255 The ghost

, Red Man

"Big, the elephant went to the underworld?!"

Wutan County Government Office, Zhou Daohai looked confused. Looking at the "Xunhai Yaksha" who had turned into a middle-aged man, he was incredulous, "How could he go to the underworld when he is fine?!"

Seeking death? Impossible.

It's almost as if others are seeking death by looking for him.

why?

Fun?

Go to the underworld to see the road and lay the foundation for a better life in the underworld in the future?

Zhou Daohai didn't understand.

Why did you go to the underworld after you just finished a big job?

"I don't know. I only found out about it yesterday when Qin Gong, the God of Wufeng County, asked a kid to come here."

As he spoke, the middle-aged Yaksha shook his cotton robe, and a little baby came out of it. At first glance, he thought it was Yaksha's child.

This doll was quirky and quirky, with blush on its face. She bowed to Zhou Daohai and whispered: "Little Zhang San, please see Mr. Zhou."

"Uh...no gifts, no gifts."

After all, it was still the first lunar month, so Zhou Daohai took out a red envelope, wrapped a penny in it, and handed it to Zhang San.

The envoys of the City God are probably not human anymore.

Zhang San happily accepted the money, put it away and said, "Chixia Gong helps people redress their grievances in the underworld."

"Ah?! He was beaten to the underworld even after he was wronged?!"

Startled, Zhou Daohai was a little anxious, "You've been away for two days, do you know when you will be back?"

"Master Qin said that no one in the underworld dares to take care of Duke Chi Xia now. When he comes back, it depends on Duke Chi Xia himself."

"How about his food and clothing in the underworld?"

"There are two staff members of the great king. They entertained each other very well and never neglected to eat or drink. Furthermore, Duke Chixia has a strong will and the yin energy and death energy cannot harm him."

"Then it's not a problem. You have to come back."

"I believe that after redressing my injustice, I will definitely be able to come back."

Zhang San then added, "Now that many kings have not shown up, and the judges of the underworld do not dare to make mistakes, Master Zhou can rest assured."

"..."

To be safe, Zhou Daohai thought so.

But that was the underworld after all, and this Wei Xiangxiang was a little too reckless.

It's just that Zhou Daohai didn't know that this situation was as worrying as him, and there were many evil spirits and ghosts.

"I asked, when will he return to positive state?"

"He's not going to hang around, is he?"

"Who is the decent person in the underworld?"

"He is so courageous that all the ghosts and ghosts come to him. Now his reputation has spread to the eighth country. Many ghosts and ghosts are chasing him to Yama City."

"Then...Did Lord Yan show up?"

"Never."

"What do you mean, why don't the kings show up? Logically speaking, the kings have magical means and merits, so how can they be afraid of a mortal like him?"

"Hey……"

A judge sneered, "You also said that it was a magical method. Can you guarantee that this person does not have magical methods? Furthermore, there were cases in the past, and it was not like there were no people who forced their way into the underworld back then. However, everyone has great magical powers and has treasures.

, then there’s nothing you can do about it easily.”

"The kings are in power and have the ability to defeat the weak and weak..."

There was a visitor who bowed his hands and said something faintly.

After receiving this reminder, all the ghosts almost reacted.

right!

Yeah!

The higher-ups must have seen something extraordinary in this mortal, so they avoided seeing him.

"You guys have forgotten that there was an earthquake the year before last. The movement affected the entire underworld. Many rivers changed their courses and mountain peaks changed. The Black Rope Hell has also been repaired."

"Hey...could it be related to this person?"

"If I say it doesn't matter...do you believe it?"

"..."

"..."

All ghosts are not stupid, and they are well-informed. Most of these visions are related to strange beings and gods.

The judge of Qin Guangcheng remained silent. After observing that Wei Hao had arrived in the third country due east, he immediately returned to Qin Guangcheng. After thinking about it, he became a little worried and went to find some ghost kings and Dharma kings to discuss it.

A ghost king said to the judge: "Those demons and ghosts in the past few years have made hell a smoky mess, and there are countless bad habits in the world. Such as giving and receiving bribes, taking cards and asking for them, pushing back and forth... Nowadays, the ghost world is boiling with resentment. If there has been no complaint, It's not a bad place to go, so I have to bite the bullet and endure it. Now that Wei Hao has arrived, he doesn't dare to confront the underworld ghosts, how can he not scream twice? "

The judge sighed: "I'm just afraid that Wei Hao is going to shake things up in the underworld. You must know that after all the kings went into hiding, the number of innocent ghosts that have accumulated is too much."

"Hmph! In the final analysis, it's still the heaven that is acting haphazardly. The rules set by it are changing day by day. What can we do?"

"The five hell kings are in charge of hell. If we do well, it would be good if we are rewarded. Now there is no reward for doing well. On the contrary, if we are annoyed, we will be demoted. Although you, the kings, intend to fight, you can't do too much. .But now I’m afraid I’ve fallen into a trap…”

"how you said that?"

"The kings are in hiding. They are probably no longer in the underworld. They may have gone to the heaven to visit friends. But haven't you noticed that the angels in the heaven now convey the will, and only the fifth country can receive the angels? Besides, according to the rules, among us Some people have enough qualifications and their merits are considered complete. They go to the heaven to participate in the selection. How they will be distributed is determined by God. But can the heaven in the heaven take action?"

"Yes, although the Yin God is imperfect, it is an excellent choice for gods and officials. If the Yin God is famous, it is like a high-ranking person in the world. There is no reason to abandon it."

"There must be something fishy going on now."

After all the ghost kings and Dharma King said, the judge saw that one ghost king was silent, so he asked: "Why is the one-horned ghost king so silent?"

The one-horned ghost king was huge, perhaps ten feet tall. He could only bend down cross-legged in the hall. When the judge asked, he said: "Didn't you notice that Wei Hao has the energy to suppress death and Yin energy?" A treasure?"

"That cloak is indeed a treasure. I wonder what it is?"

"It seems to have the aura of Emperor Fengdu, but it is extremely special."

The one-horned ghost king looked at the judge, and then said solemnly: "I came from the Kingdom of Ksitigarbha, and its auspicious beast said it was not a cloak. I wanted to ask for details, but it didn't dare to tell me."

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, all the ghost kings and Dharma kings were shocked and turned to look at the judge.

Just because two years ago, the judge knelt down to Wei Hao in full view of the public.

The judge smiled bitterly: "I can't say..."

"Why?"

"If I told you, I'm afraid you would hate me instead. Why did I tell you?"

"..."

"..."

While speechless, the one-horned ghost king was thoughtful, no longer asking questions, and did not dare to be curious.

When it comes to things in the underworld, usually you just need to take care of yourself.

"I think something is definitely going to happen. Then Wei Hao has recorded it in the underworld. If it is leaked to the human world, it will definitely cause a commotion."

"Let him be."

The judge sighed, "Even if we are anxious, it won't be our turn. As more and more evil ghosts pursue Wei Hao, things will change."

"But...but now many powerful ghosts have started clamoring, saying that they want to take Wei Hao as their leader and demand justice."

"This is a rebellion..."

"Create it, create it, it hasn't been created yet."

Ghost kings, the Dharma kings said this, but their eyes were full of worry. After they dispersed, boats were flying in Qinguang City, and many ghost kings and Dharma kings actually rushed to the Ksitigarbha Kingdom in the west.

There is no doubt that he wants to find out from the auspicious beasts of Ksitigarbha Kingdom what the cloak on the Wei elephant is.

Outside the Song Emperor's city, Wei Hao searched for ghosts in several barren mountains and found that there were clans settled here for crimes awaiting execution.

For example, some ghosts wanted to suffer the punishment of "heart-breaking", but because there were so many of them, they had to queue up to wait for the punishment, so they arranged to gather outside the city and wait.

Unlike the ghosts in the city, these ghosts don't have the incense of the human world, and no one sets a table for them during the festival. Naturally, their lives are difficult, and they have no money to manage them, so they can't set up properties in the city.

Some of them have indeed committed crimes, such as stealing graves and digging graves, destroying feng shui, disturbing funerals...

Others are deliberately out of character, such as surrendering to enemies of foreigners, such as committing adultery with outsiders...

But a large part of them have no serious crimes and are just ordinary people who have lived an ordinary life.

But I wanted to go to the Black Rope Hell simply because I was poor.

The reason is related to the law of yin and yang agreed upon by the underworld, in which the punishment names are relatively rigid.

For example, if feng shui is corrupted and funerals are disrupted, many ghosts will be low-income people when they were alive. After death, they will be rolled up in straw mats and thrown into mass graves.

The only way to make do is to find a corner and bury it.

Without money, it is impossible to arrange a good funeral, and it is not the original intention to ruin the feng shui.

But when talking about sin in the underworld, it doesn’t ask about the reasons for your past life, it only talks about the results.

So this weird scene happened. A group of poor ghosts did nothing, and they didn't have the courage. As a result, when they arrived in the underworld, they had to "goug out their hearts and eyes." This sin was absolutely painful to suffer once.

It would be fine if he died once, but there is a punishment period according to the laws of the underworld.

If he was sentenced to one lifetime, it would be a sentence of 360 years.

Sentencing is very easy. The judge makes a stroke and everything is easy.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of millions of ghosts squeezing in the underworld waiting for sin, and most of them are just a matter of a word from the judge.

However, Wei Hao found it strange. In the past two years, he had visited and inquired a lot, and many ghost people were willing to chat with this strange and strong man from the earth.

On this day, Wei Hao took the food and wine prepared by the Third Kingdom outside the Song Emperor's city, and took them to "Zhao Xin Mountain", where "Zhao Xin" is the clan, and more than 20 million ghosts gather here.

"Xianggong Wei is here! Xianggong Wei is here!"

"Don't crowd in, get out of the way and make way for Mr. Wei!"

Several ghosts carried big bones and sticks to help clear the way. The ghosts around them were shaking the paper, leaves, leather...

The above are all complaints written by them, and each one of them screamed that they were wronged.

With a swallow on his shoulder and a black dog at his feet, Wei Hao walked carelessly to a huge rock, sat cross-legged, and then invited more than 20 million ghosts to eat and drink.

These are human offerings sent from the Emperor City of the Song Dynasty. Ghosts cannot eat them, but they can inhale incense. However, after the incense is inhaled, the offerings lose their flavor and taste like chewing wax.

After more than 20 million ghosts had eaten meat, Wei Hao carried a wine flask on his back and asked some questions while carrying the tasteless meat.

"I see that the ghost people outside Qinguang City can burn incense and farm fields. Why don't you imitate them? You can also extend your life span."

"Ms. Wei, that's different. We are guilty."

"This kind of thing is also a matter of 'people don't take action, officials don't investigate' in the world, right?"

"But in this third country, there is a 'life money'. If you want to prolong your life, you have to ask for 'extended sushi'. The masters of this country have made a rule that you can only enjoy it at the designated hell house temple in the city.

Incense.”

"ha!"

Wei Hao suddenly laughed and took out a ball of dragon's blood mist from his pocket. After igniting the "martyr's arrogance", it turned into wisps of blue smoke.

The green smoke gathered into a ball, like an incense burner, curling and billowing.

He scratched a little with his finger and handed it to the poor old man who spoke. Wei Hao then asked: "Old man, is it not easy to get to the designated Yin Mansion Temple?"

The old poor man held a little cigarette in his hands and took a sip quickly, and then said bitterly: "It's not easy? It's not easy! You have to pay money to enter the city, and you have to pay the entrance fee to cross the city gate. When you get to the temple,

You still have to queue up to get a visa, which also requires money for registration. In addition, sleeping on the streets is not allowed in the city. If you are not in line today, you have to leave the city, otherwise you will be arrested and tortured, and at least a few more years of imprisonment will be added.

…”

"Good guy, then there is no difference between being dead and alive."

"Not only is there no difference, but it's getting worse, Mr. Wei."

The old poor man rolled a bit of green smoke into a stick. He didn't dare to smoke it all now, put it on his ear, and then continued with Wei Hao: "There are tens of thousands of ghost houses and temples in the city. I recognize two or three of them. Then

The gatekeeper was a very evil person during his lifetime, and was famous in the fish and meat town. But somehow, he hooked up with a loyal king who upheld the law and maintained the feng shui, so there is still a ghost house in the city where you can live."

"..."

A group of poor people around him immediately responded, talking in all directions, and they all came from different dynasties, cursing the villains of different dynasties.

"Then I see that there are many people coming and going from the 'Zhao Xin Mountain' to the city?"

"Ouch!"

The old ghost patted his thigh and said, "Ms. Wei, you don't know something. If you want to prolong your life, why don't you think of a way to do it? Whichever store has more yin life can just sell some to us?"

"Can you still do this?!"

Wei Hao was greatly surprised, "I don't think the two previous countries have reached this level yet."

"The national conditions are different, Mr. Wei."

"..."

Just listen to the old poor ghost talking: "There are also great good people in this city. I think they accumulated virtues and did good deeds during their lifetime. The shady house is quite luxurious, with all kinds of pavilions and pavilions. But if you live alone, you don't need so many, you have to

Is there someone to take care of it? Therefore, some outsiders will also be recruited to help. They will take care of the courtyard, clean the dust, prune and cut leaves... one day of work, one day of longevity."

"..."

"Of course, if you want to work for a long time, you can sign a contract and be a slave for a few years, and you will be safe and secure."

The old ghost said it lightly, but Wei Hao's face twitched when he heard it. When alive, he would be a cow or a horse, but when he died, he would still be a cow or a horse. Didn't he become a livestock before he was reincarnated?

"Old man, what if your life span is about to run out?"

"Normally ghosts don't need to worry, but there are always some ancient ghosts who will naturally die when their life span is exhausted. If you want to extend your life, you have to find a way. The first is to beat the drum of grievance; the second is,

Reduced to a lower level and reincarnated; the third one is to borrow some from other ghosts."

"There shouldn't be many people willing to borrow money in this 'Zhao Xin Mountain', right?"

"We are all poor people. How many days of life can we borrow? We all have to go to the city."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Hao had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the old poor man said happily: "In this city, there have been many good people in the past few hundred years, and they are all willing to lend their lives to others. They just charge a little interest."

"..."

Well, if you don’t say that the ghost is still lingering, it is really a lingering ghost.

Wei Hao, who was quite speechless, scratched his head and wanted to curse, but he held back.

Opening his notebook, Wei Hao wrote down the needs and hopes of the local ghost people. Then he visited some ancient ghosts who had been here for many years and learned in detail about the changes of the times outside the Song Emperor City.

The causes and consequences of the formation of many rules can be clearly understood.

All his actions are not secretive, and are all known to the underworld. However, some underworld gods don't care at all, while others are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
