Chapter (6) Life and death
The ghost venerable lay beside Yan Yunqing and slept in his clothes.
In the early morning of the next day, Ghost Venerable woke up from his confusion, grabbed Yan Yunqing's hand and sniffed it fiercely, rubbed it, and then smiled, "Morning! Yan Yunqing couldn't respond, but the ghost venerable looked as usual, and gently dropped a kiss on Yan Yunqing's forehead.
Yan Yunqing's hair was a little messy, and after the ghost venerable washed up, he began to help Yan Yunqing wash, help Yan Yunqing change some dirty clothes, gently wipe Yan Yunqing's body with warm water, and then put on new clothes.
Holding the wooden comb, he patiently combed Yan Yunqing's hair again and again, and after doing all this, he carried Yan Yunqing back to the bed, tucked the futon for him, and the ghost venerable half-knelt on the ground, leaned over to Yan Yunqing's ear and whispered, "Aqing, I'll go out and come back soon, you wait for me." ”
After Ghost Venerable finished speaking, he got up, put an enchantment ban beside Yan Yunqing, and he went to the "Elders' House" alone.
When the ghost first arrived at the "House of Elders", he thought that this was a temporary courtyard for a certain royal family and nobles, and the "House of Elders" was surprisingly large, with countless courtyards, each courtyard was ingenious and unique in style, and there were almost no duplicates.
The guards of the "House of Elders" are also unusually large, and there is almost no space during the shift change.
Across the distance, the ghost zun saw the five-story building, almost without much thought, the ghost zun directly dodged to the door of the forbidden building, he held the soul whip in one hand, and took out the soul snatcher hairpin in the other hand to attack the enchantment, taking advantage of a small breakthrough in the enchantment, the ghost zun immediately dodged in.
The scene in the building, so that the ghost Zun's heart couldn't help but start to panic, there was nothing in it, fortunately he quickly calmed down, closed his eyes, and felt the fluctuation of life and death, after all, life and death were once his belongings, and there was always a connection in his mind, Ghost Zun closed his eyes, it was pitch black, but he looked down, but it was amazing, on the dark floor, suddenly there was a flash of golden light, and the ghost looked at it, the life and death book was hidden in the ground of this empty building.
The ghost venerable slowly sank into the ground, and along the golden path, the ghost venerable went straight to the direction of the center as if walking on a single-plank bridge, and without a moment of hesitation, the ghost venerable came to the huge booklet in the next moment.
The ghost took out a pen from the storage ring, and the appearance of the pen was almost exactly the same as that of the ghost lamp, but the pattern carved on it was the opposite, and it was rumored that the judge's pen was in pairs, and now I think it was true.
He flipped through the booklet, trying to find another page about Yan Yunqing, his hand movements became faster and faster, and finally he found that page, and it was really the same as he guessed, Yan Yunqing's life was only the last point.
Using the pen of another judge in the rumor, the ghost zun drew an ancient pattern on his hand, which was somewhat similar to the pattern of the gluttonous old man, but the pattern on the ghost zun's hand was not as evil as the gluttony, but emitted the same golden light as the huge life and death thin, and the golden light and the life and death thin slowly resonated, and gradually merged together, from the ghost zun's body, a ray of golden light was drawn.
The light converged into a golden liquid like a stream of water, little by little, Yan Yunqing's life grid was filled with one grid after another, and words gradually appeared in the air, and the ghost venerable seemed to look at the word with some feeling, it was the life and death book that sensed him, showing that the life and death book was hidden in the life and death book, and the page record that belonged to him alone, although he was not in the Five Realms, but this life and death book was created by him at the beginning, and it was naturally able to sense with him.
Ghost Venerable looked at every row and column on the record, his pupils shrank, and then he realized that he saw that the life grid displayed on his page, the original endless life grid suddenly appeared at the end of the place, his life grid quickly dropped to half, and then slowly decreased as he continued to fill Yun Qing's life grid, Yun Qing's life grid filled up with the passage of time, and the ghost zun smiled with relief.
He withdrew his hand, and the hidden record slowly disappeared into the air, and the ghost venerable stumbled out of the empty building, outside the empty building, heavily guarded outside, just waiting outside, waiting for him to come out.
The ghost zun looked at the messengers with a cold expression, before he could make a move, those messengers rushed up like a swarm, floating in the air waiting for the ghost zun to come back of the soul whip, stopped in front of those messengers, a whip whipped, the messengers were like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, scattered in different directions, the other messengers hesitated for a moment, but still rushed forward, was whipped to the ground, the ghost zun reached out and took back the soul whip and went directly into the air.
The servants were stunned, but they had no choice but to report to the elders of the House of Elders immediately.
Ghost Venerable returned to the Shura Palace, endured the fishy sweetness that rolled up in his throat, slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and brushed away the messy hair that stopped Yan Yunqing's face, in the end it was still too reluctant, now, he has done everything he can, and the rest is up to Yun Qing's own.
Ghost Venerable leaned down, put his somewhat pale lips on Yan Yunqing's lips, and let out a silent sigh, Yunqing, promise me, wake up quickly, okay? Difu and Nian'er are waiting for you......
House of Elders.
As soon as the servant who came to report finished speaking, the five elders in charge of the House of Elders became angry, and he slapped the case and said, "What are you eating! So many people have fled by him! What shame do you have for my elders' house? ”
The messenger shuddered for a moment, and said helplessly, "Fifth Elder, that person is using a high-grade magic weapon, and I really can't wait." ”
Ritual weapons? When did this underworld come to the masters? The fifth elder stood still with his hands behind his back, frowned and walked back and forth a few steps, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Is that person masked?" Have you ever seen your appearance clearly, what are your characteristics? ”
When the officer heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the five elders with some trepidation, and said, "That man is unmasked, and he is dressed in white......
"Unmasked? Such an arrogant and extremely evil person, what does this thief look like? Has anyone ever recognized? The Fifth Elder continued to ask.
The messenger pursed his lips and muttered for a moment before he said intermittently, "Some messengers said that the person's appearance, clothing, and all of them are not much different from the new impermanent lord from the underworld. ”
The fifth elder raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and shouted, "You, you, you wait, you mean to say that the new impermanence has trespassed on our elders' house?" ”
The servant looked up at the five elders suddenly, and the five elders' eyes narrowed slightly, and their eyes looked at him gloomily, "Yes or no?" ”
The officer hung his head and finally replied, "Yes." ”
The fifth elder's hand clenched, gritted his teeth, and said, "You stand down." ”
When the officer heard this, he withdrew.
The fifth elder's face was gloomy, and he said to the errand officer who was guarding outside, "Come on, invite the other elders over!" ”
The speed of the servants was naturally extremely fast, and the four elders walked in unhurriedly, and the big elder smiled with a wrinkled face, "Old Five, why are you in such a hurry to summon a few of us here?" ”
The fifth elder snorted coldly when he heard this, "Besides, our Elders' House has become a place where thieves come and go freely!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" The second elder asked out loud.
The Third Elder also snorted coldly, and put his hands into his sleeves, "What can it be?" The two brothers only care about their own happiness, of course they don't know, this forbidden building is broken into, you two are good, and that leisure and elegance are playing chess there! ”
The second old man's eyes narrowed into a slit, his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "The forbidden building has been broken into?" How so? That life and death are thin! ”
"I didn't lose it, but it's almost there, no one knows how that person got in, if it weren't for the golden light of life and death, we might not be able to catch someone!" The four elders leaned aside and said lazily.
The Great Elder wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with his cuffs, and stammered, "Then that, that, what, isn't the life and death book not lost?" Since you haven't lost it, then it's okay! ”
The third elder sneered when he heard this, "It's okay, of course it's okay, if you lose it again, who will be responsible for this?" You? ”
The Great Elder was dumbfounded, and stood there awkwardly for no other reason, originally the ruling elder of the House of Elders was held by him, but because he was too lax about the safety of the life and death book, the life and death book was almost stolen out of the underworld, and he was indeed to blame that time, since that time, the position of the ruling elder has never fallen on him, and the five elders, including himself, no one wants to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Therefore, in order to prevent that accident from happening again, they chose the five elders who were the most cautious and thoughtful to be the elders in power.
The elders were all shocked, and the five elders waited for the four elders to stop speaking before finally speaking, "Do you know who the little thief who came to steal the life and death book is?" ”
The third elder waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't sell it, just say it!" We all listen to you! ”
Several elders glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
The fifth elder was extremely unwilling and said, "That little thief is actually a newcomer to the underworld!" ”
"What do you say? The impermanence of the newly appointed underworld came to the House of Elders to steal the book of life and death? The three elders were surprised, their elders' house was so heavily guarded, how could a little impermanence break in, could it be that the other four realms came in disguised? The more the three elders thought about it, the tighter their brows wrinkled, if this was the case, then they must catch the impermanence that escaped to prevent future troubles.
The four elders also frowned and said, "This matter must be severely punished, otherwise how will our Elders' House gain a foothold in the underworld in the future?" Wouldn't anyone dare to bully us? ”
The Great Elder said softly, "It's better for us to set up a wanted warrant to arrest this impermanence, and then the five of us will judge it together, severely punish that person, and then announce it to everyone in the underworld to set the record straight." ”
Hearing this, the Fifth Elder glanced up at the Great Elder and sneered, "Big brother, you finally said something human. ”
When the Great Elder heard this, his face turned red, but he did not refute it.
The Fifth Elder nodded thoughtfully, and then he turned to the Third Elder and said, "Third Brother, this matter will be handled by you, remember one thing, start with the Yama Palace, it is best to find the judge boy, I remember that Ren Wuchang seems to have been selected by him." ”
The third elder nodded, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, third brother does things, don't worry, this time there will definitely be no mistakes." ”
