"Ox, how much more do you have?"
"A little. Horse, are we really not going to the Duxian Gate to try?"
On the cliff outside Fengdu City, two figures lay crookedly on the rock. Their eyes gradually lost their light, allowing the wind of the Netherworld to blow at the soft mane on their heads.
Horse-face sighed weakly. "Hey, hey, hey … The Grand Magus did not allow us to stroll around the Immortal Sect of Ren School.
The Grand Magus did not allow us to wander around the Immortal Sect of Ren School. He also said that we should not trouble the Water God for nothing.
Neigh ~
The Water God is busy every day. We don't have a suitable reason. How can we go and look for him? "
Ox-head picked up the clay jar at the side and looked inside carefully for a while. Then, he sniffed it …
The intoxicating smell was already so faint.
The two of them had delicious spiritual beasts that they had captured from the mortal world in front of them, but they had no intention of lighting a fire.
"Awesome. For us shamans, once we've tasted something stronger, it's really impossible for us to feel aggrieved anymore."
"Horse, why don't we help the Water God check and see if those Magihumans are slacking off?"
"I'm afraid we won't even be able to see the Water God." Horse-face combed his dim mane. "Why don't we see which Qi Refinement cultivator at the Duxian Gate is about to run out of lifespan? Let's go over and do something serious. Hook a soul?
Then, we can visit the creator of these seasonings, the disciple of the Duxian Gate, Master Li Changshou! "
"Then let's wait. We might have to wait for a few hundred years before an immortal dies of old age!
However, speaking of which … "
Ox-head sat up and faced the sky. He muttered softly, "Do you feel that the disciple of the Duxian Gate, Li Changshou, always has a similar smell to the Water God when he appears a few times?"
Horse-face rested his hands on his head. "What smell?"
Ox-head pinched his chin and muttered, "I can't tell. Moo … Anyway, it's not human. It's a little similar."
"It's not human?" Horse-face was puzzled. "What else can it be?
The Dao of the disciple of the Duxian Gate, Li Changshou, is similar to the Dao of the Water God, but it is definitely different.
Although we are witches, we have to be intelligent and capable. We can't just rely on our instincts, Jue 'er. "
Ox-head scratched his horns and nodded in agreement.
"Instincts and whatnot, it's really not very reliable …
Hiss — "
"Why are you inhaling cold air?"
Horse-face stretched out his long, muscular legs as he remarked leisurely, "You're about to absorb the heat of Hell, Horse Face!"
"Ma, look over there. Isn't that Li Changshou from the Duxian Gate?
Grandmaster! Moo ~ "
"Hmm? It really was this master!
Let the brothers prepare to receive the Water God's treatment! There's hope for our seasoning! "
Thus, after a while …
Li Changshou brought Youqin Genya to the eastern gate of Necropolis. He couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead and was a little reluctant to move forward.
Youqin Genya tilted her head curiously. Although she had seen many Qi Refinement cultivators along the way and Li Changshou had told her in advance that the messengers of the Netherworld were actually very "cute", this situation …
Hundreds of messengers of the Netherworld split into two groups. All of them raised their flags high. A few gentle female cultivators scattered pale white petals by the side. The sound of gongs and drums could be heard continuously.
Ox-head and Horse-face stood straight on both sides. Their large eyes, which were separated by their headgear, emitted a strange light!
When Li Changshou rode a cloud forward again and flew more than 100 feet, he heard two soft swoosh sounds. Ox-head and Horse-face left behind a few afterimages and appeared in front of Li Changshou and Youqin Genya.
Their speed was so fast that Youqin Genya, who was in the Perfected Immortal realm, could not react in time …
When she returned to her senses, she turned to the side and saw the two Soul-Reaping Envoys of the Netherworld, who were famous in the Primordial World, standing in front of Senior Brother Changshou.
The Soul-Reaping Envoy with a horse's head was combing his soft mane with a stone comb. The other Soul-Reaping Envoy was hugging his arms. The two of them bared their white teeth at the same time and began …
A sinister smile.
Clang!
The Fire Scale Sword Case was unsheathed a few inches, but Li Changshou pressed it back in time.
Ox-head asked, "My little friend Changshou, why are you free to come to the Netherworld? Moo ~ "
"I want to ask for a small favor." Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He took out two treasure pouches from his sleeve respectfully and handed them to the two Magi.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Please accept it."
Excited hearts! Trembling hands!
Ox-head and Horse-face almost cried. They slowly took the treasure pouch and opened it to take a look. They were immediately touched.
"Master! Oh no, Fellow Daoist, the Netherworld really needs a talent like you. Moo ~ "
"No matter what it is, we will definitely help you! Neigh! "
"It's like this." Li Changshou took out two Soul-Bewitching Pearls. "Please take a look."
Ox-head and Horse-face instantly became serious. They put away the condiments and frowned.
"Negative karma? Such a strong negative karma and such a weak soul … "
Ox-head muttered, "Is this the ruler of the human race in the South Continent?"
"That's right." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Is there a way?"
"There's indeed no way," Horse-face said seriously. "Such negative karma cannot be easily ignored. It is also something that cannot be offset by merit. We can only throw him into the eighteen levels of hell and eliminate the negative karma through suffering. Only then can he continue to reincarnate.
Otherwise, he can only let his soul shatter and let his True Spirit reincarnate. He will completely sever his connection with his previous life. "
As he spoke, Horse-face took out the treasure pouch that he had just put away and prepared to send it back to Li Changshou …
"Ah!"
Ox-head waved his hand and blocked Horse-face's treasure pouch. He smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that there's no way. It's just that it's very troublesome …"
Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He took out two more treasure pouches and handed them to the two Soul-Reaping Envoys of Hell.
"Then I'll have to trouble the two of you."
"I can't do that. Ah! I can't do that. Look at this … It's alright, it's alright. "
Ox-head held the treasure pouch in his hand and stuffed Horse-face's share into Horse-face's arms.
Then, he said seriously, "However, there is one thing. The pain of the eighteen levels of hell is unavoidable. Otherwise, the order of the world would probably be in chaos.
We can only help and let him suffer less. Later, we will arrange for him to be sent to the corner of the hell that he will be sent to.
Fellow Daoist, look, is that okay? "
Li Changshou looked at Youqin Genya and realized that Youqin Genya was frowning and deep in thought.
She was a little resistant to such matters, but she did not stand up and put her family before them.
The toxicity of the poison has really weakened!?!
Li Changshou was inexplicably touched. He sent a voice transmission and said, "Junior Sister Youqin, let me deal with this matter. Don't say anything else."
"Yes." Youqin Genya nodded and agreed.
Li Changshou took half a step forward and muttered to Ox-head and Horse-face. He took the opportunity to ask about the details of the eighteen levels of hell and also understood why they did not dare to accept the job.
The kings of the mortal kingdoms relied on longevity pills to live for hundreds of years.
When they died, they would often find one or two trusted Qi Refinement cultivators to bring their souls to the Netherworld to see if they could arrange for their next life.
However, once it involved the "emperors" of the human world, the Netherworld would change its usual politeness and discussion and reject them sternly and firmly.
Ox-head explained,
"There was such a thing a few years ago. In the end, it attracted the Heavenly Punishment. The bribed messenger of death and the judge who wrote the judgment were smashed into pieces. Not a single True Spirit was left.
The rulers of these countries in the mortal world all have remnant luck on them. They extended their lifespans without permission, which was equivalent to going against the Heavenly Dao …
Therefore, they can only throw him into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
However, it's still possible to suffer less. That's within the scope of the Heavenly Dao. "
Li Changshou nodded slowly and asked Youqin Genya, "Junior Sister, what do you think?"
"It's already very difficult for the Lords of the Netherworld." Youqin Genya cupped her fists and bowed. "Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you, Lord Envoys."
"There's no need to be so polite, Nether!"
Li Changshou looked at Ox-head and Horse-face and said, "Although we're sending him to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, can you be more tolerant and let the two of us watch from the side?
It can be considered as letting my junior sister send her father on his way. She can use this to completely sever her ties with the mortal world and show her filial piety. "
"Of course," Ox-head agreed and said uneasily, "However, we can only help you this much. We have taken so many benefits from you … Fellow Daoist, please don't tell Lord Water God about this."
"Fellow Daoists, don't worry." Li Changshou patted his chest. "I will definitely not tell Water God about this!"
Ox-head and Horse-face were relieved. They looked at the large amount of seasonings they had obtained and could not help but be overjoyed. They led the two disciples of the Duxian Gate to Fengdu City.
Ox-head and Horse-face had a small status in the Magi to begin with. In recent years, they had been close to the Water God of the Celestial Court and were on good terms with him. They were especially valued by the Netherworld.
The two of them acted like hotcakes and arranged for the King of a small mortal country to suffer less in the Eighteen Levels of Hell. It was naturally not a problem. It was just a matter of a word.
When Li Changshou summoned the dozens of guards' souls from the other Soul-Bewitching Pearl …
Perhaps it was because they were embarrassed to take too many seasonings, Ox-head and Horse-face were especially enthusiastic and even used too much strength.
They immediately summoned a large group of Netherworld servants and asked them to arrange for the normal souls to reincarnate and find a good family.
Ox-head even asked the guards enthusiastically if they had any special requests. For example, if they were too tired of being a man in this life, they could change into a woman through the Book of Life and Death in their next life.
The True Spirit was uncertain.
Li Changshou blinked. There seemed to be a new project for the Jade Emperor's reincarnation tribulation in the future!
He could give the Jade Emperor some new tricks.
Ahem, let's talk about serious matters.
On the surface, the main point today was to deal with the old king's soul.
Li Changshou brought Youqin Genya and followed behind Ox-head and Horse-face. They sneaked into a Yama Hall. Not long after, Youqin Genya's father's soul was escorted to a Grand Judge … Ox-head and Horse-face immediately whispered a few words.
Ox-head and Horse-face immediately whispered in his ear. The Grand Judge looked at Li Changshou, who was in the corner, and nodded calmly.
"Since the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Ren School and the juniors of Ren School that the Water God values have invited us, we can save ourselves the trouble of being frightened."
The gavel that was originally raised high gently landed. The Grand Judge also put away the pressure and said loudly, "Big Ghost and Little Ghost, retreat.
"Big Ghost, Little Ghost, step back. I, the King of Honglin Kingdom, raise his head. Left and right, verify his identity …"
The interrogation proceeded in an orderly manner. The Grand Judge quickly obtained a scroll and began to count the sins of the old man in the brocade robe who was kneeling below …
Not long after, Youqin Genya pursed her lips and frowned. She looked at her father, her eyes filled with helplessness and shame.
This king had really committed all the negative karma that the king of a country could commit …
Li Changshou listened for a while and could not help but shake his head. His immortal senses continued to scan his surroundings.
He naturally did not come as a disciple of Ren School purely for Youqin Genya's father.
Now that he had come to the Netherworld as the Water God, he could no longer see the various problems in Fengdu City.
Every time the Water God appeared in the Netherworld, the Netherworld would clear the streets of Fengdu City. It was as if they were dealing with a superior's inspection and covered up some small problems.
The hidden information was rather important to Li Changshou. It was the key to Li Changshou's plan to reform the Netherworld.
Li Changshou deduced that there must be a huge merit in the Netherworld. However, the Netherworld was not like the Dragons.
The latter was loyal to the Celestial Court and overcame many obstacles. His initial mentality was very similar to the Gold Lotus Pan who had been betrothed to Wu Dalang.
On the other hand, the Netherworld's treatment of the Celestial Court was like the Gold Lotus Pan taking the initiative to push open the window and throw a rod down when he saw Lord Ximen passing by …
It was full of initiative.
Li Changshou pondered for a long time and deduced for a long time. He realized that the merit of the Netherworld should be hidden in the various problems that the Netherworld had.
If he had eyes that were good at discovering problems, he would gather all the small problems in the Netherworld and become a huge problem.
Speaking of which, Grandpa Chao had never returned. He did not know how the discussion with the Goddess of Golden Light had gone.
Li Changshou temporarily suppressed the matter and let a paper effigy wait in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple. It would not delay Grandpa Chao's matter.
Perhaps, when Gongming and Golden Light said that they were going to break up, they thought about each other and decided to try again …
That was not impossible.
The Grand Judge counted the crimes of Genya's father and sentenced him according to the normal situation. He threw her father into the Eighteen Levels of Hell to suffer for three thousand years before allowing him to reincarnate.
Next, the Netherworld servants escorted the old King's soul and flew towards the Reincarnation Immortal Island. Ox-head and Horse-face brought Li Changshou and Youqin Genya and followed from afar.
This time, they did not go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Instead, they went to the edge of the Reincarnation Immortal Island and arrived at a dark red cliff.
Two rays of black light flew over from the cliff and turned into two pitch-black chains.
The Netherworld servants grabbed the chain and locked it around the wrist of the old King of the Honglin Kingdom. They looked at Ox-head and Horse-face.
"Moo!"
Ox-head said, "Say a few more words."
"Thank you," Youqin Genya replied softly. She lowered her head and knelt down in front of the old King without saying a word.
The old King's voice trembled a few times. At that moment, he saw Li Changshou and Youqin Genya, who had been following behind.
He subconsciously wanted to ask for help, but he did not say anything. He only looked at Li Changshou and nodded at Li Changshou. He turned around and opened his arms.
The chains slowly slid down and let out an ear-piercing sound of friction. The old King's figure was dragged into the endless abyss.
Waves of mournful cries came from below. It was as if a door had been opened and quickly closed. The cliff once again quieted down.
The low sound of the wind carried the whimpers from afar. Li Changshou stood beside Youqin Genya with his hands behind his back. She was already kneeling on the ground and silent.
After a while, Li Changshou said,
"Genya, let's go back …"
Ring … Ring …
The crisp sound of the wind chimes entered his ears. Li Changshou's eyes suddenly blurred, and a scene surfaced in his heart.
The lake was as smooth as a mirror, and there was white fog floating around.
A woman in a black dress was lying on the surface of the lake. Taking advantage of her fair skin that was like white jade, he took a closer look. Her ankles, wrists, neck, and waist were bound by thin silver chains.
For some reason, she closed her eyes and cried. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she muttered something, but Li Changshou could not hear her clearly …
An inexplicable sadness lingered in his heart. Li Changshou's paper effigy was naturally fine. However, his main body, which was far away in a corner of the Duxian Gate, had tears welling up in his eyes. He heard the weak and hoarse voice in his heart.
"Help me."
"Senior Brother, let's go back."
Youqin Genya's voice sounded beside him. Li Changshou suddenly snapped back to his senses. The scene he saw instantly dissipated, but the sadness lingered in his heart for a long time.
