Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Night Tour of the City God's Inferno
The lake, Taoist temple, the city walls in the distance were soaked in the cold moonlight, and the sound of night birds cried occasionally. In the open window lattice of the attic, the toad Taoist lifted up the mattress, climbed to the desk, with her two webbeds behind her, looking at the silver light outside, the wind blows in, and her open robe rolls up slightly.
I remembered that the day passed like this, my cheeks bulged and my two whiskers were floating.
......I used to be approaching the Demon King.
I did nothing and just lay down for a day. This is not like my style. How could I be so decadent?
Gu~~
The thunder sounded in his round belly. The toad Taoist looked down at the frog web behind him, his round webbed head tightly pinched his face, and he turned around and jumped off the desk, stepped on the smooth floor, and opened the door, then... headed downstairs, excitedly dragged it outside with a long tongue, climbed into the kitchen, climbed up to the table with food, looked at a few dishes, licked the mouth of the long tongue, and pulled it to the toad mouth.
"I'm hungry for a day, fill my stomach first... and talk about other things later."
After looking at the meal, my head suddenly swelled twice, rolled my tongue, pulled it over the plate and poured it into my mouth, wrapping the whole plate of fat braised pork in my mouth and chewing it.
Scream~~
The slightly opened door gently opened, and a figure shone in the candlelight on the outside of the corridor wall. The toad Taoist sitting on the table feasted over the toad face, glanced at the figure entering the door, turned back, wiped the corners of his mouth without any trace, and became much more gentle.
"Old toad, have you figured it out?"
The visitor walked in as soon as he brushed his cloak, dipped his fingers into the dish, put the soup into his mouth, and then sat on the chair beside him.
"It tastes good, that little Taoist priest has good skills."
On the other side, the Toad Taoist stopped chewing, wiped the corners of his mouth, supported his knees and slowly got up, folded the empty plate, walked back to the hands of the wolf demon Gongsun Liao, and jumped to his palm.
"Are everything ready?"
"It's almost done."
The toad nodded, nodded with the frog web on his back and pondered, "Well... look for an opportunity, always need to repair the demon pill and return to the peak."
Looking at the wolf demon in front of him, the toad eyes looked at the fire outside the door, lifted the webbing and rubbed his flat chin, should I tell Liangsheng first, so as to save the opportunity and be wasted...
The candlelight swayed in the corridor. In the night when the toad thought of the apprentice, he had arrived in front of the City God Temple outside the city. Lu Liangsheng walked up the stone railing carved with cloud patterns, entered the temple gate, and bowed to the large tripod standing in front of the hall.
"Ji Chenghuang."
In the hall with the word "City God" written on it, the statue of the god flashed in a circle of magic light, and someone walked out of the clay sculpture, dragged his wide sleeves and stepped out, and bowed to the scholar with a smile.
"Master Lu!"
He stretched out his hand and invited Lu Liangsheng to the deep and quiet path on the side of the hall: "Please take this place for the national master." He took a half step first, then slowed down again. When the scholar came up, he took another step and walked forward side by side.
"Ji's soul was greatly damaged in the matter of the corpse demon. Thanks to the national master's actions, he won the face."
There are several wing rooms on the back of the hall, and in the closed doors and windows, the temple snoring loudly. The other party would never have thought that the Emperor of the City who was guarding the offerings day and night, and was walking in the temple with Lu Liangsheng at this moment.
"Where is the case of the corpse monster that endangers the whole city? The City God is so confused about the people. Otherwise, how could he be injured by a mere corpse monster? His Majesty Liangsheng thanked the City God."
The other party praised and thanked him. Lu Liangsheng couldn't hear it. It was not good to be praised alone. He still had to give others a face in the City God Temple. His tone was sincere and he could not see the falsehood. This made Ji Xin, who was beside him feel quite comfortable and his smile became stronger.
"The national master is humble, but when Ji saw the people being harmed, he was anxious and angry. He was indeed a little disobedient. Forget it, the past has passed. If the national master asks him, the soul of the corpse demon will be punished in prison."
After passing the wings several feet, I came to a back hall. There was a laminated mahogany fence on both sides. A desk was placed in the middle, and a plaque was hanging high, similar to the case trial hall of the living yamen. However, when Lu Liangsheng went in, his vision was twisted and transformed. When he saw clearly, he was already in the deep prison corridor. The torches inserted on the wall were lit with blue flames. At the end of the corridor, he heard a hallucination in his ears, and men and women screamed, or groaned intermittently.
"City God, Master Lu, go here."
In the dark blue fire, a figure with a big head appeared somewhere, his eyes protruded from his eye sockets, and he was shaking his head and holding an iron chain, and he drifted to the front side to lead the way.
This is not the first time Lu Liangsheng has come to Yinzhuo of the City God Temple. He was outside Tianzhi City a few years ago, and it was similar to this situation. However, the city god there was Zhou Yu, and he also met the chief clerk Lu Zijing.
"National Master, is this the first time I have come?" Seeing that the scholar did not speak, Ji Xin thought Lu Liangsheng would feel a little uncomfortable. Over there, Lu Liangsheng, who was thinking about some of the past scenes, shook his head and smiled: "No, I have also been to the Yin Prison of Tianzhi City God before, which is almost the same as here."
While speaking, the big-headed ghost leading the way stopped in a stone prison and blew a breath towards the copper lock with a blue flame burning above. The flame retreated to the lock hole, and the copper lock broke with a "bang" sound. The prison door of some unknown material was surrounded by a layer of white air, making a heavy movement sound, and opened it inward.
In the darkness, there were endless "crackling" and screams. The faint blue fire light shone in. Two ghosts inside waved ghost-killing whips and pulled at an old man tied and pulled by several iron chains. One of the ghosts had a long tongue on his mouth and scooped a spoonful of water tanks on the side. The cold air was rising, but it was a boiling and rolling in "gurulu".
"We don't care about the demons, but you, the old man, have the soul? You are still a Taoist practitioner. When you come here, you have to bear it honestly!"
In an instant, when the prison door was opened, the spoon that was about to be poured stopped, the long-tongued ghost saw the prison head and the city god, and quickly lowered his hand and retreated aside.
Ji Xin waved his hand and asked the two tortured ghost workers to go out. After closing the prison door, he walked forward and looked at it a few times, and turned around and said, "Master Lu, the soul arrested in the corpse demon body that day is here."
In the sound, the iron chains stretched out from the four walls of the prison were dragged, stretching the ghost in the middle to lift it up so that Lu Liangsheng could see clearly.
The old man hanging in the air was dull and his body was sometimes flickering and twisting. It was unusual to have to endure torture. However, the old man's dull eyes saw the approaching scholar and his lips moved. He wanted to speak, but he could not make any sound.
There is no need to interrogate the Yin Case at all. Once the other party is caught, the Yin Book in the City God’s hand records in detail everything the other party has done.
The rest of the things will naturally be sent to the Yin Mansion of Mount Tai because of the evil they did during their lifetime, and they will be tortured by some killing and powerful force.
"Mr. Chen, it seems that he has recognized it."
Lu Liangsheng looked down upon the old man who harmed the people and turned into zombies. After saying a few words, he looked at the City God beside him: "The demon star has been stored on him for a while, can the City God find clues?"
Ji Xin was silent for a moment. He asked Yin Crew to invite Lu Liangsheng over to do this. It took him a lot of effort to find a trace of unusual information from his soul.
"Master Lu, the affairs of the Demon Star are extraordinary, not in the world or in the underworld, only possible... from there!"
