Between mountains and seas

Chapter 38

A needle can be heard in the room for a while.

Master watched for a long time, but he didn't see how Shao Jingxing's fire started.He only expected that this person was here to play, but he didn't expect such a way of playing!

"How about it? Shigong also come here?" Shao Jingxing was so unreasonable, he kept the flames in front of Shigong, "Don't just use talisman papers, that's so boring. Isn't it a god, it must be lit, right? Shigong also came to burn it one!"

Master's thin face stretched as long as a donkey.

Shao Jingxing's behavior is called gangster style, a typical theory of "I can do it, but if you can't do it, what do you say?"That's what those gangsters on the street used to do. When they met someone, they would hit someone on the forehead with a brick, and the blood flowed all over the face. Then the other person was either afraid of him being violent, or afraid that he was really dead, so he calmed down and left. One step away.

Now Shao Jingxing's way of doing things is essentially the same as that of a gangster: I can set fire, but can't you?cannot?I can't say anything else, so hurry up and get out!

But why is Master willing.He has come to this house several times, and finally saw that the master's family was a little moved, and put in more effort to complete this matter, and Chen Xiang promised him a large sum of money.

However, Cheng Yaojin came out here, he was as stunned, but he still had some ability.Master couldn't find his flaws, and he didn't know how to start a fire out of thin air. After hesitating for a while, he finally came up with an excuse: "Setting fire is nothing. This Mr. Chen is possessed by a ghost, and you can drive the ghost away by setting fire." No? If you really drive away, I will obey you!"

Shao Jingxing rolled his eyes: "I said earlier that there are no ghosts in the world. Don't tell me you are possessed one by one. Be careful that I will report you for engaging in feudal superstition! Are you a serious monk or priest? Do you have a certificate issued by the state? Exorcising ghosts without a certificate , you are a feudal superstition!"

The master felt guilty, and he still insisted on it: "You said it's not possession, what is it? No matter what, if you can solve this Mr. Chen's plight now, I will worship you!" I heard Chen Xiang say it a long time ago. In the best hospital with the most advanced equipment, Chou Yinmao was not found. He didn't believe that this kid could be solved.If everyone can't solve it, then he still has a chance, at least he won't be too embarrassed, let alone be reported for feudal superstition.

This was against Shao Jingxing's army, he really couldn't figure out the reason for Mr. Chen's illness.In fact, he was a little suspicious that it was a psychological effect, and he had auditory hallucinations, which cannot be ruled out for a while.But now that the master has rebelled against the general, both of them are riding a tiger, and he can't be weak, so he bites the bullet and walks to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, can I see your ears?"

Zhou Qingshan had already told Mr. Chen how Shao Jingxing saw through the blood of the green clam, and now that Shao Jingxing lit the fire on the spot, Mr. Chen was also a little moved, so he nodded.

Mr. Chen's ears were completely normal in appearance. Shao Jingxing looked into the ear canal and felt a little red.But the light in the room is not bright enough to see clearly, so it needs a brighter light.

In fact, there are some lighting tools to illuminate. The most convenient thing is to turn on the flashlight on the mobile phone.But Shao Jingxing was used to lighting with his own fire in the world of mountains and seas, so without thinking, he twirled his fingers, ignited a small cluster of flames on his fingertips, and raised them to Mr. Chen's ear.

Mr. Chen only felt a heat in his ear, but before he could react, he felt something moving in his ear canal, like hot oil pouring on fire, and a buzzing sound exploded in his ear.

Zhou Qingshan stood relatively close, and kept staring at Shao Jingxing and Mr. Chen attentively, so he first heard Mr. Chen take a breath, and then he shook.

He thought it was Shao Jingxing's flame that was too close to Mr. Chen, but the next moment he saw a small black shadow rushing out of Mr. Chen's ear.

The black shadow was only the size of a grain of rice. If Zhou Qingshan hadn't been so close and focused, he might have missed it in the blink of an eye.

Shao Jingxing is closer, and his eyesight is ten times stronger than Zhou Qingshan's now, so he can see more clearly than Zhou Qingshan - just when he held the flame to Mr. Chen's ear, Mr. Chen's ear canal suddenly bulged I got a small bag.

Very small packet, that is, a little bigger than a grain of rice.In the next second, many small black shadows rushed out of the small bag, scrambling to fly out.

These things are so small that they are almost like dust, and if it is not because they are crowded together, they may not be seen at all.Shao Jingxing was also taken aback.Now his body reacted faster than his brain, and a small fireball bounced out at once, catching up with the small black shadow that hadn't had time to disperse in the air.

With a whoosh, Shao Jingxing felt that he heard dozens of voices screaming, but it only took a second before the flame went out, the sound stopped, and a mass of black ashes fell in midair.

Mr. Chen also heard those screams.He has been troubled and tormented by these voices these days, and he can hear them clearly—the very voices that haunt him!It wasn't until the voice stopped abruptly that he woke up: "This, this is—" Are they all driven away?

"What, what?" Chen Xiang hadn't seen it clearly yet, "What's wrong with you, Second Uncle? Did you burn it? Ah, Second Uncle, your ears are red—hey, boy, you burned my uncle!"

"Shut up!" Mr. Chen scolded in a low voice.What a burnt idiot!Indeed, the outside of his ear was a little hot, as if he had been scalded, but all the voices that had troubled him for so long disappeared, and since the ear canal moved, he suddenly became much more relaxed, as if his hearing had improved of.

"Mr. Shao——" Mr. Chen raised his hand and touched his ears. Although the tentacles were a little painful, he didn't care about it at all, "Well, did you drive those, those things away?" An atheist has to believe that he is possessed by a demon.

"This—" Shao Jingxing himself was taken aback, but he quickly reacted to Mr. Chen's question, "Mr. Chen, there are no ghosts in this world."

"Then what was in my ears just now..." Mr. Chen murmured, "There is no sound at all now. What is there in my ears?"

Shao Jingxing scratched his face, Zhou Qingshan had already reacted, and said with a sneer: "No matter what it is, I don't have to work on this master right now."

Chen Xiang hasn't figured out the situation yet: "What, why don't you work for Master? This little boy just set fire to drive out the ghost? Uncle, don't be fooled! Master just said——"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the master had disappeared.This guy has been in this industry for a long time, but he is more eye-catching than Chen Xiang. He knows that he has no opera singing of his own now, so if he doesn't leave at this time, can't he wait for this kid who plays games to humiliate him?And he also saw a small group of black shadows rushing out of Mr. Chen's ears just now. No matter what it is, it proves that this little boy has real skills, so 36 tricks are the best.

Chen Xiang was a little slow to realize that the master had escaped.He stood there awkwardly for a while, then thickened his skin and moved closer to Mr. Chen: "Uncle, I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to find an expert here. Hey, it's good to drive away the ghosts, just drive them away, or else Uncle, you are like this these days, I am really anxious to see..."

Mr. Chen didn't have the time to pay attention to him now, so he pulled Shao Jingxing and asked, "Mr. Shao, that's not a ghost, what exactly is it?"

Shao Jingxing squatted down and studied the ashes that fell on the ground.This thing shattered into a puddle of dust when it hit the ground, but if you look closely, there seems to be some debris inside that hasn't completely shattered.

As expected, Zhou Qingshan is a person who often plays with antiques, and he even had a magnifying glass on his body. He took it out now, and looked at the pool of ashes: "Hey, Jing Xing, look, is this, is this a bug?" He has this habit. The magnifying glass is still 30 times. If you look closely, it seems that there are a few legs that are stretched out, and there seem to be some traces of wings.

"Such a small bug?" Mr. Chen's eyes are not as good as his, and he squinted for a long time to see clearly, "It's not as big as the tip of a pin, it's about the same as a fairy fly..."

Well, this one also likes to watch "Animal World", right?Shao Jingxing also knows about fairy flies, which are the smallest insects in the world. It is said that 5 of them can be placed side by side on the tip of a needle, and they are often mistaken for dust flying in the air.

The smallest insect, the smallest insect... Shao Jingxing had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered the class Ji Xiaojiu had taught: "This is Jiao Ming!"

Jiao Ming, who also wrote Jiao Zhi, wrote in "Yanzi Chunqiu": Jing Gong asked if there were tiny insects in the world?Yanzi replied that yes, there is a small insect in the East China Sea that makes a nest on the mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes don't know it, so people named it Jiao Ming.

"Not only in "Yanzi Chunqiu", but also in "Liezi"." Shao Jingxing desperately recalled the source of the materials Ji Xiaojiu said, "Even in "Sou Shen Ji" Tian Zhang answered the emperor's big bird, small bird and other questions , also mentioned Jiao Ming."

"So that's how it is..." Mr. Chen looked at the ashes on the ground in amazement, "It's just, is this all true?" He had read such records in the book, but he never took it to heart. It's just Qi Dong's wild words.

But thinking about it now, he really seemed to have itched in his ear canal when he was traveling in Xiangxi. Could it be that this kind of bug got in?My God, this thing that comes and goes without a trace, if it is infected with some kind of disease, it is more difficult to guard against than mosquitoes!I don't know if the country has any prevention and control...

"This kind of bug is, it's mutated." Shao Jingxing quickly explained, "It's just—the number is very small, and it's generally extremely rare. It shouldn't infect any diseases. Although it sucks a little blood, because it's extremely small, the amount of blood sucked is not much. more.” But the trouble is, they reproduce.

"Breeding..." Mr. Chen shuddered.No wonder he felt that there were only one or two voices speaking at the beginning, and then there were more and more voices. It is likely that Jiao Ming gave birth to children in his ear canal!If they were born in ten or eight years, wouldn't his body become... He didn't dare to think about it any more, and quickly asked: "Then are they all driven away now?" Don't leave half of them behind. , Continue to carry on the family line.

"Yes, they should all be driven away." Shao Jingxing didn't know why these bugs suddenly moved together. After thinking about it for a long time, he thought it might be because he used supernatural flames to light up the bugs, which alarmed the bugs.If this is the case, they should have all escaped, but just to be on the safe side, you can burn it again, right...

"This fire can also hurt people..." Thinking about how he burned Huo Qing's leg back then.Even if the fire is controlled now, burns may be unavoidable.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Chen said repeatedly.Burning it is nothing compared to having bugs multiplying in your body.Even if the fever is a little severe, you can go to the hospital for treatment, the big deal is skin grafting.

"Then, that's fine..." Shao Jingxing thought for a while, "The place where they live is still at the ear canal, burn it a little—in fact, as long as you don't hear any strange sounds in the future, it proves that they have all been driven away Well."

Mr. Chen still felt uneasy after thinking about it: "Let's burn it, I'm not afraid of pain." What if the remaining bugs learn to behave, stop making noise and just suck blood quietly?Just thinking about it is scary.

Since Mr. Chen made such a request, Shao Jingxing had no choice but to carefully control the flames to a minimum, and set fire to Mr. Chen's ear canal.

At this moment, Mr. Chen's ear canals turned red, but he didn't complain at all, but was very happy: "Mr. Shao really lives up to his reputation!"

"Hurry up and apply ice cubes to cool down, and if you have any medicine for burns, apply a layer..." Shao Jingxing was at a loss by his words, no, how did he live up to his reputation?What name did Zhou Qingshan pass on to him?

Zhou Qingshan had an honored look on his face: "That's not true. Don't look at Jing Xing's young age, but his skills are real."

While talking, he asked curiously: "Jing Xing, that old Chen always hears someone talking in his ears, can this Jiao Ming still speak human language?"

Shao Jingxing was suddenly struck by lightning—it's over, he made a mistake!Yaoshou, he actually forgot the important factor that Mr. Chen heard someone talking!

Jiao Ming can't speak.To be precise, they cannot "make a human voice".In fact, they are almost silent. It is also said in Liezi that people with good eyesight like Li Zhu and Ziyu cannot see them; Can't hear them.

Ahhh, how could he forget such an important thing!Even Shi Kuang couldn't hear the voice, so how could Mr. Chen hear the voice of speaking?

A bug that can make a human voice is a "bug", that is, the bug in the gossip!

Gossip can also be written as gossip.Therefore, some people think that "fei" is the same as "fei", but there are two ways of writing that's all.

actually not.Ji Xiaojiu told him: Fei is a kind of small insect. Because of its small size, it lives in the human body without being known by others.But they can be human voices, and sometimes they whisper in people's ears without a trace, so the rumors that start from nowhere and without evidence are called "rumours".

Therefore, it is a nest of "bugs" living in Mr. Chen's ears, not Jiao Ming.

If only Mr. Chen and Zhou Qingshan were there, Shao Jingxing would simply admit that his science popularization posture was wrong, and get up and repeat.But isn't there another Chen Xiang?He has been standing by the side with a stern face, listening with his ears pricked up.If he admits that he made a mistake now, Chen Xiang might still laugh at him in his heart, how embarrassing it is!

Face is the most important thing.Anyway, to Mr. Chen and Zhou Qingshan, it's no big deal even if they get it wrong, and they don't need to write research papers.

Shao Jingxing made up his mind, and said bravely, "Generally, Jiao Ming doesn't inhabit human beings, so there are no records about it..." He could neither say that Jiao Ming could not be a human voice, nor continue to spread wrong knowledge. It was said that Jiao Ming could speak human language, so he had no choice but to be vague.

Fortunately, Zhou Qingshan didn't think too much, just sighed and said: "Really, there are so many things in this world."

Seeing that Shao Jingxing had settled the situation, Chen Xiang flattered him a few times, and Mr. Chen didn't bother to talk to him, so he left in a daze.Seeing him go out, Mr. Chen sighed deeply, and asked Shao Jingxing, "Are there really no ghosts in this world?"

Shao Jingxing was stunned for a moment, seeing that Mr. Chen's expression was a bit lost, and after thinking about it, he understood what he meant - Mr. Chen is an atheist, even if he is sick this time, he may not really change his beliefs. Chen Xiang tricked people into coming to him, probably because he himself hoped that there would be a theory of reincarnation of ghosts in this world, so that his wife could exist in another form...

But there are really no ghosts in this world.Shao Jingxing hesitated for a long time, but still said: "When a person dies like a lamp goes out, there are really no ghosts. When you are alive, you have a harmonious relationship, so you don't have any regrets..."

Mr. Chen sighed and said: "But think about it, I could have treated her better before, but I always ignored her for the sake of the company or other entertainment..." After the person left, I was full of regret when I thought about it up.If there is a reincarnation of ghosts, there may be a chance to make up for it.

Shao Jingxing didn't know how to comfort him.No clichés like mourning are appropriate here.He racked his brains and thought for a long time, and said: "Actually, if there are ghosts, you and your wife will become strangers in the next life, and each of you will form a family with someone else. This is not specific, it is better to live in one lifetime." , only this pair."

Mr. Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Shao, although you are young, you are very insightful when it comes to love."

Indeed, thinking about it this way, reincarnation or something is really a bit unfriendly to the lovers, so it's fine as it is now.

"Xiao Shao, you are young, how do you know so much?" Mr. Chen has replaced "Mr. Shao" with "Xiao Shao" now, feeling closer.

Zhou Qingshan said inexplicably proudly: "Xiao Shao also has a very good eye for antiques." Regardless of whether the antiques seem to have little to do with Jiao Ming or Qingxue blood.

However, Mr. Chen had no objection. Instead, he nodded in admiration: "So, it's not based on age."
