"Brother Jing, don't be so excited. Young people are more impulsive after all. We can discuss anything."
Ren Zhenzi seemed to be good-tempered and stopped the master behind her, playing the good guy role.
He looked at Gu Zhisang who was alone, frowned and said:
"Little friend Gu, you don't know that we are not looking for trouble with you for no reason. Have you heard of the 'evil spirit'? The reason why Xuanmen wants to take back the jade finger bone is because we met a person who was born with an evil omen."
"That man has had a very strong and dense 'evil spirit' in his body since birth. It cannot be purified or removed, and he has been suffering for more than 20 years. In the past two years, his condition has become increasingly dangerous. Sometimes the evil spirit in his body cannot be stopped. If one day he completely loses control, he will become a great evil creature that brings disaster to the world! By then, it may affect tens of millions of innocent people!"
Having said that, Zhenzhengzi paused for a moment, thinking that Gu Zhisang would ask about the follow-up, or at least give a response.
However, the young master just stood there quietly, expressionless, which made Ren Zhenzi feel embarrassed and unhappy.
He continued to talk about the great principles of Xuanmen:
"We in the Xuanmen have been trying to find a solution to this problem over the years, but..." Ren Zhenzi sighed and shook her head.
"The appearance of the jade finger bone is the turning point of this matter. This object has been tempered by thunder and is the best Yang magic weapon. It can suppress evil spirits and purify evil spirits! That's why we want to take back the jade finger bone to suppress the 'evil spirit' in this person, so as to prevent the Yang world from falling into unnecessary crisis."
"This matter was originally a secret of our sect. I told you, little friend Gu, because I hope you can understand the way of the Xuanmen sect, understand the truth, and put the safety of the people of the world first."
To be honest, Gu Zhisang would rather these people just robbed the things directly, which she could accept more than Ren Zhenzi's false righteousness and morality.
Looking at that hypocritical old face, she had a complicated expression and felt a little nauseous.
According to Ren Zhenzi, if he did not agree with Xuanmen's "proposal", he would be ignorant of the situation and would not care about the lives of the people in the world. If that person with an ominous sign gets out of control and causes harm to the world in the future, he would be a great sinner?
Standing on the moral high ground and accusing oneself in this way, isn't this what the audience in the live broadcast room often call "moral kidnapping?"
Gu Zhisang leaned on the peach wood sword and said coldly: "It seems that I have to 'give up' the jade finger bone today."
Ren Zhenzi just smiled and said nothing.
The phone dinged at the right time and a message popped up.
Gu Zhisang glanced at the screen. It was a reminder from the airport that she was about to board the plane. When she raised her head, her eyes were cold:
"I still say the same thing. I have the things but I won't give them to you. If you want to borrow them, you can do so. Please sign a contract in black and white. The borrowing period and the amount to be paid must be clearly stated and then made public."
Someone in the crowd laughed disdainfully.
A small, self-taught Taoist master wants to establish a rivalry with the Taoist sect and also wants to make himself known to the outside world.
Should we say that this girl is stupid or that she is too naive?
A young master with long hair and a grey-green robe advised with a hint of sympathy: "Little girl, you should hand over your things."
In fact, everyone knows that they are just taking advantage of their power to bully others and steal their treasures.
There were two or three of these masters who felt disgusted and thought that what they were doing was no different from robbery and that they were selected by their sect to participate in this trip.
Due to various restrictions and worries, they could only endure the discomfort and come here with gritted teeth. All they could do was to persuade Gu Zhisang to not be so stubborn;
They didn't want to see such a talented youngster get hurt or even seriously injured because of this incident.
The old man behind Ren Zhenzi snorted coldly: "You are so stubborn! Brother Ren Zhen, please don't waste your breath on such a narrow-minded and selfish kid."
Gu Zhisang's expression turned completely cold. "I don't like being late. You've delayed my flight back to the city."
Her words sounded like a joke to the group of people. The old man didn't even stop and walked straight towards Gu Zhisang.
This man had gray hair and was short in stature. He wore a neat short robe and held a long white whisk. With his powerful voice and agile movements, he looked like an immortal even without judging his character.
As soon as the old man took a step, Master Xuan sighed, "Brother Jing may have improved his skills again. That little girl is going to suffer."
The master who set up the Qimen Dunjia magic array also sighed in a pretentious manner, causing Ren Zhenzi to look at him sideways: "Why is Brother Feng sighing?"
The formation master pretended to be deep and said, "I just think that Gu Zhisang is indeed quite talented. He is a rare formation talent. It's a pity."
"Yes, although he has great talent, his character is too bad."
Ren Zhenzi said in a calm tone, "If you want to blame someone, blame her for not receiving any teachings from the Xuanmen. It's only a matter of time before she develops such a perverse personality and falls. It may not be a bad thing for her to let Jingxiong, an old senior, educate her and help her change her habits."
As the two of them talked about this, the old Taoist priest was already very close to Gu Zhisang.
For some reason, the young woman who had just been "talking big" was standing there motionless, as if she was frightened.
The old Taoist flicked the whisk in his hand, which made a whistling sound and lashed towards Gu Zhisang like a whip, with ruthlessness in his eyes and no mercy at all.
The young man in green robe who had tried to dissuade the attacker sighed, unable to bear to watch the tragedy that was about to happen, and lowered his eyes to avoid seeing it.
The next second, a hoarse and piercing scream resounded throughout the illusion.
The young master sensed something strange and looked up into the distance in shock. He saw that the body of the old Taoist in gray was like a rag, and was flying backwards in the air due to the shock.
The scream did not come from Gu Zhisang's mouth.
It's about respecting the elderly!!
His body fell heavily at Jin Zhenzi's feet, only two or three meters away from the group.
This is an ending that no one had ever imagined!
Ren Zhenzi's calm mask finally cracked. She dodged to the side with a grim expression, thus preventing the short Taoist's rolling body from hitting her legs.
"Brother Jing?!"
"Hurry, hurry up and help him up!"
A Taoist priest came closer to take a look and was shocked to see the dirty blood spurted out by the Taoist priest, which splashed all over his clothes. He frantically tried to stop the bleeding from his wound.
Looking at the two bloody holes on his torso and the broken bones in his hand due to the strong impact on the ground, these masters looked at each other in shock and fear, not knowing what to say.
There was a bronze plate hanging around the waist of the Taoist priest Jinglao, on which was engraved the ancient Xuanmen characters: Xuan Qijie.
That is a symbol of the master's rank and status.
There are twelve stages of Yellow-level Xuan Master, eight levels of Xuan, four levels of Earth-level Xuan Master, and the final Heaven-level Xuan Master is a great being who has already stepped half a foot into the Immortal Class and is about to transcend the tribulation.
The entire metaphysical community may not be able to find it.
Therefore, a master of Jinglaodao's level is already very powerful.
Such a Xuan Master who had reached the top level of the 'Xuan' grade, faced off against Gu Zhisang, and was defeated in one blow without even seeing how the other party attacked, leaving him in a state of disarray. How could this not surprise and shock other people in the Xuan Sect?
Someone said dryly, "Could this person be an Earth-level master? Should we still embarrass her?"
There are not many among them who are higher in rank and more accomplished than Jinglaodao.
Feeling the aura around Gu Zhisang, Ren Zhenzi stared at her, "How is it possible? Could she have been able to practice Taoism since her mother's womb?!"
"Look, what is that?!"
Following one person's exclamation, the others barely gathered their consciousness from the shock and looked carefully. They saw that with Gu Zhisang's peach wood sword pointing at the ground as the center, there were two shining black and white chess pieces on her left and right.
There is a faint Bagua diagram under her feet!
The fluctuating aura was surrounding her in a circle and was still spreading around her.
The array master's face was distorted. Although he was unwilling and resigned in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Is it the 'Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Array'?!"
Jin Zhenzi glared at him, "What?"
The so-called "Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation" is a large formation derived from Tai Chi Bagua.
Based on the directions of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams and the principle of the Five Elements, a seemingly simple basic formation is presented.
As long as you slightly change the array point at a certain position in the array, it will change into an array with different functions and abilities.
Such as the Heroes Formation, Crouching Dragon Formation, Long Snake Formation, Ten-Sided Ambush Formation, etc. Even Gu Zhisang's 'Qi Men Dun Jia' is just a branch of the 'Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation'!
The formation master had heard of this formation, but it required too high ability and deduction from the person who set up the formation. He never imagined that the first, and possibly the only time in his life that he would see the grand formation that all formation masters dream of, was in the hands of a junior!
His face looked gloomy, like an eggplant hit by frost.
Ren Zhenzi growled, "Now that you've seen it, find a way to break it!"
The formation master looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, "Do you think she can set up a more powerful formation within my formation? I can't even feel the slightest abnormality, what can I use to fight her?"
He no longer paid attention to Ren Zhenzi, staring at the Bagua diagram at Gu Zhisang's feet with a somewhat crazy and obsessed look, muttering to himself:
"So that's how it is. She actually used a mere chess piece as a point of attack. The moment she approached him, she was targeted by the Bagua formation. The tip of the sword is the 'command platform'. She is as still as a mountain and can plan and change the Qiankun and Kun hexagrams, making the formation change in an instant..."
"She is a genius, a truly extraordinary genius!!"
Jin Zhenzi: ? ?
Seeing her teammates betraying her so easily, Ren Zhenzi was so angry that she could no longer maintain her graceful demeanor.
If they, a group of people from the Xuanmen, went out and couldn't take anything away, and were beaten back home by a young girl, they would probably be laughed at by their colleagues in the sect!
Ren Zhenzi said loudly: "Gu Zhisang, you actually used such cruel and vicious means to attack my Xuanmen senior. You are a vicious woman with a vicious heart! Today I must purge the unhealthy trends in the metaphysical world!"
Gu Zhisang sneered and lazily looked up at the angry Ren Zhenzi, "I'm so scared."
Looking around, he found that none of the people who came today were core figures of Xuanmen. In other words, in the eyes of Xuanmen, he was still just an ignorant minion.
At this moment, 'Guiying Ghost' Zhou Huilan, who had been staying obediently in the talisman and dared not move, felt the oppression around her and the surge of the aura outside.
It was very familiar with this aura. During the hundred years of its escape, many of the Xuanists who had hunted it down had these disgusting auras on them.
At this time, Zhou Huilan still believed that Gu Zhisang was a bad character among the masters because she looked too dishonest.
It thought that Gu Zhisang was being hunted by a righteous master. In order to gain favor with Gu Zhisang and hope that she would not send it to the underworld, Zhou Huilan bravely emerged from the talisman.
"Who dares to hurt my Lord?!"
Gu Zhisang: ...?
Ren Zhenzi's eyes lit up, as if she had caught Gu Zhisang's handle, and she shouted:
"You are indeed an evil witch. You actually raise evil ghosts and use forbidden techniques to imprison ghosts as ghost slaves, corrupting the morals of our righteous way!"
Gu Zhisang was speechless. She glanced at Zhou Huilan's translucent soul indifferently and didn't say much.
It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. No matter if there are ghosts around you or not, as long as you don't follow what these people think, you will be considered evil in their eyes.
On the contrary, Zhou Huilan, who was in a rage, looked around and realized that she might have done something bad with good intentions. She smiled awkwardly to please others and immediately shrank back into the talisman, not daring to make a sound.
However, after seeing the ghost around Gu Zhisang, the other masters who were still hesitating and watching had to join the battlefield.
Suddenly, attacks from all directions came towards Gu Zhisang.
She raised the peach wood sword in her hand, picked up a black chess piece with the tip of the sword and threw it. The moment it fell into the grass, the fog inside the formation changed rapidly.
Ambushed from all sides, murderous intent emerges.
And her figure seemed to disappear out of thin air.
The masters trapped in the formation were nervous and alert.
The young man in green robe seemed to have sensed something and took out a wooden instrument from his arms. He ran his thumb along its back, and its joints and limbs stretched out from the sphere, moving as freely and flexibly as a living creature.
Just as he was about to use the puppet stand to break through the maze in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. Before the young master could react, he was knocked away by the indifferent young woman's stick. The puppet stand in his hand fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then stood up again.
Gu Zhisang had no good feelings towards this group of Xuanmen people. The only one who still had some conscience was probably the descendant of Lu Ban.
She said coldly: "The five evils have already occupied the 'alone'. If you don't want to end up with the 'disabled', just stay away."
After saying this, her figure disappeared from the spot.
As the black and white chess pieces kept changing positions, the 'Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' became more confusing, and there were even cases where the attacks of two masters collided with each other, resulting in both sides being injured.
In the blink of an eye, most of these self-proclaimed elite masters fell.
Ren Zhenzi clenched his teeth, knowing that he couldn't go on like this. He kept making hand seals in front of his chest and chanting spells that ordinary people couldn't understand. The scene in front of him gradually became clear.
Ren Zhenzi's cultivation level in Xuanmen is not very high, only the sixth level of "Xuan", but his status is very high and he can even be on good terms with the masters of some medium-sized Taoist temples because he is a descendant of the Legalist school.
What he practices is the Taoism of Heaven and Earth, but there are few people who can inherit it now, so he is very proud of his status.
Seeing Gu Zhisang's looming figure in the mist, Ren Zhenzi became ruthless. He took out two powerful fire talismans from his sleeve, chanted a spell to ignite them, and then threw them in the direction of Gu Zhisang.
Gu Zhisang, who had his back to him, suddenly turned his head and smiled faintly.
Ren Zhenzi felt ominous, and then she heard a scream from behind her.
As he turned his head, the scorching flames burned the talisman and pounced on him like a long snake, directly singeing his eyebrows and eyelashes and burning blisters on his face.
…
After the dark blue color of the sky was completely replaced by the morning glow, Gu Zhisang slowly and methodically took back all the chess pieces in the formation and inserted the peach wood sword into the holster behind him.
She clapped her hands and checked the time on her phone.
Good, the flight was totally delayed.
Gu Zhisang had a stern face and was typing on the screen of his mobile phone. During this time, a group of masters with varying degrees of injuries huddled together and hugged Ju Nuan, looking at her with fear and tension, fearing that they would be wiped out and killed to silence them next.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhisang walked up to them and said, "It's time to settle the accounts now."
Several people looked confused.
Gu Zhisang said: "The plane was delayed. The air ticket and taxi fare for this flight were wasted by you. You have to compensate me for this money."
"Besides that, you guys ruined my mood and tried to murder and suppress me. You left a deep psychological trauma on a young and inexperienced master like me. You have to pay for meals and consolation. Since there are so many of you, each of you should get 100,000 yuan."
When they heard that she wanted money, several masters felt relieved.
But then he secretly despised them in his heart, thinking that Gu Zhisang was indeed afraid of offending Xuanmen and did not dare to do anything to them.
But the next words made them open their eyes wide.
"You wasted one hour and eight minutes of my time arguing with you. If you cut off the decimals, I will charge you one hour's labor fee. Although you didn't spend much time on average, I beat you all and my hands were tired, so each of you must compensate me 1.7 million."
"What kind of perverted logic is this?" The dusty Master Xuan's eyes widened: "Are you robbing?!"
Gu Zhisang smiled: "Do you think I'm as shameless as you guys?"
She casually flipped through a cover photo invitation, on which was the magazine's own invitation price. "Look carefully, this invitation was sent half a month ago. I'm very conscientious not to ask you to pay according to my current popularity."
"Female celebrities' time is very valuable. I have warned you."
This is not the end yet. She propped up her chin and looked at them coldly, "After I get what I deserve, let's get something else."
"Since you people from the Xuan Sect like to threaten others in broad daylight, you should be prepared to be retaliated against if you are not as skilled as others. Three million is the life-saving money for each of you. Rounding it off, each of you can give me five million and you can get out of here."
"You!" A Xuanshi was furious and threatened: "Gu Xiaoyou, don't be so ruthless! Aren't you afraid of being remembered by the Xuanmen?!"
Gu Zhisang flicked a black chess piece with his backhand, making a new hole in the man's body, and said in a kind tone:
“You don’t have to buy it.”
In the end, they endured the frustration and barely scraped together enough money for each person to save their lives and transferred it to Gu Zhisang's work account.
Because the amount was so large, several people received calls from the bank. Listening to the customer service's warm and caring inquiries, they actually felt like crying.
After receiving the money, Gu Zhisang left.
As for how the person in the formation can get out, naturally she has to wait until her remaining strength completely disappears and can no longer support the formation, and then walk out on her own.
Feeling that there was no one around, Zhou Huilan, who had been hiding in the talisman, carefully poked her head out again:
"My Lord, you are so majestic!"
Seeing that Gu Zhisang ignored him, he asked again, "Master, where are we going next?"
This time Gu Zhisang finally responded, "I'll send you to hell."
Zhou Huilan:? ! !
It wanted to cry but had no tears, so it completely retracted the talisman and stopped talking.
Gu Zhisang, who was strict about the contract, originally planned to tell Liu Jin about the agreement, but in the end she stomped her feet and summoned a three-meter-high ghost gate, preparing to pass through the underworld.
When her figure appeared on the Yellow Springs Road, she once again saw the Yinchai Horse-Faced Guard on duty at the bridgehead.
It and a group of floating ghosts became excited when they saw him. The gray fog around them surged and rolled, and its horse eyes widened.
Thinking of the strangeness during their previous encounters, Gu Zhisang finally realized something and asked tentatively, "Master Yincha, do you have anything to say to me?"
It was the first time that Horse-Faced Guard spoke to his idol. He nodded excitedly, the steel fork in his hand jingling.
It turns out that it wasn’t really my illusion.
Every time he came to the underworld, Gu Zhisang always felt that the ghosts here were looking at him, as if they knew him.
She asked again tentatively: "I will come to the underworld to hand over the ghost later. Can I talk to the ghost messenger in detail then?"
"Of course! Sangsang, you go ahead and do your work first." The Horse-Faced Guard said in a rough voice.
Gu Zhisang was stunned when she heard the ghost address her. At this time, other ghosts gathered around her. After seeing her, they waved at her excitedly, and some even broke off their skulls and threw them up, trying to attract her attention.
"It's Gu Zhisangye! She's looking at us!!"
"Sangsang, look at me. I am your fan! I will give you my skull!"
Until he returned to the ground again, Gu Zhisang was still a little confused.
It seems like I'm still a celebrity in the underworld?
At this time, she was already standing in Rongcheng. Instead of going directly to the crew, she took a taxi to Liu Jin's house.
After the last show, Liu Jin's mother Dong Ying recovered her soul and no longer had to stay in the yellow talisman paper and go to the underworld to reincarnate.
So Gu Zhisang left it at Liu Jin's house, and agreed to send it to the underworld after the live broadcast, leaving the mother and son with a last bit of tender time.
Gu Zhisang also accepted Zhou Huilan on the show, so it was a good opportunity to take her along.
When it came time to leave, Dong Ying and Liu Jin were already very open-minded and did not hesitate.
Dong Ying floated out from the yellow talisman paper and bowed to Gu Zhisang, "I am lucky to be able to stay with Liu Jin for another month in the mortal world. Thank you, Sangsang."
Instead, Zhou Huilan groaned, "Sir, if I serve my sentence in hell and reform myself, can I come back to be your ghost slave again?"
Gu Zhisang was somewhat helpless: "Do you really want to be a ghost slave? Why don't you want to reincarnate?"
Zhou Huilan hesitated for a long time before she said shyly, "I haven't met my true love yet, and I don't know the taste of love. I don't want to be reborn like this."
It had its engagement broken off during its lifetime, and found a handsome and considerate lover, which was its obsession with finding a body after it became a ghost.
After hearing about its past, Dong Ying pondered for a moment and said:
"Then you should go to the underworld. Think about it, in the human world, you have to go through untold hardships to find a suitable body, and it is also against the will of heaven. But in the underworld, it is different. You can find a handsome ghost."
"You are relatively powerful among the ghosts. If you don't like it, just kick it away and find another one. If it dares to betray you, you can eat it. Isn't that better than being in the world of the living?"
Zhou Huilan: !!!
The feudal naive people of the last dynasty were greatly shocked. They felt that the door to a new world had been opened to them, and they were very excited.
Soon it pulled Dong Ying's hand and began to call her "good sister", and urged Gu Zhisang to send them to the underworld as soon as possible.
…
After passing through the Ghost Gate again, Gu Zhisang brought Dong Ying and Zhou Huilan to the Yellow Springs intersection.
As soon as one foot stepped out of the dark door, bursts of cheers were heard from outside.
When Gu Zhisang looked up, he saw the dark ghosts with excited faces, like monsters seeing Tang Monk's flesh, and they couldn't wait to pounce on him.
Every ghost was calling her name. Some were holding what looked like banners and wearing clips on their heads that looked like those worn by celebrities in the entertainment industry, with her cold face on them.
It turned out that she had just appeared in the underworld and agreed with the Horse-Faced Guardian that she would come back in a while. The news was instantly spread among the ghosts who heard it.
For a moment, the ghosts nearby were extremely excited and ran to the Yellow Springs Road to wait. Ghosts who came to chase their idol also rushed here from Sanzu River and other places.
I don't know where I heard that a ghost used his skull to attract her attention. In order to attract the idol's attention, the ghosts were unwilling to be outdone and came up with a strange trick:
"Sangsang, look at me! I can rip my whole head off and give it to you!!"
"I can do that too. I can even dig out my eyeballs and a rib. Sangsang, I love you so much!"
"Gu Zhisang, do you want a ghost slave? As long as you give me the signal, I will come over and give you a contract. I studied at New Oriental and passed the Michelin three-star exam in my lifetime!"
"What's your shitty skill? When I was alive, I was a financial expert for a Fortune 500 company. As long as you tell me, Sangsang, I will trade stocks for you and manage your finances, and make you a billionaire in three years!"
"Sangsang, we also want to interact with you. When can you come to the underworld to live permanently?"
“…”
This was a large-scale ghost competition in the underworld that was comparable to a job interview, and it completely stunned Dong Ying and Zhou Huilan.
Staring at the thousands of gloomy eyes around them, they felt that the eyes of those ghosts looking at them were full of viciousness and jealousy, and they wished they could be pulled aside immediately and take the place next to Gu Zhisang.
"So you have such a high prestige in the underworld. Sister Dong Ying, am I not very competitive compared to these ghosts?"
Dong Ying said lovingly, "You discovered it."
Zhou Huilan:嘤QAQ
The horse mask, which had put on the handmade pink cheering mask again, became a little more "shy" and took out the King of Hell brand mobile phone and handed it to Gu Zhisang:
"Look, Sangsang, you have a lot of fans in the underworld."
What appeared on the screen was Da Yan Zai's software page, but with an additional "hell" logo, and her homepage had 888 million fans!
If placed in the mortal world, this number is half of the population of Xia Kingdom.
Only then did Gu Zhisang know that "Spiritual Affairs" was broadcast in the underworld and that he was currently the top star in the underworld.
She felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked at the dark crowds of ghosts around her and found that they were all her 'fans'.
Gu Zhisang still felt that this was a bit absurd, so he asked, "Are all those people who are paying attention to me ghosts?"
The horse-faced man said proudly, "Yes, Sangsang, and we already have 1,322 ghost fan groups. I am your biggest fan."
Gu Zhisang: "...There are nearly 1 billion ghosts?"
Horse-Faced Guard paused for a moment, "Yes, 888 million is indeed too little. Don't worry, Sangsang. Internet access is not yet widely available in many remote areas and the Eighteen Layers of Hell. But I'm already building a fan site."
The horse-faced man clenched his fist and said, "I will make you famous in the underworld."
"……No."
Gu Zhisang held his forehead and felt that today was the most absurd day in his life.
She could not resist the enthusiasm of the ghosts. Seeing that the momentum of the Hao** was still growing, she quickly handed over the two ghosts, Dong Ying, and asked:
"Master Yincha, I have something I want to discuss with the King of Hell. Could you please let me know?"
Horse-faced: "Of course."
Although Gu Zhisang couldn't handle so much enthusiasm, she didn't hate it. Before leaving, she took out all the blank yellow papers and folded countless gold ingots as a gift to these ghost fans in the underworld.
However, because her soul power was so strong, the gold ingots she stacked were automatically classified as the highest level in the Heaven and Earth Bank after being scanned by the underworld.
She originally wanted to do something good, but those ghost fans started fighting over gold ingots again, and in the hustle and bustle, someone's eyeball was squeezed out and stepped on.
After entering the Hall of Yama, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet.
After Gu Zhisang stepped into the solemn and majestic building, he saw one of the Ten Kings of Hell on the high steps.
She looked at him for a moment, then bowed and said, "Greetings, King Lunzhuan."
Xue Li, the King of the Wheel of Death, is the King of Hell of the Tenth Palace. He is also the only King of Hell who does not have subordinates in charge of various small hells of punishment.
It is responsible for judging the good and evil of ghosts, and determining gender, status, and lifespan in reincarnation.
In his previous life, Gu Zhisang often went in and out of the underworld and had interactions with the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld. Among them, the King of Wheels had the best temper of all the Kings of Hell, perhaps because he was not involved in punishment and did not arrest evil spirits.
At this time, the rotating king Xue Li, wearing the imperial crown, was a little curious, "You know me?"
Without waiting for Gu Zhisang to reply, the Wheel King continued:
"But the King of Hell in our underworld knows you, Gu Zhisang. You are very famous in the underworld. You use the Ghost Gate of the underworld as a portal every day. Sit down and talk. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Zhisang's eyelids twitched, and he thanked him and sat down at the bottom.
If the Wheel King had not spoken in a gentle tone with a hint of smile in his voice, she would have thought that the underworld was going to cause trouble for her.
King of the Wheel: "First, tell me why you want to see me."
Gu Zhisang told Xue Li about Zhou Huilan's story. Xue Li called the ghost to investigate and found out that Zhou Huilan's fiancé had indeed escaped punishment because he was killed by ghosts and his past was not thoroughly investigated after he went to the underworld.
After giving his orders, King Lunzhuan asked, "You came here for more than just this, right?"
Gu Zhisang hesitated for a moment, then took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, presented it with both hands and said:
"May I ask King Lunzhuan, was this thing leaked out from the underworld?"
The Wheel King waved his hand and the bottle flew into his palm. He opened it, sniffed it once, and then put the lid back on with a complicated expression.
"No, I have something I want you to see."
As he spoke, a booklet appeared in front of Gu Zhisang.
She glanced at the Wheel King, picked it up and opened it.
It records various data changes in the underworld over the past two hundred years, among which the number of living people who turned into ghosts after death and escaped the reincarnation in the underworld increased greatly.
The number of evil ghosts in the underworld continues to increase, and the number of evil ghosts sent to the eighteen levels of hell and various smaller hells is several times more than in the past few hundred years.
The most intuitive feeling is that as people continue to become worse, the ghosts in the underworld begin to become unrestrained.
Gu Zhisang had a hunch that this was not something that anyone could see, and it must be a secret of the underworld.
She looked at the Wheel King, wondering why he wanted to show it to her.
Unexpectedly, the Wheel King said meaningfully: "In fact, we have noticed you since you appeared in the underworld. Your soul is very special."
Gu Zhisang's soul has gone through the heavenly calamity, and although it failed, it did not disperse. She has already become an earthly immortal. In essence, her soul is of higher status than many ghosts in the underworld.
The sudden appearance of such a being has certainly attracted the attention of the King of Hell.
It’s just that the Wheel King and other Hades all regarded her as an earthly immortal who failed in her calamity and was possessed by someone else.
King Lunzhuan said: "You have experienced the catastrophe, so you should know that the spiritual energy in the world of the living is weak. There has not been a successful human immortal in the past 800 years. In fact, the underworld was already affected earlier."
"Now the evil ghosts in the underworld are rampant, and the number of escapees who have repeatedly challenged the prestige of the underworld has increased greatly. We have long discovered the appearance of such strange and corrupt gases. Although we don't know where it comes from or why, we suspect that the changes in the Yin and Yang worlds are related to this thing."
The underworld controls the reincarnation of souls, while the immortal realm is separated from the six realms. Unless a catastrophic event occurs, the three realms will not intersect with each other.
Therefore, the Wheel King and others were not sure whether changes had occurred only in the Yin and Yang worlds, nor did they know whether the Immortal Court knew about this.
They tried to investigate, but found nothing and were unable to go to the human world.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Gu Zhisang suddenly appeared.
He is a living person, and has the abilities of an earthly immortal.
The Wheel King looked at her and said, "We in the Hades Palace would like to take this opportunity to ask you for something."
"The underworld will grant you some emissary rights to the greatest extent possible. If there is anything that requires the help of the underworld, we can consider it as long as it is not excessive. We just hope that you can investigate the appearance of this thing and the changes in the Yin and Yang world on earth, or help the underworld capture those evil spirits that have escaped from prison."
"What do you think?"
After a brief thought, Gu Zhisang stood up and returned the greeting, "I accept."
It seems that I have passed through the underworld many times, but the Ten Kings of Hell pretended not to see it. It is for this reason that they have already set their sights on me.
Gu Zhisang didn't really need the identity of a messenger from the underworld to gild herself, but the black fog was an important reason for her failure in overcoming the calamity and the damage to her body in her previous life. It was also very likely the culprit that hindered her from improving her Taoism in this life.
She must investigate this matter.
She wants to find out who is causing trouble behind the scenes.
By doing this, he could do the King of Hell a favor and gain some convenience, killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, then I will start helping you manage your identity now." King Lunzhuan glanced at Gu Zhisang and said, "If you have any other needs, you can tell me now."
Gu Zhisang thought about it and said bluntly:
"Could you please help me make a statement when the underworld issues the messenger's document?"
The Rotating King raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."
This Gu Zhisang was really not afraid of it, and was quite bold in asking for things. It asked curiously:
"Who are you going to sue?"
Gu Zhisang said: "Xuanmen."
After everything was arranged, the Wheel King made a small joke:
"After becoming the messenger of the underworld, your connection with the underworld has become closer. Now many ghosts like you very much. Would you consider holding a fan meeting in the underworld?"
Seeing Gu Zhisang's complicated expression, King Lunzhuan laughed twice and asked the underworld messenger to send her out of the Palace of Hell.
When the Wheel King was the only one left in the hall, it narrowed its eyes and produced a huge book of life and death out of thin air.
After opening it, the pages of the book turned automatically, and Gu Zhisang's name did not appear until the end.
Xue Li touched his chin and murmured, "Who on earth is this Gu Zhisang..."
