Chapter 71 Parents
Of course, it is said that it is a village, but it is just a simple house made of underworld grass and dead trees of underworld. There is a house here and there, and it is a mess. It can barely be regarded as a settlement.
In order not to lose their humanity in the dark land of the underworld, the ghosts in the village retained some of the habits they had when they were alive. This is also the reason why the small village can survive.
The "villagers" did not participate in the disputes outside, but relied on the incense provided by their relatives in the world to survive. They also tried to farm to pass the boring and unbearable life.
But after all, it is not as good as the spiritual realm, the divine realm, the Dragon Court and other treasures. When the incense spreads to this underworld, only a small amount will be left. After so many years, Zhou Bai's parents are almost exhausted.
Like other villagers, he sits at the door of his hut every day, looking at the dark world of the underworld.
Fortunately, the two elders passed away at about the same time, so we can still depend on each other here. Even if we wait for the time for our souls to wither, there will not be no light at all.
"Father, mother!" Zhou Bai's voice was trembling, and all his complex and admiring emotions were poured into this call.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou almost thought they were hallucinating. Their son was only fifteen, so why did he come to the underworld?
Zhou's mother was so sad that she couldn't accept it for a moment, so she sobbed and cried bitterly.
And because he was too weak, he couldn't stand up and face Zhou Bai's call.
Only Zhou's father, as a scholar, had always had some aura in his soul, so he could come forward.
"Bai'er, we are sorry for you." Zhou's father and Zhou's mother had the same idea, they both thought Zhou Bai was dead.
Also, they died too early, and any accident might happen to the children without anyone to take care of them.
Seeing the two elders acting like this, Zhou Bai quickly explained and comforted them before letting them calm down.
"But Bai'er, you clearly don't have the qualifications to practice Taoism, why can you come down to the underworld?" Zhou's father had some insight and asked.
Zhou Bai smiled, cupped his hands towards the open space not far away from him and said, "Sir, if you don't come out yet, we will have to rely on you for our family to be reunited again."
Suddenly, a god-man shrouded in red light suddenly appeared in the open space. This was none other than Pingcang City God.
Father Zhou was shocked. Even if he was hiding in this remote village, he knew that in addition to ghosts, there were noble and majestic gods who controlled everything in the underworld.
He quickly pulled Zhou Bai to kneel down, and Zhou's mother also struggled to get up, for fear of offending the gods and preventing her son from returning to the world.
"Two fellow villagers, please don't be too polite. Zhou Xiaoyou and I have been friends for many years. If you kneel down to me, then he may not know how to kill me behind his back." The city god gently raised his hand, and a pure spiritual power stopped Zhou's father and Zhou's mother.
, and pour it into their bodies.
For the withered souls, the city god's divine power was like a sweet spring, allowing the two elders to gush out with strength again.
It's just that they stayed in the underworld for too long and could not immediately return to the state of their souls when they died.
The two elders suddenly thought, what happened? Could it be that the world has changed drastically in the past few years, and their son can actually communicate with the City God on an equal footing?
Zhou Baijiang and others were doubtful and could only signal the city god to come aside to communicate with him: "What should we do next? I hold the title of Yunqi Lieutenant and can protect someone in the spiritual realm. Should I separate my parents?"
"There is a system for the imperial examination. If you pass the imperial examination, you can erect an archway. This will be the lintel of the glorious family. At that time, you can protect the two of them in the family spiritual realm." The city god pondered for a moment and said.
Zhou Bai naturally disagreed and shook his head: "It's too late. The two elders are suffering in the underworld. How can I concentrate on the imperial examination."
The City God then continued: "Then I will protect your mother first, and then the Zhou family behind you will be promoted. When the time comes, I will use my privileges to take your father into the spiritual realm."
"After all, he has a bit of scholarly talent and can persist for a long time. Plus I can take care of him, so he won't suffer too much."
Zhou Bai glanced at his parents who were just leaning against each other behind him, and still shook his head and said: "They have been dependent on each other for life and death for so many years, and they would not be willing to be separated for a moment. Has the god already thought about what to do?"
"I'm temporarily staying in the City God's Domain, and I can also recuperate the souls of the two elders. Ahem, I don't want to hold you hostage, otherwise I would have told you earlier." The majestic and rough face of the City God suddenly became serious, obviously he really didn't want Zhou Bai to let him go.
Misunderstand.
"Well, that's a good idea. It's not safe to stay in Hades anyway."
If the City God mentioned Zhou Bai to the Divine Realm from the beginning without understanding Zhou Bai as a person, then he might really be a little suspicious of his intentions.
But now Zhou Bai agreed without hesitation and informed his parents who were still unable to calm down.
They will temporarily stay in the divine realm. When his son is named on the gold medal list next year, he will definitely welcome them into the family spiritual realm, and they may even earn a title and come back.
After a while, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother said goodbye to the other ghosts in the village, and then left the underworld in the form of rainbow light under the envious eyes of everyone.
The ghosts sighed, what kind of blessing could they give birth to such an outstanding son? Not only did they not need their blessing, but they had given them a hand early.
…
In the back hall of the shrine, the city god set aside a small, elegant and remote courtyard for Zhou's father and mother, allowing them to slowly recover here.
After Zhou Bai said goodbye to his parents, he stood at the exit of the Divine Realm and bowed deeply to the City God: "I appreciate it."
The City God turned his body sideways and did not accept the gift: "Don't think you owe me anything. The City God's Sensing Sutra is very powerful. It can connect to the underworld. Even if I leave the Yang world in the future, the situation yesterday will not happen again."
"I will instruct Miao Zhu to set up memorial tablets for the two village elders in the side hall."
"The rooster will crow soon. The ghost's body is most afraid of the yang energy of the day. Go back and come back to worship when you have time."
Finally, it was the night wandering god from before. Seeing the city god's courtesy, he became even more unconfident towards Zhou Bai and escorted Zhou Bai away with a mirror in his hands with utmost respect.
While returning all the way, he looked at Zhou Bai from time to time to see where he came from, and why he and the City God became "brothers and brothers" in one night, and even his parents had to come to the God's Domain to support him.
Live peacefully at the door.
The Night Travel God bowed and reminded Zhou Bai in a low voice: "The City God said that because you have eaten too much spiritual food, you may need to digest it well in the past few days. There are no other problems."
At this moment, the first rooster crow sounded in the city. Zhou Bai felt that the environment outside suddenly became much hotter, and the talisman in his hand gave out a slightly cool reminder.
Yeyoushen also knew that it was getting late, and his face looked a little anxious.
Zhou Bai nodded and said: "Well, I remember your honor. If you need any help in the future, you can find me at the Zhou family in Hongni Township."
"After the rooster crows, the yang energy gradually rises. You should return to the physical body as soon as possible. The little god only has the duty of the night wandering priest, so he has to rush back to the divine realm to do the dance." The night wandering god's face was happy, but he still urged.
Without further delay, under the bright light of the Dharma Mirror, Zhou Bai's soul floated gently over Yueyun. She was so exhausted that she leaned against the bedside to guard her, half asleep and half awake.
The last gust of night wind blew outside, and the ghosts and gods disappeared. The waning moon disappeared in the sky, leaving only a few morning stars.
"I'm back. Is God's Domain fun?"
"Well, there is also a spiritual banquet, but we can't take it away. You need to sleep for a while and I'll talk to you when I wake up."
