Xu Zhiqiong leaned forward and sat next to Xia Hu.
Qian Limu said: "Brother Ma, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Zhiqiong felt powerless, waved his hands and said: "You should sentence me first, and don't pay attention to me."
Xia Hu kicked Xu Zhiqiong: "Don't look like this half-dead person, isn't it embarrassing?"
Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and said: "Three thousand merit points are promoted to one level. Let's say you can earn twenty merit points by killing one prisoner, but you have to kill 150 people? And you have only been promoted to one level? In what year will it take you to reach the fifth level?
"
Xia Hu said: "How do you think there are so many fifth-grade people in the world? Besides, if you ask for a hit man, you can kill thieves without restrictions. Are you afraid that you won't be able to accumulate merit?"
Qian Limu shook his head repeatedly: "Brother Ma, don't listen to your wife's jokes, things are not that easy. Although there are twists and turns in the Six-Sheng Five Peaks, you still have to abide by the rules.
There are three rules in total:
First, when you see the master's seal, you cannot kill indiscriminately. The eighth-level guide master will stamp all the evildoers on his territory with the master's seal. After seeing this seal, if you still kill by force, you will be besieged by the eighth-level master.
,
Brother Ma, I know you are someone who doesn't want to abide by the rules, but you must not despise the eighth-grade master bookkeeper and steal their business. It will be like poking a hornet's nest. You will not be able to live in any territory in the future.
.”
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Does Suo Zhonglang have any territory?"
Qian Limu took out the wine bag, took a sip, and sighed softly: "I wish I had it!"
"Doesn't it mean that we have to live by the face of the eighth-grade master?"
"That's right, Brother Ma. You offended Qin Changmao and killed Duan Shiyun when you were in the eighth rank. I'm afraid your life will be difficult in the future. You need to change your temper."
"This can't be changed," Xu Zhiqiong sat up straight and said, "If you see this kind of Taoist scum from now on, kill every one you see."
Qian Limu took another sip of wine and said: "The second rule is that killing thieves must not harm innocent people. I have suffered a loss based on this rule. When I met a villain, he took a woman hostage. I
If I don't kill this villain, he will kill more people in the future. I killed this villain, but I also implicated this hostage."
Having said this, Qian Limu drank a few big gulps in one breath, wiped his mouth and said: "I lost two thousand meritorious deeds for this matter. Do you know how difficult it is to save these two thousand meritorious deeds? This is what the doctor who rewarded charity said for me.
Love, otherwise I don’t know how much I will be punished.”
Seven to six, a total of only 1,200 meritorious deeds are needed. Qian Limu made a mistake and lost 2,000.
Thinking about it, Xu Zhiqiong is really scared. If he kills Shi Shuangliu, will it count as a disaster to innocent people?
Qian Limu took another sip of wine and said, "The last rule is, those who regret their sins cannot be killed."
"What kind of rule is this?" Xu Zhiqiong was speechless for a while, "Is it possible that he admitted his mistake before he died, so he couldn't be killed?"
"You don't just have to repent in words, you have to show repentance, and the karma of the crime is about to be reduced to two inches. You can't kill such a person. This rule is the most difficult to grasp. I met a villain at the beginning. This guy has a very bad temperament.
It’s weird. After he killed one person, he started doing good deeds. After he reduced his crime karma to two inches, he started killing people again. I couldn’t do anything about this guy. I didn’t dare to do anything to him until he left the capital. I really
I’m afraid of being punished!”
After talking for a long time, Qian Limu suddenly remembered something: "Brother Ma, I think your cultivation level has not reached the sixth level yet."
Xia Hu said: "What do you think he can do by coming to me? He's not here to ask for merit from me."
"Madam, what you said is wrong. I came here because I miss you."
"Okay, I won't give you the credit."
"My wife has no conscience," Xu Zhiqiong looked aggrieved, "How did I take care of my wife's business back then?"
Xia Hu said: "Let Qian Zhonglang do some serious things first."
Qian Limu took the dead soul to the evil mirror platform and said: "This man is good at judging. He was taught by his angry husband."
The sinful karma appeared on the evil mirror table. This man was so vicious that he almost beat his wife to death. When Qian Limu arrived, he killed him immediately because his wife was still alive and the man's sinful karma had only reached two inches.
This shows that Qian Limu is a serious judge. If he were a guy like Duan Shiyun, he would definitely watch this fight and kill his wife before taking action, so that he could collect a few more merits.
Xia Hu wrote a verdict and sentenced the prisoner severely.
Xu Zhiqiong asked the deceased: "Do you know how to give blessings?"
The dead man lowered his head and remained silent.
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and said: "They are all dead, what worries do you have?"
The deceased soul whispered: "The Altar Master once taught us that as long as we are loyal to the Angry Ancestor, the Angry Ancestor will come to save us when we arrive at the Yama Palace after our death."
"You Angry Ancestors can't save you. I've killed too many people like you and they are all suffering in the Yama Palace. Tell me the truth and I can make you suffer less."
"I don't believe what you say, but I believe what our ancestors say."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the evil mirror: "When I hit your wife, I saw that your hand was very cruel."
"That bitch deserves to be beaten. I can't even eat the little rice left in the house. She even secretly left it for that little brat to eat. She thought I didn't see it! Our altar leader said that a woman like this should be beaten to death.
They all deserve it!”
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Isn't that little kid your biological son?"
"So what? The kid can still regenerate after death. If I starve to death..."
Xu Zhiqiong punched the dead soul in the face and asked with a smile: "What can you do if you starve to death?"
The dead soul covered his nose and cried loudly. Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and punched him again: "You starve to death, but you are less of a nuisance. Do you know that?"
The dead soul cried for father and mother. Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and kicked him a few times, then asked: "Are you full this time?"
The dead soul huddled up and did not dare to say anything. Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Do you know how to give blessings?"
"I recognize him," the dead soul nodded. "He runs a dyeing workshop and is the master of the pavilion in the sect."
"What is a pavilion master?"
"Ten miles counts as one pavilion, and all the believers in these ten miles are under his control."
"Why can he be the owner of the pavilion?"
"Because he is an inner disciple."
Xu Zhiqiong, an inner Taoist disciple, knows this concept.
Wu Ziqing once said that the so-called inner Taoist disciples are those who have reached the highest level of Nufu Tao.
The conditions for admission are very vicious. The original text of the canon is: "If you inflict anger on your close relatives, trap them, and cause them to self-destruct, you can be blessed by the stars."
Why can Shifu be considered a top grade product?
Has he forced his own relatives to death?
Why haven't I heard Shi Shuangliu mention it?
"Why can Shifu enter the inner path?"
The ghost replied: "I heard him say that he is a person who has made great contributions to Taoism. He has planted trees for Taoism."
Can you plant a tree to get goods?
"What tree to plant?"
The ghost shook his head: "I don't know about that. I only heard him say it once, and it was when he was drunk."
I was drunk and said things I shouldn't have said.
So he was silenced by the Nufu Cult.
It seems that this tree is very important.
…
Qian Limu stretched his waist and said, "Go on and enjoy, I'm going to Fengdu City."
Xia Hu said: "Qian Zhonglang, let's go with you."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Why are we going to join in the fun?"
Xia Hu said: "The guilty prisoner was sent to the underworld, but I can't get the voucher because it was not my crime. You have to go and get the voucher in person."
The three of them arrived at Fengdu City together. When they arrived at the city gate, Xia Hu said to Xu Zhiqiong: "There is a warden named Nie who said he is familiar with you. I asked the servant to give him the crime, so it is not convenient for us to enter the city.
Come on, let Qian Zhonglang help us get the voucher."
Xia Hu is a person who abides by the rules. The seventh-grade judge will not enter Fengdu City, so she will only wait outside the door.
Xu Zhiqiong never followed the rules. He bought ghost jade, Yin spirit stone, and rented "Record Book". He often came to Fengdu City to "go to the market."
When they arrived at the Yama Hall, Nie Gui'an quickly asked someone to bring him the ticket: "Judge Ma, I'm seeing you today. We brothers have to have a drink."
Nie Gui'an knew that something serious had happened to Xu Zhiqiong, and also heard that the servant Yang Wu had come to buy the slave ghost jade. He really thought that Xu Zhiqiong's life was lost.
The two drank a few drinks together, and Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Nie, I have a favor to ask of you. I want to see these two prisoners, one is Tian Jinping and the other is Liang Yuming."
In fact, it didn't matter whether he looked at Tian Jinping or not. Xu Zhiqiong just wanted to make sure that Liang Yuming was dead, but he didn't want to make it so obvious.
Nie Gui'an hesitated for a moment and said: "This is against the rules. It's rare for you to open your mouth, brother. I will take you there for once. We have to agree in advance that you must not talk to ghosts. You must not say a word. There is a separation between Yin and Yang.
We can’t break the rules.”
According to Nie Gui'an's arrangement, Xu Zhiqiong put on the ghost uniform and followed Nie Gui'an to the back hall.
This was the first time he came to the back hall of the Yama Palace. In his imagination, the back hall should be like a large execution ground, where a group of ghosts were tortured.
But in fact, the back hall is a very long corridor, with cells neatly arranged on both sides of the corridor.
Nie Gui'an led the way to a cell, stopped, and motioned to Xu Zhiqiong to cover his nose.
Xu Zhiqiong covered his nose, and Nie Gui'an opened the cell, and thick dust rushed into his face.
Xu Zhiqiong thought that the cell was just a small room of a few square meters, but after opening it, he saw that there was a world of its own in this cell. In terms of area, it was much larger than Yilangyuan.
Is such a big place prepared just for Tian Zhixian alone?
Tianzhi County is very proud!
The courtyard was full of dust and the road was difficult to walk. Xu Zhiqiong followed Nie Gui'an over several dusty mountains, crossed a pond, and finally saw Tianzhi County.
Tian Zhixian was soaked in a pile of muddy water, which reached his chest. He was stirring the muddy pile with a shovel.
A ghost officer next to him shouted: "Master Tian, hurry up and mix up this pile of mud. There are two gray mountains over there!"
Tian Jinping shouted: "I, I can't move anymore."
"As you say, you have been fighting for your whole life. What do these two mountains mean to you?"
"I, I am really..."
"Well, I see you are really tired. I'll heat up the oil pan for you. You can take a hot bath and then go on!"
Tian Jinping burst into tears, and Nie Gui'an led Xu Zhiqiong out of the cell, turned around and went to the door of another cell.
This time Nie Gui'an didn't open the door: "Brother, the fire inside is too fierce. Just look outside. Someone, please open a small window!"
A jailer stepped forward and touched the wall with his hand, and a hole was opened in the brick wall.
Xu Zhiqiong saw Liang Yuming in the cave.
Liang Yuming's body was pierced with wooden sticks and he was roasted on the fire. There were many ghosts around him who cut his flesh with knives and ate it.
"There are some imps who are doing hard labor. Their crimes are not serious and they still work hard. Let them come over occasionally to eat some meat."
It turns out to be a self-service barbecue restaurant, freshly grilled, freshly cut and freshly eaten.
While talking, Liang Yuming saw Xu Zhiqiong and cursed: "Bastard, you bastard!"
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to scold him back, but Nie Gui'an told him not to talk to ghosts.
After the jailer closed the small window, Xu Zhiqiong asked Nie Gui'an: "Liang Yuming's little meat is not enough!"
Nie Guian smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you eat it now, it will grow back the next hour, and you won't be able to finish it in hundreds of years!"
…
Liang Yuming died cleanly, and Xu Zhiqiong was relieved.
He took the ticket and left, exchanged his merits and got intimate with Xia Hu for a while.
"Madam, what happened to my brother who died in the Yamen?"
Xia Hu said: "The good-rewarding doctor said that there are a few whose sins are not serious in the first place, but whose merits outweigh their faults. They should be sent to the underworld to find jobs for them, or to give them a good pregnancy.
A few whose merits and demerits were equally balanced were directly sent to be reincarnated. Where they were reincarnated could only depend on their fate.
Those whose sins are too deep to be repaid can be left as slaves in the Good Rewards Department. They will work hard for several years according to the length of their sins to accumulate some merit, and then go to another place when the time comes."
The good-hearted doctor gave him enough face, but looking at the environment of the good-hearted secretary, the worst result is just a few years of hard labor among the green mountains and green waters.
Xia Hu took out a bag from the case: "This is given to you by the good-rewarding doctor. These people did not do good deeds because of you, but the letter of forgiveness you wrote helped them, so I rewarded you with two hundred meritorious deeds."
"
Xu Zhiqiong stuffed the bag into Xia Hu's hand: "This credit belongs to you, we agreed."
Xia Hu pouted: "I won't take advantage of you, who knows how you want to get it back."
"How else can I ask for it? I haven't seen you for so many days, and I still don't want to let the official enjoy it!"
"Why are you so shameless? Slow down, don't ruin my clothes!"
The two were having fun when Xu Zhiqiong suddenly trembled.
Xia Hu was stunned: "What's wrong? Are you happy?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head. He heard the master calling him in his mind, his voice a little urgent.
"Good lady, I have to rush back to Yilangyuan. There seems to be something urgent."
Xia Hu was startled: "Is it Feng Shaoqing who went there? I asked you to stay at Yilang Courtyard, but you refused to listen. If it is really him, please be patient and don't argue with him!"
It's definitely not Feng Shaoqing. Master doesn't even bother to look at that guy.
Xu Zhiqiong hurried back to Yilang Courtyard, only to see the Taoist priest sitting in the courtyard with a pale face.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
The Taoist priest pointed to a plate of bacon on the table and asked, "This is the bacon from Sun Yang's shop. I must have bought it right!"
It’s indeed the bacon from Sun Yang’s shop.
"Master, have you gone out to buy food and drinks?"
The Taoist priest pointed to the wine jar: "This is the fragrant mash from Sun Yang's shop, right?"
Xu Zhiqiong smelled the wine: "It's fragrant mash, that's right."
The Taoist priest was stunned for a while and murmured: "Why is it not the same feeling?"
"Master, you must be tired," Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to support the Taoist priest. "In the future, you can just let the disciples do such a small thing as buying wine and groceries. Why do you have to go there yourself."
"I'm a little tired," the Taoist priest wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Resurrecting you requires too much energy. I didn't notice it at first. It was only after fighting against a strong enemy that I realized my health was not good."
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked: "Master, who did you fight with?"
"Taotie outer body!"
"What is that?" Xu Zhiqiong was very nervous. Since it was related to Taotie, it meant strength that he could not imagine.
"Taotie's outer body is..." The Taoist priest covered his chest and turned even paler, "It's too late. Don't leave the capital recently. Don't go south. Bring your merits. I'll help you get promoted first, and then I'll have a rest.
