Chapter (6) Black and White Impermanence (I)
Yama Temple.
The new king succeeded to the throne, the old king retired, and the old king of Hades took off the clothes of the lord of the underworld embroidered with a few ghosts dancing wildly, and stood in the courtyard with a sigh of relief, as long as he finished the last thing, he could go to the man with peace of mind.
The old king of Hades thought so, and a few light or heavy footsteps came from behind him, and he heard the bull head smile innocently, "His Royal Highness the former king of Hades, the bull head has brought someone over to you." ”
The old Hades looked back, nodded, and said, "Well, you go down." ”
The bull head bowed to the old Hades and withdrew with a sad expression.
The old king of Hades was very pleased to see the appearance of the two people with completely different personalities in front of him, these two people were the current underworld judge Ghost Lantern and the new Yama Yan Yunqing.
Ghost Lantern is wearing a dark gray dress with snow-white lotus pattern embroidery today, a triangular sachet pinned to his waist, the black jade crown on his head, at a glance, he knows what rare goods are, the jade crown seems to be faintly swimming some living creatures, Ghost Lantern A pair of slender eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a rare normal smile.
Like a beautiful flower in the depths of the jungle, it exudes a strange fragrance that attracts outsiders, and the intruder is unaware that he is taking the initiative to lead to the trap that has been set up step by step.
Yan Yunqing, who was beside the ghost lamp, put on the dark clothes that belonged to the lord of the underworld, his picturesque eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, and his deep eyes were like the bottomless dark sea, staring at it for a long time, it always made people feel like they were gradually swallowed up, Yan Yunqing's expressionless expression seemed to be reluctant to give up on his father's departure, but the slightly tightened pale thin lips revealed his slightly uneasy emotions at the moment.
The old king smiled very kindly, and overnight, in the face of retreat, the back that had been standing tall enough to support the entire underworld suddenly bent down, showing his old age, but the heartfelt smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
The old king looked up at the sky of the underworld, slowly put his hands behind his back, and said, "Do you know why I specially called the two of you to come here today?" ”
Hearing this, the ghost lamp replied softly, "You must have something to order!" ”
"Well, indeed, you kid has been clever since he was a child, after I leave, I must be optimistic about Yun Qing, he is too old-fashioned and fair, he doesn't understand extralegal feelings, and some things are not handled well, I'm afraid it will cause criticism." The old king of Hades instructed.
The ghost lamp patted Yan Yunqing's shoulder and replied, "Don't worry, I naturally know it in my heart." ”
The old king of Hades nodded with satisfaction, "I am very relieved to have you by Yunqing's side, but I am not calling the two of you here for this matter, but to convey to you what every successor of the underworld should know." ”
The eyes of the ghost lamp were full of interest, what was it that made the old Hades need to summon the two of them alone to this remote and basically unattended courtyard.
Old Yama continued, "Our Yama lineage is just a small tribe wandering in the Five Realms, and the real masters of this underworld are not actually our Yama ancestors. ”
When the ghost lamp heard it, the narrowed eyes slowly opened, and the expression became serious and serious.
"That incident may be an experience that cannot be put on the table for the other four realms, but it is the reason for the founding of our underworld, because that incident caused too many living beings, that person opened up a space world in order to save that mess, and established a place in that world to manage the deceased souls, and later, the world called this world, "Difu", and therefore, called that person "Ghost Venerable". ”
Later, the other four realms also began to acquiesce to the "underworld", which specializes in the management of the undead, between heaven and earth, the five realms coexist, after the incident subsided, the ghost venerable handed over the "underworld" to our Yama lineage management, and since then, if it is not an emergency, there has been no "underworld". ”
Ghost Lantern was shocked and speechless, there really is such a strange person in the world, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely meet and witness that person's demeanor.
Yan Yunqing didn't have much expression, and said coldly, "So, what are we going to do?" ”
The old king of Hades felt a faint pain in his brain when he thought of the old ghost's unpredictable temperament, and he said helplessly, "So, if there is a person dressed in white, with a string of silent silver bells pinned to his waist, and ...... barefoot volley, forget it, it is better for you to take a look." The old Hades waved his hand in the air, and the image of the ghost venerable appeared in the air.
As the old Yama said, word for word, the old Yama continued, "If the ghost venerable comes to the underworld, we are all his subordinates, do you understand? In other words, you all have to listen to him, but you can't explain his identity to the rest of the underworld, you know? ”
The ghost lamp's heart is a little complicated, this ghost venerable looks like he is a little younger than him, and all of a sudden, he has become a subordinate of this person, and he is really a little incompetent.
Even so, Ghost Lantern nodded and said, "Understood." Yan Yunqing also nodded.
The three of them were more or less helpless looking at the sky, after the old king of Hades left, Yan Yunqing went to deal with the official documents, and the ghost lamp kept flipping through the ancient books, trying to get the information of the ghost venerable, but they all found nothing, and returned in vain.
"Your Excellency, Lord Yama, please." A ghost sent to tell you.
"Got it." The ghost lamp agreed, put down the ancient books in his hand, and went to the Yan Luo Hall where Yan Yunqing worked.
The ghost lamp knocked on the door of the temple and said, "What is the matter with me?" ”
Yan Yunqing nodded, took some official documents, and said while reading, "There is indeed one thing, a few days ago, there was an incident of an errand officer who fell into a coma for no reason, and those errand servants all went back to recuperate, and they have not yet recovered, whether it is an ordinary errand servant, among the unconscious errand servants, there are two very important ones, the black and white impermanence who is responsible for seducing the soul and collecting the soul is also unconscious, and has been unconscious, faintly showing the signs of annihilation, impermanence of the position, you and I are clear, ordinary people's physique is impossible to take over, so I have to trouble you and recruit people again as soon as possible." ”
The ghost lamp "tsk", stepped forward, took the relevant official document, and shook it lightly in his hand, "That's it?" I see, I'll do it as soon as possible. The ghost lamp said, leaving the Yama Palace, recruiting people, posting more notices, and then selecting them one by one, it will be over, in a blink of an eye.
Shura Temple.
The slave returned with a full storage ring, and at the same time, he brought back a message for the master.
The black slave half-knelt on the ground and presented the ring to the ghost zun, Yan Yunqing in the ghost zun's arms grabbed the ring with a smile, and looked inside, and after he finished looking at it, he handed the ring to the ghost zun with a face like a treasure, "Mother, look, there are a lot of things in it, I don't feel it even if I look at it." ”
The corner of the ghost vener's mouth smiled, touched Yan Nianqing's head and said, "Nian'er is good!" These things are all prepared for you by your mother, do you like it? ”
"Uh-huh!" Yan Nianqing nodded his head twice, took the storage ring and laughed.
The black slave silently looked at the ground in front of him and said, "Lord, there is still something to report to your subordinates." ”
"Say."
"The people from the underworld have just posted a notice saying that they are going to recruit two impermanences."
After the black slave finished speaking, the long-lost coercion came again, and the ghost venerable glanced at the black slave and said, "I have said it a long time ago, do your own thing, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't do what you shouldn't do, and don't care about what you shouldn't do." ”
The black slave who heard the cold tone of the ghost venerable was startled, and suddenly realized that he had inadvertently crossed the line, "The subordinates know that they are wrong." ”
Yan Nianqing, who was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere, tugged at the sleeve of the ghost venerable, and said in a glutinous voice, "Mother, ......" is so aggrieved and pitiful in his tone.
The coercion disappeared suddenly, and the ghost said, "Go down and receive the punishment." ”
The black slave said in a deep voice, "Yes." Then he walked in the direction of the original Shura Temple.
"Mother, Nian'er is afraid of ......" Yan Nianqing hung coquettishly on the neck of the ghost venerable, rubbing constantly, and her demeanor revealed intimacy.
The ghost venerable got up from the cloud chair with Yan Nianqing in his arms, and said softly, "Nian'er is not afraid, my mother is in the ......" While coaxing and gently patting Yan Nianqing's back, suddenly, he asked, regardless of whether Yan Nianqing understood or not, "Xiao Nian'er, can my mother take you to find your father?" ”
"Daddy?" Yan Nianqing was immediately attracted by this fresh word, "What is Daddy?" Is it OK to eat? Yan Nianqing's ignorant eyes, the ghost zun's heart tightened, and the guilt increased suddenly.
Ghost Zun patiently explained, "Daddy is the same as his mother, the person who loves Xiao Nian'er, and he is also Xiao Nian'er's relatives. ”
"I love Xiao Nian'er as much as my mother? Don't miss it! Yan Nianqing said, the hand hanging on the neck of the ghost venerable tightened slightly.
Ghost Venerable was a little surprised, "Why?" ”
Yan Nianqing's tone was a little crying, "Did you find your father, so don't you want Xiao Nian'er?" ”
Yan Nianqing's innocent inquiry, but he said that he was talking about the near future, and he said what Ghost Zun was most worried about at the moment, Ghost Zun was stunned for a moment, stared at Yan Nianqing's reddish eyes seriously, rubbed the tip of Yan Nianqing's nose with the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "No, I found my father, it is just one more person who loves Xiao Nian'er like a mother, Xiao Nian'er is so cute, mother, how can I bear to leave Xiao Nian'er behind?" ”
Yan Nianqing pouted, twitched her reddish nose, and said seriously, "That's what I said, I'm so cute, my mother must be reluctant, then, let's go find Daddy, okay?" Is it good, mother? ”
Ghost Venerable was completely amused by this little appearance, and chuckled and said, "Okay, good, listen to Xiao Nian'er." ”
"But first, my mother has to pack up her things, and when it's done, let's set off again."
"Good!" Yan Nianqing said loudly, with excitement and curiosity in his tone.
As soon as the four monsters outside the hall sighed at the miserable life of the black slaves, they felt a familiar breath and left the Shura Palace.
Mei blinked and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Lord went out with the little master just now!" Did they go to find our wife? Mei said, picked up the unknown object she had embroidered for a long time and said, "It's a pity that the clothes I embroidered for the little master haven't been finished yet!" ”
Without hesitation, he laughed and said, "Just forget it!" Do you still want to give the rotten cloth in your hands to the little master? ”
Mei said angrily, "You! A big hoe suddenly appeared in Mei's hand, "Stink, look how I clean you up!" ”
Yu didn't care about spreading his hands and said, "You come!" There's a kind of you coming! ”
Mei immediately rushed forward and chased after Wei, who just wanted to stop it, but seeing that the two people in front of him didn't really move, he also gave up and continued to sit on the side of Wei.
