Chapter 112 Finale 2
◎You took the thunder for me, just to fake your death and have fun in the mortal world? ◎
Mingyue no longer has to work hard to make people believe in him.
Butler Wu, who was blocking the door at the Zhou residence, was grabbed by the collar by Bai Chen, dragged in front of the Zhou family's master and mistress, and thrown heavily.
Mingyue stretched out two fingers and pointed them in front of the Zhou couple and housekeeper Wu, and the three of them saw her eldest son Zhou Lin following behind her.
The Zhou family master's angry scolding and intimidation were immediately extinguished. After Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she shouted "Son" and rushed over, wanting to hug her precious son whom she had not seen for a long time.
After passing through Zhou Lin's empty body, he realized that his son had already died and this was his son's soul.
Mr. Zhou's eyes turned red, and Mrs. Zhou cried her heart out. Only Butler Wu collapsed on the ground, shaking like a sieve.
The truth of the matter is simple.
Wu Zhong was just a servant of the Zhou family at that time. Because he knew some martial arts, he was favored and allowed to serve Zhou Lin. He was even fortunate enough to follow Zhou Lin to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
This was supposed to be a good job.
If Zhou Lin passes the imperial examination, he will surely receive a generous reward from his master and his mistress, and as a "hero" who accompanies Zhou Lin to take the exam, he will surely be valued by the Zhou family in the future. Even if Zhou Lin didn't pass the exam, he could still get some hard work pay. Although he had to travel a long way, he also gained some experience, so it wasn't a loss at all.
But he never expected that Zhou Lin, a scholar, was so weak. Maybe it was because he was tired from traveling or because of the unfamiliar climate and water, but he died of an illness!
Not to mention the reward, I'm afraid I'll be severely punished.
He originally wanted to run away, but his indenture was still in the hands of the Zhou family. If he ran away, he would have no way of explaining himself and might even be suspected of stealing money and harming his master.
There was no choice but for Wu Zhong to go back.
Logically, as a family servant, he should send his master's body back home for a proper burial no matter what accident happened to his master.
But he felt unbalanced.
Zhou Lin himself is not in good health, so why should he cause him to be punished?
So he sold all the valuable things on Zhou Lin's body and hid the money. He originally wanted to burn Zhou Lin's body and take only the ashes back, but in the end he couldn't do such a heartless thing, so he buried Zhou Lin, bought some pig bones that were similar to human bones, smashed them and burned them, and took them home.
He was terrified all the way, couldn't eat or sleep well, and his conscience was condemning him. When he arrived near Linjiang City, he deliberately made himself look dusty before he dared to enter.
The master and his wife were heartbroken when they learned that their son had passed away. They also heard from him that he had spent all his money on the young master's treatment and had no choice but to carry the young master all the way back. Because he was too tired, he was resting in a dilapidated wooden house and it caught fire, and only these ashes were left of the young master's body.
At that time, Wu Zhong was extremely thin and looked miserable. The master and his wife were immersed in grief, so how could they blame such a "loyal servant"?
Mr. Zhou was cautious enough. He sent people to inquire at the place Wu Zhong mentioned. He also took the prescription he brought back to several clinics and confirmed that Zhou Lin was indeed seriously ill and could not be cured.
At this point, Wu Zhong, who "traveled thousands of miles on foot and carried his master's body back home without a penny," became a model of "loyalty and righteousness" in the Zhou family. Not only did he receive a reward, but he also successfully took over the position of Zhou Mansion's steward when the previous steward stepped down.
Over the years, Wu Zhong has been diligent and dedicated to the Zhou family, and has won the trust of the master and his mistress.
However, no one knows that Butler Wu's dedication is mostly due to guilt.
"Master, I know I was wrong! Please spare my life, Master and Madam!"
"I have thought about this countless times. If I had known that the master and his wife would not blame me, I would have brought the eldest young master back intact even if my legs became bald!"
"My Lord, I am sorry..."
Wu Zhong was crying and kowtowed to Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou continuously, then to Zhou Lin, until his forehead bled.
Master Zhou ordered his men to drag Wu Zhong away, and choked up as he said to Zhou Lin, "Son, you've suffered..."
His parents were in tears, but Zhou Lin felt a little strange.
He has been a lonely soul for a long time and has experienced a lot with Mingyue. He knows that there are fairies, gods, and all kinds of monsters in this world. When he first became a ghost, he complained about the unfairness of God, forcing him to study hard for more than ten years, but suddenly died at this critical moment.
After learning some things about the underworld, he realized that this was his destiny and fate.
Now that he has met the King of Hell on Mount Tai and understood the responsibilities of the underworld and the six realms of reincarnation, he feels that he is no longer "Zhou Lin". Even if Mingyue didn't send him home, his obsession with "returning to one's roots" was resolved.
After all, compared to gods, immortals, and demons, Zhou Lin's life is actually very short, so short that it is not worth mentioning.
Things from his previous life were already a thing of the past for him.
He was just a little nervous, not knowing what kind of life he would face.
Mr. Zhou originally wanted to ask a Taoist priest to hold a ceremony to bury Zhou Lin's body in a grand manner.
Mingyue said that it was not necessary, Zhou Lin had already broken his obsession, and his soul would soon return to the underworld and enter reincarnation again. This body is just a thought for the living and has nothing to do with him anymore.
After seeing her abilities, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were sad but also very convinced.
So, at Mingyue's suggestion, Master Zhou took his servants and Zhou Lin's brothers and sisters, rushed to the ancestral tomb at night, dug up the coffin, and reburied Zhou Lin's body.
Before the three incense sticks had finished burning, the King of Hell of Mount Tai arrived in person with his purple-robed messenger.
Bai Chen frowned in dissatisfaction. He came to urge me just two days after returning?
However, the King of Hell of Mount Tai bowed and saluted. The word "God" came out of his mouth and he swallowed it back, looking a little at a loss.
Mingyue smiled calmly, "You, Lord Yan of Mount Tai, can call me Lord Mingyue, or you can call me Master Yue Tianshi like the common people."
"Yes, Lord God." Taishan responded respectfully.
Bai Chen was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Tai Shan asked in surprise, "You don't know?"
Bai Chen looked at Mingyue: "What should I know?"
Zhou Lin also asked: "What happened?"
Mingyue shrugged and said, "The previous incident was caused by my negligence. Now I have been stripped of my position as a god and have stepped down from my position as the God of the Underworld."
"God... God," Taishan was still not used to changing his words, so he corrected himself and said, "God is taking the punishment for the Lords of the Underworld. This is definitely not God's responsibility! God's merits will be passed down through the ages, and the sun and the moon can testify to that! They are punishing you so severely for such a small mistake, Taishan refuses to accept it!"
Mingyue smiled and consoled him: "The Heavenly Court has only stripped me of my position as a god, not my godhood. They have been very lenient. Don't act like this any more. You're violating the tolerance and rules of the underworld."
Bai Chen understood, "How could the gods in heaven be so unreasonable? I'm going to argue with them!"
He jumped up in anger, but before he could fly two meters he was pressed down by a huge force.
"What does it have to do with you? Stop messing around!" Mingyue scolded, and then put a soul-hook lock on him and held the other end of the rope in his hand.
Bai Chen was unable to break free and was so angry that he jumped up and down on the spot: "The old baboon is my man. I will bear all the responsibility for the evil that the father and son have done!"
Mingyue asked back: "So you want me to continue to be the God of the Underworld, and never come to the mortal world to eat, drink and hang out, and never meet you and everyone else again?"
Bai Chen immediately became honest: "Well, it's better not to do it."
He paused, and then said in a comforting tone, "I don't care about that bullshit godhood! I'll give you the position of Demon Lord. From now on, you will be the Demon King. You don't have to do anything. You can eat and drink all day long. Who dares to control you?!"
Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked back: "Give me the position of the demon king, what about you?"
Bai Chen was not ashamed anymore, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Anyway, I can't beat you, so I will be your protector in the future. Anyone who wants to challenge you must get past me first!"
Taishan Yanjun laughed out loud and said to Mingyue, "Your Majesty is right, this white-haired wolf demon is really interesting. This is the first time I think he is quite cute!"
Zhou Lin and Taishan Yanjun bid farewell to Mingyue together. He had already turned around, but he still couldn't help but look back and ask: "Will we meet again?"
Mingyue smiled softly: "Plants, trees, birds and beasts also meet each other."
Zhou Lin followed the Lord of Hell in a daze, and suddenly heard the person in front of him ask, "Have you decided what to do?"
He came back to his senses from his trance and looked at the Lord of Hell on Mount Tai who was asking him the question: "Lord of Hell, what do you mean by that? Do you mean I can choose for myself?"
Taishan Yanjun smiled and said, "Otherwise, why would I come to pick you up in person? You silly boy, you have met my family and the God by chance, which is a great fortune. The God thinks you are a decent person with a pure heart. I hope you can live a long and happy life and do what you want to do."
Zhou Lin finally relaxed his brows and said, "I've figured out what I want to do."
The Lord of Hell at Mount Tai patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "This is a blessing from God. Don't waste it! Think about it carefully. Don't be in a hurry."
Zhou Lin smiled calmly: "Lord Yan, I think very clearly."
On the other side, Bai Chen, no longer restrained by the Soul-Catching Chain, kept circling around Mingyue.
"Do you often talk about me to others?"
"So when did you find me interesting?"
"Have you fallen in love with me for a long time? Otherwise, why would you risk your life to save me!"
Mingyue was getting impatient with the question, so he simply said frankly: "The reason I saved you was purely because I was too bored in the underworld, so I took advantage of your lightning tribulation and took this opportunity to sneak away to the mortal world to relax!"
Bai Chen's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "You mean, you took the thunder tribulation for me just to fake your death and have fun in the mortal world???"
The world that Bai Chen had been imagining in his mind turned upside down and collapsed completely at this moment!
"You're just using me?!"
His face was filled with the pain of being deceived, and he questioned Mingyue heartbreakingly: "Then what is the point of my guilt and self-blame for so long, and my tolerance towards you, the Underworld?!"
Mingyue suddenly felt guilty and said vaguely: "You have a good memory! Forget about this kind of trivial matter quickly. Your brain capacity is not big..."
Bai Chen jumped up and down like crazy: "Explain it to me clearly! What am I to you!!!"
Mingyue quickened her pace, but could not shake off Baichen's persistent questioning. Finally, she said angrily, "Don't keep asking me questions. I've been very good to you! Why are you so ungrateful?"
"Have I ever stabbed you with a knife in these thousand years? I always beat you with a stick!"
"Although you used to be rash and impatient, and had a stubborn and stubborn temper, you were also sensible and reasonable. How did you become like this now?"
Chu Zhi was getting ready to go to bed and was carrying out some water for washing feet when she saw Bai Chen, with a furious look on his face, rushing into Qi Zhaoyang's room like a cannonball and slamming the door.
"What happened?" Chu Zhi asked.
Mingyue said: "Fighting."
Chu Zhi asked again: "Did you win the argument?"
Seeing Mingyue nod, Chuzhi smiled with satisfaction and went back into the house: "Sweet dreams, Boss!"
Bai Chen peeked through the crack in the door and saw Mingyue actually carrying the little white wolf back into the house, closing the door, turning off the lights and going to sleep. He became even more angry!
"She doesn't like me at all! She just likes the little white wolf!"
