Chapter 353: Going to the Underworld
Before the news of Qin Yidong's death, everyone didn't want to sleep this night. Li Yi, who returned to the nursing home, stayed up with everyone, chatted and drank tea, and slowly passed the time.
Li Yi looked at the air conditioner and yawned, the living room was too big, and the air conditioner was not powerful.
"Why don't we go over there and have a fire?" Fang Ting also said with a yawn.
Li Yi took out his mobile phone, but he didn't dare to look at it when he remembered it, the screen would be reflective, in case Qin Yidong was still casting spells, it would be troublesome.
"Okay, let's go to the fire, hug a little quilt, and you can squint by the fire for a while. Li Yi said.
So they went to the small bungalow together, smashed a chair and lit a fire. The orange firelight instantly warmed up the room, Li Yizheng was thinking about it for a while, and there was a fog in the room, but it was Lao Jin who came.
"Li Yi, did you kid kill someone?" Lao Jin shouted.
"Uh, Qin Yidong is dead?" Li Yi said with a wink.
"Hey, you really did it!" Lao Jin smacked his lips and said, "Let's go, come down with me." ”
"What?" Li Yi was startled and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't it mean that even if I kill someone, as long as I am sure that he is using spells to harm people, at most I can deduct some merit?"
"This time it's different, someone is suing you about this. Lao Jin said.
"The judge?" Li Yi blinked.
"You know everything?" Lao Jin looked at the wine bottle in Lao Dao's hand, Lao Dao immediately took out another bottle and offered it with both hands, Lao Jin grinned, unscrewed it honestly and unceremoniously took a sip, and then continued, "Just now, Dean Bai was pulling Judge Cui to fight in the ring on the side of the City God, but Qin Yidong died suddenly, you said that this matter was done...... Now the city god has ordered you to go down and ask questions. ”
"Uh......" Li Yi was depressed for a moment, if he wants to say that he is afraid, he is not afraid, after all, Qin Yidong is a guy who uses spells to harm people, even if such a person is killed, it stands to reason that he will be punished with a hundred and ten points of merit, not to mention that he did not kill him himself, and it should be the old woman who is guilty of the crime.
After thinking about the stakes clearly, Li Yi decided to follow Lao Jin to take a look, after all, he was also an official under Lord Chenghuang, and it was only appropriate to report on his work.
"Well, I'll go down and take a look, and be careful not to let my flesh be burned by this fire. Li Yi said and moved a little to the distance of the fire, and then sat still with the Yin and Yang Order Plate in his hand, his eyes closed and opened again, but the living soul had already left the body.
"Let's go!" Lao Jin beckoned and got into the fog, Li Yi wondered that the process of this "business trip" was not the same as last time, and he also followed Lao Jin into the fog.
As soon as he entered the mist, Li Yi found that he had already arrived in front of a gate one step away, but it looked far more magnificent than the City God Temple, just like an ancient palace.
There are high stairs at the oncoming gate, one by one, with a ghost lining up on each floor, and people in white police uniforms maintaining order next to them.
"It's the first time you've actually come down, so I'll take you to the main gate to show you something. Lao Jin said with a smile and took Li Yi up the steps.
At the top of the stairs is a large gate, and a team of ghosts are maintaining order, but these ghosts are dressed like ancient soldiers, and the style is very different from those white police uniforms on the steps.
"This is the ghost gate?" Li Yi asked with a wink.
Lao Jin laughed and said, "What kind of ghost door is not closed, this is just a place to register identity." The real ghost gate actually refers to the gate of hell, and the ones that are closed inside are the ghosts, and they must be closely guarded. ”
Li Yi muttered in his heart, he is still closely guarded, he will riot and escape from prison at every turn, and what he only knows has happened at least twice, once he has affected the old way, and once he has run out of that Lord Wang.
After passing the gate tower, there is a large hall in front of it, which is where the judge's office is.
According to Lao Jin, there is only one judge, but there are many clerks under him, and all the souls who return to the underworld must be checked in the book of life and death to determine the longevity, as well as the merits of this life and even the previous life.
"Dean Bai quarreled with Judge Cui here just now, and the quarrel almost broke out, but Ma Mian came out to persuade him to fight, so he went to the city god to judge the reason. As he spoke, Old Kim walked through the hall and out through the back door.
There was a big courtyard outside, Li Yi took a closer look, and it seemed to be similar to the layout of the backyard of the City God Temple, but the courtyard was larger, and the house was taller and bigger.
"That's President Qian's place over there, right?" Li Yi pointed to the side room.
"That's right," Lao Jin smiled, and pointed to the two rooms on the other side, "This is my office and Dean Bai's. ”
"Tsk, our underworld here is not big, it's far worse than Xijing. Li Yi muttered.
"Don't let Lord Chenghuang hear this. Lao Jin hurriedly said, "Of course, we can't compare with Xijing here, but they are ancient capitals, and we were a small county town before the founding of the People's Republic of China." Lord Chenghuang has always disliked that we are not magnificent here, and I am thinking about expanding it, but now people don't believe this, if the Chenghuang Temple is not for the incense, I am afraid that it will be demolished. ”
"Hmm, by the way, there are some cities that don't have a City God Temple, so there is no underworld below?" Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
"That's not what I said. Lao Jin explained with a smile, "There is no Chenghuang Temple and there is still a dungeon, but people don't have to limit it so much, and they can be built casually." In many places, instead of such ancient buildings, high-rise buildings have been built. ”
Li Yi couldn't help grinning, the people in that place died, and they had to run up and down to go through all kinds of procedures? I don't know if they can install elevators......
As he spoke, he had already walked to the front of the last hall, which was now open, and there were a few ghosts standing outside the door, and there were people arguing about something.
Lao Jin walked to the door of the main hall, motioned for Li Yi to stand first, and then shouted into the main hall: "Black Impermanence is ordered, and Li Yi has arrived with the wandering god!"
"Come in. "There was a voice from the main hall.
It's not the first time Li Yi has seen the City God, but this time is different from the original, it turned out that he fell into an illusion in the City God Temple, but this time the soul really arrived in the underworld, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and he followed Lao Jin over the high threshold and entered the hall very restrainedly.
The furnishings in the main hall are different from those in the City God Temple, and it looks like an ancient yamen, and the City God is sitting behind the bookcase, dressed like a county official.
Dean Bai was standing opposite the bookcase, and on the other side was a chubby man, who looked like a big fat man who was a big circle smaller.
was looking at it, but the little fat man shouted: "Li Yi, when you see that the city god doesn't kneel, what crime should you be guilty of!"
