"Is this a heavenly artifact?"
"Um."
"It shouldn't be..." There was doubt in Po Meng's hoarse voice. Some heaven-level artifacts do follow the owner's soul, but there is no such thing as protecting the memory.
"Look at these ghosts, I'll go find the King of Hell." Po Meng said to the ghosts next to her.
Chen Shi calmed down and let Po Meng take him away. He thought that if the King of Hell had a way, it would be okay to give it to him day and night.
Although it was a bit strange to say this, since Chen Shi was dead, he didn't want to live anymore.
There are two forms of human existence, one is in the sense of life, that is, life and death, and the other has a higher meaning, that is, understanding who one is.
If we want to prove "alive" in the latter sense, we can only know the world and ourselves through memory. We know the world and ourselves from the past.
Although the theory of reincarnation exists, and each soul may be unique, no matter what, if you lose the memory that belongs to Chen Shi, you will no longer be Chen Shi, or in other words, everything you have as Chen Shi should be over. , both pain and pleasure become blank, naturally including day and night.
Along the way, Chen Shi thought silently, and for the first time he experienced the beauty of accepting fate. He used to live like a mountain, heavy and heavy, but now he is like the wind, very light.
In the Yama Hall, Chen Shi looked at the two people sitting on the Lord's seat, a little surprised.
Except for the beard on the left, these two people are almost carved out of the same mold. I have only heard of "brothers in war, father and son in battle." But I didn't know that officials can also be in pairs. The underworld and the underworld are really big. different.
Chen Shi was lost in thought and didn't listen to what Po Meng and the King of Hell were talking about. It was only after the bearded King of Hell spoke that he came back to his senses.
"Bring up Day and Night."
The obvious commanding tone made Chen Shi feel sick when he heard it.
He had a smile on his face, but his body remained motionless. He didn't like being ordered, and no one could force him to summon Day and Night as long as he didn't want to.
And since he was dead anyway, he had nothing to care about.
"Bring it up." The beardless King of Hell spoke, his tone a little dull.
"Then are you more polite?" Chen Shi raised his eyebrows.
"Why are you so polite?" The little King of Hell looked stupid, and the bearded King of Hell didn't even look at him.
Chen Shi was amused in his heart and said: "After all, it is a heaven-level magic weapon, so it should be treated as a 'please'."
"Would you rather ask for a magic weapon?" The little King of Hell didn't look very smart, but he loved asking questions.
These words successfully brought Chen Shi's mind back to normal. His expression became lighter, and he realized again that he was no longer the famous Mr. Chen in Xizhou.
He's just a ghost, what's there to ask for?
"Please ask for the magic weapon, it's called day and night."
His eyes calmed down, and the remaining warmth fell on the purple ring on his wrist.
"Then please come up day and night." Little King of Hell was very obedient.
Chen Shi couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laugh was hearty, but it sounded a little lonely when he listened carefully. After laughing, there was a trace of relief in his eyes, and he turned his hand to hold up the day and night who had been called out.
The white jade base has a restrained brilliance, and the purple ball is suspended on it, which is magnificent and fantastic.
"Time magic weapon?" The bearded King of Hell suddenly spoke with a solemn voice.
"Yes." Chen Shi nodded, but suddenly found that the entire hall had become quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
"There is a past and a future in time. A single move can affect the whole body. A slight change may affect the laws of heaven and earth, so neither humans, gods nor ghosts can touch it." Po Meng's voice was hoarse.
Chen Shi was thoughtful. He knew that day and night were precious, but after all, he had never left Xizhou. Knowing that he did not know the world, he thought that there was a more mysterious power of time and space, but he did not expect that day and night might be unique.
"Is there no other time magic weapon in the world?"
"There are rumors that the ancient demon clan can borrow the power of time and space, but there has never been a demon in this world, and no one knows its appearance. And then there is the day and night in your hands. Apart from these two, there is no definite news." The bearded King of Hell said calmly. , the tone is more serious than before.
Some heaven-level magic weapons recognize the owner's soul and cannot be separated. Even if the owner's soul is scattered, the magic weapon may also be annihilated. Therefore, Chen Shi's meaning is different. He is the absolute owner of the only time-based treasure in heaven and earth.
"oh."
"Can you tell me the functions of day and night?" asked the bearded King of Hell.
"If you turn the purple ball to the left, you can go back in time."
"What did you say?" The bearded King of Hell stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief and his voice trembling.
"return to the past."
"Back to what?"
"past."
Chen Shi looked at him with drooped eyelids.
The look of the King of Hell could not be calm for a long time. The past is like the abyss in the human heart. How can it be easily pried into?
"Can you change the past?" There was something wrong in the bearded King of Hell's voice.
"Yes, that's how I died." Chen Shi smiled.
He just wanted to change the past in order to seek life, but he disrupted the rules of heaven and earth, causing his death to be even more tragic.
The bearded King of Hell looked at him for a long time, then slowly sat down and said, "What do you want?"
Chen Shi frowned, feeling that the question was strange, but he still organized his words and replied: "I want to forget the past and reincarnate."
"no."
Chen Shi:?
Isn't this within the business scope of the underworld?
"I think it should be like this." The Bearded King of Hell analyzed: "Day and night have the laws of time. The slightest change may bring extremely serious consequences, so if you change the past, you will pay the price with your life. And you are the master of day and night. , so the past in you has become a part that it wants to protect and is not allowed to be destroyed."
Chen Shi sneered in his heart. He hated being restrained, not even by his beloved Day and Night. The young man's expression became cold and he suddenly raised his hand, "In my name, break off the contract with Day and Night, and return you to heaven and earth."
There was silence in the hall. Chen Shi stood alone in the middle, raising one arm, looking very embarrassed.
…
"Some heavenly magic weapons recognize the soul of their master and cannot be separated."
"Impossible." Chen Shi's eyes flashed with a little warmth and a little nostalgia, but only a little bit, and it was fleeting. "Day and night were my master's magic weapon. She only passed it to me after she terminated the contract."
The King of Hell pondered for a while and suddenly asked: "Have you ever seen your master after that?"
"She left."
"There are two kinds of heaven-level magic weapons. One can change its owner after the owner dies. The other can follow the owner's soul and be reincarnated, and disappear when the soul is scattered. Day and night are obviously the latter, so there is no possibility of a second owner."
"What do you want to say?" Chen Shi frowned, "Day and night are indeed my master's magic weapon."
The bearded King of Hell thought for a while, with understanding and surprise in his eyes, "It's not... Do you want to know what's going on?"
Chen Shi looked at the other person for a while and smiled, "I don't want to."
The bearded King of Hell was stunned, "Aren't you sorry?"
Chen Shi laughed again, "I regret too many things. I don't want to cause more trouble. I just want to be reincarnated."
"Meng Po, is what he said true or false?" The King of Hell obviously did not expect such a situation.
Most people in this world are lucky, and turning into a ghost is no exception. For hundreds of years in the underworld, no ghost will not grasp hope when they see it, and want to be reincarnated.
And through Chen Shi's description, he knew that this man had tried hard to survive and had a tender heart.
Po Meng waved, and a booklet appeared out of thin air in her palm. She flipped through it to herself. This scene made Chen Shi's smile fade, but after hearing Po Meng's words, his expression went blank.
"In Chen Shi, the master I depended on left, my trusted servant died tragically, I was disgusted by my sister, I was rejected by the classmates who worked hard to protect me, my best friend was separated from me, I fell from the Two Life Bridge after being betrayed, I used day and night before falling into Jinni Marsh, trying to He changed the past and eventually exploded to death, injuring two passers-by."
The King of Hell was silent, and so was Chen Shi.
If he had only one regret, he might never forget it, but he was unlucky and had a bad personality. His whole life was riddled with regrets and embarrassments, big and small.
Chen Shi sighed tiredly and was knocked down again, "Send me to reincarnation."
The King of Hell ignored him and flipped through the book in his hand. After reading for a while, he said: "You can't be reincarnated if you have memories, but I have a way to help you break the restriction."
Chen Shi looked at him, "Conditions?"
"Help me work." King Yama said.
"Then you're at a loss." Chen Shi said helplessly, "I'm unlucky and may bring trouble to the underworld."
"I will cleanse your soul and shape your body. Your destiny will no longer be affected by your past life."
Chen Shi held his breath for a moment, his eyes widened, and his calm heart finally began to stir.
He has been resisting fate all his life, but ended in failure and death. When he fell into the Jinni Marsh and looked at the expressionless face of his best friend above him, activating the day and night, he thought about it. If he could survive this time, he would I don’t want to cultivate immortality anymore, I don’t want to fight anymore, I just want to find a place of peace and quiet for the rest of my life.
But he didn't survive.
When he arrived in the underworld, he thought again, it would be great if he could be reincarnated. Maybe if it weren't for Chen Shi, he wouldn't have such unfair luck again. Although he didn't know whether his wish could be passed on at this time, if there was an afterlife, he wouldn't be so strong. Now, he wants to read books, farm, and live a good life.
I thought I had no chance, so I didn't expect to live a warm and peaceful life as Chen Shi.
"Okay." Chen Shi said, trying hard to control his inner excitement.
The King of Hell looked directly at this man who had had bad luck in his life, and nodded. The world is like this. There are many injustices, but if you sow causes and consequences, you will not die and still suffer the pain of the past.
