The ace matchmaker of the ghost world

Chapter 20:

Qing Luo was as excited as him.He grabbed Xuan Ye and smiled so happily, "If it's really Nan Li, then this hall can be regarded as making money this time."

The sound was not too low. Fortunately, the place where we were standing was inaccessible. It was a remote mountain in Nanli covered by lush trees, so it was not easy to be found.As for why he could recognize Nan Li, it was about the tall tower rising from the top of the mountain.

This pagoda is called Lingxiao Pagoda. It was built when I was in power, and it was used to bring blessings to the country.I can describe what it looks like with my eyes closed. After all, this is the place where the great general died for me, and I will never forget it even after I die.

It is the place I least want to see again during my lifetime, and I don’t want to come here again after my death. It’s really thanks to the king’s blessing.Thinking of this, I moved to the King's side, glanced at the ghosts around me, and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you do this? Together?"

The king raised his head, his eyes were on the high tower on the top of the mountain, his indifferent face was as cold as frost.After a while, I was about to drag Xuan Ye to slip away, when he said, "This king is with the dough, let the rest go."

I raised my eyebrows and stood still in place.When Hong Shui heard this, he pulled the bracelet and disappeared in an instant, thinking that he was wandering around.Just as I was about to ask Yu Dai what her plan was, he came over to me and asked me, "Is there a temple on the mountain? Are there monks in the temple? Can monks talk about scriptures?"

... I nodded silently.Then he nodded slightly with a stern face, and was about to go up the mountain with the Qinghong Sword, when Su Liu grabbed him.

Su Liu took the Lun fan and sincerely invited him: "I heard that the women in the human world are so colorful, why don't you go and have a look, it's a long experience."

Yu Dai paused, looked back and smiled suddenly, her icy face and jade bones were torn into a sultry spring: "I heard that the eminent monks in the human world are so wise, it's better to go to learn and learn, and save your convulsed brain by the way."

After a while, Su Liu let go of her hand and smiled and made a gesture of please.Yu Dai nodded towards the king, then stepped up the stone steps to the mountain.

I glanced at his lonely back, couldn't help but wiped my face, and said: "Yu Dai is also a very good ghost, if Yuan Zhi is here, he will definitely go with Yu Dai." Suliu, who was about to leave, dragged him to Qingluo's side, and said helplessly, "Don't walk away like this, and you'll waste time looking for it later. Why don't you go together. Two are better than one, I want to see It’s good to see everything together.”

Qing Luo didn't seem to have received my hint, and murmured: "I read the history of the Nanli Kingdom in this hall, and there is a record in it, saying that Emperor Ai's reign was stupid and absurd. This tower is a proof, what's the secret behind it?"

Hearing this, I glanced at Xuan Ye who was looking uneasy, my heart skipped a beat, and I gritted my teeth and smiled at him: "It's hard to come to the human world, you don't have to worry too much about it, hey, how about you and Su Liu to study together Romance?"

Su Liu's smiling face was as calm as before, and no change could be seen, but the king suddenly said: "Qing Luo, you need to talk to Su Liu more, I and the dough will not be able to talk to him for the next 500 years , presumably he will be a little lonely."

Only then did Qing Luo gladly accept the order, Su Liu turned black instantly, opened her mouth, and was dragged away by Qing Luo before she could utter a single word.As a result, now only me, Your Majesty, and Xuan Ye are left.

"Ancestor, can we eat longevity noodles?" Xuan Ye, who had been silent for a while, asked.

Naturally it is possible.I smiled and said, "Just find a noodle shop." After finishing speaking, I went to see Wang Shang and asked with a smile, "how about a short walk?"

He was noncommittal, and took a slow step.Walking with him, for some reason I had nothing to say, so I could only raise my eyes to look at the back of Xuan Ye in front of me.

Xuan Ye walked fast, and occasionally looked back, seeing that I was still there and went to play alone with peace of mind.I thought about it, then turned to ask the king: "Recently, do you feel that Xuan Ye is particularly clingy?"

He paused, without saying a word.It seems that he really doesn't want to break the silence with me. I can't help but lie in my heart, but I can only follow his wishes and stop disturbing him.

The further you walk, the more pedestrians are on the road, and there is a tendency to be noisy.Ignoring the gazes from my body, I glanced at the king who was almost watched but remained indifferent, and decisively caught up with Xuan Ye and said, "Don't run around, follow your ancestors."

It seems that it is normal to have a lot of people at the edge of the king's city.Xuan Ye giggled, squeezed my hand, leaned closer to embrace my shoulder, and said softly: "Ancestor, don't you think you care too much about me?"

I was startled, and then I was pulled over by a force.Leaning my back on the king's chest, I wondered: "Your surname is Xuan anyway, I don't care about you, who do I care about?"

In just a moment, he regained his vigorous appearance, and suddenly pulled my sleeves, like a child wanting candy: "Ancestor, I want noodles."

I blinked, but was dragged into the city by the king.As soon as I entered, I was pulled back to my senses by the loud voices. I looked up and saw the bustling street. I slipped out of the king's arms and led them to find the noodle shop.

It was noon, and it was meal time, so it must be easy to find.Sure enough, within a short while, we found a family, and Xuan Ye was very satisfied.I hurriedly dragged the king to order three bowls of longevity noodles, and then found a corner seat and sat down.

Having been a ghost for so long, and appearing in the human world so swaggeringly, I am a little uneasy.Xuan Ye was very calm, not at all nervous when he came.Needless to say, the king himself, he is just like a human being, even a master!

Settling down my thoughts, I quietly watched Wang Shang and Xuan Ye eating noodles.For some reason, Xuan Ye wanted to laugh and cry while eating.Holding the bowl in his hand, he said, "Ancestor, can I call you by your name?"

The king paused while eating noodles.I was a little surprised, and thought about what he said again, feeling funny in my heart, but I didn't care, so I said: "It's the same for everything, as long as you like it."

He smiled slightly, and continued to eat noodles, looking very happy.

He obviously has a problem.The king and I looked at each other, and we both saw confusion in each other's eyes.These days he clings too tightly to me, and he says strange things from time to time, and his behavior makes me unable to ignore it.

Take a closer look, he looks so much like that kid, it makes me panic.

After eating the bowl of noodles, it was still early in the day, so Xuan Ye insisted on walking around.I had a headache, so I directed my idea to the king: "My lord, why don't you show him around?" He stared at me with indifferent eyes.

After a while, he got up in silence.I guessed that he knew that I had chased him away, and I was relieved for no reason, so I hurriedly asked Xuan Ye to follow him.Although Xuan Ye was unwilling, but seeing my tiger-faced appearance, he had no choice but to leave the noodle shop without turning his head.After they left, I sat alone for a while, then left the noodle shop and walked towards the bridge in the street.

When I was alive, there was a tea shop at the other end of the bridge, and there was a very good storyteller in it.I like to listen to his books the most. Now that I have come, it is better to go and remember them again.

After crossing the bridge and passing through the crowds, I looked up and was delighted that the tea shop was still there.I went in and found a secluded corner, and my flustered heart finally settled down.

The storyteller still has white hair and a silver beard, but he is not the one I am familiar with. 300 years is nothing more than that. After all, those who become ghosts like me and do not follow the rules are in the minority.

Set your mind down, listen carefully to the story Mr. Shu told, after listening to a few words, you don't feel regretful, but you are reluctant to leave, complaining in your heart that the general is too famous, even the storyteller respects him so much.

Complaints are nothing but complaints. I am also happy for him that he can be worshiped by future generations after his death. It is better than being abused by future generations after I die.Thinking of it this way, I felt a little better, so I listened carefully.

I don’t know how long it took to hear this, until the storyteller’s gavel gave us a shocking slap, I came back to my soul, suppressed the roaring restlessness in my heart, got up with a stiff face and left the tea shop, and walked towards the city gate.

After leaving the royal city, it was already sunset.The wind in the human world is a bit cold, probably because I have been a ghost for too long, and I feel a little cold on my body. I couldn't help but gather up the clothes I wore, and then searched for the Pei family's cemetery according to the storyteller's description.

Quietly walking along the side of the road, after about a few cups of tea, I saw a corner of a stone tablet, and the rest was covered by the surrounding lush trees.I pushed aside a flourishing tree branch, and saw the words engraved on the stone tablet. It was a square character Pei, and the handwriting was not very clear.

The gloomy emotions were swept away, I smiled, stretched out my hand and rubbed the word Pei a few times with my fingertips, and then went into the dense woods.The forest was as silent as night, and because the light obliquely entering the forest was too weak, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk blindly. Fortunately, after walking for a while, my eyes suddenly opened up. It was a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

Looking up, under the afterglow of the setting sun, there are piles of earth bags raised on the not too big open space, and there are rows of tombstones, straight and solemn.As expected, everyone in the Pei family was secretly buried here, so naturally my general is also there.

Approaching step by step, I walked through several dirt bags, and after a quick glance, I stopped in front of a proud tombstone.

The general was upright, with an aura of arrogance and transcendence, and his tombstone was naturally the same.I paused for a long time, then bent down and raised my sleeves to support the cold stele. I wanted to miss it for a while, but I couldn't help laughing, my eyes were full of joy.

I said: "General, I haven't seen you for many years, I am here to see you."

Just such a person, I have read him for 300 years and never stopped.

However, in the end, when I saw his tombstone, I could only call him a general. I admit that I was quite useless.

The blowing wind became colder, the afterglow had already faded, and the surrounding scenery was shrouded in a faint blackness. I wrapped my clothes tightly and retracted my hands and knelt in front of the tombstone.

The wind blowing was too strong, and I hugged the large leaves and laughed wildly. I was silent for a long time, but I couldn't help it. I couldn't help lowering my eyes and getting close to the body of the monument, and slowly put my forehead against the stone with his name engraved on the monument. place.

I didn't know when the fingers pressing on the hard ground picked out a little loess like a sharp weapon. I thought it was dirty, so I raised my sleeve and blew on my fingertips. It hurt a little, and I said slowly: "General, these years, how can you Okay? Speaking of which, although the widow is a year later than you, I still can't remember the date of your death, so how many years have you been dead?"

Naturally no one answered me.

The icy breath of the stele spread over my forehead, and penetrated into my internal organs. I put away the smile on my lips, and said with a serious face: "Don't blame the widow for not coming to see you."

"I'm afraid you don't know, but now the Pei family's reputation will last forever, and future generations will all admire and admire you. Especially you, Pei Muyuan, not to mention your name in the history books, has almost become a poster child for future generations."

"Oh, by the way, I'm afraid you won't like it if you know one thing. Although you died for the king, but you did it for the widow, a foolish king. Many people say that you are stupid and loyal. Think about it, it's right."

"You see, you can't get involved with the widow. This is why the widow doesn't come to see you. You are such a good person, and you can get a good place in the reincarnation in the next life. If the widow comes to see you from time to time, I'm afraid it will dirty your reincarnation. road."

After rambling on and on, half of my body close to the stele became numb. I raised my sleeves, and I reached out to stroke his name for a long time, gritted my teeth and smiled, and said, "Pei Muyuan, you said that I was the one who treated you the most in the world when I was alive." Good man, now I want to get some back, are you willing to give it?"

"I don't want much, just let you listen to me."

"At that time, you were alive, and I was alive. I can't say this, and I dare not say it."

"Now that I'm dead, you're dead too. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I'll miss you for 800 years."

"I'm not afraid that it will take a long time, it's the same for as long as it is. But as long as I think of you for so long, but you don't know why, I feel aggrieved and flustered."

"I don't want to be a lover, you forced me, Pei Muyuan."

"...Pei Muyuan, I like you."

"Dead ones like it too."
