Underworld Character Simulator [Liao Zhai]
Chapter 106
After Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan left the underworld that day, they did not return to Dongting Lake with Lord Dongting, but temporarily stayed in a town, waiting for news from Yan Chixia and Chen Su.
When they split up that day, they agreed that if Yan Chixia and Chen Su found any clues or encountered anything, they would write to them immediately.As a result, the wait was three days.
Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan did not wait for Yan Chixia and Chen Su's reply, but waited at the hotel for a ghost messenger to deliver the letter.
It was late at night, the windows were open, and the moonlight poured in like water.
On the table, a square ebony box was quietly placed there.Inside is a glowing red heart, beating abruptly.People only feel strange and disgusting when they see it.
After all, although the heart is an important part of human life, its appearance after being dug out is really unattractive.
When Gu Yunchu heard that this was sent by the ghost messenger from Erlang Zhenjun, he just felt dazed, and his mind was full of... what the hell is this?
If it is for rewarding them, they will be happy to accept dung such as gold, silver and jewelry, and they will not dislike you if you send a pennant and a few words of praise. Even if you send some chickens, ducks and geese, it is already winter. She also happened to come to stew a big goose in an iron pot, but what do you mean by sending a heart?
Because the gratitude in my heart is beyond words, I took it out and delivered it directly, so that she and Ao Yan can see your grateful heart with their own eyes?
Fortunately, Zhenjun Erlang also asked the ghost messenger to send a letter. After reading this letter, Gu Yunchu finally understood.
Zhenjun Erlang's move was not to thank them at all, but to ask them to help with work.
In the letter, Zhenjun Erlang first explained the arrangements and compensations made by the underworld for Wang Lan and Xi Fangping.
Afterwards, some of the situations discovered through the thorough investigation of the underworld recently were explained.
It turns out that Yin Baicheng does have contacts with the Yin Gods of the underworld. Maybe some Yin Baicheng just "loosened" Yin Baicheng for the sake of old feelings, but Yin Baicheng is old and cunning, and there is no wind. Chinami, these special treatment also contributed to his expansion of ambition.Let him have a chance.
There are also some Yin gods who have colluded with Yin Baicheng purely for their own interests. Most of them are sellers or buyers in the interest chain of buying and selling officials.
During a thorough investigation by the underworld, it was discovered that the so-called Gongsun Xia was basically a ghost from Yinbai City.This guy may not have high magic power, but he has a clever mouth, and he can talk to people when he sees people, and he can talk nonsense when he sees people.All those greedy, incompetent Yin gods are connected in series.
Smarter ones, for example, Xue Wei, the patrol envoy of Wudu, was able to become friends with Yin Baicheng through Gongsun Xia's introduction, and to put it bluntly, they were partners of interests.
And the stupider Yin God indirectly helps Yin Baicheng in this interest chain, but he doesn't even know who Yin Baicheng is.
As for how this little brat, Gongsun Xia, was able to manipulate this matter, it was not discovered until today?
This has to mention the water mangcao incident.
Water mang grass does not talk about karma, whoever is caught will harm whom, regardless of the good fortune and retribution of your previous life, if you become a water mang ghost and want to reincarnate, you will have to harm others. Wouldn't this fate become a mess?
Because of this reason, people in the world abandon water and reckless grass like shoes, but Yin Baicheng has discerning eyes and discerns the power of this poisonous weed at a glance.
As long as those who are supposed to be kings of hell, judges, and city gods are poisoned to death with water mangosteen, won't this position be vacated for a while?At that time, if he uses a little trick, he will naturally be able to place people in these positions.
It might be a bit difficult at first, but as this chain of interests grows larger and more and more Yin Gods collude with Yin Baicheng, buying and selling officials is as easy as drinking water.
And what the hell are those who paid a lot of money to sit on the official position?
They also knew that it would not be a good thing. They spent a lot of money on their own, and felt uncomfortable, so they had to search for money from the people of the ghost town, so the bribery incident came about.
This is how the atmosphere of the underworld is gradually spoiled by these moths!
Yin Baicheng has gained great benefits because of this incident. If he hadn't been trapped in the Ten Thousand Grottoes, he would have stirred up wind and rain in the underworld and the world hundreds of years earlier.
It's just that what the greedy Yin Gods didn't expect was that Yin Baicheng's ambitions were much greater than they imagined.
What he wanted was never to live comfortably in Wanshi Grottoes, nor was it the care of the Yin Gods and gold, silver and jewelry, and he didn't even care about this chain of interests.After all, even if you eat and drink spicy food in Wanshi Grottoes, wouldn't you still be in prison?
He is an ambitious skeleton, so a real man will naturally bravely venture into the world, become the skeleton king, win Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of bone life!
So when he found out that the situation was wrong, he immediately fled the golden cicada's shell, and decisively overturned the stall that he had built in the underworld for so many years.Backhanding at the teammates Yinshen is a wave of backstabs.
Most of the Yinshen who committed the crime are currently in custody.Only a very small number of Yin Gods escaped.
This is what Erlang Zhenjun asked Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan to do.
Among them, one of the people who colluded with Yinbaicheng was a judge surnamed Lu, who exchanged the innocent heart of a man named Zhu Erdan with an ordinary literary heart. Originally, Yinbaicheng wanted this heart, but he has not Give it to Yin Baicheng, and they have already run away ahead of time.
The judge surnamed Lu was in the human world at that time, when he saw a ghost sent to arrest him, he also ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.So the innocent heart hidden in the judge's residence was left behind.
Because the underworld is more chaotic and lacks manpower, Zhenjun Erlang hopes that Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan can help return this heart to Zhu Erdan, and deal with the mess made by Judge Lu.
When Gu Yunchu first saw Zhenjun Erlang asking them for help, he had 1 rejections in his heart.
What are you kidding, she has not been admitted to the fairyland yet, so let her work part-time?
If you don't do it, you can't work part-time. You can only eat at home and wait to die.
But after seeing what was said in the letter, Gu Yunchu immediately changed his mind.She folded up the letter paper and did a poor job of the ghost.
"Please reassure Zhenjun Erlang, I will take this job!"
In the morning, the sun shines into the house.
Zhu Erdan spoke.
"Why do you wake up so early?"
Mrs. Zhu looked at her husband enviously.
"I woke up when I couldn't sleep. Where are you going, Xianggong?"
Zhu Erdan straightened his sleeves.
"I went to the temple to have a look. For some reason, Brother Lu has never been here for three consecutive days."
Madam Zhu's complexion changed a bit.
"That one is the magistrate of the underworld after all, he must be busy with his affairs, maybe he just forgot it for a while, can't we bother?"
Zhu Erdan said indifferently when he heard the words.
"That's someone else, I'm brother Lu's best friend, he won't be angry."
Mrs. Zhu grabbed his sleeve, making a noise like a mosquito.
"That master judge is a ghost after all, didn't your friend who met you before also say that you should respect ghosts and gods and stay away..."
"What are you talking about? Fang Yuan just said some sour words because he didn't make friends with Brother Lu."
Zhu Erdan sneered, with a hint of contempt and arrogance towards his former friends in his eyes.He admonished his wife unceremoniously.
"If I don't make good friends with Brother Lu, how can I get my current literary talents, where can you get your current good life and such beauty. As long as I keep making good friends with Brother Lu, the good days in the future are yet to come. Don't talk about such nonsense. Besides. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be ungrateful? Do you remember?”
Mrs. Zhu seemed to lose all strength in grabbing her husband's hand and let it go slowly.She bowed her head.
"I...I know."
Only then was Zhu Erdan satisfied, turned around and left quickly.Little did he know that tears and pain flashed in his wife's eyes as she watched him go away.
She slowly sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror, and slowly touched the red line-shaped scar on her neck with her hands, the pain in her eyes was even heavier.
She really didn't know what went wrong.
It is right to respect ghosts and gods and keep a distance. They are just mortals, so they can live a good life. Why does my husband insist on being friends with a ghost in the underworld?
Saying that you can't be ungrateful, but this... is this really graciousness?
Mrs. Zhu only felt that in just half a month, she was tired from the previous 20 years.
The husband who used to be bold and straightforward suddenly became smart. He was brilliant in writing and eloquent. This should have been a good thing, but he gradually began to look down on his former close friends, and threw the stupid words that outsiders laughed at him at his friends.
Seeing her husband blindly befriending the vicious and terrifying Judge Lu, Mrs. Zhu wanted to persuade her, but her husband who had loved her so much did not listen at all.
The most frightening thing was that when she suddenly woke up one day, she found that she had changed her head!
In the bronze mirror, Mrs. Zhu's tears slowly rolled down. She still remembered the horror of finding out that she had changed her head and her face was covered with blood scabs.But what about her husband?
Her husband laughed, and touched her face excitedly.As if a gift, he told her that she was good in everything, but her face was not beautiful enough, so he specially asked Judge Lu to help, moved her knife and axe, and changed her head.
At that moment, Mrs. Zhu couldn't tell what mood she was in, she just felt that her heart was like falling into an ice cave, numb from the cold.
So it turns out that her husband who loves her so much thinks of her like this?
It turned out that the head of his wife that he disliked was not beautiful, but could it be replaced?
That's her head!
It was made of her flesh and blood!
But it happened that the man she loved the most was beheaded, discarded, and buried without her knowing it.She didn't even know where Judge Lu dropped her head!
Later, the parents of this beautiful head found Wu Shiyu, whose daughter died tragically a few days ago.Because of this head, Wu Shiyu and his wife recognized her as their goddaughter.
As a result, her husband has a brilliant literary talent, and with the help of his godfather and mother, their family suddenly became rich, and everyone said that her good days are coming.
But Mrs. Zhu only felt that what happened in just half a month was so absurd and uninhibited. She touched the red thread-shaped scar on her neck, thinking that her head had been beheaded without knowing it, and that her head was being cut off right now. Where it stinks and rots, I only feel pain in my neck like hallucinations, and my whole body is shivering with cold.
Tick tock, a tear fell on the table.
Mrs. Zhu looked at the strange herself in the bronze mirror with tears in her eyes.
If this is a nightmare, gods and Buddhas all over the sky, please wake up to me quickly.
Suddenly, a little maid knocked on the door.
Mrs. Zhu quickly wiped away her tears and returned to her usual gentle and virtuous smile.
"Come in, what's the matter?"
The little maid said crisply that someone was looking for the master, but the master was not there.
Madam Zhu asked suspiciously.
"Who is it?"
The little maid thought about it.
"It's a good-looking man and woman, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and they don't look like ordinary people. The woman is holding a box in her hand, saying that the master's things are here with her, and she wants to return them. master."
Mrs. Zhu was taken aback, but after hearing this description, she didn't even know who it was.However, I was still skeptical and prepared to see it.
When she arrived at the main room, she saw a handsome man and a woman.The man was tall and tall, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his aura made Mrs. Zhu dare not look at it after a glance. The other girl was wearing a light yellow dress, beautiful and agile, with a chic look between her brows. The two stood At the same time, there is a tacit understanding that no one else can get in.
Gu Yunchu, who came all night, raised his eyes and saw Mrs. Zhu's beautiful face with dimples, and then moved his gaze down to the other party's neck.
"You are Mrs. Zhu?"
"Yes, I am."
Mrs. Zhu met her gaze, and subconsciously grabbed her high collar, which was obviously blocked by the collar, but she felt that the girl's eyes seemed to have seen the red line through the clothes.
"Who are you. My husband never mentioned you to me."
The pretty girl smiled.
"Zhu Erdan doesn't know us. We don't know him either. It's just that someone asked us to return his lost things."
It was strange to say this, Madam Zhu looked at the box suspiciously.
"What did my husband lose?"
Gu Yunchu smiled.
"He lost his innocence."
This sounds even more strange.For a moment, the little maid's eyes changed instantly.
The left eye says 'Looking like this is a charlatan? '
On the right eye, it says 'I've seen this one, but you don't have any money, go and cheat the next one! '
Even Mrs. Zhu's eyes moved slightly.After thinking about it, he took out a few pieces of silver from his purse and asked the little maid to send it over, while showing a gentle and friendly smile.
"The son and the girl don't look like people who are short of money. If you encounter difficulties for a while, I still have a little money. If you can help, please feel welcome."
The little maid was a little reluctant to hold the money.
"lady……"
Mrs. Zhu just gave her a look.
The little maid reluctantly walked towards Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan, still muttering.
"What can you do with hands and feet, come here to be a liar, and still have a heart? Pooh, I also said that I have a black heart that you two have lost!"
Gu Yunchu; & Ao Yan: ...
But I don't blame the little maid for dismissing Gu Yunchu so much, it's because she didn't pay attention to her words.It's like someone walking on the road, and another person suddenly said from behind.
Dude, you dropped something.
The man turned his head and said thank you quickly, then looked down to see what he had lost.
As a result, the people behind said loudly: "You dropped your noble character to the ground!" '
At this time, anyone would roll their eyes fiercely, and then curse secretly, Ma De is mentally retarded!
After Gu Yunchu realized it, he hurriedly said.
"What I'm saying is true."
She didn't look at the broken silver handed over by the little maid, but looked at Mrs. Zhu.
"Dare to ask Madam, do you know that your husband recently met a good friend, who is the judge of the underworld. Judge Lu gave your husband Zhu Erdan a heart of wisdom, so Zhu Erdan became full of articles overnight. And you... If my guess is correct, there is a red mark on your neck, which is because your upper head is not your own."
Gu Yunchu's original intention was to convince Mrs. Zhu to believe her words, but she saw that Mrs. Zhu's expression did not change, and the little girl put her hands on her hips angrily.
"You charlatan, even if you want to deceive people, you still say something powerful. Isn't this already known?! What's there to say, if you don't have real skills, just take the money and leave!"
This doesn't work either?
Gu Yunchu was taken aback for a moment. After many years, she couldn't remember the details of Lu Pan's story clearly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Finally she scratched her face.
"Well, it seems that it is impossible not to show you the real ability. My box really has a heart. I can show it to you, but I am afraid of scaring you."
The little maid immediately raised her head and sneered.
"I'm afraid it's not a pig's heart or a cow's heart that I bought casually. Who would be afraid of these crappy things?"
As he opened the box impatiently, he was going to expose Gu Yunchu, a liar's lie.
Unexpectedly, when the box was opened, there was a glowing red heart beating rhythmically inside.
"what!"
The little maid was startled, and the hand holding the box shook violently.
Ao Yan, who was silent on the side, made a move immediately, and caught the box that almost fell to the ground.
Gu Yunchu took it over to make sure that the innocent heart inside was intact, and then he was relieved.
"Fortunately, it didn't break. If it breaks, then I'm afraid I'll have to find a pig's heart for your master."
Gu Yunchu's words are not false, the literary heart that Zhu Erdan is using now must be taken away, because although this heart is literary, it is more greedy and lustful, and it is not a good thing in short.
Because this world is relatively idealistic, the heart is the main body that controls human emotions, not the brain, so Mrs. Zhu's change of head is only a change of appearance, but after Zhu Erdan changed his heart, his personality changed drastically.This is all brought about by this literary heart.
And this literary heart must be taken away. If Zhu Erdan's original heart is broken, there is really no substitute for it for a while.But people will die if they don't care...
Holding a pig's heart for the time being is better than dying, right?
Pig: Are you polite? .JPG
The little maid was quite frightened, but Mrs. Zhu's eyes flashed brightly.She took a few steps forward, looking at the beating heart in the box in amazement.
"This... this is really..."
Gu Yunchu nodded.
"That's right, this is your husband Zhu Erdan's original heart."
Mrs. Zhu burst into tears.
"As long as I change it back, my husband will return to his original appearance, right?"
Gu Yunchu nodded again.
"Yes, but after he transforms back, the literary talent of these days will also disappear."
Mrs. Zhu shook her head to express that she didn't care. After all, when she married Zhu Erdan, she knew that his literary talent was not very good.
"It's just... I'm afraid he won't want to."
Gu Yunchu said coldly when he heard the words.
"Whether he likes it or not, that heart is not his, and he must return it. Let me tell you the truth, that judge Lu is not a good person. He is wanted by the underworld for committing a crime. He changed Zhu Erdan's heart." , not for Zhu Erdan's good, but to steal Zhu Erdan's innocent heart. Zhu Erdan has a pure heart, even if he doesn't go far in learning, but if he accumulates virtue and does good deeds, the benefits in the future will be countless, but if he And with that heart of ungratefulness and indifference, even if he can become an official in a short period of time, the end will definitely be very bad."
This is not Gu Yunchu's alarmist talk, but the original owner of that literary heart is like this, greedy and innocent in the officialdom, and finally ended up being beheaded for public display.
Zhu Erdan was controlled by that heart and changed his nature. It is very likely that that person will walk the same path in the future.
Madam Zhu's complexion turned pale when she heard this.Thinking of her husband who has become more and more strange recently, she finally gritted her teeth.After informing Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan, Zhu Erdan went to the nearby Hades Hall.
This Hall of the King of Hades is not the Hall of the King of Hades in the underworld, but a temple dedicated to the King of Hades in the world. There is a wooden statue of Judge Lu with a green face and red beard inside.
Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan immediately took the box and rushed over there. Mrs. Zhu wiped away her tears, but unexpectedly followed with the little maid.
When they went to the temple, they saw Zhu Erdan in it as expected, wiping the dust on Lu Pan's statue diligently with a cloth, saying something from time to time.Ask him why he hasn't shown up yet.
Gu Yunchu strode in at this moment.
"Don't waste your time. Judge Lu committed a crime and has already been dismissed from his official position by the underworld. He is fleeing here and there now, so I don't have time to pay attention to you!"
Seeing two strangers, Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan, Zhu Erdan frowned.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who we are, you just need to know that the underworld entrusted us here."
Gu Yunchu held the box in his hand and said.
"Back then Judge Lu stole a literary heart from the underworld to replace it with you. He wanted to take away your innocent heart. Now your heart is in this box. Let us exchange it for you."
"Change?"
Zhu Erdan's pupils shrank.
"I don't change!"
His heart is full of literary talents, and his articles are natural, and he will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future. Only a fool will change his dull heart!
Ao Yan frowned.
"You don't want to change because your heart doesn't want to change now, it's not your own wish. You should think about it carefully."
After all, Zhu Erdan is a person with the heart of a child, and Ao Yan knows that he is just confused by that literary heart, so his tone is quite gentle.
But Zhu Erdan didn't think so.
"I use my heart very well, so I don't need to think about it!"
He seemed to be terrified. Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan changed his heart back, and he turned around quickly and wanted to run away.
In the end, before he ran a few steps, he saw Ao Yan standing in front of him at some point in the distance.He hurriedly turned around again, Gu Yunchu raised the knife in one hand and dropped it, directly anesthetized.
Zhu Erdan rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and immediately passed out on the ground.
"Master!"
Mrs. Zhu, who came one step behind, covered her mouth in shock.
Gu Yunchu turned his head to tell her not to worry, but just passed out.Then he said with a smile.
"Okay, now you can change his mind with peace of mind."
Ao Yan raised the sword in his hand and cut a hole in Zhu Erdan's chest, only to see a heart mobilized inside, faintly lingering with black air.
Gu Yunchu blinked.
[I'm so good, it turns out that I really have a black heart. 】
The severed heart was placed in the box, and then Gu Yunchu picked up the innocent heart, and then suddenly stopped.
Ao Yan raised her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yunchu looked at the chest cavity, and then at the childlike heart in his hand.
"Um...how is this heart placed? Which blood vessel is against which blood vessel?"
Ao Yan paused.He hesitated for a moment.
"Should... just let it go casually? After giving that tone, it should be able to grow well by itself."
That's right, it's the world of Liao Zhai after all, and such rough ways of changing hearts can appear, so you don't need to care about these details at this time.
Gu Yunchu nodded, and confidently stuffed the heart into Zhu Erdan's chest, then Ao Yan closed the wound, took out a small porcelain bottle, and put some air into Zhu Erdan's wound from the porcelain bottle.
That is the fairy energy given by the underworld, but it can kill human flesh and bones.
As expected, Zhu Erdan's wound healed, and he sat up immediately.When he saw the two of them, he showed a big smile.
Mrs. Zhu was overjoyed and rushed over to hug Zhu Erdan who was sitting on the ground.
"Sanggong, you have finally changed back, Xianggong!"
"That's not good!"
Gu Yunchu smiled triumphantly.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
Zhu Erdan had a smile on his face: "Hey hey."
Mrs. Zhu paused, and slowly let go of her hand. "Sister-in-law?"
The little maid: "Master?"
Zhu Erdan was still sitting on the ground. "Hey hey."
A trace of crystal saliva slowly slipped from the corner of his mouth to the ground.
Crowd: ...
For a moment, the entire hall was dead silent, Madam Zhu looked at Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan in horror and tears.
"Didn't you agree that you can change back if you change your heart?"
Is this changing back?
Has this gone too far? !
The little maid panicked and said: "That's right, you are talking about changing back, but my master was a little stupid before, but...but he is not so stupid!"
To say that Zhu Erdan was stupid before, he was indeed stupid, after all, no normal person would have a drink with friends in the middle of the night, because with a few words, he could go to the Palace of Hades and carry the statue of Judge Lu away.
But there is no such thing!
Gu Yunchu shuddered, and quickly anesthetized Zhu Erdan again with a hand knife.
"... Cough, I'm sorry, it seems that there may be a small error in the installation process, please don't worry, we will study it later."
As she spoke, she gave Ao Yan a look.
What if you just blow your breath and grow up by yourself?
What's going on here?
Ao Yan looked back helplessly: He is not a professional in the underworld. If you ask Xingyunbuyu, he knows a little bit more. If you ask this... how would he know!
Gu Yunchu guessed that the location of the installation might be wrong, so he asked Ao Yan to cut Zhu Erdan's chest again. This time, she faced the broken blood vessels seriously and began to put them together.
It took a full cup of tea to speak. "Try blowing again."
Ao Yan took out the porcelain bottle as she said, and released a little fairy energy.
The next moment, Zhu Erdan stood up again.Mrs. Zhu whispered. "Sister-in-law?"
Zhu Erdan was taken aback for a moment, but also hesitated. "lady?"
Madam Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, hugging him and weeping with joy.
"Msanggong, that's great, you've changed back!"
Zhu Erdan was also extremely happy.
"Yeah, that's great, I've changed back. Hahaha. It's really hard for you these days, hahaha, I can't help you, madam."
"It's good that you change back, it's good that you change back."
Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Sanggong, why do you keep laughing? Take a break, don't laugh too much."
Jurdan grinned.
"Hahaha, I...hahaha, I don't know, I...hahaha, I can't stop."
In an instant, there was another silence in the hall, only Zhu Erdan's uncontrollable laughter filled the hall.
Mrs. Zhu said again in grief and indignation.
"What you said will come back!"
The little maid also shouted.
"Even if my master used to smile silly all the time, he never laughed so silly!"
Once born and twice cooked.
Gu Yunchu physically anesthetized poor Zhu Erdan with a knife in his hand.
"... Cough, there may be something that hasn't been installed properly. Don't worry, I'll find out how I feel."
After the third time.
Zhu Erdan woke up again, with three scars like red lines on his chest, this time he stopped laughing and cried instead, tears dripping down uncontrollably.Together with Mrs. Zhu and the little maid, she looked at Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan with red eyes and complained.
Mrs. Zhu said painfully: "The agreement will be changed back."
The little maid said angrily: "My master didn't cry so much before."
Zhu Erdan clutched his chest and said in grief and indignation: "Three times, you have drawn three red marks horizontally, are you going to do it three times vertically to form a nine-square grid?"
She didn't know it would be like this.
The world is not scientific when it should be scientific. Why do you care so much about details at this time?
Gu Yunchu scratched his head in pain.
"That... Well, we didn't prepare in advance, or you can just make it up like this first, and let's go and learn first?"
When they split up that day, they agreed that if Yan Chixia and Chen Su found any clues or encountered anything, they would write to them immediately.As a result, the wait was three days.
Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan did not wait for Yan Chixia and Chen Su's reply, but waited at the hotel for a ghost messenger to deliver the letter.
It was late at night, the windows were open, and the moonlight poured in like water.
On the table, a square ebony box was quietly placed there.Inside is a glowing red heart, beating abruptly.People only feel strange and disgusting when they see it.
After all, although the heart is an important part of human life, its appearance after being dug out is really unattractive.
When Gu Yunchu heard that this was sent by the ghost messenger from Erlang Zhenjun, he just felt dazed, and his mind was full of... what the hell is this?
If it is for rewarding them, they will be happy to accept dung such as gold, silver and jewelry, and they will not dislike you if you send a pennant and a few words of praise. Even if you send some chickens, ducks and geese, it is already winter. She also happened to come to stew a big goose in an iron pot, but what do you mean by sending a heart?
Because the gratitude in my heart is beyond words, I took it out and delivered it directly, so that she and Ao Yan can see your grateful heart with their own eyes?
Fortunately, Zhenjun Erlang also asked the ghost messenger to send a letter. After reading this letter, Gu Yunchu finally understood.
Zhenjun Erlang's move was not to thank them at all, but to ask them to help with work.
In the letter, Zhenjun Erlang first explained the arrangements and compensations made by the underworld for Wang Lan and Xi Fangping.
Afterwards, some of the situations discovered through the thorough investigation of the underworld recently were explained.
It turns out that Yin Baicheng does have contacts with the Yin Gods of the underworld. Maybe some Yin Baicheng just "loosened" Yin Baicheng for the sake of old feelings, but Yin Baicheng is old and cunning, and there is no wind. Chinami, these special treatment also contributed to his expansion of ambition.Let him have a chance.
There are also some Yin gods who have colluded with Yin Baicheng purely for their own interests. Most of them are sellers or buyers in the interest chain of buying and selling officials.
During a thorough investigation by the underworld, it was discovered that the so-called Gongsun Xia was basically a ghost from Yinbai City.This guy may not have high magic power, but he has a clever mouth, and he can talk to people when he sees people, and he can talk nonsense when he sees people.All those greedy, incompetent Yin gods are connected in series.
Smarter ones, for example, Xue Wei, the patrol envoy of Wudu, was able to become friends with Yin Baicheng through Gongsun Xia's introduction, and to put it bluntly, they were partners of interests.
And the stupider Yin God indirectly helps Yin Baicheng in this interest chain, but he doesn't even know who Yin Baicheng is.
As for how this little brat, Gongsun Xia, was able to manipulate this matter, it was not discovered until today?
This has to mention the water mangcao incident.
Water mang grass does not talk about karma, whoever is caught will harm whom, regardless of the good fortune and retribution of your previous life, if you become a water mang ghost and want to reincarnate, you will have to harm others. Wouldn't this fate become a mess?
Because of this reason, people in the world abandon water and reckless grass like shoes, but Yin Baicheng has discerning eyes and discerns the power of this poisonous weed at a glance.
As long as those who are supposed to be kings of hell, judges, and city gods are poisoned to death with water mangosteen, won't this position be vacated for a while?At that time, if he uses a little trick, he will naturally be able to place people in these positions.
It might be a bit difficult at first, but as this chain of interests grows larger and more and more Yin Gods collude with Yin Baicheng, buying and selling officials is as easy as drinking water.
And what the hell are those who paid a lot of money to sit on the official position?
They also knew that it would not be a good thing. They spent a lot of money on their own, and felt uncomfortable, so they had to search for money from the people of the ghost town, so the bribery incident came about.
This is how the atmosphere of the underworld is gradually spoiled by these moths!
Yin Baicheng has gained great benefits because of this incident. If he hadn't been trapped in the Ten Thousand Grottoes, he would have stirred up wind and rain in the underworld and the world hundreds of years earlier.
It's just that what the greedy Yin Gods didn't expect was that Yin Baicheng's ambitions were much greater than they imagined.
What he wanted was never to live comfortably in Wanshi Grottoes, nor was it the care of the Yin Gods and gold, silver and jewelry, and he didn't even care about this chain of interests.After all, even if you eat and drink spicy food in Wanshi Grottoes, wouldn't you still be in prison?
He is an ambitious skeleton, so a real man will naturally bravely venture into the world, become the skeleton king, win Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of bone life!
So when he found out that the situation was wrong, he immediately fled the golden cicada's shell, and decisively overturned the stall that he had built in the underworld for so many years.Backhanding at the teammates Yinshen is a wave of backstabs.
Most of the Yinshen who committed the crime are currently in custody.Only a very small number of Yin Gods escaped.
This is what Erlang Zhenjun asked Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan to do.
Among them, one of the people who colluded with Yinbaicheng was a judge surnamed Lu, who exchanged the innocent heart of a man named Zhu Erdan with an ordinary literary heart. Originally, Yinbaicheng wanted this heart, but he has not Give it to Yin Baicheng, and they have already run away ahead of time.
The judge surnamed Lu was in the human world at that time, when he saw a ghost sent to arrest him, he also ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.So the innocent heart hidden in the judge's residence was left behind.
Because the underworld is more chaotic and lacks manpower, Zhenjun Erlang hopes that Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan can help return this heart to Zhu Erdan, and deal with the mess made by Judge Lu.
When Gu Yunchu first saw Zhenjun Erlang asking them for help, he had 1 rejections in his heart.
What are you kidding, she has not been admitted to the fairyland yet, so let her work part-time?
If you don't do it, you can't work part-time. You can only eat at home and wait to die.
But after seeing what was said in the letter, Gu Yunchu immediately changed his mind.She folded up the letter paper and did a poor job of the ghost.
"Please reassure Zhenjun Erlang, I will take this job!"
In the morning, the sun shines into the house.
Zhu Erdan spoke.
"Why do you wake up so early?"
Mrs. Zhu looked at her husband enviously.
"I woke up when I couldn't sleep. Where are you going, Xianggong?"
Zhu Erdan straightened his sleeves.
"I went to the temple to have a look. For some reason, Brother Lu has never been here for three consecutive days."
Madam Zhu's complexion changed a bit.
"That one is the magistrate of the underworld after all, he must be busy with his affairs, maybe he just forgot it for a while, can't we bother?"
Zhu Erdan said indifferently when he heard the words.
"That's someone else, I'm brother Lu's best friend, he won't be angry."
Mrs. Zhu grabbed his sleeve, making a noise like a mosquito.
"That master judge is a ghost after all, didn't your friend who met you before also say that you should respect ghosts and gods and stay away..."
"What are you talking about? Fang Yuan just said some sour words because he didn't make friends with Brother Lu."
Zhu Erdan sneered, with a hint of contempt and arrogance towards his former friends in his eyes.He admonished his wife unceremoniously.
"If I don't make good friends with Brother Lu, how can I get my current literary talents, where can you get your current good life and such beauty. As long as I keep making good friends with Brother Lu, the good days in the future are yet to come. Don't talk about such nonsense. Besides. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be ungrateful? Do you remember?”
Mrs. Zhu seemed to lose all strength in grabbing her husband's hand and let it go slowly.She bowed her head.
"I...I know."
Only then was Zhu Erdan satisfied, turned around and left quickly.Little did he know that tears and pain flashed in his wife's eyes as she watched him go away.
She slowly sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror, and slowly touched the red line-shaped scar on her neck with her hands, the pain in her eyes was even heavier.
She really didn't know what went wrong.
It is right to respect ghosts and gods and keep a distance. They are just mortals, so they can live a good life. Why does my husband insist on being friends with a ghost in the underworld?
Saying that you can't be ungrateful, but this... is this really graciousness?
Mrs. Zhu only felt that in just half a month, she was tired from the previous 20 years.
The husband who used to be bold and straightforward suddenly became smart. He was brilliant in writing and eloquent. This should have been a good thing, but he gradually began to look down on his former close friends, and threw the stupid words that outsiders laughed at him at his friends.
Seeing her husband blindly befriending the vicious and terrifying Judge Lu, Mrs. Zhu wanted to persuade her, but her husband who had loved her so much did not listen at all.
The most frightening thing was that when she suddenly woke up one day, she found that she had changed her head!
In the bronze mirror, Mrs. Zhu's tears slowly rolled down. She still remembered the horror of finding out that she had changed her head and her face was covered with blood scabs.But what about her husband?
Her husband laughed, and touched her face excitedly.As if a gift, he told her that she was good in everything, but her face was not beautiful enough, so he specially asked Judge Lu to help, moved her knife and axe, and changed her head.
At that moment, Mrs. Zhu couldn't tell what mood she was in, she just felt that her heart was like falling into an ice cave, numb from the cold.
So it turns out that her husband who loves her so much thinks of her like this?
It turned out that the head of his wife that he disliked was not beautiful, but could it be replaced?
That's her head!
It was made of her flesh and blood!
But it happened that the man she loved the most was beheaded, discarded, and buried without her knowing it.She didn't even know where Judge Lu dropped her head!
Later, the parents of this beautiful head found Wu Shiyu, whose daughter died tragically a few days ago.Because of this head, Wu Shiyu and his wife recognized her as their goddaughter.
As a result, her husband has a brilliant literary talent, and with the help of his godfather and mother, their family suddenly became rich, and everyone said that her good days are coming.
But Mrs. Zhu only felt that what happened in just half a month was so absurd and uninhibited. She touched the red thread-shaped scar on her neck, thinking that her head had been beheaded without knowing it, and that her head was being cut off right now. Where it stinks and rots, I only feel pain in my neck like hallucinations, and my whole body is shivering with cold.
Tick tock, a tear fell on the table.
Mrs. Zhu looked at the strange herself in the bronze mirror with tears in her eyes.
If this is a nightmare, gods and Buddhas all over the sky, please wake up to me quickly.
Suddenly, a little maid knocked on the door.
Mrs. Zhu quickly wiped away her tears and returned to her usual gentle and virtuous smile.
"Come in, what's the matter?"
The little maid said crisply that someone was looking for the master, but the master was not there.
Madam Zhu asked suspiciously.
"Who is it?"
The little maid thought about it.
"It's a good-looking man and woman, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and they don't look like ordinary people. The woman is holding a box in her hand, saying that the master's things are here with her, and she wants to return them. master."
Mrs. Zhu was taken aback, but after hearing this description, she didn't even know who it was.However, I was still skeptical and prepared to see it.
When she arrived at the main room, she saw a handsome man and a woman.The man was tall and tall, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his aura made Mrs. Zhu dare not look at it after a glance. The other girl was wearing a light yellow dress, beautiful and agile, with a chic look between her brows. The two stood At the same time, there is a tacit understanding that no one else can get in.
Gu Yunchu, who came all night, raised his eyes and saw Mrs. Zhu's beautiful face with dimples, and then moved his gaze down to the other party's neck.
"You are Mrs. Zhu?"
"Yes, I am."
Mrs. Zhu met her gaze, and subconsciously grabbed her high collar, which was obviously blocked by the collar, but she felt that the girl's eyes seemed to have seen the red line through the clothes.
"Who are you. My husband never mentioned you to me."
The pretty girl smiled.
"Zhu Erdan doesn't know us. We don't know him either. It's just that someone asked us to return his lost things."
It was strange to say this, Madam Zhu looked at the box suspiciously.
"What did my husband lose?"
Gu Yunchu smiled.
"He lost his innocence."
This sounds even more strange.For a moment, the little maid's eyes changed instantly.
The left eye says 'Looking like this is a charlatan? '
On the right eye, it says 'I've seen this one, but you don't have any money, go and cheat the next one! '
Even Mrs. Zhu's eyes moved slightly.After thinking about it, he took out a few pieces of silver from his purse and asked the little maid to send it over, while showing a gentle and friendly smile.
"The son and the girl don't look like people who are short of money. If you encounter difficulties for a while, I still have a little money. If you can help, please feel welcome."
The little maid was a little reluctant to hold the money.
"lady……"
Mrs. Zhu just gave her a look.
The little maid reluctantly walked towards Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan, still muttering.
"What can you do with hands and feet, come here to be a liar, and still have a heart? Pooh, I also said that I have a black heart that you two have lost!"
Gu Yunchu; & Ao Yan: ...
But I don't blame the little maid for dismissing Gu Yunchu so much, it's because she didn't pay attention to her words.It's like someone walking on the road, and another person suddenly said from behind.
Dude, you dropped something.
The man turned his head and said thank you quickly, then looked down to see what he had lost.
As a result, the people behind said loudly: "You dropped your noble character to the ground!" '
At this time, anyone would roll their eyes fiercely, and then curse secretly, Ma De is mentally retarded!
After Gu Yunchu realized it, he hurriedly said.
"What I'm saying is true."
She didn't look at the broken silver handed over by the little maid, but looked at Mrs. Zhu.
"Dare to ask Madam, do you know that your husband recently met a good friend, who is the judge of the underworld. Judge Lu gave your husband Zhu Erdan a heart of wisdom, so Zhu Erdan became full of articles overnight. And you... If my guess is correct, there is a red mark on your neck, which is because your upper head is not your own."
Gu Yunchu's original intention was to convince Mrs. Zhu to believe her words, but she saw that Mrs. Zhu's expression did not change, and the little girl put her hands on her hips angrily.
"You charlatan, even if you want to deceive people, you still say something powerful. Isn't this already known?! What's there to say, if you don't have real skills, just take the money and leave!"
This doesn't work either?
Gu Yunchu was taken aback for a moment. After many years, she couldn't remember the details of Lu Pan's story clearly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Finally she scratched her face.
"Well, it seems that it is impossible not to show you the real ability. My box really has a heart. I can show it to you, but I am afraid of scaring you."
The little maid immediately raised her head and sneered.
"I'm afraid it's not a pig's heart or a cow's heart that I bought casually. Who would be afraid of these crappy things?"
As he opened the box impatiently, he was going to expose Gu Yunchu, a liar's lie.
Unexpectedly, when the box was opened, there was a glowing red heart beating rhythmically inside.
"what!"
The little maid was startled, and the hand holding the box shook violently.
Ao Yan, who was silent on the side, made a move immediately, and caught the box that almost fell to the ground.
Gu Yunchu took it over to make sure that the innocent heart inside was intact, and then he was relieved.
"Fortunately, it didn't break. If it breaks, then I'm afraid I'll have to find a pig's heart for your master."
Gu Yunchu's words are not false, the literary heart that Zhu Erdan is using now must be taken away, because although this heart is literary, it is more greedy and lustful, and it is not a good thing in short.
Because this world is relatively idealistic, the heart is the main body that controls human emotions, not the brain, so Mrs. Zhu's change of head is only a change of appearance, but after Zhu Erdan changed his heart, his personality changed drastically.This is all brought about by this literary heart.
And this literary heart must be taken away. If Zhu Erdan's original heart is broken, there is really no substitute for it for a while.But people will die if they don't care...
Holding a pig's heart for the time being is better than dying, right?
Pig: Are you polite? .JPG
The little maid was quite frightened, but Mrs. Zhu's eyes flashed brightly.She took a few steps forward, looking at the beating heart in the box in amazement.
"This... this is really..."
Gu Yunchu nodded.
"That's right, this is your husband Zhu Erdan's original heart."
Mrs. Zhu burst into tears.
"As long as I change it back, my husband will return to his original appearance, right?"
Gu Yunchu nodded again.
"Yes, but after he transforms back, the literary talent of these days will also disappear."
Mrs. Zhu shook her head to express that she didn't care. After all, when she married Zhu Erdan, she knew that his literary talent was not very good.
"It's just... I'm afraid he won't want to."
Gu Yunchu said coldly when he heard the words.
"Whether he likes it or not, that heart is not his, and he must return it. Let me tell you the truth, that judge Lu is not a good person. He is wanted by the underworld for committing a crime. He changed Zhu Erdan's heart." , not for Zhu Erdan's good, but to steal Zhu Erdan's innocent heart. Zhu Erdan has a pure heart, even if he doesn't go far in learning, but if he accumulates virtue and does good deeds, the benefits in the future will be countless, but if he And with that heart of ungratefulness and indifference, even if he can become an official in a short period of time, the end will definitely be very bad."
This is not Gu Yunchu's alarmist talk, but the original owner of that literary heart is like this, greedy and innocent in the officialdom, and finally ended up being beheaded for public display.
Zhu Erdan was controlled by that heart and changed his nature. It is very likely that that person will walk the same path in the future.
Madam Zhu's complexion turned pale when she heard this.Thinking of her husband who has become more and more strange recently, she finally gritted her teeth.After informing Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan, Zhu Erdan went to the nearby Hades Hall.
This Hall of the King of Hades is not the Hall of the King of Hades in the underworld, but a temple dedicated to the King of Hades in the world. There is a wooden statue of Judge Lu with a green face and red beard inside.
Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan immediately took the box and rushed over there. Mrs. Zhu wiped away her tears, but unexpectedly followed with the little maid.
When they went to the temple, they saw Zhu Erdan in it as expected, wiping the dust on Lu Pan's statue diligently with a cloth, saying something from time to time.Ask him why he hasn't shown up yet.
Gu Yunchu strode in at this moment.
"Don't waste your time. Judge Lu committed a crime and has already been dismissed from his official position by the underworld. He is fleeing here and there now, so I don't have time to pay attention to you!"
Seeing two strangers, Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan, Zhu Erdan frowned.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who we are, you just need to know that the underworld entrusted us here."
Gu Yunchu held the box in his hand and said.
"Back then Judge Lu stole a literary heart from the underworld to replace it with you. He wanted to take away your innocent heart. Now your heart is in this box. Let us exchange it for you."
"Change?"
Zhu Erdan's pupils shrank.
"I don't change!"
His heart is full of literary talents, and his articles are natural, and he will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future. Only a fool will change his dull heart!
Ao Yan frowned.
"You don't want to change because your heart doesn't want to change now, it's not your own wish. You should think about it carefully."
After all, Zhu Erdan is a person with the heart of a child, and Ao Yan knows that he is just confused by that literary heart, so his tone is quite gentle.
But Zhu Erdan didn't think so.
"I use my heart very well, so I don't need to think about it!"
He seemed to be terrified. Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan changed his heart back, and he turned around quickly and wanted to run away.
In the end, before he ran a few steps, he saw Ao Yan standing in front of him at some point in the distance.He hurriedly turned around again, Gu Yunchu raised the knife in one hand and dropped it, directly anesthetized.
Zhu Erdan rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and immediately passed out on the ground.
"Master!"
Mrs. Zhu, who came one step behind, covered her mouth in shock.
Gu Yunchu turned his head to tell her not to worry, but just passed out.Then he said with a smile.
"Okay, now you can change his mind with peace of mind."
Ao Yan raised the sword in his hand and cut a hole in Zhu Erdan's chest, only to see a heart mobilized inside, faintly lingering with black air.
Gu Yunchu blinked.
[I'm so good, it turns out that I really have a black heart. 】
The severed heart was placed in the box, and then Gu Yunchu picked up the innocent heart, and then suddenly stopped.
Ao Yan raised her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yunchu looked at the chest cavity, and then at the childlike heart in his hand.
"Um...how is this heart placed? Which blood vessel is against which blood vessel?"
Ao Yan paused.He hesitated for a moment.
"Should... just let it go casually? After giving that tone, it should be able to grow well by itself."
That's right, it's the world of Liao Zhai after all, and such rough ways of changing hearts can appear, so you don't need to care about these details at this time.
Gu Yunchu nodded, and confidently stuffed the heart into Zhu Erdan's chest, then Ao Yan closed the wound, took out a small porcelain bottle, and put some air into Zhu Erdan's wound from the porcelain bottle.
That is the fairy energy given by the underworld, but it can kill human flesh and bones.
As expected, Zhu Erdan's wound healed, and he sat up immediately.When he saw the two of them, he showed a big smile.
Mrs. Zhu was overjoyed and rushed over to hug Zhu Erdan who was sitting on the ground.
"Sanggong, you have finally changed back, Xianggong!"
"That's not good!"
Gu Yunchu smiled triumphantly.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
Zhu Erdan had a smile on his face: "Hey hey."
Mrs. Zhu paused, and slowly let go of her hand. "Sister-in-law?"
The little maid: "Master?"
Zhu Erdan was still sitting on the ground. "Hey hey."
A trace of crystal saliva slowly slipped from the corner of his mouth to the ground.
Crowd: ...
For a moment, the entire hall was dead silent, Madam Zhu looked at Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan in horror and tears.
"Didn't you agree that you can change back if you change your heart?"
Is this changing back?
Has this gone too far? !
The little maid panicked and said: "That's right, you are talking about changing back, but my master was a little stupid before, but...but he is not so stupid!"
To say that Zhu Erdan was stupid before, he was indeed stupid, after all, no normal person would have a drink with friends in the middle of the night, because with a few words, he could go to the Palace of Hades and carry the statue of Judge Lu away.
But there is no such thing!
Gu Yunchu shuddered, and quickly anesthetized Zhu Erdan again with a hand knife.
"... Cough, I'm sorry, it seems that there may be a small error in the installation process, please don't worry, we will study it later."
As she spoke, she gave Ao Yan a look.
What if you just blow your breath and grow up by yourself?
What's going on here?
Ao Yan looked back helplessly: He is not a professional in the underworld. If you ask Xingyunbuyu, he knows a little bit more. If you ask this... how would he know!
Gu Yunchu guessed that the location of the installation might be wrong, so he asked Ao Yan to cut Zhu Erdan's chest again. This time, she faced the broken blood vessels seriously and began to put them together.
It took a full cup of tea to speak. "Try blowing again."
Ao Yan took out the porcelain bottle as she said, and released a little fairy energy.
The next moment, Zhu Erdan stood up again.Mrs. Zhu whispered. "Sister-in-law?"
Zhu Erdan was taken aback for a moment, but also hesitated. "lady?"
Madam Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, hugging him and weeping with joy.
"Msanggong, that's great, you've changed back!"
Zhu Erdan was also extremely happy.
"Yeah, that's great, I've changed back. Hahaha. It's really hard for you these days, hahaha, I can't help you, madam."
"It's good that you change back, it's good that you change back."
Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Sanggong, why do you keep laughing? Take a break, don't laugh too much."
Jurdan grinned.
"Hahaha, I...hahaha, I don't know, I...hahaha, I can't stop."
In an instant, there was another silence in the hall, only Zhu Erdan's uncontrollable laughter filled the hall.
Mrs. Zhu said again in grief and indignation.
"What you said will come back!"
The little maid also shouted.
"Even if my master used to smile silly all the time, he never laughed so silly!"
Once born and twice cooked.
Gu Yunchu physically anesthetized poor Zhu Erdan with a knife in his hand.
"... Cough, there may be something that hasn't been installed properly. Don't worry, I'll find out how I feel."
After the third time.
Zhu Erdan woke up again, with three scars like red lines on his chest, this time he stopped laughing and cried instead, tears dripping down uncontrollably.Together with Mrs. Zhu and the little maid, she looked at Gu Yunchu and Ao Yan with red eyes and complained.
Mrs. Zhu said painfully: "The agreement will be changed back."
The little maid said angrily: "My master didn't cry so much before."
Zhu Erdan clutched his chest and said in grief and indignation: "Three times, you have drawn three red marks horizontally, are you going to do it three times vertically to form a nine-square grid?"
She didn't know it would be like this.
The world is not scientific when it should be scientific. Why do you care so much about details at this time?
Gu Yunchu scratched his head in pain.
"That... Well, we didn't prepare in advance, or you can just make it up like this first, and let's go and learn first?"
