Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

After pulling the two ghosts to a secluded place, Qi Buyang undid the spell that held them in place.

"Who are you?!" Seeing that this man could control her body casually, the young female ghost couldn't help being a little scared, and for a while she couldn't even care about the quarrel.

Or the old lady is old and well-informed, and she can tell at a glance, "The one who can use talismans to fix ghosts is of course a celestial master, or else it is a Taoist priest from Maoshan."

The female ghost was even more suspicious. She looked at Luo Lang and then at Qi Buyang. She seemed to think that Qi Buyang was safer, so she moved a few steps towards him and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do? Are you going to take us in?"

Qi Buyang quickly shook his head, "I just want to ask what you guys were arguing about just now, it's not an option to continue like this."

As soon as this was mentioned, the two ghosts immediately became emotional, and they scrambled to tell Qi Buyang, making his ears ringing, and they finally figured out what happened by linking their sentences.

It turned out that the old lady committed suicide by jumping from the window of her house, and fell on the awning of a small shop selling steamed buns downstairs.The young woman felt that she had died unjustly, so she quarreled with the old lady.

Qi Buyang couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at the young female ghost after listening to it. He didn't know whether to say it was a coincidence or that she was lucky. This was almost like the chance of winning a lottery, and she actually met her... No wonder she was so resentful.

Seeing that he seemed to be on the side of the young female ghost, the old lady was not happy, "Can this be my fault? How did I know there were people down there at that time! You can only blame yourself for being unlucky!"

The woman was anxious, "Who told you to jump off the building in broad daylight! Can't you wait a few minutes longer? You don't want to live, but I still want to live!"

In a blink of an eye, there was another quarrel, and there was even a tendency to make a move. Qi Buyang couldn't persuade him, so he could only watch from the sidelines and worry.

"Mr. Luo, what should we do?"

Luo Lang was still concentrating on tasting the bunch of candied haws, and said without raising his eyelids: "Leave them alone, stop arguing when you're tired."

"But……"

At this moment, two female ghosts pushed and bumped into Luo Lang, only heard a crisp sound, and only one candied haws skewer fell to the ground, the icing shattered, looking miserable of.Everyone was stunned for a moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in Luo Lang's eyes, he raised his head and stared at the two culprits with a dark face.Qi Buyang knew that he was angry, so he felt bad, and looked at the two ghosts who still didn't understand the situation. They didn't know that they might be out of their wits in the next moment, and they wanted to continue to quarrel.

None of the three are easy to solve. Qi Buyang suddenly felt that his head was getting bigger, and he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he found that Luo Lang moved his fingers, as if he was about to make a move. The unfinished bunch of candied haws quickly stuffed into his hands, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Eat mine first, I'll buy you another bunch later."

Luo Lang looked at the candied haws in his hand, there were only three left, and half of one was bitten off, but for some reason, he didn't get angry, but started to eat it with relish.

Unexpectedly, he was so easy to dismiss, Qi Buyang was also stunned, staring blankly at him for a long time, only then remembered that there were two troublesome female ghosts to deal with, when he turned around, he found that the two ghosts were not noisy anymore, It was Piao who was also watching Luo Lang eat, with sympathy in his eyes.

Qi Buyang heard them whispering——

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful, it looks like someone who has never eaten candied haws."

"But he doesn't look like someone who can't afford candied haws."

"It must be the kind of rich man who had an unhappy childhood."

"I have seen this kind of child a lot. They have no childhood at all, and they are psychologically distorted when they grow up."

……

Qi Buyang stayed where he was, and couldn't help but glance at Luo Lang, feeling like laughing.Secretly glad that he is busy eating now and has no time to care what those two ghosts are talking about, otherwise they will definitely be bombarded to death...

Taking advantage of this brief opportunity for peace, Qi Buyang hurried forward and said to the two ghosts, "Stop arguing?"

It was only then that they remembered that their grievances were unfinished, and their eyes met for a moment of embarrassment. The old lady turned her face aside, and the young woman stared at her angrily. Neither of them spoke for a while.

"Calm down, all of you." Qi Buyang carefully considered his words, for fear of getting angry again.Persuading fights is not his forte, but now he can only bite the bullet and say: "Anyway... anyway, you are all dead, and it is useless to argue about who is wrong and who is right now. I think there must be some reasons why my mother-in-law would seek death. Yes, right?" As he spoke, he looked at the old lady, who lowered her head and said nothing.

He had no choice but to say to the young female ghost again: "Just be more understanding, don't argue with the old man..." Before he finished speaking, the female ghost began to sob and cry, which made Qi Buyang panic, "You, you Don't cry! If you have something to say, don't cry, don't cry!" He hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket, wanted to hand it over, only to realize that it was an object in the world, and the other party couldn't touch it, so he took it back embarrassingly.

When she cried, the atmosphere suddenly softened, and the old lady was also a little uncomfortable. After a while, she persuaded: "Girl, don't cry, I know I was wrong, I hurt you, mother-in-law can't apologize to you Is it? I'm sorry, don't cry."

The female ghost cried and shook her head, and said intermittently: "People are already dead, what's the use of talking about it... Actually, I also know that I can't blame you. ...It's just that I always feel uncomfortable in my heart! I'm still so young, my work is going smoothly, and I finally found the person I love and I'm about to get married, so why... why did this happen to me!"

"Ah..." the old lady sighed, "Girl, you don't want to listen to the truth, it's all fate! Some people have a good life, and their life is so smooth, and some people are just doomed to age. Died early, and some people are unfortunate in their later years. They have worked hard all their lives without a happy ending, just like me... the first half of my life was very hard. I gritted my teeth and finally brought up a few children, thinking that I would be able to enjoy life from now on. I was blessed, but my wife died. Fortunately, the children are upbeat, and all of them have good jobs, and I have a grandson in my arms.

But within a few years, they didn’t like to visit me anymore, and they never saw each other all year round. At first, they would send money over, but later they even gave me the money directly on the card, and let me pick it up by myself.They didn't even think about it. The mother hadn't studied for a few years at all, and didn't know a few big characters. Every time I went to the bank, I had to find someone to help me.Several times I wanted to tell them that they don't need to send me so much money, I can't use it by myself, just bring the children to see me.I also know that they are busy with work, but there is always one day out of the year, right?I don't want to bother them, as long as they come once a year..."

Speaking of this, the old lady's eyes were red, she stopped for a moment, and then patted her legs and said: "In the past few years, my health has been getting worse day by day, and my legs and feet have become more and more inconvenient. I need someone to take care of me. This time they are back. Originally I was quite happy, but I accidentally heard my son and daughter discussing which nursing home to send me to. Of course I disagree. I heard people say that nursing homes only collect money and don’t care about the elderly in them. That’s true, too. They are not yours, even my own are not willing to serve me, how could others be willing? They are not happy when I say no, they take turns to persuade me, and they are determined to put me in a nursing home.

I know that I'm old and I can't walk anymore, and it has already become a burden for them to spend money and work hard.If you want me to go to a nursing home and be called around by those people, and finally die in that kind of place, I might as well die in my own home and go to accompany my old man earlier.Thinking of this, I climbed onto the window sill. I was a little scared at such a high place, but I couldn't stand firmly and jumped down.

... I didn't know that there were people underneath when I jumped out, so I let you accompany me, an old woman, for nothing.Girl, I'm sorry, mother-in-law has troubled you! "

The young female ghost was already crying so hard that she sniffed and said, "Grandmother! I'm sorry... I don't know about this, but I just said that about you... They, how could they do this!"

The old lady shook her head, "I don't blame them either. After all, I gave birth to it myself. It's my fault that I didn't raise the child well. But it's fine now. You see, after death, my legs don't hurt anymore. They are light and don't need someone to support them. , go wherever you want.”

"Mother-in-law, where do you want to go? I'll go with you." The female ghost wiped away her tears, "I used to be busy with work and non-stop all day long. I never really enjoyed my life. Sometimes I don't know how tired I am. What is it for, I think this is probably the opportunity God gave me."

"Okay, I've always seen on TV that it's beautiful here and there, and I've wanted to see it for a long time."

The female ghost took the old lady's arm, "Grandma, since we are so destined, I will be your daughter in the future."

"Okay...okay..." The old lady nodded repeatedly, and the corners of her eyes were moist again.

The old and the young bid farewell to Qi Buyang, looking at the two smiling faces with wet tears on their faces, Qi Buyang didn't expect things to turn out like this, although he was a little surprised, he was also happy for them, nodded, originally I wanted to say something, but felt that everything was superfluous, and in the end I just told them "be careful" and said goodbye to them. When I looked back, the street was still full of people, and everyone was doing their own thing. things, running to where they want to go, no one knows what happened here, and what the result will be.One day, they will also meet death, and then lose their bodies and become souls. Maybe at that time, they will also discover another world and feel different from the present.

But Qi Buyang is different. As a person standing at the junction of yin and yang, the celestial master neither belongs to the underworld, nor can he blend in with the ordinary people in the underworld. However, he has never regretted his special status, because dealing with ghosts often makes him deeply moved. thousand.

Their stories are the lives of living people. From birth to death, even after death, they are full of variables and regrets. No one knows what will happen in the next moment.Gaining and losing can only be understood after death, and only they can understand it.Watching these living people and dead people pursue completely different things, you can always get some experience that others can't get.

Qi Buyang glanced at Luo Lang subconsciously, he had already finished eating the candied haws, and was waiting there impatiently with his hands folded.Suddenly remembered the question he asked before——

"Why are human beings always obsessed with trivial things? Even after death."

Qi Buyang is still unable to give a satisfactory answer to this question, but he seems to know a little bit, probably because everyone has something that they want to cherish.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.One day he will know the answer, he still has a long way to go.

"Qi Buyang." Luo Lang didn't know when he came over, and with a dangerous smile, he stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, "What about the candied haws you promised me? When are you going to buy them?"

"..." Qi Buyang was helpless, "Go now."
