Chapter 53: The Soul Bell (Part 1)
"Sister, you're joking, aren't you?!"
My face was stiff and my expression was twitching, but my eyes were intensely focused on her.
The mortals of the yang realm and the female ghost officials of the netherworld are combined...... How can it be?!!
I don't know, Sister Zhen's reaction to me seemed to be expected, and she replied with a faint expression: "According to your performance, Lao Cui and Yan Jun have not told you, and it is true, after all, this is a big stain in the underworld, how can the two rulers of the underworld easily leak this secret." ”
"Sister, you just said that Zhongyuan made a big mistake that day more than two hundred years ago, and then only a few years later, he went to find Yan Jun with a day and night wandering spirit, which means that at that time...... You and the ...... of the human being"
I have to speculate, and I can't be sure.
Sister Zhen nodded and said, "It was that time." ”
What a shocking secret!!
I just felt as if my kneeling legs had been electrocuted, and my whole body was numb.
"If it weren't for my experience, how could Lord Zhong be so harsh in judging you, I think it's also for fear that you will repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
"Lord Zhong also knows?!"
"Of course. ”
Sister Zhen said: "If it weren't for him to ensure that my two sons were naturalized, I am afraid that they would also become lonely ghosts in the underworld, just like ......."
It's like with you.
Sister Zhen didn't say this, and I knew it.
But what I can't imagine is that it is not Cui Jue's good old man who strives to ensure that he is naturalized day and night, but Zhong Kui, who has always been known for his cold-blooded ruthlessness!
That No. 1 law enforcement captain of the underworld can actually violate the iron law of law enforcement for Zhen Yilian and be extrajudicially gracious?
On the other side, Sister Zhen seemed to see my thoughts, and shook her head with a smile on the corner of her lips.
"Don't speculate, although Zhong Kui and Cui Jue are almost the same in status, seniority and age, the three of us are pure comrades, and nothing else. ”
Ahem.
I was pierced in my mind, a moment of embarrassment flashed on my face, I cleared my throat and asked, "Sister, I originally heard Lao Cui say that that mortal was secretly sent back to the world by you to return to the yang, so what happened later? Did he come to you again?"
"If he wants to come to me, I'm afraid he won't be able to break into this underworld. ”
Sister Zhen smiled bitterly: "I don't know if he came to me, it's just ...... In the past few hundred years, I have been paying attention to the movements on the other side of the reincarnation pool, and I have not seen him reincarnate. ”
"What do you mean...... He's not dead?!!!"
How is this possible!
A mortal would have to live to be two or three hundred years old, right? This kind of lifespan is not an ordinary person, it is ginseng essence!
"I don't know. ”
Sister Zhen continued: "Although I haven't seen him again for hundreds of years, his appearance lingers in my mind, as if as soon as I close my eyes, I can recall his face carefully, as if I only saw him yesterday. ”
"Oh, what does it look like?" I couldn't help but wonder.
Sister Zhen smiled lightly, and there was a hint of shyness between her eyebrows.
"He was tall and personable, standing like a jade tree, and he spoke slowly and logically, but he was always intoxicated by his voice, and when I first met him, he always wore a black hat, as if he did not like to let others see his eyes. ”
"But ......" Sister Zhen talked about her sweetheart, and her whole body seemed to exude a gentle and beautiful halo: "In fact, his eyes are very deep and charming, and I seem to be able to see all the beauties of the world in such eyes." ”
I listened to her description, and I didn't feel that I was making up for the appearance of that man, but for some reason, no matter how I imagined it according to Sister Zhen's words, the outline that appeared in my mind was always one person-Ye Dingxi!
That guy didn't even notify me when he set up camp in my head!
Sister Zhen couldn't help but smile when she saw me secretly annoyed: "Leaning eastward, but you think of your sweetheart?"
Belch?!
In a panic, I flipped the teacup over, and sprinkled a piece of reddish-brown tea soup.
"This, I'm sorry, sister, I stained your place......"
I know that Zhen Yilian is a female ghost official who pays great attention to cleanliness, according to the terminology of the modern world, it is cleanliness.
Sister Zhen smiled and said that it was okay, turned around and took a handkerchief to carefully wipe the tea clean, and there was no trace left on the shiny desktop.
When she came back again, she could hear her ask: "Donglean's sweetheart, but is Master Cui Jue Cui?"
Burst......
Thankfully I didn't drink tea.
I tugged at the corners of my mouth and shook my head in embarrassment: "Where did my sister hear the rumors? ”
"Cui Jue is now Yan Jun's right-hand man, who dares to discuss his privacy, I just watched that he has taken special care of you for hundreds of years, thinking that if you can appreciate his goodness, you will naturally deliver your sincerity. ”
When Sister Zhen said this, I always had a delusion.
vaguely felt that he was not interested in Lao Cui now because he couldn't appreciate his goodness, in other words...... I'm a heartless female ghost!
However, Sister Zhen is right.
Lao Cui is really good to me, and even sometimes when I get into trouble and he takes care of the aftermath for me, I feel that I really shouldn't be.
But what I think is good has never had anything to do with love.
When I explained this idea to Sister Zhen carefully, she neither recognized nor refuted it, but only slowly drank the tea in her hand before continuing the topic.
"It would be nice if you could get married to Master Cui. ”
Sister Zhen said: "As long as you don't follow my sister's example, it's good to pay a true heart to mortals by mistake." ”
Wrong payment?!
Didn't she still talk about missing that mortal man?
"Sister, are you already disappointed in him?" I unconsciously asked what was on my mind.
Sister Zhen was silent at first, and then said word by word very slowly: "If there is a chance, I will only know when we see each other." ”
This is Zhen Yilian's heart knot.
I finally know why she has been depressed recently, in fact, it should not only be recently, every year around the middle of the Yuan, and even in the past few hundred years, Sister Zhen has never really let go of that human man for a moment.
Otherwise, how could she always keep an eye on the movements of the reincarnation pool?
Before leaving, Sister Zhen sent me outside the door, and I walked side by side with her, shuttling between the flowers on the other side.
"Sister, when you fell in love with that mortal man, did you give each other any love tokens?" I asked as if I was casual about it.
Sister Zhen stopped and stood in the rippling sea of flowers, the whole ghost seemed to merge with the fiery red flower waves, and the exquisite smile was like a water drop that was about to dissipate at any time, reflecting the red halo of the flower.
After a long time, I heard her speak slowly.
"It's a soul bell. ”
