Chapter 11 The Heart Is Involved
Ghost Ji once said that the Soul Gathering Lamp is a holy object in the underworld, and only Yin Shu, the king of Hades, knows where it is. Onihime...
I sighed slightly, the ghost queen said that I was too stubborn, I should have given up a long time ago, but if I could do what I thought, why should I be bored and troubled? Isn't the same for the ghost queen?
Between us, who can say whom?
"Girl?"
These days, there are not many people who call me a girl.
"Meng Po?"
I raised my eyes and saw Meng Po smiling at me with a crutche, crutche-covered face and a little terrifying, but very kind. I waved at her and stepped on the boat, the underworld is weak, the feathers do not float, only the thousand-year-old rhinoceros in the land of nine yin can float, this ship is made of thousand-year-old rhinoceros.
"Girl Tiwu hasn't been to the underworld in years. ”
As soon as I landed, I heard Meng Po's slightly reproachful words, I smiled, took Meng Po's hand, and said, "Meng Po misses me?"
I think I'm tens of thousands of years old, and I have to be coquettish like a little girl... I'm a little ashamed.
But Meng Po prefers to eat this set, maybe she is too lonely, and there is no one to communicate with except the ghosts of the past on weekdays, so she will look forward to my arrival.
"I know that my mother-in-law misses you, so I don't come to the underworld often. ”
Meng Po glanced at me, I touched my nose, and said, "Isn't there still a ghost concubine?"
"That girl... Don't say it, she stayed silent by the bridge all day long, and when the Hades came back from the mortal world a few days ago, she didn't come. ”
"Yin Shu is back?"
I was surprised that he was not......
Meng Po nodded, "The Hades King returned to the underworld and did not immediately enter reincarnation. ”
So... Ghost Ji will be abnormal, no wonder she hasn't written to me for so long, it's not like her style.
"Good mother-in-law, I came to the underworld to look for ghosts, and when I finish talking to her, will I come to accompany my mother-in-law?"
When Meng Po heard this, she immediately frowned, snorted coldly, shook off my hand, returned to the Nai He Bridge, scooped the soup from the soup pot, and handed it to the waiting ghost.
... I couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Po is actually strange and pitiful, since there is the underworld, she has been preparing a decoction for the ghosts of the past to forget her previous life by the bridge, and I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, I saw her when she was the appearance of this vicissitudes of life, it is rumored that Meng Po was also a beauty in the underworld, but I don't know how many years ago.
Perhaps hundreds of thousands of years are too long, so long that a woman can not care about her appearance at all, let her face be engraved by the years, and no longer use spiritual power to bless her.
I hugged the wine jar, with a flattering smile, leaned over, scooped the soup into the bowl for Meng Po, and said, "Meng Po, I really have something, when I finish discussing with the ghost Ji, I will come back to accompany you for a few days, don't you be angry?"
"Is that true?"
Meng Po turned her head and looked at me.
"Of course, how could I lie to you?"
"Alright then, you go get busy first. ”
Meng Po pulled away her smiling face, from yin to sunny, and her face changed too quickly in an instant, I always felt that I was teased again......
"Okay, okay, you can go quickly, finish it early, and come to accompany my old woman earlier. ”
Sure enough, I was teased.
Leaving Meng Po, I went straight to the residence of the ghost queen.
In the underworld, although it is also a gorgeous palace, how can it reach the fairy world? From the Nine Heavenly Emperor Ji to the ghost queen of the underworld, I don't know if she will have a gap in her heart, this gloomy ghost realm, if she has nothing to worry about, how can she not leave for a thousand years? But the person who is concerned about it does not appreciate it at all...
Sometimes I really don't think the ghost is worthy, but I am not qualified to scold her, how can an outsider understand the feelings of a person who is deeply trapped in the situation? She has never regretted it, just like I have never given up, so I can only make her worthless, all she can do is feel sorry for me... Just comfort each other.
"Onihime?"
When I entered the temple and had not yet stepped into the inner room, I smelled the smell of wine, so I covered my nose, pushed the door open, and walked in.
The ghost queen was lying on her back on the chaise longue, three thousand green silks scattered at will, white silk draped over her body, her lips were pale, her eyes were chaotic, her cheeks were flushed, and she was confused.
I frowned, placed the jar of wine on the table, and found a thicker coat to cover her.
"You're here..."
Her eyes were misty, and her palm-sized face seemed to be thinner again.
I nodded, snatched the wine jar from her hand, and said, "You drank too much, don't drink any more, rest for a while." ”
"I didn't... Didn't drink too much, Tywu, did you bring good wine? It must have been stolen from Si Ming. ”
Hearing this, my old face turned red, and I quibbled: "This is not called stealing, but just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, if Si Ming knows that I am giving you wine, he will definitely be too late to be happy!"
"Really?" Onihime muttered, laughing at herself, and beckoned to me, "Come, Diwu, lie down with me for a while." ”
The chaise longue is big enough to accommodate two people.
I did as I was told, lying beside her.
"Diwu, why are you here?"
"Seeing that you haven't written to me for a long time, I'll take a look. ”
Ghost Ji is one of the first of my few friends to know, at that time I just came out of Buzhou Mountain, a mind to find the three things that can save Xin Mo, one of which is the soul lamp, I went straight to the underworld, back then, just like the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, I thought that the underworld was just a little more gloomy, and I didn't feel so terrible.
If it hadn't been for the ghost queen who pulled me in time, I would have been bewitched by those resentful spirits and fell into the eighteenth layer of hell......
Then I stayed in the underworld for a while, and told the ghost queen about the future, at that time, Yin Shu happened to be reincarnated in the mortal world, and the soul gathering lamp could not be found for a while, so I left, but I have been in touch with the ghost queen......
Now that a thousand years have passed, she and I have long since become friends of life and death, and I don't miss them often, but I do miss them occasionally.
"Tiwu, he's back. ”
Onihime suddenly hugged me, buried her head in my neck, a drop of cool liquid slipped through my neck, I shivered, helpless, for the first time in more than a thousand years, Onihime showed weakness in front of me, that tear, as if shattering her calm surface, the bitter pain that gushed out infected me, I was at a loss.
I stiffened my hand and stroked her back, saying, "Haven't you been expecting him to come back?"
"But... He hadn't looked at me once, Tiwu, a thousand years, he still didn't want to look at me, I knew I was impulsive at that time, but I had already apologized, I had atoned for a thousand years, why did he still refuse to let go of himself, why didn't he let me go? That woman, so much to him?"
This is the first time that Onihime has told me about her, and it's not that I'm not curious, but if that old scar, torn and making her bloody, painful, then I'd rather not know anything.
