Chapter 10 The master has ordered! Catch the lady!
Shen Qing sighed, and said helplessly,
"It was you who killed him."
“It seems you have already guessed it.”
Shen Qing guessed that Liu Mincheng must have used the hands of ghosts and gods to commit the crime, but he did not dare to speculate what method he used. There was one thing he had always doubted and needed to confirm.
"Liu Mincheng said that he had been learning these Taoist magics since he was a child and knew some of them. Is that true?"
Liu Shude was stunned by the question.
"He has indeed been very interested in these kinds of supernatural things since he was a child. He even said that he wanted to worship a master. I am not sure."
Shen Qingze guessed this correctly.
It is true that Liu Mincheng is well versed in Taoism and seems to have some knowledge in it. The books placed in this room are probably the proof of his self-study.
Unfortunately, the theory is good, but the practice is much worse.
He only has skills but his techniques are not so good, so it's no wonder that he could find such a big flaw.
"Then tell me about you, what is this sacrifice he talked about?"
Liu Shude chuckled.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch, don't you understand that?"
"I told him that I could help him kill someone, but I needed his life as a price to pay. If he wanted to spare his life, he could sacrifice another living soul to me when the task was completed, one life for another."
Shen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So what's wrong with him now?"
Liu Shude looked at the distraught Liu Mincheng, his eyes full of sorrow.
"When the agreement was signed, his soul had already automatically separated from him. I killed Zhang Shuai for him, became infected with killing, and turned into a vicious spirit. His soul, which was supposed to be absorbed by me, was sent to the underworld by me early. I have already violated the contract."
"The Liu Mincheng you negotiated with is just an empty shell, with only a trace of his soul left. At the moment of Li Yuanyuan's death, his soul was also consumed. At this moment, I am him and he is me."
Shen Qingze raised his eyebrows, quite shocked by the reason.
Liu Shude had long been absorbing the resentment of the living, and had also interfered in matters of life and death in the world of the living. As a result, his soul was devoured and he could not be reborn. Without a soul, he was forced to evolve into a vicious spirit, and with it, the souls of Zhang Shuai and Li Yuanyuan, who were devoured by him, could no longer return to the road to hell.
Liu Mincheng, who had signed a contract to sell his soul, had his soul sent to the underworld by Liu Shude in advance. He was no longer bound by this cause and effect relationship. As long as his body in the world of the living perished, he would naturally enter reincarnation.
Everything was done by Liu Shude.
And the one who had to bear all the consequences was Liu Shude.
"Why did you do that?"
"Before you kill Zhang Shuai, you are just a lonely ghost. You only need to secretly assist Liu Mincheng. He will do it himself. If you don't kill him, you will naturally not turn into a vicious spirit."
Shen Qing asked softly.
Liu Shude raised his head, as if trying to hold back the tears in his eyes, but he forgot that he had long since stopped crying.
"Because I feel sorry for Min Cheng"
He is a father.
But he could not accept the death of his beloved wife and vowed not to remarry. However, the consequence of this was that the young Liu Mincheng would lose his mother's love forever.
He wanted to compensate Liu Mincheng for the love he had lost, but the harder he tried, the sadder he felt. He could never be truly needed by Liu Mincheng, and he couldn't even see any dependence on his own children.
Repeated compensation, repeated loss, until he could no longer stop closing his eyes, he was still a burden to the child.
So when Liu Mincheng showed his dependence in front of the god he pretended to be, he did not hesitate at all. This might be the last thing he could do for Liu Mincheng.
"Then why don't you tell him your identity? If we join forces, maybe I can't find your loopholes."
Liu Shude shook his head and sighed helplessly.
“You don’t understand a father’s painstaking efforts.”
Indeed, Shen Qingze didn't understand.
He had never felt much love. Even the love that Yeluweisi gave him was the most primitive love that came from desire.
He hasn't even met his biological parents, whom he has never met, and he has become what he is now, neither human nor ghost.
To be honest, he was somewhat envious of Liu Mincheng.
"I should be disappearing soon. Can I trouble you with one more thing?"
"You tell me, I'll think about it"
Liu Shude took out a jade bracelet from his pocket, gently placed it on the ground, and said in a light tone:
"I haven't had time to give it to him yet. If you return to the underworld, can you help me pass it to him?"
Shen Qing nodded.
"What's this?"
"His mother's legacy"
The love that was never expressed until death was only known when it was brought into reincarnation.
I hope that if there is an afterlife, you can stand in front of each other and express this love.
————
Liu Shude's soul finally flew away, and the souls of Zhang Shuai and Li Yuanyuan, who were devoured by the evil spirit, also dissipated.
At the end of the story, only that person escaped and entered reincarnation.
Shen Qing arranged Liu Mincheng's body, then accidentally exposed Li Yuanyuan's body to the police, and at the same time erased all obvious clues.
At this point, the tragic death of Zhang Shuai, the bizarre death of Li Yuanyuan, and the mysterious disappearance of Liu Mincheng have become unsolved unsolved cases.
Shen Qing dragged his exhausted body back to the underworld. He was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes, but he still had important things to do.
Passing by the Yin-Yang Gate where ghosts lined up in a crowded queue, he hurried to the Hell.
When passing by Hei Wuchang, he grabbed his shoulder and asked,
"Has there ever been a person named Liu Mincheng who entered the Yin Yang Sect?"
Hei Wuchang was about to open his mouth to shout that their ghost master's wife was back and they didn't need to catch her, but Shen Qingze blocked his mouth and changed the subject and replied,
"It seems so. I guess we are almost at the Yellow Springs Road."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Hei."
After saying this, without waiting for Hei Wuchang's response, he immediately ran away in a hurry.
Hei Wuchang, who had been stunned for a long time before coming to his senses, hurriedly shouted
"Madam has returned to the ghost world! Hurry up and guard the gate of Yin Yang Gate! Go and inform the master!"
——————
When Shen Qingze arrived at the gate of Huangquan Road, he saw the familiar figure of Liu Mincheng.
"Master Shen, what are you doing?!"
Liu Mincheng was shocked when he saw Shen Qingze!
"Shh, shh, shh, don't make any noise. I came here to give this to you. Don't make any noise and expose me."
Liu Mincheng took the jade bracelet and said with a complicated expression
"What's this?"
"Your father asked me to pass your mother's belongings to you."
Liu Mincheng clenched the bracelet tightly, as if he wanted to cry, but he could only sob.
"Thank you, and goodbye forever"
The boy said nothing more and turned around to leave with the crowd.
On the road to the underworld, I hope you can wash away all the grievances of this life, and be born into a good family in the next life.
The young man who had been strong all his life shed tears only for his father's death.
At the end of this relationship, he cried for himself with silent tears, ending this twisted and painful life.
Shen Qing looked at the thin figure helplessly, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the officers and soldiers from the Ghost Palace standing behind him. The little ghost walking in front saw him and his eyes lit up!
"I saw the lady! The master has given orders! Catch him!"
I forgot about the Black Impermanence incident!!
Shen Qingze didn't bother to cause trouble for Hei Wuchang, he just turned around and ran!
If they catch me, I won't be able to leave the ghost house for most of the day! !
"Don't chase me! I'm not done with you, Hei Wuchang!"
