Suddenly, maybe due to the stress I have gone through, I started laughing. The experience of being pulled by a branch and suck into its trunk. The idea of plants and trees calling out to me is somehow hilarious.
24 hours within this fantasy world and I have experienced a lot. I know this is not heaven and while I had one heck of a roller coaster ride - this sure is not hell as well.
"Ghost Wei, is this purgatory? Maybe my witch blood prohibits me to reach the heavenly doors but my profession as a helpful, pure-hearted Medical Intern equates good and evil in my karma that I can't go to hell as well. This is why I am in purgatory right now?"
"What are you spouting? I am not sure what are you talking about. In this world, when you die, you go to Diyu where you meet Yama as he overseas you going through ten courts of hell until your soul is cleansed enough for reincarnation. I should be there right now." the ghost replied with that paralyzed expression.
"What if this is Diyu? I am dead, you are dead. Perhaps we are going through a journey of purification preparing our soul to reincarnate!"
Ghost Wei shook her head. "I doubt it. You see, you are in my world. The world I spent 14 years living as a pampered Miss. I have cultivated and dream of reaching the realms of Immortals so I don't have to go through the courts of hell."
I rolled my eyes hearing it. "Then why are you so excited about going there. I seemed to remember you want to cross over."
"Well, I am already dead. What's done is done. The soonest I reincarnate, the soonest I can cultivate again."
I stood up and brush off the dirt from my hands and dress. "Aish, I am so dirty. I look like a rag and I don't have any extra clothes to wear!" then I remembered something and looked at Ghost Wei.
"Why did you not let me go back to General's Jun Manor by the way?"
"Jun Wun Lu is too powerful for you to be your opponent at the moment. She can have a higher stage than my level 3 spirit warrior stage. And she also seemed to have a powerful backer. Those shadow guards with her are certainly not from Jun Jia." Ghost Wei explaining some nonsense stuff to me.
I slap my forehead and shook my head. I clearly can't understand half of what Ghost Wei Wei is saying.
"Ghost Wei, I am not Eastern. I am not from your world so I really can't comprehend what you mean by all those stages. Can you explain it slowly? Educate an idiot please."
