Chapter 418: Ghost Messenger Ma Wuliu

At this moment, the Yin banknotes falling from the sky all burst into flames, turning into wisps of green smoke that drifted around.

Although Hang Sui didn't know what Xiao Ran was going to do, he noticed that the blood and fire Xiao Ran threw out did not target the second in command and Li Jie.

This gave Hang Sui a bad feeling in his heart.

"Gululu!!!"

At this time, the corpse gas under their feet was emitting bubbles as big as beans, like boiling water.

"This is……"

Seeing this, Hang Sui's heart skipped a beat. He saw that there seemed to be a hand in the corpse gas climbing up along their legs.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, even a fool would realize that there was a big problem here. He roared and was about to raise the [God-Locking Whip] given to him by Xiao Ran and whip it at the soles of his feet.

However, the whip was of no use to the black shadow, and was instead grabbed by the black shadow.

Then the shadow laughed, "Use a broken God-Locking Whip to whip the ghost messenger. You are so cute, boy."

As the words fell, a shadow quickly covered Hang Sui's entire body. The original corpse energy on Hang Sui and the others twisted and turned into a set of black and white robes that covered them.

"You haven't been here for a long time, Zhou family?"

The black-clad ghost who occupied Hang Sui's body twisted his neck and seemed particularly satisfied with the body in front of him.

Turn around and look at Xiao Ran.

Just this one look made the ghost messenger stunned.

"Hey, you're not from the Zhou family."

Xiao Ran nodded: "I am not from the Zhou family, but I will take over the Zhou family's debt!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran took out the [Tongyou Seal] from the space and held it in his hand.

"You picked it up!"

Upon hearing this, several ghost officials were shocked and huddled together, whispering something.

They spoke loudly, but Xiao Ran couldn't understand a word they said.

"Who are you? The Zhou family's seal is a privilege granted by the underworld. Why do you accept it?"

"The Zhou family is so bold that they want to shirk their debt by finding a scapegoat. Aren't they afraid that the whole family will go to hell?"

"Boy, hand over the seal. It is not your turn to take it. If you give it back to us, we can spare your life and we will not care about your crime of summoning the ghost messenger without permission."

Xiao Ran frowned when he heard this. He summoned these ghost messengers to work for him, not to collect debts for him.

I think they regard themselves as scapegoats for the Zhou family to pay off their debts.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran snorted coldly: "Everyone, I took this seal, of course I have my reasons. This guy gathered evil to form a situation and disturbed the yin and yang. You ignore him, why do you still want to take my seal?"

"presumptuous!!"

Several ghost officials shouted angrily in unison, and the surrounding evil spirits trembled immediately. The yin energy transformed by the red and white evil spirits was turned over in an instant and was no longer under human control. There were even signs that the corpse pool was shattered.

"Who do you think you are? You dare to argue with us. The Zhou family seal can only be received by someone from the Zhou family. Outsiders are not qualified."

"How can those old fools in the Zhou family not even understand such a principle? I think they are deliberately evading their debts."

As they spoke, several ghost officials raised the mourning sticks in their hands, looking ready to take action.

The leading ghost slowed down his tone and said, "Little brother, there are some things that cannot be touched. Hand over the seal and we will not make it difficult for you."

The second in command and Li Jie were not possessed by ghosts. They were quite happy to see Xiao Ran summon a group of ghost officials.

But I didn't expect that when these ghost officials came, they would target Xiao Ran instead.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran frowned for a moment, stretched out his hand and retrieved the [Evil-Suppressing Order] from the corpse pool and held it in his hand.

"Your Excellency, look carefully at what this is!"

When they saw the Evil-Suppressing Order in Xiao Ran's hand, several ghost officials were also startled and looked carefully with their eyes wide open.

"The Evil-Suppressing Order? This thing is in your hand? You are..."

"I am Xiao Ran, a leatherworker from Yinxing."

Hearing Xiao Ran introduce himself, the ghost officials looked at each other and muttered to themselves for a while.

After a moment, the leading ghost came forward and said, "Haha, Xiao Zhenye, who are you?"

"That's my grandpa."

"Oh."

The ghost almost nodded: "That's right."

But his face darkened immediately afterwards: "How dare you! Your grandfather's secret stay in the mortal world has not yet been judged by the higher-ups. Since you have taken over your grandfather's job, you should know that your grandfather's secret stay in the mortal world disturbs the yin and yang. You are breaking the law knowingly, and your crime is even more serious!"

The corner of Xiao Ran's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt annoyed.

Pointing at the sedan chair in front of him that was hidden in the red and white evil spirit, he said, "You don't care about this thing that kills people, but you care about me instead?"

"Let's put it this way. Even if you are a leatherworker, it is not your turn to take over the paper-binder's things. Give me the seal, and we will slowly settle the rest with you."

After hearing this, Xiao Ran finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore and took out the [Guillotine] from the space and held it across his hand.

"Damn it, if you guys don't care today, I'll do it myself."

Xiao Ran was really angry, as if he had met a bad guy. After reporting to the police, the police didn't care about the matter. They first questioned him and finally told him that his procedures were wrong. He was fined? Or else he would be detained first?

So, the tradition of resolving problems first before solving them has been passed down from the bottom up like this? ?

However, the moment Xiao Ran took out the guillotine, several ghost officials were suddenly shocked.

"Guillotine? From the Fang family?" The leading ghost widened his eyes, stared at the knife in Xiao Ran's hand, and unconsciously took two steps back.

There are four major Yin professions: execution, coroner, corpse sewing and paper tying, with execution being the first.

This knife has been passed down through generations and now falls into Xiao Ran's hands. It is filled with vicious evil spirits, and even these ghost officials are afraid of it.

"Wait a minute, little brother!"

The ghost hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal Xiao Ran not to take any action, then carefully moved forward and glanced vigilantly at the big knife in Xiao Ran's hand.

"May I ask, little brother, do you have the Yin-Yang Eyes?"

Xiao Ran's eyes widened: "It's natural!"

"Oh! Wait a minute, wait a minute."

A few ghost messengers turned around and started chattering again. Ghosts talk nonsense and living people can't understand them.

But you can see that the expressions on each ghost's face are different.

After a moment, the leading ghost officer bowed to Xiao Ran and said, "Ghost officer Ma Liuwu is here to receive orders!"

This attitude was a complete 180-degree change compared to before. Not to mention the Second in Command and Li Jie, even Xiao Ran couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"This...you don't want to take it?" Xiao Ran shook the [Passing Seal] in his hand.

"How dare you? The plum blossom lineage has passed down four branches. It has been stated long ago that the four branches will eventually return to the plum blossom lineage. Karma is a destiny, and the underworld has already made it known."

If Xiao Ran only had the Tongyou Seal and Zhen'e Order in his hand, then the ghost catcher would have to take the seals back today no matter what.

Maybe you don’t understand why?
But for the ghost catcher, the debt owed by the Zhou family is the cause and effect of the Zhou family.

If the seal can be passed to others at will and asked to pay off the debt and replace the cause and effect, regardless of whether this is fair, this itself is a blasphemy to the underworld.

Even if in reality you borrow money from a bank, get rich with the country's money, and then turn around and set up a shell company to escape and run away with the money, the country will still punish you.

Not to mention the underworld.

But when Xiao Ran took out the [Guillotine] and admitted that he was born with the ability to see Yin and Yang, the situation became different.

When Meihua was passing on his teachings, he had already said that if one day the Four Lines were no longer needed, the abilities of the Four Lines would have to be taken back.

This was a rule that had been set long ago. Since Xiao Ran had all the characteristics of the four elements, he was arguably a member of the Plum Blossom lineage. The only thing missing was an official notification.

But this small flaw does not affect Xiao Ran's identity.

Therefore, the cause and effect of the Zhou family was transferred to the Meihua lineage. In the eyes of the ghost, this was legal and reasonable.

They all turned around immediately, their expressions changed again, and they stared at the sedan chair inside the red and white evil spirits with wide eyes.

"You are so bold as to disturb the yin and yang. You deserve to be punished. Why don't you kneel down and face the punishment?"

After saying that, they all raised the white sticks in their hands and hit forward.

This mourning stick wrapped with white strips looked like an ordinary wooden stick, but when it fell into the hands of the red and white evil spirits, a cold phosphorous fire ignited on it, and there was a loud "bang".

Suddenly the red evil spirits exploded, the white evil spirits retreated, and the sedan chair hiding behind was shattered into pieces.

A dark figure stood up and ran away.

"Where to go!"

A ghost threw out an iron chain, which pierced through the void and directly tied up the opponent.

Xiao Ran stood aside and looked at the stick and iron chain in the ghost's hand, and couldn't help but feel envious.

It's fine if it's a funeral stick, but those iron chains are complete God-Locking Whips, and their power is completely on a different level from the one in his hand.

As soon as the iron chains were closed, the bride was seen tied to the ground, staring at Xiao Ran with resentment on her face.

"The way of heaven is so unfair, there is no justice at all! It's so unfair, I won't accept it!"

It looked like the bride, but the voice that spoke was actually a man's.

"Don't accept? I'll beat you to hell and see if you accept it."

The ghost waved his mourning stick and hit him.

Just one blow of the stick was enough to make the bride's eyes blaze with fire, smoke coming out of her mouth and nose, and she fell to the ground trembling.

It can be seen that these ghost officials are very domineering and never reason with these sneaky ghosts.

Once you fall into the hands of these ghost officials, it's fine if you behave yourself. But if you don't, they will beat you to death with a few sticks and they won't be responsible.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing that these ghost officials were going to continue fighting, Xiao Ran hurriedly called out to them to stop.

"I have something to ask... him!"

Xiao Ran couldn't tell for the moment whether the person in front of him was a man or a woman, so he simply called her "him".

"Just ask the boss. If this thing is not honest, I can do it for you."

The leading ghost officer walked up to Xiao Ran with a smile and said, "We are well versed in this. We have nine methods, nine methods!! We guarantee that he will be completely obedient. We will tell him everything we know."

I don’t know why, but although Xiao Ran felt relaxed when facing the ghost messenger who was trying to please him, he had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, as if he was the bad guy. He felt very uncomfortable.

He walked up to the bride, who was already shaking all over after being hit with a stick, and asked, "Who set this up for you?"

Although the meeting of the Red and White Devils is evil, for them to succeed, they must have help from others.

Xiao Ran was very curious about who the other party was and how he could have such means.

The bride raised her head, her eyes were hollow, and her face showed a bit of sadness: "I don't know who is helping me, I just hate the injustice of heaven and the fickleness of the world! Even if I become a ghost, I didn't expect that I can't be worth the words power and money..."

Xiao Ran was not angry when he heard this. He just looked at the bride calmly and said, "What if I can help you get revenge..."
