Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 7: Pluto’s Banquet
The guest of Pluto's banquet this time is an envoy from the heaven. According to Antioch, since ancient times, the underworld and the heaven have been in close contact.
On the day of the banquet, a lot of candles were rarely placed in the underworld, and the palace of Hades was even more brightly lit. Under the warm lights, the gloomy underworld seems to have a little more warmth.
I followed An Ti into the palace and stood behind him.
Today, Elias' palace is really different from the usual ones. The scroll patterned crimson candles, the brocade tablecloth mixed with gold threads, and the white porcelain plates with gold lacquer thin edges, everything is in order but magnificent.
Pluto is a stingy...he hides all the good things, and he has to wait until there are guests before taking them out.
Sitting on the main seat is the Pluto Elis dressed in black. The first person on his left is Xiu, the **** of death, and the second is Xiber, the **** of sleep. Naturally, An Ti sits in the third place. In terms of position, I also took advantage of the situation and stood behind him. Xiu and Xibo were slightly taken aback when they saw me, but Elis just glanced at me and didn't say anything.
"Master Kassan, welcome to the Underworld." Elis raised his wine glass, his light gray eyes were more hazy than usual, his indistinct eyes made people intoxicated, his elegant demeanor, noble and unrestrained Pretentiously, when his slender fingers held the wine glass and clinked glasses with someone, maybe the person would be drunk before the wine entered his mouth.
"Master Elis, thank you for your hospitality." The man also raised his glass. Hearing the man's voice, he didn't seem to be very old, so I raised my head and glanced secretly.
I saw that the man was about the same age as Elias, probably only about thirty or so on the surface, with long eyes, thin lips, a straight nose, and long red hair hanging down obediently on the back of his head. , is also quite a handsome man, but under the attack of the four beauties in the underworld, he can only be a foil.
Maybe I stared at it for too long, the man seemed to feel my gaze, and raised his head. In the moment of staring at each other, his face changed, and the wine in his hand spilled out. a few drops.
Everyone was surprised, and Elise looked at me thoughtfully.
"I'm really rude, my hand slipped." The Lord Kassan said quickly, and the expression on his face quickly returned to normal.
"It's okay, Lord Kassan, please enjoy yourself." Elis raised his wine glass to him.
Next, it was natural for the host and guest to have a good time. I didn't hear what they said clearly, and I couldn't understand many of them, but I noticed that Lord Kassan looked at me several times intentionally or unintentionally.
He lost his composure just now when he saw me. Could it be that he has seen me? Impossible, he is an envoy from the heavens, how could it be none of my business, he must have mistaken the person.
"Yin, pour wine for Lord Kassan." Elis' cold voice pulled me back from my wandering mind.
I froze for a moment, glanced at An Ti, and An Ti smiled and nodded at me. I picked up the crystal wine jug, went around to Kassan's side, bent down, and filled his wine glass. drink. Just as I was bending over, I suddenly heard a very soft voice: "Don't you remember me?" I glanced at him in astonishment, seeing my blank face, he seemed relieved.
How do I know him? It's probably because I drank too much.
"The last time we drank like this was tens of thousands of years ago." Kassan's mood became obviously relaxed. I made a slip of the tongue and quickly swallowed back the second half of the sentence. Just when the words "Hinghou" came out of his mouth, Elias' face changed. He didn't say anything, just raised his neck and took a big sip of wine, An Ti and Xibo looked at each other with a hint of worry.
Although everything still seemed to be harmonious and harmonious, the atmosphere in the banquet was still slightly awkward.
I took advantage of this time to look around carefully. I visited the outer hall last time, and found nothing. As for the inner hall, there was no chance to enter it at all. However, will there be any discoveries in the inner temple?
"Master Kassan, I'll excuse you first." Elis said suddenly, and then turned to the left, "Xiu, Xibo, An Ti, I will leave it to you, Lord Kassan, treat your lord well for me." .”
He just stood up, maybe because he drank a lot of wine, his body suddenly shook slightly. Almost without thinking, I rushed forward to support him as fast as I could. He was obviously a little surprised, and An Ti immediately called the name of a maid next to him: "Linda, hurry up and help Lord Pluto enter the inner hall to rest."
"No need." I raised my head and looked into those light gray eyes, "Let me help you to rest in the inner hall." I can't miss this opportunity, I have to give it a try anyway.
His indifferent eyes seemed to be far away in the sky, and after only a few seconds, he saw his thin lips slightly opened, and a cold voice came out, "Go in."
Before I went in, I glanced at An Ti, his face was full of surprise and doubt, and even a hint of displeasure.
Through a long corridor, it is the inner hall of Hades. The furnishings in the inner hall are extremely simple. Under the high raised ceiling, there is only a crystal bed with a black velvet curtain. The whole hall looks empty and feels even more eerie. My heart was half vented suddenly, where is there any manjushahua? But didn't Si Yin say that the life-saving flower was in Pluto's palace?
"How long do you plan to let me stand?" When his cold and majestic voice suddenly reached my ears, I realized that I have been supporting him to stand in the middle foolishly since I came in. I don't know how long I stood there.
"Oh, oh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I quickly helped him onto the big bed.
"Master Pluto, you can rest, I won't bother you anymore." Anyway, there is nothing I want here, so let's hurry up. Pluto, this man is Pluto.
Just as I was about to leave with oil on my feet, I was almost at the door when I suddenly heard his voice from behind: "Have I allowed you to go out?"
My body froze, I turned around slowly, and laughed a few times, "Then, please allow me to go out now."
"I wanted to come in so much just now, but now I want to go out so much?" Although there was a trace of drunkenness in his gray eyes, they were still unfathomable.
"Just now I saw that your lord was unwell, and I was in a hurry. Now that you have nothing to do, of course I have to leave, so as not to affect your rest." I continued to laugh dryly.
"Go out." He looked at me for a while and said lightly.
"Thank you, my lord." I just nodded, and then I heard him say something again, and my heart felt cold.
Going out of the inner hall, I closed the bronze door for him. Just as the door was about to close, my heart moved, leaving a long and narrow gap. "Kayina will find out everything about you soon." What Elise said just now is still echoing in my ears, I don't have much time...
I walked in the direction of the outer hall, the heavy footsteps were extremely loud in the corridor, and when I was about to reach the end of the corridor, I stopped, took off my shoes, and walked back gently. After finally entering the inner hall, I really don't want to go out like this.
When I walked back to the entrance of the inner hall, I listened outside for a while, but there was no movement. I moved my body cautiously. In order not to be discovered easily, I simply knelt down, bent over, and looked in through the gap in the door.
Eiles sat quietly on the edge of the bed, his long purple hair fell down like running water, covering his cheeks, making it impossible to see his expression.
I don't know how long I sat there, but when my feet started to feel numb, he suddenly moved. I perked up and moved a little closer.
I saw that he reached out and took off the purple earring on his left ear, put it in the palm of his hand, and blew lightly, a strange thing happened, something came out of the earring, like a seed, in his My hands germinated, branched, and blossomed. I widened my eyes and looked at the scene in front of me in disbelief. I almost cried out. What bloomed in his hand was an orange manjusawa.
"Laya..." he called out in a low voice.
Listening to this name, it seems to be a woman's name.
At some point, a gust of cool wind blew up the black bed curtain and his long purple hair...
At this moment, his expression is so lonely, and the eyes staring at the flowers are complicated and difficult to distinguish. He can't tell whether it is like, nostalgia, nostalgia or-hate.
I'm not in the mood to care about what Laya is, and I'm not in the mood to care about his expression. I just know that I finally found what I was looking for.
It's just that this task seems to be the most difficult of all previous tasks. The earrings of Hades turned out to be Manjusawa. To get the earrings of Hades... My heart sank, this is really not an easy task. It should be said that it is difficult, very difficult.
While I was concentrating on watching, I suddenly felt my body lighten up, and I was about to let out a low cry when my mouth was covered by a warm hand, and I fell into a similar warm embrace.
As soon as I was about to struggle, I heard An Ti's low voice coming into my ears, "Don't move, close your eyes." I hesitated for a moment, but did as he said.
He carried me through the long corridor to the outer hall.
"This girl fainted in the corridor for some reason, she must have fainted from hunger, ha ha." His voice was still relaxed, "Brother, I will send her back to my palace first, Lord Kassan, please take it easy .”
When I arrived at Antioch's palace, I just opened my eyes and wanted to speak, when I saw a rare look of anger flashing across his face, and he put his hands dryly, only to hear a bang, and I was thrown firmly to the ground.
"Hey, you are a god, how can you be so rude." I angrily rubbed my buttocks that may have been broken into four pieces, stood up, took a glass of water from my side, and took a big gulp. Suppressed.
"You really don't want your life, you dare to spy on Mr. Pluto." He swept away his innocent and cute look in the past, and his cold eyes made me feel a little scared.
"I didn't." I argued.
"No? Fortunately, I found out this time. If someone else finds out, the consequences will not be a joke."
"I..."
"It's not right since you volunteered to help him go to the inner hall." He paused, bent down, stared into my eyes, with a serious expression on his face, "Don't tell me you're treating Mr. Pluto..." He seemed to be struggling After a while, I still said, "Do you—like adults?"
"Pfft——" I sprayed all the water in my mouth on his face.
Obviously he didn't expect my reaction at all, and I stood there in a daze, we both stared blankly at each other, after about tens of seconds, seeing his face covered in water, I finally laughed out loud first.
He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and returned to his innocent smile like a child.
"Then why did you just..." Laughing for a while, he raised his sleeve and wiped his face as he asked.
"I..." I hesitated, how should I answer him? My time is running out, and it is really hard to get the earrings of Hades in just a dozen days, but——if someone is willing to help me, and this person can easily enter and leave the palace of Hades, maybe it will be Much easier.
Thinking of this, I took a look at An Ti. Although he had deceived me before, he helped me hide my identity. He just wanted to help me. Maybe—he is the most suitable.
"Anti, you are the person I trust the most here," I put a top hat on him first, and sure enough, his smile became brighter. "Actually, I'm not here to find someone, but to find something."
"Something?" His smile faltered slightly.
"Well, only that kind of thing can save a person who is very important to me."
"Very important person?" He raised his eyebrows, "Lover?"
"No..." I thought for a while, "It's my brother."
He laughed again, "So that's the case, so did you find that thing?"
I nodded and shook my head again.
"What does this mean?"
"I found it, but it's impossible to get it."
"Why?"
"Because of that thing - on Pluto's body."
His smile gradually disappeared, "What the **** is that?"
"Remember when I asked you if you have any orange manjusawa? What I'm looking for is that flower, which is on Pluto's body, and Pluto put this flower in his earring."
"Impossible," he was slightly startled, "Manjusawa is the flower adults hate the most, how could it be possible to keep it on your body."
"I saw it with my own eyes just now. I also heard Pluto looking at the flower and calling a name called Laya." As soon as I finished speaking, An Ti's face changed drastically, "What, Laya? What? Possibly.”
I was also taken aback, "What the **** is going on?"
"Laya is the name of the Empress of the Underworld. Manzhushahua is the Empress' favorite flower." He paused, as if recalling something very far away, "A long time ago, Lord Hades and the Empress of the Underworld Afterwards, they were an enviable loving couple, but then I don’t know what happened, there was a big quarrel between Minghou and Pluto, and after that, Minghou went to the world to relax in a rage. At that time, Ming Later, I met a man in the world and fell in love with him, Lord Hades was furious when he found out, and immediately sent someone to capture Queen Hades and that man.”
"What happened next?" I asked, it was hard to imagine Elise getting angry.
"It's very strange. I haven't seen them again. Since they are not in the underworld, they may have been reincarnated."
"Then what happened between Hades and Hades?"
Anti thought for a while, then suddenly pressed his temple lightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I can't remember at all, it feels... as if I have completely lost this entire memory. But," he looked at me, "I always feel that there should be something important, such as you, I somehow feel that you have a sense of intimacy."
I smiled, "Actually, I also feel that there is a strange sense of familiarity here, maybe I pass by here every time I die in reincarnation." I rolled my eyes, "An Mention, we can be regarded as friends, next time when I come to reincarnate, can I go through the back door? Let me join a wealthy family, whether it is a famous family or a rich family, nouveau riche is fine, in short, you must have a golden key Born."
He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again, "No, because I have selfish motives."
"Selfishness?"
"I will keep you here and stay with me all the time."
"Really, I'll become an old woman by then." I couldn't help laughing, just laughed a few times, when I looked up, there was no trace of a smile in his light green eyes.
I was slightly startled in my heart, and the smile froze on my face.
"You told me this, do you want me to help you?" Just for a moment, the familiar smile appeared on An Ti's face, and before I could answer, he said, "I I can help you, but there is one condition."
"What conditions?" Hearing the first half of his sentence, I was still ecstatic, but the second half was like a bucket of cold water being poured.
"Create a dream for me."
"What?" My jaw almost dropped, "Please, you are a dream god, why would you let me create dreams for you, and I don't know how to create dreams at all." Is his skull broken? It's...
"It's true that I am the Oneiroi," he looked at me, "but I have never tried dreaming. Although I am in charge of the dreams of the three realms, I can't let myself dream, because there is no surprise at all. .”
"But why don't you let your brother or something help you create a dream?"
"We have all lived together for tens of thousands of years, the dreams he created must be boring."
"But I won't..."
"Come on," he took my hand and walked inside, until he walked to the room where he usually works. He clapped his hands lightly, and a half-meter-long purple crystal stone appeared in front of me, "This is called a dream stone. You just need to write your dream on this stone, and finally write the other person's name." The name is enough, it’s very simple, right?”
"So amazing? Then why haven't I seen you use it before?"
"This is my baby, I usually only use it to send dreams to my brother."
"If you only write the name of the person, what should you do if it is the same name?"
"So, it is not common to dream of stones, because you can only write while thinking about that person's appearance."
"Oh, it turns out that this is so troublesome. How do you write it? What about the pen?"
"You don't need a pen, just use your fingers."
"Really?" I drew on it a few times with my fingers in doubt, and there were a few clear handwriting. I just wrote a few words, and suddenly turned my head and said: "Then why are you still watching, wouldn't there be no surprises?"
"That's right!" He suddenly realized and laughed, "I'll go to bed quickly!" Seeing him looking forward to it like a child, I also laughed, um, let's give him a child's dream.
It didn't take long for me to finish writing, and as soon as I finished writing, all the writing on the stone disappeared. When I looked at him again, he was already asleep.
Maybe you are dreaming about the playground, are you playing on a wooden horse, riding a roller coaster, running into a haunted house, or sitting in a bear-shaped chair eating oversized cotton candy and ice cream?
The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and the dimples around his lips are looming, so cute.
I looked at Mengmengshi. Anyway, I still have time, so I might as well send a dream to Si Yin and Sanatesi by the way.
After writing all the dreams, I went back to my room.
Lying on the bed, I stared at the ceiling in a daze. This dream stone is really a good thing. If I use it to give myself a dream every day, I will become a peerless beauty today and the number one in the universe tomorrow. Rich woman, live in a villa made of chocolate the day after tomorrow...
In reverie, I slowly closed my eyes.
Tonight, I hope everyone will have a good dream.
Under the boundless blue sky, Oulufis played a moving love song, and Yulishi smiled and danced beside him...
In March in Yangchun, Si Yin sat in the courtyard where the cherry blossoms were falling, and took a light sip of green tea...
In the warm sunshine, Sanatesi took a large group of cute children to have a picnic by the lake, with a smile brighter than the sun on his face...
If possible, I really want to send the most beautiful dreams to those unforgettable people I have met.
