I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

Chapter 27: Going to the Underworld Again

As soon as these words were spoken, Bao Zheng's dark face couldn't help but change color slightly.

As one of the Ten Kings of Hell, he holds a high position of power in the underworld.

Whether it was the Tongpan of Yinting or the Governor of Jiuzhou, they all treated him as his subordinates.

But the old woman who lived in the underworld, looked ordinary, and served a bowl of soup to the passing souls still forced him to treat her with courtesy.

The first thing Yang Wei did after noticing the invasion of the Styx was to ask his chief clerk, who was one level lower in rank than him, to go and inform the governor. This was a standard way of dealing with the situation.

But the second thing was extremely bold and beyond his expectations.

With Meng Po's help, the crisis of the invasion of the Styx can certainly be resolved.

In the eyes of many living ghosts, his arrival at this moment was, to some extent, a wasted trip.

But even so, he did not blame Yang Wei's plan.

Because he wanted to find out how the Styx broke, how the barrier between the two worlds was torn apart, and whether someone was deliberately causing trouble.

Thinking of this, Bao Zheng continued:

"This incident happened suddenly, so we must use extraordinary measures to deal with it. However, you are guilty of deserting your post. I will judge you in detail later. Now, please stand up!"

Below the main city, above the Ten-Li Ghost Road.

Xu An stood behind Yang Wei, looking at Bao Zheng who did not make any rash decisions, and was certain that all his and Yang Wei's previous inferences were correct.

I am not afraid of being guilty, but I am afraid that you don’t know how to bear the responsibility.

If you keep trying to escape, your superiors will be unhappy.

If you take on everything like a fool, the ghost will become suspicious.

If you are labeled as a spy, you will be in dire straits for the rest of your life.

At this moment, in front of all the living ghosts in the city, the blame will be revealed and announced to the world.

Then it must be carefully examined. If it is not concluded as an ironclad case in one go, then there will be no problem.

"There is one more matter. Your Excellency, may I have the permission to come forward and report it in detail?"

Yang Wei felt relieved when he heard that Bao Zheng did not blame him immediately after he listed three charges, but instead wanted to investigate and then deal with him.

He stood up from the ground, still half-bowed, with a sincere and impeccable attitude.

"You come forward."

Bao Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this.

He always felt that this series of events was more serious than he had imagined.

Otherwise, how could a judge of the Yin Court, a divine cultivator who has always been in a high position of power among mortal ghosts, be so cautious?

"Yes."

After getting Bao Zheng's approval, Yang Wei straightened his body and took a step forward, his court robes fluttering in the wind.

In an instant, dark clouds rolled over the sky.

Magical power blossomed from his body and gathered under his feet into hundreds of cloud steps, reaching up to the sky and in front of the chariot.

Climb up the clouds and arrive close.

Yang Wei looked at his own Tongpan, who was standing beside him timidly, and had no chance to ask him why the governor had not arrived.

Facing Bao Zheng, he saluted slightly and said in a low voice:

"Sir, yesterday the Styx invaded the human world. Someone deliberately manipulated it to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"After Meng Po followed me to Yangzhou, the Yellow Springs Dimension was attacked. Most of the bridges connecting the various states were severed, and the cycle of reincarnation in the Three Realms was severely damaged!"

The moment these words came out, Bao Zheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Yang Wei with an incredible look, and asked in the same low voice:

"Who else knows about this?"

"In the Yin Court of Yangzhou, apart from a few living ghosts present, the other mortal ghosts are unaware of this. However, the reincarnation cycle in the three realms has been severed, and there is no way to be reborn. Rumors have begun to spread in the city!"

Bao Zheng's heart was pounding, and he immediately felt that something bad was going to happen.

The responsibility of the Yin Court in the Three Realms has always been to take in living ghosts, judge all their sins in life, evaluate their merits and demerits, and then send them into reincarnation.

The last thousand years.

Whether in the human world or in the underworld.

They are all in a state of flourishing flowers, simmering fires, and thriving livestock.

It has reached the point where it is overcrowded with both people and ghosts.

At this critical juncture, the collapse of the three realms of reincarnation is equivalent to destroying the ghosts' hope of reincarnation.

Once the news spreads, if we are not careful, it will trigger a crisis in both worlds.

When the time comes, the ghosts will rise up and the monks will be in turmoil, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

As soon as he thought of this, he turned his head to look at the Yangzhou Chief Clerk and Yang Wei, who also had a heavy expression on his face. He then glanced at the ghosts below who were looking up at the sky and asked him:

"Is your Yangzhou Rebirth Bridge still open?"

Yang Wei quickly replied:

"It's shaky, but passable!"

Bao Zheng waved his sleeves and said decisively:

"Call all the living ghosts who know about this matter, and follow me to the underworld!"

Yang Wei said yes and walked down from the ladder.

When he saw Xu An head-on, he nodded slightly.

Looking at his subordinates who were following orders impermanently, as well as the ghost soldiers and generals, as well as the powerful and powerful ghosts stationed here who were still cultivating, he said:

"The King of Hell has ordered you to follow me to the underworld!"

Come again?

Suddenly, all these living ghosts couldn't help blinking and looked at each other.

Hadn’t they all been to the underworld once before?

If you are not going to reincarnate, why go there?

Whose serious ghost has nothing to do every day and runs to the underworld?

What's more, although they knew some information about the current situation there, they had never seen it with their own eyes.

Although I am reluctant in my heart, but the leader asked me to go, then I will go. Can I just turn the table and quit?

Xu An was standing by, looking at their strange looks without feeling much emotion.

He had deduced this during a night conversation with Yang Wei in his study.

The Yin Court is vast and its territory is too vast.

It is very inconvenient to travel between different places and deliver messages.

The Ten Kings of Hell may not know Huang Quan’s current situation.

Therefore, when he arrives and learns about this, he will definitely enter the underworld through the Soul Bridge of Rebirth that was built with great effort.

Now, everything that happened was exactly as they had expected.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Wei's view of Xu An is changing rapidly.

From the initial indifference to gradual surprise, I felt a little shocked.

Up to this moment, Yang Wei had begun to face Xu An.

He had a hunch that he just needed to give this kid time.

One day, Xu An will become a powerful ghost in the underworld, occupying a high position and having power over the whole country!

In the rear, inside the main city of Yangzhou.

All the living ghosts automatically stood on both sides of the road, making way for Bao Zheng, Yang Wei and others to pass through.

Four auspicious beasts with the blood of Qilin were walking on the fire and wind in the sky, gently moving their hooves and blinking their bright eyes.

Bao Zheng took a step forward, and his tall figure stepped down from the chariot.

With every step he took, a spatial fluctuation like water waves seeped out from under his feet.

Behind him, a huge shadow seemed to reach the sky and step on the underworld. It moved together and quickly covered the entire main city of Yangzhou.

What was extremely strange was that although the sky was filled with darkness, there seemed to be a bright moon hanging high in the night sky, illuminating the earth.

When Bao Zheng walked down from the sky and stepped on the underworld, his eyes moved slightly and looked at Xu An.

In an instant, a terrifying feeling, as if a god was looking down on him, seeing through his whole body and understanding his soul, reached the depths of his consciousness.

As Xu An's heart was pounding, he was shocked to find that the strength he had suppressed was actually starting to boil like boiling water.

In the body, the power that was originally like a trickle and gradually flowing became like the Styx bursting its banks and began to break through the barriers!
