Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.
Chapter 125 The Fortune Teller Xu Fu
After being vacant for so many years, the underworld has become somewhat dilapidated due to constant disturbances caused by invaders.
Now everything is back to normal, and the ghosts who stayed where they were, watching the gods reappear, are now happily cleaning up the mess.
The once eerie and mysterious underworld is now illuminated by lanterns hanging in every household, lighting up the night with red glow.
They all tacitly placed a small candle on the ground in front of their own doors.
In the mortal world, people in ancient times would place a candle in front of their door after a great battle, symbolizing lighting the way home for the fallen warriors.
But in the underworld, they have long forgotten those customs since they died. This candle is simply a way for the gods in the heavenly palace to see that the underworld remains unchanged.
They are the people of Fengdu, and they will always be there.
……
In the celestial palace, the little divine beast, perched on the platform, let out a clear cry and asked the girl beside it who was stroking its fur:
"Lu Yu, what kind of lights are those?"
Looking down at the lanterns that resembled unfolding lotus flowers, Lu Yu smiled and poked Little Di Ting's horn: "It's a flower."
"...Nonsense, of course I know it's a flower!"
"...It means they are with us..."
The Great Hearing, standing to the side, snorted, not at all surprised: "...In my opinion...Ksitigarbha has no chance of becoming a Buddha..."
This hell can never be emptied, so how can he become a Buddha?
"...It's hard to say~"
The girl said it aloud, but thought to herself:
But who knows whether it is because they cannot let go of their past lives, or because the Bodhisattva cannot bear to part with sentient beings?
Of the thirty-three heavens, the Heaven of Separation and Hatred is the highest; of the four hundred and forty diseases, lovesickness is the most painful.
I don't know where I saw that sentence back then, but here Lu Yu understands a little bit about it.
The Buddha emphasized the purification of the six senses and the emptiness of the four elements.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's merits were enough for him to transcend this boundary and become a Buddha, but in the end he still made a vow to stay in this cold Fengdu and live and die with it.
The gods are too difficult to understand; the distance between them is not only the distance of time and space, but also their different inner experiences.
"...Young friend, why are you still standing there? Please come in quickly..."
The gentle voice of the young man behind her interrupted Lu Yu's thoughts.
She turned her head and smiled, "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Ksitigarbha. I'll come in now."
Having said that, she released her little Di Ting, letting it walk around her feet, and quickly walked towards the main hall.
Inside the hall, all sorts of ghosts and gods gathered, exchanging pleasantries about each other after so many years apart. A few young people from the human world, surrounded by these ghosts and gods, looked pitiful and helpless.
"...Oh my...Young man, your marriage line is truly peculiar..."
Lin Qiye was embarrassed as a female ghost grabbed his hand and examined it repeatedly, as if she could see a flower in it.
Before he could even speak, his teammate beside him perked up: "What? Seven Nights's love line? I want to hear it too!"
Lin Qiye slapped the chubby boy's face away with a look of disgust: "Fatty! If you want to make a scene, go find Cao Yuan, don't try to cover it up with me! I don't believe any of this stuff!"
"...Oh ho ho ho..." The ghost smiled, his eyes narrowed, and he released Lin Qiye's hand, still holding the Bagua jade pendant in his hand.
"Young man, that's not right. My fortune-telling skills were once among the best. The fates of those I've read have all come true..."
An Qingyu, who had been quietly watching the commotion, also became curious: "Has this gentleman ever read someone's fortune?"
The woman seemed somewhat troubled, and after thinking for several seconds, she finally remembered what had happened in the past:
"A woman named Bo Ji did consult me..."
The god's eyes reflected the gentleness of memories. Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the boys, he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha... What? Don't know who it is?"
As the team's intellectual backbone, An Qingyu was not completely ignorant, but she felt that it was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't say where she had heard it before.
"...There are millions of historical books in the world, but how many women have had their real names recorded..."
The god's helplessness flashed for only a moment before he waved his hand dismissively: "...Although she's not exactly famous, you young masters should know about her son and husband..."
"Bo Ji's husband, Liu Bang, and her son, Liu Heng."
Liu Bang, Liu Heng...
An Qingyu was the first to react, and just as she was about to speak, she heard an exclamation from beside her: "You are Xu Fu! Master Xu!?"
Lu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and, seeing the jade pendant held in the deity's hand, became even more certain of his idea: "Legend has it that the lord was born wearing a Bagua jade pendant, and later it was determined that Bo Ji's son would be the next emperor..."
Listening to Lu Yu recount her glorious achievements in detail, the deity smiled happily and treated Lu Yu with exceptional kindness:
"It's the young prince... Yes, it's Xu Fu."
Her eyes darted around, giving her a casual and carefree look: "But those are all things from my past life, they don't mean anything here. As for fortune-telling, Your Highness should be able to learn it if you study it more..."
After being personally instructed by the Ancestor of Gossip and then disdainfully handed over to the Primordial Celestial Lord, Lu Yu, who has only now barely passed the array test, said: "Haha... I'm really embarrassed to hear you say that..."
She's incredibly skilled at divination, except for this one area...
To avoid embarrassment, Lu Yu immediately changed the subject: "So, sir, did you figure out what's going on with Qi Ye's marriage line?"
Xu Fu laughed: "Just call me Sister Xu. Your Highness's rank is too much for me."
After their return, they learned about the current situation in the prehistoric world and the Great Xia Dynasty through several explanations from Lady Pingxin. They also learned about Lu Yu's special status and that she herself was an agent of Nuwa and Fuxi.
The relationship between this agent and the deity, in the eyes of the Great Xia deities, is less like that of a messenger and more like that of a disciple and a master.
Therefore, Lu Yu, who was already recognized by them and brought them back, deserves to be called Your Highness.
Xu Fu glanced at Lin Qiye beside him, who was feigning composure but was also curious, and without beating around the bush, said it directly:
"Brother Lin Qiye's face suggests he's destined for greatness... but his love life, which should have been full of twists and turns, has become somewhat unpredictable..."
Lu Yu: "???"
What? The fate of Qiye and Sister Jialan has changed?
Under Lu Yu's anxious gaze, Xu Fu finally uttered a sentence:
"...Now...it should be about being with like-minded people, but there's no marriage to tie the knot."
It means you should just live with your few good friends, since you're going to be single for life anyway.
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, but for some reason he breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl in blue, who was standing to the side listening to their conversation, dimmed her eyes for a moment, but she quickly recovered. However, the way she looked at the boy was different from before.
Lu Yu felt a deep sense of unease.
Oh no, Qi Ye is going to never get married...
She patted the boy's shoulder with a sorrowful expression:
"Captain, don't worry! Everyone will not abandon you!"
If all else fails, we can always get together for a game of mahjong whenever you're bored in the future.
Isn’t it wonderful?
