In a daze, Li Shimin opened his heavy eyelids and looked around. He saw that he was walking on a blue-black road with fiery red demon flowers blooming on both sides. There were countless shady people around him, working in pairs. Some were holding banners or holding knives, escorting figures who looked like ghosts.
As consciousness gradually returned to his mind, he suddenly reacted and turned around to see, sure enough, there were two Yinzi following behind him.
"Brothers, what's going on?" Li Shimin asked in a low voice, forcing a flattering smile on his face.
"I can't tell you, Mai, you're dead..." Baiyi said slyly.
Li Shimin's smile froze and he said in disbelief: "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, how could I die when I'm so good? This is a dream, right? This isn't real, right?"
"Snapped."
Bai Yiyin slapped him hard on the head, and the loud sound spread far and wide on the quiet road.
"Hiss." Li Shimin held his head in his hands in pain, squatted on the ground, and kept gasping for air.
"Does it hurt?" Baiyi said slyly.
"It hurts." Li Shimin groaned.
"That's right, it hurts, it means you are not dreaming." Baiyi said with a smile, "Everything you see is real."
"No, no." Li Shimin said: "How can a ghost feel pain? A ghost doesn't even have a body, so how can it feel pain?"
"Idiot, if ghosts don't feel pain, then what are the eighteen levels of hell built for?" Baiyi said in a sinister and speechless voice.
Li Shimin: "..."
After a long time, seeing that he was about to reach the end of the road, Li Shimin said quickly: "I want to know how I died!"
"You'll die if you drink." Baiyi said sinisterly.
This sentence was like a whisk, sweeping away the chaos in his memory, and the scenes quickly replayed in his mind like a slideshow.
Last night, when he returned home, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, but the less he wanted to think about it, the shadow of Zhong Li kept popping into his mind.
Shame and anger are only one aspect, and what's even more frightening is that he seems to be lost because of this aspect.
The more I think about it, the stronger my desire for Zhongliu becomes, completely out of control!
He didn't know if this was a mental illness, but he knew clearly that he couldn't stay alone any longer, so he went out to find a tavern and planned to get drunk.
Unexpectedly, I got drunk and ended up in the underworld...
"Kneel down!"
Not long after, two undercover officers escorted him to a large hall and shouted.
Li Shimin's legs went weak and he instinctively fell to his knees, looking forward with confusion.
"Snapped!"
Above the high hall, the judge in a green robe slapped the hall and shouted: "Li Shimin, do you know your guilt?"
"I don't know." Li Shimin trembled. He didn't know what would happen if he confessed, so he could only shake his head and said.
"You are the leader of all evils of sexual immorality. You have had relationships with hundreds of women one after another and have committed a major crime of sexual immorality. You should be punished by having your heart cut out, your kidneys cut out, rats gnawing at you, you put it in an oil cauldron, and your car crashes!" the judge announced.
Li Shimin felt a chill in his heart. Just by hearing the names, he knew that these punishments were capital punishments. If they really fell on him, he would be extremely painful!
"Sir, I refuse to accept it. Those women and I were both voluntary, and there was no coercion. How could the sentence be so severe?"
"If it were just that, of course there would not be such a heavy punishment, but the problem is that there is a monetary transaction between you. It is a transaction in nature, and it is a transaction of subjective will. Therefore, it should be severely punished to set an example." The judge said. .
Li Shimin argued: "Don't make it so serious, it's just a job. I put in my hard work and energy at work, and the client gives me some labor compensation afterwards. What's wrong with this?"
"Of course you are wrong." The judge said sternly: "Your job is an accomplice to disease and a breeding ground for evil. It is inconsistent with the laws of nature. How dare you say that you are right?"
Seeing that his sophistry was useless, Li Shimin rolled his eyes, immediately changed his strategy, and said in a low voice: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please calm down, um, do you know Lin Jiu? He is my uncle."
"I don't know him," the judge said.
"Where is Qin Yao? He is my brother."
"I don't know him either." The judge was impatient and ordered: "Come on, escort this guy out to me and send him to the Killing Platform."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Li Shimin panicked. In his desperation, he thought of the mysterious Zhong Li and shouted, "Do you know Zhong Li? That's my client!"
"Wait a minute!" Just when two villains, one black and one white, were about to grab his arm, the judge in green suddenly stopped him loudly and asked: "Who are you talking about?"
"Zhongjin, I mean Zhongjin."
Seeing this situation, Li Shimin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and took two steps forward on his knees: "Your Majesty Judge, Zhong Li is my client, and you have a close relationship with me. If you treat me like this, she will definitely be angry."
.”
"The Zhong Li you are talking about is the sister of Zhong Kui, the leader of the Punishment Department?" Judge Tsing Yi confirmed.
"That's right, she is Zhong Kui's sister. How could I talk about an irrelevant person at this critical moment?" Li Shimin followed his words and shouted.
The green-clothed judge frowned, stood up, and said to the two ghost officers: "You guys have an eye on this guy. I'll come as soon as I go."
"Yes, sir." The two Yinchai clasped their fists and bowed at the same time.
After the judge left, Li Shimin sat down on the ground, wiped his forehead subconsciously, and made up his mind that no matter who came over later, he would kill his relationship with Zhong Li.
He doesn't want to try any of those horrific hellish punishments!
After a long time.
The judge in green led a man in black into the hall. Li Shimin, who was sitting on the ground, heard the movement and knelt down quickly. He turned around and saw the man in black with disheveled hair, thin and narrow face, and a stern face.
At first glance, he looks very embarrassed to talk to.
"Master Ghost Judge, please take a seat."
The judge in green welcomed the man in black to the judge's stand like a dog, and asked him to take a seat with a smile on his face.
The ghost judge didn't look sideways, strode to the back of the judge's desk, lifted his robe, sat in the judge's chair, and looked down at the ghosts in the hall: "You said Zhong Li is your client, and you have a good relationship with Zhong Li.
?”
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, sir, I have had skin-to-skin contact with Zhong Li..."
The Ghost Judge stared at him for a while, then lowered his eyes to the yin and yang scroll on the table, silently recited the birth date of Li Shimin, counted it with his fingers, and suddenly his eyes widened.
He really figured it out, there is indeed a causal relationship between this guy and Zhong Li.
As for the cause and effect...
I don't know what kind of interference it has caused. This hexagram is hazy and unclear, and I can't see it clearly.
"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk."
Putting down the Yin and Yang scroll, the Ghost Judge tapped the table lightly and said suddenly: "Li Shimin, do you know that I have a grudge against Zhong Kui?"
Li Shimin's heart thumped, and his body and soul trembled, but he immediately reacted and kowtowed: "I am willing to do your best for the adults!"
"You are a smart man."
The Ghost Judge smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually became sharper: "Do something for me. After it is completed, I will not only absolve you of all guilt, but I can even label you as a sinister!"
Hearing that he promised a huge reward, Li Shimin secretly screamed.
The Ghost Judge is right, he is a smart man, but precisely because of this smartness, he knows how difficult it is to get this benefit.
Putting aside other things, who is Zhong Kui? He is a well-known figure in the three worlds. How can you please him if you go against him?
Unfortunately, things have come to this, and there is no room for him to resist anymore...
"Sir, please tell me, no, I will do my best!"
"Very good, I like people who know how to promote others." Ghost Judge slowly stood up and said solemnly: "I want Zhong Li's child."
"What?" Li Shimin looked stunned: "Does Zhong Li have a child?"
"You don't have any children now. Wouldn't it be over if you had one with her?" The ghost judge said with a half-smile: "Didn't you say that Zhong Li is your client? This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Li Shimin's mind was racing and he hurriedly said: "I am a ghost and she is a human. How can we have a child?"
"Who told you that she is human?" the ghost judge asked.
Li Shimin complained secretly and said with a bitter smile: "Okay, I'll do it all. The main reason is that Zhong Li has someone he likes now. Even if I want to get close to her, she won't be willing!"
The Ghost Judge frowned and shouted, "Are you sure?"
"I swear on my life." Li Shimin raised three fingers and swore.
"This is a troublesome thing..." The Ghost Judge muttered to himself.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief silently and said to himself: I advise you to give up this idea. Zhong Kui is an iron-clad enemy and an enemy of flowing water. If you insist on confronting him head-on, you will definitely not end well in the end!
"This is for you." Not long after, the Ghost Judge summoned two crimson talismans from his hand and pushed them in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin anxiously took the talisman and asked, "Sir, what is this?"
"Acacia Talisman."
The ghost judge said: "As long as you can find a way to stick one of them on Zhong Li's body and the other on yourself, within twelve hours, she will regard you as her lover in a dream. Once it comes, why worry about it not being able to have a dark knot in the bead?"
Li Shimin: "..."
He never expected that there would be such an evil thing in the world!
Is the gentleman in front of me really an underworld official?
…
…
"How's the effect?"
Department of Punishing Evil, in the main hall.
Zhong Kui looked at the tall figure who entered the hall with a smile, looking confident.
Qin Yao's cheek twitched and he said sincerely: "Master Tian, I feel something is not right!"
"What's wrong?"
"I helped A'li find a husband, right? But after I followed the method you said, why does it feel like I'm seducing A'li?"
"You came to me for advice, and I didn't ask you to prepare a surprise for my little sister. If anything is wrong, what does it have to do with me?" Zhong Kui said calmly.
Qin Yao: "..."
"I hope she can find the one she loves soon." After a long time, he said quietly.
"Are you seriously interested in my sister?" Zhong Kui looked at her and asked.
Qin Yao: "How should I put it? It lacks a moment of surprise, so I don't call much.
It's okay to hook up irresponsibly, but with you here, if I really hook up, do I dare to be irresponsible?
By then, the status issue alone will be enough to give me a headache, let alone other issues."
"What does a moment of stunning mean?" Zhong Kui looked puzzled: "Besides, my sister is a beauty no matter how you say it, but this alone can't amaze you?"
"To give an inappropriate example, when I first saw her, I had no criminal impulse in my heart." Qin Yao spread his hands and said.
Zhong Kui was speechless: "You said you have a wife, don't tell me, this is your standard for finding a wife!!"
"In fact, this is it." Qin Yao said: "The first time I met Xiaozhuo, it was like dry wood meeting fire. The first time I met Nianying, taboo thoughts came to mind."
"You're just looking for sex!" Zhong Kui judged.
"I don't deny it." Qin Yao said, "But this is the source of motivation in the beginning. If you don't even have this motivation, it means you really don't feel it."
There was an evil fire in Zhong Kui's heart for no reason, and he snorted coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and find a husband for her, and why are you here here?"
Qin Yao sighed: "It's not that I wanted to come, but Ah Li insisted that I invite you to dinner."
"Where to eat?" Zhong Kui was surprised.
"Go to her house."
"her home?"
Qin Yao pursed his lips: "It's the set of yards I gave her."
Zhong Kui licked his lips, and the evil fire in his heart suddenly subsided for the most part: "What should we eat?"
"She asked me to cook!" Qin Yao said helplessly.
Zhong Kui's heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Very good, very good, let's go then."
Qin Yao suddenly became alert: "Don't misunderstand anything."
"No need to explain." Zhong Kui raised his right hand and walked out first: "Hurry, I'm hungry."
Qin Yao: "..."
Why does it feel like this vortex is getting bigger and bigger?
Two hours later.
evening.
Zhong Kui sits in the hall with his big horse and golden sword, just like a picture of Zhong Kui suppressing evil.
In the kitchen, Qin Yao was in charge of the dishes and Zhong Li was doing the chores, and the cooperation between the two parties gradually became tacit.
"Can I ask a question?" Qin Yao finished cooking the food, poured it into the plate, and asked softly.
"Of course." Zhong Li turned to look at him, his eyes sparkling.
"Why do you want me to invite your brother to dinner here?"
"There's no reason." Zhong Li said casually, "It's just an idea that suddenly popped into my head."
Qin Yao didn't quite believe it, but he couldn't question it, so he had to suppress the doubt in his heart again.
In the blink of an eye.
Plates of dishes were brought to the table one after another. Zhong Kui, who was sitting at the head table, watched them working in pairs, and the smile on his face never fell.
"drink wine?"
After a while, when Qin Yao took Zhong Li to his seat, Zhong Kui took out two jars of wine and asked with a smile.
Qin Yao waved his hand: "I don't like drinking, you can always have a drink."
"What's the point of me drinking alone? Little sister, go find two wine glasses." Zhong Kui said without any doubt.
Qin Yao: "..."
Question: What should you do if your boss makes you drink at work???
Zhong Li got up and went to the kitchen to get two bowls and gently placed them in front of the two of them: "There are no cups in the kitchen, only bowls. Why don't you just drink from the bowls?"
"Okay, drink from the bowl and have fun!" Zhong Kui laughed.
Qin Yao felt a drumbeat in his heart.
Oh shit.
Why do you feel like something is going to happen tonight?
