Chapter 1730 Taking Lives
Judge?
Duan Fan was shocked, but at that moment, half of the mist in front of the judge automatically dissipated, and he saw the appearance of the black-robed man sitting there.
That is......
A cold and aloof judge.
At this moment, the judge reached out and wiped the air on the table, and a black book with shimmering gold edges appeared.
Duan Fan was shocked again, because this was something he had heard of before and had seen described in books as the Book of Life and Death!
He was still in shock, but when he saw the other party grab the Judge's Pen and it reappear in his hand, Duan Fan's expression changed drastically.
If this was just a trick played by Yin Yunting, an illusion created to confuse him, then how did he know what the Judge's Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen looked like?
They heard that Yama and the judge had both disappeared.
Could it be that Yin Yunting had never met the judge?
At this moment, Duan Fan's carefully constructed mental composure began to crumble. Mainly, he couldn't quite believe that someone could actually create a Judge like that.
But he still harbored a sliver of hope—
After all, they are from the First Mystic Sect. If they really wanted to do something like this, it should be possible, right?
"If you do not answer, this judge will find out the answer himself."
The judge spoke calmly, and with a flick of his hand across the Book of Life and Death, the book turned its pages rapidly on its own.
Seeing this scene so realistically, Duan Fan's heart grew increasingly panicked. He wanted to retreat, but the chilling, icy Ghost Abyss Mist enveloped him from behind. Just getting close to the mist made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, as if his blood was about to freeze, and his teeth were chattering from the cold.
The coldness felt so real, it didn't seem like an illusion at all.
If it were an illusion, would it really have been able to pull him in so quickly, causing him to lose all judgment so soon?
The judge seemed unafraid of him retreating, displaying an air of certainty that "you absolutely cannot get out."
The Book of Life and Death flipped through its pages rapidly.
He moved his hand, and the pages he was flipping through stopped.
Yin Yunting glanced down at it.
He wasn't sure if he could find Duan Fan's Book of Life and Death, since his memories as a judge hadn't fully returned.
So he was just giving it a try. He had already decided to make up a story even if he couldn't find anything, since he had already figured something out from Duan Fan's face.
But now, looking at the words appearing on the page, he was startled.
This page actually contains Duan Fan's life story and destiny record.
He actually found out.
Yin Yunting quickly finished reading the contents recorded above before raising his eyes and meeting Duan Fan's cold gaze.
No matter how much Duan Fan told himself that this was fake, an illusion created by Yin Yunting, when he met the judge's gaze, even his soul trembled, his whole body stiffened instantly, and an icy chill crept in from the soles of his feet.
He simply couldn't control or suppress this feeling.
It's like the fear you feel when you actually meet the gaze of a judge from the underworld.
With a thud, Duan Fan found himself kneeling down!
Before he could even process what was happening, his knees had already buckled.
After kneeling down, Duan Fan didn't have the courage or strength to stand up. His hands clenched tightly, and his whole body trembled.
why?
"Duan Fan was born in Tongye Lane, Nanshao, into a family of military officers, but he was physically weak and sickly from a young age. He was disliked by his biological father and was not favored from childhood."
The judge's voice had already rang out.
Frog looked up at the judge with admiration.
Do we really need the Prince of Jin to send someone to investigate? The judge could simply look through the Book of Life and Death and find out.
But does the Book of Life and Death record such details?
He didn't know that it was because Duan Fan's fate was different that it was recorded so clearly.
"But all the children of the Duan family are required to contribute to the family. Since you cannot practice martial arts, you were sent by your family to a Taoist temple to study. The original intention was to make you a Taoist priest so that you could help the family with feng shui and maintain their fortune. However, you don't seem to have any talent for esoteric arts and feng shui."
"At the age of sixteen, I was supposed to die protecting someone from disaster, but I was given a second life by someone else through evil magic. As a result, my talent increased greatly, and I had a photographic memory. I was able to memorize three thousand poems and books and became the top scholar in the imperial examination."
Duan Fan's face was deathly pale, his expression one of disbelief, and his teeth were chattering incessantly.
Fear washed over me like water.
He was truly incredulous. Why, why did they investigate his affairs so thoroughly?
He felt that no one could possibly know about these things.
Those who lacked martial arts talent and were too weak to even kill a chicken, yet were sent to temples to learn, can indeed be found.
But what happened after he died saving others is something even his family doesn't know!
The Duan family all assumed that he had learned such skills in the Taoist temple and had no idea of the inside story!
The person he saved back then, and the person who helped him prolong his life, were the same person—his master.
His master would never tell anyone about this!
Only he and his master knew about this. How did Yin Yunting find out? Could it be that he really is the Judge?
"Even if you use evil magic to prolong your life and become the top scholar in the imperial examination, you should still die of illness two years later."
The judge continued speaking.
Because that was the fate that the person whose life was taken was originally destined for.
When they borrowed someone's life, they didn't know that the person they were borrowing wasn't going to live a long life either.
It was too late when I found out.
Therefore, Duan Fan will need to find another suitable person to extend his life two years later.
This time, he's determined to find someone who lives a very long life.
The person his master helped him find happened to be in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This person also has some connection with Yin Yunting.
He plans to get closer to the other party within the next two years, and once they become familiar with each other, things will be much easier.
But now these secrets have all been revealed by the judge.
Duan Fan could no longer suppress his fear.
No matter how much he told himself that these things were false, it was all useless now.
The mere fact that this secret was revealed had already shattered his mental defenses.
At that moment, Duan Fan believed that the person in front of him was indeed the Judge of the Underworld.
"Duan Fan, do you know how many good deeds and how many people you took from him, even though he didn't live long?"
Yin Yunting had already retrieved that person's original fate record.
That man was a very kind person. He knew his life was short, so he spent his limited life doing meaningful things.
He was supposed to save a village and prevent a wild beast from entering the town and causing a massacre.
He also donated money and goods to many people, and kept sending money and goods to a private school.
Without his crucial assistance, none of the children in that private school survived a single harsh winter.
These are all causes and effects.
All of this fell on Duan Fan.
Therefore, Duan Fan lived a few months less than that person was supposed to live.
