Master Xu Returns to Life!_2
In Fengdu City.
Xu Yang followed two underworld soldiers, walking in a narrow corridor.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Who exactly wants to see me, brothers?”
“You’ll find out soon enough.”
One of the underworld soldiers turned to look at Xu Yang, a curious look in their hollow eyes that flickered with ghostly fires, and asked, “Are you really a successor of Xu Xian, the Ancestral Master of the Jingming Sect in the mortal world?”
Xu Xian?
Xu Yang was taken aback.
But he quickly responded, saying, “That’s right, I hold the Supreme Purification Seal left by Heavenly Master Xu and cultivate the Divine Ascension Scripture passed down by him. I’ll most likely succeed him as the Heavenly Master in the future!”
Celestial Master Xu had many titles in the mortal world.
Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji, Loyal and Filial Deity, Celestial Master Xu, Honorable Sage Xu, and Heavenly Master Xu were all names for him, and some also called him “Xu Xian” …Of course, this Xu Xian was not the one who rode a snake, but the Xu Xian who slayed the Evil Dragon and suppressed floods!
The underworld soldier continued, “I heard from the squad leader who escorted you here that you were in the funeral business in the mortal world?” Xu Yang nodded.
The underworld soldier suddenly lowered his voice, shoved a large ingot of gold into Xu Yang’s arms, and said, “Master Xu, can you help me burn some paper money when you return to the mortal world? My name is Wang Ergou, from Datong. I died 38 years ago, and my eight characters of birth are…”
Hearing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but rejoice within!
This underworld soldier’s words revealed information…
He could return!
He immediately memorized the underworld soldier’s eight characters of birth, as well as those of the other soldier, and said, “Don’t worry, brothers. When I return to the mortal world, I will burn more money for you.”
At the end of the corridor, there was a dimly lit large hall.
The faint red light emitted by the human head lanterns floating around the hall, casting a crimson hue over the entire hall. On both sides, underworld soldiers stood in two rows, each holding a weapon and exuding an oppressive aura.
Above the hall, there was a white jade table, behind which sat a towering figure. His appearance was fierce and gruesome, resembling a “Judge” from mythological tales.
Xu Yang arrived at the center of the hall and quietly observed the towering figure. Just then-
Bang!
The figure abruptly slammed the table and shouted, “How dare you! Seeing this Judge, why don’t you kneel?”
Xu Yang did not kneel, but instead said, “You are a Judge, and I am the Earthly Celestial Master… In terms of rank, I am higher than you, so why should I kneel?”
Based on what the two underworld soldiers said, Xu Yang already knew he could return to the mortal world; at this moment, he naturally wanted to show some backbone.
He held his head high, looking straight at the Judge, attempting to discern the Judge’s appearance but found he couldn’t make out the details – only the words fierce and gruesome” came to mind when looking at him.
The Judge sneered, “Earthly Celestial Master? You still have to succeed to be one!”
However, the Judge didn’t dwell on the matter of kneeling, took out a book from the white jade table – on the cover were written three big characters – “Book of Life and Death”.
He turned the pages of the “Book of Life and Death” and said calmly, “I heard you were wronged in the prison, claiming your mortal lifespan is not over?” “Yes, Judge!”
Softening his tone, Xu Yang quickly said, “Your Honor, I’m only 22 years old, not even 23 yet. My health is outstanding. How could my mortal life be over? I’m about to get married, and five beautiful wives are waiting for me. I implore you, please spare me and send me back to the mortal world!”
The Judge chuckled, “Whether your mortal lifespan is over or not depends on the Book of Life and Death… The mortal world, Da Xia, the northwest, Wu City… Xu Yang, found it!”
He looked at the Book of Life and Death, saying, “Xu Yang, born in the year 2000, belongs to the Dragon… Your eight characters of birth are quite good.” Abandoned as a child, picked up by someone.”
“At the age of one, contracted a cold, coughed for days, developed pneumonia, hospitalized for treatment, and recovered after seven days.”
“At the age of 3, you went out to play and encountered a human trafficker…
Later, your grandpa found and rescued you.”
“At the age of 5, you went to kindergarten, and you pulled down little girls’ pants to look for their ‘cattle’…”
Xu Yang’s face turned red involuntarily, and he whispered, “Judge, can we not mention the past?”
However, the judge suddenly frowned, looking at the Book of Life and Death with confusion, “The Book of Life and Death shows that, before you turned 18, your life was full of ups and downs. Although there were no big disasters, small calamities were never-ending. After turning 18, your luck improved, and at 24, you would win a big prize, buy a car and a house, get married and live happily ’ ever after. You’d die a natural death at 86. Why did you say you’re about to get married? Are you trying to deceive me?”
Huh?
Xu Yang was stunned.
The judge also exclaimed in surprise, as he saw the words on the page of the Book of Life and Death recording Xu Yang’s life suddenly flicker. Then Xu Yang’s “life trajectory” after the age of 18 completely vanished.
The judge couldn’t believe it and swiftly stood up. He flipped through a few pages before and after, but they were all blank. He was shocked and asked, “How could this be? How could this be?”
“This Book of Life and Death can trace everyone’s merits and demerits, up to 99 lives before and down to 99 lives after. How a person’s life will unfold and their fate are all predetermined. Why would your future suddenly vanish?”
“Why would your past and present life suddenly turn into a blank?”
Xu Yang was puzzled, cautiously asking, “Could there be a problem with your Book of Life and Death?”
“Nonsense!”
The judge became furious and cursed, “The Book of Life and Death is one of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Human, and the supreme treasure of the Underworld Palace. The Book of Life and Death in my hand is but a projection, but there’s absolutely no possibility of errors!”
“Enough, enough!”
The judge walked down from the hall, stood before Xu Yang, and said seriously, “No wonder the Ghost Emperor asked me to see you… Your future has suddenly vanished, and your past lives and current life are untraceable. This may be a good thing, but blessings and misfortunes are often intertwined… You’d better watch out for yourself!”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang asked, “What do you mean?”
But the next moment, the judge’s hand was already raised high. Before Xu Yang could react, the judge slapped him hard on the abdomen.
Xu Yang only felt an unbelievably powerful force, causing his body to involuntarily fly up. The scenery in front of him started to change rapidly and reverse, and the silhouette of the judge became increasingly blurred.
Next moment, everything went dark.
When he abruptly opened his eyes, he found himself back in the mortal world, in his body. He stared at the ceiling, gasping for air, while the beautiful figures of the five women were beside him.
“Ah!”
“Husband!”
“Boss!”
“Brother-in-law…”
“You’ve returned to the living?”
The five women were overjoyed.
After a while, Xu Yang managed to stabilize himself, sat up, and saw that the five women were already dressed in wedding gowns with bridal coronets on their heads. He immediately asked, “What’s the time now?”
Yun Mengxi lifted her wedding gown and looked at the diamond-studded Patek Philippe mechanical watch on her wrist, saying, “It is now 5:38 PM.”
“That’s good.”
Xu Yang finally let out a sigh of relief and said, “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
The women asked what had happened, but Xu Yang was also clueless. He didn’t mention the Book of Life and Death but said, “I just fell asleep, who would have thought that I’d end up in the Underworld Palace…”
He briefly talked about what he had seen and heard in the Underworld Palace, and said, “Ladies, it’s getting late. You should go back to Yue Mansion first, and I’ll come to marry you soon!”
