C27 (1/2)
In history, Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun had settled in Lin Quan at the end, living a life without strife. However, there was a boundary to life so Zhuo Wenjun left first. After his death, Sima Xiangru was left alone with sorrow, and Sima Xiangru had only used two to three years to speak of his fate. He wanted to continue the feelings he had from his previous life and enjoy the endless perfection.
The Underworld back then was very different from the Underworld now. At that time, there were not many people there, and although they had their own responsibilities, they were mostly the jobs of scholars. After Sima Xiangru came to the Underworld, he worked as a poet for a while, saved up some money, and started to look around for Zhuo Wenjun.
However, after asking left and right, Sima Xiangru also did not manage to find Zhuo Wenjun's location, and even specially went to the Underworld's household registration office to check, but still did not find anything.
”At that time, I thought that something went wrong with the Household Registration Office... He even specially took Wen Jun's book to search around, but … Sigh … ”Until later …” Sima Xiangru stood by the window and sighed.
”Cough, cough.” Just as Sima Xiangru was about to continue, Grandma Meng suddenly coughed.
Seeing that, Sima Xiangru's face changed, he seemed to have realized something and kept quiet.
Wan Hei saw that and said unhappily: ”You are a bad guy! He couldn't finish the story! I won't be able to sleep! ”
When Sima Xiangru heard this, he smiled and said, ”Then let Wan Lixing tell you another story. This matter can't be told for the time being ….”
Wan Lixing rolled his eyes, this group of elderly people loved to do these kinds of things, and liked to keep people in the dark.
”It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that you can't say it now. If you can get to the [A] class taxi driver, you might be able to understand the whole thing.” Grandma Meng looked at Wan Lixing and said.
Seeing Grandma Meng being so serious, Wan Lixing knew that this was something that most people would not know.
”Forget it, I have another reason to become an A Rank taxi driver.” Wan Lixing laughed.
”Then what's the matter with you two? What does Master Sima looking for Zhuo Wenjun have to do with you? ” Wan Lixing thought of this question again and asked curiously.
Wan Hur heard this and rushed over. If one story couldn't work, then he would listen to the other. He just hoped that this time, the story wouldn't end midway.
Hearing this, Grandma Meng's face immediately wore a bitter expression as she looked at Sima Xiangru, while Sima Xiangru deliberately avoided looking at him, as if she was pondering about something.
At that time, I discovered that the old man was holding onto Zhuo Wenjun's white head and was searching for someone. I especially liked that white head chant, and wished to trade it for something in exchange. At that time, I was still a small person who had just levelled up to the [C] class and didn't have much to offer, but I felt that being a scholar is one thing, and what's important is the heart. However, I didn't expect that this old man would not give it to me at all.
”It's really normal.” After all, the importance of this White-headed Yin to Sima Xiangru could be imagined. After all, this was a poem that Zhuo Wenjun had changed his mind about after he had lost her true heart.
Thinking up to here, Wan Lixing gave Sima Xiangru a disdainful look and said: ”Master Sima, you still want to take me in as your concubine! Luckily you changed your mind, or else I would definitely scold you! ”
Sima Xiangru coughed slightly, awkwardly waved his hand, and said: ”This is all a part of the past, it's all a part of the past, it's all a part of the past, right?
Grandma Meng continued, ”If he just didn't change it, I also felt that it wouldn't be a big deal. On the contrary, I would have actually admired him, because after all, it was such an important thing, but at that time, I didn't know if he was stupid, and felt that I had ulterior motives in delaying his search for Zhuo Wenjun. He even suspected that I was going to steal his White Yin1 and forcefully report me to the unit!”
Grandma Meng said while glaring at Sima Xiangru. If looks could kill … Unfortunately, looks could not kill.
Sima Xiangru scoffed, and said: ”Who told you to look like a crazy woman at that time! How could I not be suspicious! I originally wanted to leave directly, but then I felt that I should reduce the danger to the Underworld, so I complained to you! I am doing this for the safety of the entire Three Realms! ”
”Bullshit!” Grandma Meng retorted succinctly.
The corner of Wan Lixing's mouth twitched. Never would he have thought that the grudge between these two people was like this … However, Wan Lixing also understood that Grandma Meng had a lot more things to say. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't be like this.
”Grandmother! You hate it too! That's all you can tell a story about! ” Wan Hur also heard that Grandma Meng was hiding a lot of things and said unhappily.
Grandma Meng gave a look of surprise and then said helplessly, ”It's fine if you don't want to talk about this, but you guys have to remember this. You guys will definitely encounter some things in the future, and you can't tell anyone about these things, at least for the time being. But if one day, you guys get to a high enough level, then you won't have to care about these things …”
Wan Lixing fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Since he had come to the Underworld, too many things had happened, but he could only see a corner of everything because of the dense fog, similar to the past situation with Sima Xiangru and the grudge between him and Grandma Meng. If it wasn't for the fact that his current position was not high enough, these two elders might have told him everything.
”I have to climb up one step at a time …” Wan Lixing thought in his heart, the things that he had encountered right now might not be much, but in the long run, if he did not climb up, he would not be able to see the true Three Realms at all.
Seeing the look in Wan Lixing's eyes, Grandma Meng smiled slightly, but no matter from what angle she looked at her smile, it was filled with treachery.
