Yun Chao Works Dao Inheritance System Dao Inheritance System VIP Volume 131, Ghost Messenger
He gazed at the corpses scattered on the ground, sneered coldly, and suddenly flipped his hand. The next moment, a piece of talisman paper appeared in his hand. As he took out the talisman paper, the spiritual power inside him stirred, and a flame of yang fire was drawn out to ignite all the talismans in his hand. Then, he tossed these talismans into the air.
But then these burning talismans seemed to have their own consciousness, and suddenly dispersed in the air, turning into streams of light that searched for a corpse to attach to. In an instant, all the corpses on the ground were drawn to the talismans, and a wisp of flame gradually turned into a ball of fire. The temperature of the yang fire was extraordinary, and within ten or so minutes, all the corpses on the ground had been burned to ashes. A gust of yin wind swept by, dispersing the ashes in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.
He let out a long sigh, shook his head and turned his gaze back to the several wooden boxes on the ground and the resentful atmosphere wandering in this reality. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that the origin of this room was actually a surge, as if it had been stimulated by something, and a loud roar came from inside.
"Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh." The shrill cries were extremely piercing, even Bai Yu was stimulated by them and felt dizzy, almost unable to stand firmly. At this moment, the cries grew louder and louder, suddenly the grievances in the room rapidly converged, gradually condensing into a ball, with twisted ghostly faces faintly flashing within, as if they were the painful expressions of people at the moment of death.
Suddenly, this mass of resentment turned into a rubber ball and flew rapidly towards Bai Yu. Bai Yu was shocked and his footsteps stumbled, transforming into lightning as he flashed to the side, avoiding the mass of resentment. At the same time, his heart was filled with shock and secretly guessed: Could it be that Gui Xiao is about to be born?
But in fact, it was not. Only to see these grievances flying back to the place where Bai Yu was originally, there were actually illusory shadows flying out from under that place, and upon closer inspection of the faces of those shadows, they could vaguely be identified as Wu Lao Da and Li Jiuzhen.
It turns out that these are the ghosts of those who died here. It seems that after seeing that these people did not die well, they also spared no one's soul. They want to make their souls fly and scatter.
Bai Yu didn't want to intervene in such matters, but instead watched as things unfolded before his eyes. Not a hint of sympathy was shown, this was the law of cause and effect, everything has a reason and must have a consequence, these people had done so many bad things in their past lives and now it's time for them to pay back all at once.
But just at this time, two strands of black light emerged from somewhere in the house, which were invisible to the naked eye and could only be seen by Bai Yu with his divine eyes open.
Looking at the sudden appearance of black light and white feathers, I felt extremely surprised and strange in my heart, not knowing what this thing was. However, suddenly these two strands of black light slowly condensed and gradually transformed into a human figure, and in an instant, it turned into a person!
Only to see the two men with ferocious faces, wearing a set of ancient official uniforms, holding a black chain in their hands, swinging it back and forth. As soon as they appeared in human form, they threw the chain in their hands towards the resentful aura, and the chain seemed to turn into a snake, making a "hissing" sound as it drilled into the resentful aura.
The chain stirred back and forth in the midst of resentment, after a few moments. Suddenly, the chain shook violently, and two figures with official uniforms opened their eyes slightly, exerting force as if using all their strength to pull out a cluster of blurry shadows.
White Feather fixed his gaze and looked over, only to see that it was actually the soul of the person who had just been absorbed into the grievances earlier!
At this moment, an official stepped forward and said to the black air mass: "This is not a place for you to vent your grievances. Come with us, and you will naturally be satisfied when you arrive at the underworld." He then took out a token from his bosom, and as soon as it was taken out, it emitted a flashing black light. The resentful energy seemed to have been attracted by something, and flew rapidly towards the token.
It was quite strange that this mass of resentment suddenly began to shrink rapidly when it encountered the resentment, and in a short moment, it gradually merged into it and quickly disappeared. It seemed that they thought Bai Yu was an ordinary person, so they didn't pay attention to him, and prepared to leave with the souls on the chain.
At this point, Bai Yu seemed to have understood and realized that these were the ghostly envoys of the underworld. They had come to collect the souls of these people. Feeling curious about the ghostly envoys, Bai Yu hastily took a few steps forward and blocked their path, smiling at them: "I wonder if you two are the ghostly envoys of the underworld?"
The two ghostly envoys seemed to be greatly surprised, they exchanged a glance with each other, and one of the ghostly envoys took a step forward and said: "I don't know what kind of person you are, how can you see us?" However, there was a cautious color in their eyes, it seems that they were on guard against Bai Yu.
Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "You two don't have to be nervous, I am the cultivator of this place. I intercepted your path just out of curiosity, it was a bit abrupt, please forgive me..." The two ghostly envoys carefully examined Bai Yu and saw that there was indeed a faint glow on his body, indicating that he had achieved spiritual enlightenment.
The ghost who spoke earlier nodded slightly and hastily made a bow, saying: "So it's the Taoist from the mortal world, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."
Bai Yu also returned a courtesy and asked, "I wonder how the two of you will deal with these scum. Will they be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell? After all, they are the most evil people."
The two ghost enforcers both smiled, and one of them said: "Given their crimes, going to hell is inevitable. It's unknown how many years it will take for them to come out. To clear the grievances of so many resentful spirits, it will take at least a decade or more, after which they will be beaten down to the 18th level of hell and experience layer upon layer of hardships before being able to reincarnate in the animal realm."
Bai Yu nodded and smiled: "Well, since that's the case, I won't bother you two anymore. You two go ahead and attend to your official duties."
The oni bowed again and said in unison: "Then we'll take our leave." They were about to turn around and leave.
However, Bai Yu thought of something and stopped the two ghostly messengers again, saying: "Wait a minute, I have another question to ask you both to clarify."
The two ghosts stopped in their tracks and asked, "What's going on?"
Bai Yu sank into thought for a moment before saying, "I've been cultivating for a long time and often discover that there are many evil spirits lingering in the mortal world, but I don't know why the underworld doesn't manage them?"
The ghost who spoke first smiled and said, "This matter is not that we don't care about it, but rather we can't care about it. As the times change and society becomes more complex, there are always people who die unjustly. These people, after death, cannot find their enemies, so they linger in this mortal world. Unable to find their enemies, they can only become wandering spirits or vengeful ghosts. I suppose you, Daoist priest, don't understand these things because your days of cultivation have been too short. We can only take these people away when we've found the families of those who wronged them. If some people don't even know how they died themselves and carry resentment with them, then our underworld doesn't care about them." He smiled again and said, "In ancient times, there were still Daoist priests like you and some high-ranking monks who could help these lost souls ascend, but in this current era of decline, we can only let them become malevolent spirits. We will only intervene when necessary."
Bai Yu nodded slightly at the words, but fell silent. He had never thought about these things before, and now that he did, it was indeed this way. Nowadays, most cultivators were weak in their cultivation, so who could still use the Transcendence Technique? It was possible that by now, the true Transcendence Technique had already been lost, and as a result of years of accumulation, many ghost dens had formed in various parts of the world.
Upon seeing that, the Taoist priest couldn't help but come down from his contemplation. The ghost messenger smiled and said: "If there's nothing else, Priest, we'll take our leave first. After all, there are still people waiting for us to settle accounts below."
Bai Yu hastily regained his composure and bowed to the two ghostly envoys: "Alright, in that case we'll take our leave."
The two ghosts nodded slightly, then pulled the middle ghost soul in their hands and rushed towards the wall of the basement. However, just as they were about to hit the wall, their figures suddenly became vague and slowly disappeared along with the other ghost souls, vanishing into thin air.
Seeing the oni leave, Shiratori shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. He swept his gaze around the surroundings once more, sizing up this underground room.
He muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to destroy the corpses in these boxes too, otherwise after a while this place will rot and be discovered by people, who knows what kind of commotion it will cause." Then he took out several talismans and set fire to these boxes as well.
He was about to burn these corpses, and Bai Yu didn't want to stay in this place for a long time. He turned around and left, and when he came out of the underground room, he found that the sky had already darkened. This originally dimly lit underground room seemed even darker. Walking out of the factory, he looked at the moon hanging on the horizon, and his heart had some thoughts again.
It is said that after doing good deeds, one will receive some merits. These merits can help avoid disasters and difficulties. If a cultivator accumulates enough merits, they may even ascend to heaven in broad daylight when their Dao is accomplished, achieving immortality and becoming an immortal being. But I wonder how many merits he has accumulated by doing these things. He shook his head again, thinking that these illusory and elusive matters are not worth thinking about too much, lest one ends up with a mental illness.
Drop.
Just then, as he was lost in thought, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
In the real world, it was probably the first time since the system had been activated that something could be heard, which made Bai Yu extremely curious about what the system would say.
