Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 225 Ghost life is difficult
After Xiaoyue talked with Zhao Xuerong, she finally understood why she was unwilling to say how she died.

Such a grown man died in such a confused state.

She said that her devoted husband, after her death, spent his days drinking and partying, bringing a different woman home every day...

She said that her best friend, when talking about her with her friends, was full of disdain, saying that she was selfish and loved to show off, and slandered her...

……

My colleagues at school, with whom I have a normal relationship, always protect me. Sigh...

Xiaoyue felt a little confused when she heard her say this. After all, she was still a minor and had no idea about the complexity of adults.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"I just want to figure out how I died." Zhao Xuerong said.

"Then I'll go ask my brother if he can help you." Xiaoyue said.

"elder brother?"

This word reminded her of what Doudou said yesterday.

"Is it that Sweet Potato brother?" Zhao Xuerong asked tentatively.

As soon as she said this, Xiaoyue knew who she heard it from.

Except Doudou, no one would call Shen Siyuan sweet potato.

"Have you seen Doudou?"

Zhao Xuerong nodded, "Not long after you left, I saw her again."

"What did she tell you?"

"She didn't say anything. She just said that you were reading at Brother Sweet Potato's house and didn't read everything to her, which was not like her. Just when I was about to ask her in detail, she turned into a gust of cold wind and flew away in a hurry..."

Xiaoyue was very unhappy when she heard that, and decided to spank her when she saw her again.

However, he just thought about it briefly in his mind and saw Zhao Xuerong standing beside him with a curious look on her face.

So he replied: "My brother's surname is Shen, you can call him Mr. Shen. We can fly and appear, these are abilities given to us by Mr. Shen."

Zhao Xuerong was surprised when she heard this. She swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously, "Is Mr. Shen a ghost like us?"

"Of course not." Xiaoyue said with a hint of displeasure.

"Don't be angry, I just asked casually. Then...is Mr. Shen a god?" Zhao Xuerong continued to ask.

Xiaoyue thought about it, then nodded slowly.

When Zhao Xuerong heard this, her eyes widened and she looked extremely excited.

"It turns out that there really are gods in this world."

"There are ghosts in this world, so why can't there be gods?" Xiaoyue retorted.

"You are right, but why is there no ghost messenger to pick me up? There are ghosts everywhere. Shouldn't we return to the underworld and rebirth?" Zhao Xuerong was a little confused.

As soon as she finished her words, the soul-catching rope appeared around Xiaoyue, like a spirit snake, circling up and down and left and right.

Zhao Xuerong widened her eyes, curious but also a little afraid.

"So you are a ghost messenger? Are you here to take me away?" Zhao Xuerong asked tentatively.

"You can think of it that way." Xiaoyue didn't explain much.

"Then you want to take me to the underworld?"

"No, I'll take you to see Mr. Shen first."

Xiaoyue said this, turned around and left, and Zhao Xuerong hurriedly followed.

After walking for a while, Xiaoyue suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xuerong asked puzzledly.

"Do you know how to get to Haichao Community?" Xiaoyue asked.

Zhao Xuerong shook her head.

"What about the Yindu Building?" Xiaoyue asked again.

"I know that."

"Then let's go to Yindu Building." Xiaoyue signaled Zhao Xuerong to lead the way.

"You don't know the way?" Zhao Xuerong asked in surprise.

"Because I'm always flying in the sky, all I have to do is to see the direction clearly." Xiaoyue said as a matter of course.

"Ok."

Zhao Xuerong felt that this made some sense, so she led the way in front and Xiaoyue followed quietly behind her.

"Can you tell me about Mr. Shen? What kind of person is he? What kind of god is he?" "How did you know him? And that Doudou from yesterday, she was so cute, how could she die at such a young age?"

"Mr. Shen, is he really willing to help me?"

……

Seeing that Xiaoyue didn't answer any of his words.

Zhao Xuerong said somewhat embarrassedly: "Have I said too much?"

Xiaoyue nodded silently.

Zhao Xuerong opened her mouth and wanted to say, "You will have no friends if you are so straightforward."

He wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere, but suddenly he remembered Xiaoyue's experience and swallowed his words back.

So they both fell silent and walked forward in silence, and slowly the atmosphere became a little weird.

"Um..." Xiaoyue broke the silence first.

"what?"

"If you die, will your parents be sad?" Xiaoyue asked.

It’s better not to say anything.

Zhao Xuerong sighed deeply after hearing this: "Of course I'm sad, but what can I do? And my brother..."

The two siblings had a very good relationship since childhood. The one who was most saddened by Zhao Xuerong's sudden death was her brother.

The younger brother, who was originally cheerful and playful, became gloomy.

"Oh."

Xiaoyue just picked a random topic. In fact, she didn't care no matter how Zhao Xuerong answered.

She thought that Zhao Xuerong would continue what she said just now, but she didn't expect Zhao Xuerong to become even more silent.

The silence was broken until the two were disturbed by a half-human ghost and were knocked away by Xiaoyue with a chain.

The two encountered many dead people along the way.

Except for a small number who retain their appearance as they did in life, most are ghosts who are aroused by karma and whose desires are manifested.

Those whose karma is not deep can still maintain a certain human form and have clear logical thinking.

Those with deep karma have been completely overwhelmed by desires and cannot even maintain their human form. Only some instincts remain and they wander around.

However, all the ghosts seemed like headless flies, with no purpose, no goal, and no place to go, just wandering aimlessly in this world.

"Why are they like this?" Zhao Xuerong asked the question in her mind.

This time, Xiaoyue did not remain silent, but patiently explained to her.

"So, I am a good person?" Zhao Xuerong seemed a little happy after knowing the reason.

"Yeah." Xiaoyue nodded slightly.

"So, Mr. Shen will definitely help me, right?" Zhao Xuerong continued.

"Yeah." Xiaoyue nodded again.

"Thank you." Zhao Xuerong expressed her sincere gratitude to Xiaoyue.

"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know where to go. No one could see me, and I would wander around all day, hiding from the living and from these ghosts with explicit desires..."

"They look scary. I was almost caught by them several times. Fortunately, they are not fast and have no consciousness..."

"It doesn't matter if they catch us. They just look scary. They can't hurt us. But we can't let them stick to us forever. We have to get rid of them in time, because we will be infected by their desires, invaded, and finally assimilated, and finally become like them..."

"That said, there is still some danger."

"It's a long time, just get rid of it in time."

"Have you ever been caught by them?"

"Yes." Xiaoyue said.

This is not a good memory. She has just become a ghost and is still ignorant of everything.

So she accidentally got entangled by a ghost that was indulged in desire. Xiaoyue couldn't get rid of it no matter what she did. In panic, she subconsciously asked a passerby for help.

When she got closer, the three fires on the pedestrian's shoulders suddenly exploded, and the ghost on his body was burned and screamed miserably. The ghost's body became ethereal and almost disappeared. Xiaoyue then escaped.

"So if you are really entangled, find a living person to get close to as soon as possible, but be careful not to hurt yourself..."

Xiaoyue taught her the experience of being a ghost.

Of course, she no longer needs to use all this experience now. She is no longer afraid of the three fires of living people, nor is she afraid of these ghosts with manifested desires. She no longer has any concerns when doing things.

PS: I finished it late yesterday. I am old and can’t stand staying up late. I will update the remaining two chapters in the afternoon, and add one more chapter, making a total of three chapters.
