59. Tearing the White Lotus (13)
Princess? I've heard that the Emperor of the Underworld has a younger sister, but I heard that the Emperor of the Underworld's sister is young and looks very ordinary. This rumor can't be distorted like this, right?
Lu Qianjin thought wildly in her heart, staring at the princess's face, and didn't take any of it off.
The other party was stared at by her strangely, and the fish didn't feed anymore, so he raised his head and looked at her: "You are Lu Qianjin?" ”
She nodded and asked hesitantly, "Are you...... The younger sister of the Emperor of the Dead? ”
The woman shook her head, the gold tassel on her head swaying. As soon as she wanted to speak, she saw a man in a black robe walk out of the inner hall, followed by a man's voice: "Scarlet, why did you get here?" ”
The woman looked back at him, "Can't I come here?" ”
"That's not what I meant." The man walked up to her and said softly, "Your soul is seriously injured, and there are too many ghosts coming and going here in the main hall, which is not good for your injuries." As he spoke, he took off his black robe and draped it over her, "Go back first, I'll wait to see you." Come on, send the princess back in scarlet clothes. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, two maidservants came up and helped her to the inner sanctum.
Only then did the man look at Lu Qianjin, his eyes were cold and silent, and even the words he said were ghostly: "Lord Lu Lou dares to come to my underworld alone, is he ready to give his life out?" ”
Lu Qianjin looked at him, and then looked at the black and white impermanence behind him who was trying his best to pretend that he didn't exist: "I don't know my life, in the eyes of Emperor Yi Ji, how much is it worth?" ”
The Immortal Emperor didn't answer her words, but changed the subject: "Since you have come to the Underworld, you must have already discovered what happened in the Human Realm. A large number of human beings have died, the evil spirits in the human world have gathered, the evil spirit has gradually thickened, and the workload of the underworld has increased. ”
"It's not me who directs it." Instead of dealing with those issues, what did he call her for here?
"Qianjinlou goes against the sky/things and takes away the life span of human beings. The number of souls in advance of life and death has increased, but the time for reincarnation is not yet available, and the ghosts of the underworld have gathered in large numbers, and prices have risen......" The Emperor of the Underworld glanced at her slowly, "How can I settle this account with you?" ”
I have only heard of such things as prices in the human world, but I have not heard of the underworld, Lu Qianjin said that he has a long knowledge. "It's a big deal, I'll go back and burn more paper money for you, and this kind of thing in exchange for life expectancy, sorry, I can't do it."
The Emperor of the Underworld seemed to be waiting for her to say this, and then said: "The previous things can be written off, and even if you want to collect the life span of mortals later, I will not stop you." ”
The conditions are too generous, Lu Qianjin is suspicious, "What do you want from me?" "She doesn't think that the Emperor of the Underworld also needs to do something that Qianjinlou needs to do. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to say that the scarlet princess was not in good health just now? Damaged souls?
She understood a little: "You want to use the power of Qianjinlou to gather vitality for her and use it to repair her soul body?" Who is she? ”
This feeling of being kept in the dark and not knowing anything is really not good at all, since the Emperor of the Underworld wants to use her, he must also let her be used clearly. Confused, you can't do anything.
The Immortal Emperor sighed and waved his hand to let the black and white impermanence continue. Slowly walked to the fish tank and raised his hand to let Lu Qianjin come over: "You come and see." ”
Lu Qianjin walked over to take a look, only to find that there were no fish in the fish tank at all, but a scene from the human world, which was divided into countless small grids, and there were different pictures inside. Lu Qianjin even saw the picture of Lu Lili's exam in one of the grids.
However, the picture that should have been calm was spread with a strange black fog. From far and near, it gradually spreads to the human side. The people on the side seemed to be invisible, only those who were entangled in the black fog died bloody and terrifying in various ways.
Lu Qianjin raised his hand and touched it, those were just phantoms thrown on the water, and as soon as they were touched, they were all shattered. Only the watery meaning of the fingertips proves that they have ever existed.
"They magnify the greed of mortals, collect the resentment and evil desires in the hearts of mortals, until they die, and then absorb their souls. If it is not cleared, it will be a disaster for the human world. ”
He had already said it so clearly, of course Lu Qianjin understood what he meant. It's just that...... Making a deal with the underworld, her appetite is not so big. What's more...... "Disaster or the rest, it's none of my business." I'm only here because my customers have come across this incident and come to check the truth/picture. Now that things are clear, I am not obligated to help you solve the problem in the underworld. ”
She turned to leave, but heard the voice of the Hades King behind her: "Do you really think you can walk?" ”
She paused and looked back at him. The cold golden step shook the tassel around the ear, bringing a shivering chill. "Listen to the meaning of your words, Emperor, these black fogs are nothing to you. If you can solve the problem yourself, why bother to come to me to deal with it? ”
"I can't do it." Emperor Yi Ji seemed to feel a little embarrassed to speak, but finally said it: "These black fogs spread out from the underworld, as long as I make a move, I will be discovered by the Heavenly Dao." At that time...... I don't care about those punishments, but Scarlet, she can't stand it. ”
Lu Qianjin was shocked: "The appearance of these black fogs has something to do with you?" You're already the Emperor of Hades, what do you want to do with them? ”
He closed his eyes, and there was a tiredness on his face: "They are the condensation of the souls of the ghosts. The scarlet soul body is injured very strictly, zhòng......"
He was vague, but Lu Qianjin heard it clearly. The scarlet princess's soul body was injured, which was something that even the Emperor of Hades couldn't do. So he went off the rails with his sword and used the ghost's soul body to repair the scarlet princess. But since it's said to be a ghost, can it be easily used?
Later, it must have been the ghost's soul body gathering more and more, and finally directly separated from the body of the scarlet princess and became a black mist. There are so many powerful ghosts and evil spirits, but fortunately, it is still in the form of black mist. If the body is repaired, the consequences are even more unimaginable.
Lu Qianjin opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something condemning, but she didn't say anything. She also went against the sky for the sake of Yingzheng, and would rather take someone else's life than let him live. Emperor Yi Ji collected the ghost body for the woman she loved, what qualification did she have to condemn?
"There are many talented people in the human world, why did you choose me?"
"Do you think these black fogs can stir up storms? They are nothing but sane things. The Immortal Emperor said, "The person standing behind them has a relationship with someone in your Qianjin Building. Only you can settle this matter. ”
"Who's that guy?"
"You'll find out then."
It seems that he won't sue himself, and this errand probably can't be avoided. Lu Qianjin said: "I am at a loss in this transaction, except that I will no longer interfere with my collection of mortal lifespans in the future, you must give me some more benefits, right?" Qianjinlou never does a loss-making business. ”
I didn't expect it to be so easy to agree, and the Emperor of the Underworld raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that when the Heavenly Dao didn't find out about the Qianjin Building, they didn't find out about the emperors and emperors in the Six Realms?" Lu Qianjin, don't you want to think about it, why are the people sent to encircle and suppress you so weak, and why is everyone turning a blind eye to what you are doing? ”
In fact, the Six Realms have been opening back doors to them. Think about it, the Buddha sent a monk who couldn't do anything but chant scriptures, and the underworld sent a weak one, and a piece of gold knocked him out. Not to mention the Heavenly Realm and God Realm, he didn't send anyone over at all.
It's really weird that something I hadn't thought of was brought up at this moment. Lu Qianjin was shocked: "Why? ”
The Immortal Emperor, who had been expressionless and cold like a stone sculpture, suddenly smiled, a very slight smile, but the appearance of his entire face directly rose to a level. "As long as you handle this matter well, I will tell you who the person your master is looking for and where he has always been."
Wu Meiren's purpose in letting Lu Qianjin run the Qianjin Building was not just to resurrect Yingzheng, she had known this for a long time. There are three questions that have plagued her for 2,000 years, and they remain unsolved to this day. One of them is, who is Wu Meiren looking for.
The other two are, who Wu Meiren is, and who she is.
This secret has been sealed in the dust of the years, blowing up the dust, flying and rippling, but I still can't find an answer.
The expression on Lu Qianjin's face was unpredictable, and he finally nodded and agreed: "Deal!" ”
Hearing her agree, the Immortal Emperor secretly sighed. In addition to letting the people in the Qianjin Building do it, I really can't think of a better candidate. "I'll let Black and White Impermanence help you, I can't get out of the underworld, if there's anything that can't be solved, you can let them send me a message."
Lu Qianjin looked disdainful: "The price of your underworld is so high, can't the dignified Emperor of the Underworld even afford a mobile phone?" ”
The news still has to be transmitted by people, and this communication should be blocked to what kind of process.
The Emperor of the Underworld pretended not to see her, clapped his hands, and walked out of the inner sanctum with a severed head. Lu Qianjin looked at it, why is this ghost so familiar? When she turned her head hanging behind her back, she saw that this was the unlucky girl who came to the underworld with her by boat?
Dare to love that the Emperor of the Underworld was not there just now, just to pick up this ghost?
"She is a ghost who was violated by the black fog and died a tragic death, and she seems to be good friends with your current customer, Lu Lili. Ahem, buy one get one free, you can bring her back too. ”
The Emperor of the Underworld is really embarrassed to say that this girl died a tragedy, and her body has not been burned, so she was originally going to be erased from her memory and return to her soul to continue living. Since Lu Qianjin wants to return to the human world, she will help him bring this girl back together.
A good friend of Lu Lili? Lu Qianjin stared at the dangling head and thought for a long time, and finally remembered, isn't this the girl who became good friends with the white lotus in her last life......
What's it called?
"Cheng Yan?!"
