Chapter 157 Return of the Soul
Chapter 157 Return of the Soul
At this moment, I saw the woman in the mirror. Although she was wearing a prison uniform, she had a slender waist, beautiful eyebrows, an oval face, a cherry mouth, and a waterfall of black hair flowing in the wind. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
I touched my face in disbelief, and the woman in the mirror did the same.
I covered my face and said, "I must be dreaming. This dream is so beautiful. Please don't let me wake up."
A hint of a smile appeared on the hard face of the plaster face, and he said, "This is you, why don't you admit it?"
I pinched my cheeks, swayed a few times, and said, "I have never seen such a beautiful woman. How could it be me? Don't I even know what I look like?"
But after saying this, I was stunned, because I really forgot what I looked like before.
At this moment, three ghost messengers wearing the same uniforms as the one with plaster face floated over from a distance.
When Plaster Face saw the three ghost messengers, his face changed and he said, "The soul-catchers are here. They will send you away. You must please them and don't send you to the wrong place."
"Pleasure them? How to please them?" I asked hurriedly.
Before Plaster Face could reply, the three ghosts had already come to my side. They were all surprised to see me. One of them shouted at me, "Why are you a living soul in the underworld?"
I really want to roll my eyes at them. Who would be willing to come to the underworld for no reason?
Is the yin energy here strong?
But Plaster Face had kindly reminded me just now that I must not argue with them and must please them, otherwise they might send me somewhere else and I would not be able to return to my own body.
So I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, bowed to them, and said respectfully: "Three ghost officials, I don't know why I came to the underworld. Please be kind and send me back."
The three ghosts looked at each other, and then one of them waved his hand, and a large booklet suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
The large booklet suddenly flipped rapidly until it reached the end. The three ghost officials' faces were filled with confusion and puzzlement. It was obvious that they had not found the information they wanted to see.
The ghost just waved his hand and the big booklet disappeared immediately.
The ghost messenger said to me: "There is no information about you on it. Do you remember who you are and where you come from?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't remember anything."
The ghost thought for a moment and slowly said, "This is difficult. Your life span has not yet ended, and your soul has left your body. For some unknown reason, it has floated into the underworld. The ghost guarding the gate did not even notice your intrusion and did not expel you. From the looks of it, you should not have been to the Naihe Bridge, nor did you drink Meng Po's soup, but why do you have no memory of your past and present lives? It is really puzzling."
The other two ghost messengers also said: "She has lost her memory. We want to send her back, but we don't know where to send her."
"That's right. If she wanders around here and is seen by the palace steward, he will definitely complain to the King of Hell, saying that we are not doing our job well. I'm afraid we will all be punished."
"Then we send her away?"
When I heard this, it seemed like the situation wasn't good. It seemed like they were just going to find a random place to send me away.
I quickly said, "Please help me check it carefully. After you send me back to my original place, I will burn a lot of gold and silver treasures for you. Not only gold and silver treasures, I will burn whatever you want."
The three ghost officials looked at each other, as if they were moved.
The man with the plaster face standing next to me was also afraid that they would send me away without authorization, so he quickly said, "I received a few jars of wine a while ago. If the three officials can send this girl back to her original owner, I am willing to give these jars of wine to the three officials."
When the three ghost officials heard the word "wine", their eyes immediately lit up and they almost drooled.
Just as they were about to agree, a piece of yellow paper suddenly floated down from the gray sky.
One of the ghost officials quickly reached out to take it. After they took a look at the contents on the yellow paper, their expressions became very strange.
The ghost shook the yellow paper in his hand and said, "Someone is here to pick you up. Hurry up and leave."
After he finished speaking, the yellow paper in his hand suddenly caught fire. He threw the yellow paper upwards, and a black rope appeared in front of me. The rope quickly wrapped around my waist and tied me up tightly. I only felt my waist tighten, and the rope pulled me up.
When the three ghost messengers saw me flying away, they shouted, "Don't forget your promise to burn lots of gold, silver and treasures for us."
My voice came from mid-air: "I know!"
Plaster Face also shouted: "Girl, my name is Li Yan, we will definitely meet again if we are destined."
My voice soon came from the air: "I remember, Li Yan."
Li Yan's eyes were filled with reluctance. He looked at me walking away and whispered, "We will definitely meet again."
When consciousness slowly came back to me, I opened my eyes.
Familiar curtains, familiar quilts, familiar desks, familiar furnishings, and familiar smells.
I know I'm back!
The house was quiet, but the yard was noisy.
"Ankang, don't ask me to practice calligraphy anymore. I've been practicing for most of the day. I'd have to take a breath even if I hang myself, right?"
"Young Master, Lord Gongsun said that you are not allowed to rest until you have completed ten calligraphy books every day. You have practiced for most of the day, but you have only completed three books, which is far from ten."
"Are you a devil? You have such a good memory? I thought that after returning to the capital, I would no longer have to suffer and would have meat for every meal. Now I have meat to eat, but my schoolwork is more than doubled. I would rather not eat meat than do homework. Please let me go!"
Then there were bursts of wailing.
I couldn't help but smile knowingly when I heard this. I didn't expect Jinping and Ankang to return to Beijing.
Now that they are both back, things will become lively.
I struggled to sit up, but I felt dizzy and dizzy.
I sat there for a long time before I recovered and put my feet into the shoes. But they were obviously too big. I looked at the shoes in surprise. They were clearly my shoes, so how could they be too big?
When I couldn’t figure it out, I just thought about it, put on my shoes, and slowly stood up.
I felt a little dizzy and my body was a little weak, so I had to hold on to the wall and slowly walk to the door.
The first one to discover me was Yingchun.
She was carrying a tray of water into the room and wiping the ornaments. Suddenly, a figure passed by her. She turned her head and saw me walking out tremblingly. She almost fainted from fright!
