Chapter 21

Rumble~

Su Xing's face suddenly turned serious, his smile fading as he moved cautiously to the dilapidated wall and peered outside. He was well aware that the rumbling sound just now was the engine of a sports car, and the sudden appearance of such a car was likely not a good sign.

"Is anyone here?" A clear and melodious voice rang out, as pleasant as pearls falling into a jade plate.

"Hmm? The voice sounds familiar?" Su Xing frowned and looked again.

He saw a limited-edition red Lamborghini parked in front of the old wooden gate, with a stylish and beautiful woman wearing sunglasses sitting in it.

"Who is she?" Su Xing was completely puzzled, not recognizing the woman in the Lamborghini, and was considering whether to come out.

The woman in the Lamborghini called out a few more times, and when no one responded, she took off her sunglasses and got out of the car.

"Is Su Xing not at home?" The woman pouted, muttering to herself, "Really, I came all the way here to bring him something, and he's not even here."

The woman walked out of the Lamborghini, and after removing her exaggerated sunglasses, her pretty face was revealed.

"Fish Sister!" Su Xing recognized the woman's face, exclaimed, and immediately jumped out from behind the dilapidated wall, jogging over.

Fish Sister heard the commotion, turned her head, and suddenly laughed, her hands clutching her stomach, bending over with laughter.

"Why are you laughing, Fish Sister?" Su Xing was completely baffled and asked, somewhat angrily.

"Nothing, nothing." Fish Sister straightened up, took a deep breath to calm down, her laughter almost causing her stomach to cramp, with tears of laughter glistening in her long, black lashes.

She carefully examined Su Xing, her lips twitching, wanting to laugh again.

Seeing Su Xing about to get angry, Fish Sister quickly said, "If you suddenly turned around and saw a familiar face covered in dust and dirt running towards you, wouldn't you laugh?"

"Hmm?" Su Xing touched his face and wiped off a layer of lime.

"See!" Fish Sister widened her eyes, staring seriously into Su Xing's eyes.

"Alright." Su Xing chuckled, convinced, and then asked, "By the way, how did you find my place, Fish Sister?"

Su Xing's tone was casual, but his heart was filled with murderous intent. He had never told Fish Sister his address, and yet she had found him in such a remote place...

"Oh, I found your address through a subordinate institution of the City God Temple," Fish Sister explained, completely unaware of Su Xing's murderous intent. "I came to bring you something I forgot to give you earlier."

"Bring something? What kind of thing?" Su Xing's murderous intent subsided slightly, and he asked in confusion.

"It's..."

Fish Sister turned around and rummaged through the Lamborghini for a while, pulling out many items: cosmetics, wine bottles, and even bikinis and sexy lingerie.

Su Xing glanced at the exposed bikinis and sexy lingerie, his gaze subconsciously falling on Fish Sister's figure. He noticed that her current attire was very different from her usual professional look at the Yin Tian Pavilion, and it was very fashionable.

Her short, neat hair revealed round, smooth ears adorned with delicate earrings. The V-neck of her shirt showed just the right amount of snow-white skin, and a teardrop-shaped crystal necklace rested in her cleavage.

The fashionable tight-fitting outfit perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure, with a well-defined waist and hips. Although she couldn't match the natural beauty of Shi Feixue, she was still very attractive, and most women would be envious.

Leather jacket, hot pants, high heels... Su Xing's lips twitched, recalling some unpleasant memories from his past. He had been injured by high heels more than once...

"Oh, found it!" Fish Sister exclaimed in delight, almost turning the Lamborghini upside down, and finally found a scroll.

"Cough, cough." Su Xing cleared his throat, came back to his senses, took the scroll, and looked at Fish Sister in confusion, "This is...?"

"The visualization diagram that comes with the purchase of the *Nili Sutra*," Fish Sister explained with a smile, her face brightening.

"Visualization diagram?" Su Xing looked at the scroll in his hand, muttering to himself, recalling the concept of "visualization."

Visualization involves focusing the mind on an object, observing it, and then closing the senses to "observe" it again. The purpose of visualization is to train the "mind," or mental power. Whether it's the immortals and Buddhas of the Heavenly Realm, the demons and humans of the mortal world, or the ghosts of the Netherworld, each has their own method and explanation of visualization.

In Buddhist terms, visualization is the act of focusing the mind on a specific object to counteract desires and delusions, or to enter a state of proper contemplation, as described by "nine impurities, focusing inward, not allowing external thoughts, and bringing back all external distractions."

Fish Sister could tell from Su Xing's reaction that he was eager to read the two books.

"Since you already know what visualization is, I don't need to explain it further," Fish Sister said.

"I do know a bit, but I'm not sure what this painting is about," Su Xing chuckled and asked.

"Open it and see," Fish Sister said with a smile, her eyes forming a crescent moon.

"Oh?" Su Xing immediately became alert. Fish Sister's unusual behavior suggested something was up, but she was right.

"Open it and see!" Su Xing raised an eyebrow, not one to be easily scared, and grabbed the ends of the scroll, pulling it open.

"Rustle"

The scroll unfolded, and immediately, a dark ghostly aura and a crimson blood aura rushed towards him. Cold winds blew, lifting Su Xing's hair and robes. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at the painting.

Reincarnation ghosts, hanged ghosts, blood-soaked ghosts, water ghosts, demons, headless ghosts... The overall color of the painting was withered yellow, with a dark, crimson sky filled with fiery red flames. On both sides of the earth were black mountains of knives, and the roads were lined with iron thorns. Small demons with human skin around their waists, each with a fierce and terrifying appearance, wielded barbed bone whips, lashing at the evil ghosts in chains and shackles. The scene was filled with severed limbs and cries of agony.

The painting was vivid and lifelike, exuding a cruel, terrifying, and bleak atmosphere that shook the soul!

Su Xing's eyes widened, feeling his soul about to leave his ghostly body, drawn into the eerie and terrifying scene, becoming one of the punished evil ghosts.

"How about it? Isn't this *Hell Ghost Escort Diagram* impressive?" Fish Sister asked, satisfied with Su Xing's reaction, a smile on her face.

"Master of painting, truly a masterpiece!" Su Xing said in awe, looking up and asking urgently, "Fish Sister, tell me, who painted this!"

"Don't be in a hurry!" Fish Sister deliberately spoke slowly, her face showing admiration and reverence. "The original *Hell Ghost Escort Diagram* was painted by the most famous Cui Fugun of the Netherworld!"

"What! Cui Fugun?" Su Xing was stunned and immediately exclaimed, "Could it be... Cui Panguan Cui Yu!"

"That's right, it's him," Fish Sister nodded, Su Xing's reaction completely as expected. Cui Fugun's fame was so great that he was well-known throughout the three realms!

"I never thought I would own a work by Cui Fugun!" Su Xing breathed deeply.

"It's a replica!" Fish Sister rolled her eyes, emphasizing, "The real *Hell Ghost Escort Diagram* is kept by the City God of the City of the Wrongly Dead as a family treasure!"

"Even a replica is excellent!" Su Xing said firmly. "In the mortal world, it would be a masterpiece and could fetch a sky-high price!"

Fish Sister nodded in satisfaction at the first part of Su Xing's statement, but the second part made her eyes widen and her lips twitch.

"I didn't expect you to be a money-grubber," Fish Sister said helplessly, looking at the dilapidated courtyard and frowning.

"Ha ha, without ghost money, I can only buy a place to get by," Su Xing scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"Come on!" Fish Sister grabbed Su Xing.

"What for?" Su Xing stood still, asking in confusion.

"Hmm?" Fish Sister tried to pull Su Xing again but found him as immovable as a nail in the ground.

"That's strange?" Fish Sister stopped pulling, her bright eyes examining Su Xing, her lips muttering.

Su Xing's lips curved into a smile. He was a ghost who had cultivated nine force soul wheels. How could Fish Sister's slender arms move him? It was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Fish Sister examined him for a long time but found nothing unusual, so she said helplessly, "You're a strange guy. I wanted to take you to the city to buy some materials to fix up the courtyard."

"Oh, I see." Hearing Fish Sister's explanation, Su Xing immediately understood and looked at her gratefully.

"Come on, I give up. You're as stubborn as a bull," Fish Sister got into the car and started the engine.

Rumble~

The Lamborghini's engine roared again.

"By the way, don't call me Fish Sister anymore. Don't be like those little girls. Do I look that old? Call me Hongyu," Fish Sister said suddenly.

"Hongyu? Got it." Su Xing responded, also getting into the Lamborghini, teasing, "Hongyu, is this really a Lamborghini? It sounds like a bull!"

"Tsk, what do you know? All sports cars are like this!" Hongyu pouted, saying disdainfully, and then, as if in retaliation, she slammed her foot on the gas pedal, flooring it!

Rumble!

The Lamborghini roared like a bull, charging forward with great force, the powerful acceleration slamming Su Xing, who was not yet seated, into the back of the seat.

Su Xing looked at Hongyu's triumphant and smug face and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Women's hearts are as deep as the sea; he couldn't figure her out no matter how much he tried.

Rumble~ The Lamborghini sped through the suburbs, reaching 140 km/h, like a red whirlwind, a playful horse galloping wildly on a vast plain.

Su Xing's hair was blown back, his arm resting on the window, gazing out. In the unfamiliar surroundings, a sense of familiarity seemed to stir, bringing back memories of his past life.

"Su Xing, you must have seen many sports cars in your past life, right?" Hongyu, still accelerating, asked suddenly.

"Hmm?" Su Xing was taken aback but nodded, "Yes."

"Then your past life must have been extraordinary. Can you tell me about it? You were so young and accomplished, why did you end up in the Netherworld so early?" Hongyu asked, now like an innocent little girl, unaware of the taboo.

Su Xing was completely stunned. He knew Hongyu didn't mean to reopen his wounds, but he could never forget the pure light in her bright eyes, the genuine desire to understand him, to understand... humans!
