Chapter 289 289. Judge of the Dead

The woman looked at Qiao Mu suspiciously.

"Who are you?"

She asked cautiously.

"Ah Xin, it's me. Don't you recognize me, Qiao Mu?"

Qiao Mu got out of the car and said, but the other party just took a half step back, not looking familiar with Qiao Mu at all.

"I see."

Even Qiao Mu could sense something was wrong at this time. He thought about it. According to the situation in Wushan at that time, when he came to Penglai, Ah Xin naturally didn't recognize him.

After all, she had "died" in the mission in the Valley of the Wind, which was her end.

And now, since she was in Penglai, no matter what, Qiao Mu met Ah Xin in the "past", and it was no problem that she had never seen Qiao Mu.

Another problem arose here, that is, if this was Ah Xin's past, then how would Ah Xin in the past view Qiao Mu.

However, before Qiao Mu could figure out this problem, the woman spoke.

"I don't know who Ah Xin you are talking about. My name is Qian Yun."

She gave her name.

At the same time, in Qiao Mu's vision, scarlet words like blood appeared.

[She hunts the dead and captures living things. Traveling with her is accompanied by extremely high risks. I hope you don't become her target! ]

Although the description is not very detailed, it also reminds Qiao Mu that this person is very dangerous.

"Strange."

Qiao Mu began to wonder.

Although this woman looks like Ah Xin, she said that she is not, which also ruled out the possibility that she knew Qiao Mu and then played a prank. Could it be that she really just looks like him?

Unfortunately, now in a foreign land, Qiao Mu can't call the real Ah Xin back from the little witch to confirm, otherwise it will be a drama of the real and fake Monkey King.

"You don't look like someone from Suiming Village."

On the other side, the woman who called herself Qianyun asked, and at the same time, she came closer, her nose moved slightly, as if she was smelling the smell on Qiao Mu.

"There is no smell of Tai Sui, so there is no need to imprison."

"Do you know Tai Sui?"

Qiao Mu caught the key words, and didn't care whether this person was Ah Xin, and asked.

"You don't know Tai Sui?" Qianyun asked back. "Rebound!" Qiao Mu stretched out his hand like a primary school student and made a rebounding gesture. "Although you are not from Suiming Village, I think you may really need to see a doctor." Qianyun said seriously. Qiao Mu found that although she and Axin looked very similar, their personalities were different. How to say it, if Axin is an old-fashioned office worker who has worked for 30 years and sits all day with a cup of tea and a newspaper, then Qianyun is like a post-00s worker who has just entered society and is ready to reorganize the workplace. "Don't care who I am, I'm just a traveler passing by. When you said Suiming Village just now, do you mean the village in the valley ahead of this road?" Qiao Mu didn't know what image he had in Qianyun's eyes, but in short, the other party's purpose should be similar to his own. "Yes." Qianyun nodded. "I am the judge of death. Because there are some problems in Suiming Village, I came to check. Depending on the situation, I may ask for life according to the records in the Book of Life and Death." She said directly without covering up. "The Judge of Death?"

Qiao Mu vaguely remembered that he had seen this name before, but he didn't have a very intuitive understanding of it. He didn't expect that Ah Xin here, no, Qian Yun was actually a judge of death.

And there is also the Book of Life and Death, and she said openly that she came to take his life, which is weird.

"Sister, I am a student. I will send you to Sui Ming Village. Can you tell me what the Judge of Death is?"

Qiao Mu asked shamelessly, not caring whether Qian Yun would doubt him.

Anyway, if there is really any problem, he will directly make friends with the other party.

"Student?"

Qian Yun frowned, thinking that this man was full of confusing words. Even if he hadn't fallen into the devil, he was not far from collapse.

When this mission is completed, just check the Book of Life and Death and take his life together.

"Come on, get in the car."

Qiao Mu opened the car door.

Qian Yun hesitated for a moment, and Qiao Mu urged her again, and she sat in, only to feel that the space here was narrow, much more cramped than an ordinary carriage.

Moreover, this thing is made of paper, and it looks like it will break if touched. I don't know how it can bear so much weight.

Although many immortals in Penglai have had adventures and possessing powerful powers is not uncommon, Qiao Mu's appearance here at this time is really weird.

"Since you don't know me, let's get to know each other again. My name is Qiao Mu."

Qiao Mu introduced himself while driving the paper hearse forward.

"Strange name."

Qian Yun commented.

"Sister, sister, you haven't told me what the Judge of Death is."

Qiao Mu asked casually.

He learned on the Internet that when facing a girl of the same age as him, calling her sister is obviously easier for the other party to accept than calling her sister.

Of course, the premise is that he has to be handsome and young.

"Are you an old immortal lying somewhere for thousands of years?"

Qian Yun muttered, thinking that it was a bit strange that Qiao Mu didn't know the Judge of Death, but still explained.

"Since the First Emperor granted amnesty to the world and all people lived as long as Heaven, the people have lived forever. At first, everyone was happy and expanding their territories. But later, the people grew old, some lost their minds, became demons, wild beasts raged, and killed innocent people. Therefore, Your Majesty built the Great Wall to ward off strange beasts, established the Hall of Eternal Life, set up a book of life and death, and sent us, the judges of death, to claim lives to prevent demons."

"I don't quite understand."

Qiao Mu told the truth.

".I'll only tell it once."

Qianyun didn't mean to explain.

"I understood."

Qiao Mu used [Lies] on herself.

Now he fully understands the system of death judges.

To put it simply, Penglai people are immortal, and animals and plants are immortal. Judging from the era names, it may have lasted for tens of thousands of years. Some animals turned into monsters and attacked humans, and some humans lived too long. Degenerated into a monster.

Later, the rulers of Penglai built a city wall to protect the remaining Penglai people from being attacked by strange beasts, and set up an institution called the Palace of Eternal Life internally to get rid of those who might degenerate into demons.

This is easy to understand. As we all know, humans are easily exposed to pollution, especially in a world like Penglai with strange beasts. And because the people of Penglai are immortal, pollution will only continue to accumulate. There is no way to take the measures like Qiao Mu's world. The way of anchoring public awareness reduces the overall depth of pollution in the world.

The book of life and death records the lifespan of all Penglai people. When the lifespan exceeds a certain level, death judges will be sent to claim lives. As for the method used to claim lives to solve the problem, Qiao Mu doesn't know.

"You understand again?"

Qianyun frowned.

"No one knows better than me."

Qiao Mu responded, and the paper hearse passed through the mountains and forests, and the village in the deep valley appeared in front of them.
