"Don't go out or you won't survive the night."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of thunderstorm outside suddenly returned. It's like an old cassette recorder that jams and then starts running again.

The rain was still washing away the roof tiles, and the strong wind blew the doors and windows of the house, like a ghost wailing.

Song Xin shivered and retracted her hand that was already holding the door latch. She couldn't help but take a few steps back and never dared to approach the door of her house again. It was as if it was the entrance to a hell gate, and he was afraid that he would be unable to bear the curiosity and open the door, and then some evil spirit would drag him into hell.

He felt that he must have encountered a ghost. Ever since he arrived in this world, he had always felt that the atmosphere was gloomy. He quickly closed his eyes and chanted: "Guan Gong bless! Bodhisattva bless! Jesus bless!"

But then I thought about it, Guan Gong was still alive at this time, so naturally he couldn't protect himself. Bodhisattvas are not yet popular at this time, so I’m afraid they won’t be able to help themselves. Not to mention Jesus, at this time, Rome was still hunting down Christians everywhere...

That voice appeared twice. The first time it said that he would not die, he really did not die. The second time was obviously reminding him that there was danger outside.

After thinking about it, he realized that the sound was not harmful to him. Thinking of this, he felt relieved a little.

When the rain and wind gradually subsided, Song Xin's nervous mood gradually calmed down. Without the cover of the sound of wind and rain, another strange sound emerged.

"Pa, pa, coo, coo"

The sound was like someone stepping on a puddle on the ground, crisp and regular. In this silent night, especially the gurgling sound, it seemed like someone was retching on purpose.

Song Xin's originally relieved heart immediately rose again. He wanted to open the door to check but didn't dare. He could only huddle in the corner of the room and kept saying to himself: "This must be a toad, a toad..." This kind of ridiculous The lie cannot deceive oneself at all.

As time passed, he realized that the sound was not close to his house, and the tense guard in his heart gradually relaxed. Once he relaxed, the feeling of exhaustion came up like a flood, causing him to close his eyes and fall asleep.

"Ah!!" There was a feeling of falling, and Song Xin, who was sleeping, kicked up and down on the straw mat. The feeling of falling came again.

He didn't know how long he had been falling, but Song Xin felt a bright light shining through his eyelids, and he hurriedly opened his eyes to take a look. I found that I had come to a vast white place. There was no distinction between heaven and earth, up and down, far and near, just a vast expanse of white.

"Forgive me, I can only see you in this way." A voice came from behind him.

Looking back suddenly, he found that besides the white color, there was also a person wearing a green robe with his back to him. There is no distinction between heaven and earth here, this figure seems to be floating in front of Song Xin.

"Who are you?"

"I saved you twice, don't you still remember my voice?" The man said and turned around. Song Xin saw his appearance clearly. His face was long and thin, his eyes were bright, and he had two Sword eyebrow. There is a foot-long beard under the cheeks and around the lips. Especially those eyes, which are as bright as fire, and they seem to be able to know the other person's heart just by looking at them, making people dare not not feel awe.

The man in green robe was also looking at Song Xin.

Looking at the child in front of me, I asked myself with some fear: "You are that voice... So you are real..."

The man in green robe nodded and said, "We finally meet, Song Xin."

"You still know my name?"

"I have been watching you since you were thrown into the cell. I wanted to meet you, but I was discovered by God."

"God's punishment?" Song Xin heard this word once from Liu Jing's master and apprentice. When this person mentioned this word again, he couldn't help but frown. What the hell is this.

"Master and disciple Liu Jing once said that, right?"

Song Xin nodded.

"You ever felt like you were being pinned down by a boulder and couldn't move. It was a sign before heaven's punishment came."

Song Xin felt sweat break out on his forehead, "But why do I feel... that... heavenly punishment?"

"It's because of me... As long as I appear outside, the heavenly punishment will kill me and all living creatures within a few feet around me. That feeling of pressure is actually looking for me."

Song Xin blurted out in surprise, "Thunder rolling...?"

The man in green robe was stunned: "How did you know it was thunder?"

"I...I just guessed..." Song Xin almost said that he heard it in cross talk, but when he thought about it, this person probably didn't know what cross talk was.

The man in green robe looked at Song Xin with a strange look, and then said: "In order to prevent you from opening the door and dying, I had to use my spiritual energy to make a sound, so I was discovered by Heaven. Therefore, I can only force your soul out and come here. Met with me.”

"My soul?" This overturned Song Xin's previous understanding. No wonder he felt light and airy.

Only then did Song Xin realize how close he was to the gate of hell. That feeling of silence and heart palpitations turned out to be the so-called heavenly punishment looking for the man in green robe. Hearing the man talking about the jade ring again, he asked: "The jade ring, is it that piece of jade? But why can't I find it?"

"It is hidden, and Liu Jing is also looking for it. If it is found on you, you may not survive for three breaths."

"You know his name is Liu Jing?!" Song Xin was extremely surprised.

"Liu Jing of Nanyang is just a mediocre sorcerer. He turned to witchcraft because he had no hope of breaking through. He only knows some ways to control ghosts."

After hearing this person tell Liu Jing's details directly, Song Xin asked, "Then who are you?"

"My surname is Yu and my first name is Ji."

"Yu Ji!? I know! I know! The one who was killed by Sun Ce..." But when he looked at the person in front of him again, he immediately stopped. If he was really killed, could he still be here?

"What...have you done that God wants to search you?"

Yu Ji sighed again and said: "Six years ago, I used secret techniques to take away Sun Bofu's luck, so that he could not heal himself when he was injured, and he could not be cured by medicine or stones when he was sick. Later, he was unfortunately seriously injured by an assassin during a safari. With his skill, ordinary assassins would never be able to get close, but that day he took out his bow and broke it, drew his sword and broke it, and was seriously injured by several young assassins and died from his injuries."

Song Xin is a little confused. The novel clearly states that it was Sun Ce who killed Yu Ji. "You said Sun Ce's death was because of you? Why did you take away his luck?"

"At that time, I was wandering around in the clouds, asking for fortune-telling and treating diseases for the people. Sun Bofu insisted that I was a demon, so he arrested and killed me. I was angry for a moment, and seeing that he was lucky, I got greedy, so I used secret techniques to capture him. But I am a practitioner. If I use magic on mortals, there will be punishment from heaven. I can’t resist it, so I have to go in to avoid the disaster."

This is not difficult for Song Xin to understand, "So, you and I are both in the jade ring now? Then how long are you going to hide?"

"It seems that you are not too stupid. You are now in Yuqian's small universe. If I want to get out alive, I have to wait for a period of time. Every time a period of time passes, the punishment from heaven will be reopened. It is called amnesty. If those who were targeted before can survive the amnesty, they will be safe.”

"A Jiazi?! Then I am over seventy years old, and then you can go out?"

Song Xin had never heard of these strange things, and he obviously didn't believe them. He just thought it was a dream again. But the vast white world and Yu Ji gave him the feeling that it seemed real.

But he would rather believe it was a nightmare.

Yu Ji obviously saw his suspicion and smiled lightly: "I know you don't believe it now, so I'll let you see it."

After saying that, he raised his hand and drew a circle in the air. After muttering something unknown, a piece of water appeared out of thin air, with ripples in circles. After a while, it became as flat as a mirror.

Song Xin had no choice but to believe in this magical method.

"Come and take a look." Yu Ji said with his hands behind his back. Song Xin walked over and saw her own reflection first, that thin and tired face. Then, the scene in the mirror changed.

"This is my house!" He saw that he was still lying on the straw mat, sleeping soundly.

The doors and windows of the house were still closed, and there was nothing unusual. Immediately afterwards, the scenery in the water mirror changed, and he instantly reached the courtyard outside the house.

"Well, here they come."

Song Xin was about to ask what was going on, so he looked into the water mirror, but when he saw the scene in the water mirror, his face turned pale and his legs collapsed with a thump.
