She placed the bag of candied fruits on the table, and when she lowered her head, she saw the jade pendant on the table.
She thought again about the jade pendant floating earlier.
Yunxiang didn't dare to touch it, she just glanced at it twice and then went to wait at the door.
But at this moment, Tang Mingjing came over.
"Mr. Chen, can you be in the house?" Tang Mingjing asked.
Yunxiang said: "Back to the young master, sir, he said he wanted to take a walk, so Yunxiang came back first."
"Aren't you here? I'll come back later."
Tang Mingjing was about to leave, but suddenly he looked at Yunxiang.
He paused and asked, "How long have you been in the mansion?"
Yunxiang lowered her head and replied: "It has been a year and a half since Yunxiang entered the mansion."
Tang Mingjing nodded slightly and then asked: "What do you think of Mr. Chen?"
Yunxiang didn't understand why the young master asked like this, but she still answered honestly: "Sir, he is a very nice person."
Tang Mingjing smiled and said, "I'm asking how Mr. treats you."
Yunxiang hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"Sir, he..."
"how?"
Yunxiang raised her hand and said, "Sir, he treated me very well. He also taught me how to read. I went out and bought some candied fruit before, but he didn't taste any of them. He gave them all to Yunxiang."
She lowered her head and explained: "Master, I didn't want Yunxiang at first, but my husband insisted on giving it to me, so, so..."
"Master, please punish me!"
When Tang Mingjing heard this, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "What should I punish you for?"
Yunxiang looked at the young master in confusion.
Tang Mingjing thought for a moment and asked: "If, I mean if, I asked you to follow Mr. Chen from now on, would you be willing?"
"ah?"
Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Tang Mingjing saw Yun Xiang's confused look, then smiled and said, "I'll just ask."
He did not pursue the question any further, but said, "Please remember to call me when sir comes back later. I have something to do with you."
After that, he left here.
Yunxiang stood at the door, recalling what the young master had just said.
She pursed her lips and looked a little dazed.
…
When the City God saw Chen Changsheng extinguishing the incense candle, his heart dropped.
Almost!
Just a little bit closer!
If he had really bowed down at that time, his incense and golden body would have dispersed.
The City God followed the Shangxian out of the City God's Temple.
Only then did Chen Changsheng ask: "Chen did not intend to offer incense. He came here this time to ask the City God about something."
The City God lowered his head in a respectful manner, presumably because he was afraid of this gentleman.
"If you ask me a question, the little god knows everything and will answer it."
Chen Changsheng asked directly: "After a person dies and is admitted to the underworld, after the judge writes a verdict, the soul passes away, and then to the next life, is it all handled by the underworld of the City God's Temple?"
The City God replied: "What the Immortal asked is the Great Way of Reincarnation?"
"Not bad." Chen Changsheng nodded.
The City God then explained: "Returning to the Immortal, the reincarnation of dead souls is the way of heaven. Although the City God has the power to judge, whether there will be an afterlife in the end is decided by God."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Then if you are a monk or immortal, will you return to the custody of the City God after death? If you have not entered the underworld, will there be an afterlife?"
After hearing this, the City God began to think, and then said: "Shangxian, the little god has only been in office for more than a hundred years, and the immortal has died, and the little god has never encountered it. However, according to some records in the previous records of the City God, he said:
When the immortal's lifespan ends, his body dies and his path disappears, his soul enters the sky and returns to the dust. There is no mention of reincarnation or the underworld, so the little god is not aware of this matter."
His voice changed and he added: "It should not be under the control of little gods."
Chen Changsheng murmured: "Is this so..."
The City God lowered his head and said, "Exactly."
Chen Changsheng frowned slightly and asked again: "What if the soul of an immortal comes to your door?"
"this……"
Cheng Huang was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about such a problem.
Chen Changsheng suddenly thought of a possibility and said: "As far as Chen knows, all the dead souls collected by the underworld are recorded. If Chen wants the Lord City God to help me search for a certain dead soul thousands of years ago, can you?
Can you find out?"
The City God thought for a moment and said, "Is there a specific time?"
Chen Changsheng said: "There is only a rough range, at least seven hundred years ago, and at most thirteen hundred years ago."
"so far……"
Cheng Huang felt a little unsure, but he did not dare to refuse. Instead, he said: "If there is really the person you want to find in the list, you should be able to find it, but you will have to wait for a while, after all..."
Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just wait a few days."
Chen Changsheng told him that if he found out, he would come to the Tang Mansion to find him. After the city god agreed, he immediately sent someone to check.
Chen Changsheng did not stay any longer and said goodbye to the City God before returning to the Tang Mansion.
At this time, the sky also turned completely dark.
Candles were already lit in the room. When Chen Changsheng saw Yunxiang standing at the door, he asked, "Why don't you go inside and read? What are you doing standing here?"
Yunxiang replied: "Yunxiang is waiting for Mr. to come back."
Chen Changsheng raised his hand and said, "Come in."
"yes."
Yunxiang answered, and then followed her husband into the house.
She hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, the young master came here just now and said that he wanted to see you for something. When he comes back, let Yunxiang call him."
"Is that so?" Chen Changsheng paused and said, "To avoid having to make an extra trip, Chen should go find him."
Chen Changsheng, who had just entered, turned around and went out again.
Under Yunxiang's guidance, Chen Changsheng came to the Tang Mansion's study.
At this moment, Tang Mingjing was studying. When he heard the sound coming from outside the door, he looked up.
He quickly put down what he was doing and stood up to greet him.
Tang Mingjing said: "How come Mr. Chen is here? I even said to go find Mr. Chen."
"No need to run too much." Chen Changsheng said with a warm smile.
Tang Mingjing greeted his husband and sat down.
Chen Changsheng asked: "But what happened?"
"It's Shi Yuan and the three of them."
Tang Mingjing explained: "According to my husband's instructions, I asked them to go to the City God's Temple to worship. The other two were fine after they came out, but Shi Yuan was..."
Chen Changsheng said: "The City God has always made clear rewards and punishments, but this is only for the deceased. Your classmate has probably done too many evil things, so that the City God is not willing to help him, even though he will be fine in the end."
, it’s just that he has to suffer more.”
Tang Mingjing couldn't help sighing and said: "I told him about this a long time ago, but he couldn't listen to a word. Now that he has ended up like this, no one else can blame him."
He no longer mentioned the matter, but asked: "Actually, Ming Jing came to see Mr. Ming Jing because he has something to ask for."
"Just ask." Chen Changsheng said.
"Sir, you must be proficient in the art of divination, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see the disaster in front of Mingjing that day."
Tang Mingjing continued: "To be honest, sir, Mingjing's family has been doing business for many years, but they have suffered many setbacks over the years. My father was also very worried about this, and his hair became gray. Mingjing couldn't bear to see his father worried, so
I would like to ask you for some advice, sir, and I would be very grateful."
