you, a bumpkin, and you are still putting on airs? ‘
After the young man finished cursing, he said the address of a villa in the new suburb of the north of the city, ‘Drive the driver, drive faster. ‘
At this moment, the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ who was sitting in the driver’s seat frowned.
He knew very well that the boy in the middle should be being bullied.
From the rearview mirror, he could clearly see that the side face of the boy was flushed red after being punched, and the assailant wrapped his arms around his neck in a threatening posture.
‘Have you ever drank wine? Have you tried white truffle and Kobe beef? My buddy sees you as pitiful as a frog in a well, show mercy, don’t be ungrateful. ‘
Another young man was grinning and holding up his mobile phone, watching the bullying farce.
The more the husband of ‘Jasilixiang’ looked at it, the more angry he felt, because the young man who was bullied in the middle seemed to be only twenty years old, the same age as his son.
At this moment, the boy broke away from the perpetrator’s restraint in silence, clenched his glasses tightly in his hands, and said to the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ holding back his anger:
“Master, please pull over, I don’t know these two people at all, and I don’t go with them. They forced me to get in the car.” ‘
‘ Where are you? ‘
The irritable young man jumped up and pressed down on the boy to punch and kick him. Seeing that he was so fierce that he didn’t lose his strength at all, he wished he could beat him to death.
The husband of ‘Jasilixiang’ was startled by the movement behind him, couldn’t sit still immediately, stepped on the brake, turned his head and said:
‘Hey, what are you doing, young man? You can’t bully people like this. Did you invite me like this? ‘
‘Nima, who cares about your own business? An old thing with poor driving is here to teach me a lesson? ’ The rogue young man turned around, grabbed the back of the co-pilot’s seat and stared at Jasmine’s husband, spittle flying from his mouth, making a gesture to beat him up.
‘Who told you to stop? Believe it or not, I will beat you up together! ‘
‘Jasmine’s husband was furious, ‘How do you talk, young man? Do you have the quality? ‘
At this time, another young man who was watching the opera jumped out and sang bad faces, patted his friend on the shoulder and said, “Uncle, don’t mind, he just doesn’t know what to say. We are really in the same class. We have agreed today.” Going to celebrate a friend’s birthday, the two of them had some conflicts, so they quarreled. ‘
‘Don’t worry about them, hurry up and drive, we have to rush to arrive before the scheduled time, we will complain if we delay the time. ‘
The husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ received the reservation form, and he has no right to cancel it after receiving it. Once the passenger complains about being late, he will be compensated ten times the unit price.
This order is not cheap. If he is really complained, he will be deducted hundreds of dollars and his credit score will drop.
After hesitating again and again, and worried that he would be beaten and scolded by another young gangster behind him if he didn’t drive, the husband of ‘Jasilixiang’ finally stepped on the accelerator and started the car:
‘ Stop bullying people. ‘
‘ Don’t worry uncle, I said it just for fun. ‘
Due to the presence of such an ignorant guy like him, the young man who was dragged like a two hundred and five on the other side also gave him a hard look, but didn’t make any more moves.
The moment the car started, the husband of ‘Ja Lixiang’ saw the embarrassed young man in the middle of the rearview mirror.
With disappointment in his eyes, he pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Seeing that look, the husband of ‘Ja Lixiang’ felt a little guilty and ashamed, and he was thinking about how to make up for this boy in his mind.
Thinking about waiting for the place, after the person who placed the order clicked to confirm the delivery, if the boy still wanted to leave, he would send him back for free.
Gu Zhisang’s voice pulled him out of his memory:
“Then you sent the three of them to the place and left. You should have seen Xu Youhan’s predicament at that time, and you also knew quite well that he was actually being bullied.
But you didn’t take it seriously. “
“The next day, the police informed you that Xu Youhan was dead, and asked you to go to the police station to record a statement and ask if you saw anything that night, but you didn’t tell the truth, right?”
Gu Zhisang’s voice was a bit cold: “You clearly saw that he was being bullied, but you didn’t tell the truth, which caused him to hate you along with him after he died wronged.”
‘Jasmine Fragrance’ felt a little depressed when she heard this, and pushed her husband directly:
“Why did you say that! Didn’t you tell the police that you didn’t see anything? Didn’t you say that there was no conflict in the car? Why didn’t you help that kid?!”
Gu Zhisang didn’t speak, because the question of ‘Jasmine Fragrance’ was also her curiosity.
She just saw the scene where Xu Youhan was forced to get into the car.
Then the shaking scene, full of anger and powerlessness, was that he was pushed to the ground and beaten by a group of young people, humiliated.
Before she could read the whole thing, the other party discovered her peeping and disconnected the connection of the soul’s ’empathy’ technique.
‘Ja Lixiang”s husband did not tell the truth and concealed the truth, and she guessed from the past and the consequences that he helped several murderers cover up.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xu Youhan hated a driver who had nothing to do with his death.
Unless this driver was once a part of his death.
Hearing her determined tone, the middle-aged man who originally had a low psychological defense line completely broke his defenses.
His eyeballs were cloudy and bloodshot. It was obvious that he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep these days and was being tortured by this incident.
He swept away all the goods on the counter and growled, “You let me take care of it, how can I take care of it?!”
“My mother, my mother has an old child, and I have a young child. Do you need money for the mortgage for the two children to go to school? Do you need money for my father and your mother’s illness? How dare I ask you? What happened to our family? Are you happy? I don’t have the guts, I’m not a hero who sacrifices himself to save others!”
The hysterical appearance of the man shocked ‘Jasmine Fragrance’.
She looked at her husband, who was covering his face and crying loudly, and her nose was a little sore. This was the first time she saw her husband in such a mess.
“Then tell me, you have a hidden secret, and now there are 20 million people watching.” ‘Jasilixiang’ couldn’t help crying, “You don’t even know that our son has been implicated by this incident, the master said That young man who died unjustly has grievances that will affect everyone in our family!”
After a few minutes, the man managed to stabilize his emotions.
He wiped away his tears, his expression was a little numb, and he finally told the truth of that day in a hoarse voice.
It turned out that when he started, he thought about helping that young man.
Then the car arrived at the place, and he waited for the man to order delivery, and was about to call Xu Youhan.
As a result, he saw several young lads walking out of the villa area over there in a foolish manner, and walked up to the car, ‘Why are you here so late? ‘
‘People don’t give face. ‘
A gangster glanced at ‘Jasmine’s’ husband, ‘Who is this? ‘
Seeing seven or eight young boys who were tall, tall, and strong, were staring at her, the justice in her husband’s heart and the courage to stand out were all extinguished at this moment.
He heard the vicious voice of the beating gangster: “Don’t be meddlesome in the future, shut up when you shouldn’t speak up, I have your mobile phone number, it’s easy to check you!” Get out now! ‘
The driver’s phone number is indeed marked on the taxi-hailing platform, and they can indeed see it if they have just placed an order.
When the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ stepped on the accelerator and drove out, his heart was still beating a little fast.
From the rearview mirror, he could see several young people pushing the person in the middle, and some kicking the boy’s leg with his feet.
He parked the car on the side of the road after driving two sections of road.
On one side was the vicious threat from the other party just now, and on the other side was the balance of justice in his heart. He hesitated to pick up his mobile phone and wanted to call the police, but he was afraid of getting into trouble.
Just as he unlocked the screen, the platform popped up another dispatch message, automatically dispatching nearby orders to him.
The passenger called him, and when he got through, he said he was in a hurry and hoped he could arrive soon.
After hanging up the phone, the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ finally suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and drove to pick up new passengers.
When he was young, he also spent a period of time sideways, was beaten by others, and also beat others by relying on secondary school.
If it was that time, he would definitely stand up.
The bruised nose and swollen face of being beaten had to “fight hard” with others, at worst, he would sacrifice his life for righteousness, but now he has been smoothed by life, and he can’t do it bravely.
It’s fine.
‘Jasmine’s husband comforted himself in his heart.
These young lads are also the former him, because of a little friction, they will go to war, and since they are all boys, nothing big will happen…
As he thought about it, he kept the matter in his heart for the time being.
When he was called to the police station the next day and learned that the quiet boy yesterday had died, he was beaten alive until his internal organs ruptured and hemorrhaged, the husband of ‘Ja Lixiang’ was at a loss and couldn’t believe it. of.
What followed was huge guilt, regret, all kinds of emotions wrapped him up, and he couldn’t help but think about what if he had blocked it yesterday;
If he hadn’t been beaten because he was afraid of getting into trouble, he parked the car on the side of the road and didn’t send the boy over, wouldn’t everything today not have happened?
The policeman asked him if he saw the boy named Xu Youhan, who was the deceased, arguing with other people when he was in the car.
At that time, the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ thought to himself that he had already been timid for a while, and he must help this boy to seek justice!
When he was about to answer, a police officer knocked on the door and came in, saying that his wife was very worried and asked him to go out and meet with his wife to reassure her.
When he walked to the hall in a daze, his wife greeted him: “You almost scared me to death…”
The noise on the other side caught his attention. He looked up and saw several middle-aged men and women also in the hall.
These are the parents of the children suspected of the murder.
They surrounded the two police officers and shouted innocently, saying that their child was only 20 years old, how obedient and obedient he was, and that it was impossible for him to beat his classmate to death, so he must have been wronged.
Seeing the ‘Jaslixiang’ couple in the hall, one of the women suddenly came over:
‘You are the brother driver that the police said yesterday, right? You have to testify to my child, he didn’t kill anyone, why did my child become a murderer when he went to a class reunion? This **** pot can’t be pinned on our family! ‘
Others also shouted: “What you said, my son would not do such a thing. If I knew it earlier, I shouldn’t let him go. It’s really bad luck!” ‘
‘…’
The middle-aged woman who yelled at the beginning was the mother of the young gangster who beat people the most in the car.
Among the chattering crowd, when the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ saw the face of a middle-aged man, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously blocked his wife behind him.
He lowered his head to avoid looking, his palms were trembling slightly.
He knows this man.
Twenty years ago, when he still dreamed of being a young and Dangerous boy, he followed a “big brother” and a group of brothers on the road every day, drinking, singing and bragging, and had several group fights.
It was at that time that he met this man.
At that time, the “big brother” he followed had to shout “brother” when he saw this person. One time when they were singing in KTV, they had a conflict with other people. Piercing someone’s arm with broken glass is very ruthless.
Although this person is much older now, and he seems to have returned to a normal life in a suit and leather shoes, but the husband of ‘Jasmine’ has a deep memory of the tattoo on the side of his neck.
He saw the man approaching and helped the emotional middle-aged woman, “Sister, don’t get excited, I know my nephew would not do such impulsive things, the police officers will find out the truth.” ‘
After the man finished speaking, he still wanted to shake hands with himself in a friendly manner.
The husband of ‘Jasilixiang’ still froze and didn’t stretch out his hand, when the police officer inside came out and scolded, ‘What’s the trouble? This is the police station, don’t make too much noise. ‘
In a trance, he followed the police officer and walked in again, his mind was full of the previous and just pictures, and his mind was very confused.
Now that social stability has hit hard again, that man must not be as arrogant as before, don’t be afraid of him…
Besides, he was just a little guy back then, a little follower, so he definitely doesn’t remember himself.
‘Jasmine’s husband became more and more frightened as he thought about it.
What if?
Seeing that this man is dressed like a dog, he should be very rich now, right?
If he still has that kind of power, if he is the kind of rogue who collects protection fees, because he reported his nephew and hated him, then his family’s shops that have been open for more than ten years are all here, and his daughter has just passed the exam. Very good key high school, my wife is an ordinary housewife…
And he himself is not a young and Dangerous boy, just an ordinary person who is middle-aged, has a lot of debts and is timid.
The other party really retaliated against him, how should he protect his family?
The voice of the police officer is still in my ears: ‘Did you really not find any clues? Did they rub when they were in the car? ‘
After a moment of silence, the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ said in a muffled voice: ‘There is no…conflict. ‘
‘I didn’t see or hear anything ahead. ‘
‘It seems that they are ordinary classmates, so they should not be forced…’
When he walked out of the police station, the husband of ‘Ja Lixiang’ felt very bitter. He heard his wife talking beside him:
“Didn’t you see that the mother of the young man who died just now came, sitting on the ground of the police station and crying, half of her hair was cut out in plain clothes, poor…”
He was furious: ‘Stop talking! ‘
He didn’t want to hear any more news about this matter, he just wanted to let this matter pass as soon as possible and return to normal life as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he will feel that he is also an accomplice.
—
When recalling this, the husband of ‘Jasmine’ couldn’t go on talking anymore, he sat on the chair with blank eyes and muttered to himself:
“I’m not a murderer. I didn’t harm anyone. Why do you keep pestering me? Why don’t you go to those who killed him? I’m afraid I’m timid and afraid. I have children and have concerns. Is this also my fault? ?!”
He hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since the incident.
Later, I gradually woke up in the middle of the night, feeling weak, limp, and unable to breathe.
Later, he would often dream of the dead young man, with a pale face and gloomy eyes staring at himself.
Obviously, he just took a quick look in the rearview mirror, but every facial feature of the other party was very clear in the dream.
‘Jasmine’s husband finally determined that he was entangled by something.
The dead young man hated him and came to take revenge on him.
He was aggrieved, puzzled, and felt that although he had the guts to tell a lie, he deserved to die. In those few days, he frantically searched for ways to exorcise evil spirits on the Internet.
What kind of great compassion mantra, the Diamond Sutra has been recited over and over again, but it doesn’t work.
Accidentally, he clicked into a forum, and the host on it said that he used to have a special physique, and he was always scared when he saw Ah Piao, but his body became much better after getting Zhong Kui tattooed.
Many people below echoed him, saying that Zhong Kui was originally the **** of catching ghosts and the **** ghosts are most afraid of, but he can only be tattooed on his back.
After several times of checking, the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ would put all his eggs in one basket and change his tattoo despite the unbearable pain and inflammation in his back, in order to drive away the young ghost who was haunting him.
Gu Zhisang sighed softly, and said, “It’s not just haunting you, other people have also been revenged, and the situation is much more serious than yours.”
According to the ‘Hunting Book’, two people have already died.
Others also suffered injuries of varying severity, and are still suffering from the invasion of Yin Sha to this day.
These people should be the ones who participated in the beating.
As the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ said, he has his own concerns, fearing that his family will be retaliated against.
From the perspective of the law of the yang world, he did not participate in the murder process, and the concealed facts are difficult to be judged as perjury.
But from a moral point of view, he did conceal the pain suffered by the deceased Xu Youhan and helped the murderer cover up.
The man was still shaking his head, “I didn’t commit a crime, why bother me…why…”
Gu Zhisang frowned and did not speak for a long time.
Human affairs are always complicated, and everyone has different criteria for judging. This incident has caused wider discussions than previous incidents, and the comment section of the live broadcast room has different opinions.
She looked into the camera and said, “I can’t judge the punishment for the crime.”
In the final analysis, she is just a spectator of these events, not the judge of the world, not the Lord of Hades in the region.
“But I should know why it haunts you.”
The husband of ‘Jasilixiang’ raised his head in a daze, and looked at his wife’s hand—the source of the voice.
He heard the woman in the live broadcast in his hand say:
“You had a tattoo of ‘Guan Gong with a knife’ on your body before, right? Do the world’s sinister people’ symbol.
He is an upright god. If you tattoo him on your body, it depends on whether your fate can afford it. If you are not such a person, you will conflict with the energy He manifests. “
Gu Zhisang’s tone was complicated, and he continued: “When you tattooed him, you should have heard of these symbols and allusions. At that time, you should have said something similar to a promise, which added to the spirit of words and exacerbated the ‘holding the knife Guan Gong’. ‘ Manifestation in you.”
Listening to Gu Zhisang’s voice, ‘Jaslixiang”s husband couldn’t help thinking of twenty years ago.
When he went to get a tattoo with a group of brothers, he really heard from the owner of the tattoo shop that Guan Erye was unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, and his symbolic meaning was excellent.
At that time, he didn’t have so many worries, he was only full of enthusiasm and loyalty, yearning for the loyalty and courage of the knight in the movie.
When he sees some movie plots, or gets drunk at the wine table, he will be filled with righteous indignation and say to his friends: ‘If I encounter such a thing, I will definitely be the first to go up and help! ‘
What he didn’t know was that it was he who repeatedly emphasized that he had to be loyal and brave, and that he would draw his sword to help when encountering injustice, which made the “Guan Gong with a knife” in him manifest extremely strongly.
When he really flinched after encountering Xu Youhan’s matter, it was contrary to the manifestation power he had piled up with words.
Xu Youhan, who died and turned into a ghost, could see Guan Gong faintly imprinted on his back through his clothes, and the imprint manifested in his soul.
Listening to the lies spoken by ‘Jaslixiang’ husband at the police station, and looking at the manifestation of Guan Gong on him, Xu Youhan felt that this man was really hypocritical and ridiculous when he thought of what happened to him.
How does he match Guan Gong?
How dare you say you are loyal? !
The sane ghost who was swept away by resentment just wanted to tear this man’s shameless face, and felt happy in his heart seeing how frightened he was.
Perhaps at the beginning, it really didn’t think about killing ‘Jasmine’s’ husband, but just wanted to vent its grievances and anger, and wanted him to apologize to itself and make him regret for perjury.
Who would have thought that the other party had a tattoo of ‘Zhong Kui’s body’ overnight.
When it got close to the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ again, it was directly injured by Zhong Kui’s seal, which aroused its monstrous anger, linked to the resentment of death, and then attacked him indiscriminately to kill him.
After Gu Zhisang finished his conjecture, ‘Jasmine Fragrance”s husband remained silent for a long time.
The comment area in the live broadcast room is even more discussed.
Some people think that the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ is not wrong, it is inevitable that he has relatives and worries;
On the contrary, the ghost struck too hard and overcorrected.
Some people think that he has committed a crime by giving false testimony to the murderer, which cannot be concealed;
Besides, I have died in vain and turned into ghosts and ghosts, how can I let people stay rational…
After a while, the husband of ‘Jaslixiang’ covered his face in despair.
It turns out that the waste of life can really make a person lose his spirit.
After all, he still became the mediocre, cowardly person he hated the most when he was young.
