Chapter 293: Straight to the Underworld
My intuition told me that this ferryman must have an unknown story with Meng Po, but if the person concerned didn't say it, I couldn't continue to ask questions, so I could only politely say goodbye and turn away.
Behind him, the ferryman sang loudly, but not many passers-by looked back, as if they were all accustomed to the ferryman's cold and sad voice.
I've been to this place before, and I still remember the direction of the road.
When I reached the door, two ghosts in black suits stood solemnly in the doorway, holding two large knives in their hands.
I heard that since I was taken to the steamer hell by those few negligent ghosts last time, the black impermanence has strictly rectified the atmosphere of the underworld, and once any ghosts are found to be negligent in their duties, they will fall directly into hell and never be reborn.
As soon as I took a step forward, the two demons shot at me with eyes like sharp arrows.
"Who are you, and do you have any appointments for Yinji?"
I was just about to speak, but a man in a black coat in Commander Yin hurriedly ran over, and when I looked, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Lord Bai Wuchang, why are you here?"
"Dabao."
I smiled faintly and said hello.
Dabao is a ghost cha I knew in the village, and he was a recorder in Commander Yin, but I heard that he had been in the underworld for hundreds of years, and he had seen my past life.
"I came to look for Black Impermanence, and I heard that he was Commander Yin."
Dabao's face became a little embarrassed: "Hei Ye is a little busy today, otherwise you should come another day." ”
deliberately didn't see me, and everyone understands what the reason is.
My face suddenly pulled down, and I took out the evil sword in my hand: "Then what if I want to see him no matter what happens today?" ”
The two ghosts' eyes widened when they heard Dabao call my name, but now they saw me take out my weapon, and immediately looked at me with a wary look.
Dabao sighed: "Forget it, you go in, Lord Hei Impermanence guessed that you would be like this." ”
I was happy with a smile on my face, if only I had been allowed to go in.
Hurriedly stepped into Commander Yin, but I could still hear the sound of Dabao chatting with those two ghosts behind me.
"Dabao, isn't Lord Bai Impermanence not in the underworld, why do you call him ......?"
"That person is the reincarnation of Lord Bai Impermanence, and the relationship with the black master is extraordinary, remember, as long as he comes in the future, just let him go, don't ask more about the rest."
The two ghosts were silent for a while, and then finally answered.
As for the rest of the conversation, I didn't really listen to it because I had gone too far.
Black Impermanence generally likes to be in his own office, I walked around in the Yin Commander before I found Black Impermanence's office, I knocked on the door, and only after getting the answer from the people inside, I opened the door and walked in.
He was sitting in the office and looking down to review the materials, without raising his head: "Sit down." ”
I didn't move: "You promised to help Jiu Ye increase his life span by ten years, why is his life still so short." ”
Hei Wuchang looked up at me and put down the pen in his hand: "I admit it, this is my mistake, Wen Jiuye's Taoism is profound, he has lived for more than a hundred years, and not to increase his life expectancy is what I decided after many considerations, but I promise you, if he is not willing to be reincarnated, in the underworld, I will definitely find a good errand for him, if he is willing to be reincarnated, in the next life, I will make him rich and rich." ”
"But I don't want Wen Jiuye to die!"
What I want is not how good the welfare of the ninth master will be after his death, I just hope that the ninth master can be behind me, so that I can honor him well, and now I promised him to take him to a lot of fun places and eat a lot of delicious things.
"Do you really want Wen Jiuye to continue to live?"
He looked at me seriously with dark eyes, and there was darkness in his eyes, and even I could see my annoyed look clearly, I don't know why, I hesitated a little when I saw his appearance.
Black Impermanence got up and walked up to me, covered my eyes with his hand, and then whispered in my ear, "Close your eyes." ”
Before I could react, my body was the first to react and closed my eyes.
At that moment, a picture appeared in front of my eyes, in the room of the ninth master, the ninth master was out of breath, Liu Ruoxue and I were wearing wedding dresses, and the guests in the room were hiding their faces and crying.
Suddenly, the ninth master lived, and all of us cheered and rejoiced.
But soon, we found out that although the ninth master was alive, he couldn't move his whole body, only his eyeballs could move, and even some delicious food could not be swallowed, he could only live on the nutrient solution of the hospital, and he couldn't communicate with us, so he could only rely on his eyes.
Countless nights, the ninth master can only wash his face with tears, the welfare house is very busy, there are villagers in the village every day looking for me, not long, Hu Xin'er broke the village with the plague god, the plague entered the village in a big way, half of the village people died, and the ninth master could only lie on the bed with his eyes open, bite the quilt and commit suicide, and that time was exactly ten years.
Eventually, all I heard was the cries of the villagers.
Black Impermanence took his hand off my eyes.
I opened my eyes and looked at him in disbelief, my voice trembling slightly: "What is this?" ”
"If you insist on going your own way and hope that we will give Wen Jiuye another ten years of life, then the scene you just saw is the final end, you understand."
I honestly shook my head: "I don't believe it. ”
"You can not believe it, as long as you insist, I can also help Wen Jiuye to increase his life, but you have to bear all the consequences." With that, he returned to his seat and took out a thick notebook from the drawer, and on the cover of the notebook was written three big words: "Book of Life and Death".
He looked at me, as if waiting for my decision, and seeing that I was thinking about it, he added lukewarmly: "Xiaobai, you know, I have never lied to you." ”
This little white, my heart softened in an instant.
With a trembling body, I walked up to him, sat down on the couch, and rubbed my face a little tiredly.
The picture just now also told me another thing, if I forcibly continue my life, then the remaining ten years of the Ninth Master will be spent in life rather than death.
I couldn't speak, I couldn't eat, I couldn't walk, I could only watch the loss of time with my eyes open.
Indeed, Black Impermanence has never deceived me, except for this matter of the Ninth Master.
"Thank you." I got up from the couch and felt my eyes ache, but tears didn't flow.
As if expected, the black impermanence's eyes did not change, but silently put the book of life and death in the drawer: "Pay attention to the enchantment of the village." ”
I nodded, the underworld does not allow ghosts to interfere in human affairs, to prevent the order of the underworld, and it is interesting that Black Impermanence can tell me these things.
The body was sore and weak, I floated out of the black and impermanent office, just happened to meet Dabao holding the information in his hand, Dabao saw me, the expression on his face was a little strange, he walked in front of me, seemed to have a lot of things to say to me, but in the end, just patted me on the shoulder: "Come on." ”
Neuropathy!
I was now immersed in my own grief, looked at him helplessly, and turned away.
Standing in Lethe and waiting for the boat, I saw a young and beautiful woman sitting on a stone pier next to the river, drinking tea, looking at Lethe, I immediately recognized who this woman was, this is not Meng Po.
Meng Po seemed to feel my gaze and turned her head to look at me with a gentle smile on her face.
"Long time no see."
I naturally knew that she was greeting me from my past life, but I still nodded politely.
"The plague god, one of the ten fierce gods, is good at spreading viruses in the human world."
I paused for a moment and looked at Meng Po, was he talking to me? Because I wasn't sure, I didn't dare to talk.
Meng Po suddenly stood up, took out a gourd from her arms and handed it to me: "Meng Po soup can forget the past and future generations, and it can also cure all kinds of diseases, and give it to you, otherwise, I will be busy with this underworld." ”
"Thank you."
She smiled even brighter, put her index finger next to her lips, and winked mischievously: "Don't tell anyone." ”
He nodded vigorously.
On the Lethe River, the ferryman was singing and swimming towards me, and Meng Po glanced at the Lethe River, waved her hand to me, and floated away.
With the gourd in my hand, I hid him in my arms, and the ferryman's boat docked later, so I hurriedly paid, got on the boat, found a place and sat down.
"How's it going, is it settled?"
I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "Destiny cannot be violated. ”
Suddenly, there is a feeling that this destiny is like a wayward child, as long as you don't obey his will, he may not know how to retaliate against you.
I can see that my mood is unusually heavy now, the ferryman didn't say anything more, and he didn't sing anymore, the whole Lethe was quiet as if he was dead, and the black scenery around me sank to the bottom like my heart.
I floated back to the welfare home, and when the soul returned to my body, I touched my pocket, which was the Meng Po soup that Meng Po gave me.
Meng Po soup can forget the past and future generations, and can also treat all kinds of diseases, does this mean that even if there is a plague in the village, this soup can save everyone's life, but how should it be used at such a point?
When I opened the gourd, I smelled the inside, but I didn't feel anything.
There was a knock at the door, who was looking for me at night?
I got up to open the door, and I was a little embarrassed to see someone coming......
