Strange Tales of the Ghosts

No one answered Shi Donglai, and the singing continued. Shi Donglai felt that he was about to die, and regretted not listening to his father's advice. At this moment, the thing wrapping him loosened, and he crawled softly to the ground. After Shi Donglai regained his breath, he immediately ran to the cabin and turned on the light in front of the cabin. Only then did he see clearly that what was surrounding him was a huge piece of fungus, which reminded him of what Luo Yi had told him. The 'fungus spirit'.

"...You...are the fungus spirit?"

The fungus on the ground moved, but there was no answer. When Shi Donglai took a closer look, it turned out that the fungus spirit was too arrogant and accidentally touched the talisman paper posted outside the wooden house, so it was twitching... The fungus seemed to be uncomfortable. , Shi Donglai was a little flustered. He looked at the talisman paper stuck to the fungus and thought for a long time, then he boldly went over and tore off the talisman paper. After the talisman fell, the fungus stopped twitching, and after moving twice, it actually spoke.

"Why did you save me?"

"..." Shi Donglai looked around and replied, "Are you talking to me?"

"If it's not you, who else?" The fungus began to change, getting smaller and smaller, until it turned into a very small fungus.

Although Shi Donglai thought this thing was too bizarre, he saw it with his own eyes after all, so he asked curiously: "Are you a fungus spirit?"

"Don't call me fungus, I have a name, my name is Zen Yu." The little fungus bounced on the spot and actually stood up.

When Shi Donglai saw the cute little fungus, he was no longer afraid and asked with a smile: "Your name is Chan Yu?"

"Didn't I just say it? Yes, yes, yes!" Little Fungus jumped twice as if losing his temper.

Shi Donglai never forgot that 'Little Fungus' almost killed him, and he had many questions in his mind: "Why did you kill me?"

"Then why did you save me just now?" Xiaomu'er Chanyu asked.

After Shi Donglai thought for a while, he replied: "I saw you seemed to be in pain just now, so..."

"You are so kind-hearted, why do you cook and eat all my brothers and sisters?" Little Fungus jumped in front of Shi Donglai, as if looking at Shi Donglai.

Shi Donglai understood that it turned out that the little fungus was seeking revenge for his brothers and sisters, but...how could he know that the little fungus was alive before that? I couldn’t help but think back to the sound I heard the day I fried the fungus, that ‘squeak…woo…squeak…woo’ sound. Could it be that the little fungus was crying? Thinking about it, Shi Donglai was a little scared.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you..."

"You don't know that we also have life?" The little fungus jumped twice and turned around in a circle. Shi Donglai saw a flash of green, and the little fungus under his feet turned into a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. The girl was wearing earthy bark and looked very cute. She pointed at Stone and scolded: "You humans are so hypocritical. You know that pigs are alive, why do you eat them? Don't you know that you have eaten pork?" , will the mother pig also be very heartbroken? Don’t you know that the pig will also be very scared before it dies?”

"...I..." Shi Donglai really hadn't thought about this problem. He had never seen a pig killed, but he had seen a dog killed. He still remembered that when he was very young, his family killed a dog they raised. , that dog named "Xiao Hui" has been in their family for more than ten years. Because he was too sick to walk, the family killed Xiao Hui and made it into dog meat. Xiao Funu's explanation made Shi Dong He remembered Xiao Hui's tears before he died. Shi Donglai was still very young at that time, but he remembered it very clearly. Xiao Hui looked at him eagerly, and the hair at the corner of his eyes was wet with tears. At that time, Shi Donglai swore I will never eat dog meat in this life.

Seeing that Shi Donglai was silent, Little Funu Chanyu asked, "What's wrong? Can't you tell me? I know you humans are like this, you don't have any emotions at all."

"...No..." Shi Donglai lowered his head, thinking about Xiao Hui, and even felt a little sad in his heart. When he was a child, he was as tall as Xiao Hui and would often ride on Xiao Hui's body to play. Shi Donglai remembered this incident very deeply. He remembered that Xiao Hui had given birth to a litter of puppies before. He didn't know why Xiao Hui didn't seem to like his children very much, so he often forgot to feed the puppies. Shi Donglai was very angry. I hugged the puppy and chased Xiao Hui, and even beat Xiao Hui. I don’t know why, but Xiao Hui, who is always fierce and doesn’t even care about his own children, just won’t bite Shi Donglai, even if it hurts Xiao Hui. , and will not bite himself. Thinking of these things, Shi Donglai's eyes became moist, and even as a man, he felt very painful in his heart.

Little Fungus Chanyu bent down and saw Shi Donglai's eyes were red, and felt strange: "Hey, I haven't even hit you yet, why are you crying?"

"I don't...have" Shi Donglai sucked in his tears and looked at Little Fungus with a smile.

Xiaomu'er Chanyu glanced at Shi Donglai, turned around and said loudly: "Don't think that I will let you go if you cry. You are as hateful as that Taoist priest, and you both deserve to die."

"...Did you kill that Taoist priest?" Shi Donglai was very suspicious. The girl in front of him looked so cute and she didn't look like a murderer at all.

Little Funu Chanyu looked back at Shi Donglai, pouted and said, "Yes, whoever made him want to kill me deserves to fall off the cliff."

"..." Shi Donglai was speechless. Since the other party would not even spare a Taoist priest, let alone himself who was the first to be a brave man, even if he made an unintentional mistake, looking at the other party's attitude, it seemed that he would not be able to survive. , However, Shi Donglai does not regret, he does not regret tearing off the talisman, because everything is his fault. If he does not tear off the talisman, he may not know that fungus has life even if he lives to be a hundred years old. . "Let's do it."

"What?" Xiaomu'er Chanyu looked at Shi Donglai in surprise.

Shi Donglai sighed: "Aren't you going to kill me? Do it."

"...Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet, I haven't said anything yet..." It was the first time Xiao Mu'er Chanyu saw someone not shouting that he didn't want to die before dying. This Shi Donglai seemed to be an exception. "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"What's the use of being afraid?" Shi Donglai looked at the little fungus Zenyu and suddenly became curious: "Chenyu, can I ask you a question before I die?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Are all your fungus alive like you?"

"certainly."

"Can they all become human beings?"

"..." Little Funu Chanyu shook her head and replied softly: "Not everyone can become a human being. Only those who cultivate properly can have such an opportunity."

When Shi Donglai heard this, he became even more confused: "Since you have such great power, why didn't you save your brothers and sisters that day?"

"That's... because..." Little Funu Chanyu lowered his head and answered in frustration: "It was after that that I..."

"You just became a spirit?"

"So be it."

Shi Donglai became more and more confused as he listened: "I don't understand, just one day..."

"Okay, stop asking!" Little Funu Chanyu looked at Shi Donglai with his hands on his waist and said loudly: "Don't you just want me to tell you the reason why I became sperm? It's very simple. I just ate it. This." As he spoke, Little Fungus Chanyu spit out a bead from his mouth, glowing muddy gray.

Shi Donglai didn't recognize what Chanyu spit out and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"This is a prayer bead with boundless power found in your kitchen."

"Buddha beads?" Shi Donglai tried hard to think about it, and finally it came to his mind. When he was walking on the street a few days ago, a monk stopped him and gave him a string of prayer beads. He didn't care at the time, he just thought It was fun, so he put it on his hand. One day while cooking in the kitchen, the beads broke. He squatted on the ground and searched for a long time, but only found seventeen beads. One of them was missing. He couldn't find it no matter what, because there were few beads. I had picked up a bead, so it was too small for Shi Donglai to wear when stringing it together. Shi Donglai threw the beads into a garbage bag at that time, and the garbage bag was picked up when he went down the mountain to buy things the next day. , took it down the mountain and threw it away.

Little Funu Chanyu nodded: "Do you understand now?"

"Is this considered your destiny?"

"Of course." Little Funu Chanyu nodded and looked at Shi Donglai. "So, don't think that I owe you anything. I will not be lenient when dealing with humans like you."

"I know."

"It's good to know. Are you ready?"

Shi Donglai knew that the fungus spirit was asking whether he was ready to die. Although he was scared, he felt a lot calmer: "If you are ready, go ahead." After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for the moment of death. At that moment, he knew that people were going to die anyway, but he died earlier.

When Little Fungus saw Shi Donglai waiting to die, he was a little unable to do anything. After all, it was thanks to Shi Donglai that he could become a spirit in advance and transform into a human form. Besides, if Shi Donglai hadn't torn apart After dropping the talisman, he died just now. Chan Yu didn't know what to do, bit his lip and said, "Listen, I won't kill you now."

"Won't you kill me?" When Shi Donglai heard this, he opened his eyes and asked in a mean tone: "Why?"

Little Fungus Chanyu tilted her head and replied: "Because... I haven't figured out how to kill you yet. My brothers and sisters all died so miserably. I have to find a way to avenge them. Since you humans have all kinds of If you want to kill us in such a way, of course I have to think carefully about how to kill you, but if I just let you die like this, wouldn't that be too easy for you?"

"So that's it..." Shi Donglai lowered his head.

Little Funu Chanyu looked up at the sky and found that it was about to rain. He reminded: "This is what we have agreed on. You just wait in the house for me. When I want to kill you, I will come to you." "

"What?" Shi Donglai looked a little depressed as he watched the little fungus Chanyu slip away faster than a rabbit. There is no one waiting to be killed. The key is that the one who wants to kill must make the other person wait obediently. , Shi Donglai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
