Chapter 41 The old urchin
"A paper man is a clothes rack at best, and is used as a sandbag most of the time. Paper man, like a car and a plane, is something that ghosts cannot take away before reincarnation. They can choose to exchange the sacrifices they receive as money, and after exchanging valid coins recognized by the underworld, it can help them wash away some of their crimes and avoid the pain of atonement before reincarnation.
"So, paper people, planes, villas, etc. will be resold as goods to residents who really live in the Yin Realm - that is, ghosts. If you really want people in the Yin Realm to get the company of others, burial is the only effective way."
Gu Gesang shivered, "It's cruel to be buried with him."
"And it may not be able to really achieve the goal." Daji Zhongyuan slowed down his flight speed. "As long as it is not a large disaster or accident, living ghosts usually come to the Yin Realm as individuals. After coming, they must be grouped and registered according to the rules of the underworld. During this period, if the buried ghosts are unwilling to act with the ghosts in the main tomb, they will be free at any time. Therefore, the buried ghosts only do their best in the Yang Realm, and they still respect subjective wishes when they come to the Yin Realm. Madam, look there-"
Gu Gesang looked in the direction of Daji Zhongyuan's finger and saw a tall building of about forty stories.
"That's the underworld?"
"Well. This building was rebuilt seven years ago and is full of ghosts who are busy with work."
Gu Gesang grinned, "This is very different from what I imagined!"
"More than one like you think so. Not long ago, there was one ghost who escaped from the chains of ghost messengers and possessed himself in the living person, telling his own experiences in the Yin Realm. However, no one believed him, and everyone would only think that he was crazy." Da Ji Zhongyuan shrugged, "Ghosts who leaked the Yin Realm will be dragged to do hard work until their punishment is completed, and they are qualified to enter the realm of reincarnation and live again in the next life."
Gu Gesang looked around curiously, "Living in the Yin Realm is also good, and you may not necessarily be reincarnated."
"Living ghosts are usually not allowed to move freely in the Yin Realm. Most of the living ghosts living in the Yin Realm are ghosts. There are generally only two situations for living ghosts living in the Yin Realm:
"The first situation is that they have made a worthy contribution to the Yin Realm, or that the soul itself has some value. The second situation is that he has a clean background and is unwilling to be reincarnated. However, there are not many ghosts with clean backgrounds, so there are only a handful of ghosts left in the Yin Realm, and there are only a handful of ghosts who are inhabited."
As he spoke, he was almost at the Temple of Ghosts and Gods.
Daji Zhongyuan finally stopped in front of a magnificent palace built along the mountains. Gu Gesang looked at the plaque of the high gate and felt that this ancient building stood in the steel forest with a strong modern atmosphere, so out of place.
"Where is the discord? Isn't the Forbidden City integrated into the Beijing City in a harmonious way?"
Daji Zhongyuan bounced Gu Gesang's forehead and then shook his fingers slightly. Gu Gesang felt that his eyes were dark. When he opened his eyes again, his original adventure outfit had disappeared, and was replaced by a black-colored skirt.
"The Palace of Ghosts and Gods follows the previous outfit, so we can't wear the one we just did."
"Yes!" Gu Gesang has turned on the mode of being well-behaved and obedient, and is ready to learn new rules at any time.
Coincidentally, on the day they came back, Lord Ghost God and Ghost God Empress were invited by other heads of the Ghost Spirit Clan to go out to visit and were not in the palace.
Daji Zhongyuan took Gu Gesang to travel all the way through the palace without any obstacles. He met the people from the Ghost Spirit Palace along the way. Gu Gesang saw through the unhidden surprise and joy that could not be hidden from their faces.
"Is this our living princess?"
"It looks very compatible with Your Highness..."
The ghosts looked at her face and temperament, while the ghosts were observing the exquisite and unique ancient makeup of the palace people.
"Their makeup is so beautiful." Gu Gesang shook Daji Zhongyuan's arm and exclaimed.
Daji Zhongyuan looked at her pamperedly and smiled, "The princess's makeup looks better, let Zhu Yi paint it for you after looking back."
"Okay, okay."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at another huge palace behind the Temple of Ghosts and Gods.
"Look, that's "A Record of Ghosts and Gods." Daji Zhongyuan pointed to the back of an old man sitting on a cushion in the hall and eating ginseng fruits similar to that of Gu Gesang.
Gu Gesang was stunned again.
It turns out that this book is not an ancient book, but... a living person?
So why did Daji Zhongyuan tell her that there is a whole page of records about her in "The Record of Ghosts and Gods"?
"Zhong Yuan brought a stranger here." The old man sat down without moving. Although his voice was old, he was full of vitality. "Huh? Could it be..."
He slowly turned his head and Gu Gesang saw a wrinkled face full of wrinkles. The old man's face and a gray goatee covered his round chin, but his bright eyes did not look like an old man, but he looked like a lively boy full of curiosity about everything in the world.
"It's you - the little princess Gesang." The old man grinned, as if he was saying hello to his kind old acquaintance.
Gu Gesang quickly responded, "Hello..."
"When I wrote the page about you in "Ghosts and Gods", I really wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of living woman can become the key to changing the history of the Great Ji family."
As he spoke, the old man's whole body had turned around, but he was still sitting on the cushion, rubbing white fresh fruits in his hands. He seemed to like it very much, so he couldn't bear to let go.
Daji Zhongyuan put his palm on Gu Gesang's back waist and introduced to her, "This is Lord Dengling, just like Ah Chai is your guardian. Lord Dengling is responsible for accompanying the "Record of Ghosts and Gods", protecting it, and writing for it."
"Tell me," Deng Ling continued to rub his little fruit with his wrinkled palms repeatedly, "Zhong Yuan, why are you here to find Lao I today?"
"I want to ask "Gods and Gods to check the whereabouts of a ghost now."
Deng Ling's white eyebrows immediately raised, "Oh, this is not possible! It is illegal!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he put down Xiao Guoer and added a thick ancient book in his hand. After chanting a few spells, ancient words began to appear on the yellowed paper.
He said it was not possible, but his body was very honest?
Lord Dengling is really "principled"... Gu Gesan twitched his lips and couldn't help but laugh.
He was flipping books faster and faster. At the end, he looked up at Gu Gesang and then looked at Daji Zhongyuan in front of him.
"What ghost are you looking for?"
Daji Zhongyuan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
The lamp spirit is still the same as before, belonging to the type of goldfish, with only seven seconds of memory.
Before Daji Zhongyuan could speak, Gu Gesang began to answer quickly, "The person we are looking for, his name in his previous life should be Li Rang."
After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong and added, "It may also be the name of the great previous life, the great previous life."
Lord Dengling nodded, looking at a clear mind. The ancient books in his hand were ancient dark yellow, and he almost bit the fruit and flipped it quickly.
Gu Gesang asked worriedly, "What if the juice accidentally drips on "Ghosts and Gods"?"
This was originally said to Da Ji Zhongyuan, but who would have thought that the short Lord Deng Ling turned around angrily, "Little Princess, don't use low-level mistakes to doubt me."
"I have been in charge of "Ghosts and Gods" for thousands of years, and I have lived longer than your father's father's father. You say this to me as an insult to me. Hum!" Lord Dengling turned his face away.
Daji Zhongyuan's face collapsed immediately.
It was Gu Gesang who stopped him and coaxed the kind and childish old man with a sarcastic look on his face, "It's me that I shouldn't doubt your decision at will."
Gu Gesang pointed at the fruit in his hand, "There are many delicious foods in the world, which are a thousand times more delicious than this. Next time I come to Yin Realm, I can bring you some here."
"Really?" The old man raised his eyebrows in confusion, and he didn't look like he was Lord Deng Ling at all.
Seeing Gu Gesang nodding solemnly, Deng Ling jumped up, patted her butt, pointed at Daji Zhongyuan's nose and said angrily, "It's better to be the little princess, not like you. I said--Did you want to have sex with me just now?"
"You can't check it yet." Da Ji Zhongyuan tried his best to smile. His expression looked quite intimidating. Even Gu Gesang couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw it.
Deng Ling re-reads the ancient books, and names flashed one after another in the dense handwriting. They were all sorted according to the dynasty.
Gu Gesang looked over curiously, but he just glanced at it a little bit, all in traditional Chinese characters, and some ghost painting talismans that she couldn't understand. The names of people in each dynasty are different, and some even wrote oracle bone inscriptions.
This made her, a Chinese-study language practitioner, feel that her country's culture is so long and profound. She saw Shang, Zhou, and Qin in the pages that were flying by, and finally came to an abrupt end on the pages of the Tang Dynasty.
"Look, is this person?" Deng Ling raised the huge "Record of Ghosts and Gods", and he himself was not as tall as the book. So this picture looked quite funny. It was like a child stole something from an adult.
"A Record of Ghosts and Gods" records information about Li Rang of the Tang Dynasty. He was reincarnated to the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. At that time, the Song Dynasty valued literature and over military affairs, and as a military general, he was greatly suppressed.
Later, in the Ming Dynasty, he participated in the imperial examination system and was honored to be ranked among the top three, enjoying a period of wealth and glory. Unfortunately, he died early and unfortunately died at the age of 28. What's even more bizarre is that no matter how many years Li Rang reincarnated, he never got married.
In his recent life, he was killed by a debtor on his wedding night? This way of death is also very bizarre.
Gu Gesang turned his head and thought, "Do you think it's because Li Rang has always had Qinghe in his subconscious mind, so he has not been married for a long time. As long as he gets married, there will definitely be a curse?"
