Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 79: Making Friends with Ghosts, the Afterlife

Bai Yu gently waved his hand and said, "Bai Yu is just a scholar who has never been a soldier or seen a battlefield. I can only describe it with words, afraid that it would be a joke to the general."

"No! As long as one has been in the military, they would be moved by the words written by the gentleman," replied the general.

Yun Yao shook her head gently.

She lowered her gaze slightly and said softly, "Yun Yao has been a lonely ghost for a long time, also reminiscing about the past..."

When she was young, her family went through a major change, and she sought refuge in the military. Thanks to the emperor's appreciation, she rose through the ranks step by step. She achieved great success, killing millions of enemy soldiers, and in the end, her achievements shook the ruler. She was given a cup of poison wine, ending her life. After death, she became a vengeful ghost with an overwhelming curse and bloodthirsty aura...

Time passed by, reflecting on this life.

She lived a shorter life than many others, but it was also more exciting than many others.

Bai Yu gently shook his head and said, "General, you are a hero of Qianyuan, not a lonely ghost."

He may not be a hero himself, but he does not dislike heroes.

Moreover, this hero is beautiful and treats him well.

"Hahaha, let's not talk about this!" Yun Yao laughed, "The gentleman is also a dragon and phoenix among men, talented! And..."

"With the protection of the divine dragon, truly extraordinary!" She glanced at Long Zhi beside Bai Yu, "Yun Yao has never seen such a person like the gentleman before. With you in Qianyuan, it can last another 300 years."

Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, "Hahaha! General, let's not be too polite! Just call me Bai Yu!"

"Okay! Then you can call me Yun Yao!"

"Good!"

Meeting for the first time, one human and one ghost, one male and one female, one literary and one martial.

Both sides had no ill intentions towards each other and got along quite harmoniously.

Bai Yu paused, looking at the blood-stained battlefield around him, and couldn't help but ask, "Yun Yao, is this in my dream?"

As a mortal, this experience felt so real yet surreal, quite novel.

"Well... you can say that!" Yun Yao replied.

It should be considered as the blending of their spirits.

Yun Yao was a warrior and not very good at describing, so she simply nodded lightly.

According to the mortal's definition of dreams, they did indeed meet in a dream.

She glanced at Long Zhi beside Bai Yu and said to him, "You can try to change this world with your imagination."

"Hmm?"

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, and then the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, turning into simple ordinary houses. In a moment, it transformed into a magnificent palace, and in the next instant, it became a picturesque landscape of mountains and flowing water.

It's quite interesting.

Bai Yu transformed into a table with three seats and sat down with Yun Yao.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and asked her, "Yun Yao, what brings you here to see me?"

To be honest, he has now encountered many monsters and demons and has received many hints from Goldfinger. But he has only completed one task, which is Long Jiejie's.

Long Zhi's task was the simplest, it was completed on the spot with just one sentence.

The most troublesome one should be Hong Ling's. It is still young and hasn't even opened its spiritual wisdom. It should be kept as a pet, who knows how it can transform into a phoenix.

Hu Ji Qin Nv is a bit mysterious, and I need to get to know her more before knowing if her task is feasible or not.

Miss Lingbi is quite simple. After the palace examination, I just need to mention it to the old emperor and let her pass, becoming my subordinate, and it will be completed.

Now, he has encountered this ghost general again.

Her task is not simple, but it is different from Hong Ling and Hu Ji, who are so mystical and unpredictable.

There are difficulties, but there is still feasibility. With some planning, it can be overcome.

"Hmm?"

Yun Yao was stunned, and she gently shook her head. "I am just someone who has had a long-standing friendship with Bai Yu. I am grateful for your protection of Yao Yun, and I know that you are not afraid of us spirits and ghosts. So I wanted to meet and get to know you, nothing more."

She is not that complicated. In fact, she really just wanted to simply get to know him when she came to see Bai Yu.

As a lonely ghost for over fifty years, carrying a national grudge and a million blood feuds, although the three maidservants are worried about her, she herself no longer has the desire to regain her deserved glory and find a place to be worshipped by people.

Moreover, she is not used to begging others.

Even in death, her spine remains straight.

Bai Yu: ................

Well, this ghost sister is quite carefree.

Although her way of coming is a bit peculiar, she really just came to visit and make friends.

During the day, those few people from Stone Hongqu should really learn from others.

"Haha, good!"

"Then we are friends now!"

Bai Yu probably understood Yun Yao's temperament to some extent.

She didn't like the type of person who begged for help.

If the other party didn't ask, Bai Yu wouldn't ask either.

She just laughed heartily, brought out two cups of wine, and raised her cup to Yun Yao: "A thousand cups of wine are not enough for a true friend. Come, General, I toast to you."

In fifty years, she had never met such a person!

Yun Yao paused,

Looking at the young scholar in front of her,

She couldn't help but be stunned,

Unconsciously, she remembered the glorious and important time she had in the military.

She paused,

Raised her cup and smiled: "Good!"

The two looked at each other, raised their cups and drank, feeling relaxed.

"Oh, by the way..."

Just then, she seemed to remember something,

She said to Bai Yu, "Bai Yu, I have a gift for you, almost forgot!"

Then, casually, she reached out and grabbed a figure that seemed real yet illusory.

His face was pale, full of fear, and his neck was tightly squeezed.

He opened his mouth to scream, but couldn't make a sound.

Bai Yu recognized him, he was Yang Si, the one who had wanted to cause trouble for him before.

Yun Yao narrowed her eyes and decisively snapped his neck with her palm.

Then, the figure of the other party also turned into flickering lights and disappeared.

She acted as if she had done something insignificant and continued to drink with Bai Yu,

Saying, "I know he has a grudge against you, after today, he won't trouble you in the mortal world anymore."

Bai Yu:......

Is it true that she is the notorious female demon who stops children from crying?

She even gave such a unique gift.

Bai Yu asked, "Is he dead?"

"He will be dead after today."

"Uh..."

"Thank you!"

The efficiency of the old emperor is not great!

He managed to secure an 800 bribe, and the Marquis Xin Yuan is quite audacious.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu understood the trick behind it.

He didn't say anything hypocritical or kind, just bowed and thanked the other person.

It turns out it's a female ghost sister!

"You're welcome!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment, then curiously asked her, "Yun Yao, what is the afterlife like? Are there ten Yama Kings? Is there someone in charge of life and death, reincarnation, and judging people's sins?"

He hadn't asked Long Jiejie about these things.

Now there is a more suitable person, so it wouldn't hurt to ask.

There is also a Yama Seal and the Seal of the Underworld Army in the reward for helping Yun Yao, which clearly has something to do with the world of the deceased.

He was quite curious.

Yun Yao shook her head gently, "No one is in charge. After death, everything becomes nothingness, and the soul goes to a new place."

"The world of the deceased is a lonely and cold void. People with extreme obsessions may gather and become fierce ghosts. Those who are protected by the dynasty's spiritual veins and admired by people may become ghost spirits. Those burdened with endless karma, killings, and grievances may become evil spirits."

Yun Yao belongs to the latter two, closer to the latter.

These ghosts and spirits are not classified by anyone, and the boundaries are not so clear.

In short, they are just existences that do not disappear after death.

Bai Yu squinted his eyes, "I see..."

People fear life and death,

Even in a brand new world, the folk have created various spectacular ghosts and gods related to life and death.

However, the first thing is often not what people think about.

In Yun Yao's reward, what are these two things for?
