Chapter 64: Could He Believe Her? Should He?

“The State Minister?”

Lu Sheng shook her head. “No, I haven’t seen him before.”

She had been to this world for only more than half a month and had not gone anywhere else except Huang Yang Town. How could she have seen the State Minister?

Her doubtful expression did not seem to be fake. It seemed like she was really not the State Minister’s disciple.

Chu Sihan shook his head and smiled. He had been overly suspicious. He kept feeling that the State Minister would not give a woman to him for no reason.

From the looks of it, perhaps it was really meant to be?

He even suspected that the black mist Lu Sheng showed him just now were not ghosts, but illusions.

How could there be ghosts in this world?

However, his intuition told him that they were ghosts.

“Lord, don’t you find the souls familiar?” Lu Sheng asked, looking him in the eye.

“Familiar?” Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “I should find them familiar?”

Could it be that he knew those souls?

“They were the men in black who chased after you at Liu Yue Village.” Lu Sheng explained. “The netherworld will not collect souls like them.”

So they were Chu Silin’s hired assassins.

However, her last sentence aroused his curiosity.

“Why not?”

“They were assassins when they were alive. They killed countless people and committed too many sins. Their evil tendencies were too strong, so they could not be reborn even after entering the netherworld. It’s not that the netherworld doesn’t accept them, but they don’t want to go down. Even if they go down, they will only be thrown into the blood pool and never be reborn.”

If he had not seen them earlier, Chu Sihan would have thought that she was lying.

“Then, what will happen if they remain in the human world?”

“What will happen?”

Lu Sheng smiled and continued explaining to him. “There will be two outcomes for them. The first is that they will become wandering ghosts and can only wander around the places where they died. When they encounter people with weak soul power, they might follow them and suck their yang energy. As for the other possibility…”

She touched her nose and said softly, “They will encounter righteous people like me, who will capture them and make them do righteous deeds.”

“Of course, there’s another type, which is meeting demonic people. They will train these wandering souls to become malicious spirits and use them to harm others.”

Chu Sihan nodded although he didn’t fully understand.

He was silent for a while before asking again, “Is there really such a thing as reincarnation in this world?”

“Of course!” Lu Sheng smiled at him and asked, “Lord, have you heard of the Bridge of Helplessness before?”

Chu Sihan nodded.

He had often heard the elders mention this.

“My master once brought me to the Bridge of Helplessness. There’s a god there called Meng Po. All the ghosts that want to enter the cycle of life and death have to drink a bowl of Meng Po Soup.”

“You’ve seen them before?” Chu Sihan was doubtful.

“Yes.” Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “I’ve even seen the Soul Luring Messengers, the Black and White Deities, before.”

Not too long ago, she met them again at Huang Yang Town.

However, they were not close to her. They were closer to her master.

Chu Sihan was speechless.

He felt like his worldview had collapsed.

Everything about spirits and demons that he knew before was fake.

However, this girl in front of him was telling him that there were not only ghosts and deities in this world, but also reincarnation. There was indeed a Meng Po on the bridge of reincarnation.

Well…

Could he believe her? Should he?

Chu Sihan was silent when he heard Lu Sheng say, “It’s a pity that I’m only a mortal and do not have Master’s capabilities. Otherwise, I would have brought Lord to see that Bridge of Helplessness.”

Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Is your master not a mortal?”
