Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 613 I'm a Ghost in the Underworld, Generation 2, Part 29

"Again, Ma Family Village?"

"Yes."

With a normal shift schedule and ample time, the Black and White Impermanence can chat for a while about the person they are tasked with and analyze potential risks and difficulties.

The place they were going to this time was relatively familiar; it was Ma Family Village, where Qingze was brought back and the female lead was born.

usually,

Both the Black and White Impermanence had to deal with the more troublesome and difficult list of names first.

Generally, it's someone with an extraordinary destiny who needs to be welcomed back from the very beginning; or it's a mishap caused by an unpredictable ghost, leaving behind unresolved issues or a place fraught with calamities.

Qingze belongs to the former category; his merits have overflowed, and the underworld needs such an existence to offset its performance targets.

Interestingly, the indescribable confusion that Qingze felt when he heard Xia Youmi's explanation of colors on the battlefield was actually his own; the answer lies within the riddle itself.

Why can the underworld deal with the forgotten souls on the battlefield "without mercy"?

Simply put, the entire operating mechanism of the underworld relies on positive merit. Only by accumulating enough merit can one send someone into reincarnation, thus ensuring that these virtuous people have a relatively good foundation for their next life.

This is a well-established cycle. The incense offerings made in the human world serve as an extra subsidy, helping those waiting for reincarnation in the underworld to increase their chances of reincarnation.

The more someone is remembered and respected, the more "revenue" the underworld receives from their extra attention, even if they have less merit and achievements.

There is also a smaller group of people, namely those with extraordinary destiny. All of these people are given benefits in return. For example, Ji Jun and others are treated well, and the Heavenly Court will provide equivalent compensation to the Underworld.

It's not as simple as just bribing a few lowly officials to gain access to all areas.

The small movements below are all just grains of sand that have been left behind by default.

The needs of the underworld cannot be simply compared to money, because even the poor can return with a body full of merit because of their kindness, good intentions and good deeds.

For ordinary people without any foundation, the underworld will receive their merits and then invest a certain amount of energy to help them operate.

If someone has committed numerous evil deeds, they must first be punished to force them to reform.

If all else fails, it transforms into a mindless entity, becoming the air, candlelight, moss, etc., that governs the operation of the underworld—at least it has some use.

In comparison, the underworld is a rare example of fairness in the Three Realms, serving as the last line of defense and providing a place for the karmic retribution in the human world to be vented.

Merit is not something that only goes in and never goes out; it's like airplane fuel, which is consumed to start the engine.

This is a standard that our predecessors fought for, a result of countless struggles for interests.

Developed to now,

Human nature is no longer simply righteous. After the merits and demerits are balanced, the ordinary person's remaining energy is so thin that it is almost impossible to sustain their life.

Being worshipped by the living and offered sacrifices by family members became the most convenient and least costly means.

Compared to merit-based methods that require addition, subtraction, and comparison, this type of evidence collection is more convenient and has already formed a complete process.

The documents assigned to the ghost messengers clearly indicate the deceased's classification at a glance.

Those who are not properly buried are already lacking in compensation. If their good deeds cannot outweigh their sins throughout their lives, they will be considered negative figures in the underworld, and no one will be willing to spend the resources they have collectively nurtured to provide for them.

Handing it over to the Black and White Impermanence to retrieve is already considered benevolent.

At least we won't miss the forgotten lotus.

He could understand Qingze's empathy; he hadn't forgotten the hardships of being human. But the existence of the Underworld and its standards of judgment were the result of many choices. If it weren't for them, and if they hadn't done it, the extinction of humanity would have been even more cruel.

These things have already been verified by our ancestors.

He is one of the very few people who believe that he has accumulated great merit in all his reincarnations.

Even more rare is that, for some reason, he suffered hardship in every lifetime. His merit book seemed to be frightened by the overflowing number, causing him to be forgotten and unable to be reborn into a stable and good family to enjoy a peaceful life.

therefore,

The fact that Qingze was personally invited back by the Black and White Impermanence suggests that they value him and want to give him a fair trial in his reincarnation. As a result, Xia Youmi and the others didn't pay much attention to him, but they stayed in the Underworld according to Qingze's wishes, which probably means that things were settled.

His ability to stand out from the preparatory camp was due not only to his talent but also to the factor of compensation. The gods are not stupid; such beings, given special and patient guidance, will only bring benefits no matter what position they hold.

In just three years,

He lived up to expectations.

The reason why Qingze Chaying and Ji Jun were able to become representatives of the Underworld was not simply because they were already special.

Although receiving special training does not guarantee that you will be selected.

If they are not outstanding and cannot pass the countless tests, the underworld would rather not send them than randomly stuff them in.

at the moment,

They have successfully entered the mountain. The journey took three months, and the stay inside for a full month means they were not rejected by the spiritual veins.

It's estimated that the fastest team will be back in less than two months, while the slowest will need half a year or even longer.

If one gains insight, it is normal to go into seclusion and cultivate oneself.

only,

At this sensitive juncture, the teams escorting the trial participants from various places returned one after another, leaving only a few guards from the Three Realms Wheel Sect. Unexpected events often occur at this time.

At this time, Xia Youmi and Xiao Hei came to Majia Village again.

It's rare for someone to go to the same small place so often. Besides, the person who needs to be taken away isn't like Qingze, but belongs to the latter category, either because the impermanent little devil couldn't lure them or because it's a place of three calamities and eight difficulties.

Xia Youmi and Xiao Hei became wary, flipping through the documents back and forth, afraid that something might have been overlooked, and it was hard to say whether it was a conspiracy against someone.

just,

All the guesses became clear as soon as we arrived at the place.

It's not related to Qingze, but to the female lead.

......

"Fulu! I want Fulu!"

"Don't let her go!"

A slightly piercing, demonic sound echoed throughout the corpse-filled space.

"What's going on?" Xiao Hei asked, somewhat bewildered. The people in front of him were a pair of souls that the impermanent little ghost couldn't bring back, and they were clinging to each other tightly.

They can be taken away together on the same day and at the same location, but the little devil can't bring them back; the magical artifact is blocked by something.

resignedly,

Since the deceased souls showed no intention of fleeing, the task was assigned to the Black and White Impermanence after the little ghosts reported it. However, all the documents only described their life achievements and did not mention any special formations or involvement in any shady dealings.

There was no sign of evil spirits nearby. After Qingze passed away and was enshrined, the area enjoyed good weather and abundant harvests for the next three years.

Aside from the fact that the old couple who deliberately left him in the cellar left in a somewhat disheveled state, and their descendants were scattered, the overall atmosphere was still quite proper.

The place is still austere, but the morale and atmosphere are good.

The female protagonist's parents were just honest, unassuming ordinary people who escorted her until she attained enlightenment.

Then,

Events that require the intervention of the Black and White Impermanence (the spirits of death in Chinese mythology) and are difficult to define seem somewhat abrupt.

Fortunately, by analyzing the context, Niannian still came to the answer. Similar to the roles of Qingze, Xia Youmi, and others in the main storyline, they were not directly mentioned, or they had other aliases.

It belongs to the category of characters with very few scenes, but who are involved in driving the plot forward.

These are all closely related to the female lead's several emotional progressions.

This brings us to the connection between Xia Youmi and the female lead. They met in their first, traceable life, as neighbors across the hall. Their parents had a decent relationship, but weren't particularly close.

Back then, people mostly associated with their clans, and being a decent neighbor was considered a kind person.

But the world of children is different. Without the conveniences of boys, girls can only rely on this meager interaction.

They formed a friendship and cherished it.

As she grew up, but before she reached marriageable age, Xia Youmi died saving the female lead. This had a negative impact at the time, but not wanting to ruin the female lead's marriage, the Xia family compromised, took the funeral expenses, and left.

Because the matter was handled quickly and quietly, the female protagonist didn't notice anything for a short time. By the time she realized that it was her neighbor's sister who had brought her peace, it was too late, and she couldn't even wallow in her grief.

She was pregnant at the time, and due to restrictions, she had to bury her longing for Youmi deep in her heart.

Even until his passing, he remembered this person.

later,

Xia Youmi has lived seven lifetimes, but due to the brevity of her life, the female protagonist has only just been reincarnated into her fourth life.

They never met again.

Xia Youmi regained her memories after becoming a ghost immortal, but saving the female lead was nothing special. She saved many people later on, so she didn't care about it at all and focused on being her impermanent servant.

Later, when the original story begins, the protagonist meets the female lead, which is already part of the main plot, and their social status has long since changed.

Xia Youmi is still a ghost immortal, the Black and White Impermanence.

The female lead is already a rising star in the immortal realm and is currently gaining experience in various places.

She took the initiative to find Xia Youmi because, after becoming a fairy, she roughly remembered the changes in her neighbor's mindset during these reincarnations.

At first, there was gratitude, then lingering memories, then fading memories, and then a sense of bewilderment, because a similar person appeared, and the connection between them was even stronger.

In order to avoid any regrets, he transferred his guilt towards the girl next door to the newcomer.

Gradually, flesh and blood grew.

Moreover, the newcomer became entangled with her in subsequent lifetimes and gradually became the main character, while her sister's existence became blurred, and her cherished companions gradually became clear.

No one can be blamed for this process; Xia Youmi didn't care at all.

but,

After several difficult reincarnations, the female protagonist discovers that her companions were left behind when she set sail.

What she found unacceptable was that she also learned that her friend's fate would be unfortunate, and that he might not be able to reincarnate.

So the female protagonist approached Xia Youmi, hoping that Xia Youmi could facilitate the other party's reincarnation. Perhaps, given the example of ghost immortals like Ji Jun jumping up, the female protagonist hoped that the other party could also become an immortal.

Amidst the chaos everywhere, the underworld is not the only option, but the female protagonist holds great hope because this is her sister who is willing to sacrifice herself for her.

I've missed my sister for so long.

It might be important from the female lead's perspective, but for Xia Youmi, it was all just nonsense.

She refused, decisively and cleanly.

Even as the female protagonist's status rose higher and higher, and she made great contributions, seemingly destined for greatness, her actions were justified and accompanied by an aura of hope for change.

But even the White Impermanence refused to help.

There was no effort to even get a word in edgewise with the King of Hell.

Given the abilities of the male and female leads, they could easily cause a real fight.

just,

She took Xia Youmi's promise very seriously.

This led the female protagonist to rethink her relationships and gain some insights. In the end, Qingze noticed this and, out of appreciation for her talent, or for reasons unknown, out of consideration for her being a fellow townsman and successor, stepped in to help her.

Unexpected benefits also came back to Qingze.

The main theme is complete fulfillment.

And by peeling back the layers...

The person Fukuro, who is being held onto by the three-year-old girl right now, might be that person.
