Just as the old woman was about to attack him, the girl who called herself Yama appeared.
She was very cool; she killed the old woman in the blink of an eye.
She was just a child then, a little shorter than him, but her chubby face was incredibly cute, and her eyes were like obsidian.
Although she acted as mature and calm as an adult, her childlike voice was so endearing that it almost melted people's hearts.
At that moment, he couldn't see anything else; he only felt...
This little girl is so cool.
Behind her followed a group of people of all shapes and sizes.
You could say it's a person, or you could say it isn't.
Because they have no physical form.
But he wasn't afraid, because she was there, and she was leading them.
He still remembered that the first thing she said after killing the old woman was, "Little children shouldn't run around at night, or they might run into bad things."
"Hmm? How come you, a child, have such a heavy yin energy? Did you get tainted by that old woman's turbid energy? This won't do, otherwise, unclean things will come after you in the future."
"Today is the first time that I, the King of Hell, have come to the mortal world and made my first appearance. You are also the first person I, the King of Hell, have met in the mortal world. So you are destined to meet. I will lend you this."
"It can ward off evil spirits and suppress and purify the yin energy leaking from your body. Remember to wear it every day, even if you don't wear it on your hand, you should keep it on your body."
"Please remember not to lose it, this is my treasure, there is only one of its kind in the world."
She was clearly a child herself, yet she scolded her like an adult, hands on her hips.
After talking to herself, she handed him the string of beads that glowed faintly red in the darkness from her wrist, telling him to take good care of it and not to lose it, before turning to leave.
He came to his senses and timidly called out to her, "You saved me, you... what's your name?"
The young girl in front of him stopped, turned to look at him, and smiled, "King Yama, Jiang Yuan."
Yes, she said her name was Jiang Yuan.
He should have remembered it.
But he couldn't remember, not even her face.
The only way to remember her name is Yama, the King of Hell, is through constant recollection and dreams.
"Will you come back to take this bracelet later? Will I ever see you again?" He remembered asking that question back then.
She smiled slightly and gave an affirmative answer, "Of course, these are my things, and I will come back to get them one day."
After saying this, she led the hundred ghosts into the air and paraded forward.
She was at the very front, and all the ghosts followed her in an orderly fashion, as if she were their leader.
He waited for her to come back and take the bracelet, and waited to see her again.
However, he waits for the Ghost Festival every year.
In the end, he never saw her again.
"Jiang Ningyuan?" Jiang Yuan was stunned when she saw Jiang Ningyuan in front of her, as if she had not expected him to appear here.
"Mm," Jiang Ningyuan replied with a soft "Mm."
"I..." Jiang Ningyuan began, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yuan interrupted, "Put me down, and then...run!"
Jiang Yuan looked up at the black mist that was rushing towards them at top speed, her expression tense.
She won't be harmed by that dark aura, but Jiang Ningyuan is just an ordinary person.
If he encounters so much black energy, his mind will definitely be affected!
resentment.
It is the most likely thing to breed resentment in a person.
A little bit of resentment is no big deal, but if the resentment exceeds what your body can handle, then something serious will definitely happen!
Jiang Ningyuan shouldn't have come here!
Jiang Ningyuan noticed that Jiang Yuan in his arms was staring at the sky, so he followed her gaze.
However, all he could see was a dark mass hovering in mid-air, blocking out the moon and stars and enveloping H City.
That dark, indistinct thing didn't look like what I'd seen in the live stream before.
What he saw in the live stream was formed and had a shape, but he couldn't make out the shape of those things. However, he couldn't make out the shape of the things in front of him.
Or rather, it never had a shape to begin with, and looking at it for too long can feel a bit depressing.
This feeling of oppression welled up from within.
A gust of wind howled past, causing Jiang Ningyuan's hair to sway wildly and even stinging his face.
Jiang Ningyuan held Jiang Yuan tightly, his eyes fixed on what was in front of him.
He could see the dark figures rushing towards them, but...
He couldn't bring himself to abandon Jiang Yuan and run away.
On that Ghost Festival, it was Jiang Yuan who saved him from those ghosts and gave him a reddish-brown stone bead to ward off evil.
Since then, he has never been haunted by ghosts again, and the string of reddish-brown stone beads has accompanied him to this day.
Now that Jiang Yuan is in danger, how could he possibly let her escape while he is in danger?
Seeing the rapidly approaching black shadow, Jiang Ningyuan's handsome face was filled with coldness, and even his eyes seemed to be frozen.
Jiang Yuanxin tensed up, her eyes reflecting the approaching black shadow.
Just as the dark figure was about to pounce...
Bang--
As if something was protecting them, it repelled the shadowy figure.
Jiang Ningyuan felt the stone bead on his wrist getting hot, and his body gradually became hot as well, as if he had been thrown into a furnace, or as if something was about to burst out of his body.
Unfamiliar scenes flooded my mind, and a strange yet familiar voice echoed in my ears.
What's your name?
“My master said my name is Ah Wu.”
"Ah, Wu, that's a strange name. Why make a little kid the imperial advisor to assist me?"
"What? Have all the people from Star Mountain died out?"
“My master said that I have no father or mother, no heart, and no seven emotions or six desires, so I am called Ah Wu.”
"The senior brothers and sisters of Xingchen Mountain are in good health and are currently in good condition. However... I am the most powerful one on Xingchen Mountain, so they sent me here."
"From this day forward, Ah Wu will be your national advisor."
"Pfft, how can a person be without a heart and without emotions and desires? Your master is just coaxing children."
"I didn't mean it."
A scene flashed through my mind.
A little girl wearing a loose-fitting Taoist robe took the little boy's hand and placed it on her left atrium.
The little boy's face flushed instantly, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, looking at the little girl in surprise.
"You, you really have no heart?" the little boy asked in surprise, looking at the little girl in front of him as if she were a monster.
"Mmm," the little girl hummed in agreement.
"You, you stay away from me... You, you get away from me!" The little boy was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, a look of fear on his face.
“I am your royal advisor, and I will never harm you. Besides… you have a fever.” The little girl in front of him seemed not to understand what the little boy was saying. She walked straight up to him, raised her little hand and placed it on his forehead, speaking like an adult.
She then took out a piece of ginger from her tattered little bag, stuffed it directly into the little boy's mouth, and then took out a talisman and stuck it on his body.
