Chapter 91 Kaifeng Weird Things

Ten days later, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finally returned to Kaifeng Prefecture. Looking at the familiar city gate in front of them, they suddenly felt that it was not easy and even had the illusion that they were in another world.

The first half of the journey was indeed smooth, until they left the shady shop, and the two knights who had once roamed the world saw more wonders that they had never imagined.

In the dark night, when everything is silent, wronged souls will block the way. They crawl on the ground and complain to the master of hell who is watching over them from above with hoarse and piercing voices.

The bandits hiding in the forest, the old man with a treacherous heart, the businessman who appears to be warm but actually has murderous intentions, the hypocritical gentleman who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs...

Even Bai Yutang was chilled by this. How could there be so many evil people hiding deep in this world? If there were no wronged souls, how could their evil deeds be known to the world? When will the wronged souls who died in their hands be able to avenge themselves and see the light of day?

For the first time, the long-haired ruler of hell showed her cruel and ruthless side towards two humans she liked very much. She rejected Zhan Zhao's proposal and did not leave these villains to the local authorities to let them be punished by human laws.

She grasped the long spikes as tall as a person that rose from the shadows beneath her feet, stepped on the hellfire that occasionally whispered, and nailed them to death in the flames one by one.

The hellfire restrainedly and slowly burned their bodies and souls, prolonging their suffering to the greatest extent and delaying the time they fell into hell.

The wronged souls who were allowed by the Lord of Hell screamed and rushed forward, tearing the flesh and blood of their enemies like wild beasts, and let out miserable roars, as if they wanted to vent all the hatred and resentment they had in their lives and after their death.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood aside in silence, finally lowering their eyes and letting out a heavy sigh.

Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor, and every blood debt must be repaid with blood.

The sin in the world has never disappeared and will never disappear. It lurks like a shadow around everyone and in everyone's heart. It only takes a trigger to lure people into the evil path.

But there is also truth, goodness and beauty in the world. They are opposed to evil and grow stronger as one declines. Unless all human beings are destroyed one day, this will be the eternal balance between them.

[Devil Knight] will not overturn such a balance. She only needs to drag the sins into hell, and as for the others, they will have their own way to go.

In the end, the roaring hellfire takes away the souls of all the evildoers. Like those before them, they will fall into hell for eternity, looping in pain and despair, never finding a way out.

Witnessing the execution of their enemies with their own eyes, the wronged souls gradually let go of their obsessions. The guiding light of the underworld connected them, and the gate of the underworld, which was invisible to the living, slowly opened in the sky.

The leading ghost presented a piece of debris to the Lord of Hell who had freed them. The soybean-sized fragment still exuded the scent of soil and grass.

They bowed again, thanked devoutly, and then followed the soul-collecting messenger from the underworld and left.

"Some evils cannot be judged by human laws."

The beauty with clear sky-like hair waved her hand to recall the long black spikes, which sank into the void along with the hellfire. She looked at the two humans with shy faces and explained a few words with rare patience.

"They must die. If they don't die, the hatred and obsession of those wronged souls will not be resolved. They will only sink deeper and deeper, and eventually become evil spirits like those driven by Jiji."

If they really become like that, they will die.

Abnormal influences can be purified, but only if the degree of influence is not too deep. Once the degree of influence exceeds that line, they will become irreversible evil spirits and can only be eliminated.

A group of evil people in exchange for a group of innocent people, this is a very good deal.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhao looked ashamed and said, "We are ignorant."

Bai Yutang also bowed with him.

The Fifth Master is still a bit arrogant. At times like this, he becomes thick-skinned and can't open his mouth.

Tarona smiled and waved his hands: "You don't know these things, so how can you be considered ignorant?"

She understood that Zhan Zhao initially proposed handing over the evildoers to the government for punishment, on the one hand for the sake of human law, and on the other hand to give an explanation to the relatives and friends of the victims.

After all, hatred is sometimes a kind of power. Many of the victims' families have lost their pillars of home or their loved ones. Having a visible enemy to hate can help them get out of their grief as soon as possible.

After witnessing all this, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finally felt less cautious and figured out something from it.

Like, what is that fragment?

It is dark blue in color and looks very familiar.

Several wronged souls came along the way to seek redress, but not every time they offered fragments to the fairy who was the incarnation of the King of Fengdu.

The fairy left twice, and when she came back, her body was filled with heat and she always had something extra in her hands.

One was the size of a grain of rice, another was the size of a soybean, both were blue-black fragments.

Zhan Zhao intuitively felt that these fragments were extremely dangerous, and if he looked at them for a little longer, he would actually feel dizzy.

Looking at Bai Yuting beside him, he felt the same way.

What are these? Is this the purpose of the fairies coming to the human world?

This question was not easy to ask. Both of them were worried that it would touch upon the secrets of heaven. If they asked this question, it would bring bad changes to the human world...

Hiss, they don’t want to become sinners for all eternity.

Moreover, although the fairy let them see her, she didn't say a word to them, which probably meant they couldn't ask.

Bai Yuting turned his head away. He was not that curious and would not ask questions that he didn't need to ask.

Kaifeng was just around the corner. The closer Zhan Zhao got to Kaifeng, the more he hesitated to speak. On the way to Tarona, he glanced at him several times. After all, it was both beautiful and interesting to see such a serious person in a relationship.

"Ask whatever you want."

The Great Witch met Zhan Nanxia's rather hesitant gaze, a smile lingering in her deep red eyes.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, avoiding the teasing look from Bai Yutang beside him, and asked seriously: "Fairy, in the capital..."

Before he finished speaking, the beautiful woman called Fairy interrupted him: "Either call me by my name or call me Lady Jia."

Fairies sounded too serious when spoken by Zhan Zhao and his friends. She always felt uncomfortable. She kept calling him a fairy. What fairy spirit was there in her? When she burned people to ashes, did she look like a fairy in the traditional sense?

It is better to follow the custom of this era to address young women and call her "wife". Wuqing and the others all call her that.

Calling her fairy is a respectful title. Since the fairy herself doesn't like this title, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang can just change it. But asking them to call the fairy by her name directly is absolutely not allowed.

There is still a wall between humans and gods.

"Ms. Jia..."

Zhan Zhao paused and told him all his previous worries.

Bai Yutang curled his lips and said nothing.

In his heart, he was very happy to see those corrupt officials who held high positions and enjoyed the blessings of being superior to others but always committed all kinds of evil things go to hell, but... Mao'er was right, if Kaifeng fell into chaos, it would not be good for the country or the people.

A small move can affect the whole body, which is really uncomfortable.

After An Jing finished listening to his words, the beauty with long hair suddenly smiled dazzlingly: "Am I an unreasonable tyrant in your eyes?"

Zhan Zhao: ...

Bai Yutang: ...

The cat and the mouse suddenly felt their faces getting hot.

Both of them are rare intelligent people in the world, how could they not understand the meaning of this sentence?

The fairy was telling them not to think too much.

Although she is in charge of hell and is in charge of punishing all ghosts, what happened before was just an exception, and what they are worried about will not happen.

Looking at the two humans with red ears, ashamed faces and embarrassed eyes, the [Devil Knight] didn't say much, just said: "This is the human world, in the end it is up to you humans to make your own decisions."

If she were to carry out the punishment, at least one-fifth of the human beings in the world would be burned to ashes in the fire of hell.

She was only responsible for taking away the abnormalities, and the rest were their own jobs as long as they didn't try to commit suicide under her nose.

After listening, the two men sat on their horses and bowed to the fairy in a proper manner.

…

Zhan Zhao had to come back in a hurry, and he didn't have time to write a letter in advance to help Bao Gong and the others prepare mentally.

As for scholars, the sages once said, "A gentleman does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or spirits."

Bao Zheng, who was widely known for his great ability to "judge the Yang during the day and the Yin at night", respected heaven and earth as well as ghosts and gods, but he did not believe in ghosts and gods. There were many cases of pretending to be gods and ghosts among the strange cases solved by Bao Zheng.

So when Zhan Zhao handed him the letter written by his former classmates and the memorial to the government, and told him everything about Jingzhou and what he saw on the way, Bao Zheng was confused for a moment.

The King of Fengdu transformed himself into a fairy and descended to the human world. The man-eating evil ghosts were punished, the wronged souls blocked the road to redress their grievances, and the flames tried the evildoers...

This, this...

This really sounds too far-fetched. People who don't know Zhan Zhao would just think that he was drunk and talking nonsense, or that he was still asleep and took his dreams seriously.

But Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce both knew that Zhan Huwei never joked, he was serious.

The content of the letter and the memorial were full of deep feelings, and the second half was even tearful, showing the grief in the old friend's heart when he wrote.

so……

Bao Zheng put the letter and memorial away carefully, and asked sternly: "Zhan Huwei, where is this fairy now?"

Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. He thought he would have to work harder to convince Mr. Bao, but he didn't expect that Mr. Bao would accept it faster than he did.

He said: "The fairy is in the mansion right now, resting in the main hall with Brother Bai."

As a result, when the three of them arrived at the main hall, they only saw Bai Yutang, and they became quite restless.

Zhan Zhao was startled and asked, "Brother Bai, where is Miss Jia?"

Didn't the fairy follow them into Kaifeng and into the palace? Could it be that they both had the same illusion?

Bai Yutang almost jumped up, not even bothering to greet Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhan Zhao's wrist, saying anxiously, "Mao'er, Madam Jia is out! She said she wanted to go for a walk in the street and she wouldn't let me follow her!"

He just took his purse and went out carrying the giant beast that had shrunk again!

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath and his heart, which had been relieved at the city gate, began to lift again.

Not only him, but also Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce who learned from him how jealous and vengeful this female fairy who was the incarnation of Fengdu Emperor was couldn't help but gasp.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang just returned and didn't know that Pang Yu, who had committed a crime last year but was saved by Master Pang several times and sent to another manor under the pretext of recuperation, had returned two days ago. If they ran into...

Bao Zheng felt that he didn't need to report the Jingzhou incident to the emperor tomorrow, and now was the best time to enter the palace!
