Chapter 98 Asking for the Ghost
"What? Impossible!" Chen Wanwan retorted subconsciously, "He passed the imperial examination, had a wedding night, and was so proud of himself. How could he die?"
"He is indeed dead." Zhong Nianyao continued, "I will definitely not make a mistake in my calculations. Moreover, he did not die of natural causes, but committed suicide."
"What?"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Chen Wanwan immediately became confused. "How is this possible? How could he commit suicide? He was already in high school, and at the peak of his life, how could he commit suicide?"
"Also," Zhong Nianyao raised her head and glanced at Ou Xuanhan, "Ou Xuanhan is definitely not the reincarnation of Li Xuan. You've got the wrong person."
When they saw the look Zhong Nianyao gave Ou Xuanhan, Ou Liyan and Zhao Yazi's hearts were hanging in the air. It was not until Zhong Nianyao spoke that their hearts finally settled down.
"Impossible." Chen Wanwan subconsciously refuted, "They look exactly the same."
"Even if they are exactly the same, it doesn't necessarily mean reincarnation!" Zhong Nianyao shook her head, "Because Li Xuan has not been reincarnated until now."
"What?" Chen Wanwan couldn't believe her ears. "He hasn't been reincarnated yet. Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could he not have been reincarnated?"
Chen Wanwan was distraught and seemed particularly confused. Because everything Zhong Nianyao said today was almost completely different from what she remembered. She didn't know whether she should believe her. She didn't know whether Zhong Nianyao had deliberately lied to her in order to break up her marriage with Ou Xuanhan.
"If you don't believe it, we can ask the Yinchai!" Zhong Nianyao said directly, "I'll invite the Yinchai up now, and you can ask it yourself."
Normally, a celestial master couldn't summon a ghost messenger. Even her master in her previous life in the Kingdom of Li couldn't summon one either. But for some reason, she was able to do this. According to her master, only their founder in the Guiguzi School could do this.
It was for this reason that her master had always said she was very talented. It was a pity that in her previous life, she died early in order to save the people of Li. Otherwise, her achievements would have been even greater.
"The ten directions of the world, the void above and below, are everywhere, and there is no void where I do not appear. I respectfully invite the Lord of the Underworld to come and bind myself."
As the spell was recited, Zhong Nian Yao quickly formed seals with her hands.
Suddenly, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly, a cloud of smoke appeared, and then a figure dressed in black and wearing a "Peace in the World" hat appeared in front of everyone.
Even the Ou family, despite their limited experience, knew that the one before them was the legendary Black Impermanence. They not only showed even greater respect for Zhong Nianyao, but also realized that the fact that she could summon a demonic demon showed how powerful she was. At least until now, they had never heard of any Heavenly Master being able to summon a demonic demon.
The moment Hei Wuchang appeared, Chen Wanwan couldn't help but float towards the corner. The ghost shadow became fainter, and there was fear in her eyes.
This is the subconscious reaction of every ghost when facing the Yincha.
"Master Hei, long time no see!" Zhong Nianyao greeted him familiarly, "How have you been lately?"
"It's pretty good."
Even when seeing the completely different Zhong Nianyao, Hei Wuchang's tone didn't change at all. His words were sinister and chilling. "Miss Zhong, is there something you want me to do this time? Do you want to take this little brat away?"
As he spoke, his eyes were already on Chen Wanwan.
Chen Wanwan, who was almost hiding in the corner, couldn't help feeling scared when she met Hei Wuchang's gaze. Her body shrank involuntarily, trying to reduce her presence.
"No, I just have something I want to ask Master Hei." Zhong Nianyao spoke very freely, "This female ghost is called Chen Wanwan. She was abandoned by her fiancé, who she had secretly arranged to marry her, and eventually died of depression. But I calculated that her fiancé hasn't been reincarnated yet. That's why I wanted to ask. I hope Master Hei will give me some convenience."
"It's a small matter."
Hei Wuchang quickly pulled out a notebook and, after flipping through it, said, "Indeed, this Li Xuan hasn't been reincarnated yet. He's been wandering around the Naihe Bridge for the past few hundred years, waiting for his lover, Chen Wanwan."
"What?" Chen Wanwan immediately floated over. "You said Li Xuan hadn't reincarnated and had been waiting for me, right?"
She never thought that the result would be like this, but——
"Impossible, this is impossible. He's clearly about to marry the princess. He's already abandoned me, so how could he still be waiting for me?"
Zhong Nianyao glanced at the distraught Chen Wanwan and asked directly, "Master Hei, if it is convenient, could you please tell me the details of what happened so that she can also understand what is going on?"
Everything that happens in a person's life is recorded in the Book of Life and Death, which serves as the basis for their next rebirth. Those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue will be reborn in a good way, while those who commit many evil deeds will be punished in the eighteen levels of hell, and may even end up as animals.
This is also a warning to everyone that good and evil will eventually be rewarded. People do things and God sees them. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions.
However, not everyone can view the information on the Book of Life and Death, so she is not sure whether Hei Wuchang is willing to tell it.
In response to Zhong Nian Yao's request, Hei Wuchang did not hide anything and told her the whole story directly.
It turned out that Li Xuan had indeed caught the princess's eye after graduating from high school. However, he did not break his vows to Chen Wanwan. He directly told her that he was engaged and politely declined the princess' offer.
Although the princess was angry, she also admired Li Xuan's courage and responsibility, so she did not vent her anger on him.
However, after Li Xuan graduated from high school and returned home with honors, he was informed that Chen Wanwan had passed away. He was so grief-stricken that he committed suicide shortly afterwards.
But after going to hell, he knew that Chen Wanwan's soul had not been reincarnated yet, so he kept wandering on the Naihe Bridge, just to get Chen Wanwan and continue their previous relationship.
After listening to Hei Wuchang's story, Chen Wanwan was already in tears. She had never expected that just because of a misunderstanding, the two people who loved each other would be separated for so many years.
