His voice was very soft, as gentle as he was.
He was wearing a simple turquoise robe, and his thin body was almost submerged in it.
Only the flickering candlelight on the table illuminated the man's fair and handsome face.
Three minutes later, Xie Chengtian slowly put down the brush, then stood up, walked around the desk, and came to Li Muhan and Xia Yue.
Li Muhan also quickly stood up and pulled up Xia Yue, who was sitting there indifferently.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Xie Chengtian clasped his hands and bowed to Li Muhan and Xia Yue.
"I bow to thank you two for saving my body and soul. If it weren't for you two, I don't know how long my soul and body would have been trapped in Yumen Pass."
Li Muhan smiled and scratched his head.
"It's not that serious. And Director Xie, um... now I should call you Master Xie. I admire your selflessness and dedication to protect Yulang City from disasters and expel evil spirits."
Xie Chengtian bowed again.
"I bow to you two, thank you for helping my junior fellow apprentice to resolve the knot that he has been holding for many years. Even though he is no longer useful, at least he can live on with a clear conscience."
"No, you are wrong, thank you, sir."
"No need to be so formal, benefactor. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xie."
"Okay, Brother Xie, then don't call me benefactor anymore. Just call me Li Muhan or Xiao Li. As for your junior brother, Director Wei, he is no mediocre person. The person who broke the chess game between you and the ghost general was not me, but your junior brother."
Xie Chengtian kept on bowing in thanks, and Li Muhan gently helped him up.
"In fact, you already knew this a long time ago, right? Only Director Wei can solve your chess game, because it was Director Wei who inspired you to create that chess game."
"Yes, I dare not hide it. My little trick made Brother Mu Han laugh at me."
"Okay, Brother Xie, stop being polite. Let me introduce you. This is Xia Yue, my fiancée."
In fact, Xia Yue couldn't get a word in. She felt that the way these two people spoke was so strange...why were they so flowery?
Now that the topic was finally about herself, Xia Yue knew that this was her chance to show off her grace and upbringing.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner tension, then stood up gracefully, smiled slightly, and showed just the right amount of gentleness and humility on her face.
Wait, how does the fiancée use ancient Chinese to refer to the person who is coming... Forget it, it’s too late, so this will do.
Finally, she imitated the gesture of clasping fists and bowing and said, "...I, I am Li Muhan's widow. Please, please give me your guidance."
"?"
"?"
Li Muhan and Xie Chengtian both turned their heads to Xia Yue.
"..."
Xia Yue's face turned red immediately. She knew she had said something wrong again, so she buried her head in Li Muhan's arms: "I, I, I didn't mean it..."
Chapter 672: The Bardo Period
After a cup of tea, Li Muhan explained to Xia Yue what a widow was.
The result was that Xia Yue's face became even redder.
"Don't worry about it. If you say you are in hell now, the title of widow is not so outrageous."
It can be seen that Xie Chengtian has been trying very hard to make up for Xia Yue.
But Xia Yue couldn't listen anymore.
She kept hanging on Li Muchan, buried her face in Li Muchan's arms, and didn't want to see anyone at all.
"Ah, a widow is a widow, I can't die, what are you afraid of?"
Li Muhan patted Xia Yue's head gently.
"Let's get down to business, Brother Xie."
Li Muhan sat on a chair, looking at Xie Chengtian behind the desk.
"Are you sure you don't want to calm your little sister down first?"
Xie Chengtian asked as he looked at Xia Yue, who was sitting astride Li Muhan and holding Li Muhan motionlessly.
"Don't worry about it. I'm used to it. Brother Xie, let's not talk about the purpose of this visit. I want to tell you something. Captain Wang and I came across a bus that was attacked. Brother Xie, are you aware of this?"
After hearing what Li Muhan said, Xie Chengtian did not answer immediately, but just sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that under the blessing of the formation spells of my two junior brothers, this passage is still so unstable."
"Xie, brother, what do you mean?"
Li Muhan asked puzzledly.
"Brother Mu Han, tell me the truth. If it was a normal situation, and my two junior brothers escorted you two to the underworld, you should have come directly to my City God Temple instead of being thrown into the Wandering Soul Road."
"In other words, the underworld is indeed abnormal now?"
Xie Chengtian nodded: "Recently, there have been many cases of buses transporting wandering souls being attacked. Brother Mu Han, if I am not mistaken, the one you saw should be one of our soul-binding masters disguised as wandering soul bait. I didn't expect that even they would..."
Having said that, Xie Chengtian clenched his fists, as if it was because of his wrong decision that those colleagues were harmed.
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
Li Muhan asked.
"No need. This is a matter of the underworld. Brother Mu Han, you have your own purpose for coming here. Now let's get back to the point."
After saying that, Xie Chengtian took out a jade pendant, stood up and handed it to Li Muhan.
"What is this?" Li Muhan felt the somewhat cold round jade pendant and was a little confused.
"This is a token from the City God. It can help you avoid the Ten Courts of Judgment. Brother Mu Han, you have heard of the Ten Courts of Judgment in the underworld, right?"
Li Muhan nodded. He knew this common sense.
"If you want to meet the Emperor of Fengdu, you need to pass the trial of the Ten Courts of Hell. With my token, the Ten Courts of Hell will know your purpose."
"Fuck, Brother Xie, you are so generous."
Li Muhan quickly put away the jade pendant.
A strange look flashed across Xie Chengtian's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
He laughed dryly twice: "It's not me, I don't have that ability, it's your master, Director Chang Yue..."
"Chang Ju?"
"Yes, your master Chang Ju is the disciple of Fengdu Emperor, the Seventh Star who has descended to the earth. Although he cannot return to the underworld again, the Ten Kings of Hell will still give him this little face."
Li Muhan suddenly felt his back straighten up.
Although I haven't called Chang Yue Master many times, I didn't expect his face to be so useful and he can still have a good life in the underworld.
"Normally you have to wait seven days before going to trial, but your situation is special. I will write you a letter and have someone take you through the process."
As Xie Chengtian spoke, he picked up a brush, wrote a letter and handed it to Li Muhan.
But just when Li Muhan was about to take the letter, Xie Chengtian suddenly grabbed his wrist, stared into his eyes and said.
"Li Muhan."
Li Muhan was a little stunned when Xie Chengtian suddenly called his name.
"You and I don't know each other, but you are willing to trust me and come here. You don't even have any doubts about my identity, Li Muhan."
Xie Chengtian paused, and then continued: "If I am not Xie Chengtian, but an enemy lurking beside you, what would you do?"
Li Muhan fell silent, but then he still took the letter.
"Since we are here, let's make the best of it. There are quite a few people who want to kill me now. Thank you, brother. If you also want to kill me... even in this hell, I believe there is still a way to bite off a piece of your flesh."
Xia Yue turned her head slightly, and her eyes, like Li Muhan's at this moment, revealed a hint of coldness. Even though their abilities were restricted now, Xie Chengtian still felt a terrible pressure.
"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous." Xie Chengtian let go of Li Muhan's hand.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Brother Xie, please ask someone to take us there."
"As it should be."
After Li Muhan and Xia Yue left, Xie Chengtian returned to the desk.
"Do you really understand what I mean, Li Muhan?"
He circled the dim flame with his slender fingers and then gently crushed it out.
"I wish you a worthwhile trip."
......
After leaving the City God Temple, Xia Yue suddenly remembered something.
She grabbed Li Muhan and said anxiously: "Snacks! Snacks! Haven't burned them for me yet!"
"...Your memory is so good at this time."
Li Muhan muttered, wondering if he could find some way to get away with it.
Just at this moment, a ghost chased out.
"Hey, my two distinguished guests! The City God asked me to give this to you!"
The ghost ran up to the two of them and took out two amulets.
"This is?"
Li Muhan took it and took a look. There was nothing special about the amulet and there was no words written on it.
"This is a soul-soothing charm. When you wear it, you can eat whatever food you want from the underworld. Although you don't need to eat after coming here, the City God said that you are only staying here temporarily, so you should still have the habit of eating. Also, Mr. Xie said that anything you buy in Luofu Mountain will be charged to him."
"Okay! This is good!"
Xia Yue snatched the amulet and put it around her neck.
"Thank the City God for us. He is very thoughtful."
"You two can just take a look around first. In an hour, our people will pick you up and take you to the formalities."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Li Muhan smiled, and then was dragged by Xia Yue to the stall that was selling sugar-coated fruits.
The woman had a gloomy face at first, but when she saw Xia Yue and Li Muhan running over, she quickly knelt on the ground.
"Two Taoists... spare my life, spare my life..."
She thought the two men were here to settle scores with her, and she was so scared that she burst into tears.
"What is this? Oil fruit. I want ten of them."
Xia Yue pulled her up and said.
Because she didn't have that much strength left, Xia Yue had to use some effort to pull the woman up from the ground.
"You two... aren't you here to blame me?"
"Ah, no, we're not that mean, and you didn't do anything wrong."
Li Muhan scratched his head and said, "Give her some sugar-coated fruits. As for the money, Mr. Xie said he would pay for it."
"No, no, no! It is my great honor that you two are willing to come to my place to buy things! How dare I accept money from the City God! But..."
The woman raised her head cautiously, looked at the two men and said, "Just now the ghost messenger said that the two of you have not yet reached the end of your life... If you eat the food here..."
"Don't worry about that. I, we have a pregnancy-protecting charm!"
Xia Yue puffed out her chest and said proudly.
Li Muhan quickly pulled her behind him, then looked at the bewildered woman and explained, "The City God gave us a soul-soothing talisman, saying that if we wear it on our bodies, we can eat the food here."
"Soul-soothing charm, you two are truly distinguished guests among distinguished guests..."
The woman quickly packed up twenty sugar-coated fruits and handed them to Xia Yue.
"My Lords, if you want to eat more, you are welcome to come back anytime."
"Okay, sorry to bother you."
