Fatty told me to have a good rest first. After I've recovered my spirits, I will take care of other matters. With the help of the rest, I will stay at home to accompany my mother for a few days.

We were both bored at night, and the shop had been doing better business these past few days, so I was ordered to sit outside and see what customers could buy, while the fat man and my mother cleaned.

That night, the moon was high and the wind was strong outside. It would be snowing in a few days, so we didn't have any snow on our side. We would probably be unable to withstand the severe winter's might in a few days.

There were quite a lot of guests tonight, and it was most likely the new year. The items that we used to pay respects to our ancestors were also quite abundant, so our family's business was getting better and better.

The wind was blowing, and I felt a little cold, so I rubbed my hands together. As I breathed, I looked at the road, and gradually, as if a shadow had appeared.

Since the streetlights here are frozen, and my shop's lights were just blown up yesterday, I can't clearly see the people in front of me. He was alone, and from a distance he looked like a man, an old man, limping and limping. When I saw him coming in the direction of our shop, I slowly got up and stamped my feet twice. They were so cold after sitting for so long.

He came over, and when I looked closer, I saw that this man looked very similar to Boss Wu!

I took two steps back and saw that he was looking at me fiercely. Layers of black smoke were still coming out of his forehead and his face had turned yellow. But, didn't Old Wu already die?!

I couldn't help but yell for my mother and Fatty to come out.

"What's wrong, Zhong Xin? I told you to take a look at a shop, yet you're still acting so flustered!" the mother said.

I don't care what my mother says about me, I only believe in my eyes.

"Look, who is this!" I pointed to the Old Wu.

Mother and Fatty looked towards the direction I pointed to and saw that the man standing in my store was the already dead Boss Wu, right? The fat guy cried out, while his mother was still in a daze.

The man in front of us is Old Wu! There were still holes in his face where he had been bitten off, and he looked up at us all with a fierce look. Especially me!

The atmosphere was extremely cold. In the end, it was me who broke this deathly silence.

"Old... Old Wu! "You …" My teeth were already chattering from the cold, and Old Wu was wearing only the lower half of her body. Her upper half was completely bare.

Old Wu coughed and looked at me with her evil smile, "Zhong Xin, do you have more paper money? I want... Buy yourself a dozen. " Old Wu's lips shriveled when she spoke, her hair almost fell out. Her cheeks were sunken and her bones protruded. It was very obvious. Strange, his corpse … He had already been bitten off. At that time, only his head hadn't been retrieved!

"Zhong Xin, did you hear me?! What are you standing there for? I still need you to personally heat it up for me, and also have the capital to do it yourself. Haha, this weather is so cold, but I'm not cold at all! " After saying that, he let out a burst of laughter.

His mother could not bear to listen any longer, so she stood up to Old Wu and said, "You can't live by yourself, and you can't blame my son. Go back, we'll burn the paper money for you."

I signaled my mother not to come out and talk, because there was always a chance that there might be danger.

Fatty walked over and told me that Chief Wu must have come back to get revenge on me. His goal definitely wasn't as simple as just buying paper money. He told me to be careful.

I think, since Old Wu is able to change back into his original form and seek revenge, it means that he really has accumulated a lot of resentment towards me. But before this, he kept thinking about my family's Zhong Kui's treasured sword, and now that he has returned, I must protect the sword well.

I whispered to my mother that she should hurry back to her room and hide the Zhong Kui Sword. It would be best if she hid it in the ancestral hall, since the spiritual energy there was so dense that the current Boss Wu would not be able to enter. At my words, my mother sneaked in.

Old Wu saw that I didn't answer him, so she walked closer to me. I could smell the smell of his rotten body along with the smell of his incense paper money. It made me feel nauseous.

Fatty walked forward and said to Boss Wu, "Boss Wu, there's nothing left to say. Now that you're back, you can only come back to die. Why are you not willing to let go?" Don't you feel ashamed that you've killed your three daughters when they're still young and yet you've caused them to become like this? You still have the face to come back and find us? "

Hearing Fatty's words, Old Wu seemed to become even more agitated. His mouth also stank because when he spoke, the stink lingered in front of me.

"Mine... Daughter. Wasn't it all because of you guys? If you guys had not pressed me too hard, I would have ended up like this. Zhong Xin, after so many years, I have treated your mother well, and I have treated you even more so! "

Hahaha, ridiculous! Old Wu, if it wasn't for his own selfish desires, I wouldn't have pushed her too far! It's not like I have nothing to do after I've eaten my fill.

Old Wu could no longer listen to that. She saw him extend his right palm towards me. If it wasn't for my quick reaction, I would have been a ghost under his palm a long time ago. I hastily dodged. He came and went as he pleased and was extremely fast. I had no choice but to be on guard against him! However, as if he could see that I was deliberately avoiding him, he also nimbly took the initiative to attack me. Seeing that I couldn't dodge in time, he actually charged towards me!

This time, I was dizzy from the impact. The fatty saw that my momentum had decreased, so he reminded me to use a secret technique to temporarily restrain him. But I didn't have time to fight back. At this critical moment, my mother came out with a talisman.

Mother told me to step back. She quickly wrote the word "Zhong" on my hand with blood, then pressed my hand onto the amulet, then asked me to bring Old Wu over. When Old Wu came over, Mother placed the amulet firmly on Old Wu's forehead.

Old Wu stood still and tried to struggle, but my mother chanted an incantation and all I heard was' Lord Zhong Kui 'or something like that, and I couldn't hear them clearly anymore. After this process, Old Wu's body collapsed to the ground, turning into a puddle of pus, disgusting and smelly. When I saw the situation turn around, I hurriedly used a bottle to collect the puddle of pus and threw it into the dust on my shrine. Master Zhong Kui's spirit was at its brightest, otherwise, he would never be able to escape.

Later, I asked my mother if the "Lord Zhong Kui" she was talking about had just come to life, and my mother's answer surprised me.

"Zhong Xin, take this token. I just took it out. I saw that something was wrong, so I took it out and prepared. This token should be given to you."

I looked at my mother in confusion. Why would she suddenly give me this? My mother explained to me that only Zhong Kui's descendants could have this medallion. Furthermore, with the things that Lord Zhong Kui had brought with him before he died, he could make Zhong Kui show his spirit.

I followed my mother's instructions and learned the incantation my mother had given me. I wanted to summon Lord Zhong Kui, but I actually showed up!

All of a sudden, the flames were extinguished and Zhong Kui's voice could be heard. I didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now I actually heard Lord Zhong Kui's voice! I can't believe it anymore!

"The appearance of the medallion also means that you will have to take on many responsibilities. And responsibility is something that you have to do even though you don't want to."

Master Zhong Kui's voice was deep and full of energy. Even though it was impossible to see him clearly in the dark, he still signaled us not to light any lamps. He absolutely should not reveal the secrets of the world. Then I asked, "What is my duty?"

Zhong Kui, on the other hand, remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, his mother said, "There are some things that will happen to you sooner or later. The reason I've asked you to travel outside for so many years is to temper your character. You've lived up to everyone's expectations."

I scratched my head in confusion while the fatty stood to the side, not daring to make a sound.

"Zhong Xin, since you've obtained the badge, it means that you and I are fated to be together. Before taking on all of the responsibilities, I will do one thing for you." Zhong Kui said.

"What is it?" I'm very curious.

"Take out the jade pendant you got from the Underworld. I can help you revive a person, this person will be the most important person in your life. She will help you a lot, after that, I don't need to worry so much. The world is chaotic now …"

I touched my pockets. According to what Old Master Zhong Kui said, I took out the jade pendant that I had picked up from the underworld.

In an instant, the light brightened. We couldn't see Zhong Kui's figure, but we could still hear his voice.

The jade pendant fell down from the shrine and was caught by me just in time. There was a word written on it — "Choose".

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"Choose one. They are fated to be burned to death before. One of them even has some sort of unfathomable relationship with you. If you can choose her, that would be the best."

Three burned? Could it be Linglong, Zi Yue, and Wu Na? However, I didn't know why, but I chose Wu Na without thinking. Afterwards, the jade pendant fell to the ground but didn't shatter.

Suddenly, Wu Na's appearance was restored.

Actually, I didn't know if she was really Wu Na, because the three of them looked exactly the same. Could it be that Master Zhong Kui was trying to trick me?

I thought about it and felt that it was impossible. Why would Lord Zhong Kui lie to me? So I looked at the girl in front of me. She looked at me with her eyes wide open, as if she didn't know me, but she looked exactly like the three of them.

"Did she lose her memories and was just resurrected?" I asked.
