I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?
Chapter 42: Life in Exchange
After a brief thought, Xu An did not actually throw the punch.
After all, he is no longer at the second level of Qi training, but is now a true innate cultivator.
If he were in the mortal world, his strength would be enough to be called a grass-headed god.
If he destroyed the housing unit distributed by the underworld with one punch, even if no ghosts blamed him, who would be happy to live in a house that is drafty on all sides?
"call……"
Sitting up from the bed, Xu An stretched his body, and then straightened his clothes.
Bao Zheng punished him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for three days, but the time limit has expired.
The holiday in Yangzhou has ended.
It's time to do what a ghost messenger should do.
When he opened the door, Xu An was thinking about the mission, but the next moment he was stunned.
In front of his door, other ghost messengers who lived near his home gathered at his door again, looking at him curiously.
Come again?
Xu An suddenly remembered those words again in his mind.
There's a group of Yinchai in front of my house. The one in front is a Yinchai, and the one behind is also a Yinchai...
Xu An complained in his heart, and after a brief silence, he asked in confusion:
"Everyone, what's the matter?"
Before Wang Ben could speak, the Yincha, who could no longer accept the reality, could not help but say:
"Mr. Xu, have you made a breakthrough?"
"Uh?"
Xu An was stunned. Looking at the crowd watching, he couldn't help but say:
"My breakthrough made such a big noise?"
Turning his head, he looked at his room filled with scattered ice feathers, with almost no place to step, and suddenly felt numb.
It was a pity that he had been trying to hide his incompetence before, but he only pretended for three days and then his actions were exposed in the blink of an eye.
I should have found a deserted place and secretly broke through.
"Mr. Xu, the noise you made was more than just loud. We were afraid you might blow the roof off!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu, have you reached the Xiantian realm?"
"The noise you made during your breakthrough is far more powerful than that of an ordinary ghost cultivator. We think you, Mr. Xu, might have a special ghost body!"
"Mr. Xu, how do you practice?"
After seeing Xu An come out, the group of ghosts looked at the situation in the house and suddenly became more excited. They started talking at once, making the ghosts feel overwhelmed.
"Everyone, please calm down first!"
Being blocked at the door, Xu An felt completely broken.
He couldn't help but yelled loudly, asking them to stop first, then quickly took two steps forward, closed the door with his backhand, and blocked the situation in the room. He couldn't help but say:
"It's just a breakthrough, why are you all so excited?"
"Just a breakthrough?"
Immediately, a ghost messenger's lips trembled, his teeth tingled, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Mr. Xu, do you know that it usually takes us ten years to break through to the Xiantian realm?"
"It's only been a few days since you started, yet you've already reached the Xiantian realm!"
Seeing how excited he was, Xu Jun pretended to be stupid and didn't have time to scratch his head.
Another ghost messenger beside him was even more excited. He reached out and grabbed his robe, unable to help but say:
"Mr. Xu, how on earth did you cultivate so quickly?"
Looking at his eyes full of confusion and thirst for knowledge, Xu An hesitated and said weakly:
"I said I would exchange it for my life span, do you believe me?"
This group of ghosts in the underworld obviously did not believe it and immediately said:
"Mr. Xu, please stop joking. We are all ghost messengers. How can we have a long life?"
Xu An was completely stunned.
He is telling the truth.
If no one believes it, what can he do?
"Everyone, calm down."
Beside him, Wang Ben looked at their agitated expressions and couldn't help but coughed dryly.
"Xu An might have some difficulties, so please stop asking."
"Hardships, what hardships?"
Many people looked at each other in confusion.
Those who reacted quickly have already discovered the problem.
Yes, the reason is very simple.
Even if Xu An has a method to practice quickly, why would he tell other Yincha?
If it were them, ask yourself, if they had a method that could help them practice quickly, would they be so generous and give it out so casually?
They couldn't do it, so they gathered here and asked Xu An questions at the same time. What was the point?
"Don't bother Xu Jun anymore. If he wants to talk, he will tell us."
Seeing that their questioning was fruitless, the quick-witted ghost messengers had already started to smooth things over, trying their best to make the atmosphere less tense.
"Well, everyone, isn't today's holiday over? Why are you still gathered here? Don't you have anything to do?"
When this was mentioned, the group of ghost messengers standing in front of Xu An looked at each other in confusion.
Then, Wang Ben said:
"My dear brother, you may not know this yet. The day before yesterday, the magistrate issued an order to inform the entire underworld court that the reincarnation of the three realms is temporarily closed. We in Yangzhou have also stopped going to the mortal world to capture wandering ghosts."
Xu An was not too surprised by this result.
The only thing that made him feel a little emotional was.
Although he was a ghost messenger, the time he spent catching ghosts in the strict sense from beginning to end was less than a day in total.
It's fate that plays tricks on me...
Thinking of this, he looked up and found that Wang Ben and the others had strange expressions on their faces.
"Why, aren't you all happy that you don't have to catch ghosts?"
Before, he had clearly heard these guys complaining that they had to catch ghosts 360 days a year, constantly traveling back and forth between the Yin and Yang worlds, and that it was hard and tiring with no end in sight.
But now, the root problems have been solved, and there is no way to reincarnate, but they are unhappy instead.
Sure enough, both humans and ghosts are compromises.
You want to open the window, but he disagrees. You say that if you lift the roof, it will be easier to negotiate about opening the window.
When the other ghost messengers heard Xu An's words, they looked at each other and one of them couldn't help but say:
"In the next thousand years, perhaps I won't have to travel back and forth between the underworld and the living to capture wandering ghosts. It's really hard to adapt to this happening all of a sudden."
"Mr. Xu, you don't know that if we don't have to catch wandering ghosts, it means we are no longer useful. The underworld might let us fend for ourselves."
Xu An looked at them with a mixture of nostalgia and worry, and after a moment of thought, he said:
"But we signed a contract to work for the Yin Court for a thousand years. The judge won't just disband us right here, right?"
Although they had been together for a short time, Xu An always felt that with Yang Wei's ability, he would definitely be able to properly handle this matter.
It is impossible to disband the huge team of underworld officials in the underworld and leave them doing nothing.
"We won't be disbanded here. The magistrate will re-arrange our affairs at noon today. I don't know where I will go or what my responsibilities will be."
A ghost messenger expressed his worries. After a long time, he had become accustomed to catching ghosts in a simple and rough way and taking them back to the underworld.
Now, if they are suddenly asked to do something else, they will inevitably feel worried and unwilling.
"Since you are able to become Yincha, you all must have extraordinary qualities. I believe that no matter what the problem is, there will be a solution in the end. There is no need to worry about it."
Xu An saw that they were a little negative, so he gave them a few words of encouragement.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he took the first step and walked towards the Tongpan Mansion.
No matter what task Yang Wei prepared for him, he would not stop there!
