Divine Punishment 997
why are you so kind Just go. Let those disobedient ones fend for themselves." My brother urged impatiently.He strode in, copper amulet clutched in one hand and sword held aloft: "Hey! Big guy, is thi...The Black and White Impermanence, also known as the Seven Lords and Eight Lords, are deities of the underworld. They are responsible for escorting souls, apprehending spirits, and even possess a slight ability to punish the wicked and reward the good.
Black and white, yin and yang, these two deities are native spirits to our land. I've heard many legends about them, but I've never actually seen their true form.
This, this is so different from the statue!
Hei Wu Chang flew over with a furious expression, but his momentum gradually weakened. When he arrived in front of us, he puffed out his chest and said, "The talisman consumes magic power. You're so sneaky and lazy! I worked my tail off, this is your assigned task, why did you drag me to do the hard labor!"
Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "I've also put in some effort, you see these people have been knocked out by me, and I still need to prevent them from waking up and remembering this matter. It took me quite a bit of magic power ~~"
Looking at Hei Wu Chang's "Nonsense" on his lips, he held it back again and again, but ultimately didn't continue to expose Bai Wu Chang.
"With two deities appearing here, does Master have any instructions" Mu Wanchen sheathed his sword and asked in a low voice.
"Hee hee... What instructions do you think the Witch King will have" Bai Wu Chang asked with a grin.
Mu Wanchen frowned: "The appearance of the two deities, Black and White Impermanence, at the same time is unlikely to be solely for collecting souls... There must be other intentions."
"Isn't that right It's been years since we've done something so troublesome." Heiwu Chang snorted and crossed his arms.
I hid in Muyuan Chen's arms and carefully examined these two deities.
Bai Wu Chang was whiter than imagined. He was tall and thin, with fine brows and phoenix eyes. His skin was a very cold white—like the icy moonlight when Mu Wan Chen appeared not long ago.
Heihei, the Grim Reaper, wasn't as black as imagined. He had thick eyebrows and a square face, was short and stout, and looked very upright with a serious and gloomy expression, just like someone with "a long face".
On the sculpture, the white ghost's hat reads "One glance brings wealth," and the black ghost's reads "Peace throughout the world." But in reality, they wouldn't be caught dead wearing such cheerful things.
One was dressed in white as snow, the other in black as ink, with not a speck of color on either of them.
"Sigh~~ As runners, we're really working hard. There are so many errands to do every day, plus all sorts of extra assignments. It's really a hardship~ A real hardship~" Bai Wu Chang sighed with a smile.
Hei Wu Chang twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but say, "What have you been doing all day! You are the most leisurely one in Yin Shuai. Everyone knows you are a lord! Besides the Emperor, who dares to assign you tasks! Stop talking nonsense, get down to business!"
"Hee hee hee... Lao Ba, why are you so anxious This little princess is even more fun than the little empress. I can't help but want to tease her, haha~~" Bai Wu Chang narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
My God, his eyes were mesmerizing, they sent shivers down my spine.
"That... that... Unchanging God" I tentatively asked, using a respectful title.
Bai WuChang was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a sly smile, “What kind of name is this Hihihi...”
"Well then, Seventh Lord, Seventh Lord What brings the two of you here If there's nothing... we should be going. I haven't sent word in so long, my little wife might be worried." I said quietly.
Little Niece was right behind me when they took me away, she'd probably be on the verge of tears with how worried she'd be.
"Hmph, isn't that because of Little Miss" Eight Ye said with a black face: "Little Miss is so anxious, she said she watched you being taken away with her own eyes and wanted the Lord Emperor to come up with a way to rescue you, so the Lord Emperor sent us to welcome you."
"But how did you two know we came from here" I asked cautiously.
"Well, of course, I ordered the Underworld officials along the border~~. Yin soldiers were dispatched to scout the land along the borders, and as soon as we receive a report, we can arrive instantly, hehehe..."
"Here it comes in a flash... How convenient..." I chuckled drily.
"Hee hee, you can do it too, little, Wang, Fei~~~~" Bai WuChang smirked at me and winked.
Long Xiaoge is also an "ordinary person," but compared to me, he is considered a "supernormal" person.
Here I am, a true "ordinary person".
Because of the female gu, I and Mu Wanchen had more love and connection beyond the body. We could walk through the Fa Gate together.
A magical technique can arrive in an instant, but it cannot bring along Long Xiaoge.
Long Xiaogē's internal and external injuries were both serious, but I didn't hear him cry out in pain.
Ouch, tired, thirsty, hungry. From the moment I met him, I never heard him complain once.
The more he acts like this, the less likely I am to leave him.
Long Xiaoge is also a person who lives in seclusion in the Dharma gate, not very accustomed to the outside world, otherwise he would not have been tricked and captured.
"The Jade Emperor has sent us to guide you, to lead the way..." Bai Wu Chang said with a smile, emphasizing the words "lead the way."
What paths can the Black and White Impermanence lead to
Perhaps it's a one-way journey, straight to the bank of the River Styx.
"That...thank you, Seventh and Eighth Lords for your kindness, but I'd rather drive back myself. I'm afraid of taking the wrong path, and besides, I have elders above and a cat below..." I waved my hand and said.
"Are there cats down there Hee hee hee..." Bai Wu Chang covered his mouth and laughed, saying: "Little Princess, what are you afraid of Even if you go to the Underworld, it's still Your Majesty's territory."
I shook my head frantically. “No, no, I’m not going… We should just drive back ourselves. It’s already within our territory; the drive will only take a day or two—”
"Hee hee, but we ran into a police check on the way. With all your injuries and unable to explain your origins, it's not something that can be resolved in a day or two, you know~ It's better to come with us." Bai Wu Chang persuaded.
Mu Wanchen rubbed my head and whispered, "Master let them come, there must be arrangements. Don't worry."
Well, but having those two powerful soul-binding figures lead the way is kind of creepy to think about.
The Shaman King is certainly fearless, but the young princess... hmph, don't be afraid, one time born, two times familiar... this way..." He extended his slender fingers from beneath his pale-white sleeves and pointed behind Hei Wu Chang.
"There are a hundred wells in the Underworld, each capable of connecting yin and yang... We cast a spell to reverse one well opening, Lord Emperor left an opening beside Lady Xiao for you to return in a flash!"
Is there a well mouth left around here
How is this possible Could the young mistress be carrying a well with her wherever she goes
"Hee hee, little princess, celestial matters are profound and mysterious. If you're bold enough, come and try it yourself, then you'll know~~" Bai Wu Chang's words were laced with a heavy dose of "temptation".
I looked at Mu Wanchen, seeking his opinion.
Mu Wanchen frowned slightly and said, “Is this Master’s arrangement”
"Of course, how else would we be here if it weren't for the Emperor's orders" Bai Wu Chang sneered.
"Good, little Lu'er, let's go," Mu Wanchen nodded.
"Are you really going to jump" I looked at the mass of black air swirling on the ground, feeling very uneasy.
"Well, don't be afraid," he said, holding my hand.
I scratched my head, should I be greeted by the black and white impermanence or is this Master's arrangement It seems rude to refuse outright, so let's just jump in.
As soon as I stepped to the edge of that pitch-black circle, I heard a low sigh, and my ears tingled with a sudden jolt.
"Sigh..."
Oh Oh what's the matter
I turned my head to look around and saw Bai Wu wearing a white silk robe, covering her lips with it. She smiled faintly and looked at me with narrowed eyes...eren't for my wages being deducted until the end of the year, I would have run away long ago... It's too terrifying... Now I don't even dare to go to the third floor..."My gossipy nature kicked in, an...
