"Why are there roosters in the underworld?" he asked after taking a look.
"This is a child from the mortal world who lost his soul and mistakenly entered the underworld. A Taoist priest is killing a chicken to bring the child back to life."
The green-faced ghost general smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please take another look."
He said three (four) miqi 亻er two four finished.
A crack appeared on the front of the rooster.
Through this hole, Zhou Kao saw a bed in a room of a wealthy family, on which lay a pale-faced child.
There was a Taoist priest nearby who was casting a spell to call back the soul of the child. Many of the child's family members were gathered nearby, all with nervous expressions, as if they were waiting for the child's soul to return.
When the big rooster saw the exit in front of it, it crowed and jumped out with the child's soul, returning from the underworld to the world of the living.
The Taoist immediately protected the child's soul and sent it into his body.
The unconscious child's breathing became noticeably better after his soul returned to his body.
Zhou Kao was quite surprised when he saw this.
This is indeed a Taoist priest from the mortal world summoning souls.
He had never seen it before.
However, Zhou Kao saw the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest seemed to be looking towards the underworld.
"Hey, who is that person?"
The Taoist saw Zhou Kao standing next to the Green-Faced Turtle General, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Although he saw Zhou Kao, he felt that there seemed to be a layer of fog covering this person, and even his divine eyes could not see clearly. He could only confirm that it was a person, a living person.
"Walking in the underworld in a living body, who is this master?" The Taoist priest who was summoning the spirit was very surprised.
Then quickly, the gap in the underworld closed, and the Yin and Yang were separated again.
During this period, the Taoist priest did not dare to open his third eye to investigate.
That is taboo.
The Yin Qi in the underworld is too heavy. If a living person walks in the underworld for a long time, he will be corroded by the Yin Qi and eventually die in the underworld. Even if a person practices Taoism, he will be protected by the Taoism.
I dare not walk around in the underworld at will. If I encounter an evil ghost in the underworld, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape.
He knew he couldn't afford to offend anyone who could walk like this in the underworld.
Walked for a while.
Zhou Kao saw a city spanning the earth. A black river meandered from afar, circling the city and disappearing into the distance.
The green-faced ghost soldier said as he looked at a huge city not far away.
"We're here. Ahead is the territory of a ghost king. It's the closest city to our City God Temple, or to the mortal world."
The green-faced ghost general said.
"Is that the City of the Dead?" Zhou Kao asked.
The green-faced ghost shook his head and said:
"It's not the City of the Dead, it's just an ordinary ghost town. Just like in the human world, there are ordinary county towns and prosperous big cities. The City of the Dead is a big city in the underworld, and Yama is in charge. How can the Ghost King rule the City of the Dead?!"
After walking forward for a while, the green-faced ghost general stopped.
"Master Zhou, we can't go any further, otherwise we will be discovered by the ghost king's soldiers. I can only ask you to go forward alone. I will wait here for your return.
Lord Zhou, there's no need to be afraid. Although you're going alone to the moat to retrieve the placenta, the fierce ghosts and ghost kings in the underworld can hardly harm you, Lord Zhou, the descended star lord. Lord Zhou, you can rest assured."
Chapter 81 Sir, it will melt if you wash it again
Zhou Kao heard this and said;
"In that case, you will wait here for a while."
"Of course I will wait here for Master Zhou's return."
The green-faced ghost general saluted.
Soon, Zhou Kao approached the ghost town.
Near the ghost town, Zhou Kao saw all kinds of ghosts living in the city, coming in and out, just like a city in the mortal world.
But under the wall of the ghost town, next to the moat, he saw many female ghosts washing something in the moat. It looked like clothes, but it was not.
The water of that river is black, like ink, but beside the river,
Zhou Kao walked over and took a look.
The female ghosts squatted beside the river and washed pieces of bloody human flesh.
Zhou Kao's heart moved. This was exactly what the City God who had turned into green smoke said.
"What are you washing?"
Zhou Kao walked over and asked calmly.
A female ghost said:
"We wash the placenta from the human world. If we wash it ten times, the next reincarnated ghost will be extremely intelligent and have an extraordinary appearance. If we wash it two or three times, the next reincarnated ghost will be ugly and mediocre."
"Stop talking and wash quickly. If you don't meet the quota, the Ghost King will be angry again."
A ghost who looked like a woman next to him spoke.
Yeah, Zhou Kao nodded secretly.
What they were cleaning was the placenta.
The so-called placenta is the placenta in a woman's belly.
If these female ghosts only clean the placenta two or three times, the person who gets this placenta will be an ordinary person after birth. If the placenta is cleaned more than ten times, the person who gets this placenta will be handsome and wealthy.
If the placenta is not cleaned once, the person who gets such a placenta will be ignorant and ugly.
What Zhou Kao wanted today was a pair of placenta.
As soon as he thought of this, he strode over and came to the river.
Seeing the bloody placentas piled up like a mountain beside the river bank, Zhou Kao didn't care about the dirt and stench, just picked up one at random, and squatted by the river to wash it.
When the ghost soldier who was guarding the female ghost saw Zhou Kao, his expression changed slightly, and a young man came over directly.
"Who the hell are you???"
"Wait, you smell like a living person, are you a living person?" The ghost soldier suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Kao, looking very surprised.
Zhou Kao nodded and said, "Yes, I am a living person. I came here to ask for a pair of purple river placenta. Please give me some face. I don't have any money on me. Otherwise, I will go back and burn it for you."
"Haha, I don't want your money, I just want you. In the underworld, all I eat is dirt and ashes, and I haven't eaten human flesh. Today, I met you, an unlucky living person who accidentally entered the underworld, so I brought you down to feast on you."
The ghost soldier laughed excitedly and suddenly turned into an evil ghost with a green face and fangs, rushing towards Zhou Kao.
"Not only do you not give me face, you also want to eat me. What kind of logic is that? The world is big, the fist is the biggest, right? The truth is the biggest. If you don't listen to reason, don't blame me for taking action."
Zhou Kao had a calm face, showing no fear at all, when he saw the evil ghosts transformed from the ghost soldiers rushing towards him.
Nor did he draw his sword,
With just a casual wave of his hand, a few starlights gathered on his fist and punched him.
Even though he was given face, he really thought he was easy to control.
"Ah~!"
The evil ghost let out a miserable cry and exploded in mid-air. Its body was shattered into countless pieces. It was unknown whether it could be restored in the future, but from the looks of it, it was unlikely to be able to be restored.
There was an old ghost general next to him who was a seasoned veteran with some experience. When the young man came forward to interrogate Zhou Kao, he did not do anything.
Instead, he observed from the spot to see if this person was a pushover.
However, when I saw that this living person was actually a dragon crossing the river, and was covered in starlight, I knew he must have a background.
So I quickly lowered my stance and stopped trying to irritate this gentleman.
The female ghost who was also cleaning the placenta next to him looked at him in surprise.
It seemed that no one expected that a living person would come here to clean the placenta.
And he acts so domineeringly.
Zhou Kao said nothing, but just washed the placenta in his hands. After the bloody placenta passed through his hands, it was washed in the water of the underworld and the blood stains disappeared without a trace of stench.
After washing it for the second time, the placenta in Zhou Kao's hand had turned bright pink, faintly emitting a lustrous color, which was better than after being washed ten times by other female ghosts.
After washing for the third time, the flesh of the placenta gradually faded away and became delicate and translucent.
After washing five times, the placenta had become a crystal jade membrane, no longer looking like a placenta at all.
When Zhou Kao wanted to wash it again, a female ghost next to him said in a vague voice: "Sir, you can't wash it anymore. If you wash it again, the placenta will melt.
"Sir, the placenta in your hand has become a jade fetus, the best placenta in the world. Anyone who obtains such a placenta will surely become a prime minister or a prince."
"Oh, really?"
Zhou Kao subconsciously stopped and stopped cleaning.
I'm really worried that it will dissolve if I continue washing.
That would be such a waste.
Zhou Kao turned around and said, "Thank you for telling me."
After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave with the jade fetus.
This placenta was prepared for Zhang Yingjie. He had promised the Zhang couple that he would find a good family for their child in the next life.
The female ghost suddenly put down her work, knelt down in front of Zhou Kao and said, "Sir, you must be an extraordinary person to have come to the underworld as a living person. I know my status is low, but I have the audacity to ask you for a favor."
"You bold female ghost, you dare to take advantage of this opportunity to cause chaos, do you want to die?"
When the ghost soldiers guarding nearby saw the female ghost acting like this, one of them couldn't help it. He became furious and rushed over aggressively, wanting to capture the female ghost.
Zhou Kao waved his hand and said, "You guys leave now. This female ghost just kindly reminded me, and I will listen to her now. Otherwise..."
Zhou Kao showed his fist to the ghost soldier.
When the ghost soldiers saw Zhou Kao speak, they thought of the brutality of his punch just now, trembled all over, and retreated to the side in a timid manner.
The ghost girl was overjoyed at this moment, and kowtowed to Zhou Kao and said, "Sir, I was a concubine of the Zhang family in Beiguo County. Because I was jealous, I listened to the maid's words and gave my wife a blood-activating medicine when she gave birth.
I caused my wife to die of postpartum hemorrhage and also caused the master's unborn child to die in the womb. After I came to my senses and realized the heinousness of my crime, I hanged myself. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
After saying this, the pretty female ghost opened her mouth, and a scarlet tongue fell out, bloody and scary.
Hmm? Beiguo? Zhang family?
Zhou Kao immediately realized the factor.
Chapter 82 It’s really the Zhang family
This kid Zhang Mingdao and I are truly destined to be together!!
Could this hanged ghost be Zhang Mingdao's grandfather?
Zhou Kao had never heard that old man Zhang had a concubine who caused his wife to have a hemorrhage. That wife was his original wife and had been living well!
If I were to give it to his family, I could only give him a brother or a son.
It seems that Zhang Mingdao's wife really has no children!
I can really give him a big son when I go back!!
Zhou Kao thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud. He just frowned and said, "You harmed others out of jealousy, and now after death you are punished to wash the placenta in this river, giving birth to sons and daughters to women in the world. This is karma. What do you want from me?"
"I know I deserve all of this, so I don't feel any resentment. Only by washing these rotten hands can I atone for the sins I committed in my past life."
The hanged ghost stretched out her hands, which were cracked by the river water, and covered her face with sobs, saying, "But there is still one thing that worries me. The son of the master died in his womb because of me. I have always wanted to make up for it by giving him a child.
Today I saw the young master washing the purple river cart by the river. He must have a reincarnated person in his hand.
Please have mercy on me, sir, and give the reincarnated baby to the Zhang family. If I do that, I will be willing to work like an ox or a horse, or even a slave, in my next life to repay your great kindness!!!"
Zhou Kao hadn't reacted yet, but some of the little kids were getting anxious.
"You female ghost, how dare you!!! You think you can steal this master's jade placenta with just a few words? You're so greedy! It seems you don't have enough placentas to clean. I'll give you 500 more placentas later!!!"
The ghost soldier next to him could no longer hold back and shouted, his face showing a bit of jealousy and panic.
