Chapter 421: The Self-Torture Strategy is Still Effective

In the morning, Tan Wenjie and Zhao Zilong made an appointment to meet.

"I am a stand-in for countless people." Zhao Zilong ate voraciously. "My father was a ghost catcher. One time, he tried to save my friend and stopped the ghost catcher from seducing souls. Then he died. The ghost catcher is passed down from generation to generation. After his death, I became the ghost catcher."

Tan Wenjie didn't ask, Zhao Zilong had already told him everything.

"Who do you work for?"

"Ghost Judge." Zhao Zilong was choked and quickly raised his hand to hit his chest several times.

He let out a long breath before continuing, "It's hard to be a part-time ghost messenger. You have to go to work every day, regardless of day or night. Once you get the list and the time, you have to start working. You can't not go to work when the time comes. Occasionally, you will encounter masters like you. No, none of those masters can compare to you."

"You are a living person, how can you be a ghost messenger?"

Just as Zhao Zilong's father tried to stop the ghost incident because he saw that the person who died was someone he knew, if all the ghost officials in the world were living people, the world would definitely be in chaos.

"I don't know, do you want to eat this?" He looked at the barbecued pork buns in front of Tan Wenjie.

Tan Wenjie gave the barbecued pork bun to him and said, "If it's not enough, I'll order more. Don't worry, whoever finishes last will pay."

"Thank you, I'll be full soon." Zhao Zilong immediately controlled his appetite.

"How is your usual salary?" Tan Wenjie asked again.

"What salary?"

"Be a ghost messenger."

"Being a ghost messenger also gets paid?"

It seemed like Zhao Zilong was hearing this for the first time.

Tan Wenjie's ancestors had been working as part-time ghost messengers for generations, working for free. The look in Tan Wenjie's eyes was full of pity when he looked at Zhao Zilong. He was treated like a slave in life and a horse in death.

As if he noticed this for the first time, Zhao Zilong looked unhappy.

In fact, he was very excited when he knew he could be a ghost catcher. However, he got nothing except that his life became more difficult, his work was delayed and he couldn't get enough rest.

It’s a pity that I can’t resign. Even looking at what happened to my father, he was dead after he died, and there was no employee treatment at all.

"Is there any inside information?" Tan Wenjie lowered his voice.

"I go to work every day, collect my documents and leave. I have never been to the underworld."

Zhao Zilong suddenly stood up and looked at his palm: "It's nearby."

nearby?

Following his gaze, Tan Wenjie saw a fat old man eating a bun.

One bite, two bites.

Choked.

"Well--!"

His eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Someone immediately rushed forward to help him massage his back, and finally his body stopped moving. Zhao Zilong, who had already left his body, had already captured the other person's soul.

Looking back, Zhao Zilong was left with only his soulless body, lying on the table like a corpse.

Half an hour later, Zhao Zilong sat up, rubbing his neck. His face changed drastically when he saw the pile of bowls in front of him.

"What did you eat?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay."

"Really?" Zhao Zilong was skeptical.

It was the first time we met and we were not very familiar with each other, but I always felt that I might be cheated.

"rest assured."

"I'll have another one."

"Aren't you full?"

"Just digested."

After separating from Zhao Zilong, Tan Wenjie went to the police station again, and Feng Laosi had already arrived.

Inviting Tan Wenjie to go to Japan is equivalent to inviting a great boss to protect you from behind.

He just has a bad temper, not a stupid brain.

Of course, the most important thing is Tan Wenjie’s own opinion.

"Go, why not go?"

If the ghosts don't come to find him, isn't he allowed to go find the ghosts? This is just the right way to avoid going to the Cheng family to meet his three-in-one father-in-law.

Feng Laosi looked at Tan Wenjie. The last time he met him, he found him to be an ordinary person. Now when they met again, he found that he didn't seem so ordinary.

"I recently took the time to learn some spells with my girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend?"

Feng Laosi remembered very clearly that his girlfriend was a policewoman, who didn't look like she could use magic.

"Zhang Ling, descendant of Zhang Tianshi."

Feng Lao Si: “…”

It turns out you were having multiple relationships at the same time, but it's a relief that you could say it openly to my face.

"It will take some time for us to get the documents." Feng Lao Si was very satisfied with his new partner.

I learned from Lao Ma that Tan Wenjie not only has amazing talent, but also has first-class boxing skills and is born with supernatural powers.

It is a bit too much to put it on ordinary people, but for people with immortal fate, Feng Lao Si can only say that he needs to practice more.

After leaving the police station, Feng Lao Si seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Friend Tan, have you encountered a ghost?"

His level of Taoism was too high, so it was difficult for him to pretend not to see anything. Moreover, he was sure that Tan Wenjie not only encountered a ghost, but it was a female ghost.

"We just had a little communication." Tan Wenjie said helplessly, "She wants to repay the favor, and I can't do anything about it."

Feng Lao Si didn't know how to persuade him: "For the sake of your health, you should exercise moderation."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Seeing that his steps were steady and he looked a bit ghostly but with no loss of yang energy, Feng Lao Si nodded.

It is believable. After all, he was praised by the great immortals and said to be a man who would definitely become an immortal. He would definitely not be obsessed with women.

……

hotel.

As soon as Tan Wenjie opened the door, the female ghost Wei Xiaodie came over with a complicated expression.

Although he didn't stare at the big eyes carefully, he could still vaguely distinguish traces of the fan-shaped diagram from them, expressing helplessness, regret, reluctance, etc.

He is not good at math and can't calculate proportions. In short, it is very complicated.

Tan Wenjie's nose twitched. The smell of the ghost was quite complicated.

There is a ghost, it is lying in ambush here without hiding.

Wei Xiaodie urged anxiously, "My distant cousin is here to see me. I'll go back with her tomorrow. Why don't we go to the movies together today?"

"Watching a movie again!"

He must strongly condemn such boring couple activities. Apart from feeding the cinema and the popcorn sellers, this activity is meaningless. He had thought that he could finally watch a movie three times instead of four times when Cheng Xiaoxi went on a business trip abroad.

It was too early for me to be happy.

Tan Wenjie walked towards Wei Xiaodie and reached out to grab her hand.

Ice cold.

Wei Xiaodie shuddered and subconsciously retracted her hand and stepped back.

The ghost lying in ambush nearby glared and howled.

She couldn't delay any longer, she made up her mind.

"Do you still remember that you helped a woman named Wei Xiaodie before? There was a suicide note on a dressing table. Do you remember?"

"Suicide note, does that mean you are dead? Don't be ridiculous, there are no ghosts in this world."

"I'm not kidding."

Wei Xiaodie looked at Tan Wenjie with tears in her eyes.

Although the man in front of her is fickle and lustful, he is really doing this for her own good, using the merits he has accumulated from doing good deeds to help her escape from the hands of her ghost husband.

The merits of sending a ghost into reincarnation are too great to be imagined.

"I'm here to repay a favor."

"How do I repay you?"

"I promised myself to you." Wei Xiaodie said, "But my ghost husband came and said he would kill you unless I went with him."

She didn't expect that her attempt to repay a favor would cause so much trouble.

"I also said that I am a ghost-catching master." Tan Wenjie said, "No matter what kind of ghost king or demon king there is, they will run away when they see me."

"Really?" A sinister voice came from behind. An ugly green-faced ghost in a white robe with a big red flower tied on his chest stood at the door.

"Wife, now that we're done saying goodbye, it's time to follow me." The Ugly Ghost King urged.

"Ajie~" Wei Xiaodie looked at Tan Wenjie with tears in her eyes, and her body flew towards the ugly ghost uncontrollably.

They had only known each other for a day or two. Could it be that some plot had been skipped? Tan Wenjie looked at Wei Xiaodie who was looking at him with a sincere face and was a little unresponsive.

They are just attracted to each other's bodies, so where does this Liang Zhu-like feeling come from?

Tan Wenjie subconsciously took two steps forward.

The Ugly Ghost King glared at Tan Wenjie: "Why, even if you have merits to protect your body, I am not afraid of you."

He had previously wanted to kill the pretty boy who had stolen his girl away. Having been the King of Ghosts for a long time, he was no longer afraid of people with good deeds. However, Wei Xiaodie promised him that if he let Tan Wenjie go, she would stay with him forever and would never be reincarnated.

If we don't kill this person, he will only live for a few decades at most, which is nothing.

"Ajie, don't take risks for me." Wei Xiaodie also shook her head.

Tan Wenjie: "Actually, I didn't mean to stop you from going with him."

Wei Xiaodie's crying expression was frozen on her face.

The Ugly Ghost King glared angrily: "You are as cowardly as a mouse, you deserve to die!"

He doesn't like others competing with him for his wife, but he also despises others who are afraid of death. Even if someone kneels down and kowtows to him and begs for mercy, the Ghost King will still respect him.

Opening his mouth to swallow, Tan Wenjie raised his hand: "Wait, what I mean is that I want to go to the underworld with her. After all, she came here because of me, and now she is sacrificing herself for me. I can't just ignore it."

"Hahahaha, good!" The Ghost King laughed, "Follow me if you're brave enough!"

He strode forward carrying Wei Xiaodie, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

Tan Wenjie followed closely behind.

He had been to the underworld before, which was the territory of the Black Mountain Old Demon. If a living person entered there without the protection of a treasure, his yang fire would be extinguished in a short time and he would become a dead person.

The Ugly Ghost King is in a dark place with a blue sky and graves under his feet.

All outward perception was cut off, and it seemed that this was a crude, half-formed ghost realm.

"He is a ghost king after all, and his living environment is so bad."

Tan Wenjie shook his head.

"Boy, you are quite courageous!" The Ugly Ghost King looked at Tan Wenjie and laughed, "But since you followed me in, I won't send you out!"

Wei Xiaodie's eyes were filled with tears: "Ajie."

The tears that had stopped before burst out again.

"Wow... Ugh!" She froze again.

Tan Wenjie suddenly changed his appearance. He was wearing a red robe like Zhong Kui, with a merit wheel behind his head, the Five Thunder Heavenly Master's Order in his left hand, and a big seal in his right hand.

The blood and energy in his body rushed into the sky, and lightning surrounded him.

"Tianshi?" The Ugly Ghost King opened his mouth with a fierce look on his face, "I'm going to eat you!"

This is his ghostland. Only others are afraid of him, not him.

After the ghost head broke free from the neck, it turned into the size of a two-story building. The ghost mouth turned into a door, its fangs turned yellow and black, and its tongue was like an asphalt road crushed by an overloaded truck.

Tan Wenjie stepped forward with his left foot.

"He has eaten countless people and his brain is stupid. There is no hope for him."

He grabbed the Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order with his left hand and punched out, and the lightning twisted wildly.

The Ugly Ghost King felt the natural suppression of thunder magic on him, and subconsciously gave up the attack and turned to dodge.

The lightning "boomed" and rushed towards the place where he had just stood.

The Ghost King looked back and his brows twitched.

I saw that the grave mound that was connected by a line behind me was flattened.

Ghostly smoke was flying and flames were everywhere, as if someone had detonated the entire minefield in one breath, and the sound of bangs was endless.

The Ghost King knew that he could not withstand the thunder fist head-on, so he twisted his body and turned into black wind, rushing around in the sky, making it impossible for Tan Wenjie to catch him. At the same time, he let out a ghostly roar, and the grave mound split open, with ghost shadows crawling out of it.

Most of them were dressed like paper figures, with white faces and rosy cheeks, and walked stiffly.

The number is overwhelming.

If Tan Wenjie uses Lightning Thunder Fist to meet the enemy, it will not be difficult to defeat him, but his magic power will be consumed too quickly, and the Ghost King will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to attack him.

The black wind rolling around above your head was like a sharp sword hanging over your head.

Tan Wenjie clenched his fists and without looking at him, the ground behind him suddenly rumbled and shook, the ground broke open, and a branch like a snake's tail emerged, sweeping across and twisting before standing behind Tan Wenjie, growing rapidly.

In an instant, the branch turned into a thunder tree.

The tree is three meters tall, and its branches are very similar to the outline of lightning. There are thunder explosions every second, and the treetops are decorated with electric fire. The ghost wind from the underworld blows, shaking off a piece of flames.

Tan Wenjie stood under the thunder tree, allowing those evil spirits to pounce on him, like moths to a flame, turning into ashes after being struck by lightning.

Heifeng seized the opportunity and pounced, hitting Tan Wenjie in the chest.

But the lightning from the thunder tree followed closely and struck the Ghost King hard.

Both sides retreated with injuries to each other.

The Ghost King fell to the ground, breathing heavily, his big copper bell-like eyes wide open.

I can't figure out who the other party is, and I used all my strength but only made him spit blood and get injured? He is as strong as steel.

Tan Wenjie also looked at the injured Ugly Ghost King.

Lei Shu is equivalent to an automatic Lightning Thunder Fist-releasing turret. Each release consumes his mana. A quick glance shows that his mana is almost drained. With only seven or eight hundred points, he can only injure the opponent.

Very thick leather X2
Must use full strength X2
Can't let him live X2
There was no verbal communication, but both sides were determined to kill each other at this moment. Otherwise, if the other party escaped, they would be in trouble in the future.

Because the thunder tree was so powerful and had a natural suppressive effect on ghosts, the ghosts dared not move forward.

The Ghost King looked at the ghosts fleeing towards him, suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed, chewing a few bites randomly, and most of his injuries were healed.

"Hahahaha! I don't believe you can beat me."

Everyone was injured. He could swallow ghosts to heal his wounds, but Tan Wenjie could only fight on his own.

So your chances of winning are greater.

"Ajie!"

At the beginning of the battle, Wei Xiaodie was overwhelmed by the terrifying momentum of both sides. She had to hide in the distance and watch the scene. She wanted to help but was overwhelmed by the cold wind that came head-on. Not only did she fail to move forward, but she was pushed backwards.

The electric arc climbing on Tan Wenjie's body made a bang like a whip, and in an instant it twisted into a thunder ball and flew towards the Ghost King close to the ground.

The grave mound on the ground turned into ashes instantly when it was hit by the thunder ball, leaving behind a long trench.

A dazzling flash of lightning burst out, but was torn apart by the Ghost King in just a moment. He believed that he had been able to seriously injure Tan Wenjie before, and now he had an absolute advantage facing a seriously injured person.

"Buddha's Palm!"

The golden palm print hit the Ghost King on the head, forcing him back.

"You still have the strength?" The Ghost King was puzzled.

The slap just now contained the rhythm of Buddhism and almost made him convert. Its power was not much less than that of the Lightning Thunder Fist.

"I don't believe you can keep hitting like this."

In response, Tan Wenjie slapped him again.

The two sides were in a stalemate. From being surrounded by dense swarms of ghosts, they gradually ended up with nothing around them and no other ghosts could be seen.

The Ghost King dragged his injured body to Tan Wenjie, only to see him quickly drawing talismans in the air with blood on his face.

The Five Thunder Talismans condensed in front of him, forcibly amplifying it with the "Ghost Painting Talisman" talent.

The Heavenly Master's Seal of Subduing Demons is stamped on the talisman, increasing its power by 50%.

The Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order increases thunder damage by 4.

The Five Thunder Talisman that was emitting electric light continuously, triggered a "Five Thunders Strike on the Top of the Head" as Tan Wenjie gently clapped his palm forward.

"boom!"

Within the ghost realm, divine thunder poured down from the head of the Ghost King like a waterfall.

When the lightning dissipated, the cold wind began to blow again in the ghost realm.

The Ghost King disappeared completely.

Tan Wenjie glanced at his own evaluation and found that there was a change. As expected, he still had to take the initiative.

"Master." Wei Xiaodie floated over and looked at the red-robed figure with fear.

The ordinary man who was just greedy for his body has now become a master who can kill the Ghost King.

All those memories from the past have become false.

Tan Wenjie: "Come and help me, I have no strength left."

"Ajie!" Wei Xiaodie immediately flew to his side, looked at the wounds all over his body, and couldn't help wanting to cry.

Any sense of distance was thrown out of her mind the moment she hugged Tan Wenjie.

Tan Wenjie rested his head on the ghost girl's knees, the self-torture tactic worked.
