Chapter 36: Yin and Yang Conflict
I have no experience in body explosion, and Master Yunzheng is trying his best to teach me. After all, he is a first-generation refiner, and everything needs accumulation. I wrote this down in my diary. The special situation and characteristics of this deceased person are all about experience, which is accumulated slowly. This is what my master told me.
When I went to work in the morning, Zhao Tie brought me a bag of tea. After I brewed it, it was really delicious.
"Zhao Tie, you should also work harder and become a disciple sooner."
"Master, when I first came here, I wasn't afraid at all, but now I'm inexplicably afraid."
"It's normal, it's okay, you'll get used to it slowly."
I was thinking about Liu Xiaojing. What on earth is this woman planning?
Liu Xiaojing has never been married and has never been in a relationship. She is almost 30 years old. Maybe it is not easy to find a partner here. As a makeup artist, she comes into contact with dead people every day.
Bai Jie asked me to go to her house for dinner in the evening, so I went there and called Master Yun Zheng.
When we talked about marriage that day, Master Yunzheng looked at me.
"Just eleven!"
My master is like a parent. I think he's about 11! My father also wants me to get married early. He said that I'll have someone to take care of me, and when I retire, I can move back to the countryside. He has a house there.
Bai Jie didn't say anything, lowered her head, and her face flushed.
I thought nothing would happen again, but unexpectedly, Liu Xiaojing got into trouble. I was worried about this woman. She was so beautiful that no man could resist her. But she was also strange and a little evil. I was most afraid of women like this. They had fox eyes.
The day Liu Xiaojing got into trouble was at night.
It was raining heavily that night. It was already the middle of the night when someone knocked on the door. I woke up and my father woke up too. He looked at me and I also found it strange that someone was knocking on the door so late.
I opened the door and was startled by the person outside who was wearing a raincoat.
"Ke Zuo, it's me."
I saw that it was a high school classmate of mine, so I let him in. It seemed like something must have happened.
The classmate came in and didn't sit down.
"Ke Zuo, Ma Dahe died at a very young age. His family said he would be cremated tomorrow, so I had to come to you."
I was stunned. Ma Dahe, I know that boy who is cheerful all day long seems to have no worries.
"good."
That classmate and I went to Ma Dahe's home, sent the body to the crematorium and put it in the freezer . I had to come early in the morning and let Master Yi put on makeup for him. This kid actually committed suicide by jumping into the river. He was so ugly that he was out of shape. After seeing it, I couldn't even remember what he looked like.
Such an accident is truly a pity. When asked about the reason for suicide, it turned out to be because his partner was taken away by someone else. This is really...
The dead are the greatest, the master always says. Even if the dead are bad, we have to say good things about them, and all the bad things are thrown away.
I went to the crematorium in the morning and found Master Yi. She took a look and said.
"The most troublesome thing, I asked Bai Jie to do the makeup."
"Can she do it?"
"no problem."
I asked Zhao Tie to leave a stove for me. After I finished putting on my makeup and said goodbye, I put it into the stove.
Ma Dahe's parents came and gave me a pack of cigarettes. When I refused to take them, they got anxious. This is also the psychological comfort that the family members seek.
I didn't put Ma Dahe into the furnace myself. It was Zhao Tie who did it. After Ma Dahe was put into the furnace, the rain outside stopped and the sun slowly rose.
Many classmates came, but I didn’t go out to meet them. I knew they didn’t like me, except at this time when I was their guest of honor. But I didn’t know what they were thinking.
Liu Xiaojing came in, looked at me and said.
"Why did you kill the flowers?"
I was stunned. It was impossible. It was fine when I changed clothes.
I thought to myself, it would be better if it died. I really can’t stand that dead flower.
"I don't know. Maybe he should be dead, just like a human."
Liu Xiaojing glared at me and went out.
I gave Zhao Tie two boxes of cigarettes.
"Can you do it yourself?"
"Master, no problem."
"I'm in the office, just call me if you need anything."
My classmates asked me to go out for dinner, but I didn’t go because I didn’t want to go. They were annoyed with me, and I’m a very annoying person. I won’t go and make people hate me.
I was sitting in the office, and the dead flower really died. The flowers fell off, and the leaves drooped. I was puzzled, how could this happen?
I lit a cigarette and looked at the flowers when Liu Xiaojing suddenly came in and scared me.
She didn't look at me and took the dead flower away.
After a while she came in again, bringing in another pot of flowers that were blooming blood red.
"Do you like this dead flower?"
"This is for your own good. I hope you won't call it the dead man's flower. It's called the Manzhusha flower."
After she said that she left. I looked at the flower and it felt a bit hairy and red like blood.
Liu Xiaojing pushed the door open again and said with her head stretched out.
"I'll take you to see someone after get off work."
"No."
"To be precise, that person wants to see you. If you don't go, he will come."
"Liu Xiaojing, are you okay?"
"I have."
Liu Xiaojing said this and left.
Zhao Tie came in and the work was done. After I finished cleaning up, I came out and Liu Xiaojing was waiting for me at the door of the crematorium, pushing a new Phoenix bicycle. At that time, it was a very cool thing. Not to mention the money, even if you were rich, you might not be able to get it.
I walked over, she said.
"Master Xiao Ke, please entrust me with your help."
"No, if Bai Jie sees this, she'll punish me."
"You're not that petty, are you?"
Bai Jie ran over and glared at Liu Xiaojing.
"Master Bai, my master needs him for a day."
Bai Jie glanced at me.
I pulled Bai Jie aside and told her.
"Then go ahead, but be careful, I don't like this woman."
I know Bai Jie is afraid that this woman will take me away.
Liu Xiaojing and I went to her master's house in a tube-shaped building. In that era, being able to live in a building was considered very good, even though there was a stove in the building.
The corridor was pitch black. When we reached the third floor, Liu Xiaojing knocked on the door. Someone opened it and stuck their head out to take a look. I was shocked. Liu Xiaojing's master turned out to be Zheng Qing, who collected corpses in the morgue, and Liu Xiaojing was a makeup artist. This...
I would meet Zheng Qing in the morgue from time to time. He never smiled or spoke. After greeting you once, he would ignore you if you greeted him again. I asked my master about this, and he said, he is just that kind of person.
I didn't expect that Liu Xiaojing's master would be Zheng Qing. This was completely an accident.
When we went in, we found some weird atmosphere in Zheng Qing's house. It was hard to tell where it was, but it was a place that made people feel uneasy.
I didn't know what Zheng Qing wanted to talk to me about. I asked Liu Xiaojing on the way, but she didn't tell me. She just said that I would know when I got there.
Liu Xiaojing gave me Manzhushahua, the flower of the dead, what on earth did it mean? I don't know what she was trying to do.
Zheng Qing was quite polite. Liu Xiaojing seemed to be familiar with this place as well. She made tea for me, washed fruit, and then sat next to Zheng Qing, looking at me and smiling. I was a little nervous. Liu Xiaojing looked quiet and pretty, but what she did seemed a little unreliable.
Zheng Qing looked at me for a long time and said.
"Bai Jie is your apprentice, you are still here, you are in a relationship, which is not allowed here."
I was stunned. What did Zheng Qing mean?
I didn't say anything and looked at Zheng Qing.
"You can't fall in love or become husband and wife in a crematorium."
"Why?"
"You are a completely Yin person, and Bai Jie is completely Yang. Yin and Yang counteract each other, and when it's extreme Yin, it's extreme Yang. There will be problems between the two of you."
I frowned. This didn't sound very plausible. I didn't believe it.
"I know you won't believe it, but actually, Xiaojing is the one who suits you best."
I was stunned. What does this mean?
Liu Xiaojing looked at me with a smile, and Zheng Qing turned his head to look at Liu Xiaojing.
"Be serious."
Liu Xiaojing stopped smiling immediately.
"Master Zheng, I don't believe this. Bai Jie and I are in love, and we've even decided to get married."
"Absolutely not, that would cause problems."
"What's the problem?"
"Yin and Yang clash. In the crematorium, your Yin energy will become stronger and stronger. You will kill Bai Jie, and she will also cause you to suffer great damage, which will lead to death. Most importantly, some strange things will happen. This is what happens when Yin and Yang clash. Extreme Yin and extreme Yang."
I don't understand.
"Master Zheng, I'm sorry, I have something else to do."
I got up and left, and Liu Xiaojing saw me out.
"Ke Zuo, what my master said is true."
I stopped, hesitated, and then walked away.
I’m just wondering, if this happened, didn’t Master Yunzheng remind me?
I went directly to Master Yunzheng's house, and Master Yunzheng was at home.
I repeated what Zheng Qing had said, and then looked at the master.
"It's true."
"Then why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"This incident has never happened, but it is theoretically true. So, I am not in a good position, after all, it hasn't happened yet."
In theory? I think this may be true in other things, but in terms of love, I don't think it is true. Applying the Yin-Yang theory to love is nonsense.
After my master said this, I felt relieved. I thought that Liu Xiaojing might like me, so using this method might not necessarily work.
I went home. Although the master said so, my heart was soon in suspense again. Strange things were happening, and there was a great conflict between yin and yang. I couldn't imagine what strange things would happen.
I was at work and Zhao Tie was busy. I sat aside and smoked. I was thinking about all kinds of things that made me unable to calm down. Zhao Tie rushed into the refining room from the morgue like a madman, his voice distorted. I jumped up and down because I knew that Zhao Tie's parents were not easy to mess with, especially his mother.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, Master... Master, the man has stood up..."
I didn't move, waiting for him to explain himself.
"The body stood up."
This was clearly stated, and I understood it. I almost fell to the ground. I had never seen or heard of such a thing before, and Master Yun Zheng probably had never encountered it either.
I walked towards the morgue very slowly, with Zhao Tie following behind me. The door of the morgue was slowly pushed open. My heart almost jumped out of my chest, and Zhao Tie was pressed tightly against the wall.
The door opened and a man walked out. To be exact, it was a corpse. He was all made up and walked like a normal person. When he saw us, he stood there and asked questions for a long time.
"What is this place?"
I was sweating as I analyzed, is this a human or a ghost?
"A crematorium where people are burned to death."
My voice trembled, and I whispered.
"Looking for the director."
Zhao Tie rushed out of the refining room.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
I feel like I'm already in a frenzied state right now.
"I don't know either."
When he blurted out that sentence, I was so upset that my legs went weak and I almost fell to the ground.
