Chapter 10: The Night Banquet in the Mansion
As dawn approaches, Jizooji Temple, which had been noisy for a day, falls silent, while the courtyard houses around it gradually become lively, and the cyan soul-attracting lanterns are hung at the entrance of the courtyard by the impermanence students, and the slightly blue flowers on the other side complement each other, rendering a quiet and tranquil night scene.
In a courtyard in the northeast corner of the Ghost King's Mausoleum, I saw a beautiful beauty busy in and out of the kitchen of the courtyard, and as she was busy, a fragrance of vegetables that made people couldn't help but move their index fingers gradually spread in the courtyard.
In the main hall of the courtyard behind her, there was a table of eight immortals, Fan Tianjiu and Si Bi'an were sipping melon seeds while looking at Ji Xuelan, who was busy in the courtyard, chatting.
"Brother Jiu, what are you talking about? Brother Zhu, he has already returned to the yang!"
Si Bi'an looked at Fan Tianjiu with a surprised face and asked.
"I didn't expect it, Anzi, I didn't expect it either...... Brother Zhu has not only successfully returned to Yang a long time ago, but also the children born with his wife in the Yang World can already make soy sauce...... Phew"
Fan Tianjiu spit out a melon seed shell in his mouth, and then said:
“...... Brother Zhu also told me that his current life is to go to work in the underworld through the secret and soul out of the body, and then return home to accompany his wife and children on weekends. ”
"Huh, how can such a thing happen? huh...... But it's right to think about it, Brother Zhu is the captain of the ghost school, and with his qualifications, he would have already gathered a hundred little suns......"
Si Bi'an nodded when he heard this, then frowned, and asked puzzledly:
"But Brother Jiu, since Brother Zhu has successfully returned to Yang with his merits, why do you want to stay here as a ghost?"
"Well, this ......"
"What's so bad about being a ghost? The job is stable, the welfare is high, and the employment situation in the yang world is so grim, there is nothing to do when you go back......
As he was talking, as a delicate voice sounded, I saw Luo Xiaojuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, running in and running in, unceremoniously pulling over a chair and sitting next to Fan Tianjiu.
Fan Tianjiu frowned when he saw this, looked at Luo Xiaojuan who suddenly appeared, and muttered:
"Hey, Miss Ji invited our brothers to dinner, what are you doing with this yellow-haired girl?"
"Sister Lan and I are like sisters, why can't we come for a meal?"
Luo Xiaojuan ignored Fan Tianjiu, looked back at Ji Xuelan, who was busy in the kitchen, frowned, and said to Fan Si unhappily:
"Hey, you two guys just sit here with their eyes open, watching Sister Lan go about alone and not take a handle, do you think it's appropriate to do this?"
"Teacher Xiaojuan, we want to help, but Sister Lan thinks we two big men are clumsy and won't let us help. ”
Si Bi'an spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Oh, so you two are here to eat melon seeds and chat with peace of mind, right? Alas, what a pair of young masters, Ma Bao Nan......"
Luo Xiaojuan frowned and said sarcastically.
Fan Tianjiu ignored Luo Xiaojuan's sarcasm, he just looked at her lightly and pondered for a while, and asked Luo Xiaojuan in a low voice:
"Hey, girl, speaking of which, you are also the captain of the three bars, and you should have made a good merit a long time ago, and you should have returned your success to the yang......"
"Of course, I had my merits ten years ago......"
I don't know why, hearing Fan Tianjiu mention this, Luo Xiaojuan's face suddenly changed, and her tone trembled a little.
"Oh, yes, then why do you want to stay in this ghost school as a teacher? Isn't it good to get married and have a baby in the sun?! Is it because you are short-chested and flat and no one wants it? hahaha——!"
"You're still a dick guy that no one wants——!"
Before Fan Tianjiu finished speaking, Luo Xiaojuan angrily stretched out her little hand, pinched it on his arm, and then said casually:
“...... Actually, it's not good to go back, I was in a car accident when I was 12 years old, and I almost died.
Although I finally picked up a life after rescue, but I became a high paraplegic, I can't move from the neck down, if I am still yang back into my body, then I will not be able to do anything in the next life except lie on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, if so, it is better to stay comfortable in the underworld......"
Luo Xiaojuan's tone when she told these things about herself was so relaxed, as if this incident did not happen to her.
And Fan Tianjiu, who was sitting next to him, put away his smile when he heard this, and looked at each other and didn't know what to say, they didn't expect that Luo Xiaojuan, who was usually smart and lively, would have this kind of encounter, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Xiaojuan, we didn't mean to ask about it......"
After staying for a long time, Si Bi'an pursed his lips, looked at Luo Xiaojuan and said apologetically.
"Yes, yes, girl, we didn't mean it! Don't take it to heart!!!ha, ha, ha——!"
Seeing that Si Bi'an spoke, Fan Tianjiu hurriedly took over the conversation and smiled awkwardly.
Then, Fan Tianjiu turned his head to look at Ji Xuelan in the courtyard, and asked Guo Xiaojuan in a low voice:
"Hey, girl, let me ask you, what about that Captain Ji?
"Little Jiujiu, why are you so gossipy? I like to get to the bottom of everything......
Luo Xiaojuan laughed at Fan Tianjiu, and then turned her head to look at Ji Xuelan in the courtyard, frowned, and said in a low voice:
“...... No, Sister Lan didn't return to Yang either. And she is worse than me, although I am physically inconvenient, but at least the three souls and seven spirits are still intact.
And Sister Lan is now shattered because of the accident at school four years ago, and it is not easy to maintain the image of this impermanent ghost, let alone return to yang. ”
"What?!'s soul shattered?, how could her soul be shattered?"
Fan Tianjiu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.
"Alas, not ...... four years ago"
Luo Xiaojuan sighed lightly and just wanted to answer, but suddenly frowned and said:
"No, that matter is a school secret, and it also involves Sister Lan's personal privacy, I can't tell you!"
"Oh——! how can you talk only half of your words, tell me quickly! What happened to Ji Xuelan four years ago......
"Well, what's wrong with me?"
As he was talking, Fan Tianjiu suddenly heard a sound like a silver bell behind him.
Fan Tianjiu looked back and found that at some point, Ji Xuelan was standing behind him with a bowl of hot soup, and happened to look at him with a smile, so he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly prevaricated:
"Ahh......h Talk about you being busy for so long, is the food delicious? hahaha——!"
"What's there to talk about? Won't you know when you taste it?" Hehe, the dishes are ready, come out and help serve the dishes, or it will be cold in a while......"
Ji Xuelan smiled.
"Okay, let's go ——!."
After speaking, Fan Tianjiu took the soup in Ji Xuelan's hand and put it on the table, raised his head and secretly glared at Luo Xiaojuan, then pulled his boss Bi'an, and walked towards the kitchen with Ji Xuelan......
..................
The night was like ink, and under the light of the faint green lights, I saw that Ji Xuelan's dishes were set up on a full table, Fan Tianjiu, Si Bi'an, and Luo Xiaojuan sat around the table, pushing cups and changing lamps and eating happily.
"Ahh......h Ahh......hh It's delicious, it's delicious, Sister Lan's cooking is so delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious dish in my life!"
I saw Si Bi'an holding the bowl, gobbling up the dishes into his mouth, and exclaiming inarticulately.
"Hehe, eat slowly, Xiao An, no one is robbing you of ......"
Hearing that the dishes she made were recognized, Ji Xuelan also changed her usual coldness, and whispered to Si Bi'an with a smile.
Unlike Si Bi'an, who devoured it, Fan Tianjiu frowned slightly, and while unhurriedly putting the dish into his mouth, he looked at Ji Xuelan's smiling jade face and muttered secretly:
“...... It looks quite normal, how can it be a broken soul?"
"What did you say?"
Ji Xuelan noticed Fan Tianjiu's strange appearance, turned her head, looked at him and asked strangely.
"Huh, nothing, haha, this dish is delicious......"
Fan Tianjiu knew that it was not a good time to ask Ji Xuelan this question now, so he hurriedly laughed, buried his head in the bowl and stopped talking.
Just as Ji Xuelan was looking at Fan Tianjiu strangely, she saw Luo Xiaojuan next to her suddenly look up at the clock on the table next to her, raised her eyebrows, and exclaimed:
"Oh——! it's time to catch up on the show!
After speaking, I saw Guo Xiaojuan jump off the chair and run into the bedroom next to her.
"What? Watch TV? Do you have TV in the underworld?"
Fan Tianjiu was stunned when he heard this, raised his head from his rice bowl and looked at Luo Xiaojuan in wonder.
After a while, I saw Luo Xiaojuan take out a bronze mirror with carved patterns from the bedroom next to her, panting and coming to the Eight Immortals table in the living room, turning her head to Fan Tianjiu and saying:
"Little Jiujiu, come and help me move it up......"
Fan Tianjiu was stunned when he saw this, walked to Luo Xiaojuan's side, and while helping him move the mirror to the table, he wondered:
"Aren't you going to watch TV, why are you going to come out with a mirror?"
"This cave mirror is our TV in the underworld......"
Speaking of this, Luo Xiaojuan reached out and touched the edge of the mirror.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a blue light flash in the mirror, and an ape demon wearing an expedition suit, with a sturdy figure and a hairy face, appeared in the mirror.
"Woo woo woo—— I'm the king of the forest ape hero!"
With a howl, the orangutan was seen holding a pistol in his left hand and a vine in his right hand, howling loudly while deftly swinging through the dense jungle, but judging from the blood-red moon in the sky, it was obvious that it was not filmed in the sun.
Fan Tianjiu was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in the mirror, and asked sneeringly:
"W-what's this?"
"This is the super hot drama that shocked the Netherworld and became popular all over the underworld recently-"
"Dangdangdang——!"
Luo Xiaojuan didn't finish speaking, and as the performance of the opening song ended, I saw a line of red characters appear in the bronze mirror-
"My Love from the Orangutan"
"What the hell, you from the 'orangutan'?!"
When Fan Tianjiu saw this title, he was immediately confused......
