Ghost Husband, Don't Stop

I was stunned. What did it mean by "let me go temporarily for a period of time"?

"You don't need to be surprised. What I mean is, we can let you go for now, but you must redeem yourself within the set time."

Father and Third Uncle Wu's eyes fell on me. I looked at them but didn't know what they meant.

"Why are all of you looking at me?"

"My daughter, hurry up and promise him to be a black man, or you won't have a chance."

The White Impermanence told me that as long as I could help them find Bai Shangqin and hand his soul over to the two of them within three days, I would be able to get rid of my crimes.

Third Uncle Wu and I looked at each other. The two masters wanted us to help them capture Bai Shangqin, but I was puzzled. Could it be that even the famous Black and White Impermanence was unable to capture Bai Shangqin?

"Milords, what exactly is Bai Shang Qin's identity? "Why are the both of you …"

White Impermanence frowned, then unhappily told us about Bai Shangqin's previous life.

She said that Bai Shangqin was a Taoist with boundless magic, but because he had deceived many mortals, the King of Hell had the judge of the Sentencing Division make a very important decision for Bai Shangqin — to end his lifespan early.

Not long after Bai Shangqin's death, the Yin Division was unable to find his soul for some reason, and couldn't find him anywhere in the world. A while ago, they finally managed to find him, but when the Black and White Impermanence arrived, they only found me standing at the back of the mountain.

"It's that hard to find? "But I've met him quite a few times and he humiliated me …" As I said this, the Black and White Impermanence said that it was because I had drawn his soul that they let Bai Shang Qin get away scot-free. Then, he fell for me, which was why he humiliated me.

I feel very helpless, do you want me to bring their souls to the two lords who can't even capture the Yin Division within three days? That seems a little unreasonable …

"Ren Wen, there's another person that you know, right?"

White Impermanence suddenly said.

When I asked him who he was, he moved his mouth a little — "Mu Feng".

My heart spasms. Could it be that the two lords know that Mu Feng and I were a couple in my previous life?

"Hmm?"

"I know him. Every time I see Bai Chaoqin, I see him following behind me. What's going on?"

I tried to get some information about Mu Feng from the two great Yinsi people.

White Impermanence said that Mu Feng just happened to be captured by Bai Shang Qin as an emissary when he died in his previous life, and had been controlled by Bai Shang Qin ever since. Later on, when Bai Shang Qin gradually found out about Mu Feng and I, he intentionally came to find me, and humiliated me in order to provoke Mu Feng.

After the Black and White Impermanence had finished with everything, Wu San and Dad were in the room discussing countermeasures with me. If we wanted to catch Bai Shang Qin within the next three days with just the strength of the three of us, we would have to use our brains, because it's impossible to find him just by relying on brute force alone.

I heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, the Black and White Impermanence would not capture me tonight to report back.

Dad didn't seem to have slept all night, and when I got up the next day he was standing on the windowsill in my room, just like I had seen him do when I went to sleep last night.

"Dad, did you not sleep last night?" I asked.

Dad nodded and said he was afraid that I would get into trouble again that night, so he stayed in the room with me. I never left, and suddenly I felt a warmth surge into my heart. I hadn't been able to sleep so peacefully for a long time.

I looked at my father as if he were thinking about something, and he said there was still a mystery to be solved.

"What?"

Dad said it was just like that.

It suddenly occurred to me that if Bai Shang Qin was a couple in my previous life, would she not know anything about Bai Shang Qin?

"This woman cannot be underestimated. In short, come with me and your third uncle to a place after breakfast. We will discuss things over there."

After breakfast, I followed my father and Uncle Wu to a well near the village entrance.

In my mind, this well has been devoid of water since the beginning of time, but the villagers have never abandoned this well. What's even weirder is that this well has no water to moisten it all year round, but it hasn't dried at all.

I asked my father why he brought me to this ancient well. My father told me that this ancient well had been here since my grandfather's generation had moved here. My grandfather was only a little over ten years old, but this ancient well was already known as the "ancient well."

"But what does this have to do with us dealing with Bai Shangqin?" I asked curiously.

Wu San pointed into the well and asked me if I knew why there was no water in the well but no moss. I shook my head. How could I know?

Wu San explained to me, "This well originally had water, but after one year in the village there was a tragedy. According to the people, it was because that dead woman came to take revenge. Although it is superstitious, you can't not believe it."

I still don't understand what this has to do with Bai Shang Qin.

Wu said that the woman fell from the well, and when her family came to find her, they found that there were no more corpses in the well. Thus, in the 1990s, in order to find her body, the woman's family dug up the entire well, and eventually unearthed a shocking secret — following the bottom of the well all the way to the left, they would walk to the fork in the road that led to the next village, and this was the same road that led to the last time I saw Bai Qin. Wu told me that I was able to rescue her because the last time I was able to jump into the well because of this very well.

The Yin-Yang Road can only be found by the dead, but us mortals can only reach it by passing through this well. Master Yin Master wants us to catch Bai Shangqin, and I think that if we jump down from here again, we should be able to reach the hut we went to last time. Bai Shangqin must be hiding there, which is why the Black and White Impermanence can't find him.

Third Uncle Wu's analysis made a lot of sense to me, so I jumped down along the left wall with my father and Uncle Wu. After walking for a short while, I finally arrived at the fork in the road where the Yin-Yang road was.

"We'll be there soon if we head to the right again." Third Uncle Wu said while wiping his sweat.

Father was panting heavily as he walked, because this was the path to the underworld. If a mortal walked once, they would lose their lifespan, which was extremely bad for their health.
