Kikai

She died, exactly how she died... She herself can't remember clearly.

After being dead for so long, she no longer remembers who she is, where her family is, and who else is in her family... The only knowledge she has is the fact that she is dead and her name, Yu Qi.

I don't know where to go, she can only float around boringly every day, not too high or too fast, but slowly and leisurely, over the mountains, rivers and seas, through the four seasons of spring and autumn, I don't remember being so lonely How long, until those two people appeared in front of her.

Two thin and tall boys, one with white hair and white hair, the other with black hair and black hair, well, his face is also very dark.They don't look like they're 15 years old, do they?

"The name is Yuqi, right?" the man in white asked her with a smile.

Nodding, she remembered this, the word Yuqi was her name.

"Have you been drifting in the human world for almost ten years? Your resentment has finally dissipated..." the man in white was scribbling on a small notebook while talking.

Soon, the man in the white clothes drew the outline, raised his head and introduced himself to Yuqi with a smile: "I am Bai Wuchang, and this is my younger brother Hei Wuchang. Now that your grievances are gone, follow us to the underworld to report Bar."

Before Yu Qi could react, the two of them pulled her down one by one, the scene in front of them blurred instantly, and when the scene in sight became clear again, the surroundings had changed.

The moon and stars cannot be seen in the dark sky, and there are many green flames floating around to illuminate the surroundings. Although the illuminated area is still empty, you can vaguely see a long queue ahead of you. Men and women are different, but they all stand left and right like Yuqi, black and white impermanence.

Black and white impermanence?The word flashed through her mind.

"You... people... black and white are not... permanent?" Yu Qi stammered.After finishing speaking, Wei Wei touched her throat strangely, in her intermittent and vague memory, it seemed that she hadn't made a sound for a long, long time.

Bai Wuchang nodded flatly: "That's what you call us in the human world. It seems that your spiritual consciousness is slowly gathering three souls and seven souls."

"Spirit... Consciousness?"

Looking at the long queue in front of him, knowing that he would have to wait for a long time, Bai Wuchang explained to Yu Qi in a bored manner: "Everything in the world will decay after death, but the spiritual consciousness is immortal. Human beings call the spiritual consciousness What's going on?" He looked at Heiwuchang.

"Soul, soul, there are many names." Hei Wuchang answered briefly.

Bai Wuchang nodded: "Oh, yes! This is it."

Instead, he continued to talk to Yu Qi: "Spiritual consciousness will collapse after death, and then slowly reunite after being nourished by heaven and earth. After the last obsession or resentment dissipated during life, spiritual consciousness can be completely reunited, and spiritual consciousness will be reunited. After gathering, the three souls and seven souls will gradually return to their positions, and some of your emotions, habits, memories, etc. will slowly come back..."

"Some will be lost too." Hei Wuchang interrupted him.

Bai Wuchang glared at him unhappily: "I know! I took that class seriously."

Yu Qi slowly sorted out some things that were gradually emerging in her mind. This should be the return of the three souls and seven souls that Bai Wuchang said. Well, she liked to eat oranges before she was alive. She is twenty?That should be much bigger than these two black and white impermanence...

"Little girl, since you are the first task of our internship, let me say a few more words to you." Bai Wuchang interrupted her wild thoughts.

Yu Qi nodded: "Okay, tell me."

"Now at our feet is Huangquan Road. Walking through Huangquan Road and crossing the Wangchuan River is not a qualification that ordinary ghosts can obtain. Most ghosts can only float between heaven and earth with a wisp of spiritual consciousness until they collapse, and they can enter the underworld smoothly. It won’t be so easy in the future, you’d better leave as soon as possible after you successfully get the quota of reincarnation in the underworld, all the past lives are past lives.”

Huangquan Road?Wangchuan River?The memory in Yuqi's brain is not very clear, but she feels that she seems to know these places, very familiar feeling, and some cognitions related to the underworld emerged in her mind, and said hesitantly: "My grandma seems to have told me , Bad people will go to hell, did I do a lot of bad things during my lifetime? Am I... a bad person?"

Heiwuchang frowned: "It's here again, why do you people always think that the hell is a place where you only come when you do something bad?"

For a while, Yu Qi didn't know what to say, and she didn't know why, but in her memory, it seemed that everyone thought that only people who had done too many bad things would go to the hell, and it was the No.18 hell.

Bai Wuchang's reaction was not as big as Hei Wuchang's, and he comforted him with a good temper: "Don't worry, the first task assigned to an intern is usually not difficult. At most, you have done some small evils. All living creatures and ghosts will come to the underworld, and only the gods and souls will return to the God Realm when they are reincarnated."

Spirit world?Another familiar and unfamiliar word.

"Our Ghost Realm is all-encompassing, but not as exclusive and selfish as the God Realm." Hei Wuchang frowned and said

Yu Qi has no position to express an opinion on this question for the time being, but just nodded politely.

"Here we are." Bai Wuchang said suddenly.

She remembered that there were a lot of people queuing up, why did they arrive?

Looking forward, the white river is flowing quietly, without knowing the beginning, flowing from far away to far away, clearly dividing the river on both sides into two worlds, one side is endless darkness, and the other side is full of blooming The red flowers dotted into a sea of ​​flames, as if it would burn the world over there at any time.

"Don't look!" Hei Wuchang suddenly pushed her head down.

"The Bianhua on the opposite side is the soul of an idiot who can't pass the love test. If you look at it for a long time, you, a little ghost who hasn't fully returned to its place, will be easily aroused by them." Bai Wuchang hurriedly explained .

"I'm sorry." Yu Qi bowed her head obediently.

Bai Wuchang was worried, and explained again: "When you get on a boat and cross the Wangchuan River, you can't look at the river water. There are ghosts in the water who have regained their obsession after reaching the underworld. This kind of ghost will be forgotten forever. The river is trapped, if you look at it for a long time, you will be attracted to the river to accompany them, once you fall into the river, ghost messengers of our level will not be able to catch you."

Looking down at the ground, Yu Qi silently pondered in her heart: You can't see the river bank, you can't see the river water, and the sky is pitch black, so where should she look for a while?

Before Yu Qi could understand, Huangquan Road had come to an end.

A middle-aged man in a coir raincoat and a hat on his head said to a ghost in front of Yuqi, "What do you want to pay for the boat?"

Yu Qi couldn't help but looked up curiously.

It was a barefooted little girl, wearing a blue skirt and powder coat, she couldn't see her front face, only her skin was very white, and her hair was also white. At this moment, she was replying to the middle-aged man's words timidly: "Uncle, I have no money."

"Don't want to give anything? Then what kind of boat do you take, go back to the human world and be your lonely ghost. It's really bad to just take the boat without paying the boat fare. This old man won't ferry such a bad thing like you, fuck off! "The middle-aged man seemed to have a bad temper and scolded the little girl.

Bai Wuchang pulled Yuqi and whispered, "This is the ferryman. If you can't pay the boat fare he wants, then he won't ferry you across the river."

Yu Qi suddenly became nervous, and asked in a low voice: "I don't have any money with me, what should I do? If he doesn't ferry me over, do I really want to go back to the human world?"

"How is it possible? If their ferryman really dared not to ferry people, he would have been dealt with by the Ghost King of the Ten Temples. He just wanted to bribe him. After a while, you can ask him what he wants, and you can give it as much as you can." Hei Wuchang frowned and said, He especially disliked the fact that the ferryman liked to take bribes, but this was the usual practice, and he couldn't do anything about it.

When Yu Qi was still uneasy, the ferryman in front had already set off with the little girl cursing, and got the boat money from her, a pair of beautiful white eyeballs.

She felt a chill down her back when she saw it, and touched her eyes with some reluctance. Is this the so-called "ship money"?

"What do you use to pay for the boat?" Yu Qi was greeted by a very old ferryman, whose gray beard was so long that it almost dragged to the ground.

Yu Qi said respectfully: "I don't know what the old man wants?"

The ferryman tried his best to open his narrowed eyes, looked her up and down, and said after a long time, "You can't afford what the old man wants, so let's take you across the river today, and wait for the baby girl to be available someday." Sweetheart, just send this old man a drop of that person's tears."

Want a tear?Yu Qi was a little surprised, it seemed very simple, so he nodded without thinking much.

But can ghosts still fall in love?And isn't the ferryman afraid that if he leaves, he won't come back?

Getting on the ferryman's wooden boat while thinking wildly, Yu Qi kept in mind the admonition of impermanence in black and white, stared at his toes carefully and did not dare to look around.

The boat was running very smoothly, if it wasn't for the sound of running water caused by the oars, she almost thought she was still in place.

"Hey, look up!" Bai Wuchang patted Yuqi excitedly: "Have you heard of Naihe Bridge? Look, this is a famous scenic spot in the underworld. It's okay if you take a quick look."

Hearing this, Yu Qi quickly raised his head, intending to take a quick look.

At this time, their boat was moving toward a suspended staircase that seemed to be made of white jade, which circled from the opposite bank of the Wangchuan River and extended to the sky. The entire bridge body was emitting a faint white light.

There seemed to be a person standing on the bridge, and Yu Qi, who was planning to take a look, fixed her eyes on the person on the bridge as the boat gradually approached the Naihe Bridge.

Wearing a gorgeous pink and white palace dress inlaid with gold and silver embroidery, her long ink-like hair fluttered in the wind, and there were a few fiery red petals in the hair, which seemed to be the petals of the other shore flower brought by the wind.

Such a beautiful girl, she looks less than ten years old, is she the little princess of the underworld?

Yu Qi was a little stunned. The little girl's small face had delicate and indifferent features, a slightly fat chin, light pink lips without a trace of curvature, a small and straight nose... and then there was a pair of dark eyes. Big eyes are also looking back at Yuqi at this moment.

etc!Why did their eyes meet? !

Yu Qi, who peeked at the discovery, immediately blushed and lowered his head.

The boat quickly passed under the Naihe Bridge, Yu Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look back at the Naihe Bridge that had passed.

The beautiful little princess was gone, only a kind-hearted old woman was distributing things to the passing ghosts. Yu Qi, who was a little disappointed, met the smiling face of the ferryman.

"That...Grandpa, do you know who that little girl was just now?" After Yu Qi finished speaking to the ferryman, he realized that he shouldn't have talked too much with this person. , the ferryman doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.

Black and White Impermanence was also a little surprised, how dare this little ghost talk to the ferryman?

The old man on the ferry touched her beard, and really answered her: "If the old man is not mistaken, it should be the Devil May Cry Raksha from the Yan Luo Palace, the little girl with the bone whip and double tongue."

"What? Have you met Lord Shuanglang?" Heiwuchang frowned again.

Bai Wuchang hurriedly urged the ferryman to row faster.

Looking at the reactions of the two of them, the little girl named Shuanglang seems not to be trifled with...

On the Naihe Bridge, Shuanglang took off the clothes she tried on just now and resumed the black clothes she usually wore, and walked out from a huge boulder on the bridge: "Grandma, return the clothes to you."

The old woman with white hair and hairpins took over the gorgeous pink palace dress, and said a little unhappy: "I think it suits you, little Shuanglang, you should wear this at your age..."

Shuanglang patiently listened to her ramblings. This old woman was the big ghost Meng Po who guarded the Naihe Bridge, and she was also Shuanglang's nominal family member.

"...Forget it, if you don't like it, forget it, go back to the King of Hades and report back." Po Meng waved her hand, and put the pink and white palace dress into the boulder behind her.

"Well, mother-in-law, let's go." Shuanglang bowed to Granny Meng, pulled his little hand, and the bone whip, braving the cold air, pulled the seven or eight tightly bound ghosts squatting by the Naihe Bridge to him. The previous one staggered.

Clothed in black with black hair and holding a white bone whip, this ten-year-old Shuanglang girl is one of the most ruthless Rakshasas in the underworld. She is titled Devil May Cry, and she is an expert at fighting and catching ghosts.

At the same time, in the Palace of Reincarnation where the underworld is in charge of the reincarnation of life and death, a ghost messenger was serious about the recently assigned task. Suddenly his hand trembled, and he hurriedly closed the task book: "Damn! Why do you treat the ghost as an ordinary ghost? The underworld? It's over, it's over, if His Highness knows, I..."

Thinking of the miserable end he might have, the ghost guard was silent for a long time, and finally opened the booklet again and picked up a pen to erase the bright red word "Li Gui" after the name on the booklet without a sound.
