Chapter 5: Jade Fate (1)
On this day, I felt in a trance, I suddenly became an impermanent official, and there was an extra little ghost as an assistant, and the meow hall had a rare peace of mind to tell me something to solve my doubts, the impermanence of the underworld after a long period of work, the performance is better, you can be promoted to do the work, and you can even enter the palace of the ten halls of Yama to do some errands, so there must be a substitute for the promotion. Therefore, every once in a while, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu will immediately choose an area and sow something similar to a seed that can cultivate impermanence, which will then fall into the body of a pregnant woman who is pregnant, be absorbed by the fetus, and then slowly grow in the fetus.
But this thing also depends on the physique, some seeds thrive in the body, and then exude a great smell and are found by the dispatching officer and brought back to the underworld to receive the post, just like me, and some fetuses are not suitable for the survival of the seed because the constitution is not suitable for the survival of the seed, so the seed cannot grow, so it will not emit the smell, which proves that it is not suitable for cultivation as an impermanent official, so the seed is used to screen the impermanent official, and the meow hall belongs to the dispatch officer.
When sending us out of the underworld, the meow hall was also kind and patient to explain to me how to enter the underworld passage and other matters, I looked at the meow hall gratefully, I felt that although it spoke a little fiercely, but the bottom of my heart was still very kind, looking at my starlight flashing eyes, the meow hall sighed helplessly and said Don't think about it, I'm just tired, tired.
The underworld passage extends in all directions, and when I stepped out of the passage, I found myself outside the dormitory building, ahaha, it turns out that there is a place outside the dormitory building that can be connected, I reached out and held Yoyo, that is, the hand of the little Lori strode into the dormitory building, before the body of my thermos is gone, but the old woman before is still there, seeing me walk in, he is still smiling at me and wants to reach out and grab my legs.
Although I am holding the little ghost Yoyo in my hand, Yoyo has been able to maintain the appearance of his life with the help of Lord Bai, and Yoyo is still holding a big white rabbit doll in his arms, she said that it was also given by Lord Bai, so that she can live in the doll during the day and not receive the damage of the sun, okay, anyway, I didn't see when Lord Bai gave her the doll. Having said that, the appearance of this woman is really too scary, I can't help but chuckle in my heart when I see her blocking the door, I feel that the whole person is not good, although I am now an impermanent official, but I am still afraid to die, I suddenly have an urge not to enter the door, but this is a big night, I don't go into the dormitory building where to sleep at night.
"Sister, she seems to have something to say," Yoyo felt my arm holding her hand tremble slightly, knowing that I was still afraid, but this is a responsibility, seeing a ghost must be restrained, otherwise there will be no pay.
"Something to say?" I frowned and reached out to support my forehead but accidentally touched the wound on the corner of my forehead, it hurt, seeing me ask, the old woman actually smiled and nodded, her mouth opened and closed to reveal the broken root of the tooth, but I couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Mother-in-law, come this way," Yoyo looked at the aunt on duty in the hall of the dormitory building, and then stretched out her hand and dragged the old woman to the corner outside the door.
"Sister, my mother-in-law is so pitiful, can we help her," Yoyo reached out and pulled the corner of my clothes, her big eyes were full of pleading, I looked at Yoyo's gaze and couldn't help but feel soft, and then I found a very substantive problem, I didn't know how to help her.
"It's good to lose a little bit of your mana to her, she is also an old ghost, after so many years of time, it is already very good to be able to maintain the form of a ghost," I couldn't help but feel a thrill when I heard this voice, this is the voice of the meow hall.
"Why are you here?" I looked at the unnatural gaze of the meow hall, and my heart suddenly warmed, this cat is really arrogant to the extreme.
"Don't think about it, I'm just afraid that you're stupid, and the underworld doesn't have enough manpower, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect you to pay your performance when you come back," Meow Dian stopped after walking around the old woman a few times and said, "Do as I say, lose your mana to her a little." ”
I stretched out my hand and gently held the old woman's hand, very strange, this old woman is obviously very old, but the touch of the hand is like a young girl in her twenties, but now I don't have time to think about it so much, I sink my heart according to what Meow Hall said slowly control the extra warm current in my body, guiding the warm flow to the old woman's body, Meow Hall said well, the effect is very immediate, I only lost a little bit, the color of the old woman's figure seems to be much brighter than before, No wonder I've been looking at her for years before, it turns out that her ghost form has a tendency to become transparent, so it looks gray.
"Thank you, child," I could finally hear the old woman's voice, who took my hand and patted it gently, her eyes kind and kind.
"Mother-in-law, why do you look like this?" Yoyo asked, holding the big rabbit and tilting his little head.
"Mother-in-law?" The old woman seemed to be a little puzzled, but then laughed again, and the smile was slightly bitter, "It's not wrong to call mother-in-law, after all, it's been hundreds of years, but I was only thirty years old when I died." ”
"No wonder ......" Hearing her say this, I remembered the touch of the old woman's hand I had just touched, the skin was very elastic and firm, it was definitely not the old woman's hand, so something must have happened to her.
"She's been squatting here for more than three hundred years, and she's always looking at that doorway, and she doesn't leave," Meow Dian jumped down my legs and squatted on my shoulders, and then habitually licked her paws.
"It's been three hundred years, why didn't the underworld take her away to reincarnate and let her stay here alone for more than three hundred years?" I'm very puzzled, even if the underworld lacks manpower, it can't be too busy for three hundred years to take care of the ghosts here.
"She has a deep obsession, and because of the influence of what happened before her death, she can't be reincarnated, so she can only stay here," Meow said slowly, and then continued to lick her paws.
"Obsession?" I'm not unfamiliar with this term, but I can't think of what kind of influential thing it is that can make a person have such a strong obsession and be willing to be a ghost for more than 300 years without reincarnation?
"Hey......" The old woman sighed and looked quietly into the distance, her eyes revealed a trace of nostalgia, and a trace of comfort appeared on her lips very strangely, "It's a long time to talk about old-fashioned things......" Somehow, looking at her smile, I suddenly felt that she had a warm beauty.
