midnight.

At the beginning of Zi Shi.

Mao Xiaofang led his two apprentices, Qin Yao and Athena to a Taoist temple.

While Xiao Hai stretched out his hand to push the door open, Qin Yao raised his head and glanced, only to see the name "Fuxi Hall" hanging on the Taoist plaque, without any trace of the Tiandao sect; a pair of couplets hung on both sides of the vermilion door, and on the right was I have Qin Shu to increase my Tao Qi, and on the left is Qie Renzhi Shu to accompany me during my leisure time.

"Taoist Master Qin, please come inside." After Xiaohai opened the door, Mao Xiaofang raised his hand and said.

"Taoist Master Mao is the senior, senior, please come first." Qin Yao said politely.

Mao Xiaofang paused slightly and took the lead in crossing the threshold: "Taoist Master Qin, please follow me."

Qin Yao followed Athena through the door, and then Ah Hai and Ah Chucai jumped in together and closed the door in a noisy manner.

"Ah Hai, go make tea and make good tea; Ah Chu, clean up the two clean guest rooms and come out." When he came to the front of the hall, Mao Xiaofang turned around and said.

"Yes, Master." The two apprentices seemed to have been pressed on the pause button for an instant, and they stood up straight in unison.

"Xiao Fang..." Suddenly, an old voice came from the main hall.

Mao Xiaofang's expression changed. He didn't bother to greet Qin Yao and others anymore. He rushed into the main hall, pushed open a dark yellow wooden door, bowed and said, "Master."

In the room, on the bed.

The old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, leaning his back against the wall. With the help of the huge firelight in the room, he looked at the disciple who was walking slowly: "What happened?"

"It's okay, Master." Mao Xiaofang stopped in front of the bed and whispered.

"Don't lie to me. If everything was okay, you wouldn't have come back at this point." Lei Zhenzi shook his head.

Mao Xiaofang was silent for a moment and said, "Master, it's getting late. You old man, please take a nap."

"I won't sleep anymore. I either eat or sleep every day. This kind of life is too oppressive." Lei Zhenzi said: "Xiao Fang, please give me a good time. Die as soon as possible and be freed as soon as possible."

Mao Xiaofang's heart trembled and he said: "Master..."

"Idiot."

Lei Zhenzi said: "As early as nine years ago, the end of my life as a teacher was approaching. In order to wait for that beast to change his mind and correct his evil ways, I just used half my life to extend my life for ten years. By March next year, it will be ten years. It's close. It’s been ten years, and that beast hasn’t come back. I can’t stand it anymore, and I don’t want to…”

Mao Xiaofang's eyes gradually turned red, and he said against his will: "Master, senior brother, he may have encountered some trouble..."

"Stop whitewashing it for him. He is just selfish and doesn't have me as a father in his heart." Lei Zhenzi said with a sad face.

Mao Xiaofang took a breath and decided to change the topic to divert the old man's attention: "Master, someone is coming from Maoshan..."

Lei Zhenzi was stunned for a moment and looked at Mao Xiaofang blankly.

"Master, if you don't want to see him, I will ask him out now." Compared with Lei Zhenzi, Mao Xiaofang still lacked a lot of relevant experience and insights, and could not understand the old man's mood at this moment.

"Invite him in." Lei Zhenzi exhaled a long breath as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Mao Xiaofang nodded, turned around and walked out of the back room, stepped into the lobby, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Director Qin, for neglecting me."

Qin Yao waved his hand and asked, "Is Senior Lei okay?"

Mao Xiaofang didn't know how to reply to this, so he could only say: "Taoist Master Qin, master invites you to come in."

"Athena, please wait here for a moment."

Qin Yao gave instructions in a low voice, and then silently followed Mao Xiaofang into the lobby.

"Who is coming?" On the bed, Lei Zhenzi cheered up, tried his best to straighten his back, and raised his voice.

"Qin Yao, the chief disciple of the eighty-eighth generation of Maoshan and the current priest of the Department of Punishing Evil in Fengdu, pays homage to the senior."

Qin Yao took two steps forward and bowed.

These words are not said casually, every word is filled with thought.

The eighty-eighth generation is considered a junior. Even with the title of chief, it is nothing in the spiritual world. Therefore, it must be followed by a heavyweight achievement.

The priest who punishes evildoers in Fengdu, this status is a medal!

However, even if this status is more valuable, at this moment, he cannot be placed in front of Maoshan, because he represents Maoshan, and the relationship of primary and secondary cannot be reversed.

Having said that, as a visitor, if you do not have enough status, then the person being visited will not only not be happy, but will feel slighted.

This is like a little 49 in the chief helm, going to visit the helmsman of the branch helm in the name of the chief helm. He is a cheap man, but he is willing to meet you?

Sure enough, when Qin Yao revealed the identity of the priest of Feng Mansion, Lei Zhenzi's eyes gradually brightened: "There is actually someone in Maoshan who has been admitted to the Department of Punishing Evil!!!"

Qin Yao said seriously: "After me, there will definitely be another one."

Lei Zhenzi smiled slightly and said noncommittally: "Little brother, does he have any position in the Punishment Department?"

Qin Yao hesitated for a moment and said: "I am lazy in government affairs and miss the world of the underworld. I can be regarded as a ferryman for the souls of evil officials in the underworld."

Lei Zhenzi: "???"

The words sound decent, but when translated a little bit, it’s shocking.

What the hell are you doing, just getting paid and not working, living in the human world if you want, and living in the underworld if you want to be in the underworld?

Are you a civil servant?

Are there such civil servants?!

The Evil Punishment Department is run by your family, and I treat you like an ancestor!

"Little brother, are you kidding me?" After a moment of silence, Lei Zhenzi asked with a strange expression.

Qin Yao shook his head and said: "The situation is a bit complicated..."

"I want to hear how complicated it is." Lei Zhenzi said curiously.

In fact, he didn't think that the young man opposite would lie to him, unless the other person was not from Maoshan, or Maoshan didn't care about the Tiandao Sect at all...

Qin Yao pursed his lips and said calmly: "To simplify a complicated matter, I have a partner. His name is Zhong Li, and his identity is Zhong Kui's biological sister. According to the relationship, I have to call Zhong Kui uncle."

Lei Zhenzi: "..."

Mao Xiaofang: "..."

you……

It's a bit ungrateful to have martial ethics.

"It turns out that the Evil Punishment Department is really run by your family." Lei Zhenzi said quietly.

Qin Yao shook his head: "The Department of Punishing Evil is run by the Yin Department of Fengdu."

"Is there any difference?" Lei Zhenzi asked.

Qin Yao: "..."

Suddenly I remembered a joke: The car belongs to the company, and the company belongs to me, but you can't say the car is mine...

"Dao Zhang Qin, you came just in time." At this time, Lei Zhenzi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said excitedly: "Aren't you the soul ferryman? You can ferry me..."

Qin Yao: "???"

What the hell is this?

Seeing the confused look on his face, Lei Zhenzi took the initiative to explain: "I don't want to live with this broken body anymore, but I don't have the ability to commit suicide.

If I let Xiao Fang kill me, I would be relaxed, but he might be in a lot of trouble, so you came just in time, this is fate."

Qin Yao: "..."

Grass.

What kind of magical unfolding is this?

I came here to win over Mao Xiaofang, but he asked me to kill his master?!

Seeing that he was stunned and silent, Lei Zhenzi glanced at Mao Xiaofang and suddenly understood: "Xiaofang, death is not the end. There is still a soul after the body is gone. Master doesn't want to linger anymore, do you understand?"

"Old senior, please wait first."

Qin Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said hurriedly: "Before we talk about this, can we talk about my purpose of coming? Don't get me wrong, I'm not blackmailing you, I just want to make it clear while everyone is here."

Lei Zhenzi pondered for a moment and said: "After my death, the positions of the head of the Tiandao Sect and the head of the Fuxi Hall will be passed on to Xiao Fang. As far as the future is concerned, I no longer have the qualifications to make the decision. Whether the Tiandao Sect and the Fuxi Hall should be together Worshiping the mountain gate of Maoshan depends on Xiaofang's wishes."

Seeing the two of them looking at him together, Mao Xiaofang was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Master Qin, this matter is of great importance. Can you allow me to think about it?"

"sure."

Qin Yao smiled, and in order to prevent the two masters and disciples from having any grudges, he immediately said: "In the future, if there is any matter about paying homage to the mountain gate, I can directly communicate with Taoist Mao. As for now, let's talk about it later. Let’s talk about soul ferrying…”

Seeing his frank look, Mao Xiaofang was sincerely convinced, bowed and said: "Master Qin, I leave the ferry to you."

Qin Yao held his arms with both hands, helped him up, and said with a smile: "We are a family, so we don't have to be so open-minded. By the way, after Senior Lei passes away, are you going to be reincarnated or stay in the underworld?"

Lei Zhenzi heard the deeper meaning of his words, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face: "Little brother Qin, is it convenient to stay in the underworld?"

If possible, who would want to have their memory of this life erased and become someone else?

Qin Yao chuckled and said: "Convenient, convenient... My uncle is a bit more old-fashioned. It is difficult to arrange the position of the Punishment Department, but my eldest brother can do it. As long as you have enough virtue, the position of a Night Walker God will definitely be no problem. "

Happiness came so suddenly that Lei Zhenzi's mind went blank.

Mao Xiaofang's face looked a little strange.
