[R18] Erha and he’s white cat master – Chapter 109 of “Erha and He’s White Cat Master” [English]
byChapter 109 Master’s Second Earth Soul
His mind was in chaos, buzzing and numb, and Mo Ran only felt his hands and feet were cold. He hugged Chu Wanning’s soul and went downstairs.
“Doctor…”
“Is it you? What’s wrong?”
“Are you sure that the one upstairs… is my master’s earthly soul, right?”
The ghost doctor was a little impatient: “Of course, how can I be wrong?”
Mo Ran was unwilling to accept it and asked: “Is it possible to know the soul, or…”
“Or something.” Ghost Doctor clicked his tongue, “A person has three souls, earth, consciousness, and people. I have been practicing medicine here for one hundred and fifty years. If I couldn’t distinguish between these three souls, wouldn’t the King of Hell have told me to go back to hell?”
Mo Ran pursed his lips and suddenly had an uncertain idea.
“Doctor, you have been practicing medicine for one hundred and fifty years. Have you ever seen a person… have two earthly souls?”
“You must be sick!” Ghost Doctor said angrily, “I think your brain is not working well either. Why don’t you stay and let me take your pulse?”
Of course, he couldn’t let the ghost doctor take his pulse. Although the guilty master had cast a spell, if he was not careful, he would still be caught. Mo Ran quickly apologized, holding a lantern filled with human souls and earth souls, and hurriedly ran out of the sick soul hall.
The sky in the ghost world is always dark. To distinguish between morning and dusk, you can only look up at the sky.If there is a half-warm and half-cool sun behind the red clouds, it is day; if there is a cold moon hanging high in the sky, it is night.
It was already night, and the road was getting colder.
Mo Ran held the soul-inducing lamp in his arms, lowered his head, and walked alone on the street.The further I walked, the more at a loss I felt, and the further I walked, the more isolated and helpless I felt.
This kind of helplessness and confusion has always been with him when he was very young, which makes him feel very bad.He even thought of some people he knew when he was still hanging around in Goulan Washi. When there was a fire in Zuiyu Tower, everyone died, and only he survived…
Counting the years, except for his mother-in-law, he should not be reincarnated yet. He doesn’t know who he might meet if he continues like this.
Then he thought of Xue Meng.
He remembered Xue Meng angrily trying to snatch the soul-inducing lamp from his hand, and he scolded him: “God of Plague!”
——”How do you deserve it? How do you have the face?”
Mo Ran held the soul lamp in his arms and walked slower and slower, finally stopping at the wall. His eyes couldn’t help but turn red. He looked down at the gentle golden light and murmured in a low voice:
“Master, do you…do you really not want to go back with me?”
The light didn’t answer, it just burned silently.
He stood there for a long time before gradually calming down.
In this vast underworld, he didn’t know where to find someone he knew. Suddenly he thought of Chu Xun, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ran to Shunfeng Building.
When he ran over there, the Shunfeng Building was about to close, and a masked ghost was about to close the door and lock it. Mo Ran hurriedly stopped and said in panic: “Sorry, please wait!”
“Is it you?”
The masked man was the one who led him upstairs before. He was stunned for a moment and said, “Why are you here again?”
“I have something urgent, please…” Mo Ran ran quickly, panting, his eyes bright and anxious, he swallowed and said hoarsely, “I want to see Mr. Chu Xun again.”
Chu Xun was in the pavilion, looking at a begonia flower in a narrow-mouthed white porcelain vase. He was surprised when he suddenly saw the ink burning away and then returning.
“Why is the young master back? But he can’t be found?”
Mo Ran said: “I found it, but I…I…”
Chu Xun saw that he was panic-stricken and anxious, as if he had something to hide, so he invited him into the room, closed the door, and said, “Sit down and talk.”
Mo Ran was worried that Chu Xun would notice something strange if he held the soul-inducing lamp in his hand, so he put it in the Qiankun bag.
He doesn’t think Chu Xun is an evil ghost, but if a living person enters the underworld, it’s better not to let the ghosts here know about it unless it is absolutely necessary.
“The young master went to the southeast?”
“Yeah.”
“…” Chu Xun thought for a moment and said, “Is it in the Sick Soul Pavilion?”
Mo Ran nodded, considered for a while and said: “Sir, I saw he in the Sick Soul Hall, but he was an incomplete earth soul. He could not move or speak. He was even different from other ghosts. He was translucent and could be seen but not touched.”
“The soul of the earth is damaged, and this is usually the case.” Chu Xun’s expression was a little gloomy, “Some undead souls who have been stimulated will also have their souls separated, and it will be difficult to reunite.”
Mo Ran bit his lips and muttered: “The medical officer of the Earth Soul Pavilion said that people with incomplete souls will have some shortcomings in their reincarnation. But the person I am looking for… was clearly in good health during his lifetime, so I wonder if there is something wrong.”
When he said this, he paused for a while and looked up at Chu Xun.
“Mr. Chu, is there anyone in this world who has two earth souls?”
Chu Xun was startled: “Two earth souls?”
“Yeah.”
He did not immediately deny the idea of removing Mo Ran like the medical clinic of the Sick Soul Pavilion. Instead, he lowered his eyes and pondered, thought carefully for a moment, and said: “I think… it is not impossible.”
The ink burned for a moment, and he raised his head suddenly, his eyes looking very bright in the dim candlelight in the room.
“Sir, are you serious?!”
Chu Xun nodded: “Ordinary people only have three souls and seven souls, but I once had a woman who had two consciousness souls.”
“Want to hear the details.”
Chu Xun shook his head, his eyelashes drooped and trembled slightly. After he was quiet for a while, he said: “It happened a long time ago, and I don’t want to mention it again. Now that woman has also sunk into the seventh hell and is suffering from torture. People whose souls are ill, once discovered by Yama, will be sent to the seventh hell and slowly peeled off.”
Hearing what he said, Mo Ran was even more worried, and the light was dim. He didn’t notice the pain in Chu Xun’s eyes, and asked: “Why does that woman have an extra consciousness soul? Normally, after seven heads, it only takes three souls and seven souls to reunite the soul. If someone has an extra earth soul, do they have to gather all four souls for it to be useful?”
“That’s how it should be.”
“The girl that the gentleman was talking about…”
“After she died, she was forced to go to the underworld because she was exploited by the Nine Kings…” Chu Xun paused, and slowly clenched his slender fingers on his knees into fists, “She went to the underworld and ate her biological child alive.”
“!” Mo Ran suddenly remembered the old events of Lin’an he had seen in the Peach Blossom Spring, and then realized that the “woman” in Chu Xun’s mouth was actually his wife. That should be the most painful past event in Chu Xun’s heart.
So Chu Xun is now staying in Nanke Township and not reincarnated. Could it be that he is waiting for his wife to peel off the excess soul, return from the seventh level, reunite with her, and go through reincarnation together?
Mo Ran suddenly couldn’t bear to ask any more questions.
Chu Xun no longer said, “I ate my biological child alive”, this short sentence, mentioned lightly again after two hundred years, even though he was a ghost, he couldn’t suppress the trembling in his throat.
he closes his eyes.
“The woman’s soul was chaotic and torn, and merged with the child’s soul.” After a long time, he continued slowly, “So what she had extra is actually the child’s soul, stuck between her three souls and seven souls, slowly assimilating with her, and finally completely derived into her appearance, making it difficult to separate.”
No matter whether this person is alive or dead, as long as someone asks him for help, he will always endure the pain and try his best to help others.
When Mo Ran saw this, he felt even more uncomfortable. He couldn’t explain clearly, so he had to say: “Sir, there is no need to elaborate further. I already understand it.”
“What I say these words is to tell you that if the Mr. Chu you are looking for really has two earth souls and another one, it should not be he.”
Mo Ran thought for a while and asked: “Is it impossible to be an earth soul, divided into two halves?”
“It’s possible, but in your situation, it’s impossible.”
“Why?”
Chu Xun said: “A soul is split into two halves. I have seen this kind of thing before, but that’s another story. Such people often commit heinous crimes and kill people like crazy. If the three souls cannot bear it, they will be broken. But in this case, the souls that are broken are the human souls in charge of good humanity, and they can never be the earth soul or the consciousness soul.”
“…So that’s it.” Mo Ran murmured.
Hearing that the crimes were extremely heinous and the killings were overwhelming, Mo Ran felt that he had nothing to do with Chu Wanning. Instead, he thought, when he really dies in this life and comes to the underworld, will the human soul split into two and get the retribution he deserves?
Chu Xun added: “What’s more, if it is really one soul and two halves, then the other half of the earth soul will definitely be unable to walk and will be sent to the sick soul hall. Since the young master only saw a damaged earth soul in the earth soul hall, I think the other one should be an intact soul and will be fine.”
When Mo Ran was mentioned by he, he suddenly felt enlightened and hurriedly said: “Thank you Mr. Chu! Then I…then I will look for it again!”
“Okay, Simon just pointed in the direction of the Pavilion of Sick Souls, and also moved to the northeast. Young Master, why not walk to the northeast and have a look, but the vast Nanke Township, coming and going, bustling with people, are all dead souls waiting to die…”
Chu Xun sighed.
Mo Ran looked at his gentle eyes, with a hint of pity, and knew in his heart what he wanted to say.
The vast Nanke Township is filled with thousands of homeless ghosts.
Even if you know you have to go northeast, how can you find a wisp of earth soul so easily.
If people are not destined, the lights are brightly lit and the streets are dark, and the two people pass each other, one facing east and the other facing west, without even seeing or glancing at each other.
Nowadays, it is even easier said than done in the silence and darkness.
But Chu Xun was still gentle after all. He raised his hand and patted Mo Ran on the shoulder: “The young master’s sincere heart will definitely meet him again.”
He’s appearance is very similar to that of Chu Wanning. When he said these words, candle tears flowed, the candlelight swayed, and his face was even more blurry.
In this blur, Mo Ran seems to have seen Chu Wanning’s gentle face, and seems to have heard Chu Wanning saying to him that we will meet again.
The ink burned for a moment and felt uncomfortable, and a layer of moist water vapor appeared in his eyes.
He hurriedly bowed his head and said hoarsely: “Thank you, sir.”
Chu Xun remained silent until Mo Ran turned around and left, closing the door for him. He still stood there stunned, with a trace of astonishment flashing in his phoenix eyes.
He… I just saw… there seemed to be tears in that young man’s eyes?
Ghosts don’t cry. Did he get it wrong?Or…
he turned around and looked at the bouquet of begonia flowers blooming quietly in the vase. It is extremely difficult for mortal flowers to suppress the yin energy of hell. Even though they were carefully cared for, a petal still floated and fell on the ancient wooden table.
Chu Xun walked over and twisted the fragrant petals. The flowers and leaves soon broke into pieces, fell into mud, crushed into powder, and scattered from the tips of his fingers.
“Someone is coming.”
“Mr. Chu.” Immediately, a masked man opened the door and came in, standing respectfully to the side.
Chu Xun did not look back. He looked at the Begonia flower and asked softly: “That person, have you been to Shunfeng Building again recently?”
“No, it’s still the same. Come once every ten days and bring a begonia flower. He doesn’t dare to enter the Shunfeng Building. He always asks someone to bring it to him from a distance.”
“…”
“Sir, what’s the matter? Is there something wrong with the young master who came just now? If that person dares to send people to bother you, I can ask Yama…”
“No.” Chu Xun came back to his senses, interrupted what he was saying, turned around and smiled lightly at his subordinates, sighed, “It’s nothing, he should not be sent by that person. Even if he is, that child just wants to find someone, and it has nothing to do with me.”
“But if he is the person who sent him to the ghost world, then why should Mr. -”
“Sin will not affect you.” Chu Xun, dressed like snow, stood quietly by the flower branches, “Let him go.”
The streets were desolate, and the ink burned out of the Shunfeng Building and headed northeast. He took Chu Wanning’s portrait and asked from door to door, but it was like finding a needle in a haystack, and he couldn’t find a reason.
Most of those who saw the portrait waved their hands, and some even refused to take a second look and avoided he.
“This person in the portrait? I’ve never seen him before.”
“I haven’t seen him before, so don’t disturb my business.”
“Stop blocking it! It’s so annoying! Can’t you see it’s so late! Get out, get out! What kind of portrait? You don’t want to see it! Take it away, take it away!”
Although the people in Nanke Township are all ghosts, these ghosts have not eradicated their emotions and desires and live together in groups. Most of them gradually returned to their human appearance.They will also find some friends and relatives during these ten or eight long years of waiting.No matter how hard it is to raise a dead cat or dog, in short, we must live like a mortal.Therefore, although they do not need sleep, they will lie back on the bed to rest when the moon is above the willow branches.
As night falls, no one wants to talk to him, and no one can give him any information or a clear path.
On the endless streets in the northeast, he visited door by door and courtyard by himself, with his head lowered and a sad smile…
“I said it all!! I saw it wrong! After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this person is not the one in the painting at all. Can you please stop being annoying!”
This bearded man is ready to rest with his wife and children in the ghost world and close the courtyard door.
He came back from outside earlier, and Mo Ran met him on the street, and asked him if he had seen the person in the portrait. He thought for a while and said that he seemed to have seen him near Dongshi a few days ago, but his wife winked at him, and he immediately stopped talking, as if he had realized something, and immediately waved his hand and said he didn’t know.
Mo Ran felt that he was clear, so he was unwilling to give up. He begged for he all the way and followed him to the door.
The man roughly pressed he against the door, pulled on the wooden bolt, and said anxiously: “Can you think about it again? Where is Dongshi? Where did the people in the painting go? Please…”
“I don’t know!”
A group of ghosts around heard the noise and looked here, while the man roared in a rough voice, regardless of whether Mo Ran’s hand was still on the door frame, trying to close the door fiercely.
My fingers were pinched so hard that it hurt my heart.But he didn’t care, he just held on, unwilling to pull his fingers out of the crack in the door that was gradually closing, but tried his best to push and break it——
“Excuse me, please think about it again. I just want to know where he went afterwards…”
But the man opened the door suddenly, and didn’t notice that Mo Ran’s fingers were pinched with blood. He pushed the person hard, and then shouted: “I said I don’t know, but I just don’t know! Get out!”
