133 A Narrative of the Underworld
Xiao Ling was puzzled, looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression, and asked, "You are really strange...... Since they are all heinous, how can you still laugh? β
Kaede raised his eyebrows, as if he had seen his audience, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Yiqing immediately pulled Xiao Lingran back.
His expression became serious again after a while, not caring about Yiqing's posture of protecting the calf. Lowering his voice, he said with a slight sense of mystery: "Do you really think that there are so many evil ghosts and ghosts in the underworld? β
Xiao Lingran looked around, it was strange that he didn't see a ghost working here today, probably because the Hades King knew that the master was coming......
She shook her head and said without hesitation: "I don't know, you tell me why." β
Kaede was even happier when he saw that she was interested in listening, and he continued: "Because most of the ghosts in the underworld are because of the guy who used to be locked up in this layer, he ......"
"Kaede! You kid, why did you bring people to me now? Are you going out to play again!? Before Kaede's story could be finished, it was interrupted by an angry scolding voice.
As soon as Kaede heard this familiar voice, he immediately changed his face, and he was smart and serious, and he smiled and grinned in seconds.
Xiao Lingran: "This guy changes his face really quickly......"
"Yo, isn't this our first gentle, virtuous, beautiful, generous, domineering, mighty, and resolute Lord Hades in the underworld? Why do you have time to come here? β
After a string of lines came down, Xiao Lingran concluded that he was used to being flamboyant.
However, the Hades King seemed to be very fond of this, and snorted coldly, but he couldn't stop the smile on his face: "You stinky boy, you know how to please me." β
Xiao Lingran was also very curious about this Hades King when he was told by Feng, and couldn't help but run over next to Yiqing, secretly poking his head to look at the Hades King.
Hades turned out to be a woman, first of all, Xiao Lingran was shocked, I didn't expect that it was a woman who managed such a terrifying place, and she really didn't let her eyebrows.
Secondly, Xiao Lingran originally thought that the person who managed this place should be similar to that Yama Wangye, with a fierce and vicious appearance, and a big beard on his face.
Even a woman should be some kind of dominatrix, looking terrifying...... But what she never expected was that this Hades was not only not a dominatrix, but also extremely beautiful.
It was the beauty of a fairy, and her plain clothes seemed out of place in this filthy and rancid place, as if the fairies of heaven had been forced to descend here.
"You ......" Hades seemed to feel the gaze of a small one, and Ye followed the line of sight, just opposite Xiao Lingran's eyes.
Xiao Lingran and her, you look at me, I look at you.
"Star, star......!" The woman burst into tears in the next second, and hurriedly walked over to Xiao Lingran.
Xiao Lingran panicked, thinking to herself how she knew that her nickname was Xing'er, and would she ...... No, it won't be that her yang life is exhausted, she is going to ask for her life!
She was so frightened that she immediately ran to the master's side, pitifully tugged at the master's sleeve, and cried: "Master save me, I don't want to die yet......"
The Hades King was a little excited, and wanted to step forward to grab Xiao Lingran, and his hands trembled and stretched out.
Xiao Lingran was scared to death, but fortunately, Yiqing stood in front of her.
"Hades......" Yiqing didn't say much, just gave the Hades King a look, and the man trembled and withdrew his hand.
"I understand, I understand......" she said, but I don't know why, Xiao Lingran always felt sour in her heart.
"You're a star?" The Hades looked at him, Xiao Lingran felt strange, familiar and unfamiliar, I don't know why.
But before Xiao Lingran could speak, the woman asked and answered herself.
"Yes...... You call Master Yiqing, you are the apprentice of the bastard, naturally you are a star, after all, this bastard ......" The Hades said there one bastard after another.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Finally, that bastard, isn't it...... That Yiqing couldn't help it.
"Oh, excuse me, ahem...... Alas, I suddenly had a little discomfort in my throat. Hades immediately clutched his throat and looked very pained.
Xiao Lingran looked around and asked curiously, "What kind of guy lives here, and he is locked with such a strong spell all around." β
At this time, Yiqing snorted coldly, "Isn't it your best brother in the world?" β
"Brother?" Xiao Lingran didn't react.
Yi Qing smiled a little sarcastically, and he asked, "I don't know which one is a big rebel, a guy who eats inside and out, and goes against her master for the sake of an unidentified little broken child......
Xiao Lingran suddenly remembered the guy "Xiao Ji Han". No, to be precise, it should be called him...... Brake ......
Yiqing, this guy is really poisonous, causing Xiao Ling's face to turn red.
"I ...... How do I know he's the ghost king who ran out of here? And ......" Xiao Ling swallowed his saliva, pretending to be righteous.
"I promise, when I met him, he was just a child, and he didn't do anything wrong or hurt anyone." Xiao Lingran raised three fingers, as if swearing.
"How did you know he wasn't?" Yiqing asked rhetorically, not forgetting to press her hand down.
"I ......" Xiao Lingran's momentum was instantly suppressed.
"He's not the one you see, poor street kid, he's the way he is because he's here."
Xiao Lingran looked at Yi Qing and pointed to the ground, "Is it because he broke through the seal here?" β
"That's right, I don't know how many people it took to catch him in the underworld." Hades' voice rang out.
"He killed a lot of people at that time, and the three generations have different identities, so we are looking for him." Hades said, with a light in his eyes.
"How many people have been killed before they are locked up in the least known place in the underworld...... You must know that those sinful souls above are already heinous, how bad is he......" Xiao Lingran thought to himself.
"I ...... Since we're going to capture the Ghost King, why don't you let me ......," Xiao Lingran said and looked at Yi Qing, "Guys, let's know about this person's past and present lives?" β
Hades looked at Xiao Lingran and didn't know what to say, she looked at Yiqing again, as if asking for help, but Yiqing nodded, Hades was a little hesitant, looking at Xiao Lingran's expression was a little weird.
"You come with me......" said Hades, holding out his hand.
Her hands looked slender and white, but there were already a lot of calluses on the backs of her hands.
Xiao Lingran hesitated for a moment, but still chose to take it. Then Hades took her to a pagoda like the one in the hands of King Tota Li.
"Come in with me." Hades said.
Inside were countless staircases leading to the top floor, and they kept walking and walking, and the sides were like bookcases, and the height was invisible.
Xiao Lingran looked at the bookcases on both sides, there were different countries and different eras on them, and the higher he went, the fewer books there were, and when he came to the top of Hades, he stopped.
From her left-hand side, she took a bronze book with the word "ζ‘brake" written on it.
"That's it......" Hades muttered to himself.
She opened the book and flipped through something, and finally turned to the part of the book in front of her, and she didn't know what was silently reading in her mouth, and a blue light flew out of the book and flowed into Xiao Lingran's mind.
The story begins, the first life-
"Ahem, ahem......" A slender figure slumped on the table by the window, with no color on his face, only hopelessness in life.
"Son, are you coughing again?" The voice of the woman on the bed came, and the man immediately ran to him.
"No, I'm afraid my mother heard it wrong, my son hasn't coughed for a long time." The man had a smile on his face, but it was more haggard.
It's late autumn, and it's about to go into winter. There is no firewood in the house, let alone coal, and there is no food to eat, so I am afraid that this winter will be tormented......
"Next spring, you're going to catch the exam." Mother looked out the window at the sunset and smiled.
The man replied softly, and helped his mother pull the thin quilt up.
"Mothers don't have to worry about their sons anymore, they still have to take care of their bodies first." The son said, turning to pour a cup of tea.
"Mother, drink some water......" he returned with tea, and his mother was already asleep.
ββ¦β¦β
I don't know when the decision was, but a few days later in the morning, the man went to a nearby mountain.
He carried a broken bamboo basket on his back, and in his hand was a book with a lot of herbs recorded on it, probably going to the mountains to find medicine for his mother.
"This medicine should cure my mother's cough." He looked at a page in the book, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his steps did not speed up.
In a place in the mountains, I vaguely saw the herbs in the book, clumps of them, there were a lot of them, and the man was so happy that he hurriedly stepped forward to pick them.
I just took it off and thought about it for a while.
"It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, and I don't know if I'm picking it right, or not...... Or I'll ...... first."
He thought about it, then picked up a herb and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and found that it was bitter, and he fainted before he had time to spit out his head.
It was ten o'clock in dusk, and he had slept for most of the day.
"Hmm......" The light cast in his eyes, and the yellow sunset still felt a little dazzling when he hit his eyes.
"You've finally woken up, it looks like my medicine is still working......"
Before the man could wake up, he heard the voice of the woman beside him. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was a dream.
"Okay, if you drink this medicine again, the poison in your body will be completely gone." A hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and the man skimmed over it, only to see the owner of the hand.
"Are you ......?" the man asked, looking at the good-looking woman in front of him.
"Don't think about it so much, drink the medicine quickly." The woman said.
Seeing that this person still didn't take the medicine, he was a little helpless.
