When I left my master's house, I knew that all this was related to Liu Xiaojing. I remembered some of the things Liu Xiaojing had said to me, some of which were inexplicable. She said that she came for me because I owed her a lot in my previous life. I knew that Liu Xiaojing liked me, and I thought it was just a joke. But now it seems that Liu Xiaojing really came for me.
I didn't expect that Liu Xiaojing talked to Bai Jie and asked her not to be with me anymore. Bai Jie would of course not agree, but Liu Xiaojing didn't say anything else. She just smiled strangely. This is what Bai Jie told me later. It seems that everything here is really as Liu Xiaojing said. She really came for me. A person who came up from the corpse ship actually came for me. What did I owe her in my previous life
Master Yunzheng once told me that we say that we owe you in our previous life. There is a reason for this. It is indeed true. Of course, this kind of debt can be a kind of affection, a kind of righteousness, or something else. But there is a kind of debt that is fatal and terrifying. Could it be that what I owe Liu Xiaojing is these things? I can't think of it at all.
I searched for information about the corpse ship, but found nothing.
It seems that I can only go to the lake to find the answer myself. Bai Jie came in the evening and told me about Liu Xiaojing looking for her.
"Don't worry, she won't do anything to you."
I didn't feel confident when I said this, and I didn't know what would happen in the end.
The next day, I took a break and went to the lake, but I couldn't find it. It was that road, I remembered it very clearly, but I just couldn't find it. It wasn't until dark that I found it. When I got home, my father asked me what I had done. He was worried about me now, as if he had sensed something. But I wouldn't tell him, otherwise he would be even more worried.
The next day at work, as soon as I arrived at the crematorium, Liu Xiaojing came over and asked me.
"You went to look for the lake? No need to look for it. Only Master Zheng and I can find it. You can't find it. It's a strange place, or it's another road. You can't find it without someone to lead you."
Liu Xiaojing said with a smile.
"What road?"
“Let’s put it this way. That’s the road to another world.”
I was sweating. If that was the case, then the existence of another world was real, and definitely not fake. Liu Xiaojing was from another world, a world of ghosts or a world of souls? I couldn't figure it out.
“What kind of world is that?”
"It's hard to explain this in just a few words. You have a destiny with that world. You can still go there if you have the chance."
"Why can you, Master Zheng can do it, but I can't?"
"Okay, stop asking so many questions. Let's go eat after get off work at noon."
Zhao Tie noticed that I was uneasy about this matter, so he lit a cigarette for me and asked me.
"Master, is there something wrong with you?"
"No."
"Well, I have something to do. I like Liu Xiaojing. Can you see if you can be a..."
"Shut up."
Zhao Tie was shocked. Liu Xiaojing is pretty, so it's normal for someone to like her. Besides, Zhao Tie and I are not much different in age. Zhao Tie was very unhappy with my reprimand, but I am his master and he can't do anything about it. I don't want to explain. Zhao Tie doesn't know much about the crematorium, and there are too many things he doesn't know.
What if Zheng Qing could go to the corpse ship? Is he also from another world? This scares me. Liu Xiaojing has not been telling the truth. What is her purpose in coming here? Do I really owe her something? Maybe it is that I owed her something in my last life and I have to pay it back in this life, but this is the way to pay it back, which is a way I don't like very much.
I must understand it clearly. I will have dinner with Liu Xiaojing in the evening. I must ask clearly. If I don't understand all this, Bai Jie may be in trouble. Liu Xiaojing wants Bai Jie to leave me. Then Liu Xiaojing's plan is to be with me until she dies. This is not a good choice. If I am with someone from another world, what will be the ending? I can't think of it.
When I was having dinner with Liu Xiaojing, I asked her about this matter. She hesitated for a long time before she spoke.
"You will know this sooner or later, so I might as well tell you. I am from another world and a princess of that nation. We were once husband and wife in one lifetime, but our fate has not ended. I have to come back in this lifetime, and I have come ahead of time, with the life from another world. I want to survive in this world, so I need Master Zheng to help me with bone balls, a kind of thing in the human body. Of course, there needs to be a certain number of these bone balls, otherwise I have to go back regularly, take the corpse ship back, and come out after resting. I am waiting for Master Zheng to receive the bone balls and wear them on my body, then I won't have to go back. That world is full of corpses, and the corpse ship is also full of corpses."
Liu Xiaojing is telling a fairy tale, I don’t believe it.
"Do I owe you anything?"
"Yes, you owe me. Three hundred years ago, we were husband and wife for a lifetime. When we were joining our bones, something went wrong. My bones were not joined with yours, but were sold to another person. Your son in that lifetime did what my son did, of course. I don't blame him, but I know that you didn't agree to join your bones. You told your son this when you died. So you owe me a lifetime. I want to know why you didn't agree to join my bones in that lifetime."
I was a little confused. How could I know about things in that world
"I don't know about my previous life, but maybe your world will know."
"Of course, you don't know, but I will take you to see your grave in your previous life."
I'm a little wet. My last life was three hundred years ago. So what was I three hundred years ago
After dinner, Liu Xiaojing took me to see my grave from my previous life, a grave from three hundred years ago. Liu Xiaojing went up the West Hill, where there was a cemetery. I knew the place, it was a large cemetery. After Liu Xiaojing entered the cemetery, he walked around dozens of graves and stood in front of a grave with a stone tablet on it.
"This is your grave in your previous life. My body was sold secretly and then dug up the grave the year after I buried it. I can't find my body anymore."
I looked at what was engraved on the stone tablet. I found out that my last name in my previous life was Chou, and I was a butcher. I almost laughed out loud. Liu Xiaojing also laughed after reading it.
"You were a butcher in your previous life. When you died, you asked your son to write your occupation down. I really don't know what you were thinking."
I feel a little dizzy.
"You can tell me anything, any grave could be mine."
"I'm not lying. Of course, you won't believe it. I'll find a way to make you believe it."
As we were going down the mountain, I felt that Liu Xiaojing was a bit too unreliable. This was simply a joke. How could this be possible
After Liu Xiaojing went home, I went to find Zheng Qing. Zheng Qing was reading a book at home. He liked reading thick martial arts novels. My visit surprised him a little. Master Zheng cooked two dishes for him and drank some wine.
"Master Zheng, I want to ask more about Liu Xiaojing."
"You can ask Liu Xiaojing yourself if she is willing to tell you."
"Actually, I've already asked, but there are many things I still don't understand. My last name was Qiu, and I was a butcher. Liu Xiaojing and I were husband and wife in my last life, but there's one thing I don't understand. I owed her, but you let her stay in this world. If I didn't stay, I would have paid her back in my next life. This is not a good thing. It's scary for me to live with someone from another world."
Zheng Qing looked at me blankly. He didn't expect that Liu Xiaojing would tell me so much. This might be an accident. Zheng Qing drank a glass of white wine in one gulp, then looked at me, stared at me, and didn't speak for a long time. I felt uneasy.
"Well, I'll tell you. Since you already know so much, and you're still husband and wife in the end, why shouldn't I tell you? I don't know about you, but she will tell you later."
My heart started pounding. Perhaps the answer would be out soon. I didn’t know what the answer would be, but I was sure that it would leave me stunned and dumbfounded.
Zheng Qing said after he let out a long breath.
"I helped Liu Xiaojing because I needed something. I couldn't get it, so I had to ask Liu Xiaojing to help me and I would help her. This was the condition. The first time I saw Liu Xiaojing, I knew that she was not from this world, but from another world. She should be a ghost corpse. I could feel the coldness of her body, but now she has slowly recovered her human temperature. Only the bone ball has reached a level. After she put it on, a year later, she was no different from us. But there was one thing: after she died, there was no corpse. She just disappeared."
I looked at Zheng Qing and felt that he and Liu Xiaojing had conspired to lie to me.
"What do you need?"
"Thousand-year finger bones."
I was stunned. What does he need this for
"That nation is a thousand-year-old nation. There are countless thousand-year-old finger bones there, but the thousand-year-old finger bones I need are also very special, so they are not easy to find."
"What do you want this finger bone for?"
"You ask too many questions and know too much. Just know your own business."
"I don't believe in such things at all."
"I know you won't believe it, but Liu Xiaojing will make you believe it."
I didn't know anything more about that day, and Zheng Qing didn't talk about it anymore.
The next day I was resting, Liu Xiaojing asked for leave and came to my house. My father was not happy to see Liu Xiaojing, he didn't know so many things. However, the matter between Bai Jie and I had been dragging on, and my father felt something was wrong, so when he saw Liu Xiaojing, he would think too much.
Liu Xiaojing and I came out.
"Xiao Zuo, I'll take you to a place. I think you'll believe it then."
"In fact, I can repay you what I owe you after you are reincarnated and we meet. You are from another world, or something else. You are in a different world from humans. Humans and ghosts are on different paths. You should know this."
"Of course I know that, but what I know even more is that two hundred years from now, I will have a reincarnation, and this reincarnation will separate you and me from everything else, and we will never be together again."
"That's fate, it should be like this, just let it be."
Liu Xiaojing shook her head and didn't want to say anything more.
Liu Xiaojing took me to the Wanghu Terrace. When the fog rose, the corpse boat appeared.
"I will take you to my world, where there are no living people, or living ghosts. Our world was originally a world of bones. I am a ghost corpse, but I got a chance to transfer to this world. Although there will be a lot of pain in this world, I can be with you, so I don't have to be afraid of anything."
That is a world of ghosts and corpses, a world of cold corpses, I don’t know what kind of world it is. (To be continued)
