Chapter 197 - Careful Calculation (2/2)

“Why will you go?” Xiao Hong said, wondering. “Zhou Yuan has powers. He can help me when he is there. What can you do over there?”

“I can help you…” Hao Ning stopped in a sudden. He was right. What can I do in the nether world? He thought. The six-pulse excalibur? Yes, there were many ghosts in the nether world! But the ghosts did not know how to use the six-pulse excalibur. The Soul Cutter? But it was used to kill ghosts. To go to the nether world with this weapon was just like to go the bank with weapons of mass destruction. His original intention was to ask for a favor, instead, it would turn into a smash with this weapon. Thinking of this, Hao Ning sighed. “Can you take me with you? I want to broaden my horizon.”

“My God. Broaden your horizon? Do you think I look like a professor…” Xiao Hong said in a bitter smile, “and, this magic figure needs much power. It will increase my risks to take you because you have no power at all,” he added.

“Well…” Hao Ning said, frowning. He calculated everything carefully but he failed this part. He had to admit this was his fate. He said, “If you see Yan there. Please say hello to him for me and let him contact me.”

“Who is Yan?” Xiao Hong asked, wondering.

“You don’t know Yan?” Hao Ning asked. He was more wondering than Xiao Hong was. “You don’t know Yan in the nether world? How is it possible?”

“I know none of them in the nether world!” Xiao Hong said. “Why do you think the Sudhana knows Yan?” he added.

“Because Avalokitesvara knows him!” Hao Ning said promptly. “I once heard that somebody asked Yan to look for Avalokitesvara. It was proved that they knew each other very much. You, as the favorite boy of Avalokitesvara, don’t know him?” said Hao Ning.

Hao Ning saw that Xiao Hong felt disgusted when he said “favorite boy”.

“That’s impossible,” Xiao Hong said after vomiting. “I believe that Brother Zhang did not know this Yan. Or I can say, he just heard of him but not knew him very well. Yan would not come to contact Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang and Yan did not work in the same department. If a person who came nowhere wanted to talk with him, they should inform me first. I did not know Yan. How should Brother Zhang know him?” said Xiao Hong.

“How did they not work in the same department?” Hao Ning argued. He added, “Bodhisattva once said, I’m not going to hell. Who’s going to hell? ‘”

“Yes. That is because they do not work in the same department and there are full of dangers. That is the reason why Bodhisattva says, ‘I’m not going to hell. Who’s going to hell’! If they work in the same department, there would be no dangers at all.” Xiao Hong said with confidence. He explained more, “Bodhisattva says this because they work in different departments. If they know each other very well just like neighbors, Bodhisattva would not say that sentence. Did you ever hear Bodhisattva say, ‘I’m not going to Mountain Lingshan. Who’s going to Mountain Lingshan?’ ‘I’m not going to heaven. Who’s going to heaven?'”

“Err… You are right…” Hao Ning said with an agreement. He replied, “Ok, you go alone and please come back as early as you can.”

“Ok. I have to kick you guys out first,” Xiao Hong said, nodding. He turned back and said to Zhou Yuan, “Zhou Yuan, you take Hao Ning with you. I will find a way to save your mother!”

After saying this, Xiao Hong took out a shining magic figure. He unfolded it in the air and sneaked into it! The light of the magic figure became dimer, standing on the ground still. The light turned on and off alternatively, making the place gloomy due to the dark in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

“Where is he going?” Zhou Yuan saw Xiao Hong disappear and said. He closed his eyes and calculated, “It seemed that he is not in the imaginary place of my mother’s,” he said.

“He went to the other one,” Hao Ning said. He thought for a while, and replied Zhou Yuan by quoting Xiao Hong just said to him about reincarnation in the nether world, “He went to the other space-time,” he quoted.

“Space-time? Did you just say space-time?” Zhou Yuan said, wondering. “Is Xiao Hong an alien with high-technological skills? Is he an alien in four-dimensions? Can he travel space-time?” he asked.

Hao Ning heard about the four-dimensions Zhou Yuan mentioned before. In general, in the science fiction film, the producer preferred to add a time dimension into the three-dimensions and turn the space into four-dimensions. As per the description in the films, humankind couldn’t control the four-dimensions. It is aliens who could control it. That was the reason why Zhou Yuan thought that Xiao Hong was an alien.

“Err… It is a long story. Let’s get out of here first,” Hao Ning said. Thinking that Zhou Yuan might not understand what Xiao Hong told him, Hao Ning stopped to tell him the profound theory. He thought that he would tell him in an easy way later. “We may have an impact on Xiao Hong to use his power over here,” Hao Ning added.

As they were talking, the standing magic figure became brighter suddenly. A hand came out of it with dry fingernails. Each fingernail was 2-3 inches long. A long-hair monster whose faces were covered showed. It said, “Don’t…go…”

“Ghost!”

“Yamamura Junko!”

After screaming, they both felt a little shame on themselves. One of them was a moment god. The other one was a person who had lived with a ghost from the nether world for half a month. They both had undergone so many things. How could they be so scared at a monster? What a shame it wa! As both of them screamed at the same time, there were no reasons to disdain each other. They both selectively forgot the embarrassment of each other’s.

Hao Ning was ready to use his six-pulse excalibur and Soul Cutter. He said in a trembling voice, “You, you, you… Don’t come over. I have weapons to kill ghosts and flesh bodies. Who the hell are you? Anyway, I can kill you no matter who you are. I will stop you hurt anybody…”

“I won’t hurt anybody,” that monster shouted, adding “I am Xiao Hong.”

“Xiao Hong?” Hao Ning replied. Looking at this monster with long hair and long fingernails, Hao Ning continued to say, “What are you talking about? Do you think we don’t know Xiao Hong? You must be a monster from the magic figure. You must have eaten Xiao Hong. Ok, I will avenge Xiao Hong.”

Before Hao Ning took an action, he heard “whirring…” sound from the monster. A scissor made of fire flame flew out of the covered face of the monster. The scissor trimmed the long hair and the long fingernails quickly. Hao Ning stared at the man. It was Xiao Hong!
