Chapter 15: You don't see Gao Tang Mingjing's sad white hair, green silk into snow 2
Since it is a requirement for people, gifts are naturally indispensable. If you don't ask about nobles, you should at least be sincere. But if you want to get an ecstasy fragrance, what kind of gift is not rude?
Han Ruxu didn't think about what to bring when the shift was handed over. It was almost dark. When I passed by Dingyuanfang, I suddenly saw a peddler selling fried white fruits about to close the stall. He went to the ground and bought all the few whiteberries he had left. He was so happy that the peddler shouted loudly.
Why did you buy fried white fruit? When I walked to the door of Yuezhai, I seemed to be awake, and suddenly I couldn't remember my original intention to buy white fruit.
"It should be possessed by hungry ghosts, right? The ghost must have loved to eat fried gir in his life. Han Ruqi looked at a bag of white fruit in his hand and had no choice but to think about it.
The door of the store was closed, and there was no movement inside. Han Ruqi stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the squeaky sound made him creepy.
"Is anyone there?" There was no one in the store, and there were no candles. It was so dark that people couldn't feel at ease. They were just thinking of going home. Don't find bad luck for yourself on this kind of festival. Suddenly, a red lit up in the corner. Lord Han is here." It was Si Si who came from the courtyard with a lantern.
Although the quenching in purple is also a ghost, after all, he is familiar with him. Han Ruxu put his heart back into his stomach and stepped into the threshold: "What are you doing? Why don't you even light the candle? The black light is blind."
Si Si turned her head and smiled, "It's closed at this time. What's wrong with not lighting candles in the store?"
"...but the door is not closed." I'm not afraid of losing something.
"The master ordered to leave the door for Lord Han, and quenching will close it."
As soon as the door of the store was closed, the bright moonlight on the street was blocked. The only light source in the store was the lantern in her hand. The red light reflected her smiling face, and an extremely unreal feeling floated to Han Ruxu's heart.
...Isn't it really going to happen? Is it too late to regret it now?
"Come on, Lord Han." Si Si said with a smile and turned to the inner courtyard.
He walked forward with his feet disobediently, and followed Si along the corridor to the main box. The corridor is not long, and I have walked countless times on weekdays, but I don't know why it is particularly long today, so that when I raised my hand and knocked on the door, Han Ruqi breathed like a heavy relief.
"Lord Han came just in time. He put down the knife and was ready to go." Wei Tanyi was sitting at the round table, with his fingers crossed on his jaw. When he saw them coming in, he smiled and said. Unlike usual, Wei Tanyi was not wrapped in a headscarf. She only wore long hair, as if she was about to go to bed. She was not wearing the usual white clothes, but a bright red color, which looked particularly enchanting in the dark room.
Han Ruxu looked at him and asked strangely, "Why are you dressed today?"
Wei Tanyi smiled and did not answer, pointing to the stools on both sides and asking them to sit down. Si Si still held the lantern and sat on the right side, and Han Ruxu sat on the left side. There is only one candle on the round table, and there is a round bronze mirror flat behind it.
"Today is a special day. There is a good play. In any case, I want Lord Han to see it with his own eyes," he said. "Close your eyes."
At a glance, he closed his eyes obediently. Even if Han Ruxu had a hundred questions in his heart, he had to do so. Although he closed his eyes, he always felt that there was a dark red in front of him.
"Okay, open your eyes."
Han Ruxu almost couldn't wait to open his eyes, but what he saw made him breathless and speechless for a long time.
A moment ago, they were still sitting at the round table in the main box of Zhai, but now they are in a small boat, but the boat is somehow round, like a huge wooden basin. The wooden basin floated on a blue and black smoke, swaying slightly, surrounded by boundless darkness, and only the warm wind blew from time to time.
"Where is this?" Han Ruqi grasped the port of the ship, "Where are you taking me?"
"Lord Han, don't be nervous. He will definitely come back tonight." The quenching answered the question, but it also reassured him a little.
Zhongyuan Festival, also known as the day of extermination of local officials, is an annual exchange between the two worlds of yin and yang. The door of Yin Cao Difu will open to the sun, and the living will dance with the dead.
"Are you going to take me to hell?" Subconsciously asked.
Wei Tanyi smiled and said, "There is no hell in the world. It's just a delusion in people's hearts."
"If not, where should countless dead people go and how can they be reincarnated?"
"Reincarnation?" Wei Tanyi suddenly sneered, "If a person dies, it's like a light going out. How can he be reincarnated?"
Han Ruqi couldn't help looking at quenching. Si Si died hundreds of years ago. Isn't her existence enough to prove that people have souls and can be reincarnated? Gu Si saw his doubts and explained, "Lord Han, although a person has a soul, if he has nothing to do with his mind, he will turn into nothingness in an instant, and there is absolutely no possibility of reincarnation."
"Ah?" Han Ruxu was stunned, which was completely different from what he had heard in the past. It was unbelievable.
"It's almost there." Wei Tanyi pointed to the front unexpectedly. Looking along his fingertips, the starlight was faintly visible, which should be a city.
"That's the shadow of Tianwang City. It has its own shape because of this extremely gloomy day. This is a spectacle that will not be seen in a hundred years." When Wei Tanyi said this, an incredible look appeared on his face.
***
The dead silence of Tianwang City in the reflection can't even smell the incense of worshiping ancestors, and only some erratic shadows wandered on the street.
The wooden basin floated in mid-air, walking slowly along the streets. Those floating figures seemed to not see them, and they were in a hurry.
"Is it just floating like this?" Han Ruxu came out to see the people on the street below.
"Lord Han, just look at it. Don't hinder me from doing things."
Wei Tanyi is holding a charm in one hand and a jade bottle in the other, as if he was waiting for something.
"What is he going to do?" Although it was not his turn to take care of this world of reflection, even if he killed and set fire, Han Ruxu was still not worried, so he asked Si Si.
Si Si raised his finger and shook it: "If there is danger later, Lord Han will protect us!"
My eyes are about to come out of my eyes. Shall I protect you? Haha, you're joking. I don't have the ability to protect you in this world," Han Ru smiled. "If you think it's dangerous, you shouldn't come."
"Shh--"
Wei Tanyi, who was sitting in danger, suddenly glanced around and whispered, "I'm coming."
What else to ask, a gradually approaching gongs and drums replaced the answer. At the end of the blurred street, some small black spots gradually appeared, which slowly enlarged and turned into a personal shape. Some were blowing suona, some were beating drums, and some were pulling erhu cross-legged, as if they were not living people.
"What is that?" Han Ruxu couldn't help lowering his voice.
"Hasn't Lord Han heard of it?" Wei Tanyi sighed, "That's the legendary hundred ghosts at night."
