Chapter 188 Chu You saw Jiang Xinbai's passing
Chu You didn't know how to explain this question. He pondered for a while before saying silently:
"I saw your soul being sucked into the entrance to the underworld. I wanted to pull you back, but I didn't expect my own spirit to be pulled in instead."
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Xinbai was so anxious that he almost couldn't control himself and made a sound.
But even though he held back his voice, the arc of his movement in pulling her was quite large, startling Bai Wuchang so much that he turned his head back. The two of them quickly acted as dazed and lifeless as Sun Lei and the others. Only then did Hei Wuchang scratch his head in confusion:
"Brother, why do I seem to hear some noise?
But the souls of these two moved on their own?"
"idiot!"
Bai Wuchang slapped Hei Wuchang on the back of the head, "They are following us, how could there be no sound!"
"But……"
"Don't worry about this or that! Send them all to the Hades Palace quickly, we still have to rush to deal with the next wave of ghosts!"
"All right!"
Hei Wuchang had no choice but to continue walking with the "souls" of Chu You and others.
Chu You finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was puzzled that he felt guilty because of Jiang Xinbai's "nonsense".
But in just a moment, she glared back rudely:
“What’s the fuss?
You've risked your life for the good cause. If it were anyone else, I would have stepped in to help in such an urgent situation."
He knows...
Jiang Xinbai's heart was filled with a dense feeling of bitterness, which then turned into a slight sweetness.
So what if he wasn't special to her?
At least her instinct was to save him, which proved that she didn't hate him or reject him. What else was lacking?
After figuring it out, Jiang Xinbai's entire soul became tender and affectionate:
"Youyou, I was wrong just now. You risked your life to save me, but I was still mean to you. You deserve to die!"
Chu You: "You are already a soul now!"
Jiang Xinbai: "..."
Can we still have a good chat?
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xinbai finished his self-conquest again, becoming even more gentle and courteous than before:
"Don't worry, once I understand the ways of the underworld, I will definitely send your soul back to the world of cultivation safely."
Chu You: "My original body has fallen into a coma, and I can't get in touch with anyone in the cultivation world. My two husbands are still waiting for me in the cultivation world. How can I not be anxious?"
Jiang Xinbai: "..."
On this day, I couldn’t even continue a conversation!
Chu You saw that Jiang Xinbai finally couldn't pretend anymore, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly returned to normal and said seriously:
"Don't worry, I will not only return with my own soul intact, but I will also bring you, Sun Lei, and Li Liang's souls back to the world of cultivation safely!"
It wasn't that Jiang Xinbai didn't want to respond, but that he simply didn't know how to respond.
He really didn't know where Chu You got the confidence to say such things.
Only when he really arrived in the underworld did Chu You suddenly realize an extremely serious problem.
In her nine reincarnations, it seemed that she had never encountered the Black and White Impermanence after death, nor had she visited the Palace of the Underworld, walked across the Naihe Bridge, or drunk Mengpo Soup.
She literally just closed her eyes and opened them again, and she seamlessly transitioned to her next life!
To the extent that she felt that everyone, like her, was just a matter of opening and closing their eyes after death.
In fact, in her opinion, she has always believed that the underworld may not really exist!
It was not until this moment that she truly felt that her previous cognition was indeed biased!
She really wanted to grab the Black and White Impermanence and ask them everything about the underworld.
But I was afraid of complications, so I forced myself to hold it back.
I didn't know how long I walked with them, so long that Chu You was almost sleepy, when they finally stopped outside an extremely huge palace.
The Palace of the Underworld Emperor is dark and deep, located beneath the Nine Netherworlds. It is the darkest place that the living are not allowed to peek into.
The palace is majestic and built of black stone, exuding a cold and mysterious atmosphere.
The door of the temple was only opened a tiny gap to allow the Black and White Impermanence to come in and out with their souls. On both sides were guarded by ferocious-looking ghost generals, which was daunting.
There were gusts of cold wind inside, and the sound of low chanting could be heard, as if it was to save the souls of the dead, or to guard the secret of reincarnation.
This is the place where souls are judged, a symbol of the boundary between life and death, where awe and solemnity arise spontaneously.
On the only way to the Palace of Pluto, there stands a water mirror that is two people tall.
Every soul passing by must stand in front of the mirror for a long time before being taken into the Palace of Pluto.
Because Chu You and Jiang Xinbai were holding hands and couldn't separate, when the mirror reflected Jiang Xinbai, Chu You could also see everything in the mirror.
She had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, so she kept her brows lowered from beginning to end and did not even look at the mirror.
But the Black Impermanence guarding them was a chatterbox. After watching for a while, he said in surprise:
"Brother, what did I say just now? This woman is clearly not a spirit, yet she willingly followed this man's spirit into our underworld, and she kept holding his hand and refused to let go. She must be deeply in love with him!
I guessed it right!
The mirror of the afterlife reflects the man's past life. He and the woman are clearly childhood sweethearts, in love and affectionate with each other. It's so sweet!"
What the hell?
She and Jiang Xinbai are in love!
This mirror of rebirth is probably a fake, right?
Thinking of this, Chu You couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The scenes in the mirror of rebirth made her feel like she was struck by lightning. She was so shocked that she didn't know how to move her eyes!
In the picture, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was sitting on the steps behind Shangshanzong, hugging her knees and crying, her eyes red.
Jiang Xinbai, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, came over and rubbed her hair with concern:
"I told you, if you have any unhappiness, come to the main peak of Shangshan Sect to find me. Why are you hiding in the back mountain alone again?
Still crying?
Um? "
Anyone can hear the fondness in the last word "hmm".
The girl Chu You buried her head even deeper and snorted in a sullen manner:
“Who wants you to care?
You've become the chief disciple of the master, so why would you care about me, a mere inner disciple with mediocre qualifications?"
"ah!
Are you angry now?"
The young man Jiang Xinbai smiled proudly. Far from being annoyed by the young man Chu You's sarcasm, he sat down beside her more gently, very close to her, without any gap.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he nudged her lightly with his elbow.
Before she responded, he quietly extended his little finger, gently hooked it around hers and shook it:
"Okay, don't be angry anymore.
No matter how I become, I will never change in your presence!"
