Suddenly, a clattering sound of cymbals made me dizzy; it was an old Taoist priest.
He can see me.
The old Taoist priest stared intently at me, muttering incantations: "It's easy for you to kill him, but it will ruin General Qin's reputation."
General Qin was destined to be a figure remembered in history. Your ruthless killing has tarnished his reputation. He could have risen to high office in the underworld, but now he can only be given a random official post.
General Qin raised you with great difficulty; how could you harm him?
Rather than wasting time on this heartless person, it would be better to go home and say goodbye to your parents, then do some good deeds and be reborn as an official in the underworld, so that you may be better off than General Qin on the river.
Once you become a ghost official, you'll always encounter this heartless person again in the underworld. Then let's see how he'll face you.
As the old Taoist priest spoke, a talisman flew towards me. My mind went blank for a moment, and I followed the golden light of the talisman until I reached the General's Mansion. There, I respectfully kowtowed twice to my parents.
After kowtowing, he fainted. When he woke up, he was already in Hundred Flowers Village.
I took the old Taoist priest's words to heart and from then on devoted myself to doing good deeds, doing whatever I could for the villagers around me.
This repair has been going on for hundreds of years. My former grave has collapsed and fallen into disrepair over the course of time. I have finally received a sign that my merits are about to be fulfilled!
I've been waiting for this day for far too long.
...
Qin Ya finished speaking.
In the portrait, she has a somber expression and looks depressed.
However, mindful that she was in front of the Ninth Prince, she did not want to appear too sorrowful, so she simply stood there quietly, silent.
Li Ye nodded. "Wen Qian, Wen Qian, are you talking about the Wen Qian from the previous dynasty who rebelled with the Fifth Prince and was later executed by slow slicing?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Qin Ya's gentle face as she said, "This humble woman is unaware. Although my grave is located here, and I am not bound by any restrictions, my soul cannot stray too far from the grave. This place is also extremely remote and backward, producing no outstanding individuals even once every hundred years, and there is hardly anyone discussing important matters of the court. Therefore, this humble woman has never known any of these things."
"Oh! I see! According to historical records, the Fifth Prince intended to usurp the throne, and Wen Qian was his strategist. He was quite resourceful and came up with many plans for the Fifth Prince. Unfortunately, his plans were exposed, and he was captured during the siege of the capital. He later died in prison. These are all recorded in historical records, but we don't know if they are true or not."
Qin Ya's eyes showed relief. It turned out that his end was not good. However, he was determined to make a name for himself, and it was indeed something he was capable of doing by siding with the Fifth Prince.
Li Ye then asked, "Do you know who quelled the Fifth Prince's rebellion?"
"Who is it?" Qin Ya asked blankly.
"It is indeed your father, General Qin Youming."
Qin Ya lowered her head. Ghosts don't shed tears, but they are filled with sorrow.
Linghu Lan remained silent for a moment. Cause and effect, retribution is inevitable, it is truly so.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Since you are General Qin's daughter and have done so many good deeds, it is not difficult to build a shrine and temple for you. I only hope that you will be responsive to all requests and protect the region in the future."
Qin Ya agreed to everything, and under the clear moonlight, she carefully looked at Li Ye, as if trying to memorize his appearance.
Seeing that things had gone smoothly, Qin Ya was overjoyed. She bid farewell to Li Ye and then looked at Linghu Lan, saying, "I feel an instant connection with you, Miss. If all goes well, I will be heading to the Underworld tomorrow. I have some things I'd like to say to you. Could you please see me off?"
