All living beings in hell

Chapter 158 - Xu Chu
The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed the 110th and second guest.

A general in copper armor strode into the office.The general has a high bun, a purple lining under the copper plate armor, and a purple cloak.He has a character-horizon goatee and holds a copper-handled saber in the style of the Three Kingdoms period.Tall, with sharp eyebrows, exuding black and purple hostility.

"My lord." The general bowed to me.

"Please sit down." I pointed to the chair.

"It's not etiquette to take a seat when talking with an adult, it's better to stand and talk when you're sitting down."

"It's fine if you're not tired."

The general untied the sword at his waist, pulled out the blade horizontally, and pointed it at me.A cold sword qi and cold light approached, and several hairs fell on my forehead.

"What do you think of my saber?"

"From this point of view, it is very sharp."

"I once served Cao Mengde, Prime Minister Cao, and led three thousand cavalry to attack the city of Xiaopei. My lord thinks that I am a general, so what?"

"I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Xu Chu, whose name is Zhongkang."

"It turned out to be General Xu! I have read your story. The fierce general under Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, devoted his life to his master, and was loyal. The Battle of Tongguan scared Ma Chao away. He dragged a hundred-jin bull by its tail and walked for hundreds of miles. His reputation spread all over Huai, Ru and Chen. The land of Liang is for loyal generals and tiger generals!"

A satisfied expression appeared on Xu Chu's face, he put the sword back into the scabbard, and continued to stand and talk like a thick wall.

"I am very happy to be remembered by future generations for the great achievements of this general. In the vast history of more than a thousand years, it is a great blessing to be recognized by future generations at a glance! Just to be able to leave a name in history, to leave a name among the shining heroes.

Today, I heard from the adults that I made my wish before I was alive, and I will make my wish after death. I promise Chu this life, it’s worth it! "

"Why did General Xu come to me today? Not just to hear the evaluation of future generations."

"Your Excellency, I am afraid that Xu's matter is a bit complicated."

"Please tell me the general, I will record it truthfully."

Xu Chu touched his beard with his left hand, and his right hand was still holding his saber tightly.

"I served the prime minister loyally during my lifetime. I cut off tens of thousands of heads, and killed countless people. Relying on my tiger spirit, monsters, ghosts, and snakes are not afraid of not getting close.

However, this life is different.

I have been going around in hell for thousands of years, and I can meet enemies wherever I go.Either the unknown pawn whose head was beheaded by me, or the soul of the dead under the knife, followed me like ghosts who wanted their lives.You can't kill me with a sword or a sword. I rushed back and then disturbed my peace.

My lord, I am not afraid.To be honest, I have never been afraid of any ghosts.Be it during life or after death, there are many people who want me to promise Chu's life.After a lifetime of military life, are you still afraid that these wandering spirits will fail? "

"Then what's bothering you?"

"Noisy! Wherever I go, there are ghosts following me, how noisy! Screaming curses in my ears, cursing me not to be reborn, cursing me to stay in hell for a thousand years. I am not afraid of these curses, and hell is nothing It’s not good, it’s just noisy, very noisy. It’s so noisy that I don’t even have time to rest for a while, and I’m about to have a headache.”

"Have you communicated with them and told them not to quarrel?"

"Of course there is. I draw my sword to chop it! I wave my sleeves to chase it away! Who knows that the ghost will linger and disturb people's dreams!"

"I mean, verbal communication, ask why they are pestering you? How do they want to leave and stop pestering you?"

"Isn't the reason obvious? I killed them, and they hated me and wanted me to pay off the debt. But what can I do to pay off the debt? Now I have no money, and I have no choice. Only this sword, which was awarded by the prime minister during his lifetime, followed me Came to hell. I have nothing but this sword. What shall I pay my debts?"

"Maybe there is no need to repay the debt, just let it go."

"How do you say it? My lord, what do you want to say?"

"At that time, there was nothing you could do about it. The confrontation between two soldiers is like this. Either you die or I live. It's useless for them to follow you, and you don't accept their tricks of cursing and intimidating. After so many years, Are you all doing similar useless work? Instead of relying on you not to go, why not find a way out by yourself?"

"Yes, sir, you have to tell them this, and they won't listen to me."

"No, you have to say it. This is between you and them, and I can't interfere."

"Then what should I say!"

"First of all, you have to make it clear to them that it is useless for them to pester you. No matter what they want from you, you can't meet their needs. Secondly, provide them with a way out, which is to let them let go of the way they treated you when they were alive. hatred, reincarnated to experience a new life.

When the soul is very attached to hatred, it becomes blind and it is difficult to learn and experience new things.To let go of your hatred is to let go of the restraints on yourself. "

"Some... makes sense."

"I have another question to ask you. After so many years, why are you still wandering around here without being reincarnated?"

"Ms. Xu is a little tired. He originally planned to rest here for a while before returning to the human world. Who knows that after thousands of years, his spirit has not been cultivated, but he is unbearably disturbed."

"If you want to rest your energy in the underworld, General Xu is really a god."

"This is not something Xu can choose. He came here as soon as he closed his eyes. Maybe it was his life. After all, he created so much karma during his lifetime, so it is not surprising that Xu came to the underworld.

Besides, Xu Mou is just a small general in Wang Yang's history, not enough to become a god, and he doesn't have the fairy fate like Guan Erye, so that's where it ends.Xu is an ordinary person!To be known by you juniors is already satisfying. "

"If General Xu sends away those karmic creditors, what will he do next?"

"Although Xu had a rough life, he was a real and emotional person. So many things happened before I was alive, and I still haven't thought about it clearly. If I didn't think clearly, Xu would never dare to start the next life at will."

"Why is this?"

"I always like to be well-prepared when doing things. Although the battlefield is ruthless and the sword has no eyes, the more I prepare, the more confident I will be in my heart. Even if someone comes to assassinate or encounter an ambush, I can deal with it freely.

Xu now feels that he is not ready yet, so he hesitates to reincarnate. "

"Not ready for what?"

Xu Chu looked down at his sword: "Xu is not ready to face life and death again."

"The general must have seen a lot of life and death before his death, right?"

"Slaughtering thousands of people is like pigs and dogs, but losing a master is like a catastrophe. I don't care about those defeated generals, but I don't want to part with the prime minister who has served for more than forty years."

"It is recorded in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that after Cao Cao died, you cried until you vomited blood."

"I didn't vomit blood at the mouth, but my vitality was seriously injured. I have seen many partings, but rarely have I been so sad."

"Why are you so sad?"

"Prime Minister Cao has the grace to know me and treat me with kindness. I committed many reckless things when I was young, and the prime minister never gave up on me. I regard the prime minister as a teacher and a father. When the prime minister died, it was like a lamp was extinguished in my heart." The lights, I can't see the light."

"That was really, really sad."

"It's been many years, and every time I think of that kind of grief, it hurts my heart. Xu knows how to kill the enemy and how to endure the knife wound, but he doesn't know how to face this kind of pain. Xu is incompetent, so late I dare not reincarnate."

"Maybe you can meet Prime Minister Cao again in the human world? After so many years, he should have become someone else in reincarnation. But if you meet each other, maybe you can recognize each other?"

"As long as there is encounter, there will be separation. Xu is unwilling to bear the pain of separation."

"But there is no separation, and there will be no reunion. Instead of starting a new opportunity, instead immersing yourself in the grief of the past for a long time, this is actually no different from those enemies who ask you for debt. Both It is because you are immersed in the pain of the past and refuse to let yourself go, and you are not willing to let others go."

"Is separation painful?" Xu Chu raised his eyes and asked me.

"The emotion of separation is complex, and pain is part of it."

"Then what else?"

"Every time the experience will be different, maybe you should explore on your own."

Xu Chu was silent, and after a while he said, "I don't want to endure the pain of separation anymore, I'd rather go round and round in hell."

"If you look at the timeline longer, maybe there is no separation or reunion. Souls are all traveling on their own, and the routes overlap occasionally, and occasionally separate. When they overlap, they seem to travel together, but In fact, the journey is still on your own.”

"I've been walking on my own for a long time now."

"Then do you want to consider changing the travel route? This one looks very hard."

"Hmm...maybe, maybe..."

At this time, various cursing and whispering voices came from around the office, Xu Chu glanced at the door in disgust: "They are following."

"It seems that the immediate priority is to solve the matter of these enemies first."

Xu Chu turned his head and cupped his hands at me: "Thank you sir, I will think carefully about your suggestion."

"Well, you go."

Xu Chu saluted me again, then turned and walked out of the gate.The moment he stepped out of the gate, Xu Chu started to run wildly.Thousands of white dead souls, long like dragons, followed Xu Chu, making disturbing noises, and rushed into the depths of hell.
