Chapter 40 Sea God?
East China Sea coast.
Zhou Ping and Poseidon both frowned and looked up at the sky. A helicopter that should never have been there appeared in the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Ling Yunxiao leaped down amidst the howling wind, followed closely by Wang Mian, who frowned. The moment they landed, time seemed to freeze for a second, before they landed steadily in front of Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping raised an eyebrow. He recognized Wang Mian, but the person beside him must be the agent of the ancient god.
"This is not a place for you to get involved in. What are you doing here?"
Zhou Ping was puzzled. He alone was enough to stop Poseidon's advance, so whether the two of them came or not made little difference.
"Arrogant and ignorant ants, are you testing my patience?"
Poseidon felt once again despised by mortals. He glared angrily at Ling Yunxiao, preparing to obliterate him with a single finger.
Ling Yunxiao raised his head and smiled slightly at Poseidon.
He had become quite adept at using the judge's pen in front of him, and quickly wrote a line of words.
"An old friend returns from the Bridge of Helplessness!"
A strong wind swept through, and the clear sky instantly turned gray. What was once a bright and sunny day had become a pitch-black night in a short time.
“The Yin Law Enforcement Bureau’s Cui Jue has come in response to the summons and greets Your Excellency.”
The frail scholar in the red official robe reappeared. He nodded slightly to Ling Yunxiao, then looked up at Poseidon.
"What is this thing? How can it be so ugly?"
"You...you...you are a god of the Great Xia? Aren't you all dead? I am Poseidon, the god of the sea! How dare you, a lowly deity, be so disrespectful to me! You are simply courting death!"
"Looking for death? Heh... Thank you for telling me your name."
With a bright and gentle smile on his face, Cui Jue opened his palm, and the Book of Man and the Judge's Pen appeared in his hand the instant he did so.
As Cui Jue moved his wrist slightly, Poseidon instantly felt himself being enveloped by a terrifying death aura so powerful that it made his soul tremble. This strange power was like a sharp blade, slicing through his body, penetrating deep into his soul, and leaving a mark.
"The Sea God? Besides those Ao Guang clansmen from the four seas, I do know a Great God of the Three Altars Sea Assembly. If you don't escape now, I'll take you to see him. How about it?"
As Cui Jue spoke, he had already written Poseidon's name with his judge's pen, and at that moment, he added a horizontal line after his name.
"Oh!"
The bright blue blood scattered across the sky, and Poseidon's body instantly transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the East China Sea. In a short while, a fierce wind arose, and towering waves rose on the sea.
However, the giant wave did not crash down on the three people on the shore, but instead surged into the depths of the ocean at an unbelievable speed.
"Tsk tsk... No wonder it's a god, it runs really fast."
Ling Yunxiao sneered. At this moment, Cui Jue had finished writing the character "death".
"My lord, this boy's name has now been recorded in my register. If you have the opportunity to meet him again, you only need to make a light stroke on his name."
After Cui Jue finished speaking, he was about to leave when he saw Zhou Ping, and he frowned and stopped.
"You are very similar to one of my closest friends. Your swords must also be the kind of swords that are used with the spirit of sacrificing one's life. Young man, you have a long way to go. This kind of swordsmanship is not advisable."
"Thank you for the reminder, Immortal. However, my swordsmanship is what I desire in my heart. Unless I abandon the sword, I cannot change it in the slightest."
Zhou Ping smiled helplessly at Cui Jue. He never thought he was on the path to death. He was a chivalrous knight who simply swung his sword when he saw injustice.
"Hehehe... As expected, how can people like you be changed by a few words from others?"
Cui Jue shook his head and smiled bitterly. He held the Book of Life and Death and bowed reverently. The pages turned, and after a moment, a page slowly fell into Cui Jue's hands. A look of surprise flashed in Cui Jue's eyes. He carefully placed the page in Ling Yunxiao's hands.
“Write him a book about living towards death, and as long as you still hold the book of humanity, he will take control of his own life and death.”
As soon as Cui Jue finished speaking, the illusory figure could no longer maintain its form and was blown away by a sea breeze onto the beach.
Without hesitation, Ling Yunxiao picked up the judge's pen and wrote down four words with utmost seriousness.
"Living towards death"
The moment the pen touched the paper, the page transformed into a tiny leaf, fluttering lightly into Zhou Ping's hand, then turning into a stream of light that landed between Zhou Ping's eyebrows.
"What did you do? This thing looks very valuable."
Unable to detect anything unusual about his body, Zhou Ping could only ask Ling Yunxiao.
Ling Yunxiao was just following Cui Jue's instructions. What exactly he did still needs to be explained by the Judge's Pen. Fortunately, the Judge's Pen really knew and informed Ling Yunxiao without hesitation.
"The illusory figure of the Great Xia Underworld just now separated your Book of Life and Death from the Six Paths. Now, your Book of Life and Death has been integrated into your body, and no one in heaven or on earth can seize your soul. Moreover, as long as you feel that your lifespan has not ended, no matter how serious your injury or how terrible your curse, you will still have a breath left."
As for recovery and treatment, please contact me promptly. No matter how far away you are, as long as I am alive and you have a breath left, you will be full of life again.
"Then wouldn't I be able to live forever?"
Zhou Ping blinked. "It's just a piece of paper, how can it be so powerful?"
"You could say that. After all, a single sheet of paper in the Book of Life and Death is a book of life and death. And your book of life and death only has your own name written on it, so you must be extraordinary."
Ling Yunxiao didn't know how to answer, so he could only repeat the words of the judge's pen.
"Such a generous gift, why give it to me? Shouldn't it be given to someone who needs it more?"
Zhou Ping was confused again at this moment. Could he really afford such a magical thing?
"Mr. Zhou, you have been kind to me in the past, and it is my heartfelt wish to help you."
Moreover, that ghostly figure from the underworld wasn't under my control either. Then again, as for establishing a separate Book of Life and Death, I absolutely cannot do it now, and I think it's uncertain whether I'll ever be able to do it in my lifetime.
He saw you as an old friend, found you agreeable, so he gave you the gift. The person has already been scattered by the wind, and the Book of Life and Death is now in your body. How can you still bring it up and say you've lived enough and don't want it anymore?
"That's not a big deal..."
Zhou Ping was taken aback by Ling Yunxiao's final, shameless question, and then he laughed. As the saying goes, no one would consider living a long life a bad thing.
"Senior, we need to hurry back to Cangnan, so we won't say any more. We will definitely pay you a visit when we have the chance."
"Sure, come over for dinner sometime."
Zhou Ping smiled and casually slipped Ling Yunxiao a business card for his third uncle's local restaurant. Ling Yunxiao nodded seriously, put the card in his pocket, and was then grabbed by Wang Mian and jumped up again. After several leaps, they were back on the helicopter.
"Destination: Cangnan, let's go!"
