The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 262: First Visit to Yama Palace

Yan Lanlan sat lazily on the sofa in the living room. She strangled Luo Fan's neck with one hand and slowly lifted Luo Fan's body up.

Luo Fan was gradually strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. He had no strength to struggle and could only feel his feet hanging in the air and his brain gradually suffocating.

Xia Yu hadn't arrived yet, but her red thread had already sneaked into the ninth floor.

One end of the "universal marriage thread" was tied to Yan Lan's wrist, and the other end was tied to Xia Yu's wrist.

Xia Yu never thought that one day she would use the "universal marriage thread" to deal with Yan Lan, but she was indeed forced by the situation.

"Xiao Lan... stop it."

Xia Yu stopped Yan Lan in a stern voice.

Under the effect of the "Universal Marriage Thread", Yan Lan obediently let go of her hand, but it was already a step too late.

Luo Fan had already stopped breathing, his eyes were lightly closed, and his body fell softly from the air.

"Luo Fan!"

Xia Yu hurriedly flew over to catch Luo Fan. She wanted to cast a spell to save Luo Fan, but her spell was completely ineffective.

His...heart stopped!
"Xiao Lan...save him quickly!" Xia Yu hurriedly called Yan Lan.

Yan Lan's eyes were full of Xia Yu at this time, and the look in her eyes was ambiguous. However, she was secretly jealous when she saw that she cared so much about Luo Fan.

Hearing Xia Yu's request, Yan Lan immediately cast a spell to rescue Luo Fan, but now no matter how much magic power he input, it would be in vain.

"Luo Fan... wake up!" Xia Yu was so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears, but she forced herself not to let the tears fall. She believed that Luo Fan would not die.

At least, with her around, she wouldn't let him die.

Elixir...

She also has an elixir...

Xia Yu has a golden elixir hidden in her palm, but after eating the elixir, Luo Fan will become an immortal, so she has been hesitant.

Does Luo Fan want to become an immortal?
Is he willing to leave the mortal world and his family?
While Xia Yu was hesitating, Luo Fan's soul had already left his body. He looked at Xia Yu hugging his body in horror.

I... I'm dead?

Luo Fan hurriedly looked at his now transparent body, and then looked at Xia Yu who was crying uncontrollably.

He reached out to wipe away her tears, but his hand went straight through Xia Yu's face and he couldn't touch her.

Xia Yu felt it, slowly raised her head, looked at Luo Fan's soul, shook her head and cried: "Don't go..."

"Xiao Lan, is there any way to save him?" Xia Yu asked Yan Lan with tears in her eyes.

Luo Fan's soul also looked at Yan Lan, and he also discovered that the look in Yan Lan's eyes when he looked at Xia Yu was unusual at this moment.

Yan Lan sensed that the Black and White Impermanence were already nearby, and their speed was shocking. He replied to Xia Yu, "The ghosts who died unjustly will be examined after arriving at the Gate of Hell. Those who died unjustly will go through the City of the Dead and directly to the Hall of Yama to be judged by my father. If their life span is not over, they can return to the world of the living."

After hearing that he could still come back to life, Xia Yu silently took back the elixir that was floating out of his hand.

The bells rang deafeningly.

The tools used by the Black and White Impermanence to claim lives are a withered stick and a soul-catching lock, one end of which is black and the other end is white, with a bell on it. When one of them shakes the withered stick in his hand, the bell in the other's hand will also ring, so as to inform each other.

The villa was shrouded in a gloomy aura. With the sound of bells, the Black and White Impermanence arrived. Seeing Yan Lan was also there, they first called out to her, "Princess."

"This man died in vain. Don't take him to the underworld. Send him directly to the City of Unjust Death." Yan Lan said with some guilt.

Hei Wuchang looked at Luo Fan's soul calmly and said, "Whether it was an unjust death or not is not up to the princess to judge, nor is it up to us to judge. The gates of hell will have their own adults to judge."

"Let's go!" Bai Wuchang pushed Luo Fan's soul.

Luo Fan looked at them in shock, is this... Black and White Impermanence?
It doesn't look as scary as the legend says, except that its expression is a little more serious, not much different from those scary NPCs in the haunted house.

Luo Fan had no idea that what he saw was just one of the many faces of the Black and White Impermanence.

Xia Yu cast a spell to move Luo Fan's body to the sofa and made him lie down. Seeing that the Black and White Impermanence were about to take Luo Fan away, she also grabbed Yan Lan's hand and said seriously: "I'm going too."

Yan Lan was going home, but Xia Yu...

"You can't go to the underworld just because you want to. Even if you are a god, you can't go there without permission." He looked at Xia Yu coldly and said. Hearing this, Luo Fan also looked at Xia Yu worriedly and shook his head at her, hoping that she would not insist on going to the underworld with him.

Xia Yu didn't care. She pulled Yan Lan's hand and signaled Yan Lan to help her.

Yan Lan immediately smiled and said, "Let's go, Xia Yu is my friend in the fairy world, why not invite her to my house to play?"

……

【gate of hell】

Looking closer, it is an archway with three big characters "Ghost Gate" engraved in bold and powerful strokes. On both sides, there are 18 ghost kings and little ghosts guarding the gate. The barrier is as strong as a solid wall and unbreakable.

At Yan Lan's request, the Black and White Impermanence took Luo Fan through the "VIP" channel of the mortal world. Without queuing, they came directly before the Ghost King for inspection.

At this time, there was a long queue nearby. They all held passes in their hands and one by one underwent "pass" inspection and "lifelong good and evil" review. Only after passing both items could they enter the Ghost Gate.

Luo Fan was open-minded, unlike Xia Yu who was frowning. After passing the examination and entering the City of Wrongful Death, he actually started chatting with the Black and White Impermanence.

"Hey, brother, what were those ghosts queuing outside the Ghost Gate holding in their hands?"

Black Impermanence: "Pass to the Underworld."

Luo Fan: "Then why don't I have any?"

Hei Wuchang didn't want to talk to Luo Fan anymore. Bai Wuchang smiled and continued, "We went too early. You haven't had a funeral in the mortal world yet. During the funeral, a Taoist priest will perform a ritual to apply for a 'pass to the underworld' for the dead souls, guiding them to the gates of hell."

Yan Lan took Xia Yu's arm affectionately, and they walked behind the Black and White Impermanence. Seeing Luo Fan chatting with them, she couldn't help but wonder, "Is he so scared that he's chatting with the Black and White Impermanence?"

There were many ghosts walking around in the City of the Dead, all of them were escorted by little ghosts.

The Black and White Impermanence teleported with Luo Fan and soon arrived in front of the King of Hell.

[Yama Palace]

According to the request of the Black and White Impermanence, Xia Yu and Yan Lan had to wait outside the hall first, and they could only go in after the King of Hell's judgment result came out.

So, the Black and White Impermanence brought Luo Fan into the hall first.

The legend says that "the King of Hell has a fair face, wears a crown with tassels on his head, has incense bags hanging from both sides of his ears, wears a long robe with a lotus leaf collar and wide sleeves, wears boots on his feet, holds a hu in front of his chest with both hands, and sits upright."

The legend...is not deceiving me.

At first glance, Luo Fan was frightened by the stern face and eyes of the King of Hell, and was at a loss for a moment. It was only after the Black and White Impermanence kicked him that he was forced to kneel down.

"Greetings...Greetings to the King of Hell..." Luo Fan kowtowed immediately.

The King of Hell asked loudly, "Who is kneeling? Tell me your name."

"My name is... Luo Fan. Lord Yama, I am wronged! Please judge me!" Luo Fan said while kowtowing.

"Leave me here, bring the Book of Life and Death!" the King of Hell ordered.

After getting the Book of Life and Death, the King of Hell flipped through the pages one by one, and finally came across Luo Fan's name. He read it out unconsciously: "Luo Fan... was born... died... died at the age of 100... died of old age?"

After hearing this, Luo Fan was shocked: What? I can live to be a hundred years old? Is this true?
"Greetings...Father."

Yan Lan was dragged by Xia Yu into the Yama Hall. She also knelt down in the hall, looked at the King of Hell guiltily, and kowtowed nervously like Luo Fan.

Then, Xia Yu stepped forward and knelt beside Luo Fan, and also bowed respectfully to the King of Hell: "Xia Yu pays respect to the King of Hell."

"Bold Xia Yu, why do you trespass into the underworld instead of being a fairy in heaven?" the King of Hell said angrily.

Seeing this, Yan Lan quickly explained: "Father, I brought her here."

"My son, you step back first." The King of Hell ordered Yan Lan.

The Lord of Hell's move was exactly what Yan Lan wanted, but as soon as she stood up, she heard Xia Yu say again: "Lord of Hell, Xia Yu did not intentionally trespass into the underworld. Luo Fan was strangled to death by Yan Lan, which was really unfair. Forced by the situation, Xia Yu can only meet the Lord of Hell and plead in person."

Upon hearing this, Lord Yan looked at Yan Lan and asked, "Is this true?"

Yan Lan lowered her head nervously and whispered, "Yes...I killed him."

"Why did you kill someone?" The King of Hell asked Yan Lan sternly.
