I stood by the Sansheng Stone and looked at everything in the past. Everything seemed to be just a dream.
Now Ma Xiaolan is gone, Gongsun Gongzi is gone, Long Feifan is gone, everyone is gone.
But I was still left in the underworld by the King of Hell. I wandered around in the underworld on weekdays. All the past disappeared like clouds and smoke, and my heavy heart began to gradually become empty.
Shangguan Tianqing walked up to me wearing black clothes. He was still doing his job as Hei Wuchang, but the position of his companion Bai Wuchang had been vacant for a year.
"Go to the Hall of the King of Hell, the Lord of Hell is looking for you." Shangguan Tianqing stood beside me and said.
"Time flies so fast. One year has passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how people are doing after reincarnation." I said as I walked behind Shangguan Tianqing.
"Who knows about the reincarnation of cause and effect? They are the only ones who know." Shangguan Tianqing said calmly, "I have to leave today too."
"Your term is up?" I glanced at Shangguan Tianqing in surprise. If nothing unexpected happened, the term should be calculated in thousands of years.
"Originally, I haven't arrived yet, but because of what happened last year, many things have changed, so now it's my turn to leave. After I leave, there will be other people to take my place," Shangguan Tianqing said.
.
I nodded and remained silent.
After a while, we were already standing in front of the Hall of the King of Hell. The Lord of Hell stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his hands and looked up at the gold lettering on the hall. The four big characters of Justice and Integrity were hung on it shining brightly.
"Prince of Hell, I have received the man." Shangguan Tianqing said to Prince of Hell.
"You can go when you arrive. You also know the process of reincarnation, so go on your own!" Lord Yama turned around and looked at Hei Wuchang and said.
"What about the handover?" Shangguan Tianqing was a little confused.
"Someone will take care of it, so don't worry."
"Okay, I'm leaving." Shangguan Tianqing said, turning around and looking at me, and nodded.
Lord Yama slowly walked up to me and said, "It's almost time. My term of office is over and it's time to leave. This position of Lord Yama will be handed over to you from now on."
I frowned and looked at Lord Yama: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Have I ever told a lie..." Lord Yama said calmly.
After all, I never thought that I stayed in the underworld for a year really to take over the position of Lord Yama. Lord Yama told me several times, but every time I thought it was Lord Yama joking with me, so I didn't take it seriously.
Lord Yama said that I was supposed to take over the position of Lord Yama last year, but seeing that my mood had not calmed down, he stayed for one more year and dealt with some things. Now he knows that I have almost calmed down, so he will
The position was returned to me.
I smiled bitterly and said, Lord Hell is not an easy job.
"No one can tell whether it is good or bad, but it is a good thing for me. Maybe you think it is not a good thing now. When your term is over, you will experience a lot. Don't make a conclusion too early. As a human being,
Being a ghost and being the Lord of Hell is just a reincarnation after all. After it is over, forget it, go back to the beginning, and start again." said the Lord of Hell.
I nodded thoughtfully, and I could see that Lord Yama had seen a lot.
Lord Yama said he wanted to give me a gift, then he went into his room and came out with a baby girl in his arms.
I looked at the baby in the hands of Lord Yama in surprise, "This..."
"It's your daughter. I know that you have always felt sorry for your daughter. I used a little spiritual power. Fortunately, she also has the blood of the dragon clan in her body. Although she cannot become an adult, she can still be a ghost in the underworld. When she is eighteen years old
, then you can be reincarnated, and you can still be a human being in the future." Lord Yama put the baby girl into my arms.
The baby girl was very cute. She giggled when she saw me, stretched out her little hand and grabbed my collar.
I always thought that my child would be wiped out before she was born, but I didn’t know that the Lord of Hell had the heart to save her.
"Thank you." I didn't know what to say, so I just said these two words.
"I want to thank you." Lord Yama said meaningfully, "Prince of Hell, this position is not so easy to sit in. Remember to sit tight, everything here is left to you! I'm leaving!"
"Are you going to be reincarnated?" I asked.
"No! Go where she is and stay with her." Prince Yama said with a smile, and then the red clothes fluttered and the person disappeared.
And when I turned around, I was already wearing that bright red dress.
The bull-headed horse-faced man walked in from outside the door. When he saw me, he was just stunned for a moment, and then said: "Prince of Hell, Black and White Wuchang has come to report."
"It's so quick, let them go to Hualin." I shook the baby in my hand and said.
"Yes." The bull-headed and horse-faced man walked away respectfully.
I took my child and went to the flower forest full of Bibi flowers.
The pavilion where I met Lord Yama is still there, and the flowers of the other shore are still blooming regardless of the four seasons. The vast red scenery is so beautiful.
I sat on the stone bench inside the pavilion, waiting for my new subordinate. There was always an intuition telling me that the person I met again would be an acquaintance.
"Why am I wearing white and you are wearing black! Let's change clothes!" A voice came from the path, and it was strangely familiar.
When I turned my head, what I saw was Mr. Gongsun talking excitedly to Long Feifan, while Long Feifan had an expressionless face.
"Hey, long time no see!" When Mr. Gongsun saw me, he rushed to me and patted my shoulder.
"It seems that you have known this for a long time? But didn't you go to reincarnation?" I asked, looking at the two people in front of me.
"It's not interesting to be reincarnated, so I submitted an application to the Lord of Hell to be your right-hand man. How about it, brothers, are you loyal enough?" Mr. Gongsun patted me on the shoulder again.
"Ah, where did this child come from!" Mr. Gongsun was frightened and stepped back.
"Why don't you want to recognize your goddaughter?" I shook the child in my hand and said.
"Fuck, goddaughter? Ah! Is it the child that the Lord of Hell said? Come on, show me to your godfather. Wow, she is so beautiful. She will be a great beauty when she grows up!" Young Master Gongsun pinched his fingers excitedly.
My daughter's face.
Long Feifan couldn't stand it any longer and lifted Mr. Gongsun away, "Don't pinch her with your dirty hands!"
"Hey, what's dirty? It's very clean, okay!" Young Master Gongsun yelled.
Then my daughter started crying even harder, as if she was protesting against Mr. Gongsun’s roaring and screaming.
Just like this, along with the baby's cry, several of us finally started laughing.
Long Feifan said: "This is good."
"Yes, that's it." Mr. Gongsun said beside him.
I hugged my daughter and smiled. I thought Ma Xiaolan would be happy for me if she knew my current life, but I didn't expect that I would be the one to raise the child in the end.
Looking around, the flowers on the other side are still blooming so brilliantly, and I vaguely seem to see Ma Xiaolan standing among the flowers on the other side, smiling and waving to me.
Finally, everything has settled, and the final outcome is something we dare not think about, but we will experience it after all.
In such a season, we die and are reborn and live another life.
