Chapter 204: Midnight Visit

Hei Wuchang did not sit down immediately, but first looked at the others.

Jiang Luo immediately reacted, thinking that Hei Wuchang didn't want too many people to stay here, and took the initiative to say, "Brother Hei, if you don't like it, then let the others go out first?"

Hei Wuchang shook his head, and asked, "Are these the friends of Lord Sei?"

"Right." Jiang Luo introduced the others.

Hei Wuchang nodded his head silently, and after memorizing each and every one of them, he solemnly performed an ancient salute of worship to them, "Thank you for taking care of Lord Sei in general."

Zhu Ge several people also hurriedly line back the salute, according to the gourd, also like a model, "Do not have to thank do not have to thank."

But as soon as they finished bowing, they realized who this God was and why he was thanking them for Sai Liaoer.

They were puzzled, Hei Wuchang had sat down on the sofa, straightened his spine and looked at Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo suppressed the feeling that something was wrong and told Hei Wuchang about it.

Hei Wuchang pondered for a moment, "Why are the dead?"

Jiang Luo said, "Teng Bi."

Hei Wuchang laughed, "Mr. Jiang, I asked about his birth date. What year, month and day he was born, and what year, month and day he died."

Jiang Luo was silent as he turned to Lu Youyi, who shook his head blankly at him.

It's over. They don't know Teng Bi's date of birth.

"Is the date of death the date he died in the Dragon Vein?"

Hei Wuchang said, "No, it was the day he died when he became the living dead."

Then they know even less.

Jiang Luo had a headache, he rubbed his brow, "Brother Black, if you find his birth date and date of death, won't you be able to bring him back to life?"

Hei Wuchang was always strict, Jiang Luo was afraid that he wouldn't do anything that violated the work order at all, so he asked with some apprehension.

Hei Wuchang, however, said in an enlightened manner, "Extraordinary methods are used in extraordinary places. The dragon vein is suppressed by the dragon's qi, and the righteousness is immense. Those who died will not become ghosts here, so naturally we ghost messengers do not need to manage them. Over time, the Palace of Hades will not waste manpower to collect the souls of the dead from the Dragon Vein, because there are no souls to be collected either. Therefore, no matter who is alive or dead in the Dragon Vein, alive and dead or dead and alive, they will not be noticed by the Palace of Hades. This is what is meant by the 'entrance can be expected to survive' that you saw in the ancient tomb."

"But your friend is a living dead person, this is a blessing in misfortune, he has already died once, the time and place where the living soul becomes a dead soul are not in the Dragon Vein, the soul has long belonged to the hell, but not afraid of being suppressed by the Dragon Vein."

Jiang Luo was thoughtful, he smiled, "No wonder I didn't see Brother Black when I died in the dragon's eye, you said before that you would personally come to my door to take the soul chain from my soul when I died, I was thinking of accommodating with you and letting you let me off the hook."

Hei Wuchang was surprised, "You died once?"

He carefully looked at Jiang Luo and sighed as he shook his head, "I only noticed that your breath has changed, but I didn't realize that you had actually died once ...... On closer inspection, it looks like you have become a living dead person. But the breath is not a pure living dead person breath, but rather there is still some of the divine nature of incense."

"Hei's vision is so good," Jiang Luo looked at Hei Wuchang with reverence and naturally patted him on the back before asking, "Hei, is Teng Bi still saved?"

"I can't tell you the answer right now," Hei Wuchang said with a straight face, "According to you, Teng Bi died before the end of the Ming Dynasty. He has been dead for at least four hundred years, I need to find his soul in hell before we can talk about anything else. But you should know how many ghosts are collected in hell every day, how many ghosts are collected in a year, and 400 years is a terrible number. Without his birth date and death date, I'm only afraid that I won't be able to find him even after searching for hundreds of years."

From his words, everyone present guessed who he was. After being secretly surprised, Ge Zhu curiously asked, "How many souls does the hell collect in a day?"

Hei Wuchang said, "Tens of thousands."

"Hiss-" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Even if the hell only receives ten thousand souls a day well, a year is three million six hundred and fifty five thousand, and Teng Bi has died for at least four hundred years, this this ...... this number is so huge that they can t even count it.

Jiang Luo was taken aback by the number of words, and then he couldn't help but show a look of sympathy and pity. He looked at Hei Wuchang as if he saw Sai Liaoer who stayed up late every night to work part-time, or an unpaid part-time job.

Hei Wuchang coughed, "Mr. Jiang, there is already very little work for Mr. Sei."

"Sai Liaoer's job?" Wen Renlian suddenly asked, "He and you partner work? Sai Liaoer wouldn't be ...... "White Impermanence," he said.

Hei Wuchang nodded calmly, "Lord Sei is none other than White Impermanence."

"?!"

Everyone except Jiang Luo was shaken to pieces by these words. Ge Zhu's voice drifted, "Sai Liaoer is White Impermanence?!"

Lu Youyi eyes closed about to faint, was Ye Xun timely support, his eyes straightened, "my mother's ah ......"

Jiang Luo ignored their ghostly cries and asked with a smile, "Brother Black, didn't you previously instruct me not to tell anyone else about Sai Liaoer being a White Impermanent?"

"It doesn't matter now," Hei Wuchang said with a calm demeanor, "You are friends of Lord Sei, so there is no harm in telling. In the past, I asked you not to tell because I was afraid that someone would lay hands on Duke Sei, but now there is no need to worry. During this period of time, Duke Sei has been doing a better and better job as a White Impermanence, and more than that, he has also made outstanding contributions to our hell."

Zhuo Zhongqiu always felt like she was dreaming today, she pinched herself and asked in a trance, "What contribution?"

"Duke Sei is the first foreigner among the White Impermanence since ancient times," Hei Wuchang said seriously, "and the souls of some foreigners who have died with us can be given to him to communicate with; it saves a lot of trouble, and it also allows me to learn one more language, and to have an additional official duty of translation need to be busy. Because Duke Sei has done such a good job, the adults above have decided to hire Duke Sei as the official White Impermanence when he dies, partnering with me to continue the work. Therefore, he has become the nailed-on White Impermanence, and with my hellish protection, others naturally can't make a move against him."

Hearing this, it dawned on the others.

"Ah ...... so."

"Sai Liaoer will also be a white erratic after death ah ......"

"And taught you English ah ......"

Jiang Luo looked at his partners, who looked like they had already fainted, and felt even more sorry for Sai Liaoer, who had to work all the time even after death. He coughed and politely said, "Sai Liaoer is a foreigner, can he stay in hell after death?"

Hei Wuchang thought for a moment and sincerely thanked him, "Thanks for the reminder, I'll go and remind His Excellency to negotiate with the foreign Shinigami."

Jiang Luo smiled sarcastically a few times, "You're welcome."

Sai Liaoer, I did my best.

He got back to the point, "Black, I'll find a way to get Teng Bi's information to you afterward, then after that I'm going to have to ask for your help in finding his soul."

Hei Wuchang nods, "A small matter. Do you have anything else to say?"

Since he asked, Jiang Luo also spoke nonchalantly, "Brother Black, how come that Style God in the ancient tomb was able to keep coming back from the dead?"

"A god is not a human being, so his life is naturally harder," Hei Wuchang said. "The tomb built in the dragon's eye only guarantees that his body will not rot, but not that he will come back from the dead. He was kept in the tomb in the dragon's eye in order to absorb the essence of the dragon vein and offer it to his master. Moreover, you have also seen the couplet, this style god is afraid that before he was locked into the tomb, his soul was taken out by his master and placed in the hell, so that the bought and paid for the Yinman will send his soul up at any time, which can be regarded as a borrowed body to return to the soul."

I see, but the fact that Dragon Eyes would guarantee that the corpse wouldn't rot was definitely a surprise, making Jiang Luo breathe a sigh of relief that at least he wouldn't need to worry about Teng Bi's body rotting.

"Black, I have one last question," Jiang Luo asked, "Do you know about the Fated Man?"

Hei Wuchang slowly nodded, "He is the only False God today."

Jiang Luo gets right to the point, "How can you kill a false god?"

Hei Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly as he looked over at Jiang Luo, who looked at him with an open gaze that made his intentions clear.

Hei Wuchang said, "We will not be involved in the yang fight."

It means that Hei Wuchang cannot tell the answer to this question.

Jiang Luo sighed, but still smiled and said, "Brother Black, I've troubled you today."

Hei Wuchang nodded lightly, he closed his eyes and prepared to leave. But before leaving, Hei Wuchang suddenly said, "When you meet a vegetable woman on the road, don't talk to her."

After saying that, Hei Wuchang disappeared.

Sai Liaoer slowly opens his eyes and yawns sleepily, his eyes open in a dazed, lackluster spirit, "Did it work?"

Wen Renlian gently patted his head, "It worked, go to sleep."

Sai Liaoer didn't insist and fell asleep on the sofa.

Jiang Luo was thinking about the last words Hei Wuchang had said.

What does that mean?

Jiang Luo was not the only one who found it strange, so did the others. Sai Liaoer fell asleep in the living room, and they moved on to the other rooms, pondering Teng Bi's birth date and time of death, as well as Hei Wuchang's remark.

Jiang Luo always felt that this phrase was Hei Wuchang euphemistically giving him a hint to kill the False God, but what exactly did it mean?

They thought about it until nightfall and still couldn't come up with anything. Zhuo Zhongqiu's brain was about to explode, and said in a mute voice: "Why don't we rest tonight, and think about it tomorrow? As for Teng Bi's matter, let Ge Zhu go ask Ge Wuchen first."

Ge Zhu had no objection, "I'll ask him tomorrow."

This day had experienced too many things, and everyone felt tired to a greater or lesser extent. Lu Youyi had never gotten a good night's sleep in the past few days, and this would be a long time before he felt sleepy, taking the lead to get up shakily, "That's right, I'll go back to bed first. Jiang Luo, together?"

Jiang Luo stood up, "Let's go, together."

The two of them left in company, and the rest of the group scattered.

Lu Youyi's house had a limited number of guest rooms, and each room was occupied by two to three people. Kuang Zheng was at school refining weapons these days, he was in the middle of a critical time and didn't have time to come out. Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi have their own room, the rest of the people live two by two, and Zhuo Zhongqiu has his own room.

Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu carried Sai Liaoer to Ye Xun's room, and the two returned to the guest room side by side.

Ge Zhu was still exclaiming, "I didn't realize that Sai Liaoer was White Impermanence... My God, White Impermanence is a foreigner... I've really grown up."

Wenrenren couldn't help but laugh as well, "I was shocked as well."

They opened the guest room and closed the door, Wen Renlian was about to turn on the light, but realized that the light would not turn on. He was a little surprised when Ge Zhu suddenly gripped his arm, his voice tight, "Wen Ren, there's someone in the house!"

Wen Renlian was startled and turned his head to look.

On the single sofa next to the bed was sitting a relaxed dark figure.

The moonlight outside the window struck the man's body in silver, outlining the bridge of his straight, pale nose and the perfect line of his jaw in the darkness. His hands gently rested on the armrests, and a touch of moonlight fell on his bony fingers.

His fingers tapped meaningfully on the face of the armrest, and he said nonchalantly, "You're here."

With just a few moments of moonlight, and the man's unique and contradictory charm, Winnie Lane guessed who he was.

Ge Zhu also guessed who he was.

Their faces were stony, and Wenren even pulled Ge Zhu back a step, "Chi You."

The evil spirit laughed softly, and the curved corners of his lips spread out into the ghastly moonlight.

Ge Zhu doesn't move as he tries to open the door to exit, but doesn't.

Not good.

Ever since he realized that his brother Ge Wuchen was under the command of Chi You, Ge Zhu felt that he had never really seen Chi You clearly, he understood Chi You's terror and inscrutability even more than Wen Renlian, Ge Wuchen would remind him sternly not to mess with Chi You every time in the past half a month, a man who could make Ge Wuchen afraid, Ge Zhu couldn't imagine how scary Chi You would be. As a man who could make Ge Wuchen afraid, Ge Zhu could not imagine how terrifying Chi You would be.

This caused Ge Zhu's skin to tense up when he saw Chi You at this moment!

Wenren Lian still managed to ask calmly, "Are you here to see us?"

The evil spirit said, "Obviously."

Wen Renlian did his best to remain calm as he cautiously asked, "What do you want from us?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to make a deal with you," the evil spirit stretched out his fingers and put them up in front of his lips, his expression was helpless as he shrugged his shoulders, he slowly said, "You are Jiang Luo's friends, and Jiang Luo regards you as very important. Wen Ren Lian, I know that you are a smart person who knows how to calculate and persuade others. Ge Zhu, you are also a smart person, when I first gave you guys lessons, I was very impressed by how smart you all were."

The Evil Ghost complimented gently, but every word was like a sinister python revealing its fangs. Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu's expressions grew increasingly defensive and rigid, and as their guards were frantically tooting their horns, the evil ghost's words changed, saying, "I'll give you fifteen days. Within fifteen days, make Jiang Luo willingly admit to liking me and take the initiative to confess his feelings to me. If you can't do that ......"

His voice got lower and lower, and he suddenly smiled, "You have been in my dreams too, and if you hadn't done this, I would have been very unhappy. When I'm unhappy, maybe I'll turn the world into what it was in the dream. At that point, what are you, and your family and friends, going to do."

Zhu Ge's heart races, "You're threatening us?!"

The evil spirit snapped his fingers, "So true."

He stood up, his slender silhouette in the darkness with a powerful sense of oppression. Ge Zhu and Wen Renlian felt an instinctive chill rise as the evil spirit looked down on them, his eyes deep and dark.

"If you do, as long as Jiang Luo is with me, not only will I not destroy the entire metaphysical community, I will also give you information about Teng Bi so that you will have a chance to bring him back to life," the evil spirit turned around and slowly opened the balcony door, giving the two one last look, " Call it a deal, but I don't want to hear no for an answer. If after fifteen days, he still has the desire to break up with me."

The evil spirit's voice went cold, "You don't want to know what I'll do."

When he finished, he disappeared from the balcony.
