In the distance, Zhang Baiyi had come to the valley, looking for someone everywhere. When he saw the girl he was worried about, he rode his horse towards her, jumped off, and hugged her in his arms.
Luo Yunyan was stunned, but she knew he was worried about her, so she patted him and comforted him, "I'm fine. Not only am I fine, I feel even more powerful. I can be arrogant and domineering now."
Zhang Baiyi: …
The two of them stood side by side and watched the heroic souls, shining like night pearls, twinkling under the starry sky and in the valley.
Zhang Baiyi suddenly said, "That's not how the word is used."
Luo Yunyan was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you say it just now?"
"It ruins the atmosphere."
Luo Yunyan said angrily: "You won't destroy it now?!"
Zhang Baiyi said: "I don't hold her anymore."
"You..." Luo Yunyan was stunned and decided to ignore him. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then what about doing whatever you want?"
"That's not right. Never mind... You can be so arrogant and do whatever you want. I'll do my best to protect you in the living world, and I don't think you're afraid of the underworld either."
After hearing this, Luo Yunyan suddenly remembered that she was engaged to Zhang Baiyi before she was killed for the second time in the soul-sucking array illusion. Her cheeks turned red. Fortunately, it was dark and he should not be able to see it.
Zhang Baiyi said, "Yunyan, we are engaged in the illusion inside the soul-sucking array..."
"Ah?!" Luo Yunyan didn't know that people outside the formation could see what was happening inside the formation through the mother-child jade. She felt embarrassed and anxious.
After listening to Zhang Baiyi's explanation of the reason, I really didn't want to see anyone when I thought about so many people hearing her say, "I'm willing to marry you."
Zhang Baiyi said, "Let's, um... get engaged!"
"Actually... everything your father said in the illusion was true."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. I'll propose marriage when we get back to Kyoto."
The woman remained silent. Zhang Baiyi felt uneasy and finally looked to the side, only to see Luo Yunyan lying on the ground.
Zhang Baiyi was so frightened that he hurriedly picked her up and rushed back to find the abbot of Tianyuan Temple.
After looking at her, the abbot said, "She just fell asleep due to exhaustion. Let her have a good rest."
Zhang Baiyi felt relieved and settled Yun Yan. He then went to the abbot and asked, "Has this formation been broken, but has the Yin Bing technique been resolved?"
The abbot said, "It's only half. We still need to return the soul to its place."
Zhang Baiyi asked, "Where will the ghosts released here go? How will the eight thousand captured souls return to their rightful place?"
The abbot said: "The ghost has been released, and the underworld is its final resting place, but a stone tablet must be erected in Labagou.
Before Lao Na came, he asked the Ministry of War. In order to cover up the truth about Labagou, the time of death of the 8,000 heroes was mostly falsified. Those whose time was correct were added with the names of people who drew salaries without working, creating the false appearance in military records that none of the 8,000 people died at that time and place.
Before reincarnation, the souls of the dead can only come out of the underworld on memorial days to enjoy the fireworks and offerings of the human world. The souls of the dead come out of the underworld on memorial days, but no one offers commemoration to them, or the time of commemoration is wrong. They lose the guidance of the incense and burning candles of their relatives and friends on earth, and cannot reach their home, so they can only go to the burial place after death.
Eight thousand dead souls came to the same place on the same day. This was probably discovered by the demons, so they set up a soul-sucking formation there, detaining them inside the formation, preventing them from returning to the underworld and turning them into ghost soldiers.
Now that the souls have been released, not only will the records of the eight thousand fallen soldiers be corrected and returned to their families, but a monument will also be erected here. If any souls still have no relatives to pay their respects to and can only come to the burial ground, they will have a place to rest. If soldiers and civilians can come here to pay their respects, even lonely souls can receive some incense and offerings."
Zhang Baiyi said, "The revised death certificate has already been issued by the court, but are there any special requirements for erecting a monument here?"
The abbot said, "The stele should have the name and date of birth and death, nothing else."
Zhang Baiyi nodded and said, "Thank you, Abbot. May I ask you again, how can the eight thousand souls return to their places?"
The abbot said, "I'm afraid I'll have to go to Yunlan Temple for advice on this matter." He paused and added, "Our three temples are slightly different. To put it simply, Tianyuan Temple guards the 'Gate of Death,' Yunlan Temple guards the 'Gate of Life,' and Lingtai Temple guards the mundane world."
Zhang Baiyi returned to his residence and began to write a memorial. At the end, he did not forget to ask for credit for Tianyuan Temple and Luo Yunyan.
After Luo Yunyan woke up, she went to check on the injuries of the six monks and treated them using the Gu doctor's method. The six monks indeed felt much better.
Yun Yan took the responsibility: "If you still feel unwell after returning to Kyoto, I will ask the Ghost Valley Strange Doctor to help you."
Because the identity of this Guigu Strange Doctor has not been revealed, people are not clear about the father-daughter relationship. But since she is the high priestess of the Gu tribe, she would not speak nonsense. Let's believe it with suspicion for now!
Zhang Baiyi invited Luo Yunyan to return to Kyoto and go to Yunlan Temple with him. Luo Yunyan wanted to go back to her home in Kyoto to lie down, so she asked, "Why?"
Zhang Baiyi said: "The husband sings and the wife follows."
After Luo Yunyan understood what he meant, she decided to ignore him again.
Zhang Baixu said, "Yunlan Temple is famous for its vegetarian banquets."
Luo Yunyan's heart was moved.
I received another letter from home. The Ghost Valley Doctor wrote, "I'm so relieved to know that you're safe. I need a female nurse for the Hongxiu Embroidery Workshop in Kyoto. Money is not a big deal. Please learn some basic needlework when you get back."
After Luo Yunyan finished reading, she didn't want to go to the embroidery workshop at all. She found Zhang Baiyi and said, "I'll go to Yunlan Temple with you."
By the time she was climbing the stone steps of Yunlan Temple, Luo Yunyan regretted it. How much vegetarian food would she have to eat to make up for her losses? She was exhausted.
There were simple sedan chairs for soliciting business, similar to a bamboo chair fixed on two poles. Luo Yunyan was overjoyed to see them. Just as she stopped one, an old lady next to her pulled her back and said, "Don't sit in it. It's too dark and the price is too high!"
Then the sedan chair was taken by someone else. Luo Yunyan was stunned. The old lady comforted her: "That person is unlucky, and you are lucky. Let her spend money! We are walking up, and our hearts are more sincere."
My legs can’t move now.
Luo Yunyan looked at the woman riding in the sedan chair with envy and asked, "Auntie, do you seem to know her?"
The old lady said, "Of course I don't recognize her. She's my daughter-in-law. She was reluctant to pay for the ride, so I paid for it. This spendthrift just got on."
Luo Yunyan was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on. Then she saw the old lady walking away briskly with several old men and women of the same age, and she was even more dumbfounded.
Zhang Baiyi saw that Luo Yunyan looked really cute, and her smile made all the female pilgrims secretly look at him. She was already pretty, and this smile was even more special.
Zhang Baiyi waved his hand, and a sedan stopped in front of Luo Yunyan. A red bamboo sign was hung on the sedan, indicating that it had been chartered. It turned out that it had been following closely.
This made Luo Yunyan angry again, and she decided to ignore him.
However, when they got to the mountain, with the visiting card of Duke Dingguo, they entered the side room in the backyard to rest. A table of vegetarian dishes was served. Luo Yunyan ate with a smile on her face, and her temper disappeared.
Then I heard Zhang Baiyi asking the monk of Yunlan Temple how to let the eight thousand souls return to their places.
