Chapter 118 Why is it you
Back then, She Yizhi, like Yu Li'an, was a prominent figure in the Xuanmen sect. Not only was he exceptionally talented, but he also held a sound moral compass. He joined the government at a young age and served his country.
But the one who became the one to cross the Yin River was the sick Yu Li'an.
This was puzzling at the time, until the Yuxia Mountain incident, when Yu Li'an risked his life to save the people, convinced many people who had doubts. Unfortunately, he was gone, and even the traces of his existence were erased along with Yuxia Mountain.
After descending from Yuxia Mountain, She Yizhi took on a sinecure, becoming a consultant. He rarely intervened unless there was something the authorities couldn't handle. Over time, everyone saw his intention to retire and stopped bothering him.
But I didn’t expect that She Yizhi had a son.
"Son?" Jiang Wei's wound had been treated and was no longer bleeding. His face was solemn. "Master She, I remember your official records stated that you had no relatives or descendants."
"Oh, who hasn't indulged in flowers when they were young? You ordinary people are allowed to get married and have children, but the masters of Xuanmen are not allowed to enjoy themselves." Wu Liangqi never stopped talking.
“Pah.”
With a snap of his fingers, Wu Liangqi staggered to steady himself. The first thing he did after regaining his mobility was to point his ten fingers forward, directly at Yu Li'an's heart. "I want to see if you can still dominate me even after becoming a ghost—Ah!"
Wu Liangqi's skin started to fester from his fingertips, then spread to his palms, arms... until his shoulders.
"No, no! Why? Shouldn't—"
Jiang Wei and others, who were about to question Qin Qinsen why he untied the restraints, were horrified, thinking that there was some invisible enemy, and they all took postures to meet the enemy.
Qin Qinsen patted She Yizhi's shoulder and motioned him to look up, "The time has come."
The living people who were fighting and shouting a few minutes ago now turned into a pile of rotten meat under their eyes.
"Go ahead."
Wuliangqiu responded, spinning around and collecting Wu Liangqi's soul. It was so fast that no one could react, leaving only rotting flesh to testify to what had just happened in the mountain.
"What did you do?" She Yizhi's throat tightened, and he looked at Qin Qinsen with a wary look in his eyes. "Duyin people... shouldn't be like this."
"Don't say you don't know what kind of sinister magic he practiced. He actually dared to come to Yuxia Mountain, where the yin energy leaked out, and seek his own death. Besides, you should ask how much evil he has done and how many years he has deceived you. Is Shao Jizhong's mother really the way you remember her?" Qin Qinsen lowered his head. "You feel guilty towards them, so you help them more. But haven't you considered that it was just a scam from beginning to end?"
Gossip is like an endless pursuit, and when Wu Liangqi's soul was captured, the whole story unfolded in Qin Qinsen's mind.
Simply put, it was a scheme set up by Shao's mother at the suggestion of Taoist priest Wu Liangqi. A naive, wealthy daughter bravely pursues love, but her parents, disapproving of She Yizhi's age, forcibly separate them. The girl, unable to reconcile her family and lover, ultimately leaves for a foreign country in tears.
Who would have thought that when they met again many years later, She Yizhi had a big son.
Hearing Qin Qinsen's words, She Yizhi's heart remained calm. He just looked up and said, "He is my son. What's wrong with me helping him? But you, as a person who crosses the Yin, disregard human life."
He spat and made a disdainful expression.
Qin Qinsen nodded in understanding, "You knew Wu Liangqi was lying, but you acquiesced."
"So, you approved of the Linhai Group's tactics against the Teng family. Whether it was Shao Jizhong's greed or Wu Liangqi's evil nature, they were all the result of your tacit approval. That's why you've been plagued by sins and are burdened with debts. The wronged souls in the underworld are waiting for you."
Jiang Wei stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry."
Revealing the red rope in their hands, Jiang Wei and Qiao Qiao put She Yizi's hands behind his back.
"Actually, I have a question that I have never understood. Can you help me solve it?" She Yizhi kept his head raised and looked at Qin Qinsen, letting them do what they wanted. "How are the people who cross the Yin chosen?"
Without giving Qin Qinsen time to answer, She Yizhi suddenly grabbed the red rope with his backhand and tore it apart.
A sudden strong wind blew up in the mountain, and in the air filled with gloomy energy, an evil ghost appeared howling and pounced on Jiang Wei and others.
"Help them." Qin Qinsen released Yu Li'an from his grip, his eyes never leaving She Yizhi's. Only the gust of wind blowing past him told him that Yu Li'an had moved.
"The previous person who crossed the Yin was a sickly person, and you have no concern for the people and treat human life as worthless. Why are you the one who deserves it?!"
She Yizhi definitely deserves the reputation of being old but still strong. The golden hammer in his hand suddenly grew bigger and attacked Qin Qinsen directly.
He dodged the sledgehammer sideways, squeezed the nearby evil spirit that was about to attack into a ball, and threw it at She Yizhi. "Duyinren is just a title, just like Jiang Wei is the captain and you are the advisor. It's ordinary, nothing special."
She Yizhi was obviously not satisfied with Qin Qinsen's relaxed and nonchalant attitude, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "It's like this again, you are all like this... As long as we add one more good person, we can remove the negative energy of Yuxia Mountain, and then we can surpass the Luo family, the Ji family, and even the Teng family!"
"rise!"
As She Yizhi became more and more angry, the three evil ghosts with red eyes suddenly grew in size, their clothes turned blood red, and they pounced on Qin Qinsen with strange smiles.
"As a ferryman of the underworld, you are clearly lacking in virtue, yet you are blessed with a golden aura of merit. Have you cultivated some kind of evil magic? Tell me, if we join forces to suppress Yuxia Mountain, it will be another great merit. From now on, you can do whatever you want without having to worry about the consequences."
The talisman paper transformed into a sword, barely blocking the ghost's claws. He bent down and rolled, awkwardly dodging the attacks of the other two evil spirits. Qin Qinsen swung his sword and chopped off the head of one of the evil spirits. He stomped his foot hard, and the evil spirit instantly became silent.
"It's impossible for a person to refuse to accept his old age. Not only does his eyesight not work well, but he's also incredibly stubborn. I beg you infinitely!"
Wuliangqiu saw that no ghost paid any attention to him, and he jumped up and down in anger. When he heard Qin Qinsen's voice, he immediately turned into a golden thread and penetrated the blood-stained ghost.
At the same time, Qin Qinsen's long sword pierced the evil ghost's heart, and the long sword pointed directly at Yu Li'an, who had blocked the sneak attack for Xiao Song. "The people who cross the Yin never have a term, nor are they unique. Even if they become a ghost and become the core of the formation, Yu Li'an is still a crossbowman."
Following Qin Qinsen's sword, She Yizi looked over.
"So what? This is what people from the Yin Crossing should do."
"It's nothing. I just want to tell you why you have become a sinister villain, while we are the ones who cross the Yin River." Qin Qinsen suddenly put away his sword, and as the yellow paper fluttered to the ground, a biting cold wind rose from the ground.
He attacked She Yizhi with rocks and talismans.
"Do you think the peace and tranquility of Yuxia Mountain over the past decade or so is due to your so-called forbidden technique? It's Yu Li'an. Although the soul is the core of the formation, she can chant scriptures, can transcend, and can influence the wronged souls with her own obsession. Unlike you, who is like a turtle, hiding in the shell you built for yourself."
"Sacrificing the souls of the dead, the living, and those who cross the dead is all for the sake of saving people. You do all this to prevent the gate to the underworld from opening. But that's not enough. You also have to seal everyone's memories - as long as no one knows, you will still be a hidden master with extraordinary abilities, right?"
Qin Qinsen spat out a mouthful of blood, his face paled instantly. "You've been deceiving people for so long that you've even deceived yourself. Why don't you let me see what's behind the Yellow Springs Gate that you're most afraid of?"
She Yizhi had just escaped from the fierce wind in a panic. Upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically, "No!"
"Master Qin, stop it!"
"Can't!"
Yu Li'an crushed the evil spirits under his command, floated high in the sky, and laughed, "Hahaha, good! I'll come too!"
After exchanging a glance with Yu Li'an, the man and the ghost shouted at the same time:
"open."
'open! '
