Chapter 24 Master's Cold Laughter - That's a really good story.
To be honest, it's not a big deal for the dead to escape from the underworld and return to the human world.
This kind of thing happens every year; it's nothing unusual.
Especially after Ren Pingsheng pierced through the eighteenth level of hell with his sword, the structure of the underworld and the order of reincarnation became more or less flawed, and cases of evil spirits breaking away from the control of the underworld and causing havoc on the human world gradually increased.
The Emperor of Fengdu was troubled by the matter of repairing Hell. He didn't know where to get the five-colored stones and the Breath Soil used by Nuwa, the ancestor of the underworld, to build Hell.
Only by repairing Hell with raw materials can we effectively prevent violent fluctuations in demonic energy, stop evil spirits from running rampant, and maintain the order of the underworld.
If you don't use the original materials, even if you fix it, it will be a shoddy project that will break down in no time.
The Emperor of Fengdu wasn't interested in the game of building blocks and then tearing them down and rebuilding; it was more boring than children playing house.
So he started to slack off and started doing things recklessly.
More and more evil spirits are escaping hell.
These evil spirits ran away and wreaked havoc on the human world. Logically speaking, the underworld should send underworld officials to capture them.
However, since doing this kind of work doesn't have much impact on the underworld, the underworld officials often try to slack off and turn a blind eye.
Then there's Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, the Black and White Impermanence. When it comes to chasing souls and catching ghosts, they are professionals.
However, below the Fengdu Emperor and the Ten Kings of Hell, they are the managers of the third tier of the ruling class of the underworld.
Unless they are collecting the souls of important figures in the human world or handling matters personally handed over by the various ghost kings, they usually stay in their respective residences to cultivate diligently and do not easily show their faces in the human world.
Those who cultivate demonic arts dislike yang energy.
They left the mess to the people in the cultivation world to clean up.
At times like these, the important role of cultivation sects in regularly sending disciples to the mortal realm to eliminate evil spirits and slay demons becomes apparent.
So why would Fengdu take the escape of a mere little girl's spirit so seriously?
They might even send out the Impermanent Ghost to capture him personally.
Could it be that she is hiding some unknown secret?
Li Tingyun used the sound transmission function of the Immortal Binding Lock to tell Mei Shiyu these questions.
In addition, he also said:
“Master, the ‘decrees of the underworld’ we heard about before were actually orders issued by the gatekeeper of Yongjie Town. The gatekeeper is someone who guards the gate. If I remember correctly, the gatekeeper of Yongjie Town… this person is called Si Wuxie.”
Upon hearing this name, Mei Shiyu frowned for some reason, and even the corner of his mouth twitched. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Li Tingyun didn't see the change in his expression. He was just slowly recalling the character Si Wuxie in the book. What kind of person was he?
By the way, he's a messenger from the underworld.
The term "yincha" refers to both ghostly messengers in the underworld and living people in the mortal world who work for the underworld.
And Si Wuxie is precisely that kind of person.
He abandoned the path of immortality to cultivate the path of demons while still alive, and occupied the town of Eternal Calamity, a place with extremely strong yin energy, where he established a cultivation ground that belonged only to him.
His relationship with the underworld is somewhat complicated, like a collaborative outsourcing partnership—both independent and dependent.
After all, Yongjie Town has a very special geographical location. Although it is located in the mortal world, it is a necessary route to the underworld. It is unclear whether it belongs to the human world or the underworld, making it an ambiguous gray area.
Under Si Wuxie's rule, Yongjie Town became another barrier for the underworld besides the Gate of Hell.
If the underworld wants to capture a spirit, and the spirit happens to be hiding in Yongjie Town and hasn't drifted far, then they must notify Si Wuxie, an "unofficial" member, to assist in capturing and bringing the spirit to justice.
However... the book describes this person as both righteous and wicked, a madman with a peculiar thought process who is unable to communicate normally.
Most readers describe him as having "brainstem deficiency".
He's a pervert, he's seductive, he flirts with men, and he even has a cat fetish.
Therefore, you can often see free-roaming "furry babies" in Eternal Town.
Suddenly, Mei Shiyu's sleeves fluttered, and the Green Frost Sword was already drawn.
"This is a dangerous place, we shouldn't stay any longer. Yuanbao, let's leave now."
Li Tingyun remembered something because of his sudden action.
It's blanched.
He suddenly realized that among the many men that Si Wuxie had flirted with, his master was one of them.
Li Tingyun's inner thoughts: "$%&***!!!"
"Master Mei, please wait!"
The Black and White Impermanence blocked their path, while a hundred ghosts swarmed forward from behind, forming an encirclement.
Mei Shiyu said coldly, "I'm determined to leave, so what are you going to do about it?"
He blurted out "Let's go now" without using his magical artifact to transmit his voice, and the Black and White Impermanence heard it.
It was probably because he was extremely reluctant to meet Si Wuxie that he made this unnecessary oversight.
That disgusting face was utterly repulsive. He feared he might lose control and go on a killing spree in front of his apprentice, chopping that shameless scoundrel into dumpling filling.
The two sides were locked in a standoff when someone suddenly arrived on a sword, letting out a sharp cry that signaled that it was all too late.
Mei Shiyu gripped the sword hilt tightly, his knuckles clearly visible, and the veins on the back of his hand standing out.
Li Tingyun had never seen him suppress his anger like this before, and felt a chill in her heart, thinking to herself: It seems that Master cannot accept men having improper thoughts about him at all.
Wait a minute—what the hell is he thinking about now?!
Mei Shiyu is a man, so why should he accept the ulterior motives of his own kind?
It's only natural to feel that it's unacceptable.
Li Tingyun rubbed his fist with his thumb and transmitted his voice, "Master, I support you! Beat him up and smash his dog head! He's a shameless scoundrel!"
Upon hearing his apprentice say such a thing, Mei Shiyu awkwardly withdrew his sword.
Li Tingyun: "???"
Mei Shiyu: "We... do not advocate solving problems with violence, and we wish for... world peace."
Li Tingyun: "..."
Mei Shiyu: "Do you remember? You must always be mindful of your words and actions."
Li Tingyun: "..."
Haha, Master's corny jokes are really good.
He stepped forward and stood in front of Mei Shiyu, wanting to see clearly what kind of person Si Wuxie really was.
not far away.
Si Wuxie snapped open her folding fan and held it in front of her beautiful face. With bright eyes, she gave Mei Shiyu a look from afar. "Immortal Venerable, how have you been?"
What a cliché opening.
The only thing that interested Li Tingyun was that he had double pupils.
—Born with extraordinary features, possessing a keen eye for people.
That's what the book says.
Si Wuxie: "At the last Immortal Sect Assembly, I met the Immortal Venerable for the first time. At that time, the Immortal Venerable stole something from me. I wonder if you can return it to me now?"
Mei Shiyu retorted firmly, "When have I ever committed theft? And when have I ever stolen anything from you?!"
"Oh dear, you stole someone's heart!"
Si Wuxie snapped his folding fan shut again and complained, "You have no sense of romance."
Mei Shiyu nearly suffered a heart attack.
The filling was coated with lard.
Out of breath.
"Master, I think you need a bottle of dish soap."
"What it is?"
"It removes oil and grease, and leaves you feeling refreshed after use."
"You are not allowed to laugh at your teacher behind his back."
"Disciple does not."
"..."
Without saying a word, Mei Shiyu drew his sword and charged forward.
