Chapter 664: The Unchanging Invitation of the Soul

  I stared at the scorching golden flames, quickly put down the Millennium Black Gold Stone in my hand, spat a mouthful of saliva on the palms of both hands, rubbed them twice, and with a "plop" sound, finally extinguished the Golden Flame Catcher.

  Then I called over Tie Yi to study and explore its subtleties!

  Iron Clothes probably froze out of fear! He wouldn't take another step forward, even when he was just one step away from the stone body. It's rare to see this guy get anxious too. I swung my Thousand Year Black Gold Stone back and forth a couple times, Iron Clothes hastily dodged, almost getting angry for real. I looked down on him with disdain for half the day, this kind of condescending gaze really is refreshing.

  After the iron clothes softened, I stopped struggling and carefully examined the thing in my hand with Tie Yi. The fine black stone pillar had just turned into a fine black stone rod.

  At this time, the white quartzite above our heads quietly appeared with a cluster of black fog. If it weren't for the inverted reflection under direct sunlight, even Gui Cuo Tie Yi had hardly noticed it.

  As the thick fog gradually lifted, two objects floated down from it - one black and one white. To my surprise, I saw two familiar faces!

  No wonder, slowly falling from the black fog are actually Old Black Fan Wujue and Little White Xie Bizhen, the infamous Yin Messengers of the Underworld! I don't know why these two suddenly appeared here, it makes me very curious!

  As it happens, these two guys' entrance was quite a spectacle.

  Black light column, white paper flowers, floating long tongue, gentle and deep affectionate appearance, the picture is gorgeous and eye-catching.

  As the figure fell, Old Black Fan had no choice but to hold back his tears with his left hand while holding onto the second-ranked Ghost-Tethering Rope in the Top Ten Yin Soldiers with his right. Xiao Bai Xie Bi'an appeared out of thin air with a majestic aura, his right hand grasping the Summoning Banner and his left hand holding onto the third-ranked Ghost-Restraining Chain among the Top Ten Yin Soldiers.

  Who would have thought that as soon as these two guys landed, the Millennium Black Gold Stone in my hand shook violently, almost falling out of my hands, like holding a giant water gun that was spraying wildly.

  And these two famous Yin agents had not yet finished showing off their formation, but were absorbed by the thousand-year-old black gold and stood unsteadily, no longer pretending to be arrogant, desperately pressing themselves to the ground, their long fingernails almost inserted into the white quartz rock, like a plow, still unable to stop their bodies, flying towards me.

  I never expected this situation, if Iron Clothes hadn't pulled me away, I would have been knocked into a concussion by these two. To say that both of them, although I dodged the collision, but these two yin messengers were slammed onto the rock wall, their tongues suddenly grew much longer, and their majestic entrance was completely overturned.

  Looking at the two yin messengers tightly grasping the ground, Tie Yi stepped forward with a fist and said, "The two masters, Cui Jing's descendant Cui Ming and Tie Ying's descendant Tie Yi have arrived." This old-fashioned greeting made me feel embarrassed to acknowledge it. Mobile phone mobile terminal first launch address:

  "Stop messing around and quickly separate our tongues, Xiao Cui brother, use the Devouring Abyss Hand to control this thousand-year-old Black Gold. The suction is too strong, I can't hold on anymore, if I absorb any more I'll be done for." Ah, the violent collision just now directly entwined the two of their tongues together, instantly recreating the perfect scene of Iron Clothes Ancestor Tie Cheng fighting alone against the four great Yin messengers back in the day.

  "After hearing Lao Hei's words, I quickly rubbed the fire and, with a 'ding' sound from my hands, turned into gold. The tremors of this thousand-year-old Wujin Stone then stopped!"

  At this moment, looking at the black and white irregularities, sitting on the ground, one side unties the tongue, while letting out a long sigh. Looking at the shape, there are several large holes in the clothes, the tongue is tied up, blood is overflowing from the corner of the mouth, even several fingernails are broken off, it's simply unbearable to look straight at.

  The old black robe spat out a mouthful of blood and water, then opened his mouth to say, "It seems that this thousand-year-old Wujin has been buried here for so long, it's actually stained with very strong resentment, losing its clarity. According to reason, the Thousand-Year Wujin Stone should be where the Wujin judgment pen is stored, it shouldn't be like this, right?

  As soon as I heard Fan's words, I felt like a deflated balloon and said to Old Hei: "Old Brother Hei, isn't the stone we got Thousand-Year Black Gold Stone? You're not kidding, are you?"

  "It's indeed the Millennium Black Gold, but there seems to be a problem. When Magistrate Cui left his brush in Yangjian back then, we did see the Black Gold brush, which was a black stone brush with a Xuanwu carving on top. However, this Millennium Black Gold is supposed to be frozen with the extremely cold Ice Charms of the underworld and should be as transparent as ice. Why is it that the body of the stone is now so murky that we can't even see the shape of the brush?"

  Xiao Bai interjected, "That's right, the Millennium Black Gold Stone we saw back then was indeed a stone similar to amber, not this chaotic and inexplicable thing. Could it be that the Millennium Black Gold Stone absorbed the grievances of those 36 missing ghostly citizens, causing it to lose its clarity? That's why these ghostly citizens, although they died unjustly, did not become malevolent spirits."

  The old black man nodded in agreement!

  I listened to the explanation of Hei Bai Gui Cha, curiously asking: "Do you mean that this thousand-year-old Wujin Stone has been contaminated? The chaotic color in this stone is not its original color, but rather the resentment of those 36 wronged souls?"

  The two nodded in unison, and Lao Hei Fan continued: "The effect of the Wujin Bi pen is not only to write down the heavenly symbol, but also has the function of absorbing yin souls and grievances, so the Wujin Bi pen is so important in this heavenly ritual!"

  I see, I nodded at Tie Yi beside me.

  Looking at the two famous figures in the yin and yang realms, I couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what brings you two here this time?"

  Xiao Bai said: "Oh, just now we received an order from the top during our patrol, saying that 36 ghostly civilians suddenly appeared here, so we came to check it out. Who knew that as soon as we came out, we met two little brothers and made our colleagues laugh. We must keep this a secret for our brothers." It seems that these two have practiced their lines before, each one speaking in turn without interrupting the other.

  I nodded hastily and looked at Tie Yi in a daze, pushing him, and he seemed to have just woken up.

  "What are you going to do with these dead miners? They're all poor souls! Won't they go to hell?" Tie Yi blurted out the words that were on my mind, it seems this tacit understanding is really a result of being together for a long time.

  Hei Bai Wuchang, supporting the trembling tongue, smiled and said, "Two young brothers can rest assured, my busy Yamen is a place of fairness, justice, and openness, and there will be no miscarriages of justice. Now that I have investigated the matter, it has been revealed that these wrongly deceased miners suffered physical and mental harm due to the thousand-year-old black gold, although it was not caused by the main officials of the underworld, but they still received harm."

  With the relationship between Xiao Cui and Xiao Tie, we will apply for compensation from the underworld when we return. It seems that these unjustly dead miners should be CEOs or something in their next life, so you two don't have to worry! Look, I've already taken care of the tolls, I won't let good people suffer unfairly!" As I looked at the stack of colorful papers, I felt a weight lift off my mind.

  Hearing this, my mood suddenly cleared up and I felt delighted.

  These 36 miners who met with disaster, although they suffered such misfortune, after all, finally came to a good end. And some of it was due to my credit, I am truly happy for them! It seems that I have also been practicing what I said at the inauguration ceremony when I took office in the underworld.

  Young man, you really have a good eye for things. Xiaobai Xie Bi'an continued: "Since the last time I attended your induction ceremony in the underworld, it's been some days since we met, and I didn't expect to see you here, this fate is really amazing! The two of you, Yangshi Yinchai Ghost Captors, made a great contribution in this mission, and when we return, we will definitely speak the truth!"

  Upon hearing this, Tie Yi was nonchalant, but I couldn't help feeling delighted, thinking that my ancestors would surely take advantage of my glory to show off again, and I secretly felt pleased.

  After saying all this, we chatted for a while. I asked about the ancestors' recent situation, and Tie Yi asked about his father Tie Chong's affairs. Feeling that it was almost time, Hei Bai Wuchang stood up, saying he had to attend to official business, as delaying would affect his career advancement.

  But then these two yin messengers stood up, tidied themselves up, and began to dance and sing while waving their mourning fans and soul-summoning canes. The rhythm was just like a live rap performance by a heavenly superstar:

  The misty waves stretch far and wide, the sun sets beyond the village.

  Tigers can be hunted, but their ferocity is hard to pursue.

  With no wings on its sides, it rides the wind and soars.

  My body is not present, but I am filled with longing.

  Ask the heavens and earth, but they have no answer, I can only entrust it to this.

  Return, O soul! Return, O soul!

  The eight ghosts obtained human flesh for sacrifice and used its bones as a wine vessel.

  It belongs to the dense and luxuriant, traveling thousands of miles, its nature is like a viper, swallowing people to benefit its own heart.

  My soul has gone back...

  Although this song has a bit of a rap flavor, I remembered these few sentences based on my memory. This tune really doesn't sound bad, it's quite flavorful. Later when I had nothing to do, I liked to hum a few lines. Every time I hummed, I could see those ghostly partners from that world with framed but aimless eyes emitting green light coming towards me from all angles.

  It wasn't until later that I met Hei Bai Wuchang again, and when he asked me about the song, I told him it was "Summoning Soul Song". Afterwards, I regretted it and never sang it again!

  Looking at the busy Hei Bai Wu Chang, Tie Yi asked me in a low voice, "When I was in the underworld, these two were notorious for being difficult to deal with. However, it seems that you all get along quite harmoniously!"

  "That's right, brother, I've been through the underworld, and I've signed a contract with the yin and yang messengers of the mortal world. Although my official position isn't high, and I don't have any real power, at least give some face to our ancestors, if not to me." I said with great pride, finally finding something to brag about, I'm absolutely shameless.

  This iron lump is just an iron lump, thinking of the ancestors of the Iron Family who beat up these four major Yin differences in front of countless ghostly civilians and ghostly differences back then, it's definitely difficult for him to be willing, really no eyesight, such an obvious family feud can't even see it.

  As the black and white chanting dance moved, a strange scene occurred. The miners who had just been left in the alley to suffer from circular death suddenly appeared one by one before our eyes, Liangzi, Shuishu, Mazishu... At this moment, those faces stained with coal dust seemed to have been washed clean, revealing their original appearance.
