Taoist Master Zixu heard his master's voice and ran out of the big tent, "Master, what's this?"

"What happened? Why did something happen to my senior brother all of a sudden?" Little Yan Bao followed his old disciple to the central military tent.

"Master, you are finally here. I couldn't explain it clearly for a moment. My great uncle suddenly collapsed while having the New Year's Eve dinner with the soldiers. The military doctor has tried to rescue him, but he really has no breath left." Taoist Zixu said in a crying voice.

"Don't cry yet, let me see first."

Mo Zixiu had been carried to the bed at this time, lying quietly on the bed, without any sign of life at all.

When Xiao Yanbao placed his hand on his senior brother's wrist, the voice of Ruyi Medical Classic appeared in his mind.

[Master, this man has no chance of being saved. His soul has left his body. He is completely dead.]

This was what Ruyi Yidian said. If it was said by Dahuang, Xiao Yanbao would definitely raise his hand and slap it.

[So what disease did my senior brother have? ]

[Master, your elder brother is not sick. ]

[How can a person die if he is not sick? ]

Ruyi Medical Classic stopped talking.

If it doesn't speak, it means it doesn't know.

But Ruyi Medical Classic still gave another explanation.

[Master, your senior brother's death may have other reasons. Why don't you ask his soul?]

Soul?

Ruyi Medical Classic said that the eldest senior brother's soul had left his body, so why didn't she see the eldest senior brother's soul when she came in?

Could it be that I came too late and the eldest brother’s soul had already been taken away by the ghost?

At this time, Ye Zeyan also ran in from outside. After vomiting out everything he had eaten at the palace banquet, he felt better.

Still a bit top-heavy though.

"Sister, how is General Mo?"

"Brother, Zixu, you stay here to protect my senior brother. I will go to the underworld to retrieve my senior brother's soul."

Zixu nodded, "Go ahead, Master."

He asked his master to come here because he wanted him to go to see the King of Hell. He didn't believe that the King of Hell would not give his master this face.

When Ye Zeyan heard his sister say that they were going to find General Mo's soul, he was not so nervous anymore.

His soul was once taken away by the Flame Scale Beast, but his sister has been found, so General Mo's soul can also be found.

"Sister, then you should go and come back soon."

Little Yan Bao took out the gold-inscribed plaque of the King of Hell and disappeared in an instant.

When I arrived at the Palace of Yama, it was still empty, with no sign of Yama.

"Old Black, Old White." Little Yan Bao shouted.

Soon the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons arrived. When they saw Yan Bao, they spoke without waiting for Yan Bao to ask, "The King of Hell hasn't come back yet, and neither have Old Black and Old White."

"I'm not here to look for them this time. I'm here to look for my senior brother. Who brought my senior brother's soul to the underworld?"

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons looked at each other and said, "Ever since the King of Hell left the underworld, there has been no ghost messenger to take souls away from the human world."

"What? The King of Hell is away and you're all slacking off?"

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon shook their heads and said, "It's not that we are lazy. It's because the King of Hell has to hand over the names of the dead in the Book of Life and Death to us every day, so that we can go to the human world to take souls with us."

Little Yanbao touched the Ruyi bag and found that the Book of Life and Death was still with him.

"You mean, if the King of Hell doesn't cross out those people's names, then they won't die?"

“Not really, but only those whose names are crossed out by the King of Hell are considered truly dead. Only then can the underworld take them away and they can be reincarnated.” Niu Tou said.

Xiao Yanbao: If that’s the case, then the spirit of our eldest senior brother has not come to the underworld.

"Then where do the souls that don't come to the underworld go?" asked Xiao Yanbao.

"This one will usually stay where it is. The new soul won't leave the corpse too far." said the Horse-Faced Demon.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Yanbao confirmed.

"It's usually like this. A new soul has no ability to move in the human world. If the soul is not next to the corpse, it will either be scattered or abducted." said the Horse-Faced Guard.

Xiao Yanbao nodded to show that he understood.

"The King of Hell has been missing for so many days. Aside from the Black and White Impermanence, has your underworld sent out no other ghosts to look for him?" Little Yan Bao asked again.

She still wanted to confirm whether the King of Hell was missing or hiding.

Now that the eldest senior brother is in trouble, little Yan Bao feels that the King of Hell has gone into hiding.

The King of Hell saw the eldest brother’s life span in the Book of Life and Death, and was afraid that he would ask him to change the book, so he hid.

"Of course, it's not just them two who are looking for him. The ghost kings from all over the place have already mobilized their men to look for the whereabouts of the King of Hell, but there is still no definite news." Niu Tou said.

Xiao Yanbao: Could it be that the King of Hell really has run into some trouble and is trapped somewhere and can’t come back?

But the most important thing now is not to find the King of Hell, but to find the soul of the eldest brother.

The King of Hell also needs to be found, because now that the eldest brother's soul has been found, the King of Hell needs to help send it back to the body.

"Okay, the King of Hell is back, you go and tell me." Little Yan Bao said, taking out two pills from his Ruyi bag and handing them into the hands of the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons were all smiling happily. They didn't expect that they could also get Xiao Yanbao's elixir.

The Black and White Impermanence often showed off to the two of them.

However, the King of Hell always likes to take the Black and White Impermanence with him when he goes out. The only time the two of them followed him was when they were dragged up by mistake.

Now, hehehehe!

"Okay, Yan Bao, don't worry. Not to mention the King of Hell's return, we will tell you as long as there is any news about him. If you want to know anything in the future, just tell us two brothers." Niu Tou said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Yanbao had already planned to go back, but after hearing what Niutou said, he stopped.

"Then do you know how to open the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death? I mean to read the words inside."

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons looked at each other with an embarrassed expression on their faces. "We really don't know. The Book of Life and Death belongs to the King of Hell. Only the King of Hell can open it. It's useless if someone else gets the Book of Life and Death. Otherwise, those who want to tamper with the Book of Life and Death will find ways to steal it. Besides, to modify the Book of Life and Death, we need to use the Judge's Pen..."

The Horse-Faced Guard tugged at the corner of the Bull-Headed Man's clothes, and the Bull-Headed Man realized that he had said too much, so he shut up.

Little Yanbao took note of it.

"Thank you both, remember what you promised me."

Xiao Yanbao took out the black plate with gold characters again, and in the blink of an eye he was back to the central military camp of Fengjia Pass.

"Sister, has General Mo's soul been brought back?" Ye Zeyan asked while looking behind Xiao Yanbao.

Logically speaking, the King of Hell or the Black and White Impermanence would come along.

"Master, have you found the soul of our great uncle?" Taoist Zixu also looked behind Xiao Yanbao.

Xiao Yanbao didn't say anything and pulled Zixu out.

Ye Zeyan: What? Is there something that my sister wants to say behind his back?
