Chapter 155: Inviting evil spirits to eat the soul of the strange snake
After thousands of souls had breathed their last, the soul of the eight-headed monster snake was already lying limply on the ground.
It had never known how painful it was to be beaten by a soul.
"Bah... you're pretending to be dead. We were in your belly for so long, and our souls didn't even turn to ashes. You just pretended to be weak because I beat you up. What's going on? Are you trying to trick us into softening up? Don't make me laugh to death."
A group of souls spat at the eight-headed monster snake, "We wish we could eat your flesh, drink your blood, and leave you dead without a burial place."
Zhou Jinyu said, "If you want to eat its soul, you can share it. Although it's a little dirty, it's still edible."
The souls turned to look at her, "Master, are you serious?"
"Really?"
Zhou Jinyu nodded: "It's not a snake from our country, and it's not under the jurisdiction of our underworld. If you eat it, it will not be counted in the cause and effect."
Besides, the eight-headed monster snake is just a snake. It is natural for humans to eat animals. Even if the underworld knows about it, they will just eat it.
When the souls heard her say this, they actually lowered their heads and pondered, whispering to each other from time to time.
"Master, we've discussed it. We won't eat its soul. We find it disgusting."
They said.
As the souls of the Flower Kingdom, they have no hobby of eating snake souls raw. At most, they will beat them up to vent their anger.
The eight-headed monster snake was originally worried about being eaten, but when it heard how much they despised it, it couldn't help getting angry. It raised its head and hissed at them, saying that they were too much. It was a snake god held by the master of Country B, and its status was very noble. Being eaten by them was a blessing they had earned in three lifetimes.
"You're such a brave snake! You've been beaten up, yet you still dare to spit at us! We'll beat you to death."
These souls already had deep resentment towards the eight-headed monster snake. Seeing that it dared to hiss at them even though it was wilted, they immediately became furious and started punching and kicking it again.
“Hiss…”
The eight-headed monster snake hissed in pain.
After venting their anger, the resentment of these souls completely disappeared.
"Master, thank you for saving us from the sea of suffering."
They floated in front of Zhou Jinyu and bowed to express their gratitude.
Zhou Jinyu waved her hand and told them to be polite.
"Master, what are you going to do with this strange snake?"
"If you don't eat it, I will summon evil spirits to eat it."
When the evil ghost finishes eating, the ghost catcher will come up and arrest him.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Zhou Jinyu pinched his fingers and chanted the summoning spell to summon the evil ghosts around him.
"Master, you summoned us?"
A few fat and big-eared evil ghosts floated over. Seeing that there were many ghosts floating behind Zhou Jinyu, they spoke respectfully.
Zhou Jinyu pointed at the eight-headed monster snake on the ground: "This snake has cultivated for thousands of years, and its body is quite nutritious. Do you want to eat it?"
Several evil spirits took a look at the eight-headed monster snake. Although they coveted its cultivation, its appearance...
"Master, are you really willing to give it to us to eat? What are the conditions?"
It was a bit ugly, but it was still edible if you endured it, so they asked Zhou Jinyu for the conditions.
After so many years of wandering in the world, they already know that there is no free lunch in the world.
Zhou Jinyu waved his hand: "No conditions, if you want to eat, then eat. If you don't, I will destroy you."
"So we really ate it?"
Several evil ghosts said.
Zhou Jinyu rolled his eyes at them and said nothing.
Just eat if you want to, why talk so much nonsense?
The evil spirits stopped wasting time and came to the eight-headed monster snake, commenting on it: "Snake demon, although you are a little ugly, considering your cultivation is quite good, we will eat you reluctantly."
After saying that, they floated to the eight-headed monster snake and started biting it.
They were used to devouring souls, so eating the snake demon's soul was easy for them. They simply pinned it down and started chewing on it while it was struggling.
As for its hissing screams, just think of it as a side dish to the meal.
The eight-headed monster snake was soon eaten up by them, and one or two of them even licked their fingers with satisfaction.
"Master, from now on..."
They walked towards Zhou Jinyu and were about to say that there would be such good supplements for them in the future, but when they saw the ghost messenger standing not far away, they were so scared that their faces changed drastically and they turned around and wanted to escape.
"stop."
The ghost chased after them, using the soul-binding rods to lock them up while they were trapped by the barrier, and then raised his hand to give them one each, "You are quite good at hiding, causing us to catch you in vain many times. If it weren't for Master Zhou this time, you would have escaped again."
These evil ghosts are habitual offenders of eating souls. They have eaten many souls that have just left the body after death, making it impossible for the ghost officers under them to capture the souls and report to their superiors. As a result, they were severely punished by the King of Hell.
"You stinky bitch, you deliberately lured us here to be captured by the ghost messenger, didn't you?"
Several evil spirits were beaten and glared at Zhou Jinyu angrily.
They should have firmly believed that there is no such thing as a free lunch, but they believed Zhou Jinyu's words that she had no conditions.
She is even more deceptive than a ghost.
"I tell you to speak without restraint."
The ghost messenger attacked and taught them a lesson, "Can you really scold the master?"
After being severely beaten by the ghost catcher, the evil ghosts all became well-behaved and dared not make any more noise.
"Master Zhou, thank you for finding them for us. Otherwise, we would have had to spend quite a bit of time capturing them."
The leading ghost walked up to Zhou Jinyu and said with a smile.
Zhou Jinyu said, "Brother Ghost Messenger, we are all friends. It would be awkward to be so polite."
"Okay, I won't say anymore."
The ghost waved his hand.
Zhou Jinyu pointed at the thousands of ghosts and said, "They are the souls that died in Country B. The underworld has remembered their souls. They should be able to be taken down to wait in line for reincarnation, right?"
"Master Zhou, souls like these who died in a foreign land should have been handed over to us by the underworld over there, but since they have already returned home, this procedure can be omitted."
The ghost replied, "You instructed me to do this. Later I will ask the King of Hell to give them a better life, so that they can live a peaceful and happy life in their next life."
Being able to live peacefully until old age is already a win for many people.
After all, there is no age difference when it comes to life and death.
Zhou Jinyu took out a few gold ingots and stuffed them into the ghost officer's arms, "Brother Ghost Officer, I'm leaving them in your care."
"Master Zhou, you caught these evil spirits for us, and I haven't even truly thanked you yet. How can I let you give me gold ingots?"
The ghost wanted to return the gold ingot, but Zhou Jinyu held him back, "Brother ghost, if you don't take it, I'll be embarrassed to ask you for it next time."
After hearing what she said, the ghost accepted the gold ingots.
"Master Zhou, I won't be polite then."
He put the gold ingots away and talked about the original owner's life down there. "By the way, your friend is doing pretty well down there. He's made a lot of friends recently. He was even taken to square dancing by the new aunts who went down there. He also learned to play mahjong from them. He plays a few rounds every day when he's free. He's not obsessed with it, just to pass the time."
Zhou Jinyu was a little surprised: "She even learned to play mahjong?"
No wonder he hadn't appeared in her dreams recently. It turned out that there was something to kill down there.
But it’s better this way, at least I can leave some good memories before reincarnation.
"Brother Ghost Messenger, give these gold ingots to her for me. Let her play to her heart's content and don't worry about losing money."
Zhou Jinyu gave the ghost messenger a few more gold ingots and said, "When I finish my work here, I'll find time to go down and play with her and try playing mahjong."
The ghost put the gold ingot away and joked, "Aren't you afraid that she will learn bad things?"
