Chapter 377: Ten Thousand Ghost Mansions
Chapter 377: Ten Thousand Ghost Mansions
I realized that I had forgotten, that I still had the ability of the Heavenly Pupil, I closed my eyes, held my breath and concentrated, although I did not open my eyes, but the scene in front of me became clearer and clearer. It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, it really shocks me. I knew there were a lot of ghosts when I first came here, but I didn't expect there to be so many. The Jiang Mansion, which was empty just now, is now full of people, no, it should be said that it is ghosts coming and going. These souls are all the same as when they were alive, they perform their own duties, and they are taking care of the trivial affairs of the entire Jiang family.
I now understand why Uncle Gui can't enter the Jiang family's mansion, but everything is still as usual here. But what makes people feel strange is that these ghosts do this, it should be imperceptible normally, but everything here is working as usual, and ordinary people can also see it, which is very strange, we all know that our world and the world of ghosts are two parallel spaces, and as far as I know, there is only one place in this world that can connect the two worlds of yin and yang, that is, the Yellow Spring Forbidden Land, but the Yellow Spring Forbidden Land has always only had ghosts, new souls, and non-human and non-ghost demons can be approached. That other shore is where our Onmyoji yearns for the most, but it is also a forbidden place that can never be approached.
There were all kinds of ghosts around, but they all smiled slightly, as if they had known me for a long time, and they greeted me warmly. "Little master, you're back." "Little master, look at this flower, it's blooming well." I nodded confused, but my heart was full of puzzlement. Every place I've been to in the past that has something to do with the Kui family. I can't see the shadow of a ghost all of them, but this Jiang family's mansion is so full of ghosts.
I looked at the ghosts around me, some of them looked like ordinary people, and some of them were very weird, such as the beautiful woman who was taking care of the flowers and plants over there, she looked very beautiful and dressed very fashionably, a typical beauty, but for some reason she was trapped here and couldn't get out. She saw me looking at her and smiled at me. Walked over. He patted the dirt on his palm.
"Little master, what's wrong with you?" She asked.
"It's nothing, I just see that your way of serving flowers and plants is very professional, did you do this before?" I said politely.
"Yes. I was a horticulturist when I was alive. So I will take care of the flowers and plants. I also like flowers and plants, they are much simpler than people. "She spoke in a very soft and nice voice.
"Little host. You also think she's good-looking, her name is Yiman, and she's a beauty here. A man over there who was repairing the corner of the wall said.
"What nonsense." Yi Man muttered.
"It's really beautiful." I said, "But how are you?" I didn't ask, and I didn't know what to say.
"You want to ask how I died and why I'm here, right?" Yi Man said casually, "Actually, I've been dead for ten years, and I don't care about mentioning my death for ten years, and I don't mind telling you about it." ”
Yi Man walked to the sink and began to wash his hands, "It was a normal weekend, I went shopping at the shopping supermarket in the city center, and when I was leaving, the alarm at the door suddenly sounded when I passed by, and the security guard on duty said that I had stolen something, took me to the duty room, and forcibly searched my body. I didn't steal anything in the first place, thinking that I could explain it clearly, but who knows, three security guards, in the security room, knocked me unconscious, and then violently assaulted me. In fact, even if this was the case, I was afraid that I would not want to die, but they were worried that I would wake up, so they stole the meat grinder of the raw meat stall and killed me... Crushed. "I listened to it creepy, but Yiman said it like someone else's business, and he didn't care.
"The reason why I am here is because my body is long gone, I can't be reincarnated, and I pity my parents, who have been looking for me for many years, but they have never been willing to give up. When I came here eight years ago, I realized that this place was full of ghosts like me, and I didn't have any hope, wandering around the world like this, and one day my soul would be scattered, but when I came here, they said that the master here has a strong spell and can help me re-enter the cycle one day. We are all waiting for this day, and we are waiting for you. Yi Man said as she suddenly showed her death, and I only felt a churning in my stomach, and I almost didn't throw up. What appeared in front of me was a pile of minced meat, and if I hadn't seen the stinging of offal and bones, I would have thought it was nothing more than a pile of ground pork.
"Scared the little master, this is my death, I think I'm afraid there is no second person in this world who will die like this." Yi Man said sadly. "The ghosts here are all lonely ghosts and wild ghosts who have nowhere to hide in this world, if it weren't for the spirit of this Jiang family's mansion, I'm afraid we would all have been scattered."
"All of them?" I asked.
"You haven't seen so many lonely souls and wild ghosts, look at the master who repairs the wall over there, he is called a great god by us, and he repairs everything we can't repair, but look at his death."
The master smiled at me, and then he suddenly collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud in a sewer as if he had melted all over his body. "He came home from overtime late at night, and was hit by the second generation of drunk drivers, and he didn't die immediately at that time, in order to save trouble, they used such extreme measures." Yi Man said.
"I never thought there would be so many people like you, ah, no, ghosts." I say.
"Not only now, but in all dynasties and dynasties, there are people like us, who have died, but are wandering in the world, if there is not such a place, there will be many more unjust souls in this world."
Yi Man took me around the small courtyard, and I roughly counted the number of ghosts in no less than hundreds, and the number was really amazing. "Shouldn't it be like this in the whole Jiang Mansion?" I asked.
"That's right, the Jiang Mansion can't be abandoned, it's all taken care of by ghosts, but we can only work for an hour a day, because if we want to do something that can be seen by the masters, we must spend a certain amount of physical strength, and if we do too much, there will be a danger of losing our souls." Yi Man said.
"Who's that over there?" I saw a little girl not far away, playing with flower arrangement, she was different from other ghosts, other ghosts were gray colors, only this girl was no different from normal humans.
"She's the one you're looking for, go over there." Yi Man stopped, not seeming to have the guts to get close there. I mustered up the courage to walk over, and the girl was quietly arranging the flowers, without raising her head, but her voice came.
"Coming?!" She asked, the voice was exactly the same as what I had heard before, and I couldn't believe that the person who made such a strange sound was a young girl.
"You're the one who just talked to me?" I asked.
"What do you say, I'm the only one in this yard with such a voice." She said.
"Senior, does it really matter that there are so many ghosts in this courtyard?" I asked.
"What does it matter, what is the difference between ghosts and people, ghosts must be bad? People must be good? She asked.
"Of course not." I replied.
"You see, how big is this Jiang family's mansion, what do you think would happen if there were hundreds of people living in this mansion?" She asked.
"With the scale of Jiang Zhai, I'm afraid it can accommodate a few hundred people, so naturally there will be nothing wrong with it." I say.
"Since it's okay to be a few hundred people, what's the matter with a few hundred ghosts." She said, "It's not nice to say, ghosts are much better than people, do you know why?" ”
"Why?" I asked.
"Ghosts, nobles, you look at the capitals and imperial cities of all dynasties, which one is not ghostly, and which one is not awe-inspiring. Since ancient times, whenever there has been a change of dynasties, there will inevitably be wars and rebellions, and the reason why the royal family is rich and noble is all based on these blood and blood. ”
"Then according to what you said, there are so many ghosts in our Jiang family's mansion, it can't be like this, right?" I asked.
"The history of the Jiang family is far longer than you think, so there are not many ghosts, the house and the ghost are breeding each other, for so many years, our Jiang family's mansion is not popular, and without these ghosts, how can it be said that it is still a house." She said.
"That's true, thanks to these ghosts." I say.
"In a way, it's like this, I'm the only one here, guarding this empty house." She said.
"You say you're human? Don't lie to me, she's a human being, but you're not. I pointed at her, "Come out." ”
The person opposite me suddenly fell down like a deflated balloon, and the little girl fell to the side, looking as if she was asleep, and then another person appeared in front of me, a very petite middle-aged woman, her face was very dark, and she looked a little like me, but it was a bit far-fetched to say that he was from our Kui family.
"Senior, you're finally willing to come out to see me." I say.
"I didn't mean to, my own time is running out, some time ago this child suddenly broke in, I took the opportunity to borrow her body for use, don't worry, she's fine, just rest for a few days." She said.
"Since this body is borrowed, who are you? Why does it appear in our Kui family? What is your relationship with our Kui family? I asked.
"How can you tell if I'm not a member of the Kui family? Do all the Kui family have to look exactly the same? She asked.
"It doesn't look the same, but at least it shouldn't," I said.
"It's not supposed to look like me, is it? I didn't lie to you, I am indeed a sinner of the Kui family, and I am a sinner of the Kui family. (To be continued.) )
