piecing together the soul

Chapter 19 Eighteen White Lies
"Really?" Xiao Han asked back, "Do I often say that?"

"Yeah," I said, "I just met you yesterday, and I've heard you say it several times just today."

"Maybe," he smiled. "Anyway, it's better to do good deeds. Just like the female ghost just now, she has been wandering for hundreds of years. Although she has a lot of obsession, her consciousness is still clear. In this case, I We must persuade her to reincarnate."

"Is it okay to persuade her to reincarnate?" I don't know what happened, but I would suddenly ask such a sentence.

"of course."

I thought about it, and then said: "But, since she has obsessions, she just doesn't want to be reincarnated. You are making her do something she doesn't want to do."

"Xiuying", Xiaohan called me suddenly, and the voice made even a ghost like me feel eerie.

I didn't dare to speak, I just looked back at him as I walked, and he continued: "She is still a conscious ghost now, but it's hard to guarantee that she won't become a wraith or a ghost if she continues like this. Consciousness can only harm people. At that time, I can only beat her to death. She is just a poor girl who died young, she should be reborn in bliss or reincarnated as a human, she shouldn't end up like that."

He is right.At least I was persuaded.On the way of life and death, he indeed sees it more thoroughly than I do.But who is he?I can't ask too directly, so I plan to start from other places first, and follow the clues.

"Is she in love with someone?" I also heard what the woman said just now, so I asked.

Xiao Han replied: "Yes, she loves an emperor."

"Who is it?" I asked, "From what she said, the one who built the palace?"

"That's right," Xiao Han said with a smile, "I'm from the Department of History, so I'm very familiar with it. By the way, Lord Guo also likes this emperor very much."

"emperor?"

"Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu, Emperor Yongle."

"Qingluan also likes it?"

Xiao Han immediately smiled and said, "Master Guo likes it very much. There are not many people who can make her a male god, but Ming Chengzu is one."

"Is this emperor very powerful?"

"It's okay." Xiao Han put away her smile, "Actually, I don't have a good impression of this person. He was ruthless, sensitive and suspicious, and provoked wars. I don't know how many innocent people died because of him. Just now That woman is one of them."

I asked casually, "Do you know how she died?"

"She said it herself. I have chatted with her for a long time. Do you think it is easy to persuade a person who has been dead for hundreds of years to reincarnate? She said that she admired Emperor Yong Le very much at that time. That day she served the emperor once. , but unexpectedly said a few words with the emperor. She was so happy that night that she didn't sleep, but the next day she made a mistake while serving the master and empress, and was locked up. Later, for some reason, she I got sick, and eventually got very sick and died.”

"Didn't she die of illness? What does it have to do with Emperor Yong Le?"

I looked back at Xiaohan again, and found that he was looking at me with strange eyes, and said, "Are all of you people so simple back then? Or was it just you? The reason why she was locked up was because Yongle and She said a few words. Whether it caused her to have a bad rest and poor service, or to make her master and empress hold grudges, it was all because of a few words that Yongle said casually. These few words, ruined For such a flower-like girl, and let her wander here alone for hundreds of years!"

I stopped and stared at Xiaohan with fixed eyebrows: "That's not what you said to her just now."

"Why am I talking to her about this? Saying these words will only increase her hatred and resentment, and she will not be able to leave here to reincarnate." Xu Xiaohan saw my dissatisfaction, but she was still confident, "Xiuying, this is A white lie. It’s like, you lied to Master Guo that you negotiated with Wraith Ling, but didn’t say that you almost lost your soul when you confronted Wraith Ling. I believe Master Guo once told such a lie.”

indeed.Jing Xiaohan reminded me that it suddenly occurred to me that Qingluan was afraid that her friend would worry about her, so she also lied and concealed my existence from him.And the lie I told Qingluan wasn't just that one?Maybe it's okay to lie like this?
We walked to the garden while we were talking, and I said, "It's in this garden, follow me closely, and I will help you look at the man just now."

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

It was completely dark at this time, but there were still a few lights in the garden.Xiao Han said in a low voice, "Fortunately, frugality has become popular recently, and the lights here have been turned on a lot less."

"Is that so? Do you still need to turn on the lights here?" I say this because there are faint phantoms of ghosts all around, and there is still light without turning on the lights.And I don't know why, there are so many ghosts here.

"Of course it doesn't matter to us, I can also see all kinds of souls." Xiao Han whispered, "But the person you mentioned should be invisible, so we can see more, what he can see There are few places. The enemy is clear and we are dark, so..."

"Shh!" I said, "you'd better keep your mouth shut before anyone overhears you."

Xiao Han did not speak any more.

We came to the side of the rockery, and I said, "I can feel it, it's just below here."

Xiao Han had already quietly hid in a hollow behind the rockery, and I didn't see him until I walked through the rockery.

He looked at the time and said, "It's only past eight o'clock now, let's start at ten o'clock later, I'll wait here, and I shouldn't be found."

I looked outside, and there were really colorful ghosts floating around, and I could see more than twenty of them at a glance: "There are so many ghosts, why is no one following you?"

Xiao Han is a very vigilant person, maybe I asked too openly, but he didn't answer, but said: "Don't you think there are too many ghosts in this place?"

"Yeah." I really thought so, "I have walked so many roads just now, it is not as much as here."

Xiao Han hooked the corner of her mouth and said, "I guess, there may be many bones buried under this garden."

I subconsciously looked at the ground, and suddenly felt that what he said made sense.Then, I felt Yang Qi approaching, so I looked up and said hurriedly, "Shh! Don't make a sound! I saw that man!"
