71. Lu Kai Yin Yang (middle)
Dragged into the dense fog by Ye Yao, the range of his eyes was only a few feet away, and Meng Xu'an tried to avoid one puddle after another under his feet. Luckily, the road is gravel and not too muddy.
The road seemed to have no end, I don't know how long I walked, my legs gradually became sore, my clothes were wet with rain and mist, and my feet were always a spotless path, surrounded by heavy fog and endless drizzle.
"Is the road right?" Meng Xu'an asked uneasily.
Ye Yao walked with a strong step, pulling him to continue to move forward, "It should be almost there! β
"Have you walked through?" Meng Xu'an suddenly stopped and looked at her suspiciously.
Ye Yao shook her head, "Of course not, I'm not a mortal, and I haven't died......"
"Then what if you make a mistake? In the land of Kyushu, there are so many people who die every day, but there is not even a ghost here! You say-" Before Meng Xu'an's words were finished, he was pushed to the side of the road by Ye Yao.
Her gaze shifted from left to right, staring at the emptiness in front of her.
Meng Xu'an's scalp tingled, "What are you doing?"
"Oh-"
Ye Yao suddenly realized, "You can't see ghosts and undead!"
Pulling Meng Xu'an back again, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I said why don't you rush or panic, and you're not afraid of getting in the way of others." It turned out that I didn't see any other passers-by at all. β
"Also...... Are there any other passers-by?" Meng Xu'an said in surprise.
Ye Yao let go of his arm, raised his hands in front of him, pinched his middle finger and ring finger on his thumb respectively, and chanted softly: "There is a fox Suisui-"
Which one is this?!
Meng Xu'an's eyes widened, and he didn't know why.
Ye Yao's hands flipped backwards, the index finger of her left hand hooked the little finger of her right hand, and the little finger of her left hand hooked the index finger of her right hand, and she continued to sing: "On the side of Pi Qi-"
"Night Ringing Yo-"
She let go of the middle and ring fingers pinched on her thumb on both sides, and pushed her ten fingers to the middle at the same time, and her hands interlaced to form a strange gesture - ten fingers clasped back, open like a fan, and an oval gap leaked in the middle.
"Out of touch!"
As soon as the words fell, her hands suddenly came to Meng Xu'an, and the gap between her fingertips was aimed at his left eye.
A white light flashed in front of his eyes, Meng Xu'an couldn't help but close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was startled by the scene in front of him.
This road is not lonely, and the endless flow of people is comparable to the street market in Shengjing. Everyone kept the same as when they were breathing, most of them were old and withered, and some of them were mutilated and bloody, and behind each of them were two ghosts in black and white robes and masks, and some of the babies who died were still in their arms.
All the pedestrians were silent, just walking on blindly, with only the occasional clatter of shackles being dragged one by one.
"The Fox's Eye allows you to see the undead and the beings of the underworld. Ye Yao said on the side.
After standing stupidly for a while, Meng Xu'an finally asked, "These are the undead who went to the Netherworld?"
"Nonsense, are you going to play?!" Ye Yao dragged him into the gap in the flow of people.
This time, Meng Xu'an consciously stepped up, and didn't have time to look at the puddles on the road, for fear that the eldest brother who was dragging the chain behind him and holding his bloody head would not be satisfied with the speed of his travel.
"So many ghosts, but the black and white impermanence of folklore?" he lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Ye Yao waved her hand, "Black impermanence and white impermanence, there are only two of them." β
Meng Xu'an rolled his eyes, "You and I are blind!
Ye Yao lowered her voice and replied, "It's all doppelgangers." Black and white are impermanent, with a total of 3,000 doppelgangers. Therefore, these ghosts are very weak, and they look tall and mighty, but they are actually powerless......"
"What if the undead refuse to go with them, or run away?" Meng Xu'an asked again.
"They don't care......" Ye Yao glanced back and forth, and continued: "The Netherworld is very humane! If you really encounter an undead spirit who is unwilling to reincarnate, you will generally be lenient for some time, as long as the undead do not become resentful spirits and fierce spirits, the two eldest brothers will still persuade each other with good words." β
"What should I do if I become a resentful spirit or a fierce spirit?" Meng Xu'an asked.
Ye Yao patted her chest, "That's our Purifier's business." β
"Eh, the two guys in front, you guys go slowly! you want to exhaust grandpa!" the head in the arms of the big brother in the chain suddenly spoke.
Meng Xu'an wanted to look back, but it was a little difficult to accept, so he could only slow down obediently.
Ye Yao turned around and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, it's our first time." β
"Nonsense, who is not the first time!" "Big Brother Chain was furious.
"Eh, don't be rude to the pure! You are a great thief in this life, you have killed countless people, and you have committed many crimes, if you are unfortunately sentenced to the Asura Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, or the Hell Dao, and you are lucky enough to escape from torture and become a fierce spiritββ, you have to rely on them to capture you back and continue to be tortured!" Hei Wuchang laughed, his voice indistinguishable from yin and yang.
Big Brother Chain suddenly stopped, and the chain dragged louder under his feet.
Bai Wuchang on the side suddenly asked, "The girl and the son are from the Murong family, right?"
The Murong family of the human race, cultivating the Yin and Dry Dao, has always had close contacts with the underworld, and it is easy to be recognized by impersonating the identity in front of the ghosts, but if you deny it directly, there is a yin and yang umbrella in your hand, and it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Ye Yao smiled in return, neither silently nor denying.
When she acquiesced, Bai Wuchang continued: "Thanks to the Murong family's newly cast 'Soul Chaser', it is much easier to catch the undead now. This guest officer was a Jiangyang thief before his death, and he almost let him escape. β
"The two big brothers have worked hard!" Ye Yao nodded.
Meng Xu'an tugged at her sleeve and pinched her throat and said, "Didn't you say that it was very humane? How to use magic weapons to catch the undead?"
"Perhaps...... Now the rules have changed. Ye Yao was also a little confused.
Although the black and white impermanence lacks strength, they are all deaf and clear-sighted, whispering to them, and not hearing a word.
"Ahemβ"
Hei Wuchang cleared his throat and interjected, "You two don't know anything! It's a good time now, and only about a thousand people die every day. In a few months, there will be a big flood in the world. At that time, more than 10,000 undead souls every day will be able to kill us as drudgers. So, at this time, you must not save up on errands, and you must do it every day. β
"The flood season hasn't happened yet, how do you know how many people are going to die?" Meng Xu'an suddenly asked.
Black Impermanence waved his long sleeves, "The life and death of mortals have long been written in the book of life and death!"
"Yes, we received the work three months in advance. Bai Wuchang echoed.
"Was the Book of Life and Death written by the King of Hades? If he had known the life and death of mortals, wouldn't he have been able to predict natural and man-made disasters in the mortal world? Or was it because he could predict natural and man-made disasters that he was able to set the life and death of mortals in the Book of Life and Death?"
As soon as Meng Xu'an asked, the two ghosts were immediately speechless.
They have extradited the undead in the underworld and the mortal world for tens of thousands of years, but they have never pondered this issue.
