Chapter 183 As long as he doesn’t seek death, he is destined to do great things
late at night.
Yunlai Inn.
A gust of cold wind blew open the wooden window. Cheng Long suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at the two uninvited guests who came in by the wind and sat at the table.
The man has a beard like a halberd, wears a red robe, and holds a folding fan. The woman has a heroic appearance and a graceful figure. Judging from the way they stand and sit, they are either husband and wife or brother and sister.
"May I ask who you two are?"
"Zhong Kui!"
"Zhongjin!"
Cheng Long was not surprised when he learned the visitor's name.
The appearance of the two siblings was very recognizable. He could recognize them after watching the movie Thousand Men Killed. He had suspected that Yan Chixia and Zhong Kui had an unexplained relationship before.
Now I just feel that they are the same person.
Yan Chixia put on a judge's hat, and that was Zhong Kui in front of her.
"Judge Zhong, I wonder why you and your sister are here late at night?"
"My little friend is a demonic monk?"
Zhong Kui said bluntly.
Behind him, Zhong Li looked at Cheng Long with straight eyes.
"Yes."
Cheng Long nodded.
She could hide her identity as a demonic monk from Yan Chixia, but she couldn't hide her identity from the four judges.
Zhong Kui is a genuine underworld god with extraordinary strength.
"Did you kill Jade Canhua?"
Zhong Kui's eyes gradually became sharper, with a faint hint of coldness.
"Not bad."
Cheng Long was neither humble nor arrogant, and had no fear at all.
In the movie, Zhong Kui can even let go of the murderous Jade Canhua. He has not committed any crime and has not committed any crime, so there is no need to worry at all.
"You are so brave, how dare you scare people away?"
Zhong Kui pretended to be angry, and a majestic momentum pressed down on Cheng Long like a mountain.
Um!
Cheng Long groaned and his body sank slightly.
Zhong Kui's temptation made him feel unprecedented pressure.
The four judges were just different. Their intimidating power was more terrifying than the mountain god Tang Saier he met in the zombie world.
However, it is simply a fantasy to want to surrender under such a threat.
"Judge Zhong, Yu Canhua has been instigated to kill by her seven brothers since she was a child. She does not know how to respect living creatures. She kills people just like killing chickens without any psychological burden. What crime do I commit by killing her?"
Cheng Long's words were sonorous and powerful, and his body slowly straightened up as he spoke, without bending at all.
"Okay, what's wrong with being so good?"
Zhong Kui laughed and regained his overwhelming momentum.
Zhong Li, who never spoke, smiled sweetly and said: "Little friend, my eldest brother was joking with you just now. Don't be angry. By the way, what is your name? Who did you learn from?"
"My name is Cheng Long, I don't have a master."
Cheng Long's cultivation so far has been all based on trial and error without the guidance of a famous teacher.
Fortunately, he didn't have a famous teacher to teach him. Otherwise, if he was a demonic cultivator and wanted to cultivate merit, the first person to kill him might be his master.
"How come there is no master?" Zhong Li frowned.
"Ms. Zhong, apart from me, have you ever seen a demonic monk like me?" Cheng Long can't guarantee that he is the only demonic cultivator who practices merit, but he is definitely a very rare demonic monk.
Therefore, his rhetorical question was very convincing.
"..."
Zhong Li was speechless for a moment.
There are demon cultivators who don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but those people just don't take the initiative to provoke the enemy. But if the enemy comes to kill them, they will destroy them when they need to, and extract their souls when they need to, without any ambiguity.
This type of demon cultivator only has less karma and kills without mercy.
An alternative demon cultivator like Cheng Long is rare in the world.
"Little friend, although there is nothing wrong with you killing evil people, some evil people will still have the opportunity to be reincarnated after going to hell to accept their punishment. There is no need to make people die."
What Zhong Kui said makes a little sense.
Killing evildoers is not just about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Practicing practice is the main purpose.
Accumulating virtue and doing good is incidental. Killing evil people to accumulate merit can also make Zhong Kui and Maoshan Patriarchs tied up and kill two birds with one stone.
"Judge Zhong, you are right, I will pay attention next time."
What Cheng Long said with a smile was very much like the next affirmation of a netizen on a certain website, which was completely unconvincing.
Zhong Kui obviously saw through his little thoughts, and could only shake his head and warn: "The Eight Ghost Immortals are Yuan Detai's disaster, and the remaining seven will show up. Before Yuan Detai commits suicide and becomes a benevolent person, I don't want any more to appear." Disappear, you know what I mean?"
"Okay, but you have to promise me that after Yuan Detai completes his merits, he will leave the Eight Immortals to me."
"No problem, as long as you have the ability."
Zhong Kui only warned Cheng Long this time to prevent the plot from being greatly damaged. Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, he felt quite good in his heart.
He subconsciously looked back at his sister and couldn't help but feel pity secretly.
If they could get to know each other earlier, maybe they could find someone else as their brother-in-law. The brother and sister chatted with Cheng Long for a while, then said goodbye and returned to the underworld.
"Little sister, what do you think of Cheng Long?"
Zhong Kui returned to the mansion, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly asked his sister about his feelings for Cheng Long.
A man full of merit and virtue, practicing magic skills, happened to stay in the underworld and serve, which was very suitable for his sister.
Zhong Li subconsciously replied: "He's very handsome. What's wrong?"
"Then would you mind changing your husband?"
"Ah~~"
Zhong Li was stunned.
Brother, you have only met her once, why do you want her to change her husband?
"Little sister, Mr. Cheng is a man of good fortune and merit. As long as he does not commit suicide in the future, he is destined to do great things, and he will be much better than the one you are interested in."
In this world, when Zhong Kui marries his sister, he does not entrust his sister to Du Ping, but to a slightly famous Yin Shen.
When the two met, it was entirely because of his impatience as the eldest brother, who had been choosing a husband for his sister.
Zhong Li didn't have much feelings for each other, they just liked each other.
"Brother, Lin Lang and I have already agreed on our marriage, and part of the invitations have been sent out. Now that I regret the marriage, it will be a huge blow to Lin Lang. Please forgive me for not agreeing."
Although Zhong Li has a good impression of Cheng Long, under this situation, she is ashamed just thinking about it, asking her to abandon her fiancé who is talking about marriage and marry Cheng Long instead.
She's not a frivolous woman!
"What a pity!"
Zhong Kui sighed regretfully.
……
Early the next morning.
Cheng Long finished washing up and was about to leave the inn and go to the street to sell some food when he saw Yuan Detai, Qiaoyin and Qiaoyin's mother walking towards him from a short distance away.
"Benefactor~~"
Qiaoyin's mother stepped forward quickly.
Yuan Detai and Qiaoyin followed closely.
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
"My benefactor, this is my husband Yuan Detai and my daughter Qiaoyin. We are here to thank you and invite you to come to our house for a light meal in the evening."
"Okay, I'll be there tonight."
Seeing Cheng Long's willingness to agree, Yuan Detai's family of three were very happy.
After agreeing on a time for the banquet, the group dispersed.
At nine o'clock that night, after the last table of guests at Jindao Winery left, Cheng Long picked up some wine and brought a pot of wine as a door-to-door gift, and gave it to Yuan Detai.
"Qiaoyin, Erwu, it's better to wait for the Mongolian roast sheep. You can sit with Mr. Cheng for a while first."
"Yes, Master." The two of them nodded.
Qiaoyin poured a cup of tea for Cheng Long and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, I remember you. You came to our restaurant for dinner yesterday afternoon, right?"
"That's right, I have a good memory!"
"The main thing is that your dress and appearance are so outstanding that it's hard not to remember."
Qiaoyin smiled playfully.
When Erwu saw this scene, he suddenly became alert and subconsciously interjected: "Mr. Cheng, how did you recognize that the second sister is the Eight Immortals of the Ghost and He Xiangu Yu's Broken Flower?"
"Because I used to..."
While they were chatting, a gust of wind suddenly blew behind them, raising dust all over the sky.
25. Qiaoyin closed his eyes one after another. When they opened their eyes again, there was a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat on the bench not far away.
Yuan Detai, who was standing next to the boiler and personally cooking Mongolian barbecue for Cheng Long, said: "Can you give me any advice?"
"Book a table."
"Then what do you want to eat?"
The middle-aged man in a bamboo hat weighed a bunch of copper plates in his hand, threw them on the table and said, "We'll see."
"You don't need so many."
"I'm just afraid of not eating well, not afraid of spending money."
"How many?"
"Eight."
"When will it come?"
"Tomorrow."
"Come at noon or at sunset?"
"Come at midnight."
The middle-aged man in a bamboo hat slowly raised his head.
Seeing this person's appearance clearly, Yuan Detai's expression changed suddenly.
——The Eight Ghost Immortals, Uncle Cao Guo and Wang Erba!
