The courtyard of Yizhuang was very quiet, Uncle Jiu and Xu Ce remained silent, and the atmosphere became very depressed for a time.
This feeling makes Xu Ce very uncomfortable. After being in this world for so long, this is the first time he has this weird feeling. That is, he has no strength. He can obviously fight, but he can't fight. It's very difficult.
Not happy.
Xu Ce adjusted his breathing and tried to calm himself down.
In the final analysis, I am still not strong enough.
But come to think of it, how long does it take for him to practice until he reaches the maximum level? His system is not a 999 at the beginning, so it still takes time to grow.
And if you really want to talk about this matter, you can't blame the underworld. If you really want to put him in the underworld's position, he will probably come to the door directly and negotiate a lot.
Hundreds of ghosts were lost, and the ghosts were deliberately caught in such a bad behavior. If we just let it go, the underworld would lose its face.
If there is a compromise, it is actually not bad to resolve it through negotiation.
"Disciple Xu Ce, why don't you just avoid it? I can handle it by myself."
Uncle Jiu noticed that something was wrong with Xu Ce's state, so he said something.
Of course, Uncle Jiu didn’t think that Xu Ce was scared, but he thought that although Xu Ce was gifted and had a high level of cultivation, he was still a young man after all. If he had been himself twenty years ago, if he had wanted to fight with the underworld
When dealing with ghosts and errands, I guess I have no confidence.
Xu Ce shook his head and said:
"Master, I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous.
By the way, Master, you said that the ones coming to negotiate with us will be the four pairs of ghosts who were previously immobilized by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai with the soul-fixing spell, or will they be their immediate superiors?"
"Are you really okay?"
Uncle Jiu hesitantly confirmed again, and seeing Xu Ce nodding, he continued:
"The soul-fixing talisman cannot trap them for too long. If nothing happens, they should be on their way here. As for their immediate boss...
Well, I guess the first negotiation won't happen.
Of course, if we don’t reach an agreement in the first negotiation, we will definitely come again.”
"Oh, that's it. Let's try to get it done at once."
"Yeah, those four pairs of ghosts, haha..."
Uncle Jiu shook his head as he spoke, and then said:
"I guess I have been working in the underworld for too long, and the underworld has been peaceful for too long, and I have no vigilance at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been dealt with by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
However, if this matter is really reported to the underworld, they will inevitably be charged with malfeasance in their duties. If they manage it well, they may still be able to keep their jobs, but it will also affect their future job promotions. But if they do not manage it well, the ghosts will
I'm afraid I won't be able to do it.
It’s not that easy to be a civil servant in the underworld.”
"Master, what you are saying is that although more than two hundred ghosts have been lost so far, the news has not been sent back to the underworld. Is that what you mean?"
"That's right, so this is also an opportunity for us. It just depends on how we talk about it."
"If that's the case, then things will be much easier to handle."
Xu Ce's eyes narrowed slightly. Uncle Jiu didn't tell him so much before, which made him unsure. But once he said it clearly, things were actually not as difficult as he thought.
Just when Xu Ce was about to ask something else, Uncle Jiu's expression turned serious and he made a silent gesture.
Xu Ce decisively shut up.
At this moment, a black vortex suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the altar, and a dark abyss-like gate like the gate of time and space slowly emerged from the ground, and then the tightly-fitted gate opened with a chill.
The yin energy overflowed from it.
In an instant, the temperature of the entire Yizhuang suddenly dropped, and a layer of ice quickly condensed on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, four pairs of ghosts slowly walked out of the gate.
His face was still white and ash-filled, and he couldn't clearly see the other person's mood or anger.
However, they probably won't be in a good mood.
At this time, Uncle Jiu pointed to the eight seats placed on both sides and said calmly:
"It is a great honor for eight ghost messengers to come to my humble residence. Please take a seat."
While speaking, Uncle Jiu also cast a spell, bringing with it the energy of Yuanyang. The cold air in Yizhuang returned to normal temperature under the influence of the energy of Yuanyang.
Xu Ce looked at it without saying anything, but he silently gave Uncle Jiu a thumbs up in his heart. He is worthy of being an old Jianghu. Even if he is clearly on the wrong side, he can still not be humble when facing people from the underworld.
Don't say anything.
These things are actually what Xu Ce lacks and must learn.
Gui Cha stared at Uncle Jiu for a while, snorted coldly, and then sat down on the chairs.
One of the black and white pairs asked in unison:
"Lin Fengjiao, do you know what crime you have committed!"
Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of displeasure on his face, and then said calmly:
"Oh? I, Lin, have committed a crime? Why don't I know? You might as well tell me!"
Uncle Jiu's words were not intentional pretense. He had indeed committed no crime. If anything, it was Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai who did the wrong thing. Although he was the master of the two of them, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were adults after all.
The shit basin is not so random!
"Lin Fengjiao! You still dare to quibble, do you really think that my underworld is easy to deceive? Do you know what the consequences will be if hundreds of ghosts escape!
Whether it’s the earth or the underworld, can you afford the trouble caused by these hundreds of ghosts?”
Another pair of Black and White said in an angry cold voice.
Uncle Jiu's face was still very calm, without any disturbance at all, and he said with the same calmness:
"Oh, so that's what I'm talking about, but I'm afraid you may have misunderstood it. If this matter has anything to do with Lin, it's only the most minor responsibility. At most, he will be called a prisoner.
It’s a crime of bad deeds.”
Uncle Jiu paused immediately, as if thinking, and then continued:
"However, everyone, you are eight people, eight ghosts, and you have been given a soul-fixing charm by two young Taoist priests who have just reached the middle stage of Qi refining, but you have no room for resistance at all.
Everyone, you think, if the underworld really wants to pursue it, should it pursue me as a master who mismanages his disciples, or should it pursue you for your dereliction of duty?
For Pindao, it was too late. The worst he could do was hand over the two bastards who caused the trouble. Pindao would not only be able to evade the relationship, but also win the favor of the underworld.
But everyone, what do you think will be the consequences once things develop as Pindao said?"
Uncle Jiu's words were neither hasty nor slow, very indifferent, but every word was like a heavy hammer, every word was heartbreaking.
These words are exactly what these eight ghosts are most worried about!
