Chapter 214 Summoning Jia Xu
A moment later, Jia Xu appeared in front of a dilapidated attic.
He was about to step in, but suddenly he felt that this summoning power was a little familiar. After careful identification, his face suddenly changed.
“It’s her.”
Jia Xu sighed helplessly, straightened his clothes carefully, and walked into the attic with a resigned look on his face.
In the attic, Huo Qinghuang was lazily leaning against the window, playing with a ray of faint light in his hand. It was the soul of the female ghost in the wedding dress.
"Now that you're here, why don't you come in quickly? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
Without even raising her head, she said something that made Jia Xu's soul tremble. He rushed to Huo Qinghuang and bowed down to her: "Your humble servant greets the Empress. I wonder why you summoned me this time?"
Huo Qinghuang pointed at the wedding dress ghost and said, "This ghost was pitiful before her death, and she swallowed up many innocent souls after her death. If she were to enter the underworld like this, she would probably fall into the hell of endless suffering.
I can't bear to see her like this, take her down and give her a chance to be reborn."
Hearing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but look up at the ghost in the wedding dress with an extremely strange look in his eyes.
Everyone knows that the Qinghuang Empress is moody and arrogant. We have only heard that she is causing trouble for the Taoist sect today and overthrowing the Demon sect tomorrow, but we have never heard that she is kind-hearted.
What ability does this female ghost have that makes this man make an exception?
Jia Xu did not dare to think too much. After thinking for a moment, he said with difficulty: "Sir, the rules of the underworld are very strict. She swallowed an innocent soul. According to the law, she should be sent to hell. I really..."
"Just go ahead if you're told to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Huo Qinghuang's face darkened and he stared at Jia Xu with unfriendly eyes.
"The master has given an order, and I dare not disobey."
Jia Xu's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head even lower, secretly groaning in his heart.
He is just a small Black Impermanence. Isn't it difficult for him to cheat under the nose of the Wheel-Turning King?
Why!
Although Jia Wenhe had all kinds of strategies and methods in the world, he was still helpless and at a loss when facing such an existence.
"Hmm."
Huo Qinghuang was satisfied, and casually threw the human soul to Jia Xu, saying: "I'll give you the human soul of this female ghost, and send her to reincarnate. As for her two souls and seven spirits, I'll keep them."
Jia Xu took the human soul and smiled bitterly in his heart again.
The soul and spirit of this female ghost were obviously forcibly separated. Although the human soul was intact, the two souls and seven spirits were detained by the person in front of her.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the underworld, but usually only those monks with high cultivation level will forcibly separate souls in order to refine magic weapons or practice evil arts.
As for the person in front of me...
Thinking of the legend that Huo Qinghuang created in the underworld, Jia Xu couldn't help but shudder.
Forget it. The person in front of him is obviously not someone he can afford to offend. If he says a few more words, he might follow the same fate as this female ghost. It would be better not to meddle in other people's business.
However, some things need to be made clear.
Jia Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, this female ghost's soul is incomplete. I'm afraid she will have some troubles after reincarnation..."
"trouble?"
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows, her tone somewhat cold: "She committed many evil deeds in her life and swallowed many innocent souls. It is a great blessing for her to be able to reincarnate. As for the incomplete soul, that is her own karma. What does this have to do with me?"
When Jia Xu heard this, he was stunned.
He thought the female ghost had some special relationship with the person in front of him, but he didn't expect it was just a momentary kindness?
But he knew that Huo Qinghuang was right.
This female ghost committed many evil things in her life. According to the rules of the underworld, it would not be an exaggeration for her to be torn apart.
Allowing her to reincarnate is already considered a leniency.
"Yes, I understand."
Jia Xu didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly collected the human soul and prepared to take it back to the underworld.
"etc."
Huo Qinghuang suddenly spoke and called Jia Xu.
"What else do you want, sir?"
Jia Xu's heart tightened and he stopped immediately.
Huo Qinghuang raised her hand, and spiritual power suddenly appeared at her fingertips, condensing into a talisman. She casually threw it to Jia Xu and said, "Take this talisman and return it to the Wheel King. Ask him to do something for her and not embarrass the ghost girl's soul."
Jia Xu took the talisman and felt relieved.
With this talisman, he can report back easily.
After all, the underworld usually does not allow things like forcibly separating souls.
But with the title of Empress Qinghuang, the Ten Kings of Hell would probably not dare to say anything more. At most, they could turn a blind eye and acquiesce in this matter.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Jia Xu bowed respectfully, then turned and left the attic.
Huo Qinghuang looked at Jia Xu's departing back and sighed softly.
Although she felt that the fate of the wedding dress ghost was a bit absurd and tragic, she didn't want to be involved in too many causes and effects for no reason.
Moreover, this was her own choice. Saving her soul to be reincarnated was already the result of her kindness.
"It's dawn, it's time to go back."
Huo Qinghuang stretched, turned around and left the attic.
In the night, her figure gradually disappeared, leaving only the dilapidated attic, still standing quietly in the same place, as if nothing had happened.
…
Although the Ghost Festival only lasts for 15th day of July, the whole month of July is filled with extremely strong yin energy, and it is also a time for ghosts to revel.
Especially after the Ghost Festival, there are many ghosts who are unwilling to return to the underworld and stay in the human world. Therefore, some people with bad fortunes always encounter strange things.
But that was before.
This year, ever since a certain ghost killer appeared, countless ghosts have rushed to the gates of hell as soon as the Ghost Festival has passed, fearing that if they run too slowly they will fall into the mouth of the ghost killer and have no way to seek justice after their death.
Huo Qinghuang's figure shuttled through the streets of the imperial capital. The night was as dark as ink, and her steps were light and swift, as if she had merged into the darkness.
Her goal is very clear. Although the Ghost Festival has ended, there are still evil ghosts in the world who are unwilling to return to the underworld. Although it is said that there are much fewer than before, there are still some.
She wants to devour as many evil spirits as possible to accumulate merit.
Just as she was about to head to the next target location, her body suddenly stopped.
She stopped, tilted her head slightly, and glanced at the rooftops in the distance.
There, several figures were standing quietly, staring at her with sharp eyes.
"Finally found you, Huo Qinghuang."
The old man in the lead spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful.
He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk. He was none other than Xuan Qingzi, an elder of the Maoshan Sect.
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows, with a hint of coldness in her tone: "Maoshan Sect? You also want to meddle in my affairs?"
Ever since Li Qingshan from Mount Longhu showed up, Huo Qinghuang went to Bureau 749 to inquire about the current situation of the major sects.
Long Weihua was eager for her to confront the Taoist sect. Although he was suspicious of her origins and didn't even know the situation of the Taoist sect, he still quickly gave her all the information.
Also included is a book with information about the major ancient martial arts families.
Therefore, Huo Qinghuang only took a glance at Xuan Qingzi's Taoist robe and recognized his origins.
