Chapter 86 The Underworld Governor,
When I suddenly raised my head, Bai Wuchang spoke slowly: "Your lifespan in the book of life and death is only written until you leave the army. In other words, you should have died a few days ago."
Bai Wuchang changed the subject and said: "However, the underworld allows you to borrow your life. If you want to live, you must accept the secret order of the Underworld to capture the earth soul for the underworld."
"Every time you complete a task, the underworld will give you a corresponding life span. On the contrary, the ghost messenger will not come to pick up the ghost, but will come to pick you up."
Bai Wuchang pointed at Li Yulan and said: "Let's take her for example: her earthly soul is included in the Xuan-level secret order and can be exchanged for ten years of life. However, if you sacrifice her human soul, you can only live according to the specifications of the Huang-level secret order.
, in exchange for five years of life.”
After Bai Wuchang explained, I learned that the secret orders issued by the underworld are divided into four levels: "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang". The life span of the yellow level is five years, the Xuan level is ten years, and so on. The heaven-level secret orders can be exchanged for forty years of life.
The underworld will deduct the reward of the task according to the completion of the task. The life span of the first yellow level is five years, and the life span of the third yellow level is one year. If the task fails, not only will no reward be given, but the past rewards will also be deducted. If it is not possible, it will be a warlock.
A desperate death.
After listening to this, I couldn't help but ask: "Why doesn't the underworld capture the ghosts themselves?"
Bai Wuchang said: "Because the underworld made an agreement with the Yang world in ancient times. The underworld does not care about the rights and wrongs of the Yang world, and the warlocks do not care about the affairs of the underworld."
"You are a warlock. You should know that ghosts will return directly to the underworld when they cannot catch ghosts, right? This is not because ghosts are lazy, but because the escaped ghosts should be handled by human warlocks. The underworld does not
Intervene again."
"Whether the warlock sends those wandering souls to the underworld or kills them on the spot, the underworld won't ask any questions."
Bai Wuchang said in a paused voice: "This is why the underworld needs people like you."
I immediately grasped the key point in Bai Wuchang's words: "What the Patriarch means is that I am not the only one who works for the underworld?"
"Of course not!" Bai Wuchang said: "There are more than a thousand earth souls that the underworld needs to capture. Is it enough for you alone?"
"All the gods of the underworld, except for the Ten Palaces of Yama, have left their own traditions in the Yang world. The five ghost emperors, the four great judges, the bull-headed and horse-faced men, the ten great Yin commanders, and our brothers all have disciples walking in the human world. Those warlocks are all doing this.
The same thing is to borrow life from the underworld."
Bai Wuchang said: "Of course, you also have the right to refuse to work for the underworld and enjoy your five years of life."
I smiled bitterly: "Is it possible for me to refuse?"
I have too many things to do and too many unfulfilled wishes.
If I were seventy or eighty now, I might still enjoy life and return to the underworld as Bai Wuchang said. But I am only twenty years old.
Many years later, when I told someone about the scene at that time, the person said something to me: People cannot have desires. If they have desires, they have to work hard for it, either realize it or give up.
At that time, I was almost like this! Where did my father go and where did my master go? Which one did I have to find? Which one could I let go of?
Bai Wuchang nodded and said: "Very good! Take this token!"
I took the token from Bai Wuchang's hand and took a closer look. It actually said: "Governor of the Yin Division"
"Is this an official position?" When I looked at Bai Wuchang, the latter nodded slightly and said, "An official position with name but no power."
"This status just means that you are under the jurisdiction of the underworld. Even if you run out of life, the ghosts have no right to arrest your soul before receiving an official order from the underworld."
"In addition, it also has two small functions. The first function is that when you borrow troops from the underworld, you can not give any benefits to the other party. The premise is that the reason for borrowing troops must be in accordance with the rules."
"The second function is that you can ask the ghost messenger to help you clean up the beginning and the end. For example, after you kill someone, he will help you destroy the body and eliminate traces. We in the underworld will lose face if we are caught and sentenced in the underworld.
So pretty.”
As soon as Bai Wuchang finished speaking, Hei Wuchang said: "The governor's order is not issued casually. If you failed to pass the test of our brothers before, you will die."
After I put the token away solemnly, I said, "If I meet other governors while performing my mission, can I kill someone?"
I ask this not because I am overbearing and murderous, but because the world is a place where interests are fought for.
I want to live, and others don't want to die. Things that snatch longevity are bound to happen. When that time comes, I can't fight back, and I have to live depressed to death.
Bai Wuchang laughed and said: "Let it go and kill it. Those people know how to protect their shortcomings, and the descendants of our brothers cannot suffer. If you have the ability to slaughter those people's orthodoxy, naturally our brothers will come forward to mediate for you. It's no big deal.
things."
"After all, our brother's orthodoxy in the human world only has three descendants. If we don't protect you, who will protect you?"
Three descendants?
Chapter completed!
