Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 9: truth
It was night, and I entered the dream of Pluto again.
It was still by the lake, this time, he seemed to know that I would come, and he was not surprised at all.
"What, are you going to enter my dream every night?" He looked at the lake, "Even so, it's impossible for me to give you Manzhushahua."
"Actually, have you ever thought that the Empress Dowager actually loves you?" I whispered.
He shook his body and turned his head to look at me, "What did you say?"
"As you said, the queen of the underworld wants to turn the underworld into a garden. How about a woman who is willing to spend time planting flowers, turning the underworld into a garden, and welcoming every morning with a smiling face and flowers? Isn't it because she has something in her heart? Love? How can a woman with love in her heart fall in love with others so easily because of a momentary dispute? Is it——some misunderstanding happened?" I walked to his side and said my previous doubts out. Fortunately, you can move freely in your dreams.
"Misunderstanding?" He repeated in a low voice, "but she said it herself."
"Don't you know that there is a saying that seeing is believing and hearing is not? You have only heard Xibo's one-sided words, and have you ever discerned the truth from the words of the queen of the underworld? At that time, you, I'm afraid they are all angry, and what they say in that situation may not be the truth."
His gray eyes darkened, "Are you suspicious of Xibo? Impossible, he is my closest partner, and he will never lie to me."
"Master Pluto, I actually want to know if Xibo has lied to you. It is not impossible." Recalling Xibo's series of reactions, I feel more and more that my hypothesis is possible.
He pondered for a while, and finally asked two words, "What?"
I felt relieved, and smiled slightly, "First of all, you have to release me from this forest valley."
He stood up, pulled up a long reed, and said expressionlessly, "I can let you go, but," his eyes narrowed slightly, "you also need to know that if Hippo didn't If you lie to me, then you will be thrown into the den of poisonous snakes for the crime of despising God."
The trench of the poisonous snake, I stabilized my mind that was uneasy due to fear, and let out a word from between my lips and teeth: "Okay!" I can't control so much whether I live or die, I only know that if I gamble, at least I still have a chance, if I don't gamble, let alone saving the bird, even I myself can't get out of the underworld.
Soon, I returned to Antioch's palace. While drinking pomegranate juice, I secretly sighed, it feels so good to be able to move freely, and I will treat those plants well when I return to the human world, and I finally know that being a plant is not easy. An Ti was naturally surprised and delighted that I was released, and he didn't expect Pluto to spare me so easily. I can only smile wryly. For this freedom, the price I paid was painful.
"Xiaoyin!" Following An Ti's voice, he hurried in.
"What's wrong?" I drank the last sip of pomegranate juice.
"Master Pluto, for some reason, ordered someone to pull out all the manjusawa at the gate of the palace. My brother and Master Xiu couldn't persuade him."
"Oh?" I immediately put down the cup and walked out, "Let's go and have a look too."
Outside the palace of Hades, several maids were pulling the manjusawa at the door, Xiu looked regretful and shook his head repeatedly, while Xibo clenched his hands slightly although his expression was calm.
"It's strange. Although the adults hated these flowers before, they still kept them. What happened today?" An Ti said to Xiu and Xibo.
I glanced at them and said coldly: "When the hatred accumulates to a certain stage, it will naturally explode."
As soon as the words fell, Xiu and An Ti were taken aback, and a strange look flashed across Xi Bo's face.
"That's right, there is actually one thing I've been keeping from you all the time, that is, Laya, who is actually here all the time." Elis walked out slowly from the hall, he took off his earrings, and conjured up that An orange manjusawa. Except for An Ti and I, everyone was shocked, especially Xibo, who stared at the flower in shock, with complicated expressions in his blue eyes.
"I thought about it, and kept her soul by my side, but it made me hard to forget the past. In order to completely forget this, today, as the final punishment, I let Laya's The soul will be wiped out, and will disappear forever in the Three Realms."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to pinch the flower. His hand was getting closer and closer to the flower, and my heart was beating harder and harder. Just when his fingers were about to touch the petals, Seeing a person kneel down with a plop.
"Brother?" An Ti's cry made me breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that I won the bet.
"Master Pluto, please let Laya go." Xibo raised his head, his expression difficult to distinguish, "I, Xibo, should be punished."
Elise's gray pupils dimmed quickly, and he said coldly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry, Elis, I lied to you. That man...is not Laya's lover." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked again.
Elise's body trembled slightly, "What did you say?"
Xibo looked straight into his eyes, "That man is not Laya's lover, I lied to you."
"Why...do you do this?" Elias' voice seemed to be trembling slightly.
Siber suddenly laughed, "Elise, do you still remember the first time we saw Raya? The moment you fell in love with her, I—— fell in love with her."
"Brother, what are you talking about!" An Ti anxiously wanted to stop him.
"Let him continue." Elis said calmly.
"Just when you snatched her into the underworld, I still had a chance, maybe she would never fall in love with you at all. Who knows, in the end, she still gave her heart to you, watching you love each other every day Look, my heart is like being bitten by a poisonous snake, jealousy made me gradually lose my mind. Right after that happened, I went to the human world to bring Raya back under your order. At that time, she I said you are the only one she loves."
"Then that man?" Elias continued to ask, I secretly admired how calm Elias could be at this moment.
"That man is just a fisherman who saved her life, so she doesn't want him to get hurt."
"So, what you told me before is all false?"
"—Yes, I was overwhelmed by jealousy."
"But Laya, why did she say that?"
"That's because I told her—" Xibo thought back, and suddenly held his head violently, "What did I tell her? I can't remember, as if my mind went blank , but I did tell her something that would irritate her, that's why she told you that." He muttered, "What the **** did I tell her..."
I felt a chill in my heart, this situation is really weird, Pluto, Xiber, Antioch, Xiu, it seems that all the gods of the underworld have lost an important memory at the same time, I suddenly remembered the blocked memory of Sanatesi It feels like they have been blocked by a memory. But if this is the case, how powerful is the power to seal up the memories of these gods including Pluto at the same time? What a terrifying power...
Eiles caressed the manjusawa flower lightly, and said something in his mouth, and saw two blue lights shooting out from the flower, turning into two figures.
One is a young man with a handsome face, and the other is a slender woman, needless to say, it must be Raya, the queen of the underworld. The long black hair covered half of her face like a waterfall, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, without a trace of blood, even so, it did not damage her peerless appearance in the slightest.
"Laya, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what the consequences will be like this, I just don't want you to be together. I really don't know." Xibo took two steps forward with a look of sadness and guilt, I saw that Elis had already hugged Laya quickly, a trace of anger flashed in his gray eyes, and he pointed with his finger, and a purple light hit him heavily, he took two steps back, and oozing from between his lips A trace of blood.
"Sleep God Xiber, my punishment for you is to cross the river of hatred." As soon as Elis finished speaking, An Ti immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. The Hate River is said to be hidden near Tomita. If God crosses that river, he will lose his divinity. Is Elis trying to deprive Hippo of his rights?
"You don't need to intercede for me," Xi Bo suddenly smiled, and resumed his usual expression and lazy voice, "I'm a bit tired of this sleeping god."
"Brother!" An Ti's voice choked up.
I felt guilty, if it wasn't for me, An Ti wouldn't have lost his brother, right? Is it right or wrong for me to do this? No matter what you do, someone will always get hurt.
"My lord, I understand how you feel, but my brother is in charge of the sleep of the three realms. If you deprive him of his divinity now, the three realms will be in chaos. If your lord really wants to be punished, please let me accept the punishment instead of your brother." , let me cross the river of hatred.”
"Anti, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xibo's expression froze.
"Anti, do you think the Three Realms won't be chaotic without you? At least I, I still like your sweet dreams very much." Death God Xiu smiled slightly, and his black eyes looked at Pluto. I was stunned, this was the first time I saw Death laughing, I usually see him crying a lot.
"Love, for us gods of the underworld, is a luxury. The mistake Xibo made is irreparable, but you are lucky, Mr. Pluto. The misunderstanding has been resolved, at least you still have a chance , there is still time to make amends." Xiu's expression suddenly dimmed, "And I..."
Huh? Looking at the **** of death, did he also have a sad relationship?
Before I finished thinking, he habitually took out his veil and began to sob softly.
Elise's complexion gradually eased. Although the anger still remained in his eyes, his mood was much more stable.
"Xibo, you will still be your sleeping **** for the time being, but from now on I don't want to see you again. Also, Xiu, arrange for that man to reincarnate in Tomita later." After finishing speaking, he hugged With Raya ready to turn and leave.
Anti was overjoyed, and quickly looked at Xibo, but there was no joy on Xibo's face, only a daze.
"Wait," I hurriedly called out to Elis, "So... this flower?"
Eiles stared at the woman in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Since Raya is already here, that flower is no longer important." Orange manjusawa. I only feel a burst of heat and humidity in my eyes. I have worked hard and finally got it. Asuka will wake up soon, and my journey is coming to an end.
After I go back, I only need to complete one more task to end my journey and live happily and ordinaryly with Siyin and Asuka.
"Xiao Yin, are you leaving?" An Ti's emotionless voice came in a low voice, I looked up, and a trace of melancholy flitted across his delicate and handsome face.
"I," I was just about to nod, when I suddenly realized that I had forgotten an important thing, my crystal bracelet!
Forget it, forget it, he must have a lot to say to Laya today, so he can ask Elis to get it back tomorrow.
When he returned to Antioch Palace, he did not speak.
"Anti, I want to say sorry to you, because today's incident was planned by me, and the purpose is to let your brother tell the truth." I whispered.
He shook his head, "It's all over, besides, my brother is indeed at fault. After all, it is because of him that the Empress of the Underworld suffered for tens of thousands of years."
"Actually, your brother is also a pitiful person. Love is something that tortures people." For some reason, my heart suddenly ached slightly, as if I remembered many things in the past.
"That's right, it's really a tormenting thing, like worrying about her all the time, wanting to help her no matter what, just wanting her to be happy, feeling lost without seeing her for a day, wishing she would never leave , but I can't force her to stay, the thought of her leaving will cause a dull pain here." He finished speaking in one breath, and lightly pressed his chest.
"How do you know so clearly, don't you..." I smiled and raised my head, just in time to bump into his pair of light green eyes. His eyes were deep and dark, like the last touch of green on the treetops before autumn. I was shocked, and I couldn't say the ridicule later.
"Create another dream for me tonight?" The gloom in his eyes dissipated in an instant, and his innocent smile returned to him.
"What kind of dream?"
"One - there is Xiao Yin's dream."
"...OK."
Suddenly, an inexplicable sadness welled up in my heart. Oneiroi... is actually very lonely.
The next day, An Ti and I were summoned to his palace by Elis at the same time.
Eiles didn't seem to have slept well. Under the long purple hair, his noble and indifferent handsome face was a bit haggard, but there was a faint gleam in his light gray eyes.
"Master Pluto, is the Queen of Pluto alright?" I couldn't help asking.
He nodded, "Laya has been imprisoned by me for tens of thousands of years, and her body and soul are extremely weak, so she can't wake up for the time being." He paused, "You have made merit this time, so I will pardon your intrusion You can go back to the human world because of the sin of entering the underworld."
"Really?" I almost jumped up with excitement.
"I'll return this bracelet to you too." He took out the crystal bracelet from his arms, and in the blink of an eye, the bracelet returned to my hand. I touched the bracelet again and again, feeling extremely excited, great, nothing is missing, I can leave this dark world immediately!
When my delighted eyes passed over An Ti, for some reason, my heart seemed to be blocked by something.
"I haven't had time to find out who the tall man behind you is, but Ye Yin, I want to tell you that this string of bracelets comes from the heavens, so the tall man behind you is very important, it is very likely--no Human."
My body trembled, what? Is this bracelet something from the heavens? Si Yin—really not human? Impossible... But his face never changed, he has the ability to travel through time and space, and even the ability to travel through the underworld... If he is not human, can everything be explained?
No, no, I shook my head, Si Yin is just a human being with profound magic power... that's all.
"You can go back to the human world directly." Elis swiped his hand, and a door that I had seen before appeared in front of me. "Ah! The gate of time and space!" I shouted in surprise, stretched out my hand and opened the door, and was even more excited. The other side of the door was my most intimate past life and present life teahouse.
"Didn't you say that you can't find out everything about me?" I asked suspiciously.
"This is from your crystal bracelet - your residence."
Is this okay? Isn't it like the IP address of a computer? But that's okay, I don't need to call Si Yin this time, I touched the purple earrings on my ears, I asked Xiu to help me in the morning, and hid the flowers in the earrings, so that I can carry them easily.
"Xiao Yin, have you forgotten? You still owe me a condition." An Ti raised his eyebrows and gave me a sideways glance.
I turned around and gave him a gloomy look. At this moment, he still remembered the condition.
The evil smile that he had seen before flashed again in his eyes, "The condition is——not to leave."
"You." I was at a loss for words, "I can't meet this condition!"
"Not now," his eyes darkened again, "it's when your life ends and you come back here again. At that time, don't leave me again, and stay in the underworld forever."
I stared blankly at him, and after a while I said, "But, as I said, I would be an old woman by then."
His smile became more and more evil, "How do you know that you can live until then?"
My face changed, is my life very short?
He suddenly burst out laughing, and hugged me into his arms, "I scare you, Xiao Yin has a long life, even if she becomes an old woman, she will still be a lovely old woman."
I breathed a sigh of relief, "When I become an old woman, it's too late for you to run away."
He gradually stopped laughing, then suddenly bent his head down and kissed me lightly on the forehead. I jumped up suddenly, wow, what is he doing, when the Hades next to him is dead?
"Accept the kiss of An Ti, my dream god, and your soul after death will belong to me forever." He smiled.
The corners of my mouth started to twitch again, it would be better to leave early...
I glared at him, raised my left foot and stepped into the time-space gate.
"Xiao Yin, I will wait for your return." His slightly playful voice came from behind me.
I couldn't help but want to stare at him, but when I turned my head away, I saw that An Ti had already leaned against Elias' arms, buried his head in the socket of Elias' shoulder, and only his long silver-blue hair was exposed , his shoulders shrugged slightly, while Elis patted his shoulder lightly. I gently covered my chest, it seemed very uncomfortable here...An Ti, is he crying?
"Anti..." I whispered.
He didn't even look up, just waved his hand.
I turned around slowly, and just as I was about to step into the gate of time and space, I heard An Ti's low voice sounding from behind me, "Xiaoyin, that kiss is the imprint of an eternal dream, From now on, you will be accompanied by beautiful dreams every night. I will create every beautiful dream specially for you."
My nose was sore, my feet stopped for a few seconds, I nodded heavily, then raised my feet, and stepped firmly into the time-space gate...
Farewell, Oneiroi.
If you can,
I hope too,
It can create every beautiful dream for you.
Make your nights less lonely.
