Peach Blossom Shop

Chapter 296 The Third Request

"By the way, I think Zhang Boduan seems to be a very scheming person." This time it was Lin Manlu who spoke first.

Bai Le was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Lin Manlu thought about it, and told Bai Le about his previous relationship with Zhang Boduan in Tianting and the deal Zhang Boduan made with him when he went to the appointment alone that night.After finishing speaking, he asked, "Bai Le, do you think this Zhang Boduan will assassinate Yuyu in private?"

Bai Le smiled and shook his head, "No."

Lin Manlu couldn't believe it, "Really?"

"Well," Bai Le said, "Listen to you, Zhang Boduan is a cold-hearted person by nature. A cold person usually doesn't play despicable tricks or have malicious intentions. The only thing he values ​​is probably It is the position of Emperor of Heaven that he has always thought belonged to him. Making a deal with you is probably an excuse, and he has the position of Emperor of Heaven in his mind."

Lin Manlu was stunned by Bai Le's words, and she blinked again, "Are you speaking human language?"

Bai Le was amused by her, "You're talking nonsense."

Lin Manlu pouted.

Bai Le smiled and said, "That is to say, Zhang Boduan's thoughts are actually not that complicated. He probably just wanted to make a favor, but he was afraid that you would not accept it, so he made a deal with you."

"Ah?" Lin Manlu opened his mouth.

Seeing that Lin Manlu didn't seem to be depressed because of Zhang Zeyu, Bai Le couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't think so much, anyway, there won't be any What a danger."

Lin Manlu saw that Bai Le had said that, and the faint worry in his heart disappeared, so he felt relieved, "Well, as long as he doesn't harm me and Yuyu, it will be fine."

Bai Le continued to walk forward with her, and said, "However, I'm a little strange. Didn't he say that he cooperated with your conditions to save the Queen Mother's life? Why did the Emperor of Heaven strip the Queen Mother's soul later? He didn't even An overreaction?"

Lin Manlu was a little surprised, "How do you know this?"

Bai Le shrugged.

Lin Manlu knew that he had a channel for him to know the news, so she didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Well, I don't know exactly what is going on with them. But after listening to Sister Baihua, Zhang Boduan seems to be mentally prepared. Zhang Boduan didn't react too much to the emperor's handling of the Queen Mother."

"Really?" Bai Le pondered for a while, then said, "It seems that Heavenly Court will soon change hands."

Lin Manlu didn't react much when he heard it, but just nodded.

Bai Le was a little surprised, "You guessed it?"

Lin Manlu said, "It's not a guess. Sister Baihua also guessed this way before, but it doesn't matter to us whether the emperor changes or not. I just want Yuyu to wake up safely."

Seeing Lin Manlu's expression, Bai Le still felt a little pain in his heart, so he nodded silently without saying anything.

"When Yuyu wakes up, I want to go back to Peach Valley with him for a while, and then go to travel around the world." Lin Manlu said, with some excitement, "Go and see the Antarctic that I have always wanted to see .”

Bai Le laughed, "Everyone else goes to the Aegean Sea, the Cape of Good Hope, etc. You want to go to that kind of extremely cold place."

Lin Manlu chuckled, "Well, of course we have to see the best scenery first."

Bai Le smiled.

"By the way," Lin Manlu suddenly remembered, "When will you take over as Hades?"

Bai Le looked at her, "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Manlu glanced at him, then glanced away with a strange expression.

Bai Le frowned, "What's wrong?"

Lin Manlu squinted at the Bi'an River, and after a while, stepping on Bai Le's urging voice, he muttered, "I heard that Lord Yan wants to match a wife from the Yasha clan..."

Bai Le was taken aback.

He almost forgot that Yasha is the exclusive weapon of Lord Yama. Since ancient times, in order for Yasha and Yama to become one, there has been a hidden rule in the underworld. Race, the new King of Hades chooses his favorite Yasha.In order to make the yaksha more loyal to the king of hell, the general yaksha clan that is favored by the king of hell, regardless of gender, will marry the king of hell and take half of the affairs of the underworld in charge of the king of hell.

Seeing Bai Le's expression, Lin Manlu guessed that he really forgot about it, so the corners of his mouth twitched, "Did you forget?"

Bai Le shrugged again.

Lin Manlu shook his head, "Then do you intend to marry a Yasha?"

Bai Le grinned, "Seeing that Mrs. Yasha is asking me to marry someone who is exactly the same, do you want me to die?"

Lin Manlu laughed, "Dare to speak ill of Mrs. Yasha, be careful that she blows up your house."

Bai Le smiled, "That's right, I just have the opportunity to ask for a few days off."

Lin Manlu smiled.

On the 13th floor of Yincao Difu, Mrs. Yasha, who was supervising the ghost messenger, sneezed loudly.

When Bai Le sent Lin Manlu to the exit, he said with some concern, "I can't get away from the underworld for the time being, so you must send someone to tell me if you have something to do."

Lin Manlu turned around, turned to look at him, then trotted back a few steps, stood in front of Bai Le, stretched out his hand, and hugged Bai Le.

Bai Le was startled.

Lin Manlu hugged her for a while, then let go quickly, and said with a smile, "I see." Then he turned around and ran out of the exit of Hades.

Bai Le stood there, unable to recover. After a long while, he touched his chest, turned around, and prepared to go back to the Hall of Ghost Judgment, and continue to do his coolies.

"Clap."

Something fell from Bai Le's arms to the ground, Bai Le bent down to pick it up, saw that it was a thick cotton bag, opened it, and was stunned.

What's in the thick cotton bag?
It is a small ceramic doll that looks like Bai Le in white clothes.The base of the doll is a brightly blooming peach blossom, and the doll, with its hands behind its back, has a cold face, but a slight smile at the corner of its mouth, a little uninhibited and a little casual.

After a while, Bai Le smiled and clenched the doll in his hand - it turned out that this was Lin Manlu's last request to him, to be himself.

Lin Manlu handed the doll to Bai Le just like that, naturally guessing that he could understand what he meant.Returning to the human world contentedly, he found himself standing in a field in the outskirts.

Lin Manlu looked at the precocious rice, and suddenly remembered the time when he and Zhang Zeyu met the red ball near Wangjia Village.Looking back from that day until now, although the two of them didn't experience any big storms, the journey was full of twists and turns.The days when we are truly sweet and happy together are really rare.

Thinking of this, Lin Manlu felt even more guilty and sad.After taking a few deep breaths, he put the lantern back in his hand, took out his cell phone, and called Li Guangquan, and told Li Guangquan about the inquiry with Tang Lihua in Hades.

After listening, Li Guangquan said, "Well, I didn't expect ghosts to be unable to speak. But now that I can confirm that the deceased was indeed murdered, I can file a case for investigation. If there is any news, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Lin Manlu nodded, "Okay, let me know if I need help."

"Well, then I'll continue the meeting and contact you later." Li Guangquan said.

"Okay, Officer Li, you go first." After Lin Manlu finished speaking, Li Guangquan hung up the phone in a hurry.

Putting away the phone, Lin Manlu looked left and right again, and suddenly heard a crisp copper bell.The bell sounded long and broken, and it sounded very weird, which made Lin Manlu frown.

Looking around again, seeing that it was still early and there were many farmers around, Lin Manlu thought about it, and decided to go and see what the ringing was all about.

As he walked towards the place where the bell was ringing, Lin Manlu thought, if Yuyu was here, he would definitely not agree to his rash actions, and maybe he would even scold him!

While thinking about it, Lin Manlu slowly approached the place where the copper bell sounded - a small pergola hidden on the small ridge of the farmland.

Lin Manlu poked his head quietly, and saw a skinny old man sitting cross-legged on a simple bed made of the inner door panel of the arbor with his eyes closed, holding a bell in his left hand, dangling non-stop.

"Crack!"

Lin Manlu was engrossed in peeking at the old man, completely unaware of a dead wood branch under his feet, and stepped on it with a loud cracking sound, scaring Lin Manlu back again and again, almost falling into the farmland behind him.

The old man in the shed slowly opened his eyes, without stopping the movement of his hands, and said to the outside of the shed, "Kids outside, come in."

Lin Manlu supported the outer wall of the arbor in shock, took a breath, and leaned his head in embarrassment, "Master, how do you know I'm a child, not a big friend?"

The old man smiled, but instead of answering Lin Manlu, he asked, "Did you hear the voice coming? This summoning bell is not something ordinary people can hear."

Lin Manlu blinked, and slapped his head suddenly, "Ah! I forgot, I just said that the ringtone became weirder the more I heard it, it turned out to be a spirit calling bell!"

Seeing that Lin Manlu didn't seem to be afraid, the old man smiled again, ringing the bell in his hand non-stop, and said, "It seems that the little girl knows about the soul calling bell."

Lin Manlu covered her mouth—speak quickly, she missed it!
Seeing that Lin Manlu seemed a little scared, the old man smiled and said, "Come and sit with me?"

Lin Manlu supported the outer wall, hesitating.

The old man continued to shake the bell in his hand, and said with a smile, "Today is the last day of the 49 days I have been summoning souls here. It is fate to meet children, why don't you chat with me?"

Lin Manlu thought for a while, then ran to sit down on the field ridge opposite the shed, and said to the old man in the shed, "Anyway, I'm fine, so I'll chat with you for a while."

The old man smiled, "Thank you."

Lin Manlu saw that he was skinny and skinny, and the long and broken bells in his hands kept ringing, so he said, "Master, I heard that the bell of the summoning bell has no core, and it takes a lot of effort to knock it. Why do you want to knock it?" This summoning bell?"

The old man smiled and said, "Little girl knows a lot? Is the family a Taoist priest?"
