C14 The Door to the Underworld of Memories
Zhang Wu Ming walked along a seemingly endless road, his surroundings were filled with a strange mist, on both sides of him were extremely strange-looking trees, Zhang Wu Ming could not even tell if these trees were alive or dead.
Moreover, Zhang Wu Ming's legs were covered by this strange weapon, he had no way to see the road in front of him, and also had no way to see his feet, all he could do was to keep moving forward.
However, Zhang Wu Ming felt an invisible force pulling him forward, and when the force that was pulling him finally stopped, Zhang Wu Ming discovered that he was standing in front of a huge door.
This door looked very majestic. On the sides of the door, there were carvings of strange murals. At the center of the door, there was a black light that seemed to be spreading out, connecting the entire door together.
"Let's go, let's go. Hurry up and go in, don't waste time." Zhuo Jin, who was standing beside the door, spoke to Zhang Wu Ming who was standing in front of the door.
After hearing Zhuo Jin say that, Zhang Wu Ming took the opportunity to walk forward, and very quickly came into contact with the black light coming from the door.
But right at this moment, Zhang Wu Ming felt a sharp pain spread throughout his entire body, as though he had been electrocuted.
"This, this can't be entered!" Zhang Wu Ming could bear with the pain, but his body could not take another step forward, as though he was blocked by an invisible yet powerful force.
The ghosts behind Zhang Wu Ming also started to get impatient, "What are you doing? Hurry up and go in, don't waste our time! "
The ghosts started to clamor, but Zhuo Jin started to feel unhappy. When she was about to say something, a male voice came from the side.
"Hey!" You, don't go in, come out! " This sentence sounded more like a warning or an order, and it was very obvious that it was directed at Zhang Wu Ming.
Zhang Wu Ming did not know what to do, so he could only step back.
After seeing Zhang Wu Ming walk out, the rest of the ghosts all walked towards the door, but they were different from Zhang Wu Ming, they easily passed through the door, and then disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Zhang Wu Ming started to notice the person who had stopped him just now, because he had already silently walked in front of Zhang Wu Ming.
The clothes the person in front of him wore seemed very old, as though it was the clothes of a Daoist priest from a few centuries ago. However, it looked a little different, because Zhang Wu Ming seemed to have never seen a Daoist wearing a white robe.
The person standing in front of Zhang Wu Ming was Xie Bian, but Zhang Wu Ming didn't know where this guy came from.
At the beginning, Zhang Wu Ming wanted to resist, but he quickly realized that doing so would have no effect on him at all. It was as if there was an irresistible force in Xie Bian's body, causing him to completely lose the power to resist, and even the will to resist started to wear down.
"Relax, I'm not trying to hurt you. You can't go in." Xie Bian said to Zhang Wu Ming.
But after hearing that, Zhuo Jin suddenly moved closer and said to Xie Bian, "Heh! Old Xie, what are you talking about? "Stealing my business? Do you believe that I won't kill you?"
Xie Bian didn't seem to plan on arguing with Zhuo Jin, so he directly said, "This guy can't go in. He shouldn't have died and he hasn't completely died either, it's just a failure. I have to make him pay."
However, Zhuo Jin did not seem to appreciate his kindness, "Pfft, did you go too far on the mortal realm to become a fool? You intend to resurrect a dead man? Are you crazy? "
"Zhuo Jin, you know too little. This kind of person can't be allowed to go to the gates of the Underworld. I've already said it before, he isn't dead yet, so how can he be reincarnated?" Just let me take care of him. " Xie Bian looked perfunctory as he spoke to Zhuo Jin.
Then, Xie Bian turned to Zhang Wu Ming and said, "Brat, how did you get down?"
This question was also one that Zhang Wu Ming wanted to know the answer to. He didn't even know how he came to this place, and all his previous memories were gone as well.
"Ghosts? Forget it, let me return you to the sun first. " With that said, Xie Bian took out a brush and a spell that had been drawn on it for some unknown reason.
Xie Bian placed the sigil right in the middle of Zhang Wuming's forehead. The moment the sigil was stuck, Zhang Wuming immediately felt like his entire body was frozen and unable to move.
"Nine days, bathe and refine. Return!" With that, Xie Bian drew a few strokes on Zhang Wu Ming's forehead with the brush in his hand.
At first, Zhang Wu Ming felt a bit of liquid that was like ink on his face, but then he felt that there was an invisible force circulating inside his body, and the power seemed to be trying to break out from inside his body.
It was uncomfortable, but he had no way to struggle. Zhang Wu Ming could only stand in place and wait quietly.
Initially, Zhang Wu Ming thought that his body would explode, the feeling of his body was like a balloon filled with air, if he were to put more pressure on it, Zhang Wu Ming would explode to the point where he would not even be left with anything.
However, along with a golden beam of light emitting from Zhang Wu Ming's body, the golden light seemed to have found a breakthrough in Zhang Wu Ming's fate. He felt that the strange power in his body was slowly leaking out through this breakthrough.
Originally, Zhang Wu Ming thought that his body would be smashed into smithereens, but after that moment, Zhang Wu Ming felt the hope of surviving once again. Even the door to the Underworld that was emitting a seemingly evil black glow started to look righteous in Zhang Wu's eyes.
Xie Bian stopped himself. The marks of ink and the runes on Zhang Wuming's head also disappeared.
"How are you feeling now? Do you remember anything? " Xie Bian asked Zhang Wu Ming.
Honestly speaking, Zhang Wu Ming felt much better now, he could even feel his body slowly warming up, but he still couldn't think of anything, his memories were still as blank as before.
"I don't remember anything." Zhang Wu Ming shook his head as he spoke.
Xie Bian was a bit stunned. This was probably the first time he saw someone like Zhang Wu Ming.
"You don't even know who you are?" Xie Bian asked again.
Zhang Wu Ming continued to shake his head.
However, Xie Bian suddenly reached out and pressed down on Zhang Wuming's neck. "Don't move."
This wasn't a question of whether or not Zhang Wu Ming wanted to move. The moment Xie Bian's hand touched Zhang Wu Ming's neck, Zhang Wu Ming felt that his body couldn't move at all, just like how Xie Bian felt when he rolled his eyes.
"So that's how it is. Truly an extremely rare fellow." Xie Bian finally stopped. Then, he spoke with an extremely slow speed.
But Zhuo Jin, who was standing to the side, seemed to be piqued by Xie Bian's words. "Hey, don't say half a word!" Tell me what's going on with this guy? It must be interesting if even I don't know. "
When Zhuo Jin said this, her facial expression changed at least several times. From displeasure at the start to doubt in the middle to begging, it was as if she was a master at changing expressions.
"Just now, I've let him off, but there is a barrier between him and his body. If I were to leave him alone like this, he would definitely die and even become the devil of a ghost." Xie Bian said calmly.
Without waiting for Zhuo Jin to say anything, or to be exact, before the expression on Zhuo Jin's face began to change, an extremely deep male voice came from behind the crowd.
"Then let me destroy him!"
Everyone quickly turned around, only to see that the person who spoke was a man with clothes that were still weird, but were completely different in style from Xie Bian's.
This person was called Ju Liuwei, Xie Bian's partner. He had been following Xie Bian around, but something had happened just now that caused Xie Bian to be one step ahead of Ju Liu.
At this moment, Ju Liuwei was waving his staff in an attempt to attack Zhang Wuming, but Xie Bian reached out to stop him.
"Hey, wait, don't attack him." Xie Bian said to Jing Liuwei.
"Old Xie, what secret relationship does he have with you? If we let him go on like this, he will become a demon among ghosts sooner or later. If he wants to be cured, it will be troublesome, so we might as well just kill him right now! " Ju Liuwei said directly.
Xie Bian pushed Liu Wei away. "You want to kill him just for this?" Aren't you being a little too vicious? "If I let this guy die just like that, wouldn't that be too pitiful?"
On the other hand, Zhang Wu Ming who was standing at the side was stunned, they did not know what the two were talking about, and Zhuo Jin was just sitting at the side watching the two sides bickering, watching her gloating, she was almost holding a bucket of popcorn and eating it while watching.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I didn't expect Old Xie to have such a side to you. Tell me the reason, and let me hear it properly." Ju Liuwei said to Xie Bian.
"Just now, when I was trying to return his favor, that fellow's body was glowing with golden light. This shows that he was someone who had outstanding merits in his previous life. To kill such a person directly, that must be breaking the rules, right?" Xie Bian said to Liuwei.
However, before Ju Liu could reply, Zhuo Jin first naughtily said, "Right, you're going to break the rules, hee hee!"
Qiu Liuwei did not pay any attention to Zhuo Jin. It was likely that he was already used to Zhuo Jin suddenly interrupting like this, so he directly said to Xie Bian, "If he is allowed to ignore it, then something big will happen. What do you think we should do?"
"Simple. Recently, the Underworld has been in need of manpower. My Messenger ran away again. Isn't it perfect for him to be my Messenger?" Xie Bian's sudden words caused Zhang Wu Ming, who had been standing on the side all this time, to be shocked.
