Chapter 183 As long as he doesn't commit suicide, he is destined to achieve great things
late at night.

Yunlai Inn.

A gust of cold wind blew open the wooden window. Cheng Long suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at the two uninvited guests who came in with the wind and sat at the table.

The man has a beard like a spear, wears a red robe and holds a folding fan. The woman is heroic and graceful. Judging from the way they stand and sit, they are either husband and wife or brother and sister.

"May I ask who you two are?"

"Zhong Kui!"

"Zhong Li!"

Cheng Long was not surprised to learn the visitor's name.

The brother and sister both have very recognizable looks. You can recognize them if you have seen the movie Thousands of Killers. He had previously suspected that Yan Chixia and Zhong Kui had an unclear relationship.

Now I just feel like they are the same person.

Yan Chixia put on a judge's hat, and that was the Zhong Kui in front of him.

"Judge Zhong, I wonder what brings you and your sister to visit so late at night?"

"Young friend, are you a cultivator of the magic sect?"

Zhong Kui spoke frankly.

Zhong Li, who was standing behind him, stared at Cheng Long with his eyes wide open, without any concealment.

"Yes."

Cheng Long nodded.

He could hide his identity as a demon monk from Yan Chixia, but he could not hide it from the Four Judges.

Zhong Kui is the genuine god of the underworld, and his strength is extraordinary.

"Did you kill Yu Canhua?"

Zhong Kui's eyes gradually became sharper, with a hint of coldness in them.

"good."

Cheng Long was neither humble nor arrogant and showed no fear at all.

In the movie, Zhong Kui even spared the murderous Yu Canhua. He had not committed any crime and had not committed any crime, so he had nothing to worry about.

"How dare you make people lose their souls?"

Zhong Kui pretended to be angry, and a majestic aura pressed down on Cheng Long like Mount Tai.

Ah!
Cheng Long let out a muffled groan and his body sank slightly.

Zhong Kui's test made him feel unprecedented pressure.

The four judges are different. Their deterrent power is more terrifying than that of the mountain god Tang Sai'er he met in the zombie world.

However, it is simply wishful thinking to expect others to surrender under such intimidation.

"Judge Zhong, Yu Canhua has been taught to kill people by her seven brothers since she was young. She has no respect for living things and kills people as if they were chickens. She has no psychological burden. What crime have I committed in killing her?"

Cheng Long's words were sonorous and powerful, and his body slowly straightened up as he spoke, without any bend.

"Well, what's the crime?"

Zhong Kui laughed loudly and retracted his overwhelming momentum and pressure.

Zhong Li, who had not spoken a word, smiled and said, "My dear, my elder brother was just joking with you. Please don't be angry. By the way, what is your name? Who is your master?"

"My name is Cheng Long, and I don't have a master."

Cheng Long has been practicing until now, relying entirely on trial and error, without any famous teacher to teach him.

Fortunately, he did not have a famous teacher to teach him, otherwise, as a demon cultivator trying to cultivate merit, the first person to kill him might be his master.

"How come there is no master?" Zhong Li frowned.

"Miss Zhong, besides me, have you seen any other magic cultivator like me?" Cheng Long couldn't guarantee that he was the only magic cultivator who cultivated merit, but he was definitely a very rare magic cultivator.

Therefore, his rhetorical question was very powerful.

"..."

Zhong Li was speechless for a moment.

There are demon cultivators who do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but they just don't take the initiative to provoke the enemy. However, if the enemy comes to kill them, they will destroy the whole family or take away their souls, without any ambiguity.

This type of demon cultivator just doesn't have that much karma, and they kill people without mercy.

It is rare to see a demon cultivator as alternative as Cheng Long in the world.

"My friend, although there is nothing wrong with you killing evil people, some evil people, after receiving their punishment in hell, still have the opportunity to reincarnate. There is no need to let their souls fly away."

There is some truth in what Zhong Kui said.

However, Cheng Long's killing of evil people is not just to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, spiritual practice is the main purpose.

Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is just a by-product. Killing evil people can accumulate merits and can also make Zhong Kui and the ancestors of Maoshan restrain their hands and feet, killing two birds with one stone.

"Judge Zhong, you are right. I will pay attention next time."

Cheng Long's smiling words sounded very much like what a netizen on a certain website said: "Next time for sure" and were totally unconvincing.

Zhong Kui obviously saw through his little thoughts, and could only shake his head and warned: "The Eight Ghost Immortals are Yuan Detai's calamity. The remaining seven will appear. Before Yuan Detai commits suicide and completes his merits, I don't want any of them to disappear into thin air. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Okay, but you have to promise me that after Yuan Detai completes his merits, he will leave the Eight Ghost Immortals to me."

"No problem, as long as you have the ability."

This time, Zhong Kui only wanted to warn Cheng Long to prevent the plot from being drastically damaged. Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, he felt quite fond of him.

He subconsciously looked back at his sister and couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

If they had known each other earlier, maybe they could have found someone else as their brother-in-law. The brother and sister chatted with Cheng Long for a while, then said goodbye and returned to the underworld.

"Little sister, what do you think of Cheng Long?"

Zhong Kui returned to his mansion, lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked his sister about her feelings towards Cheng Long.

A person full of merits, practicing magic skills, just happened to stay in the underworld to work, which was very suitable for his sister.

Zhong Li subconsciously replied: "He's quite handsome, what's wrong?"

"Then do you mind changing your husband?"

"Ah~~"

Zhong Li was stunned.

Brother, you have only met her once, why do you want her to change her husband?
"Little sister, Master Cheng is a man of great fortune and has great merits. As long as he doesn't commit suicide in the future, he is destined to achieve great things. He is much better than the one you like."

In this world, Zhong Kui married his sister off not to Du Ping, but to a little-known Yin God.

The two met because he, as the eldest brother, was anxious to choose a husband for his younger sister.

Zhong Li didn't have much affection for the other person, they just liked each other.

"Brother, Lin Lang and I have already agreed on our marriage, and we have sent out some of the invitations. If I were to break off the engagement now, it would be too much of a blow to Lin Lang. Please forgive me for not agreeing to it."

Although Zhong Li had a good impression of Cheng Long, under such circumstances, the thought of abandoning her fiancé and marrying Cheng Long made her feel embarrassed.

She is not a fickle woman!

"Pity!"

Zhong Kui sighed with regret.

……

Early the next morning.

After Cheng Long finished washing up and was about to leave the inn to buy some food on the street, he saw Yuan Detai, Qiaoyin and Qiaoyin's mother walking towards him from not far away.

"My benefactor~~"

Qiaoyin's mother stepped forward quickly.

Yuan Detai and Qiao Yin followed closely behind.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

"My benefactor, this is my husband Yuan Detai and my daughter Qiaoyin. We are here to thank you and invite you to have a simple meal at our home tonight."

"Okay, I'll be there in the evening."

Seeing that Cheng Long agreed readily, Yuan Detai and his family of three were very happy.

After agreeing on a time for the banquet, the group dispersed.

At nine o'clock that evening, after the last table of guests left the Jindao Winery, Cheng Long picked up the time and brought a pot of wine as a gift to Yuan Detai.

"Qiaoyin, Erwu, the Mongolian roast lamb can wait a while. You can sit with Master Cheng for a while."

"Yes, Master." The two nodded in response.

Qiao Yin poured Cheng Long a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, I remember you. You came to our restaurant for dinner yesterday afternoon, right?"

"Yes, you have a good memory!"

"It's mainly because your clothes and appearance are too striking, it's hard not to remember."

Qiao Yin smiled playfully.

When Erwu saw this scene, he immediately became alert and subconsciously interrupted, "Master Cheng, how did you recognize that the second sister was He Xiangu Yu Canhua, the Eight Ghost Immortals?"

"Because I used to..."

As we were chatting, a cold wind suddenly blew up from behind, raising a cloud of dust.

25. Qiao Yin closed her eyes one after another, and when they were waiting to open their eyes again, a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat appeared on the bench not far away.

Standing next to the boiler, Yuan Detai, who was cooking Mongolian barbecue for Cheng Long himself, asked, "May I ask what you can do for me?"

"Book a table."

"So what would you like to eat?"

The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat weighed a string of copper coins in his hand, threw them on the table and said, "You see what happens."

"It won't take that much."

"I'm only afraid of not eating well, not spending money."

"How many?"

"Eight."

"When will you come?"

"tomorrow."

"Come at noon or at sunset?"

"Come at midnight."

The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat slowly raised his head.

When he saw the man's appearance clearly, Yuan Detai's face changed suddenly.

——Wang Erba, uncle Cao of the Eight Ghost Immortals!
