Chapter 247 Watching Movies in the Underworld 2
"Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen?!"
The Black and White Impermanence arrived and caught up with the ghostly figure ahead, only to be surprised to find that it was actually the ghost of the long-lost Yinzhen.
"It is I."
Seeing their attire and the words above their heads, Yinzhen recognized them and greeted them with a gentle and polite bow.
Fan Wujiu looked at Yinzhen's pure white soul in surprise. It was untouched by any karma. Was it sleeping soundly in the small world? Did it not do anything?
When Yinzhen arrived in the underworld, he answered the call of the messengers of death, and all his records from his previous life were automatically entered into the underworld's archives.
Unconvinced, Fan Wujiu used his access privileges to examine Yinzhen's file. The information about him as emperor was exactly the same as before he was taken away to retrieve his soul, without any changes. The latter half was completely blank, and when Fan Wujiu tried to access it, it displayed "Insufficient permissions".
"Hiss—which powerful figure have you encountered?" Fan Wujiu looked at Yinzhen thoughtfully.
"Yinzhen did indeed rely on a great man to save him, but he never knew the man's identity."
Yinzhen's tone was regretful, but he also explained that his rescue was purely coincidental and that he didn't know the person who saved him. He was telling the truth, but he was also worried that the Black and White Impermanence on the other side might have ulterior motives. It wouldn't be good if it caused trouble for his "savior."
“It’s normal that you don’t know,” Xie Bi’an glanced at him. “Emperors are always so cunning.” “Alright, Lao Fan, since he’s come back on his own, take him back to complete the registration. The incense offerings haven’t been settled yet.”
"That's right, let's go, I'll take you back."
"Where are you going? Are you going to be reincarnated?" Yinzhen asked curiously, as it was his first time in the underworld and he was not familiar with the procedures.
"Reincarnation, don't you have any obsessions?" Fan Wujiu carefully observed Yinzhen, his cold eyes seeming to see into the depths of Yinzhen's soul. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze. "Strange, you really don't have any obsessions. Rare indeed. You, the emperor, are different from those I have seen before."
"The Meng Po Bureau now covers too many areas of business. Even if you have no obsessions, you still have to wait in line to be reincarnated. It's not your turn yet."
Fan Wujiu bid farewell to Xie Bi'an and led Yinzhen toward the Ghost City, explaining as they walked, "To facilitate the management of the underworld, we have implemented a system of dividing the land into districts. Ghosts from different dynasties are under the jurisdiction of leaders from different dynasties. Now, I'm taking you to the area inhabited by people from your Qing Dynasty. Don't worry about being lonely; your brothers, sisters, ancestors, and descendants are all here. None of them have been reincarnated yet..."
Yinzhen listened with great interest, not expecting that the management regulations of the underworld were similar to those of the human world. But then he thought that ghosts all came from the human world, so it was normal.
However, Yinzhen was genuinely surprised and somewhat expectant about the news that so many people had not yet been reincarnated and that his relatives and friends were still alive.
As he followed Fan Wujiu to the familiar palace, Yinzhen felt a mix of trepidation and nostalgia.
"Old Zhu's family next door fights with your family every day. You're new here, so be careful. Okay, I'll leave you here. Go inside by yourself."
"Thank you, Lord Black Impermanence."
Seeing how polite Yinzhen was, Fan Wujiu suddenly remembered something and called out to him somewhat awkwardly, "Oh, right, there's something else. The Meng Po Bureau held a cultural event recently and showed your family a drama called 'The Legend of Zhen Huan.' As far as I know, it seems to be based on you as the main character... you..."
Upon hearing a somewhat familiar name, Yinzhen couldn't quite place it for a moment: "The Legend of Zhen Huan? What's that?"
"It's hard to explain in a single sentence," Fan Wujiu patted Yinzhen's shoulder with a troubled expression. "Anyway, take care, don't get too angry, or you won't be able to reincarnate if you become a vengeful ghost."
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Impermanence."
Seeing that Fan Wujiu had no intention of saying anything more, Yinzhen thanked him politely and didn't ask any further questions. He bid farewell to Fan Wujiu and went inside with doubts and unease.
"Fourth brother?!"
Yinzhen was the first to notice Yinzhen's appearance when he floated to the rooftop to get some fresh air. He appeared upside down in front of Yinzhen and asked in surprise, "Were you brought back by the ghost messengers?"
Yinzhen was so frightened that he flew three zhang away. Although he was a ghost, the sudden appearance of the Ninth Prince was indeed quite frightening.
"Tsk, look at your cowardice! You're a ghost, and you're still scared?"
Yinzhen floated down speechlessly, circling Yinzhen twice: "Looking at you, you don't have any injuries. Could it be that you turned yourself in? Didn't you say you sneaked off to the Small World when Wuchang wasn't looking? How was the Small World? Was it fun?"
He didn't understand why Old Nine was still so noisy even after becoming a ghost. And if he remembered correctly, they didn't get along well in life; Old Nine even died because of him. So why was he acting so normally towards him in the underworld?
"Let me pay my respects to Father Emperor first."
Yinzhen was very serious, mainly because he didn't want to repeat the same thing many times. He thought that once he met Kangxi, he would meet all of his brothers and then explain everything at once.
"Tsk," Yinzhen curled his lip in disdain. The fourth prince was as rigid as ever.
It wasn't that he was being nicer to the fourth prince now; even the deepest resentment would have been worn away after hundreds of years in the underworld. Besides, the old man was angry after watching "Empresses in the Palace." But he felt much better; all the pent-up frustration dissipated as he watched the fourth prince's antics in the show.
Although he knew it wasn't the real fourth brother, with such an image, he could mock the fourth brother for centuries. So he was really looking forward to the fourth brother being brought back by the ghost messengers.
So he was so excited to actually see Yinzhen. Well, he was indeed a bit curious about the small world. In order to learn about the story of the small world and to make fun of the fourth prince for a long time to come, he could temporarily suppress his dissatisfaction with him.
Having spent so many years honing his skills in the underworld, he still possesses the patience to remain silent and unassuming, cultivated from his desire to enjoy the gossip.
Yinzhen followed with a grin, and casually sent messages to the eighth, tenth, and fourteenth princes in his little group.
[The handsome Ninth Prince: Big news! Big news! The Fourth Prince is back! Come back and get your news!]
[The tenth brother, who's been keeping incense offerings and waiting to be reincarnated: Really? The ghost messengers brought him back? What was he doing in the small world?]
[Great General King: Hmm? Wherever there's a melon, there I am! I'll be right there!]
[The handsome Ninth Prince: Eighth Brother, Eighth Brother, still busy? Come back and watch the show!]
[Meng Po Si - Yin Si: Received, currently handing over duties, will be back soon.]
