Chapter 1962 Revenge is Needed!
Chapter 1962 Revenge is Needed!
Lu Zhaoling and the others all knew that something must have happened to Yama in the mortal realm, and that he was injured.
It could still be a fatal injury.
Otherwise, his ring would have been lost and used by ghost cultivators to commit evil deeds in the mass grave, and most of his Netherworld power would have been devoured.
How could this be a normal regression?
Normally, returning to the Netherworld requires a period of slumber. But now, those who are seriously injured and cannot return normally are likely to remain in a state of slumber for an unknown period.
"Is it because most of his Netherworld power was consumed that he turned into a child?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
Yin Changxing nodded.
"Very likely."
"He only has a little bit of Netherworld power left, so he can only try to take human form. That might not be enough to support him in his original form, and he can only take the form of a small child."
"When I looked at Yama before, he was a child. The clothes he wore and the tiger-head shoes he had were very much like the life of an ordinary person."
Lu Zhaoling suddenly wondered, "If he died and became a child ghost, where did he get all these clothes and shoes from?"
"Is it possible that he was once a kind-hearted person who didn't know he was a ghost and took him home?"
"Senior Sister, isn't it a bit too boring for you to be guessing about this?" Yin Yunting said, both amused and exasperated. "This doesn't seem to be an important matter."
Even if someone in the mortal world helped you or even cared for you for a few days, it's not a big deal.
Lu Zhaoling paused for a moment, "I don't think this is a small matter. Because, Yama also has similar tiger-head shoes hidden here."
"Really?" Yin Yunting was taken aback.
Lu Zhaoling initially felt it wasn't a good idea to reveal Yan Jun's situation, but since he was currently injured and asleep, she felt she had to tell him anything that could help him wake up as soon as possible.
Moreover, these are her master and junior brother, both of whom she trusts completely, so she naturally wouldn't talk about others.
"Let me take a look," Yin Changxing said.
He paused for a moment, then said, “If Yama blames you in the future, just push the blame onto your master and say that it was your master who saw it.”
Lu Zhaoling said, "It's okay, he shouldn't blame me."
"Of course, if I'm really blamed, I'll drag Master and Junior Brother down with me." Lu Zhaoling said as she ran to get her things.
Yin Yunting remained silent.
He really had to thank her; did she always have to drag him into everything?
Lu Zhaoling took the wooden box and opened it to show them.
Yin Yunting saw the pair of tiger-head shoes; the tiger heads on these shoes were slightly different from those on the Great Zhou side.
The tiger-head shoes made here for children have tiger heads that look rather silly and cute.
However, on this pair of shoes, the tiger head is clearly embroidered with more emphasis on the eyes, making it look somewhat fierce.
Generally speaking, this might frighten children.
But there's a place...
Before Yin Yunting could speak, Yin Changxing had already spoken.
"This is the embroidery style from Nanzhao."
Lu Zhaoling was stunned.
Nanzhao again?
Yin Yunting did not expect that his father also knew.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I've heard that in Nanzhao, tiger-head shoes are made for the male members of the family who are valued, and the tiger's eyes are embroidered very majestically."
"You mean, only the most favored children in the family can wear this?" Lu Zhaoling asked. "Not all children can wear it?"
“There is a difference.” Yin Yunting pointed to the tiger head. “The tiger’s eyes are made of gold thread, and there are three horizontal embroidered lines on the tiger head, which is the meaning of the Tiger King. It is not something that ordinary families can use, because they are afraid that their children’s fate is too weak to handle such things.”
Lu Zhaoling was now somewhat bewildered.
If Yan Jun was her grandfather, then her grandfather was from the Lu family, which was not a wealthy family.
The Lu family in the countryside were only considered to be doing alright; they weren't so poor that they had to beg for food.
Moreover, these tiger-head shoes aren't the same kind of shoes in their rural hometown.
She then looked at Yama on the bed.
She didn't know what Old Man Lu's twin brother looked like, but if he was Old Man Lu's twin brother, they should look very similar, right?
She looked closely at Yan Jun and didn't think he looked like Old Man Lu.
Yin Yunting seemed to know what she was thinking. He looked at her and then at Yan Jun.
"Are you looking at whether King Yan looks like that old man from the Lu family?"
"how do you know?"
Yin Yunting wanted to say, "I raised you, don't I know you?"
But before he could say anything, he immediately began to explain for her.
"Actually, even if they looked similar before, as long as Yama remembers his own identity, his appearance will revert to his own. He looks exactly like himself now."
"Therefore, King Yama definitely doesn't look like Old Man Lu. He may have used a similar appearance to Old Man Lu before, but that was only temporary."
In the past, Old Man Lu's twin brother was no longer alive, so naturally there was no one who looked like him.
Lu Zhaoling suddenly realized.
It turned out to be the case.
Then she no longer needs to judge based on appearance.
"Besides, didn't Old Man Lu and the others say that his older brother disappeared when he was very young?"
Yin Yunting added, "It is very likely that after disappearing, Yan Jun was taken to Nanzhao by someone."
"He was probably a few years old at that time, so it's not surprising that he had a pair of tiger-head shoes from Nanzhao."
Lu Zhaoling said, "Does this mean that after he went to Nanzhao, he lived in a prominent family?"
"Yes, very likely."
Lu Zhaoling sighed.
"I thought that once I found the King of Hell, I would know everything, but who knew that he would remain in a deep sleep forever."
It's infuriating. Couldn't they have waited until she asked a few questions before falling asleep?
She glared at Yin Yunting.
Upon seeing her like this, Yin Yunting instantly understood her thoughts. Before Lu Zhaoling could unreasonably shift the blame onto him, he spoke up first.
"Senior Sister, are you going to say that I suddenly threw the ring to Yama, catching you off guard and causing him to fall into a deep sleep?"
Lu Zhaoling snorted, "It's good that you know, why are you in such a hurry?"
“Let’s be reasonable,” Yin Yunting reached out and tapped her on the head. “If he didn’t get the ring and doesn’t remember anything from before, asking him won’t help.”
So it doesn't matter when he gives you the ring.
Anyway, she never had the chance to ask Yama.
That seems to be true.
Seeing her frustrated expression, Yin Changxing comforted her, "Don't worry, it's not like the King of Hell won't wake up. Let's ask him when he wakes up."
"I don't know how long we'll have to wait." Lu Zhaoling sighed again.
“There is a way,” Yin Changxing said. “If we can find the person or ghost who has consumed most of Yama’s Netherworld Power, and retrieve the Netherworld Power for him, he will regain consciousness very quickly.”
Lu Zhaoling's eyes lit up.
"Then let's go find him! Even if it's not to wake Yama up, we have to avenge him!"
This is outrageous! How could Yama, the Queen of Hell, be bullied like this?!
And no matter what, we must get our Nether Force back!
