Chapter 168 What's wrong with waiting for my brother?! (1)
Xiong Bufan woke up in the small world. It was pitch black all around, but he could see stars when he looked up. This was the first time Xiong Bufan had ever lived in a house like this.
Perhaps Kongkong had been watching Xiong Bufan rest for too long, and was afraid that if he thought of some people again, he would be kicked into this world.
Now his whole body ached. Xiong Bufan endured the pain and pulled down his sleeve, only to find that his arms were covered in whip marks. He touched his forehead and found that he still had a high fever. This was too cruel.
Fortunately, Xiong Bufan recovered quickly. The whip marks on his body were fading rapidly, and his body temperature returned to normal. Xiong Bufan stood up and stretched, and two rumbling sounds came from his stomach in the darkness, "Gurgle~ gurgle~"
Xiong Bufan's hands and feet were small, and she was short. Xiong Bufan guessed that she was only seven or eight years old. She touched her belly and felt very hungry. She looked up at the stars and realized that it would be difficult to jump out, so she could only rush out.
There was a little girl nearby. Xiong Bufan went over and grabbed her, saying, "Take me to find something to eat, and I'll take you to be reincarnated."
A bunch of little girls suddenly appeared around them, pleading, "I know where there's food, please send me to be reincarnated!"
The little girl in his arms was still a bit dazed, so Xiong Bufan threw her aside, kicked open the wooden wall he had made, and rushed out, only to fall directly into the river.
There were water ghosts and fish in the river. Xiong Bufan kicked away a few water ghosts that wanted to drag him down to be their scapegoats, grabbed a few fish, ran back to the shore, and ate them raw.
What kind of family would build their house right by the water? If the water rises, the house and the people will be swept away. It's practically murder.
However, the fish in this river are quite delicious. The last time I ate raw fish was in the mountains. Xiong Bufan licked his hands and continued to gnaw on the second fish, the third fish, and the fourth fish.
The ghosts on the shore all stood guard beside Xiong Bufan, watching him expectantly. The water ghosts, having been beaten by Xiong Bufan earlier, dared not approach.
Xiong Bufan had never seen so many female ghosts before. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer fish on the shore, Xiong Bufan said fiercely, "Why are you all looking at me? Do I have food on my face?"
"Hurry up and catch some fish for me! Whoever catches the first fish gets reincarnated first!"
The female ghosts looked at each other, then all jumped into the water. The river boiled, and big and small fish began to leap onto the shore. Xiong Bufan grabbed a fish, wiped it with his sleeve, and said that as long as there was no mud, he could eat it directly.
People preparing to cross the river at night, under the moonlight, saw the shimmering river water suddenly boil, and a small figure on the bank gnawing on a fish. Looking up, they saw a large mouth covered in blood and fish scales. Thinking it was a ghost, they cried and ran back. They vowed never to sneak out at night again and to go back right now.
The shore around Xiong Bufan was covered with fish that had jumped up, leaving no place to stand. Xiong Bufan kept gnawing on the fish, eating countless of them before he was finally full and regained some strength. Xiong Bufan slowly yawned and said, "Those who want to be reincarnated, come up and line up. I'll send you off one by one."
The ghosts spontaneously formed two lines. Xiong Bufan took out several talismans from his spatial storage, recited a spell, and a large black door appeared on the river not far away. Two people dressed as ghost messengers walked out, one in white clothes and the other in black clothes. Both ghosts wore tall hats, one carrying a white mourning stick and the other carrying a large iron chain.
The ghost messenger was originally there to collect souls, but was summoned by a Taoist talisman. Bai Wuchang floated in front of Xiong Bufan and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Xiong Bufan pointed at the dozen or so ghosts and said, "Take them to be reincarnated." After saying that, he handed the two ghost messengers a few talismans, saying, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. I'm entrusting it to you two gentlemen."
Bai Wuchang smiled, sensing the abundant spiritual energy in the talisman, "What are you saying, sir? These are all my duties."
"Good work."
Two ghost messengers led a dozen ghosts away, hopping and skipping. After all the ghosts had left, the gates of the underworld slowly closed.
Xiong Bufan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked back. The incantation to summon the ghost messenger was something she learned in the previous world, and today was her first time trying it. She didn't expect to succeed on her first try. She's a genius.
Kongkong asked curiously, "Bufan, what if we can't summon the ghost messengers?"
Xiong Bufan: "This situation does not exist. I have learned several kinds of spells to summon the underworld and ghost messengers."
"Wherever the underworld exists, I can stuff a ghost there to be reincarnated." That's just how exceptional she is.
Black Impermanence asked White Impermanence curiously, "My lord, why should we listen to that little girl?"
White Impermanence rolled its eyes. It was a pity that its old partner had taken leave, so it could only work with him temporarily. Otherwise, it would not want to pay attention to this new colleague. After a while, it explained, "Can you see the color of that person's soul? It's golden, all from merit."
Moreover, those who know the summoning incantation are at least red-robed or higher among the Taoist priests, and they will become immortals after death, directly surpassing us!
"We're making things easier for our future leader in advance. You still need to practice hard. Besides, she's given us quite a lot, and the talismans she gave us will help us cultivate!" This newcomer really doesn't understand anything, so it doesn't want to teach it.
Black Impermanence opened his mouth wide in surprise, not expecting there to be so many things inside. He thought the little girl was so powerful. He quickly took the talisman out of his sleeve and stuffed it into his bosom.
The White Impermanence continued to hop back; it needed to go back and cultivate diligently to participate in the assessment, and quickly get away from this colleague.
The ghosts behind them naturally overheard their conversation, and the clever one leaned in and said, "Sir, can we choose what we will be reborn as?"
The White Impermanence said impatiently, "We're all human, no need to ask!"
"I want to be born as a boy, not a girl, it's too painful."
Black Impermanence kicked him, saying, "Being able to reincarnate is good enough. Why make so many demands? After drinking the Meng Po soup, you won't remember anything. Why worry about these things?"
The clever ghost was kicked into silence. She really didn't want to be born as a girl, nor did she want to become a girl waiting for her husband (a custom in some regions where a girl is bought as a wife for a boy before he is born. After the boy is born, the girl takes care of him, and the two get married when they reach a certain age, hence the saying "eighteen-year-old bride and three-year-old groom").
