Chapter 399 Qingming
Pluto's cold and pale face suddenly turned red.
"Ah Ci, you..."
Flirting with him again!
It's like this every time!!
He wants to tease back too!
Before Pluto could extend his claws, he was forcibly thrown out of the dream in the next second.
“…”
"Master Jiang, we have finished sweeping the graves. Now my brother and I are going to sweep mom's. Shall we join?"
As soon as Jiang Ci opened his eyes, he saw Murong Jinran coming in front of him and said.
"OK."
The three of them came to the tomb.
Looking at the photo of the young woman on the tombstone, she was the siblings’ mother, who was only in her thirties when she died.
"My father and mother loved each other very much. My grandfather said that after my mother passed away, my father never recovered and became addicted to gambling. He has been gambling for many years."
Murong Jinran sighed: "If mom hadn't left, we would definitely be the happiest family."
"Unfortunately, I was still very young when my mother left, and I have almost forgotten my impression of her."
Jiang Ci stared at her mother's face in the photo and said in surprise: "Your mother should have lived a long life, with a smooth life without any disasters. It's impossible that she died of illness. Could it be an accidental death?"
Murong Jinran was shocked: "Yes, yes, my mother died unexpectedly."
"After my mother got into trouble, my father went to see a psychic, but he was told that it was God who was picking people up indiscriminately, and my mother was accidentally involved in it and passed away suddenly..."
"The Dharma Ending Age may seem peaceful, but it is actually very chaotic. Everyone is looking for their own opportunities, and sometimes they fight endlessly for them." Jiang Ci said, "Your mother was not taken away by God."
"Although the way of heaven is cruel, it is also fair."
"Your mother died unexpectedly, maybe it has something to do with it."
"Above?" Murong Jinran didn't understand. "Isn't above the sky?"
Murong Yun reacted quickly: "Little sister, you misunderstood. Master Jiang is referring to those above us, those high and mighty immortals!"
"When gods fight, mortals suffer, that's the truth." Jiang Ci said, "Fortunately, your mother's soul was not affected."
The brother and sister were surprised and happy.
"So, Mom is still in the underworld!"
"Master Jiang, please ask my mother if she needs anything down there?"
Jiang Ci smiled: "Why don't you ask in person and find out?"
The brother and sister were confused. "Ask in person? Master Jiang, are you planning to send us to the underworld?"
"The living soul will never come back after entering the underworld..."
Jiang Ci: “…”
She took out her cell phone and opened the information on Jinran’s mother’s book of life and death.
Immediately, he held a talisman between his two fingers and recited the name and birth date of the person being summoned.
"Soul, come back! Summon me!"
The soul-summoning talisman ignited a faint ghost fire in the void.
The will-o'-the-wisp fire actually tore the space apart, revealing a dark environment.
It was a lifeless old tree. A young woman was standing under the tree, looking forlornly at the other ghosts happily receiving the gifts from the world of the living.
"Mom?" Murong Yun was the first to recognize the woman and called out tremblingly.
When the young woman turned her head, she saw them as if they came from another dimension.
"Who are you……?"
"Mom, I'm Yun'er!"
Murong Yun was so excited that he was about to run in.
Fortunately, Jiang Ci was quick to pull him back.
"Come out, I'll allow you to reunite for half a day, and you just need to return to the underworld before twelve o'clock."
After Jiang Ci finished speaking, he tactfully went down the mountain.
She heard the cries of the mother and her two children, which seemed to echo throughout the ancestral grave in the back mountain, deafening.
Afterwards, the brother and sister brought their mother back home. The old head of the family was frightened to see the ghost of his daughter-in-law coming back. He thought that his deceased family members had come to take him away. He said tremblingly that he did not want to die yet and wanted to live for two more years.
The old patriarch, considering that his daughter-in-law had returned, agreed for the first time ever to release his son so that the family could be reunited.
At dinner time, the old patriarch reserved the main seat for Jiang Ci, but he couldn't find her anywhere.
I learned from the housekeeper that she went out for a walk after returning from the back mountain and said there was no need to wait for her for dinner.
The old patriarch knew that Jiang Ci was giving their family a chance to reunite, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although she was not there, the old patriarch still left the main seat empty as a sign of respect.
During the Qingming Festival, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.
There are more and more wandering ghosts.
Some families were burning paper at the intersection to worship and a group of wandering ghosts rushed forward like crazy to grab the paper.
The paper money was blown all over the place by the cold wind.
An office worker in a suit got off a bus and stepped on a half-burned piece of paper money.
He immediately spat with disgust on his face, "Damn, this is so unlucky!"
A spooky ghost grabbed his ankle, crawled up his body, and sat down on the man's shoulder.
The man thought he had shoulder pain, frowned in pain, and walked away in a hurry with all his might.
Jiang Ci watched the whole process.
The vengeful spirit seemed to have noticed something, and turned around and grinned at her.
Jiang Ci was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, especially since such a person with evil intentions was being harassed by evil spirits, which meant he deserved it.
She walked on the road for a while and encountered more and more ghosts.
Walking further, I saw a delicate three-year-old child standing in the middle of the road.
The child stood there alone and cried.
"Hey, whose child is missing?"
"It has fine skin and tender meat, so it must taste great."
"How about we catch it and eat it?"
Jiang Cisu waved her hand.
The surrounding ghosts flew several meters away in an instant.
"Damn it, it's a monk, run!"
"What are you afraid of? You're just a cultivator, not a master!"
Jiang Ci gave him a cold look.
The wandering ghosts: "..." Why do I feel a chill on my back?
Jiang Ci picked up the cute baby and was slightly surprised: "Living soul?"
This child must have been scared out of his wits.
The child has a weak constitution and lost his soul on such a gloomy day. If he is not sent back, there will be no way to save him.
Now that Jiang Ci has the Book of Life and Death system, it is very convenient for him to find people. He just scans the child's face with his mobile phone.
The child’s message popped up.
[Feng Lele, male, from the Eastern Region of the Middle Thousand Realm, three years old, life expectancy is four years...]
Jiang Ci: “?”
She stared at the cute baby in her arms. He was delicate and adorable, with a pair of big watery eyes. His chubby little paws tightly grasped her collar. His eyes were full of grievance and fear, and he called out softly, "Sister... I'm scared..."
It turns out that the countdown to the cute baby’s lifespan has begun as soon as she got her hands on it?
Judging from his life span, he only has three days left.
Once the three days are up, the living soul will still turn into a ghost.
"I'm so scared...sister...hold me..."
The cute baby's sweet voice was enough to melt Jiang Ci's heart.
"My dear, where is your home? I will take you home~~"
