Chapter Fifteen Farewell Black and White Impermanence

  I feel like I've lost a lot of blood, and what's running out of my body is my soul.

  I saw my soul floating out while I was lying in the hospital.

  Zehong and Jin Rang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at me nervously... seeing that my ECG had become a flat line. No signs of a heartbeat...

  Am I dead? I was just about to say something to them, and then my soul uncontrollably floated out the window.

  There were many more people around me.

  Lü Fucái!

  "Arrived!"

  "Zhang's translation is accurate!"

  "Arrived!"

  "Li Zichuan!"

  It seems like someone is calling my name...

  "Li Zichuan has arrived!" The voice slowly came towards me, and I saw the speaker's appearance, surprisingly it was Xie Bizhen! Also known as Bai Wuchang!

  Those ghosts whose names were called out were all put in shackles by Hei Wuchang!

  "Are you Li Zichuan?" Ba Wu Chang leaned his face closer to take a look at me, and I only then realized that Ba Wu Chang was so unsightly, or in today's words, an eyesore!

  "That one... Bai Wuchang, we've met before." I said to it with embarrassment.

  "Oh? Now that you mention it, I seem to recall something. Aren't you Ge San's disciple? What happened, did he die?" Bai Wuchang laughed even more eerily.

  "Hmm... I was killed by a tree spirit. Can't you spare my soul..." I asked it weakly.

  "So give me a reason."

  "Because I still have many people who can't let go." I sighed, thinking about what my parents would do, what Zhang Ting would do, and how Master would be if he knew I was dead...

  "Hmm, what you said makes some sense." Bai Wuchang confirmed my point of view, making me very happy.

  "Can I go back then?" I asked eagerly, waiting for its response.

  "Of course..." I almost rushed over to kiss it twice, but then it said "Of course not, what a rotten excuse."

  Then it turned around and looked at those ghosts in front of it and asked "Who wants to die?"

  As a result, everyone was in an uproar, saying I didn't want to...

  It's awkward, those rioters were all suppressed by Hei Wu Chang using his Mourning Stick.

  "Did you hear that? Your reason can't move me at all. Get on the road obediently." Just then, Hei Wuchang came over and put a cangue on me.

  "Wait... aren't you afraid of my master coming after you?" My only faith was to hug Master.

  "Haha, would I, Bai Wuchang, be afraid? But now that you mention it, I am a bit worried. At worst, I won't come to the mortal world for a few hundred years and that's it." Ugh, this Bai Wuchang is too shameless! It clearly knows it can't beat my master in the mortal world, but things are different in the underworld...

  Looking at this lock I also resigned... I stared at the White Impermanence, saw the four characters " suddenly thought of something".

  I remember Master told me that on Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang's hats, one was written "Yi Jian Fa Cai" (One sees wealth) and the other was written "Tian Xia Tai Ping" (Peace all over the world).

  It is said that when encountering Bai Wuchang, don't be afraid, pick up a brick and throw it at him. He will then drop the gold and silver treasures in his hands, and once he has dropped them all, he will feel embarrassed and run away, so you can get rich by seeing him.

  Hei Wu Chang was feared because of his bad temper and fighting skills, so people didn't dare to cause trouble when they saw him, thus the world became peaceful.

  Since there's this legend, I should also give it a try. I've got a plan in mind, but with Hei Wuchang around, how can I do anything? He's got a bad temper and is quite the fighter!

  I turned around and looked at the ghost behind me...

  "Hey, buddy, are you dead too?" I struck up a conversation with a ghost behind me.

  "Isn't it obvious?!" The guy still looked a bit angry.

  "How did he die?"

  "Ugh...I'm so stuffed I could die."

  I heard this guy's way of dying and I'm also speechless...

  "Hey buddy, what's your name?"

  "Fan Yitong."

  A bowl of rice.

  "Brother, I won't hide it from you, I'm a Taoist priest. I have a way to bring your soul back. Do you believe me?" I said this to him, and saw that his spirit lifted, his eyes even shining brightly.

  "Really? How to do it?"

  "Then we need to cooperate... these two ghosts are a bit of a handful, I can handle the white one, but for the black one, I'll need you to lure it away, once it's lured away, we'll have an opportunity."

  "Don't cheat me! I don't read much..." Fan Yitong seems to be a bit skeptical of my words.

  "Huh, anyway I've said what I wanted to say, whether you believe it or not is up to you." I think that survival is something everyone yearns for, no, every ghost yearns for. Indeed...

  "Alright, I believe you. What do you want me to do?" It seems that he believes me now... But in fact, I have already betrayed him... However, I have thought it through and left a reason for myself to repay this karma.

  "Like this... after a while I'll help you open the handcuffs, and then you can run for your life, got it?"

  "Uh-huh, I see." He nodded in understanding.

  "Ready..." I looked at Wanting.

  "In the midst of it, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, three births and five elements, wielding a golden sword to slay evil spirits. All soldiers are arrayed in formation at the front!"

  I used the Golden Blade Technique to chop at the shackles, and told him to run quickly!

  As expected, it runs very fast!

  "Ah, someone dares to run away in front of Hei Wuchang!" I then saw Hei Wuchang chasing after him.

  Can't wait any longer, otherwise when that guy is caught and brought back, I won't be able to escape.

  "Bai Wuchang! Look over here!" I also opened my own shackles and shouted at Xie Bizheng, who was calling out names from behind. He turned his head to look at me.

  "I'm leaving first." I said to it, not provoking it, after all it's a ghost fairy, how can I outrun it!

  "You're quite bold, aren't you!" Bai Wuchang floated in front of me, holding a mourning staff...

  It's now!

  I crouched down and picked up a stone from the side of the road and threw it at Bai Wuchang... hoping that the legend wouldn't deceive me.

  "Ah yo ah yo..." Haha, it's true as the legend says. I saw myself throwing stones over there, and that White Bone Spirit was shouting "ah yo ah yo" while throwing me ingots! I didn't believe that all the stones on the ground couldn't be thrown away by you. Indeed, in the end, the White Bone Spirit had nothing left to throw and disappeared in embarrassment.

  I hurriedly floated towards the ward, only to find that my body and Ze Hong's had both disappeared!

  I'm going to die suddenly! If I don't return to my body soon, they'll take me away!

  No one was around, I walked through the entire hospital building and finally saw Zehong and Jinran.

  "Come on, let's go avenge Tsubaki!" Ze Hong said with righteous indignation, making me feel inexplicably moved. We hadn't been together for long, but he was a true brother who would give his life for me.

  "Zehong! Jin Rang!" I shouted at them.

  "Wait a minute, I think someone is calling me!" Ze Heng stopped in his tracks and turned around, seeing my spirit floating behind them!

  "Ah, Zikawa! How is your soul here!" Ze Hong said in surprise.

  "Never mind that for now, hurry, where's my body? If I'm late, Heibai Wuchang will take me back!" From Ze Hong, I knew they had put my body in the morgue. I rushed to the morgue, but then I seemed to have come up with a plan and stopped in my tracks.

  "Zi Chuan, why aren't you hurrying up!" Ze Heng saw that I had stopped in my tracks and was getting anxious on my behalf.

  "I have an idea to get rid of the Tree Spirit... Hei Bai Wu Chang will definitely come looking for me everywhere, why don't we lure them back to the village and let them take care of the Tree Spirit?" I shared my thoughts with them.

  "Is this okay? I feel a bit unsafe..." Ze Heng expressed his concern.

  "No choice, this is the only way I can think of now..."

  "Alright, let's give it a try!"

  Like this, the two of us and a ghost floated back to the village. As I walked out of the hospital gate, I shouted loudly: Heibai Wuchang, your grandfather is here! Come find me quickly!

  I did it on purpose so they would know and come quickly.

  Very soon! We arrived at the entrance of our village and saw that willow tree swaying gently in the wind.

  "How come you're still not here!" I anxiously looked at the clock, yearning for the unpredictable black and white to arrive soon.

  "What the...?! Zi Chuan, you're just like your master, completely unaware of the heavens and the earth! And yet you still dare to trifle with me, a dignified ghost immortal?!" No mistake, they've arrived. In the blink of an eye, they appeared before us. I saw Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang, both with furious faces, especially Bai Wuchang, who was probably driven mad by anger.

  "Bi'an, what's the point of talking to him so much? Just come at me with your stick!" The speaker was Fan Wujiu, who directly wielded a funeral stick and flew over, wanting to strike Bi'an down with one blow!

  "Wait! Old Black and White, you're the masters, I didn't want to tease you just now, it's just that you see over there..." Black and White Impermanence followed my pointing direction.

  They exclaimed in unison: The Willow Spirit!

  "What kind of evil spirit dares to make trouble in front of Fan Wujiu!" Hei Wuchang was indeed hot-tempered, and upon seeing the willow tree spirit, he wanted to rush over.

  "Wait, no rescue! We have rules in the underworld, not to interfere with the affairs of the world above, did you forget?!" Bai Wuchang pulled back Hei Wuchang and said, glancing at me with a smile, "You little guy still wants to borrow our hands to help you destroy them? Ha ha, well then, I'll let you stay here and see how you lose your soul."

  Bai Wuchang is so cruel! Not only did he not help, but he also wanted me to lose my soul! I just saw Bai Wuchang disappear in an instant, it seems that the only one who can save myself is me.

  The three of us looked at each other in dismay.

  "What should we do?" I asked them.

  "Whatever, let's just die together then." Ze Heng said this with a heroic tone.

  "This time let me go first." The speaker was Jin Rong. He took out a yellow talisman from his bag, bit his finger and drew a Five Thunder Spell on the talisman.

  "Heavenly Fire Thunder God, Earthly Fire Thunder God, Five Thunders Descend Spirit, Lock Demons and Bind Essence. Jade Emperor's Decree, Behead the Wicked and Exterminate the Evil Spirits. Hurry, as if by Imperial Order!"

  A thunderbolt struck the willow tree, and I saw that its top was split open and charred. However, every time it encountered this willow tree, it became more and more intense! At the moment of splitting, countless dark spirits flew out!

  Bang! Another heavenly thunderbolt has fallen! I turned around and saw that Jian Ran had spat out a mouthful of blood and was lying on the ground!

  "Let's go!" I shouted out loud!
