What everyone didn't expect was that what the Emperor and the Empress went to take away turned out to be the job descriptions and abilities of the members of eight of the ten Yin tribes.
In addition, Kong Sang had already given up the power of being a watchman before the war.
Therefore, after being echoed by this ray of light, the ten parts of the yin will no longer exist from now on.
The only person not shrouded in light is the executioner!
But thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yuecheng's strength seems to have little to do with the executioner.
"Did you take away the power of the ten parts of the Yin?" Zhao Xiaocheng looked behind him.
The Five Great Immortals were still there, which made him slightly relieved.
As long as the Immortal family is safe, even if you let yourself become an ordinary person, it won't be a big deal.
On the side, the same goes for Qian Pianpian.
After seeing that the four contracted ghosts were safe and that he had only lost the power of a coffin buryer, Qian Pianpian had no nostalgia.
Once upon a time, everyone valued the inheritance of the ten branches of Yin more than anything else, and valued their own strength more than anything else.
But now, everyone smiled with relief.
I am not afraid of paying a price, but I am afraid that I cannot afford the price that the Emperor, Queen, and Empress wants!
…
In the haze, it seems to be in the spiritual world.
Kong Sang slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw was water flowing as far as the eye could see, and countless souls.
He was stunned for a moment, then thought that he had become one with the other side.
"Yes...I'm dead."
"I am now on the other side..."
"It seems that everyone should be alive..."
Thinking of this, Kong Sang laughed.
As long as everyone is safe, it's worth it.
It’s just...the water on the other side is so cold...
There are countless souls in all directions.
However, these souls no longer have their own consciousness.
They will perish in the other shore, those without karma will be reincarnated, and those with karma will be sent to the Nine Springs to suffer.
Kong Sang smiled.
That's good...
Suddenly, in a burst of warm light, Kong Sang vaguely heard some sounds.
"Is it...Dachengzi?"
"And... everyone?"
In the midst of the murmur, three hands suddenly touched Kong Sang.
Kong Sang was startled, then turned around and saw that it was Chen Tao, Zhang Peng and Yan Wei.
"Kong Sang..." The three of them showed a smile of farewell.
Kong Sang said:
"No, why didn't you come back alive?"
"I obviously..."
"Kong Sang..." Zhang Peng interrupted Kong Sang: "I know that with your ability, even if our bodies have been damaged, you can still save us from the other side."
"But...you have already given a lot."
"The cycle of life and death is our destiny."
Chen Tao nodded: "Listen, people outside are calling you, and they don't want you to die."
"You should live well."
"You have given everything, but... in this world, wouldn't it be unfair if you were the only one to suffer in the end?"
Yan Wei also smiled and said:
"Kong Sang, it's a pity that we can't help you in the subsequent battle."
"Now, it's the only thing we can do."
Kong Sang stubbornly shook his head:
"Even if my soul leaves the other side, the trauma I receive is inevitable."
"Even if I return to my physical body, I might not be able to wake up."
Yan Wei said:
"Why be so pessimistic?"
"You have done so many things. Now that the time has come, you should give yourself a try."
With that said, Chen Tao, Yan Wei, and Zhang Peng all lifted up Kong Sang's body.
There was a hint of farewell in their smiles:
"It's time for you to leave!"
"Don't worry, the other side... we will protect you."
"Just enjoy your life..."
"Believe them, one day you will wake up from your own body..."
With a gentle push from the three of them, Kongsang's soul left the spiritual world on the other side uncontrollably.
Then... everything fell into darkness.
…
In reality, everyone was excited as they watched Kong Sang's soul enter their bodies little by little.
But...that's all.
Kong Sang did not wake up.
Zhao Yuecheng quickly looked at Gong Xin: "What's going on?"
Although he no longer has the ability to perform surgery, Gong Xin's own medical skills are still there.
He quickly stepped forward and after carefully inspecting it, his face didn't look good.
"Kong Sang... Although Kong Sang's soul and body are integrated, the body has been away from the soul for so long that..."
"As a result, Kong Sang's soul may not be able to wake up in a short time."
"What do you mean by being unable to wake up!" Zhao Yuecheng stood up excitedly and looked at Gong Xin angrily: "Are you saying that Kong Sang will become a vegetable?!"
Gong Xin shook his head:
"No. It's just that his soul needs to adapt to his body again."
"After he fully adapts, he will wake up naturally."
"However... the time of this fusion cannot be estimated. It may be an hour, or it may be more than ten years."
"Moreover, under this situation, Kongsang will inevitably attract many monsters and monsters that need bodies."
"So... in the future, this Immortal Palace may not be safe!"
At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
More than ten years...
But soon, Zhao Yuecheng said:
"It doesn't matter!"
"I'll guard him!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Yuecheng with some astonishment.
Zhao Yuecheng took a deep breath:
"I still have Gonpo and the strength of an executioner!"
"My life was given by him!"
"Anyway, I don't need to eat, drink, or sleep."
"No demons or ghosts should get close to Kong Sang!"
"What's more, there are so many longevity flowers here! The power of the longevity flowers will definitely help him resurrect as soon as possible!"
As he said that, Zhao Yuecheng looked at everyone, the sadness on his face had been replaced by perseverance:
"I'll stay here."
"You all leave!"
"You still have a lot of things to do and a lot to worry about, don't you?"
"I'm different!"
"I'm all alone!"
"I once swore that I would protect Kongsang in this life!"
"So...this is my mission!"
Everyone looked at each other and finally showed a weak, bitter smile.
…
Five years later:
…
Inside the Beijing Oddity Investigation Bureau:
"Zhengye, don't work overtime. Director Liang Sen asked you to pay more attention to rest."
In the office building, He Meng smiled and patted Liu Zhengye on the shoulder, but saw Liu Zhengye smirking at the photo.
He Meng smiled hoarsely: "My sister-in-law is pregnant now. Where is the name of the child? Have you thought about it?"
Liu Zhengye scratched his head and said with a smile: "Not yet, we will decide after the birth!"
As he spoke, Liu Zhengye joked: "Deputy Director He Meng, you'd better stop teasing me and go make your report quickly!"
He Meng rolled his eyes and drank the coffee in one gulp.
…
Shangjing antique store:
"Welcome." Facing the visiting guests, Qian Pianpian, wearing a cheongsam, walked out with a smile: "What do you want to see, sir?"
The other party seemed to be buying antiques for the first time and was a little confused.
He subconsciously looked at the antique shop, where there were four clerks of different ages.
An old man, a middle-aged man, a young man and a... child who looks a bit sinister?
He shuddered and waved his hand: "I... I'll just take a look."
Looking at the guests leaving in a hurry, Qian Pianpian looked helpless and took out a cigarette skillfully: "I told you, the four of you, should you restrain your breath. Are you afraid that others won't know that you are ghosts?"
…
Inside the Shangjing Welfare Institute:
"Mom...I'm hungry!"
A cute little boy ran up to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan showed a doting smile, picked up a bun, and handed it to the little boy:
"Son, be good. Mom is still a little busy. Dinner will be served later."
…
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shangjing Hospital:
Yang Yu and Xiao Lin's mother stood nervously at the door of the operating room.
Yang Yu was nervous and sweating profusely.
Soon, the hospital bed was rolled out.
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
The doctor smiled and said: "Mr. Yang Yu, congratulations, they are twins! Mother and child are safe!"
…
Shangjing No. 1 Junior High School:
After leaving the examination room, Liu Xinya and her parents quickly looked at Wang Youchao:
"Xiaochao, how was the exam?"
Wang Youchao showed a helpless smile: "I guess... I did well in the exam."
"Actually, I really don't want to take the exam!"
"It's the same as working at the Oddity Investigation Bureau."
…
Shenyang, Northeast China.
Zhao Xiaocheng, the old man, was sitting in front of the hall:
"I'm telling you, don't calculate your destiny too often. As the saying goes, your destiny becomes thinner the more you calculate it, you know?"
After seeing off the guests, Wong Tai Sin was drinking tea leisurely:
"You are really...the most relaxed charlatan in the world!"
Zhao Xiaocheng looked at the other four immortals who were dozing with a smile:
"There is no way, I don't have the ability to see things now, I can only leave it to you!"
…
Shantang Street, Gusu:
"Hey, Boss Chen is here, hurry up, please come inside!"
Hu Wenjun gently waved his skillfully embroidered sunflower fan, greeted the guests coming and going, and looked at the small bridge and flowing water in front of him from time to time.
…
Suzhou Mysterious Investigation Bureau Branch:
Gong Xin guided several forensic doctors with a serious look:
"I've told you that you must treat corpses seriously and not with a playful smile!"
"Every detail on the body is the detail he wants to tell us, do you understand?!"
…
In the ancient city of Yunnan:
"Boss, this is a B&B, right?"
“Excuse me, what’s the price?”
Jiang Xuechan walked out of the counter with a smile:
“Our room price is very reasonable, only 300 yuan a night.”
“And it faces the lake, so the scenery is very good!”
On the other side, Wang Lei was wiping the dining table and inviting customers to sit down.
On their faces, there were many smiles that had passed through the years.
…
Yu Heng, who was transferred to the branch of the Oddity Investigation Bureau outside Beijing, was still sorting out complex information in the archives as always.
He can always do these things in such detail that no one can find any problems.
Suddenly, the phone rang:
"Hello? Captain?"
"Hmm? Over there in the cell?"
"Okay, I understand, I'll contact Captain Cai."
…
In Wuzhen, Liu Guinian opened a teahouse in his old house and sat there quietly every day.
When guests come, they are also provided with high-quality and cheap tea and snacks.
On the stage, Yun He was dressed in costume and singing familiar operas, but with an ancient charm that was far beyond ordinary people. Every frown and smile attracted applause from the audience.
…
In an inexplicable mountain range, Di Rong looked at the collected fruits:
"Tsk tsk. Since five years ago, the energy of life in this world has become stronger and stronger."
"This kind of fruit is not commonly seen in the first place."
"It's good for making wine."
On the side, Di Chi snorted coldly:
"You have lost to me several times!"
"Why, you still haven't given up? I told you that my method is the right one!"
Di Rong was extremely angry and laughed back: "Go away, my longevity wine formula is definitely the most authentic!"
…
Five years is enough to change a lot.
The layout of Kyushu has also undergone great changes after Jedi Tiantong.
It can't be said that the years are peaceful, because things about strange forces and chaos are getting more and more rampant.
Even...the red moon caused by the white lake and hollow mulberry trees has replaced the sun and the moon.
However, everyone is working hard to manage their lives better.
On the grassland of Lhasa, outside the Fifth Palace of Immortality, Zhao Yuecheng wielded the wolf-tooth knife and chopped the last evil ghost into pieces.
"snort!"
"With this little strength, I dare to come here to make trouble!"
Zhao Yuecheng wiped the blood on his face and put away the mace knife.
Returning to the palace, looking at Kong Sang who was still sleeping in the sarcophagus, Zhao Yuecheng took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the dust on Kong Sang's face.
"Kongsang, do you know?"
"Everyone... now has his own life, and they are all living well..."
Five years of changes have made Zhao Yuecheng's temperament more restrained.
At this moment, if he doesn't take action, he looks like an elegant man.
Because of his heroic spirit status, Zhao Yuecheng did not feel any older.
The empty mulberry inside the sarcophagus also looks the same as it did five years ago.
Seeing that Kong Sang still didn't respond, Zhao Yuecheng showed a gentle smile:
"In three days... it's time for everyone to get together."
"They come to the palace to see you every year."
"There were also many people who came here because of my reputation, but I sent them away."
"I know you don't like the excitement."
"And those gods seem to have a chance to be resurrected again, but... it will also take a long time..."
"Zhang Lin, Su Kailun and others have also been here, and even Gushan Juncang has been here."
"I heard that they have decided to re-form a completely different Weird Tales Association in Europe."
"Perhaps, back then, Hollow Mulberry had already anticipated that he might fail."
"Kong Sang... you should wake up quickly and don't worry us anymore."
Saying that, Zhao Yuecheng sat aside.
Gonbu lay lying in the sea of immortal flowers, shaking his head slightly.
Zhao Yuecheng took over Zhamunie who had put it aside.
Over the years, he also learned traditional Tibetan musical instruments.
He leaned in front of the sarcophagus, and the melodious music of the piano echoed throughout the palace of longevity.
In the song, there is a hint of indifference, a hint of the tranquility of time, but also a hint of... silent sadness.
Suddenly, the fingers inside the sarcophagus moved slightly.
After a moment, a slight murmur sounded:
"Da...cheng...zi..."
In an instant, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
Zhao Yuecheng trembled all over and looked into the sarcophagus in disbelief.
His body began to tremble, and tears continued to drip into the sarcophagus.
Finally, Zhao Yuecheng showed a smile that was filled with tears of joy:
"Kong Sang..."
"Welcome... back!"
Final words:
This book was written by Tongshan when he was most helpless.
At that time, the city had just experienced a large-scale lockdown due to the epidemic, jobs were gone, new jobs could not be found, and I was very anxious.
Under such pressure, Tongshan started writing about the Internet again.
Tongshan is a seasoned fan. He has written several fantasy books on a certain website before.
However, in the end, there was only one book that was truly completed.
Moreover, the results at that time were far from what they are now.
Before this, although Tongshan liked folk religions, he never thought that one day he would write supernatural stories.
It wasn't until that time that I happened to watch the web drama Soul Ferry and I seemed to have found my own train of thought.
In the initial concept, I just wanted to write a story without a main line.
Each unit has its own protagonist and its own emotions.
The protagonist is a bystander and a recorder.
However, as the results began to improve, and with the suggestions of readers and editors, the villain role was created.
This book has actually been criticized a lot.
For example, the plot is quite sadistic, and the protagonist is somewhat like a virgin.
However...Tongshan is very satisfied with this work.
Everyone has different opinions on what they see and the choices they make in life.
Values will also undergo completely different changes under specific times and circumstances.
Be it the characters or the plot, there needs to be a gradual transformation process.
It's just that the book is very long, so most people haven't seen the transformation part later.
In the beginning, this book was actually just about writing about The Watcher, and then through the same world view, the other ten novels were written into different works.
However, as the plot progressed and the characters and outline changed, Tongshan also made several adjustments.
At its peak, this book also ranked first on the list.
When I was lonely, just like now, the popularity of this book has not even been a quarter of its original value.
Fortunately, Tongshan finally persisted to the end.
The first one is "".
The second book is "Chang'an Zhenhun Division" written under the pseudonym Huanye Youyu.
It can be said that the two books are stories that take place on different timelines in the same worldview.
Well, thank you all again for your support and companionship.
In the days before the end of the month, Tongshan will update some extras.
These extra contents were originally planned to be written by Tongshan as part of the unit story, and were intended to enrich the characters of the villain organization Ghost Story Association.
Only due to time and space requirements, the independent unit plot of the Kaidan Association had to be deleted.
