The man is already dead, and there is no point in pursuing him now.
There is one thing that makes Yu Sheng very curious.
He and Hong Chiyan looked at each other, leaned forward and asked Wu Chang, "How did those ghosts turn into shadows and kill people?"
Hong Chiyan was nodding along, but was stunned when he heard this, and asked what the Book of Life and Death was?
"An ancient magic is called shadow binding." Impermanence said, if these ghosts are bound in the shadow, they will not be able to see the sun."
"Shadowbind?!"
"Why, shopkeeper Yu has heard of it?" Wu asked in surprise with an expression not seen in Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng felt vaguely that something was wrong, and couldn't remember it for a while. He simply shook his head and concealed the fact that he knew about the Shadow Binding Technique.
Under Hong Chiyan's expectation, Yu Sheng asked again: "What is the Book of Life and Death?"
However, at this time, I already had the answer in my mind for the rest of my life, which was nothing more than the book of life and death that I often heard in my previous life.
Sure enough, Impermanence said: "It determines life and death, and determines the next life based on good and evil. The life of any person, demon or even god is recorded above. It is my king's magical weapon to control reincarnation."
"Determining life and death?" Wu Chang was a little confused.
"If you cannot understand the Tao and seek immortality, and cannot transcend reincarnation, your lifespan will be determined when you are born. When your life is deleted from the book of life and death, you will die when you die." Impermanence said.
"Hiss", Hong Chiyan took a breath of air, "Why did you lose such an important thing?"
He has signed a contract now. If his name is mentioned, he will be finished.
Wu Chang smiled bitterly: "This matter can be traced back to more than ten years ago, when the two moons merged into one, and the stars changed..."
On that day, Bing Yi, the Lord of River Gods in the world, rode two dragons and jumped out of the Congji Abyss, which was three hundred feet deep in the North Underworld.
It was on this day that the moonlight appeared for the first time in Youdu, and then the entire northern wasteland shook.
"In Youdu, when you walk here every day, you sink into the ground. The Yin Qi gathers, and everything is dark. Seeing the moonlight is simply a miracle." Wuchang said, the people in Youdu City were already in panic, and there was another underground situation.
The mountain was shaken and turned into a complete mess. The book of life and death was lost on that day.
"Later, we searched for the Book of Life and Death for more than ten years, but there was no trace. Until last year, news about the Book of Life and Death came from Zhonghuang."
"Have you found it?" Yu Sheng asked curiously.
Impermanence shook his head.
Now I am more interested in the rest of my life. This is a treasure. I will definitely make a lot of money if I get it.
He asked enthusiastically: "In whose hands?"
Wu Chang looked at Yu Sheng's ready-to-move expression and slowly shook his head.
"What a pity," Yu Sheng said. If he knew who had it, he would be ready to snatch it away.
Having said that, Yu Sheng looked at Wu Chang and said, "Your king is planning to build a place specifically to take care of ghosts after death."
Wu Chang nodded, "It can be said that it can also lead people to be good."
This coincided with what Yu Sheng was doing, so Yu Sheng asked him: "Tell me, what deal are you going to make with me?"
"Water ghost." Wu Chang spit out two words.
For the rest of my life, it suddenly dawned on me that throughout the ages, countless people have fallen into the water and died, but these ghosts cannot enter reincarnation.
This was naturally the first thing that King Beihuang had to do when he set out to build the Ghost Mansion.
This is a good thing, and if you do it, you will definitely get a lot of merit points.
But for the rest of my life, I am not a good person, but a businessman who has to get the maximum benefit for myself.
"There are too many water ghosts. What do you, the king, plan to exchange for them?" Yu Sheng took a sip of wine carelessly.
Wu Chang has been observing Yu Sheng: "I can tell you the whereabouts of the old man from Tiandao who was born with the soul seal of Tiandao with you."
For the rest of my life, I was a little excited. At the same time, I was being stared at by the old man Tiandao and Zhu Yin in the dark. He was really like a light on his back and a fishnet on his throat...
"The whereabouts of old man Tiandao are not worth so many water ghosts." Yu Sheng said.
"It's useless for you to keep these water ghosts, why not let them go to reincarnation. It would be a good deed." Impermanence's tone fluctuated a little.
Yu Sheng waved his hand, "You can't say that. We are doing a good deed by keeping water ghosts in the Eastern Wasteland. Water ghosts cannot reincarnate, and they are meant to remind people not to get close to big rivers, and not to commit suicide by drowning. With such a warning, I don't know how young people are.
How many people have died due to water.”
Wu Chang felt that Yu Sheng was just quibbling, "But the water ghost's search for a substitute has also led to many more water ghosts in the world."
"No, no", Yu Sheng shook his head, "The water ghost asks for a substitute, but the latter replaces the former. There are no multiple water ghosts."
"On the contrary, those extra water ghosts happened to be people who ignored the warning and fell into the water and died." Yu Sheng blinked innocently.
"You..." Wuchang started, but he didn't know how to continue.
He finally discovered that Yu Sheng's mouth in front of him was more powerful than King Donghuang's mirror, and he suddenly turned black into white.
Hong Chiyan also looked at Yu Sheng with admiration. He discovered that when it comes to money, Yu Sheng's thinking is really fast.
"So," Yu Sheng leaned back in his chair, "a Tiandao old man is not worth it at all, not to mention he is injured."
Wuchang specializes in ghost work and has little experience in business, so he easily showed his timidity, "Then what else do you want?"
Yu Sheng was stunned. This really stumped him. It seemed that these ghosts couldn't squeeze anything out of them.
Seeing Yu Sheng's hesitation, Wu Chang was deeply afraid that Yu Sheng would refuse, so he could only make up his mind: "I have another piece of news that Shopkeeper Yu might also want to know."
Yu Sheng looked at him: "Tell me, what's the news?"
"This is news that can help King Donghuang get out of his current predicament." Wuchang said.
This news was originally a trump card given to him by the King of Northern Wilderness, and he could not play it out unless absolutely necessary.
But Yu Sheng's hesitation just now made Wu Chang mistakenly think that Yu Sheng was no longer interested in trading.
Upon hearing the news, Yu Sheng sat up straight and said, "Say, say."
Wu Chang thought that the king was right, so he asked Yu Sheng: "Does Shopkeeper Yu agree to this deal?"
"Of course." Yu Sheng nodded.
It is useless to leave some water ghosts in the Eastern Wilderness. Since the King of the Northern Wilderness wants to cancel the previous agreement, he can still get a lot of merit points by canceling it.
"Okay." Wu Chang raised his head and said, "Heaven witnesses that if we violate our agreement, heaven will strike with five thunders and we will never have any heirs."
Yu Sheng looked at him, "So cruel?"
Wuchang said tactfully: "Shopkeeper Yu, you also know that your mother's reputation is not very high among the Four Desolate Kings."
"Let's do it." Yu Sheng had no choice but to swear.
"After I leave later, I will contact my mother and tell her that the original bet is invalid," Yu Sheng said.
The bet made by the two desolate kings is not a child's play, nor can it be canceled with a single word in the rest of one's life.
But as Yu Sheng is the son of the King of Donghuang, if he swears a solemn oath and promises to complete this matter, the former King of Donghuang will not be stubborn in his opinion.
Wu Chang was relieved and said: "The first news is that in fact, the old man Tiandao is no longer able to protect himself."
"Seriously?" Yu Sheng looked at him, and he thought the old man was dormant.
"Really, among the three souls of heaven, he is the earth soul, also known as the ghost soul. He is also related to reincarnation and has cooperated with my king."
Wuchang Yu Sheng glared and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, since he set off a tide of mummies in the Southern Wilderness, leaving souls trapped in the corpses and unable to reincarnate until death, my king has turned against him."
It is possible that so many mummies in Yihuang cannot be reincarnated, which is equivalent to weakening the ability of the King of Beihuang.
"Continue", Yu Sheng motioned for him to continue.
"When he was confronting you, he was secretly injured by the Yang Soul of Heaven, that is, the Heavenly Soul, the Emperor worshiped by the Ten Witches of Lingshan."
"I know this too, but you are telling me something I don't know." Yu Sheng said.
"He abandoned his body and fled to the Southern Wilderness. He asked Master Lu from Carpenter City to build a body for him, but it was a pity..."
Wu Chang let out a jeering laugh: "The Emperor of Heaven has already set his sights on him."
