MTL - Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding-Chapter 28 devil and man

  Chapter 28 Devil and Man

   There was a shrill scream in the cold room.

   I saw Ji Que's boxing skills like a cannon, tearing the corpse-spotted old woman into various shapes, and the air was full of flowing energy.

  These days, because of the regular Tai Chi exercise to strengthen his body, Ji Que's true energy became more and more condensed.

  He knew that as long as it took time, he would be able to achieve what the old monk said about condensing energy into energy and stepping into the sequence of three realms of true essence.

  Well, when the time comes, I should be in the same realm as the old monk and the others, and I won't be too inferior.

  Of course, the most direct change will be that I will become more capable and durable, and I will have a little more confidence when resisting these inexplicable bad luck.

  Really, he just wanted to help the old ladies go home today. In the end, the old lady blackmailed people and turned into such a scary thing.

  Fucking bad luck.

"No!"

   With a bang, the old woman's tattered body fell heavily to the ground, from which sticky black blood gushed out.

  Her eyes have lost focus and become hollow.

  Her face changed accordingly, becoming a little younger, as if she had become another person.

   At this moment, a little scarlet blood spilled from her neck, which was very conspicuous.

   Not long after, Ji Que found that her entire body had turned scarlet, as if she had fallen into a dazzling pool of blood.

  Suddenly, the scarlet bloomed, enveloping him and the house.

   Then Ji Que discovered that he came to another world.

  The whole world exudes a faint red halo, and the picture looks like it has been smeared with blood.

  He saw in a small courtyard, a woman was washing clothes, kneading her waist from time to time, looking very hard.

  In the next room, a middle-aged scholar in his thirties was packing his luggage.

  Looking at the woman's face, Ji Que immediately thought of the old woman who had just changed.

   Very similar, but looks much younger.

   "This is your memory?"

  Ji Que suddenly remembered this street, reckoning it should be one in Sangshui County.

  The middle-aged scholar finished packing his luggage and was about to leave home. The woman held his hand reluctantly, rubbed her tears and said, "Lin'er, be careful on the road."

  The scholar nodded, with a look of impatience between his brows and eyes, and said: "Understood, mother, I will come to pick you up when I am safe."

  After that, the scholar left, and his back disappeared into the alley.

  From here, one can see the woman looking at the empty alley, secretly wiping her tears and smiling again.

   Afterwards, the surrounding scenes kept changing.

  The woman stared at the entrance of the alley every day, and occasionally went out to ask someone for news, but there was no news.

  Ji Que knew that she was waiting for her son, but unfortunately she only got a letter with more than ten taels of silver in it.

Naturally, there would be no good content in that letter. The woman might not be able to read, or she might have pretended not to see it. Afterwards, she sat in the yard with the silver and murmured to herself, "This is for my Lin'er to get married." I have to keep the silver for him.”

   "This is the silver used by my Lin'er to get married. I have to keep it for him."

Rumors about her son's unfilial piety spread from time to time. The woman held a knife and yelled at her, blaming the people around her for being jealous of her son's success in the exams and honoring his ancestors, but their children are still just ugly mud legs, so they slandered her son like this .

  It's a pity that no matter how fiercely the woman scolded and denied the matter, sitting at the door of the house, her face was still aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her mind began to become unclear.

   After that, a person came in the courtyard.

   Ji Que recognized that person at a glance.

   Isn’t this the rogue who wanted to steal himself and was countered?

  The rogue stole the silver that the woman hid in the pillow, and when he was discovered, he ran away.

  The woman chased after her desperately.

  She staggered and ran across the muddy street, stepped on the wet stone slabs, and knocked down a small stall on the side of the road. Finally, she fell on the side of the road, and the ground was smudged with blood.

  She stared at the direction Poppi left, like a dead fish stranded on the shore.

   Within a few days, the woman died on her own bed.

   It was the neighbor she cursed at the beginning who buried her.

  In the scarlet scene, the soil of the tomb can be seen to move a bit, and a long worm-like shadow crawls out in the moonlight.

   That's the dead woman turned into something terrible.

  She fixed her eyes on that rogue, and before he entered the small courtyard, she stood in front of a blind old woman who had already died on the bed, and then got into the other's mouth like a worm, and merged with him.

  After that, of course, the old lady continued to look for money after the pig died.

   After a period of time, the red light receded like a tide, and the surrounding area returned to its original appearance.

   It was hard to tell whether it was the blind old woman or the old woman's old body lying there, eyes still open.

   With her mouth open, she stared at Ji Que with vicious eyes.

  Ji Que said with a confused face: "So that silver is really yours."

  He didn't expect the old woman to actually have a share of the silver he got from that rogue's backhand.

  When the woman heard this, she suddenly became excited, and her mouth kept opening and closing.

   "You should have said this earlier, and I would have given it to you. If you didn't tell me, how would I know that you were not extorting?" Ji Que couldn't help complaining.

  Old woman: "."

  Ji Que squatted down and said, "Okay, I'll give you back your money and buy you a good coffin, and the rest will be buried with you, okay?"

  The old woman who was already out of shape nodded, and squeezed out two words from her throat - "Thank you.".

  Ji Que thought for a while, and said, "You also took revenge on that rogue, who is so inhumane and hostile, it's not good for others or himself, so let's leave early."

  The old woman struggled a bit, squeezed her broken throat and said, "My family, Lin'er, will probably be sad if she doesn't see me when she comes back."

  Ji Kuang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will leave a letter. If he comes back, he will definitely come to visit your grave."

  The old woman twisted her neck, as if relieved, and said weakly: "Thank you very much."

  Ji Que shook his head and said, "No, I will choose some reward."

  Hearing this, the woman suddenly became agitated, and her cloudy eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, as if she was about to get up and kill someone.

   "Mine, everything about me belongs to my Liner."

  Ji Que raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Old lady, are you sure you want to talk to me in this tone? I'm a victim."

The woman seemed to remember some terrible memory, the fierce light in her eyes suddenly dissipated, she became calm again, and squeezed out a sentence - "Young master, you can take whatever you like, I think you should have something to do with my finger." interest.".

   As she spoke, she twisted her right ring finger, and continued: "The reason why I became like this is all due to it."

  Ji Que didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret, so he took off the finger and said, "Okay, I want this. Okay, next, you can do it yourself, or I will do it."

The old woman was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "That's troublesome, sir. You don't have to give me the money before. It's useless after I die. In fact, I still have twenty taels of silver hidden at the foot of the bed in my house. You don't mind it." Just take it all."

   "Won't you leave it to your son?" Ji Que asked.

  The old woman suddenly showed a bleak smile, and said nothing.

   She knew very well that her son would not come back.

  She is literate, and she knows the content of that letter very well, but her good son resolutely doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore, and he despises her for being old, ugly and in poor health.

  Afterwards, she seemed to have figured it out, and closed her eyes, without any breath or hostility.

  People's obsession is a terrible thing, which can make people become demons, but once they let go, the demons will become humans again.

   Ji Que swiped his palm on the wooden stool, and the flames rose up immediately and landed on the old woman's worm-like body.

  The raging flames engulfed her, and at the same time drove away the strange coldness of the whole room, as if the whole room had returned from the underworld to the underworld.

  Ji Que stood in front of the lonely flame, looked at the mottled finger in his hand, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

  For a moment, he didn't know what he was sighing about.
