Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 172 Interrogation
When the City God heard this, his brows immediately frowned.

If that were the case, then Miss Wu's crime wouldn't be that serious and wouldn't even need to be taken seriously.

The City God in front of him thought of this, and after thinking for a while, he noticed Wu Changyun standing beside him.

Seeing this, the City God's eyes became firm, and he said, "Wu Changyun!"

"The grass people are here!"

Hearing the City God calling him, Wu Changyun was suddenly frightened.

Ever since he entered here, he had already been frightened by the ghost officials around him and the various wronged souls that had been captured.

At this moment, his heart was filled with fear.

"I want to ask you, you said before that your life was coming to an end because of this painting monster, do you have any evidence?"

Perhaps we don't need to worry about the matter of those diners, but if this painted monster has harmed Wu Changyun's life before, then he needs to be captured.

When Wu Changyun heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then recalled what he had just seen and nodded immediately, "It is true!"

Madam Wu's body trembled when she heard this. Although she had seen the other party do this before, she still couldn't hide her grief and anger when she heard it again.

She didn't understand why she had worked so hard to be with him forever, even at the cost of her own spiritual power to prolong his life, but now he did something so heartless and ungrateful.

Thinking of this, Madam Wu couldn't help but look at Wu Changyun.

But at this moment, Wu Changyun lowered his head and didn't even look at Madam Wu.

"Madam Wu, what do you have to say?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu's face was filled with misery. "To answer your question, Master Wu's lifespan ended because he accidentally fell off a cliff. When I arrived, his soul had already left his body. In order to stay with him forever, I collected his soul and cast a spell to nourish his body."

“But even so, it is still impossible to restore his body and soul to their original state. Therefore, I have been using spiritual medicine and mortal energy to keep him alive.”

"I have admired him for many years, how could I harm him?"

At the end of her speech, Mrs. Wu looked very sad.

She also didn't expect that after all the efforts she had made over the years, in the end, Wu Changyun would hate her so much.

The City God listened to the conversation between the two, thought about it for a while, and then he believed most of what Miss Wu said.

If the other party was a demon and really wanted to murder Wu Changyun, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Moreover, it would be even more not worth it to extend the life of the other person after doing him harm.

It seems that Wu Changyun lied.

Thinking of this, the City God shouted, "Wu Changyun, what your wife said is true or not, tell the truth!"

No ordinary monster or ghost could withstand such a fierce roar.

After the words fell, Wu Changyun was also startled, and then his face flushed red. Then he answered hesitantly, "I didn't know what happened at the time, but I did fall off the cliff."

"I just heard that if people get along with monsters for too long, their lifespan will be reduced. So I concluded that it was her fault that caused me to fall off the cliff!"

Song Yunyuan was sitting aside, drinking wine in small sips and listening to the interrogation of the City God.

When he suddenly heard Wu Changyun's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wu Changyun with surprise.

"Will staying with fairies for too long reduce my lifespan?"

Song Yunyuan fell into deep thought. He didn't fully understand the matter. However, how could Wu Changyun be so sure that it was Madam Wu who caused him to fall off the cliff?

When Madam Wu heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

She didn't know whether Wu Changyun had already thought of this before or just answered like this on the spur of the moment.

But no matter which one it was, it made her heart ache.

After hearing what Wu Changyun said, the City God fell silent for a while.

Then he picked up a book beside him and began to read it, as if Wu Changyun's words had touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

While flipping through the books, the City God carefully glanced at Song Yunyuan who was sitting below him.

I originally thought that this case would be easy to try, but I never expected it to become so complicated.

I don’t know if being like this will make me lose face in front of Song Yunyuan.

Thinking about this, the City God felt a little embarrassed.

The City God quickly flipped through the book in his hand, but he looked calm. After he saw a line of words, he suddenly calmed down.

"As you said, getting along with goblins will shorten one's lifespan. Where did you get this information?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Changyun quickly replied, "It was said by a Taoist priest!"

"What nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the City God shouted, "The matter of reducing one's own fortune and life span refers to ghosts. Ghosts are inherently ominous. After losing their bodies, they will naturally absorb the essence and yang energy of the surrounding mortals. Since ghosts are yin, they will naturally reduce the fortune and life span of mortals."

"However, the goblin is an enlightened goblin. As long as the goblin does not actively absorb the essence of others, it will naturally not shorten the lifespan of mortals."

The City God stared closely at Wu Changyun below, but he felt relieved in his heart.

He said, why did what Wu Changyun said seem to make some sense, but also seemed a little wrong.

The other party has got all the characters wrong!
No matter how you look at it, goblins are also enlightened, and they are completely different from ghosts.

Ghosts were also human beings in their previous lives, and they instinctively have a great desire for the flesh. Therefore, when they stay with mortals, they will involuntarily absorb everything from them.

This would be the case even if there was no room available.

That’s why the saying “people and ghosts have different paths” has spread.

Wu Changyun was stunned when he heard this, but soon he said in a hurry, "Master, I am just an ordinary person, how can I know so much? But no matter what, absorbing the essence of the diners or other things, it has nothing to do with me!"

When the City God heard this, he fell silent.

He finally heard that Wu Changyun wanted to completely distance himself from Madam Wu.

It seems like he is worried about being implicated.

If that was the case, he probably understood why the other party had come to tell him before that Madam Wu was a witch.

I guess he's worried about being implicated.

The other party was a mortal after all, and he didn't know whether the incident of Madam Wu sucking the essence of other diners before was a big deal or a small one.

But it seems that Madam Wu has never harmed Wu Changyun.

When the City God thought of this, he glanced at Madam Wu below and was already thinking in his mind how to deal with Madam Wu.

"I wonder what you think about this matter?"

The City God thought about it and turned to look at Song Yunyuan beside him.

Song Yunyuan's skills were so great that the City God had to ask him a question, which was also a way to express his respect. Song Yunyuan was still drinking on the side, and he didn't expect the City God to suddenly ask him a question. He was stunned for a moment.

But soon Song Yunyuan came back to his senses, and chuckled, "I just came here to take a look. The Lord of the Mansion is the Yin God of this place, so it is up to the Lord of the Mansion to make the final decision."

Song Yunyuan didn't quite understand the laws of the underworld, so at this moment he just watched more and talked less.

As long as the other party's judgment is not particularly outrageous, I think there should be no problem.

The City God's expression relaxed slightly when he heard Song Yunyuan's words, and then he looked at Madam Wu and said, "Wu Changyun's previous death was an accident, but since Wu Changyun's life span has come to an end, he should go to the underworld to await judgment."

"You forcibly took away Wu Changyun's ghost for your own selfish reasons, disrupting the laws of the underworld. This is a crime."

"As for the fact that you absorbed the essence of the diners but did not harm others, I will not bother with you after careful consideration."

"But the fact that you have violated the laws of the underworld cannot be forgiven. According to the law, you should be imprisoned in the underworld for three years. Do you have any objection?"

After the City God finished speaking, Madam Wu felt relieved. If she was only to be tortured in the underworld for three years, then that would be nothing.

For fairies like these, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

"The little demon is willing to be punished."

Madam Wu bowed her head and accepted the punishment.

"As for you"

The City God turned his head and looked at Lu Xiyu. After thinking for a moment, he asked someone to bring up a mirror. "This is a clothing mirror. It is used to reflect your heart. If you have not done anything against heaven and earth, walk in front of this mirror."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiyu said nothing, but stood up and walked towards the mirror.

When Lu Xiyu came towards him, the mirror only emitted a faint red light and then disappeared.

Seeing this, the City God nodded slightly and said, "There is nothing unusual about the mirror. You can leave on your own."

When Lu Xiyu heard this, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

If that's the case, there should be nothing for him to do here.

As for Madam Wu, it should be no big deal if she is only sentenced to three years in prison.

"As for you, a mere mortal, what happens here really has nothing to do with you. You can leave on your own."

"However, when your life span runs out, the underworld officials will come looking for you again."

At this time, the City God finally turned his gaze back to Wu Changyun.

Logically speaking, the other party's original lifespan had been exhausted, but Madam Wu later extended his life.

If the life span is extended in this way, even the City God will naturally obey it.

When Wu Changyun heard this, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

This was almost what he had thought. No matter how the matter got out of hand, he, a mortal, was always innocent. The matter here had nothing to do with him, and the City God would not punish him.

Thinking of this, Wu Changyun hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the other party, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as Wu Changyun turned around, he felt his body lighten the next moment.

Wu Changyun sensed something was wrong and turned around, and saw a scene that shocked him.

I saw that his original physical body had fallen to the ground at some point, and at this moment he had turned into a ghost.

Seeing this situation, Wu Changyun just widened his eyes and looked terrified.

The City God, Wu Niangzi and other demon officials also noticed this scene at this moment.

Seeing this, Madam Wu couldn't help but smile helplessly, "Your body has already been damaged. If it weren't for me constantly nourishing it with my own Taoism, your body would have been damaged long ago, and your soul would have nowhere to rest."

"However, during today's battle, I was unable to nourish your body in time. Now you can no longer return to this damaged body."

Seeing Wu Changyun's face full of panic and confusion, Madam Wu also started to explain.

Hearing this, Wu Changyun suddenly panicked, "Then, then is there any other way? What will happen if my body is damaged like this?"

"How is it? Without a body, you are naturally a wandering ghost, and will naturally be captured by the underworld."

Lu Xiyu was standing aside and felt very happy when she saw this scene.

When Wu Changyun heard this, he was stunned. Then he quickly looked at Madam Wu beside him, with a pleading look on his face.

"Madam, can you help me one last time?"

"help?"

When Lu Xiyu heard this, she immediately flashed in front of Madam Wu, fearing that Madam Wu would soften her heart and agree again.

"Even if she helps you this time, what can it do? You need to nourish your body every day, and it consumes her power. Even if she helps you today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? She will be punished here, so how can she continue to nourish your body?"

Lu Xiyu's words stunned Wu Changyun.

He didn't know so much before, and now he felt confused after listening to it.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that he is dead now?

Moreover, in this situation, it seems that it is useless to ask Madam Wu for help.

If he needs to nourish his body every day, he will be locked up and punished. How can he continue to nourish his body?

So, he ruined his own life?

When Wu Changyun thought of this, he stood there in a daze.

"Tsk, it's really touching."

Song Yunyuan looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head and took a sip of the wine.

The City God has now given orders to other underworld officials to capture Wu Changyun.

Since the other party has become a wandering ghost, he is naturally under their control.

At this moment, the City God listened to Song Yunyuan's sigh and looked at him strangely, "He is just a heartless man. This government has seen many such things over the years."

"You have been practicing alone for many years, so you rarely see this kind of thing?"

Song Yunyuan shook his head upon hearing this. "That's not the case. It's just that I saw a demon not long ago, who risked his life on a mortal woman, and ended up with the same fate."

"Now seeing such a scene again, it is hard not to feel a little emotional."

After hearing what the City God said, Song Yunyuan immediately told him the story of the crazy woman.

After hearing this, the City God was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Song Yunyuan had encountered such a thing before.

Wu Changyun's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Song Yunyuan say that he could summon rain to bring spring back to dead trees.
