Susie, the Fence-sitter, and the Ancestors in the Same Camp

Susie was stumped by this question.

"Ancestor, I can't think clearly about this question right now... I will answer you once I have thought it through," Susie said.

The ancestors sighed helplessly, unable to understand why everyone was so honest, one after another, and it baffled him.

He gently patted Susie's head and said, "Well, my dear, the ancestors hope that you can understand this question, because when a person wants to do something, they must be clear about why they want to do it."

"Even if it was unclear at the beginning, eventually one must face this problem."

He is now just an ordinary Cultivating Ghost, with not very profound understanding. He is only looking back on his own life and the lives of others from the perspective of an old man, thinking that it should be like this.

Susie looked at him and asked, "Old ancestor, who are you exactly? I always feel like you know too much."

The ancestors were amused by her and said, "The ancestors are just ordinary Cultivating Ghosts!"

Susie had a skeptical expression on her face.

The ancestor said, "Ah, I digressed. As for your matter, Huck, listen to the ancestor or try persuading him again!"

He sighed, "Even though our ancestors couldn't come up with any particularly compelling reasons, they still believed that it's better to be reincarnated, to be born into this world as a human, so that we don't have to suffer so much..."

Susie suddenly said, "Ancestors, how do you know that being reborn into the human world is not painful? Life is full of ups and downs, and every person experiences the four sufferings."

Unable to let go, unwilling to part with, unable to see through, unable to obtain.

"And, ancestor, you were wrong about one thing, I don't think reincarnation is the simplest way to achieve immortality."

The ancestors never thought of discussing with such a little kid, but when she said so, he became very interested.

"Why not? A soul reincarnates lifetime after lifetime, the underworld will not disappear, and this soul will never perish. Isn't that immortality?"

Susie asked, "Ancestors, what is the most important thing in life?"

The ancestor was taken aback and said, "What?"

Susie said, "It is the memories and love that we carry. If we forget everything in reincarnation, then we lose the heritage within us. What kind of immortality is that?"

Ancestors: "..."

He was speechless.

Susie reached out and patted the old ancestor's head in return, saying, "Don't worry, old ancestor! I will accompany you to persuade Huck."

The ancestors stared at Susie's floating little feet and her gracefully swaying skirt... They couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

The little girl unexpectedly floated up and touched his head. Indeed, she still smelled like a little girl, so adorable. Why was he so fond of her?

Susie whispered in his ear, "We should persuade Huck like this..."

In the end, Susie also forgot that she had agreed to Huck's decision.

An old person and a young child both had bright eyes, nodding at each other in agreement, saying, "Hmm! Let's do it this way!"

Huck watched the two of them whispering for a long time, patiently waiting with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Looking up at the sky of the underworld, although unable to see the bright sunlight of the mortal world again, there is still a unique scenery.

"Huck! Let's go!" Susie suddenly ran over, grabbed his hand, and walked away.

Huck followed him and asked with a warm smile, "Where are we going?"

Susie bounced around and said, "I convinced the ancestors, we will take you for a stroll."

Huck was curious, "What are we going to explore?"

The ancestor muttered, "What a waste of time."

Huck: "?"

After he followed Susie and the ancestors to the outskirts of Ghost Capital, he walked west for about half a day and arrived at a new ghost town.

He finally knew that why this place's name was ghost town!

Ghosts filled the streets!

Here is much livelier than Ghost Capital. Perhaps because Ghost Capital is managed by the underworld system, even though the streets are bustling, it is a lifeless kind of bustling. There are many ghosts wandering around, but each one is floating quietly, whispering softly, and emitting ghostly laughter in a low voice, appearing extremely eerie and solemn...

Here was different, bustling like the streets of the mortal world, but this liveliness was somewhat suffocating.

There were ghosts walking on the street carrying their own heads, ghosts with blood all over their faces, and ghosts with a fierce expression on their faces.

People used to fight on the street and even gouge out each other's eyeballs directly.

Huck stood here, on the contrary, appeared very conspicuous.

Clean and tidy, tall and handsome, with an inexplicable air of righteousness.

He had just walked into the street when all the ghosts on both sides stared straight at him, even one female ghost turned her head 360 degrees - stunned, her body forgot to move, but her gaze kept following Huck.

"Um." Huck quietly asked Susie, "Why were they all looking at me?"

Susie smiled happily, "Because Huck was handsome."

Huck said, "I don't believe you!"

The female ghost looked over, but let's not even mention the male ghost looking over.

Wherever he passed, almost all the ghosts stopped moving, even those who were fighting stopped gouging each other's eyeballs. The streets instantly became quiet, everyone was really just watching him.

The ancestor snorted, "What's the big deal? You're just a newcomer, very 'fresh' to them. Everyone wants a bite, just like Tang Monk passing through a pile of monsters."

Huck: "..." This metaphor is really vivid!

He remembered what his ancestors had said, that some Cultivating Ghosts liked to devour weaker spirits in order to strengthen themselves.

It turned out that he was so weak that other people could see it at once.

Huck lowered his gaze...

Susie and the ancestors immediately asked, "How is it? Are you scared?"

Ancestors: "It's not too late to back down now!"

Susie: "If we are scared, let's leave immediately!"

To my surprise, Huck looked up and smiled, saying, "Well, I was indeed too weak..."

The old and the young both lit up with excitement.

Huck continued, "So, I will work even harder! Starting today, I will undergo practical training right here."

Susie and the ancestors: "..."
