Chapter 1279: Where Is Something Wrong

In the city.

The man the guards had just seen was weaving through the crowd. Just as the guards had seen, it was Ye Fusheng!

The guards patrolled along the riverbank, but made no attempt to venture into the boundless city. This demonstrated a shortage of manpower, meaning that diverting just a few men could create a gap. And the most dangerous place was also the safest.

The city gate fits the description perfectly.

But what he didn't expect was that even the ghost messenger could be lured away, it was truly a case of finding something after much searching, and getting it effortlessly.

"There is no bustling prosperity of Changsheng Town here, but there is much more vitality."

As Ye Fusheng walked, he muttered to himself.

On both sides of the road, vendors were lined up, followed by various stalls. The street was bustling with people in diverse attire, with men, women, and children of all ages. The ears were constantly bombarded by the rising and falling cries of hawkers.

If not for the overcast sky and hazy air, one might forget that this is the underworld of Fengdu after death. In a daze, one could almost believe they were walking down a bustling commercial street.

It's actually not hard to understand. Although Changsheng Town is prosperous, it's full of people who have lived for a long time, and there are few newcomers to replenish it. It's like stagnant water. But here, people keep coming in, just like constantly injecting streams into a lake. It's living water, so naturally, there's vitality.

"No wonder many people see loved ones smiling to greet them before their death, it is probably not just about reunion, but also that life here is no less than the mundane world."

Ye Fusheng's mood was also a little better.

Before, whether it was Changsheng Town or the Endless City, they always felt oppressive, like being in prison. But here, it's much more joyful.

I just didn't have time to wander around like a passerby, so I moved forward at the fastest pace that matched with other people.

It looks close, but it takes much longer to get there.

After half an hour, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Judgment Hall.

This ever-lasting scene, a throng of people queuing to enter the Hall of Judgment, most with heads bowed slightly, expressions filled with dejection. They haven't yet recovered from the abrupt parting with the mortal realm and their loved ones of this world.

The team is guarded by a ghost, and you can't get too close.

Ye Fusheng took a few more steps away, then turned back to look into the Judgment Hall. From this angle, he could just see the people inside. He took another step forward, and finally, he was able to see the judge sitting on the dais.

When I saw this person's face, my heart skipped a beat.

I don't know you!

He came here because the previous master of this court was Wei Zheng, who was also Liu Hongji's friend through thick and thin. And Liu Hongji was a disciple of the Jiuxuan Gate.

As long as we find Wei Zheng, through his power, we can instantly find Jiang Cai Ni.

Last year, Liu Hongji was beaten to death by his enemies while protecting the women. His soul dissipated and returned to the underworld. I went to find him in the spirit world afterwards, but many things happened. To be precise, we were tricked by the insidious Wei Zheng. He used my hand to suppress our opponents, building his own prestige.

Later, the Ten Halls of Hell arrived, and even the Ghost Emperor appeared. At that time, the result was Wei Zheng being promoted three levels.

"He's not here, where could he have gone"

"According to his previous rank, one level up would be the Ten Halls of Hell's King, two levels up would be the Five Directions Ghost Emperors, and three levels up would be the Emperor of Fengdu. He couldn't possibly be the Emperor of Fengdu."

This was also Ye Fusheng's initial calculation. The position of Fengdu has been around for thousands of years and it's impossible to move it easily, nor is there any vacancy. At the time, he thought Wei Zheng's promotion was about treatment, salary, etc.

Now it seems, the person has left.

"Anyway, I can only go all in here."

Ye Fusheng made up his mind and, without hesitation, strode toward the back of the judgment hall.

This is the first gate for everyone who arrives in Fengdu. Everyone's record is kept here, more useful to them than the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death.

Although it can't be found directly, at least we can see from the records where it was sent.

It's a bit troublesome, but it works.

Soon, he arrived at the back wall. This area corresponded to a bustling street with many people. He walked to the left side instead, which was a back alley. The alley was deserted, with only him and his own sweat. He looked around furtively, making sure no one was watching. First, he peered over the wall, checking the environment inside.

There was no change, just like when he and Liu Hongji first met for drinks.

Speaking of which, it was my return to Yang. Liu Hongji was left behind here, and I hadn't seen him in a long time.

I see no one.

Leapt into the backyard.

This is a siheyuan courtyard. The main building faces south and is where officials temporarily rest, so it's impossible to store records there. There's only space on the left and right sides. Judging by how tightly closed the door on the left side is, it hasn't been opened in a long time.

"Go to the right first."

Entering the right house quickly, it was as expected that there were bookshelves on all four sides, with densely packed records stacked upon them.

"The master set the engagement date with her about twenty-three years ago, so we need to see if the earliest records here go back more than twenty-three years."

He looked around and found that the bookshelf on his left was piled high, while the one on his right was still empty. It seemed like the books were arranged from left to right.

Move quickly to the far left and pick up the top one, which looks like the first record.

After opening it, I found that it said:

"Years past..."

"It's been over forty years, it's enough!"

Ye Fusheng couldn't help but smile. Since arriving in Fengdu, he had faced hardship at every turn. First, the Emperor told him that he couldn't return to life, and then he encountered the legendary demon. Even trying to enter Fengdu City was met with constant resistance.

Now that you've found your location, directly select the houses on both sides.

It went pretty smoothly.

He was smiling, but his eyes suddenly landed on the name above: "Gao Xiwu, courtesy name Cai Lian..."

I don't know the name.

But forty or so years ago, no one seemed to use the word "character" as a name. It was all very traditional, something from a hundred years ago.

He glanced back. All the names behind him had the character "字," and some even wrote their ancestral hometowns, which were completely different from their current names.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a record from five hundred years ago."

Ye Fusheng had a momentary shock, but quickly let it go.

From the back, there are hundreds of years of records, so you can only start from the front. Come to the far right and pick up the newest one. Luckily, it's about the same as expected. This is last year's.

And flipped through a few more.

It wasn't until the twelfth book that it finally came to be, two years ago.

Looking back, it was three years ago when I read the twelve books.

"Twelve books a year, one book a month."

It's convenient to find the pattern, move a few steps to the left, and accurately locate the record from twenty-three years ago, starting from January.

January, none.

February, no.

March, no.

After viewing the entire year, I didn't find Jiang Caini's name.

"Could it be that she died before I was born"

Ye Fusheng immediately picked up the record from twenty-four years ago and flipped through it quickly. Within a short incense stick's time, he had finished searching but still found nothing.

"Perhaps I'll die at, say, 100"

Once again, I picked up the record from twenty-two years ago. The answer was still the same: no.

"Died later"

Picking up the record from twenty-one years ago, there is still nothing.

Finally, she decided to start looking from four years ago, because the marriage certificate was given to her by her late husband four years ago. It must have been signed before that.

Four years ago.

Five years ago.

Six years ago.

……

Even though Ye Fusheng is a soul body, he isn't the kind that ordinary people understand. His aura is as thick as the sea, and his mental strength is exceptionally powerful, so he reads very quickly.

Less than two hours.

He had flipped through to thirty years ago...
