Chapter 300: Changing Heavens
Old man Wu left, and promised me to inform Mrs. Zhang.
I waited for him on the shore anxiously. Time passes minute by minute, and if I delay a little longer, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a trace of Wushuang.
I stood up and sat down again, thinking to myself, "Do they have any hope of escaping?" The demon path tied them up. After I left, they were four people. The demon path is three people. But the strength of the demon path is too strong. β
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought of a person. I thought of the abbot. Although the abbot doesn't seem to be using Taoism, who is the person hidden in his Buddha beads? Almost no one can compete with the mighty ones.
I was suddenly relieved. With the abbot here, everything should not be a problem.
However, in the next second, I began to worry again: "The abbot was able to get the Buddha beads thanks to Li Xiaoxing's guidance, and Li Xiaoxing was groggy and completely made by demons and dumb people." In this case, the strength of the abbot, the demon path has long been clear? He dared to tie up the abbot so blatantly, I'm afraid he had already calculated it. β
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little disheartened.
I sighed and walked by the river. Suddenly, the river boiled, as if it were boiling a pot.
My heart tightened, calculated the time, and it was time for the paper to come back. Could it be that he brought rescuers?
I involuntarily crouched down and put my hand into the water.
Suddenly, I felt a biting cold. It almost froze my whole body.
I quickly withdrew my hand. I thought: Is there thousands of inconsistencies in this? Otherwise, why is the yin qi so heavy?
I was thinking about it, when suddenly a piece of paper appeared on Wu's head. He opened his mouth and shouted anxiously, "Xu You." β
I don't think he looks like he's bringing rescuers. It's more like something happened. I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" β
Paper Zha Wu was just as he was talking, when suddenly I saw a pitch-black iron chain around his neck, dragged him down, and dragged him down.
I lay down by the river in a panic and shouted, "Old man Wu." "However, the water sparkled and there was no more sound.
I was in a hurry, and I didn't think much about it, so I jumped into the river with a peachwood sword in my hand.
The water was cold, it was bitterly cold. In just a few seconds, I felt like my whole body was freezing.
I struggled twice, held my breath, and plunged under the water, groping for traces of the paper piercing Wu with my eyes closed.
I couldn't touch anything. Except for the cold river water. Paper Zha Wu is a judge, and the one who caught him must be a ghost. The river is so cold. The place where the yin qi is the heaviest must also be the place with the most ghosts.
I endured the icy water and swam slowly. Suddenly, a hand grabbed me from behind.
This hand is damp and cold. It's different from both the Yin and the Judge.
It dragged me all the way to the bottom of the water. I was shocked in my heart, and immediately realized: "This is not a paper Wu, this is an old ghost, an old ghost who has been dead for I don't know how many years." β
I struggled a bit, but I didn't break free. Suddenly it dawned on me. There are water ghosts in this river. The water ghost is looking for a stand-in.
After figuring out the identity of the other party, my heart was put down. Instead of struggling, I let the water ghost grab me and sink to the bottom.
Then, with his backhand, he swung out his peachwood sword and slashed at him.
I could feel the water ghost startling. Then he let go of my hand.
I couldn't see anything underwater. But I felt that yin qi clearly. I don't know why, but I'm feeling unusually sensitive now. With a breath, I could discern the water ghost's gender, age, and the size of the resentment.
I went with the flow and used the two qi of yin and yang. The water ghost is covered in my momentum. He struggled to escape, but I didn't give him that chance. He was sucked closer to me little by little. I reached out, grabbed him, and swam quickly to the surface.
A few seconds later, there was a bang. The pressure in the ears suddenly decreases. I got out of the water.
I greedily breathed in the fresh air outside. Then he dragged the water ghost to the shore.
I stood on the ground, the peachwood sword in my hand pointed at the heart of the water ghost. A little annoyed, he said, "You ruined my business, do you know?" β
The water ghost was drenched and sat on the ground, looking at me tremblingly.
This water ghost is very old. Although he was soaked in water all day, his figure was a little swollen and a little white. But I could still tell that he was dying when he drowned.
The water ghost argued in a low voice: "I have drowned in this deserted place for many years, and I have never been able to find a substitute, but today it is easy to have one, so I can't hold back...... No wonder, no wonder. β
Water ghosts are looking for a stand-in in order to be reincarnated, this kind of thing is not only commonplace for Taoist priests, but also for ordinary people. This lack of morality, when you meet a Taoist priest who is in a bad mood, you will be dissipated directly. If you meet someone who is in a good mood, you can just teach two sentences.
Therefore, the life and death of the water ghost is now in my thoughts. He looked at me with trepidation. A strong apology. I'm afraid that the peachwood sword in my hand will be pierced.
I looked at the water ghost, and suddenly remembered the one on the thin Taoist priest. In just a few months, I went from not knowing anything about college students to being so powerful. can easily force the evil ghost to kowtow and admit his mistakes.
I sighed, suddenly reined in my murderous intentions, and said, "Forget it, you can go." β
The water ghost was a little surprised, and seemed to be unable to believe that I was going to let him go. He walked away with a thousand thanksβ΅ and when he reached the water's edge, he hesitated and turned back and said, "This master." The judge who was arrested just now is your friend? β
I nodded. Then he looked at him: "You also saw what happened just now?" β
The water ghost hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I think you should be careful lately, the world has changed, don't wait for one day to implicate you." β
I looked at the water ghost in amazement: "The underworld has changed?" What do you mean? β
The water ghost said, "The new Hades King is very different from the previous ones. Resolute, jealous and hateful. He saw that there were many cases in the underworld, pending in the balance. Some are hundreds of years old. So he was furious. After a thorough investigation, all those who did not do anything well were arrested. β
I looked at the water ghost in surprise: "Old man Wu just now, was he also arrested because of this?" He's a judge who has just taken office. β
The water ghost shook his head and said, "It's not because of the disadvantage of doing things. He's too much of a businessman. He should be in charge of him. He should also take care of what he shouldn't do, and the king may think that he is too positive and a threat. It just so happened that Judge Wu's hands and feet were not very clean. So he found a mistake and took him. β
I looked at the water ghost in surprise, and the ghost envoy asked: "Brother, is the current Hades King still Zhang Yuan?" β
The water ghost looked around nervously and said, "I can't help it." Master, is the name of Hades also called casually? It's him, and of course it's still him. β
I wondered in my heart, how did my master become like this? Even the paper tied to Wu grabbed it, and he didn't miss the old feelings at all?
The water ghost seemed to open the conversation box and said to me: "This place is very remote, and there are basically not a few people who see it, but there are some ghosts, so I still know a little bit about the underworld." β
I nodded and said to the water ghost, "Do you know what will happen to Paper Zha Wu after he is captured? β
The water ghost shook his head: "No matter how Judge Wu is, he is also the number one person in the underworld. If you can't punish the doctor, you can't die. Then he said as if he was a little melancholy: "Everyone says that the new Hades seems to be going to put the underworld in order." Everything is about to turn upside down. β
I looked at him strangely: "Shouldn't you be happy that the Hades have rectified the underworld?" From now on, he will no longer be bullied by the bad and the judges. Or, drowned ghosts can also be reincarnated freely, which is a good thing. Why do you look melancholy? β
The water ghost shook his head: "I've lived for hundreds of years. I'm used to seeing things in the world, and I'm about to become a refiner. Those little ghosts don't understand, but I understand that no matter how much the king rectifies, it's useless. If a few judges who don't do their jobs are inconsequential, will the substitutes be diligent? I'm afraid that after a long time, I will still slack off. Deal with a few unjust cases that have been squeezed for a long time, will the world be clear? I don't think so. β
