If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 251 Prince Fu’s Mansion

The first time I stepped into the gray fog, it felt like I was entering a cave.

After walking two more steps, the cave became narrower, as if it had changed from a cave to a tomb passage.
In fact, Xiaoyu's spiritual eye directly saw the tombstone outside. The tombstone was three meters high, with large characters engraved on it - "The Monument of the Loyal, Respectful, Honest, Upright, Diligent, Cautious, and Incorruptible King Fu". The handwriting was vigorous, powerful, ancient and heavy.

The stone tablet was carried by a stone turtle.

She pretended not to see the tombstone and continued walking along the tomb passage until she entered the interior of the tomb. The scenery in front of her suddenly opened up and a prosperous and bustling market suddenly appeared in front of her.

The street and the buildings on both sides looked familiar to Xiaoyu.

It looks like a street scene somewhere on Xianyang Street in Tianmen Town, but not exactly the same.

"Look, there's another living person coming in."

There are passers-by, vendors, and shops on the street. At first glance, they look no different from living people.

"She's still a little girl who looks ordinary, not like a master."

"Idiot, this is Yu Fengxian, the Yu Fengxian who kills ghosts like crazy!"

"Ah, it's the evil star Yu Fengxian, she - ah, she's looking over here, run~~~"

Even his habit of watching the excitement and gossiping behind people's backs is exactly the same as that of ordinary people in Tianmen Town.

If they were ordinary people, they really couldn't tell the difference between them and living people.

But Xiaoyu could tell at a glance that this world lacked color and light.

Judging from the appearance of the "people", none of them has a rosy face, and none of them has bright and shining eyes.

Both the people and the street scenes are covered with a light gray hue.

But compared to ordinary ghosts, they have very little resentment and their yin energy is very pure.

It was different from living people, and even more different from the vengeful ghosts she had seen.

"What are you afraid of? I am the righteous and righteous Yu Fengxian!" Xiao Yu shouted.

"We all know your reputation as a righteous man. But you are also a vicious and evil killer. You have killed many ghosts at such a young age." An old ghost selling night candy shouted.

"I do not have."

The old ghost said, "You did! You killed Ge Qing and Zhang San. Zhang San's parents cried every day. Everyone saw and heard it."

"Chapter Three?"

Xiaoyu had to think back for a while before she could remember the other ghost who died in the assassination case in Baxia Hutong.

That night she killed two ghost messengers and sixteen living people. The living people turned into dead ghosts and the ghost messengers were frightened to death.

Out of the eighteen bastards, only eight were finally selected as heavenly soldiers.

Ge Qing became a heavenly soldier, but the other ghost messenger was not qualified and was still in a state of being torn apart, and did not enjoy the soul-restoring elixir from the Tushita Palace.

"Where are Zhang San's parents crying?" Xiao Yu asked.

"He was begging and crying on the street. When Zhang San was alive, the couple lived a comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing. After Zhang San died, the Zhang family became extinct and there was no one to mourn them. They were left alone in their old age and had to wander the streets. It was so miserable." The old ghost sighed.

"Zhang San's parents also live in this blessed land? His Royal Highness Prince Fu's blessed land, you can come in as you please?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

She didn't even need to ask around, she could be 100% sure that Zhang San's parents could not be buried in the back mountain of Qinghe Villa.

The Feng Shui treasure land at the back mountain belongs to the Li family, which belonged to a prince in the previous dynasty who was named "Prince of Fu".

"Tianmen Town was the fief of His Royal Highness Prince Fu. Isn't it allowed for people to enter and exit?" said the old man.

Xiao Yu asked: "Are there any of you who died unjustly? You were obviously a good person, but you were killed by a bad guy?"

"Those who died unjustly have long been sent to the City of the Dead. We can live in a blessed land, which means that it is mostly a normal cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death. We did not do any great evil in our lives, and we don't have much resentment when we die." said a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

"I see." Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Seeing Zhang San's parents crying, you feel sorry for them.

But can't you feel sympathy and empathy for the good people who died unjustly?
I am a good person. If a good person is going to be killed by a bad person, shouldn't I draw my sword and kill the bad person and the evil ghost?"

"Zhang San is actually not that bad," whispered an old lady who was dressed very neatly.

"Auntie, look at your brand new lake green jacket. It looks like you've lived a pretty good life as a ghost. Your descendants in the world of the living must be very filial, right?
If someone in the world of the living killed them and sent their souls here to reunite with you, would you think that would be a good idea?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The old woman with a kind face and neat clothes immediately changed her appearance. Her figure suddenly grew one meter taller and expanded in size. A smoky and eerie air emanated from her body. Her expression and face were not distorted, but it changed from a kind woman's face in the sun to a cold and vicious face with special lighting in a horror movie.

"If you dare to harm my grandson, I will fight you to the death~~~" Her roar formed a circle of air waves in the street, blowing the banners in front of the shops and the hair and skirts of passers-by into flying pieces.

Xiaoyu was the first to be hit. He only showed a surprised expression, his body standing still.

“There is really no difference between humans and ghosts. Their bad natures are exactly the same, but there are also huge differences between humans and ghosts.

When a common man gets angry, he is still a common man; when a ghost gets angry, the sky and the earth change color, resentment is added, and the negative energy surges.
Alas, it is said that humans are the creatures that heaven and earth love, but now it seems that humans are inferior to ghosts in many aspects. "

She was still there, shaking her head and sighing, with a faint bloody aura around her, which made the "face-changing ghost woman" glare at her with a gloomy look, but she didn't dare to approach.

"Who is causing trouble on the streets of Xianyang?"

A loud shout came from behind, followed by the sound of strong horses galloping.

"Haha, what a nice paper general, what a nice paper horse!" Xiaoyu turned around and couldn't help laughing.

In the eyes of normal people (ghosts), the person galloping from the other end of the street is a majestic knight.

A two-meter-tall warhorse covered in iron armor, a mighty general who can compete with the gods in heaven in terms of appearance.

It is awe-inspiring to look at.

But Xiaoyu saw through his true appearance, which was a paper horse and a paper general. The sight of them galloping on horseback was very funny, but the expressions of the paper horse and the general were very rich, which made people laugh even more.

"Old woman, why are you committing a crime in the street?"

The general glanced at Xiaoyu and directed his anger at the "face-changing witch".

"General Sun, you have to do something for me. This damn Yu Fengxian wants to go to the human world to kill my grandson's entire family." The witch once again "changed her face" and turned from a boss in a horror movie into an old lady dancing in the square.

At this time, the middle-aged scholar ghost took two steps closer and complained, "Miss Yu is just telling you to 'put yourself in someone else's shoes', why are you so crazy?"

General Sun, who was a paper figure, even made a subtle frowning expression. He jumped off his horse first, saluted Xiao Yu respectfully, and then whispered: "Fairy Yu, humans and ghosts are different. What are you, a living person, doing mixing with a group of ghosts? Go quickly, His Royal Highness Prince Fu and Prince Xianzhi are waiting for you!"

"Actually, it's not bad to talk nonsense to ghosts occasionally." Having said that, Xiaoyu did not continue to talk nonsense with the "face-changing ghost woman".

"General Sun, can I ride your horse?"

She saw through the true nature of the war horses and generals, but had a vague feeling that they were not ordinary paper-cut figures.

"My 'Ao Feng' has a very fierce temper, Fairy Yu, you have to be careful."

General Sun hesitated for a moment and handed over the reins.

"Don't worry, I'm a good rider and I won't get hurt."

Xiaoyu took the reins and jumped onto the horse's back. It felt almost the same as a real horse in the world of the living.

General Sun patted the horse's head gently to calm it down. "I'm not worried about you, Fairy. I'm worried about my Ao Feng. It has a hot temper and doesn't listen. If you use too much force, you might hurt it."

Xiao Yu rode a tall horse for a few steps and said in surprise: "Your Ao Feng is so spiritual, and you walk more steadily than the Xiaoyao horse in the world of the living."

A horse that is specially trained for princes and nobles to walk steadily without bumps is called a Xiaoyao horse.

More stable than the Xiaoyao Horse, this paper horse can be considered a "Rolls-Royce" in terms of height.

Of course, General Sun, this "paper general", is more spiritual and extraordinary.

General Sun was very happy to hear Xiao Yu's praise, and said with a smile: "If it wasn't so stubborn, it would have become the prince's mount long ago. It's so well behaved today, it must know that Fairy Yu is not easy to mess with, hahahaha."

Look at this reaction, listen to these words, how can they be made of paper or spoken by a paper man?
Xiaoyu felt more and more puzzled and wanted to ask, "How can you, a paper figure, look more like a human than a living ghost?"

If she had not experienced the little incident with the "face-changing ghost woman", she would have asked directly.

Now she doesn't dare to speak without restraint.

The ghost looked like a human, but the "ghost face" changed too quickly and she couldn't grasp it.

She admired General Sun who lent her his horse for fun, and didn't want him to change his face and deform in the street.

"General, why don't these ghosts reincarnate?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"They are not dead yet, why do they need to reincarnate?" said General Sun.

"They have all become ghosts, but they are not dead yet?" Xiaoyu said with a smile.

General Sun also laughed and said, "It's true that they have become ghosts, but ghosts also have a lifespan. It's not time for them to reincarnate until their lifespan ends."

Xiao Yu asked: "When did His Royal Highness Prince Fu pass away? How many years of life do you have left?"

General Sun thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember clearly. I was not among the first batch of funerary objects buried with the deceased, so I don't know what happened before that.

It has been about one hundred and fifty years since I can remember.

Ordinary ghosts have a 'ghost lifespan', but our King Fu is the master of the blessed land, an immortal-like existence, with a lifespan equal to that of heaven and earth, and an endless ghost lifespan."

Xiaoyu disagrees with the statement that "Prince Fu lives as long as the sky".

But the other party is just a funerary object, there is no point in arguing with him about this.

She asked cautiously, "Do you know that you are a ghost?"

General Sun laughed and said, "If you don't even know your origins, what kind of person are you?"

——Who do you think you are? At most, you are a very sober ghost.

Xiao Yu muttered to himself, and said: "But I think the general is almost the same as a human being, even more 'human' than many ghosts."

General Sun asked in return: "Are humans the only living creatures in the world?"

Xiao Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "There are demons and monsters in the world of the living. Animals, wood, and stone can all become spirits by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon."

General Sun nodded slightly, "There are spirits in the world of the living, and there are also spirits in the underworld.

Our underworld objects are somewhat different from the monsters in the world of the living.

The monsters in the world originally did not have human form, but gradually they developed spirituality and cultivated into human form.

Our funerary objects have their own shapes and appearances, and have had a faint spirituality from the beginning, and can protect their owners.

When serving the master, I was infected with the master's "humanity" and spirituality, and gradually my own spirituality increased, and I didn't know when I opened my wisdom. "

"The world of the living and the world of the dead are really two different worlds, each with its own creatures and rules!" Xiaoyu sighed.

At this point, she completely shattered the idea that the underworld was a vassal and supplement of the world of the living.

The world of the living and the world of the dead are closely connected, but they are independent worlds.

From human to ghost, it is like reincarnation, becoming a different "creature".

"Miss Yu, look, we've arrived at Prince Fu's Mansion. His Royal Highness Prince Fu is waiting for you outside the door."

As each person and each paper figure was talking, they unknowingly arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

Xiaoyu had never been to Luodu, so she didn't know how luxurious the Shu King's palace was, but she had been to the Forbidden City in her previous life.

The Forbidden City seems to be inferior to the Fuwang Palace in front of us.

At the gate is a three-story, four-drop-water-detailed archway with a black plaque on it, on which are written the three characters "Fuwang Palace" in vermilion cinnabar.

General Sun said that Prince Fu was waiting for her at the door, not outside the first major gate.

She passed the three-layered city wall and walked forward two or three miles before she saw the real inner court.

All I could see were towering buildings with painted rafters and carved beams, each one tall and majestic, reaching up to the sky (the gray clouds in the sky were relatively low). Inside and outside the buildings, they were all sparkling with the brilliance of pearls, jade and gems, which were not dazzling but extremely beautiful.

The four fence rails are also carved from purple jade, and the inside and outside are paved with white jade.

The long staircase in front of Prince Fu was inlaid with countless corals, agates, rare treasures, which were dazzling to the eyes.

"Fuck, this doesn't look like it's made of paper. Why is Prince Fu so extravagant?"

Xiaoyu scanned the jewelry several times with her spiritual eyes and found that most of them were real, not paper treasures.

For example, the carved beams and painted buildings, as well as the jade railings, do not seem to be an illusion, but they do not look like things from the world of the living, which is very strange.
