Chapter 66: Ghost Messenger Acha
On the second day, Ying Ning woke up in a room of candles, which was extremely bad in the underworld. Day or night, there is always no light. The dim candlelight made her blind.
She was stunned on the bed for a long time. She was probably very drunk, and she was in a trance about yesterday's events. The incense in the censer had been burned, and there was still a little incense left in the room.
A boy knocked on the door and came in, saying that the Ghost King had been here early in the morning. Ying Ning hurriedly jumped off the bed barefoot, looked out the door and said, "Is he still there?" ”
The boy replied, "When the adults saw that the fairy was sleeping deeply, they did not call to disturb him." Say that the fairy wakes up, and then tell the fairy that it's not too late. ”
Ying Ning was deflated, sat down on the bed in despair, and muttered, "You should have woken me up." She sighed faintly and asked, "What did he say?" ”
The boy thought for a moment, "The lord said that he has business to do, and the fairy doesn't need to learn the rules today, but can go around the underworld by himself." ”
Ying Ning waved her hand after hearing this, signaling that she knew. Then the boy said, "My lord also said that no one or any thing a fairy should come across, and he should not talk nonsense, nor act rashly. ”
Ying Ning lay back on the bed and said, "I know, you go out, you don't have to stay here." ”
The boy retreated, and Yingning lay on the bed for a long time, then dressed up and went to the underworld. There were still groups of ghosts patrolling the streets, and a few of them seemed to have seen them, pointing at her and not knowing what to say. Probably they were curious about themselves, she thought. But no matter how curious they are, she doesn't like it when they point out behind her back. It's just that she has just come to the underworld, and she always remembers the teachings of the Xuannu, and it is not easy to deal with them. She just didn't see it, and staggered to the lookout platform.
There were still people coming and going on the lookout platform, and a group of ghosts gathered in front of the cauldron in a long line. Meng Po stared at them and drank the soup, and sent them back to the path of reincarnation one by one.
When Meng Po saw her, she said a few words to her in a hurry: "My sister is completely awake?" ”
Ying Ning was surprised: "My sister actually knows that I was drunk yesterday? ”
Meng Poying smiled: "It's not just me who knows, I'm afraid the entire underworld knows about it." ”
Ying Ning was even more surprised, so she asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”
Could it be that she did something terrible when she was drunk, didn't she make some unforgivable mistake again? If you think about it carefully, probably not, if she gets into trouble, how can she still wander the underworld so gracefully at this moment. Zhong Wu came here today, although she didn't see it, but looking at the boy's attitude, there should be nothing inappropriate.
Meng Po pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister doesn't remember anything?" What a shame is that? ”
Ying Ning was confused by Meng Po's words, and she became more and more unable to understand the meaning of her words. When Meng Po looked at the look on her face, she knew that she really didn't remember yesterday's events. She said in Yingning's ear: "Last night, my lord took you back to the underworld, and sent it to your room intimately, and I heard from the boy there that he took care of you in your room for a long time." Don't you have any impressions? ”
Yingning's face turned red, and she really didn't have any impression of what Meng Po said. Zhong Wuqi came back with her, is there such a thing? She only remembered that she had a dream in a daze, which seemed to be nibbling on a sesame baked cake and drinking half a pot of rice wine. It's just that the sesame baked cake is not as crispy as Yunshang said, but a little soft.
As for being taken care of in the room for half a day, the boy did not mention anything today, and he had to ask carefully when he went back. She suddenly felt a little flustered in her heart, and she didn't know what bad behavior she had done last night. She didn't know what her drunken state was, but she just heard Xiaoyaojun say that when she was drunk, she would giggle, and she would talk more than usual, but she wouldn't cause trouble. She was a little relieved.
Meng Po laughed at her a few words, and then got busy. Ying Ning felt bored, and turned around and wandered around the side again.
The darkness in the underworld made Ying Ning very uncomfortable. She spun around with her hands behind her back, and inexplicably she saw a huge tree. The tree had no flowers or leaves, only cracked branches, and its fangs stretched out into the air without claws. In such a dazed time and space, it looks eerie and strange. On the branches of the trees listened to two black birds, which looked like crows, but their cries were a little more crisp than larks. The red mouth and claws are particularly striking.
Ying Ning walked over curiously, only to find a person leaning on the thick trunk. He was dressed in a black robe, and his hair was untied, and his long hair was scattered on the ground like a waterfall. His eyes were tightly closed, as if he were asleep.
She walked lightly and slowly to the man's side. She crouched down silently, palms on her cheeks, and looked at the man carefully. The rosy lips are tightly pursed, the bridge of the nose is high, and the skin is delicate and fair. I can't see my eyes, but I think I'm a beauty.
She was looking at it seriously when the man's eyes suddenly opened. His eyes were bright and bright, and he had just woken up, but he was not half hazy.
He stared at Ying Ning for a while, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "How did Fairy Ying Ning come here?" ”
Ying Ning was very excited, sat beside him and said, "I just arrived in the underworld one day, and you actually recognize me?" ”
The man stretched out his finger and pointed upward, and said in a pleasant voice: "The gods in the sky, who doesn't know that they have come to the underworld?" Which one doesn't know? ”
Ying Ning laughed: "I didn't know that I was so famous, in fact, I was just a low-level immortal, and I really couldn't talk about it." Speaking of which, I still don't know the name of the Great Immortal Venerable, what rank is it in the underworld? ”
The man turned his head to look at her, and pondered for a moment: "I'm just a little ghost, and my name is not enough to worry about, so it's better for you to call me Ah Cha." ”
Yingning said proudly: "In Xia Yingning, I have just arrived, and I will rely on Ah Cha to take care of me in the future." ”
Asha smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Ying Ning saw Ah Cha's gentle attitude, so she felt that he was a very good person to think about. She shifted and moved closer to him. was about to open his mouth to ask him why he was sleeping here, but Ah Cha suddenly frowned, and his expression was a little depressed.
Ying Ning didn't know why he had such a look, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you unwell?" ”
Ah Cha looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, you pressed my hair." ”
Ying Ning "ahh Ying Ning smiled awkwardly, pulled out his handful of hair, and very thoughtfully pulled off a few weeds on it, and wiped it clean on her before putting him back in a safe place.
Ying Ning wondered why he didn't tie his hair, so he asked: "My brother said that in the underworld, you must also be neatly dressed, and you must not wear a drape. If you don't tie your hair, won't that weird Hades-sama blame? ”
"My brother? The eccentric Hades? Ah Cha looked at her with an uncertain look in her eyes, and her tone was very puzzled.
Ying Ning was stunned for a moment, could it be that this ghost is not of high grade, and he is very familiar with the two she said? She hurriedly explained, "I am the Ghost King, you should know him." As for the strange Hades, I have met him once, but I have not seen him for what he really is. Isn't it strange to hide behind that dark curtain and not look bright enough? ”
Ah Cha suddenly smiled and said lightly to Ying Ning: "Listening to you, the Hades King is indeed a little weird. ”
"Haven't you seen Hades?" Ying Ning asked.
Ah Cha lowered his eyes, his slender fingers played with the hair on his shoulder, and said quietly: "The high Hades King, how can I and other little ghosts be seen casually." ”
His tone was a little low, and Ying Ning thought that he felt that his rank was too small and a little unhappy. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, you will perform well in the underworld, and you will definitely shine here in the future and make a difference." ”
Ah Chaha laughed a few times, looked at Ying Ning intently, and said: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words, it is difficult to say whose world this underworld will be in the future." ”
Ying Ning felt that Ah Cha's eyes burst out with a different look, and she felt a faint feeling of discomfort in her heart. But the discomfort was fleeting, and she said, "You really have the courage. ”
The two birds in the tree chirped again, and Ying Ning looked up and asked, "What kind of bird is this?" How can it sound so good? ”
Ah Cha waved his hand, and one obediently flew down and landed on his hand. He lowered his head and held the bird's black feathers, and said softly: "This bird is called Wu Ling, who knows astronomy, geography, and can predict the future. ”
Ying Ning didn't know that there was such a divine bird in this world, and she was very excited to reach out and touch it. Before her fingers could touch one of the bird's feathers, it fluttered its wings and flew to the high branches.
Ying Ning was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her hand sadly and asked, "What does it mean?" Don't you like people to touch? ”
Ah Cha smiled and said: "This bird has been following me since birth, and I don't know others, so it is reasonable to recognize life." ”
Ying Ning nodded, she could understand, but she was curious about the bird, and asked, "Since the witch spirit can predict the future, let it help predict my future?" ”
Ah Cha stroked his chin, stunned, and then said: "The bird is still young, I have not yet completely domesticated, and the psychic ability is only the skin, if you ask some people what to eat tomorrow, where to go, it can still know a little bit about it." If you want to ask about the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to satisfy the fairy's wishes. ”
Ying Ning was a little regretful, looked up and looked at her again, and the other one was tilting his little head and staring at her with round eyes. Calling at her a few times from time to time, Ying Ning took Ah Cha's arm and asked, "Is it talking to me?" Do you understand? ”
Ah Cha stared at the bird and clapped her hands at it, and the bird flew down obediently and landed on Yingning's shoulder. Ah Cha smiled and said, "This bird is destined for you, and you like it so much, how about I give it to you?" ”
Ying Ning's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Really? ”
"That's natural, I won't lie to you about such a trivial matter."
Ying Ning stretched out her hand to the bird, and the bird landed on her hand again, Ying Ning stroked its smooth feathers and asked, "Is it easy to feed?" ”
Ah Cha took out a jar from his sleeve and handed it to Yingning. Ying Ning opened it and saw that there were many insects inside, writhing their white and chubby bodies. Thinking that it was the birds' food, Yingning closed the lid and stuffed it into her sleeve. She held the bird and said to Ah Cha: "Thank you Ah Cha for giving me such an interesting bird." It's late tonight, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you another day. ”
Ah Cha leaned against the trunk of the tree, closed her eyes slightly, yawned and said, "I'm also tired, I want to sleep for a while." I will be here on the first and fifteenth day of every month, you can come to me, I will wait for you. ”
