Chapter 499 Goodbye Nie Xiaoqian
Ning Caichen watched blankly as his friends and servants ran to the doctor in panic, and stood there at a loss.
"this……"
"The worldly relationship is over, the worldly affairs have been cleared up, it's time for Ning Caichen to leave."
Ning Caichen turned around and saw a man carrying a lantern walking out of the darkness, looking like a watchman.
The man walked out of the darkness holding a lantern. The lantern in his hand gave off a faint light in the dim night. Under this light, Ning Caichen saw the face of the visitor clearly.
"Brother Geng?!"
Ning Caichen said in surprise, but then stepped forward angrily.
"I usually do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and I am honest and upright as an official. I have been working hard for forty years. Why should I die at the age of sixty-five?"
In the carriage behind Ning Caichen, a group of people hurriedly took Ning Caichen's body out of the carriage.
Li Pu pointed at Ning Caichen's body. Ning Caichen understood what Li Pu meant, stepped forward and followed the hurried people into the mansion together.
"The couple of times you had sex with Nie Xiaoqian have already damaged your body and shortened your lifespan. If you were an ordinary person, you might not even be able to live beyond the age of forty."
Li Pu said to Ning Caichen while walking.
"But I have never married since then, and I take good care of my body every day. Coupled with the moral virtue I have accumulated, even if I cannot live to eighty, seventy should be no problem, right?"
Ning Caichen still looked angry. If he hadn't been unable to defeat Li Pu, he would have taken action long ago.
"Ah, is that so? Let me think about it."
"you!!"
Seeing Li Pu's sudden realization, Ning Caichen became even more angry. What this bastard just said was probably just made up!
"Today you can either make up a flawless reason or resurrect me!"
Ning Caichen sat down on a chair in the lobby and looked at everyone hurriedly trying to save him, using various methods. His old friend also told the doctor to save him.
Ten years ago, when the souls of Yan Chixia, Zhuge Wolong and others returned to the underworld, it was Ning Caichen who stepped forward to take on the work left behind by them.
Therefore, Ning Caichen was promoted to the Ministry of Personnel as Shangshu. You must know that the Ministry of Personnel is transferred by management officials, so officials in the Ministry of Personnel are also called Heavenly Officials by some officials.
After staying in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for five years, he was promoted by the old emperor to take charge of the Soul Palace.
It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of power. If such a person died at his doorstep, Ning Caichen's friends would break out in cold sweat.
Ning Caichen looked at the cold sweat on his old friend's head and couldn't bear it. He turned his head and snorted towards Li Pu, asking Li Pu for an explanation.
Li Pu looked troubled, rubbing his temples from time to time, as if he was thinking hard.
Seeing Li Pu's appearance, Ning Caichen was absolutely furious.
After working on it for a long time, I just wanted to go to the underworld to work on my own without any basis.
"If you don't say anything, I'm going to go crazy!"
Ning Caichen saw the doctor who was rescuing his body busy and the sad look on his friend's face, and he lost his patience.
"Hahaha, do you think this reason is okay?"
As Li Pu spoke, the lantern in his hand flashed a dark green light.
A dark green light spot flew out from Li Pu's lantern, and finally turned into a human form, standing in front of Ning Caichen.
This person was none other than Nie Xiaoqian. When Li Pu entered the underworld to clean up all the dead souls.
All the ghosts Li Pu who did evil in all places in the underworld were put into the lantern, and the only people who were not put into the lantern were the ghosts living in the six realms of reincarnation.
Most of the dead souls in other places had done many evil things while alive and were punished to suffer in the underworld. However, the ghosts in the six realms of reincarnation were good and bad. Li Pu made a careful identification before taking action.
And here, Li Pu met Nie Xiaoqian, who had been away for a long time. It took Li Pu nearly twenty years to enter the underworld, not to mention Nie Xiaoqian, who was not strong in the first place.
When Li Pu cleared the underworld, Nie Xiaoqian had just entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
When Nie Xiaoqian learned that the underworld had been cleared by Li Pu and that Li Pu had the idea of rebuilding the underworld, Nie Xiaoqian promised Li Pu to contribute to the reconstruction of the underworld.
After Ning Caichen saw Xiaoqian, his eyes instantly froze.
He didn't expect to see Xiaoqian again in this life, and scenes of the two getting along flashed before his eyes.
Ning Caichen didn't like money and sex, but he liked Nie Xiaoqian, but Xiaoqian went to the underworld to be reincarnated.
From then on, Ning Caichen had no idea of getting married, and he always missed Xiaoqian in his heart.
Unexpectedly, forty years have passed and I can see Xiaoqian again today.
Ning Caichen stared blankly at Nie Xiaoqian's appearance and murmured unconsciously.
"Xiaoqian, is that you... By the way, that painting..."
With that said, Ning Caichen was about to rush out of the lobby, but was stopped by Li Pu.
Li Pu stretched out his hand and saw something flying over from the carriage frame.
The scroll opened and it was Nie Xiaoqian's portrait.
Nie Xiaoqian looked at Ning Caichen with a smile on her face. After seeing Ning Caichen carrying this painting with her, the smile on her face became even brighter.
Tears slowly slid down from the corners of his eyes, but he didn't wipe them away. He just opened his eyes and looked at Ning Caichen, unwilling to take another look.
"it's me."
Hearing Nie Xiaoqian speak, Ning Caichen was sure that the person in front of him was the person in his memory.
Ning Caichen stepped forward slowly, wanting to wipe Nie Xiaoqian's tears with his hands, but he didn't dare. It was not until Nie Xiaoqian took his hand that Ning Caichen reached out to Xiaoqian's face and wiped Xiaoqian's tears.
"You are still so beautiful, so beautiful, and I am already an old man."
Ning Caichen wiped away the tears on Xiaoqian's face, felt Xiaoqian's white and tender skin, and couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing what Ning Caichen said, Nie Xiaoqian chuckled, pointed to the bronze mirror beside the lobby, and motioned for Ning Caichen to go and take a look.
Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and put his face close to the bronze mirror to look at it.
Looking at it, Ning Caichen realized that his appearance had returned to his youthful state at some point.
At this time, he looked like he was only in his teens, and he was a perfect match for Nie Xiaoqian.
"This...this is..."
Ning Caichen looked at Li Pu in surprise, because every night now he could see the scene of King Qin Guang judging the ghosts, so Ning Caichen knew that the appearance of the ghosts was what a person looked like when he died.
When a young man dies, his ghost's appearance will be that of a young man. If an old man dies, his ghost's appearance will be that of an old man.
"It's a small matter, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Li Pu smiled and asked Ning Caichen.
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied!"
The smile on Ning Caichen's face was very bright, and regardless of Li Pu's presence, he took Xiaoqian's hand and expressed his sincere feelings to each other.
Xiaoqian was calmer and took Ning Caichen out of the lobby to talk in the yard.
Chapter completed!
