Chapter 2 was picked up by a kind-hearted person and the compensation has been paid...

The compensation had been paid, and her destination was clear. Fearing that the small world would close if she delayed too long, Guan Erye ordered the Black General Zhou Cang to escort her personally.

As Zhou Cang led Fu Li away, the atmosphere in Yama Palace instantly turned cold. The Emperor shouted, "Do you admit your guilt?"

His reputation for hating evil resounded throughout the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. None of the ghosts, gods, and officials in the hall were clean. They were already feeling guilty standing in front of him, and after being shouted at harshly, the weaker-minded General Wasp subconsciously trembled.

Guandi's eyes were as fast as lightning. He immediately locked onto General Hornet and asked him to come forward and reply.

Without the King of Hell's approval, how could General Hornet dare to act on his own? But when Emperor Guan summoned him, he dared not move.

Today he finally understood what it meant to be caught in a dilemma.

King Yama was standing at the front and couldn't see General Hornet's little movements, but when Emperor Guan opened his phoenix eyes and looked at him, he couldn't help but notice it.

Turning his head, he saw General Huanghun's face full of hesitation and embarrassment, and he would glance at him from time to time. King Yama was so angry that his nose was crooked. He said angrily: "The Emperor asked you to go up and answer, why are you looking at me?"

—You know how to lower your presence, don't I? I wish the Emperor would just treat me like a piece of shit. Do you need to remind the Emperor that I have the highest position and the most power?

General Hornet took a deep breath, stepped out from the crowd, and bowed: "Little God pays homage to the Emperor."

The emperor sneered and waved his hand, and a stack of files appeared on the table.

The Emperor pressed his dustpan-sized hand down on the scroll and said, "I have already thoroughly investigated the sins you have committed over the years. General Hornet, you have the least sins, so I will give you a chance to surrender yourself and reduce your guilt. I just wonder if you are willing to seize this opportunity."

Compared to the other ghosts and gods present, General Hornet was indeed the least guilty. However, Guan Yu singled him out because he was the most timid.

Sure enough, after hearing him say that, how could General Hornet dare to hide anything? He immediately spilled the beans, not only telling about his own bad deeds, but also about everything he knew about other people's deeds.

King Yama and the others were pale as dust, and their whole bodies were shaking like sieves.

They knew they were finished.

As expected, Guan Yu was not polite at all. He immediately sentenced those who deserved to be sent to the Hell of Fire, those who deserved to be sent to the Animal Realm, and those who deserved to be demoted to the status of little ghosts according to the severity of their crimes.

Only General Hornet's guilt was minimal, and he had the merit of being the first to face the enemy. Although he too entered the cycle of reincarnation, he could still live as a human. His first life was indeed difficult, but if he could persist in accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, his second life would be much better.

During this inspection, all the high-ranking officials of the underworld were caught in a sweep. Guan Shengdijun wrote a memorial and burned it to the Emperor of Heaven, asking him to send officials to take over the underworld while he continued to inspect the three realms.

The Emperor of Heaven acted quickly. Within a few days, a group of star gods, led by Wenquxingjun, sent their avatars to take on additional duties.

Seeing Wenquxingjun, Wansheng Emperor was overjoyed. He stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "With the Xingjun here, the Qingming Festival in the underworld is just around the corner."

The God of Literature was originally Bi Gan from the Shang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, his mind was moved and he came to the world as a human being again. His surname was Bao, his given name was Zheng, and his courtesy name was Longtu. He was famous for his impartiality and was later called "Judge Bao".

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wenquxingjun said, "The Heavenly Court is also short on manpower lately, and no one capable of serving as a judge is available at the moment. Fortunately, a sage in a certain world is nearing the end of his life. I've informed the Great Celestial Venerable, and they will be brought directly to the underworld when the time comes."

The Emperor smiled and said, "Now that the Star Lord has arrived, all matters concerning the Underworld will naturally be decided by the Emperor."

Neither of them was fond of formalities, and after completing their official duties, Guandi took his leave. Wenquxingjun immediately took over as the new King of Hell. Under his leadership, the demons and spirits of the underworld began to move at a speed never before seen.

=====

Fu Li followed Zhou Cang out of the Yama Palace, passed through a ghostly palace, passed the Naihe Bridge where Meng Po set up her stall, and came to a circular well with a diameter of about one meter.

"Miss Dai, we're here." Zhou Cang stopped and said.

"Huh?" Fu Li was confused and pointed tentatively at the well mouth. "You mean to tell me to jump in from this well?"

Zhou Cang praised: "The girl is smart."

Fu Li swallowed, smiled awkwardly, and said dryly, "Thank you for your compliments, thank you for your compliments."

She stood at the mouth of the well, carefully bending over to peer inside. It was pitch black, without even a hint of water reflecting off it, indicating it was solid. If she accidentally fell in, she'd be reduced to pulp.

Although Zhou Cang was a rough man, he had followed Guan Yu for many years and had seen a lot, so his eyesight naturally improved.

Seeing Fu Li hesitate and swallow her saliva, he quickly realized that she was afraid and said to her, "Don't be afraid, Miss Dai. You are a spirit now and very light. You won't fall."

"Haha." Fu Li tried her best to smile politely and said awkwardly, "Then... um... General Zhou, could you please help me?"

Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and nodded indifferently. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed the small belt on Fu Li's jeans, and threw him into the well like throwing a chicken.

"ah--"

The screams stopped abruptly, and Fu Li suddenly woke up, only to find that all her limbs were restrained and she could not move at all.

Just as she was puzzled, she suddenly felt as if someone was holding her and rocking her. A gentle female voice said compassionately, "What a pitiful child, abandoned by her parents at such a young age. It is fate that I met you. Come back with me and become my disciple."

Fu Li realized that she had become a baby, a baby abandoned by her parents. The reason why her limbs could not move was because she was trapped in the swaddling clothes.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be picked up by a kind person before the accident happened.

Is this a life with normal luck and no bad luck?

Fu Li suddenly felt light all over, so good that it seemed unreal.

She quickly raised her head and tried to look upwards, but all she saw was not only darkness, but also a black and white image.

——Okay, suddenly I feel normal.

She was saying, with her terrible luck, how could she be so lucky? It turned out there was something wrong with her eyes.

Not only is he visually impaired, he is also color blind.

Fu Li felt relieved and was afraid that the kind person who found her would dislike the noisy child and abandon her again, so she behaved very well along the way.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard two middle-aged female voices almost simultaneously: "Master, we have everything we need, let's go back."

"No rush." ​​The abbot, holding Fuli, said, "Su Rong, go buy some more things for the baby girl. Su Heng, I remember the ewe from the Li family down the mountain gave birth last month. The lamb should be able to eat grass by now. When you pass by the Li family, give them five knife coins and lead the ewe up the mountain."

A sheep wouldn't actually cost that much, but the dozen or so households living at the foot of the mountain were all slaves of the Huanghua Monastery. They would bring gifts to the monastery from the vegetables they grew and the game they hunted. The monastery master was kind and took good care of them.

"Master, this child is..."

They soon saw the baby in the master's arms, and Su Rong asked with a frown.

The master said gently, "Her parents were so cruel and abandoned her outside the clinic. Unfortunately, the clinic's witch doctor, Wu, had gone back to his hometown to visit relatives. I happened to be passing by and picked her up."

"Master, please have mercy." Su Heng looked carefully at the baby's swaddling clothes and said curiously, "Look at the material of this swaddling clothes. Although it's not the best, it's not bad either. If someone can use this kind of material to make swaddling clothes, their family must have enough food. Why would they throw away such a healthy child?"

The abbot didn't say anything, but just revealed the half of the baby's face that was pressed against her chest. There was a walnut-sized red spot under the corner of the eye, like an irregular crabapple flower.

"This..." Su Rong took a breath, and her tone was suddenly filled with pity, "What poor children! Their parents are so cruel!"

Fu Li tentatively opened her eyes. Although she couldn't see anything clearly, she still turned her head in the direction of the sound.

Being silently stared at by the baby's round eyes, Su Rong subconsciously smiled, her voice even softer than before: "This child's eyes are so beautiful."

"Yes, what a pair of naturally radiant almond eyes." Su Heng also praised, pulling Su Rong and saying, "Senior Sister, let's go buy her some soft fabrics to make clothes, and then go to the silversmith Liu's shop and ask him to make a safety lock for her. Her parents don't love her, but we and the temple master do."

Su Rong nodded, thought for a moment, and then said to the temple master, "Since we are going to make a longevity lock, we must engrave her name on it. Master, you picked her up, so I'll have to trouble you to give her a name."

The abbot nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "She has no father or mother, but she is destined to be with me. So, let her take my surname. As for her Taoist name..."

She pondered for a long time, and after thinking of several options, she felt that none of them were good. Suddenly, she saw a lychee tree outside the window. Her eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "The lychee tree in my yard is the most lush, so let her help it grow."

Since she was her disciple, she should have been born under the character "Fu". A lychee tree can survive for thousands of years and still bear fruit, so the character "Li" was chosen in the hope that her vitality would be as vigorous and long-lasting as that tree.

"Fuli?"

"Fuli?"

Su Rong and Su Heng both smacked their lips, looked at each other happily, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's call her Fuli."

The two of them openly praised the child's choice of Taoist name, but in fact they knew in their hearts that the temple master was willing to let the child take her surname because she intended to accept him as her personal disciple.

The status of a direct disciple is extraordinary. If the master has no biological children, the direct disciple is no different from his biological son.

The appearance of this child can alleviate the master's longing for the unborn child, so Su Rong and the others are willing to treat her well.

The two of them went out with their thoughts in mind. The temple master held her and rocked her gently. Fu Li's attention was immediately drawn to him, and she giggled at the blurry figure in front of her.

The abbot gently pinched her fair and tender face and said softly with a smile in his voice, "Fuli, little Fuli, you are such a good child."

Fu Li responded to her with a "babble", secretly feeling relieved in her heart: Fortunately, it is the same name as in the previous life, so I don't have to get used to it again.

The master was very surprised to receive such positive feedback, and teased her even more vigorously. Fu Li responded over and over again, and in a trance, it was hard to tell who was teasing whom.

Fortunately, babies have limited physical strength and energy. After playing for about quarter of an hour, Fuli felt her eyelids becoming heavy and she yawned involuntarily.

The temple master was startled at this and quickly patted her on the back to comfort her. Soon the child fell asleep.

But she was still reluctant to put the child down, and kept holding the child in her arms, looking at the fair and tender baby with gentle eyes.

Until Su Rong and Su Heng returned again, Su Rong stepped forward with a distressed look on her face and advised: "Master, you have been holding him for so long, your arms must be sore, let me hold him for a while."

The master of the temple subconsciously forced a smile, but when he realized that the two people in front of him were his confidants, he relaxed instantly.

"Okay, you hold it for a while too." She slowly loosened her grip, letting Su Rong take the child. Suddenly, she asked, "Su Rong, do you think that child will be as cute as her if it's born?"

Su Rong paused and looked at Su Heng. Both of them looked at the master with concern.

Su Heng advised, "Master, it's all in the past. Those people... they have all received retribution."

"Yes, it's all in the past." The temple master smiled, but tears flowed down his face. "They deserved the retribution they suffered, but my child will never survive. She was so young, just forming, and she didn't even have the chance to see the world."

The two of them tried their best to persuade the man and finally got him to stop.

Su Rong pushed the child in her arms forward and said with a smile, "Master, look, it must be that the young lady is still alive and didn't want her mother to be lonely, so she sent this child here."

"That's right," Su Heng also said, "otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that her parents left her at the door of the clinic and Doctor Wu went back to visit his relatives?"

Wu Wuyi was a very kindhearted person, and he and his wife had been childless for many years. If he hadn't happened to be visiting relatives, he would have adopted her.

The more Su Heng spoke, the more he felt that it was true. Even the two who were listening agreed in their hearts. The master of the temple looked at Fu Li with a softer gaze.

Seeing that she was no longer sad about her miscarriage, Su Rong and Su Heng looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the child had come at a good opportunity.
