Chapter 507: Ritual 1
The place where the four reappeared was by a river. A few people were surrounded by towering pomegranate trees, and in the distance there were large complexes of buildings, like marching camps.
Zuo Kui was stunned.
This is the place where Lady Durian was planted and raised, and it is also the place where he was brought by the Netherworld when he meditated.
He looked at the meandering river and the endless meadow, and suddenly he was in a trance.
It was only two days ago that I was chatting with the Nether and the Lady of the Grenades.
Now that I'm back here, it's no longer a thing.
"The world is so unpredictable......"
Zuo Kui looked at the scene in front of him and muttered.
He looked back at the Grenade Tree, and always felt that the Lady of the Grenade would reappear here, and smiled at them and said a blessing softly.
Unfortunately, that's not possible.
Zuo Jing was entering the Illusory Realm for the first time, and couldn't help but scream. Zhong Kui patiently explained to him and Mo Xing what this place was, Mo Xing nodded silently, and Zuo Jing was amazed.
In front of the pomegranate tree, Zhong Kui had already arranged a simple Dharma platform, which was very briefly arranged. The waist-high table is covered with a fire-colored tablecloth. There is an incense burner on it, a row of seats, and three peculiar ornaments.
There were three small copper platforms, each with an apple-sized ball of light floating on each small copper platform, one black, one yellow, and one white.
"What are these three?" Zuo Jing said in surprise.
Zhong Kui said: "Originally, I wanted to sacrifice with three animals. But after thinking about it, I thought it was a little strange to sacrifice these things to Mrs. Grenade. I think Mrs. Grenade is a spirit of plants and trees, and she probably likes water, soil, and sunshine. ”
He pointed to the three-color light ball and said, "I took some of the essence of the three elements and offered it to her. The black ones are the water spirits, the yellow ones are the earth spirits, and the white ones are the light spirits, all of which are tributes. ”
Mo Xing nodded in amazement and said, "It's amazing...... Is it your surgery? ”
Zhong Kui nodded, and said to Mo Xing again: "Thank you too, Boss Mo." You've also done a great favor, to be precise, a decisive favor, and Hades owes you a favor. ”
Mo Xing scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Don't dare to be."
Zhong Kui nodded and said to the three of them: "Just a few of us." I originally wanted to inform Cui Jue and their people from the Underworld, but they were all busy dealing with the losses caused by the Yama Heavenly Son, not to mention that it was also time-consuming to gather people, and there would be a lot of trouble when there were too many people. ”
As he spoke, he lit the three pillars of incense and inserted it in the furnace.
"Humans love to be buried in the limelight, but we tend to be more simple about it. After all, we are in charge of life and death, and we understand that every ghost path that has passed away is inevitable. Mrs. Grenade doesn't have many friends, and the few who are there are either there or have passed away. There are also one or two, belonging to the Shenlong type of seeing the head but not the tail, Zhong has limited ability, and he really can't find them. Therefore, Zhong made the decision without authorization, and held this memorial ceremony in accordance with the rules of the underworld, hoping that you Haihan. ”
Zhong Kui's words were a bit of a scene, and Zuo Kui was a little distracted when he listened to it.
He was sad.
When a person dies for himself, it is an indescribable feeling.
Heartache, sadness, regret, lamentation, that wisp of thought is difficult to grasp, but it is tactful and long, pressing on the heart, unable to dispel.
I don't know how long it took, Zhong Kui finally chattered a lot of things. Zuo Kui was able to come back to his senses because Zuo Jing touched him.
He came back to his senses, a little unclear.
"It's your turn."
Zhong Kui said with a smile.
Zuo Kui was stunned for a moment and said, "What should I do?" ”
Zuo Jing said: "The big guy said, according to the rules of the underworld, we don't read the eulogy or anything." Everyone said a few words to express their sorrow and pay tribute to Mrs. ”
Zuo Kui let out an "oh" and nodded silently.
"I'm done, won't you come the second one?" Zhong Kui said.
Zuo Kui thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I'll be the last." ”
Zhong Kui nodded and said, "Then who of you is coming?" ”
Zuo Jing coughed and said, "Then I'll come." That one...... Mrs. Grenade, I don't know you well, but you are my brother's good friend, so I can be regarded as attending as half a family member. Thank you very much for saving my brother and saving so many ghosts in the underworld, and I admire people who can sacrifice themselves. I heard Kui Ye say, you didn't enter reincarnation, and you returned to heaven and earth directly, so I won't wish you to be reincarnated as a good family...... All in all, thank you very much, really. ”
After Zuo Jing finished speaking, Mo Xing also stepped forward to speak, and said: "I have only one side with Mrs. Grenade, but this side alone has witnessed her from birth to death." Madame walked peacefully, and I remember her smiling warmly before she died, as if relieved. ”
Zuo Kui suddenly said, "Did she laugh at the end?" ”
Mo Xing nodded and said, "She smiled and said, 'My fate has finally come'." ”
Zuo Kui shook a little, feeling that his nose was a little sore.
"All in all, I really admire and I'm glad that she finally has a good home."
Zuo Jing frowned and said, "What do you mean, what do you have to be happy about when someone dies?" ”
Zhong Kui smiled and said: "Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten." Life is the way, death is the road, for Huo'er, from the moment she leaves the corpse and A, she is destined to the bottom of eternity, and leaving this world is probably the best ending for her. ”
Zuo Jing let out a long breath, her brows still furrowed, but she didn't speak anymore.
"Zuo Kui, it's your turn." Zhong Kui said.
Zuo Kui sighed, looked at the three of them, and stopped talking.
"I don't know what to say." He said.
"Just say a few words."
Zuo Kui pondered for a while and said: "I'm very sad, not because Huo'er sacrificed herself for me and for many ghosts, but because Huo'er is such a kind and gentle woman, after more than 2,000 years of loneliness, when she finally had a friend who could become a friend, she died. ”
Zuo Kui looked at the three of them and said, "I think God is a little blind." ”
Zhong Kui and the three of them looked at each other, and they all felt a little surprised.
Mo Xing can best understand Zuo Kui's deep sadness, and he persuaded: "Boss Zuo, don't be too sad, after all, this is chosen by Mrs. herself." ”
"Then why did she choose that?"
Mo Xing let out a "uh" and couldn't answer.
Zuo Kui said: "We all say that we do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, but if even our choice to do our best is doomed, then what is the meaning of our existence?" ”
Zhong Kui chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Zuo is very wise." ”
Zuo Kui was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you say it?" ”
"This question you're confusing about is something that even many powerful cultivators can't figure out." Zhong Kui said: "However, Zhong still wants to say more." We are paying tribute to Mrs. Grenades, and you are complaining so much about your situation, but you are afraid of being disrespectful to the deceased, right? ”
"Because I've had enough of being sad." Zuo Kui said: "From the moment I ate the Grenade Fire Fruit, I have been sad countless times, and I just don't understand why Huo'er is such a gentle and kind elf that can't end up with a good end in the end." ”
Mo Xing said: "I don't think it will end well." She really looked satisfied when she left, I don't think it's more important than that, what you think is good is not necessarily what she wants. ”
"She couldn't be with the corpse, and she lived alone for a thousand years, and her heart was dead." Zuo Kui was sad: "But I, and you, could have revived his heart." ”
"How do you know, maybe she doesn't want to be resurrected at all......"
Zuo Kui and Mo Xing inexplicably began to argue, Zuo Jing was at a loss, but Zhong Kui looked at them and laughed silently.
He did not stop the two from arguing, but picked up a stone casually and threw it into the river. The pebble made a beautiful float, bouncing off the surface of the water a dozen times, stirring up dense ripples, and finally completely submerged into the river and disappeared.
