It looked like Zhong Yan was about to make a move.
Ting Zhoudao quickly rescued his old friend and said, word by word, "What he said is true. The gates of hell are wide open, and all kinds of ghosts are running rampant. These infant spirits will not only be of no benefit to them, but will also harm them if they go back."
"What's the meaning?"
“Miss Zhong Yan, the gates of the underworld have collapsed, and the entire underworld industry has been severely damaged. The ghosts are unruly, especially those with some power, who have taken the opportunity to escape.” Bao Jingye patted his chest, looking frightened. “These days, we’ve been busy catching ghosts, and we haven’t been able to take care of things in the mortal world. By the way, since you’re so capable, why don’t you help us out and catch a few more ghosts to purify them?”
"Why should I?"
"The Five-Colored Stone needs more souls to open up a wider space. It's a win-win situation. These souls can also rest and recuperate inside, and make a good future for themselves."
"How do you know?" Zhong Yan looked slightly suspicious. She didn't even know, but the two ghost messengers knew very well. "If we encounter something that can be refined, that's fine. But if we encounter something that cannot be refined and subdued, what am I supposed to do?"
"Oh my, my dear aunt, you know the Ksitigarbha Sutra, so you can deal with most ghosts. Don't worry. If there are any ungrateful ones, just make them vanish into thin air."
"you……"
“Here, this is the Xuanming Token.” Bao Jingye directly shoved a token into her hand: “With the Xuanming Token in hand, even if you wipe out all the ghosts in the mortal world, no one will care.”
Zhong Yan felt this was a hot potato. There were countless officials in the underworld. Not to mention the highest-ranking Emperor Tianqi Rensheng, or the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, or the five ghost emperors of the east, west, south, north and center, or the six heavens of Luofeng, just the ten kings of hell were not just for show.
If things can go wrong even in this situation, then the underworld is doomed.
The two men stared at her expression, looking somewhat uneasy. They wondered if Zhong Yan would agree, and if she didn't do it well, their boss would skin them alive.
"Miss Zhong Yan, saving a ghost's life is more meritorious than building a nine-story pagoda. Please, please!"
"No." Zhong Yan pursed her lips and still refused: "Humans and ghosts are different, it's not right to break the rules."
“This is yours.” Ting Zhou’s expression grew even colder: “The heir of the Zhong family takes it upon himself to exorcise souls and deliver ghosts, and that’s what the judge said too.”
“You…” Zhong Yan fell silent. Judge, wasn’t that her ancestor? She couldn’t believe that these two were still connected to him.
So, is this what our ancestors meant?
Without further hesitation, Ting Zhoudao and Bao Jingye cast a spell and immediately fled.
Zhong Yan shook the soul-summoning bell in her hand, but it was no longer of any use, which made her very angry. The ghost children, on the other hand, were very happy. They didn't care about reincarnation and didn't want to be reborn. Staying by her side was the best decision they could make.
They called out "Sister" one after another, and Zhong Yan's anger dissipated.
Thinking it over, he waved his hand and took all the ghost dolls inside.
