Chapter 268 Letting the Ghost Escape
Zhang Dadan was also panting, but seeing that Qiu Shengwen didn't dare to speak, he could only say embarrassedly, "Uncle-Master, this is what happened... The three of us went to see a play, but it turned out the play was for ghosts. We didn't know that, and then..."
Zhang Dadan didn't speak, but Qianhe interrupted them: "You let the ghosts who were watching the ghost show escape, and then the mortuary was blocked by the ghost messengers, right?"
He already knows what's going on.
Zombie Supreme Plot!

"Ah, Uncle-Master, how did you know?"
"Yes, Uncle-Master, do you have the ability to foresee the future?"
The group was dumbfounded, never expecting their martial uncle to have such abilities.
"Putting aside the fact that I have such methods, your actions have really caused your master to suffer a great deal."
Chizuru looked at the group with a speechless expression.
He should be able to figure out his senior brother's fate.
That would mean losing money, or even losing your position as a bank manager.
"Wait... bank manager..." Chizuru raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself.
He compared the movie's content with the current situation, then stared intently at the three of them: "Tell me, is there a female ghost named Xiaoli who says she's being coerced by ghost messengers or something like that?"
"Huh? Uncle-Master, you're amazing! How could you know that?" Wen Cai stared at Qian He with his mouth agape in disbelief.
Qiu Sheng and Zhang Dadan had the same expression.
"Hmph, there's nothing I don't know in the world. I even know which dynasty came after the Qing Dynasty!" Qianhe sneered.
The three were shocked to hear this.
Do you know all the dynasties after the Qing Dynasty?
Although they are the Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty is still in power. Isn't this a bit too rebellious?
However, they still wanted Qianhe's help. Qiusheng was the first to put on a fawning smile and hurriedly said, "Uncle-Master, you are indeed incredibly resourceful. I didn't expect that you would know about dynasties after the Qing Dynasty!"
Wen Cai chimed in, "That's right, a person as powerful as you, Uncle-Master, will surely become famous throughout the Daoist sect in the future. This small Republic of China is not enough for you to show your skills. In the future, the whole world will be singing your praises."
............................
The concept of Earth existed during the Republic of China era; it's just that many people preferred to use the terms "天下" (tianxia) or "世界" (shijie).
The origin of the name "Earth" can be traced back to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
At that time, missionaries introduced Western geography to China and used the term "Earth" in the "Complete Map of the World".
Matteo Ricci first used the word "Earth" in his 1602 publication, "Complete Map of the World". He used the name "Earth" many times thereafter.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the name "Earth" was only used in China during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Wencai knows about these things in France, and even talks about French funerals, which shows that Wencai and his friends are not some country bumpkins.
Seeing this, Zhang Dadan quickly followed suit, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Yes, yes, Uncle-Master, you are like the brightest star in the night sky. It is a blessing from our past lives that we brothers can be your junior disciples."
Chizuru's lips twitched as she listened to the three men's flattery.
But a smile still crept onto his lips; these three clowns were just too funny: "Alright, alright, stop with the glib talk. We still have to clean up this mess."
"Yes, yes, yes, Uncle-Master is right!"
"That's right, my Uncle-Master Qianhe is invincible!"
Chizuru's lips twitched: "Stop flattering me, let's go check out the mortuary first!"
After saying that, he strode out of the Taoist temple. Qiu Sheng and Zhang Dadan exchanged a glance, then quickly grabbed Wen Cai and followed closely behind Qian He. As they walked, they kept babbling flattering words, their voices carrying far in the quiet night.
Just as he stepped out of the Taoist temple, he saw four people returning from the east, west, south, and north.
Afterwards, everyone closed the gates of the Taoist temple and headed together to the Renjia Town mortuary.
.........................
Upon arriving at the mortuary and pushing open the door, Chizuru saw ghost messengers dressed in black and white sitting in the mortuary's living room, waiting for her.
They were talking to each other, clearly spouting nonsense.
As they pushed open the door and entered, the four ghost messengers looked over at the same time.
They looked at Qianhe, then their eyes widened in surprise. They had thought it was Lin Fengjiao who had arrived, but it wasn't.
This time, they actually planned to replace Lin Fengjiao in her position as a bank manager.
The main reason is that the Ten Kings of Hell went to a meeting again. The four judges are the highest decision-makers in the entire underworld.
Oh, I should say three judges, because Zhong Kui, the judge in charge of punishing evil, also went to Heaven for a meeting.
As for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he didn't care about anything; he just chanted sutras to help people be reborn in the Pure Land.
However, because the remaining three judges were civil judges, they were unable to suppress the ghost kings and demon kings of the underworld.
Unable to contain them, the demon kings and ghost kings prepared to break out of the underworld and even take control of it!
When the human world's fortunes decline, demons and monsters will gain immense power and seize control of the human world again. After all, they almost succeeded during the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago!
I have never been one to fight, so I have no choice but to kill!
