Chapter 94 Ghost Shadow
Tongtian Tower was Zheng Wenjie's preparation for becoming a god. When he left the underworld, he remembered that he had not taken away the red spider lily that was stained with his tears, and he also remembered that Changsheng was just one of Mengpo Sanqi's souls.
This gave Zheng Wenjie a lot of inspiration. Why does Shintoism have to use the primordial spirit to practice? That's because the primordial spirit is more complete than the soul, and the soul is just a part of the primordial spirit. Only the primordial spirit as the origin can perfectly bear the power of vows.
But Zheng Wenjie does not need to use the divine power as if it were his own arm, as long as he can use it. What is more powerful than the soul is the blood talisman that Zheng Wenjie uses to coagulate human blood.
The blood talisman has devoured hundreds of thousands of souls. With just a thought from Zheng Wenjie, the blood talisman can fully understand what Zheng Wenjie means and react. Zheng Wenjie is sure that the blood talisman has given birth to a spirit.
Using the blood talisman to carry the wishes of all living beings so that he can use the power of God through the blood talisman, this is a vague idea of Zheng Wenjie, but it requires experiments to see whether the blood talisman can really carry the wishes of all living beings and give birth to divine power as Zheng Wenjie thought.
The sun was about to set. Zheng Wenjie looked at everyone and said softly, "Wait here, the sun is about to set."
"The sun is setting, what are you going to do?" Zhao Lei was a little angry when he was nervous, but then he immediately regained his composure and said softly, "Master Zheng, I will do this well and let my son reincarnate."
"You are still as alert as before. You understand everything at once. You know that I will take your son's soul after dark, but you just can't figure it out and threaten me." Zheng Wenjie frowned and looked a little impatient: "Wait quietly for dark. I want you to see with your own eyes that death is not the end, but another beginning."
Zheng Wenjie glanced at the expressions of these people and turned to enter the villa.
"I have a good impression of Zhao Fengyun. He often gives me new and interesting things." Tang Xue sat on the dining table, her legs dangling in the air.
"Then should we let him go?" Zheng Wenjie asked casually as he sat on the sofa.
Tang Xue jumped off the dining table and skipped to sit across from Zheng Wenjie: "I didn't pay attention. I didn't expect to be secretly filmed at the time. Do you want me to go to Zhao's house and find the camera?"
Zheng Wenjie shook his head: "Don't worry about it. He won't leave the tape at home. He will deliver the things honestly."
Tang Xue looked at Zheng Wenjie's calm expression and suddenly asked, "Aren't you worried that the young lady's information will really be exposed by Zhao Lei? If it is really exposed, what will the young lady think?"
Zheng Wenjie was stunned for a moment. He really didn't think about Gong Ruomei at that time. He only thought that Zhao Lei dared to threaten him. He was silent for a moment: "He dare not, and I will not let him spread the news."
Tang Xue pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "You know what I mean, have you never thought about the young lady? I didn't see you hesitate at all just now."
"And Miss has been looking at your portrait every day for so many years. Miss regards you as her only support and reliance."
Zheng Wenjie was a little unhappy, even though Tang Xue was telling the truth. He waved at Tang Xue and patted the leather sofa beside him: "Xiaoxue, come here."
Tang Xue wrinkled her nose, but still moved her seat obediently and sat next to Zheng Wenjie. Just as she was about to speak, Zheng Wenjie pinched both sides of her face with both hands: "Ouch, be gentle! It hurts~"
"Remember, your lady is very important to me. I didn't hesitate because I believe in myself. No one can hurt your lady. Remember?"
Seeing Tang Xue nodding repeatedly, Zheng Wenjie let go of his hand. Tang Xue covered her face and buried her head in the sofa, and soon she started to cry.
Zheng Wenjie's face twitched, and he patted Tang Xue's shoulder helplessly: "How old are you? Why are you still crying like a child?"
"Miss... um... Miss has never bullied me." Tang Xue choked up, wiped her tears, sat up and continued stubbornly: "Also! I'm only seventeen years old. From the day the young lady bit me, my time was suspended. I'm just a child."
Zheng Wenjie raised his hands: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have bullied you. Can I apologize to you?"
Seeing Tang Xue rubbing her face and nodding, Zheng Wenjie continued, "I think we can't let your young lady stay at home all the time. We need to let her go out more often. What do you think? Where should we take her to play?"
Tang Xue wiped away her tears, and her red cheeks became fair and tender again under her powerful self-healing ability. She frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know where you want to go, Miss. Do you want to go to the clinic first?"
"Because Zhao Lei was awarded a Justice of the Peace at that time, he proposed an idea to the young lady to expand the clinic into a large public welfare hospital. The name of Minxin Hospital was also given by the young lady, but the young lady liked quietness, so she asked to move the hospital to West Kowloon."
"I think Miss would like to see the current changes in Minxin Hospital. Besides, all the shares belong to Miss. This is Miss's career."
Zheng Wenjie nodded in agreement and looked at Tang Xue: "In that case, why don't you learn how to manage a hospital? It's such a big hospital, and you are so greedy that you would leave it there and not care about it?"
"I'm not greedy for money now. I've handled so much money over the years that I can't even count it myself." Tang Xue said angrily, and then became discouraged: "Minxin Hospital doesn't make money! It loses millions every year, I don't want to care!"
Zheng Wenjie nodded calmly. Sure enough, his greedy character had not changed at all. "Okay, it's decided. I'll take your lady to Minxin Hospital tomorrow!"
"It's getting dark. I've put the willow leaf water on the table. I'll go talk to the lady first." Tang Xue said and ran upstairs. Zheng Wenjie saw that the sun had already set outside, so he picked up the willow leaf water and walked out of the villa to the garden: "Why are you so nervous? Relax."
Zheng Wenjie snapped his fingers casually, and flames flowed from his hands into the air like running water, gathering into a small fireball that illuminated the surroundings.
Zhao Fengyun's body had turned as pale as paper. Only Zhao Lei was still sitting beside him. Zhang Rui had already hidden beside Zhang Tianci.
The others also had different expressions, but the Hou brothers looked calm. Hou Rui said, "Master Zheng, we have just discussed it. We should be able to withdraw 70 million Hong Kong dollars to build the Tongtian Tower without affecting the group."
"There's no rush. Choose a location first, then make a decision after you've made the blueprints. Zhao Lei, what about you? Have you really made up your mind?"
Zhao Lei looked at Zheng Wenjie calmly: "I just want to know if I didn't threaten you, would you really let us go for killing Lin Bao?"
Zheng Wenjie nodded: "Yes, although I am very angry, whether it is because of fear or some other reason, you did not really betray me."
"I don't want to get involved with the emotional entanglement between you and a woman. I will find a way to help Lin Bao have a good rebirth in his next life. This can be regarded as an explanation to him."
Zhao Lei closed his eyes, wiped away the tears that had just fallen, and said, "I understand, Master Zheng. I will personally supervise the construction of Tongtian Tower."
After looking at Zhao Lei for a while, Zheng Wenjie felt a little bored. He casually sprinkled the willow leaf water accurately into their eyes.
When they rubbed their eyes and opened them again, they saw Zhao Fengyun standing next to their bodies with half of his neck still covered in blood.
"Son..." Zhao Lei called softly, but Zhao Fengyun looked at him with hatred: "I heard everything. If you hadn't threatened him, I wouldn't have died!"
"From childhood to adulthood, I have to obey your arrangements in everything, including what books to read and what to learn. You even asked me to abandon the people I love."
"Let me marry this bitch, look at her! Look at her! Is she a little sad when I die?"
"You...how can you...talk like that!" Zhang Tianci pointed at Zhao Fengyun tremblingly, his chest heaving.
"I'm talking to my dad, shut up! It's all because of you, otherwise I wouldn't be dead!"
Zheng Wenjie rubbed his brows, not wanting to listen to this farce any more. He waved to the soul-catcher who had been standing aside. The soul-catcher bowed slightly and revealed his figure.
Most people want to stay in the human world after they die, and Hades also gives a time limit of seven days. This soul-collecting messenger was summoned by Zheng Wenjie through the Book of the Underworld.
Hou Jie and others were shocked to see the sudden appearance of the soul-catcher, but fortunately they were all middle-aged and elderly people and had seen storms, and with Zheng Wenjie present, they were able to sit safely in their chairs.
Soul-catchers are different from ghosts. They have practiced the cultivation methods bestowed by Hades and have essentially evolved from ghosts into species of the underworld. Although they still have human bodies, their limbs and facial features are different.
Seeing the soul-catcher, Zhao Fengyun was instinctively a little afraid and floated back two steps. A black iron chain was wrapped around his body, binding him tightly.
The soul-collecting messenger mentioned Zhao Fengyun and bowed to Zheng Wenjie, saying, "Master Ferryman, I will take my leave first."
Zheng Wenjie nodded slightly, and the soul-catcher took Zhao Fengyun and disappeared in front of everyone. He did not go to the underworld, but used magic power to become invisible and quickly left the martial arts hall.
If you want to go to the underworld, you can only go through the entrance of Huangquan in the human world. If there are enough soul-catchers in the underworld, the ferryman's job would be several times easier.
Unfortunately, not all ghosts can satisfy the Soul Catcher's practice method.
Zheng Wenjie said to Zhao Lei, whose face turned pale because of Zhao Fengyun's words: "As long as you do the task I gave you, your threat to me will be paid with your son's life. If anything goes wrong, you and your family will never be able to reincarnate again. Let's go, all of you!"
After they all left, Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue came to the garden. Zheng Wenjie looked at the tray held in Gong Ruomei's hands and remembered what Tang Xue had just said. Zheng Wenjie felt a little distracted. He picked up the bowl awkwardly and drank a mouthful of blood. He glared at Tang Xue fiercely, then Zheng Wenjie pretended nothing had happened and hugged Gong Ruomei while talking and went back to the villa.
...
"Ahai! Ahai!" Tang Cuihong looked around the room, wondering why Gu Hai suddenly disappeared. As soon as she turned around, she felt a palpitation in her heart and her whole body became stiff. She watched the ghost floating on the bed.
