Xu Zhenren's face was stern: "No, Taoist Master Meng doesn't know about this, otherwise Mr. Yin wouldn't have to go to Baali to open a gap every once in a while to let people out."
I tm……
I don’t even know what to say. Not only me, but also Daozhang Meng would never have imagined that the gap that cost him so much thought was actually created by Yin Wuxin on purpose!
What about Duke Shen? Does Duke Shen know about this?
Thinking of the inexplicable and gloating expression on Mr. Shen's face when he first heard about the breach in Shanyin City, I feel that this matter must have something to do with him!
Damn it, what kind of trouble are these people going to make? Are you really afraid that a catastrophe will come and kill them?
My whole body was shaking and I couldn't speak for a long time. I was either excited or simply scared.
What is certain is that this is the big thing that Sister Lin was talking about. She asked me to rush to Shanyin City before the end of the first month to find Taoist Meng. She must also want me to prevent this from happening.
But I was sent to the underworld by Yin Wuxin, and I was thrown into the Nai River because I touched the sky-repairing stone. I stayed at the old man's house for a few days. Didn't I miss the first month of the year by force?
God's will, this is God's will!
Anyway, I couldn't sit still at this moment. I only had one thought in my mind, which was to return to Shanyin City quickly and make sure to stop Yin Wuxin.
Otherwise, according to Sister Lin, things may change sooner or later, and this change will definitely come true for me!
But as soon as I stood up, Master Xu knelt down in front of me with a 'pop' sound.
I was stupid: "What are you doing? Get out of here, don't stop me!"
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, listen to me!"
He is infinitely more advanced than me, but at this moment he was like a child, hugging my thigh with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Gu, listen to me, the first time I knelt was to kick Mr. Yin's knee.
Yes, he begs you to let him go for the sake of more than a thousand years of friendship."
After saying that, he kowtowed three times on the bricks, and blood immediately flowed from his forehead.
"Six hundred years ago, he accompanied you and Miss Qingluan to the underworld, and he never complained even if he narrowly escaped death.
In the past six hundred years, he has helped you atone for the sins you committed back then. Even if there are thousands of wrongs, you should still pay them back.
Mr. Yin said that he had really had enough. What he yearned for was freedom and playing in the world, not this prison-like life. What's more, Qin Xian and him were in love, but they were forcibly separated. One was in Shanyin City.
One is in Hades, and it takes several years to see each other secretly.
He begged you to stay with me for one day, just for one day, for the sake of your kindness. He swore that he would leave with the souls of Shanyin City and never harm the human world."
After saying that, he made three more "boom, boom, boom" noises, and a large gash was opened in his forehead. I could even see the white bones inside.
"This kneeling is me begging you on behalf of the millions of dead souls in Shanyin City, please let us go. We really have had enough of this kind of life.
Do you know what life was like before I left Shanyin City? I worked as a servant in a wealthy family for more than ten years. I worked as a cow and a horse every day, and was ordered around. Every day, I only had some spiritual energy to barely survive.
Besides, there is no reward at all.
If it weren't for Mr. Yin's appreciation, I would have lived like this for thousands, tens of thousands of years.
How many dead souls are there like me in the city? How many souls are more pitiful than me? Mr. Gu, can you really bear to see us live like this?
So I beg you, please let us live. Yes, we are guilty. It was our own choice not to drink the Wangchuan water back then, but our sin is not this serious!
The sins you and Miss Qingluan committed six hundred years ago, millions of ghosts in the city have suffered for so many years, have long been paid off for you two, Mr. Gu, just give us a chance!"
…
Rather than saying what he just said was a request, it would be better to say that it pricked my heart.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems like this is true. The reason why Shanin City exists and why things turned out like this cannot be said to have nothing to do with Sister Lin and the other me. At least it was caused by them alone.
He knows so many secrets that I don't even know how to refute him.
After all, it is the reincarnation of heaven, and you will not be happy with your retribution. You have to pay for the sins you have done.
Thinking about myself, when I chose to accept Sister Lin's gift, apart from missing Qingqing and the others, was it not because of greed? Because of greed, I wanted an endless lifespan, wanted to uncover the mystery of this world, and wanted to explore those things. An unknown secret.
But I never imagined that what I inherited would be such a mess, and that I would need to continue to repay the debt I incurred six hundred years ago.
After a long time, I sighed and slumped down on the chair weakly: "I don't know whether it's you who are naive or Yin Wuxin who is naive. Do you think that after those ghosts come out, they will willingly leave this land with you?
Do you think other than you, as well as the underworld gangsters in Shanyin City, there will be anyone who will continue to follow Yin Wuxin wholeheartedly?
There is no peace in Shanyin City. I have noticed this a long time ago. Like the Feng family that was destroyed a few days ago, they and Yin Wuxin are not grasshoppers on the same rope. There are still families like the Feng family in the city. How many are there? I'm afraid they will be the first ones to jump out and sing the opposite after we go out, right?"
As if in acquiescence, Xu Zhenren did not speak and knelt there in silence for a long time.
I sighed again: "Forget it, it's already like this, I'll just make it happen for you.
As for things that have changed, things will not change, and retribution will not be repaid, you have said that it is a debt I have owed, so I should bear it myself.
But I still have a question. With my current situation, what is Yin Wuxin afraid of me? Can I beat him? Can I stop him? Or is there something in me that he is afraid of? "
Xu Zhenren did not speak, but bent down and kowtowed again.
"Oh, what you said is that if you don't know, you would think that some saint is alive. The person who just taught you will be punished by heaven and earth for his own sake, and you have forgotten, right?"
Not knowing where he was wandering, Duke Shen suddenly walked in. He pointed to the door: "Meng Laizi's paper man has been here. He said that Meng Laizi left a message for you: There has been a change in the city. Come back quickly."
After saying that, he looked at me: "So are you going to come back now?"
I didn't answer, but asked Shen Gong: "Can you defeat the group of Taoist priests outside?"
Mr. Shen shook his head: "You can give it a try. Anyway, your hands are itchy and you have nothing to do if you have nothing to do. You go ahead and let me save Liu Qingqing for you."
I hummed and made a gesture to walk out.
But just after taking a few steps, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air behind him, followed by the sound of a sharp blade piercing the fabric.
I turned around and was shocked to see Xu Zhenren still kneeling on the same spot, with a long sword appearing in his hand. This sword was now inserted in the middle of his heart.
"Miss Liu is in the secret room at the bottom of the pool outside the door. An Xin will take you there."
Xu Zhenren smiled miserably: "Mr. Gu, I have paid for Mr. Yin's fault this time. I hope you don't blame him."
After saying that, a glimmer of green light suddenly flashed around him.
A wisp of light smoke drifted out from the top of his head. Xu Zhenren was motionless, obviously his soul was gone.
