Chapter 100: A Hall of Monarchs

Suddenly, Ah Qi, the Yin Division of the Ten Palaces, said: "Isn't Ah Da on good terms with the First Hall Prison Division?" I can let Ah Da inquire and see if there is a person named Jiang Rongwen. ”

After hearing this, hope was refreshed in my heart: "That's fine." ”

While comforting Shen Qiushui, I waited for the news of Yin Si.

On this day, he went to and from school as usual, Xiaofan was depressed and much more silent than usual, and I couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong today?" ”

The little mortal little ghost sighed lightly: "The child sitting next to me was sick and didn't come, the teacher said that she was very sick, Mom, that child may never come again." ”

He is obviously so young, but he has seen all the life and death in the world, joys and sorrows, and sighs helplessly.

"Xiaofan, don't be sad, she just went to another world."

"Is there another world?"

"Of course, after people die, they will go to the underworld, and we are here in the yang world."

Xiao Fan nodded as if he half-understood: "Will people go to the underworld after death?" But why do I always see people who have died, and they are still in the sun? ”

"That's because they still have unfinished wishes in their lifetimes."

"Can others see them?" Xiao Fan asked with a puzzled expression.

I said, "If there is a fate, you can see it." ”

Xiao Fan yawned: "Mom, Xiao Fan is so sleepy." ”

"So you can't look at that little scroll tonight, you have to go to bed early."

As soon as the words fell. Xiao Fan had already hung his head and fell asleep. I sighed and took a blanket from the back seat for him.

When I went back, I woke up Xiao Fan and asked him to do his homework first, and he met Shen Qiushui head-on, and he seemed to be in a much better spirit.

But the look of anxiety in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and I comforted him a few words, and I wondered if he had listened.

"Is there a whereabouts of Rong Wan?"

"There's no news yet, but I don't think I have to wait too long, I'll let you know as soon as there's a whereabouts."

Shen Qiushui sighed lightly: "In the past two days, I have always had nightmares, dreaming that Rong Wan was asking me for help, I wanted to save her, but I fell into the abyss with her, I always felt that this dream was unlucky." ”

"You've been too nervous lately, you should relax and go out for a walk so you don't get cranky."

"Is it really my crankiness?"

I pursed my lips and was silent for a long time before I said: "There are many things, I can't control anyone, it will always happen, the only thing we can do is to take care of ourselves, don't let the people who care about you worry." ”

Shen Qiushui smiled: "I know, you go and get busy, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"It's almost time to eat, or let's eat first and then go out for a walk."

He turned around and said, "It's okay, you can eat, don't worry about me, you're right, maybe I'm too nervous, if I continue like this, before I find Rong Wan, I may have fallen first, I need to be calm and calm alone." ”

In the evening, I took the children to dinner, Xiaofan and my sister played for a while, and I was holding the information about Huangquan flowers back then.

Xiao Rose stepped forward and took my hand: "Mom, Xiao Rose also wants to play with many children." ”

I smiled and touched the child's head: "Xiao Rose is still young, and when it comes to tomorrow spring, my mother will send Xiao Rose to study in the kindergarten, where there are many children, and Xiao Rose will not be bored." ”

"Why can't I study with my brother?"

"My brother is three years older than Xiao Gui, and my brother is already in the first grade, so Xiao Gui will be able to study with my brother when she grows up quickly."

Xiao Rose clapped her hands and looked expectant: "Xiao Rose wants to grow up quickly, and she can play with her brother all day long." ”

Xiao Rose is full of dependence and love for this brother, no matter what, the sensible Xiao Fan has helped me take care of Xiao Rose many times, which really makes me a lot easier.

Looking at the time, it was already early at night, and Xiao Rose fell asleep on the carpet on the side while playing by herself.

I stepped forward to pick up Xiao Rose, and said to Xiao Fan, who was reading the comics, "Xiao Fan." It's time to go to bed now, hurry back to your room and sleep. ”

"Oh." Xiao Fan put the book back on the stool and put it back on the shelf.

As soon as they fell asleep, the Ten Halls of Yin suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Mother Yan, I found it."

My heart tightened, put down the information in my hand, and asked anxiously, "How?" ”

"There is indeed a person named Jiang Rongwan, the strange thing is that she has written her name in the life and death book of the king of Hades three years ago, but she stayed in the yang world for another three years, and she was escorted to the underworld by black and white impermanence some time ago."

I thought about it and asked them, "There is a kind of flower in the underworld, is it called Huangquan flower?" ”

Yin Si nodded: "There is indeed this kind of flower, which used to grow on the shore of the Yellow Spring, but just a few years ago, the Yellow Spring Flower was suddenly burned clean by the fire of Mo Ming, and now on the bank of the Yellow Spring, there is no trace of it." ”

I took a deep breath: "Can you take me to the underworld and meet that Junqing, I think it would be better to ask about some things in person." ”

Yin Si exchanged a look before he said: "You are Mother Yan, it is okay to go to the underworld, but Jun Qing of the first hall is indeed not easy to speak, I don't know what Mother Yan wants to do?" ”

"This woman named Jiang Rongwan is the lover of a friend of mine, I promised him to help him find out the truth, and now Jiang Rongwan's whereabouts are unknown, he is very anxious."

"I see, but I don't know when Mother Yan will go? Accompanied by subordinates. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, this matter should not be delayed for too long." I'm sorry to trouble the two Yin Si adults. ”

"Mother Yan is polite, if there is nothing else, the subordinates will go back to the underworld first."

"Well, go ahead."

Shen Qiushui didn't come back until late that night, and when he saw that I was still in the living room, he stepped forward and asked, "Why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"There's news, I'm waiting for you to come back and talk to you."

After hearing this, Shen Qiushui looked excited: "Where is she?" ”

"Jiang Rongwu is indeed at the end of her life, and she has been escorted to a hall by black and white impermanence, I have already said hello to Yin Si, and I plan to go down tomorrow to ask about the situation."

Sure enough, Shen Qiushui said: "I want to go together, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

"You are the party, and you should go together. Rest early today, recuperate, and leave for the first temple tomorrow. ”

After some discussion, they fell asleep, and the next day was a weekend, and the Yin Si envoy came as promised, opened the door of the underworld, and we followed them into a dark passage.

After walking for a while, I came to a closed space like an elevator. The only door was closed, and I felt my body continue to fall with the space.

The fall took a long time to stop, at which point the Yin Envoy opened the door. He saluted and said, "Mother Yan, this is the palace of the king of Hades." ”

As Yin Si walked forward, he saw a ghost envoy guarding the door, and Yin Si took out a token and said: "This is the mother of the Ten Palaces behind him, come to visit your first hall of Hades, and ask the ghost to send a big brother to report." ”

Seeing the token, the imp looked at me again and immediately turned around to report.

After a while, I saw the ambassador of the Yin Division of the first hall come to greet him in person, and came to an antique hall.

The sun cannot be seen in the underworld, and there is lifelessness all around. Spooky.

Although he had spent some time in Chu Nantang's tomb before, it was completely different from the feeling here.

The little ghost on the mission of the Yin Division in the first hall made a pot of tea, and waited for a while, only to hear a faint sound of footsteps behind him.

Shen Qiushui and I looked back at the same time, and saw a man in a cyan Tang suit, with a handsome face and a calm look, walking slowly.

"The two distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time." Junqing sat down elegantly in front of us and took a sip of tea quietly.

"I didn't wait too long, and I suddenly took the liberty to disturb me, I'm really sorry."

Jun Qing was silent for a while before saying, "I heard earlier that the reincarnation king of the Ten Halls was reincarnated, but I haven't squeezed out time to congratulate you. Please don't blame Mother Yan. ”

This Junqing looks thorough, gentle and polite, but in fact, he is so enthusiastic that he feels that people are cautious in advancing and retreating, and there is life everywhere.

"It's just a trivial matter, I came here this time because I have an important matter, and I want to ask Lord Junqing."

Jun Qing smiled: "Mother Yan, please ask." ”

"My friend's lover, named Jiang Rongwan, I calculated that her longevity suddenly ended three years ago, but she lived in the world for another three years. Recently, not a single word has disappeared, which makes my friend very worried, so I came over to ask Lord Junqing if he has brought a person named Jiang Rongwan down recently. ”

Jun Qing smiled lightly and said politely: "There are too many ghosts every day, and many of them have not passed through my hands, according to the merits and mistakes of the first hall, they are arranged by the head of the Yin Division of the first hall to the second hall, so I really don't know what Yan Mu asked." ”

Although Jun Qing was smiling, it made me feel a chill rising from my back, and Shen Qiushui took a deep breath.

"As the king of a palace of Hades, you are in charge of life and death in the two worlds of yin and yang, how can you not know?!"

"Autumn water!" I pulled him over: "Calm down. ”

Jun Qing half-narrowed his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes: "It is said that the king of Hades told people to die in the third watch, and he didn't dare to keep people until the fifth watch." I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't send them either. ”

told him to leave, I hurriedly called him: "Jun Qing! For the sake of the Ten Temples, can you help me find out this person, and be extra gracious, so that we can meet her? ”

Jun Qing looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry Mother Yan, even if His Royal Highness the Tenth is here in person, he has no right to interfere in the affairs of our First Palace, if the other Nine Palaces wait for the interrogation to be completed, and people arrive at your Ten Palaces, it is not too late to ask." ”

"Actually, I won't tell you that Jiang Rongwan's death is related to Huangquanhua, and I came here just to find out the truth."

"Huangquan Flower?"

Jun Qing raised his eyebrows, a light crossed the tail of his slender eyes, and his thin lips smiled lightly: "Four years ago, there was a fire, and the Huangquan flowers were burned to death, where are the Huangquan flowers now?" I don't know who has such great ability to burn the flowers on the other side of the Yellow Spring to the point that there is not a single plant left. ”

My heart tightened, the fire four years ago was indeed related to us.

Then Jun Qing said: "Huangquan Flower is the flower of Yin, a symbol of the underworld, and its significance is extraordinary. If you deliberately burn it so that the flower of the Yin Si cannot regenerate, this is an unforgivable felony! ”

I gritted my teeth, took a deep breath and said, "Since it's the flower of the Yin Division, why is there no one to control it?" Let this flower grow and do evil in the world, killing many innocent lives. Who will bear this fault? ”

"How could it run into the world and kill innocents? It is the intersection of the two worlds of yin and yang, but it is a living person, running there, not to send him to death, but what to do? ”

"You!" I repeatedly warned myself that now I have a request for others, and I must not cause unnecessary conflicts and verbal disputes at will, and after calming down, I said: "Jun Qing, you are the king of a palace. These words just now are inevitably mixed with too many personal feelings? ”

"Oh? The Ten Palaces of Yama, you did not hesitate to condescend to come to our first hall, is it public or private? ”

"On business, of course!" I said indignantly, "There is something suspicious, I should find out." Jiang Rongwen's life changed suddenly, and only then did he break his longevity three years ago, and when he left, he left a yellow spring flower. You just kept saying that the Huangquan Flower was burned down four years ago, so where did this Huangquan Flower come from? ”

"I don't know, if you're interested. Just check slowly, and if you find anything, remember to tell me. ”

"Jun Qing, as the king of a palace of Hades, how can you end a person's life so hastily? If she is wronged, you should let her return the yang! ”

Jun Qing's smile disappeared, and he frowned and said, "If it is really a grievance, if it is tried layer by layer, it will naturally give her justice and let her return her yang." It's just that we are a hall, and we only care about the lifespan of the yang and yin worlds. Bring the soul back to the underworld, and don't worry about anything else! ”

"Okay, I'll find out! Excuse me, farewell. ”

We left the first hall and returned to the yang world, feeling very tired, it seems that going to the underworld will consume a lot of essence qi for us.

The Ten Palaces Yin Si said indignantly: "That Jun Qing, the attitude is really excessive!" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "But the more he does this, the more suspicious I think he is." It seems that he deliberately wanted to hide something and didn't want us to know. ”

Shen Qiushui said: "I also think that he has some secrets to hide from us, and do you hear it?" In every word, he is maintaining Huangquan Flower. ”

"Well, I heard that, too. This Jun Qing is estimated to have something to do with Huangquan Flower. ”

After being silent for a while, Shen Qiushui clasped his fingers tightly, and his face was solemn: "It's a pity that I'm just a mortal now, and I can't do anything for her." ”

"It would be nice to see her and ask her about it."

The Ten Palaces Yin Si hurriedly said, "Mother Yan doesn't have to worry, just as Jun Qing said. The ghosts brought back after the trial of the first hall will be sent to the second hall for retrial, and Luo Yan of the second hall is very talkative, so we will intercede when the time comes. ”

"That's great, I wonder how long the process will take?"

"This depends on the merits and faults of this person in the yang world, but it will not exceed three months in the human world at most."

"So long?" I sighed helplessly.

"But you look at Jun Qing's attitude, I can't find out anything from his good son, so I can only wait for three months to find Luo Yan."

I thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, go to the second hall first, and you will meet Na Luo Yan." Say hello? ”

The Ten Palaces Yin Si nodded again and again: "This is feasible." ”

Seeing that Shen Qiushui was depressed, I asked Lu Wei to pour him a glass of water.

"Qiushui, otherwise leave this matter to me, you wait for news here."

"I can't do anything else than that." Shen Qiushui looked helpless: "Thank you, Lingsheng." ”

"Just ...... It was at that time that you blocked the wound for me, and I will repay your kindness. ”

Referring to the events of the year, Shen Qiushui shook his head: "You don't owe me anything, from that time on, in fact, the grievances and grievances between us have been settled, and now it's only I owe you." ”

"Don't say that...... No matter what. You are my friend. ”

He smiled bitterly, "Thank you for still treating me as your friend." ”

That night, I went to the second hall of Yama with the Yin envoy again, and met Luo Yan, who heard that Luo Yan was a military general in the Zhou Dynasty, and he was honest and bold.

It was completely different from Jun Qing's one-glance attitude, and when he heard that I was the mother of the Ten Palaces, he immediately invited him to sit down and said, "The King of the Ten Palaces is reincarnated, and he is reincarnated once in 100,000 years, and he has finally waited." Now that there is a Lord in the ten halls, it is really gratifying. ”

"Thank you, Lord Luoyan."

"I don't know what Mother Yan is looking for me?"

I explained everything to him in detail, except for the fire four years ago, which was not explained, and everything else was word-for-word.

After listening to this, Fu Hu pondered for a long time before he said: "This matter is indeed strange, but between our ten halls, we never cross the line to administer the trial of other halls, so we can only wait for this Miss Jiang to arrive in the second hall, and then carefully interrogate and interrogate." ”

Listening to what he said, my heart finally let go.

"Thank you in advance, Lord Luo Yan."

"Mother Yan is welcome." Luo Yan paused, and stopped talking: "But this Huangquan Flower burned very strangely back then, and I don't know which one was profound, the fire was not ordinary, and the Yellow Spring Water could not be extinguished, and the Huangquan Flower was burned to the ground." ”

"Uh......" I quietly wiped the sweat from my palm: "This...... I don't know. However, Huangquanhua killed a lot of innocent people. ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Yes, I heard Jun Qing say that it is the place where yin and yang meet, there is a ghost village, and the messenger in the ghost village deliberately stumbled the passers-by, took them to the village, and fed the yellow spring flowers."

After hearing this, Luo Yan's face changed a few times: "For thousands of years, Huangquanhua has never heard of cannibalism. Is this true? ”

"Yes, several of my friends escaped from there, and the flower spring flower path multiplied and grew in the human body, and there was no way to crack it, until later, when the blood of pure yang was used, it was solved."

Luo Yan thought for a while and said: "It seems that this matter is not simple, the shore of Huangquan is no longer visible, and the ten halls are also growing next to the bridge in the past. I can't see a single one now. ”

But when Miss Jiang left, there was indeed a blooming yellow spring flower and placed it next to the pillow. Does it mean that in fact, the yellow spring flowers have not burned out? Maybe someone is keeping it private now? ”

Luo Yan said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who is suspicious? ”

"This ......" Although he ran into a wall when he went to a hall before, it was not a personal vendetta, Jun Qing was the most suspicious person, but now that he said it, he was afraid that it would also be misunderstood and the truth would be settled.

I shook my head and said, "I don't dare to speculate yet. ”

Luo Yan nodded: "If that Miss Jiang arrives in the second hall for training, I will let the Yin envoy inform you." ”

"Thank you, Lord Luoyan."

After leaving the Second Hall of Yama, I didn't hear anything about Jiang Rongwu and Huangquanhua for a long time. All we can do now is wait.

In the dead of night, I sat alone in the studio, painting a portrait of Chu Nantang, and every inch of the acacia was very tormenting.

Maybe I'm too tired lately, and I don't know when I've fallen asleep.

In my sleep, I heard someone call me.

"Madame, ma'am, wake up."

My heart was pounding, and I opened my eyes suddenly. I saw Chu Nantang wearing a crescent white robe, standing in front of me and smiling at me.

"Nantang! You're finally back. ”

I rushed forward and hugged him: "Nantang...... Do you know how much I miss you? Without you by my side, I feel tormented every minute and second. ”

"Madam, I miss you too."

"Don't leave me, Nantang, it's good if you come back."

He looked helpless and sighed lightly: "But I can't help myself, I can't come back." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"We found an underground river, but there it was trapped. There is no way to escape. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'm leaving, ma'am, and I'll miss you."

"Don't go! Nantang ...... Nantang!! "I woke up from my dream, a cool breeze blew in from the windowsill, the curtains were raised, I looked at the confused night, and lost my mind for a long time.

The dream was so real that I still can't believe that it was just a dream.

What did he mean by those words in his dream? Underground rivers? Stuck there and unable to escape? Why can't you escape?

I got up and closed the window, recalling the dream. He had been gone for three years, and it was the first time he had dreamed of him.

Tears crept down my cheeks, and I leaned alone against the window for a long time before leaving the study.

Two months later, Xiao Fan suddenly told me that his little follower Mo Xixun would be worried about his life.

Anyway, I have some selfish intentions for Mo Xixun. Generally, I don't want to meddle in things, but Mo Xilu is the reincarnation that Gu Xi and I have been waiting for, and I want him to be happy and live without peace and worry in this life.

"Xiao Fan, did you see it from that scroll?"

Xiao Fan nodded vigorously, took out the scroll, and turned to the page about Mo Xixun.

It turned out that the family he voted for was also a good family, living a worry-free life, but he didn't want Mo's mother to cheat, Mo's father couldn't stand it, and in one night, he hacked Mo's mother to death with a kitchen knife in his sleep.

All this was awakened by Mo Xixun, who saw that Mo's father lost his mind and suspected that Mo Xixun was not his biological child, so he killed him with a kitchen knife, and then hanged himself and died in the living room.

I put the scroll away, and I had to stop it before it happened.

"Xiaofan, don't tell anyone about it, your mother will take care of it."

Xiao Fan nodded: "Mom, you will definitely save Xi Xun, right?" He's the only good friend I've ever had. ”

"Yes." I touched Xiaofan's head, looked at the time, and went back to the school to check Chamo Xixi's information, which said the address of the residence.
