Chapter 116
The ghost was dumbfounded, his chain swinging slowing down a few seconds. This was the first person in thousands of years who dared to enter Hades' Hall. He was incredibly bold. He shouted, "What are you doing! Drag him down! Oh, no, that's not right! Tell me the truth, how did you get in here?"
"I brought her in!" Grandma Zhu walked up the stairs briskly, leaning on a crutch. When she got to the back, she threw away the crutch that was in the way, her eyes flashing with ill intent.
Lou Sheng hadn't expected to see this master again. He used a little force to support the limp Gao Xinhua. Their eyes met, and he saw Grandma Zhu sizing him up, her cloudy eyes motionless in thought.
Then, Grandma Zhu nodded with satisfaction.
Lou Sheng was a little confused and forced a smile: "Thank you for helping my mother and bringing her in. If possible, can you take her back... Thank you very much."
Grandma Zhu stopped, glanced at Lou Sheng's face with a squinting eye, and nodded slightly: "The marriage is consummated."
Lou Sheng choked, too embarrassed to know what to say. Why did the old man always care about this matter? He didn't understand subtlety at all.
Then he saw Grandma Zhu, who had stood tall and straight with a stern attitude and looked down upon everyone, slumped to her knees and said in panic, "I helped her get in, but she was the one who threatened me into breaking into Hades' Palace. God, if you want to blame someone, blame this crazy woman. It has nothing to do with me. I was forced to do it."
He spoke very standard Mandarin, which completely subverted his image and shocked Lou Sheng greatly.
The ghost held an iron chain, rattling loudly, and said to Gao Xinhua viciously, "Get out of here now! You're in the way. Believe it or not, I'll beat you and send you to hell to accompany your son!"
Lou Sheng leaned over to block Gao Xinhua, but Gao Xinhua held onto his sleeve tightly, his grip on it so strong that if the chain came off, both of them would be in trouble.
The ghost officer glanced at the pitiful mother and son, then leaned over to the almighty god in front of him and said, "Sir, should the sentence pronounced on Lou Sheng continue to be carried out? Or should I drive this crazy woman away first?"
My heartstrings tightened, my heart leaped into my throat. After a long, long time, I finally heard the words: "Yes."
Gao Xinhua glared at them warily and fiercely, his teeth chattering as if he was about to pounce and bite. The ghost messenger swung his chain at the woman to scare her, but Gao Xinhua was not one to be frightened easily. She stood firm, determined and desperate, and the hatred in her eyes was astonishing.
"Mom." Lou Sheng called her and whispered, "I can accept this result..."
"But I don't accept it!"
"Mom, I really, really don't want to get involved with you. You are the most important person in my life..."
"Shut up! Lou Sheng, you are not allowed to speak!"
Gao Xinhua was fierce and arbitrary, and he couldn't stop trembling. His eyes were a little rolled up due to excessive excitement.
At this time, Grandma Zhu spoke again. Slowly and leisurely, as if the sky was falling, she said, "Sir, the ghost messenger, you are not doing things according to the rules."
The ghost officer first glanced cautiously at the high position in front of him, and then he was furious. "What's wrong with the rules? Tell me!"
"This child has amazing merits."
"I only see heinous crimes in him!"
Grandma Zhu muttered softly, calling the ghost messenger a rotten bastard. Then she continued in a gentle voice, "Can't we test it? Just by measuring it, we can tell at a glance whether he has boundless merits or heinous sins."
The ghost officer frowned, feeling annoyed. "It's obvious. Lou Sheng killed his own uncle, committed suicide, and hid himself to avoid the judgment of the underworld! There's no need to verify it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it..."
--"Can."
A distant and shocking voice came from above, and the ghost immediately stopped talking.
Lou Sheng's face was grave, and he was filled with anxiety. No one knew his life better than he did. While he had performed some small acts of kindness, they were nothing to offset the sins of killing someone. He gently patted Gao Xinhua's back to comfort her. Gao Xinhua, holding back tears, said it was okay.
It's fine.
It'll be fine.
The ghost's mouth drooped in obvious dissatisfaction, but he still followed the procedure and dragged a gigantic, green-faced, fang-like bronze vessel towards him. The ghost had already been enormous when it transformed, and his face flushed red as he struggled to drag the bronze vessel, his teeth bared. Every step he took was earth-shaking, and he could crush Lou Sheng and others to death with a single kick.
You have to look up, you can't see the end, you can't see the whole picture.
The bronze vessel was a bizarre monster with a tiger head and a single-horned dragon god. It looked neither dog nor tiger, nor dragon, with its long tail curled up beside its paws. Its expression was vivid, as if it would pounce on its prey at any moment.
The ghost ordered Lou Sheng, "Touch the tail, hold the tail and don't let go."
Lou Sheng understood what she meant and gave Gao Xinhua a soothing smile. He also met Grandma Zhu's gaze. He stepped forward and opened his palm. Just as he was about to touch, his hand paused slightly, his fingertips retreating imperceptibly, and then he grabbed directly.
His life and his sins will be exposed to everyone.
His end is about to be fixed and cannot be changed.
Behind him is his hopeful mother, and in the distance there are silent and painful people waiting for him.
It was as if electricity had been supplied to the creature, and its two large eyes suddenly lit up. They were so bright that at first glance it was hard to tell if they were light bulbs.
The ghost tutted impatiently, then quickly put his impatience away. He was just fanning himself, exhausted from dragging this thing over here.
Soon, those two large eyes shone with golden light. The ghost was stunned and hurriedly took a few steps forward, looking closely at the result in disbelief.
The bronze vessel winked at the ghost.
"Fuck." The ghost messenger couldn't believe it. "What the hell? I've seen all of Lou Sheng's memories before his death. How could he have such great merits?"
Grandma Zhu chuckled.
The gods above saw everything, knowing the past and the future. Yet, they chose to acquiesce, turning a blind eye and uttering those two heart-stirring words:
"Not guilty."
Acquitted.
The hall was silent for a moment, as if it was frozen.
Lou Sheng was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
Gao Xinhua suddenly screamed, and was so ecstatic that he couldn't stop crying, and rushed over to hug his child.
Lou Sheng hugged her, wiped her tears, and wiped away the lipstick and tear marks on her face. He felt guilty and speechless.
The ghost messenger curled his lips, then put on a fake smile as he led the three ghosts out of the gloomy and severe Hades Palace. Anyone could see that there was something wrong with this merit, but since the higher-ups had tacitly approved, there was no point in him complaining.
Lou Sheng quietly asked Grandma Zhu, "Is that you?"
Grandma Zhu glanced at him and said, "How is that possible? I am now a highly respected ghost grandma in the ghost world. I am crazy and I am giving you my things."
"Then, where does my merit come from?" Lou Sheng couldn't figure it out and pursed his lips in confusion.
Grandma Zhu thought for a moment and revealed to him, "Someone you wouldn't expect."
"By the way, grandma, Ying Zhisheng doesn't have much time left to live. Is there any way to help him?" Lou Sheng thought of what the ghost messenger said a few months ago, and his heart became heavy and he looked worried.
Grandma Zhu gave him the direction directly, pointing to the ghost messenger: "Go ask him, he will tell you."
This ghost messenger was not someone to be trifled with. He was overbearing and had a bad temper. He would often swing his thick, hard iron chain and whip people at will. After hearing Lou Sheng's words, he was already dissatisfied and snorted coldly, "Impossible! Just wait to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received the news that Lou Sheng was promoted to ghost catcher.
“???”
Grandma Zhu and Gao Xinhua explained: "Lou Sheng's merits and virtues should have a small deity."
I just don’t know where these merits come from and who is so generous.
…
Ying Zhisheng sat on the sofa, too exhausted to stand. The floor was littered with debris, a chaotic scene. A fallen fruit knife lay beside him, and the blood on his hand had already scabbed over.
Waiting is the most painful thing.
Ying Zhisheng felt tinnitus and experienced the whole process of the heart pumping blood like a water pump. The gurgling sound and the thumping sound also caused pain in the tendons of the Taiyang Xue.
Suddenly, he felt a heavy sensation on his back, and Lou Sheng excitedly shouted, "Ying Zhisheng! I'm back!"
“…”
Ying Zhisheng trembled violently, clenching his fist as the wound on his hand began to bleed again. He didn't look back, believing it was an illusion. During this brief period, he experienced these hallucinations frequently, tormenting him repeatedly.
