Chapter 137 Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced
The atmosphere was a bit solemn, and at this moment, a loud voice came from afar. ♦♦ ♦♦
"What a coincidence, everyone is here."
Two giant dragons flew from afar and stopped at the gate of the underworld. They were the brothers Benboba and Baboben. At the same time, two orcs got off the brothers' backs. They were Ma Yi and Cowboy.
The brothers didn't expect that Lin Tian, Han Li and others were all here. Did they know that the brothers were coming and waited here on purpose?
When did the brothers become so proud?
"Why are the two Taoist friends here too?"
The speaker was Ye Xingchen. He knew the brothers' temperament very well. Except for very important things, the brothers were either slacking off or on the way to slacking off, and would not care about other trivial matters at all.
Now they appeared in Fengdu and brought two more orcs. What was the meaning? Would they send people to the underworld again?
Seeing Ye Xingchen asking about it, the two brothers also explained their purpose: "My two brothers are ordered by Master Zhang to bring these two people to Fengdu to report."
Hearing the purpose of the two brothers' coming, several people thought that they really sent people. The Master Zhang mentioned by the two brothers should be Zhang Fulong.
"Did my master send you two?" Han Li confirmed with the two brothers again.
The two brothers nodded. The brothers already knew that Zhang Fulong and Han Li were master and apprentice, so when they heard Han Li's words, the brothers were not surprised.
"In this case, follow me." Han Li said, he already knew what Tiandao wanted Zhang Fulong to do.
Han Li stopped clamoring to go out and look for Zhang Fulong, and brought everyone to the Soul Transformation Pool. Then Han Li said to Bage, Ma Yi, and Cowboy: "If you want to work in the underworld, you need to shed your physical body and let the Soul Transformation Pool recast your spiritual body. I have finished speaking, and you three can go in."
Han Li briefly introduced the three people, and then told them to enter the Soul Transformation Pool to complete the transformation.
Bage seemed to have heard Han Li's words before, and walked straight into the Soul Transformation Pool without hesitation.
Ma Yi and Cowboy were still in a state of confusion. When did they join the netherworld? Is this the habitat chosen by Zhang Fulong for the two?
The netherworld, this place is really well chosen, and it will send them to the west directly.
After the brain crashed for a while, Ma Yi and Cowboy also recovered, and no longer entangled these things, and followed Bage into the Soul Transformation Pool.
The three entered the Soul Transformation Pool, and soon, the three of them were submerged in the Soul Transformation Pool, and they could no longer see their figures, and didn't know what was happening inside.
About an incense stick later, there was movement in the Soul Transformation Pool. A huge black crow flew out of the Soul Transformation Pool and hovered over the Netherworld.
Then, a stream of energy emerged from the Netherworld and merged into the black crow. Everyone could clearly see that the black crow's strength had rapidly climbed from the Nascent Soul stage.
From the Spirit Transformation, Return to Void, Mahayana, until the late stage of the Crossing Tribulation, the black crow's cultivation stopped improving. At this time, the black crow announced: "From today on, I will be the Netherworld Jackdaw, patrolling the world on behalf of the Netherworld."
As soon as the Netherworld Jackdaw finished speaking, two huge figures emerged from the Soul Transformation Pool. One had a face like a bull's head and held a steel fork. The other had a face like a horse's face and held a big knife.
Similarly, the two of them were infused with energy from the Netherworld, and their cultivation continued to improve until the Crossing Tribulation was complete.
Then, the two giants spoke: "From today on, I am the Ox-Head."
"I am the Horse-Face."
"Together we will handle the affairs of the dead souls in the underworld."
At this point, the two important staff members of the Netherworld, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, were officially born, and their cultivation was given by the tunnel.
The tunnel only gave them this one promotion, and if they want to improve their cultivation in the future, they can only rely on their own efforts to cultivate.
As for these things that happened in the Netherworld, Zhang Fulong, who was far away in the wilderness, knew nothing about it. He left Qingshui City a few days ago and came to the outskirts of Jinyang City.
As soon as they approached Jinyang City, Zhang Fulong and Shen Ziyi saw a grandmother walking down the mountain with a group of children. Among these children, the oldest was twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was younger than Shen Ziyi, only four or five years old.
Among these children, the older ones carried baskets filled with wild vegetables. The younger ones were not idle either, and they also carried some in their hands or arms.
"Children, walk slowly, pay attention to the road, don't fall."
The one who spoke was an elderly grandmother, who stopped in the middle of the crowd with a cane, and she wanted to wait for the children to pass by first.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ziyi asked in doubt: "Teacher, what are they doing?"
"I don't know, let's go and see."
Zhang Fulong shook his head. He didn't know what was going on, and led Shen Ziyi to them.
When he came to the grandmother, Zhang Fulong asked humbly: "Hello, grandmother."
It seemed that she heard someone calling her, and the grandmother turned back to look. When she saw Zhang Fulong, she immediately greeted Zhang Fulong.
"It turned out to be the Taoist priest, nice to meet you."
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Zhang Fulong expressed his doubts. This didn't seem like a spring outing. Who would have so many children, and there were children of all ages.
Secondly, Zhang Fulong also saw from these children that these children were not well dressed, and they were all patched up. Their skin color is also slightly yellow, which shows that they are malnourished.
Judging from the above manifestations, these are children from poor families.
Hearing Zhang Fulong's question, the grandmother explained: "It's early summer now, and the wild vegetables on the mountain are growing abundantly. There are not many people picking them on weekdays, so the old woman took the children up the mountain to pick some and brought them back for dinner."
"Where are their families?"
This was not said by Zhang Fulong, but by Shen Ziyi. He saw that several children in the crowd were younger than him. Did their parents let them follow this grandmother up the mountain?
After Shen Ziyi finished asking, he heard the grandmother sigh: "They have no parents, they are all abandoned children."
"What?"
Hearing the grandmother's words, Shen Ziyi widened his eyes and couldn't believe it. There were thirty or forty children in front of him. Were all these children abandoned by their parents?
Zhang Fulong was still as calm as ever. When the grandmother explained just now, Zhang Fulong had guessed it vaguely, but he hadn't confirmed it yet.
Now it has been confirmed, proving that Zhang Fulong's guess is correct. The reason why Shen Ziyi was shocked was that he had seen too little.
Shen Ziyi had lived in a wealthy family since he was a child and had never seen such a thing. Even now that he was out with Zhang Fulong, there were many things that Shen Ziyi did not know.
He never dared to think that there were parents who would cruelly abandon their children outside.
After all, when they were in Shangxincheng, even though Ma Yi and Cowboy were orcs and were not liked by people, Gu Wanqing, as a mother, finally threatened to die to save the two.
Is human nature really that complicated?
