Chapter 70: The Past
When the ghost monarch heard this, his face changed greatly, the hem of his clothes lifted, and he knelt down directly.
"It's really that there are too many affairs in the house, and these two little ghosts are very clever, and they can't catch them, so they can do so many wrong things, and they also look forward to Shenhaihan."
Jingwu chuckled lightly and helped the ghost monarch on the ground up: "Just kidding, the ghost monarch doesn't have to be like this." The ghost king sleeps at night, and there are all kinds of opportunities every day, we all know, how can I blame you for this little thing, please get up quickly. ”
Hearing him say this, the ghost monarch was relieved. In all fairness, he was a little worried that Keigo would explain the matter to the one behind him, and he was afraid that his position as the Ghost King would be lost by then.
In order to prevent Bai Yu and Obsidian from escaping while they were talking, Jing Wu took out two bundles of fairy ropes from his body, thinking that it would be more appropriate to tie them up separately. However, as soon as he moved, the Ghost Monarch immediately took over the immortal rope and said busily: "Don't bother God to do it yourself, I'll come." ”
So saying, he went over and tied them up and threw them before them.
Obsidian was tied hand and foot, and his mouth kept scolding, "You dead old man, let me go!" Bai Yu remained silent, twisting his body, trying to break free of the yellow fairy rope.
Jingwu stepped forward, snorted fiercely on each of their heads, and shouted, "Squat honestly!" ”
The strength of the rope that binds the immortals can't break through even the immortals. Obsidian, who was subject to people, stopped talking, and only glared at him fiercely.
Jingwu saw that Obsidian was honest in his mouth, but his eyes were not honest, so he raised his hand and was about to hit again, "You want to stare at another one?" ”
At this time, Obsidian didn't dare to stare anymore, and honestly lowered his head, but he looked a little mistaken.
Bei Ran, who had been resting on the side, finally came to his senses completely, and at this time, he saw that the two arrogant ghost kings had been captured, and his mood suddenly improved a lot. When I went to them, I made a funny face at them. In a blink of an eye, he found that there was an old man in black robe next to him, so he wondered, "Who is this?" ”
The Ghost Monarch bowed to the North Dye and greeted, "Meet the North Dye...... Girl. He originally wanted to say "God", but when he saw Ji Changkong glancing at him, he changed the words to "girl" again.
Bei Ran was even more puzzled now, and said to Ji Changkong: "Sir, does this senior still know me?" ”
Ji Changkong said: "This senior is a Taoist who walks the world and subdues demons, and he also came here to arrest the two of them, and he just met them in the tomb, so they went together." Your name is also what we told him. ”
Beiran understood what he said, but she still couldn't understand why the Taoist chief said "goodbye", not to mention, he was still much older than her. Even though she was puzzled, she didn't ask more. Changing the subject, he said, "Then what are we going to do with them now?" ”
Ji Changkong looked at the Ghost Monarch: "What do you think of the Dao Chief?" "Since he has told Bei Ran that he is a Taoist leader, when he speaks, he will also be called a Taoist chief.
The Ghost Monarch bowed solemnly, and his tone was slightly pleading: "I hope the three of you can let them live." ”
Keigo: "Why? ”
Ghost Jun looked back at the two obsidian who were forced to squat on the ground at the moment, a little well-behaved, and let out a long sigh: "They are also hard-working people." ”
In that year, after the fall of Guan Sheng, the two lieutenants under his command, Bai Yu and Obsidian, were also affected, and were ordered to remove their divine status and be relegated to the lower realm to experience the suffering of the ninth generation. After the ninth generation, he can be free again and no longer restrained.
Wearing sinful bodies, they wandered in the world for many years, experiencing the same birth, aging, sickness and death as mortals. There is a saying in the divine realm that during the tribulation, when they pass through the underworld to reincarnate, they don't need to use their worries. Therefore, every time they are incarnated, the memories of the past are still there.
The capital kills people and punishes the heart, and lives the next life with painful memories of the previous life, and it will not be happy at all. And day after day, the grievances that have accumulated in my heart for a long time will only become more and more burdensome.
Because it was a matter explained from above, the ghost king was a little bit more concerned about the affairs of these two people. He personally followed up on all their situations in the mortal world, and he also watched with his own eyes how they suffered in all kinds of ways.
I thought that after the completion of the ninth life, they would be able to reincarnate normally like other mortals, and taste all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows with rain and dew, and finally naturally go to death.
However, their wheel of life has changed, and the trend is extremely unoptimistic.
At the beginning of the tenth life, when the souls of the two passed through the Broken Soul Bridge of the Difu, the Ghost King personally sent the soup of forgetting worries, and because the memories of their previous lives were too bitter, they specially added more weight. As a result, three bowls of worry-free soup were served, and the baby born still carried the memories of the past.
And the tragic fate was not corrected at all, and all their lives, they lived in the shadow of misery. In addition, he also found an even more terrifying thing: the yang life span of Obsidian and Bai Yu after reincarnation is also getting shorter and shorter, from the year of the sixtieth year to the year of the crown, and finally only lived to the age of the total horn.
This year, the two brothers, who have long since died and have no support, will celebrate their tenth birthday. As the elder brother, Bai Yu wanted to give him a new dress on his younger brother's birthday. So he worked day and night to pick up rags and do child labor to earn money.
But on his birthday, when he went to the tailor shop with his hard-earned money, his previous employer chased him out of the house, saying that he had lost a priceless piece of jewelry at home, and concluded that Bai Yu had stolen it. Then he couldn't help but say something, and he beat him up on the street with a few family members. The young child could not stand the beating and it didn't take long for him to breathe. And that day was also his own birthday as a twin brother.
Therefore, when Obsidian, who was holding a broken bowl and happily came to the street to find his brother, arrived, he saw the corpse of Bai Yu, who was lying on the street, drenched in blood and had no one to collect the body.
He stared at the corpse for a long time, without shedding a single tear, and his hands and feet stiffly tore off a rag from his already thin white clothes, and tied it to his head as a linen. Then he knelt beside Bai Yu's corpse and begged passers-by to give him a little money or a roll of straw mats to bury his brother's body.
But instead of anyone reaching out to help, it also attracted countless insults from the market. In the cold winter of December, he knelt to his knees and almost grew with the ground, and he did not wait to break the copper plate in the bowl, even if it was just one.
Finally, when the sky was about to fall, a gold ingot suddenly fell into his bowl.
Speaking of this, the Ghost Monarch suddenly stopped, swallowed in his throat, and then spoke with difficulty: "The light in his eyes at that time was the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in the world. ”
The three of them were silent, quietly listening to the follow-up story.
A rich man was willing to give him the ingot of gold so that he could bury his brother. But the premise is that if Obsidian beats a child he brought with him, who is slightly younger than Obsidian himself, to death like Bai Yu, and then he can give him the gold.
Obsidian looked at the child who was being held by two big men and panicked like a fawn, and the light in his eyes instantly dimmed and turned into a pool of stagnant water.
The rich man's voice still ringed in his ears: "Your brother's corpse is right in front of you, do you choose this ingot of gold, or the bastard boy who also stole my money?" ”
That night, Obsidian carried Bai Yu's body alone to a flat ground in the suburbs, and used his hands full of frostbite to dig a soil pit day and night, digging for two days and two nights.
No matter what kind of identity or position, as a ghost king, he should not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. The only thing he could do was throw him a shovel.
There was silence all around, and I don't know who opened the mouth first among the three people: "What about later?" ”
Then he was gone. Not only him, but even Bai Yu's soul after his death did not go to the underworld again, and then crossed the Broken Soul Bridge. Since then, the two of them seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and they cannot be found in heaven or on earth. ”
"Later, many years later, I heard from the ghost cha next to me that in this area, there are two ghost kings, one red and one white......"
Needless to say, everyone knows the rest of the story. The two ghost kings, one red and one white, are naturally Obsidian and Bai Yu, who incarnated as ghosts after death.
"Maybe they look a little more abominable now, but the three of them have never seen each other, and once upon a time, they were also such lively and lovely children." Ghost Jun squinted slightly, and when his thoughts drifted to a thousand years away, he seemed to see the two children who were chasing and fighting, laughing loudly on the grass, and greeted him loudly who disguised himself as a cowherd to investigate: "Hello, uncle! ”
