Then, Fu Yang looked at the judge in front of him again, looked up and down for a while, and said with a frown.
"There are only five stars on your judge pen, and the color of the fifth one is obviously darker. It means that you are a fifth-level judge, and your strength is almost equivalent to the early stage of Wu Lu Zhenren, right? Normally, you are slightly stronger than me. Really
If you have to fight for your life, it’s not certain who will win and who will lose! Why are you pretending to be so cool, old man? Haha.”
A smile appeared on Fu Yang's face.
He and Wei Ke had met a ghost before, and they had talked in detail about some situations in the underworld.
As a self-motivated ghost who wanted to climb up the ladder, of course that guy knew the official system of the Underworld quite clearly, so he told Fu Yang.
For example, this judge is not just "Judge Cui" who is known to ordinary people. There are many.
In fact, judge, like Gui Cha, is the title of an official position.
The official rank of the judge increases from level one to level seven!
In terms of strength, they generally correspond to each other one-to-one with the Dao Sect's Yi Lu Zhenren to Qi Lu Zhen Zhen. They also correspond to the first to seventh level Nether Paper Masters.
So are there any heavenly master-level judges?
Of course!
There are a total of ten Yama Halls in the underworld, and each Yama Hall has a Yama King and a Grand Judge who assists Yama.
So there are a total of ten Yama Kings and ten Great Judges, all of whom are very powerful. The weakest one is also at the peak of the Ghost King, which is comparable to the peak of Qi Lu Zhenren and the peak of Qi Enlightenment Bodhisattva in the Yang world.
There are also many ghost emperors, who are equivalent to Heavenly Master level experts! (Author's note: The ghost emperor here is in the realm of cultivation, which is different from the ghost emperors of the five directions who have a higher status in the underworld! The status of Yama in the Ten Palaces is lower than
The Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions)
Although the status of the great judges in each palace is lower than that of Yama, there is one judge above the ten who is in charge of everything - Judge Cui in the folklore of ordinary people.
His status is as high as that of the Ten Palaces of Yamas. But in fact, the power of the underworld that he actually controls is even higher than that of the Yamas!
Because the legendary real heaven-level magic weapons - the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen - are in his hands!
As for ordinary judges from level 1 to level 7, they also have a judge's pen and a book of life and death. They are just split from the real heaven-level magic weapons, the judge's pen and the book of life and death...
As a reflection of the distinction between official ranks, judges of different levels have different numbers of stars on their judge pens. And for the same official rank, the level of strength and cultivation is judged by the glossiness of the stars on the judge pen.
The judge in front of him was stunned when he heard Fu Yang's words.
He seemed a little surprised, puffing his beard and glaring: "Boy! It seems that you know very well about our judge system in the underworld?"
Fu Yang humbly performed a Taoist etiquette: "Don't dare. This senior judge, Fu Yang, is a disciple of the Maoshan sect. Is..."
As a result, he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
The old judge waved his hand and said with some disgust: "What the hell are you a disciple of the Maoshan sect? Do you think I'm blind? Can't you see such obvious ghost power? Is it a descendant of the Shushan ghost sect that was very popular back then? Look at it.
He should look like a Taoist heir."
Fu Yang was suddenly shocked, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, oh, oh, don't think too much about it. This is your world's business and has nothing to do with our underworld. I don't care about these sects fighting and killing. After all, you will come to us after you die."
The judge said that Fu Yang did not need to hide anything. He was originally from the underworld and had nothing to do with the world of the dead.
So, Fu Yang stopped making polite greetings and went straight to the point and asked about Wang Jian.
"Has this judge, Wang Jian...really rebelled? Became a spy for the Pantheon Religion?"
Fu Yang asked, his tone already a little anxious.
Whether the former recommender really rebelled, this is the answer he most hopes to get!
The judge glanced at Fu Yang and said calmly: "Since he can tell you the hiding place of this judge, it means that your relationship is irreversible and he also trusts you very much. In this case, this judge will tell you the cause and effect of all this."
If you tell me, you are worthy of Wang Jian's explanation..."
It turned out that the judge's name was Cui Yuan.
Just like in the Yang world, even in the underworld, there are also families and hereditary inheritance. There are power struggles and cliques.
This seems to be the truth of the universe. As long as there are intelligent creatures, there will definitely be fights!
Maybe... is this an inevitable drawback of opening up spiritual intelligence?
This judge Cui Yuan is actually a family member of Judge Cui, the head of all the judges in the underworld. He was originally a fifth-level judge in the Yama Palace where King Qin Guang lived.
As a result, during a political struggle, a certain great judge whom Cui Yuan relied on was framed and thrown into hell.
You know, even the officials of the underworld are not willing to be thrown into hell. That is a huge punishment!
So after Cui Yuan was sure that his family would not help him, his first reaction was of course to run away.
As a result, I happened to meet the Wang family who came to the underworld to perform a mission.
As a family of underworld masters, the top brass of the Wang family maintain a certain good relationship with the underworld. Sometimes, due to some private or official matters, they will use some special method to briefly enter certain areas of the underworld...
As a result, Cui Yuan happened to escape there and met Wang Jian, who had gone to the underworld with senior members of the Wang family.
The two hit it off immediately, so Wang Jian took great risks and hid Cui Yuan in a piece of underworld paper and brought him back to the Yang world!
In this way, Cui Yuan is considered to be on the Yin Division's wanted list.
In order to avoid the pursuit of ghosts, bull-headed horses, etc., he could only use the secret method passed down from his family. At the same time, with the help of Wang Jian, he hid on the beach of Chongming Island.
This place happens to be a special place where yin and yang meet, similar to a simplified version of the ghost market. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism in the yang world, or the power of yin and underworld in the underworld, it is difficult to detect and discover it.
Only a special opening method can reach here...
What's more, if I hadn't been specifically informed and given, no one would have found this place out of nowhere. Moreover, they would have to wait patiently for the opportunity to enter at the moment when the sun rises from the sea level at dawn!
It's really a bit frustrating to hide in such a small place.
But he had no choice, even if he was hiding in the Yang world and surviving, he was not willing to be imprisoned in hell.
What's more, Cui Yuan believes that as long as the Yama Palace under the control of King Qin Guang completes the internal cleansing, the Cui family will naturally help clear his name. It will not be too late to return to the underworld by then...
Because of this incident, Wang Jian and Cui Yuan also established a good relationship and became a pair of good friends. (End of Chapter 4)
