Chapter 247: Forcibly Asking for a Soul
Chapter 247: Forcibly Asking for a Soul
Seeing that the chief was angry, the ghost official hurriedly stabilized his mind and said, "Sir, something really happened. Then tell me what had just happened.
After listening to the report, Niu Tou asked in his heart: "How could such a strange thing happen?" It has been thousands of years since he was in charge of the soul detention work, and it is the first time he has heard of such a thing.
The bull-headed fox looked at his men suspiciously, seeing that their expressions did not look like they were lying. Glancing at the broken magic weapon again, he believed what his subordinates said. It's really evil, and such a strange thing can happen.
Niu Tou stood up and said, "Brother Ma, let's go and take a look?"
The history books describe these two soul arresters as very terrifying, but in fact, their appearance is not ugly, but personable. The horror that the people say is actually related to the origin of their names.
Niu Tou's original surname was Niu, and after his death, he was promoted to the chief of the ghost officials, because he was mainly responsible, and the ghost clan called him Niu Tou. And Ma Mian's surname was Ma before his death, and he was actually the deputy chief of the ghost officials. Deputy, speaking basically doesn't count, commonly known as noodles. Later, everyone simply jokingly called it horse noodles.
If the cow hair speaks, the horse face will of course follow, put down the wine glass and the cow head and come to the world. They soon found Xiufeng Mountain, and they also happened to meet the ninth sister of the spirit fox who wanted to save the red flames.
The ghost officials don't have much to do with the Earth Immortal Realm, so they don't know the Nine Sisters of the Spirit Fox, so they are also very polite to speak.
Linghu Jiumei knows these two ghost officials, but she has no friendship, in order to save the red flames, coupled with these many years of self-cultivation, Linghu Jiumei made an exception and said with a strange attitude: "Two ghost officials, I am the ninth sister of the earth fairy Linghu." The soul in my hands is under the nephew. She was only infected with the plague and did not die, and I will go and save her, please make it convenient for the two of you. ”
"Spirit Fox Ninth Sister, Earth Immortal?" the bull head repeated questioningly, as if he was a little impressed.
The Ghost Court, also known as the underworld as the dust people, is an independent kingdom that stands side by side with the Immortal Court and has a complete organizational system. Specializes in managing the afterlife of all kinds of creatures, especially the ownership of dust people.
Although the Ghost Court and the Immortal Court are not the same system, there is still information communication. Because the list of earth immortals who are intended to be immortals must be notified to the ghost court, their souls are not allowed to be accepted. In the recent briefing information, there is the name of the ninth sister of the spirit fox, so the bull head has an impression.
Since he is a person who wants to become a celestial immortal, even the chief of the soul-detaining ghost officials who has a very high status in the ghost court will give three points, and the bull head said very politely: "Immortal Gu, the soul in your hand has not been reported in the ghost court, then it is under our control, please hand over the soul to us." If the Ghost Court investigation concludes, she really shouldn't die, and we'll send her back. ”
There is also a basis for the bull head to say so. The Ghost Court does have this procedure, and after death, the cause of death must be investigated. If it is indeed a person who died unjustly, the soul will be returned.
When the Ninth Sister of Linghu heard Niu Tou say this, she thought to herself, "Isn't this nonsense? I have never heard of the soul that you have taken back from you." ”
There is also a reason for Linghu Jiumei's questioning. After collecting the souls, the ghost officials often give the spirits a yellow soup. This kind of soup is called forgetful soup, because it is made by Meng Po, it is also called Meng Po soup, commonly known as yellow soup.
Sometimes a man drinks too much outside and goes home to make trouble, and his daughter-in-law often scolds: "Where did you go to pour yellow soup again?" That's what it means.
After drinking the soup of forgetfulness, the soul will forget the sorrows and troubles of the past, and when the ghost officials are investigated, they have forgotten the grievances they have suffered in the world, and of course there will be no grievances to speak of. Therefore, the conclusion of the routine investigation of the ghost court is basically the same: "If there is no grievance, it is time to die." ”
Linghu Jiumei is most aware of this, because she still taught Meng Po this prescription.
Theoretically, the Immortal Court and the Ghost Court are equal, but the dust and all things flock to the Immortal Court, and it is both cultivation and offering. Either hope to become an immortal, or hope for immortality.
However, he can't avoid the ghost court, and he can hide if he can. Even if his soul is detained, he cries out for wrongdoing. If you shout injustice, you have to send it back, but as a result, the soul of the ghost detained with a lot of effort has to be put back after a class.
When the king of Hades found out about this situation, he thought: "This won't work, catch one and let one go, and if it goes on like this, the ghost court will not mention prosperous, and if you can't do it, you will have to close the door." He immediately ordered Meng Po, the ghost official in charge of the medicine path, to find a way to develop a medicine that could forget the past, so that the detained souls would no longer cry out for grievances.
Although Meng Po is the ghost official in charge of the medicine path in the Ghost Court, the demand for the medicine path in the Ghost Court is not very large, because the souls all want to leave here, either ascend to heaven or be reincarnated. Therefore, Meng Po's medicine is so-so, how can she study such a profound technique. After three months of retreat and research, he was beaten several times by the king of Hades, but there was still no result, so he had to come to the ninth sister of the spirit fox.
Meng Po and Linghu Jiumei don't have a very deep relationship, but in the two systems, doing the same thing, some common language, occasionally meet each other to exchange experiences and skills.
Linghu Jiumei saw Meng Po who was covered in injuries, and she couldn't bear it, so she handed over the forgetful soup she had sorted out and developed by herself to Meng Po.
Meng Po went back, and after the restructuring, she began to use it in the ghost court. It's really effective, and all the souls who drink the soup of forgetfulness no longer cry out for injustice, but say that they come voluntarily.
The king of Hades was happy, and after rewarding Meng Po heavily, he ordered the ghost officials to go out again to detain the soul and bring the forgetfulness soup, catch the soul and forcibly pour it first, and then bring it back to the ghost court.
The invention of the Forgetful Soup has completely changed the situation of the Ghost Court, and there is almost no soul to cry out for injustice. The income of the ghosts of the ghost court has been increasing, and the economic situation of the ghost court has changed significantly.
You think, whose dead people don't give offerings, don't burn incense, don't burn paper? The Ghost Court Bank has a lot of income just by storing the interest of the Dark Coin, not to mention that every household has to tip the ghost officials when they burn paper for the dead.
After the Emperor of the Zodiac heard that the Ghost Court had forcibly poured the Forgetfulness Soup into the Soul Detention Spirit, he felt very inappropriate, because it did not conform to the wishes of the people and living beings, and was an inhumane act. In particular, after the accidental death of the earth immortal who was about to become a celestial immortal, his soul was also taken away and not returned.
The Immortal Court sent Red Weixing Jun to negotiate, although Red Weixing Jun was angry, angry, and scolded the street, the Ghost Court was unmoved. Later, when the king of Hades saw that Hongwei Xingjun just didn't leave, he had to ask for an explanation, so he had to take a step back. Not only did they return the souls that had been mistakenly received, but they also established an information exchange system to report the names of the earth immortals who were about to become heavenly immortals in the fairy court, and the soul detainees and ghost officials no longer accepted the souls of these earth immortals.
The ninth sister of the spirit fox knew that the ghost court would use the Forgetfulness Soup for this aspect, and she regretted it very much. Don't dare to make a noise, that is not the anger of people, immortals, and gods.
Can the ninth sister of the spirit fox, who knows the details, believe the words of the bull head? Honestly hand over the soul of the red flame to the ghost officer to take away? Of course not. But today I have a request for the ghost official, so my attitude is still humble and says: "Brother Niu, Brother Ma." Please be generous. It's better to let the little sister go for treatment, so that you don't have to send it around, it's troublesome. ”
Niu Tou was a little angry: "Fairy Gu, I'm sorry. This cannot be accommodated. We are not afraid of trouble. That's what we do. Please understand us and surrender your soul. ”
Niu Tou's words, **, put the Linghu Nine Sisters with nothing to say.
Although Ma Mian behaved very face-wrenching in the Soul Detention Officer's Mansion and had no right to speak, he was not at all faceless in front of the Ninth Sister of Linghu, and he was very tough. His eyes widened, and he said, "Don't think that you can avoid death by reporting your name to the Ghost Court." You haven't become an immortal yet, you may report to us at any time. Hand it over quickly, lest we be in trouble. ”
Ma Mian's words are well-founded. Although the Ghost Court does not manage the souls of the Earth Immortals, once these Earth Immortals violate the immortal rules and are executed, the souls will also be under the control of the Ghost Court. It's just that at that time, I will have to be punished in the ghost court.
Linghu Jiumei is not frightened, she is a master who is not afraid of things. If it weren't for the life and death of the red flame, if it weren't for the hundreds of years of imprisoned cultivation, she would have turned her face a long time ago. Now when I heard that Ma Mian, who had no job or power, also glared at her, she turned her face at that time.
I saw that the ninth sister of the spirit fox rolled her eyes, and she seemed to be smiling. seemed to laugh but ridiculed, and if he didn't laugh, he said coldly: "The two chiefs, if you have the ability, you will accept me." Otherwise, I must take the soul of the red flame with me. ”
This kind of thing is what Linghu Jiumei dares to say, because she is familiar with the fairy rules. The earth immortals who have been notified to the Ghost Court, if it weren't for the accident caused by violating the immortal rules, their souls and the Ghost Court would not be allowed to accept them, but would be offered to the gods.
When Niu Tou heard Linghu Jiumei's tough words, he knew that she knew the inside story, and there was really nothing he could do. The authority of the Ghost Court Soul Detention Officials can only collect the souls of the earthly people who died naturally, that is, the souls that float in the air.
Without the special approval of the ghost court, the ghost officials are not allowed to collect the souls of the living mortals, even if there is still a breath of it. This phenomenon often happens in the earthly world, and the dust people are left without swallowing, and the ghost officials have to wait by the side.
Some people will ask, why are you in such a hurry? Wait for the souls of the dust to fly outside and be detained. In fact, it is not easy to detain the soul, when the soul of the dust people soars into the sky, it often wanders around, and it is difficult to capture it.
In the world, there are often wandering spirits haunting them, and this is the reason. While the ghost officials are not paying attention, the soul flees. In particular, the unjust soul is very spiritual and can evade the ghost officials. After the ghost officials left, they came out again to make trouble.
Therefore, the easiest way to detain souls is to find out which dusty people are going to die, wait there with a soul-detaining magic weapon, and collect one when a soul or spirit comes out. But if the dust people don't breathe, their souls won't come out, and the ghosts and ghosts have no choice but to wait stupidly.
Now Niu Tou didn't know that the red flame still had a breath, her soul was out of her body because of her special spirituality to seek help from her uncle, otherwise he would not be so open-minded.
But in the face of such a tough, and also famous living Earth Fairy Spirit Fox Nine Sister, the current bull head has become a real bull head. The reason is simple, things are too tricky.
Although Niu Tou can now cast a spell to detain the soul of the Spirit Fox Ninth Sister, he does not dare to operate illegally without the express order of the Ghost Court. Originally, he had no grievances with the ninth sister of Linghu, but he was punished by the ghost court because of a soul matter, which was not worth it.
