Chapter V: Deliberations
Coming out of the dark ditch, the group of people outside was long gone
Yun Xi thought to herself, "It's so late, there is no restaurant open in the world, when she was Meng Po, she loved to eat snacks in the world, Hongyue must have prepared a lot for her, when the time comes, let the child drink Meng Po soup, forget about these things, entrust him to a good person, and then go to find Mingge Xingjun to change her fortune, settle this child, and then go to find that group of cannibalistic guys, to see if it is a ghost or a demon."
As soon as she came out of the dark ditch, she met Rui Huan, who was looking for her, Rui Huan held the wine jug and asked her with a smile, "What's the matter, you have become a god, why is your face whiter than my ghost, are you lost too much!" ”
"Rui Huan, did you drive?"
Rui Huan looked at it and found that Yun Xi was holding a boy in his hand, so shocked that even his eyes fell out, and exclaimed, "Yun Xi, this is ...... It's your ......"
"No," Yun Xi categorically interrupted Rui Huan's words that were about to pop out, "Pick up the eyeballs that fell to the ground, or I'll step on them!" As he spoke, he lifted his foot and prepared to step on it
"Don't, long time no see, why is there such a big anger" Rui Huan hurriedly picked up the eyeballs that fell to the ground
Yun Xi felt the boy in her arms tremble for a while, and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, she's a good ..... "Yunxi didn't know how to explain Rui Huan to the boy in front of him, he couldn't be said to be a good ghost
Rui Huan slowly stuffed his eyeballs back into his sockets, and jumped in front of the boy, "No, sister, I'm a good ghost", after speaking, he looked at the boy suspiciously, put his hand on the boy's forehead, and "boom" A green flame ignited on the boy's forehead, "Yunxi, you're not a human being, you didn't say it earlier, I thought it scared people"
"Rui Huan, what are you talking about" Yun Xi put down the boy in his arms and looked at him fixedly, "You said he was dead?" ”
"That's right, Yunxi, you didn't even notice? I see that you have been a ghost for two lifetimes, but you have done it in vain, and now you can't even tell the difference between humans and ghosts."
"Don't be sarcastic about me, car!" Yun Xi was annoyed for a while, not because of Rui Huan's sarcasm, but because she felt that she didn't save this hard-working child
Rui Huan whistled, and saw from a distance, a large lump of green ghost fire flew in, and the next second it stopped in front of the boy, which skulls made of wheels, one by one, said "Your Majesty, please get in the car"
Yun Xi looked at the boy who was already sluggish, and suddenly felt that one head was two big, how to explain this, the ghost who can drop his eyes, the skull that can talk, in addition to not eating people, is really a bit strange, and he still said calmly on his face, "You get in the car first, and I'll explain to you when I go back, but don't be afraid, they're all good ghosts."
"Sister, what about you?" The boy stood outside the car, looking with some fear at the long tongue that the skull spat out
"It's dangerous outside, good girl, you go up and wait for me first, I'll get in the car later" Yun Xi touched the boy's head, picked him up and put him on his tongue, and the skull rolled his long tongue handsomely, and put the boy in the car
"Rui Huan, you come with me" Yun Xi finished speaking and walked towards the dark ditch
"Gold, you're here waiting for me and the Divine King"
It turns out that this car is called gold, and the name of this car is really cheesy enough, Yun Xi thought to himself
Dark gutter
"Yunxi, where is this? It stinks," Rui Huan said, covering his nose
"Rui Huan, can you smell it?" It stands to reason that ghosts and immortals can't smell the rot of the world
"It's resentment, I can only smell the smell left by the soul, if it's resentment, it's stinky, if it's regret, it's sour, if it's happy, it's sweet...... and it's mostly sour," Rui Huan explained
"Can you find out where the resentment is heaviest?" Yun Xi asked
Rui Huan sniffed the smell of the dark ditch, covered his nose and said, "All"
"All?" Yun Xi was stunned, generally speaking, where there is a lot of resentment, there will be a central point
"Yunxi, are you looking for that boy's body?"
"Well, it's okay for you to cast a spell today" Yun Xi was a little worried about Rui Huan, Rui Huan is different from other ghosts and immortals, she was born in the underworld, this kind of day of great changes in yin and yang, Rui Huan will also be affected
"Yunxi, I'm a little uneasy here, you're outside, let's find it quickly."
"Okay, then I'll give you the Dharma protector, you be careful in everything, call me if you have anything" Yun Xi looked at Rui Huan with some concern
Rui Huan patted Yunxi's shoulder to show reassurance
After about two incense sticks, Yun Xi waited until Rui Huan came out
"How?" Yun Xi asked Rui Huan
Rui Huan shook his head and said, "Not here, not only that, the strange thing is that there is only resentment here"
"Only resentment, what are those corpses"
"That's where the weirdness goes"
"Those who have no grievances on the top, they are all people who have died right, it should be said that there is an ancestral grave below this"
After listening to what Rui Huan said, Yun Xi fell into deep thought, on weekdays, she shielded her facial features, and the trick might work, but today's situation is special, all her divine power is released to the maximum extent, and there is no reason why she will not find out
"Rui Huan, you wait for me" After speaking, Yun Xi returned to the dark ditch
The dark ditch that was cleaned by Rui Huan has cleared up a lot, and it seems that the grievances have been collected by Rui Huan, and the scene seen before has not changed, but there is one place that makes Yun Xi feel strange
"Sister, where are you?"
Yun Xi heard the little boy who shouted to her outside again, and said in her heart that she would go back first, and then come and see
Dream Inn
The wine brewed by the Dream Inn when he was Meng Po in Yunxi is a must, and the two ghosts who are red - Hongyue and Rui Huan will hold a banquet here every year in the Midyear Festival, and there are still a lot of ghosts this year, these ghosts do not enter the reincarnation, they are ghosts from birth, and they are a wisp of smoke when they die, and they are born in the underworld and grow up in the underworld, and when they grow to a certain age, they will be sealed to various hells on errands, these ghosts generally will not leave the underworld, and there are also playful people who take advantage of today to go to the world to see
And the ghosts of the world will still enter reincarnation after atoning for their sins in hell, and today in the seventh and a half months, except for the evil ghosts, the rest have been put back in the world to visit relatives, and some demons will also choose to go to the world today, so there is a parade of a hundred ghosts
(The midyear festival is also known as the seventh and a half months, don't care, the rotation of the two words is upside down)
"Look, it's the Divine Monarch and they're back!" The lively underworld on weekdays is also a lot deserted after the ghosts in the world are gone, and the empty ghost cars in the night sky are particularly prominent
"I'm finally back" Hongyue breathed a sigh of relief and said to the ghosts around her, "What's the noise, Jun Shang is back, and he's almost ready to take a seat"
The skull carried Yun Xi and his party, and in the sky above the Dream Inn, there was a chic drift, and it stopped steadily in the center, and the skull stretched out its long tongue like a red carpet, holding Yun Xi, Rui Huan and the nameless child on it
"What's going on?" Hongyue stepped forward, took the little boy in Yun Xi's arms, looked at the two with heavy faces and asked
"Go in and say," Yun Xi whispered as she walked up to Hongyue's ear
"Okay, Yunxi, they're all waiting for you to come," Hongyue pointed to the ghosts in Yunxi's eyes
"This year, you are still presiding over the banquet, I will take the two of them in first, I made an enchantment in the backyard, and others can't hear it" Hongyue turned her back to the ghosts when she spoke, and others couldn't see Yun Xi and Rui Huan's faces, so she handed the wine glass to Yun Xi while she was talking
"Hongyue is really thorough" Yun Xi said in his heart, took the wine glass and said, "You guys go in first"
Yun Xi waited for the red moon and them to enter the backyard, and said: "Today, Benjun is happy, I will toast everyone first, everyone just let go and drink, but don't forget that when the rooster crows, you still need to pick up the ghosts and monsters who go to the world, and start the banquet!" ”
"Your Excellency, don't worry, the little ones remember."
Yun Xi knocked the talking imp with chopsticks and said, "You are the most clever"
"Your Majesty, when you were a Meng Po, that wine was so delicious, is there anything else?"
"Yes, look at that corner," Yun Xi said, pointing to the corner
"I'll go hold an altar first"
"Hey, Niu Tou, what are you in a hurry, I think you are hiding it privately, right?"
Yun Xi looked at the ghosts who were scrambling to steal wine and said, "Difu, have you been treated badly now?" I don't have any good wine."
"No, your lordship, you don't know, now the water in the underworld has changed, and the wine is not as good as before" The cow head pinched his own cow hooves, for fear that Yun Xi would blame himself
"The water has changed?"
"Well, since three hundred years ago, the water has been getting bitterer every year"
Yun Xi patted the bull's head and said: "I'll reward you with a jar of wine, but there is one condition, you have to take care of the front yard, if anyone dares to make trouble"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is an old cow"
"Well, then I'll go and see the backyard, someone came to me, and they said that I couldn't drink enough to rest" After speaking, Yunxi walked to the backyard
backyard
As soon as Yun Xi entered the door, he saw the boy who was already asleep, and Rui Huan was telling Hongyue about what happened in the dark ditch
After listening, Hongyue's face became more and more heavy
"Red Moon, do you think it's artificial?" Yun Xi sat opposite Hongyue and Rui Huan, leaning back in his chair
"I don't know, if it's man-made, you and I can't interfere, if it's a demon......." Hongyue said and glanced at Yunxi
Yun Xi didn't avoid Hongyue's eyes, "I discussed it with Rui Huan on the road, whether it is done by people or demons, I have to take care of this matter"
Rui Huan stood up suddenly, "Yunxi, I know it's strange there!" ”
"You speak slowly, don't be surprised," Red Moon continued, "It's such a big ghost, why aren't you steady?"
"Hongyue, don't interrupt me, Yunxi, you found that this kid was cursed in the dark ditch, that's why the resentment around him is so strong, if this kid is not dead, the formation will not move, if he dies, the soul will move to another place along with the resentment" Rui Huan hurriedly said his thoughts
"This matter has to be investigated carefully, and I heard from Niu Tou that the water in the underworld has become bitter, why haven't I heard you say it" Yun Xi took a sip of tea, and his face became solemn
"Your Majesty, the water quality has not changed, it is resentment, in the past few hundred years, the resentment of the underworld has become more and more serious" Rui Huan knew that Yun Xi was really angry at the moment
"Your Majesty, don't blame Rui Huan for not reporting to you, this matter was suppressed by the people of the heavenly realm, Rui Huan has cleaned up a lot in the past few years, and you also know that since the ghost king is gone, we..."
"Hongyue, I didn't blame you, this was the territory of the Ghost King, although he is gone, but I want to guard it for him" Yun Xi looked at the two people in front of him who had a deep relationship with him, and sighed
"Rui Huan, can you find the resentment of the dark ditch, is there any resemblance to the underworld" Yun Xi asked Rui Huan
Rui Huan's tone changed when he heard Yun Xi, and he returned to his previous appearance, "Yun Xi, when you say this, it is indeed a bit the same, but I have to continue to check"
"Well, you have to investigate this matter quietly, I will put pressure on the underworld, even if I am not as comfortable as the ghost king when he is there, I will never let you be wronged, but why don't you tell me, if I don't ask today, will I not say it" Yun Xi became more and more angry the more she said, she had been looking for the traces of the ghost king for tens of thousands of years, and she never expected that her best friends would be so difficult now, and cleaning up grievances was originally something that the lowest-ranking imp did
"Yunxi, don't be angry, the positions of me and Hongyue have not changed, but the things under our jurisdiction have changed, in fact, it's nothing" Rui Huan hurriedly said
"They just want to empty you, hmph, keep your position" Yun Xi sneered, "Today's matter, it is estimated that the heavenly realm also has a share"
"Yunxi, don't be impulsive, now your identity, alas, if the ghost king is still there, it is estimated that you will not be wronged, and now it is ......" Hongyue sighed
"Red Moon, don't worry, although my divine power has been sealed, but I am still an ancient god clan, you can rest assured that the heavenly realm can't help me, and I have a hunch, maybe I will find the ghost king this time"
"Yunxi, you can rest assured to check, if the heavenly realm dares to do something to you, I Rui Huan will protect you desperately"
"Rui Huan, you are anxious when it comes to the Heavenly Realm, Yunxi, Rui Huan is like this, and I am too" Hongyue said as she held Rui Huan's hand that had already smashed on the table
"I think if it wasn't for the Heavenly Realm, why would the Ghost King be like this," Rui Huan said, his eyes red as he spoke
There was a sudden silence in the room, and all three fell silent
"Hongyue, Rui Huan, you guys are secretly checking in the underworld to see if there is anyone who died in vain, tomorrow I will take him to the world, and I will ask Bai Quan to give me an approval, and you will prepare some medicinal materials for me in the underworld, so as to ensure that this child still looks like a mortal in the world during the day" Yun Xi broke the silent air
"Yun Xi, you suspect that there is a mole in the underworld" Rui Huan suddenly thought after listening to Yun Xi's words
"Well, the corpses in that dark ditch are piled up, such a big grievance, the underworld will not be unaware"
The three of them discussed it carefully, and Hongyue and Rui Huan stayed in the clouds to rest
Yun Xi sat on the roof, thinking about the first time he was a Meng Po, he looked at the sky and sighed, "You should come back too."
