Chapter 20: Ghosts and Immortals

Qi Fan asked curiously.

"Cuilan, where did you buy the osmanthus cake in this world?"

Cuilan puffed out her mouth unconvinced.

"Where did I buy this, I made it myself."

"Moreover, this is not osmanthus cake, how can there be osmanthus cake in the underworld, this is the flower cake on the other side."

Qi Fan almost threw up in surprise.

"Aren't the flowers on the other side all red, and the legend is that they were formed by absorbing the resentment and blood in the Lechuan River?"

Cuilan pouted dissatisfiedly, "Look, is this a red pastry?" ”

Only then did Qi Fan discover that there were white petals inside the pastry.

He hurriedly stuffed a few more pieces into his mouth, he didn't want to anger the person who was kind enough to bring him refreshments.

Cuilan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Qi Fan's appearance, and then stared at the pastries on the table with her arms on her hands and said with a sad face.

"Actually, there is a legend about the other side of the flower.

The white flower is called a mandala flower.

The red flower is called Manju Sahua.

So you're eating Manjurohua cake.

They were originally a pair of lovers, the man was a fairy, and the woman was a ghost.

One day, the man came to the underworld to pick an elixir called 'dragon grass'.

This 'dragon grass is quite mysterious, has the effect of reviving the dead, and is also an indispensable material for refining a taste of immortal medicine.

The so-called 'dragon grass grass' is actually no different from ordinary grass, but the saliva of the real dragon drips on it, which becomes such a mysterious thing.

And the true dragon, as one of the four holy beasts, is quite noble, with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, and only the old dragon is looking for a secluded place in the realm when he is about to die, and only when he is dying, the dragon snake flows out of his mouth, so this grass is very precious.

On the way to find the dragon grass, that heavenly immortal strayed into the land of the Nine Shadows.

The land of nine secluded places, pure yin and no yang, mountains do not grow grass, peaks do not insert the sky, mountains do not visit, caves do not accept clouds, and streams do not flow water.

The solitary yang is not born, and the solitary yin does not grow.

That heavenly immortal was already suppressed by the ghost qi of the underworld, and when he strayed into such a dangerous place, the immortal power gradually dissipated, and he would soon fall into the Nine Shadows, and he would never be reincarnated.

At this time, the ghost immortal came to Jiuyou to do business, found this immortal, and rescued this immortal.

As soon as they saw each other, they fell in love, and they formed a friendship for a hundred years, and decided to stay in this netherworld forever.

When the Yue Lao of the Heavenly Court inspected the Moon Tree, he found this pair of immortals and ghosts, so he gave the Jade Emperor.

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was furious.

So he sent the heavenly soldiers to arrest the two, and the heavenly soldiers first beat the two to pieces, and then sent the two to the nether world to reincarnate.

But the two are unwilling to forget this sincere relationship.

So on the way to the Nai He Bridge, both of them scattered their souls on their own, scattered in this netherworld.

So a red and white flower appeared in the netherworld.

Legend has it that after countless reincarnations, one day King Jizo Bodhisattva made a great wish and came to the netherworld.

I saw a flower on the ground with extraordinary bearing, red and white, and it was very beautiful.

So the Jizo King Bodhisattva came to it and looked at it carefully, and just by looking at it, he saw the mystery.

So I wanted to bring this flower to the Cuiyun Palace on the other side.

However, when crossing the Lechuan River, the river accidentally touched the placket of the Zao Bodhisattva's clothes, and the flowers in his arms were also wet.

It was only on the other side that King Jizo discovered that the original red and white flowers had faded to red and turned into pure white colors.

Lethe River has always had the ability to absorb ghost energy.

The flowers that have been faded by the river drip all the red into the river, and they continue to wail all day long, which makes people hear and mourn.

King Jizo Bodhisattva knew that this was his own doing, and he didn't want the red color to dissipate.

So he used his great magic power to turn the red color into a seed and planted it by the Lechuan River.

Since then, there have been two completely different flowers in the world, one grows on the other side, and the other is born on the Lethe River.

Across the river, never to be seen. ”

Qi Fan asked curiously, "Then why didn't the Jizo King Bodhisattva restore the two flowers together without great magical powers?" ”

Cuilan shook her head and said helplessly.

"Everything that the Buddha does, he pays attention to the Dharma."

Then he continued to hold his head and said with a sad face.

"Maybe I'm waiting for them to get the fate."

Qi Fan let out an "oh" and continued to concentrate on dealing with these few pieces of flower cakes, I have to say that Cuilan's craftsmanship is really good.

Suddenly, Cuilan turned her head to stare at Qi Fan and said with a serious face.

"Will an adult be my fate?"

Qi Fan was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair, and then Cuilan ran out of Qi Fan's room with a flushed face.

Qi Fan looked at the flower cake in his hand blankly.

The love of immortals and ghosts, if this is known by the heavenly court, it is not allowed to peel off the skin and bones, and the soul will be reduced to the nine shadows.

Thinking of this, Qi Fan couldn't help but feel a cold air rushing from his backbone to the Baihui acupoint above his head.

Hurriedly put down the pastry in his hand, sat down on the bed with a roll, and meditated.

This matter was so big that Qi Fan didn't dare to think about it.

I don't know what kind of madness this Nizi is, why she suddenly said such a thing.

Qi Fan didn't pay attention to it so much, and continued to adjust his state of mind.

He couldn't figure it out, it had only been a few days.

Why is it like this, maybe this is the ghost.

If he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to think about it, what happened in the past two days is a bit much in his tens of thousands of years of Heavenly Court career.

Now you have to adjust your mood well, and the most taboo thing for immortal cultivators is that their mood is disturbed by the outside world.

The day of meditation is always so fast, and it is time for the hour again.

Qi Fan put on the judge's uniform and continued to sit in the lobby.

The days of looking through the dossier are always so boring.

Looking at Cuilan's tender eyes, Qi Fan felt very helpless.

wrote a statement and sent someone to send it to the Wheel King, which was the previous statement about Dong Da's reversal.

According to the normal procedures of the underworld, as long as the Wheel King approves the note, Qi Fan's side can directly change the sentence.

After a while, the messenger came back, and the note was successfully approved.

But that Yin cha also brought back an edict from the Wheel King, so that Qi Fan could rush to the Wheel Palace.

Qi Fan took the edict suspiciously and asked the Yin Wheel King what else he said.

Cuilan next to him came up, "What can he know, Yan Jun has never said anything to Yincha." This edict has the stamp of the Wheel King on it, which is a stamp that only the official edict will have, so you should be careful. ”

After speaking, he looked at Qi Fan with a worried face.

Qi Fan thought to himself, could it be that yesterday's incident was stabbed to the Wheel King?

This Jiang Wushen is really speechless.

has lived for thousands of years, and still learns the way children fight and sue their parents.

With the slander in his heart, Qi Fan came to the Wheel Palace.

In the middle sat the Wheel King, beside him was the previous Judge Li, and the strange thing was that the other Yin Errands, Gong Cao, and the paperwork were not there.

The huge palace, now there are just three of them.
