Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 51 Lu Judgment

Lan Yuyan hurried to the underworld.

If he guessed correctly, the heart that Lu Pan returned to Zhu Erdan was not the seven-aperture exquisite heart at all, but the soul eater's heart.

He vaguely remembered that he had a great battle with the demons more than 300 years ago.The strange thing is that his memory of this war is very vague, he can only vaguely remember such a thing, but he always feels that he has forgotten something, and he can't remember many key details.

But there is one thing that he remembers very clearly. In that battle, he defeated the Soul Eater who caused disasters to the world, and cut his heart open and imprisoned him in the underworld.

Later, his second sister, Jinse, made a mistake and was sent to heaven to be in charge of the underworld. The heart and the Soul Eater couple were handed over to her, and he didn't worry about it anymore.

Later, the ghosts and gods in the underworld began to have a strong curiosity about the heart soaked in the pottery urn.Since Soul Eater was only a mortal man and was extremely intelligent, his friends all praised him for having a "seven-apertured exquisite heart", so rumors spread one after another, and finally became a "devil of the underworld". There is an exquisite heart with seven apertures in it, and those who have this heart can possess supreme wisdom."

No one cares about how this exquisite heart with seven apertures came about, they just know that this heart is a rare treasure, and they are satisfied.

But the ghost messengers in the underworld are withdrawn by nature, have no mortal friends, and have become gods themselves, so naturally they don't need that heart.In addition, the place where the heart is placed is not accessible to ordinary ghosts.Therefore, that heart was left there for hundreds of years without anyone moving it.

The reason why they didn't destroy the heart was because the Heavenly Court hadn't issued a definite order for the Soul Eater's punishment, so the Underworld didn't dare to destroy it easily.

Thinking of this, Lan Yuyan was so angry that his liver hurts. When the heavenly court punished him and his second sister, he made a decision the next day. As a result, he interrogated a soul eater who did many evils. After hundreds of years of interrogation, there was no result.

I thought I would just go on blindly like this, but I never expected that Lu Pan became the first ghost messenger to make friends with ordinary people, and he also generously gave the public's "treasure" to Zhu Erdan by borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha .

Lan Yuyan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but the Soul Eater and his wife were very powerful. He spent a lot of effort to defeat them back then, but Lu Juan did this, in case they made a comeback, his mana If it hasn't recovered yet, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Furious and frightened, he ran to the place where the Soul Eater and his wife were imprisoned in the underworld, opened the gate with a spell, walked in, and saw the huge pottery urn in front of him at a glance.

He glanced into the urn with trepidation, but saw the dark purple heart soaked in the urn intact, exuding a disgusting stench.

Lan Yuyan's heart was put in her stomach all of a sudden, and at the same time, a cloud of doubts rose from the bottom of her heart.If it wasn't Soul Eater's heart that Lu sentenced Zhu Erdan to exchange, where did it come from?

Suspiciously, he opened the door of the innermost cell, where the souls of the Soul Eater couple were kept.

Two pale and thin ghosts were hung upside down in the air by iron chains, and several long swords were inserted into their joints, twitching automatically in the air.They endured the pain of cutting bones and gouging flesh all the time, and they screamed terribly at first, but now, after hundreds of years of pain, they have gotten used to it.

Seeing Lan Yuyan, the woman smiled contemptuously on her pale face.She was extremely beautiful, especially her eyes, which were slightly raised and full of charm, with a breathtaking arc drawn from the corners of her eyes.

The man hanging next to her had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, looking lifeless.

Lan Yuyan sneered, and slapped Soul Eater across the air.The Soul Eater's soul was shaken a few times by him, but it was still limp and motionless.

"What is Xianjun doing? Haven't we tortured our husband and wife enough for hundreds of years?" The woman said with a wry smile.

"Of course not enough," Lan Yuyan said calmly, "I think you are too comfortable, if I don't torture you, how can I be worthy of those innocent people who were killed by you?"

"Hmph, do as you please." The woman turned her face to the side and closed her eyes wearily.

Lan Yuyan walked around the two of them twice with a puzzled expression.Soul Eater's heart and soul are still there, which means that he has not been let go.Could it be that he was overthinking it?

"Immortal Lord came here all the way, just to hit us a few times?"

Lan Yuyan glared at her, and said in a bad tone: "You think too highly of yourself, I don't have such leisure."

After all, he locked the cell door and strode away.

Not long after Lan Yuyan left, the Soul Eater hanging upside down in the cell began to become more and more transparent, and finally disappeared into a wisp of purple smoke.And the heart in the pottery urn also slowly ruptured, melting into a pool of black and purple mud, and finally turned into a purple worm.

The worm crawled into the cell and crawled onto the woman's face.

The woman pampered the worm, couldn't help laughing, and said triumphantly: "My husband is really clever, I have expected that Lan Yuyan will come here to check if we have escaped, hahahaha, it's really true tricked him."

"We have been waiting for hundreds of years, and the opportunity for revenge has finally come. To that Lan Yuyan, and everyone in the world."

After Lan Yuyan left the underworld, she still couldn't completely relax.After all, Zhu Erdan is someone who often stays with Gu Huai, if there is something wrong with his heart, Gu Huai will be in danger.

But the last time the two of them talked about that, he really couldn't bear the shame to take the initiative to find Gu Huai to reconcile... Of course, Gu Huai might not be willing to reconcile with him.

How to do it?The way to become a green snake acting like a baby is no longer feasible, and he will not transform into other animals, at most he can do some disguise.

By the way, disguise technique!Lan Yuyan had a flash of inspiration, drew a ray of light and painted on her face a few times, after a while, that face became wrinkled and very old.

He changed into a tattered set of clothes, turned his hair and eyebrows white, and made his back stick out.So, he just became a crooked old lady.

He looked in the mirror with satisfaction, and went to find Gu Huai Pengci with a snickering smile.

***

Gu Huai had just had a quarrel with Zhu Erdan, who never drank much, went straight to the wine table and drank several glasses, and everyone at the table was dumbfounded.Although Gu Huai went out to drink with them every day, when they were drinking, Gu Huai would sit on the side and drink tea with a teacup. His image was not like a young son, but like an old man.

But today I don't know what kind of madness he was having, he drank this strong wine glass by glass, sure enough, he couldn't stand up after a while.

Wang Huacheng quickly supported the fallen Gu Huai, and said helplessly, "Brother, why are you angry with that Zhu Erdan? He has no brains. Why are you angry at yourself with his words?"

Someone else interjected: "Brother Erdan is not what it used to be, how can you say that he has no brains? The poem you just wrote is really wonderful!"

Gu Huai slowly raised his head and glared at the person with the word "stupid" drawn on his head.Then he looked at Wang Huacheng in a daze, and said indistinctly: "Brother Huacheng...please...take me home..."

"Okay, young master, no, it's the ancestors. You and Zhu Erdan are my ancestors!" Wang Huacheng resignedly pulled Gu Huai's arm onto his shoulder, and dragged it back under his armpit.

Gu Huai was so drunk that he staggered along the way. He was already tall, and Wang Huacheng struggled to support him, so he simply carried him on his back.

Gu Huai buried his face on Wang Huacheng's shoulder.Not long after, Wang Huacheng felt the clothes on his shoulders wet.

He was startled, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Hey, brother, are you okay, didn't you just argue with Zhu Erdan? As for crying?"

After finishing speaking, he spit secretly again: "Damn it, Zhu Erdan, my brother is so angry, I will turn around and kowtow to you to apologize!"

Gu Huai muttered something, but Wang Huacheng didn't catch it.Then he asked him loudly: "What? What did you just say?"

Gu Huai said it again, Wang Huacheng heard clearly, Gu Huai called "Second Qing".

Wang Huacheng was at a loss for words for a moment. He thought that when Gu Huai was drunk, he would cry and call women, mother, and even Zhu Erdan, but he didn't expect to cry and call pets.

Wang Huacheng said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, look at your inseparable one, I will send you back to see it immediately. Hey, I really don't understand what you think all day long. Is it okay to raise something with fur? Okay? Gotta get a snake. Scary."

"Erqing...I'm sorry, I didn't want you..."

"I know, I know."

"I don't want to delay you, I don't want you to be punished... Please forget me... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

He kept murmuring the word "sorry" in his mouth, with a hint of crying.Although Wang Huacheng didn't know exactly what happened, Gu Huai's groaning made him feel uncomfortable, so he stopped, looked back at him, and asked, "Brother, I beg you not to cry. Why did you change when you got drunk?" individually?"

Gu Huai's tears were still seeping out.Wang Huacheng didn't know how to comfort others, so he could only walk behind his back without saying a word while suffering.

When he was about to reach the door of Gu Huai's house, suddenly, a figure emerged from the alley.Then a walking stick slammed down on his head.Wang Huacheng dodged it swiftly, looked up in surprise and anger, and saw a white-haired old lady glaring at him while holding a crutch.

Why is the old lady so good these days?he thought with horror.
