Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 9

In the county yamen, the yamen servants have not yet woken up from the strange wind just now.

Sister wiped her tears and shouted repeatedly, what's the matter, man.

Only Luo Tang, slumped on the ground, dressed in happy attire, with haggard eyes, muttered to himself, why did God treat me like this...

Ge Qiuba called a few yamen servants and searched around, and there was no clue until midnight.

The white-faced yamen servant whispered, "There must be ghosts in this city."

Ge Qiuba has no way to refute. He has been on the job for many years, and faced with some strange things, he has to admit that this Chengcheng is not that simple.

Frost poured out of the window.

Zhijin picked up the bead hairpin on the wooden table and pierced her fingertips. A blood bead was still floating in the air. She blew lightly, and the red flame burned the talisman array that Chang Di used to seal her.

Chang Di looked at this scene indifferently, a little surprised, but it was fleeting.Sure enough, as he expected, this girl named Zhijin is definitely not an ordinary little demon, but there is no way to find out her true identity, and he doesn't want to find out...

He was lying on the eaves, drinking a jug of wine, looking at the bright moonlight, trying to forget Zhijin's charming appearance in her wedding dress. He knew that he couldn't help himself in living, and he shouldn't implicate anyone, especially It's her silly girl.

Where was it when you first met her?
It was in the Heavenly Court. As a new tiger, he was invited to attend the banquet held by the Queen Mother and Immortal Venerable. Chat about strange things.

After saluting to the queen mother as usual, he found his favorite position, but was stepped on by a wild girl. Before she realized it, he was pulled behind by Lord Huode Xing to protect him.He knew that Huode Xingjun was of the same kind as himself, his face was as frosty, and he ignored everything, but if there was any conflict, he would resolutely ignore everything.

The attendants don't know the etiquette and are timid, don't be surprised.He still held her tightly in his broad sleeves.

He could see the weight of that woman in Kong Chen's eyes.

nothing.He glanced at her dress, pink and white, the color of peach blossoms.

Afterwards, he didn't see her enter the event, maybe Kongchen sent her back, but Kongchen put the flat peach and Sansheng Yulu in a brocade box.

Contrary to his expectations, how much that Kong Chen doted on that woman, he was a bit curious about what kind of appearance she had after being used to beauty.

Zhijin sighed, how could Chang Di, who had a deep heart in his heart, allow himself to break through his talisman array so easily and escape, it turned out that the entire county government had already set up a new talisman array.

Ju'er came out of nowhere, "Zhi Jin, follow me back, if you don't come back, the tiger will make me suffer."

What a big devil, actually using Ping'er to threaten her, she had no choice but to lose the battle, and unwillingly followed Ping'er back.

She poured tea for Zhijin, seeing her displeased face, she relieved, "Don't you want to return to Heaven with Lord Xing?"

Of course Zhijin wanted to, but he was also him in the human world, and she didn't want him to die at such a young age, "I just don't want to see Lord Xing die like this."

"I know what you want, but the matter has come to an end, and the more he stays in the world, the more he will suffer."

"There is no need to take death so seriously. Sometimes, death is also a kind of life." Her smile was a little sad.

"Jing'er, I..."

"I've known you for a long time, and I know what you want from me, but I'm just a female ghost and I can't do anything."

On the day Luo Tang was hanged, Zhi Jin thought that she would be restless, and in the end went madly to save Mr. Xing, but she never expected that the tea that Ping'er gave her that night was a kind of tea that would make her faint after drinking it. A drug that can only wake up after Changdi casts a spell.

He made Zhijin hate him again, she had no energy to say anything, her whole body was very tired, she still lay on the bed, not speaking.

Chang Di sat by the bed, his eyes seemed to fall on a bare tree outside the window, she saw his back and felt that he was lonely at the moment, "What's wrong with him?"

"For the hanging yesterday, an official from the county government prepared his funeral for him. You don't need to worry about it."

"Can I go and see him?" Zhijin's eyes sparkled, and she knew that she had tears since that day.

He got up, hugged her, and in the psychedelic mist, he came to a good place with green mountains and green waters. Not far away was a newly built tomb with a tombstone in front of it.

"Don't be too sad." He put her on the ground and gently supported her.

Zhijin pushed his hand away, and walked step by step towards Luo Tang who was sleeping under the dust of the world.

The distance was only a few steps, but she seemed to have walked in her entire life, she had never experienced such pain, the fire on her forehead burned uncontrollably, her chest was torn, and she cried out in pain.

"Girl, girl..." Changdi held her in his arms and used magic to suppress the flames for her, and she gradually recovered.

The face was wet, and Zhijin raised his hand to touch it, "Chang Di, you see, I'm really going to cry, my heart is about to grow."

With affection in his eyes, he hugged her tightly.

On the tombstone it says:

The Tomb of Zhijin's Husband-in-law Luo Tang
Her Luo Tang really died, and her short life ended hastily.He will immediately return to the Heavenly Court, and become that stalwart and handsome Huode Xingjun again, empty dust...

But Zhijin doesn't want to go back to the sky right now. Didn't Zu Yun say that people have to pay homage after death, so he should be Luo Tang, this husband-in-law in the world, how long will he pay homage...

Chang Di could only sigh, helpless.

Indeed, even she herself was at a loss.

For the past seven days, she knelt and sat in front of Luo Tang's grave from morning to night, either shedding tears and throwing paper money, or leaning on his tombstone in a daze.

And he was by her side every night, hugging her to sleep.

He told her a lot of stories, and Chang Di was different from Zu Yun's vivid voice, but told her in a gentle manner.She has never heard of those stories, he and Zu Yun are in the sky and the other is in the world, so the stories are very different.

He said that there is a mountain named Changyou far away. There is no vegetation in it, only lakes and huge rocks. Among them, there is a beast that looks like a human and can speak human language. His name is also Changyou. This kind of beast, as long as When it comes to the world, there will be floods in the place.

He also said that there are some vicious empresses in the palace who spared no expense. The mother's family hired people to go to Panzhong Mountain, which is known as the place of dead heads, to pick a kind of flower called 蓇草, and make it into Jueyusan to poison other people. favorite concubine.

"Changdi..."

"Tomorrow is the ninth day, do you still want to stay here? Don't you want to go back to Heaven?"

Zhijin lay wearily in his arms, she wondered why she never refused his embrace, "Chang Di, is there a kind of medicine or wine in your story that can make people forget what they want to forget?"

She looked at the moon and wondered whether Zu Yun was looking at his moon girl by the star river, or whether Xingjun was looking forward to her return in the vicissitudes of the moonlight.

A small night bird flew in front of them as if lost, after a long while, it was still far away.

At that moment, Zhijin missed her nameless valley terribly, Qionghua by the small clear pool, and night walks all over the mountains and plains.

"Have you made up your mind?" he whispered.

She hesitated, "Will that thing make me forget all my memories?"

"No, it follows your will, so after you drink it, you will only forget everything about Luo Tang."

"Drink it... what is it?"

"Wang Chuanshui, I'll take you there tomorrow."

But even Changdi didn't know that the Wangchuan water was only effective for ordinary people, but for the demon, it was just drinking a glass of snow water.

Before leaving for Wangchuan, Zhijin went to Duxianlou first, and bid farewell to Ping'er, both of whom were reluctant to part.

They are on the terrace with hundreds of flowers, looking at the bustling buildings and pavilions.Zhijin has nothing, and the wooden bracelet on her wrist is not allowed to be controlled by her, and the money is also given by Ping'er.She went to the mountains and picked some herbs. It was Xingjun who taught her to identify some plants.

"I have nothing around me, and you gave me the money, so I went to dig some herbs myself, exchanged for the silver, and bought this bracelet as a thank you gift."

She took it and hugged Zhijin, "Let's go and say goodbye, there will be a time later."

Bid farewell to Luo Tang, buried the wedding dress next to his tomb, and engraved a tombstone: the tomb of Mrs. Luo Tang's ashes.

Before leaving, he felt that the place was desolate, so Changdi used magic to conjure some peach blossom trees that would not disappear, and surrounded the tomb.

When the peach blossoms bloom next year, will I come back to see you as I wish, Luo Tang.
