Chapter 174: Loneliness

It was the first time for Nezha to bring a ghost to the underworld, and Cao Cao was the first soul he sent down. On weekdays, he is busy with ghosts, and after Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, don't be a figure of Cao Cao's status, even if he is an official under 2,000 stones, where can he work as a city god.

Cao Cao couldn't understand Nezha's excitement at the moment, wasn't he in charge of the errand of sending ghosts to the underworld? Why are you so excited? Could it be that there are ghosts in this?

The fox looked around suspiciously, it was all empty, and there should be no ambushes. Cao Cao was a little relieved and asked, "Chenghuang, where are we going next? Are we going to the judge's mansion? Can I go to meet my relatives and friends first?"

Nezha thought about the feasibility of this matter and said, "No, the soul can't wander around in the underworld." When you come out of the judge's office, the judges will notify your relatives to come and pick you up. It won't take long, you'll definitely be able to get out before it gets dark. ”

Cao Cao's eyes rolled, and he didn't say anything. The underworld is a completely unfamiliar environment to him, and it is better to be patient for the time being in such an environment. It may not be as good as expected, but if something happens, it will most likely make things worse. In this case, it's better not to act casually.

Nezha took Cao Cao all the way to Yanjun City, Cao Cao saw such a big city for the first time, and sighed at the gap between the world and the underworld, and asked Nezha: "What is the institution of the underworld?

"Yes, where did the officials of your local government come from? Most of them died in the human world. Yingzheng was in the underworld to be Yan Jun before! Liu Heng seems to be soon, Zhang Liang and Guiguzi are now Yan Jun in office. If you do a good job in the prefecture, there is a lot of room for promotion!"

"Yan Jun, the king of the underworld?"

"That's right, there are a total of twenty-two thrones in the realm and the underworld, ten in the realm, twelve in the underworld, and ten in the underworld, and twelve in the lower one, which is the highest throne in this land. ”

Cao Cao asked a little embarrassedly, "Isn't Yan Jun hereditary?"

Nezha looked at Cao Cao with a foolish look and said, "How is it possible! Is there a class difference in the underworld, Yan Jun and mortal ghosts are essentially the same, how can there be a hereditary position." If Yan Jun is not transferred, he will basically not be able to do it, what will he do hereditarily. ”

Cao Cao didn't ask anymore, and there was a hint of joy in his heart for no reason. It doesn't seem to be a bad thing to die, and there is still a chance to become a time official. There's no big deal to talk about starting over, didn't he start from Lang Guan at the beginning, he Cao Cao is a man who boiled from Lang Guan to King Wei!

With such a position as a king, he has no chance to touch in the world. Although Liu Xie, the emperor, is basically the same as not, but the hearts of the people are still inclined to the Liu family. And the historian's knife and pen are too ruthless, he Cao Cao doesn't want to be the second Wang Mang, he would rather be the king of Zhou Wen. It's better to hand over the black pot to the son to carry it, and the son will carry the pot for the father, as it should be!

If you can't do it in the human world, it's not bad to work hard in the underworld. Although there are a lot of people in Yan Jun's position, he is not a king after all!

Nezha didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, so he took him to the gate of the judge's mansion.

The ghost guards who watched the door greeted him with a smile when they saw him, the third prince of the Dawang family, and the older ghosts in the underworld all knew it!

"Third prince, why did you come here in person today? Who is this ugly ghost?"

Ugly ghosts? Cao Cao forcibly endured the anger in his heart, what happened to him if he didn't look good? If he provoked someone, he would call him an ugly ghost when he came up. But what's the matter with the third prince? Could it be that this city god has another identity?

Nezha replied politely: "Don't call me the third prince, I am now the city god of the Luoyang City God Mansion in the world." This is Cao Cao, the king of Wei, who died in Luoyang, and I thought that he was a prince, so I personally sent it over. ”

The ghost pawn smiled: "It turns out that he is Cao Cao, many ghosts have been talking about him over the years, and he looks like this when he works together." Wait a minute, I'll go in and find out which judge is trying him. ”

"Trouble!"

The ghost pawn waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing. He ran into the door, and after a while, he ran back and said, "He was lucky to be assigned to Judge Ji's public house." The ghosts who want to see Judge Ji all these years can be lined up from this way to the ghost gate, or these newly dead ghosts are lucky!"

Nezha said with a smile: "Then I'll take Cao Cao in, you will continue to be busy!"

Cao Cao slandered the ghost pawn about his appearance, and followed Nezha inside. After walking a few steps, he asked Nezha, "Who is Judge Ji?

"Judge Ji, it's Ji Dan, you all call him Duke Zhou. Now King Wen of Zhou's Zhou Yi is very famous in the underworld, and many ghosts want to follow Ji Dan's path. Ji Dan also has a headache for this, and many ghosts deliberately violate the law, in order to come to the judge's mansion to try their luck. ”

Cao Cao was puzzled: "Why do you have to come here to try your luck? Can't you go to his house?"

Nezha shook his head and said: "The judge's mansion is not like before now, there is a public house in the courtyard, and one room for each judge." The judge didn't come out if he had nothing to do, he couldn't block it anywhere else, and it wasn't easy for Ji Dan, so many ghosts stared at him, and he didn't dare to come out on vacation for many years. ”

Cao Cao seemed to remember something, hurriedly looked at his body, and raised his hand to touch the hairpin. This outfit is still what he wore before he died, and he followed Nezha around the world for a few days, and it was inevitable that he was a little messy, was it a little inappropriate to go to see Zhou Gong like this? Thinking about it, he simply stopped in place.

Feeling Nezha's puzzled eyes, he hurriedly said: "Zhou Gong is a sage of the ancients, and he must be solemn when he sees it, my current clothes and appearance are inevitably messy, I am afraid of making Zhou Gong unhappy." Is there a place for me to fix it?"

Nezha said indifferently: "What's the matter, the underworld doesn't pay so much attention to it." Ji Dan is a good person, he always followed King Wu around back then, and he was not so picky. Besides, I'm an immortal who belongs to the realm, and there's no place in the underworld!"

Cao Cao was pushed all the way by Nezha to Ji Dan's public house, and when he entered the door, he deliberately smoothed out the folds on his clothes.

After entering the door, Cao Cao bowed very simply, his waist was bent very low, and his wide sleeves had hung down to the ground. It's been a long time since he's been so respectful, and he doesn't need to be like this when he sees the emperor in the world, and he's been exempted from salutation for a long time. Nowadays, although etiquette is still very standard, I always feel that something is not right.

Cao Cao's salute was indeed a little wrong, but it was not in his movements, but before he saluted, he didn't look at where Ji Dan was. This leads to a very eerie scene in the public house....

In the quiet space, Ji Dan stood beside the table with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and stood motionless. Who the hell is this? Come in and make such a big salute. To whom did he salute? Is there anyone else in here? Is there any creature that can scare a ghost?

Nezha kept rubbing his head, what kind of moth was Cao Cao doing? No one was aligned, what kind of courtesy was given......

Cao Cao waited for a long time, but still didn't hear any response, thinking that it was his own etiquette mistake? made Zhou Gong angry? Secretly stabbed Nezha, and gave two glances. Nezha didn't understand Cao Cao's eyes...... , but still said: "Ji Dan, how are you doing lately? Cao Cao, I sent it to you." ”

When Ji Dan heard Nezha's words, he moved, sat on his seat, and said, "Alas, what's the matter, I've been busy all the time, and I don't dare to leave the gate of the judge's mansion on vacation." How is the third prince in the world? There have been great changes in the world, but can you still adapt to it?"

"The change is no, but it's okay, but the world is still a little chaotic, and I'm afraid it will take some years to stabilize again. ”

"It takes some time to go from chaos to order, but it only suffers the people in the world. Even the ghosts in the underworld are much more than before, and many of them are reluctant to be reincarnated, fearing that they will die again not long after reincarnation. ”

Nezha's face showed a sad expression, for the immortals, compassion is an emotion that should not be had, but this emotion always makes the immortals unable to get rid of it. Even in a long life, I have seen many tragic phenomena in the world, but I still can't really be as indifferent as water.

After saying goodbye to Ji Dan, Nezha ran out of the judge's mansion at the same speed as flying. The underworld can always see those things that cannot be seen in the world, how many souls die every time, how many people die on the battlefield every year, it is difficult to count in the world, but it is just a convenient thing to come to the underworld. He didn't want to hear those sad news again, he just wanted to return to the City God's Mansion on earth as soon as possible. Close the door and stay honestly for a few minutes.

Only then did Ji Dan remember that Cao Cao was still bending over, so he said: "Cao Cao, King of Wei, you can stand up, the underworld does not talk about human etiquette." You're a celebrity in the underworld, and a lot of ghosts are thinking about you. ”

Cao Cao slowly raised his body, only to realize that he had made a mistake when he saluted. Fortunately, his heart was strong enough to keep his face as usual. Said: "Cao Cao in the world, I have seen Zhou Gong." ”

Ji Dan nodded and said no more. Silently looking at Cao Cao's life, his brows furrowed slightly, slaughtering the city, is this something that a good person can do? Last time, Xiang Yu was just arson in Xianyang, and he was sent to prison, and Cao Cao didn't run away!

Looking at the back, the people's livelihood governance is good, and the general level is enough for the top and bottom grades. This kind of ghost is rare! I have a good grade in the exam, and I am also superior in the exam. Write the results of the trial on the bamboo slips, throw them into the brazier and wait for the reply.

Taking advantage of the effort, Ji Dan asked, "Cao Cao, the ghost I died before, you admire your father very much?"

Cao Cao said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I wonder if I am lucky enough to meet King Wen of Zhou?"

Ji Dan pondered for a moment and said: "If there is no record of slaughtering the city, you have a chance, why do you want to slaughter the city? You have won the battle, what are you doing to slaughter the city? Tao Qian can barely have anything to do with your father's death, and the people of Xuzhou have recruited you to provoke you?"

Cao Cao said embarrassedly: "I was too angry at that time, and I couldn't stop it for a while, so I made a mistake." ”

"Alas, it's a pity ......"

A cloud of ash flew out of the brazier and landed in front of Ji Dan, piecing together the reply of the Yan Jun Palace. "A hundred years of Daoshan Hell was changed to a lonely Hell for one year, and he was sent to Yan Jun Hall after completing his sentence. ”

Ji Dan was a little puzzled, and Yan Jun seemed to be a little interested in Cao Cao. Is there anything about Cao Cao that attracts Yan Jun? But the one-year lonely hell, I'm afraid I'm going to go crazy when I come out again? Guan Gao stayed in it for only half a month last time, and he hasn't recovered yet!
