Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 339 The Zhu Family of Shangyu?

At first, I certainly didn't believe it. She was just playing games with the servants at home when she suddenly lost consciousness.

Only after Zhang Hua revealed his ghostly nature did they have no choice but to believe him.

The girl, who had been somewhat impulsive, suddenly burst into tears.

He said he hadn't seen anything yet, so how could he have died?

She didn't even have the tearful look of someone crying; this young lady is truly a person of deep feeling.

"If you keep crying, you'll attract ghosts."

Then it switches to soft, whimpering sobs, which is quite interesting.

As a reformed scholar, Zhang Hua has a strong sense of responsibility.

I helped the other person inquire about the possibility of reviving.

The woman immediately stopped being aroused and knelt down on the spot.

He started kowtowing rather rudely.

"I am a daughter of the Zhu family of Shangyu. If I can be brought back to life, I will build a shrine for you two to offer incense."

The Zhu family of Shangyu? Element capture.

"Is your mother's surname Shan?"

"Indeed, I didn't know you were here."

Zhu Yingtai was torn between joy and sorrow. Could it be that her mother had acquaintances in hell?
There are acquaintances, but it's not me.

Xu Xuan felt he had no choice but to intervene.

But Zhu Yingtai still had this ordeal?
It's hard to say, given all the things I've done in Jiangnan, how many people's fates I've changed.

She's never had much good luck to begin with, so it's normal for her to have another stroke of bad luck.

Furthermore, the fact that he stumbled again on the topic of marriage is a very reasonable subplot.

"Ahem, it's just that my workplace is not far from Shangyu, and I just happened to have heard about it."

"As for building a shrine to worship him, I don't need it. Let's build one for Zhang Hua. As a descendant of Marquis Liu, he didn't make any name for himself during his lifetime, so it would be good if he left some reputation after his death."

Zhang Hua blushed, then looked on with anticipation. Although restoring his ancestors' glory had become increasingly difficult since their deaths, he had at least done his best.

They began to seriously inquire about how to help the girl regain her life.

Two methods.

The first one, she hadn't yet entered the gates of hell, and still possessed lingering yang energy. She was a wild soul, wilder than any ghost could be.

Therefore, returning from the Yin-Yang realm allows one to revive their soul.

Zhang Hua looked embarrassed; this method was unlikely to work.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King is among the top demons in the eighteen levels of hell. He always captures people from the mortal realm and brings them to the underworld, never allowing the underworld to send people back to the mortal realm.

As for Master Xu, wasn't he the one who was killed while fighting demons and protecting the righteous path? He was probably no match for the Dharma King.

A person with a conscience wouldn't incite this matter just for the sake of burning incense.

The second method is that at this time, Zhu Yingtai's physical body in the mortal world is suffering from a condition of soul separation.

As long as the Zhu family hires a master to perform a ritual and use supernatural powers to bring the soul back directly from the underworld, they can simply return.

Whether it works or not depends on how powerful the sorcerer is.

To travel to the underworld, one must at least be at the third stage of Refining the Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.

Zhang Hua sighed again; it seemed he could only leave it to fate.

Zhu Yingtai sighed, realizing she was doomed.

In fact, Xu Xuan felt that the first method was highly feasible, as long as the right person was found.

Therefore, citing the danger of letting a little girl run around on the back side of Yinshan Mountain, he decided to take her with him to the Sixth Prison.

The Underworld team has gained another member.

Zhu Yingtai was a carefree girl. Knowing she didn't have many options left, she set off with the two kind people. It was definitely better than running around on her own.

They chattered away on the way, asking all sorts of questions; they'd certainly seen a lot of the world.

They continued walking and stopping, and according to Zhang Hua, they would reach the Bridge of Helplessness, the gateway to the Sixth Hell, in half a day.

On the way, they encountered a group of evil spirits who came to capture people, leading bronze snakes and iron dogs, looking very menacing.

The leader was a ghostly figure resembling an official, with curly hair, a hunched back, and an appearance of several hundred years old. His nostrils were turned upwards, and his short lips were parted, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs. The new members of the team were startled, initially mistaking him for the human trafficker, the Dharma King, who had come to abduct people.

Zhang Hua, on the other hand, was overjoyed. These bastards had been chasing him for a year, making a once respectable scholar look like a beggar in a sorry state.

Today, with my divine sword in hand and Master Xu by my side, I will surely avenge myself.

He drew the Nanming Yehuo Sword with a flourish and said resentfully:

"The one leading the group is an official from the Examination and Examination Office, whose status is only below that of King False Belly and Tiger Head Advisor."

Oh, so he's just a minor leader.

Don't worry about it, I'll back you up.

After getting the words he wanted, Zhang Hua's momentum surged, and he pointed his sword forward.

"You examination and punishment department is nothing but a creation of mountain spirits and wild monsters, and Xu Du is a lowly sinner who has been dismissed by the underworld."

"You old codger, you're nothing but a sycophant, a sycophantic opportunist. A beast in human skin, a complete idiot with an empty head. You aid and abet evil, and you deserve to be tormented by karmic fire!"

The curly-haired official was immediately embarrassed and angry. "How dare you curse like that, you little brat!"

Putting everything else aside, isn't this groveling an attack on appearance?

What angered him even more was that he was a good-for-nothing who bought his way into office, and the day after he put on the official robes, he was reported and lost his life.

Kicking a devil in the heart is just asking for death.

He charged forward with dozens of his men, yelling and shouting.

Actually, it's been operating within the cheating agency for many years and has its methods. It's just that it's been criticized to the point of losing its mind, which is why it made such a foolish head-on attack.

Besides Zhang Hua, the other two didn't seem unusual or have any special aura, so they were definitely not any powerful figures.

The curly-haired official came close and swung his claw, but it was blocked by a red, sword-shaped weapon.

Ugh?
what! ! ! ! !
Freshly made torch +1
Karmic fire is so domineering that any cultivator who can withstand its direct burning is a powerful being.

Then, with a few swift movements, they burned all the evil spirits to death; the scene was extremely brutal.

Zhu Yingtai now knows how she was rescued; it was amazing, and she feels incredibly safe.

She even wanted a sword like that, and really wanted to burn down her front door so she could run out and play.

Then a sense of gloom washed over him; he was already dead, so he shouldn't think about such trivial things.

After the fire was completely extinguished, Xu Xuan began to instruct on the cleanup of the site.

That's how Zhang Hua and Zhu Yingtai attended Master Xu's first class.

After cleaning up, we'll continue on our journey, hoping to find our senior brother soon and put our minds at ease.

There was no sunrise or sunset in the gray sky, and a quick calculation showed that the second day was about to end.

Today was a relatively peaceful day; I only wiped out the entire Liang Prince's family and a few dozen evil spirits in the surrounding area, keeping a very low profile.

Hopefully, things will remain peaceful from now on.

Within the seventh great prison, there is an official residence situated amidst mountains of knives.

The government office buildings were not very spacious, with only one tall and large hall.

Two stone tablets stand on the east and west sides of the hall, with large characters engraved on them and painted green. One is inscribed with "filial piety, brotherly love, loyalty and trustworthiness", and the other with "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame".

Above the main hall hangs a plaque with the large characters "Examination Office". On the pillars hang a couplet with green characters carved on a wooden board. The first line reads: "School, Order, and Academy, these two words embody virtue and teach virtue in secret". The second line reads: "Superior, middle, and inferior scholars, this hall is filled with students of rites and music."

There were a dozen or so people standing on both sides to serve, most of them looking ferocious and menacing, like mountain spirits and monsters.

The advisor, with a tiger's head and a human body, hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Master, the official has already been annihilated."

The official sitting at the head of the table straightened his hat and adjusted his official robes.

Despite his face being distorted beyond recognition, he was still trying his best to imitate the demeanor of a true leader.

He said in a calm and unhurried tone, "Although the Sixth Prison is Lord Black Mountain's territory, my Examination Department was once an official office under King Yama."

"Let's go and come back quickly."

Black mist filled the entire Examination Bureau, and then the entire government office flew up and headed straight for the Sixth Prison.

　Alright, alright, Zhu Yingtai has arrived too. The Butterfly Lovers saga is complete!!! The theme is solved!!!
