That night, everything was quiet.
During this period, Wang Yulang followed the night patrol and strolled around in the Yin-Yang Road. From being terrified in the beginning to being familiar with it now, the little guy adapted very quickly.
But when the little guy came back from his day off, he looked pale and smelled bad.
"Don't wait to boil water to wash off the smell on you. Go hang on a tree for a night to get rid of it."
Ye You pinched his nose, looking disgusted.
Xiao Yulang wanted to cry.
"I'm back. What's happening... Ugh..." Situ Jing came over with a lantern. When he saw the master and the disciple, he almost died from the smoke before he could finish his words.
Ye You had a bad look on his face, pointing at Xiao Yulang with red eyes and said, "I met two unlucky guys. This kid was clumsy and bumped into the dirt on them."
Situ Jing also pinched his nose, "How dirty is this?"
"One fell into the toilet and drowned, and the other one..." Yeyou laughed: "He wanted to escape, so I hit him with my intestines, and he didn't dodge."
"Master..." Xiao Yulang looked resentful.
Ye You waved his hand: "Hurry up and find a branch to hang yourself up, or you will wake up your aunt with your stench, or you will be beaten."
Xiao Yulang angrily found a place to hang himself on a tree in the southeast.
Situ Jing gave the child a loving look. While other children of his age were reading the Four Books and Five Classics, Wang Yulang was selling himself directly to the underworld, going to the underworld to pay off his debts, and dealing with all kinds of ghosts every day.
This is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Ye You noticed his gaze and said with a smile, "Envy?"
Situ Jing shook his head and immediately moved away from the old ghost, "Mr. Ye, you have worked hard, I will not disturb your rest."
In the palace, many people are afraid of walking at night, Situ Jing is the worst of them, after all, he almost died because of bad luck.
Ye You snorted, his eyes wandering over him. He rarely saw Situ Jing in recent times and knew that this quack doctor was deliberately avoiding him.
"I promised to do something for you. Do you want me to do something for you?"
Situ shook the camera like a rattle, with a fake smile on his face: "There is no need for Mr. Ye to work for the time being."
Ye You curled his lips and said, "Okay."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Situ Jing thought of something else: "Mr. Ye."
"Anything else?"
Situ Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "I would like to ask you a question, have you ever seen the late Crown Prince down there?"
Ye You knew what he wanted to ask and shook his head: "No."
Situ Jing pursed his lips and said, "There was something strange about the death of the former crown prince. If we could find his soul and ask him the truth..."
"Is this what you want me to do for you?" Ye You raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "You are loyal to the prince's brother-in-law."
"I am his subordinate and also his friend." Situ Jing sighed: "If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago."
Ye You nodded: "I can't help you with this one, please change it."
"Is there any violation of the rules?"
Situ Jing once privately mentioned the matter of finding the soul of the late prince to Xiao Chenyan, but Xiao Chenyan shook his head and denied it.
Situ Jing was very puzzled about this.
This is the simplest and most effective way.
"It's not a bad rule, the problem is, I can't find it." Ye You shrugged, met Situ Jing's surprised gaze, and laughed:
"If we could find it, my dead cousin would have called your soul back for you long ago."
"You are also half a Taoist, you should know that after death, the soul has only two destinations: either return to the underworld, or wander in the human world."
"But the soul of the late prince is missing. Even the people in the underworld don't know where he is."
As Ye You spoke, his eyes moved slightly, and he stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "There is another secret, do you want to know?"
Situ Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Ye You smiled and said quietly, "Not only is the soul of the late crown prince missing, but the souls of those who died in the Eastern Palace have also disappeared. In addition... the souls of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion and the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in that war are also missing."
"Not only do you people in the mortal world not know the reason for this incident, but even the Book of Life and Death does not record it at all. No one, not even ghosts, knows what happened back then."
Situ Jing's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Ye You in surprise:
"The reason why the princess and you stayed in the human world is to investigate this matter?"
"I guess so." Ye You shrugged.
"Didn't the princess tell the prince about this?"
"I think she should have hinted at something, but she couldn't say it."
"Why?" Situ Jing was puzzled. He became more and more curious about the princess's identity in the underworld.
Ye You narrowed his eyes and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face. He said lightly: "She has too many shackles on her body. Some words spoken from her mouth will cause great repercussions."
"and you……"
"I'm different." Yeyou said with a playful smile: "I don't have the ability of my cousin. Besides, I'm not afraid of itching when I have too many lice."
"But little quack, I have to remind you now." His eyes widened a little. Situ Jing saw his unusually dark pupils and shuddered for no reason.
"Mr. Ye, please speak."
"There are more and more evil spirits these days. I'm afraid the world is going to change."
Ye You said calmly, "The underworld cannot interfere with the order of the living world. There are some things that even if your princess and I know clearly, we cannot interfere too much."
"There is a saying in Taoism: Enter the mountains in prosperous times and emerge in troubled times. Now that you have entered this sect, there are some things you cannot avoid."
Situ Jing's expression gradually became serious.
Ye You waved his hand lazily and said, "Some of the methods of your sect can be learned by ordinary people. If you don't want to learn, it's okay to teach others."
"I see that the black-armored guards under my brother-in-law are full of murderous aura. They are all good talents. Don't waste them."
After talking about Yeyou, he was about to leave.
Situ Jing looked at his back and suddenly said, "Mr. Ye, I once heard from my master that in the underworld, you are in charge of night security. But there is another gentleman who can go out during the day, maintain order during the day, and protect the safety of the living."
"And that gentleman?"
Ye You curled his lips and said, "He..."
"You're too nosy, and now you're getting your comeuppance." There was a hint of sarcasm in Ye You's voice, but he didn't know who he was mocking.
"Even ghosts and gods, with great powers, are bound by shackles and constraints, and there are things they cannot get. There is nothing they can do."
In the wind, the voices of ghosts and gods are cold and deep.
"The underworld and the human world are actually no different."
"Ghosts are just more pathetic than humans."
Inside the house in Moshiyuan.
Qing Wu turned over and scratched her ears. Without opening her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she muttered in a dreamy voice:
"What nonsense..."
Only the Judge Pen had a bad feeling and cried out, "What nonsense are you talking about? You naughty boy, are you hiding a little secret from me?"
Qing Wu ignored the nonsense pen.
She didn't discuss it with Ye You, and how could it be considered that Ye You leaked the news to Xiao Chenyan and the others, so he was keeping it a secret?
