"Sister Fengyu, am I really that terrible?"

I listened to Jiuhuang's words, the corners of my mouth twitched, I really wanted to say do you know your own identity? You are a ghost and people are human now, and of course talking to others coldly at night will scare others. But it's good to scare people to cry, but if you meet a cowardly person and scare them to death, you will have one more sin on your body for no reason.

But I didn't say these words in the end, because I felt sorry for her, and even more so if I made it worse. So I just looked at her, pretending to be very sincere, and said, "Of course you are not terrible, you want to talk to people very right, but that scholar is too timid." ”

Listening to my words, Jiuhuang raised his head very proudly, with an expression of "I knew it would be like this" on his face.

I looked at the corners of my mouth and twitched again.

Childe looked at the two of us, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes. Then he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Then why have you stayed in the world until now?"

Jiuhuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Because I don't want to leave yet." ”

Childe glanced at her coldly, held the teacup and said softly: "There are only two possibilities for ordinary people's souls to refuse to go to the underworld to be reincarnated after death, either the resentment is too heavy, and the soul turns into a resentful ghost and wanders in the world, or the obsession is too deep, and there are unfinished things worth worrying about." ”

Childe looked her up and down: "I don't look like you are a ghost, you stay in the world, but what else is there to worry about?"

After hearing this, Jiuhuang lowered his head very shyly: "Big brother, you have guessed this, you are so powerful." ”

Childe raised an eyebrow, but did not speak again.

I looked at it and asked, "Then do you have any unfinished business worth worrying about?"

Seeing me ask like this, Jiuhuang thought about it seriously with his chin propped up, and said, "Sister Fengyu, I'm looking for someone, I wanted to see him when I died, and I want to see him now." At the end she added, "But I've been looking for him for so long that I can't remember what he looks like, and I still haven't found him." ”

She hung her head a little frustratedly, but my focus was not on whether she had found the person or not.

I looked at her already thin spirit and asked, "How long have you been on earth?"

Jiuhuang thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know, it should have been a long time." ”

Childe also seemed to have discovered this problem, put down the teacup and looked at her and kindly reminded: "If you don't go to the underworld to reincarnate again, your soul will be scattered in a short time." ”

I followed Childe's words: "Once the soul is gone, you will never be reincarnated as a human being, or even reincarnation." ”

Jiuhuang was stunned, as if he was frightened by our words, and bit his tongue and said, "Then what should I do?"

I instructed succinctly: "Now go to the underworld to drink Meng Po soup and then jump off the reincarnation pool to be reincarnated and reincarnate." ”

Jiuhuang's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he sobbed quietly, "But...... But they haven't found the person I'm looking for......"

Childe looked at her expressionlessly, and said ruthlessly: "Then you can go to him." He paused, then added, "Perhaps your soul will be scattered before you can find him." ”

Jiuhuang was stunned for a while, and finally covered his face and cried. Her cries grew louder and tended to get louder.

Although it's still daytime, after all, it's still a little infiltrating for a ghost to cry here.

Rubbing my ears and deciding to distract her, I asked, "Do you remember the name of the person you're looking for?"

Her crying stopped for a while, and she sobbed and said, "Remember, remember, his name is Ah Pei......"

I plucked out my ears: "Say it again, what's his name?"

Jiuhuang hurriedly explained: "It's Ah Pei!"

I looked at her appearance and wanted to continue to tease her, but Childe took the lead and asked, "Then what is his full name?"

Jiuhuang was stunned, with an expression of wanting to cry, and stumbled: "I, I forgot ......"

In the following time, Childe and I asked Jiuhuang some more questions, but she couldn't answer them very well. I think this is probably because her soul is damaged, after all, the yang energy in the world is too heavy, and she is a ghost, so it is inevitable that she will be damaged after staying for a long time. And the soul is the foundation of human beings, so it is normal to lose some memories and forget some things.

Later, Gongzi saw that it was a little late, and it was raining again, Jiuhuang had nowhere to go, and his soul was also seriously damaged, so he kept her out of kindness, but he didn't expect her to refuse, and stayed with peace of mind.

I watched Jiuhuang lie on the soft couch in my room and turn over, then turned his head slightly, raised his hand and picked up the bamboo skewer and picked the wick. I watched the candle flame flicker, and Childe sat across from me, and his face was visibly extinguished because of this.

I picked the wick one by one, and said as I picked it, "Childe, what do you think should be done?"

"What to do?" he asked.

"Naturally, it's Jiuhuang. I raised my chin towards the sleeping Nine Phoenix, "As you said, if she really continues to stay in the world, I'm afraid the day when her soul will dissipate." ”

"It's her own business for her to stay, why are you worried?" Childe smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was faint.

I choked, raised my hand to support my chin, but the movement of my hand did not stop, and the candle flame flickered with the stirring of the bamboo stick: "Maybe it's because I like her very much, and she is quite close to me, and ......" I paused, and my voice gradually lowered, "She is like me, she has things that she wants to find but can't remember." ”

Childe also paused, and his voice was a lot darker: "Oh, yes, what is it that you want to find but can't remember?"

I lowered my eyes slightly, and the movements in my hands became careless.

"Childe, I haven't told you about me yet. I thought for a moment and continued, "Although I studied under the Cangyun Immortal Throne, that was from five hundred years ago. Before that, I knew what I had been through, but I couldn't remember what I had been through. The previous events were like a dream, as soon as I woke up from the dream, I forgot all about it, and as soon as I woke up from the dream, I became the seventeenth disciple under the Cangyun Immortal Monarch. ”

I put down the bamboo stick, looked at the blackened top that was burned by the candle flame, and said, "Actually, I often remember something, but it's just a fragment, not clear." I also wanted to go and find what I had done before, but the master said that if I was important in my heart about something that I had forgotten, it would come to me on its own. I waited for a long time, it didn't come, and then I didn't want to wait. ”
