Chapter 14: Fine Wine
The first day of the second month of the fourth thousand three hundred and twenty-one years of the prefectural calendar.
This number is quite memorable, not only because of this string of numbers, but also because on one day of the year, the Difu left two Yan monarchs at the same time.
The eighth child was officially promoted to Golden Immortal yesterday morning, and the Heavenly Emperor ordered him to be transferred to the Heavenly Realm to serve as the Emperor of the Eastern Pole Qinghua at noon yesterday.
Lao Ba unwillingly packed his bags, three big bags.
The name of the eighth child is the same as that of Nezha's obscene master, and the eighth is also called Taiyi. The eighth child has been called Taiyi for a lot longer than the obscene little old man, but the name Taiyi is really overflowing among the monks, and there can always be a Taiyi real person, or Taiyi Zhenjun or something.
The eighth child is a little resistant to the "Taiyi Emperor" who is about to be installed on his head!
Although we are reluctant, we are all comforting him! The Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole is one of the Four Emperors, although it is a flat tone compared to Yan Jun, but it is better than the so-called Star Monarch of Taibai.
"You know a fart, the star monarch of the heavenly realm is the most idle, after being a god, Taibai has never sent a letter complaining about work!
As soon as the eighth said this, we remembered that after Taibai left, he would occasionally send letters over, at first he complained that he was too busy in the heavenly realm, and then it became a record of drinking, drinking, feasting, and watching singing and dancing.
The fourth and eighth talked to each other, he fell to the earth immortal this morning, according to the default rules of the underworld, he needs to abdicate and no longer manage any affairs of the underworld, the earth immortal can't stop the underworld, and Yan Jun must be at least a heavenly immortal.
The fourth child is very free and easy, he greeted everyone in the morning, and took the woman to pack up his things, and when the eighth left, he would move out of the Yan Jun Palace, and the city he managed before was also handed over to the second child, and the second child also took care of the eighth city, he didn't shout tired this time, but he was very sad!
The eighth child is gone, and when he leaves, he has a big bag and a small bag, not like Taibai.
The fourth child is also gone, and when he leaves, he is dashing, and his wife is on the side!
Leaving our remaining seven Yan Monarchs speechless...
Daji was also silent to help me rub my braincase, this day there were two Yan Jun, one up and one down, it really made my brain hurt.
The boss broke the silence and said: "I heard that the ancestors are a little unbearable to see the current chaos in the world, and the Taishang Dao Ancestor plans to go to the world for a while, leave some knowledge, and leave a path to immortal ascension to the world." ”
The world is indeed too chaotic now, you kill me, I will kill you, and there are fewer and fewer monks, only Kunlun has left a few qi practitioners, and they are not very successful.
Lao Qi said: "I have also heard about this, and it is said that Daozu has prepared two roads. One is the ascension of the day, and when the cultivation reaches the earth immortal, it will be led by the heavenly court, included in the roster, and arranged to be a city god land in the world, and the other is the autopsy immortal, but it is easier than the methods of several of us to practice, and the autopsy is at most an earth immortal, which is just used to fill the underworld. ”
The second child sighed and said, "The luck of the world is no longer as good as before with the migration of the gods and the scattered immortals, but I am afraid that it is not good to produce immortals." ”
I suddenly had an idea, so I said, "Now that the Heavenly Realm has set up a City God Land in the human world, can we cooperate with the Heavenly Realm?"
The sixth child rolled his eyes and said, "How to cooperate?"
"Now the errand officials we arrange in the human world are too loosely arranged, and most of them are not familiar with geography. But the land of the city god is sealed by the heavenly realm, and the geography is the clearest, so we might as well arrange the errand officials to enter the city god and the land, and when picking up new ghosts, they can help guide the way, or they can divide the responsible area on the spot, so that there is no need to run from the north and the south. You can also do some help to the land of the city god, although there is no great supernatural power in the world, there are still spirits who practice, and the city god and the land are a little thin!"
The boss thought for a while and said, "Maybe you can also arrange the judge to be in it, let the judge contact the Chenghuang land, and the messenger will be responsible for the implementation of specific affairs." Caught back and now tried in the human world, and then pulled back to the underworld after the trial. ”
"You can also organize an experienced judge to review it in the prefecture, add a procedure, reduce errors, and we can make it easier, but now Yan Jun is really not enough. ”
The sixth child took the bamboo slip and wrote it down, and took a picture of the application for the emperor.
Now bamboo slips are popular in the heavenly realm and the earthly realm! I'm embarrassed to go out without a roll in my sleeve, and I have one in my sleeve.
Dao Ancestor came to the mortal realm from the heavenly realm, earlier than we imagined. still didn't accept disciples, just taught a few teenagers casually, and left some classics. Kong Qiu in the world once asked three times, and Dao Ancestor answered his doubts one by one. After that, Daozu sent a letter to Guguan, and the chief soldier Yin Xi saw that Ziqi was coming from the east and resigned to follow. Daozu rode a green ox and took Yin Xi back to the heavenly realm.
The era of schools began in the world, and hundreds of schools of thought emerged in turn, writing books and sayings in turn. The demons brought back many books from the world.
The boss likes these books very much, because the people who write these books will die in the future are talents who will die in the underworld, and what the underworld lacks most is talents!
We are also very happy, the prefecture has always been a slow progress of many reforms, the problem is in the hands of people, no one can support the current reform of the prefecture. Among Yan Jun, only Yi Zhi has experience, but it has been outdated for more than a thousand years, Ji Chang and Ji Dan have experience, but look at the current situation in the world, forget it, their experience is useless, and it is impossible for the underworld to divide any princes, ghosts are equal, this is the principle! Class does not exist, this is also the principle!
The sons gave us hope, and they died one by one in our expectation. Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mozi, Mencius, Xunzi, Sun Tzu, Guiguzi, Liezi, Gongsun Long, Hui Shi, Zou Yan, Xu Xing, Bian Que and a large number of others died one after another.
Yan Jun and all the officials of the prefectural government extended a warm welcome.
And then... They fought... At first, the two people fought, and then there were more dead people who fought in a scuffle, Confucius had the upper hand at first, and then Zhuangzi became an earth immortal and completely suppressed the princes, but after he finished fighting, he found that he had nothing to fight with them, so he asked the boss for a piece of land and practiced.
Later, Mozi made many traps and gained the upper hand in the melee, and it didn't take long for Guiguzi to become an earth immortal, and he dismantled Mozi's organs, and like Zhuangzi, he begged for a piece of land to live in seclusion.
It took more than a hundred years for the Yan Jun to figure out what was going on, and the initial plan was empty... Few of these sons are capable of working.
Fortunately, not everyone likes to fight, Mozi calmed down and went to Ji Dan's engineering team to help, and Xu Xing went to teach the ghosts to farm after understanding the situation. There is also Bian Que, Bian Que wants to realize the value in the underworld... But the ghost doesn't get sick..... so he has to treat the animal.
The classics of the princes had a great influence on later generations, and most of them were high-class evaluations, so they all stayed in the underworld to continue their studies and practice along with them. When you are free, you fight, and when you don't want to fight, you quarrel.
Fan Li was an accident, he was not a prince, but he created a business path.
When he came down, he took the initiative to come to the Yan Jun Palace, he looked very young, dressed in a cyan scholar's shirt, with a burial sword hanging from his waist, and his demeanor was handsome.
"Fan Li begs to see all Yan Jun!"
"Fan Li, is he dead?" Yi Zhi was a little surprised.
He pays the most attention to the affairs of the world, and Fan Li is a talent he is very optimistic about.
Yan Jun looked at this young ghost with his spirit, Fan Li was not afraid, and he was bold.
The second child rubbed his face and asked, "What did you ask for when you came to Yan Jun Palace?"
Fan Li bowed and said: "Fan Li came to find someone." ”
"Who are you looking for?" Yi Zhi had already taken out his life and death book and was ready to check the ghost.
"Look for Shih Tzu. ”
Yi Zhi was very concerned about Fan Li, as soon as he heard that he was looking for Xi Shi, he accepted the life and death book, and said with a smile: "Xi Shi did not want to be reincarnated after death, and has been staying in the underworld, she bewitched the king of Wu, and when Wu was destroyed, the dead and injured people of Wu were to be counted as a sin for her, she is now suffering in hell, and there is a hundred years in prison." ”
Fan Li pleaded, "Can I be tortured on her behalf?"
The boss shook his head: "It's irreplaceable, the rules of the underworld can't be violated, you and Wen Chong are making suggestions for Gou Jian, this sin is also there, Wen Chong is already waiting for you in hell, you have your sins to pay." ”
After thinking about it, Guan Zhong, who is still serving in the engineering team... The engineering team has not had any tasks lately, and has been helping people around with cowsheds, pigsties, and chicken coops. The prefecture has prepared a hundred-year animal husbandry plan, intending to gradually introduce birds and beasts from the world within a hundred years to enrich the output of the prefecture.
Yi Zhi was a little unbearable, but the rules of the underworld couldn't be broken.
I knew what the boss meant by this, so I said, "You also traveled around in your lifetime, and you scattered all your wealth three times, and you have paid for some sins, and you have the merit of opening up a way of wealth for the world, so you don't have to go to hell to serve your sentence." ”
The boss nodded to me quietly, and then I said, "Yes, you can be a judge in the underworld, and sentence you to twenty years to offset your sentence." ”
Yi Zhi's eyes lit up, he didn't think he could do this at all!
Lao Qi continued: "The merits and demerits are not commensurate, the merits have already been punished, and the merits cannot be rewarded, you have the qualifications to become immortals, and you also have the qualifications to become ghosts and gods, which one do you choose?"
Fan Li asked, "What's the difference between the two?"
The sixth child explained to him: "The immortal road is difficult, and the victory lies in immortality, and if you cultivate to the Daluo Golden Immortal, even if the heaven and earth are reopened, it will be immortal." Ghosts and gods are sealed by the underworld, and are supported by the luck of the underworld, if the underworld does not exist for a while, the ghosts and gods will not exist. ”
Fan Li asked again: "Which is more difficult?"
I pointed at Yi Zhi and said: "Ghosts have no body, the immortal path is more difficult than mortals, at present, there is only one person who has cultivated to the heavenly immortals, and the rest are only earth immortals." ”
I pointed at Daji again and said, "Ghosts and gods, they can be achieved in an instant, but most of the ghosts and gods have limited qualifications, and there is no immortal fate, you have qualifications, so choose yourself." ”
Daji is angry on the sidelines, the world always uses her to talk about things, saying that beauty and beauty are misleading the country, but in fact, it is the nine-tailed fox who does this! Daji has been carrying the black cauldron for hundreds of years, and now she is particularly annoyed by others taking her as an example!
I quietly took some fruit from under the table and gave it to her, and she gave it a double push, and hid to eat it.
This fruit is still sent by Du Kang, the fairy fruit he got back from the fairy world grew out in the underworld, he made thousands of acres of orchards, hired a large group of ghosts to water and catch insects, and did not catch a single insect after catching it for more than half a year, this group of ghosts remembered that there were no insects in the underworld, except for the ghosts and the seafood in the river, there are no other living creatures in the underworld!
Du Kang's wine has made new progress, and he can already get drunk with the earth immortals, he really wants to see if the heavenly immortals will be drunk, so he sent a few jars to Yan Jundian and brought some immortal fruits to use for wine.
The results proved that the research had not yet been successful, and Du Kang still needed to work hard! Yan Jun didn't feel anything after drinking, and Lao Wu sighed in disappointment again, he had wanted to get drunk for a long time!
Daji only tasted one bite, and her face turned red, this wine is not small for the ghosts! She didn't like to drink too much, and after being curious to taste it, she stopped touching it, but was very interested in fairy fruits.
Fan Li thought about it seriously and said, "Fan Li is willing to cultivate the Immortal Dao!"
The boss gave me a look, and I stood up with understanding, and said to Fan Li: "Come with me, I'll take you to choose a cultivation method." ”
Fan Li followed me very respectfully, the grass hut was moved to the side of the Yan Jun Palace, and there was no way to be as lazy as when I took Yi Zhi there.
Tell Fan Li to calm down after going in, and then push him in!
Standing silently at the door of the grass hut in a daze, after a while, Fan Li came out.
"Thank you Yan Jun, I have obtained the Dharma. ”
"You're welcome, take care of things in the future. You have a good relationship with Shih Tzu?"
Fan Li shook his head and said: "When we meet in Pingshui, they are all just for the country, where do we get many feelings." ”
At first, I thought that as the little ghosts said, Fan Li and Xi Shi had a ...... Well... There is a personal affair, and now it seems that the rumors are wrong.
Fan Li explained: "It was I who found her back then, and there were many things later, I think I owe her a lot, I didn't have a chance in my life, and I can pay some back after I die." ”
I nodded and said to him, "You're an honest man!"
Fan Li just smiled.
Fan Li has gone to serve his twenty-year sentence, and Yi Zhi silently recorded our operations, intending to use them to fool other ghosts to work.
He is very envious that I have Daji as a secretary, but it is impossible for Daji to change jobs, he can only find a suitable ghost to cultivate by himself, but there are too few literate ghosts, and even fewer ghosts with knowledge and culture!
Daji's forgetfulness method has barely reached the beginning, and at her rate, she can't practice it for 100,000 years. Fortunately, her feelings for Bo Yi Kao have faded a lot with time, and sure enough, time is the medicine to forget everything.
I took the time to see the stone bridge that Ananda had incarnated, the bridge was full of mottled by the years, and countless people walked on the bridge, but there was never a woman that Ananda had seen that day.
He has been working on the stone bridge for 500 years, and there are still a thousand years to wait, and the promise of the Emperor of Heaven has never been different.
Jin Chanzi stayed in the heavenly realm for a few years and then went back, and he was not embarrassed to come to the underworld to see the eighth. It's like completely forgetting this big disciple and ignoring it.
Zuo Tianming and Yunhua Nu don't know how many times they have been reincarnated, I asked the boss to pay attention to them, and the boss has been making records about the two of them.
A long time ago, Zuo Tianming Yunhua Nu had never met again, Zuo Tianming was born at the foot of Kunlun in this life, and was taken into the mountains to practice by the few remaining qi practitioners in the world. Yunhua Nu was born in a small fishing village on the edge of the East China Sea, very close to the place where Yang Jian shot Jiujin Crow, she was accepted as a disciple by the scattered immortals of Penglai Island, and now she is also a cultivator.
It seems that the time for the two of them to return to the Heavenly Realm is not far away, I don't know if Yang Jian can still recognize the two of them, and how he will face them at that time. Yang Jian and Chang'e have always been a little ambiguous, but they have never made any progress, and their cultivation is also very stable, I don't know how they did it.
Nezha has been in the Heavenly Realm several times over the years, and he has brought a lot of special products from the Heavenly Realm, most of which are food! I don't know why, since he arrived in the Heavenly Realm, he has not grown up, and he has always been a child! Probably because of the long days and nights in the Heavenly Realm. The boss has been persuading him to come to the underworld for a few years, and maybe he will grow taller! We strongly disagree, such a cute child should be cute forever!!
"By the way, shouldn't our 100-year animal husbandry plan be mentioned?"
The boss suddenly remembered.
Lao Qi touched his chin, he didn't have a beard... , said: "It's time to start it, Ji Dan has already built a lot of cowsheds and pigsties." ”
The boss glanced at the sixth child, and the sixth child consciously picked up a roll of bamboo slips, and carved it with a knife!
"Alright!" the sixth was much faster than before.
Lao Wu suddenly said: "Let's go on like this, isn't it becoming more and more like the mortal world?"
......
The sixth looked for a moment and said, "It's different, ghosts have no life!"
Lao Shi, that is, Yi Zhi, rolled his eyes: "Why don't we study it and give the ghost a yin life!"
We began to silently think about the feasibility of this matter, the time limit for ghosts to stay in the mortal world is to see the speed of reincarnation, as long as it is not a ghost who does a lot of evil, usually does not need to go to hell, just throw it to reincarnation there to line up, when to line up, when to leave from the underworld. As for the unsettled accounts when he was alive, there will naturally be creditors to chase in the next life!
Silently calculated, now a ghost who goes to reincarnation, when it is his turn, it will take about a hundred to fifty years, and the specific time depends on how many couples in the world have children, and how many people die!
I said: "I think it's okay, the ghosts who are queuing up for reincarnation now will stay in the underworld for more than a hundred years, and it is okay to set a yin life, which will help relieve the congestion of reincarnation." ”
The second child's face changed, there are always ghosts in line in the reincarnation, and there is no end in sight, many ghosts have been waiting there since they died, for fear of being cut into the queue! Some ghosts are more intelligent, several ghosts gang up, leaving one ghost to occupy the position, and the other ghosts should do what they do, and rotate regularly.
The boss glanced at the sixth child again, and the sixth person understood!
"It's actually not bad that the underworld has become another world, at least it's a lot easier to manage. Yi Zhi said with his legs crossed.
He is the most qualified to say this, and the other Yan Jun are almost all outsiders who don't care about the world when they are in the world, only he is the Yin of Shang Tang, who is in charge of state affairs, and has also imprisoned the Shang King Taijia.
"People die as ghosts, ghosts die as people, that's not bad!" the second child nibbled on the fruit.
Lao Qi thought more thoughtfully: "It seems necessary to add more scenery in the world." ”
We all nodded, to put it bluntly, the luck of the underworld is to put it bluntly, what we look at is stability, the more stable the management of the underworld, the more luck will be more and more prosperous, and finally the more ghosts and gods we can canonize.
In recent years, the underworld has successively sealed some ghosts and gods, all of whom have been working for many years, among which the more famous ones in the underworld are Zhong Cha and Yu Lei, who are more outstanding officials after Bo Xi. Now that he is assisting the second child in managing the city, the other ghosts and gods also have their own duties, and Daji is the most idle one!
Once the matter is settled, there is no need for us to stay in the Yan Jun Palace, and there is still the city side to be responsible. The Yan monarchs said goodbye to each other and scattered in all directions.
I looked at Daji and said, "You go back to Huaicheng first, you don't have to rush to deal with it first, wait for me to go back in the evening to get it!"
Daji wondered, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go to Meng Po's for a bowl of soup, what flavor do you like? I'll bring it back for you!"
"Whatever, Meng Po's soup is delicious!"
I nodded, and hurried to the bridge. Looking at the fourth city, the fourth child and the woman were happily writing a cover for their newly opened soup shop, and the two of them were laughing very happily! For thousands of years, it seems that only after the woman came to the fourth city, the fourth child was happy.
Ji Chang and Ji Dan stood there with a confused expression, and the place behind them was surrounded by a curtain.
I walked over, Ji Chang opened the curtain quite skillfully, and after I entered, I closed the curtain very quickly.
Sure enough, the eldest and second were already inside, drinking the soup sullenly.
"I really don't know when Du Kang's wine will be able to get drunk with Jin Xian, I heard that you can forget your sorrows after getting drunk. The second child was a little stunned, he had been very sad recently.
The boss didn't say anything, just gave him a blank look. He is Da Luo Jin Immortal, according to Du Kang's current speed, this world is destroyed and reopened, and there is no wine to get drunk on him.
Ji Dan came in and brought me a bowl of soup, I thanked him and took it, and he withdrew again.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh came together, each with a bowl of soup, frowning, and using a mold.
The boss looked at the number of people and said, "According to the speed of a woman's goodness, it will be five years if it is fast, and eight years if it is slow, and she will become a mortal ghost." ”
The second child added: "According to the earliest policy, if you have practiced for 200 years, you can stay in the underworld for a long time, and all ghosts will be sent to reincarnation according to their merits and demerits in life. ”
I calculated: "According to their current state, you and I will definitely become a mortal ghost in five years, and coupled with the speed of mortal ghosts waiting for reincarnation, the time of the woman is less than one hundred and fifty years." ”
Lao Qi drank a bowl of soup happily, and said a little heroically: "How good, the world has only loved each other for seventy or eighty years, and the fourth child has more than a hundred years left to rely on each other, and they can be content." ”
The fifth child complained to him a little: "At the beginning, we were all against the fourth child, only you are supporting, the woman is good to run to reincarnation, and the fourth child will not live alone, will you send them to reincarnation?"
The sixth patted him on the back and signaled him not to get too excited, it was not good for the fairy to be excited.
Lao Qi stopped talking sullenly.
I fell behind me, in an indecent, but comfortable posture, and said, "Don't talk about it, Yan Jun never interferes with each other's decisions, this is one of Yan Jun's most important principles. Regardless of the world, regardless of the high or low, uphold the public heart, which is a more fundamental criterion. All ghosts must be reincarnated, and the fourth child will let him go if he wants to, he will choose it by himself, we just need to be happy for him. ”
The second child also fell to the ground and said: "That's right, it's good if my brother is happy, it doesn't matter if he is doing well or badly!
"You guys, really! You have been together for thousands of years, and I can't bear to send him to reincarnation, can I bear it? I've been in the underworld for more than a thousand years!"
Yi Zhi walked in as he spoke, holding a large jar of wine with a height of one man in both hands.
"I thought you were going to Du Kang, but I didn't see anyone when I went, and then I thought about it!"
Lao Liu explained: "Du Kang's wine can't get us drunk and can't taste it, but Meng Po's soup contains all kinds of flavors, and drinking two sips when you are worried will help relieve you." ”
Yi Zhi put the wine jar on the ground, patted it, and said: "That was before, from now on, below the Golden Immortal, whoever drinks will get drunk!"
Lao Wu's eyes lit up very brightly, he stood up and sniffed around the wine jar, and said, "Du Kang has researched it?"
"Today's latest results, he found a few judges of the Earth Immortal Cultivation to taste it, and he lay on the ground with a drop, thinking that it was no problem to get drunk with the Heavenly Immortals, but he didn't know how the Golden Immortals drank it. ”
The second child took the bowl and scooped it directly into the bowl, and poured it into his stomach with a clatter.
I closed my eyes and had a long aftertaste, before I got drunk and said, "No, it's still tasteless..."
Lao Wu pushed him away, drank a bowl like him, and shouted a little inarticulately: "Okay, come and drink!"
The sixth and seventh people all surrounded them, three people, you have a bowl, I have a bowl, and the drink is a little dark. After they drank half a jar of wine and lay on the ground, Yi Zhi dared to walk over and slowly taste Du Kang's new work.
I looked funny and leaned over with the bowl.
The second child drank the soup sullenly and said, "What are you going to do, and you can't get drunk!"
I smiled and clicked on myself a few times, and my cultivation dropped a lot in an instant.
The second child's eyes widened and he shouted, "You cheat! Tell me how you did it!"
I smiled silently, the boss patted his head, and said in a rather pitiful tone: "Don't envy him, I can't learn this method." ”
The second child went to drink the stuffy soup with his head bowed again.
The wine is spicy and fruity, and it is wonderful. After three bowls, I was a little dizzy, and I looked at Yi Zhi, who was lying next to the fifth child, and the wine was spilled all over his clothes, and he was still drinking like crazy.
For the first time, I experienced the feeling of being drunk, Yan Jun's minimum cultivation must be a Heavenly Immortal, and I didn't dare to lower my cultivation before, because it involved abdication, and lowering my cultivation at will hinder Yan Jun's criteria.
Now there is no need to scruple, the immortals are good, no one can affect them, and they can still drink happily.
The third and eighth have gone to the heavenly realm, each with their own guards, and the fourth child's path is his own choice, and he will go, but... I haven't sent a friend for more than 3,000 years...... Sad .......
