What kind of Journey to the West is this?

"First, the Book of Life and Death. Luo Sushang, native place **, teacher... Returned to the immortal realm of the Dan, originally had a lifespan of seventy-five years, but now all seven orifices have been damaged. Now, she has nine days left."

"Then there are the files from the Express Reporting Department. On August 23rd, six souls were sought for life. Three died of old age, and two died of illness... Four in Chang'an Fang during the day, and two in Luo'an Fang during the day..."

"...August 25th...a total of three volumes, covering a total of five days. There is no mention of Liuxiangfang, where the Xiong family pharmacy is located, nor is there any mention of Luo Sushang's name."

"Finally, here are the files from the Patrol Department. On August 23rd, the cockcrow brought the souls of the deceased to Chang'anfang and Luo'anfang, but the souls returned after they settled down... During these five days, the day and night patrols did not detect any souls being brought to Liuxiangfang."

Judge Wen slowly put down the file.

The City God Palace Lord smiled and said, "Master, you have heard it too. This Luo Sushang really has nothing to do with my City God Palace."

Both files mentioned that Liuxiangfang had never been used to seduce dead people.

But what is the thing that Doctor Xiong is talking about that is hooking the dead?

The most important thing is, if what Wen Pan said is true, then where did Luo Sushang's soul go?

The two pieces of evidence corroborated each other, and Yan Xia frowned.

Yanxia's little head began to brainstorm, and suddenly she realized something.

Not right.

Something is quite wrong.

She said, "May I look in the Book of Life and Death?"

"Of course, please."

The two judges and the City God didn't understand what Yan Xia was doing, but they still handed over the Book of Life and Death.

After all, he has a big boss behind him, so he has to be served well.

Yanxia looked for the names of those who had died in the past five days in the Book of Life and Death one by one.

The sound of turning pages was very noisy.

Checked completed.

Five days, dozens of people, but Luo Suchang's name was not on the list.

A nameless anger suddenly rose.

She raised her head sharply and asked, "Judge, you just said that on the 23rd we would take the dead body and set out at cockcrow, and the body would return when it was still?"

Wen Pan was stunned for a moment and said, "Indeed."

Yan Xia said coldly: "Have you been seducing a dead person's soul for a whole day?"

Wen Pan's breath hitched as he explained, "The Day and Night Gods take turns on duty, and they don't know what happens when each is on duty. Perhaps someone died while the Day God was on duty, and someone came to retrieve the dead body. Then, when the Night God was on duty, someone else died."

The City God was also shocked.

boom!

The gavel slammed down on the table, and Yan Xia angrily said, "On the 23rd, all six people died during the day, and the latest one died at sunset at dusk! You guys are just eating for free, and you've been doing this for so long that you've been doing it for so long at night?"

"this......"

The City God and others were speechless.

"What the hell!"

"Such a huge loophole, yet a City God, two judges, eight officials, and a bunch of ghosts and gods didn't even notice it. They're still here, complacent, thinking they've pushed the disaster aside!"

"A scoundrel who only works for a living and does nothing!"

The Cangzhou Lion Has No Buddha Nature: Chapter 44 [In the blink of an eye, the gray dog turns into white cloud]

"Meat eaters are vulgar!"

Yanxia slammed the gavel angrily.

When she first saw the green-faced, long-tongued ghost messenger, she should have been able to see the situation in the City God's Mansion.

From top to bottom, it's full of deadbeats and good-for-nothings! It's rotten!

The City God said in panic, "Master! This must be some heretic pretending to be a dead person, sneaking past the day and night wandering gods and taking away Luo Suchang's soul."

He is really scared now.

If he had hooked up with the wrong person, it would have been fine. As long as he admitted his mistake in time and let Luo Suchang come back to life, he would at most receive a warning, and he might even be given a hard time and have no hope of promotion.

But that's all he could do. After all, whether it was Zhongli Quan or Manjushri Bodhisattva, even if they had great magical powers and many connections, Buddhism was Buddhism and Taoism was Taoism. After all, they were not in the same system as him, so he couldn't control them too much. In addition, Luo Sushang had indeed come back to life, so she wouldn't make things too difficult for him.

But now the nature of things has changed.

Luo Sushang's soul was indeed seduced away, and it was by an outsider, right under his watchful eyes!

A charge of dereliction of duty was brought down, and the gods in heaven added insult to injury...

"nonsense!"

Yan Xia said angrily, "Do you need to say this again? Call your wandering gods and question them!"

"Yes, yes! I obey your orders."

The City God quickly retreated and hurriedly called the day and night parade gods from the Patrol Department.

The two parade gods arrived, still looking confused.

The City God cursed angrily, "Your crime has been exposed!"

The two wandering gods laughed and said, "God, please don't lie to us. What could possibly happen to us?"

"Ho! Ho! Go in by yourselves!"

The City God was immediately furious and drove the two wandering gods to Yanxia.

Yan Xia watched the three ghosts come in and said angrily, "Master City God, come and ask them yourself!"

The City God shuddered and cursed, "You two beasts! August 23rd is the day for people to die. Where did you see someone being killed?"

Sun Wandering God was bewildered and said, "Lord God, how should I know this? I'm on duty."

After saying that, he looked at Night Wanderer.

The Night Wanderer was covered in cold sweat and said cautiously, "I was patrolling the city as usual that night..."

The City God asked, "And then?"

The Night Wanderer stopped talking.

How could he have toured the city? He hasn't toured for even a few nights this year.

Such a small matter can be handled by handing it over to my subordinates.

Unfortunately, the ghosts also think so...

Yan Xia had already seen that the Cangzhou City God's Mansion was rotten to the core and could not be trusted at all.

She said coldly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. City God, please send me back to the living."

The City God was terrified, thinking she was going to tell the Heavenly Emperor about this. He immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to devote my whole life to tracking down the culprit for you, the Immortal!"

boom!

The City God only felt a huge force pressing down on him, breaking the spine on his back, and suddenly exhaled a breath of evil energy.

The two bronze maces were both made of copper from Shoushan and were extremely strong.

And at that time, it was also touched by the aura of King Yu, who was the emperor of mankind, the king of the world, and the master of the country, and had the ability to whip gods and beat ghosts.

Yan Xia raised her bronze mace and said indifferently, "Send me back to the mortal realm. Otherwise, let's kill each other right here."

The City God was horrified and dared not stay any longer.

.............

The time it takes to open and close your eyes.

Cangzhou Prefecture, City God Temple.

Yanxia exhaled a breath of fresh air.

She turned around and saw that the incense and candles in the corner had burned out.

When she came out, she saw Xue Shier's eager eyes.

"Hehe, how's it going, Taoist priest? Have you claimed back your master's soul?"

His tone was as arrogant as ever.

"I have failed to live up to Xue Shi'er's expectations."

Xue Shier's face froze.

She whispered, "No?"

Yan Xia looked at Xue Shi'er's worried expression and couldn't help but smile when she remembered that she was jealous of her busty master before.

"I will. But first, let's go to the pharmacy. I have something to do with Doctor Xiong."

Xue Shi'er breathed a sigh of relief and said easily, "Then I'll go walk around and find a good place to build a temple!"

"Taoist, you promised to build a temple for me!"

Yan Xia nodded, "Of course it's agreed. Xue Shi'er, just wait for me to come back."

Afterwards, Yan Xia looked at Bai Zhu, who had been silent the entire time, and said lightly, "Sister Bai Shu, please accompany Xue Shi'er for a good stroll. This is my good friend!"

Bai Zhu smiled slightly.

"I will make sure the Snow Lion has fun."

After saying that, Bai Zhu looked at the girl and said softly, "Have a safe trip."

Yan Xia was about to leave, but when she heard these words, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She could only recall a few passages from the Heart Sutra.

The mind is free from worries. Because there are no worries, there is no fear, and one is far away from upside-down dreams and ultimately attains Nirvana.

The girl sighed and walked towards the Xiong's Pharmacy.

The pharmacy is in the east of the city, some distance away.

Yan Xia had some thoughts in her mind and recited the Tianxin Sutra several times, but she still couldn't calm down.

If one has worries in his heart, obstacles will arise.

Obstacles are something that cannot be solved by others, just like the Snow Lion is trapped in an obstruction, which cannot be suppressed by external forces.

The Buddhist scriptures talk about saving all sentient beings, but this has never been true. Even the monks who read the scriptures cannot save themselves. This shows that spiritual practice is one's own business.

Arriving at the pharmacy, Yan Xia went straight to Doctor Xiong as soon as she entered.

Doctor Xiong was grinding pearls using the water-grinding method. I don't know what kind of medicine he was going to make.

Hearing the noise, Doctor Xiong sighed and said, "You are here after all."

An Yanxia: “…”

"Is it about that Huandan monk?" Doctor Xiong said regretfully, "I'm not an immortal with great skills. If it's about resurrecting the dead or turning flesh and bones into flesh, I might be able to help you. But if it's about chasing souls and taking away spirits, I can't do anything."

"As the saying goes: If you receive money from others, you can help them avoid disasters. I can't help you, so let's forget about the consultation fee."

Yan Xia shook her head and said, "It's not about this."

After saying that, Yan Xia took out the box containing the six-leafed gentian and the red gentian and said, "Doctor, I want you to make an elixir for me."

Doctor Xiong was slightly stunned.

"That lady's situation is beyond redemption, so why bother?"

"Just refine the medicine."

Doctor Xiong shook his head helplessly, took the two magical herbs, and said, "I can refine a packet of medicinal powder for you, but your soul has already dispersed. Even if you save your body, it will be nothing more than a walking corpse."

Yan Xia's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "I have my own way to bring her back to life."

Doctor Xiong was speechless.

But when he saw the girl's resolute look, he understood something and said with a wry smile, "Girl, is this worth it?"

Yanxia just smiled.
