Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

After settling the person who was immersed in the illusion, Wang You closed the door and walked out, only to see Xu Tang had been standing outside the door waiting for him.

"I have something to say." Xu Tang spoke first, but couldn't help but lower his voice after he finished speaking.

"Go ahead." Wang You glanced inside the house. "She can't hear me."

Hearing him say this, Xu Tang regained his tone and said seriously, "Did you already know whose bones the bottom of the pool belonged to?"

Wang You nodded without hesitation.

Xu Tang uttered a "Hey!" and pinched his waist indignantly, "So you want me to pay more?"

Wang You's expression remained unchanged. "Because it was you who asked for it."

"You are unreasonable..." As he spoke, Xu Tang couldn't help but raise his voice, but in the end he was still concerned about Shen Qiao inside, so he lowered his voice again.

"Oh, never mind. I didn't come to you for this." Xu Tang reluctantly let go of the question and said, "I want to see that Duan guy. Ask him to come see me."

“…He can’t come.”

Xu Tang frowned and scratched his head irritably, "Is he still angry with me? How about you give me an address and I can go find him and talk to him myself."

"Don't worry, I will never take the opportunity to run away. If it really doesn't work, you can find someone to follow me." He added this hurriedly, fearing that Wang You would not agree to let him go out.

"he died."

Xu Tang's pupils trembled. He paused for a moment, and after a long moment, he seemed to react and slowly raised his head to look at Wang You. "What did you say?"

"Ten days ago, a young master named Duan sent someone to bring a bronze mirror to Tianxingmen. This is the token of the contract between you and Duan Hegui." Wang You looked at Xu Tang. "The young master Duan who sent someone to bring the bronze mirror is not Duan Hegui as you think, but the great-grandson of his brother from the same clan."

Xu Tang stared at Wang You's eyes, trying to find some lying in his eyes, but unfortunately, he failed.

"Dead... How is that possible... I clearly left my demon pill to him. Even if he was just an ordinary person, with this demon pill, he could live at least a hundred more years! And he and I have a contract, how could he..."

He really didn't finish the rest of the sentence. His eyes were about to turn red uncontrollably. He smiled casually, as if he still had some hope, "Are you lying to me with him?"

"According to his great-nephew, he died of natural aging." Wang You observed his uncontrollable expression without much emotion in her eyes. "Duan Hegui entrusted this bronze mirror to his brother for safekeeping. He repeatedly instructed that if the mirror lights up, someone must bring it to Tianxing Sect and speak to the Sect Master. She will know what to do next."

Xu Tang's eyes were filled with tears as he slowly shook his head, "No... I still don't believe he died like that."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but lower his head and calm down for a while, his voice a little muffled, "Then, then, are there any other things sent along with this bronze mirror?"

Wang You shook his head, "No."

"No..." Xu Tang seemed to have found a breakthrough. He raised his head again and muttered, "The demon pill will only be released after his death. Since it was not sent with the bronze mirror..."

He stood there, muttering to himself, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly said, "I'm going to go check out my old residence."

Wang Humo looked at him silently for a moment, and finally sighed, "Then I'll go with you tomorrow morning."

After saying this, he accidentally glanced at the shadow at the door.

"It's getting late, you should go back first."

Xu Tang nodded absentmindedly, turned and left the yard.

As the gate was closed, silence gradually returned to the yard.

Wang You frowned slightly at the obvious shadow at the door, and his voice became lowered as if he was displeased. "What's the matter?"

After hearing the question, the "shadow" quickly emerged from the ground and transformed into a bald old man wearing black clothes and a white beard. When he saw Wang You, he was a little embarrassed and was about to kneel down, "Greetings, my lord..."

Wang You waved his hand to signal him that he didn't need to kneel and could get straight to the point.

"Oh!" The old god understood and nimbly straightened his bent knee. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and pulled out a stack of red-covered, black-papered books from his left lapel, handing them over. "I shouldn't have wandered into the world of the living, but this is truly unheard of, so I had to take the risk and ask the Lord of Hell to take a look."

Wang You took the booklet and opened it to take a look. It was written in black paper with white words, and on the surface it didn't seem to be anything wrong.

He unfolded a few more pages, but found that there was not even a single name on the entire page.

In total, at least eight names were lost.

"When did you find out?"

The old god-in-chief held his hands nervously, his head bent almost to his knees, not daring to look up. "My Lord, not long ago, this book started to show a missing list of living people for no apparent reason. But I thought it was probably because more people were sent to the divine realm this year, so I didn't pay much attention to it, just like before. But now, so much time has passed, and these names are still missing from time to time. Only then did I realize something was wrong..."

The Book of Life and Death records the fate of all living beings in the four realms of humans, demons, monsters and fairies, even the most mindless weeds are recorded.

This was different from the situations Shen Qiao and his party had encountered at Broken Soul Hill before. Those situations disappeared from the book only after death.

But this time, the names of the people were gone while they were still alive. This meant that someone had stolen the fates of these people from the book while he was away from the underworld.

Good, all the “people” he stole were taken to his underworld.

"I understand. I'll keep this thing here for now." Wang You closed the booklet, and a black-blue flame burned from bottom to top, eventually compressing the booklet into a ball of black mist and being stored in Wang You's palm.

The old god finally breathed a sigh of relief, but soon as he remembered something, he carefully raised his head and whispered, "Well... actually, there's one more thing."

"explain."

"There's someone named 'Shen Qiao' whose fate is a bit strange. He's clearly doing good things, but his merit points can't be added. Instead, his lifespan is shortened."

Only when the life span of an ordinary person is completely exhausted can one get rid of the identity of "human". The Heavenly Dao is deliberately looking for an excuse to speed up her process of becoming a god.

"And..." The old god said this timidly.

Wang You glanced at him impatiently, and the old god quickly lowered his head and continued, "This name seems to have been repeated before, but... inexplicably, there was another name next to it that was exactly the same, called 'Shen Qiao', but... but I didn't see it clearly, and then the name disappeared. I think maybe I saw it wrong."
