Zhao Youliang's loud kowtow immediately attracted the attention of other worshippers.
If everyone hadn't been in the City God Temple at that moment, people would have thought Zhao Youliang was possessed by an evil spirit.
Sister-in-law Yingchun asked in a worried voice, "Liangzi, what's wrong?"
Zhao Youliang didn't answer; at that moment, he was only thinking that sincerity would bring results.
He was hoping that the mysterious voice would speak again and grant his request.
As expected, Zhao Youliang was not disappointed:
Just as he had kowtowed ninety-nine times in a row, until he was seeing stars and could barely keep his knees up, the same voice rang out again.
"Alright, kid, that's enough with the token."
“Logically speaking, I shouldn’t even help you; I should have just taken you in.”
"But since you're so sincere, Grandma will give you a few pointers."
"Zhao Youliang, you were originally a ghost child serving the Sixth King of Hell. Because you were playful and reincarnated on your own, you are now suffering endless torment."
"Remember this for the future: never go into a temple that enshrines the gods of the underworld! Other officials in the underworld are not as easy to talk to as I am."
"Once I see you, I'll definitely drag you back to the underworld for trial. You'll be in for a world of trouble then!"
At this point, the City Goddess's voice suddenly stopped, because she noticed the small knife in Zhao Youliang's arms.
The mysterious man, known as the Young General, gave Zhao Youliang a small wooden knife.
"You're quite lucky, kid, you actually know my little brat."
"In that case, Grandma takes back her last sentence: You can enter any temple that enshrines the gods of the underworld, as long as you don't get caught by the Sixth King of Hell himself."
"Not only can you enter freely, but if you encounter any difficulties, just hold up the little knife in your arms and talk to them, and all the Yin spirits should give you some face."
"Of course, except for Grandma, hehehe!"
At this point, the City Goddess paused for a moment before continuing.
"As for the mess in your town, don't bother asking me, I absolutely won't get involved!"
"Their ancestors must have been wicked; they brought this upon themselves!"
"Regarding the Yin Spirit Cart... that evil thing doesn't belong to our underworld; it's a separate entity, and it's not convenient for me to get involved."
"Regarding your father's illness, hurry up and go to the Bai family's ancestral land to find their patriarch, Bai Wuwei."
"Just say that Granny Ma Yi asked him to save people."
Because the City Goddess spoke so much and the amount of information was so great, Zhao Youliang simply couldn't "digest" it all in a short time.
He only remembered the last sentence for the time being, because it was such a pleasant surprise to him: his adoptive father's illness could be cured!
Overjoyed, Zhao Youliang kowtowed even more frantically, looking as if he might kowtow himself to death.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she cried and shouted, "Thank you, City Goddess! Thank you, City Goddess!"
"I will never forget my grandmother's great kindness!"
"From now on, on the first and fifteenth of every month... no, from now on, I will kowtow and offer incense to you every day!"
"I'll set up a memorial tablet for you when I get home!!"
The other worshippers were initially taken aback by Zhao Youliang's strange behavior, but then they all cast envious glances at him.
Because similar things have happened before, although very rarely.
This shows that the compassionate City Goddess granted the boy's request; the City Goddess has appeared to him!
After a brief silence, all the worshippers in the temple began to kowtow repeatedly.
The impact was absolutely earth-shattering!
It was at this moment that Sister Yingchun asked Zhao Youliang with a face full of surprise.
"Quantum, did the City God really appear? Did she really grant your request?!"
Zhao Youliang nodded excitedly, crying as he did so, "Mmm!"
"Grandma has mercy! Grandma has appeared to us!"
"Grandma has promised to find someone to cure my dad's illness!!"
"Ah! That's wonderful!!" Sister Yingchun knew that this was Zhao Youliang's greatest wish, so she was naturally happy for him.
"Quantum, you must remember the kindness that the City Goddess has shown you, and never forget it!"
"I know, I know!!" Zhao Youliang nodded while crying as he slowly left the City God Temple.
Upon reaching the door, he kowtowed three more times, until his head was bleeding, before turning and leaving.
Back in the car, all three of them sighed with regret.
I marvel at how compassionate the City Goddess is; she's far better than other deities who only know how to enjoy incense offerings and don't know how to "do any work"!
Once he had completely calmed down, Zhao Youliang began to recall the words of the City God's grandmother.
I really was a child attendant, and even a child attendant of the Sixth Court of Yama!
The Sixth Court of Hell... Zhao Youliang pondered as he took out his phone to search on Baidu.
Of course, he was reluctant to use his own data to ride on the coattails of driver Xiao Li's trending topic...
King Biancheng, the Sixth King of Hell, is one of the Ten Kings of Hell. He is in charge of the Great Hell and the City of the Unjustly Dead. His birthday is the eighth day of the third lunar month.
The previous incarnation of King Biancheng was Bi Yuanbin, the General Who Pacifies the Distant Regions during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Bi Yuanbin was a righteous man from a young age and was highly skilled in martial arts. He served as a regular general in the Liu Song dynasty of the Southern Dynasties.
Later, he followed his father to Wei, where he was granted the title of Marquis of Xuchang and was further appointed as General Who Pacifies the South and Governor of Yanzhou.
After Bi Yuanbin's death, he was bestowed the title of "King Biancheng, the Sixth King of Hell" by the Jade Emperor.
Those who are disobedient, unfilial, or resentful of Heaven and Earth are sent to this prison, where they are torn apart, beaten with awls, and burned by demons. After serving their sentences, they are sent to the Seventh Court.
Let me explain here:
Because Zhao Youliang was a ghost attendant of the Sixth King of Hell, whose secular surname was Bi, a traditional Chinese character "Bi" appeared on the table when Zhao Youliang asked about the rice.
It was simply wiped away by Wang Youcai, who arrived just in time.
(For details, please refer to the second half of Chapter 0025 of this book: Asking the Gods.)
Having finally figured out why he was born with the fate of a "Five Ghosts Child," Zhao Youliang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
So that's how it is... But even if I'm a child prodigy, why am I still a child prodigy without offspring?
Could it be because he was secretly reincarnated?!
And what is the identity of that seemingly dim-witted man known as the Young General, and how does it seem like the whole world knows him?
To be precise, all the ghosts in the world know him.
Not only did they know him, but they all seemed quite afraid of him, except for the City God's Granny from earlier...
Zhao Youliang, who was pondering, was suddenly interrupted by Yingchun's question.
"Quantum, did the City Goddess mention the paper-making shop?"
"You...you didn't get killed by that evil shop, did you?"
To avoid worrying Yingchun's sister-in-law, Zhao Youliang told a white lie.
"Don't worry, sister. The City God said she will protect me."
"She just doesn't want to get involved in the town's affairs, saying that their ancestors were wicked and deserved to die."
"Oh, by the way, Li Mao, you're a local, do you know what bad things your ancestors did?"
"So much so that even the compassionate City Goddess was angered like this!"
