Chapter 25 Choice

Perhaps it is just a fate that can change the fate of a lifetime.

"We have no time, we must leave before the rooster crows, otherwise we will be left here forever!" The old Taoist priest warned and urged the three of us.

In order to repay the debts owed by our fathers, we need to pay them back with other people's lives. I can't accept it, and my two companions can't accept it either. However, the accountant's gentleman scolded: "Then you stay and repay it yourself!"

Brother Zhenmin raised his head and responded: "If you stay, stay. I can't harm others for myself, otherwise I won't have a good ending!"

The old Taoist priest hurriedly wanted to persuade him, and Brother Zhenmin asked: "Master, are you a monk or an unknown disciple of Quanzhen Sect? How could we let us harm others for ourselves? Even if the law does not punish me, I will feel uneasy inside and I can't do it!"

Yang Luji looked at me and waited for my statement. I stood beside Brother Zhenmin. Xiaoma also glanced at the old Taoist priest and followed him.

The old guy looked helpless and said angrily: "Since you don't listen to my advice, then I can do nothing."

The Ghost Emperor's face changed and he scolded coldly: "This is your choice. Then I will explain in advance that you will stay as slaves and do not disobey the orders of my deity. Otherwise, I can throw you into hell. If you dare to escape, it will not only make you lose your soul, but will also implicate your family!"

I immediately responded: "Even if I stay with you to do hard work, I will not harm others!"

The Ghost Emperor waved his hand and signaled the accountant to take out the contract.

The contract is written clearly in black and white. Although it is traditional Chinese, I can still understand it. I asked: "Your Highness, I wonder what kind of hard work we will do after we leave it?"

Yang Luji looked at me and showed a surprised look.

The Ghost Emperor said: "Lu Ji, come and introduce their errands!"

Lu Ji responded and admitted: "If you stay now, you must sign a contract to sell yourself, become the lowest level ghost man, responsible for executing Your Highness's orders, usually creating disasters for the world, sending diseases, and taking his life."

Brother Zhenmin was shocked after hearing this, and I was also surprised. It turned out that the ghost officer did this kind of thing. Could it be that all the disasters, diseases and deaths in the world were caused by the ghost officer?

The accountant and the old Taoist priest showed a sneer. The Ghost Emperor explained: "The people in the world are becoming more and more impetuous, and are more and more eager for quick success and instant benefits. For the sake of money and power, they can do anything. There is no way. Who makes more and more people in the world? The responsibility of the Ghost Author is to reduce the number of people in the world and warn the world that if you decide, sign the contract!"

I hesitated with the contract and quickly calculated in my heart that if I stayed, I wonder how many disasters it would bring to the world? But if I had to spend twenty lives to pay off my debts, I couldn't bear it.

Lu Ji advised me: "Actually, it's good to be a ghost servant, at least it controls the fate of many people!"

When the three of us were at a loss, the crowing of roosters came from outside.

There is no time, we must choose immediately.

But Brother Zhenmin and Xiaoma were completely confused, and I immediately said to the Ghost King: "We choose to repay the debts we owe with our lives! We will not sign this contract!"

After hearing this, the accountant immediately scolded: "It's too late, the rooster is already crowing!"

I immediately approached the old Taoist priest and urged: "Take us out of here quickly, otherwise you will get nothing!"

The old Taoist priest looked at the three of us, and I looked at the Ghost Emperor again and begged him to let us go.

The accountant ordered two "snowmen" in the main hall to detain us. Yang Luji immediately repelled the two "snowmen" and then pleaded with the Ghost Emperor.

"Please let them go, they will definitely pay off their debts as much as possible!" Lu Ji begged the Ghost Emperor.

"How do you know that they can repay their debts as expected?" Ghost Emperor asked.

Yang Luji immediately said: "I am willing to guarantee the three of them. If they fail to repay the money as expected when the expiration date, I will personally ask for their souls and hand them over to your Highness for disposal!"

The Ghost Emperor nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to signal that we could leave.

The accountant obviously didn't want the three of us to leave just like this, so he warned coldly: "The rooster is already crowing, I'm afraid you can't leave!"

The old Taoist priest immediately ordered the three of us: "Follow me, I'm not responsible for rescue if I fall behind!" He leaned over to the Ghost Emperor and then turned around and hurriedly left the main hall. The three of us followed us out. When we walked out of the main hall, I looked back and saw Lu Ji's reluctance to leave.

The accountant's wife showed a slight smile. Lu Ji wanted to come out to see us farewell, but he stretched out his arms to stop her.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the ancient temple, the old Taoist priest was blocked by an invisible wall. Brother Zhenmin had no time to stop and immediately hit him in the back.

I hurriedly grabbed the pony, and the night sky was particularly dark at this time.

"No, we are blocked by the barriers in the two worlds!" the old Taoist priest explained.

Brother Zhenmin immediately asked: "What should we do? Do we really can't leave here?"

The old Taoist priest calmly replied: "Fortunately, I was prepared for it!" He immediately turned around, grabbed three Taoist talismans from his pocket, recited the decision in his mouth, ignited the Taoist talisman, and ordered: "Open your mouth!"

Seeing that we did not respond, he ordered again: "You all open your mouth!"

Brother Zhenmin immediately did as he did, and the old guy immediately stuffed a ball of burning Taoist talisman into his mouth.

I felt disgusted when I saw it, but the old Taoist priest must have made sense of doing this, so he had to open his mouth, and a ball of hot heat stuck in my throat, unable to swallow or vomit.

When I was feeling uncomfortable, I heard the heavy footsteps coming from the yard behind me, and turned my head to look at me and saw two "snowmen" slowly walking towards us.

These two "snowmen" walked towards us, shaking the chains, as if they wanted to capture us. The snow on their bodies gradually melted, revealing the dark clothes and a foul stench, like the smell of the corpse rotting. I hurriedly put on a mask.

The lanterns hanging at the entrance of the ancient temple were lit up. With the light of the lanterns, I saw these two "snowmen" revealing their broken clothes and rotten faces.

"The Supreme Lord is as quick as the law, and the heavenly soldiers and generals come to help me quickly! Break!" The old Taoist priest recited the decision and saw a ray of light emitted from the snow outside the main entrance of the temple, illuminating our way forward.

The old Taoist priest stretched out his arms and grabbed someone with one hand, but only pulled me down. Brother Zhenmin hurriedly reached out and grabbed me.

However, these two "snowmen" chased after me, shook the chain in their hands, wrapped around my ankles, and pulled them into the yard with force.

I hurriedly grabbed Brother Zhenmin's hand, and Xiaoma also stretched out one hand to answer me.

The old Taoist priest immediately scolded: "Let go, otherwise none of us will want to leave here!" He grabbed my two companions and rushed out of the yard with the strong wind.

The strength of the two "snowmen" is getting stronger and stronger. I feel that my feet are being pulled off. Brother Zhenmin and Xiaoma's hands are also being pulled tightly. "Don't let go, hold on!" Brother Zhenmin reminds me.

However, Xiaoma could no longer hold on. When my hand relaxed, I retreated back. Brother Zhenmin had to let go. I was immediately dragged into the yard by two "snowmen". I watched the old Taoist priest rushed out of the far door with Brother Zhenmin and Xiaoma, and quickly escaped with the light.
