Chapter 158 The reincarnation of the Purple Star, but cursed.
After understanding Lu Shijing's meaning, Lu's father was surprised for a long time, not expecting him to have this plan.
Back then, they brought up the topic of marriage with Lu Shijing for his safety, but he was very resistant. It took them a long time to persuade him to agree.
Not long after, Lu Shijing divorced that woman, which worried them for a long time. They secretly sent people to keep an eye on him, fearing that he might encounter danger.
However, knowing that Lu Shijing and Yun Shu were still in contact and had not encountered any further danger, Lu's father was relieved and withdrew his men.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Lu Shijing actually took the initiative to come and talk to him about this!
"Okay, okay, it's good that we don't get a divorce."
Mr. Lu said excitedly, "Are you planning to remarry Yun Shu? We'll pretend we don't know, you can just secretly do it!"
Lu Shijing: "..."
Lu Shijing frowned deeply at his father's blunt words. His handsome face was stern, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
He remained silent for a while before saying, "You're overthinking it. It hasn't come to the point of bigamy yet; it's just a simple meal."
Mr. Lu pressed further, "But why should we pretend we don't know about the divorce just because we're having a meal?"
There was a busy signal on the other end of the phone, and Lu Shijing actually hung up.
When Mr. Lu saw the end of the call on his phone, his eyes were filled with helplessness, but a smile played on his lips.
"What did Your Highness say?"
Lu's mother was right next to Lu's father. When she saw him put down his phone, she quickly came over to ask him what was wrong.
Lu's father said with a smile, "His Highness wants to remarry."
"That's great!"
With a sense of relief, Madam Lu said, "After so many years of reincarnation, we've finally waited for her. Only Yun Shu can break the curse on His Highness. It's a pity that His Highness has forgotten everything now. If he still remembered, he certainly wouldn't have pushed Yun Shu away."
"That curse..."
When this matter was mentioned, Mr. Lu's expression suddenly became serious. "I hope Yun Shu has a solution."
Madam Lu sighed, "The longer His Highness's reincarnation goes on, the lower his fortune will become. His Highness is the reincarnation of the God of War of the Purple Star, and he has ten lifetimes of blood debts. Originally, he was protected by the fortune of the Purple Star, so the murderous aura had little effect on him."
But the curse has been weakening His Highness's fortune. Sooner or later, the murderous aura will turn against His Highness, and he will disappear from this world completely..."
Actually, they are not Lu Shijing's parents.
Lu Shijing has lived in this world for over a thousand years; they are merely his followers.
They were all people from the Great Jing Dynasty thousands of years ago. Due to some special reasons, they survived to this day and followed Lu Shijing.
It was a bizarre and fantastical country where humans and ghosts coexisted, strange events frequently occurred, and the masters of the mystical arts possessed extraordinary abilities, capable of ascending to the heavens and descending to the earth, summoning wind and rain. However, the Great Jing Kingdom was completely destroyed by an accident, leaving no records, and therefore it is not mentioned in history.
Lu Shijing is the seventh prince of the Great Jing Kingdom and the God of War of Great Jing. Legend has it that he is the reincarnation of the Ziwei Star, invincible in battle, with overwhelming fortune, and countless great masters vying to follow him.
However, after the fall of the Great Jing Kingdom, Lu Shijing was cursed. In each of his lifetimes, he would not live past the age of twenty-seven. Every time he reached the age of twenty-seven, his body would reverse its aging process, turning him back into an infant and losing all his memories.
This cycle repeats itself, and with each cycle, the fortune of the Ziwei star on Lu Shijing's body will diminish.
He has been reincarnated for a very long time, so his Ziwei luck has diminished considerably, and in this life, it cannot help him resist the erosion of evil energy.
It is also because of his noble destiny that he will continuously attract ghosts and monsters. However, Lu Shijing's fortune can no longer deter those ghosts and monsters, which is why he has become a ghost-attracting physique in this life.
At this time.
Then Lu's father's voice came again.
He said with emotion, "His Highness was cursed in order to bring Yun Shu back to life... He waited for her for thousands of years, but now he remembers nothing, and Yun Shu doesn't know that he is the same person from back then."
Yun Shu values loyalty and honor. If Yun Shu knew, she would definitely do everything she could to help His Highness…
As he finished speaking, his mother interrupted him, "When His Highness still had his memories, he instructed us not to mention this to Yun Shu, so let's not talk about it. His Highness made that decision willingly, and he didn't want Yun Shu to feel guilty because of it."
Moreover, Yun Shu is the most important person in His Highness's life. Even if His Highness has forgotten everything now, his feelings for her are still different.
"All right."
Father Lu frowned slightly. "However, my informant in the modern Xuanmen sect sent word that the Crown Prince is about to awaken. Back then, in his quest for immortality, he was tricked by His Highness and also fell under a curse."
The Crown Prince has a fellow disciple, a Xuan Master, who must know that Yun Shu can break the curse. He'll likely come looking for Yun Shu.
"Ha, that traitor..."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu sneered, "Yun Shu's tragic death was his doing. If Yun Shu knew he was still alive, she would definitely want to get rid of him."
She thought for a moment and said, "First, we need to find a way to prevent the Crown Prince from waking up. The Crown Prince has somehow managed to remember everything that happened in each reincarnation, while His Highness has forgotten everything. It's not easy to deal with them for now."
"That's all we can do."
-
the next day.
Before dawn, Yun Shu was woken up by someone calling her name.
"Yun Shu, Yun Shu, Yun Shu..."
When Yun Shu opened her eyes, she could feel the sound coming from outside the window, along with a knocking sound.
She got up and drew back the curtains, and saw a ghost hanging upside down outside, dressed in a magnificent black imperial robe.
"Ji Jing? What do you want with me again?"
Seeing King Xuan of Zhou hanging upside down outside the window, looking utterly disheveled, Yun Shu's lips twitched; she was speechless.
"I'm here to deliver a message for the King of Hell."
Hearing him say that, Yun Shu let King Xuan of Zhou come in through the window. "What message do you want to convey?"
"Lu Shijing's divination result."
King Xuan of Zhou floated in from outside and then continued, "Last time, Yama calculated that he was being harassed by ghosts because his evil energy was too strong and his luck was too low."
But recently, the King of Hell cast another divination for him, saying he was the reincarnation of the Purple Star, possessing the countenance of an emperor, and his fortune shouldn't be so low; there must be more to the story. He wants you to take some of Lu Shijing's belongings to the underworld so he can do a more thorough calculation.”
Yun Shu thought about how she had recently asked Lu Shijing to do more good deeds to accumulate merit and dispel evil energy. However, even though Lu Shijing did good deeds, his fate didn't seem to change.
She nodded. "Okay, I'll go pluck some of Lu Shijing's hair and bring it back to you tonight. You can take it to the King of Hell for me."
"no problem."
After King Xuan of Zhou finished speaking, he stared at the things in Yun Shu's room and said with longing, "Then could you burn a paper effigy for me? I want a desktop computer."
"..."
Although she didn't know why an ancient ghost would want a desktop computer, Yun Shu still agreed because he was so dedicated to helping her.
She happened to have some finished computer paper replicas in her shop, and Yun Shu was about to go to the shop to pick them up for King Zhou Xuan when she received an urgent phone call.
