Chapter 1, I am going to the human realm to make contact with him

Perhaps it was the bloodied expression that left him stunned, yet he remained silent

Would you like to go outside and take a look

He walked deeper into the underworld without looking back, and I kept watching him leave until he was no longer visible, unable to bring myself to turn my gaze away. The little ghost B returned from the bridge of sighs, waving a pair of dark, withered hands in front of me: "Miss Three Lives!"

The old Taoist with a white beard, passing by the River of Forgetfulness, read my fortune for me. He shook his head and predicted my calamities.

He smiled faintly and patted the top of my head: "Having received your few bows that caused my head to bleed, I cannot let you bow in vain. Since you wish to take a stroll through the underworld, I shall grant you three lifetimes of freedom. My three lifetimes of trials will be your three lifetimes of freedom. After I return from my trials, you must obediently return to the banks of the River of Forgetfulness to wait. Is that acceptable?"

I do have some recollection of this matter. During that period, the underworld became extremely crowded, and the wailing almost threatened to topple the Hall of Yama. The Bridge of Helplessness was nearly trampled to collapse. Although these demons were all killed by Mo Xi, war is inherently a matter of life and death. As the God of War, it is Mo Xi's duty to suppress the rebels with force. He is loyal to his own kind, and it is only natural for him to be ruthless and resolute in battle.

I pondered for a moment, recalling those stories I often read, where a young gentleman encounters a young lady, she performs a courtesy, and they exchange a few words before embarking on an uncontrollable series of intimate activities. However, I did not feel any inclination towards such activities with Mo Xi, which should not be considered as being moved by emotions.

He slowly approached, of course not to seek me out, but simply because behind me lies the Naihe Bridge, a passage that must be crossed to enter the underworld. I feel that it is a rare opportunity to encounter such a wonderful person, to have a beautiful meeting with him.

All living things must undergo tribulations. ... Yet I have lived steadily for over a hundred years, until ...

The wrist is my lifeline, and now with just a slight exertion, I would die a most gruesome death. The already pale and unattractive faces of the two little ghosts, A and B, turned even paler. A hurriedly pleaded, "My lord! My lord! The girl from the Three Lives has spent her life by the banks of the River of Forgetfulness, and the underworld is a crude place. The girl does not understand the customs here, and I hope my lord can show mercy."

I was startled, and in a flurry of panic, I ended up getting myself covered in blood all over.

I pondered for a moment and, imitating the way those spirits usually lament to the King of Hell, I knelt down with a loud "thud" on both knees and earnestly bowed three times, saying, "Young master, may I ask what your esteemed name is?"

Have you always been guarding the banks of the River of Forgetfulness? he suddenly asked

However, there is always an unexpected event in everything

My name is Mo Xi

I thought this was a great compliment, and I was instantly filled with joy, so I hurriedly asked, "Can I flirt with you?"

I shook my head firmly and said, "There is no emotion."

Three Lives? This name is rather peculiar and carries a certain charm

It seemed as if the ground had trembled three times. The little ghosts around were gasping for breath, seemingly terrified.

Seeing that he did not respond to my words, I thought for a moment and felt that perhaps my initial bow was not loud enough to show my sincerity. Therefore, I knelt and moved forward three steps, no longer holding back my strength, and bowed my head three more times with great force.

Is it possible that the girl from the Three Lives has developed feelings for him?

Emotional entanglement

Before the Naihe Bridge, he turned to look at me while holding the Meng Po soup

He paused for a moment and said: "I have come this time to undergo tribulations and will not linger in the underworld"

He placed a golden seal on my wrist and said, "It is better to be clever when dealing with spiritual objects; in the future, take better care of your vital points." He added, "Not every strong person is as kind as I am."

Um

Yi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "Kindness? Could it be that the girl from the Three Lives truly believes it?" Seeing me nod, Yi shook his head weakly and said, "Back then, when the demon clan rebelled, one hundred thousand demon soldiers attacked the Heavenly Realm. Lord Mo Xi led thirty thousand heavenly soldiers and annihilated them all. Not only did we achieve victory with fewer troops, but we also marched straight down to the Nine Nether Demon City, causing rivers of blood to flow throughout the demon domain. For ten years, the sound of demons was unheard, and all demons aged three and above were completely exterminated."

Without affection and sorrow, if one cannot be moved, then where does the entanglement of emotions come from

He left under the escort of the little demons, A and B, who were twitching in their faces. I touched the golden seal on my wrist

I have silently guarded the River of Forgetfulness for a thousand years, ultimately transforming into a spirit

One must act with sincerity. The Black and White Impermanence often reiterate this saying: "Only with sincerity can things be accomplished." Therefore, they are always able to obediently summon souls back.

I stepped forward and softly called out, "Young Master." I wanted to greet him like a well-mannered young lady from a storybook. However, the storybook only mentioned the act of greeting without providing specific details on the actions and postures.

On a gloomy afternoon in the underworld, I returned from my usual stroll along the banks of the River of Forgetfulness, which had remained unchanged for a thousand years. As I looked up, it seemed as if the sunlight from the human realm had pierced through layers of mist, illuminating the blossoms of the other shore that dotted the road to the Yellow Springs.

I laughed: "I am going to the human realm to flirt with him."

"Why? He is the most handsome and graceful person I have ever seen." I paused, "And his voice is the most pleasant to hear."

He reached out his hand, and I naturally placed my hand on his. He then turned his hand and grasped my wrist.

I do not know when it began, but those who pass by the River of Forgetfulness call me the Stone of Three Lives. Since then, some have spurned me, some have carved their past life's fate upon me, and some have wept before me.

It is precisely because he is perfect in every way that one must never develop true feelings for him! The God of Mo Xi holds the position of the War God of the Nine Heavens, capable of anything under heaven and earth, yet his heart is solely devoted to the world. A person who carries the burden of all living beings cannot possibly accommodate personal romantic feelings.

I suddenly recalled a phrase spoken by a human woman who passed by me many years ago: "A gentleman of integrity, as if cutting and polishing, as if carving and grinding"

The girl is going where

"Mo Xi," I called out loudly

I have come to understand. It turns out that it was not a lack of sincerity on my part, but rather an excess of it. I honestly said: "You are beautiful, I want to ... ... " In a moment of awkwardness, I found myself at a loss for words, and in a fit of desperation, I randomly grabbed a word that had been lost in my mind for who knows how long, "I want to flirt with you"

I feel that whether Mo Xi can accommodate personal feelings for her children has little to do with me, but the first half of Yi's sentence left me momentarily stunned: "How could someone as kind-hearted as him hold such a position as the God of War, which is so filled with murderous intent?"

"May I approach you in the human realm?" I asked earnestly, provoking a series of strange cackles from Meng Po, who was ladling soup.

I only consider him to be talking nonsense

For nearly a thousand years, my stone heart has rarely stirred even slightly.

Although I do not know what he is so pleased about, seeing his joy, I also display a friendly smile, revealing my white teeth. However, I did not expect that this pretense would only make my smile appear even more ghastly and unsettling.

I anxiously wiped my face, and my entire hand became damp! I did not realize I had lost so much blood, and at that moment, I began to understand why he wore such a dazed expression.

The little ghosts around him hissed as they took two breaths of cold air, and he stood there in a daze, his expression somewhat surprised, momentarily unable to respond to my words

And I am merely a stone by the banks of the River of Forgetfulness, devoid of sorrow and joy, without suffering or pleasure

It is not a losing deal, I nodded in agreement

I still gazed at him, feeling no fear in my heart, for there was no murderous intent in his eyes

I am the spirit of the Three Lives Stone, the soul of the stone, the heart of the stone. The lingering chill by the banks of the River of Forgetfulness has further hardened my heart and cooled my insides

The little ghost beside me appeared inexplicably anxious. He leaned closer and pulled at me, but I did not respond. In a fit of frustration, he whispered, "My three-lifetime great-aunt! Who are you trying to scare with this fierce ghostly appearance? Do you know who he is?"

Yi sighed deeply and murmured to himself, "Indeed, how could this stone be moved by emotions? It is I who have thought too much." He then fixed his gaze on me and said, "In any case, not being moved by emotions is the best outcome! In this world, nothing is more tormenting than the word 'emotion.' It is not to say that you, Miss San Sheng, must not fall in love with anyone. It is just that this Lord of the Moxi River is truly the one person in the world that a woman should never fall in love with."

Yi turned his head and thought: "It is precisely the descriptions of men and women in those storybooks you usually read that evoke emotions."

I then turned my head to Yi and asked seriously: "What does it mean to be truly moved?"

I nodded

He scrutinized me for a moment, then released my wrist and instead supported my arm to help me up: "It is indeed a remarkable event that the stones of the underworld can transform into spirits. You do not know who I am, yet why do you bestow such great courtesy upon me?"

I patted Yi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for telling me these things. I will go back to the stone and tidy up."

The implication is that it is not permissible. I lowered my gaze, feeling somewhat disappointed

I looked up at him with a sense of helplessness

At that time, I thought this way

In her beautiful eyes, my shadow is reflected, and a bright smile soon curves at the corners of her eyes

The man arrived gracefully

My eyes lit up, and I nodded vigorously

The little demon A looked at me with a hopeless gaze

I raised my head, blood streaming down my face, and looked at him: "What is your esteemed name, young master?"

The little ghost Yi looked as if he wished for blood to splatter on the spot: "Grandma! This is from the heavens..." Before he could finish his sentence, a gentle voice interrupted him

My magical power is not considered profound among the spiritual beings in the underworld, but due to my seniority, the little ghosts treat me with utmost respect. It is quite rare for them to speak to me in such a tone. I frowned and asked in confusion, "Of course I don't know who he is; isn't that what I'm asking?"

He also curled his lips: "If I can find it, then let’s make a connection." After saying this, he drank the Meng Po soup in one gulp

He smiled: "Indeed, it is a straightforward spirit."
