Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Han Lingsha responded, a natural smile appearing on her face.

The person she met at the manor, Su Chang, who called out to her from outside, was arguably the best friend Han Lingsha had made over the years.

Open the door.

Han Lingsha then saw Su Chang holding a small stack of clothes in her hands.

"Thank you, Su Chang, for bringing the clothes over."

"You're welcome. Would you like to join us in the hot spring later? We have a women's bathhouse and hot springs here."

"Bathhouse, hot spring? Oh, you mean hot spring. We have those too, usually for recuperation. But since you have them here, I won't stand on ceremony."

Han Lingsha asked with interest.

Han Lingsha was quite fond of Japan, a country whose architectural style and local customs were similar to those of the Central Plains.

Currently, the Han clan has broken free from the control of the underworld over their fate. Now, they only need to try to find a way to reincarnate normally.

Even if one dies tragically, one can hide for a while in the soul bottle given by one's great benefactor, the blind Taoist priest.

This is better than anything else.

Ultimately, the legendary King Yama was too terrifying for the Han clan, and they didn't even have the courage to resist. However, they didn't want to bear the burden of being controlled by someone for generations.

Even though their clan had never committed any major evils and had always helped the poor and disaster victims, they were not given any chance to atone for their sins simply because they disturbed the dead by tomb raiding... They had no choice but to flee.

"Then I'll take my leave first. If you need anything, you can call me or someone else. If you want to go out and have fun, you can ask me and the other maids to show you the way. You can go with other girls from your clan or the girls from the Qionghua Sect."

Su Chang, who also got along well with Han Lingsha, waved goodbye.

Han Lingsha hurriedly asked, "Su Chang, are you free now?"

Su Chang: "I'm in charge of the women here now, but the girls from the Qionghua Sect are all very plain and don't really need me. And your cousins ​​are all too tired to sleep."

"Come sit down and let's chat some more. I'll tell you about things in the Central Plains."

Han Lingsha, eager to seize any opportunity to learn about the ghost realm and underworld of this country, did not intend to miss any chance.

Su Chang nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes! I've always been curious about the Tang Kingdom."

She wasn't just gathering information; she was genuinely curious herself.

So, Su Chang went into Han Lingsha's room to chat.

When the conversation turned to news about the supernatural beings, Su Chang suddenly realized something.

"No wonder some people were talking nonsense more than a year ago, now I know what it was all about."

"So Japan has them too."

"They might exist in other places too, but it doesn't matter, they're just insignificant nobodys."

"Yes, if I suddenly had some out-of-nothing memories, of course I would pretend I didn't know anything, and then see if there was anything useful. Making money quietly is the most basic principle." Han Lingsha couldn't help but sigh.

Some of the knowledge possessed by these extraordinary individuals does indeed have some effect.

But most of them are worthless, and more likely they are enough to get you beheaded. For example, the idea that a country doesn't need an emperor. No matter how reasonable or logical it sounds, you can't say it!

Once, in an inn, Han Lingsha vaguely heard some outrageous yet seemingly reasonable remarks, but she simply pretended not to hear them, knowing that paying attention would only cause trouble.

"Aren't there any famous extraordinary people?" Su Chang asked again.

"The famous superhumans are all dead because they all made comments about the turbulent situation. It's possible that one of the famous superhumans brought sweet potatoes and potatoes from the Americas, but the court doesn't allow that to be said."

Han Lingsha replied.

Upon hearing this, Su Chang immediately understood: "Such merit can only be given to the Emperor, right? If it were given to Yi Ren, it would be extremely detrimental to the court's rule."

For things like corn, or later sweet potatoes and potatoes, my husband never intended to accept that empty title.

My husband said that tangible benefits are better than empty fame.

Moreover, the sect leader did indeed bestow many bolts of cloth and money, and even some farmland in Kyoto.

"That's how it is. So there are no more extraordinary people in the Central Plains. Those who acknowledged it are all dead."

Han Lingsha waved her hand dismissively, subtly expressing her feelings.

She was somewhat satisfied with the court's rule, albeit reluctantly.

If it weren't for the existence of the imperial court, countless innocent civilians would have been killed by those northern barbarians.

"I've also heard that there are wars happening all over your Tang Kingdom. Is that true?"

"There were some wars, and some military governors in the vassal states rebelled, seemingly with the support of cultivators. However, the imperial court also had powerful cultivators who directly intervened to suppress them..."

Han Lingsha's feelings were quite complicated when she talked about this.

Years ago, when I learned about the family curse, I planned to search for immortals everywhere, but I couldn't find any trace of them anywhere. Then, when I finally found a solution, cultivators appeared out of nowhere!

For example, the Qionghua Sect is the most powerful of the eight immortal cultivation sects on Kunlun Mountain. Its leader, Taiqing, has already achieved immortality and has several disciples with the potential to become immortals. Furthermore, the sect openly supports the orthodoxy of the imperial court.

The other seven immortal cultivation sects of Kunlun Immortal Mountain also openly supported the imperial court, which stabilized the precarious imperial court.

Then, with the emergence of special farming techniques seemingly obtained from extraordinary individuals, as well as potatoes and sweet potatoes, the imperial court gradually became stable.

Now, the imperial court intends to resume diplomatic relations with various countries as it has in the past.

The Qionghua faction was then dispatched.

Han Lingsha and the elders of her clan felt that this was not the case, but what they wanted more was to escape the control of Yama, so they used all their skills to serve as crew members on the ship, and would deal with the rest later.

Ultimately, nothing is more important than one's future prospects and destiny.

If they don't escape in time, they are destined to be punished even more severely. But if they come to Japan, a place on the mainland, a place not under the rule of the gods of the Central Plains, they will be completely safe.

Even if the King of Hell in the Central Plains wanted to take their souls, he would probably have to negotiate with the King of Hell in Japan.

Han Lingsha and the people in her clan unanimously believed that such a thing was unlikely to happen.

Ultimately, once the matter is exposed, it will only embarrass and disgrace the King of Hell in the Central Plains.

"Cultivators, huh? So you're the kind of people who aspire to become immortals. Have any of you succeeded?"

Upon hearing that many of the things Han Lingsha mentioned involved cultivators, Su Chang felt an even stronger urge to learn more.

Han Lingsha said, "Yes, it is the leader of the Qionghua Sect. I asked a member of the Qionghua Sect on the way and confirmed it completely. However, immortals are not immortal, because that member said that all things in the world have a time when their spiritual power will be exhausted. Immortals are just much longer-lived than humans."

Hearing this only strengthened Han Lingsha's resolve to help everyone reincarnate normally.

After all, if even so-called immortals will perish, then reincarnation is the end of all things in the world.

And the King of Hell, who refuses to forgive the Han clan, intends to control their reincarnation for countless lifetimes, which means they are doomed to have absolutely no hope...

Even knowing that there will be no memories after reincarnation, who would want to have such a tragic fate forever?

No normal person would agree to that!

"It's better not to become an immortal. Everyone around me is dead. If I live too long, I'll probably want to commit suicide, or I don't know what terrible things I might do in a crazy way."

"Su Chang, what you're saying is way too much..."

Han Lingsha's eyelids twitched.

Su Chang smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry for saying something so inappropriate."

"It's nothing. Living too long doesn't really have any advantages, unless you have people around you, then it's a little better."

Han Lingsha's expression darkened, but then she became somewhat understanding.

Her parents died two years ago, and if her uncle and other relatives also die one after another, she probably won't have much will to live.

Incidentally, my parents worked as ferrymen in the ghost realm for two years before, and are currently inside the Soul Bottle.

It was precisely because of her parents' situation that she was so determined to escape with her people.

The deceased relatives of the clansmen also did hard labor in the ghost realm for many years, and none of them have been able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Moreover, entering the cycle of reincarnation is not necessarily a good thing.

"Yes, but there's probably no such thing as a free lunch. It's better to live in the moment." Su Chang felt very content.

She and her close sister both married the same good husband, and she has a group of wonderful playmates. Her clansmen are also by her side. Although many people have sacrificed themselves for various reasons, none of them have many regrets. She will take good care of the descendants and relatives who remain...

Well, no matter how you look at it, this kind of life is so wonderful.

She loves it.

"We really should cherish the present moment."

"Let me ask you another rather presumptuous question: you're not very familiar with the Qionghua Sect, are you?"

"Yes, what's wrong? If it's something that's not convenient to explain, just say it. I'm very tight-lipped!"

Han Lingsha felt a chill run down her spine and quickly patted her body vigorously to make a promise.

"This is terrible! It seems there are some secrets that shouldn't be known to these envoys from the Qionghua Sect! What could it be?"

“Actually…” Su Chang’s expression was strange and subtle, “You have come at a bad time. There is a powerful evil god who is preparing to destroy the world. It is very dangerous to be in Japan. If you return to the Central Plains, you will probably be fine.”

Her husband suggested that she take the opportunity to explain the situation to the Han family. Although she didn't quite understand why, she did as he said.

"A powerful, evil god?"

"That's right. According to legend, he is a serpent god born at the beginning of time, and has lived for countless years. Most importantly, he may begin to destroy the world in the next few months..."

"That's it."

Han Lingsha's lips were dry, and her heart was filled with bitterness.
