Chapter 39 Strange old man I felt so tired. I flew over every corner of Shijiawan. Ah Huang was curled up under the cold eaves. There was no smoke coming out of the chimney. I flew into the house excitedly, but the house was in a mess. The old wooden house that used to be warm had no trace of anyone having lived there. There were spider webs everywhere. My heart was clenched tightly and I shouted loudly, "Grandpa, Grandpa." In the dilapidated house, there is only my own echo. "Yang Dadan, Yang Dadan, where are you?" In the past, when I called out like this, my grandfather would pretend to be angry and come over and carry me on his shoulders, but at this time there was no response in the house. "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" My consciousness was pulled back again. When I opened my eyes, I found that this was not Shijiawan, and the fat baby was looking at me anxiously. I breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was just a dream. "Sister, why don't you speak?" Seeing my depressed look, the fat baby gently shook my arm. I shook my head. “It turns out that being dead feels the same as being alive, but being trapped here is not pleasant.” The fat baby sucked his fingers hard and looked at me: "Sister, if you don't want to die, there is only one way." I looked at him in disbelief. Is there any way to remain immortal? Others don’t have it, but you, sister, are different.
My curiosity was raised to my throat. "But, alas." I sighed again, thinking that if dead, then dead is dead, and Brother Hai will never come back to life. The fat baby suddenly leaned close to my ear and said, "Sister, you are immortal. Your death now is not real death, it is just the disappearance of your body. You are the reincarnation of Lingzhu." "It's the spirit pearl reincarnating again. The person is dead, so why should I reincarnate?" I stood up and walked away impatiently. The fat baby chased after me with his eyes wide open in confusion: "Sister, why are you angry?" I frowned: "I have already lost my body, how can I go back? How can I be immortal? If I am really the reincarnation of Lingzhu, how could I die?" I sighed lightly and patted his little head. In fact, I also wanted to say that if I am the reincarnation of Lingzhu, why can't Brother Hai be rescued. "I'm not talking nonsense. You are the spirit pearl. As long as you find him, he can let you go back." The fat baby's face turned red with anxiety. "He? Who?" I was a little doubtful. "Shh, sister, keep your voice down. They are all looking for you." The fat baby looked around in horror. "Looking for me, what use can I be to them?" But I was still a little scared by what he said. I couldn't help looking around and quickly lowered my voice. "I guess you don't know that he is a famous ancient god and the god of war of the immortals. As long as you can find him, your soul body will be able to meet him. However, I heard from those ghost grandfathers that this ancient god has been sealed for thousands of years and no one has ever seen him again." "The ancient god, the god of war, how powerful must he be to have such ability." I muttered to myself. "Sister, do you know?" The fat baby stared at me curiously. I shook my head: "I don't know, it just sounds so familiar." The fat kid raised his head proudly: "Of course, between heaven and earth, between the Yin and Yang worlds, who doesn't know him?" I couldn't help but laugh. "You talk as if you've met him before." "I, I, of course I have seen it." The fat baby's face turned red with anxiety. Seeing me staring at him blankly, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Although I have never seen him, all the souls in the underworld know him. I also want to be as powerful as him." I nodded and said, "Such a powerful person will definitely be able to save me."
The fat baby's face was full of joy: "Sister, these are what the souls said. What they said must be true. But how do we find him?" Hehehe, I am dying of laughter, I am dying of laughter. A strange laughter came, like the sharp sound of wind piercing glass, or like the cry for help of an animal whose throat is being strangled and waiting to be slaughtered... I stood up alertly. The fat baby's face turned pale as a cicada's wing in an instant, and it seemed that he would melt in the blink of an eye. He ran over to me in fear and hugged me, whispering: "Sister, we can't escape, he's coming, he's coming." I quickly stood up and held the fat baby in my arms, looking coldly at the thing in front of me that looked neither human nor ghost. Hehe, I am dying of laughter, I am dying of laughter. This weirdo made this sound again. "If you have something to say, just say it. What's the point of pretending here?" I looked at him without fear. "I didn't expect that people in this world could see me. You, little girl, must not be an ordinary person. Tell me, how do you want to die?" The strange man lifted his dry hair and looked at me and laughed. ...Which eye of yours saw that I was a living being? I snorted twice. The weirdo scratched his head and said in confusion: "You are not? How is that possible? How could I be wrong?" I rolled my eyes at him and ignored him. "Why don't you say something? If you are not from the mortal world, then what are you?" The strange old man became even more curious. I was so angry at this weird old man that my eyebrows were wrinkled into knots: "Who is a thing? Who is a thing? You are so annoying, weird old man." The weird old man was so anxious that he screamed: "You little girl, you really make me angry, tell me quickly, you are not a human, then you are a ghost? No, no, ghosts are not like you? Haha, I know, you are a spirit, right, right, you are a spirit." "Yes, yes, congratulations Qiao, your guess was completely wrong." I was too lazy to pay attention to him and prepared to leave with the fat baby. "No, you didn't tell me. You can't leave, girl. Can you please tell the old man?" The strange old man's voice was much softer than before. I got angry for no apparent reason, pushed him away, and was about to leave. The strange old man stared at my eyes, and suddenly fell to the ground, screaming: "No, no, you lied to me, you lied to the old man, you lied to the old man... Someone come, someone lied to the old man." I was startled. I didn't expect that this strange old man would fall to the ground and scream like a child. "Sister, him?" The fat baby's frightened pale face began to show some color, but he still held my hand nervously. I signaled to him not to be afraid and walked towards the strange old man. Seeing me coming over, the strange old man's howling became much softer. He looked at me with sidelong glances, his two little eyes full of anticipation. I looked at him curiously. His dirty face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were as clear as a child's. This reminded me of my grandfather. Shijia Bay was thousands of miles away, and I had been away for too long. Now... the more I thought about it, the sadder I felt, and tears welled up in my eyes. When the strange old man saw that I was interested in him, he quickly got up and waited for my reply with a smile. I pouted and turned away, not wanting to look at him. The fat baby called softly, "Sister." The weird old man bared his teeth and glared at the fat kid in protest, then smiled and said to me from behind, "Girl, I didn't provoke you, why are you ignoring me?" I covered my face with my hands and sobbed with grief. The strange old man suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "You have tears, you have tears, so you are a fairy, I understand, I understand." I wiped my tears and looked at each other with the fat baby. Fairy... In the blink of an eye, I became a fairy again?
Seeing the tears on my face, the weird old man pouted and said aggrievedly: "Well, I didn't bully you, why are you crying?" "Hmph, I didn't say it was you, I just wanted to cry," I turned my head and ignored him, but my body was sobbing because of crying. The strange old man was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously. "Got it, got it, little kid, tell me who bullied you and I'll help you get revenge, okay?" The strange old man was so happy that he jumped for the good idea he thought of. I shook my head. I just missed home and my grandpa. The weird old man looked at me stupidly and said, "Why cry about such a small thing? Why don't you just go home?" Go home, but how can I go home? I wiped away my tears. Sister, sister, the fat baby shook his head at me. The strange old man smiled and said, "Just tell me where your home is, and I'll take you back." Really? I almost cheered with excitement. Of course, everyone in the world knows that I never tell lies. The old man raised his head proudly, and the white beard at the corner of his mouth looked particularly prickly because he hadn't combed it for too long, and it was very funny that one side was higher than the other. Let’s go quickly then. I want to go back to Shijia Bay, leaving now. The strange old man shook his hair and followed. Suddenly he screamed, "Girl, no, you have to tell me what you are." He was the one who said I was dead, and when I pointed at the fat baby, I found that he was gone. Dead? But I'm sure you're alive? The strange old man was so surprised that he stared at me with wide eyes. “But I actually saw my body thrown into a mass grave, and it was already broken.” I stamped my feet in anger. "Have you seen your own body? Where is it? I want to go and see it too. This is so interesting." The strange old man jumped excitedly. "Go to a mass grave? No, I don't want to. It's dark and there are corpses there. I'm scared." "With me here, who dares to bully you? Take me away quickly." Before I finished speaking, the strange old man picked me up and jumped onto the treetop. As I screamed, the strange old man smiled and said, "I say, girl, I know all the mass graves within dozens of miles around here. You can find out which one it is..." (End of this chapter)
