After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bestowed the secret of the yin and yang shoes on Chen Mengsheng, he rode on the white dog Di and said goodbye and left. After Chen Mengsheng waited for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to go away, he lifted his robe and looked at his feet.
The mantra left by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: Unless hell is empty, you will never become a Buddha.
A burst of black mist protruded from the ground under your feet. You didn't need to walk when you stepped on the black mist. The black mist moved slowly on its own. The scenes on both sides were quickly retreating like shadows. In a short time, you reached the Huangquan Road where Chen Mengsheng had been.
There are still those flowers on both sides, but the bridge is still full of ghosts, Meng Po and Hei
When Wu Chang saw Chen Mengsheng coming, he stepped forward to salute.
Hei Wuchang asked: "I wonder why the judge is here today?"
"I only came here to seek proof for a public case. You don't need to pay attention to me and go about your own business." Chen Mengsheng crossed the Naihe Bridge and went straight to the Netherworld Sisi. He walked on Yangguan Road and passed the archway engraved with 'Netherworld Underworld'.
The good ones are rewarded, the evil ones are punished, the yin-law department is in charge, and the inspection department is in charge.
Although Chen Mengsheng has returned to his old place, the shrill screams coming from the Punishment Division still make people's hair stand on end. The head of the Punishment Division is wearing a purple robe, his eyes are wide open with anger, his lips are tightly closed, and he looks businesslike.
It seems that all the bad ghosts who did evil during his lifetime were dealt with by him. There are many ghost soldiers in the hall who are punishing the evildoers, using swords, mountains of fire, and oil pans to whip them. The tortured ones all cry out for mercy, but good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Netherworld rewards good deeds.
He wears a green robe and has a pleasant smile. He arranges all the little ghosts who did good deeds during his lifetime. He will reward him according to the degree of his good deeds during his lifetime. In the six paths of reincarnation, he can ascend to heaven and become a god, or be reincarnated as a human being. All he has to do is drink a bowl of magic at Po Meng's place.
Soul tea, forget the grievances and grudges in life, and you can eat the fireworks of the world again. Further ahead is the place of Cui Yu, the Yin Law Department. Cui Yu is the famous number one figure in the Yin Cao underworld. He holds the book of life and death in his left hand and the soul-enchanting pen in his right hand. He specializes in executing
The task is to extend the life of the good and let the evil go to hell.
According to legend, Cui Jue was a native of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He became an official in the seventh year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty (633) and was the county magistrate of the eldest son of Lu. It is said that he can "manage the affairs of the Yang world during the day, resolve the injustices of the underworld at night, and pick off people and ghosts, which is better than the gods."
There are many folk legends about Cui Jue solving cases, among which the story of "clearly solving the case of an evil tiger wounding a person" is the most widely circulated. The story says: There is a large mountain at the junction of the southwest of Changzi County and Qinshui, called Diaohuang Ridge. In the old days, ferocious beasts often appeared.
.One day, a woodcutter went up the mountain to cut firewood and was eaten by a tiger. His widowed mother was so distressed that she went to court to complain. Cui Jue immediately issued the cards and sent Meng Xian, the yamen servant, to go up the mountain with a talisman to arrest the tiger. Xian recited the talisman in front of the mountain temple and then confessed
In the case of the gods, a tiger immediately jumped out from behind the temple, held the talisman in front of the constitution, and let it be tied with an iron chain. The evil tiger was taken to the county government office, and Jue immediately went to the court for questioning. In the court, Jue counted all the ways in which the evil tiger had hurt people.
Sin, the evil tiger nodded repeatedly. The final verdict was: "The crime of eating human life shall not be forgiven." The tiger touched the steps and died.
Chen Mengsheng was just about to enter the Yin Law Department when he heard that Cui Yu was solving a case inside. It was not convenient to go in and disturb him for a while, so he took a look inside the Yin Law Department. Unexpectedly, the two people kneeling on the ground in the Yin Law Department were Chen Mengsheng.
I know Mr. Xiao and his wife from Fulai Restaurant
Chen Mengsheng was secretly surprised that he had been to Fulai Wine Shop during the day, but he didn't expect that Xiao and his wife were destined to die...
The ghost soldiers outside the Fourth Netherworld Division saw Chen Mengsheng peering in front of the Yinlu Division, and raised three ghost forks. "Hey, what are you looking for? Go there and line up, and the judge will call you.
.”
When the ghost soldiers saw Chen Mengsheng, they thought he was a dead ghost waiting to be judged. They shouted and chased Chen Mengsheng into the ghosts. Chen Mengsheng only wanted to know how shopkeeper Xiao was punished. It didn't matter where he was ranked or not.
"Xiao Laoshi, Hu Jinhua. You are both good and evil, and you should drink Meng Po's soup to enter the human reincarnation. But you two did not teach your children well, and both of you died."
Xiao Laoshi cried and said: "Your Majesty, the lesson is very good. Xiao Laoshi should not be in a hurry to regret it. It is the fault of a son who does not teach his father. Our couple had three sons and two daughters, all of whom died when they were less than one year old. Later, we had this rebellious son. From then on, we had three sons and two daughters.
### I was so obedient to him, fearing that he would die young like other children. Who would have thought that this child would be so rebellious..."
Hu Jinhua, who was kneeling aside, wiped away her tears and said with runny eyes: "Your Majesty, my Zhuzi is not bad in nature, but he just likes to gamble. This time, he lost too much, so he..."
Cui Yu said angrily: "A loving mother often loses her son. Because Xiao Zhuzhu lost money, he pawned your shop and house to others as gambling debts. He waited until someone came to seize the shop and house, and drove you into the streets. Then you were alive.
You two are dead. Do you still want to excuse that unscrupulous man?"
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao kept kowtowing and kept chanting: "I just ask the judge to show mercy and forgive Xiao Zhuzhu. We will bear all the sins."
Cui Yu let out a long sigh: "Come on, come on, come on. Poor parents in the world, I hope that Xiao Zhuzhu can wake up one day. You go down, drink Meng Po soup and enter reincarnation."
The ghost soldiers pulled Xiao Laoshi and Hu Jinhua out of the Yinlu Division. Cui Yu finished sorting the case scrolls and shouted: "Next one."
Chen Mengsheng was shouted at by the ghost soldier: "Black man, I'm calling you, come in."
Cui Yu raised his head and saw that it was Chen Mengsheng. He was startled for a moment, then he saluted and smiled and said, "I didn't know that the Immortal is here to visit today. I missed my welcome from afar. I apologize for my sin."
"I came here today just for a public case. There is an injustice in the world. There are people in the underworld who are helping the evildoers to find someone to die for."
Cui Yu secretly thought that the netherworld could do things for mortals, so the book of life and death needed to be changed. The only ones who had the book of life and death, besides Yan Jun, were himself and Chen Meng.
Cui Yu's face darkened and he replied displeasedly: "Cui doesn't understand what the Immortal meant by what he said? Could it be that the Immortal thinks that I'm looking for a scapegoat for evil people?"
Chen Mengsheng pointed his finger at Maimang and said without giving in: "The underworld of the underworld has its own laws, and the rewards of good and evil have long been determined. If there are laws but are not followed, and the enforcement of laws is not strict, then what is the use of this judge?"
Cui Yu was depressed. He had been in charge of the position of judge in the nether world for hundreds of years. How could he not know the laws of the underworld? Today, he was really annoyed by Chen Mengsheng's confession. He took out the book of life and death from his arms and photographed it.
On the desk.
The ghost soldiers outside the Yin Lu Division had never seen anyone dare to talk to Judge Cui like this, and they all looked at the black man in a different light for a moment.
Cui Yu's face turned from livid to white with anger: "In this case, please come with me, Supreme Immortal, and we will meet Lord Yan together and explain this matter clearly." Chen Mengsheng didn't say much.
Follow Cui Yu to see King Qin Guang among the ten kings of hell.
This King Guang of Qin is in charge of the bad luck in the underworld, and leads people to reincarnation. Those who have done half the deeds and demerits will be sent to the tenth palace to be reborn in the human world. Males will be reborn as women, and females will be reincarnated as boys. If those who do more evil and do less good will be escorted to the palace.
The high platform on the right is called the Evil Mirror Platform. When one looks in the mirror, all the good and evil deeds he has done in his life will be revealed, and then he will be taken to the second hall to be imprisoned and suffer. Cui Yu and Chen Mengsheng have just entered the hall. Although King Qin Guang
Already smiled and said: "The king of hell in this palace has received the message from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Master Mingban's matter is indeed Judge Cui's fault."
When Cui Yu heard this, he said angrily: "Why is it my fault? Cui Yu refuses to accept it."
Chen Mengsheng also didn't understand: "Chen Mengsheng doesn't quite understand what Yan Jun said?"
"Haha, please be patient, two judges. The whole story is that someone made Judge Cui drunk and tampered with the book of life and death, replacing the birth date of the prince with the birth date of his servant Li Mu." Cui Yu listened.
When King Qin Guang mentioned the name of Prince Qi, he was shocked. He seemed to have mentioned this person when he was invited by Liu Minqi at Qingyang Temple a few days ago. He calmed down and pondered for a long time, and finally remembered what happened during the banquet that day.
.
"Oh, I understand. When I was checking the files in the Yinlu Department that day, I suddenly received a letter asking for a magic talisman. Because the talisman was made by a descendant of Zhang Tianshi, I went to see what was going on? Later I arrived in Qing Dynasty.
Yang Guan, Liu Minqi indeed mentioned to me that he wanted to find a replacement for Wang Ziqi, but I refused. I didn’t know about it after that." Cui Yu opened the book of life and death in his hand and saw Wang Ziqi’s birth date.
Sure enough, it has been changed...
"Liu Minqi is such a talented person. He has already committed a capital crime by privately altering the book of life and death. In vain, he is guilty of knowing and breaking the law for Zhang Tianshi's successor. Where is the deacon?"
The bull heads on both sides of King Qin Guang stepped forward and saluted: "What is Judge Cui's order?"
"Today, I, Cui Yu, made a mistake. According to Yin law, those who neglect their duties should be punished with the Yin Fire Rod. The punishment is twenty. The deacon will carry out the punishment, and Cui Yu will accept the punishment."
Chen Mengsheng stepped forward and said: "Now that the matter is clear, Judge Cui is also ignorant. Chen Mengsheng has the courage to plead with King Qin Guang, Lord of Yan, to forgive Judge Cui this time."
King Qin Guang said: "If the immortal begs for mercy, then forgive Cui Yu."
"No, the Yin law does not follow the underworld. How can we believe it? Cui Yu thanked the Immortal. If the Immortal hadn't pointed out that Cui Yu almost made a big mistake. The executioner executed..." Cui Yu was carried back to the Yin Law Department.
.
The night was like splashing ink, and just as the entire Lin'an City was immersed in tranquility, there was a dark shadow sneaking into the night. It circled around the Censor's Mansion in Liuhe Bay, and only jumped up and disappeared after making sure that no one was following it.
Censor's Mansion. In the Flower Hall of Censor's Mansion, the Wang family and his son were waiting anxiously. They saw a dark shadow flash in front of their eyes. There was a masked man wearing tight-fitting night clothes in the hall...
