The old Daoist silently put down his wine glass.

Lawyer An immediately poured another cup for Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze picked up his glass.

Honestly,

he wasn't in much of a mood to talk or tell stories right now. He was a little tired and wanted to rest. He could only vaguely say some words to appease the team:

"The Bodhisattva is gone. For now, we can rest."

Having said that,

he raised his glass

and took a sip.

Immediately afterward,

Zhou Ze stood up and said to Lawyer An:

"Get ready to buy plane tickets for tomorrow. We're going back."

After saying that, Boss Zhou left the room. Yingying should have already cleaned the bathtub and filled it with water.

After giving everyone some reassurance, the boss went to rest. The bookstore crowd in the room exchanged glances.

"Everyone, go back and pack your things. The boss is tired now, so there won't be a gathering tonight. I still have to go back later to help the boss with the discharge procedures, and there's a prepayment in the hospital that hasn't been withdrawn yet."

Everyone nodded and left the room one by one. Although they felt that Zhou Ze's mood was too low, after all, the opponent they faced was a Bodhisattva, and dealing with it must have been physically and mentally exhausting.

They were going back tomorrow, but at least tonight, they could truly get a good night's sleep.

After all, even if they weren't on the front lines fighting, the thought of facing a Bodhisattva on the front lines had made their moods heavy for some time.

In the room,

only old Zhang Tou, who continued to lean in the corner drinking, the old Daoist, and Lawyer An, who hadn't left, remained.

The old Daoist silently picked up his wine glass again and took a big gulp.

Lawyer An sighed, picked up the wine bottle, poured another cup for the old Daoist, and said with emotion:

"Old Daoist, you've worked hard."

The old Daoist remained silent and continued to drink.

Lawyer An, holding the red wine bottle, turned to look at old Zhang Tou in the corner and asked:

"Want some red to go with it?"

Old Zhang Tou hiccuped and glared at Lawyer An unhappily.

Lawyer An smiled, not taking it to heart. For them, they had only lost a friend, and the bookstore had lost a politically correct figure;

but for old Zhang Tou, he had lost a direct descendant, and he really needed some time to lick his wounds.

However, Lawyer An took out his phone and waved it at old Zhang Tou, saying:

"By the way, tell me when you're over your grief, and I'll tell you some good news."

Old Zhang Tou poured himself another mouthful of wine. His small body drinking so much baijiu was really abusing himself, but considering that his flesh body was from a corpse taken from the morgue, the original owner was probably already reincarnated, so it didn't matter.

In this world, it was indeed difficult to find a three-legged toad, but two-legged people were everywhere.

"What news?"

"I'll tell you when you've recovered."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed with joy and sorrow at the same time and something will go wrong."

"What is it!"

Old Zhang Tou asked, emboldened by the alcohol.

Lawyer An wasn't annoyed and stretched, saying:

"Xiao Feng's wife, you've met her, right? She's pregnant."

"............" Old Zhang Tou.

"You don't have their contact information, but I do. Xiao Feng posted a message on WeChat Moments saying he's going to be a father."

"Really, really?"

Old Zhang Tou immediately crawled over, which showed how excited he was.

"Really, they've already checked, and she's pregnant. After we go back tomorrow, you can find a way to go see them yourself.

Alright, you lost a grandson, but now you have a great-great-grandson coming. It's not too much of a loss, anyway, your current job allows you to stay in the mortal realm often, so you can go see them from time to time.

You can even find a pitiful, early-dead child's corpse to accompany your great-great-grandson to kindergarten. If any kid dares to bully him, you can help him beat them back!"

Although Lawyer An's words sounded strange and more like he was teasing himself, old Zhang Tou couldn't help but feel happy after hearing them.

"That's right, that's right."

Losing a grandson, but cultivating the next generation was also excellent. It was best to let this newborn child get rid of the fate of his old Zhang family.

"In the future, when this child is born, with my protection and guidance, he will definitely not be bad, hehe."

"Get over yourself, who do you think you are? His grandfather is watching over him in heaven."

"That's right, that's right, A-Feng will bless him in heaven, he will. Alright, there's a next generation, anyway, the bookstore doesn't need me to do anything big anymore.

After a while, I'll go back to the underworld to hand over my duties. Even if I can't be promoted anymore, even if they demote me to a patrol officer, as long as I can stay in the mortal realm and be with the child, I'll be satisfied."

Old Zhang had gone to heaven, and the bookstore was too embarrassed to continue making old Zhang Tou contribute.

Moreover, old Zhang Tou's personality, or rather, the old Zhang family's personality, was pretty much like this. They often took fame and fortune very lightly. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this family to be glorious generation after generation, starting from old Zhang Tou. A set of family male portraits showed more uniforms on the chairs than people.

"That won't do!"

Lawyer An took a sip of wine and directly reprimanded him.

Old Zhang Tou was stunned for a moment, "It's my own business, why won't it do?"

"Old Zhang Tou, once you're in the jianghu, you don't have control over your own life. Since you've already reached this position, you have to do as much as possible. I don't expect you to be famous and successful, but at the very least, being loyal to your duty is the bottom line, right?"

"Huh?"

"Without the underworld, without the system inherited from the Feng Jun lineage,

you would have already been reincarnated. Where would you have the leisure to think about enjoying the affection of a great-great-grandson?

What is this?

This is the underworld,

this is Feng Jun,

this is the blessing brought to us after the first Feng Jun rectified the chaos in hell!"

"............" Old Zhang Tou.

Old Zhang Tou instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Old Zhang Tou, you have to understand a principle."

"What principle?"

"Don't forget the well-digger when you drink the water!!!"

"Uh..." Old Zhang Tou.

"We should be worthy of our conscience, whether we're humans or ghosts. Tell me, is this principle right or not?"

"Right."

"Right what right? Have you been loyal to your conscience?"

"I............"

"Now you're only thinking about enjoying family affection, you're thinking about perfunctorily fulfilling your duties, you're thinking about resting, you're thinking about comfort, you're thinking about being lazy, but look, is now the time for you to rest, for you to indulge?"

"The Bodhisattva is gone, isn't the bookstore doing pretty well now?"

Old Zhang Tou didn't understand. Did Lawyer An take the wrong medicine today?

"The bookstore? The bookstore? Yes, the bookstore is our home, but the bookstore is just a small home!

Our small home is temporarily at peace, but shouldn't we look further ahead?"

"Further ahead?"

"Yes, further ahead!"

Lawyer An suddenly stood up and walked to the windowsill.

Outside,

was the sea,

which at this time was the best backdrop.

Lawyer An pointed in the direction of the sea,

and said forcefully:

"You don't know what the situation in hell is like now!

In the early years, the Ten Yama Kings were negligent in their duties, which led to the entire underworld being filled with a bunch of petty and incompetent wastrels!

The people below only cared about earning hell money, and the people above indulged in pleasure, and the order of yin and yang was just a show.

In reality, it was leaking everywhere!"

"Uh............" Old Zhang Tou.

"Now, it's even more ridiculous. A group of eunuchs came to power and messed up hell even more. They used people based on their looks and appearances!

Do you know,

Old Zhang Tou,

every night before I go to sleep,

whenever I think of the chaos in hell now, and the suffering of the millions of souls in hell,

my heart,

it hurts!

It hurts so much that I can't sleep at all!"

"Isn't it because the little boy isn't here that you're…………"

"But!"

Lawyer An shouted loudly, interrupting Old Zhang Tou's words.

"But, should we succumb to this?

No,

no,

no,

absolutely not!

They will succumb, they will admit defeat, they will go with the flow!

But An Buqi,

absolutely not!

My heart is forever towards Mount Tai!

They can be obsequious and recognize their enemies as fathers for the sake of official positions and fortune when the Ten Yama Kings come to power;

but An Buqi, will never do that!

But I hate it, I hate that I'm just one person, insignificant, I hate that I'm not capable, and after rising up to resist, I ended up in this situation of being a commoner with a crime."

"Isn't it because you love…………"

"Yes, the reason why I ended up in this situation is because of my love for hell, my love for the underworld, my love for Mount Tai!"

"............" Old Zhang Tou.

"I'm useless now, I'm just a commoner, I want to do something, I have a heart full of enthusiasm, I have a chest full of anger, but I can't.

However, you do, Old Zhang Tou!

You're a judge now, you have the ability to do something for hell!"

"No, An Buqi, you're today…………"

"I saw hope today!

The Bodhisattva is gone,

the big mountain that was pressing on our heads is finally gone!

I saw the hope of hell's restoration, I saw the day when hell welcomes the light!

I'm excited, I'm proud, my blood is rushing!

Old Zhang Tou, promise me, now is not the time to slack off, please continue to stick to your post, I believe that the darkness before us is temporary, and the dawn of victory is about to appear!

At this time, you must persevere, you must know that there are not many loyal ministers and good generals left.

I hate it, I hate that I'm just a criminal, a commoner, I hate why I'm not a judge, I hate why I'm not a Yama King now, I hate why I'm not King Equality!

If I were, I would never let the underworld fall to this point!"

"What dawn, look at our boss, he's so lazy, how could he…………"

"The future of hell, the fundamental problem of hell now, is still that the orthodoxy is not there. The only way to solve this problem is to let the Feng Jun lineage return, and let the majestic Mount Tai emit light again!

Do you know, Old Zhang Tou,

from the moment I became a ghost messenger,

in my heart,

there has been a dream.

This dream,

is called

Restoring Mount Tai!"
