Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 281 Mutual Love. (Third Update!)

Feeling the chilling and majestic aura emanating from the portal closest to him, and gazing at the nine descending portals, Mu Xiangu was terrified and felt as if he were about to die.

All nine doors were tightly closed at this moment. However, the mere aura emanating from them was enough for her to feel that the world behind them was more terrifying than death and more hopeless than the annihilation of one's soul!
She had a strong intuition that once she fell into any of these traps, she would be plunged into an eternal torment of being unable to live or die!

These are the entrances to hell!

At this moment, seeing that Mu Xiangu was stunned with fear, Zheng Que nodded with great satisfaction. The time was almost right. Apart from the Tongue-Pulling Hell, the others in these hells were just for show.

Of course, it's more than enough to scare away ghosts.

Just as Zheng Que was about to speak, Mu Xiangu finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly kowtowed, saying, "My lord! My lord, please let this humble woman explain!"

"These two female ghosts don't understand anything at all."

"Just now, when I approached that human cultivator, it wasn't to kill him, but... but..."

At this point, Mu Xiangu's mind raced, and her face was filled with anxiety. But soon, she thought of a ready-made reason and blurted out, "It's because this young lady has fallen in love with that human cultivator!"

"This humble woman was just lying on that human cultivator's bed!"

"The whole thing was clearly a case of a young woman and a human cultivator falling in love and being mutually attracted. As the saying goes, neither of them were married, and it was perfectly normal for them to be intimate under the flowers and moon."

"These two female ghosts, as the ghost servants of that human cultivator, are clearly jealous of the young woman's relationship with him. Therefore, they deliberately slander her. It's utterly malicious and malicious!"

"Your Honor, please see the truth! These two female ghosts should be cast into the eighteenth level of hell, subjected to all kinds of tortures, and never be reincarnated..."

She stumbled a bit at first when she came up with this quick-thinking idea, but the more she talked, the more confident she became, as if she and Zheng Que were truly inseparable and deeply in love, but had been framed by Qing Li and Ku Lan.

???

Zheng Que was stunned for a moment. Mu Xiangu was lying on his bed?

Wasn't the one he was cultivating with on the bed just now Ku Lan?

and many more!

While he was cultivating, he felt that the texture of the withered orchid was a little off...

Moreover, when he cultivated with Ku Lan before, it took him about half an hour to enter the underworld.

This time, however, he only cultivated for a short time before entering the dilapidated palace prematurely due to absorbing too much yin energy.

The "withered orchid" I just saw was actually Mu Xian Gu?!
Yes!

Judging from what Qingli and Kulan said, these two ghost servants had just fought with Mu Xiangu.

But he had no memory of this at all in reality!

Given the current situation, it is very likely that he has been misled by the Wanshan Temple in reality!
strangeness……

Lu Maohong had told him that once someone was bewitched in Wanshan Temple, they would lose the corresponding memories.

But his memory of what happened just now was very clear.

Is there any rule in this Wanshan Temple that Lu Maohong hasn't mentioned?

Just as he was thinking this, Ku Lan, who was kneeling next to Mu Xiangu, suddenly shouted angrily, "My lord! This 'Painted Skin' female ghost is just making excuses!"

"He definitely wants to use divination on that human cultivator to seize his destiny and fortune, thereby stepping on that human cultivator to ascend to immortality on his own..."

"I've seen plenty of female ghosts like this!" "I implore you, sir, to investigate thoroughly and immediately cast this 'painted skin' ghost into the eighteenth level of hell..."

Qingli, unusually, echoed Kulan's words. Without even looking at Mu Xiangu's face, she said directly, "That's right! My lord, this 'Painted Skin' ghost is definitely lying."

"This female ghost looks like a deformed gourd, a complete freak, and she doesn't look honest at all!"

"In terms of looks, this female ghost is far inferior to me!"

"That human cultivator isn't blind, how could he not be moved by such a beautiful woman as me, and instead fall in love with an ugly ghost?"

"This kind of female ghost, who never utters a single word of truth, should be cast into the eighteenth level of hell..."

Seeing that the two female ghosts were still complaining about her, Mu Xiangu quickly said, "My lord! This woman is of good character and every word she has said is true and there is absolutely no falsehood in it!"

"If you don't believe me, sir, you can send a messenger from the underworld to that human cultivator's bedroom to see for yourself..."

Hearing this, Zheng Que came to his senses. Seeing that the three female ghosts were about to continue arguing, he immediately said, "Quiet!"

The sound of thunder rolled down the vast hall, and the three-headed female ghost below immediately shut her mouth, and for a moment there was no sound.

Zheng Que glanced at the black aura between his brows and spoke again, "Qing Li, Ku Lan, you two step back."

As soon as the words were spoken, a mist surged out, instantly engulfing Qingli and Kulan's figures.

When the fog dissipated, only Mu Xiangu was kneeling alone in the vast hall.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que closed the Book of Life and Death. The darkness beneath the steps, along with the nine portals spiraling downwards within it, quietly disappeared, restoring the original appearance.

The hellish aura that terrified and horrified the ghosts dissipated.

Zheng Que raised his head, looked down at Mu Xiangu kneeling on the ground, and solemnly said, "I am discerning and fair, and will dispatch underworld officials to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"If you and that human cultivator are truly in love and mutually attracted, then you can be considered to have reformed and turned over a new leaf."

"Past sins can be wiped clean and will not be pursued again!"

"However, if I discover that you are not truly sincere towards that human cultivator, or even harbor malicious intentions towards him, or if that human cultivator suddenly dies..."

"Then, I will certainly hold you accountable!"

"At that time, your crimes will be punished together, and you will be cast into the eighteenth level of hell to suffer all kinds of tortures, never to be reincarnated..."

"understand?"

Seeing that the person on the steps had finally relented, Mu Xiangu was almost overjoyed and cried tears of joy. She quickly kowtowed several times before saying gratefully, "This humble woman understands! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Zheng Que nodded slightly and calmly ordered, "Step back."

Mu Xiangu's figure disappeared into the mist, leaving Zheng Que alone in the dilapidated palace.

After looking around, he finally relaxed, his straight back relaxed, he leaned back and slumped into the crippled armchair, waiting quietly.

A moment later, the last wisp of black energy between his brows was absorbed by the Book of Life and Death, and the surrounding scenery rippled like water, instantly returning him to his guest room at Wanshan Temple.

As soon as Zheng Que returned to reality, he saw a pair of charming yet sharp bright eyes staring straight at him.
