[R18] Erha and he’s white cat master – Chapter 108 of “Erha and He’s White Cat Master” [English]
byChapter 108 Master’s Earthly Soul
Mo Ran followed him upstairs in a daze, and his feet made a strange creaking sound on the wooden steps that were in disrepair. He couldn’t help but ask: “Do you call him Mr. Chu?”
“Yes, he was sent by Yama to take care of this building. He is our elder.”
“…”
Mo Ran didn’t say anything, but he was a little surprised in his heart.
“We’re here.” The masked man stopped in front of a half-moon-shaped arch on the second floor, and gently knocked on the ajar carved vermilion door, “Mr. Chu, your old friend is here to find you.”
There was silence inside for a moment, and then I remembered the gentle voice, like warm wine on the stove and soft hair on the pillow.
“Old friend? He again? I said, I don’t want to see him again. Just let him go back.”
The masked man coughed lightly: “No, Mr. Chu misunderstood, it’s not he this time.”
“Who else could it be?” There was a moment of silence and he said, “That’s all, please come in.”
The inside of the Nuan Pavilion is very elegant and clean, and the furnishings of tables and chairs are even simple and a bit cold.But the ground was covered with luxurious soft felt. When Mo Ran walked in, half of his feet were immediately submerged in it. There was also the pungent smell of beast fur in the air.What was incompatible with this atmosphere was the man pruning flower branches by the window.
He has long ink-colored hair, white clothes with wide sleeves, scarlet buds quivering on his translucent fingertips.Perhaps because of the usual rules of SF Tower, he also wore a navy blue ghost mask on his face, with ferocious fangs and protruding eyes.But even with such a mask, he felt inexplicably gentle when worn on his face.
He cut off the excess branches, gathered them together and discarded them, and then turned his head.
Mo Ran felt that his throat was dry. The conversation between the masked man and Chu Wanning just made him confused and vaguely uneasy. He didn’t know what this soul had lost.If Chu Wanning doesn’t remember he…
Just as he was thinking this, the man put down the flower scissors and walked towards him.
Mo Ran, who was not afraid of anything, felt a little flustered, and a thin layer of sweat started to form on his vest.
“Master.”
The man stopped and got a little closer.Mo Ran seemed to laugh when he heard he.
“What master?” he said, “Young master, have you recognized the wrong person?”
Sure enough…
What are you afraid of?
There was a thud in Mo Ran’s heart, and it seemed like a huge boulder crashed down in his chest, driving him into the endless abyss.He stared blankly at the man in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, the man put his slender white hands on the mask and gently took off the heavily painted grimace, revealing Zhang Qingjun’s dignified face.
The ink burned and felt that the huge boulder disappeared suddenly.
He looked at the man who took off the mask in surprise, but without any doubt, and blurted out: “Chu Xun?”
No wonder the little master downstairs got the portrait wrong.Chu Xun and Chu Wanning look very similar, but Chu Xun is gentle and Chu Wanning is cold.But only those who are extremely familiar with it can tell the difference between he and he.
Such as ink burning.
The man in front of him was Chu Xun, the young master of Lin’an City whom he had seen in a vision more than two hundred years ago, so he reported his name without thinking.
But the real Chu Xun had never seen he before, so he was a little surprised and said with a smile: “…you really know me?”
Mo Ran hurriedly waved his hand: “No, no, I found the wrong person. But I do know you…” He said, looking at the other party with some curiosity. Chu Xun was a person who died a hundred years ago, but has not yet passed away. It was obviously Yama who assigned him a task to temporarily escape reincarnation.
Unexpectedly, I could still see Chu Wanning’s ancestors. Mo Ran only felt that it was very mysterious.
Chu Xun nodded and said: “So that’s it.” Then he smiled and said, “Who is the person that the young master is looking for? Since you have come upstairs by fate, I will help you search. Otherwise, there are thousands of ghosts in the vast Nanke Township, and I don’t know what year and horse to go.”
Mo Ran originally planned to explain a few words and then go downstairs to find someone to figure it out again. Unexpectedly, Chu Xun was so warm-hearted and did not change even after being a ghost. He was actually willing to help him personally. He couldn’t help but be very happy and said: “That’s great. There is Mr. Lao Chu!”
With that said, he handed the portrait to Chu Xun.
Chu Xun unfolded it and took a look and said with a smile: “No wonder the people below got it wrong, it does look a bit like me. What’s his name?”
“Chu Wanning.” Mo Ran said, “He is called Chu Wanning.”
“Also surnamed Chu?…What a coincidence.”
Mo Ran’s heart moved and he asked: “Could it be Mr.’s relative?”
“It’s hard to say. To see all the conditions in the world, you need to go to the Ninth King of the Ghost Realm. I… have a life-and-death enmity with the Ninth King. I don’t want to ask for help, so I don’t care about the world of mortals anymore.”
Of course he was talking about the ghost king who broke the Lin’an barrier and killed his family.When someone pokes a scar, even a person as calm as he has a somewhat obscure expression.
Mo Ran originally thought that this time he could confirm the connection between Chu Wanning and Chu Xun, but unexpectedly it turned out to be like this. He had to shake his head: “It’s a pity.”
Chu Xun smiled, said no more, went to the museum shelf to get a gilt yin-yang pattern compass, and asked Mo Ran to take a seat.
“Can you use this to know where he is?”
“Nine times out of ten.”
“What’s going on with the other one or two?”
“Some people’s soul power will always be a bit strange, and it is possible that they cannot be found.” Chu Xun said, “But it is not common. The young master should not be so unlucky.”
The calculation was settled, and the small golden needle in the compass pointed tremblingly to the north. But after a while, it turned south, then east, then west, and finally started to spin again.
Chu Xun: “…”
Mo Ran carefully said: “How is it?”
“Ahem.” Chu Xun coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, “Young Master… is indeed a little unlucky.”
Mo Ran: “…”
In fact, Mo Ran’s luck is often bad, so he knows it won’t be so smooth.he sighed, thanked Chu Xun, and prepared to rejoin the vast sea of people and continue to find the whereabouts of Chu Wanning.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the crazy rotation of the compass suddenly stopped, and the indicator pointed in a certain direction, tremblingly, as if it was not so sure. After a while, it pointed to a slightly off position.
Chu Xun hurriedly called him: “Young Master, please wait a moment.”
Mo Ran immediately stopped and stared at the compass at the table. The index swayed left and right, but it didn’t stop, but it roughly pointed out a direction.
Chu Xun frowned and said, “What’s going on…”
“Does this represent some kind of vision?”
“It’s not a vision, but it’s very strange.” Chu Xun looked at the compass, his eyebrows frowning deeper and deeper, “It seems that there are figures of he in both directions?”
The ink was suddenly startled.
How is that possible?
Now that the soul is in Chu Wanning’s body, and the human soul is in the soul-inducing lamp, there should be only one soul left in the ghost world. How can Chu Wanning appear in two places at the same time?
Chu Xun said: “In short, one in the southeast and one in the northeast. Young Master, go and search for them. Maybe the compass has been affected by some magic, and it’s hard to say whether it points accurately or not.”
Mo Ran was very anxious, thanked Chu Xun, and hurriedly left Shunfeng Tower and ran to the east.
After running for a long time, he suddenly encountered a fork in the road and Mo Ran suddenly stopped.
Southeast or Northeast?
He was holding the soul-inducing lantern, anxious, but after a while, he looked at the lantern with human souls gathered in his hand, and he suddenly seemed to have a vague and strange feeling in his heart.
He followed this distant perception and walked through the narrow streets and deep alleys.
The further you go, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
He even felt that Chu Wanning’s earth soul was invisibly summoning the soul-inducing lamp in his hand, or summoning him to go somewhere.
Mo Ran finally stopped in front of a two-story old wooden building.
“Sick Soul Pavilion.”
He raised his head and glanced at the huge and heavy hanging plaque.The plaque has been exposed to wind and sun all day long, and the black paint has peeled off, and a large piece of the red text on it has lost its color, revealing the mottled, moldy and rotten wood underneath.
Mo Ran frowned, feeling trembling in his heart, feeling that these three words made him very uneasy.
Sick soul…what does it mean?
Is it because of this that Chu Xun’s compass failed?
He opened the door, stepped over the high threshold, and walked in.
he soon knew the answer.
There are hundreds of beds in the Pavilion of Sick Souls, and all of them are unconscious souls lying on them.More than a dozen ghosts wearing white masks shuttled among them, delivering spiritual energy to the sick bed.
The so-called sick soul hall is the medical hall of the ghost world.
Mo Ran found the ghost doctor at the end who was coordinating the overall situation, and he cupped his hands and said: “Doctor, I think…”
The doctor was very busy and said impatiently: “On the second floor for medicines, wait in line on the left for diagnosis.”
“What about searching for someone?”
“Looking for someone…what? Looking for someone?”
Mo Ran showed the scroll to him: “Has the doctor ever seen this immortal king?”
The ghost doctor took the scroll and looked at it, then raised his head again and looked at Mo Ran. Under the black holes in the mask, a pair of eyes seemed to have some pity: “Your relatives?”
“Well, yeah.”
“He’s soul is damaged.” The ghost doctor pointed to the stairs, “Lie down in the innermost compartment upstairs. We can’t cure this kind of disease, so we can only wait and see for yourself.”
Mo Ran was shocked: “The earth soul is damaged? How could it be damaged?”
“Who knows? The six paths of reincarnation are extremely painful things. Maybe his soul was damaged during his previous reincarnations, but he is a monastic in this life, and maybe he went crazy and damaged his soul. In short, it is not complete. You ask me who I ask.”
Mo Ran said anxiously: “Then… what will be the impact of the damage to the earth soul?”
“Influence?” The ghost doctor thought for a while, “It’s okay, after all, only one of the three souls is partially intact, and it cannot affect his reincarnation. If there is anything… it probably means that he will live shorter in the next life, have worse luck, or be physically weaker.”
“…” After Mo Ran heard this, although he was quite unwilling, he still had no choice but to thank the ghost doctor first and then walked upstairs.
The layout above is not as compact and dense as the one below, which makes people breathless.
Perhaps because the remaining souls parked there are all those that cannot be revived by the Sick Soul Hall, they do not require much care.There was only one medical officer sleeping idly on a wicker chair in the foyer.
Mo Ran didn’t wake him up and walked straight inside.
In the huge empty space, only ten or twenty hospital beds were placed, leaning against the red rosewood windows, with a plain screen between them.
It was quiet all around.
The floor made a squeaking sound when his feet stepped on it, and his ink-burning eyes fell on the innermost compartment, where there was a half-moon-shaped arch, and outside the arch was an open-air balcony. The moonlight filtered in through the hanging thin gauze curtains, and the breeze swayed.
There are obviously more than twenty sick souls here, but Mo Ran has a strong feeling for some reason.
Perhaps it was the soul-guiding lamp that led him all the way forward. Without any distractions, he walked towards the innermost room and walked into the pure and hazy moonlit night.
He raised his hand and opened the curtain.
Chu Wanning’s last lonely soul was indeed lying there, with his eyes closed and his face very pale, so similar to the corpse parked in Shuangtian Temple.
Rao has found him, Rao is in sight of rebirth. When Mo Ran saw such a blood-stained, cold and thin figure, he still couldn’t help but feel pain in his heart and a sore nose.
He walked over and placed the soul-inducing lamp on the bedside.
Then he sat next to Chu Wanning’s bedside and wanted to gently hold the other person’s cold hand.
But this remnant soul is different from the previous human soul. Perhaps because of the severe loss, he’s spirit body is actually void. The ink-burning fingertips cannot touch he, and just pass through the shadow of Chu Wanning’s soul and fall on the white mattress.
Because of such nothingness, Mo Ran felt some bitter loss.
If there is a slight mistake, if the guilty master never appears, if Chu nightning’s soul is broken more, if the master is discouraged, heaven and earth will not meet…
He lowered his body, knowing clearly that he could not hold Chu Wanning’s forehead, but he still couldn’t help it. He closed his eyes, as if to embrace the misty earth soul, and leaned on the mat.
“Master.”
The dead souls of he and he overlap, and the moonlight shines, regardless of you and me.
The ink burned like a sigh, and he took a long breath, but his heart was bitter and heavy.
He has seen Chu Wanning’s body, seen Chu Wanning’s human soul, and now he has seen this sick earth soul. Every time he sees one, the feelings are different.He knelt down in front of the corpse, his sin and guilt almost tearing him apart. He confessed in front of the human soul, holding hands and begging Chu Wanning to come back.
And the soul of the earth.
He tried to embrace each other, but couldn’t catch anything or touch anything. He suddenly felt a boundless panic in his heart, and he actually felt that this was the ending he deserved.
He is full of guilt and his hands are full of blood.How can he be so virtuous as to be able to stay with his old friend forever and never be separated?
Mo Ran closed his eyes, and his eyelashes seemed a little moist, which warmed the thin pillow.
I once thought that God would treat him lightly, but now it seems that it is as ridiculous as a joke.It turns out that this is not the case. It turns out that God treats him very kindly, but his heart is too thin, and everything he sees is dark.
It’s not good for him.
He was shocked to realize that he had taken such a road of no return. He wanted to look back now. He wanted to spend the rest of his life making up for it and the rest of his life to pay it back. He didn’t know if he would be able to return to the starting point in time.
What an immortal king, what an emperor in the human world.
No more.
He just wants to have a good time and be the upright person Chu Wanning has always wanted him to be.
Some people say that knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things.
But his fault goes too far.
He doesn’t know how long it will take to repay it. Maybe until the day he dies, he still can’t get rid of this endless regret.After all, scratches in the water can return to peace, but wounds in the wood will always penetrate the bones.
“Master.” After a long time, he was immersed in the moonlight, immersed in Chu Wanning’s almost transparent soul, he said, his voice was like coaxing a child, “Let’s go, we are going back.”
He straightened up and raised the soul-inducing lamp.
The mantra was recited silently, and the soul of the earth entered the lamp. The thin shadow quickly sank into the core of the lamp and disappeared without a trace.
The ink burns and waits.
But after waiting for a long time, the local soul and the human soul were completely integrated. After a long time, there was still no movement.
Mo Ran’s face suddenly turned pale.
What’s wrong?!
Didn’t it mean that after the earth soul and the human soul merged, he could bring Chu Wanning back to the world?
Could it be that Master Huaigui’s spell has failed?!
