C19 Chapter 19 Yun Yan's past Life Was like a Disaster

Yun Yan looked at Qin Ji with some heartache. Although she had lost her parents since she was born, it was fortunate that her master had been taking care of her all these years. Although she did not have a luxurious life, she had never been wronged.

Yun Yan said, "I didn't expect that your life would be so miserable. I was rude to you on the mountain. It's my fault."

Qin Ji looked at the sky outside the inn. It was still dark outside. She sighed and said, "This is the first time I told someone about this. I have a reputation in the Netherworld. There are a few people who are not afraid to talk about Qin Ji."

Yun Yan said, "Have you ever thought about reincarnating?"

Qin Ji smiled and rubbed the cup with her finger. "I have been living a hard life. There's nothing bad about being a ghost. Look."

As she spoke, Qin Ji took out the Bone Flute from her waist and said, "Look at this flute. It was given to me by an eminent monk two hundred years ago. It's called the Bone Flute."

Yun Yan said, "Bone Flute?"

Qin Ji said, "Yes, the Bone Flute. This flute is made of the bones of an eminent monk. After collecting the ashes of a hundred people, he would be able to communicate with them. If he has any unfulfilled wishes, he can obtain the answer he wants through the Bone Flute."

Yun Yan asked, "That's amazing. I always thought that you were holding a jade flute. So it's a Bone Flute."

Qin Ji continued, "The only thing that is bad about being a ghost is that we can't stay under the sun for too long. Otherwise, our skin will be burned. We don't need to eat or sleep. Even Bodhisattva has descended to the mortal world to experience tribulation. He is still entangled with a ghost. If it's bad, how could he bear to give up his position? But in the end, he died a miserable death. The two of them fell into the River of Forgetfulness."

Yun Yan did not know why Qin Ji would suddenly bring up the matter of the Bodhisattva. She just nodded silently. Maybe she was just sighing with emotion.

A demon and a ghost sat at the table and chatted for half a night. The candles on the table were all burned out. The candlewick struggled for a while before it finally extinguished, leaving behind a wisp of faint green smoke. The inn was plunged into darkness. Yun Yan felt a cold air brush past her body, and then she lost consciousness.

After an unknown period of time, Yun Yan opened her eyes. Her vision gradually became clear. Only then did she see clearly that she was currently in a dark place. Below her was a thin layer of straw. When she moved, the straw below her would make a slight sound.

She was in a very small room, and there was a person tied up around her. Actually, he was not sure whether the person beside him was a person or something. He temporarily thought that he was a person. Only then did Yun Yan realize that her hands were tied behind her back. The person beside her was the same. His hands were tied up, and his mouth and eyes were covered in black cloth. When he heard Yun Yan's movement, he started to cry out, as if he was saying something.

Yun Yan looked at him and tried her best to get close to him. She helped him untie the binding on his hands. The man then removed the cloth around his eyes and mouth. A handsome young man appeared in front of Yun Yan. He quickly untied Yun Yan's hands and said to her with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

Yun Yan nodded with a smile.

The young man said, "I'm Ruojie. When it was dark, I wanted to come in and sleep, but I didn't expect to be tied up here. This is a black shop, a black shop."

Yun Yan smiled and said, "It's not a black shop, but a Netherworld."

Ruojie said with a surprised look, "I have seen black shops and white shops. What is a Netherworld?"

Yun Yan explained with a helpless face, "Netherworld is a shop opened by people from the Netherworld, commonly known as a ghost shop."

Only then did Ruojie come to a realization. He impatiently brushed the strand of hair on his forehead behind his head, but after trying twice, he failed. He decided not to care about the hair on his forehead anymore. "So it's a ghost shop. I was wondering why there was an inn in this desolate mountain and wilderness. The moment I entered, I felt gloomy. Have you seen the waiter who greeted the guests? That person is really ugly."

Then Ruojie asked curiously, "I've said it for so long, but I still don't know your name."

Yun Yan said, "I'm Yun Yan, the Yun of the clouds, and the Yan of the Yan."

Ruojie said, "Oh, so you're called Yun Yan. Your name is not bad."

This man called Ruojie muttered to himself for a long time. Yun Yan felt that he had said enough. Now that he saw Ruojie, she felt that she was at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, Ruojie shouted. Yun Yan quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "You're shouting so loudly. Are you afraid that they don't know that your mouth has been opened?"

Ruojie chuckled and said, "I forgot that we are still locked up here."

Yun Yan said, "What is your name?"

Ruojie stretched out his hands to show Yun Yan. Yun Yan looked at him and said, "What do you want me to see?"

Ruojie said grievously, "My Little Jie, my Little Jie is gone." Then, he searched the house again and returned to Yun Yan's side dejectedly. "It's gone, it's gone, my Little Jie is gone."

Yun Yan sighed and said, "Your Little Jie? Who's your Little Jie?"

Ruojie said, "Little Jie, it's my Little Jie. It has been with me since I was born. We have never been apart."

Yun Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be sad."

Ruojie had a helpless and somewhat disgusted expression as he said, "Little Jie is my sword. What do you think it is? Don't think too much."

Yun Yan snorted lightly and said, "You've been calling it Little Jie. I thought he was a human and didn't know how to comfort you. That's why I called you 'Don't be sad'. You really are kind to a dog."

Ruojie almost jumped up and said, "Who are you calling a dog? I'm a tiger, the fiercest white tiger."

Yun Yan crossed his arms and sat back on the straw. He smiled and nodded. "Oh, so you are a white tiger. Isn't a white tiger fierce? How did you get captured by a little ghost?"

Ruojie was instantly rendered speechless by Yun Yan's question. "That's right. I'm a white tiger. How could I be captured by a little ghost?"

Then he swallowed a mouthful of water and said, "Why? Aren't you still captured?" He then sniffed Yun Yan's body and said with a smile, "Why? You don't look like a human either. What are you? A demon or an immortal?"

Then he started to guess seriously, "If it's a demon, the demonic aura on your body is very faint. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to smell it. If it's an immortal, then it doesn't seem like it either."

Yun Yan nodded and shook her head, "You are right, but you're wrong."

Ruojie said in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"

Yun Yan said, "I'm a half-demon, but my master is an immortal. Since I was born, I have been cultivating immortal techniques. It is not wrong for you to smell the scent of a demon and an immortal on me, so I said that you are right, but you're wrong."

Hearing this, Ruojie became interested. He went up to Yun Yan and asked curiously, "What is a half-demon? Half a demon, and what is the other half?"
