Chapter 287 Previous Life
At this time, Yu Ning sneezed several times in a row.
I guess A Zheng is cursing at this moment.
Thinking of him cursing, Yu Ning's brows relaxed slightly, and she felt a little warm in her heart.
People's habits really change because of their preferences.
Before she met A Zheng, she hated people who swore the most, regardless of whether they were men or women. She hated them equally.
But after getting to know him, I gradually got used to the "national quintessence" he occasionally blurted out.
I even picked up his habit and said a few words when I was in a manic mood.
When two people are together for a long time, they will pick up each other's habits.
A few days ago, she saw A Zheng taking a nap with a copy of the Tao Te Ching in his arms when he was free, and she didn't know how many words he had read.
In the dark environment, a small hole suddenly opened above, and Xiaofang's nervous voice came from above.
"Master Ning, I passed the land temple successfully. In front of me is the Ghost Gate. After passing the Ghost Gate, we will enter the Yellow Spring Road, which means we have officially entered the underworld. So, will the master really not kill me after I come back?"
"He won't touch you as long as I'm here. Don't open your pockets again, or you'll be exposed." Yu Ning warned.
The little mouth closed and her world fell into darkness again.
This is what she came up with.
Use the soul-collecting bag of the Night Wandering God to sneak into the underworld.
Xiaofang's current cultivation level is enough to qualify her for the examination for the underworld. As long as Xiaofang takes her in, she will wait for an opportunity to slip away and find someone who can help her solve her doubts.
After she finds the answer she wants, she will let Xiaofang take her away without anyone noticing.
As for Xiaofang, it is easy for her to get out of this situation. She still has a contract with Yu Ning. Even if she passes the assessment, she will not pass the political review.
Because Xiaofang is not a free person at all - Yu Ning doesn't know whether the identity check below is called political review, but that's the meaning anyway.
At most they would be reprimanded, but it would not constitute the crime of disturbing the underworld, and they would be sent back.
Yu Ning only dared to come down after making sure that her plan was foolproof and the risks were minimal.
The reason why Lin Zheng was not brought along was because once his soul left his body, he would have a divine light on him, which would be too conspicuous and easy to be exposed.
Even if he lost his temper, Yu Ning was not afraid. A Zheng always said the harshest words and used the lightest hand towards her. This had not changed since he was a cat.
At worst, she could just stay in bed with him for another three days and two nights, and she could ask her third senior brother to lend her some medicine to replenish her energy. It wouldn't be a big problem.
The premise is that she is still alive after three days.
Yu Ning calmed down, closed his eyes, meditated, and counted in his mind.
From one to one thousand, nothing happens, everything is quiet.
It seems that Xiaofang has successfully passed the ghost gate and officially arrived underground.
The underworld is divided into twenty layers, starting from the land temple, entering the Ghost Gate, stepping onto the Yellow Springs Road, and arriving at the Wangxiangtai, followed by the Three Lives Stone, Evil Dog Ridge, Golden Rooster Mountain, Wild Ghost Village, the Hall of Bewilderment, and Fengdu Ghost City.
Further ahead is the Palace of Yama and hell, which is not what Ning considered on this trip.
Yu Ning checked another thousand numbers, opened her pockets, adjusted the gloomy wooden bell at her waist, and let it float out.
The world before my eyes was foggy, like a sky filled with sandstorms. There were many souls floating around, and some ghost officials standing by to watch over them. Everything was in good order.
These evil spirits did not notice the extra Yu Ning because of the magical bell that Yu Ning was wearing.
This magic bell instrument is Yu Ning’s second layer of insurance besides Xiaofang.
It can block the sight of all Yincha whose cultivation level is lower than Yu Ning, so they cannot see Yu Ning.
But this magic weapon is not infallible. Once it encounters a ghost or evil spirit with a higher level than Yu Ning, it will betray its master. Yu Ning is not sure what level the ghosts are. After all, some of them have been serving for thousands of years, and there must be many who are higher than her.
The reason why she took the risk was the big rock standing in front of her.
The fourth stop in the underworld is the Three Lives Stone.
The Three Lives Stone records three lives.
Standing in front of this stone, one can see one's past and present life. People with magical powers like Yu Ning can even check other people's three lives.
She risked her life to come out here just to check out Amber's afterlife. If he had an afterlife, Yu Ning would turn back immediately and there would be no need for the subsequent adventures.
The Hu family is the most powerful family of spirit mediums in the north, and has been at the top of the list for generations.
But just like the old money family, the Lin family.
Behind the gift bestowed by fate is a clear price.
The Lin family's generations of wealth were gained by sacrificing the lives and fortunes of all the female babies in the family.
The power of Amber's family came at the cost of the head of the family breaking the reincarnation cycle.
Every few generations, a powerful immortal would come to their family, and the child chosen by the immortal would be the next head of the family.
Even if the head of this family has mediocre qualifications, he will protect his family under the protection of the immortals.
But at the same time, the head of the family loses the right to reincarnate, and his life span will not exceed 30 years.
After death, the soul will return to the immortal realm and have to work for them, with no chance of reincarnation.
The immortals will also select potential family heads. Not every family head will be selected. Amber’s previous generations had never been selected, and those who were not selected could live to old age.
Therefore, Yu Ning and the others did not know that the Hu family had this saying, and Lou You discovered the Hu family's secret by chance.
When it came to Amber's generation, there was a genetic mutation, and his talent made everyone in the circle tremble. If Yu Ning did not have a special physique from eating the fruit, if only considering her personal cultivation talent, she might not be as strong as Amber.
Amber really didn't rely on any external tools, but purely on his own practice to get to where he is now. It's no exaggeration to say that he is a rare genius.
It was just that fate played a cruel joke on him.
With such talent, he was born into a cursed family. From the moment he was born, his life was destined to enter a countdown state.
However, Amber's situation is also very special. His personal talent is so good that the cultivation of the eighth grandmother who came from the immortal family is not even as good as his. He is the only one in the Hu family who has such an inverted ability.
In addition, Grandma Eight got along very well with him and they had a certain emotional foundation, so she was willing to give him some slack within the scope permitted by the rules.
Although she cannot decide how long Amber will live, the immortals will not stop her if her soul follows a more powerful practitioner after her death.
But there is definitely no reincarnation.
This is the rule, the unbreakable destiny.
Master Leng Wen knew the secret of the Hu family, so he looked for Amber several times, just to make Amber sign a military contract with him and make Amber his soldier.
Compared to being a soulless and thoughtless errand boy for the immortals, being a soldier of the Great Heavenly Master seems more respectable. If Leng Wen ascends to heaven in the future, Amber can also be included in the ghost immortal system.
But neither Yu Ning nor Lou You accepted such an outcome.
With his strength, he shouldn't have been treated so unfairly. If he hadn't been born in such a family, he would have had a better future.
Yu Ning doesn’t believe that the third brother is so good that he has no afterlife.
The souls standing in front of the Three Lives Stone have all arranged for the underworld to see their past and present lives, with the main focus being on their next life.
Yu Ning quickly formed a seal and silently recited Amber's name. A series of images slowly appeared on the stone.
