Maybe it's just a one-sided relationship, but it's enough to change the fate of a lifetime. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"We don't have time, we have to leave before the rooster crows, or we'll be left here forever!" The old Taoist priest warned and urged us.

In order to pay off the debts owed by our fathers, we need to pay them with other people's lives, and I can't accept it, and my two companions can't accept it, but the bookkeeper coldly reprimanded: "Then you can stay and pay it yourself!" ā€

Brother Zhenmin responded with his head high: "Stay, stay, I can't harm others for myself, otherwise I won't end well!" ā€

The old Taoist priest was busy trying to persuade him, but Brother Zhenmin asked rhetorically: "Daoist, you are a monk, or an anonymous disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, how can you let us harm others for our own sake?" Even if the law doesn't punish me, I will be uneasy in my heart, I can't do it! ā€

Yang Luji looked at me, waiting for my statement, I stood next to Brother Zhenmin, and the pony also glanced at the old Taoist priest and followed.

The old guy looked helpless and said indignantly: "Since you don't listen to the advice of the poor road, then there is nothing I can do." ā€

The Ghost Emperor's face changed, and he scolded coldly: "This is your own choice, the deity will explain in advance that you voluntarily stay as a slave, and you must not disobey the deity's orders, otherwise the deity can send you to hell, if you dare to escape, it will not only make your own soul scattered, but also implicate your family!" ā€

I immediately responded, "Even if I stay with you and do hard labor, I won't hurt anyone!" ā€

The Ghost Emperor waved his hand and motioned for Mr. Ledger to take out the contract.

The contract was written in black and white, and although it was in traditional Chinese, I could still understand it, so I asked, "Your Highness, I don't know what kind of hard work we have to do if we stay?" ā€

Yang Luji looked at me with a surprised look.

The Ghost Emperor said, "Midorihime, let's introduce their errand!" ā€

Midorihime answered, and said frankly: "If you stay now, then you must sign a contract of sale and become the lowest ghost, responsible for carrying out His Highness's orders, usually to create disasters for the world, send diseases, and take their lives." ā€

Brother Zhenmin was stunned when he heard this, and I was also surprised, it turned out that the ghost cha did this kind of thing. Could it be that all the evils, sickness and death in the world are the work of demons?

The tent man and the old Taoist priest showed a sneer, and the ghost emperor explained: "The current world is becoming more and more impetuous, more and more eager for quick success, for the sake of money and power, unscrupulous means, no way, who makes more and more people in the world!" The duty of the oni is to reduce the number of people in the yang world, and to warn the world that if you decide, sign the contract! ā€

I hesitated with the contract, and quickly calculated in my heart, if I stayed, I don't know how many disasters it will bring to the world? But if I were to pay off the debt with twenty lives, I couldn't bear it.

Midorihime advised me: "Actually, it's not bad to be a ghost, at least I control the fate of many people!" ā€

When we were all at a loss, we heard the rooster crow outside.

There is no time, we have to choose now.

But Brother Zhenmin and Pony were completely blinded, and I immediately said to the Ghost Emperor, "We choose to pay off the debt we owe with other people's lives!" We don't sign this contract! ā€

When the tent man heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "It's late, the rooster has already crowed!" ā€

I immediately approached the old Taoist priest and urged, "Take us out of here quickly, otherwise you won't get anything!" ā€

The old Taoist priest looked at us, and I looked at the Ghost Emperor and begged him to let us go.

Mr. Tent ordered the two "snowmen" in the main hall to detain us, and Yang Luji immediately reprimanded the two "snowmen", and then pleaded with the Ghost Emperor.

"Please let them go, Your Highness, they will definitely repay their debts in full!" Midorihime pleads with the Ghost Emperor.

"How do you know they'll be able to pay their debts on time?" The Ghost Emperor asked.

Yang Luji immediately said: "The slave family is willing to vouch for the three of them, if they fail to repay the full amount when it is due, the slave family will personally go to claim their souls and hand them over to His Highness to dispose of!" ā€

The Ghost Emperor nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to signal that we could leave.

The tent clerk obviously didn't want the three of us to leave like this, so he warned in a cold voice: "The rooster has already crowed, but I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!" ā€

The old Taoist priest immediately ordered our servants: "Follow me, I won't be responsible for rescuing if I fall behind!" He bowed down to the Ghost Emperor to say goodbye, then turned around and hurried out of the main hall, and we all hurriedly followed, and when I walked out of the main hall, I looked back and saw Midorihime's reluctant eyes.

The tent man smiled darkly. Midorihime wanted to come out to say goodbye to us, but he stretched out his arm to stop her.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the ancient temple, the old Taoist priest was blocked by an invisible wall, and Brother Zhenmin didn't have time to stop, so he immediately hit him on the back.

I grabbed the pony and the night sky was very dark.

"Oh no, we're blocked by the barrier between the two realms!" The old Taoist priest explained.

Brother Zhenmin immediately asked: "What should I do then?" Are we really unable to get out of here? ā€

The old Taoist priest replied calmly: "Fortunately, the poor Dao has already taken precautions!" He immediately turned around, grabbed three Dao talismans from his pocket, recited them in his mouth, ignited the Dao talismans, and ordered: "Open your mouth!" ā€

Seeing that we did not react, he ordered again: "You all open your mouths!" ā€

Brother Zhenmin immediately did so, and the old guy immediately stuffed a burning Dao talisman into his mouth.

I felt sick when I saw it, but the old Taoist priest must have a reason for doing this, so I had to open my mouth too, and a hot mass stuck in my throat, I couldn't swallow it, I couldn't spit it out.

When I was uncomfortable, I heard heavy footsteps in the yard behind me, so I turned my head to see two "snowmen" slowly walking towards us.

The two "snowmen" walked towards us, shaking the chains, as if trying to capture us, and the snow on their bodies gradually melted, revealing their dark clothes, and a foul smell, like the smell of decomposing corpses, and I hurriedly put on my mask.

The lanterns hanging at the entrance of the ancient temple were lit, and by the light of the lanterns, I saw that the two "snowmen" showed their tattered clothes and rotten faces.

"Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law, and the heavenly soldiers and generals will come to help me quickly! Break! The old Taoist priest made a decision, and saw a bright light emanating from the snow outside the main gate of the temple, illuminating our way.

The old Taoist priest stretched out his arms and grabbed a person with one hand, but he only pulled me down, and Brother Zhenmin hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed me.

But the two "snowmen" caught up with me, shook the chain in their hands, wrapped themselves around my ankles, and dragged them into the yard with all their might.

I grabbed Zhenmin's hand, and Pony reached out to answer me.

The old Taoist priest immediately scolded: "Let go quickly, otherwise none of us will want to leave here!" He grabbed my two companions and rushed out of the courtyard gate against the strong wind.

The strength of the two "snowmen" is getting stronger and stronger, I feel that both of my feet are being dragged and dislocated, and the hands of Brother Zhenmin and Pony are also being pulled tightly, "Don't let go, hold on!" "Brother Zhenmin told me.

But the pony could no longer hold on, as soon as the hand was released, my body retreated, Brother Zhenmin also had to let go, I was dragged into the courtyard by the two "snowmen", and watched the old Taoist priest rush out of the far door with Brother Zhenmin and the pony, and quickly fled under the light response.

The chains of these two "snowmen" were locked on me, and I was in despair.
