Feng Guang huddled behind Mo Qing, and also pulled little Zhi Wei behind Mo Qing as well. Zhi Wei looked up at her strangely, but Feng Guang covered his eyes, saying, "Children shouldn't look at such scary things."
Zhiwei: "..."
As Mo Qing's direct disciple, he's already seen quite a few, okay?!
Hearing the whispers behind him, Mo Qing smiled and looked at the old man. "Since your lifespan has come to an end, why not reincarnate? Why wander this world as a lonely ghost?"
"I...I just want to drink," the old man said sadly. "I had no money when I was alive, and now that I'm dead, I just want to have a good drink. I never intended to harm anyone. Please, Taoist priest, spare my life!"
Feng Guang exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you can even use that as a reason to be a ghost?"
“Of course.” Zhiwei raised her head and said, “Those who become ghosts all have things they can’t let go of in their hearts, and they can’t be reincarnated. Most of them are because of grudges and grievances. This is the first time I’ve seen one who is just looking for food.”
Mo Qing smiled and said, "Even if you haven't harmed anyone, you've already caused trouble for them. If you stay in this world any longer, you'll only cause more trouble. I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot in your next life. Why not let go of this obsession and be reborn as a human?"
“I…” The old man lowered his head. “What the Taoist priest said is true. But before I am reincarnated, my only wish is to drink a sip of century-old agarwood wine one more time.”
"Agarwood wine?" Mo Qing doesn't drink alcohol, so he wasn't familiar with these kinds of wines.
“I know!” Feng Guang raised his hand. “Zui Ming Fang on Chang’an Street sells it, but my father doesn’t like such strong liquor, so our family’s wine cellar has never had agarwood wine.”
It seems this drunkard wanted to stay in the Prime Minister's wine cellar and drink to his heart's content, which caused quite a commotion. Sometimes when servants came in to fetch wine, they would see a wine jar flying in the air, which would frighten any normal person.
In order to help the old drunkard reincarnate, under Feng Guang's guidance, Mo Qing and Zhi Wei left the Prime Minister's residence and walked on the streets of Chang'an.
Feng Guang, in a good mood, clung to Mo Qing, ignoring Zhi Wei's dissatisfaction. She made conversation by saying, "If you, Mo Qing, never like me, and something happens to me in the future, I'm sure I'll be worried and become a ghost to follow you."
"Why does Miss Xia put herself like that?" he smiled. "Isn't it good to be alive?"
"Of course it's good to be alive, but sometimes life is unpredictable, so you should hurry up and fall in love with me!" She smiled and hugged his arm again.
The old drunkard asked Zhiwei, who was walking behind him, with a sigh of amazement, "Are all girls this proactive nowadays?"
"It was just that she took the initiative." Zhiwei snorted in annoyance, and when he saw that his master did not push the woman away, he became even angrier.
“I think…” Mo Qing said gently, “Given how quickly Miss Xia falls in love with someone, she should also be able to forget someone just as quickly. So even if she has some lingering attachments, after several decades, once she has forgotten many things, Miss Xia can reincarnate on her own.”
Feng Guang looked at him and said, "You're saying I'm heartless?"
"I did not mean that."
"Don't worry!" She hugged his hand tightly. "Even if hundreds of years pass, even if I forget your face, I will always know that the man I love is Mo Qing. I guarantee it with my integrity."
Zhiwei paused, "You want to pursue my master, why are you dragging me into this?"
