Chapter 294: Merit and virtue, luring with benefits
Hu Bayi suddenly had an impulse to do something bad with good intentions, and his heart was filled with guilt.
He looked at the direction where the Black and White Impermanence left, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and chanted, "Seventh Master, Eighth Master, don't be surprised if there is something strange, don't be surprised if there is something strange!"
"Hehe, isn't it too early to worship them now?"
"who?!!"
"Who is speaking?"
Hu Bayi glanced around but didn't see any human figure. In addition to Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang also heard the sound, and he immediately opened the gun safety.
"Come out to me if you have the guts, don't play tricks on me!"
"Hahaha, why are you playing tricks on me?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the two of them, as if squeezed out of a space bubble.
He was a young man, with a handsome appearance, wearing a black Taoist robe embroidered with dragon patterns. The strange thing was that his eyes were like black holes in the abyss, reaching straight into the underworld.
Hu Bayi felt a sense of extraordinary majesty and the unparalleled arrogance of someone who held power at the highest level from the temperament of the young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest's face suddenly became amiable. He smiled gently, bowed his head in Taoist style, and said, "Gatekeeper, Luo Feng, nice to meet you two laymen!"
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang looked at each other, and then looked at Fengdu Daojun. After all, Hu Bayi was the dominant one among the two, so Hu Bayi stepped forward and clasped his fists slightly.
"May I ask who this Taoist priest is?"
"Gatekeepers! You can also call us Soul-Suppressing Generals!"
Hu Bayi pondered over these two titles, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the relationship between them, so he had to ask Fengdu Taoist about his origins.
Fengdu Daojun shook his head and said in a secretive manner: "It cannot be said, it cannot be said. This is not a matter of the Yang world. You two were dragged into this because you met those two sinister people. I am here to advise you not to tell others what happened just now. It is better to forget it."
“Otherwise…” Fengdu Daojun looked at the two of them with a cold expression, full of warning.
"Hey, you want to be beaten, don't you?"
Fatty Wang obviously didn't have much patience, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to take action: "Why didn't we wipe out all those monsters like you back then, and let you go?"
"Fatty!!!"
Hu Bayi frowned and called Fatty Wang to stop.
"Master Taoist, my friend has an impatient temper. Please forgive me. But may I ask where those two little guys, the ones you mentioned as Yin Gui, were taken by the Seventh and Eighth Masters?" Hu Bayi apologized.
Fengdu Daojun laughed and said, "The Black and White Impermanence are arresting people. Need I say more? It's the underworld, of course!"
He looked at the anxious expressions of the two and said directly, "I might as well explain it to you clearly!"
"Emperors and generals of all dynasties have had the habit of building large tombs and underworld palaces. The earliest can be traced back to ancient times. But at that time, it was to fight against evil spirits after death and protect the human race with the bodies of heroes. This move is respectable and admirable."
"But later, since the pre-Qin period, things have gradually changed. Some have evolved into simply protecting their descendants, while some emperors, generals, and other powerful people, who are reluctant to give up the prosperity of the world and are greedy for the mortal world, seek disguised immortality in order to escape the pursuit of the underworld."
“They even borrowed the power of Feng Shui to transform the area into a Yin Courtyard, isolating it from the underworld. After these people died, they were affected by the Yin energy of the ground and turned into evil ghosts, strange corpses, monsters, etc.”
"What the Black and White Impermanence did just now was nothing wrong. It was to maintain the order of heaven and earth. Yin and Yang have their own rules. The Yin go to the underworld, and the Yang are in the human world. It has its own rules, and there will be no exceptions for millions of years!" "In other words, the underworld is real?!" Hu Bayi said in surprise.
"Of course it is true, but it is very different from what you imagined!" Fengdu Taoist looked at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan strangely.
"If there is an underworld, does that mean those two little ancestors can be reincarnated?" Fatty Wang was somewhat happy about this.
After all, in his opinion, the two mercury boys are kind and innocent, and good people should be rewarded.
Just when the two were expecting Fengdu Daojun to give the answer in his mind, Fengdu Daojun shook his head and said, "Those who disrupt the order of yin and yang, what do you think should be done?"
"No matter if he is guilty or not, his existence itself is a crime. After being brought back by the Black and White Impermanence, he should receive the punishment he deserves!"
"No, why!"
Fatty Wang stepped forward and wanted to grab Fengdu Taoist by the collar to question him, but Fengdu Taoist swept him away with a wave of his sleeve and he rolled backwards several times.
After trying several times, Fatty Wang didn't even have a chance to get close.
Wang Kaixuan was extremely excited, and kept saying, "Why? Those two children were so pitiful. They suffered so much when they were alive. They were finally buried in peace, but they were dragged out to suffer in the underworld. They can't even let them have a good life after death. Isn't this bullying honest people!"
Hu Bayi hugged Wang Kaixuan tightly, trying to stop him from going to Fengdu Daojun to "seek death"!
After all, Hu Bayi could also see that the Taoist priest in front of him was definitely not simple. He might be a god or a ghost, and be in cahoots with the Black and White Impermanence.
Finally, Wang Kaixuan was stopped by Hu Bayi. Fatty Wang sat on the ground, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Hu Bayi also had a sad look on his face. He took out a cigarette and smoked it fiercely.
Things have come to this point, this is the rule, there is nothing we can do but accept it!
Suddenly, he looked at Fengdu Daojun and asked, "If Fatty and I hadn't brought those two mercury corpses to the ground, would this not have happened?"
Fengdu Daojun smiled and said, "That's not the case. You destroyed this Yinxue cemetery. The situation has already been lost. You can no longer provide shelter for those two evil boys. It's only a matter of time before you catch them."
"Mākāra shuts up his room, Vimalakirti keeps his mouth shut. The net of heaven is wide and wide, and nothing can escape it. How can you, the people here, get through it?"
"Speaking of which, the three of you destroyed this place, which was also a contribution to the heaven and earth. Although you offended the ghost catcher of the underworld, the two of you did not blame us."
"The laws of the underworld are clear. Merits should be rewarded, and faults should be punished. However, the scale of this Yinxue cemetery is not very large. With your achievements, I can record a small merit as a good deed."
"Merit? Good deeds?"
Fatty Wang curled his lips and said, "I, Wang Kaixuan, grew up in a spring breeze. What do I need that Yin De for? Can it be used as money?"
"can!"
? !!
Hearing this, Fatty Wang wiped his face immediately, his expression changed so quickly, and then he quickly asked: "Is what you said true?"
Fengdu Daojun asked meaningfully, "Are you two sure you want to convert this good deed into money in the world of the living?"
“Yes…woooo!”
Hu Bayi quickly covered Fatty Wang's mouth. With his smart mind, he immediately understood that Fengdu Taoist had something else in his words. It seemed that exchanging it for money would be the least beneficial option for him.
He quickly asked, "Master, what else can I exchange it for besides money?"
