Hei Wuchang did not sit down immediately, but looked at the others first.

Jiang Luo immediately reacted, thinking that Hei Wuchang didn't want too many people here and volunteered, "Brother Black, if you don't like it, then let the others go out first?"

Hei Wuchang shook his head and asked, "Are these friends of Sai Gongzi?"

"Right." Jiang Luo introduced the others.

Hei Wuchang nodded silently and, after memorising each one, solemnly gave them an ancient salute of thanks, "Thank you all for taking care of Sai Gongzi in general."

Ge Zhu and the others hurriedly returned the salute, following the example of the gourd, "No thanks, no thanks."

But as soon as they finished bowing, they realised who this god was and why he was thanking them for Sai Liaoer.

They were puzzled, but Hei Wuchang was already sitting on the sofa, his back straight, looking at Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo pushed down the feeling that something was wrong and told Hei Wuchang what had happened.

Hei Wuchang pondered for a moment, "Why the dead?"

Jiang Luo said, "Teng Bi."

Hei Wuchang lost his smile, "Mr. Jiang, I was asking about his birth date. What year, month and day he was born, and what year, month and day he died."

Jiang Luo was silent as he turned his head to Lu Youyi, who shook his head in bewilderment.

They don't know Teng Bi's date of birth.

"Is the date of death the date he died in the Dragon Vein?"

Hei Wuchang said, "No, it was the day he died when he became a living death."

Then they know even less.

Jiang Luo had a headache and he rubbed his brow, "Brother Black, if you find his birth date and date of death, will you be able to bring him back to life?"

Hei Wuchang has always been strict, and Jiang Luo was a little apprehensive to ask because he was afraid that he would never do anything that would violate working order.

Hei Wuchang, however, said enlightenedly, "We use extraordinary methods in extraordinary places. The dead will not become ghosts in this place, so naturally there is no need for us to manage them. Over time, Hall of Hades will not waste its manpower to collect the spirits of the dead in the Dragon Veins, because it will not be able to collect any. Therefore, no matter who is alive or dead in the Dragon Veins, alive and dead or dead and alive again, they will not be noticed by the Hall of Hades. This is about what you saw in the tomb, 'The initiation can still be expected to be alive'."

"But your friend is a living dead, that is the fortunate thing in misfortune, he has already died once, the time and place when his living soul becomes dead is not in the dragon vein, the soul has long since belonged to the hell, it is not afraid of being suppressed by the dragon vein."

Jiang Luo was thoughtful as he smiled, "No wonder I didn't see Brother Black when I died in the Dragon's Eye, you had said before that you would come to my door personally to retrieve the chains on my soul when I died, I was thinking of accommodating with you to let me off the hook."

Hei Wuchang was surprised, "You died once?"

He looked at Jiang Luo carefully and shook his head with a sigh, "I only noticed that your aura had changed, but I didn't realize that you had actually died once ...... On closer inspection, you looked like you had become a living dead person. But the breath is not purely the breath of the living dead, but also some of the divine nature of incense."

"Hei has a good eye," Jiang Luo looked at Hei Wuchang with reverence and naturally patted him on the back before asking, "Hei, is Teng Bi still saved?"

"I cannot tell you the answer at this time," Hei Wuchang said with a straight face, "according to you, Teng Bi has been dead since before the end of the Ming Dynasty. He has been dead for at least four hundred years, and I need to find his soul in hell before we can talk about anything else. But you must know how many ghosts are collected in hell every day and how many ghosts are collected in a year, and four hundred years is a frightening enough number. Without his birth date and date of death, I am only afraid that I would not be able to find him even if I searched for hundreds of years."

From his words, everyone in the room guessed who he was. After being secretly surprised, Ge Zhu asked curiously, "How many souls does the Hellmouth collect in a day?"

Hei Wuchang said, "Tens of thousands."

"Hiss-" Everyone drew in a cold breath.

Even if the hell only collects 10,000 souls a day, that's 3,650,000 a year, and Teng Bi has been dead for at least 400 years, this this this ...... number is so huge that they can't even do the math.

Jiang Luo was taken aback by the word count and then couldn't help but look sympathetic and compassionate. He looks at Hei Wuchang as if he sees Sai Liaoer, who stays up late every night working part-time and without pay.

Hei Wuchang coughed, "Jiang Gongzi, there is already very little work for Sai Gongzi."

" Sai Liaoer's work?" Wen Renlian suddenly asked, "Does he work with you? Sai Liaoer wouldn't be ......" Bai Wuchang, would he?

Hei Wuchang nods calmly, " Sai Gongzi is none other than Bai Wuchang."

"?!"

Everyone except Jiang Luo was shaken to pieces by these words. Ge Zhu's voice drifted away, " Sai Liaoer is Bai Wuchang?

Lu Youyi's eyes closed and he was about to faint, but Ye Xun caught him just in time, "Oh my god ......"

Jiang Luo ignored their ghostly cries and asked with a smile, "Brother Black, didn't you previously instruct me not to tell the others about Sai Liaoer being Bai Wuchang?"

"It's all right now," Hei Wuchang said calmly, "you are Sai Gongzi's friends, so there is no harm in telling them. In the past, you were told not to tell because you were afraid someone would do something to Sai Gongzi, but now you don't have to worry. During this time, Sai Gongzi has been doing Bai Wuchang's job better and better, and more than that, he has made an outstanding contribution to our hell."

Zhuo Zhongqiu always felt like she was dreaming today, she pinched herself and asked in a daze, "What contribution?"

"Sai Gongzi was the first foreign friend in Bai Wuchang since ancient times," Hei Wuchang said seriously, "and the spirits of some of our foreign friends who died here could be given to him to communicate, saving a lot of trouble and allowing me to learn an extra I have also learnt an extra language and have an extra job to do as a translator. Because Sai Gongzi had done such a good job, the lord above had decided to hire Sai Gongzi as the official Bai Wuchang to work with me after Sai Gongzi's death. Therefore, he is now the official Bai Wuchang, and with the blessing of my earthly government, no one else can do anything to him."

Hearing this, it dawned on the others.

"Ah ...... so."

" Sai Liaoer will be Bai Wuchang even after he dies ah ......"

"And taught you English, too. ......"

Jiang Luo looked at his companions with a dizzy look on his face and felt even more sorry for Sai Liaoer, who had to keep on working even after he died. He coughed and said politely, "Sai Liaoer is a foreigner, can he stay in hell after he dies?"

Hei Wuchang thought about it and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for the reminder, I will go and remind His Excellency to negotiate with the foreign gods of death."

Jiang Luo smiled a few times, "No thanks."

Sai Liaoer, I did my best.

He said back on topic, "Black, I will try to get Teng Bi's information to you afterwards, then after that I will have to ask for your help in finding his soul."

Hei Wuchang nodded, "It's just a small matter. Do you have anything else to say?"

Since he asked, Jiang Luo also spoke nonchalantly, "Brother Black, how is it that that god of style in the tomb is able to keep coming back from the dead?"

"The tomb built in the Dragon's Eye only protects the corpse from decaying, it does not protect it from coming back to life. He was locked up in the Dragon's Eye Tomb only to absorb the essence of the dragon veins and offer it to his master. Besides, you have seen the couplet, this god is probably not dead, but his living soul has been placed in the underworld temple by his master, so that the bribed underlings can send his soul up at any time."

So that was it, but it was definitely a surprise that Dragon Eye would guarantee that the corpse would not decay, much to Jiang Luo's relief that at least he wouldn't have to worry about Teng Bi's body decaying.

"Brother Black, I have one last question," Jiang Luo asked, "Do you know about the Fatal Man?"

Hei Wuchang nodded slowly, "He is the only false god today."

Jiang Luo gets straight to the point, "How can you kill a false god?"

Hei Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly as he looked to Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo looks at him with a frank gaze that clearly indicates his intentions.

Hei Wuchang said, "We will not be involved in the battle of the yang."

It means that Hei Wuchang cannot tell you the answer to this question.

Jiang Luo sighed, still smiling, "Brother Black, I'm sorry for your trouble today."

Hei Wuchang nodded lightly as he closed his eyes and prepared to leave. But before leaving, Hei Wuchang suddenly said, "When you meet a vegetable woman on the road, don't talk to her."

After saying this, Hei Wuchang disappeared into thin air.

Sai Liaoer slowly opened his eyes and yawned sleepily, his eyes open in a dazed and drained spirit, "Did it work?"

Wen Renlian patted him gently on the head, "It worked, go to sleep."

Sai Liaoer didn't stick around either and fell asleep on the sofa.

Jiang Luo ponders the last words of Hei Wuchang.

What is that supposed to mean?

Jiang Luo was not the only one who found this strange, so did the others. Sai Liaoer fell asleep in the living room and the others moved on to other rooms, pondering Teng Bi's birth date and time of death, as well as this quote from Hei Wuchang.

Jiang Luo always felt that Hei Wuchang was euphemistically giving him a hint to kill the false gods with this statement, but what did it really mean?

Zhuo Zhongqiu's brain was about to explode and he said in a dumb voice, "Why don't we rest tonight and think about it tomorrow? As for the Teng Bi matter, let Ge Zhu ask Ge Wuchen first."

Ge Zhu had no objection, "I'll ask him tomorrow."

The day had been so eventful that everyone felt more or less exhausted. Lu Youyi, who had never had a good night's sleep in the past few days, felt sleepy for the first time in a long time and took the lead in getting up, "That's right, I'll go back to bed. Jiang Luo, are you coming?"

Jiang Luo stood up, "Let's go, together."

The two of them left in company and the rest of the group dispersed in a scattered manner.

The rooms at Lu Youyi's house are limited and each room is occupied by two to three people. Kuang Zheng is at school these days, and he has no time to come out at a crucial time. Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi have a room to themselves, and the rest of the group share a room, two by two, while Zhuo Zhongqiu has a room to himself.

Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu carried Sai Liaoer to Ye Xun's room and the two men returned to the guest room side by side.

Ge Zhu was still exclaiming, "I never thought Sai Liaoer would be Bai Wuchang... God, Bai Wuchang is a foreigner... I've really learned a lot."

Wen Renlian couldn't help but laugh too, "I was shocked too."

They opened the guest room and closed the door. Wen Renlian was about to turn on the light, but found that it would not open. He was wondering when Ge Zhu suddenly grabbed his arm, his voice tense, "Wen Ren, there's someone in there!"

Wen Renlian, startled, turned his head to look.

A languid dark figure is sitting on the single sofa next to the bed.

The silvery light of the moon outside the window struck the man's body, outlining his straight, pale nose and perfectly defined jaw in the darkness. His hands rested gently on the armrests, and a touch of moonlight fell on his bony fingers.

His fingers tapped meaningfully on the surface of the armrest and said unsteadily, "Here you are."

With just a few moments of moonlight and the paradoxical charm of this man, Wen Renlian guessed who he was.

Ge Zhu also guessed who he was.

Their faces were stony as Wen Renlian pulled Ge Zhu back a step, "Chi You."

The evil spirit laughed softly, and the corners of his hooked lips unfolded in the miserable white moonlight.

Ge Zhu unmovingly tried to open the door to exit, but failed to do so.

Not good.

Ever since he found out that his brother Ge Wuchen was one of Chi You's men, Ge Zhu felt that he had never really seen Chi You clearly. He understands Chi You's fears and depths better than Wen Renlian, and Ge Wuchen has spent the last half month reminding him in a stern tone not to mess with Chi You, a man who scares Ge Wuchen.

Ge Zhu's skin tensed up at the sight of Chi You!

Wen Renlian managed to remain calm enough to ask, "Are you here to see us?"

The evil spirit said, "Obviously."

Wen Renlian tried to remain calm as he cautiously asked, "What do you want from us?"

"Shh, relax, I'm just here to make a deal with you," the evil spirit held out a finger in front of his lips and shrugged helplessly as he said slowly, "You are Jiang Luo's friends and Jiang Luo considers you very important. Wen Renlian, I know you are a clever man who knows how to calculate and persuade people. Ge Zhu, you are also a clever man and when I gave you lessons, I was very impressed by your cleverness."

The evil spirit complimented gently, but each word was like a sinister python showing its fangs. Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu's expressions grew increasingly defensive and rigid, and as their guard was frantically blaring, the evil spirit changed his tune and said, "I give you fifteen days. Within fifteen days, make Jiang Luo willingly admit that he likes me and take the initiative to confess his feelings to me. If you fail to do so ......"

His voice grew lower and lower, and with a sudden laugh, "You have also entered my dreams, and if you had not done this thing, I would have been very unhappy. When I am unhappy, I might turn the world into what it was in my dream. And when that happens, what will you, and your family and friends, do."

Ge Zhu's heart swells with fear, "You threaten us?

The evil spirit snapped his fingers, "That's true too."

He rose to his feet, his long, slender figure oppressive in the darkness. An instinctive chill rose up in Ge Zhu and Wen Renlian as the evil spirits looked down at them, their eyes deep and dark.

"If you do, as long as Jiang Luo stays with me, not only will I not destroy the entire metaphysical community, I will also give you information about Teng Bi, giving you the chance to bring him back to life," the evil spirit turned and opened the balcony door slowly, giving the two men one last look, " Call it a deal, but I don't want to hear no for an answer. If after fifteen days he still has thoughts of wanting to break up with me."

The evil spirit's voice went cold, "You don't want to know what I'll do."

Having said that, he disappeared from the balcony.
