Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 1: The road to the underworld
After summoning Si Yin, I finally returned to the familiar place—the past life and present life teahouse.
When I opened my eyes, it was early morning here, the warm sunshine was shining softly on my body, and the smell of cologne that I was familiar with was gently wafting from my nose, a reassuring smell.
I smiled slightly and closed my eyes again.
Si Yin, I'm back.
"How long do you plan to sleep?" Si Yin tapped my forehead lightly.
"Master, you don't know how much I have suffered this trip, so let me take a little rest." I rarely used a coquettish tone.
"You seem to have lost some weight." Si Yin said in a low voice.
"Of course," I opened my eyes and looked into his strange eyes, "Master, do you know that this ancient Indian Janika is really not a human being, and he actually wants to learn sixty-four Yi, it's so scary, and..." I suddenly felt like I had said too much, so I quickly stopped talking. If Siyin finds out that I almost became Ganica, I don’t know how I will react.
"I'll go and see Asuka first, I really hope the Infinity Bottle will turn white tomorrow." I stood up and smiled at him.
Si Yin did not speak, but a complex and difficult look flashed across his face.
After dinner, I cleared the table and swept the floor as usual, but the thing I hate the most - washing dishes, after Asuka had an accident, it always fell on Si Yin's head.
"Master, actually this time in ancient India, I encountered a very wonderful thing." I hesitated, but couldn't help but say it.
"Oh? What's the matter?" He quickly wiped a clean bowl with a dry cloth, and then washed a glass. The clear running water slipped from between his slender and neat fingers, and then splashed lightly, refracting colorful colors under the light yellow light on the top of the kitchen. He turned his head slightly towards me, and at the moment when he seemed to have not glanced at it, it was actually an indescribable amorous feelings. The ordinary scene of washing dishes, when the protagonist is replaced by Si Yin, is like a pleasing picture scroll.
In this world, perhaps the only man more beautiful than Si Yin is Sanatesi. Thinking of Sanatesi, my heart seems to have a shallow ripple again, he has also returned to this time and space, right?
"Whether it's flowers withering or stars disappearing, I, Sanatesi, can exist forever for the sake of hiding." His words echoed in my ears again, saying that it is false to say that we are not moved, but we are not from the same world. Man, I can't imagine a day without sunshine.
"Xiaoyin? What's the matter?" Si Yin obviously saw my daze.
"Oh, Master, it's like this." I shook my head lightly, wondering what was going on. "Have you heard the story of Ulworthy and Jaind?"
I don't know if I read it wrong, Si Yin's action of wiping the bowl froze for a moment.
"What's wrong?" His voice was still calm.
I told Woolworthy's story all over again, and said excitedly: "Master, do you believe that I helped her find her lover, it's amazing! And," I suddenly After a pause, "She said she met me a long time ago, Master, do you think it will be with my previous life..." Before he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the white porcelain bowl in Si Yin's hand came back to life again. It fell back into the pool, but luckily it didn't break.
"How is it possible." He said lightly.
"Actually, I also think it's impossible. She is a **** in the heavens. How could we ever meet?" I smiled disapprovingly, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took a bottle of Coke.
"Xiaoyin," Si Yin said suddenly, "If one day you have the chance to go back to your previous life, would you go back and have a look?"
I thought about it, and said with a smile: "Although I am very curious about my own past life, the past life has passed after all. No matter what, the present and the future are more important. Look at those clients. Everyone has their own misfortunes, but this life has the opportunity to start again, does this mean that everything in the past is empty, and everything in the present is new?"
"Everything in the past is empty, and everything in the past is like new..." He repeated in a low voice, turned up the faucet, and continued to wash the remaining dishes.
"Master?" I looked at his back and called out tentatively.
I don't know if the sound of the running water is too loud, but he doesn't seem to hear it.
I stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
The next day, Zhou Qi was summoned by Si Yin's dream, and appeared in the past life teahouse on time in the early morning.
"Has everything been resolved?" He asked eagerly as soon as he came here, and as soon as he stepped in here, the part of his memory about the past life and present life of the teahouse was completely revived.
Si Yin nodded slightly.
"That would be great." He beamed.
"However, don't forget," Si Yin signaled me to hand the infinite bottle in front of him, "what you need to pay is—a tear."
"That's easy, that's easy, but will it really work?" Zhou Qi seemed a little unbelievable while being delighted.
Si Yin raised his head and glanced at him, then said calmly, "Are you going on a blind date tonight?"
Zhou Qi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"The person on this blind date is an elementary school teacher."
Zhou Qi was even more surprised, and nodded again.
"Then I might as well tell you that the woman who accompanied her on the blind date is the one you're looking for." Si Yin withdrew his gaze.
"Really, really? Will it last forever this time? Will she never leave me again?" Zhou Qi's voice trembled.
"Good."
Zhou Qi wept with joy, a small tear flowed down the corner of his eye and fell impartially into the infinite bottle. I was disappointed once again in the mood of anticipation, and nothing changed in the bottle.
Looking at the background of him walking out of the teahouse, I sighed softly, "It's just a pity that he forgot everything here as soon as he went out. Master, it's useless even if you tell Zhou Qi, he still doesn't know who the companion is." The woman who comes with a blind date is the right one."
"Even if he forgets, the ending is doomed." Si Yin stared at me, with coquettish purple and clear silver flashing in his eyes at the same time, both familiar and strange.
"Master, this bottle..." I handed the infinite bottle to Si Yin, glanced at the bottle, and swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly. The transparent liquid in the immeasurable bottle was churning, as if it had been boiled, and bubbles were constantly bubbling out. I was startled, and quickly put the bottle on the table, and glanced at Si Yin, who also had a rare serious expression on his face.
After about half an hour, the water in the bottle finally calmed down slowly.
I took a closer look, and couldn't help being shocked. I looked up at Si Yin and pointed at the bottle. It took me a long time to hear my voice trembling with excitement: "Bottle, bottle, tears..."
Si Yin looked into the bottle and couldn't help being moved. Tears that were supposed to be transparent turned into milky white.
"This bottle is called an infinite bottle, and it will never be full, but when it turns white, it means that just one more tear is enough, and then everything is over."
What Si Yin said clearly resurfaced in my ears. I took a deep breath and was about to speak when I heard Si Yin's slightly trembling voice, "I will send you to the underworld."
"Master? Did you agree?" I widened my eyes, thinking that he was going to find an excuse to obstruct it again, but I didn't expect him to be so forthright this time.
Si Yin looked at me thoughtfully, "If I disagree, will you not go?"
I shook my head vigorously and said, "Of course I will, otherwise I will never be happy for the rest of my life."
"If I definitely don't let you go." Very strange, he seemed to be arguing.
"Hmph, then I won't collect the last tear." I curled my lips and smiled threateningly.
He shook his head helplessly, with an indescribable look in his eyes.
At this moment, my heart is filled with joy. When I think of being able to save Asuka, the underworld doesn't seem so scary anymore...
It’s just—the underworld is a world that only the dead and undead can enter.
Then, with what identity should I enter this dark world?
Naturally, a living person cannot step into the underworld, and I can't really die, so...
Hey, this kind of headache problem should be solved by Master Master who has great powers...
This question that bothered me was not worth mentioning to Si Yin. The next day, he took out a pill that was as black as ink.
"If you take this 'Night Spirit', you can enter the underworld in a state of suspended animation. In their eyes, you are a dead person, an undead." I took it with my hand and couldn't help smiling, "Master , you really have a lot of treasures, you can get them all, it’s amazing, there is a medicine that can go to the earth, do you know if there is a pill that goes to heaven?”
Si Yin patted my head and said, "Aren't you afraid? It's too late to regret it now."
I smiled embarrassingly, how could I not be afraid, when I thought of the eerie kingdom of the undead, a puff of cold air rose from my back, but for the sake of Asuka, I had no choice but to cheer myself up. Let's go through again.
"Also, I want to remind you that the medicine of Night Spirit is only effective for one month, so before that, you must use 'wind' to summon me, so that I can bring you out safely."
"One month, is it one month here? Is that thirty months in the underworld?"
"The time in the underworld is the same as here."
"Ah! Then what will happen if the time passes?" I exclaimed, but immediately felt relieved.
"What's the matter? Then I'm afraid you can only stay there forever." Si Yin said calmly, seeing my depressed face, raised his lips slightly, stretched out his hand to caress my hair, and said with a low voice. Said, "Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you, even—they don't remember you anymore..."
"They? Don't remember what? Master, what did you say?" I was baffled.
Si Yin seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and shook his head, "I mean, don't forget the days, and, the most important thing—" His expression froze, "Not all Manzhu Even a sawa can save birds, what you need to find is an orange manju sawa.”
"Orange manjusawa? How can I find so many flowers?"
"It is said that this orange manjusawa is in the palace of Hades."
"What?" My heart sank. At first, I thought I would get out of the way after picking the flowers, but now it seems that it is not so easy. Eight prisons, three valleys, four circles, ten trenches... My head started to hurt again...
"In addition, there is another point I want to remind you. The entire underworld is surrounded by the powerful enchantment of Hades, so any spells are invalid. Except..."
"Except for what?" My heart kept sinking, and I couldn't use spells. How should I deal with those sudden accidents? Looks like the future is really -- what a disaster.
"In addition to this string of crystal bracelets, wearing it, whether it is a swamp hell, a flame hell, or a freezing hell, you can pass through safely. Also, take this," Si Yin took out a small Silver coins, "It's the boat fare."
Flight? By the way, there is a special ferryman by the Santu River in the underworld. Only he can send the undead to the other side. The dead who want to cross the river must pay for the ferry, otherwise the ferryman will ruthlessly throw the undead into the river. The specific gravity of the water in the river is much lighter than the water in the yang world, and it is almost impossible for the human body to cross it except by boats from the underworld.
"Master," I said with as much ease as possible, "when I come back, after we collect the last tear, we will have a long vacation. Master, Asuka and I, the three of us just go around the world."
Si Yin seemed to be taken aback for a moment, with a very shallow arc on his lips, "When you finish collecting your tears, you should have your own life."
"I don't want to, I want to be with Master and Asuka. You are all my most important people." I tugged on his sleeve, although Si Yin is usually cold and indifferent, but he really He is very good to me. Over the years, the family-like emotion has flowed between us like flowing water. He and Asuka are both indispensable people in my life.
"Master..." He stared at me, a look of repressed pain flashed in his eyes, "I will leave you one day."
I don't know why, when I heard this sentence, my heart suddenly throbbed slightly.
"I don't want, I don't want Master to leave me..." I murmured.
He looked at me, suddenly laughed, and hugged me gently unexpectedly, his long black hair fell gently on my neck.
"One day, you will completely forget me too."
"I won't, I won't forget Master... I won't." My heart ached again. On his chest, quietly closed his eyes. Master's chest is warm, giving people a very reassuring feeling...
It's just——before leaving, shouldn't I say goodbye to Sanate?
The ambiguous night suddenly appeared in my mind, and my face couldn't help but heat up.
If he is not a blood race person, if he can appear in the sun, if he is just an ordinary human... Maybe I...
Forget it, let's not say goodbye, this time, he probably won't have the ability to chase him to the underworld.
After taking Night Spirit, I fell unconscious immediately, and I have no idea what happened next.
I don't know how long it took, and I opened my eyes in a daze. Such a dazzling light, I immediately closed my eyes again, but secretly wondered, how could it be so bright? Is this really the underworld? Master will not send it to the wrong place, right?
Opening my eyes again, I realized that the bright object turned out to be a huge gate made of brass. The gate shone like gold in the dark, illuminating the surrounding night It's like daytime.
I stood up, walked in that direction, and stood still in front of the copper door.
There are words engraved on the copper door, the handwriting is beautiful, as if dancing, firmly attracting my attention. Why, I think these handwriting are very familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere...
Through me, into the city of pain,
Through me, into the pit of eternal misery,
Through me, enter the crowd of people who will never be restored,
Abandon all hope, you who enter through this.
I rubbed the handwriting on the door and trembled slightly. Is this the door to the underworld?
Just as I was about to open the door, there were strange footsteps behind me. From the sound, it seemed that there were quite a few people, so I quickly hid aside.
From a distance, it seems to be a long procession. As they get closer and closer to the gate, I can see everything in front of me. Many people are walking forward blankly, as if they have nothing to do. Consciousness moves in the same way. Their bodies seemed to be wrapped in mist, and I couldn't see their faces clearly at all.
This should be a team of undead.
As soon as I had an idea, I might as well just sneak into this team, so that it won't be easy to arouse suspicion.
The door opened automatically with a creak, and I looked up, and it seemed that it was also dark inside, so I couldn't see clearly.
When the team was about to finish, I quickly followed behind the last undead and entered the gate smoothly.
The legendary underworld finally appeared before my eyes...
