Chapter 395: Memories of Past Lives (Part 4)
As he was speaking, Yaohua's voice came.
"Senior Brother Mingyuan, Senior Brother Mingyuan!"
Mingyuan immediately regained his composure, looked at Yaohua who had hurried in, and asked softly:
"What's wrong?"
Yaohua's eyes were still red, with traces of tears still there. Mingyuan frowned immediately:
"Why are you crying?"
"Senior Brother, can you let Bai Mu out?" Yao Hua asked.
"Who is Bai Mu?" Ming Yuan asked puzzledly.
"He's such a pitiful ghost trapped in the red lotus fire!" Yaohua pouted and was about to cry again as she spoke.
Ming Yuan quickly wiped away her tears: "Don't cry first, tell me, what happened?"
Yaohua told the story of Bai Mu and King Lunzhuan, and Mingyuan frowned slightly:
"The King of Hell shouldn't be sentimental. If we let him go, where will the rules of the underworld be?"
"Really can't let it go?" Yaohua asked again.
Ming Yuan shook his head helplessly: "I rarely interfere in the affairs of the underworld. Since he has made a mistake, he can only follow the rules."
Yaohua lowered his head: "Okay!"
"Don't cry. If you want to hear stories, there are many ghosts in the underworld who tell stories and sing operas."
Yaohua nodded and left without saying a word.
Mingyuan sighed helplessly. Yaohua was soft-hearted and naive, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to keep her in the underworld.
Yaohua returned to his tree house in a depressed mood, lay on the branches and sighed heavily.
"Are you so upset because of a ghost you just met?"
When Di Xiao's voice came, Yaohua quickly sat up, only to see that Di Xiao had sat down next to her without her knowing.
"Di Xiao, why are you here?" Yaohua asked.
"Do you sympathize with that ghost?" Di Xiao said.
Yao Hua nodded and said, "I guard the Ghost Gate every day and have seen many ghosts who died unjustly. They make mistakes for various reasons, so even if they enter here, they cannot be reincarnated immediately.
Many ghosts deserve sympathy, but I have no intention of letting them go. Because they have made mistakes and must be punished no matter what the reason.
But Bai Mu is different. If it weren't for King Yama, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
"But the King of Hell is ruthless. It is wrong for the reincarnation to fall in love. Bai Mu may be being punished for the reincarnation!" said Di Xiao.
"Why? Why can't the King of Hell have feelings?" Yaohua looked at Dixiao in confusion.
Emperor Xiao didn't know either, he was born like this, and it was a mistake for the King of Hell to have feelings.
"This is the way of heaven, why should there be any reason?" Emperor Xiao said lightly.
"I don't believe it! If all cowardice can be excused by Heaven's Law, then the Lord God will be blamed for many things."
Hearing this, Emperor Xiao was slightly stunned, and then chuckled:
"This is the first time I've heard something like this!"
"Isn't it? Di Xiao, you are the Emperor of Fengdu. Does the way of heaven dictate whether you can be compassionate or ruthless?"
Di Xiao turned his head and looked into Yao Hua's eyes for a moment before saying:
"The Way of Heaven was co-created by me, Hades, and the Lord God. It has no right to dictate to me."
"So it was you who made the rule that the King of Hell is ruthless?" Yao Hua frowned.
For some reason, Emperor Xiao subconsciously raised his hands in surrender: "I don't have any!"
"Is that Senior Brother Mingyuan?" Yaohua frowned.
"Maybe! The foundation of the Heavenly Dao is the power of Hongmeng. The three of us are only assisting in stimulating the Heavenly Dao and have not set clear limits. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao is in the hearts of the creatures in the Three Realms." Emperor Xiao said.
Yao Hua sighed again: "No matter how it was formed, I can't save Bai Mu."
"Since he can't be saved, let him live as long as possible. As long as he's alive, there's hope. If his soul scatters, there will be no hope at all." Di Xiao said.
"I gave him a peach blossom petal, so he won't be scared to death for the time being." Yaohua said.
Seeing Yaohua's depressed mood, Emperor Xiao suddenly asked, "Have you been to Fengdu?"
Yaohua shook his head: "I've never even been to the underworld, so how could I have been to Fengdu?"
"I'll take you to see it, okay?"
Hearing this, Yaohua's eyes lit up instantly: "Can you take me out?"
"certainly!"
"But if I leave, there will be no one guarding the Ghost Gate." Yaohua said.
Emperor Xiao gently plucked a peach blossom and transformed it into Yaohua's appearance.
"It will guard it for you. If anything happens, I will take responsibility." said Emperor Xiao.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Yaohua said excitedly.
The corners of Emperor Xiao's mouth had been raised since someone knew when, and they had never been lowered.
Fengdu is completely different from the underworld. It is filled with ghosts who do not want to be reincarnated and have settled here, forming a city.
Apart from the essential differences between humans and ghosts, there is no difference between this place and the human world.
"It's so lively here, much more fun than the underworld!" Yaohua said excitedly.
"Yeah?"
Emperor Xiao looked at the bustling streets, which seemed really interesting. Why hadn't he noticed it before?
"Emperor Xiao, look at this, is it good-looking?"
Yaohua picked up a ghost face mask and put it on his face.
"ugly!"
Di Xiao originally wanted to say that this mask was not as beautiful as her original face, but somehow it turned into the word "ugly" when it came to his lips.
Yaohua looked at the ghost face mask without getting angry: "Okay! It's pretty ugly!"
After saying that, Yaohua came to a fruit stall.
The fruits in Fengdu are not the apples, bananas and pears in the human world, but things like the Soul-Strengthening Fruit, the Yellow Spring Fruit, and the Human Flesh Fruit.
"This fruit smells so good!" Yaohua picked up a Huangquan fruit and said with a smile.
"Miss, this is the Yellow Spring Fruit, very fresh, one hundred ghost coins each."
Yaohua touched her body. The ghost money was burned to them by the family of the deceased during festivals, but she was a peach blossom demon, so who would burn ghost money for her?
"Di Xiao, do you have ghost money?" Yao Hua asked.
Emperor Xiao shook his head. As an emperor, he would never wear such vulgar things!
"All right!"
Yaohua reluctantly put down the Huangquan Fruit and continued walking forward.
Not long after, Emperor Xiao caught up with him, holding a basket of Yellow Spring Fruit in his hand.
"for you!"
Yaohua looked at Dixiao in surprise: "Don't you have ghost money? How did you buy so many fruits?"
Di Xiao pointed at his face and said, "I bought it by scanning my face."
Yaohua was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Emperor Xiao is the Emperor of Fengdu, and the entire Fengdu City belongs to him, let alone a few worthless fruits.
"Do you usually use facial recognition to buy things like this?" Yaohua asked with a smile.
"He doesn't buy things normally, but the ghosts will give him these fruits and paper money later." Di Xiao said.
"I didn't realize that the emperor cares about the people so much. If you were in the human world, you would be a good emperor." Yaohua said with a smile.
Emperor Xiao frowned unhappily: "Why the Emperor?"
"Isn't the emperor good? He has everything that humans care about most: money, power, and people."
"There are too many women, it's annoying!" Di Xiao said seriously.
