Chapter 174: Ninth Lifetime of Immortality
Liang Jiamin stood up and was about to send Zheng Wenjie away dejectedly, but she saw Zheng Wenjie, who had just stood up, sitting back down again. She raised her head in confusion and saw Zheng Wenjie raised his chin and said to her, "Go to the door to pick her up and let her in."
With a "oh", Liang Jiamin walked over quickly and opened the door. She walked around the shelves and saw a woman asking the clerk at the cashier. She happened to hear her talking about looking for Zhao Wenru. Liang Jiamin greeted her, "Miss, my boss is inside and invites you in."
Ma Xiaoling looked at Liang Jiamin, said thank you and followed Liang Jiamin into the inner study room of the convenience store. However, the person sitting inside was not Zhao Wenru as Ma Xiaoling thought, but Zheng Wenjie.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Liang Jiamin rolled her eyes and quickly moved the chair she had brought a little further away. She smiled at Ma Xiaoling and said, "Miss, please sit here."
"Then boss, you guys chat slowly, I'll go out and help."
Zheng Wenjie nodded: "Go ahead."
After Liang Jiamin pushed the door open and walked out, Zheng Wenjie looked at Ma Xiaoling who was sitting opposite him and staring at him without saying a word and asked curiously: "How did you know I was here?"
Ma Xiaoling glanced at the ashes still on the large desk and said, "I'm not here to see you. I'm here to see Zhao Wenru. But it doesn't matter now."
"I want to say thank you to you. My great aunt has been reincarnated."
Zheng Wenjie hummed and said nothing.
"I have always been reluctant to leave my great aunt, and she also couldn't bear to abandon me. When I grew up, I selfishly hoped that my great aunt would not be reincarnated and would always be with me like she did when I was a child."
"I know it's selfish, so I want to thank you for making the decision for me and not letting my great aunt suffer the punishment of avoiding reincarnation."
Zheng Wenjie was silent. At that time, Gong Ruomei wanted to use the rule of issuing a challenge to end the conflict with them, and then they would not interfere with each other. It was because he wanted to vent Tang Xue's anger that he sent the soul-collecting messenger to take Ma Donna back to the underworld. As for her saying that Ma Donna was not punished, it had nothing to do with him.
If there is a real connection, the punishment should be doubled.
"You don't need to thank me for this. If you were not punished, it must be because your seniors in the underworld are doing things for Hades."
Zheng Wenjie knocked on the table and said, "But I accept your thanks. Just think of it as me helping you kill Miao Shan half a month ago. If it weren't for me, you would have been fooled into looking like fools."
Ma Xiaoling looked at Zheng Wenjie's indifferent attitude and felt a little suffocated. If she could beat him, she really wanted to make him kneel down and beg for mercy like those ghosts who were hurt by her.
"Thank you for that, too."
After that day, Ma Xiaoling herself realized that if she could really change history and everything that had happened, how ridiculous this world would be. She actually believed it all involuntarily at that time. As soon as she saw Miao Shan, the doubts in her heart would always disappear. Ma Xiaoling also understood that she was cursed by Miao Shan.
"There is one more thing." Ma Xiaoling took a deep breath. If everything was true, and Zheng Wenjie was really the reincarnation of Luo Hou who wanted the human world to be assimilated by the underworld, then she and Kuang Tianyou, just zombies, should not be left to save the world. With Pluto, Miao Shan, and the Tears of Guanyin, and with gods and Buddhas all over the sky, aren't they all more capable of saving the world than her?
"Zhao Wenru came to see us two days ago. He said that you are the reincarnation of Luohou! A moon-burying ceremony will be held on the Ghost Festival on July 15th." Ma Xiaoling said in one breath, staring at Zheng Wenjie, trying to see if all this was true.
Zheng Wenjie recalled that when he killed Zhao Wenru, his soul was torn to pieces by him, and his flesh was also sucked up by Yu'er. Yu'er did become stronger, and half of her foot had stepped into the earthly immortal realm. The well-nourished second-generation zombies were only in the earthly immortal realm. Zhao Wenru, who was able to lend a helping hand to Yu'er, could not be a fake, so the answer naturally appeared.
Zheng Wenjie laughed, revealing a row of white teeth, which made Ma Xiaoling clench her fists and feel even more nervous.
"Call Kuang Tianyou and ask him to come over. I want you to do something for me."
After Zheng Wenjie finished speaking, he saw that Ma Xiaoling's face was tense, as if she was facing a great enemy, so he quickly knocked on the desk and said, "I am not the reincarnation of Luohou, and I will not want to do any moon burial ceremony. Don't forget, I have a family and a career, and it was not Zhao Wenru who came to you. Who came to you two days ago?"
"The day I killed Miao Shan, he was already dead in my hands. It's been half a month."
Ma Xiaoling was shocked: "If it's not Zhao Wenru, then who could it be? Uncle Qiu has already confirmed that it is Zhao Wenru!"
"I don't know." Zheng Wenjie replied, and continued: "But no matter who it is, the target is not you, but Kuang Tianyou."
"It's interesting to say that I'm the reincarnation of Luohou." Zheng Wenjie chuckled, "Call Kuang Tianyou and ask him to come over. I'll tell you the truth about the so-called Moon Burial Ceremony."
Ma Xiaoling nodded silently. She believed Zheng Wenjie more than anyone else, who had only met her once and might have been the man pretending to be Zhao Wenru, and who could have killed her every time but always let her go.
Without avoiding Zheng Wenjie, she took out her cell phone and called Kuang Tianyou in front of Zheng Wenjie. When the call was connected and Kuang Tianyou's voice came, Ma Xiaoling said directly: "The person who came to us two days ago was not Zhao Wenru but someone pretending to be him. The real Zhao Wenru is dead. I am now at convenience store No. 138. Zheng Wenjie is also here. He wants you to come over. He will tell us what happened."
Kuang Tianyou hung up the phone, his expression became hesitant. Liu Hai, who was driving, glanced at him, stopped the car on the side of the road and said, "Are you in a hurry? Then go ahead. I'll give you two hours. It's just the right time to get the missing persons records back and analyze the possible candidates based on the bodies found."
Noticing Kuang Tianyou's puzzled look, Liu Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Do you really think that I only care about my subordinates and don't care about them? Let's go, let's go."
Kuang Tianyou got out of the car and watched Liu Hai drive away, muttering, "What's wrong with Inspector Liu today? He still cares about his subordinates."
Liu Hai was driving, muttering, "Damn it, if this case can't be solved, my promotion at the end of the year will be gone. I don't have any capable people under me except Kuang Tianyou. I must choose two people carefully next year."
Kuang Tianyou got out of the taxi and greeted Ma Xiaoling who was waiting at the door: "What's going on?"
"I wanted to find Zhao Wenru to confirm it, but the person inside was Zheng Wenjie. Zhao Wenru was killed by him on the day Miao Shan lied to us."
Kuang Tianyou nodded and looked up at convenience store No. 138: "Is Zheng Wenjie in there?"
Ma Xiaoling hummed: "There is a study room inside the convenience store. He is inside. I will come out and wait for you. I feel too depressed when I am with him."
"Come in first, what would you like to drink? We have warm and cold drinks." Liang Jiamin opened the door and waved. Kuang Tianyou nodded to Liang Jiamin and glanced at Ma Xiaoling, who explained, "Come in, she's an employee here."
When Liang Jiamin saw Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou walking straight into the inner room, she stuck out her tongue and thought to herself that it couldn't be a real emotional dispute. This woman was bringing a man to see the boss as a demonstration. No, I have to go and take a look.
Curiosity drove Liang Jiamin to take two bottles of water from the shelf and came to the study room, patted the door, and then pushed it open and walked in. This door was a fire iron door, but it was heavy and not locked.
"I'll bring the water." Liang Jiamin held two bottles of water in her hands and waved them in front of her. She looked at the man and woman standing in front of the boss as if they were in confrontation, and now they were looking at her. "Sure enough, they must have a bad relationship with the boss." Liang Jiamin's throat rolled, and she walked around to Zheng Wenjie and placed a bottle of water in front of Zheng Wenjie, and put the other bottle of water behind her.
Zheng Wenjie looked up at Liang Jiamin and waved his hand: "Go out."
"Ah? Oh." Liang Jiamin looked at Ma Xiaoling reluctantly, muttering to herself, "It seems that this woman likes uncles. The boss is going to be heartbroken." Seeing Kuang Tianyou looking at Zheng Wenjie as if in protest, Liang Jiamin glared at Kuang Tianyou before leaving the study.
The three people in the study room didn't know what Liang Jiamin was thinking about, nor did they care about her performance. Zheng Wenjie looked at the two people standing in the only position, and stood up and said with a smile: "Someone must be trying to deceive you again. Do you know why it's always you?"
Ma Xiaoling and the other person looked at each other, and Kuang Tianyou said, "Because we have a dispute with you? You want us to deal with you, right?"
"No." Zheng Wenjie crossed his arms and looked at Kuang Tianyou and explained, "Or rather, their goal was originally related to us, but I ruined their plan, and you, Kuang Tianyou, caught their eye and they wanted to make you a pawn. As for Ma Xiaoling, she is just a bonus to them."
Ma Xiaoling felt uncomfortable, but she didn't care about it anymore because of the blow she had suffered. She no longer believed that their Ma family could really exterminate all the zombies in the world and eliminate the generals and ministers. However, she still felt unhappy when Zheng Wenjie bluntly said that she was dispensable and just a bonus.
"Who are they?" Kuang Tianyou was also very unhappy, or rather, he was also very angry. They used his hope of becoming a human to take advantage of him, which was very difficult for him to bear.
Zheng Wenjie pointed his finger upwards and said, "It can be said that there are gods and Buddhas all over the sky. They use you and want to destroy you. In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Chen, no." Zheng Wenjie shook his head and continued, "If it weren't for Jiang Chen, we wouldn't have become zombies."
"Because of Jiang Chen, we are still alive. Otherwise, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky would not allow us to jump out of the six realms of reincarnation and exist without any control."
"Let me give you an example." Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at Ma Xiaoling: "A cultivator like Ma Xiaoling who wants to ascend to heaven must practice for at least nine lifetimes to make his soul strong enough."
"But for nine lives, unless you are taught by someone in every life, you will just waste an unknown amount of time. If you are lucky, you will have the support of your master and elders in every life. The stronger your soul will be, the higher your talent for cultivation will be. There will always be a life in which you can complete your cultivation and ascend to the immortal realm, which is the earthly immortal realm."
"Except for the innate gods, who are born in the immortal realm, even the original humans who first appeared also need to rely on cultivation to reach the immortal realm. However, all the immortals above the earthly immortal realm and the true immortal realm will face the five disasters of heaven and man."
"But Kuang Tianyou, we are different from them."
Zheng Wenjie looked at Kuang Tianyou seriously: "We are zombies transformed by Jiang Chen. We are born in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Of course, for someone like you who doesn't absorb human blood, the Pangu bloodline in your body has not been fully activated."
"We are immortal, we don't need to practice, and we are not subject to the five disasters of heaven and earth. Do you know what this means to the gods and Buddhas in the sky? If it weren't for the second generation of the Pangu clan who still need to suck blood to survive and have weaknesses, and if Jiang Chen were still in this world, our existence would not affect them. Only then would the gods and Buddhas in the sky be able to tolerate our existence."
Ma Xiaoling looked at Zheng Wenjie and said angrily: "Zombies suck human blood. All the gods and Buddhas in the sky are just like what you said. Aren't there any people with great virtues?"
"After completing their cultivation and becoming an immortal, they will awaken the deepest memories of each life, and they will change. At the very least, apart from your Ma family, no one has ever taken the initiative to cause trouble for me. What do you think?"
Seeing Ma Xiaoling speechless, Zheng Wenjie clenched his teeth, and his cheeks flushed red, he said in a comforting tone: "The longer they have been immortals, the less they dare to come down to the mortal world. The five disasters of heaven and man are still waiting for them."
"In Kunlun Mountain and the Possa world, they can still hide, but in the human world, they can't hide."
Ma Xiaoling took a deep breath and asked, "So what do they want to do by using us this time?"
Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at Kuang Tianyou and said, "For the Moon Burial Ceremony, Luohou's reincarnation in this life is called Yuming Thirteen, and he is now in his grave in Koyasan, Japan."
"Faked death?" Kuang Tianyou asked doubtfully. He knew that the thirteen notes were left behind by Yu Ming Thirteen, and the person who pretended to be Zhao Wenru was asking them to get the thirteen notes to deal with Zheng Wenjie.
"That's right, and the Moon Burial Ceremony must begin, and then Luohou must be killed when it is about to be completed."
Ma Xiaoling frowned and asked in confusion: "Wait, if that's the case, why did the person pretending to be Zhao Wenru tell us that you are the reincarnation of Luohou?"
Zheng Wenjie shook his head: "I don't know, but if we follow their plan, we will naturally find out."
"I understand. According to the plan of all the gods and Buddhas, the Moon Burial Ceremony will fail. Why?" Kuang Tianyou had been thinking about Zheng Wenjie's words and now asked directly.
"The King of Hell told me that on the 15th day of the seventh month, the moon in the sky will turn red and a mysterious Yin energy will rise between heaven and earth. This kind of power is very much needed in both Kunlun and the Posuo world."
“The closer the Moon Burial Ceremony is to completion, the thicker the Xuanyin energy will be. However, we cannot allow the Moon Burial Ceremony to be truly completed.”
Kuang Tianyou closed his eyes and sighed before looking at Zheng Wenjie to confirm, "So, they are afraid of the five disasters of heaven and earth and dare not come down to earth, so they use me to stop Luohou from burying the moon, because I am a zombie bitten to death by Jiang Chen, and I have enough potential to stop all this?"
Zheng Wenjie snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, they will try to stimulate your potential next."
"What will they do?"
Zheng Wenjie thought about it carefully and looked at Ma Xiaoling: "Is Ma Xiaoling important to you? If I guess correctly, when you go to get the Thirteen Notes, Yu Ming Thirteen will jump out and kill you."
"It's hard to kill you, but killing Ma Xiaoling should be easy for him."
