Chapter 965
"So that's the case. It seems that the management of Hades is quite humane." Chen Mengqi said.
The three of them continued to walk forward and saw that the people along the way were very happy, playing with those small ancient toys was also a joy, and all the adults were like children. This is probably because they know that reincarnation is inevitable and irreversible, so they want to be happier on the last day and return to their true nature.
After walking for a while, I saw a group of people gathered by a small river from a distance, and I don't know what group activities were being held. There are still people setting off fireworks next to them, and the brilliant fireworks bloom in the sky, which is very beautiful.
When I walked in, it turned out that they were putting lotus lanterns in the river. These lotus lanterns are all made of white paper, with a small piece of candle burning a faint fire inside. At this time, the river was already filled with lotus lanterns, slowly flowing into the distance. The person who puts the lamp is praying devoutly beside him.
Chen Mengqi and Lan Yudie walked in curiously and found that the water in the river was red, like blood. Can't help but ask in surprise, "What are they doing?"
"They are praying for their loved ones in the yang world." Stone replied, "before the souls drink the water of forgetting love, they remember the things in the yang world. Before reincarnation, they will put lamps here to pray for their relatives. Because Once they are reincarnated, they will forget everything. Flying to pray for blessings at the end can be regarded as a good wish."
"Is this kind of blessing from the ghosts useful?" Chen Mengqi said, "In the world of Huaxia Yang, I often hear people say that I hope that so-and-so's spirit in the sky will bless you, and that the ancestors will show their spirits to protect their descendants."
"90% or more are useless, because praying is just a form." Stone said, "But there are exceptions to everything. Those rich ghosts pay for the happiness of their children and grandchildren. There are things like lotus lanterns. But even rich ghosts rarely do this.”
"Look, there isn't even a single magical lotus lantern on the entire river."
"Why are they so stingy and don't make some contributions to the living relatives?" Lan Yudie asked, "The living relatives are also their close relatives after all. Isn't it too impersonal for them to do so?"
"Most ghosts are not rich ghosts, and they don't have ghost coins to buy mana lotus lamps. In addition, think about it again, after reincarnation, ghosts will start another life. The happiness of their relatives in the previous life has nothing to do with them What about things? Moreover, the money of ghosts is the merits of previous lives. How precious things are, who would be willing to use the most precious things to do meaningless things?" Shitou said.
"So that's how it is." Chen Mengqi and Lan Yudie said. I feel quite uncomfortable in my heart. In the life that people live, is family love really so fragile? One life, only a hundred years, is too short. But the cultivation of immortality has thousands of years. It seems that the feeling of being with the Taoist companions encountered in the process of cultivating for thousands of years is the most precious.
"Judges patrol the streets, idlers stay out of the way!"
"Judges patrol the streets, idlers stay out of the way!"
...
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the front. The voice seemed to be shouted by dozens of people, it was deep and powerful. With a kind of majesty, it seems like a high-ranking official in ancient times went on a tour, and the surrounding government servants shouted together. And amidst the majesty, there is a kind of eerie aura.
After all, this is Huangquan Ghost Street.
The ghosts who put up lights on the street heard this and gave way one after another, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it. In an instant, a road was vacated in the middle, and the ghosts stood on both sides. They are just ghosts who are going to be reincarnated, and those who come to patrol must be powerful earth immortals, officials who manage the ghosts of Huangquan Kingdom, and superpowers.
An earth immortal has to deal with thousands of ghosts, just like crushing an ant.
"Let's stand on the side too." Shitou said to Lan Yudie Chen Mengqi, "A strong dragon doesn't overwhelm a snake. It's better to avoid these officials."
"Didn't you say that your magic power is very strong, and you are not afraid of strong earth immortals?" Lan Yudie said.
"I just don't want to cause trouble for the master." Shitou frowned and said, "The master is here for a big deal, we can't make extra trouble."
"Alright then." Chen Mengqi said. After finishing speaking, the two girls and Stone stood on the side of the street, and stood in a pile with those ordinary ghosts. Seeing the strange costumes of Chen Mengqi and Lan Yudie, as well as the big beast Shi Shi, those ghosts all cast puzzled looks at them.
But they didn't dare to ask anything. As the lowest level of ghosts, curiosity was the most taboo in the kingdom of the underworld. Once you see something you shouldn't see or say something you shouldn't say out of curiosity, the consequences will be serious.
Not long after, I saw a group of ghost messengers walking in the dim light from the street in the distance. All of them had black skulls, white breaths from their mouths, and hideous faces. Holding signs in their hands, some with the word Amakusa written on them, and some with the four characters of Mo Dao Supreme.
The way they raise their cards is like Bao Qingtian from Kaifeng Prefecture going on a tour. It gives people a sense of powerful official authority, which scares the ghosts so much that they dare not breathe out.
Halfway through the procession, a large luxurious sedan chair carried by eight ghost messengers was revealed. The big sedan chair is decorated with gold, and the ghosts are hideous, showing the noble status of the owner inside. When the sedan chair was carried to the center of Hehe Street, the ghost messenger team stopped. Then a ghost came forward and shouted: "Today is the grand festival of lanterns before the reincarnation of all living beings. Magistrate Amakusa has fun with the people as usual. Because Magistrate Amakusa has something to do, let his son Shiro Amakusa replace him."
After speaking, he walked back to the team. Patrol, move on.
But those ordinary ghosts still stood where they were after hearing this, trembling and not daring to move at all. Although it is said that Shangguan wants to have fun with the people, this is definitely not the case. For example, the ancient emperor wanted to have fun with the people during the Lantern Festival. Who would dare to approach him half a step?
Some high-ranking officials in modern times come down to observe the sentiments of the people, but who can ordinary people get in touch with them? Even if there are people who come into contact with them and tell them about their living conditions, they have been arranged in advance. And they all say good things, don't fake the fake ones. After seeing it, those people were also uneasy.
"It turns out that the person inside the sedan chair is not the judge, but the judge's young master." Lan Yudie said when he saw the ghost police team passing by.
"Didn't it mean that immortal cultivators seldom have children? Once they are born, they are all rare flowers, or super geniuses." Chen Mengqi said, "Ordinary immortals dare not give birth, only those who have status have the right to bear children. "
