Chapter 145 It’s Not Easy to Be a Ghost Messenger in the Underworld (6)
Shi Qi came back to his senses and shook off Di Liao's hand.
"Tsk, you run away after using it. I dislike you. You are so cold and boring all day long!" Di Liao withdrew his hand and said unhappily.
Shi Qi ignored it and floated towards somewhere.
Sure enough, when I arrived in the human world, I was really in a soul state.
Then how should she eat the food in the palace? Otherwise, before she goes to collect souls...she should ask Mo Xuan to cook some for her?
Isn't it a bit immoral? After all, she wants to take his life.
But it seems like a good idea to establish good relationships in advance.
After all, when they go to hell together after seducing the souls, she can also... explain?
Just as I was struggling with this, I heard an exclamation from behind.
"Please wait for me, it's dark and eerie here, I'm scared!" Di Liao looked around, shuddered all over, and hurriedly chased after him.
Shi Qi:......
What is there for a ghost like you to be afraid of?
......
On the other side, Naihe Bridge.
The woman picked up the bowl, scooped up Meng Po soup, and waited quietly for the approaching soul, her face was frosty and without any warmth.
"Meng Po, can I... not drink this bowl of Meng Po soup? I really... don't want to forget him."
The soul that came was an ancient woman.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling, her face was beautiful and refreshing, and her clothes were elegant and luxurious. At first glance, she was obviously a lady from a wealthy family.
Meng Nianchan opened her lips slightly, her expression cold: "Then jump into the Wangchuan River, stare at him for a thousand years, and reincarnate after a thousand years."
The woman seemed frightened, tears flashing in her eyes, so pitiful: "Grandma, can you...can you help me? It's so painful to watch him pass by for a thousand years. Can you...help me? You have a way, right?"
Meng Nianchan saw the hand on her sleeve, frowned slightly, and shook it off without leaving a trace: "No, you should forget it as soon as possible, young lady."
The woman looked abandoned, looking at the soup handed to her, bitter and suppressed: "Mother-in-law has never experienced the pain of love. How dare I ask you to understand her with such coldness!? He loves me, so I will look at him! I won't drink this soup!"
After the woman finished speaking, she smashed the bowl, covered her face and ran away, then jumped into the Forgotten River with a determined look.
In an instant, the soul sank into the dark green and glowing River Styx, the surface of the river was slightly rippling with dots of fluorescence.
Love? If he happens to love you... that would be fine.
The soup on the ground had long since dissipated. The woman withdrew her gaze, her face calm, as she picked up the broken bowl on the ground.
After a moment, a golden mark appeared on his hand.
'Xuanguo, the young lady of the Li family - Li Yan, the Wangchuan River opens, staring at it for a thousand years.'
Just as she was about to get up as usual, she suddenly saw the words "Xuan Guo". The woman trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something, and quickly ran towards somewhere.
Meng Nianchan hurried to Xuantong Gate with the soul-soothing talisman.
But she found that the two had already left. She looked at the talisman in her hand and frowned slightly.
Why didn't Master Qi tell her? He didn't even have time to give her the soul-soothing charm.
Forget it, she will go there in a few days.
I always feel that things are not as stable as they seem recently.
Those who have attacked Shi Qi will definitely look for another opportunity.
"Hey, isn't this Meng Po? How many times have you been on strike? Every time it's because of Master Qi Er. Has she ever thanked you in the slightest? People like that are cold-blooded and vicious. You'd better stay away from them as soon as possible to avoid being implicated one day."
The patrolling ghost saw Meng Nianchan in front of the door and joked.
The woman put away the talisman in her hand, her face cold and she did not answer.
"Okay, aren't you worried? She is so powerful, it would be a joke if she can't hook the soul, right? Haha, if she can't hook it, forget about surviving in this underworld." The ghost laughed.
Meng Nianchan heard Yinchai's sarcastic tone and her face became even colder.
After a moment, she opened her pink lips and said, "It's easy for Master Qi to do things, but you are not like me. You must be extremely bored in this underworld where you can't get out."
"You! Humph, you won't listen to my advice. You will end up in trouble if you follow her!" The ghost was furious. He pointed at the woman angrily, snorted coldly and left.
Meng Nianchan's eyes turned cold, and she flicked her sleeves, and a thin ray of light quickly penetrated into the body of the ghost.
She holds grudges very well, especially...the grudges that others hold against Shi Qi.
No more staying, turn around and leave.
After a while, the Yinchai fell to the ground, rolling over and over, shouting with a bitter smile: "Meng Nianchan! You...you haha, why are you so stingy!? Haha, I'm just...I'm just teasing her...Haaaaah, it itches me to death! Damn it! What's so good about that ugly thing? You are so...protective of her! Ah!!!"
The ghost rolled over and over on the ground, trembling all over, and fainted while shouting with tears in the corners of his eyes.
Finally, he was discovered by his patrolling companions and carried away.
......
Human world.
In the Xuan Kingdom Palace, a young man in a yellow robe was reviewing memorials with a serious expression.
Not long after, he covered his mouth with his slender fingers and started coughing violently.
Looking at the palm of my hand, I saw spots of blood.
"Emperor! Your Majesty! You... are coughing up blood!" the eunuch said in horror, but he did not look worried at all.
Mo Xuan was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Nothing, I probably caught a cold last night. Go get some hot water."
"Yes." said the eunuch, turning and leaving the room.
Mo Xuan sighed softly, his eyes revealing an unconcealable sadness.
He is still young, but his body showed signs of illness long ago.
The old fox had just left, and now was a good opportunity for him to show his skills. If the rebels took advantage of this opportunity, what would he do...
If this continues...if the country falls into the hands of corrupt officials, what will happen to the people?
On the roof, Shi Qi and Di Liao sat cross-legged, looking down at the sickly and melancholy person in the room.
"Shi Qi, this emperor is a sickly man. Well, if I hadn't taken the wrong soul, according to the Record of Life and Death, he would have entered reincarnation now." Di Liao said unnaturally.
"He is only fifteen years old." Shi Qi looked at the weak boy, speechless.
The young man was dressed in a yellow robe, had bright white teeth, was handsome and cheerful, a typical beautiful young man in ancient times. He should be at an age where he should be enjoying the love of his parents, but at this moment, his face was full of sorrow and he looked a little vicissitudes of life.
She observed for a long time and thought that a man who worked diligently and for the benefit of the people should be a good emperor. Why did he die so early?
"Shi Qi, there's nothing we can do. Life and death... have already been decided. Tell me, why do good people always have short lives? It's obvious that the prime minister... is the most hateful!" Di Liao said angrily, clenching his fists tightly.
Shi Qi said calmly: "So, you seduced the wrong soul... It was intentional, right? You wanted him to live longer?"
"Who...who said that! I didn't, I just made a mistake. Is it okay to make a mistake?" Di Liao turned his face away and said awkwardly.
According to the original owner's temperament, he would definitely scold Di Liao at this moment and quickly summon the soul back.
Shi Qiben also thought so, and the task should be completed quickly.
But she hesitated for a moment.
Maybe it's because the people she's met are all very nice, so it's difficult for her to take action and take someone's life.
Anyway, there is still a lot of time, why not... let him live for two more months to fulfill his wish...
"Shi Qi, you are going to scold me again, right? Forget it. Anyway, I know that you will definitely...what are you doing? You just came here to take my life, you..." Di Liao said, and when he saw Shi Qi stand up, he thought he wanted to take his life and became a little flustered.
"What are you standing there for? Take me around the palace. We have to return the prime minister's soul tomorrow. If we delay for a few more days, he won't be able to return his soul." After Shi Qi finished speaking, he turned around and floated away.
Di Liao was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic: "Shi Qi? You...you're not going to take it now?"
After a long while, Shi Qi said calmly: "It's wrong, but I might as well follow your wishes."
The woman's voice was cold, but at this moment it sounded somewhat warm. Di Liao felt warm in his heart as he watched the figure going away.
His partner seemed to have changed.
For better.
Di Liao came back to his senses, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, jumped with joy, and ran towards Shi Qi.
