Chapter 1634: Chapter 1481: Yin Yang Inn 37
The soul body cannot shed tears, and once it does, they must be blood tears, and what blood tears deplete is one’s own Soul Power. If one cries too much, they will disperse, yet Miss Chen keeps shedding blood tears without stopping.
Although Miss Chen’s brother cannot move, he is conscious, and his wooden face, with those eyes full of worry and pain.
Shuangshuang sighed. This Miss Chen is truly both pitiable and hateful, and pathetic. Fortunately, although her brother has become a Corpse Puppet, he’s only a Half Corpse, discarding the physical body still offers a chance at reincarnation.
Shuangshuang raised her hand, ready to help Miss Chen’s brother find release. But before Shuangshuang could act, the Yin Qi and Ghost Qi that had dispersed from the Corpse Ghost earlier and hadn’t yet faded started to stir around them.
Then, the Yin Qi and Ghost Qi were swiftly absorbed by Miss Chen’s brother, and because the absorption speed was too fast, the Yin Qi and Ghost Qi even formed a vortex, quickly being absorbed clean by Miss Chen’s brother.
Miss Chen’s brother intended to directly transform into a Corpse Ghost. Shuangshuang could have stopped it, but she moved her fingers, yet chose not to act.
Shuangshuang was bold because her skills were high, thinking that even if he turned into a Corpse Ghost, he couldn’t create much trouble. It was better to observe what this person intended to do.
Miss Chen’s brother was already in a Half Corpse state, and now the transformation to a Corpse Ghost was extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a new Corpse Ghost.
However, his appearance did not change to a two-meter tall figure with a green face and long fangs, but returned to a normal human appearance; though his complexion changed from pale to the bluish-white of a corpse.
His body became even more emaciated, looking like a walking corpse, which, in truth, he now was, appearing very frightening.
After becoming a Corpse Ghost, he shot a glance at his sister, and then immediately knelt down before Shuangshuang and Li Yu, directly kowtowing.
"Honored sirs, my sister’s sins are unforgivable, I only beg that you show mercy, let me accumulate Ten Directions Merits for my sister, to redeem her sins and let her have the chance to reincarnate."
Miss Chen’s brother was so weak from illness that he couldn’t even leave the house, and he passed the time by reading mixed records and stories of gods and ghosts.
It’s not that Miss Chen’s brother didn’t want to read serious books, but his stepmother feared his success and deliberately brought him stories, mixed records, tales of gods and ghosts, kinds of miscellany to read. Reading such books too much sways the mind, which is no benefit.
Luckily, Miss Chen’s brother’s nature remained good despite reading such books extensively. Instead of changing his nature, he gained a bit of real and fictional knowledge about these affairs of Yin Ghosts.
For instance, he understood that if one harmed others greatly in life, they would not enter reincarnation after death and have to be subject to punishment in Hell, and that one could do good deeds, accumulate Merits to redeem the sins of the guilty.
For example, Corpse Ghosts and zombies don’t enter the cycle of reincarnation, so he ruthlessly abandoned reincarnation, absorbing the remaining Yin Qi and Ghost Qi previously scattered from the Corpse Ghost to transform into a Corpse Ghost himself.
What he thought was that by becoming a Corpse Ghost, he wouldn’t have to worry about reincarnation, and thus he could remain outside to do good deeds, accumulating Merits to redeem his sister’s sins.
He considered how many people his sister had killed and figured she would need Ten Directions Merits to redeem those sins, thus he said he would fill that for her.
As for whether Shuangshuang would allow him the opportunity to do good, or whether they might directly capture him to Hell for punishment, he didn’t know at all. He just wanted to save his sister, with no time to think of anything else.
Shuangshuang found it slightly amusing, sighing: "Do you even know what Ten Directions Merits are? Ten Directions are the Merits of the entire void. It signifies all worlds, and besides the Buddha Immortals who attain Dao and become Immortal Gods, who else could have the ability to gather Ten Directions Merits?"
Miss Chen’s brother listened in confusion because he was only speaking. How would he understand what Ten Directions Merits meant? Since storybooks often write about attaining Dao and becoming immortal after accumulating Ten Directions Merits, thus he spoke of this.
By this time, Miss Chen recovered from the upheaval of this incident. How could she let her brother make such a sacrifice for her?
Miss Chen threw herself over, pleading continuously to Shuangshuang and Li Yu: "Honored sirs, all mistakes are mine, it was me who became possessed and committed grave wrongs. I am willing to go to Hell for punishment.
But my brother is innocent, he has never done any wrong. I beg you, save my brother. No matter what price I must pay, I am willing."
Miss Chen truly regretted it, as her brother had adored her since childhood. When she was young, although her brother was frail, his health had not yet declined to the point of being bedridden.
When she was a child, she played too much, fell into the icy lake, and her brother saved her by staying in the icy water for a long time that winter, resulting in a serious illness that didn’t heal, and his stepmother even switched his medicine, almost leading to his death, leaving him weakened to this state.
Miss Chen always felt guilty, wanting to make up for her brother’s sacrifices. She never imagined her foolish actions would harm him, leading him to the current state, it was her fault.
Shuangshuang sighed, waved a hand to collect Miss Chen’s soul, and then said to the slightly anxious and flustered Young Master Chen watching her: "It’s not impossible to redeem sins with Merits for her.
Ten Directions Merits aren’t necessary, you just need to atone for her mistakes with a hundred times the Merit, and that can grant your sister a chance for reincarnation, but before that, she still needs to be punished in Hell.
Originally, after her punishment, she would be directly sent to the Soul Destruction Platform for the punishment of ashes and smoke, but you need to accumulate full Merit for her redemption before she heads to the Soul Destruction Platform.
But you must understand, being a Corpse Ghost, you are inherently unaccepted by the world, and doing good deeds is even more challenging.
Because all cultivators in this world would see you as demonic and attack to kill you on sight, yet you can’t fight back because if you take a life, you will bear the consequences and be pursued by the Underworld.
In such a scenario, accumulating full Merit will be incredibly challenging. A slight misstep may lead to eternal damnation for you, do you still wish to accumulate Merits to redeem your sister’s sins?
You have not harmed anyone, although you have become a Corpse Ghost, you are sin-free. I can send you into the Underworld, and the Netherworld King can help strip away your mortal body, allowing you a good rebirth."
However, Young Master Chen shook his head resolutely: "Thank you for your kindness, but I cannot disregard my sister. Although she made mistakes, ultimately for my sake.
I, as the elder brother, akin to a father, should indeed bear the responsibility of guiding my sister. It is my dereliction that led her down the wrong path, as her brother, naturally I should atone for your sins."
Seeing Young Master Chen’s firm resolve, Shuangshuang didn’t persuade further. She raised her hand, releasing a beam of golden light which instantly entered Young Master Chen’s body.
The golden light landed at the center of Young Master Chen’s brow, transforming into a small talisman-like symbol.
