Chapter 443: Stealing the Book of Life and Death is a War Achievement
Under Lin Zheng’s enthusiastic invitation, the ghost finally chose to stay.
He took the initiative to propose to live in the wine jar prepared by Lin Zheng, and was willing to use the lotus lantern array to protect himself. He did not show any reluctance and kept thanking him.
It’s great to be alive.
The matter has not come to an end. The problem lies with the Ghost-Slaying Sword, or rather, with Zhong Kui and the Ghost Judge.
Since the Ghost Judge set up a plan to get rid of Zhong Kui hundreds of years in advance, it must not be as simple as just using the Corpse-Shocking Sword, there must be a backup plan.
Tan Wenjie: "Why don't you just ask Zhong Kui and find out?"
"You say that easily."
Lin Zheng resisted the urge to raise his middle finger.
How could gods care about mortals?
"I'll burn incense and invite you."
He has Zhong Kui's favorability and can use the VIP special channel for private chats.
Now that I have the Ghost-Slaying Sword with me, my success rate is definitely not low.
……
In the dark night, on the highway, three figures are hurrying on their way.
The person in front was wearing a red Taoist robe, had leopard eyes, a curly beard, and an ugly appearance.
Next to him was a woman in a white dress and a dwarf in white clothes holding a mourning stick.
"Master Kui, what should we do next?"
The dwarf kept looking around.
"I haven't been to the Yang World for hundreds of years. I didn't expect it to have changed so much." The red-robed Taoist priest said, "Let's go ask the local land first."
He was about to make the hand gesture when he suddenly felt something in his heart.
"what?"
"Brother, what's wrong?" asked the woman in white gauze puzzledly.
"Someone in the world of the living is looking for me."
"You are the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui. It's not strange that someone is looking for you."
"No, no, this person is different."
He shook his head and nodded.
"Come on, let's go over and take a look."
"What about the land?"
"With him here, there's no need to look for land."
……
In the living room, Tan Wenjie burned incense and waited quietly.
Because Jiujie and Aqiu were too nervous from their previous experience, they relaxed and fell asleep quickly.
Lin Zheng hesitated to speak several times. It was not because he did not believe Tan Wenjie, but because Tan Wenjie said he could contact Zhong Kui.
It's too exaggerated to be believed.
"Here it comes!" Tan Wenjie suddenly opened his eyes.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rings.
Lin Zheng stood up and opened the door, only to see three figures standing outside, with a ghostly aura blowing towards him.
"What evil spirit dares to come to my door?"
He stepped back suddenly and immediately activated the lotus lantern array.
The man raised his hand and slapped out, and the lights were instantly extinguished in the strong wind.
Lin Zheng staggered to steady himself, sat cross-legged and undressed, revealing the last treasure he had prepared: "Master gave me a red bellyband, and I can capture any demon or ghost I want! Oh no... this ghost is too fierce."
Looking at Lin Zheng who was kicked over.
Tan Wenjie: “…”
He reminded: "Friend Lin, don't you think he looks a bit like Zhong Kui?"
"Take me in?" The figure in the bright red Taoist robe laughed loudly, "I am the ancestor of all ghost hunters in the world!"
Zhong Kui and Yan Chixia look the same.
Tan Wenjie has been trying hard to get used to it. In fact, he thinks this face is quite credible, more credible than the version of Zhong Kui played by the Western Factory Master.
"Boy, are you looking for me?" Zhong Kui looked at Tan Wenjie. The feeling he had was very strange, especially since the Ghost-Slaying Sword was still on him.
Tan Wenjie did not hide anything and briefly explained the whole story.
Zhong Kui walked towards the wine jar and pointed: "Is it in this wine jar?"
The wine jar, which had been quiet all this time, suddenly began to struggle.
"Grandpa Kui, please spare me, Grandpa, please spare me!"
"I can't spare you!"
Zhong Kui raised his hand and grabbed the wine jar, tore open the seal and opened his mouth to swallow. The ghost was swallowed into his mouth with a gulp, and Zhong Kui laughed.
The ghost messenger problem that had been bothering Lin Zheng was easily solved.
"I don't get along with the ghost judge." Zhong Kui wiped his mouth and said, "I have to swallow a few of these reckless little ghosts every day to vent my hatred."
Tan Wenjie asked: "Why did the ancestor come to the mortal world?"
“This…that…” Zhong Kui hesitated.
"This is not the place to talk." Tan Wenjie took the initiative to suggest, "Why don't we go somewhere else to chat, Fellow Daoist Lin, I'll leave this place to you."
Lin Zheng: “…”
In fact, he also wanted to go, after all, that was the ancestor of all ghost hunters in the world.
He could also tell that Zhong Kui seemed to only want to talk to Tan Wenjie.
I didn't expect there really was a VIP channel.
Tan Wenjie opened the car door and invited them in.
After starting the car, he decisively handed over the magic weapon.
After all, it is someone else's famous sword. There is no point in taking it by force.
After a slight pain, Tan Wenjie asked, "Why did Master Kui come to the mortal world? Maybe I can help."
"It's still for my sister." Zhong Kui sighed, "For her eighteenth marriage, I have been busy with her wedding for the past hundred years."
Tan Wenjie glanced at Zhong Xiaomei sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror and decided to keep his mouth shut. It was not because he was confident that the other person would like him, but because he could not afford to offend this marriage.
Having a great god as your brother-in-law is something you would love to have, but there is a corresponding price to pay. Not to mention that marrying 18 times is just a small matter, if you marry her, you will definitely have to give up all other beauties.
He is capable, has high demands, is fickle and lustful, and will never give up a forest for one person.
Besides, the other party is not a stunning beauty.
That's not necessary.
"That day when my younger sister was getting married, a man fell from the sky, and my younger sister would marry no one but him." Zhong Kui's words were vague, and Tan Wenjie only understood half of what he said, but it didn't stop him from nodding. It turned out that there was already a candidate, and it was good that it wasn't him.
"Is the ancestor coming to the human world to find that person?"
"Yes, I stole the Book of Life and Death for my younger sister and found out the information about that person. However, I had just arrived in the world of the living and was unfamiliar with the place. I didn't expect that such a huge change would happen in just a hundred years."
Tan Wenjie almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
Why does stealing the Book of Life and Death sound like going for tea to you?
But if you think about it carefully, for a little ghost, stealing the Book of Life and Death is a serious crime that will send him to hell, but for a big god, stealing the Book of Life and Death is a glorious achievement.
Have you ever caused trouble in the Dragon Palace? Have you ever caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace? Have you ever changed the Book of Life and Death? If you haven't done any of these, how dare you say you are awesome!
The gods have their own system for measuring their combat effectiveness. It is useless to brag about it. The results must speak for themselves.
"This is easy to do." Tan Wenjie said, "Tell me his name. I have some acquaintances in this area."
Find the police, the gangsters, and the black and white forces together. Without exaggerating, he can find the other party's home address before dawn.
"We also know what his job is." Zhong Xiaomei suddenly said.
"That would be easier."
Tan Wenjie drove them to his home.
After asking them to sit down, Tan Wenjie picked up the phone.
"Miss Zhong, what does that person do?"
"duck."
"chef?"
"A face-sitter."
silence.
"In an hour, I'm sure I can find someone."
Still no comment.
If it is a regular profession, it would be a bit troublesome to find someone, but if it is a flesh trade, Tan Wenjie only needs to make a phone call to Wu Ying and Lao K and he will be able to find it out.
Sure enough, within fifteen minutes, Wu Ying called back and gave a detailed address and even a price list.
After receiving the news from her lover, Zhong Xiaomei got up and said goodbye and left.
She was pressed for time, so she had to first talk to her lover about the Book of Life and Death, and then make him willingly marry her.
Seeing his younger sister leave for her lover, Zhong Kui sighed.
Tan Wenjie brought the wine at the right time.
The two sides drank a few glasses in silence.
"My little sister has been married 18 times. She must get married this time in order to be reincarnated."
"As far as I know, that brother should not refuse to get married." said Tan Wenjie.
What he said was quite tactful. According to Wu Ying, that guy was famous for loving money. In his eyes, there was no difference between beautiful and ugly women, all he cared about was whether or not a woman had money.
As long as you give enough money, the other party will definitely get married happily.
Zhong Kui then said, "I stole the Book of Life and Death and fled to the mortal world. I have lost most of my magical powers. The Ghost Judge wants me dead, and he will definitely take this opportunity to make sure that my little sister and I will never be reincarnated. If I stay here, you might be affected."
"I have borrowed the magic power of the ancestor before, and now I have no choice but to help."
"That's not me."
Meeting Tan Wenjie's surprised look, he laughed, "Do you really think I can't see it?"
"What's the difference between you and those Kuiye?"
"Very different, all different." Zhong Kui leaned on the sofa and drank heavily, "but all the same."
"don't know."
Tan Wenjie shook his head. He hated the riddle segment the most.
Zhong Kui said, "You have already guessed it."
Tan Wenjie was silent.
"I've also seen a swordsman who looks exactly like you and has the same drinking style. Is it you?" He was referring to Yan Chixia.
Zhong Kui nodded: "It's me."
"You admit it without even thinking about it?"
"Looks like me, drinks like me, that's me."
Seeing Tan Wenjie frowning in thought, Zhong Kui said, "There is a saying that goes, 'Beyond the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, your name is not in the Book of Life and Death. If you can do that, there will be no one like you in the world. From now on, there will only be one you.'"
"You can't do it?"
“Have you not heard my story? I must cultivate to become an immortal.” Zhong Kui waved his sleeves, “I am a god. Now that I have violated the heavenly law, my magic power has been cut in half. If I didn’t have this sword…”
A ghost-slaying sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and divine light flashed.
After a pause, Zhong Kui continued, "Even ordinary little ghosts can hurt me."
Tan Wenjie seemed to be thinking: "So, passing the magic test is not a good thing."
"You passed the devil's test? I haven't heard of a cultivator who passed the devil's test in hundreds of years." Zhong Kui was surprised, "Which deity was the chief examiner?"
"The Fire Official Dongyang Emperor."
"What position?"
"Ghost Judge."
Facing Zhong Kui's gaze, he guessed, "Maybe it's because I asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for help, so it's easier to arrange a position for you guys."
He gave a Huowang robot toy to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's godson and took on the sin of helping the mother and son reunite, so Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who doted on his son, gave him a chance to pass the test.
"Why don't you die now and report to the underworld?" Zhong Kui suggested, "Become a ghost judge and manage thousands of little ghosts. It's better than that bastard fighting with me all day long!"
"I haven't lived enough. I won't go."
After listening to Zhong Kui's words, he lost interest in becoming a god. After being deified, his abilities greatly increased, but his magic power would be weakened because he violated the heavenly rules.
A pure worker who is bound.
It’s better to become an immortal. If you hold on, there will always be a chance.
More than an hour later, Zhong Xiaomei came back for help, but her lover was not willing to marry her.
Tan Wenjie took out his phone and called Wu Ying.
It's just a marriage, there's no need for a marriage certificate.
One hundred thousand bucks, done.
The guy on the other end was overjoyed and called his wife over the phone, showing great professionalism.
Zhong Xiaomei was also happy to have her lover back.
But Zhong Kui was not very happy.
They left, leaving Tan Wenjie alone at home.
"That doesn't make sense. It didn't even increase the favorability at all."
