Chapter 604: The Inside of the Yellow Springs 4
After a meal, I looked at the time, it was already more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and what I had just said seemed to hope that I would not be in a hurry, and he could see that Wang Su had just mentioned the matter of the people of Huangquan, and I began to be anxious.
This meal is very simple, just some vegetables and the like, made by Wang Su himself, to the left, the place in the kitchen, very delicious.
"Go into the back room, let's go."
Wang Su said, stood up, I helped take the newly replaced tea leaves, and the teacup, and entered the room facing the entrance.
When I entered, I was amazed to see that on the wall opposite the entrance of the house, there was an oil lamp-like thing, which caught my attention because of its peculiar appearance, and the color of the flame was orange.
The oil lamp was pitch black, and it looked like a demon with a blue face and fangs, holding a small saucer in both hands, and half-kneeling on the ground.
On either side of the room, there were two rooms, and in the room, there was a small table woven of pillars, and several small bamboo stools, which were very empty and there was nothing else.
When I sat down, I was still looking at the wall, some weird oil lamps, orange glow, very soft, and good brightness, able to light up the room, and the whole room didn't see any windows or anything like that.
"Qingyuan ......" swallowed wine and reminded me, I hurriedly put away my doubtful eyes, looked at Wang Su, and he said with a smile.
"This is called the Hades Ghost Lamp, and it is something I use to continue my life."
I sighed, looked at Wang Su, and he explained.
"Me and the other nine guys were chosen for Yin Cao as the ten leads, so naturally we can't die when we don't find a successor."
I sighed, I always felt an indescribable feeling about this lamp.
"Okay, Xiao Zhang, let's go back to the topic before the meal, let me tell you a little bit about the story of the people of Huangquan."
I nodded and listened intently.
About 300 years ago, the world was relatively peaceful, and there were occasional wars at the border passes, but basically, in most areas, life was very comfortable, and the people of Huangquan were much more relaxed than now.
At that time, there was a man named Lan Yin, he had just taken over the mantle from his parents and began his journey of collecting his soul, at that time, the people of Huangquan were not as easy as they are now, although every month, the headquarters of Huangquan would give some money for eating and traveling, but most of the people in Huangquan, if the previous generation, did not run any main business, basically still lived a very hard life.
This person named Lan Yin, his ancestor opened a rice shop, and his life was not bad, his parents had completed their respective tasks, just waiting for Yang Shou to arrive, and then reported to Yin Cao.
And in order to prevent himself from being tortured after going to the underworld, Lan Yin's father handed over the mantle to Lan Yin when he was eighteen years old, so that he could finish collecting his soul early and begin to cultivate the next generation, and Lan Yin's marriage partner has been arranged, and he only needs to go through two years of training, and after 20, he can get married.
"Xiao Zhang, you know, why are we people in Huangquan so overwhelmed, even if we know, this is unreasonable, because after all, it is not a pleasant thing to be able to know the life and death of others, and to know your life and death, but we can only faithfully perform the task."
I shook my head, I had never thought about this, who would want to do such a tormenting thing.
"Why?"
"As long as you complete the task, after you die, wait for your son and daughter, and after the mission is over, you can be reincarnated, three lives as a human being, and you will definitely devote yourself to a good family."
I blinked, looking at Wang Su, I once went to the underworld, I have seen ghosts in hell, and I have been to three ways, looking at those ghosts who are constantly tortured in endless pain, this condition is very good, but immediately, I was a little helpless about such conditions.
No matter how good the conditions are, the torture suffered by the people of Huangquan, both physically and mentally, is superimposed on each other, and it is not something that ordinary people can bear at all.
"In this world, it is like this, joy, anger and sorrow, each has a head, you know? Xiao Zhang, a long time ago, the souls of the yang world were sent by ghosts, who came up in person and brought them back. ”
I nodded, in my memory of the Yellow Spring before, I had seen ghosts, walking on the Yellow Spring Road, constantly going back and forth.
"Because of the relationship between black and white, ghosts are in the yang world, no matter how powerful you are, there will be some time surprises in the end, so many times, ghosts miss the time after death, and those who die can easily turn into lonely ghosts, and even some people who are wronged can easily become powerful ghosts and harm people."
I nodded, it was true, even after the black and white impermanence came up, I said that there would be some trouble during the day.
"Because when a person comes up, he will definitely be controlled by the power of the yang world, so no matter how powerful you are in the yin, after you come up, you will become poor."
Wang Su said, swallowing wine and laughing.
"In other words, this is the origin of your people in Huangquan, Brother Wang, you didn't tell me before."
"Brother Swallowing Wine, in the past, I was just a kid running errands in Huangquan, who knows, but now I can't die, alas."
Wang Su continued.
After Huangquan began to take shape, the souls of the yang world, to a large extent, were all included in the Yin Cao, and there was no longer any need for ghosts to go back and forth to arrest people, but only when the person was in the first seven, he took the soul of the person and returned home, which greatly saved the trouble of the Yin Cao.
Then Wang Su talked about Lan Yin again.
At that time, Lan Yin's parents were only over 40 years old, and they were still running a rice shop, and he was like many people in Huangquan, who hated the matter of collecting souls, which was Lan Yin, when he was 19 years old, he took away the soul of his good friend, and then he resisted.
At that time, Lan Yin tried his best to use his authority to save his good friend's life, but he gave it to his parents on the spot, stopped it, and stopped it.
In the days that followed, Lan Yin seemed to be a different person, staying at home all day long, no matter how his parents persuaded him, but Lan Yin just didn't go to collect his soul, and he also tried to commit suicide, but to no avail, even if he hanged himself, after holding his breath, he would come back to life in a few hours.
After jumping into the water, after suffocation, when he woke up, he would rush to the river, even if he stabbed his heart with a knife, still, the blood that flowed would flow back into his body, and the wound would disappear, and even he jumped into the fire pit and endured the pain of burning his body, but after waking up, in addition to the clothes on his body, he was burned, and his body was still as good as ever.
From the persuasion of his parents at the beginning, to the scolding and scolding later, they didn't care about him, and even if he committed suicide, he wouldn't stop it, Lan Yin basically couldn't listen to any reason.
The person who died was Lan Yin's playmate who had been together since he was very young, and he was considered an iron buddy, and his departure made Lan Yin obviously know, but he couldn't stop it, with this sad and angry mood, Lan Yin completely fell and collapsed.
The marriage originally arranged for Lan Yin has expired, and he has been squatting at home for more than a year, and Lan Yin has not left the house, except for getting up every day and reading books, he is sleeping.
After Lan Yin's parents reported their son's situation to the people of Huangquan, in desperation, the people of Huangquan could only let Lan Yin's marriage partner go to Lan Yin's house.
A woman named Mo Yu is quite beautiful, she received a lot of souls as soon as she went, she had heard rumors about Lan Yin, and she was more curious about him.
After a short time together, the innocent and lively Mo Yu gradually opened the door of Lan Yin's heart, and Lan Yin also found that he seemed to be able to accept this girl.
"When you have a woman, you forget about your brother."
Swallowing wine and jokingly, I showed a smile, maybe for Na Lanyin, he needs such a person who can regain his confidence and be able to move forward.
"Alas, it's a pity that the girl named Mo Yu has someone she likes, and the other party is not from Huangquan."
I sighed, blinked, looked at Wang Su, and only felt that Lan Yin might be hurt a second time.
However, Lan Yin, as I thought, after clearly knowing this fact, resolutely took Mo Yu to find the person she liked, without the slightest hesitation.
Because the people of Huangquan have a criterion that is better than their lives, they cannot be touched, and marrying someone who is not Huangquan is one.
The person Mo Yu likes is just an ordinary scholar who is rushing to take the exam, and her family background is relatively peaceful, she likes it, but she has never dared to say it, and the scholar seems to like Mo Yu more, and it belongs to the two loves.
Lan Yin took Mo Yu back to the town where Mo Yu was located, and found the scholar in a smith's shop.
But Mo Yu shook his head, because the scholar felt that he was not worthy of Mo Yu, so he categorically did not dare to propose marriage, and the situation of Mo Yu's family can be regarded as a rich family.
"Well, I happened to be there at the time."
Wang Su said, sighing very much.
"So, you've seen something, and you're going to stop it."
Swallowing wine, Wang Su nodded.
"At that time, it was all my fault, beating the mandarin ducks, alas."
At that time, Wang Su was also in the place where Mo Yu was, as the person who collected the soul, he felt it after the two of them went back, and for Mo Yu's affairs, in the past few years, Wang Su has seen it in his eyes, he is a person who attaches great importance to the rules, and he can only tell Mo Yu's parents about all this.
Lan Yin and Mo Yu didn't know, Wang Su already knew what they wanted to do, Lan Yin took the initiative to let the scholar and Mo Yu get close, and on the way back to the scholar, staged a good show, light Mo Yu, and the scholar, who is also a bloody person, made a decisive move, and after Lan Yin beat him, he ran away because of the arrival.
I thought that things would be as Lan Yin knew, and the scholar and Mo Yu understood each other's intentions, but after he left, Mo Yu was imprisoned.
