15. Chapter XIV
After a long conversation in the middle of the night, I finally understood that the way of ghosts and gods was far less mysterious than what mortals imagined.
Xuan Ling said, although the 300 million mortal world can accommodate a large number of people, but the soul can be retained for a longer time after death, and after thousands of years of accumulation, the underworld has long been full of souls.
There is such a group of people who have crossed the Lethe River but can't squeeze out a place for reincarnation, and they float everywhere like a blank sheet of paper. The people above felt that this group of people was neither threatening nor occupying space, so they put some of them together in the mortal realm for the time being. I am not afraid that they will escape, but if you want to be human again, you still have to go to the underworld.
It seems that it is quite difficult to be reincarnated these days. I thought that there would come a day, so I asked my seniors, "Then how did you get this place?" β
Xuanling floated on the head of my bed: "Except for the people on it, the others are naturally bought with money." It is said that it is not expensive, and those who are offered in the mortal world are small, and they have to work for a hundred years to do it. Finally, he blew the tent next to my bed like a bored one, "So, cherish your hundred years of longevity." β
β¦β¦
When I first opened the door to a new world, I always felt curious about everything, but I couldn't ask the gist of it, and then I only heard her about trivial things, and I couldn't find out anything else, and finally we fell asleep unconsciously.
I also dreamed that I had become a wisp of ghost, and I wandered to His Majesty's room, grabbed his sacred and inviolable hand, and touched it.
When I woke up and shouted around the room, I didn't hear the sound of the bell again, and I don't know where I went.
The restaurant was still a deserted scene in the early morning, a few small servants were cleaning downstairs, I yawned down the stairs, and went to the backyard to get some cold water to wash my face.
As I was stretching my hands and moving my muscles, a dog came running from the back door, sniffed at me, and sat at my feet, two grape-like eyes watery at me.
I was stunned, it came at a bit of a coincidence, and it came specifically at me. Suddenly, I looked left and right, leaned down and lowered my voice and shouted, "Ghost lord? β
The dog didn't move, and the dark eyes reflected the meaning of my face. After quietly staring at me for a moment, he looked away as if he couldn't bear to look directly.
"You like this dog?" A slender figure came in at the low door. His Majesty walked over with two long legs, still holding a vacant rope chain in his hand.
When the dog saw His Majesty coming, he crawled to the ground with his two front paws, and his tail wagged, making a meek and happy appearance.
I half-squatted, turned my head and stared at the dog chain in his hand in a daze: "This is raised by my brother?" β
His majesty seemed to be suffocated: "Yesterday outside, someone was forced to stuff it." β
I let out a vague oh, thinking nothing of it, and started to smooth the dog's fur again.
He approached with the rope in his hand, glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, coughed twice, and asked again, "Do you like this kind of dog?" β
My heart was slightly paused, the alarm bell was loud, what I experienced last night was too strange, and I haven't come back to my senses much today, and I haven't been able to think carefully about His Majesty's holy will, it really shouldn't be! immediately answered: "I like it, but I like it, if my brother is willing to cut his love, let me raise it first." β
His Majesty's expression was obviously relaxed, and after a moment of silence, he slowly hummed and said unprecedentedly: "I'm tired of you." β
I didn't care much, originally I also liked cute things, but I never raised them, so I folded a blade of grass to tease the dog, and said casually: "What is my brother doing so politely." β
He was silent for a long time: "I'll go out today, do you want to follow?" β
I was busy: "Follow! Yes, of course. β
He was silent, and reached out for no reason and touched the top of my hairβjust like I touched a dog. "Are you willing to go to Peony Villa?"
Only then did I remember that in my previous life, the Peony Villa had been moved back to its address, and its original residence was outside this Xiancheng City.
Peony Villa is a family of medicines, doing the business of medicinal materials. There are also children in the clan who are officials in the court, but they have always been plain, and the ancestors are mixed up to three grades at most. Later, somehow had great luck, the old lady had a good eye and let a concubine in the clan marry into the family as a concubine. Although she is a concubine, the son of the family loves her very much, and after becoming a court zaifu all the way, he uses a little means to tilt resources, and then raises a mountain villa inside and out.
The owner of the villa hugged his thighs, and naturally did not want to continue to live in the small place of Xiancheng, and moved north after a low-key period of more than ten years. I married into the Peony Villa, almost because they had just finished moving, so they had never been to the original site of this dedication, and I didn't think about it for a while.
I thought for a moment: "Is my brother going to talk to them about some kind of cooperation?" β
His Majesty smiled and said, "What do I cooperate with them." β
"That's ......" I was confused for a moment, then straightened out the relationship in my mind, paused, and tilted my head to look at him: "In my previous life, I often heard that the wife of Lord Zaifusi was a person from Peony Villa, although she was originally a concubine, but due to the unfortunate early death of the main room, Lord Si straightened her." Later, I had a pair of children, and I was extraordinary, and I have seen them. It's just because Si Ningxue and Si Cheng will come to the villa from time to time to stay for a while, brother, do you think I remember? β
I still remember that Si Cheng, who was two years older than me, had to call me Aunt Gu. However, their status rests there, I can usually see it from a distance, but I can't speak, and the radiant daughter naturally never puts me in the corner of his eyes.
His Majesty withdrew his hand: "They are now in the Peony Villa, yes." He was also half-squatting, looking down at me, and after looking at me for a while, the expression on his face was helpless, "You don't like her description?" β
I said so many people, and His Majesty picked out a "her", presumably because of the formal shyness and didn't plan to leave.
But in my previous life, I really didn't have any holidays with Si Ningxue, and her reputation is so good, Allure Beauty, what do I not like?
touched two handfuls of dogs: "What did my brother say, I just don't like Peony Villa" poked him with his elbow and smiled ambiguously, "Then can you still hold a grudge against your sister-in-law." β
His Majesty was not embarrassed and embarrassed as I imagined, but he smiled earnestly, a little indifferently, "Don't say such things again." "Stand up," but I didn't go to Peony Villa this time to ...... it, and spontaneously ignored a paragraph, "It's because your identity was simple in your previous life, but you died in assassination, and only Peony Villa has this ability and has something to do with you, to ensure your safety in the future, you naturally have to check them out." β
