Chapter 78: The Truth of the Underworld
"What?"
Jiang Shan was dumbfounded.
Ting Yan said, "I said that she is the person chosen by heaven, not only a reform official, but also a glimmer of life in the underworld. ”
"I don't understand ......" Jiang Shan shook his head frantically as if he had been struck by lightning.
"I've only told the five of them about it."
"Now that the six realms are declining and the gods have fallen, only the underworld has escaped because of my deep sleep, but do you think the underworld can really be spared from this disaster?"
"The underworld will eventually fall like the heavenly court, and at that time, the ghosts and gods will no longer exist."
"Even I will die in this world, and Yuan Xi, she is the only glimmer of life revealed by Tianji who can save the underworld."
"My time is short, and after I go through the tribulation, she will lead the entire underworld, and the fate of the underworld will be in her hands."
So, what are you jealous of and fighting for? She didn't threaten your status at all, and even came to intercede for you. ”
"And what did you do? Jiang Shan, your future. The heavy burden on your shoulders has been buried today because of your thoughts. ”
Jiang Shan's eyes were red, he covered his ears, and he hardly dared to listen to it anymore.
Did he really do something wrong?
But if he had been told earlier......
Without these, he forgot. Only the Four Great Ghost Emperors were qualified to know about this.
Jiang Shan closed his eyes and sat down on the ground, "I was wrong......"
Ting Yan didn't want to look at him again.
"You should have become a ghost emperor in 300 years."
"But now you have injured more than 1,000 lives, and according to the laws of the underworld, you should be scattered."
*
Since he came back, Yuan Xi has been sitting in the office, looking ahead with blank eyes.
The audience in the live broadcast room has been watching the same picture for two hours, and they thought she was stuck.
[I eat big watermelon: what's wrong with the child? Silly? It didn't move for two hours. 】
[Potato chips potato chips potato chips head: It's sad, after all, so many people have died, even the reform officials of the prefecture can't save them. 】
[Want to eat watermelon: immersive live broadcast.] Bloggers, don't be sad, maybe everything is predestined, their life and death are their fate, it has nothing to do with you, just do your own thing. 】
[Enchanting Malatang: Ah, what about the Emperor, quickly call the Emperor over to comfort our reform officer, you can find the suspect in the shortest possible time, and you have already saved many people. 】
……
Yuan Xi's eyes were empty, and he didn't see the words in the live broadcast room at all.
She just stared ahead, completely in her own world.
That yin was sent by Jiang Shan, and she had already guessed it.
She still remembers that at the half-year report meeting, Jiang Shan let go of her cruel words.
She had been on guard, because Jiang Shan would come to harm herself, but she never thought that so many lives would be involved.
There are so many living people, more than 1,000 lives.
Even if it's Jiang Shan, what is he doing?
Isn't it because of her in the end?
If she could have found out earlier, if she had resolved the conflict with Jiang Shan earlier, maybe those people would not have died.
More than 1,000 lives and more than 1,000 broken families.
Among those who died, there were old people who were known to be in old age, young people, and people who had just started working. There are students who have never stepped into society, and even children, who can obviously live for a long time, and they can still see the birds and flowers in the sun, and the bright sunshine.
But now it's all gone.
And the families behind those people, there are children who have lost their parents and become orphans, wives who have lost their husbands, and parents who have lost the students who have nurtured them for many years, because of the death of these people, there may be many people who have lost their pillars of life and cannot live.
If Jiang Shan has to bear these sins because of this, he will be scattered to repay them. And what about her? She should also be thrown into the Infernal Hell to experience the despair of those people, and she should pay for those sins.
Even if it wasn't the people she killed, they died indirectly because of her.
That's more than 1,000 people.
Yuan Xi closed his eyes and buried his head in his knees.
Why couldn't she have found out earlier?
One more day, another month, could have prevented this catastrophe from happening.
Maybe she could save more than 1,000 lives.
But why didn't she find out earlier?
Yuan Xi fell into deep self-blame, and the persuasion of the barrage in the live broadcast room seemed to be completely invisible, and she was completely trapped in her own world.
I was alone for a long time, and the phone in the office came out.
Yuan Xi picked it up.
It's a god.
"Don't be too sad and upset." Shen Tu said dryly, "It's Jiang Shan who is wrong, not you." ”
Yuan Xi was dumbfounded.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Why doesn't it have anything to do with me?" I knew that he was jealous of me, and I knew that he was trying to frame me, and I should have noticed it a long time ago. As early as that report meeting, he revealed this meaning, and if I had been wary of him at that time, I might not have ended up in such a field. ”
"No, it should have been even earlier. On that day, I shouldn't have spoken ill of him, maybe it was that day that I ridiculed him and made him have this plan. ...... even more so than before"
Shen Tu frowned and interrupted her thoughts, more and more boundless words.
"It's he who has a mind that shouldn't be, he gets into the horns, and he's jealous of your status, but what does this have to do with you? It is the meaning of heaven for you to be a reformer, and this is something that no one can change. ”
"You've interceded for him, and you've tried to change him. But you also know that after all, it is a catastrophe that he can't overcome, maybe he is destined to be like this. ”
"And you, the reformer of the underworld. You should cheer up, the ghosts of the underworld are still waiting for you to save, is it because of those more than 1,000 lives, you have abandoned the ghosts of the entire underworld? ”
"You should cheer up, you have properly placed more than 1,000 new ghosts, there are still so many things to deal with in the underworld, and you still have the great task of transforming the entire underworld, urban planning, transportation, high-rise buildings, reinforced concrete...... Have you forgotten all this? ”
"The underworld is still waiting for you."
Yuan Xi's whole body was trembling, and she said, "Am I really worthy of being this reformer?" ”
"Of course, you are destined by God, and no one can shake your position. And didn't you notice that since you came to the underworld, the whole underworld has become vibrant, and everyone is particularly motivated? The previous underworld was numb and hopeless, but since you came, there is hope in the underworld. ”
"Now take care of your mood, don't you want to renovate hell? They are all waiting for you. ”
"Don't be sad."
Yuan Xi raised his head.
Yes, her reform official position is destined by God, where does she have time to be sad and sad? The underworld is in ruins, and everything is waiting for her to deal with.
Many decisions awaited her.
She still has a lot of unfinished business, how can she just slump like this?
"Thank you, Jiang Shan." Yuan Xi finally smiled, "You really look like a dog." ”
"What is this called? When did I stop looking like a person? No, you're scolding me, aren't you? I'll be ...... next time you see me."
"Thank you." Yuan Xi's voice finally had some lightness meaning.
On the other side of the phone, Shen Tu smiled helplessly, "Okay, I don't know when I see you next time?" Go ahead and get busy. ”
Yuan Xi sorted out her mood, opened the door of the office, and was about to leave.
How are the 1,000 ghosts housed?
Thinking about this, she didn't look at the road, and as soon as she opened the door, she was caught off guard and hit a wall of flesh.
Yuan Xibang was dizzy and looked up.
"Your Majesty?"
In those dark eyes, Yuan Xi saw a trace of sadness that he didn't have time to hide for the first time.
"He's gone."
Yuan Xi knew who he was talking about.
She paused, "I haven't had time to clear up the misunderstanding with him yet. ”
"Actually, I never wanted to go against him......"
"I know, I know."
Ting Yan's voice was a little low.
"It seems that fate is really impermanent, and even I didn't expect that he would eventually go to that point of no return." Ting Yan's voice was faint, "I already knew that there was a catastrophe in his life, that time, you offered to send him to school and let him learn what truth, goodness and beauty, I thought I could avoid the disaster of his fate, but fate cannot be violated after all." ”
"However, he no longer has any jealousy for you before he died, and he said, let me say sorry to you."
"If so, how nice?" Yuan Xi said.
The two men were relatively speechless, and neither spoke.
After a while, Yuan Xi temporarily blocked the live broadcast room.
"I've always had a question for you."
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi plucked up the courage and finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time, "It's not that you don't like me, you don't dare to like me, right?" ”
Ting Yan didn't speak.
"I've guessed it all. At that time, the gods all said, the six realms are declining, the gods of the heavenly court have fallen, and you are the last god in this world. ”
"And you will not be spared after all, and the underworld will not be spared."
Ting Yan's eyes trembled slightly, and his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say at this time.
"Have you forgotten? All the yin qi I use comes from you, and I can feel that this yin qi seems to be getting thinner and weaker. ”
"You're about to disappear into the world, aren't you?"
"So you don't dare to love me, because maybe your time is short, and I still have a lot of time. But the two people who are going against each other go farther and farther, and although they intersect, the two can never meet again. ”
"The same goes for the underworld. During this time, you have been emphasizing that I am the reform officer chosen by Tianji, and I have been thinking, why does the underworld need a reform officer? Obviously, for five or six thousand years, he has been running well, and it seems that he has never needed to carry out any reforms, so why did a reform official suddenly appear? ”
So I thought, is this reformer really necessary? Now I understand. I'm the one who can save the hell, right? ”
Ting Yan nodded and said in a dumb voice, "Yes." Tianji said that you are the one who may save the underworld. ”
"So you must take on this heavy responsibility, your single thought may affect the entire underworld."
"How could it be me?" Yuan Xi muttered.
"How can I be able to take on this heavy responsibility? I couldn't even save those 1,000 people in advance, I was just a very, very ordinary college student. ”
"No, you're not ordinary, and since you've chosen, you can't go wrong. Heavenly Dao must have his own arrangements, and you don't have to be pressured, just be yourself. ”
Yuan Xi blinked, and those eyes that were originally dripping and slippery were still dimmed after all.
Ting Yan sighed, "I didn't want you to know so early. I would have liked...... Wait, when I am about to dissipate, I will tell you all this, and then you will not be lost. You won't feel like you can't afford this responsibility, but by then, you've grown into a qualified landlord. I can also hand over the underworld to you with peace of mind, and close my eyes with peace of mind. ”
"I didn't expect that the person chosen by the heavenly machine was so smart, and now you have guessed it yourself."
Yuan Xi raised his eyes and looked at him, "You really hate it." ”
"I didn't know the truth so late, you should have told me at the beginning."
"I've been speculating about this for so long, and you know I've been searching for clues, right?"
Ting Yan nodded, "But I don't want to stop you, all of this is arranged." You know it or not, maybe it's also in the dark, it's predestined, I don't want to interfere with you. ”
"Yuan Xi, you must grow into the person who can take responsibility, so that I can rest assured that the underworld will be in your hands."
Ting Yan leaned down and looked her straight into the eyes.
"You can do it, right?"
He lowered his head and saw the watery eyes, which were now filled with tears.
The pain was deep, and she burned her soul and shed two bloody tears.
Ting Yan was at a loss, he hurriedly channeled his yin qi to Yuan Xi, wanting to protect her from any harm.
"I really hate you."
Ting Yan curled the corners of his mouth, just about to answer.
Suddenly, Yuan Xi jumped up, wrapped his two arms around his neck, and threw himself straight into his arms.
She closed her eyes and pressed her two slightly cool lips to them without hesitation.
In an instant, all the sounds suddenly disappeared, and between heaven and earth, only the person in front of him remained.
She was so petite, so light, like a petal, like a butterfly wing, but she could carry so much power.
In an instant, the heartbeat was like thunder in my ears, as if the tight strings suddenly broke.
Ting Yan could no longer ignore his feelings.
It was as if a wild beast was roaring in my heart.
I couldn't ignore the thunderous heartbeat anymore.
He had no choice but to admit that he was about to degenerate and become human.
Inanimate things grow flesh and blood from passionate love.
It turns out that this is how the heart beats violently, so is he a god or a human now?
Gods shouldn't have a heartbeat.
He should have understood it a long time ago, but he didn't understand it until now.
It was as if an urgent voice was telling him that his arm should be pressed against him, and he was holding the man tightly in his arms.
It didn't look like a kiss at all.
It's like two stones bumping together.
smashed directly into his lips, making him dizzy, as if he had forgotten all his identity and status.
Those two bloody tears flowed into his mouth, which was the first time Ting Yan had tasted the taste of tears.
It turns out that the tears between the same people are general, and they are also bitter.
It's astringent.
It was as if his body was going to freeze.
Tears are bitter, and so is love.
Why do people in the world yearn for love so much? It's obviously miserable.
It's really bitter.
Ting Yan couldn't say a word.
couldn't give up the strength to push her away, so he could only freeze in place, passively bearing Yuan Xi's warm love.
What should he do, what should he respond? Maybe he shouldn't have responded, maybe he should have said something.
At the moment, he had no idea.
It was a long, long time before he seemed to regain his strength.
And he didn't push away the small and light body.
The two arms were raised, slowly but surely encircling the girl's slender waist.
- If he deserves this calamity in his life, then let him go.
The girl's closed eyes suddenly opened, and her shocked eyes crashed into those dark eyes.
The strength that suddenly jumped up and hugged others just now seemed to suddenly disperse, and the feeling of shyness came later.
Yuan Xi suddenly moved his lips away.
"You, how do you ......"
Ting Yan put his chin on her head and took her into his arms more firmly.
His voice was hoarse, "Now you're going to face it with me." ”
Yuan Xi nodded.
"No, not now, a long, long time ago, I had this realization, and I will stand side by side with you."
"Don't underestimate me, I'm pretty good sometimes. I'm going to grow up to be what you say I am. I am willing to fight side by side with you and work together to save the underworld. ”
Ting Yan looked at her and suddenly smiled.
Yuan Xi saw him smile for the first time, and when he smiled, it was as if the ice and snow had melted and everything had lost its color.
"I like you." Yuan Xi blinked his eyes and said involuntarily, "Your Majesty, you just obey me." ”
Ting Yan did not answer.
Yuan Xi found that his ears were quietly climbing a touch of crimson.
It turns out that the gods are shy, too.
Yuan Xi let go and hugged his hand.
"Ahem, although you are in love now, I still have important things to do." Yuan Xi said.
"Do you want to place a thousand new ghosts?" Ting Yan asked.
"Hmm."
"I'll go with you." Ting Yan let go of her and said, "After all, if you count it down, I am also one of the links in Jiang Shan's mistake. ”
The two of them went downstairs together.
"At least it's a crime of lax governance, right?"
Although the 1,000 ghosts ended their lives on their own, according to the original laws of the underworld, they should be thrown into hell and repay the number of lives they should have, so that they can continue to wait for the next reincarnation.
But they were not voluntary, but were seduced and coerced, and it stands to reason that their sentences should be commuted.
Ting Yan said, "At that time, the promise you made to Yang Rong has been fulfilled, and before it dissipates, Jiang Shan repaid his mistakes and took off his dreams for those who were bewitched, and now the world has returned to normal." ”
