He Tan vaguely saw a girl dressed as a maid walking over and placing a piece of sapphire on her chest.
She suddenly woke up and found herself floating in the air. Zhuang Xun held her body in grief, and her mother and Siqin Mi cried. The mother cried especially sadly. No one heard her words of comfort.
"Mom, Sister Lanzhi, tell me, can I be a substitute for Brother Xun? They say that Brother Xun is short in stature and fair like a woman. I seem to fit both of them. If I become a bait, can I be considered as helping Xun?" My brother escaped this disaster." Recalling what happened in the changing room, he listened to He Jung's description and suggested that the bait should be divided into two ways.
"No!" Mother and Si Qinmi said in unison.
"Mother, you said you should repay your kindness, right? Our family still owes brother Xun the life-saving grace. This time, we should treat it as repayment. You asked me to be a concubine, but you are reluctant to let me die for him." He Tan first said to his mother.
The kindness is heavier than a mountain, the kindness is as deep as the sea, the kindness is so heavy that I can’t breathe, the mother and father’s admonitions, patience, tolerance, because I owe him.
"And Sister Lanzhi, haven't you always wanted Tan'er to be your sister? Tan'er doesn't have the will to sacrifice for brother Xun now, so how can she be considered a good wife."
Sister Lanzhi is also very good. Brother Xun can't resist temptation, but he is a really good person. I hope they will be together for a long time.
"Sophistry, why do you suddenly have such an idea!" Si Qin Mi was a little angry.
"But isn't this a good idea? It will greatly increase Brother Xun's chance of survival. You are her wife, and mother, you are Brother Xun's benefactor. You all understand what I am saying, right." He Tan spoke more fluently.
"Don't you always hate him because of the bad things?" Holding her waist and bulging her belly, Ms. Dong felt a little tired.
"Hate and gratitude are not in conflict. After repaying the favor, it is justifiable to hate. I want to repay brother Xun's kindness to me." He Tan took a deep breath and clearly stated his grudges.
She didn't hate Zhuang Xun personally, she hated the kind of people Zhuang Xun represented. The various malicious and greedy looks that day caused stress reactions, and Zhuang Xun became the representative.
The mind is clear, the ghost's mind is very clear, and the memory before death flashes back extremely clearly. I couldn't explain it clearly at the time, but now I understand it. I wanted to be a substitute because I wanted to be able to face various dangers on behalf of Zhuang Xun and pick up the name on the top of the mountain. The weight of a savior.
"It's only like this in emergencies." After all, Si Qinmi loved Zhuang Xun more. Accepting this suggestion, it was good to have a substitute to take the risk for Zhuang Xun.
My mother wanted to say something, but in the end she acquiesced to her own opinion.
Everything was ready, but how to solve the problem of sound? She met an immortal, or a practitioner.
"Can't immortals use magic to attack mortals at will?" At this moment, she understood the difference between immortals and mortals.
Suddenly, I felt that the burden on my body was much heavier. Immortal loyal to Zhuang Xun must have a mission. Zhuang Xun and the others were doing important things.
Thinking that her father had invaded the royal city, she thought that this matter was crucial and important. She was not an idiot, she was just stubborn.
This is not the first time I know about Zhuang Xun's character, but in actual experience, I still find it incredible. There are two sides to people, and Zhuang Xun is really good in terms of greatness and uprightness.
Dare to be a bait and protect the female family members. Although she was persuaded by Si Qinmi to back down, this time she actually planned to be the bait herself, but Zhuang Xun beat her to it and was defused by Si Qinmi. She may not be the so-called hero, but she is A reassuring person.
Later, it could escape on its own horse. She had heard many stories about princes and generals abandoning their wives and children, but Zhuang Xun did not. He helped her mother get on the horse several times, and even acted as a human stool. She thought of her father and the misfortunes he encountered while fleeing. When faced with a robbery, even if she suffered several injuries, she still had to protect herself and her mother. She admired her father the most, who was upright and gentle to her family.
Seeing Zhuang Xun, who was a high-ranking censor but had no airs at all, his heart softened. At this time, the breathless pressure came again.
I really can't breathe, I can't afford to pay back the favor, I really can't afford it.
It was very natural that she used the rumors to impersonate Zhuang Xun, and it was also natural that Zhuang Xun retorted. He was definitely not the one, but he didn't like that the woman supporting her was still a woman he was familiar with.
This makes it even more necessary to replace him and do things he doesn't like.
Looking at his shocked eyes, for the first time I felt proud of realizing my value.
With the cooperation of the three of them, he had nothing to say. He was relieved to see him entering Madam Jiang's team step by step.
With her mind freed and no pressure, she did it, replaced Zhuang Xun, and saved his life.
Are you now a hostage to these enemies?
What will these people do with themselves?
To threaten his father?
She knew her father and the importance he placed on family.
No matter what choice he made, he would regret not saving his daughter or being loyal to Zhuang Xun, who was kind to him.
Then why not make the choice for him yourself? What Zhuang Xun did and what his father did were all very important events. If he failed because of himself, He Tan would feel suffocated just thinking about it.
The sense of relief she had felt just now was gone. She wanted to die. She couldn't bear the feeling of owing someone a favor. She couldn't imagine the consequences if her father surrendered because of her, and she didn't want to see her father regret it.
Just die, that's all.
After making this decision, my whole body became enlightened.
She slashed out that sword, relaxed, freehand, and liberated.
The sharp point of the gun pierced her chest, and she felt no pain due to the intense excitement.
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
She thought she would hate Zhuang Xun for the rest of her life, hate the greedy look of the hypocrite he represents and hate the bad things he has done, even though it was all consensual.
But when she saw Zhuang Xun's unfaithful sadness, his panic, guilt, and fear, she suddenly felt childish.
He is just an ordinary person. Sister Lanzhi calls him a stupid husband. Maybe she is being harsh on him by comparing him to her father.
Say you hate him, don't let him miss you, nothing will matter after you die, forgive him for his bad behavior before you die, at least no one will get hurt.
There are immortals, and there are also souls. He Tan looked at the dark shadows in the sky, are these all souls? One by one, they were bound by chains and poured into the Chenghuang Temple in droves. Too many people died.
She was a little curious about the green light on her body. From the ghost's point of view, there was an extra piece of sapphire on the chest of her corpse, and her ghost also had an extra green light.
It seemed that the maid dressed it up and put it on herself.
My mother seemed to have fainted from crying, and even a ghost felt a little sad. Sister Lanzhi took her mother away and went to find a medical clinic.
Zhuang Xun picked her up, ordered a carriage, and drove towards the City God's Temple. What was he going to do, burn incense for himself? It's better to let the City God bless you with a smooth journey.
Not going to take care of your mother? The mother is a pregnant woman, Zhuang Xun's emotional intelligence is not that low, but she has sister Lanzhi.
Unable to complain, her soul involuntarily drifted with the corpse to the City God's Temple, which was constantly swallowing ghosts of death.
"Emperor, please see me..." Next to Zhuang Xun, watching Zhuang Xun burning incense and praying at night, he heard Zhuang Xun's words.
He Tan suddenly felt dizzy. When she regained consciousness and was being held by someone's hand, Zhuang Xun's reproachful voice reached her ears.
"How could you commit suicide? Your mother will be scared to death by you. What will happen to Brother He? What will happen to your mother?" Zhuang Xun reprimanded He Tan. He Tan was a little confused, like a quail who couldn't raise his head when being questioned. Got it.
The surrounding buildings are large and bright, but the people are all in black, escorting painful ghosts.
"Brother Xun, are you going to die too?" He Tan's soul could not feel the warmth at this moment, and his heart was warm, filled with speculations and worries.
"Young Master, your soul is out of body." The young man's voice came.
A man in imperial uniform came to Zhuang Xun and explained to him.
"Young Master, I have to interrogate King Cheng. I have made some preparations, but I am a little disappointed." King Lunzhuan cupped his hands and said apologetically.
"Your Majesty is serious, I have come here to ask for something!" Zhuang Xun saw the King of Wheels, straightened his face, and bowed to salute.
"Young Master, don't panic, let's go through this trial with my subordinates." King Lun Zhuan first spoke to Zhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun was stunned for a moment, and could only hold He Tan's hand and follow the Lun Zhuan King forward into the government-like underworld.
When he came to the court, Zhuang Xun saw King Cheng, and King Cheng saw him.
"Yushi Zhuang, save me, save me!" As soon as he saw Zhuang Xun, King Cheng, who was dressed in Taoist robes, seemed to have seen a savior.
He has already judged a group of people before. Hell is real and will really judge and punish people based on their merits and demerits.
"Young Master, please sit down safely." King Lun Zhuan arranged for Zhuang Xun to sit in the main seat. Zhuang Xun was embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but King Lun Zhuan held him down.
The Rotating King himself added a small table and sat in the second place.
"Go to the Evil Mirror and trace your life," the King of Wheels ordered.
Two officers dressed up escorted King Cheng to the evil mirror.
The first one to appear was King Cheng, who was smoking the sandalwood from Youguo. Correspondingly, the throne in the court was empty.
The second scene that appeared was that he was carrying out large-scale construction projects, building Taoist temples, receiving red seals, erecting temples, performing daily sacrifices, and the so-called Taoist cultivation methods.
The third scene was when Prime Minister Gao reported smuggling to him. He waved his hand and said that he only wanted to see the money.
No.…
They don't do anything about human affairs, and they don't take the country as their own.
Zhuang Xun felt disgusted when he saw it. He had done this too much. Even if there were one or two things behind him, such as secretly supporting Li Pingyuan to send troops to fight against Youguo, it would be difficult to cover up his fault.
"But there is still a statement." King Lunzhuan already knew it. Looking at King Cheng's fearful face, he asked lightly.
King Cheng was already shaking like a sieve, his soul swaying.
"Spare your life, spare your life..." He is already dead, and the next thing will make his life worse than death.
"Young Master, what do you think?" King Lun Zhuan asked Zhuang Xun without rushing to make a judgment.
"Young Master, you see that I offer the land of the four counties, please save me, Young Master!" Seeing that King Lun Zhuan wanted to seek Zhuang Xun's opinion, King Cheng knelt on the ground and begged.
"Isn't the land of the four counties you gave us just to relax Taishi Li's vigilance and harm him?" Zhuang Xun didn't want to pay attention to him at first. He just wanted to end this incident quickly and pray to the King of Wheels to save He Tan. , but when the other party said this, he felt unhappy.
Thinking about what happened today, it was not all this person's fault, even if he died, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
"That's because I didn't know there was a true god like you, Shaojun. If I knew Shaojun's power, how could I dare to do anything wrong." This human emperor, without any self-respect, bowed his head and prayed for mercy.
"I'm not a god, I'm just a human being. It's useless for you to beg me. You're asking for His Majesty the King of Wheels." Zhuang Xun looked at the fawning King Cheng who had no royal demeanor and couldn't stand up to the Cheng King who was sincere in his pursuit of the truth the first time. King connected.
"Weak ministers are only Shaojun's ministers. Shaojun decides." King Lun Luan said with a smile, as if Zhuang Xun could change the precedent as soon as Zhuang Xun said so.
"Young Master, Young Master, save me, save me. I am willing to work as an ox or a horse for you. I hope you will save me." King Cheng kept kowtowing.
King Cheng's ghostly screams annoyed Zhuang Xun. He didn't understand why the King of Wheels asked him to decide such a thing. It had nothing to do with him and he just had to act according to the rules of the underworld. He just wanted to beg He Tan to be resurrected.
Resurrect He Tan and save him as king.
With a flash of lightning and a flash of inspiration, Zhuang Xun roughly understood what the King of Wheels meant.
Maybe his request to resurrect He Tan was just like Cheng Wang's request to him now. It didn't matter, and he didn't understand why he was entangled with him.
Although he didn't sympathize with Cheng Wang, since he was comparing it to He Tan, Zhuang Xun still wanted to try harder. He asked Lun Zhuan Wang for a question.
"I wonder if the emperor can give me some advice?"
The King of Wheels smiled and replied: "The human world has its own rules, and the underworld has its own rules. The human world is about human relationships, and the underworld is about the rules of heaven and earth."
When Zhuang Xun heard this, he thought, "Isn't this just talking about He Tan?"
After hearing the ghost screams, King Cheng was speechless. He was only filled with deep fear. He thought of all kinds of hells, oil pans, knife mountains, stone mills, and no body, otherwise he would have been frightened to the point of peeing.
"Can't you be accommodating at all?" Zhuang Xun stretched out his hand and held He Tan's little hand. It was ice cold, and his heart was also ice cold.
"Yes, the law is nothing more than human feelings. Just maintain fairness and justice. King Cheng, if you want to be resurrected, what are you prepared to give in exchange?" King Lunzhuan first answered Zhuang Xun's words, and then said to King Cheng.
"Anything is fine, as long as I don't go to the eighteenth level of hell." King Cheng said in fear, and all his manners became fake.
"But you have nothing now, and you are plagued by bad things. What can you give to Shaojun? Let him live your life and create merit again." The wheel king said with a chuckle, and the hint was quite strong.
"Wanwang Emperor's mercy, money, concubines, country, as long as I live, I will give it all to Shaojun. As long as Shaojun doesn't dislike it, I am willing to be a hawk under Shaojun." King Cheng made a lot of promises, hell Under the threat of terror, Slippery knelt down.
"Shaojun, what do you think about his mortgage?" King Lunzuan turned to look at Zhuang Xun, waiting for his decision.
Zhuang Xun was silent. What he was thinking about was not the beauty of King Cheng. He was thinking about his relationship with He Tan. What was the connection?
"Young Master, please, please..." He kept kowtowing.
"Okay." He could only agree because he wanted to resurrect He Tan.
"Take him with the ox-headed horse face to drink Meng Po soup, forget about the things in the underworld, and send him to return to the sun." Wang Zhen, the reincarnation king, listened to Zhuang Xun's words.
"Emperor, this..." Zhuang Xun couldn't understand the rashness of King Lunzhuan.
"The official business has been concluded. Please let me have a brief chat, young gentleman." King Lunzhuan waved his hand and asked Zhuang Xun to go to the palace at the back.
Zhuang Xun suppressed all the confusion in his heart and pulled He Tan to follow him.
When he arrived at the palace, before he could sit down, Zhuang Xun made a request: "Today I came to Hades to ask for something. My sister He Tan died unexpectedly. Please have mercy on me and save her life."
"Please forgive me for my inability to do it. If Miss He is reincarnated into a wealthy family, I might be able to help." King Lun Zhuan refused.
"But Cheng Wang, Cheng Wang is not..." Seeing that Cheng Wang was so unhappy, the reason for resurrecting him was not to be accommodating to He Tan.
"King Cheng has committed many sins, and he can afford the mortgage. Miss He has no evil deeds, but he cannot afford the mortgage. If he wants to resurrect her, Wei Chen can't do it." King Lun Zhuan explained.
"What kind of mortgage is that?" Zhuang Xun's tone became higher.
"Gods cannot interfere at will in the human world, but gods have the duty to manage the human world. The use of powers must abide by the system. The promise of a king is like a mortgage. Only ministers can lend their merits with mortgages. Ordinary people cannot let ministers lend their merits. Yours, Shaojun The request is beneficial to you, Shaojun. I borrowed it from you. I am now using my power to help you, which means I am more optimistic about Shaojun." King Lunzhuan first said that this was help from his power, and he was also optimistic about Zhuang Xun's development.
"As Miss He has no mortgage, I cannot lend her merits, because this is no longer within the scope of my authority. It goes beyond the rules. I apologize for my incompetence." The king of wheel rotation explained again why he could not save He Tan.
When comparing King Cheng and He Tan, Zhuang Xun replaced it with his shallow knowledge.
Both He Tan and King Cheng lacked the underworld coins (merits), but King Cheng had a house, while He Tan did not have a house, and the King of Wheels represented the president of the Underworld Bank. He took a liking to King Cheng's house and told the president of the Underworld Bank. , King Cheng can mortgage his house and obtain underworld coins, because this house can be sold to him to obtain underworld coins, which cannot be regarded as a violation, and He Tan is penniless. No matter how good his relationship with the bank president is, He Tan has no mortgage. As an honest and rule-abiding president, I can only say no.
After understanding this, Zhuang Xun sighed, raised his hands and apologized to the King of Wheels, saying: "It was Xun who was presumptuous..."
He held He Tan's hand and refused to let go. Like He Tan, he hated owing favors to others. He Tan's stupid death made him distressed. He didn't know how to face He Heng, an honest and kind man. If you can't survive in the underworld, where else can you survive?
"Young Master, since you have Empress Xuannv's token, why not ask Empress Xuannv for help?"
