Chapter 194: The Soul-Catching Strokes of the King of Hell
Cui Jue glanced at the little ghost and pursed his lips: "Of course, this little ghost has a clean soul. After drinking a bowl of Meng Po soup, he can enter the six reincarnations."
A three-year-old child cannot even tell right from wrong, let alone good and evil, let alone do anything evil.
The child's soul has not been overly contaminated, but he has been wandering outside for all these years and has been somewhat contaminated by the aura of evil spirits outside. It will be fine if he washes it with the water of the Forgotten River.
"How long will it take?" Shen Xia Xia was a little worried about the time issue. Time was already very tight and she only had a few days left before six months.
"This is quick. Meng Po can now take it to Naihe Bridge to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, and then wash it in the Yellow River water, and then it will be able to enter the reincarnation channel. If time is fast, it can be completed in one day in human time."
Cui Jue urged Shen Xia Xia, "Go back quickly. I'll let Meng Po take it away now. The mother cannot see the reincarnation process of the fetus, otherwise the mother and child will conflict, and there will be endless troubles."
Shen Xia Xia laughed awkwardly: "Who said I want to stay here and watch the six reincarnations? Can't I just play here? What? You don't welcome me?"
Cui Jue rubbed his brow with a headache: "My aunt, what is there to play in my house?"
Shen Xiaxia smiled playfully: "Who said there is no more? Lu Mingan was quite interesting not long ago. Can't I catch up with my father-in-law?"
Cui Jue had no way to deal with this dog-skin plaster, and he howled to the sky: "I have already said that he is not Lu Mingan, he just looks like him. If you can't make it, you can go and ask him. If he is not, you should go back obediently! Recently, many ferrymen have had problems, and you are on vacation. I have a lot of things to do and I don't have time to entertain you."
"I have to go and deal with the fetal spirit for you." Cui Jue urged her to leave again.
If Shen Xia Xia asked Lu Mingan directly, he would definitely not admit it. Although she and Lu Mingan had little contact, she could tell from his reaction and words just now that he was not a simple person.
He never showed his emotions, and was calm and composed. Even if Shen Xia Xia asked him about it, it would be like hitting cotton with a fist, and there would be no substantial result.
There is a long way to go, and she has plenty of time to spend with him.
It would be better to take this opportunity to make some money from Cui Jue.
Shen Xia Xia's eyes rolled around: "It's not impossible for me to leave, but..."
"But what?" Cui Jue couldn't wait to send this plague god away. Every time he came, something bad happened.
"But you also know that I'm pregnant now, which has seriously affected my body's spiritual energy. In addition, my mysterious magic tools have been almost worn out in my previous work of ferrying souls. This is also considered work-related loss, so I have to reimburse them no matter how high or low it is."
Oh, you come to him to ask for something again.
Cui Jue bit his teeth so hard that they were about to break: "What do you want now? Dog Xia Xia!"
"I want a bundle of Yama talismans, a bottle of Yaochi holy water, an ancient white jade gold lock, and..."
"Enough, enough, stop talking." Cui Jue covered his ears in annoyance: "Are you begging for alms here? Or are you making a wish?"
Shen Xia Xia blinked and sat down on Cui Jue's stool: "Then I will stay here. After all, there are too many people outside who want to beat the childishness in my belly. There is no place safer than here. No matter how rude and powerful the evil ghost is, it dare not come to Judge Cui to act recklessly."
"I'll chat with my father-in-law by the way."
"You!" Cui Jue stretched out a finger with blood dripping from his heart: "Okay! These are the three things you want! Even if you make a nest here, there won't be more."
Shen Xiaxia nodded with satisfaction: "No problem."
When Cui Jue handed a dozen Yama talismans to Shen Xia Xia, his heart was broken and he refused to let go of the talismans. Shen Xia Xia couldn't pull them apart, and if she used more force the talismans would be torn to pieces.
It’s no wonder that Cui Jue felt distressed. The marks of the soul-calling pen on the King of Hell’s talisman haven’t dried yet. It must be that Cui Jue had just obtained it.
Shen Xia Xia reminded: "If you don't let go, this talisman will rot. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Judge Cui should be more open-minded about everything."
"You!" Cui Jue was completely speechless. The robber even comforted the robbed: "This was just painted by the King of Hell this morning. The King of Hell rarely paints for several years. The previous stock was taken away by you. I finally got some new ones, and I begged for them by serving tea and water, and you took them away like this."
Shen Xia Xia sighed: "For you, you rarely use this talisman, it is just a collection of the King of Hell's authentic work, but I can use it to save many people's lives."
“Ah!” Cui Jue finally let go and said distressedly: “Use it carefully and don’t waste it. Once you use it up this time, there will be no more for real.”
"I understand." Shen Xia Xia took the treasure back to Da Dao Temple.
Cui Jue called Lu Mingan and said, "You know your daughter-in-law has a bad temper. She will investigate things thoroughly once she decides on them. Today I used the matter of the fetal spirit to scare her temporarily. Who knows, she might suddenly come up with some evil tricks one day. If you don't tell the truth, I can't protect you."
Lu Mingan bowed and said, "Thank you Judge Cui for your protection. Don't worry, the person I'm waiting for will be here soon. I will leave then and will not cause you any more trouble."
Cui Jue frowned: "Who are you waiting for? Zhou Yueqi? Or Song Nanzhi?"
Lu Mingan pursed his lips and said nothing: "These trivial matters are not worthy of the judge's concern. I will go to work first."
It's true that people from the same family resemble each other. She's just as stubborn as that dog Xia Xia.
If it weren't for the entrustment of an old friend, Cui Jue really wanted to kick him into the Forgetful River.
......
In the Dadaoguan.
Master Jun was making chicken soup, and this scene shocked Shen Xia Xia.
She reached out and touched Master Jun's forehead: "What happened today? Killing chickens?"
You should know that Master Jun has been a vegetarian all his life. Occasionally he would eat meat, but he would just follow others and would never kill any animals with his own hands.
Master Jun served a bowl of soup to Shen Xia Xia: "You have to eat something nutritious. If you eat green leaves like me, you'll be finished. The baby in your belly is in the growth stage."
Shen Xia Xia sneered: "You talk as if you were a father."
Master Jun knocked Shen Xia Xia on the head and said, "You've never eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run. Look at what you're saying."
Shen Xiaxia drank a mouthful of soup: "You are right."
Then he buried his head in the bowl and started eating.
I have to say that Master Jun's cooking skills are really great. Shen Xia Xia ate half a egret chicken, drank a few bowls of chicken soup, and lay on a recliner in the yard with a full stomach, doing nothing.
"I'm a little uncomfortable with being so idle all of a sudden."
Master Jun counted the chickens in the yard and sighed, "Hey, you've only been here for a few days, and only a few of the dozen chickens are left. If you raise chickens out of boredom, they won't grow as fast as you eat them."
Master Jun put in a few chicks he had bought in the morning and called Shen Xia Xia to come and feed them.
Shen Xia Xia stood side by side with Master Jun, holding a piece of vegetable leaves, thinking of Lu Mingan whom she saw in Cui Jue's mansion, and the bodies of Lu Mingan and her mother hugging each other.
She also thought of what Chongyao said, that she came to the Dadao Temple because someone greeted Master Jun in advance.
Shen Xia Xia irritably poured all the food into the chicken coop.
Master Jun grabbed her ears angrily and said, "Xia Xia, are you okay? How can you feed chickens like this?"
"Ahhhh, it hurts, it hurts..." Shen Xia Xia pouted and said, "Am I also worried about something?"
After Master Jun fed the chickens, he took Shen Xia Xia to meditate under the sycamore tree, but Shen Xia Xia refused to go over.
Now she feels nauseous whenever she sees the paulownia tree. She hates it as much as she liked it before.
Master Jun looked at Shen Xia Xia who was behaving strangely and asked: "Are you in your rebellious period? Most people's rebellious period is during adolescence, but you were not rebellious during adolescence, but you started to rebel after becoming a mother?"
"Oh, no." Shen Xia Xia sat down on the bamboo chair: "I learned some things that destroyed my worldview, and my mentality can no longer be the same as usual."
"What's the matter?" Master Jun asked while meditating.
"I found out that my mom and Lu Jingchen's dad were having an affair."
"and then?"
Shen Xia Xia had been planning for a long time before telling about the family scandal, but Master Jun's tone was unnaturally bland.
"I saw Lu Ming'an at Cui Jue's house, but he refused to admit that he was Lu Ming'an."
"By the way, Master Jun." Shen Xia Xia stood up suddenly: "I heard from Chong Yao that you took me to the Da Dao Temple because my mother asked you to?"
"Yes." Master Jun opened his eyes: "Your mother told me to do that."
"What is your relationship with my mother? Why did you agree to her request? And why did she send me here?"
Shen Xia Xia had more and more questions in her mind.
Master Jun stood up and poured a cup of tea: "I owe your mother a favor. Taking you to the Da Dao Temple is like repaying your mother's favor."
"What favor?"
"Your mother saved my life."
Master Jun is stuck in the past.
