Chapter XVIII onwards
"Little fox, the two altars here are white!"
"Little fox, is my piano ready?"
"Little fox, lotus stamen, and Hantan incense each come to four altars."
"Little Fox ......"
…………
The left side has just served a good wine, and the right side is about to prepare the piano, and the teleportation technique has made Xi Ci dizzy and nauseous in the past few nights, but it has also honed this skill, and it is much smoother than before.
The flower building is open every night, and the gambling house downstairs is also more lively than before the evening, and the long night of the ghost domain is coming, and all the ghosts and monsters have come out to carnival, so it is not lively.
The melodious sound of the piano bursts, Xi Ci also adapted to the lifestyle of the ghost domain, and there is also fun in the busyness, after mingling with the red-faced ghosts, listening to the stories they got from other ghosts, there are sighs and sorrows, here is the meaning of the existence of the seven sufferings.
In a place on the corridor of the flower building, there is a red-faced ghost with clear eyebrows and colorful clothes sitting there alone drinking wine and admiring the soul star, which seems to be like this every night.
As the night drew to a close, she fell to the ground drunk, chewing on a name she had never heard before.
Xi Ci dragged her back to the room and placed her in a coffin, although the ghost did not know the temperature and was not afraid of the cold, but Xi Ci still habitually covered her with a futon.
The room is a silk that has been torn to shreds, such a preference only makes Xi Ci feel distressed, the silk is an expensive item in the mortal world, and it is not good to waste it like this.
"Sorry, it's you who are sorry for me......" She closed her eyes, her frowning brows contained painful grievances, and she seemed to have endless suffering.
Xi Ci stretched out his fingers and stroked her frowning brow, and only withdrew his hand after seeing that she was gradually calming down.
At the end, when Xi Ci exited the room and took the door, he looked up at the door number engraved with "Yuxi", thinking that the long night was finally over, so he turned around and went to the hall.
The ghosts were almost scattered, leaving only the drunken red-faced ghosts to tease each other.
Xi Ci walked over, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all silently, suddenly feeling refreshed.
"Yuxi is drunk again?" A red-faced ghost asked with a smile.
Xi Ci nodded and said, "Well, I've already sent her back to the room." ”
"Cut, if I were His Highness, I would never take her here." A red-faced ghost was indignant, and a few red-faced ghosts also nodded in agreement.
This move aroused Xi Ci's interest, and she leaned forward and said, "Why is this?" Is there an allusion? ”
"She has a sick brain, and she just met a person who is not lightly ill like her, and the two of them did all the evil things when they were alive, and then they were snubbed by the concubine and then teamed up with outsiders to destroy the summer, and the bad deeds are really terrible!" The red-faced ghost said with a look of disdain, if it weren't for His Highness's face, it would be impossible to live in peace with her.
"It's all a baseless slander spread by word of mouth, have you ever seen what she did?" The other red-faced ghost felt that she was too arbitrary, and she didn't feel that she was as prodigal as the legend when they got along with each other on weekdays.
Xici, who was a melon-eating crowd, scratched his head, listening to them arguing about another red-faced ghost for some reason.
At this time, a red-faced ghost who looked older pulled the stream and beckoned her to clean up the table with no ghost guests.
Xi Ci got up a little reluctantly, but she didn't move her pace, she liked the story the most.
Seeing this, the red-faced ghost pulled Xi Ci aside and said in a low voice: "Yu Xi is actually just a captive, for the survival of the clan, she was sacrificed to the enemy country like an animal, and many of the deeds that have been passed down since then have just been scandalized by later generations. ”
Xi Ci nodded in understanding, seeing that the group of red-faced ghosts were arguing more and more, he smiled helplessly, and began to sweep.
The soul stars outside the window were almost scattered, Xi Ci yawned and looked back at the hall that was already as clean as ever, and wanted to go back to his room to rest contentedly.
As soon as she turned around and was about to close the door, she saw Yuxi suddenly appearing in front of her, and scared Xi Ci so much that she almost went to see Hades.
"Thank you for these nights." Yu Xi said expressionlessly.
"You're welcome!" Xi Ci said politely with a dry smile.
Yuxi nodded lightly, turned around and floated out the door, Xi Ci patted her chest as she looked at her back as she left, soothing her frightened heart.
Xi Ci closed the door, walked down the winding corridor, and yawned again.
Seeing the long-lived tree that was growing well, Xi Ci was in a good mood.
She came to the kitchen and saw that China was delivering firewood to the stove, so she greeted her happily.
But after looking closely, I found that there was a place in the kitchen full of firewood: "Eh, why don't you put this in the firewood room?" ”
"The firewood room is full." China got up and stretched.
"Huh?" When did you have so much firewood, Xi Ci asked with a wink.
"Didn't you get injured when you went out to collect firewood? Your Highness ordered me to fill the firewood room. Chi Na said disappreciatively, it was originally a trivial matter, so there was no need to worry about it.
When Xi Ci heard this, he approached mysteriously: "Is Your Highness worried about me?" ”
Hearing this, Chi Na was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "You should ...... It's not enough to worry about him. ”
The world and the underworld run at both ends, and the day is very busy, and if she doesn't pay attention to Xici and runs out, Chi Na thinks she is troublesome, but she is embarrassed to say it.
Xi Ci glanced at him, looked at the red-faced ghosts who occasionally came and went outside, and said softly: "China, it seems that ghosts are not as terrible and bad as they imagined." ”
"They were also human beings, but they lingered because they regretted that they were not over, how terrible could they be? It's just terrifyingly fabricated by the imagination of mortals. Aka said disapprovingly.
She suddenly thought of Yu Xi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The red-faced ghosts don't seem to like that Yu Xi, and they are extremely puzzled by your Royal Highness's acceptance of her in Hualou. ”
"I can't discuss Your Highness's decision, but every ghost you see here has been a person who has been thinking about a living person for a long time, and the love-hate entanglement in it is still messy, just take a look, don't worry about it."
China's answer was both official and reasonable, and Xi Ci did not continue to ask.
The stars linger in the flower building, and the singing bursts into the heart.
Yuxi drank wine and admired the moon as always, and occasionally some male ghosts would talk to her, but she did not drive away the other party's face, but dealt with it indifferently.
The other party felt bored, and returned to the hall to drink with everyone.
Xi Ci was almost busy with the work at hand, so he jumped out of the hall, and saw Yu Xi in a place in the corridor of the flower building.
Yuxi drank wine alone, drunk on the moon, ignoring the noise and complexity, and her face was full of loneliness.
Xi Ci hesitated for a moment, walked to her side and sat down, Yu Xi glanced at her, pushed a jar of wine in front of Xi Ci, and still looked at the red moon silently.
"You haven't been in samsara, you're waiting...... Hip Tracks? Xi Ci hesitated for a while, but still asked.
I don't know who it is, but I think it's someone who can't let go of her.
Hearing this name come out of Xi Ci's mouth, she hesitated for a while, and after a long time, she smiled bitterly: "He has already entered reincarnation and reincarnated. ”
"And ...... you?" Xi Ci grabbed the jar with one hand, took a sip of wine and asked.
"You've heard what other people have to say about me, right?" Yuxi turned her head to look at her and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"It doesn't matter what others say, what matters is whether you've done any of these things?" Xi Ci asked, looking into her eyes.
"Oh, whatever the reason is a pale and feeble sophistry." Yuxi lay on the ground weakly, unwilling to admit and unable to deny, tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were deeply lonely and sad.
Before Shi Shi was attacked, she had drunk and stroked the piano and made a private agreement with her lover for life.
After the defeat of the army, Yu humbly begged for peace, sacrificing their cattle, sheep, horses and himself, and at that moment Yuxi felt that he was no different from livestock.
In order to have Shi's family, she will not be disobedient no matter what she asks her to do, as long as there is Shi's good, all sacrifices are nothing.
I thought that what he put into himself was all sincerity, but when he put aside all his resistance and sorrow and devoted himself to him, he realized that everything was a lie.
Bearing the infamy of the ages with him, she never defended it and was willing, but she didn't expect him to choose someone else in the end, but at that time she was already in love, and she didn't expect that her dealings with Yi Yin would lead to the death of Xia.
Yi Yin took pity on her as a captive and suffered a lot of grievances, and was depressed all day long, and that concubine was not only lascivious but also tyrannical, so he assisted Shang Tang to fight Xia.
The past was scattered and dusty, and the truth was no longer important, she knocked over the wine jar beside her with a wry smile, and said: "In my life, I am like an animal, and I am ridiculously wrong...... I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid that I will still be a human being in the next life, and I will be a person like an animal, and I can be given away at will, and I can be abandoned at will......"
Xi Ci picked up the overturned wine jar, leaned over to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Be a stone in the next life, live quietly and tenaciously." ”
"Little fox, I really envy you, you can still be so happy after living for 10,000 years......" Although Yu Xi is beautiful, her heart is unspeakably bitter, obviously the life span of mortals is so short, why can she be so miserable.
Xi Ci's eyes dimmed, and said: "I also have times of sorrow, but since I was a child, my father told me not to be reluctant, not to be arrogant, to be happy in time, whether it is merit or demerit will be judged by the juniors, and we should do our best in this life." ”
I miss my father, I don't know how my father is now, I don't know if my father-in-law can successfully achieve nirvana, and how will the revenge of Wanlingtang be avenged?
She is not as heartless as others see, but it is an unsolvable cycle to solve sorrow with sorrow.
Yuxi laughed and cried, her body trembled, Xi Ci leaned over and hugged her, she cried even more presumptuously, as if she was venting her grievances for so many years.
"The wind and the moon are stacked and sad, drink a few cups alone, look at the mountain, Qing is not there, and the empty ......"
There was a lingering tune in the hall, the sound of the piano was endless, and the sound of the tactful and melodious echoed in this ghost domain, and the soul star lingered around the entire flower building like a river.
Yu Xi pillowed Xi Ci's legs and began to fall asleep, Xi Ci looked up at the red moon, the lingering sound from the hall, unconsciously hummed along, and at the end, grabbed the jar and drank the wine, and then she also lay on the ground......
