Chapter 48

"As long as you offer it, our emperor will definitely let you go safely."

"Udumbara flower."

When they heard these words, Fu Qingsu and A Yue were stunned.

"It's true that the Udumbara flower is our sacred flower, but I've never heard that it can make people immortal."

It is true that the Udumbara flower is the sacred flower of the Wuling clan, but they have never heard that the Udumbara flower can make people immortal. What's more, Fu Qingsu is a saint. If it can make people immortal, Fu Qingsu must know it.

Lu Daheng smiled again, "Miss Fu, if you want to leave, you have to offer the flowers, otherwise you can't leave Qin State."

"Lord Lu, I can't agree to your request." Fu Qingsu couldn't agree to it.

Lu Daheng was very calm, "Miss Fu, this is not your choice. If you don't offer it, none of you can leave."

After saying this, he left the yard.

Only Fu Qingsu and a few others were left.

The officers and soldiers surrounding the yard did not leave.

Fu Qingsu looked at Yang Mingyu, "Master Yang, didn't you promise to let us leave?"

"Miss Fu, I'm sorry, I can't let you go."

"sorry."

After saying sorry to Fu Qingsu and A Yue several times, Yang Mingyu turned and left.

"Brother Yang."

When Fu Ayue saw Yang Mingyu leaving, she shouted and even wanted to chase after him. Fu Qingsu was quick to grab Fu Ayue and stop her from chasing him.

"Ayue, stop chasing me."

Fu A Yue cried in pain.

The two were trapped in the official residence. Fu Qingsu had been thinking about how to escape, but there were soldiers guarding outside the mansion, and Lu Daheng came to the mansion many times to ask Fu Qingsu to present the Udumbara flower.

This is the sacred flower of the clan. Regardless of whether it has the ability to achieve immortality or not, Fu Qingsu would never hand it over.

For this reason, Lu Daheng even threatened Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue's lives, but Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue were not afraid at all.

Later, Fu Qingsu found an opportunity and escaped with Fu Ayue. As a result, a group of talented people appeared and beat Fu Qingsu up. Then the two were taken back to the mansion and continued to be detained. Compared with before when there were only officers and soldiers, now the talented people recruited by Lu Daheng directly guard Fu Qingsu.

Even if Fu Qingsu knew magic, he would be no match for so many people.

In this way, Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue were trapped in the mansion for two or three months.

"Crack."

The door was opened. Fu Qingsu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the door. He stood in the dark without making a sound, waiting for someone to come in.

In Fu Qingsu's sight, a thin figure entered Fu Qing's eyes. When Fu Qingsu was about to knock the other party unconscious, the thin figure spoke.

"Miss Fu, Miss Ayue, why are you here?"

"Avi."

Avi heard the movement behind her, turned around, and saw that it was Fu Qingsu, a smile appeared on her face.

"Miss Fu."

Compared to the joyful look on Awei's face, Fu Qingsu was more worried. "Awei, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come back?"

Fu Qingsu asked Awei to leave the house because he was afraid that Awei would be in danger.

Why is Avi back?

"Ms. Fu, I'm here to save you and Miss A Yue." A Wei stated her purpose.

"Save me and Ayue."

Fu Qingsu was surprised that Awei actually came to save them, but it was a pity that Awei could not save her and A Yue.

"Awei, you can't save us. I can't even beat those people outside. You don't know any magic, so you can't save us."

Avi doesn't know any magic and can't save them.

"Miss Fu, of course I know I'm no match for them."

"Lord Lu sent those Taoists to his house. I had already secretly drugged the remaining Taoists, and they are all fast asleep."

When she first found out, Avi was planning how to rescue Fu Qingsu, and fortunately the plan went smoothly.

"Miss Fu, come with me now! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave when the Taoist priest from Lu Mansion comes back."

What she feared most was that the Taoist priest who went to Lu Mansion would come back, and if Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue did not leave, her plan would be wasted.

"Avi, thank you so much."

Fu Qingsu didn't expect that Awei would disregard the danger and plan so much to save them.

"Miss Fu, now is not the time to talk about this."

The most important thing is to leave now.

"Yes! I'll go call Ayue."

Fu Qingsu knew that if he didn't leave now, he would probably be unable to leave, so he hurried to wake up the sleeping Fu Ayue. Fu Ayue woke up in a daze and was pulled by Fu Qingsu to run.

After Fu Qingsu and the other two had escaped for three days, they found that there were no pursuers behind them. They breathed a sigh of relief. Without pursuers, they would definitely return to the hills and valleys, and return to the Wuling tribe.

It’s a pity that the three of them thought too highly of it.

At night, the three of them rested in the dilapidated temple. They were awakened by the noise coming from outside. Fu Qingsu looked through the crack in the door and found a group of soldiers and the Taoist priests who had fought with Fu Qingsu before.

Fu Qingsu immediately took Fu Ayue and Awei and left the ruined temple.

Soon, the Taoist priests and soldiers discovered the three people's escape and immediately chased after them.

While escaping, Awei discovered a Taoist priest holding a peach wood sword and coming towards Fu Qingsu. She quickly pushed Fu Qingsu away, but the peach wood sword hit Awei in the chest.

"Avi."

Fu Qingsu yelled, stepped forward and slapped the Taoist priest, who fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fu Qingsu picked up Awei who had fallen to the ground. Fu Ayue covered her mouth with tears in her eyes.

Blood continued to seep out of the wound on Avi's chest.

Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue were even covered in Awei's blood.

A Wei's mouth was filled with tears, and her eyes were unfocused. "Miss Fu, I can't accompany you. Miss Fu, you must live to see your people."

After saying this, Avi's eyes slowly closed and she died in her arms.

"Avi, Avi, wake up." Fu Qingsu called Avi.

Awei can no longer be like before. Every time Fu Qingsu calls her, Awei will reply, "Miss Fu."

"Qingsu, let's go quickly, they are chasing us."

Fu Ayue was sad that Awei was dead, but now was not the time to be sad. The soldiers and Taoist priests were chasing them, so she pulled Fu Qingsu away.

Fu Qingsu could only bear the pain and put down Awei's body and escape with Fu Ayue.

After escaping into a forest, Fu Qingsu pulled Fu Ayue into the bushes. The two of them looked nervously at the Taoist priests and soldiers who were searching for them.

The Taoist priests and soldiers couldn't find them and thought they had escaped in another direction, so they chased after them.

In order to avoid being found by the officers and soldiers, they took another road.

This route is difficult to walk on, as it is full of cliffs. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

If they retreated, they would definitely be encountered by the Taoist priests and soldiers who were trying to capture them, but Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue still chose to take this path.

However, they didn't expect that when they were halfway there, the group of Taoists were following them. Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue were in a more urgent and hurried pace. It was because of their anxiety that Fu Ayue missed a step.

“Ah!”

Fu A Yue held a branch tightly with one hand.

"Ayue."

Fu Qingsu saw that Fu Ayue was in danger and wanted to save her. If it weren't for that group of Taoist priests, Fu Ayue would definitely be willing to wait for Fu Qingsu to save her. However, when she saw that the group of Taoist priests were getting closer and closer to them, an idea came to Fu Ayue's mind.

"Ayue, hold my hand."

Fu Qingsu tried to catch Fu Ayue.

Fu Ayue looked at Fu Qingsu and finally made up her mind.

"Qingsu, I can't go back with you. If you go back, please help me take care of my father and mother."

"Ayue, what nonsense are you talking about? I will take you back."

Fu Qingsu will take Fu Ayue back.

They came out together and should go back together.

Fu Ayue shook her head slightly, glanced at the Taoist priest who was getting closer and closer to them, smiled and said to Fu Qingsu, "Qingsu, I'm sorry."

He let go of his hand and fell down in front of Fu Qingsu's shocked pupils.

"Ayue."

The echo of Fu Qingsu resounded throughout the mountain.

Fu Qingsu's tears fell from her eyes and into the valley.

Awei, Ayue and the others all left her.

Why do you treat her like this?

My chest aches terribly.

Hearing the sound of the Taoist priests getting closer and closer, Fu Qingsu wiped away his tears and ran forward quickly.

Fu Qingsu kept running, and only after running for a very long time did the group of Taoist priests following her completely disappear.

Late at night, the firelight shone on Fu Qingsu's tearful face.

Fu Qingsu could never let go of the thought of Avi and Fu Ayue.

Tears streamed from her eyes.

"Awei, Ayue, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

She failed to protect them.

Fu Qingsu will be alive and will go home with their hopes and with A Yue.

"Ayue, Awei, I will take you back."

At dawn the next day, Fu Qingsu continued on her journey, dodging the officers and soldiers who were searching for her while heading towards the hills and valleys.

After more than a month, she finally walked back to the hilly valley, but found that the valley was spreading with wildfire, surrounding the entire hilly valley. She also found people searching for her and quickly hid.

"Why are they here?"

"besides."

The valley is on fire, is anyone in the tribe safe?

Worried that something might happen to the clan, Fu Qingsu took advantage of the chaos and ran in, avoiding fire along the way, but still could not avoid being burned.

After finally arriving, he saw a scene that made Fu Qingsu heartbroken.

There are only corpses.

Fu Qingsu looked sadly at the blood and the bodies lying on the ground, his pupils empty and painful.

Sobbing, a surge of hatred slowly emerged in his eyes.

"If you destroy my entire clan, I will make you pay the price."

Every word she spoke expressed the hatred in her heart.

It was half a month later when Fu Qingsu appeared on the city wall of Licheng again.

Everyone was frightened when they saw Fu Qingsu appear.

The emperor and officials of Qin State were all happy about the appearance of Fu Qingsu, but when they saw Fu Qingsu casting a spell with both hands, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and a strong wind was howling. Everyone was unable to open their eyes because of the strong wind. When they could see clearly, they saw a vast river floating above Licheng.

Fu Qingsu's eyes were cold, as if everyone was dead. Fu Qingsu put down his hands, and the vast river water instantly submerged Licheng and the crowd.

The cries of wailing, shouting and helping were eventually drowned out by the river.

Fu Qingsu looked at the emperor of Qin State and the culprits who were drowned in the river and eventually became corpses.

Fu Qingsu felt only the pleasure of revenge.

"I finally avenged you."

She finally avenged her people and Avi and the others.

Suddenly, Fu Qingsu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into the river.

When she woke up, she had become a ghost in the underworld.

The King of Hell was sitting in the Hall of Hell, telling Fu Qingsu's past life word by word, but Fu Qingsu didn't react at all.

"It's a shame. You were so close to becoming a servant of the Rain God from a shrine maiden, but you caused an entire city to die in the river for your own selfish desires."

The King of Hell's eyes were filled with pity.

Fu Qingsu turned a deaf ear to the words of the King of Hell. She was clear about the sins she had committed, and she would bear all the punishment for her sins herself.

Seeing Fu Qingsu in such a half-dead state, the King of Hell was not surprised.

"Fu Qingsu, you have committed a sin because of your people. Your people will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation because of you. They must be punished in the underworld and can only enter the cycle of reincarnation after their sins are dissipated."

Fu Qingsu looked at the King of Hell, "Lord King of Hell, I was the one who killed everyone in Licheng. I am the one who should be punished, not my people. My people are all innocent."

"Fu Qingsu, since you are a witch from the Wu clan, you should know that there must be a cause and an effect. Your clan members are the cause. Without this cause, there will be no effect."

Cause and effect cycle.

Fu Qingsu diverted water from rivers and seas to trap the people in the city because of her people. Fu Qingsu killed all the people in the city, both the guilty and the innocent.

Therefore, it is inevitable that her people will be implicated.

Fu Qingsu understood what the King of Hell said.

Close your eyes in pain.

Fu Qingsu opened his eyes and kowtowed solemnly to the King of Hell. "Lord King of Hell, I understand what you are saying. Even if my people were responsible, they are innocent. Please forgive them and allow them to enter the cycle of reincarnation instead of being punished in the underworld."

"I am willing to be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell. I am willing to bear all the punishment."

He kowtowed again.

"You are the chosen priestess of the Rain God, which means you are qualified to become a god. I can give you one chance. As long as you become a ferryman, you can remove the obsessions of the ghosts stranded in other people's homes and let them return to the underworld. When the Udumbara flowers bloom, you can use them to allow your people to return to reincarnation."

"You can also use the Udumbara flower to become a god."

The King of Hell just wants Fu Qingsu to become a god.

Fu Qingsu's eyes lit up, "Lord Yama, I choose to be the ferryman."

From then on, Fu Qingsu became the ferryman.

Ferry ghosts into the underworld who are unable to return to the underworld due to their obsession.

To this day, the Udumbara flowers are in full bloom, and Fu Qingsu's wish has not changed in the past thousand years.

The King of Hell looked at Fu Qingsu.

The Udumbara flower and Fu Qingsu's dissipated soul turned into light and fell on the members of the Wu clan in the eighteen levels of hell. One by one, the members of the Wu clan turned into spots of light and flew into the realm of reincarnation.

The light dissipated, a meaningful smile appeared on Yan Wang's cold face, and he disappeared into the apartment.

After Yan Wang disappeared, all traces of Fu Qingsu in the apartment gradually disappeared.

Everything and memories about Fu Qingsu disappeared from people's memory.

over.
