Liu Yiyi frowned: "After the evil spirit eats his soul, it will probably become the Ghost King when it comes out again, right? The evil spirit that devours a human soul will immediately contract with other fallen souls and continue to cultivate in an endless cycle. It's fine if we haven't encountered it and don't have the ability, but now that we have the ability and have encountered it, we should do something about it."
This is also the principle that their master has always adhered to.
“This is none of our business.” Zhang Tianle took out King Qin Guang’s token and shook it.
King Qin Guang, who had just passed away, reappeared before Zhang Tianle through the gates of hell.
King Qin Guang, who was running back and forth: "..."
I'm angry inside, but I don't dare to show it.
"King Qin Guang, I'm afraid you'll have something to attend to this time." Zhang Tianle told King Qin Guang about Li Chunheng's matter.
King Qin Guang frowned and flipped through the Book of Life and Death.
After finding Li Chunheng's page, his expression turned cold: "I didn't expect these evil spirits to take advantage of this loophole. I owe you a favor for this matter, young friend."
In the era when the goddess ruled the underworld, based on this alone, he would probably have his official hat and head taken off by the goddess.
Undeniably, they have indeed devoted too much attention to the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld over the years, neglecting the human world. However, the occurrence of such a thing in the human world is indeed a dereliction of duty on their part.
He needs to personally oversee this matter.
As for those little brats from beyond the realm, with the other eight Yama Kings keeping an eye on them and the Haoran Ruler assisting them, those people can't cause much trouble.
On the contrary, if this matter is not handled properly, it may have negative consequences.
King Qin Guang took a step forward and disappeared from their sight.
Liu Yiyi looked at Zhang Tianle with a strange expression.
So his senior brother not only handled the matter well, but also made King Qin Guang owe him a favor.
All I can say about this is amazing!
However, Liu Yiyi suddenly remembered something: "Oh right. Senior brother, you're running out of amulets. A little over an hour ago, a fellow trader came by and said he encountered a tricky situation and bought seven hundred amulets. So our stock is suddenly insufficient."
"What kind of troublesome matter requires more than seven hundred amulets?"
"I asked him, but he didn't answer me. But I saw that he was covered in corpse energy, so he probably encountered a zombie or something like that." Liu Yiyi shook her head, but Zhang Tianle used the Yingtian Heart Sutra to look at Liu Yiyi.
The source of the talisman was traced back to Liu Yiyi.
He was quite surprised when he saw the man's face clearly.
This person was an acquaintance of their Shundaotang.
To be precise, it was Yu Liang'en, a close friend of his master and a member of the Corpse-Driving Sect.
Before he took on a junior sister, his master took him to meet Yu Liang'en, and he hasn't seen Yu Liang'en since.
It's understandable that the junior sister didn't recognize Yu Liang'en.
The corpse-driving sect to which Yu Liang'en belongs has completely declined in modern times.
Unlike before the Republic of China era, when corpses needed to be escorted home by corpse-driving gangs, modernization has eliminated many of these traditions.
For example, after cremation, the ashes are sent back to the hometown, unlike in the past when people believed in respecting the dead and ensuring their peace in the earth.
Therefore, the Corpse-Driving Sect has completely declined, and by the time of Yu Liang'en's generation, it had completely disappeared.
His lineage was essentially destroyed in his hands.
He looked at Yu Liang'en's face again.
This time, however, he was stunned.
Yu Liang'en took on a case.
A case involving the transport of an ancient corpse by a metaphysical guild.
If he can complete this task, the Mystic Guild promises to help him find a successor so that his lineage of corpse drivers can pass on their unique skills.
However, this case is very special. Yu Liang'en needs to personally go to a cave deep in the mountains to transport the body to the headquarters of the Metaphysics Association.
The Mystic Guild remained vague about the ancient corpse, only saying that once they entered the cave, they would know about it.
In order to ensure that the tradition would not be lost in his hands, Yu Liang'en ultimately decided to take on the case.
Before leaving, he bought a bunch of amulets to ensure his safety.
This is a tacit understanding between Yu Liang'en's lineage and Shundaotang's lineage.
It is said that this tacit understanding was passed down from their twentieth generation master.
Back then, Master Yu Liang'en was tricked and almost killed by a zombie. It was their twentieth generation master of Shundao Hall who saved him. Since then, Shundao Hall has established a connection with their corpse-driving lineage.
Every time the corpse-driving group went out, they would come to Shundaotang to buy amulets, and the people at Shundaotang would give them divination to predict good or bad fortune.
Zhang Tianle saw Yu Liang'en's face.
His journey here will be extremely unlucky.
The kind where there's no return.
At this moment, Yu Liang'en was preparing to board the plane.
Zhang Tianle snapped out of his daze, took out his phone, and dialed Yu Liang'en's number.
The call was answered quickly.
Yu Liang'en's hoarse voice came through the phone: "Little Tianle, what's wrong? Missing Grandpa Yu? Grandpa Yu went to Shundao Hall but didn't see you. After buying a peace charm with your junior sister, he left. Grandpa Yu has a big order this time. After this order is completed, Grandpa Yu will treat you and your junior sister to a good meal. Sigh, I couldn't come when your master passed away. I was heartbroken!"
When Zhang Tianle's master died, Yu Liang'en fell seriously ill and almost died, so he was unable to attend his master's funeral. This became an indelible regret in Yu Liang'en's heart for the rest of his life.
"That's all in the past! Please don't take it to heart, Senior Yu," Zhang Tianle casually offered a word of comfort.
Yu Liang'en smiled bitterly: "How could I let it go? Your Shundao Hall and our Yu family's corpse-driving lineage are closely connected. Your master left, and no matter the reason, if I couldn't go, then it's my fault."
"Senior Yu, let's not talk about this for now. I called you to tell you that you shouldn't take this case; there's a very bad omen about it." Zhang Tianle quickly changed the subject.
Yu Liang'en was silent for a moment, then sighed, "To be honest, Grandpa Yu knows this is a difficult matter to handle. But fortune favors the bold. They promised me that as long as I help them deal with this ancient corpse, they will help me continue our lineage. You know, our lineage isn't like your Shundao Hall, which has many methods of inheritance. If things continue like this, our lineage will truly be cut off."
I don't want to see this craft fail in my hands. Besides, I sense that things are about to change, and our corpse-driving lineage might even have a glorious future. If it were to die out, things would be very difficult. I don't want to let down my ancestors."
Zhang Tianle remained silent.
In the eyes of these elderly people, passing on traditions is more important than life itself. They are willing to give up their lives for the sake of passing on the traditions, but the traditions cannot be broken.
