Chapter 142 The Mad God

Jun Jixue thought for a long time and shook his head, "I still don't understand."

I laughed, "It's like a court. The emperor is the greatest, and below him are various officials. The emperor won't stop the infighting between his officials. Why?"

"Because the emperor wants his officials to be at odds, but all loyal to him."

"If the officials don't fight each other, then they will unite to fight the emperor."

"Replace the emperor with the head of a family, and the officials with his wives, big and small, and the principle is the same."

"According to Mang Yi, that family brought two wives through the door that year. But, only one of them could give birth to a Tanlang star."

"Tell me, wouldn't they fight each other?"

Jun Jixue suddenly realized, "You mean, the person who took the child away that year wasn't among the warlocks, but within that family?"

"That's right!" I nodded. "The two wives that family married should have been ghosts and gods themselves, otherwise, the second half of the nursery rhyme wouldn't have come true."

"One ghost and god gave that family a child, where is the other ghost and god?"

As Jun Jixue nodded slightly, Lin Zhao asked, "What's the matter with you asking that woman to bring Jie Sanbao over?"

I laughed, "This principle is even simpler."

"Back then, both the bandit Xue Li Hong and Jie Sanbao entered Erlin Town. Xue Li Hong disappeared without a trace, but Jie Sanbao got out. Do you think an ordinary person can enter Erlin Town, and why could he leave the land of ghosts and gods unharmed?"

"Reincarnation!" Lin Zhao's eyes widened. "You mean, someone who had a close relationship with Erlin Town in the past was reincarnated as Jie Sanbao? That young master?"

I nodded, "That's the only explanation."

According to the saying in the world of術道 (Shu Dao, the Dao of Occultism): the karma of the previous life is not broken, and there will always be a meeting in this life.

If Jie Sanbao is the reincarnation of that young master, the place where he meets the ghost and god must be Erlin Town.

Lin Zhao whispered, "Doesn't that mean that Jie Yueling should be Jie Sanbao's wife in his previous life? This... this is too ridiculous, right?"

While Lin Zhao was silent, a ghost cry suddenly came from Erlin Town.

The doors and windows of the teahouse opened one after another, and a gust of yin wind swept in from outside the door.

As Jun Jixue and I looked outside at the same time, Erlin Town was already in a frenzy of wind, and the roof tiles were dancing wildly in the howling wind like a pile of shredded paper.

Streams of wronged souls were swept into the air by the gust of wind, and torn apart by the ghost claws extending from the wind.

A bloody dress fluttered faintly in the air, rushing towards the center of Erlin Town amidst the screams of ghosts.

As I looked up at the sky, Jun Jixue had already said, "This is your real purpose, isn't it?"

"You knew that ghost and god wouldn't easily believe you, so you deliberately brought up the infighting between that family's wives. Perhaps, that ghost and god had the same doubts in her heart, but no one had pointed it out to her."

"You revealed the secrets of the past, and in her madness, she would definitely fight that family to the death. A mad ghost and god won't care about the truth at all, all she wants is to vent the anger in her chest."

"Jie Yueling wants to protect Jie Sanbao, so she has to fight her to the death. When two tigers fight, you can reap the benefits."

I nodded, "You could say that. I think Brother Jun shouldn't find it difficult to understand my way of doing things, right?"

Jun Jixue said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "I can understand, but I'm also a little surprised. This is a bit different from the way Chief Li always likes to gamble with his life!"

I laughed loudly, "There are many kinds of gambling with life. A trapped beast still fighting, seeking life from death, seeking victory in danger can all be called gambling with life. But there are still some differences."

"Actually, I'm also gambling with my life now."

"The warlocks trapped in Erlin Town should have thought of this result long ago. But why didn't any of them remind that ghost and god?"

I said in a deep voice, "Because they don't dare to gamble with their lives!"

"Because none of them is confident that their guesses are foolproof. If they win the bet, they may reap the benefits, but if they lose, it will be equivalent to offending two ghosts. There won't even be time to beg for mercy. Therefore, they would rather be trapped here and eke out a living than gamble on it."

As I was speaking, I heard someone say coldly, "Li Po, you are so ruthless!"

"Jie Yueling, you're finally willing to come out." As I turned around and looked at Jie Yueling who suddenly appeared at the door, my gaze narrowed slightly.

The Jie Yueling in front of me was no different from when I first saw her, even her clothes were exactly the same.

It was precisely because there was no difference that I found it strange.

Shouldn't Jie Yueling be wearing a wedding dress?

Jie Yueling said coldly, "I didn't want you to come, but you still came."

"I wanted to drive you away, but you refused to leave."

"I have no grievances or hatred with you, why must you disturb my peace?"

I said lightly, "Jie Yueling, do you really have peace?"

Jie Yueling didn't know how to answer my question for a moment.

But I continued, "If you had peace, we wouldn't have come to Erlin Town. The person who is really disturbing your peace is not us, but fate."
