910 A Million Times for You 272 (1/2)
An Xiaoning pointed at her car and said, ”My car is over there. Bring your children along.”
”Alright…”
The family of three was forced to bring An Xiaoning to the tombstone in the field.
Even after reconnoitering the place, she did not manage to find a trace of Yang Yong's spirit. At last, she confirmed that the only way to meet him was to make a trip down to the netherworld.
”You're moving at such a late hour?”
”Yes… we don't dare to live here anymore. We already bought another house before my husband died. We'll be moving there now.”
An Xiaoning did not ask her for her new address directly. After all, it would only intimidate her.
On the way back, An Xiaoning dropped them off at their doorstep before returning to Wei Ni Estate on her own.
Jin Qingyan was currently watching the evening news on the television. Upon seeing her arrival, he immediately asked, ”Did you find his spirit?”
”No, I have to make a trip to the netherworld.”
”I especially prepared a room for you, you may use it to perform your rituals. I've also prepared everything that you'll need for them,” said Jin Qingyan, who stood up to show her the way.
An Xiaoning pushed the door open to discover that he had made rather elaborate arrangements and prepared all the supplies she would need.
She was thoroughly pleased.
”I shall start now, then.” She grabbed her bag and took out some joss sticks. She then prepared a bowl of iced water before beginning the ritual.
”You may go outside. I can manage on my own.”
Jin Qingyan did as he was told and went out.
An Xiaoning knelt onto the praying mat and began chanting incessantly while holding the joss sticks with both her hands.
After the ritual, she stuck the joss sticks into the joss urn and remained still.
A sudden darkness filled her field of vision.
She trod along the path toward the netherworld at godlike speed.
Soon, she arrived at the first custom, which was situated on a narrow bridge, wide enough to allow just one person to pass through.
The trench below the bridge did not seem too deep from where she was standing. However, the moment she looked down again after stepping foot onto the bridge, she discovered that the trench below was so deep that it seemed just like a black hole.
She continued to proceed without stopping.
Once she passed the bridge, she was abruptly greeted with the sight of various spirits wandering around.
She continued to make her way toward the grim reaper's place.
She knocked on the door, after which a ghost child answered, ”What's the matter?”
”May I ask if Lords Heibai and Wuchang are at home?”
”Of course not, they're so busy all the time. I'm guessing they're handling some work in the palace.” The ghost sniffed An Xiaoning and asked, ”Are you human?”
Shaking her head profusely, An Xiaoning answered, ”No, I'm not.”
”Why are you here instead of going to reincarnate?” he asked apprehensively.
