438. I Can’t Hold It!(2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Yin Jinye slightly shook his head, “I don’t know, I have ever tried to get to it, and nearly got sucked in. And then, I also came during the day, but got nothing. Even till now, I still don’t know why this huge pit would attract so many souls.”

“Will they come out after they get in?”

“I have seen only souls going in, but never seen souls coming out.”

Rong Yi joyfully pointed to two of the souls, “Daddy, look, that’s couple!”

The souls of that couple saw that they were looking at them and gave them a smile, and the light on their bodies became much brighter.

Rong Yi wondered, “Why is every soul different in color?”

“It should be related to their accumulated virtues in life. I once saw a monk whose soul was golden, very dazzling. He must have done many good things during his life.” Yin Jinye pointed to some of the children’s souls, “Their souls are all white. White souls are pure, which means they haven’t done anything bad.”

Rong Yi smiled and asked, “What color do you think our souls are?”

Yin Jinye made a low smile, “my soul is undoubtedly black, after entering the nether world, I may be sent to 18 layers of hell or into the animal way.”

“Even if you are reborn as an animal, you’ll be the most handsome one.”

Yin Jinye picked his eyebrow, “If I become ugly, you will no longer love me?”

“Yes, I will always love you!”

Yin Jinye no longer said nothing.

Rong Yi heard a sound behind, as he turned back, he saw an ugly face and got jump scared. If it hadn’t been that Yin Jinye was tightly holding him, he’d would have already fallen over.

“F*ck, you scared me.”

Yin Jinye looked at him innocently, “Didn’t you say you’d always love me whatever appearance I change into?”

“It’s not a matter whether I love your or not, it’s just you gave me jump scare as you suddenly changed into a ghost’s shape.” Rong Yi pinched his ‘ghost’ face and said grumpily, “Come! Change back. Test me when you really got ugly one day!”

Yin Jinye made a deep smile and unlifted the trick on his face.

Rong Yi turned his head and continued watching those souls, “What color do you think my soul will be?”

“I guess it’s red.”

“Red? What does red represent?”

“Red generally means having done something bad and also something good.” Yin Jinye thought for a while and continued, “Actually it’s only my personal observation in these years, it doesn’t count. As for the specific meaning of those colors, I am also not very clear.”

“Hmm.” Rong Yi leaned in his arms and asked, “Do you think that one day if we will also go to the nether world hand in hand like that couple just now?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Don’t you think it would be better for us to sit here appreciating the view, undisturbed, forever as we are now?”

“Of course it would be nice if we could be like this forever.” Rong Yi looked at the sky, “Such beautiful scenery, no one has ever found it?”

“Very few people come here.”

Then the number of souls falling into the huge pit slowly dwindled, and the moment when the last soul entered, there was a whirlpool in the middle of the glowing huge pit.

When the whirlpool stopped, there appeared a hazy picture inside, not very clearly, one could only vaguely see the outline of some houses.

Rong Yi was surprised and said, “Daddy, I think I see houses.”

Yin Jinye lightly said, “I see it too. I once felt that it should be the nether world, but after my observation, the nether world should not appear so easily in the cultivation world.”

“Can it be some kind of apparition, or inverted image of Wangchuan Town?”

“Maybe.”

With a cup of tear’s time, it disappeared. Then, the brightness gradually darkened.

“Why does it darken down? Is it over?”

“Hmm, it’s over. It’ll appear again tomorrow night.”

Rong Yi felt a bit disappointed as he didn’t see the buildings inside clearly, and also feeling a bit itchy, very curious where the place shown inside belonged to.

“Daddy, I remember there is no Wangchuan Town in the map you gave me.” He took out the map and looked at it. “Not really.”

Yin Jinye pointed at a spot a bit above Guiling Town, where was marked with a black dot, “Here is Wangchuan Town. After it disappeared, some people thought that name is ill-boding, so they erased it. I added this black dot myself.”

Rong Yi’s finger move from the black spot on the map to the location of Guiling Town, “When Wangchuan Town comes under your name, Guiling Town will be the largest town among the nine biggest towns of Beiba. Not bad. Daddy, you are quite capable.”

The corner of Yin Jinye’s mouth curved.

“Daddy, how did you seize Guiling Town? By force?”

“Sort of. The old chatelain planned to leave Guiling Town to his own child, but his child couldn’t wait for so long, so he came up with a way to assassinate the old chatelain, but failed. The old chatelain was so disappointed in his child that he had a meeting saying everyone could fight for his position. Since Guiling Town had always been ruled by the ghost cultivators, those who participated could only be ghost cultivators. I happened to pass by, and I was lucky, so you know…” Yin Jinye ‘s face suddenly sank, and he snapped, “Get out!”
