Chu Ze saw Bai Ningning sitting at her desk early in the morning, drawing a blueprint with a pencil and ruler. He asked, "Is this also preparation for the replacement?"
Bai Ningning was gently biting the flesh near the joint of her right index finger. This was a subconscious thought process when she encountered difficulties in doing the questions.
She replied vaguely, "No, I'm thinking about the electricity problem in the underworld. How can I build a 'generator' that can provide stable electricity? I think I can achieve this through the formation..."
But she was not very good at formations; obviously, Chu Ze was not good at it either.
Chu Ze suggested to her, "There are so many talented people in the underworld. You should be able to find two who can be used. Why don't you try recruiting them?"
Bai Ningning: "I went there yesterday. I can find someone to do everything else, but this one isn't working for me right now. Or is there a hidden sweeping monk in the underworld? Haven't they been caught and used as ghost messengers?"
When Bai Ningning talked about her guess, she suddenly looked up at Chu Ze, her eyes full of anticipation.
Could it be that, like in martial arts novels, the ordinary sweeping monk is actually a hermit master?
Chu Ze: "Unfortunately, no."
He pushed the information he had been compiling for several days in front of Bai Ningning and said, "This is the current information table of ghost officials. It only lists the ghost officials with outstanding abilities. I have sorted out their special abilities and written them down here. However, due to the decline of the underworld, some ghost officials have been reincarnated and passed away."
He said it very politely, meaning that you should not have too high expectations.
Bai Ningning looked at the thin piece of paper silently - this is the current situation in the underworld, it will disappear with a gust of wind.
A trace of age crossed Chu Ze's face, but he still smiled lazily. "Don't misunderstand them. When the underworld is in a downturn, it affects the ghost officials as well, and it also increases the burden on the King of Hell. You can understand it as, I can't pay them, and they don't want to cause me trouble, so they chose to resign."
"Okay, okay..." Bai Ningning dragged out the last syllable listlessly, as if she was just being perfunctory, but she still lowered her eyes and folded up the thin but meaningful form.
Chu Ze didn't know if she had listened or not. He looked at her with a smile, and spoke softly and slowly, as if he was talking to a child: "So, what do you need me to do next?"
Bai Ningning: "Just take care of your health. I will take care of this matter at Qingwei Mountain."
As if to make things more obvious, she added fiercely, "I don't need you."
"good."
Chu Ze responded with a smile, not realizing there was a tilde at the end of his tone.
Bai Ningning asked: "Where are Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai?"
Chu Ze grinned and pointed to the study with his thumb: "In there, they asked me to borrow a few books from the library. They are probably studying now."
[Acting Yama mocks the two most capable subordinates of the underworld - Stone Hammer]
The atmosphere in the study and the living room was like two completely different worlds: the Big and Small Hades were bickering with each other in the living room, while the Black and White Impermanence were fighting fiercely in the study.
Had a fight?
Bai Ningning looked at the barrage and glanced at the study in confusion. Almost the moment she turned her head, a scream came from the study.
Bai Ningning rushed over first and pushed open the door of the study - she instantly realized that she had been fooled by the barrage again.
Xie Bian was reading a book seriously, his left hand holding a pen in a fist with the tip facing down, and his right hand was turning pages. He didn't look up when he heard the noise at the door, and was not disturbed at all.
Fan Wujiu fell to the ground with a bitter look on his face and messy hair - it looked like he had fallen asleep and then rolled over and fell, and was awakened by the shock.
Bai Ningning was just about to pretend nothing had happened and close the door and leave when she saw Fan Wujiu roll over and crawl towards her at an extremely fast speed.
Fan Wujiu climbed up and shouted: "Little King of Hell, help me——"
Before she could even utter the last word, Bai Ningning was so frightened that she slammed the door shut.
What kind of horror movie scene is this? Even Sadako wouldn't crawl that fast!
Bai Ningning closed the door, still feeling a lingering fear. The ghost messenger was indeed related to ghosts, and was just as scary.
【Hahahahahaha】
[Ningning (doubting life.jpg): What did I see?]
Ningning (door closed): Sorry, just pretend I wasn’t here.
[He already knew how to roll over, so why didn't he get up?]
[But he crawls faster than he runs... that's unmatched.]
Inside the door, Fan Wujiu felt as if his hope for life had been shattered on the spot. He cried and pounded on the door, "Little King of Hell, help me! He stabbed my thigh with a pen to force me to study! If I can't study, he will beat me up. Help me! Ah!"
Bai Ningning: “…”
She stood at the door for a few seconds to calm herself down, then turned and walked towards the living room with an expressionless face.
After Bai Ningning sat down, she stared at her design drawing for a while with a pen in her hand, her expression still quite bad.
Chu Ze accidentally laughed out loud, coughed lightly, and asked to hide his smile: "What's wrong? Can't calm down?"
Bai Ningning was quite shocked. Pointing in the direction of the study, she asked, "Is the head of the underworld really that smart?! Haven't all the clever ghost messengers escaped long ago?"
Fan Wujiu rushed out of the door and just heard these words. He then quietly returned to his study, flipped through the ancient books, and said with a sad face: "My IQ is despised by the little King of Hell, wuwuwu..."
Xie Bian was so disgusted that he didn't even bother to look at him. He just prepared himself silently. If he fell asleep again, he would give him another hard time.
[Hei Ge is really good at pretending to cry. He used this self-torture trick to trick Ning Ning into being soft-hearted. But he didn't expect that, didn't he? He miscalculated!]
[Ningning: I can tolerate children crying, but adults should let me crawl if they want to cry]
[It’s so funny, it’s like a child crying for two seconds and then stopping immediately when no one is paying attention]
Fan Wujiu covered his face with the book, lay down and wailed, "When will I be able to recover and go out and fight? I can't let the little devil look down on me, can I?"
His strengths lie entirely in force; to put it bluntly, he only knows how to fight.
If he doesn't exercise, he'll feel like he's getting rusty.
Xie Bian: "Shut up."
Qingwei Mountain.
Yuan Xiushuo couldn't fully believe the contents of the underworld. He felt that the underworld wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on him.
But the most terrible thing is that Yuan Muyang is in urgent need of red velvet grass, which is a life-saving medicine and he cannot do without it.
Yuan Xiushuo clutched the envelope and sat by the comatose Yuan Muyang's bed for the entire afternoon, but still couldn't make a decision.
Without red velvet grass, Yuan Muyang would not survive more than three days.
But even if he is sent to the underworld, it only gives him a glimmer of hope, not a guarantee that he will come back alive.
He clenched his fists. This was the first time he regretted being so ruthless and not handling his relationship with the underworld properly.
The sunlight shone through the window onto Yuan Muyang's face.
He looked like he was sleeping peacefully, as if he would never wake up again.
The light on his face gradually changed into the reddish-orange color of sunset, and then into the cool moonlight.
Yuan Xiushuo finally made up his mind and sent the information required by the underworld together with Yuan Muyang to the location specified in the letter from the underworld.
He did not deliberately issue an order to keep everyone away from the door. He knew that there were many other families' forces here. If he gave the order, they would be curious and would go to find out what was going on.
So Yuan Xiushu simply set up a barrier to protect this important transaction.
At the same time, he was also prepared. The moment the door to the underworld opened, he would rush over and enter the underworld.
He can exchange his life for another's, and he has also prepared bargaining chips that will surely satisfy the current underworld.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the underworld to take action.
But he didn't expect that Bai Ningning's door to the underworld was open horizontally.
With a "swoosh", Yuan Muyang disappeared from the small brick house at the gate of Qingwei Mountain, along with the information that Yuan Xiushuo had prepared long ago, disappeared in an instant.
He hurried to the underworld's office on earth and searched everywhere in the empty room for clues to the mechanism, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
The plan completely failed.
The string in Yuan Xiushuo's heart, which had been tense for a long time, finally broke. He knelt on the ground in despair, crying loudly without caring about his image.
Bai Ningning knew nothing about this. She almost opened the door in the wrong place and the bed almost blocked the door to the underworld.
Fortunately, the error was quickly corrected so that the door was parallel to the bed and opened just a little above the bed.
Of course, the chain reaction caused the position of the door to change. Yuan Muyang should have fallen on the lazy sofa in the underworld, but accidentally hit Chu Ze.
Fan Wujiu reacted very quickly and lent a hand, preventing Chu Ze from being hit too badly.
【Father is kind and daughter is filial】
[It was a close call, almost resulting in two deaths (Chu Ze was in spirit form, no body)]
[Heige hesitated just now. Otherwise, he could have carried the baby like a princess and saved his old father from the disaster. If it was a beautiful woman who fell, he would have definitely caught her!]
[Aren't you wondering if your soul form can catch someone? After all, your abilities are still sealed.]
Yuan Muyang had a jade pendant on his body to isolate his breath.
His face was pale, even a little blue, as if he was about to die in the next second.
When he fell just now, Yuan Muyang's elbow was bumped and now it has turned purple.
Bai Ningning didn't expect the illness to be so serious. She muttered to herself, "It's almost a corpse..."
Xie Bian took the initiative to step forward: "I can save him."
Bai Ningning took the information and said without looking back: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll go test its authenticity."
Chu Ze raised his hand and hesitated to speak: "..."
He also bumped his hand, why didn't anyone come to care about him?
He stared at the unconscious Yuan Muyang in silence for a while.
Forget it, he is still alive and well, so don’t bother with someone who is dying.
Cheng Xiu saw Bai Ningning walking towards her and took out a basket of paper figures she had folded. "Here, your order has been completed!"
"……Thanks."
The number of paper figures was far beyond her expectations. Bai Ningning just grabbed a handful, said thank you, and walked towards Wangchuan with the paper figures.
Chu Yuyan didn't expect her to come, and greeted her happily: "What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Bai Ningning was stunned for a moment, obviously forgetting that he was in Wangchuan.
"Borrow something, don't worry about me."
Bai Ningning sat cross-legged by the river and added, "Stay away from here. I'm worried I might accidentally hurt you."
Chu Yuyan was not worried that she could hurt herself, but she tactfully stepped back and stared at Bai Ningning from a distance, curious about what she was going to do.
Bai Ningning took out a pen and paper and copied the formation diagram provided by Yuan Xiushuo, leaving some key lines undrawn.
Then, she grabbed two balls of ghost energy from the Wangchuan River with her bare hands, poured them into the paper man, and drew a mysterious pattern on the paper man with a pen - the next second, a golden light flashed, and the paper man began to move by himself.
In this way, the paper man's aura is exactly the same as that of the ghost.
Bai Ningning quickly completed the remaining lines, and then sent the two paper ghost messengers into the mini paper painting formation.
The two paper figures were still able to move, but the light gradually dimmed.
Bai Ningning watched without blinking. Within three seconds, the paper man spontaneously combusted and burned to ashes without a trace of fire.
She quickly used an eraser to erase part of the formation to prevent it from being triggered again.
Chu Yuyan saw her stand up and knew it was over. He took the initiative to move closer and said, "Don't do such dangerous things in the future. If you want to extract ghost energy from the Wangchuan River, you must take protective measures, otherwise they will pounce on you like leeches, which will be very troublesome."
"Got it, I'll definitely do it next time."
Bai Ningning waved to him with her back to him and walked towards the Hall of Yama.
"...are you really planning on having a next time?"
Xie Bian was boiling medicine for Yuan Muyang when Bai Ningning said, "There's something wrong with this formation. If you put a paper man in it, it will burn up in three seconds."
Just as Xie Bian was about to speak, Fan Wujiu squeezed in between the two of them and interrupted, "It's like this. If Yuan Muyang hadn't interrupted us, we might have been in trouble too. But with me here, there's definitely a chance to fight back!"
Xie Bian kicked him away in disgust and asked Bai Ningning: "Where's the information? Let me take a look."
Seeing that they were busy, Cheng Xiu volunteered: "I can help boil the medicine!"
"Okay. Simmer over low heat for thirty minutes." Xie Bian explained the key points to her concisely, and then took the formation information provided by Bai Ningning to study it.
Chu Ze clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly.
No one cared about him just now, but now that everyone is free, someone should come and ask about his injury, right?
Before he could open his mouth, Cheng Yun, who was usually taciturn, walked up to Bai Ningning with a stack of documents. "This is the plan you asked me to design earlier. Do you have time to look at it now? And the circuit diagram you showed me, there are a few places that can be improved, I have marked them all."
Chu Ze: “…”
Okay, we are all busier than him.
Chu Ze held a piece of red velvet grass in his mouth and walked out lazily: "I'm going to patrol the streets."
Humph, no one cares about him anyway.
Bai Ningning waited until his back disappeared from her sight before asking Xie Bian, "Is the wound on his hand serious?"
Fan Wujiu answered again: "I know the answer to this question! He just kept it for us to ask, but he actually disappeared after going out to fight!"
"OK."
Now, Bai Ningning even forgot the guilt of opening the wrong door and concentrated on the work at hand - this was related to the development plan of the underworld.
【Old father, miserable】
[I didn’t even hear my daughter’s awkward concern. How miserable]
No one cares
