Human Shackles

Zhang Xiaoxin felt a little wary in his heart. He would not be afraid at all if it were a mutated ferocious beast in front of him, but this kind of thing is really permeable. Fear comes from the unknown. There are ways to eliminate real creatures, but the fear caused by thoughts will always exist.

He stabbed it with the crutch in his hand. The blow hit Zhou Qian's chest, as if hitting a puppet, and he fell to the ground.

The corpse on the ground was stiff and livid, as if it had been dead for a long time.

"Haha, little guy, it seems that he is not a simple human being, well... his blood is very strong, he is really a good body."

In the empty room, a high-pitched and hoarse sinister laughter sounded, flowing around the room, and it was completely unclear where it came from.

His own blood seemed to be more restrained against these things. Zhang Xiaofang bit the tip of his tongue, spit out a mouthful of blood on his fist, and said in a cold voice: "What the hell are you, do you dare to come out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister smile came from behind: "Hey, I'm right behind you, you can see it when you turn around."

Zhang Xiaofang was startled, and just as he was about to make a move, he felt a chill on the back of his head. A biting cold air penetrated directly into his mind, and an evil voice sounded in his mind: "Hee hee, what a delicious soul, I want to Enjoy your meal!”

Zhang Xiaofang's whole body went stiff, and pain like pinpricks kept coming from his head. He couldn't help but let out a low cry, gritted his teeth and sat down hard, thinking of Master Yu's words in his mind: "As long as you believe in something, no matter what No matter how impossible this thing is, it will happen!"

He only needs to stick to a clear vision in his mind without any self-doubt. No matter how terrifying that thing is, it will never be able to swallow up his consciousness!

Unfortunately, the gap between the two was too big, and his consciousness became blurred, and he was about to sink into endless darkness.

A faint starlight came to the hospital, passed through the wall, and floated directly into the room regardless of the existence of any medium.

He stretched out his hand, which was filled with starlight, and grasped it. A group of struggling and screaming black mist was captured, and then floated out of the window.

…

The next day, Zhang Xiaofang woke up in the utility room and saw the body of the little nurse on the ground. It seemed that hungry ghosts really existed, one with no substance, and one that could attach itself to the body.

Just why would I be fine? Is the "faith" mentioned by Master Yu so useful?

He returned to the ward in a daze. As soon as he arrived in the ward, he saw the nurses discussing something quietly. It turned out that the little nurse named Zhou Qian last night had died of myocardial infarction a few days ago, but the body in the morgue was Gone.

A few days later, Lu Yun was picked up by his parents, and Zhang Xiaofang also left the hospital and wandered around the streets. The experience of these two days made him vaguely feel that an alternative evil force had appeared.

The world is undergoing drastic changes all the time. Whether it is a demonized beast or an evil spirit possessing the hospital, I wonder if anyone above can deal with it.

As I walked around, I felt that the surrounding environment looked familiar. It turned out that I had wandered near the school unknowingly. Looking at the happy students on campus, I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I found that I didn't seem to belong to the same world as them.

I was a little bit sad when I saw a familiar old man standing at the school gate. The old man was waiting for the bus at the street corner with an old-fashioned suitcase in his hand.

Zhang Xiaofang walked up and asked, "Teacher Yu, are you going to retire?"

Master Yu looked at him doubtfully: "Who are you?"

Zhang Xiaofang realized that his face was wrapped in bandages, and he quickly said: "I am Zhang Xiaofang."

"Oh, Xiaofang, what's wrong with your face? Why didn't you go to class?"

"Well... I got a little injured outside. I'm going to take sick leave for the next two days. Teacher, let me see you off."

Master Yu smiled and nodded: "Anyway, we can't wait for the bus right now. Why don't you accompany the old man and I have a cup of tea."

Zhang Xiaofang nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." If he hadn't suddenly thought of Master Yu's words last night, he might have been eaten by that hungry ghost. Meeting him today was just the right time to thank him.

"Teacher Yu, are you retiring? Where are you going to go in the future?"

Master Yu chuckled and said, "Yes, I don't like staying in one place. I plan to wander around. If I find a place I like, I will stay for a while."

The two of them came to a luxuriously decorated restaurant. Master Yu was obviously a regular customer, so he led him to a private room.

Zhang Xiaofang looked around. Although he had not seen much of the world, he could see that this kind of place was obviously not affordable for ordinary people. Are all school teachers so rich?

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked aloud: "Teacher Yu, will it be expensive here?"

Master Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not expensive. Nothing you can buy with money can be considered expensive." After that, he started to make tea by himself. He did not use the tea leaves from the hotel, but picked it from his suitcase. He took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a black leaf from it and put it into the teapot. An indescribable fragrance immediately filled the air.

This fragrance seems not to be smelled, but...but like something that is touched by thoughts. It can penetrate people's hearts and is truly refreshing.

Zhang Xiaofang felt that all the pores in his body were relaxing, and his spirit was shaken.

"Teacher Yu, what is this?"

Master Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Actually, everything in the world can be used as tea. This is also a kind of tea. I just researched it in the past two days. It doesn't have a name yet. Well... let's call it soul tea. Let's try it. "

Zhang Xiaofang picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. A cool breath went straight to his heart and quickly spread throughout his body. Even his thinking became much clearer.

Master Yu seemed to have seen himself back then, with a smile on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "Boy, that's not how you drink tea. You have to taste it carefully. It's really a peony, what a pity, what a pity!"

Zhang Xiaofang vaguely felt that this tea was not simple. He raised his head and glanced at Master Yu strangely. The old man in front of him became increasingly difficult to understand. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to ask.

Master Yu didn't seem to notice his doubtful gaze, and seemed to know that he didn't want to answer. He stroked his beard and asked, "Xiao Fang, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet. Teacher, what do you think I should study physics and become an engineer in the future?"

Master Yu took a sip of tea, slowly shook his head and said: "Physics is the principle of matter. It is a science used to explain everything in the world. However, all laws have the same origin. Any science can be studied to the extreme to explain it. Everything in the world.”

Zhang Xiaofang smiled and said: "Old Zhang often tells me this too."

Master Yu did not ask who Lao Zhang was. He stood up, walked a few steps in the room and suddenly said: "Little Fatty, have you ever thought about what is the most important thing about a person?"

Zhang Xiaofang pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Wisdom and strength?"

Master Yu shook his head: "No, it's thought, or an open mind. You must always be suspicious of everything. This is also the biggest difference between humans and other creatures. For us, consciousness can determine matter!"

Zhang Xiaofang was stunned for a moment and shook his head blankly.

Master Yu sighed and said: "Forget it, maybe one day you will understand. Goodbye."

After saying that, he picked up the suitcase next to him and walked out.

Zhang Xiaofang stood up and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He could only say: "Goodbye, Teacher Yu."

I was dazed in the box for a while, looked down at the teapot, drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, and then smacked my lips. This time, the taste was much lighter, and I didn't feel as refreshed as before.

…

Master Yu returned to the staff dormitory and looked for the bookstore www.zhaoｈshuyuａ.com. As he climbed the stairs, his old body became stiffer and stiffer, and finally he slowly sat down on the ground.

A figure formed by a group of stars emerged from between his eyebrows. Luo Kai looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed. It was difficult for his soul to be exposed for a long time, and he had to find a place to join.

He has changed many bodies in the past few years, and they are all people who are dying or have just died. Each body can only last less than half a year, including the old Zhang who Zhang Xiao put in his mouth.

The reason why he cares so much about this little fat man is that he vaguely sees his own past in him, and he also has a strong obsession.

In fact, even if he didn't take action last night, the little fat man could withstand the invasion of hungry ghosts. If he can experience more hardships and gain more understanding of the soul in the future, he may become the second him.

Good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls are unique.

If reincarnation really exists, the little fat man's soul is definitely extraordinary. Even if reincarnation can format away self-consciousness, some things in it will never be erased.
