Chapter 6 Burning the Soul
"Huang...Stone...Huangshi...Huangshi Tianshu!" Chu Fei vaguely identified the four words on the writing that said Huangshi Tianshu, and then turned around and asked Lao Liang what the Huangshi Tianshu was, but found Lao Liang was stunned and murmured repeatedly, "Huangshi Tianshu...Huangshi Tianshu..."
Seeing that he was like this, Chu Fei pushed him. Lao Liang came to his senses and asked quickly what was wrong. Chu Fei asked again patiently. Lao Liang shook his head and said he didn't know. He swears that he had heard of this name for the first time. Chu Fei asked him how this book came from. Seeing that Chu Fei's tone was firm, Lao Liang had to say truthfully, "I used to be a servant in the King of Wu's Mansion. One night, a thief came from the King of Wu's Mansion, but the thief did not have any treasures. Instead, he stole a book from the King of Wu's study. Unexpectedly, when he left, he alarmed the masters in the mansion and started fighting with the guards. Although there were many masters in the palace, the thief had a strange body movement, so he couldn't catch it. I found the book hidden in it three days later when I was cleaning the backyard."
Although Lao Liangtou said something with his nose and eyes, Chu Fei did not dare to believe it easily, and felt that there were many doubts in it. So he asked, "Since you have found this book, why don't you hand it over to the King of Wu, but instead hid it secretly and brought it here."
Lao Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing is so simple. The King of Wu lost his treasure in the mansion and was furious. Even the guards were scattered because of the unfavorable situation. How dare I, a little wandering soul, touched the bad intentions of the King of Wu. If he thought I was an accomplice of the thief, wouldn't I have no choice but to argue? Later, it was not beyond my expectations. Because of the King of Wu's anger, we servants were not only locked up without getting wages."
Seeing that his answer was reasonable, Chu Fei did not go into it in depth, so he threw the book to him and said, "I have just read the book. The words inside are not the same as those outside, and I can't understand any of them, so I can't help you."
Lao Liang hurriedly took the book and found that as Chu Fei said, the words inside were completely different from those on the pages, and were obviously more chaotic, and he was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. Seeing that he was so disappointed, Chu Fei was very embarrassed, so he comforted him, "Maybe I haven't learned enough, maybe someone else will know you? You can go out from here and find someone to help you."
Lao Liang shook his head in frustration, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly looked up at Chu Fei. Chu Fei was so angry that he was staring at him, and quickly said, "Don't worry about the book, I won't tell you."
Lao Liang seemed to have made up his mind and looked at Chu Fei and said slowly, "Little brother, where have you thought about it? Who is Lao Liang? I can't do that kind of murder and silence."
After hearing Lao Liang say this, Chu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could beat him, he was jumped by Lao Liang's words. He heard Lao Liang say slowly, "Since you and me are destined to be together, I will give this book to you, my little brother."
"Give it to me?" Chu Fei didn't react for a moment. He didn't know what the old Liangtou was selling. This book was brought out by him at the risk of being dispersed. Now it is given to me? I guess he thought I was deliberately saying that I didn't recognize the words in it, so that I could study them secretly. But he gave it to me like this. Aren't he afraid of running away with the book? Or is he confident that he could find me in the vast soul world?
After seeing through what Chu Fei was thinking, Lao Liang smiled and said, "Since it is for you, it will become your own thing. You can take it wherever you like, and you don't have to worry about it. I just thought that since the little brother can recognize the title of the book, you may understand it all in the future. That's why I had the idea of giving this book to you. You can't let such a strange book be buried in my hands, right?"
Although he said it was faithful, Chu Fei always felt something was wrong, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he didn't want to take on this hot potato. So he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I just arrived in the soul world and I can't care about it yet. I have no ability to care about it. You should find someone else."
Lao Liang saw Chu Fei refused to accept it, so he tried to persuade him in a hurry, but Chu Fei was unmoved, but instead became more and more determined and unacceptable. Lao Liang saw Chu Fei's oil and salt not invading, and became as weak as if he was deflated, and sighed and said, "I know little brother, you have concerns, I am afraid that I will not be at ease, but I really just can't bear to see such a strange book buried. Since you have concerns, I can only die to prove my innocence. After I die, I must not let others know that this book is in your hands, nor do I let others know that you know the words on it, otherwise it will cause endless disasters!" After that, the soul turned red, and it was burning like a Buddha, illuminating the entire cell as if it were daytime.
Chu Fei was shocked when he heard that he wanted to prove his death. Unexpectedly, Lao Liangtou was so decisive that he had already ignited his soul body in a moment, and he could not tolerate Chu Fei to stop it. The other three were also awakened by this incident and did not understand what was going on. Zhao Wenju glanced at Lao Liangtou's soul body and immediately exclaimed, "Stop him quickly, this is the soul burning. We are all in the state of soul burning. Once the soul burning, the soul will be scattered!"
So everyone shouted "Lao Liangtou" and wanted to persuade him to change his mind. Unexpectedly, Lao Liangtou smiled at everyone and said to Chu Fei, "Little brother, don't forget the agreement between us."
Chu Fei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Lao Liang was still thinking about what he had entrusted him before, so he quickly said, "Lao Liang, stop, I promise you, I promise you!" Lao Liang smiled and shook his head and said, "Little brother, you can complete my entrusting as soon as possible. I will die as I am taking care of my little brother." After that, his soul turned into blue smoke and drifted away. The shocked few people were left, not understanding what was going on. Chu Fei was also shocked, not expecting Lao Liang to force him to death, which made Chu Fei feel very guilty.
With a "thump", Chu Fei knelt on the ground and cried, "Old Liang, it's a boy who killed you. I'll apologize to you here. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the things you entrust to!" After saying that, he kowtowed three times to the place where Lao Liang's soul was burning, and he was already full of tears when he raised his head. Zhao Wenju and the other two looked at each other, not understanding whether the fate happened between him and Lao Liang's, but he still patted Chu Fei on the shoulder and comforted him, "This is Lao Liang's own choice, it has nothing to do with you."
