Chapter 62: The Ghost King's Period
Ying Ning stood at the door of the main hall and waited for a while, only to see the ghost who went in to report slowly come out. He made a gesture of invitation to Ying Ning, "Lord Hades, please." ”
The boy led Yingning into the hall, and there was a couch in the center of the hall, and a long black veil hung in front of the couch. Through the black veil, you can vaguely see a figure leaning on the couch, thinking that this is the king of Hades.
The boy whispered to the Hades on the couch: "Lord Hades, Bai Yingning has arrived." ”
The Hades King waved his hand at the boy and said, "You wait outside the hall first, and I will say a few words to Yingning." ”
The boy was ordered to slowly withdraw, and Yingning stood there, not knowing what to do. The Hades King sat on a high place, looked at Yingning condescendingly, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "Bai Yingning, although you are an immortal in the Heavenly Palace, since you have arrived in the underworld, it is the Emperor of Heaven who wants you to think about it. Therefore, you must also obey Me completely, and you must not act as recklessly as you do in the heavenly realm. What I can give you now is the position of a ghost, the grade is not high, it is not as good as you in the Xuannu Palace, I don't know what you think? ”
Ying Ning couldn't see the face of the Hades King, and she was a little kind when she heard him speak. actually asked her opinion, she is guilty at the moment, and she has come here to think about it, where can she pick and choose.
She replied in a proper manner, "It's all up to Lord Hades. ”
The Hades seemed to be extremely satisfied with her attitude, and explained again: "Although the underworld is not as good as the heavenly realm, it also has its own rules. Even if you're a newcomer, you'll naturally learn the rules here. Go first to your room and rest, and the two boys outside the door will give you a message to hear from you. As for learning the rules, I'll arrange it for you. After saying that, he called the two boys outside the door to come in and explained them in detail.
The two boys took her and left, and the place where she lived was not far from the palace of the king of Hades. It's just that the house is much worse than Hades's, and there are only two houses, which are a little smaller, but fortunately, the decoration inside is quite tidy. Everything was available, and on the table was the parcel she had brought.
She sent the two boys away and left her room to clean up. She didn't have much stuff either, just a change of clothes. There are also several porcelain jars under the clothes, which contain incense powder among the drunken flowers. She also learned it from Yejun not long ago, but she added pear blossoms to it. She has always liked pear blossoms, and adding them to the drunken flower room adds a faint fragrance.
She put incense powder in the incense burner, and once it was lit, the room was filled with fragrance. She was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the Xuannu Palace in the heavenly realm, lighting incense and drinking tea, I don't know how comfortable it was.
She cupped her cheeks and sighed softly, not knowing how long she could stay here. The underworld was dark and dull, and there was a gloomy and rotten aura everywhere, which was incomparable to the heavenly realm with its brilliant golden light every day. Even if she had made up her mind, she didn't like this underworld at all.
She was listlessly stunned when there was a soft knock at the door. She thought it must be the little boy who came, and slowly got up and opened the door.
There was a young man standing outside the door, Yingning had seen many handsome and dashing and suave immortals in the heavenly realm. But this one was unlike anything she had ever seen, with a tall and fair face, only a little red on his lips. Her eyes, in particular, were clear and clear, like the brightest stars she had ever seen in the heavenly realm.
There seemed to be a gust of fresh wind that gently blew into Yingning's heart. She looked stupid, stunned, she understood a little at the moment what it meant to be ten thousand years at a glance. The man coughed lightly a few times, and Ying Ning came to his senses in an instant.
She raised her good-looking eyebrows and smiled, "Is Childe looking for me?" ”
Zhong Wuqi glanced at her, then lowered his eyes again, and said in a deep voice: "In the Lower Ghost King Zhong Wuqi period, I came to teach the girl to learn the rules of the underworld on the orders of the Hades King. ”
Ying Ning looked at Zhong Wuqi carefully, he was dressed in black, and his skin was better than snow, but he had a heroic masculinity in him. She stared at him seriously and said, "You are the Ghost King?" I haven't heard of it. Since you're going to teach me the rules, come in and teach me. As she spoke, she turned to one side and gave Zhong Wuqi a place for one person.
Zhong Wuqi didn't move, but said lightly: "The girl will follow me around the underworld first and familiarize yourself with the environment." ”
Ying Ning nodded happily, she couldn't be happiest to have such a fair-skinned and beautiful son with her. Originally, she thought that the underworld was full of ugly-looking ghosts, but she didn't expect that there would be such a handsome ghost king, and she suddenly felt that it was worth the trip. The dejected soul just now seemed to disappear in an instant.
Zhong Wuqi first took her around, and the streets of the underworld were deserted, and there was a smell of slaughter everywhere. No wonder they don't want to come to this underworld, the atmosphere is too depressing. Even this ghost king was cold and indifferent, and he didn't say a few words to her along the way.
Ying Ning was most afraid of such an embarrassing atmosphere, and she would find some questions to ask from time to time: "Why is Lord Hades hiding behind the curtain, is there something wrong with his appearance?" ”
Zhong Wuqi glanced back at her and said lightly: "The first rule of the underworld, don't talk about the Hades Lord behind your back. ”
Ying Ning quietly stuck out her tongue, it was so bad that she said the wrong thing as soon as she opened her mouth. She closed her mouth and remained silent, and after a while she couldn't help but ask, "Why is there no one on this street?" No, why aren't there any ghosts? ”
Zhong Wuqi glanced at her again and said, "This place is in the middle of nowhere, and the most lively place is next to the Nai He Bridge." ”
Ying Ning Ji passed the Nai He Bridge when she just came over, and she was still thinking about meeting Meng Po? Ying Ning suddenly tugged at Zhong Wuqi's sleeve and said with a smile: "We might as well go there, I have heard a lot of stories about the Lechuan River and the Nai He Bridge in the Heavenly Realm, and I am really curious about it." ”
Zhong Wuqi looked at the fingers pulling at his sleeves, frowned and pulled out. Although Yingning had an empty hand, he didn't care much. She blinked her eyes and stared at Zhong Wuqi very sincerely, he was finally helpless, and said faintly: "Then let's go, it's just that everyone has their own duties, and you don't have a lot of talk when you get there." ”
Ying Ning was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, is this because she talks too much? Okay, well, from this moment on, she won't say a word of nonsense.
She followed Zhong Wuqi to the Lechuan River, and when she first came over, she didn't take a closer look. On the riverside, there were a large number of fiery red and brilliant flowers on the other side, swaying in the soft breeze.
Yingning happily ran to the flowers on the other side, this flower was really bright and beautiful. She remembered that Aunt Xuannu had ordered her to plant a flower on the other side, but it only grew and did not bloom. She was annoyed for a long time, and in the end, although the red silk had transformed a plant for her, she already felt shocked, and she never wanted to see such a large area, such a plant was simply incomparable.
She was reaching out to fold a plant, when a sudden angry shout suddenly came from behind her: "Bold, where are you a little ghost, you dare to break my other side flower?" ”
Ying Ning was stunned by this loud shout, she turned around in a panic, only to see a young boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, crossed his waist, glaring at her angrily.
"Who are you? Why fold my flowers? "The little boy is not very tall, but he speaks with a bit of majesty.
Yingning jumped out of the flowers, stood in front of the boy, and touched his head: "This is the flower you planted?" It's really good-looking, I saw that I really liked it, so I thought about picking one, but I didn't expect to make you unhappy, I just don't pick it. ”
The boy looked at her in disbelief, and still guarded her as a thief. He said coldly: "Where are you a little ghost who doesn't know the rules?" Don't you know that no one can touch this flower without the order of Hades? ”
Ying Ning sighed and said, "I'm not a little ghost, I'm an immortal, and I'm from the Heavenly Palace." ”
The boy suddenly sneered and said with great disdain: "Immortals? Haha, it's ridiculous, there are only lonely souls and wild ghosts in the underworld, where do the gods come from? ”
Yingning is helpless, why is she still despised? She didn't know how to explain it clearly, Zhong Wuqi came out of nowhere, and she didn't even pay attention to where he had just gone.
I said to the little boy: "Ziling, this girl is indeed an immortal in the heavenly realm, and she has come to the underworld to practice. Today has just arrived, and many rules are still not understood, and I hope that the child will not worry about her. ”
Ziling squinted at her, still a little puzzled in his eyes: "Are you really a fairy?" ”
Ying Ning nodded hurriedly, Ziling pouted and said, "It's not appropriate for a good immortal, what are you doing in the underworld?" ”
Ying Ning thought to herself, she didn't want to come either, okay? If she hadn't offended the Heavenly Emperor, she would still be in the Heavenly Realm at the moment.
Ziling said again: "Since you are a newcomer, I won't care about it this time, but you have to remember not to touch my flowers casually in the future." Otherwise, I will throw you into the water of this Lechuan River, and let you taste the pain of peeling and peeling your bones. ”
Oh, why is this little boy so arrogant, she is also a fairy. It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, if she is in the heavenly realm, she has to fight with him, and see who throws whom into the Lechuan River at the end.
She was angry, but Zhong Wuqi said coldly behind her: "Teach you another rule, don't mess with things that don't belong to you in the underworld." ”
Ying Ning glanced at him and said dejectedly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The imps here are too difficult to get along with, and I didn't even do anything, so I was taught a lesson. She sighed faintly, wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "How can I live for such a long time in the future." ”
Zhong Wuqi stood beside her with his hands behind his back, his eyes became softer, not as cold as before, and whispered in her ear: "If you follow the rules, you will not be bullied." Ziling is usually lively and noisy, but when he is stained with this flower, he becomes a little serious. Once, this flower on the other side was set on fire by a ghost, and the Hades blamed him for his poor management, so he punished him severely. Since then, he will care about the flowers on the other side and resolutely not allow others to move. ”
It turned out that this was the case, and it was no wonder that the little boy had a very bad attitude towards her. Originally, she was wrong, hey, I can only see him next time and admit my mistake.
Zhong Wuqi took her to Wangxiangtai again, which was Meng Po's territory. Zhong Wuqi instructed again: "When the girl gets there, don't talk nonsense, don't move, Meng Po is not easy to mess with." ”
Yingning didn't care if Meng Po was easy to mess with, but Zhong Wuqi always called her girl, which made her unhappy. She asked softly behind his back, "Do you know my name?" ”
Zhong Wuqi suddenly stopped, and Yingning hit his hard and sturdy back headlong. She stroked her forehead and let out a whoop. Zhong Wuqi looked back at her, and Ying Ning was also looking up, staring at him intently.
Zhong Wuqi was inexplicably nervous, and only after a long time did he ask, "What is the girl's name?" ”
Ying Ning pouted and complained: "After a long time, you don't even know my surname." ”
Zhong Wuqi's face turned slightly red, and he explained: "The Hades King seems to have told me, I just ......"
"You just forgot, didn't you? Then I'll tell you again, my name is Bai Yingning, a descendant of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, living in the Xuannu Palace, I am 3,000 years old this year, do you remember everything? ”
Zhong Wuqi nodded slightly, indicating that he remembered. Ying Ning didn't follow and continued: "Then you call my name once. ”
Zhong Wu held back for a long time before squeezing out a white girl from between his teeth. Ying Ning was helpless, knowing that he was thin-skinned, she didn't force him, so she went with him.
