old grace

Yin world, ghost house.

After Xie Qinghe regained his cultivation, he set up an altar in Huangquanyin to reshape all the ghosts who died in battle.

The Great Yin Yang Talisman raided the Yin Realm and killed the ghost mansion by surprise. Except for the remnants of Long Chen who were snatched away by the guards and ghost guards when he died in battle, the rest of the ghost guards had no time to collect them when they died. The leftover powder was scattered on the high platform of Huangquan Yin Down, and many of them passed away along the Styx.

All the ghosts are well aware that some old ghosts of colleagues can be revived by the Emperor of Samsara, and some companions may not have memories after they are alive.

If unfortunately washed away by the Styx, there is no chance of being resurrected by the Great Emperor of Samsara.

Xie Qinghe used his boundless mana to set up the altar. Long Chen's altar was set up on the east side of the main altar, and behind it were small soul lamps, gathering all the leftover powder, and then nourishing it with ghost energy, waiting for the sacrifice. The feast is over.

In the main altar, ghosts who died in this battle and regretted that they could not be revived are enshrined, so as to bless the shadows in the afterlife nourished by their ghost aura.

After setting up the altar, Xie Qinghe still has to take care of it for a few days, and he can't escape to the world of the living for the time being.

However, he doesn't have to stay by the altar all the time.

Xie Qinghe returned to his former residence, reclined on the familiar couch, surrounded by silent silence and darkness in all directions.

The part of the memory belonging to the reincarnated emperor is very used to and is at peace with this kind of darkness and peace, while the part of the memory that has tasted the sunny scenery in the mortal world feels that such pure dead darkness is very strange.Xie Qinghe's self-awareness has not wavered in any way, but some small habits in the details of life will always come to an end before he finds that he needs to re-adapt and choose the part he likes more.

In the past, I always stayed in a dead and dark place, because there was no sunshine in the underworld, and Xie Qinghe had no choice at all.

After entering reincarnation, Xie Qinghe likes to drink tea on the terrace for entertainment, and even sits on the couch by the window to read and write. The feeling of bathing in the bright sky is very good.He felt that he liked life in Yang Shi.

The dragon girl said that it is not good to be a fairy in Sangshan Mountain, but it is better to be a junior teacher.

Xie Qinghe also felt that it was not good to be the Great Emperor of Reincarnation, but it was better to be Xie Qinghe.

All in all, be nice.

Thinking of this, when the mind moved, the originally dark and dull dormitory was full of brilliance, and the dome seemed to open nine secluded holes, directly shining into the sky.

——Like, that's all.

From the outside, the bedroom of the Emperor of Samsara was still gloomy, immersed in darkness.Only when you step into the door of the dormitory, can you see the bright light on the dome of the palace, as if the roof was lifted and the clouds and the sun were borrowed.

Xie Qinghe likes the bright sky in the Yang world, but ghosts in the Yin world may not like it.

Just as people in the yang world don't like the gloomy and dark ghost houses, fish and shrimp in the water don't like the dry and solid earth.

With the light as bright as day, Xie Qinghe re-examined his bedroom that had been hidden in the darkness for tens of thousands of years. After all, everything he perceived and what he saw in the light were two perceptions. Everything around him was so familiar yet so strange novel.

He saw his robe hanging on the hanger.

The blood moon, the only light in the underworld, is a magic weapon refined by Emperor Samsara. The light is dim and soft, and there is color difference when it illuminates objects.

There is no printing and dyeing technology in the ghost mansion, and the native silk and silk are all the primary colors of grass silk weaving.Sometimes the ghosts brought down from the underworld will receive sacrifices burned down by relatives in the yang world. The paper-made clothes and quilts are of various colors, which are colorful, and they are still just deep and shallow shadows under the blood moon. Really pick out specific colors.

Therefore, after reincarnation entered the world, Xie Qinghe liked to wear beautiful clothes, and embroidered all kinds of patterns he liked on the clothes.

He looked at the dusty robe he had hung on the clothes hanger many years ago, and couldn't help laughing.

I like to wear the clothes of the world, I like to eat the fireworks in the world, I like everything about being human, and I don’t want to give up even if I have achieved success in cultivation.

This is the longing and joy hidden in Xie Qinghe's bones. Even if he lost the memory of his previous life, he wanted to be a fairy, and he was looking forward to being a fairy who enjoys leisurely and accompanied by flowers and wine.

Xie Qinghe wandered around in the bedroom, recalling everything in his previous life.When they were having fun, Shu Guang greeted him outside the door: "My son pays homage to His Majesty."

"Come in." Xie Qinghe agreed casually.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shu Guang entered the door, the true energy of the body protection popped out, and the sword was on the verge of breaking out.

Seeing that he was on guard against the bright sky above his head, Xie Qinghe realized that he had mistaken the small sky for the attack of the big Yin-Yang talisman, and dimmed the sky with a wave of his hand, comforting him: "No problem. I did it according to the light of the sun, It's not Huang Quan who cited that thing."

As soon as the light dimmed, Shu Guang knew that he had made a joke, he put away all his guard, and first stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Father."

"You don't need to be too polite." Xie Qinghe was an apprentice in the Hanjiang Sword Sect. He practiced magic and raised many children. Recalling his poor performance when he was the Emperor of Reincarnation, he felt that he had treated Shuguang and Longchen a little bit badly. , changed his mind, "Sit."

Shu Guang suddenly felt flattered.

Everyday when I come to see the Great Emperor of Samsara, I just stand up and leave after finishing my business, so there is actually a seat today?He didn't even know where to sit.

Fortunately, seeing him in a daze, Xie Qinghe pointed out the location for him, and Shu Guang went over to sit down in a daze.When he sat down firmly, he suddenly realized that Xie Qinghe was still standing, so he hurriedly got up again, stood on the spot, bowed awkwardly, and waited for Xie Qinghe to take his seat first.

Xie Qinghe reached out and pressed his shoulder, and taught him again: "There is no need to be polite. Sit down."

Shu Guang only felt frightened, bent his knees and squatted down next to the edge of the couch, bowed his head and said: "I know that I can't defend the land effectively, and the war damage is close to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which will delay the normal reincarnation for 310 days. I don’t know how to deal with the divine artifact from the upper realm that invaded Huangquanyin... I am incompetent. Please forgive me.”

"When Ye Qingxu re-sacrificed the Great Yin-Yang Talisman, he came to the Yin Realm to absorb ghost energy. If I'm not mistaken, what he stole was the Nine Nether Origins that I sealed in the Styx River. If I missed it, it was because I didn't keep my cultivation well. .You can't beat me, so what's your crime?" Xie Qinghe patted the edge of the couch, "I let you sit, and you sit down. I'll talk to you."

Shu Guang could feel the tenderness and sincerity in his words, which was very different from the previous emperor of reincarnation.

After thinking for a while, Shu Guang obediently sat down on the couch slowly, still bowing his head respectfully: "My son is here."

He is so respectful and trembling, Xie Qinghe really wants to be filial to his father, but I am afraid that in Shu Guang's mind, the distinction between monarch and minister is far greater than the relationship between father and son.Xie Qinghe has practiced countless times in magic, and Xie Qinghe also knows that feelings can be gotten along, and one cannot rely on the rules of one's status, nor can one just say it out of mouth.I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​"reminiscing about old feelings", and instead asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

"Father hasn't returned in reincarnation for many years, and my son came to report on his duties." Shu Guang was about to stand up as he spoke.

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Xie Qinghe greeted again.After pressing Shuguang back, he asked as gently as possible, "Apart from the big Yin-Yang Talisman blocking Huang Quanyin, is there any other big deal?"

Shu Guang was dumbfounded by the question.

He only encountered once in his life when the big Yin-Yang Talisman entered the underworld.Nothing compares to that.

Xie Qinghe poured him a glass of Youquan wine, and said with a smile, "That's all gone." Holding the wine glass, he touched Shu Guang forcefully, "I'll leave as soon as I say, the ghost mansion is entrusted to you and Longchen, thank you for your hard work." wait."

Xie Qinghe drank a full cup, Shu Guang didn't even have a chance to say goodbye, so he quickly drank it down in one gulp, before saying: "It's all a servant's duty."

Xie Qinghe poured wine for him again with the jug, but couldn't say no, holding the cup in both hands and kept bowing: "Father is serious. Thank you for giving me the wine. Son..."

Before the words fell, Xie Qinghe raised his hand to stop his incessant flattery, and said: "I have practiced in the mortal world for many years, and I have been the son of many people, and I have also been the father of many people. You, treat me like a minister. Jun, it’s not the son’s love for Lao Tzu.”

This sentence was getting more and more difficult for Shu Guang, and after a while he said embarrassingly: "The minister is guilty."

"You are the incarnation of the shadow of the Styx, and you are different from ordinary people. You don't have blood relatives to rely on, so you don't understand the rascality of blood and blood. If you are a father, you are the dependence of your children. No matter how unworthy the child is, you must be tolerant ——What was born by oneself can never be stuffed back.” Xie Qinghe said.

Shuguang was silent.

All mortals are born of the blood of their father and mother, and they cannot be plugged back after they are born.A shadowy ghost like him can really be pushed back!

Cut it into powder with a single sword, and sprinkled it back to Yinshan of Minghe River, waiting for the Emperor of Reincarnation to hold it up and blow on it casually when the Great Emperor of Samsara was touring the mountains and plains, and he became a brand new ghost pawn.Can it be compared with ordinary people?

Xie Qinghe scratched his head, and asked: "I have been in the ghost mansion for so many years, and there are only two children, you and Long Chen. I didn't know how to be a father or an elder before, but now I gradually understand that you also You can be 'rogue'."

Shuguang worked hard to digest every word Xie Qinghe said, trying to find the key point of this conversation.

Unlike the taciturn and unpredictable reincarnation emperor in the past, Xie Qinghe is used to being the senior brother of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, and he is very good at highlighting the key points for the children: "In these years, I have seldom been directors in the ghost mansion, and all the affairs are handed over to You and Long Chen deal with it. After the sacrificial ceremony is over, I will enter reincarnation again, and I may not live in the ghost mansion forever—since you are my son, the family property must be handed over to you."

Shu Guang was so frightened that the Youquan wine in the cup spilled out, Xie Qinghe couldn't hold him anymore, and stood up abruptly: "Father, Your Majesty! This matter must not be..."

"Why not? You don't want to stay in the ghost mansion anymore, you want to find another job?" Xie Qinghe frowned.

"No, I dare not." Shu Guang immediately denied, "Father is really inseparable from the ghost mansion. For example, the matter cited by Huang Quan, both Erchen and Long Chen are powerless to deal with it, so I invite my father to sit in the ghost mansion."

"The attack of the big yin and yang talisman is rare in tens of thousands of years. Besides, although I don't live in the ghost mansion, you can come to me if you have anything to do. I have told you several times. You are my son, and I am Your father, it is only right and proper for a son to ask his father for his help. From now on, you and Longchen will be in charge of all the ghost houses, and come to me if there is any trouble." Xie Qinghe asked softly again and again, "Understood?"

To put it simply, Emperor Reincarnation doesn't want to go to work anymore, he wants to retreat to the second line.

Shu Guang thought of the glare of the sky when he just entered the door, which was a scenery unique to the Yang Dynasty.Your Majesty must like life in Yangshi very much, right?Once you become a human, you don't want to be a ghost anymore.No.All ghost houses are transformed by shadows, but His Majesty was born before chaos.He is not a ghost at all.

After a moment of silence, Shu Guang nodded slowly, and couldn't help asking: "Father, is it really that good to be a human being?"

Xie Qinghe's first thought turned out to be the face of the younger brother, and he couldn't help but think of all the things he had with Fu Chuan, and the expression in his eyes became extremely gentle in an instant: "Of course it's very good. Being a bad person, why reincarnation? If you have If you are interested, you can also reincarnate to the human world to try what it is like to be a human being. Human beings have flesh and blood, connect the seven emotions and six desires, eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and have the gift of Dunlun, which is very happy."

Shu Guang has been dealing with the reincarnation of ghosts, so of course he knows everything in the mortal world.

However, knowing and experiencing are completely different tastes.Xie Qinghe only really realized the joy of being a human being after reincarnation and entering the world. Shuguang has accumulated a lot of useless experience in the ghost mansion, which is all on paper.Without □□mortal womb, all speculation is just fantasy.

He was a little itchy when he was told by Xie Qinghe, but he just remembered that Xie Qinghe was going to retire soon, leaving him to guard the Tuzhen mansion, how could he get away?

"If I have some free time, I will give it a try." Shu Guang secretly wrote down this matter.

Shuguang originally came to report on his duties and listen to training, Xie Qinghe said clearly that he was going to leave the ghost mansion to ignore trivial matters, and Shuguang didn't dare to use his prepared speech to annoy him.Normally, Shu Guang had no experience chatting with Emperor Samsara, and wanted to leave since he had nothing to do, but Xie Qinghe grabbed him and poured a few glasses of wine, and the two chatted for a long time.

Xie Qinghe has experience in getting along with juniors, and he is also very calm in guiding topics, mostly talking about reincarnation experiences, and occasionally chatting with Shu Guang about how he thinks father and son should be "playing rogues" when they get along.After all, Xie Qinghe doesn't have double standards in this matter.No matter how he was a rascal to Shangguan Shiyi, he allowed his disciples to be rascals to himself - how to be a father and a master, he mostly learned from Shangguan Shiyi.

Shu Guang felt that this conversation was very strange, he heard a lot of messy stories, and was rubbed on the head several times by Emperor Samsara.

It is said in the common world that the monarch, ministers, father and son are all models.Why is father and son so different in Father's eyes?

After leaving the apse bedroom, Shu Guang sat cross-legged beside Long Chen's altar with a half-jar of unfinished Youquan wine, and murmured against the cold, wet, bloody ground, "Long Chen, Come over here quickly. If you delay for a few more days, my father will go to the world of mortals."

He stroked the faint light on the altar with his hand, and sighed softly: "We have a father. It is the real father! Not... Your Majesty."

After sticking to the ground for a while, he sat up again and sprinkled the Nether Spring wine he brought on the altar.

"Father rewarded me with wine. You drink it like this first, and when you get up, I will take you to Father's bedroom to drink." Shu Guang looked down at the wine seeping into the wet soil little by little, and heaved a sigh of relief, "I can drink it Huh? Recovery is pretty fast. Longchen, I'll wait for you. Hurry up and come alive!"
