In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
The streets and alleys of Lu Mansion are still silent and quiet. Even the most common sound of the clock in this era has never sounded here.
"You said, Miaoyu...she is still alive?"
Looking at the silent Zhang Shusheng with some surprise, Pei Wende did not hide the surprise on his face.
"Even a mortal like me can turn into such a ghost. Why do you think Miaoyu can't turn into a ghost?"
Although the decapitated Miaoyu real person cannot be regarded as a "ghost", Zhang Shusheng firmly believes that she is still active in this ghost world in some way.
"That……"
Just when Pei Wende wanted to ask more questions, Zhang Shusheng was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then turned to look in the direction of the gate of Lu Mansion.
"hiss!"
Before Pei Wende could react to what was happening, the little green snake above him opened its eyes as if facing a formidable enemy, and its green scales stood up like a hedgehog.
"what's the situation?!"
Unfortunately, when Pei Wende followed the gazes of Zhang Shusheng and Little Green Snake, he didn't see anything.
However, Pei Wende believed the little green snake's warning and instantly raised his vigilance to the highest level, staring nervously in the direction of the gate.
"My time has come..."
It feels like relief, but also like helplessness...
Zhang Shusheng's body immediately emitted a faint fluorescent light, and just like the evil ghosts who had been saved by Pei Wende in the past, they began to disappear from his sight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Continue walking inside, and the crazy young master of the Lu family is next to his wife's coffin..."
Before Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, Pei Wende could no longer see him.
Even the little green snake, which was originally facing a formidable enemy, breathed a sigh of relief, and its inverted scales were lowered again.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Outside the ghost realm of Lu Mansion, within the horizon that normal humans cannot see.
"Wherever we meet, there is destiny, and when we meet, there is cause and effect."
"Marriage is broken on the Three Lives Stone, but cause and effect are bridged."
Scholar Zhang, who had just disappeared in front of Pei Wende, was now wearing shackles on his head and shackles on his feet, looking around with a blank look on his face.
"Zhang Mingzhi, your time has come!"
Accompanied by two voices, one high and one low, one sharp and one dumb, black and white impermanence appeared out of thin air, standing on both sides of Zhang Shusheng in an escort posture.
"I've seen these two gods!"
Not daring to show any slightness, Zhang Shusheng, who was still a little confused just now, quickly bowed his hands and said with a slightly trembling voice.
"The trivial details of the human world are unconstrained, but the rituals of the underworld are useless."
The black-faced evil god's black and impermanent appearance is like his "god", and he doesn't care at all about Zhang Shusheng's intentional compliments.
"It's not strange to be polite to many people, but it's uneasy to be polite to others."
On the other hand, Bai Wuchang, who was smiling, could understand Zhang Shusheng's mood very well.
If Zhang Shusheng didn't have the awe and fear that a mortal should have when he saw the impermanence of black and white, he would rather wonder if the other person had not gotten rid of the shackles of resentment during his lifetime.
"My dearest gods, the young one..."
He stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Shusheng who was hesitant to speak. Bai Wuchang, who completely understood the other person's thoughts, shook his head, with an unquestionable expression in his tone.
"This is a flood of disasters in the human world, and there are people in the world of the world who should be punished."
"Your souls have returned to the underworld and do not disturb the human world anymore."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"That was... a ghost mission just now?"
It wasn't until he was sure that Zhang Shusheng had completely disappeared that Pei Wende asked the little green snake softly.
This was not the first time he encountered this situation. When he saved the four ghosts in Yizhuang half a year ago, Pei Wende also vaguely sensed a similar atmosphere to today.
It's just that at that time, he had not yet formally practiced cultivation and had not opened his eyes to see through yin and yang, so his feelings were not as profound as they are today.
"hiss!"
Nodding humanely, the little green snake who couldn't speak could only confirm Pei Wende's guess in this way.
Although it is feminine, it possesses a vitality that is not inferior to that of the sun. It is definitely not something that evil ghosts and monsters can possess.
Only those ghosts and gods who represent the orthodoxy of the underworld can possess this huge yin energy that is no different from Haoran's righteousness.
"really……"
A flash of understanding and enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and Pei Wende once again felt that this world was different from his previous life.
In addition to practitioners and ghosts, concepts such as the underworld, ghosts and gods, and the six paths of reincarnation also exist in this world.
What Pei Wende is more curious about now is that if the judge's pen and the book of life and death in myths and legends really exist in this world, what will happen to him as a "traveler"?
Black households? Stowaway? Or is it on the same list?
Of course, the greater possibility is that the book of life and death and the ratio of judges in this world are not as magical as I imagined.
"It seems that those ghosts and gods have no intention of interfering with the world of the world?"
This is the conclusion Pei Wende came to by observing Zhang Shusheng's disappearance, and it is also his judgment on some of his past experiences.
In the eyes of mortals, evil ghosts and ferocious spirits undoubtedly belong to the category of "ghosts".
But in fact, ghosts and gods seem to have their own set of judgments. They usually only appear near the souls of the dead who have been redeemed.
Maybe it's due to lack of manpower?
Or maybe dealing with evil ghosts and evil spirits is not within the scope of responsibilities of ghosts and gods?
In short, except for some rituals and spells dedicated to summoning ghosts and gods, Pei Wende has not seen any examples of ghosts and gods actively interfering in human affairs so far.
"But no matter what, they came at the wrong time."
Sighing softly, Pei Wende originally wanted to get more relevant clues from Zhang Shusheng's mouth.
As a result, the sudden disappearance of the other party made this idea come to nothing, and he could only continue to explore this dangerous ghost realm.
Fortunately, before Zhang Shusheng disappeared, he provided Pei Wende with an extremely crucial clue.
That is the husband of Li Gui in red, the eldest son of the Lu family - he is currently in front of the mourning hall of Li Gui in red, guarding the coffin of his deceased wife.
If Pei Wende can successfully find him, not to mention whether he can figure out the ins and outs of the whole incident, he can also be regarded as rescuing the survivors of the Lu Mansion in disguise.
After all, Pei Wende's original intention of coming here was to prevent the red ghost from hurting others, and he had no expectations about whether there would be any survivors in the Lu Mansion. Maybe it would be a good thing to save one more person after all.
"I just hope that Li Yanran can accept the fact that her eldest brother has become a madman."
"And the old man of the Lu family, is he dead or alive now?"
