Chapter 220 Bribing the Ghost
For three whole days and three nights, the old man from Tianshan continuously transported his true energy day and night. His body seemed to be drained dry and he lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were still bright.
Finally, Yan Wuque suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then fell down weakly.
The old man from Tianshan slowly stood up, stretched, and then walked out of the room with a unsteady gait.
Jing Zichu and others outside the house had red eyes from staying up all night, and they stared at the door nervously.
When they saw the old man from Tianshan coming out, they rushed forward impatiently and asked anxiously, "How is my eldest brother?"
The old man from Tianshan replied with a smile: "I'm not going to die, I'm just starving. Hurry up and get me something to eat. By the way, I'll go see that girl." After saying that, he turned and left.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when Yun Yuxi was mentioned, their relaxed mood became tense again.
Yue Lan quietly stayed beside Yun Yuxi, not leaving her side. Yun Yuxi's weak chest rose and fell slightly, otherwise people would have mistaken her for a corpse.
The space baby was so happy looking at the rising points that he couldn't close his mouth. He excitedly communicated with Yun Yuxi, but no matter how he called, he could not get a response from Yun Yuxi.
The space baby began to worry, muttering to himself: "Will she be in trouble?"
The space baby soon forgot about this matter, ate roast chicken, got busy in the space, and went for a stroll in the medicinal garden.
The old man from Tianshan felt Yun Yuxi's pulse and muttered to himself: "I really didn't expect that he was still such an infatuated child. Tsk tsk tsk. Fortunately, he just didn't want to wake up. I thought that boy was dead."
"Old Immortal, is the princess really okay?" Yue Lan asked worriedly, moistening Yun Yuxi's lips with a cloth dipped in water.
"Girl, don't worry, she won't die. As long as that boy wakes up, we can wake her up with all our heart," said the old man from Tianshan in an indifferent tone.
Although Lingyi was angry when he saw the old man Tianshan, he still respectfully prepared a lot of food for him.
The old man from Tianshan started to eat voraciously. Soon, a pile of chicken bones and a whole pot of fish soup went into his stomach. He burped and said:
"Boy, I like you. How about I teach you a few moves? But you have to arrange a bed for me first. I haven't slept for several days and I'm very tired."
When Lingyi heard this, his eyes lit up and he was secretly delighted. The martial arts of the old man from Tianshan were unfathomable. If he could get his guidance, it would be a rare opportunity. So, Lingyi hurriedly said, "Old man, are you serious?"
The old man from Tianshan scolded impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and make arrangements, wait until the Taoist wakes up!"
Lingyi muttered to himself: "I don't know who this old man is, he has unfathomable martial arts skills and superb medical skills.
It would be really hard to get his guidance!" However, his face remained calm without showing any abnormality.
Lingyi led the old man Tianshan to his room. After the old man lay down, he began to snore loudly.
He smiled slightly, covered the old man from Tianshan with a quilt considerately, then walked out of the room quietly and returned to guard Yan Wuque.
Yan Wuque had a very long dream. He dreamed that he died and Yun Yuxi cried bitterly. He wanted to touch Yun Yuxi's face, but it was impossible to do so.
The Black and White Impermanence hooked him and led him forward. The black passage seemed to have no end.
He heard Yun Yuxi crying and asked him why she wanted to leave.
He saw Yun Yuxi lying on his chest, and said that once his leg recovered, they would become a real couple.
She also said that she wanted to have children with him. Yan Wuque was anxious to comfort Yun Yuxi, but no sound came out of his mouth.
He wanted to break free from the chains of the Black and White Impermanence and run towards Yun Yuxi, but no matter how he struggled, it was of no avail.
He heard the Black and White Impermanence scolding him, "Yan Wuque, according to the Book of Life and Death, your death date has indeed not yet arrived, but for some reason your soul is wandering outside."
"Master Ghost Officer, please let me go. You also said that my life span has not yet come to an end, so why do you still want to lock me up?"
"Boy, we have responsibilities too. The King of Hell has stipulated that all wandering ghosts must be brought back to the underworld for interrogation. If you are someone like you who has not yet reached the end of his life span, you only need to explain the situation to the King of Hell in the underworld and he will send you back."
"Gentlemen, could you please be flexible? My wife is still waiting for me. Could you please say a few good words to the King of Hell? I will burn lots of paper money for you." Yan Wuque pleaded to the Black and White Impermanence with a horrified face.
Hei Wuchang's eyes turned and he came up with a plan: "It's not impossible. Your life span has not yet ended. I will discuss it with my second brother. After all, if the King of Hell finds out about this, we will be in a lot of trouble." After saying that, he pulled Bai Wuchang aside and whispered to himself.
Yan Wuque looked at them nervously, praying in his heart for a good outcome.
The Black and White Impermanence stood in front of Yan Wuque and began to discuss.
"Brother, we work so hard every day, and the King of Hell's salary is too low. We can make some extra money and no one will know about it. But you also know the King of Hell's methods. How do you think we should deal with this matter?" Bai Wuchang said with a worried look on his face.
Hei Wuchang sighed and frowned, "Second brother, if you don't tell me about this and I don't tell you, how would the King of Hell know? The little salary he pays us in a month is not enough for us to find a few female ghosts!"
Bai Wuchang was moved after hearing this, but still a little worried: "But..."
Hei Wuchang interrupted him: "There is no but. As long as we do it secretly, no one will find out. Besides, this guy looks quite rich, so he should be able to give us a lot of benefits."
Bai Wuchang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, let's do it. But we have to be careful and not let the King of Hell find out."
Hei Wuchang smiled complacently: "Don't worry, second brother, I know my limits. Let's take this guy to the underworld first, and then find a way to get some benefits from him."
As he said that, Hei Wuchang turned around and gave Yan Wuque a strange smile: "Boy, come with us."
Yan Wuque's heart tightened and he nodded helplessly, then followed the Black and White Impermanence towards the underworld.
In a remote place, the Black and White Impermanence said: "Boy, burn us 200,000 taels of silver on Qingming Festival, and we will let you go. You will lose your life if you don't pay any more. You also know what we do. If you don't want to be haunted again, I advise you to be sensible."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wuque was delighted and said: "Don't worry, I am a prince in the world of the living after all, and I should abide by the agreement. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will burn 300,000 taels of silver for you on Qingming Festival as a way to repay your kindness today."
