Chapter 268 Lin Family Ancestors
It is not actually accurate to say that the court was suspended. In mid-March, the emperor was seriously ill, but he still went to sleep every day with the books and clothes left by the supervisor as his pillow. Every day when he woke up, he would carefully read the construction drawings of the underwater tomb left by the supervisor.
The underwater tomb was a turning point that Jian Zheng had gained for the people of the world at the cost of his life, and he would never allow any mistakes or deviations to occur.
He knew every corner and turn and could walk out of the tomb with his eyes closed.
Finally, the underwater tomb was completed and the emperor dragged his sick body to go there in person. He walked along every path and room designed by the supervisor, but when he reached the center, he found a spacious tomb that did not appear in the construction plan.
The emperor subconsciously looked at the person in charge of the construction, but the person said, "This place was built by the Lord Supervisor. He said... when it is completed, let me move his body here so that we can suppress it."
The emperor stared at the tomb for a long time, his eyes fixed on the dark coffin in the middle, and said, "Get up, everything else is fine, but this coffin is a little small."
However, he was buried in the same tomb with the supervisor.
The subordinate observed his expression and said hurriedly, "Then I will ask someone to change the coffin to a double one now?"
"No need to be too ostentatious, an ordinary coffin will be fine." The emperor said softly.
I only hope that in the next life they can all be ordinary people, without having to bear such burdens, and can stay together for their entire lives.
After returning from the underwater tomb, perhaps because he had lost his confidence, the emperor soon fell seriously ill. He was often drowsy and confused, and often didn't know whether he was in a dream or in reality. He always thought that the supervisor was still there, and said that he would let the imperial kitchen develop new dishes, so as to trick the supervisor into entering the palace to accompany him.
The imperial physician was summoned many times, but he just shook his head every time and there was nothing he could do.
After all, this heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine.
But the medicine that belongs to the emperor...
Suddenly one day, the emperor was no longer in a daze, and he remembered that the supervisor had said that a small temple outside the capital was very effective in praying for marriage.
The temple was built on a high mountain and required climbing thousands of steps to reach it.
The imperial physician and the eunuchs around him tried their best to dissuade him, but ultimately they were unable to change the emperor's mind.
The emperor ordered craftsmen to carve a pair of emerald jade pendants for him. Wearing the jade pendants, he dragged his dying body up the thousands of steps step by step. When he knelt in front of the statue, his face was pale. He placed the jade pendants in front of the altar and prayed to meet again in the next life.
After kneeling for a long time, the emperor stood up with a trembling body and suddenly looked outside the temple gate.
It was March at this moment, and the flowers were in full bloom. In a trance, he seemed to see a pair of clear almond eyes of an old friend under the apricot tree, so he grabbed the jade pendant and ran towards that person regardless of everything.
One step, two steps... He hugged the young man and tied the jade pendant around his waist for him.
Then he closed his eyes with satisfaction.
With a crisp sound, two jade pendants fell to the ground at the same time.
The guards hurried forward, and before they noticed, a transparent hand picked up two jade pendants from the ground, tied one gently around the emperor's waist, and hung the other around his own waist.
In Tongxin Temple, very few people can actually obtain the Tongxin Pendant. After all, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be, let alone something as unpredictable as love.
The spirit of the Supervisor stood under the apricot tree, quietly looking at the blessed Heart-shaped Pendant in his hand, and exchanged glances with the slowly rising spirit of the Emperor.
"It turns out it wasn't a dream..." the emperor murmured.
"See you in the next life." The supervisor showed a faint smile on his handsome face, and disappeared in a flash.

"Do you know that you have gone against the will of heaven and will not be able to reincarnate within a thousand years, and will have to suffer the pain of purgatory for a thousand years? Why did you lie to him about meeting him in the next life?" The tall ghost official lowered his eyes and looked at the pale and transparent soul in front of him.
"If I tell him, he will definitely be willing to stay in purgatory with me. Buy one get one free, it's really a losing deal." The warden said, pulling out a pot of wine from his sleeve, "I have to thank the ghost official for showing leniency this time and hiding it for me temporarily... letting me see him one last time."
The ghost official took the wine without hesitation and took a big gulp: "I am here for this good wine and also for your help in subduing hundreds of ghosts in the underworld."
On that day, hundreds of ghosts fled to the imperial city and caused chaos. The ghost officials were helpless for a while. But at this moment, the Juvenile Supervisor came here. In less than half an hour, he collected all the ghosts into the purple gold gourd he carried with him, solving the urgent problem of the ghost official.
He naturally remembered this extraordinary talent who saved him a lot of trouble in his busy official duties.
Later, the jailer fell into the underworld. The ghost official learned about the jailer's deeds and admired him as a person, so he helped him with the small matter of temporarily escaping from prison.

Thousands of years later, in the underworld purgatory.
“The thousand-year prison term has expired, and you will be able to leave here and reincarnate soon. Recently, evil spirits have been causing a lot of disturbance, and there may be chaos between heaven and earth... If you reincarnate now, there will be no peace.” The ghost official looked at the warden in front of him. A thousand years in purgatory did not change his clear and determined eyes in the slightest.
"In that case, I will tell your fortune." The supervisor said so, but stretched out his hand towards the ghost official.
Ghost Officer:?
"Borrow three big coins." The supervisor held his forehead with his hand.
After spending a thousand years in the underworld, no one remembered him anymore, so naturally he had no spare money.
Ghost officer: "..."
He handed over three large coins.
"By the way, you have offended the Heaven. Even after the thousand years are up, I am afraid that your fate will still be damaged after reincarnation. It is an absolutely unlucky and poor life..." The ghost official recounted all the tragic situations in one breath, and it took several minutes.
The Supervisor listened with a look of “…” on his face. His hands kept moving, and he dropped three coins on the table. Then he said slowly: “When I was a child, there was a great disaster in the world. Wait, this disaster will be resolved. Then there will be no problem. It should be able to hold on until I grow up.”
“But with my luck, I’m afraid I won’t live to see adulthood—” The supervisor drew out his words, as if waiting for someone to respond.
The ghost official had known him for a thousand years, and now he said silently, "I will hide it from the heavens for a while, transform into a human, pick you up and raise you, is that okay? Then I will go to the current Sitianjian in the human world to warm up your reputation first, so that no one will obey your command. It will be a good opportunity to teach you to be my grandson, so that you can pay me back for the wine and meat money I have been cheated of for a thousand years."
The supervisor looked at him with clear eyes: "Thank you, there is one more thing..."
"Your young emperor husband, right? He has been reincarnated many times. Every time he comes back, he makes trouble with me and asks me to hand you over. It's really annoying. This time I will postpone the date of his reincarnation. He is only a few years older than you."
A few days later, a skinny child was born, and soon after, was thrown into the snow and ice to die.
It was on that day that a ragged and skinny old man picked him up, named him Qi Gu, and brought him back to Fuai Temple on Fuai Mountain.
"Little brat, call me grandpa for me to hear?" The ghost official was busy holding the thin and soft child in his arms, his tone was not polite but his movements were cautious.
In the following years, he collected the books that Jian Zheng had collected during his lifetime bit by bit and handed them back to Qi Gu for him to study.
However, the ghost official never found the book named "Record of Corpse Transmigration" on the list.
*
In the dim tomb, the almond eyes and the peach blossom eyes suddenly looked at each other.
Lin Hanzhi and Qi Gu spoke almost at the same time: "Record of Corpse Transmigration!"
Then, at the same time, he looked at the heavy cast iron door behind the tomb, and he had already started to imagine what was inside.
Before his death, the emperor, in accordance with the instructions of the Supervisor, gave "Records of Corpse Transmigration" to the metaphysical family of the time for safekeeping.
The head of that metaphysical family at the time was a sorcerer named Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's branch of the metaphysical family was extremely powerful and had been able to last for a thousand years.
He is a character written in Lin Hanzhi's family tree!
