"Are you sure, not kidding?" I asked.

"You think I'm joking?" He asked rhetorically, but the merchant was really not the kind of person who would joke. I shook my head and said that he didn't look like it, and the merchant said, "Wait for you and me to shoot together, be clean, don't let one go, no one will notice." ”

"Good! What is the crime of robbing the palace of King Qin Guang alive? I asked.

The merchant smiled coldly and said: "You dare to attack the ghost gate, you are still afraid of this crime, don't worry, they can't catch it, they are not guilty." ”

"Makes sense!" I couldn't help but understand.

Next, the merchant went straight to Qin Guang's palace, and the guard came up to ask, he didn't say a word, his hand moved, and he pointed at the guard's eyebrows, and the guard fell.

At the vermilion gate, the merchant raised his hand and was shocked.

There was only a muffled sound and the door creaked open.

When I went in with him, I found that a few imps inside had fallen to the ground and had not moved, and the thigh-thick latch at the door was broken in the middle.

The bronze lock on his body did not retaliate, which means that the magic power he used was only a drop in the bucket.

Followed by.

The two of us fought side by side and had a big fight.

After all, it is the palace of Qin Guangwang, which is heavily guarded, and it is indeed not covered, there are Yin soldiers, ghost generals, little ghosts, not to mention thousands. However, these characters, under the two of us, are nothing at all.

Three down, five divided by two, all down.

However, there are always fish that slip through the net, and there are those who escape to report the news. The merchant said, it doesn't matter, when they finish reporting the letter, we will already get out, so it's okay.

After cleaning up the guards of the Qin Guang Palace, the two of us went to the inner hall of the palace together.

From afar, you can see it.

On the desk in the inner hall, there is a book of life and death, which exudes a cyan light. Each of the ten halls of Hades has a book of life and death, all of which are fascicles, and this one is one of them.

I wanted to step over and get it, but before I could think about it, a golden light hit me and directly shocked me out. The merchant turned over and grabbed me.

I raised my hand to block the golden light, but fortunately I was protected by dragon scale armor, but I was not hurt, but it hurt a little. The merchant said: "Such an important thing, he Qin Guangwang is on guard!" ”

"What then?" I asked.

"I'll just do it!"

So saying, the merchant walked towards the inner sanctum. When he went to the bookcase, he took the book of life and death, and then came out of the inner sanctum, and threw it to me.

I looked at him in surprise, and he said, "King Qin Guang's spell is useless to me, you don't have to be surprised. ”

At this time, I was finally able to understand that the merchant said before, no matter where he is in the underworld, he can come and go freely, and this is not covered.

When I got the book of life and death, I opened it directly.

In the book of life and death, in the main text, there is no name of Weiyang. However, in the special category, the first thing I saw was my own name. After that, there was my grandfather's name, Li Daochang's name, and Weiyang's name. One person, one page, behind the names of the four of us, are marked in red letters, and they die at the end of their lives, four words.

"It seems that it's not just your good looks, but even the names of the four of you have been written. In fact, the four of you were not originally within the jurisdiction of the Book of Life and Death. King Qin Guang wrote your names into the book of life and death, just to take you into his own hands for the convenience of his position. ”

"The four of you, as long as you lose your lives, the underworld will definitely send a little ghost to hook the soul as soon as possible. You have had an experience, you should have a deep understanding, that Qin Zhong is the minions of King Qin Guang, you understand. ”

After the merchant finished speaking, I asked him: "But Weiyang is a yin body, and she writes her name in the book of life and death, what will happen?" ”

"The most important function of the book of life and death is to determine the life and death of people. The name of a ghost is not allowed to be written in the book of life and death. If the name of the ghost is written in the book of life and death, death is equivalent to the soul is scattered, even if it is the soul of the Phoenix clan, it is the same. Therefore, if your good friend dies in the battle of the wild immortals, it is equivalent to a soul scattered, not reborn in the fire. ”

As soon as the merchant said this, I was a little worried, and he saw my worry, and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Although she is scattered, this is the role of the book of life and death. The things in the book of life and death are actually reversible, especially the content that does not conform to the provisions of the Yin Law and is added without authorization. ”

"What do you mean, this book of life and death can be modified?" I asked.

"Of course, the book of life and death can be modified, otherwise, King Qin Guang filled in your name like this? However, to revise the book of life and death, one thing is needed, and that is the judge's pen. The merchant said.

I've heard that there are four major judges in the underworld, and I have seen Zhong Kui, the chief of punishment, Cui Yu, and the other two major judges, but I have not seen them. The merchant told me that the person in charge of the judge's pen is one of the other two judges, Lu Zhidao, Lu Judge. However, the merchant also said that Lu Zhidao is a person who is upright and never attached to any faction in the underworld, so it is impossible to borrow the judge's pen from him.

"Can't borrow it, should we also steal and rob it?" I asked.

"Of course this can't be done, Lu Zhidao's judge's pen is carried with him, and it will not be placed in his mansion. Therefore, there is only one way, and that is to take the book of life and death and come to Lu Zhidao to avenge his grievances. Lu Dao is upright, and he will not act according to anyone's face, if he sees the situation in the book of life and death with his own eyes, he will definitely erase this content with a judge's pen. ”

"However, Lin Yi, you have to think clearly, this move is a risky move. Now the whole underworld is staring at you, and you are aiding and abetting the abuse, attacking the ghost gate, and if you want to be guilty, this crime is not light. In addition, although you are for the purpose of collecting evidence, you have stolen the book of life and death, which is another major crime. ”

When the merchant said this, I said directly: "You must have a solution, right?" ”

He sighed and said, "Lin Yi, you are really a bottomless pit. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to the capital city!"

"Xudu?" I wondered.

"Lu Zhidao is in Xudu, of course we have to go to Xudu." The merchant said.

Then, the merchant and I went out from the back door of King Qinguang's mansion and walked along a small road for about ten minutes. From afar, I saw Cui Fujun, waiting for us over there.

Next to him, there was a black sedan chair and some sturdy blue-faced imps.

I have seen Qin Zhong sit in the black sedan chair, and only those who have status in the underworld are qualified to sit in this kind of sedan chair.

When we went over, Cui Fujun said: "The little ghosts who escaped from the Qin Guang Palace, all the little ghosts under my command have been done. Wait a minute, I'll go over and clean up the scene of King Qinguang's mansion, those substitute ghosts, I am all ready, they are all experienced, don't worry! ”

The merchant nodded, and then said: "If you can drag it out, if you can't drag it, you don't have to force it, your identity can't be exposed yet!" Wait a minute, you will hand over the matter here to Zhong Kui, and after we set off for half an hour, you will set off for Xudu again, and everything will be done according to the plan. ”

"Yes!"

Cui Fujun said.

After finishing speaking, the merchant and I got on the black sedan chair together, and eight strong imps took turns to carry the sedan chair and sent the two of us all the way to the capital.

I don't have any idea about the underworld, and I don't know where the ghost gate is, where the capital city is, and how far it is.

Along the way, the merchant sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

He should be healing himself, after all, the backlash he received outside the Ghost Gate seems to be very serious, and he must not have recovered yet.

"We used to know each other, right?" I asked.

"Yes."

"A friend?"

"It's hard to say."

"Will they be friends in the future?"

"It's hard to say."

"Then why are you still helping me? If it's not a friend, I'm afraid it's an enemy! ”

"Sometimes, it doesn't matter." When he said this, he opened his eyes. He looked at me, and the look in his eyes was so meaningful that it was hard to see. And I have never looked so directly into the eyes of the merchant, but at this time, it happened to meet his eyes.

His eyes are indescribable, in short, deep, like an infernal hell, and if you look at it more, it will be as if you will fall into the abyss.

I immediately looked away and said, "A friend is a friend, an enemy is an enemy, there is a clear distinction, is there a time when the distinction is clear?" ”

"Yes, sometimes it's just vague. Lin Yi, do you think that behind you, you are only carrying ghost beings? The merchant asked.

His question, which surprised me even more, was that I asked, "What do you mean?" "I am the Ghost Dao Sect Master, and the one I carry on my shoulders is naturally a Ghost Dao being.

"Lin Yi, your grandfather is not a person in the ghost path, and Li Nanhua is not a person in the ghost path. You don't have any relationship with your grandfather, and you have no friendship with that Li Nanhua, why do you think they chose you and stood by your side? Do you think your grandfather would be so coincidental that he happened to go into the mountains to pick up medicine and pick you up? In the deep mountains and old forests, Ye Weiyang happens to be able to borrow a life for you and let you survive? ”

The merchant asked me a few questions in a row, which made me a little confused. I didn't expect him to know so much about me.

"Your grandfather is a mountain god, go into the mountains to collect medicine, does he need it, do you believe it? That's just his rhetoric. It's no coincidence that he picked you up in the mountains! The merchant continued.

The merchant's words are reasonable, so I have to think carefully. And that's something I've overlooked. In this world, there are so many coincidences.
