Chapter 293 The Three Disadvantages of Raising Ghosts
Her sudden appearance made me completely unpredictable. When the boss's wife greeted Bai Fengning and Chen Ziru, she glanced at me, but this glance made me even more puzzled.
Because the expression she looked at me seemed to have never seen before, without any fluctuations.
Like strangers.
At that time, I thought I had recognized the wrong person, so I followed Bai Fengning and Chen Ziru and walked in.
When she walked into the shop, the boss hurriedly asked us to sit down. She took out a can of tea from the refrigerator and boiled water to prepare tea.
I looked at the boss lady who was concentrating on making tea. The more I looked, the more I looked, I should be the same person as the boss lady in Shitou Street. This should be impossible to make a mistake!
Just when I was puzzled, I suddenly remembered a detail that I had to ignore.
That is, when we went to Stone Street, each of us had a mask on our face. I could see her appearance, but she couldn't see mine, so it was natural that she couldn't recognize me when she saw me now.
After thinking of the details of the mask, I suddenly figured it out. No wonder she looked at me like a stranger.
After the boss's wife finished brewing the green tea, Bai Fengning took a few sips and then expressed his intentions in a simple and meaningful way, which was to bring me to her to adopt a little devil.
After hearing Bai Fengning's words, the proprietress stared at me for a while and asked directly:
"Old Bai, you know my personality. I don't like to beat around the bush. If I have anything, I will just say it in front of everyone."
"Okay, just say it." Bai Fengning said.
"This kid looks young, and the yin energy on his body is also a little weird. There is something in his body that we cannot detect, which makes me extremely taboo. If he rashly enters our ghost breed, I am worried that... I'm afraid there will be some trouble in the future." The boss's wife said frankly and told me all the questions she was worried about in front of me.
After hearing this, Bai Fengning shook his head and smiled:
"Qianmian, please don't worry. As long as I tell you something, you will feel that those just now are not problems."
"Oh? What's the matter?" The boss lady named Qianmian focused her eyes on me again.
"He is the last successor of the Ghost Master lineage." Bai Fengning obviously lowered his voice when he said this.
"What? Are you sure?!" Qianmian stood up from the chair and looked at me with surprise.
"Sister Qianmeng, Mr. Bai is right. He is indeed the successor of the Ghost Master lineage." Chen Ziru, who was standing beside him, also spoke.
Qianmian heard this and stared at me for a long time. Then she slowly calmed down. She sat down and looked at Chen Ziru and Bai Fengning and said softly:
"The Ghost Master's lineage has successors! I can even see that in the near future, why should we hide and live a life of hiding like now, like rats and ants?"
Bai Fengning put down the teacup in his hand:
"So I brought him here to let you know about this, and also took him to adopt a little ghost here. Although Wang Cheng is the descendant of the ghost master's lineage, he is not proficient in the art of raising ghosts, so we have to slowly lead him into the door."
Qianmian drank the tea on the table in one go, and looked at me and nodded:
"No problem, this is what we should do the most."
Without further ado, Qianmian immediately wanted to take me to adopt the little devil.
When adopting a little devil, I can only go by myself, and no outsiders are there.
Moreover, you cannot carry anything that affects the choice of ghosts, such as things that drive away ghosts and evil spirits; such as incense, candles, or other offerings.
I followed Qianmian, walked through a backyard, and came to a house surrounded by bamboo forests.
Looking inside the house, I saw that the doors and windows were completely covered by black curtains, not ventilated, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
When he walked to the door of this room, Qianmian suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at me and asked seriously:
"Wang Cheng is right? Although your identity is the descendant of the Ghost Master lineage, I still have to explain some things to you. This path to raising ghosts is an evil path, not a right path, and it is difficult to move forward. Once you step on this path, you will never have a chance to turn back. Do you understand?"
"I know." I said.
"There is another point, I want to make it clear to you that although we secretly protect and help the ghosts, there is also the danger of being swallowed by the ghosts at any time. Even if your ability can always control the ghost, we are living people after all. After the ghosts are around us for a long time, the yin and yang will inevitably become unbalanced, and the body will have various diseases, which can be short of life or even worse, and even change the fate... This is what our industry commonly known as: the three disadvantages of raising ghosts."
When Qianmian was talking to me, he looked back at the room from time to time.
"The three disadvantages of raising ghosts? What are the three disadvantages?" I asked.
"The three disadvantages of raising ghosts are longevity, single, fast, and longevity. It means to reduce longevity. In our raising ghosts, there is no one who will not be affected by small ghosts. At least several years, most decades!..."
When I heard the last sentence, I couldn't help but secretly gasp.
For decades... I don't know how many more decades I can live. Once the little ghost is raised, my life will be reduced. If I kick my legs immediately, I will die with my eyes open.
"Single means loneliness. Because of our special status, we have few friends, and almost no one can say. The only friend is the little ghost who follows us at this moment. As for getting married and having children, it is even more like a mirror, water and moon, so this "single" is the second disadvantage of the three disadvantages of raising ghosts." While Qianmian said this to me, I seemed to see a crystal teardrop in her eyes.
In the past, she should have been a person with a story. The word "single" should have evoked the sad things she had been burying in her heart.
"What about the last bad?" I asked.
"Disease is not a disease, but a disease of disability. People who raise ghosts need to hide in places with strong yin energy for a long time, without seeing the sun. Over time, their yin energy far exceeds the yang energy in the body, and their bodies naturally cannot bear it. A few years later, because the yin energy has penetrated into the bones and has been disabled for life, so many people who raise ghosts now turn themselves into half-human and half-corpse corpse monsters like Mr. Bai!" Qianmian looked at me and explained all the three evils of raising ghosts.
When I heard that Bai Fengning had become a half-human and half-corpse corpse demon, I remembered that when I was fighting him before, the dagger stabbed into his chest without any trouble. I was very shocked at that time.
Now after hearing Qianmian say this, I understand everything.
