Hard to Guard Against (Third Update!)

Chapter 562: Unpredictable (Third update!)

Qin Mu's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was shocked. His jade pendant was actually made by Tu Bo!

This jade pendant should be the Qin family's jade pendant. He has been wearing it since he was a child. How could it be made by Tu Bo?

What does Tu Bo have to do with him?

Or did he really do so many evil things that Tu Bo sealed him with a jade pendant?

However, I was just a newborn baby at that time, how could I do such evil?

Moreover, he did not have this impression at all. Besides, in Yankang and Taihuangtian, everyone knew that Master Qin was a kind and broad-minded person. When had he ever done anything evil?

"The seal may have loosened."

Lava Tubo continued to look through the books and said, "A few gods and demons tried to break the seal. Although they failed, the seal was somewhat loose and almost let you out. It doesn't matter. I will reinforce it later."

He read very quickly, quickly reading the book about Qin Mu's evil deeds, and came to the last page, saying: "In the ominous land of Taihuangtian, Qin's son Feng Qing disturbed the nether world with the soul-pulling spell, forcibly seized 48,000 dead souls, and injured the Yin official..."

Qin Mu said honestly, "I was the one who used the Soul Puller to lead 48,000 undead souls from the Netherworld, but I didn't injure the ghost messenger. It was done by Wei Liao, the Seven Killing Star Lord. If you want to find him, go find him."

Lava Earth Lord turned his head to look at the old Yincha and asked, "The one who injured the Yincha was the Seven Killing Star Lord Wei Liao?"

The old ghost messenger was the incarnation of Tianqi Rensheng King. He replied, "The name of the Seven Killing Star Lord Wei Liao is in the Book of Life and Death, but the Seven Killing Star Lord Wei Liao's soul had been scattered 20,000 years ago and was removed from the Book of Life and Death. He is no longer under the jurisdiction of our Nether City. This time, 48,000 undead souls escaped and the ghost messenger was injured. It was because Qin Fengqing resurrected the Seven Killing Star Lord and reorganized his scattered soul. Therefore, the account of injuring the ghost messenger should be recorded on Qin Fengqing's head. After all, he is still alive and his name is still in the Book of Life and Death."

Lava Earth Lord looked at Qin Mu and said, "The blame is on you. Are you satisfied?"

Qin Mu said: "I don't accept it!"

"Remember him."

Lava Earth Lord said to the old man, "We will settle the matter later."

Qin Mu's face suddenly darkened: "It's all going to be blamed on me anyway, why are you asking me?" However, when Lava Soil Uncle mentioned the word "settlement in the future", it gave him hope again.

The settlement will be made in the future, not now, which means that the Lava Soil Lord summoned him this time just to inquire about the cause and effect.

Lava Tu Bo closed the thick book, looked down at the tiny Qin Mu below, and said: "Why did you disrupt the order of the Nether City and summon the undead? Do you remember anything? Are there any images of the Nether City flashing through your mind?"

Qin Mu was confused, shook his head and said, "When I was sent... exiled to Youdu, I should have been only one or two months old, right? How could the image of Youdu flash by? As for summoning the undead in the ominous place, I had no choice but to do it."

He explained the reasons and consequences of his use of the Soul-pulling Technique, and then stood there obediently, quietly waiting for his fate.

Lava Earth Uncle's eyes were fixed on him, and he suddenly asked, "You really didn't have any images flash through your mind? You didn't remember anything?"

Qin Mu shook his head and smiled: "What can I recall?"

"You don't remember anything, so how did you become fluent in Youdu language?"

Lava Earth Lord was still staring at him, as if he could see through everything he said. He said slowly, "Being proficient in the Youdu language allowed you to start practicing Youdu's skills and magical powers, and opened the portal to the magic path's hidden treasures. Aren't you curious about why you can open the magic path's hidden treasures?"

Next to him, the old man said, "The demons are descendants of the demon god from Youdu, so they can open the magic treasure. Why can you also open the magic treasure? Aren't you curious about this?"

"curious!"

Qin Mu showed curiosity and asked, "Why can I open the magic way's divine treasure and the divine way's divine treasure?"

"Because you are a descendant of Wuyou Township, and you were also born in Youdu..."

As soon as the old man said this, Lava Earth Lord interrupted and said, "He doesn't need to know this, and we don't need to explain it to him. He was summoned for questioning, not to trick us."

The old man came to his senses and said with a smile, "He tricked me. This guy's expression was so hateful that I fell into his trap without even realizing it."

Qin Mu blushed and said, "I was also aroused by the Lord's curiosity, so I asked this question, not to trick you. I am just an eighteen-year-old kid..."

The old man shook his head and said, "I really can't tell that he is lying."

Lava Earth Lord nodded and said, "This is an acquired cunning that he learned from the people in the mortal world. It is not his nature, but he has trained it into his nature."

The old man asked, "So how much of his words are true and how much are false?"

Lava Earth Lord knew Qin Mu very well. He said, "When he described the cause and effect of the resurrection in the ominous land, every word he said was true. After he talked about this incident, it seemed that he said a lot, but in fact he didn't say anything. Instead, he was asking questions and trying to trick us."

The old man thought about it carefully and found that it was true.

Qin Mu said shyly: "I am not like this by nature. I was just indoctrinated with some bad things by the elders in the village, so I am like this. I really don't recall any scenes of Youdu."

“That’s true.”

Lava Earth Lord said: "The seal is still there. It should be that only some memories about language have awakened, but the memories about experience have not awakened."

Qin Mu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he asked tentatively: "I have committed some murders in the past, will this aggravate my guilt?"

"This statement is false. It is a cliché."

Lava Soil Lord said, "But what he wants to ask is not confidential, you can answer him."

The old ghost said: "All the evil deeds done in life will be treated equally after death. The underworld is not a place of judgment, but a place to go after death. Only those who have committed extremely heinous crimes or disrupted the order of the underworld will be eaten by Tubo."

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The old man said, "Those who have committed serious crimes are bound by grievances. Even if they fall into the Netherworld, they will be tormented by the fire of karma forever and suffer incomparable pain. That's why Tu Bo eats them and takes their sins and fire of karma on himself. Disrupting the order of the Netherworld, even if you are the kind who make the dead not die, you will also be eaten by Tu Bo."

Qin Mu's heart began to tense up again. The old ghost looked at his face carefully, showing satisfaction, and said, "But we in the underworld don't interfere with the living world. You are not dead yet, so we can't deal with you now. We have to wait until you die."

"My Lord, you have been tricked by his expression." said Lava Soil Lord.

The old man was stunned and said in a lost voice: "His original intention was to ask me whether he would be punished for coming this time? It's hard to guard against it——"

Lava Earth Lord nodded, his eyes still fixed on Qin Mu's face, and said, "Don't talk yet. I'll ask him."

Qin Mu stood still obediently.

Lava Earth Uncle looked at his obedient appearance, thought for a while, and finally decided not to say anything. Instead, he raised his finger slightly, and the jade pendant hanging on Qin Mu's neck slowly floated up and automatically fell into his palm.

Lava Earth Lord took off a nine-bend long horn from his head, inserted it into the jade pendant, and slapped it downwards heavily. The entire long horn sank into the jade pendant and disappeared.

Circles of fire emanated from the jade pendant and slowly dissipated.

The jade pendant automatically flew up again and hung around Qin Mu's neck, still hidden under his clothes, close to his skin.

Lava Earth Lord waved his hand and said, "This time we originally wanted to check the seal of the jade pendant. Now that the seal is secure, send him back. We can talk about everything after he dies."

The old man hurriedly asked: "After he dies, won't he still..."

Lava Tu Bo glanced at him, and he remembered that Tu Bo had told him not to speak, so he stopped talking immediately. Lava Tu Bo spun around and disappeared into the lava under his feet. A voice came from the lava: "Don't let anyone touch your jade pendant! Lord, don't talk to him when you send him away!"

Qin Mu quickly said, "Uncle Tu, I want to see my mother, is that possible?"

The lava soil disappeared.

Qin Mu stood there in a daze, feeling lost. After a moment, he said, "I just want to see my mother. I have never seen her before... Lord Fu, do you know what she looks like?"

The old man thought about it and nodded.

Qin Mu looked at him expectantly. The old man was really embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke and said, "Tu Bo has ordered that I cannot tell you more information."

Qin Mu asked excitedly: "Master, is my mother still alive?"

The old ghost hesitated for a moment. Qin Mu's expression really worried him, so he nodded and whispered, "Don't ask me anymore. I'm in a difficult situation. I'm already violating Tu Bo's order by talking to you. Let's go. It's still dark in Taihuangtian. I'll send you back to the world of the living."

Qin Mu had no choice but to follow him and board the boat. The young man remained silent.

The small boat slowly flew out from the cross-section of the continent at the Horn of Tube and sailed into the darkness.

Tu Bo's true body was extremely majestic, unknown how tall, how big, and how wide. The boat drifted in the darkness for a long time before it finally got away from the two winding Yellow Springs.

The old man looked around cautiously, occasionally raising the lantern to shine around, and threw a yellow talisman to Qin Mu, saying: "Those guys who want to find you will definitely not give up this opportunity. Put the yellow talisman on your face, and no gods or demons can see your face. Even if they see it, it's fake, just like me."

Qin Mu stuck the yellow talisman on his forehead and did not move.

"Why don't you poke two holes?" the old ghost asked curiously.

Qin Mu was disheartened and said gloomily, "I'm not interested."

The old man smiled and said, "It's just a child's temper."

At this moment, the boat suddenly stopped and stopped drifting.

The old man stood up, holding a lantern, and said calmly: "You still haven't given up?"

"Please give me a way to live!"

A voice came from the darkness, like countless voices overlapping each other: "We only want his face, his identity in the world of the living! We don't want his life now!"

The old ghost said coldly: "You are meddling too much, leave immediately, or I will come in my true form and you won't even be able to be ghosts!"

On the boat, Qin Mu quietly took out the Book of Life and Death he got from the Wushen Wei, shone it into the darkness, and was shocked to see a name appearing on the Book of Life and Death.

"Haha, haha, you've revealed your true colors..." The strange voice in the darkness quickly faded away.

The old man turned around, his eyes fell on the Book of Life and Death in Qin Mu's hand, he sighed, and said: "You know his true identity, and he also knows your identity. You are using the Book of Life and Death of the Heavenly Court. There are not many such treasures. He will find you soon. You... take care of yourself!"

Qin Mu was stunned, and then he realized what was wrong.
