Strange Tale

Vulcan held the handle of the knife on Long Jiu's chest with both hands.Soon the exposed part of the handle began to change color.Long Jiu had a serious look on his face and grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, then his face was pale and sweat was pouring down, and finally he closed his eyes tightly and pinched the edge of the bed with a bang.Concubine Mi at the side could clearly smell the smell of burnt flesh.

"Okay." Vulcan finally spit out these two words and let go of his hand.

The Shendi dagger with only the handle left fell to the ground, and a pool of liquid with metallic luster dripped from the wound on Long Jiu's chest and solidified instantly on the ground.Enduring the severe pain from being burned, Long Jiu immediately cast a spell and poured real water on it.The mass of things shattered into several pieces in an instant, and there was no god in the world anymore.

Concubine Mi walked to the door, "Tianshui will come in half an hour, the one with you called Yechang should already be waiting outside the city gate."

"Wait!" Long Jiu called to stop her.

Concubine Mi turned her head, "Is there anything else?"

"Hmm... can someone bring me a suit that fits me?"

It's raining.Long Jiu changed his clothes and left the city lord's mansion, holding an oil-paper umbrella, calmly walked through the tower to the outside of the city gate.

Sure enough, Ye Chang was already there, and when he saw Long Jiu, he ran over, "That woman is really willing to let you go?!"

Long Jiu couldn't hold on anymore, grabbed Yechang's arm to support his body, "Hurry up...go to Jicuitan in the direction of Yancheng."

The rain was still falling, and the newly born Long Jiu walked out of the pool and put on his clothes again.

"Yechang, you go back to Yancheng immediately, and Dudu's mother brought 3000 troops and the Injured Army to station in the eastern suburb of Lingcheng and wait for me."

"What else do you want to do?" Ye often held Long Jiu back.

"Now I know why Si Ren calculated that there will be floods in the city of no return."

"Huh?" I often didn't understand anymore.

Long Jiu patted him on the shoulder to express comfort, "Anyway, don't ask so many questions, just do as I tell you."

He often stared into Long Jiu's eyes for a while, "Okay, then you should be careful."

You still want to fold your sleeves and refuse to go any further, "Cough...I can only send you here, if I go any further, I will die and go back to the underworld."

Long Jiu looked up at the gloomy gatehouse without looking back, "I have something to ask you."

"please say."

"Did you all know that Si Ren has a part of Yi's soul?"

"Ahem..." Youqi only coughed dryly twice.

Long Jiu continued to ask: "Black and White Wuchang asked you to send Huan'er to Si Ren, did you intend to have a chance to get rid of me?"

There is still a period of silence.

Long Jiu turned back slowly, the fire in his eyes flickered, "I'm asking you something."

Still trembling for a while, "Yes. But...without the instructions from above, they probably wouldn't dare to make decisions on their own."

Long Jiu turned around and looked at the gatehouse again, "Then when you see black and white impermanence, ask them to tell Yama of the Ten Palaces for me: I don't want Jiuying to make trouble in the underworld, so don't meddle in Yi's affairs in the future. Otherwise, I will break through the [-]th floor of hell and burn it to death." Break the Naihe Bridge and Wangxiang Terrace, suck up the three-way Wangchuan, and let there be no peace in the world! Get out."

There is still time to disappear without a sound.Long Jiu stepped into the gate of hell.

Along the way, there are many lonely souls and wild ghosts who either have unfulfilled wishes, or have not yet reached the end of their lives, or died of injustice.Some of them seemed to be newcomers who were crying, and some were unwilling to yell, but most of them still wandered around blankly.

Soon we arrived at the Santu River, where the bloody manjusawa on both banks filled the sky and covered the sky with the fragrance of flowers.Although he had heard about the extraordinary splendor of the Huozhao Road, after all, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Long Jiu was completely overwhelmed by its unspeakable beauty.Knowing that the fragrance of flowers from the other side can evoke memories before death, Long Jiu couldn't help but squat down and pick a flower and put it under his nose.

After lingering for a long time, Long Jiu reluctantly got up and left towards Wangchuan.

Stepping on the Naihe Bridge and hurriedly crossing the Wangchuan River, Longjiu saw Wangxiangtai from a distance.Just as he was about to go further, he was startled when someone tapped him on the shoulder suddenly.

Long Jiu turned around and saw a familiar face, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Ling'er, I finally waited for you..." Tears flowed from the eyes of the person who patted him.

Linger?What kind of disgusting name is this? !Long Jiu was about to get angry, but was surprised to find that he couldn't move or make a sound.The next moment Long Jiu opened his mouth, but what he said was totally different from what he wanted to say.

"Fool, how many times have I told you that I am not Zhou Ling, the crown prince of the Teng Kingdom, but the Dazai's son, Long Chen."

Long Jiu remembered: that person is Crown Prince Yan, Ji Dan!He actually... has been waiting by the Naihe Bridge? !

Probably because it was on the road to Huangquan, Chen's soul gradually awakened, and just now he heard a lot of manzhushahua, and Jiuying's power has weakened, so seeing Ji Dan, Chen temporarily regained control over his body.

"Okay, whoever you are is fine, as long as you come. Come on, let's go." Ji Dan took Chen's hand.

"Where are you going?" Chen was led by him in the direction of Wangxiang Terrace in a daze.

"Many people will forget the past after staying here for a long time. I was afraid that I would forget you, so I just sat there and waited for you." Ji Dan pointed to the side, "Now that you are here, I don't have to wait any longer. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? I heard that there is a soup place nearby, let’s go, let’s drink soup together, and then we can be reincarnated as human beings.”

Jiuying looked in the direction of Ji Dan's finger. It was a large stone beside the Naihe Bridge, with three large characters on it——Sansheng Stone.

Oops!Ji Dan wants to take Chen to drink Mengpo soup!Jiuying tried hard to regain control of Chen's body, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't, as if he had never existed.But at this moment, Chen can move freely and is no longer affected by him at all.

Sure enough, Ji Dan brought Long Chen to Yunwangtai, where a young and beautiful woman was standing in front of a huge pot and stove, serving bowl after bowl of soup.Many people are waiting, a long queue.

Shouldn't Po Meng be an old woman?Jiuying was puzzled.

Ji Dan pulled Long Chen to stand in the queue waiting for Tang.

Jiuying couldn't let Chen leave, so he had to look around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure not far ahead - Si Ren.

Small blade!Small blade!Jiuying tried all her strength, but she just couldn't make a sound, like falling into a nightmare.He finally felt Chen's pain now.

Just not knowing what to do, the young woman holding the soup walked straight up to Long Chen with a bowl of soup, "My lord, this journey has not been easy, I must be thirsty."

Don't drink!Jiuying yelled, but no one could hear him.

Ji Dan took the soup bowl and put it in Long Chen's hands, "Drink it."

Long Chen stared straight at Tang Fudo and didn't speak, Jiuying couldn't know what he was thinking now.It was really impossible, so Jiuying had no choice but to try to communicate with Chen directly: Chen!can you hear me? !I know you can hear me.Please, don't drink the ecstasy soup!Don't drink it!Did you forget what you promised me?I did everything you asked me to do!You believe in me, I will definitely leave your soul and return your body to you!Don't drink that soup!I beg you!

"Ah—"

With a sharp pain in his chest, Long Chen suddenly squatted down on the ground and knocked over the soup bowl.

Jiuying finally regained consciousness.

Standing up again, Chen became Long Jiu again.The first thing Long Jiu did was to jump up to Si Ren, who he had just seen, drag him and run away.But after running a few steps, Long Jiu realized that someone was holding him back desperately. He thought it was Ji Dan, and turned around to say that he would come to him again, but found that it was Meng Po who was following behind.And the moment Long Jiu turned his head, the young and beautiful Granny Meng turned into a wrinkled and haggard old woman.

Although Long Jiu had seen similar changes in Dudu Diwan countless times, and this was what Po Meng should look like in his mind, he was still taken aback for a moment.

"Hmph, brat, I've been staring at you since you came in! How dare you be presumptuous?!"

Po Meng looks thin and dry, but her strength is astonishing.Long Jiu struggled for a while but couldn't get away, a group of green-faced and fang-toothed evil spirits came out from under his feet and surrounded him.The souls who waited in line for Tang just now fled in all directions, and Ji Dan disappeared.

Long Jiu saw that the situation was not good, first took out the brocade bag that Dudu Wan had given him, and stuffed Si Ren's soul into his bosom.

"Well, you are a bold madman! How dare you go to Huangquan Road to collect your soul?!" It was a green-faced ghost who spoke this time.

"Do you know who I am?!" Long Jiu glanced around: those around him were said to be ghosts, but in fact they all had errands in the underworld.He didn't want to waste time and pester them too much, so he planned to scare them off by saying his name and that's it.

The green-faced ghost didn't agree, "I don't care who you are! Even the Jade Emperor Tathagata Buddha can't just break my rules on Huangquan Road!"

"Hmph, you don't have to drink a toast." Long Jiu was a little annoyed, with a few strands of messy hair floating on his head, "Look, I'm not a god or Buddha! I'm not bound by heaven's rules! Just rely on you ghosts and snakes Human head and horse face? In my eyes, farts are nothing! Come on! Let me see if you ugly bastards can be more capable than those dog-like heavenly soldiers and generals!"

Before he finished speaking, Long Jiu stomped his feet, and the ground under his feet cracked. He raised his hand again, and the fire of Abi Hell was attracted from the crack.

"Hahahaha! Let me go to see King Pingping!" Long Jiu waved his arm and was about to set fire.

Po Meng and all the ghosts were dumbfounded, and the green-faced ghost was about to turn into a white-faced ghost.

"Nine Infants Divine Lord show mercy!"

With a shout accompanied by the sound of clattering from far to near, Long Jiu put away the fire in time and turned his head to look: it turned out to be Impermanence in Black and White.

The ghosts moved out of the way, Long Jiu couldn't figure out Wuchang's intention, so he tensed his body and put his hands behind his back.Hei Wuchang stopped at a distance of ninety steps away from Long Jiu.

Hei Wuchang hung the big iron chain that never left his body, and made a "please" gesture, "We are ordered by King Qin Guang to send you away from Huangquan Road."
