Butterfly Effect
"Ahem." A cough broke the strange silence. Xie Qi withdrew his gaze from Lu Xuezhou and looked at Bai Wuchang. "I asked you to come here because I wanted to learn about his past life."
"Sure." Infrastructure construction in their underworld is very expensive, and the boss has made regulations. As long as the money is in place and it does not violate the principles, they can do it openly.
Xie Bian reopened the booklet without saying a word, and waited for it to automatically turn to a page as before. With a wave of his hand, he enlarged the text on it into the air.
The short text records that Lu Xuezhou was born into a royal family in his previous life and lived in the Forbidden City. He lived a rich and prosperous life, but his health deteriorated in his later years and he finally died in the hospital at the age of over seventy.
It is rare for a person to live to seventy years old. In ancient times when people were fifty years old, seventy years old could definitely be considered a long life.
"Is there nothing else?" Xie Qi asked quickly when he saw that he had stopped moving.
Xie Bian shook his head. "Lu Xuezhou's soul has only been reincarnated once. This is his only past life."
"That's impossible!" Feng Qiwu immediately refuted it. He took out the CT scan from Lu Xuezhou's medical report, pointed at the overlapped image, and said, "Look here, the split of the soul is so obvious. He can't have experienced a lifetime!"
Xie Bian took a closer look. He was obviously an expert. "This is indeed a bit strange, but I am sure that Lu Xuezhou has only reincarnated once." He continued to use the abbreviation and provided sufficient evidence. "In his previous life, he was a pure Yin body."
According to the ghost messengers of the underworld, there are two types of souls in the world: old souls that have entered the cycle of reincarnation, and new souls that have just been born. Pure Yin and Pure Yang bodies are unique constitutions: one is naturally susceptible to evil spirits, while the other is naturally immune to all evil. Their attributes are completely opposite, with only one thing in common: the souls in both are newly born and naturally more powerful than ordinary people.
Heaven is fair. It gives them unique privileges, but will also naturally give them corresponding hardships.
Pure Yin and Pure Yang bodies are targeted by demons and monsters from birth, and are extremely nourishing to them. While Pure Yin bodies are weak in childhood, they can even command hundreds of demons in their bodies as they mature. Unfortunately, most are attacked and destroyed in their youth. Pure Yang bodies, on the other hand, are not very powerful in childhood, but can absorb any power, digest it, and then use it for their own benefit. Many Pure Yang bodies die due to insufficient power.
The facts are right before our eyes and no one can help but believe them.
Xie Qi thought about it and had no choice but to ask about the dispute between Lu Xuezhou and the underworld in order to find some clues.
Lu Xuezhou, who had been watching the show with his cheek in his hand as if it had nothing to do with him, paused and nodded slightly.
Xie Bian finally spoke, "When he first came to the underworld, he was still a child. At that time, his name was... Qingyun."
——
People with pure Yin body are always faced with some problems, so they are also called accident constitution. Some people want to use his body to regain their vitality, some want to eat him to replenish their body, and sometimes they are just accidentally injured when passing by.
Qing Yun was accidentally injured that time. In order to capture an evil ghost that had been practicing for a hundred years, the ghost officials accidentally took Qing Yun's soul away and mixed it with the residual souls forced out of the evil ghost's body. It was not until they submitted the task that they realized something was wrong and quickly sent him back.
But Qing Yun, who was young but courageous, took it to heart and found many ways. Finally, he found a way to travel back and forth between the Yin and Yang worlds. With the consent of the ghost officials, he became a soul guide.
The first time, he lured away a ghost king, who burned down the Palace of Yama.
The second time, he ferried a swordsman across, and the swordsman caused a great disturbance on the Naihe Bridge.
The third time, he carefully selected an old man to send. The old man was originally an immortal and was determined to die, but he didn't expect that the Forgetful River would change its course and the other side would wither, because the other party had the power of light that was completely incompatible with the attributes of the underworld.
"After he became the Soul Guide, he guided souls three times in total. The underworld started three major projects, and we worked overtime for several years." Even though Xie Bian had been smiling the whole time, he couldn't help but sound resentful when talking about this.
In fact, this is the best case scenario. Just deprive Qing Yun of his qualification as a soul guide and stop him from guiding souls, and he will wake up.
However, they didn't expect that the above were just side dishes, and the real main course would have to wait until Qingyun died.
Qing Yun was originally a member of the royal family. He was noble and protected by his family. He had a lot of blessings. His pure yin body made him always run into things, but he also accumulated a lot of merit for this.
Even if he gave all his merits to others, it would be enough for him to go through the VIP channel and be the first to be reborn as a human being.
Qing Yun refused. He just waited in line and stayed in the underworld.
Then, he didn't allow the ghost officials to work overtime, but they worked overtime because of him. Problems arose wherever he went, and even strange natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions began to join in the fun.
At first, they thought the King of Hell had offended some deity and was being punished, and they didn't even think about Qing Yun. That was until the underworld started building infrastructure, introducing the internet and new technology, and installing electronic cameras everywhere.
They discovered that Qingyun was always present at the scene of every accident. They called in Diting, who could hear everything in the world, to inquire with the earth and learned that although all these disasters were not caused by Qingyun, they were all related to him.
"If anyone asks, just say it's the butterfly effect." These were the words that Di Ting repeated to Dadi at the time. They didn't know what they meant, but they only knew that after hearing them, the King of Hell told them to leave it alone for the time being until Qingyun was reincarnated.
As for the fact that they were looking for reasons to extend Lu Xuezhou's lifespan, the higher-ups turned a blind eye.
Bai Wuchang told the whole story and sighed, "He stayed in the underworld for five years, and our Yama Palace was rebuilt four times. The reason there was no fifth time is because we ran out of money." Their superiors were so poor that they couldn't even pay their salaries, so their boss sent them out to do private work to make money.
In a sense, Lu Xuezhou's words, "I had no experience last time I died, so I made a bit of a fuss," were not a lie.
After listening to the whole story, Xie Qi began to worry about his own hospital. Even such a wealthy unit in the underworld had collapsed. He only had so much money in his bank account. He really couldn't bear the risk.
He looked at Lu Xuezhou and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Uh..." Lu Xuezhou lay down on the bed gracefully, "Don't worry, your hospital is stronger than you think." A place that can become a no-man's land is not that simple.
Xie Qi looked at him doubtfully, stretched out his hand and said hesitantly, "Brother Xuezhou, how about... you pay the ghost messenger money first?"
"It will be counted together when you are discharged. The hospital stay will follow your procedures." Lu Xuezhou saw through his little thoughts and laughed angrily, "Are you satisfied this time?"
Xie Qi was indeed relieved, after all, they had the right to be discharged from the hospital.
Regardless of whether the hospital was strong or not, Xie Qi had already accepted the patient. He couldn't just kick him out, especially since this was his brother's older brother.
Alas, I have paid too much for my brothers.
In this way, Lu Xuezhou settled down here.
——
Sheng Zhi has been a little depressed recently. After being banned from entering the fourth floor, he began to have frequent dreams about Gege.
But every time I dream about something, it is clearly not in my previous memory, yet it seems so real.
At first, he didn't wake up during the day because he was observing Lu Xuedu at night. Later, he didn't wake up during the day because he would dream as soon as he fell asleep. He was entangled in the dreams and felt very tired when he woke up.
Something was clearly not right.
Sheng Zhi struggled again and woke up from the dream. He felt that he couldn't go on like this.
He got up and went out, came to the outpatient pharmacy, and swiped his access card.
"Give me a box of Long Dreams."
