The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Immortals are immortal and free, which is why people who practice cultivation want to become immortals.

After becoming an immortal, the mortal bones are refined and upgraded to immortal bones, the lifespan is increased, and the face will no longer age.

If one becomes an immortal at a young age, then his appearance will be frozen in that of a child.

If you get older, even if you become an immortal you will only look like an old man.

"Fairy..."

Xu Zhiqing was lying on a recliner, looking at the sky full of stars, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

It seems that immortals are not immortal beings?

Immortals will die. Besides dying from disasters, they may also die from the end of their lifespan.

This thought came to Xu Zhiqing's mind, and he suddenly became curious about how long he would live.

He became an immortal on his own, and no one told him that immortals have a lifespan.

He also thought that by becoming an immortal, he would be able to transcend life and death.

"Becoming an immortal should transcend the life and death of mortals!"

It seems he had misunderstood it before.

Xu Zhiqing glanced at the panel.

However, his lifespan was not displayed on his personal panel in the Hall of All Worlds.

His realm is still that of a true person.

Xu Zhiqing was lying on the chair, thinking about these things in his mind, enjoying the comfort of the cool breeze at night.

"Woo..."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Xu Zhiqing, who was thinking, suddenly came back to his senses.

what's the situation?
Xu Zhiqing noticed that something seemed a little strange around him and immediately turned his head to look around.

Just as he turned his head, two vague ghostly figures holding iron chains came through the wall.

The two ghosts were wearing white clothes with the word "差" (bad) on their chests.

Xu Zhiqing looked at the two ghosts and reacted immediately.

Isn’t this the ghost messenger who appeared in Yang Tianyou’s yard earlier?
This ghost messenger came to find him?

When Xu Zhiqing thought of this, his eyes became playful.

If the ghost messenger attacks him, it means that the Heavenly Court has taken action against him.

Even if he has a grudge against the Heavenly Court, he will not openly stop the immortals from the Heavenly Court from coming down to earth to investigate the case.

He looked at the ghost who was gradually approaching, and a smile appeared on his face.

He welcomed the ghost to attack him, so that even if he went to the underworld, he would have a reason to stand his ground.

Xu Zhiqing is a person from outside the secular world. He is not under the jurisdiction of heaven when he is alive, and he will not go to the underworld after his death.

The ghost came to find him.

This really surprised Xu Zhiqing.

After the two ghost officials passed through the wall and entered the yard, they saw the target lying on the chair at a glance.

It's different from what they thought their goal was sleeping.

The target's two eyeballs were shining like lights.

"Did he see us?"

"You should have seen it, right?"

The two ghost officials felt a little scared when they saw that their target was not afraid of them.

Seeing the two ghost messengers coming in and not moving forward, Xu Zhiqing changed from lying to sitting, and then smiled and said to the two ghost messengers: "Two guests, since you are here, why are you standing there?"

When he didn't speak, the two ghost officers were still wondering whether the target had seen them.

Now he spoke.

The two ghost officials confirmed it immediately.

The two ghost officials looked at each other.

"Do you want to do it?"

"Do it!"

They didn't know Xu Zhiqing, so they felt there was no need to talk to him too much.

Just as the two ghost officials were about to attack Xu Zhiqing, Xu Zhiqing suddenly said, "Two guests, please wait a moment!"

The two ghost officials who were ready to take action looked at Xu Zhiqing with some confusion.

One of them even said in a cold voice: "Xu, your life span has come to an end. If you have anything to say, why not follow us to the Yama Palace and talk about it!"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and waved his hand when he heard this.

"Don't worry, my two guests. I'm right here. How can I run away?"

"What I want to say is that since the two ghost messengers have come to my door, they are my guests!"

"When guests come to my house, how can I, as the host, not entertain them?"

Xu Zhiqing said this and simply stood up from the recliner.

"If you two are not in a hurry, I will prepare a table of good food and wine for you two. How about we set off after we have eaten and drunk our fill?"

The two ghost officials were a little confused.

The two of them came to seduce souls, and this guy still wanted to prepare a table of delicious food for them?

The two men came back to their senses and said, "Mr. Xu, are you trying to bribe us?"

"If you want to bribe us, you are making a wrong decision!"

"Our mission to come here to collect souls was ordered by the Lord of Yama Palace himself!"

After the two ghost officials finished speaking, one of them took an iron chain and was about to step forward to put it on Xu Zhiqing.

When Xu Zhiqing heard the ghost say that it was the direct order from King Yama, he laughed instead.

How did King Yama know him?
It seems that it was the Heavenly Court who was behind this and wanted him to leave with Yang Tianyou!

Xu Zhiqing shook his head. This immortal in heaven was too petty.

He didn't even help Yang Tianyou in an upright manner.

Even so, I was still implicated.

"My Lords, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to ask you to hold back. I really just want to treat you two simply!"

The reason why he wanted to entertain these two ghost officials was that he wanted to hear more information from them.

The two ghost officials had weak soul power, and he could kill them with just one palm strike.

Rather than just killing the ghost messenger directly, he would rather know more information.

"It's not easy for the two of you to come up here!"

"I won't leave anyway? You really don't want to try it?"

Xu Zhiqing is a Taoist who became an immortal. He knows that the ghost officials in the underworld can really resist the temptation of human delicacies.

There is nothing spicy to eat for the ghosts in the underworld.

Unless the connections behind these two ghost officials are powerful and they can get a lot of food.

When he was talking about the whole table, he saw the two ghost officials swallowing their saliva obviously.

After finishing his words, Xu Zhiqing did not wait for the two ghost officials to speak. He continued, "Give me half an incense stick of time!"

Without waiting for the two ghost officials to reply, he walked towards the kitchen.

The two ghost officials looked at each other, and finally they couldn't suppress their desire for greed.

"Then half an incense stick is enough time!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded and went into the kitchen to get busy.

There were all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen, and Xu Zhiqing had finished preparing it in less than half an incense stick of time.

Rice balls, hard-boiled eggs, fried chicken, fish, etc!
After Xu Zhiqing brought these things up and arranged them one by one, the two ghost officials couldn't wait to start eating.

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Zhiqing quickly stopped the two ghost messengers.

He noticed the unfriendly look from the ghost messenger and immediately said with a smile, "I've prepared some drinks for you two!"

When the two ghost messengers heard Xu Zhiqing stop them because of the alcohol, their anger turned into joy and they hurriedly urged him, “Go, go!”

Xu Zhiqing nodded and went to get some drinks.

Soon, he brought a jug of wine.

"You two, why don't you have a drink first!"

Xu Zhiqing filled the glasses for the two ghost officials.

When the two ghost officials smelled the wine, their eyes lit up.

"This wine...why does it smell so good?"

"This is the wine that the gods in heaven drink. Do you think it smells good?"

When the two ghost officials heard that this was wine for the gods to drink, they hurriedly drank the full cups of wine in front of them.

After drinking a glass of wine, their faces turned red in an instant.

Not only their cheeks, but even their eyes were a little red.

After a few breaths, the redness on the faces of the two ghost officials gradually faded. They looked at each other, looked at the drinks in the cups, and couldn't help but shout.

"happy!"

"I never felt so happy when I was alive!"

Xu Zhiqing smiled as he poured wine for the two ghost officials, and soon the two cups were filled!
"Since you two think it tastes so good, drink more!"

The two ghost officials were not polite to Xu Zhiqing either.

The two of them picked up their wine glasses and drank them in big gulps.

Xu Zhiqing filled the glass three times, and the two drank three times.

After three times, the red color on the faces of the two ghost officials could not be faded away at all, and they both exuded a strong smell of alcohol.

Xu Zhiqing looked at the two ghost officials with a smile.

This is the wine he drinks on a daily basis.

He usually doesn't drink too much because he will get really drunk.

Giving it to the two ghost officials would satisfy them before they die.

"My Lords, eat, eat with big mouthfuls!"

Xu Zhiqing invited two more people to eat.

The two ghost officials smelled the fragrance of the food on the table and started eating with their hands without using chopsticks.

Xu Zhiqing was responsible for pouring wine for the two ghost officials.

In just a short while, half of the food on the table was gone.

The two ghost officials looked a little dazed after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Xu Zhiqing saw that the time was almost up, so he asked, "Do you know how long I have to live? Why do you say that my life span has already ended?"

"Brother, we two don't know how long you have left to live!"

One of the ghost officials had a tongue that was a little too big.

"Yes... yes, Lord Palace Master!"

"The Lord of Yama Palace wants you to... die. Even if you don't die, you have to die!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard this, he poured another glass of wine for the two ghost officials.

"My two elder brothers, why does the Lord want me to die?"

"belch!"

One of the ghost officials burped and said drunkenly, "It's... it's a great man from Heaven, and he wants to take your life!"

"Heaven?"

Xu Zhiqing smiled inwardly when he heard this, it was indeed the Heavenly Palace.

He continued to persuade them to drink, and after they drank another glass of wine, he continued to ask: "My two lords, I wonder if you have seen the lord in the sky?"

"I...I didn't!"

One of the ghosts shook his head.

Another ghost officer supported the table with his arms.

"I...I heard it. It seemed to be the Queen...the Queen Mother..."

The ghost had just said the words "Queen Mother" when he wanted to say the rest but he couldn't.

Because he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell drunkenly on the table with a bang.

Another ghost was lying on the ground and snoring.

When Xu Zhiqing saw this, he took a breath and realized that he had poured too much wine for the two ghost officials!

He glanced at the two ghost officials on the ground and prepared to kill them.

Bang bang, two balls of fire suddenly appeared.

The two balls of fire fell directly on the two drunken ghost officials and began to burn with a whoosh.

The two ghost officials were too drunk. The fire burned on them, and they just kept shouting, "Hot, hot..."

Other than that, nothing more.

Not long after, the two ghost officials turned into air.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiqing turned his head and looked to the side.

"Nezha, have you learned a new spell?"

"Well, my master taught me the Samadhi True Fire. I didn't master it before, but now is a good time to try it out!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqing nodded slightly.

"This Samadhi True Fire looks extraordinary. If you can fully master it, your realm may even be elevated!"

Nezha chuckled.

Then Nezha pointed at the remaining food on the table and asked curiously, "Senior Xu, why were you entertaining two ghost messengers just now?"

"Haha, let me tell you a reason. You definitely won't be able to guess it!"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and said, "These two ghost messengers were sent by King Yama to capture my soul!"

Nezha was surprised.

"The Soul Catcher?"

"Just some low-level ghost messengers!"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head and said that he was not even the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

However, it is not wrong to call the ghost messenger the soul-catcher.

"But you didn't encounter any ghost messenger!"

Xu Zhiqing thought that Nezha was also helping Yang Tianyou!

Why didn’t the ghost come?
“They should be afraid of me!”

Nezha said casually.

He didn't know why the ghost didn't come to trouble him.

"Maybe!"

Xu Zhiqing didn't think much about it.

He patted Nezha on the shoulder.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest first!"

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

He didn't tell Nezha about the Queen Mother.

Xu Zhiqing plans to talk about it again tomorrow. He said it tonight, and maybe he will say it again tomorrow.

The early morning sun slowly rises from the east, unknown as to which golden crow is driving it.

When Xu Zhiqing came out of the room, he saw Nezha practicing shooting in the yard.

After he went up and gave some instructions, he prepared to take Nezha to Yang Mansion.

Before they left the house, Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji arrived.

When Yang Tianyou came over, he took a look around.

"Uncle Yang, what are you looking for?"

Nezha noticed it and was very curious.

"I encountered a ghost messenger yesterday..."

Yang Tianyou explained it and asked Nezha if there was any here.

Hearing this, Nezha laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to meet a ghost messenger too! It's a pity that you came too late. If you had come here last night, you might have met a ghost messenger again!"

When Yang Tianyou heard this, the expression on his face changed.

"I didn't expect that the Heavenly Court would resort to such dirty tricks!"

Yang Tianyou looked unhappy.

When the ghost who was supposed to take souls came to his door last night, he thought that if he was in a sleeping state, he might be taken away by the ghost.

Not only did the ghost come to find him, but he also came to find his brother Xu.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiqing waved his hand indifferently.

"The Heavenly Court doesn't have many tricks left to use!"

"The more they resort to such tactics, the more it shows that they have no way to stop you... Now it should be us who are taking over!"

The Heavenly Court beat him, and Xu Zhiqing also had evidence that he had interfered in the matter.

Yang Tianyou understood the meaning of Xu Zhiqing's words.

"Brother Xu..."

He felt that the current situation was all due to him.

If it weren't for him, Brother Xu wouldn't have been implicated.

Xu Zhiqing looked at Yao Ji before Yang Tianyou finished speaking.

"Instead of talking about this, it's better to think about how the Heavenly Court will deal with us next!"

"There is another thing I want to tell you. The ghost messenger who came last night to take our souls should have been instructed by the Queen Mother!" (End of this chapter)
