Book 1: After 22 years, new troubles
There was a crisp knock outside the door, and if you listened carefully, it was Wen Ruyu's voice.
Recalling Wen Ruyu's words at the banquet, Meng Xingxue opened the door directly without hesitation.
Facing him, it was Wen Ruyu's happy face and gentle eyes.
"Ali, I knew you were here."
When he walked into the courtyard, he saw a faintly glowing soul in the courtyard.
Closing the door, Meng Xingxue asked, "Can you really save them?" Their flesh is crushed, and Hades will judge by the events of their lives, even if I am... You can't violate the rules of the ghost world. ”
Wen Ruyu stepped forward, glanced at the souls, and said, "Ah Li, I can't resurrect them, but I can purify their souls for a chance to reincarnate." ”
Hearing this, Meng Xingxue's eyes lit up, "Really? ”
Wen Ruyu bowed slightly: "Seriously." ”
"Will it expose you?" She asked cautiously, expectantly and worriedly.
Wen Ruyu shook her head: "No." ”
Meng Xingxue put down the newcomer at this time, grabbed Wen Ruyu's hand, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you Ayu, thank you very much." ”
Staring at the slender jade hand holding her wrist, Wen Ruyu's cheeks flushed crimson.
After a while, Meng Xingxue formed a magic circle on the ground, and the clansmen sat together, Wen Ruyu sat cross-legged, living in the center of the magic circle.
"Ah Li, I'm going to start, it may take a long time, you help me protect the Fa."
"Okay."
Wen Ruyu bowed slightly, her expression was grim, and she began to use the spiritual power of the Yin Body.
His body was glowing with golden points of light, which became more and more intense, scattered into several golden wires to imprison the Meng clan, and began to transmit spiritual power in a steady stream.
Gradually, the souls of the Meng clan flickered and brightened, gradually exuding layers of black qi, and their faces also showed a look of pain.
The sky was getting brighter, and a glimmer of morning light appeared from the other side of the mountain, sprinkled in the courtyard.
As the golden light faded, the Purification Ritual was completed.
Wen Ruyu opened her eyes, sighed heavily, and raised her hand to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Done?" Meng Xingxue couldn't wait to ask.
In fact, there was no need for Wen Ruyu to answer, and the clear soul bodies of the Meng clan people could be seen that the black qi surrounding them had long since disappeared.
Meng Xingxue stepped forward to help Wen Ruyu up, and said happily: "Ayu, thank you." ”
Wen Ruyu's face turned a little pale, and she shook her head weakly: "It's okay, I'm very happy to help you." ”
She helped Wen Ruyu to sit on the chair, and then took off her coat and wrapped it under Wen Ruyu's arm, so that his head would rest on his arm, so that he would not be touched by the uneven face of the stone table.
Looking at the purified clansmen, the corners of Meng Xingxue's mouth rose uncontrollably.
Finally, there is still a chance to make up for it.
"How do you feel?"
The clansmen looked at each other and bowed in unison: "Thank you, master, thank you, Gongzi Wen." ”
Wen Ruyu was already powerless, and smiled in response.
Meng Xingxue said: "No thanks, you don't blame me, I'm already very happy." ”
After a pause, she added, "I'll send you to the ghost realm, and the king of Hades knows that you are my people and will give you a good place to go." ”
Ah Xiu stepped forward and stood one step away from Meng Xingxue, "Xiaoxue, actually thank you..."
"Okay, Ah Xiu, it's all over, I don't want to mention it anymore." She interrupted what Ah Xiu was about to say in time.
Ah Xiu understood in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.
Subsequently, Meng Xingxue cast a spell to send the clansmen to the ghost realm, and sent another word to the king of Hades.
After everything was done, the twisted rope in her heart could finally be loosened, and looking sideways, Wen Ruyu was still sleeping soundly.
She leaned on the edge of the stone table, tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes slightly, and was a little tired.
I thought that after settling down with the clansmen, she would be able to stay away from the mortal world.
But now, I'm afraid I can't.
Ouyang Changkong snatched the bloodstone and refined her clansmen into murderous corpses.
This debt will eventually be recovered.
"Ah Li, did you already know my identity?" On the way back to the academy, Wen Ruyu suddenly asked.
"I didn't know it very early, before the hunt." Meng Xingxue didn't hide it anymore, and asked again: "When did you know my identity?" ”
Wen Ruyu smiled when she heard this: "I was earlier than you, since you entered the ghost realm to save me back to the world, I will know?" ”
Meng Xingxue was curious: "So... I cast a spell to clear your memory, but I didn't clear it? ”
Wen Ruyu smiled and shook her head.
Meng Xingxue let out a 'hmm', and the tail note was long: "It is worthy of being the body of the yin." ”
"You have to keep it a secret."
"Nature."
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"No, it's just Ali."
"It's an honor, I'll protect you in the future."
In the afternoon, the streets of Sun Moon City are still lively, as far as the eye can see, the whole street is full of dazzling goods, the sound of selling one after another is endless, and the air is filled with the fragrance of snacks, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
"Your Highness, look at this."
"It's too flowery."
"Where's this?"
"It's too glamorous."
The attendant Wang Wei scratched his head, and picked up another purse embroidered with mandarin ducks, "What about this?" ”
Yu Ting glanced at him, and a sentence of 'too ugly' floated over.
Wang Wei put down his purse and chased after him, "Your Highness, what are you looking for?" ”
The court was silent, just staring ahead, looking very seriously.
"What are you looking at?" Looking along his line of sight, he saw that on the food stall not far away, Meng Xingxue and Wen Ruyu were munching on wontons.
Wang Wei scratched his temples, "Isn't this the arrogant kid from last night?" ”
Yu Ting hooked his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "I found it." ”
"Huh?" Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he saw the imperial court walking towards Meng Xingxue and the others.
"Young Master Wen, what a coincidence."
Turning his head, the man was wearing a golden brocade robe, graceful and luxurious, with a high crown of hair, and his appearance was extremely handsome.
"Imperial Court?"
"Presumptuous, you dare to call our Highness by name."
Meng Xingxue glanced at Wang Wei and rolled her eyes, very disdainful.
Wang Wei glared angrily, and just wanted to argue for two sentences, he was stopped by the imperial court, "Wen Gongzi is not strange, he is abrupt." ”
Meng Xingxue took a sip of soup and asked, "The second prince has something to do with me?" ”
The court chuckled and was silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"What?"
"Can you take a step to speak?"
For the sake of the imperial court helping him speak last night, Meng Xingxue thought about it, and followed him to the box of the Sun Moon Restaurant without shirking.
In her memory, she didn't seem to have anything to do with this person, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Wen Li, who had been imprisoned for fourteen years, would know the second prince of the Royal Beast Country.
"Please."
Meng Xingxue bowed slightly, sat down and poured herself a glass of wine.
"Mr. Wen likes to drink a lot?"
"Occasionally."
Mitei smiled and nodded in response.
Until the dishes were complete, the imperial court did not say a word, he didn't say anything, Meng Xingxue naturally remained silent.
After about a cup of tea, the imperial court spoke, but his straightforwardness made Meng Xingxue almost squirt out the wine that he had time to swallow in his mouth.
He said: "Lord Ghost King, look up for a long time. ”
Meng Xingxue coughed a few times, her eyes flashed with surprise, and she hahad: "Are you calling me?" ”
Yu Ting nodded and said firmly, "Yes, Lord Ghost King." ”
"Stop." Meng Xingxue interrupted him in time, pursed her lips, and said, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand what the ghost king is. ”
Yu Ting chuckled, took a sip of wine, and said unhurriedly: "This king was friends with Xiaobai when he was a child. ”
Hearing this, Meng Xingxue smiled helplessly.
I knew I shouldn't have told the truth to that stupid horse in the first place.
Now that she knows, she doesn't pretend to be stupid: "So that stupid horse told you everything?" ”
"I didn't say much."
"It didn't even tell you about that, and it didn't say much?"
Meng Xingxue rolled her eyes, and secretly swore in her heart that the next time she met Xiaobai, she would beat her up first.
Dare to poke out such a big thing casually, is it because she has lived too long?
"I hope the Ghost King doesn't blame Xiaobai, it's also kind."
Meng Xingxue was happy: "Kind? The second prince is really good at talking. ”
After a pause, she added, "So you're looking for me for this?" What are your intentions? Do you want to blackmail me or..."
"No, you're mistaken." Yu Ting interrupted her, her expression changed slightly, and she was a little lonely.
"It's me, I ask you for something."
The sudden plea of the imperial court made Meng Xingxue a little stunned.
She was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "No, the second prince of the dignified Royal Beast Kingdom, sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, with a beautiful woman in his arms, what can I ask for." Although I am the king of ghosts, to put it bluntly, I will take care of ghost affairs, and I can't control human affairs. ”
I saw that Yuting snorted, swallowed his saliva, and bowed his head to her, "Please." ”
This bow frightened Meng Xingxue.
She pursed her lips, scratched her head again, and raised her chin: "Let's talk about it first." ”
Yu Ting raised his eyes, a pair of dark eyes glowing with melancholy, "Please help me check someone with the Ghost King." ”
"Who?"
"My princess, Xiu Yunxin."
Meng Xingxue frowned, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Isn't she dead?" ”
Yu Ting nodded: "Yes, he died five years ago." ”
"People who died five years ago are now probably reincarnated."
"I just want you to find out if she went to hell after she died five years ago."
Meng Xingxue was slightly stunned, a little unpredictable.
After death, there are indeed some people who are greedy for mortal dust and are unwilling to leave, but there is a time limit, if you do not report to the ghost world after this time limit, black and white impermanence will come to lock people in person.
It wasn't difficult for her to check a soul, but the fact that the Imperial Court was like this made her feel that things were not so simple.
"I can help you, it's kind of repaying your love last night." After a pause, she asked, "But... Mind if I understand why? ”
The court bowed its head and was silent.
Seeing this, Meng Xingxue didn't have a hobby that was difficult for others, so he didn't ask again.
"You help me protect the Fa, and I'll help you check." As she spoke, she sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.
"Thank you."
After a stick of incense, Meng Xingxue opened her eyes.
"Did you find it?" Yuting's eyes were full of anticipation, and he asked busily.
"Got it."
"How?" Gotei can't wait to find out.
Meng Xingxue twisted her eyebrows and said: "She has reached the end of her life, but she still stays in the world, and the strange thing is that black and white impermanence has not found her soul." ”
Hearing this, there was a flash of joy in Yu Ting's eyes, but Meng Xingxue didn't catch it.
"Why the hell are you looking this up all of a sudden?"
The royal court did not answer directly, but stood up and bowed to her: "Thank you, Lord Ghost King, I owe you a favor for this matter, if there is a chance in the future, I will..."
"Alright, alright." Meng Xingxue interrupted him and stood up on the table: "You helped me last night, I helped you today, once you come and go, I'll leave if it's okay." ”
When asked, she didn't want to reply positively, and in that case, she didn't need to stay.
As for the matter of cultivating Yunxin, the ghost world has the rules of the ghost world, and the judge will deal with it.
