Please come down when it gets dark

Chapter 229 Waiting in advance

After tossing and so on, my mouth was really dry, I took the tea handed over by King Yama and drank it all in one gulp.

It is said to be tea, but after drinking it, it has a faint taste of traditional Chinese medicine.

Although it smelled like medicine, the tea was not bad to drink, and I was extremely thirsty, so I drank the tea without much thought.

But the moment I finished drinking the tea and put the cup on the table, everything in front of me changed drastically.

I went back to the train from decades ago. In the old-fashioned carriage, sitting in front of me was the King of Yama, and the perverted Jia Lan.
'I' turned my head and glanced at the window glass, without any suspense - the reflection reflected was Guangwu Heze.
"We're going to the underworld soon."

After Yan Luo Wang murmured something, he continued to say to me:
"Have you thought about it? Once you enter the underworld, you won't be able to turn back.
After reincarnation, I will cut off all your memories and immortal spells in this life, and then make a fake life and death book for you, so that even if the heavenly court comes to check, nothing will be found.

After the third reincarnation, I will return the memory of this life to you.

As for the immortal law, we must find a way to store it, and after the third generation has memories, we can take the immortal law back."

Before 'I', Guangwu Heze could speak, the big wrestler on the side said:
"Your Highness, it's not that we don't believe you.
It's just that if there is a deviation in the reincarnation of the third generation, and you can't get back the memory and immortality, then what should you do? "

"Then let's be mortals with peace of mind."

This sentence came out of 'I', after a pause, 'I' continued:
"Being a safe and stable mortal may be much better than we are hiding in hiding now.
Everything depends on God's will. After the third life, we will either retrieve our memories and magic, and continue the major events we have not completed.

Either we are ordinary people and only worry about five buckets of rice every day."

Having said that, 'I' smiled at King Yama and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for this journey.

But after three lifetimes, I still need to trouble you to wake us up."

King Yama gave a wry smile and said:

"At least I can clean up the third world
But there is one more thing to be clear, in these three lifetimes, your life will not be too easy.

Poor fortune, shallow salary, and short life are unavoidable, so as not to attract the attention of the heavenly court.

Fortunately, with a short life, the reincarnation of the three lives can be completed earlier, and you can meet again in less than a hundred years."

Just as King Yan Luo finished speaking, the train whistled suddenly, and then the speed of the train also slowed down.

"This is the last stop before entering the underworld - Wangxiang Terrace.
All souls who enter the underworld must stay at the Wangxiang Terrace for a while.

Let them take a last look at the direction of their hometown, and after entering the underworld, they will end their lives. "

While speaking, Yan Luo Wang had already stood up, and then said to Jia Lan beside him:
"Jiaxian, you go down with me to have a look.

Let's see what the past hometown has become
It's inconvenient for the three of you to go out, just wait for us on the train."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the reluctant Jia Lan to leave the carriage.

After the carriage door was closed again, Mr. Crane stood up and walked to the carriage door, opened a gap and took a look, then turned to 'me' and Lushi and said:
"Yan Luowang, this is the time for us to discuss the storage of immortal arts.
But Shenjun, is it too risky for us to hand over the third life to King Yama?
Among the three lives, once there is any friction between the heaven and the underworld, no one can say whether King Yama's thoughts will change?

At that time, for the benefit of the underworld, will he use us to make a deal?
No one can say for sure, when the time comes, we won't have any immortal skills or memories, so we can only be slaughtered by others."

After hearing Mr. Crane's words, 'I' was silent for a moment, then said:
"Since you have already decided to hand over the third generation to King Yama, then don't think about it.

If it is really like what you said, Mr. Crane, it is also our own choice.
What I need to think about now is to find a safe place to store the fairy magic."

The 'two people' in front of them all nodded, and Mr. Crane said:
"Before we set off, we all knew that we had to hide the immortal spells, and we had already hidden the spiritual roots and most of the immortal spells in advance.

Saved a little for the road
It's just that you still have the immortal law on your body, do you really want King Yama to keep it for you? "

'I' smiled slightly and said:

"I've already made plans.
But in order to recover the immortal law in the future, I still need to insure."

While speaking, 'I' stood up from the seat, and then even reached out and pulled out a Guangwu Heze who was exactly like 'me' from his body.

After this 'Guangwu Heze' appeared, he stood there motionless, staring at me blankly.

'I' said to him:
"I'm leaving Sanshi
You have to replace me and continue to be Guangwu Heze, and show up from time to time to make the gods in the sky think that I am still in the mortal world.

When I become a human being in the third life, you have to hide and find me after the third life.

At that time, Heavenly Court will probably already have clues about me, so you must find a way to protect me.
Guide me to get back my memory and fairy magic."

Hirotake Heze, who is exactly the same as 'me', nodded and said:
"After the third life, I can't find you, so what should I do?"

'I' said:
"Then you are the real Guangwu Heze, you can do what I haven't finished."

After listening to my words, Hirotake Aze, who was exactly like 'me', lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said:

"Isn't that still a great crime of destroying body and spirit?
I'm just a divine consciousness, and I can't bear such a big responsibility.

Don't worry, I will find you after the third generation.

You have to bear this responsibility yourself, and don’t bother my spiritual consciousness.”

At this time, there was a messy sound outside the carriage.

Those souls who wandered around the Wangxiang Terrace came back, and Guangwu Heze, who was exactly like 'me', said:

"After the third generation, we will see each other"

After finishing speaking, he disappeared in front of the three of us.

After a while, Yan Luo Wang returned to the carriage with Jia Lan.

The train continued on, and within half an hour, the train slowly stopped on a dimly lit station platform.

Yama stood up and said:
"At the terminal
Welcome the three of you to the underworld, according to the rules, Jiaxian, you can’t get out of the car, God Lord Guangwu, you three please come with me.”

After getting off the train with King Yama, we walked along the platform and walked into the station.

When passing by a small room similar to a control room, someone in the room coughed.

After hearing this voice, 'I' stopped and said to King Yama:
"Your Highness, please wait for me a moment, a friend is waiting for me inside."

King Yan Luo knew who was inside, he just smiled faintly, and then continued to walk towards the station with Lord Crane and Lishi.

After watching them walk away, I opened the door and entered the room, and said to a person standing in the shadows inside:

"I've been waiting for a long time, it's hard for you to be a living person, and you rushed to the underworld to wait for me.
Then I entrust you with my immortal technique."
