Chapter 231: , how can this holy object be given to a dog……

"The Ghost Minister has locked us in this iron house; I don't know where he went to seek pleasure—how can we see him?" the Princess worried.

"This is easy. As long as we give a little something to the two ghosts, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, guarding the gate, they will surely know where the Ghost Minister is now."

"How do we give a little something?" Because the Princess has no money, she asked anxiously.

"I have a way."

The boy thought for a moment and said: "Hey, Ox-Head and Horse-Face ghosts, come over; we have a treasure we want to give you."

The ghost guarding the two gates, upon hearing that the two bird-like men and women inside had a treasure to give them, became energized.

"Treasure? Bring it out quickly, or we'll suffer fleshly pain!" the two ghosts said in unison.

"This is a rare treasure; even if you two ghosts earned money for eight lifetimes, you couldn't buy this treasure."

"What thing? Who are you trying to fool?" the two gate-guarding ghosts doubted.

"If you think we're fooling you, then don't take it. How can this holy object be given to a dog?" the city boy deliberately provoked the two ghosts.

"Real or fake, bring it out to look, then we'll talk. If it's fake, we'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish; if it's genuine, it's valuable, then we'll kowtow to you. What treasure, bring it out!" This ghost's speech is not like human speech, **, otherwise how could it be called ghost speech!

"This is a piece of stone……"

"After all this fuss it's still just a stone—what treasure are we talking about!" Some of the ghosts became unhappy.

"This is not an ordinary stone of the world. Speaking of this stone, there is also a strange origin: Cao Xueqin said that when Nüwa mended the heavens, she refined thirty-six thousand five hundred and one stones at the Jīyá of Great Wilderness Mountain, used thirty-six thousand five hundred, leaving one stone, which Nüwa discarded below Qinggeng Peak."

"That discarded stone, unwilling, began self-cultivation."

"After undergoing wind, sun, rain, lightning strikes and fires for many centuries, its spirituality has been awakened."

"Finally it became Jia Baoyu."

"That Jia Baoyu, after wandering once through the prosperous flower-and-willow district, the gentle land of wealth and honor, returned again below Qinggeng Peak."

"Again he cultivated himself, then waited another thousand years for a single trip."

"The stone I hold to give you is that one below Qinggeng Peak, awaiting its second thousand-year journey as the second Jia Baoyu."

"This stone is not ordinary, right?"

"After hearing the city boy's account, the two ghosts Ox-Head and Horse-Face delighted, thinking: If I could obtain this stone, I could swap Jia Baoyu for myself, letting me walk the human world once—what joy and glory!"

"Look! Although the human world has many hardships, filth, and injustice; many ghosts still linger in the human world, longing for a single trip there after a thousand years."

"Our conditions are simple: do more good deeds, fewer evil ones, and you can regain the right to be human."

"Your reasoning is sound, but we just can't listen to you. Because we are ghosts; ghosts and humans are like two carts on different roads, not traveling the same path."

"However, if you hand over the treasure, we can intercede with our Ghost Minister on your behalf."

"Otherwise, you will die in our hands! How about it? Bring out the treasure!"

"This ghost can't even speak a word of human language, let alone act like a person."

"Then let humans treat humans, ghosts treat ghosts!"

"The city boy silently chanted a spell, the treasure's spirituality concealed. He said to the two Ox-Head and Horse-Face ghosts: 'Looking at,, we will fulfill our promise and give you the treasure. We only ask one thing of you.'"

"What thing?"

"Please bring the Ghost Minister here; we still have a treasure to give him."

"What treasure?"

"This is not something you can know."
