My enemies became my companions

Chapter 338 disappears into thin air
The mist is thick and the underworld is dark.

Deng Ai wanted a bowl of Meng Po soup so that he could forget the past, enter the cycle of reincarnation, and let go of his resentment as the lord of ghosts.

Memory may be a torture for him, but everyone has his own destiny, and Chen Yi didn't say much about it. Since a bowl of Meng Po soup can help one pass through the gates of hell, then he would get a bowl of Meng Po soup.

So, Yin Weiying thought of the ghost woman selling Meng Po soup and suggested turning back.

Chen Yi also thought it was feasible. If they went to Naihe Bridge, the journey would be long and full of dangers. Instead of doing that, it would be better to go back and find the ghost woman who sold Mengpo Soup privately.

Then, they walked back for nearly ten days and arrived at the place that went deep into the underworld from the back mountain of Prince Jing's Mansion. Looking up, they could see the land of the underworld, but they could not see the figure of the ghost woman for a while.

The wind is cold and lonely, and the scene is hazy in the mist.

After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find where the person had gone.

Has she sold all ninety-nine bowls of Meng Po soup?

Both of them couldn't help but speculate. If that was the case, then they had made a wasted trip.

Unable to find the person for a while, Yin Weiying began to calculate the hexagrams, and the hexagrams were stable, proving that the person was still there.

So the two of them continued looking.

Finally, they found it.

The ghost woman was not somewhere else but outside that door, the door to the back mountain of Prince Jing’s Mansion, the door connecting Yin and Yang.

She was startled when Chen Yi and Yin Weiying found her.

Then, she picked up the wooden barrel and said with a forced smile:
"I'm selling Meng Po soup. Do you want some? There are exactly two bowls. You can form a pair and go on the journey... No, do you want some anyway?"

Seeing Chen Yi and the others turning back, the ghost woman vaguely felt that they would definitely ask for Meng Po soup.

“Just one bowl.”

Chen Yi's answer made her half happy and half surprised.

The ghost woman made a bitter face and said, "Why don't you take both bowls? It's okay whether you drink them or not. You can keep one bowl as a backup."

Yin Weiying glanced at her warily.

"Fairy, please don't exorcise demons."

The ghost woman shrank back and said repeatedly:

"One bowl is just one bowl. At most, I can wait for hundreds or thousands of years to see who will be persuaded by me and who will accept my kindness."

Chen Yi looked at her for a while and said:
"How about two bowls?"

The ghost woman was delighted. Before Chen Yi could say anything else, fearing that he would refuse, she held out two bowls of Meng Po soup with both hands and handed them to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi took out some paper money from his arms and handed it to her.

As she collected them, she boasted:
"The Mengpo soup at Naihe Bridge is different from mine. Mine is much better."

"What's the difference?"

"It will be sweeter if you add sugar."

The ghost woman covered her mouth and smiled sweetly.

She seemed very happy, and that joy could not stop flowing out, infecting others, and even Yin Weiying, who was very wary of her, relaxed a little.

Chen Yi stared at the woman of unknown origin, wondering how long she had been here.

Hundreds of years, thousands of years? Or hundreds or thousands of years on earth?
He suddenly asked:
"Why do you want to go out so badly?"

"I told you I want to see the sun." The ghost girl chuckled and replied, "I have been staying in this underworld all my life. I really want to go out and see it."

"Is that it?" Yin Weiying asked in confusion.

"Actually, there's more to it than that...it seems like there's more to it than that."

The ghost girl turned her head and looked at the tightly closed bronze door with a long gaze.

“I feel like there are so many things waiting for me out there.

There are so many… things waiting for me that I don’t remember before…”

Her voice dropped slightly. This woman, now only a soul, could no longer remember many things.

Chen Yi followed her gaze for a while.

The ghost girl turned her head back at this time, collected her thoughts, looked at Yin Weiying, looked at Chen Yi, she had been waiting for an unknown period of time, and now that she had finally found this last customer, she was in a good mood and said cheerfully:

"You must be very much in love with each other."

Chen Yi was surprised.

Yin Weiying on the side was also stunned, his eyes dropped and his expression became complicated.

Taking in the nun's expression from the corner of his eye, Chen Yi asked with a smile:

"Why do you say that?"

"I think... you two complement each other very well and seem to be suitable for each other." The ghost woman said softly.

Chen Yi pondered for a while and said, "That's not bad."

The ghost woman gave him a blessing smile.

Chen Yi glanced at the silent female priest and said in a lighter voice, "We are engaged."

The nun suddenly raised her eyes, an indescribable feeling passed through her, and finally she responded softly: "Yes." "Congratulations, congratulations to you."

The ghost woman smiled, very brightly, as if she saw lovers finally get married.

"When can I have your wedding banquet?"

Chen Yi hesitated and said vaguely: "I don't know when."

This was not wrong. He had not discussed the specific time with Prince Jing's Mansion or Yin Weiying.

But even though the answer was vague, the ghost girl was still like eating wedding candy. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Yin Weiying and smiled:

"Girl, do you like her?"

Yin Weiying didn't know how to answer. He asked himself if he liked her at all. Instead, he was gradually falling for her. He chuckled and said:
"He likes me."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

Yin Weiying was a little scared, so he said softly:
"Okay, let's leave it at that. It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."

The ghost woman winked at Chen Yi and said in a smart manner:

"She doesn't admit that she likes you."

Chen Yi laughed, did not answer, turned around and pecked the nun on the face.

The ghost woman screamed.

Yin Weiying blushed and muttered to himself:
How could I possibly like it?

Her fingertips touched the kiss mark casually and then quickly put it down.

After greeting this last customer, the ghost woman gently put down the wooden barrel. A breeze blew, making her already blurry face even more hazy.

She turned slowly.

Chen Yi couldn't help but say:
"Hey, are you really leaving?"

The ghost woman was surprised, looked back and nodded.

"Will... vanish into thin air, right? You are just a soul and a spirit, it would be better for you to reincarnate." Chen Yi said after a slight hesitation.

How can a ghost like her withstand the turmoil of the human world?
Even evil ghosts that wreak havoc on the world dare not stay in the sun for too long, for fear of burning their bones and souls. If they are not careful, their souls will disappear between heaven and earth.

"I know. If I were to reincarnate, I would forget many things and many people."

The ghost woman nodded seriously and said:
"As long as I remember, I really wanted to see it, even if it would disappear like you said...

If I don’t remember what I want to do most, then what’s the point of doing it?”

Chen Yi frowned slightly. He had a good impression of this ghost woman, but... they were just casual acquaintances and she was just a stranger in a foreign land.

So in the end he just spit out, "Okay."

The ghost girl smiled widely and waved at the two of them.
"Goodbye, I hope to see you next time and you will be married."

Yin Weiying waved his hand slightly, and Chen Yi opened his mouth, and finally said with tenderness in his eyes:

"Then...goodbye."

The ghost woman had turned around completely and was walking towards the bronze door step by step.

Chen Yi watched her figure gradually walk away. In the corridor, only a figure as small as a mustard seed was left.

Then, the door was slowly pushed open.

One day on earth is one year underground. More than ten days have passed since Chen Yi and Yin Weiying entered the underworld. At this time, the sky can be seen turning pale.

A ray of morning light passed through the interlaced trees and fell in.

The ghost woman raised her hands and walked towards the sunlight.

She raised her head and finally saw the ray of sunlight.

It was so hot that she was shaking all over.

She just stood there, staring at the ray of sunlight, bathing in it.

"Oh, so the sunlight is like this, it hurts so much, it's so hot..."

Her lips moved, but no sound came out. She looked down and found that she had collapsed.

“It turns out that it really will vanish into thin air…”

Gradually collapsing and gradually disappearing.

At this moment, she remembered something, turned her head suddenly, and stretched out her hand to grab something, but the hand in the air had already dissipated little by little.

Her figure seemed to be drifting in the wind, becoming thinner and thinner, like a small fish that had reached its end and was no longer able to swim.

Yin Weiying couldn't bear to watch any longer, and Chen Yi's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. The boundary between the human world and the underworld was there, and she was also standing there. That was the direction they were heading into the underworld.

Finally, there was nothing there.

Yes, she finally saw the sun,
So…it just vanished into thin air.

When she was on the verge of death, she remembered that her last name was Yin.

And in the coffin not far away was her body.
