The handsome man in the entertainment industry

Legend has it that ghosts will shed blood and tears from their eyes.

Although the young woman in white had never cried blood, Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng still felt faintly unbearable seeing her cry so sadly.

"So, all my painstaking efforts these years have been wasted? ... And the grievances of the baby, can it be considered... for nothing?"

The woman looked at Xiao Xiao in a daze, the tears in her eyes were still dripping down uncontrollably.

She used to be just an ordinary village woman. She died of a sudden illness in September of her pregnancy a hundred years ago. She happened to be buried in the corpse field by her family. path of.

Because of the lack of guidance from a teacher and the lack of suitable exercises, it all depends on her self-exploration bit by bit, not only the accumulation of Taoism is slow, but also her concept of life still stays when she is still a human being. Reincarnation and other cognitions are only limited to the superficial aspects of what the old people in the village talked about when they were alive.

Xiao Xiao let out a long sigh.

He really couldn't think of a good way to do it.

If the clay puppet that the ghost cultivator's child was living with was broken just now, then Xiao Xiao can still find a way to help it summon its soul, and if it succeeds, it can return it whole to the mother.

But that happened on the [-]th of July. It has been two and a half months now, and the daylilies are already cold. Even if he tries it, it will only make this poor white woman hopeful in the end. The deeper the disappointment.

He thought for a while in silence, until the candle had burned down to the length of his thumb knuckle, and he couldn't wait any longer, then he finally thought of a compromise.

"Let this child recognize you as a godmother, and from now on, let your tablet be enshrined in your own ancestral hall for generations to come."

Xiao Xiao said to the Ghost Cultivator who was still sobbing despite his patience:

"In this way, you will have the earthly incense to worship, and your practice will be much easier in the future..."

"...But, then what? I'm still alone, just continuing to exist in this world lonely and desolate."

The woman shook her head and interrupted Xiao Xiao's words, "I don't want to make any progress in cultivation, and I have never expected to be able to ascend to the immortal path...Since the two immortal elders met today, I will let this child go naturally. ..."

As she spoke, she gently touched the head of the little boy beside her with her tear-stained palm, as if imagining him as her child who no longer existed.

"It's just that I have one thing that I want to ask you two to fulfill..."

Xiao Xiao nodded straightforwardly, "Tell me, if we can do it, we will try our best."

The young woman in white knelt down in front of the two of them, her body bowed deeply, and she gave a big gift with all her body thrown to the ground.

"I just ask the two immortal elders to accept me, save me, and allow me to enter reincarnation again... This path of cultivation is too bitter and lonely. I can't go on alone. Instead of suffering alone for a long time , might as well be reincarnated and be a mortal again..."

&&&&&&&&&

When Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng led the missing child and appeared in front of the villagers, it was already dawn the next day.

Originally, the child could not be found all night, and even Ruan Mudeng, who had just returned to the village, and the friends he brought were lost together. The village chief was already anxious like ants on a hot pot, and he was going crazy. Shouting and searching in the mountains, I tossed and tossed until dawn.

Just when the villagers felt very desperate and had already discussed calling the police for help and asking a professional search and rescue team to help find someone, Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng seemed like nothing had happened, they got in from nowhere When he came out, he was holding a sleeping child in his arms—it was Ruan Chaoyang who had been missing for more than half a day!

When Ruan Chaoyang's parents saw the child in Ruan Mudeng's arms, they burst into tears on the spot, staggered and rushed over, snatched the child from the young man's arms, hugged him tightly, shouted and laughed, it looked like a rare treasure that had been lost and found again, it was really The bystanders were both sad and relieved.

Ruan Mudeng took advantage of the attention of others on the child, stretched out the little finger of his right hand, and gently hooked the little finger of Xiao Xiao's left hand, and the two secretly held hands.

Although because of the high fever, his memory of losing his soul when he was a child is already very vague.But Ruan Mudeng still remembers the broad and comfortable feeling of his back when he was a child lying on his father's back.Back then, his father, like Xiao Chaoyang's parents, had put in the utmost love and effort when his child was in an accident.

At this time, Ruan Chaoyang, who was sleeping thinking about it, was woken up by his parents. He opened his eyes in a daze, saw the familiar faces of his relatives, and immediately burst into tears.

While crying, he talked nonsense intermittently. He said that he killed a little brother, that he saw an aunt crying very sad, and that he walked into a very dark and narrow road. never go home again...

The little boy’s narration was too messy and illogical. The adults couldn’t understand it, and no matter how hard they coaxed him, they couldn’t stop him from crying. They had to look at each other and said that the boy was probably scared and had to go back to the village. Li asked Mi Po to call him a soul and suppress his shock.

As a result, the villagers couldn't think of asking Ruan Mudeng and Xiao Xiao where they had been during the few hours they were missing, and where they found the child. They all surrounded the family of three in the center of the crowd, More than a dozen people hurried to the road back to the village.

Chapter 134: Extra Story 05: Homecoming [-]

Ruan Mudeng and Xiao Xiao were naturally so happy that no one noticed them.

The two stayed at the end of the bustling team, returned to the village without making a sound, then quietly left the team and rushed home.

According to the plan, Ruan Mudeng is going to dig the grave of his elder brother Ruan Diyi today.

There was only one day left until the Cold Clothes Festival, and the auspicious day he had hoped for could not be changed, and even though it was only his elder brother's ashes that would be buried in the urn, before that, there were absolutely no less procedures and ceremonies that should be followed.

"It's fine for me to go alone, and you can sleep well here."

Ruan Mudeng pinned Xiao Xiao at home, and asked him to make up for the exhaustion from working hard last night.

But Xiao Xiao refused to agree, and insisted on going with him, and even found a very sufficient reason, she wanted to see the location of the shovel for him, and find the most suitable geomantic omen for the elder brother of the Ruan family.

In fact, Ruan Mudeng knew that this was just the reason Xiao Xiao wanted to go out with him.

According to the customs here in Ruanjia Village, the cemeteries of a family, and even a family, are all connected together.His elder brother's tomb is naturally placed below his father's tomb according to his seniority. The location has been fixed long ago, and there is no need for a surveyor to do acupuncture.

However, Ruan Mudeng didn't expose his master's good excuse, but just held Xiao Xiao's face and kissed him tenderly on his lips, taking this kiss as a thank you that he didn't need to say.

Ruan Mudeng only told the elders in the village that his eldest brother died of a sudden illness in another place, and that his ashes were to be moved to the ancestral grave. The tomb seal and tombstone are ready for tomorrow's burial.

The two arrived at the ancestral graves in Ruanjia Village early in the morning. Ruan Mudeng was busy with the shovel until the sun was high, and then the preparations were completed. When he turned to look at Xiao Xiao, he found that he could no longer bear the sleepiness, and there was a cat not far away. Under the deciduous banyan tree that had lost most of its leaves, I buried my head in my knees and fell asleep.

When Ruan Mudeng went to call for someone, Xiao Xiao was still sleeping in a daze.

Back pain from wandering around in the first half of the night, plus fatigue from walking in the underworld for the second half of the night, this short and uncomfortable nap can’t relieve the fatigue at all, but it’s more desirable than trying to endure the sleepiness To continue to sleep.

Feeling Ruan Mudeng's pat on his cheek, Xiao Xiao struggled for a long time before opening her eyes, the focus was finally focused for a while, and after seeing who the person who woke him up was, she immediately fell headlong Falling on Ruan Mudeng's shoulder, he quickly fell into a dazed and shallow sleep, and it seemed that it would be difficult to wake up completely for a while.

So Ruan Mudeng simply picked him up and carried him all the way home.

After helping Xiao Xiao wash up and stuffing him with some food to fill his stomach, the two of them fell down on the kang, hugged each other and slept for a dark day.

The next day was the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and the eastern sky was faintly pale. Ruan Mudeng sent Ruan Diyi's ashes to the burial early, and under the protection of the village elders and Mr. Yin Yang, the tomb was sealed and a monument was erected. Burning candles and burning incense, and then personally tracing the inscriptions on the stele with red paint, he finally fulfilled his wish to send his elder brother's soul back to his hometown.

Ruan Mudeng guarded the grave of his elder brother Xinli for a day.

He knelt in front of the tombstones of his father and elder brother, and silently burned packages of "baggage" with the names and hometowns of the deceased relatives written on them in the brazier.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, squatting beside her apprentice, holding a poker in her hand, silently turning the paper ashes in the brazier for Ruan Mudeng, so that they could burn more thoroughly.

The two stayed here until the evening.

After the sun went down, clusters of flames gradually rose around them. It was other families in the village who also came to the cemetery of Ruanjia Village to offer sacrifices to their relatives or ancestors on the October day.

The night is getting darker, the autumn wind is getting stronger, and the temperature in the field is getting lower and lower.

Clusters of flames burned the Mingbi Mingyi wrapped by the villagers to their ancestors to ashes. The flames flickered, and the thick smoke rose into the air with paper ashes, and was blown away by the autumn wind.
