Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 44: Evil Shadow Play. (First update!)

In the dilapidated hall, Zheng Que opened his eyes. At this moment, the negative energy between his brows surged like an ink-black waterfall, continuously sinking into the spread-out [Book of Life and Death].

Seeing himself suddenly enter the underworld, Zheng Que's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked at his name on the [Book of Life and Death] in front of him.

"...Zheng Que. Birthplace: Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 16 years, 8 months, 28 days."

The life span has increased by forty-nine days!
Zheng Que breathed a sigh of relief. This disaster was finally over!
However, there will be another disaster after forty-nine days.

This disaster seems to come a little too frequently. I wonder if it is the same for other cultivators?
Thinking of this, Zheng Que glanced at the black energy between his eyebrows. He entered the underworld this time not because he absorbed the Yin energy through cultivation, but because he fell into a coma after the Yin energy invaded his body.

"So many names..."

"Everyone else in Changfu Town must be dead."

"I wonder what that bone hand is, exactly?"

While thinking, Zheng Que began to browse the [Book of Life and Death] in front of him.

On the first page of the [Book of Life and Death], there are now densely packed names, starting with "Xu Houde", all of which were newly added this evening.

Just as Zheng Que was thinking this, the [Book of Life and Death] suddenly flipped open on its own.

Wow... Wow...

The yellowed page stopped at the third page.

At the beginning of this page, a new record slowly emerged.

"Category: Evil."

"Species: Evil Shadow Play."

"Real name: None."

"Native Place: Xuetongguan."

"Lifespan in the Yin: Nine hundred and fifty years."

"Yin Duty: Yin Messenger (dispatched)."

"Term of office: half a decade."

Evil shadow play?
Looking at this newly recorded information, Zheng Que was slightly stunned.

But he soon realized that this was the huge bony hand that almost took his life!

He just forcibly conferred a title on the other party, so the other party's name appeared in the [Book of Life and Death]?

This is actually an "evil"!
Unlike other names, this record only has "kind" and "species", no real name.

This may not be a ghost transformed from a living person after death, but a natural ghost!

In addition, for some unknown reason, this name did not appear on the first page of the [Book of Life and Death], but appeared directly on the third page.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que suddenly sneered and immediately shouted at the name, "Xie Yingxi!"

"Evil Shadow Play!"

"Evil Shadow Play..."

He was afraid that [Evil Shadow Play] wouldn't hear his orders, so he called out seven or eight times in a row. Soon, a thick fog appeared in the hall. As the fog quickly spread, a figure appeared within. It was a pale, bony hand with seven fingers, looking sinister and cold. It was [Evil Shadow Play]!
However, in the real world, this [Evil Shadow Play] looked enormous, its seven fingers spread out to easily cover an entire town. But in this dilapidated palace, it was just a seven-fingered bone hand the size of a mortal palm, supported by a single brick.

As soon as he appeared in this strange place, Bone Hand quickly looked around.

Soon, the entire body of the bone hand froze.

It saw a surging sea of ​​blood above it, strangely suspended in the sky, transforming into a surging, blood-red dome. The dome swirled like a gigantic funnel, its center a dark expanse, like a calamity.

The towering palace was gloomy and dark, its pitch-black pillars carved with the hideous faces of countless demons and devils. A thick fog of yin energy, condensed into a substance, swirled around them, swirling like clouds and casting a shadow. Deep within the fog, there seemed to be a dead silence, yet it also seemed to be filled with a variety of voices. The sound of chains rustling approached, as if at any moment, countless shackles would appear from under their heads, locking them up layer by layer and dragging them into a forbidden abyss.

Above it, on the mountain-like Danchi, sat a huge and majestic figure!

That figure seemed to be the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth, as if it was the final destination of all living things, emitting boundless death, despair, and silence...

He sat there quietly, the hem of his dark robe fluttering like drooping clouds and mountains. Even with all his strength, his bony hands could only reveal his shoes peeking out from the hem of his robe.

The dark background is covered with golden lines, and the glow of karmic fire is surging in the red gold lines.

After just a quick glance, [Evil Shadow Play] withdrew his gaze as if he had been electrocuted. His entire pale bone hand had the illusion of burning instantly, as if the karmic fire was about to follow his sight, penetrate the void, and burn it completely!

A strong aura of death, despair, and the end enveloped his entire body. [Evil Shadow Play] was horrified and immediately used his left and rightmost finger bones as support. The five middle finger bones were all bent and pressed against the ground, as if he was "kneeling down."

Under the overwhelming fear, [Evil Shadow Play] trembled all over, and the sound of bones hitting the floor tiles was particularly loud in the silent temple.

It hurriedly forced itself to stop trembling and dared not move at all.

Outside, this ghost is very powerful!

But here, there is no difference between [Evil Shadow Play] and Qingli, the ghost servant of [Tongue-Pulling Prison].

Snapped!
At this moment, Zheng Que slammed the table and shouted majestically, "You daring brat! Do you admit your guilt?"

His words spread far and wide in the hall, like rolling thunder, with echoes cascading and vibrating, stirring up tremendous power, even the vortex of the sea of ​​blood above the hall was moved. The sea of ​​blood roared and surged, countless corpses of sinners, bones, and shackles floated on the waves, and dense traces of punishment flashed in the blood, conveying a majestic coldness and malice.

bang bang bang bang...

[Evil Shadow Play] didn't dare to neglect it at all. He kowtowed ten times in a row, and then tremblingly said, "Sir... spare... my life... Sir... spare... my life!"

This "evil" has reached a very high level of cultivation and has long possessed intelligence, but it seems to speak very little. Its voice is hoarse and its pronunciation is strange.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...

As soon as he finished speaking, [Xie Yingxi] kowtowed desperately again, as if he was afraid that if he kowtowed too slowly, he would not even have the chance to continue kneeling here.

For a moment, the "evil" that seemed to have destroyed the world in Changfu Town just now wanted to smash its bones against His Highness. It looked as humble as dust, no different from the lowest-level "grudge".

Looking at this scene, Zheng Que smiled coldly. He was almost killed by this thing outside just now!
How could he let the other party go so easily now?

Zheng Que then coldly scolded him, "Evil ghost! Since ancient times, humans and ghosts have been separated. As an 'evil ghost', you have appeared in a place where mortals live without permission. This is a crime."

"You have eroded the shadows of mortals and harmed innocent people. This is a double sin."

"You destroyed the town, causing great suffering and reducing homes to ruins. These are the third sins."

"More importantly, you actually persecuted the Man of Heaven's Will and attempted to bring chaos to the world. You are guilty of multiple crimes and are guilty of grave offenses. Such perverse actions are extremely heinous and unforgivable!"

"You will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell, suffering all kinds of punishment, and then be sent to the animal realm, never to be reborn!"
