Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

His eyebrows turned cold, he held Zhu Changshu's hand, and said, "Close your eyes!"

Zhu Changshu was sensible, closed her eyes, only listened to the wind in her ears, and almost fell to the ground again in the blink of an eye.When he opened his eyes, he saw that there was a big red palace wall in front of him!

"How did you come to the palace?"

When going out earlier, Tao Shuobai not only put on the breath barrier talisman himself, but also used one for Zhu Changshu, so as to hide the evil spirit on the other party.Seeing that he was puzzled at this time, he raised his hand to touch between his eyebrows, and a trace of fresh air entered his eyes, opening his yin and yang eyes.

Only then did Zhu Changshu see that outside the majestic gate of the palace, apart from the imperial guards on duty, there was actually a man wrapped in black energy trying to break into the palace gate, but those imperial guards turned a blind eye to it.Immediately afterwards he realized that it was not a human being, but a ghost!

"How is that ghost different?" Zhu Changshu thought that Tao Shuobai would not bring him here for no reason.

"He's demonizing." Tao Shuobai sighed: "He wanted to take revenge, but he couldn't enter the palace. I don't know what kind of opportunity he got, but he gathered so much hostility. If he survives, he will be demonized. Become an evil ghost who has no self-awareness and only knows how to kill; if he can't make it through, his soul will be scattered and he will never enter reincarnation."

Zhu Changshu frowned: "He wants to enter the palace, so his enemy is in the palace?"

Tao Shuobai didn't go around in circles, and told him directly: "His name is Zhang Jingxiu, and he is the eldest son of Zhang Juzheng."

When Zhu Changshu heard the name, he immediately understood.

Zhang Juzheng, everyone in this dynasty knows everyone. He was the prime minister during his lifetime, controlled the government, carried out reforms, and was ransacked and liquidated after his death.Zhang Juzheng had six sons and one daughter. After the house was confiscated, the eldest son committed suicide, the third son was exiled to the army, the fourth son was demoted to civilians, the fifth son was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, and the sixth son was exiled in the south of the Yangtze River.

As the eldest son, Zhang Jingxiu was the main interrogation target at the time of the incident. He was severely tortured and tortured in turn. In the end, Zhang Jingxiu couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by leaving a letter of death.His wife wanted to follow him, but she didn't die, so she destroyed her appearance and raised her orphan.

Regarding Zhang Jingxiu's desire to seek revenge from the emperor, Zhu Changshu could understand, but was puzzled: "He has been dead for many years, and he has to make trouble every year?"

Tao Shuobai didn't speak, but said in his heart: This year is different, perhaps because the membrane of the small world is damaged, the souls from another world come first, followed by butterfly wings, and troubles happen on Ghost Festival.

As an in-service civil servant in the underworld, naturally he couldn't just watch Zhang Jingxiu become demonized or lose his soul.Throwing the soul-binding rope, first bound the opponent, then raised his hand to draw in the air, swung his sleeves, and a string of golden flames flew out of his hand, flying around Zhang Jingxiu's group, Zhang Jingxiu was very frightened, and kept screaming Call.

This flame is the yang fire transformed from his own yang energy, which is stripping and melting the yin and hostile energy wrapped around Zhang Jingxiu's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally Zhang Jingxiu turns back into an ordinary ghost.

Finally, he played a flying talisman.

During the ghost festival, ghosts walk at night, and the underworld will send many ghost messengers to patrol, but most of them are concentrated in the ghost market.Now when he sends out the flying talisman, he summons the nearest ghost messenger.

Not long after, two ghost messengers came.

In Zhu Changshu's eyes, the two ghosts look like ordinary people, and they are dressed like the officials of the yamen of the Yangjian dynasty, but they are not equipped with government sticks or swords. Instead, they wear chains. There is a wooden waist plate on the ghost guard's waist, and the inscription "Ghost Festival Management Office of Hell/No. [-]/Ghost Festival Duty Team First Brigade Subordinate Third Squad" is clearly in extremely small characters, but he can read it clearly In addition, only the names of the two ghost messengers are very conspicuous.

The figures of the two ghosts appear and disappear from time to time, they were still far away just now, but they are already approaching in the blink of an eye.

The two ghost messengers were shocked when they saw Tao Shuobai, and hurriedly saluted: "It's Mr. Tao, the villain didn't know Mr. Tao was here, so he was negligent."

Tao Shuobai raised his hand and pointed: "That Zhang Jingxiu was almost demonized, you two take him back."

"There is such a thing!" The ghost messenger was also surprised, and hurriedly nodded in obedience.

Tao Shuobai withdraws the soul-binding rope, and the ghost messenger throws the chain, which seems to be alive, and automatically flies to Zhang Jingxiu, binding him layer by layer.The same as when he came, the ghost messenger appeared and disappeared from time to time, and finally disappeared at the intersection of the street.

Seeing everything, Zhu Changshu's complexion was normal, but her eyes became darker, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Tao Shuobai deliberately let him see all this, and seeing his performance again, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.You must know that mortals are very jealous of ghosts, no matter how good they say, they are basically Ye Gong who loves dragons.He was really interested in seeing Zhu Changshu before, and he also had experience in the previous world, so even though he just met Zhu Changshu just now, he had other plans.

If Zhu Changshu in this life still proposes to practice Taoism with him, he will agree.

Perhaps it was God's will, Zhu Changshu was obsessed with Taoism when he was born.

Just as he was about to rush to Cheng Ping'an's place, Zhu Changshu suddenly asked, "What does the 'No. [-]' on the ghost badge mean?"

"Number." Tao Shuobai is avoiding the important and neglecting the important. In fact, "Number A [-]" is the serial number of this small world, but it's hard to explain it to him, and he will definitely have more questions.

"Oh." Unexpectedly, Zhu Changshu didn't ask any more, but changed the subject very wittily: "Where are you going now?"

Previously, he only knew that Tao Shuobai had something to do at night, but he didn't know what it was.

Thinking of the delay, Cheng Pingan was afraid that Cheng Ping'an would be in trouble, so he took Zhu Changshu directly to the sky.Because of the use of the barrier breath talisman, none of the people and ghosts in the house were aware of it when they arrived at Lotus Lane, and they were still telling their divorce. When the mother returned to the sun, Cheng's mother and daughter-in-law were in a state of anxiety. They were deeply afraid that they would go to hell and prison after returning to the underworld, but they dared not tell Yuniang, so they could only continue to comfort and ask.

Tao Shuobai came to the door without making a sound, and when he entered the door, he remembered something, turned around and patted Zhu Changshu, hiding his figure, and transmitted the sound into secret: "From now on, don't make a sound."

Zhu Changshu nodded.

Tao Shuobai raised his hand to touch the door, the latch inside fell off automatically, and the door opened.This movement attracted the attention of the ghosts in the house. As soon as he came in, Cheng's mother instinctively sensed the danger and immediately seemed to run away.As soon as Tao Shuobai stretched out his hand, Cheng's mother and daughter-in-law fell to the ground screaming, their faces alternately pale and ferocious, and there was nothing on their backs, but they seemed to be crushed by a huge boulder, struggling in pain.

Cheng Yuniang was frightened, she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Tian, ​​please forgive my mother and sister-in-law. They are all for me, and we did not harm anyone. Please be merciful, Master Tian, ​​and we will return to the underworld right away. "

"No!" Cheng's mother yelled, how could her daughter give up such a golden opportunity so easily.She and her daughter-in-law have long made up their minds, even if their souls are scattered, they must keep the chance of Yuniang returning to life.

It is said that in the past and present life, once you die in this life, you become a ghost, drink Mengpo soup, forget your past and reincarnate.But when a person is dead, love is still there, and all attachments are in this life, whether it is love or hatred, you can't let go!The afterlife is far away, and people are only in the present moment. Even if they do everything, they want to protect what they have now.What's more, you don't know how many ghosts there are until you arrive in the underworld. It's not easy to want that bowl of Mengpo soup. Cheng's mother and daughter-in-law are considered good ones, so they have to wait three to fifty years.

But Yuniang was terrified. Although she missed her father and brother, she was more dependent on her mother. She never knew that parting from her mother was so difficult, and now because of her, her mother and sister-in-law would all be wiped out. She couldn't bear it.Immediately, he took the initiative to leave his body and rushed to his mother and sister-in-law.

Tao Shuobai withdrew the spell.

The three of Cheng's mother hugged their heads and cried together.

The peace of regaining control of the body was still in a daze for a while.She stared at Tao Shuobai, her heart was more turbulent than seeing Cheng's mother and the three of them, her mind was screaming: Who is he? !

Tao Shuobai didn't look at Ping'an, but at the Cheng family three.

In fact, if Yuniang doesn't come out by himself, although he has the ability to drag Yuniang out, he won't do that.He was already closer to the ghost people, and Yu Niang returned to her body. No matter what the front line is, this is also Yuniang's chance, even if the ghosts come, it will be difficult.Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuniang finally gave up by herself, which made Tao Shuobai feel a little bit emotional. In the final analysis, he was the one who indirectly helped Ping An.

Finally he looked at Cheng Pingan: "You used Yuniang's body and owed her a karma. Will you pay it back in this life or after death?"

"Cause and effect..." Of course Ping An knew the cause and effect, but she was still in shock until she opened her mouth to speak, and then slowly regained her composure.Realizing that she was still kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly got up, but her body went limp and fell to the ground, as if she had no strength in her whole body.

"You think it's as simple as being a ghost? Yu Niang is a ghost after all. Even if she doesn't take the initiative, she will involuntarily absorb your anger. This body loses most of its vitality, so it is naturally weak." After all, Cheng Pingan's luck is good, Otherwise, if someone else hadn't been murdered by the ghost, she would have been injured in her soul and body, but she only injured her body.

Yu Niang was ashamed when she heard the words, and hid in Cheng Mu's arms inexplicably frightened.

What else can Ping An say besides sighing unlucky?

Thinking about what the other person said, he asked cautiously: "How to pay back in this life? How to pay back after death?"

As I said before, Cheng Ping'an never liked to owe people, but she still owed such a big karma. She prefers to repay it as soon as possible in this life, otherwise she will always have a burden in her heart, as if this life was robbed.It's just that she also has self-knowledge. With her current status and situation, if it's too difficult, she can't do anything about it.

"If you pay back in this life, you will fulfill your long-cherished wish on behalf of Yuniang. If you pay back after death, all kinds of karma will be cleared and accumulated, such a big cause and effect... I am afraid you will stay in the underworld for hundreds or thousands of years." This is not an exaggeration, although A person's life is only a mere hundred years, but seizing the house and being reborn is completely different. You don't take another person's life, and you pay it back for a hundred years. After all, if ghosts choose to be reincarnated or return to the sun directly, most of them choose the latter. Causal karma is even more complicated.

Even if Ping An doesn't know what the underworld is like, it is definitely not an easy thing to think of being a ghost for hundreds of thousands of years.

"I don't know Yuniang's long-cherished wish..."

Cheng's mother thought she was doomed, but she didn't want to turn around, and she was so pleasantly surprised.She is very clear about Yuniang's temperament, even if she is still positive, she can't do anything, and it is not easy to live well.Now that Yuniang can't return the sun, what else can Cheng's mother and the three expect?

This time, Yuniang didn't wait for Cheng's mother to open her mouth, and said to Ping An first, "I hope the Cheng family can be rehabilitated!"

This is exactly the extravagant hope of Cheng's mother and daughter-in-law. Once rehabilitated, Cheng Zhang and his son will be acquitted and even reinstated.

Ping'an had a bitter face, how could she have such great ability.

Yu Niang's eyes were burning, she seemed to trust her very much, and she gave a respectful salute: "It was Yu Niang's fault for scaring my sister tonight, please sister Haihan. This is Yuniang's wish, I beg my sister to take pity on her and help Yu Niang If Niang fulfills this wish, Yu Niang will never forget her sister's kindness."

"I, I will try my best." Although Pingan felt sorry for Cheng Yuniang, but finally nodded in agreement, thinking that she is Cheng Yuniang now.What will happen in the future is very unpredictable. If someone is dissatisfied with her and finds out the old case, her life will not be peaceful.

Yu Niang was overjoyed, she met Cheng's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, thanked Tao Shuo again, and left without staying any longer.

Seeing the end of the matter, Tao Shuobai told Pingan before leaving: "You made an agreement with Yuniang, don't forget it, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Don't look at it as a verbal agreement, but because it is voluntary, it is an effective contract among the ghost people in the underworld.In the past, some people made agreements with ghosts to achieve various goals, but many of them broke the contract, but all of these people ended up miserable.

Ping An is not perfunctory, but still grateful to the other party for reminding, if he obeyed the other party's reminder during the day, there will be no scares from these disputes tonight.Seeing that he was about to leave, Ping An couldn't bear to ask: "Who are you?"

Tao Shuobai didn't answer, and left with the invisible Zhu Changshu.

Zhu Changshu was very quiet until he returned to the shop, Tao Shuobai saw that there was nothing wrong with his expression, so he didn't pay attention.Little did he know that at this time, Zhu Changshu experienced a wonderful trip overnight, and his mentality had already changed, and a thought quietly took root in his heart.
