Wang Qiyi's eyes widened and he grinned, really not knowing what expression to show.
After all, as the old saying goes: Don't call a cripple in front of a cripple, and don't call a short in front of a skinny person.
Li Yanan does belong to a special profession, but it is a bit more special. It feels difficult to comment. Fortunately, he is just a bastard and can pretend to be stupid. So he stretched out his paws to scratch his plastron, crossed his legs, and listened quietly.
Li Yanan didn't want him to express any opinions, so he paused for a few seconds and continued: "Then, he bought a house in the county with the money earned by his two daughters, and built the house in the village into a three-story villa. He brought He is taking his daughter to make money in a big city; his wife is taking her youngest son to study in the county town, hoping to support a college student."
"His son inherited his clever tongue, but his academic performance was not very good. The capable man changed the plan and sent his son to join the army and spent a lot of money to get information. Later, his son followed his instructions and aimed at the target and chased him. The daughter of a leader.”
"They required that when getting married, the woman would buy a car and house with all the money, and the eldest child would have to bear the woman's surname. He asked all the sons to be accepted, and said that anyway, men are capable and can have as many children as they want outside. You may not really have any descendants, so what are you afraid of? Leaving the countryside and climbing high branches for a long time is the most important thing."
"He used the money earned by his two daughters to buy a garage for his son to settle in a big city. Not only did he successfully settle in, but he also became a family member. At that time, his two daughters were already quite old. He no longer allowed them to receive guests, but a One was sent to a third-tier city in the north and the other was sent to a fourth-tier town in the east. They each bought a house, a car, opened a store, and transformed themselves into strong women."
"In a few years, the eldest daughter married a man who owned three factories in the family; the second daughter married a civil servant. They all came from among men. They were very good at taking care of their husbands and parents-in-law, and they lived a prosperous life. Then There was no Internet at that time, and it was even less likely to be exposed. The family went back to the village to celebrate the New Year, and the eyes of the villagers who were so envious of having money and power were all red."
"My parents wanted to copy their family's successful template. They asked me to drop out of school in the second grade of junior high school to study drama and then sent me to a big city in the south. My dad personally watched over me to prevent me from getting wild and running away, but he couldn't find any clients. It allows me to hang out in bars and nightclubs.”
"Then I met Xiao Zong. He was really a very good person."
"I have never celebrated my birthday since I was a child, but Xiao Zong would buy me birthday cakes. Knowing that I like fireworks, he bought a truck and went to the suburbs to set them off most of the night. I like him, but I also know that I don't deserve it, and I have never thought about it. What……"
She was immersed in recalling the short past of her life, and Wang Qiyi was surprised to find: a shining point of light floated up from Li Yanan's body, mixed with stars and floated in the mist.
It turns out that these light spots are the memories left by people when they crossed the Nai River and finished the last part of the journey!
He thought so, looking up at the countless light spots in the light mist, how many souls had to cross this river to go to the next life, and the last trace they left behind turned out to be a landscape.
"I never thought that I would die so young." Li Yanan looked at the other side that he could vaguely see, squeezed out a smile and said softly: "I always thought that when I get rich, I won't wait until my parents get old. If you control me, you will still have the opportunity to put on the clothes you took off one by one. Now that I think about it, death seems not a bad thing. No matter what I do in my next life, I just hope that I can be clean and upright."
After hearing that she was "controlled", Wang Qiyi felt a little panicked when she thought about what the captain said about the Li family wanting to use her body to make money again.
It is undeniable that there are many smart people who can get rid of bad native families; but more people are fettered, and even if they are separated, they will still be connected. What's more, there are still many people who have been brainwashed since childhood, received a narrow education, and have no independent thoughts. They even have a weak ability to distinguish right from wrong.
"You said, if I do those bad things, I will be skinned and scraped to remove the dirt in the underworld?" Li Yanan looked at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes, as if he believed that a bastard could give the answer.
He turned around and asked the captain for help.
But there seemed to be some turmoil in the Naihe River, and the other party was busy rowing the boat and had no energy to respond.
Scratching his belly armor with his claws, Wang Qiyi considered the words and said: "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Your situation is more complicated and involves being forced by your parents. I don't think it will be difficult for you if you go to hell to settle the good and evil."
"Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded..." After receiving some comfort, she smiled helplessly: "It would be great if there was really retribution in this life. Then you can comfort yourself: If you die at a young age, you will use your remaining life to pay off your debt. I will be clean and owe nothing to anyone in my next life."
The sound of the pole's paddling stopped, and Qingfeng's soft voice said: "Girl Ya'nan, it's your turn to walk the rest of the way."
After getting up and looking around for the last time at Naihe, Li Yanan thanked the two of them again and set off on the road to hell alone, and his swaying figure soon disappeared.
Wang Qiyi watched as a faint light fell from the sky and landed on the captain.
"The power of merit?!" He raised his neck excitedly and asked, "Soul guides can earn merit by sending souls across the river?"
Qingfeng put down the pole and did not return immediately. Instead, he sat down in the boat and nodded: "The requirements for professional soul guides are relatively high, and the early returns are relatively small. After all, the power of merit must be accumulated to a certain level to have obvious effects. So. Some monks like me will learn a little bit about it, and occasionally they will take on the role of soul guide to earn some merit when going on missions."
"A professional soul guide needs to start from the lowest level of collecting corpses. He must be able to sew up corpses and summon souls, and he must be able to subdue resentful souls, resentful spirits, evil spirits, etc. on his own. After surrender, he must safely send his soul across the river. Consider it a success.”
Pointing to the depths of the mist, Qingfeng explained: "Ordinary people do not need soul guides to send them away after they die. They will cross the Naihe River on their own from the Naihe Bridge. The Li Yanan we sent today has not committed any murders, and he is young and thinking. It’s not bad, it’s relatively easy.”
"If the soul sent has a bad conscience, it will be difficult to row the boat. It will be even more difficult to cause murder. The soul guide has to use the boat carefully and escort as much as possible, and the soul lamp cannot be extinguished. Regardless of whether it is a soul. Whether the lamp goes out or the spirit falls into the river, there is no way to save it. You will never be reincarnated and become one of them."
Wang Qiyi dug at the hull of the boat with his claws, carefully stretched his neck and looked down.
The hands under the water swayed with the water waves, a bit like a scary version of water plants.
"They look very peaceful now. Once a soul falls into the water, the scene will be terrifying." Qingfeng handed over the pole, "Do you want to try punting?"
Holding the pole tightly with his paws, he was surprised to find that it was much lighter than he thought.
"This pole needs spirituality to support it." Qingfeng looked delighted when he saw this, and explained: "The stronger the spirituality, the easier it is to support the boat, the greater the spiritual weight that can be transported, and the more stable the boat will be."
Be a soul guide?
Wang Qiyi fiddled with the pole with his paws and rowed the boat easily, curling his lips reluctantly.
The main reason is that the work of the soul guide is too cumbersome. Normal ghosts do not need to cross the Nai River; those who need to cross the Nai River do not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
Think about it, you have to be reasonable first; if you fail to do so, you have to beat someone until you are able to reason, and you might even get hurt in the process of "persuading people with reason." After everything is done, you have to punt the other party across the river, and you have to protect them along the way, and finally you can calculate the power of merit.
How could it be better than lying in the wishing pool and getting passive +1 every day?
Sigh... Or maybe this is life!
I can't stop being a tortoise after traveling through time. If I don't get into trouble, I don't want to become a tongue-tied tortoise; if I don't care about my parents and want to go back in time, I won't be running around with my tortoise shell on my back, and I still have to worry about choosing a career. What a headache!
