"According to heavenly principles, because evil is evil, the punishment should be even more severe! The punishments in the underworld may not be enough!"
Xia Hu picked up the pen and filled up a whole piece of paper.
Hearing the word "hell", Wang Shijie seemed to realize something, and jumped up and down, wanting to run out of the Judge's Pavilion immediately.
But he couldn't move, the crime was in Xu Zhiqiong's hands.
The verdict was finally written. Xia Hu stuffed it into the mailbox and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong picked up the mailbox and said, "Xia Hu is the name of your judge?"
Xia Hu raised his head and said, "You still need to ask? Do you think I will tell you my real name?"
"Do you recognize Shani?"
"Why should I recognize her?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "That woman is beautiful but kind."
Xia Hu said: "Then do I have to recognize her?"
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his nose and said, "I went to the Yin Division to exchange for my meritorious deeds. I will also get your reward when the time comes, right?"
Xia Hu said: "My judgment was correct and I should be rewarded, but I only have five merit points."
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Since you feel that you are making little money, why don't you become a right-winger?"
"It's true that Yilang doesn't earn much."
"How can Yilang earn merits if he is right?"
"You will know when you reach the seventh level."
“If I become a mediator, can I still be a judge of right and wrong?”
"No, you can't go back on your choice."
"How much do fresh eggs cost?"
"First, in my opinion, you talk a lot!" Xia Hu looked up at Xu Zhiqiong, "Do you also want to ask me about the eggs?"
Xu Zhiqiong took out a bamboo tube from his arms and placed it in front of Xia Hu.
Xia Hu picked up the bamboo tube and looked at it: "What is this?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a straight face: "This is the betrothal gift."
Xia Hu said angrily: "Who are you giving the betrothal gift to?"
"Open it and take a look!"
"Why should I look at it? After looking at it, didn't I accept your betrothal gift? Take it away quickly!"
Xu Zhiqiong straightened his waist and said, "When I become a high official, I will marry you as my mother-in-law."
"Who will be your mother-in-law, you crazy man!"
"Don't you recognize what you said?"
"What do I recognize? I..."
Xu Zhiqiong walked out of the Judge's Pavilion. Xia Hu was annoyed and wanted to throw away the bamboo tube, but smelled a strong fragrance.
When you open the bamboo tube, you will see a delicate jasmine plant.
Xia Hu sneered and said, "Is this considered a betrothal gift? Yesterday was the Flower Festival. Some girl must have wanted it, so she was willing to give it to me!"
She misunderstood, it wasn't that any girl didn't want it, it was Meng Qingdeng who didn't want it.
I wanted to throw the hairpin aside, but I couldn't bear the fragrance, so I put it on the desk and looked at it quietly.
…
Along the way, Xia Hu's spell was not released. Wang Shijie struggled all the way, but could no longer make a sound. This made Xu Zhiqiong feel quite at peace.
Passing by Jiang Yanjun's Flower Tea House, Mrs. Jiang once again welcomed guests under the red light. Xu Zhiqiong had five taels of silver. Although he was a little reluctant before, now that he thought about it, he could consider becoming an undead knight once in a while.
But it is always inconvenient to have Wang Shijie with you, so we should first hand him over to Yama Hall.
When he arrived at the gate of Yama Hall, the ghost guard guarding the gate actually recognized him: "You are the judge. I have seen you. Please come in!"
If others are polite, we should be polite too. Xu Zhiqiong quickly cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for your hard work."
Guizhao said: "When you came last time, you said you didn't have the name of judge. Now you should have the name of judge!"
Xu Zhiqiong was a little embarrassed. If he didn't say it, he would have to write his name on the ticket. If he didn't write it, it would be difficult to report the loss.
I would say yes...
Xu Zhiqiong laughed dryly, nodded and said: "Yes, yes..."
If you do, just say it. If you don't say it, it would be wrong in terms of etiquette.
Gui Cha was a little embarrassed and asked Xu Zhiqiong: "My surname is Nie, my name is Nie Gui'an. I am a ninth-grade jailer. If you don't mind it..."
He was also a ninth-grade official, so he took the initiative to give his name.
If you don't dislike someone, just say their name. If you don't say it, you don't think highly of them.
This is why Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help but say it.
"My, my name is Ma Shangheng~" Xu Zhiqiong tried to get by with his unclear speech.
Nie Gui'an didn't hear clearly: "What is your name Ma?"
"Ma Shangfeng." Xu Zhiqiong lowered his voice to the lowest level.
"My ears are not good, so I still didn't hear clearly."
"My name is Ma Shangfeng." Xu Zhiqiong raised his voice slightly.
"Right away, Feng!" Nie Guian's eyes widened.
"It means advocating high mountains and dangerous peaks." Xu Zhiqiong quickly gave a more elegant explanation.
"Good, good name, good mood!" Nie Gui'an said a few words of appreciation, came to the side hall, and shouted inside: "Judge Ma Shangfeng, deport an evil spirit!"
The entire Yama Hall was resounding with powerful echoes.
This guy has such a loud voice!
Xu Zhiqiong stood waiting at the door of the side hall. Not long after, a short, fat man wearing a mask came over.
This short, fat man is a colleague and a judge, and he looks familiar.
He felt that Xu Zhiqiong looked familiar, so he looked him up and down and asked, "Comrade, are you Judge Ma?"
"Ah..." Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
"What a good name for you! Brave! Bloody!"
"It means advocating high mountains and dangerous peaks." Xu Zhiqiong explained again.
The judge saluted and said, "My name is Lu Yanyou. Please take care of me from now on."
"Okay..." Xu Zhiqiong had no intention of remembering the other person's name, and he didn't intend to have any more interactions with the other party unless necessary.
Lu Yanyou took the ticket and left. It was Xu Zhiqiong's turn.
Xu Zhiqiong walked into the side hall and met his acquaintance from last time, Shi Cheng, the warden of the underworld.
Shi Cheng raised his hands and saluted: "Judge Ma!"
Xu Zhiqiong returned the favor and placed the verdict and crime on the desk.
The warden took a long time to read the verdict and sighed: "It's not easy to deal with people with extremely evil nature. I don't have enough manpower."
Xu Zhiqiong was very curious, how harsh was the sentence? So much so that the prison warden didn't have enough people under his command.
He said there were not enough manpower, but Shi Cheng could not hide his excitement: "Thank you, Judge Ma, for taking care of me. I have earned this merit."
Does he also have meritorious deeds in punishing evil spirits?
Is Ming Dao also a merit system?
"Can I ask you a question," Xu Zhiqiong pointed at Wang Shijie and said, "What punishment will this guy receive?"
Shi Chengdao: "A very evil person has a hellish prison. Just because of his sins, he will have to stay in a hellish prison for fifty years. Because he is evil, the penalty will be doubled, making a total of one hundred years."
,
As for what the extremely evil prison is? It’s really hard to explain to you. In short, all the brothers under me have to get busy. Those who boil water, those who sharpen knives, those who hold saws, those who use pliers, those who prepare oil pans, those who prepare oil pans, etc.
The steamer... everything is indispensable."
Wang Shijie collapsed on the ground and looked at Xu Zhiqiong with wide eyes.
Shi Cheng turned around and went to the back hall: "Please wait a moment, I will get your voucher for you."
Not long after, I came with my ticket.
It was also a piece of fine silk with the words: Forty-seven pills will be rewarded for eliminating evil.
Three lines of small characters next to the big characters:
In the first line, the ninth-grade judge Ma Shangfeng personally kills the criminals.
In the second line, Xia Hu, the official of the Punishment Department, makes the judgment.
The third line is the review of the execution process of the Underworld Warden.
Apart from the name of the judge, Xu Zhiqiong was very satisfied with this voucher.
Shi Cheng also ordered: "If your voucher is lost or stolen, come to me quickly and I will issue you a replacement."
It's different with the name of judge, it has the function of reporting losses.
After collecting the voucher, it was time for Xu Zhiqiong to leave. Shi Cheng was very polite and shouted at the door: "Send Ma Shangfeng, Judge Ma!"
The echo sounded, and Xu Zhiqiong quickly clasped his fists: "You stay."
The ghost messenger at the door of the side hall shouted: "Send Ma Shangfeng, Judge Ma!"
"Don't worry, I'll go by myself!"
The ghost messenger at the gate shouted: "Send Ma Shangfeng, Judge Ma!"
The echoes overlapped, and Xu Zhiqiong looked at the ghost outside the gate.
You did this on purpose!
Although he was wearing a mask, Xu Zhiqiong still covered his face and left the Hall of Hell.
Passing by Wa City, I wanted to see the Goulan performance, but I thought it was rare to come to the underworld. I shouldn't waste my time in the Goulan, but should have a deeper understanding of the structure of the underworld.
So he decided to go to Jiang Yanjun's flower teahouse first.
Arriving at the door of the tea house, Mrs. Jiang greeted her warmly, and Xu Zhiqiong asked seasonedly: "Is there any new tea?"
"Yes! A few young ladies came here a few days ago. They were all from wealthy families. Their masters committed crimes and they were executed. No one was spared..."
It’s really the undead knight!
This is too, too, too good...
I am the judge, what is the fear of the dead?
When a man comes to this world, he should have the ambition and courage to gallop between the yin and yang realms!
Xu Zhiqiong looked down.
Brother, are you ready?
Let's go!
Xu Zhiqiong walked towards the tea house and suddenly saw the short and fat judge standing at the door.
He, what is his name Lu...
Xu Zhiqiong was a little nervous. He didn't want to say hello to this person.
But Judge Lu greeted him enthusiastically, and beside him stood two men wearing masks, one with a slender figure, the other with a medium and well-proportioned figure.
"Everyone, this brother is a fellow Taoist of ours. His surname is Ma and his name is Ma Shangfeng!"
"Ma Shangfeng!" the two fellow Taoists exclaimed.
"Horse, mount, wind?" Mrs. Jiang was also surprised, with a look of embarrassment on her fair face.
This name is unlucky in terms of her line of business.
"Fellow Taoists, please take care of yourself. I'll come back another day..." Xu Zhiqiong left calmly under the gaze of everyone.
Lu Yanyou, I remembered your name, I remember you!
…
After returning to the Evil Punishment Department, Xu Zhiqiong took the voucher to the Meritorious Honor Building and exchanged the voucher for a total of forty-seven meritorious merits on the stone platform.
The trick of taking medicine without water is still there, but forty-seven pills is too many.
Last time I met Qian Limu and asked for a few sips of wine, what should I do now? Go to Xia Hu and ask for a glass of water?
Xia Hu is a seventh-grade judge, so it doesn't matter if she makes a few jokes. But if he really comes to her with meritorious deeds and she wants to rob him, what should Xu Zhiqiong do?
Eat it yourself.
One pill after another, Xu Zhiqiong worked hard to swallow it. After eating forty-two pills, Xu Zhiqiong felt that his whole body was heavy.
After leaving the Evil Punishment Department and returning to his own yard, Xu Zhiqiong felt his merits slowly being digested in his body and planned his next move in his mind.
At first, I took a meritorious reward from the Taoist priest. It was for high-grade purposes and did not count.
Then he ate thirty-two merit pills from the black dog, and this time he ate another forty-seven.
The total is seventy-nine. If you eat another twenty-one, you will be successfully promoted to the middle of the ninth level.
Twenty-one is not difficult, just catch a bad guy at random.
But can it really be so casual?
Can you really take action at will?
What if you meet a cruel person?
He was not proficient in using his skills, and when fighting an eighth-grade eunuch, he had no power to fight back.
Xu Zhiqiong needs to reflect!
Although the Judge's Way is a system of meritorious service, you must also practice what you need to do, at least to master the skills.
It's not yet five o'clock, Xu Zhiqiong has slept a lot during the day, and now he is not tired at all, so he can practice his skills.
My Taoist skills are based on ideas and images. We must first concentrate our thoughts and then expand our imagination.
When it was almost five o'clock, Xu Zhiqiong entered samadhi.
Half an hour later, the fifth watch arrived, and Xu Zhiqiong sat on the wintersweet fence in Qiaotou Tile Market.
The dancers on Winter Plum Blossoms are the most famous, but Xu Zhiqiong is not here to see the dancers.
He came here to practice spiritual practice, and he found that Goulan was the home of his spirit. In Goulan, his attention could be concentrated to the greatest extent.
