Ge Lao smiled contemptuously and said: A traitor like you is a teacher who is a teacher of the future, and everyone will be punished! Since the old man has some relationship with your master, then I will teach you the way of life instead of your master!

Demon King Yeqing looked up to the sky and smiled and said: "What we people in the Demon Dao originally pursued was the pleasure of killing, can such a threat deter me? Are you too naïve!

At this moment, the spy of the demon king Yeqing came to report, and it whispered quietly in Yeqing's ear, only to see Yeqing's face getting more and more ugly .....the more he listened!

Yang Zhuochao was secretly thinking in his heart at this moment: The bald donkey that Yeqing said in his mouth would not be the Dizang Bodhisattva! According to the situation, most of it is .....

This also proves his judgment from the side, the demon king Yeqing himself is the leader of the "undead" clan in the "Dark Hell", and this time he personally led a large group of people to the Netherworld to make trouble, maybe he will take advantage of the fact that only the Jizo Bodhisattva is in charge of the Dark Hell, and he has a plan.

But it is estimated that the Jizo Bodhisattva has long known about all this, and has made arrangements early in the morning. It made the Demon King Yeqing suffer a big loss because of this!Alas, this is the importance of intelligence, and the Demon King Yeqing seems to have forgotten the existence of the divine beast.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhuochao sneered: It seems that someone steals chickens and rice! It seems that the demon clan is afraid that he will return again this time.....

Demon King Yeqing glared at Yang Zhuochao fiercely and said: "It was you who took the lead in destroying me in the "Black Rock City" that day, so let's make an end today!

After saying this, Ye Qing waved his hand, and the demon army began a new round of attack.

The Netherworld immediately made a move, and under the command of the two ghost generals, Shen Di and Cai Yulei, the Yin Army of the Netherworld also greeted them. shouted for a while, and the entire battlefield immediately fell into a stalemate!

Yang Zhuochao only let Murong Feixue join the battle group, and the others stayed still. He wanted to study the combat effectiveness of this Demon King Yeqing and his "Black Flag Army" first, and then make tactical adjustments.

At this time, another reinforcement arrived from the Netherworld. The leader was born with the head of a leopard and a tiger, with an iron face and ringed eyes, and a beard on his face. Yang Zhuochao was so white and impermanent, Xie Bi'an told him that it was the "Zhong Kui" who was known as the "Heavenly Master" of ghost hunting in the Netherworld.

After Zhong Kui said hello to Xie Bi'an, he bowed to Yang Zhuochao and the others. Then he led his men into battle!

Although he was not able to be introduced, Yang Zhuochao also had a special sense of closeness to this mythical figure who was almost a household name in Huanyu China.

At this time, Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an introduced next to him: This Lord Zhong Kui was originally a native of Huanyu Huaxia and Zhongnan Mountain during the reign of Tang Dezong. The surname Zhong is the name of Kui, and the word is south. Although this person is ugly, he is talented and has excellent martial arts. One year, it happened to be the autumn imperial examination, and Zhong Kui said goodbye to his relatives and went to Beijing to take the exam.

Zhong Kui came to Chang'an all the way. Seeing the towers in the capital, there are stalls and performers, a prosperous scene. It's like a hillbilly entering the city and wandering the streets.

As I walked, I saw a hexagram booth in front of me, so I approached and said, "I'm rushing to take the exam, can Mr. calculate a hexagram for me, and make a good future." Mr. Measuring Words handed over a pen and paper, and Zhong Kui wrote a word Kui on it.

Mr. Measuring Words looked at Kui Zi carefully, pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "Childe's scientific research article will definitely take the lead, but your Yin Tang will be dark, and it will be unexpected. ”

Mr. Measuring Words thought for a while and said: "Kui characters are the first of nine and now, and now it is September, and you will definitely be at the top of the list when you come to catch the exam." But this first word is thrown aside, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come, and I hope that Gongzi is cautious. ”

Zhong Kui listened and thought to himself, the eldest husband is alive, as long as he walks well and walks right, how can there be a catastrophe? Therefore, he didn't go to his heart, and paid the money and left.

A few days later, Zhong Xu entered the examination room to take the test. After reading the exam questions, I was confident, and I finished writing the article in one go and handed it in. The chief examiner that day was Han Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the deputy examiner was Lu Zhen, a university scholar. The two looked at Zhong Kui's volume, and couldn't help but sigh at his genius, and the article was comparable to Li Taibai, so they named Zhong Kui as the first place.

Emperor Dezong heard Han Yu's outstanding talent as the champion of the new department, so he summoned Zhong Kui on the Golden Palace.

But when Dezong saw Zhong Kui's ugly appearance, he immediately felt unhappy and said: "What I ask for is my posture, demeanor, speech, and articles. How can such an ugly person be judged to be the champion of the Golden Branch?"

Han Yu hurriedly knelt down and said: "How can Your Majesty judge people by their appearance? The Holy Lord has never heard that Yan Ying is three feet tall and has become the prime minister of Qi State, Zhou Chang stutters but can assist the Han Dynasty to fight the world, Confucius uses his appearance to judge people and loses Ziyu, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Emperor Dezong pondered for a moment and said: "Although Han Aiqing's words are reasonable, when I was Emperor Taizong, there were eighteen students who went to Yingzhou to talk about the beauty, and this person is the champion, I am afraid that the world will laugh at me and not know talents!"

Prime Minister Lu Qi was narrow-minded and jealous of the virtuous, and after listening to the emperor's words, he knelt down and said: "The champion of the golden branch must be cultivated both internally and externally. There are more than 300 candidates for the Golden Examination, and many of them are capable, so why not choose another one?"

Zhong Kui saw that this person was so confused, and couldn't help but angrily pointed at Lu Qi and scolded: "Wouldn't it be a mistake to be such a faint official in the court?"

Seeing this, Dezong was furious and said: "The bold man dares to make a big fuss about the Golden Palace, and quickly take it!" Zhong Kui sighed loudly in anger: "Frustrated cats are difficult to learn tigers, and defeated parrots are not as good as chickens." "Then he slammed into the pillar and died with hatred!

Dezong had a big accident, and in order to win people's hearts, he ordered Zhong Kui to be buried as a champion official. He also named Zhong Kui as the god of exorcism to dispel evil demons in the world.

God Haotian was deeply moved when he learned of this. Originally, after Zhong Kui's death, like everyone, he was going to the Netherworld to suffer and be governed by Lord Yama. But God Haotian heard about Zhong Kui's grievances, so he was merciful and quickly sent a messenger to inform the next session, and let him go all the way without making trouble.

In the end, the Jade Emperor made a decree to entitle Zhong Kui as the judge of the Yin and Yang worlds, manage the secluded capital, and exorcise demons!

During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, once Tang Xuanzong returned to the palace from a trip to Lishan, he suddenly fell ill, and the Taiyi did not get better for more than a month.

One night, Xuanzong fell asleep after taking the medicine decocted by the imperial doctor. In his sleep, he suddenly saw a little ghost walking into the hall, wearing a red robe, with a bull's nose, one foot on the ground, the other foot hanging on his waist, and an iron fan in his waist, and he reached out and stole Xuanzong's jade flute and Yang Guifei's sachet.

Xuanzong was very angry, and stopped the little ghost and scolded angrily: "Who are you? The imp said in a funny tone: "I am wasteful, I like to steal other people's finances, and I can also steal other people's joy, so that he can turn his joy into sorrow."

"Waste" is the evil spirit that brings harm to people. Legend has it that he wore a red robe with a bull's nose, landed on one foot with a shoe, and hung the other foot around his waist, with an iron fan stuck in his waist!

Xuanzong was furious and was about to summon the samurai to exorcise the ghosts, when he saw a big ghost running into the hall. He had unkempt hair and a terrible face, his head was tied with horns, he was wearing a blue robe, his arms were exposed, and his feet were wrapped in leather.

Xuanzong was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" The big ghost saluted Xuanzong and said, "The minister is Zhong Kui of Zhongnan Mountain." During the reign of Gaozu Wude, I went to Chang'an to take the martial arts test and was killed by the traitorous minister, and I was killed in front of the palace in a rage.

Fortunately, Gaozu asked someone to bury the minister as a martial artist, and the minister was grateful, so he swore to rid the world of waste and demon for the Tang Dynasty!"

His voice was as bright as a bell, like thunder, and it suddenly woke up Xuanzong. I was scared into a cold sweat, and my sick body healed naturally.

On the second day, Xuanzong summoned the famous painter Wu Daozi into the palace, told him about the dream of last night, and asked Wu Daozi to draw a portrait of Zhong Kui according to the statement. Wu Daozi was ordered, as if he had witnessed it, and it didn't take long to finish the painting, and presented it to Xuanzong with both hands.

After Xuanzong saw it, he was dumbfounded in surprise and sighed: "Did you have the same dream as me? Wu Daozi grabbed it and said: "The emperor has every opportunity, so the evil spirit can take the opportunity to invade." Now with the protection of a god like Zhong Kui, it is a good omen for Your Majesty to live forever!"

Xuanzong liked to hear this, and immediately rewarded a hundred taels, and issued an edict to print the picture of Zhong Kui ghost-catching painted by Wu Daozi, together with the origin of this picture, and distributed it to the world. Let the people stick the portrait of Zhong Kui on the door of their homes at the end of the year and Chinese New Year's Eve to ward off evil spirits.

Therefore, Zhong Kui is the official of the emperor of the yang world, and the official system recognized by the Jade Emperor, although it is not as big as the king of Hades, but he is an inspector, if the king of Hades decides the wrong case, he has the right to overturn the case!

Therefore, in this netherworld, Lord Zhong Kui is in charge of the position of judge. The judge is an official in the underworld, who can sentence people to the reincarnation of life, and even has the power to punish bad people and reward good people. The judge is located in the temple of the Emperor of Yama and is in charge of judging the ghosts who come to Hades.

The four major civil and military judges in the palace of the king of Yama belong to the Division of Rewarding the Good, the Division of Punishing the Evil, the Department of Yin Law, and the Division of Inspection.

The judge of the punishment department is Zhong Kui. He was dressed in a purple robe, his eyes were wide open, his lips were closed, and he looked like he was doing business. All the ghosts who come to report are reflected in front of the mirror of evil, showing good and evil, and distinguishing between good and bad. All the evil spirits that have done evil in life are to be dealt with by him,

He sentenced according to the principle of "four noes and four nos" of King Yama, four nos ~ disloyalty, unfilial piety, untrustworthiness, and unbelief; Four no~ rude, unjust, incorruptible, shameless, light punishment for minor crimes, heavy punishment for serious crimes, and then handed over to the evil punishment platform, sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, until the sentence is completed, and then handed over to the reincarnation hall, pulled to turn into a cow and a horse, a worm into a dog, etc., and return to the yang world.

It was precisely because Zhong Kui was also called the Ghost Hunter that the Immortals didn't notice those ghosts and ghosts just now, as well as the water ghosts and kappa, all of them shaking like a bowl of water.....

The judge of the Reward Division is "Wei Zheng". He is in charge of Shanbo, dressed in a green robe, and has a lovely smile. All the good imps before their lives are arranged by him, and they will be rewarded according to the degree of good deeds before their death. In the six realms of reincarnation, or ascend to heaven and become a god; Or reincarnated as a human being, you only need to drink a bowl of ecstasy tea at Meng Po, forget the grievances before death, and you can eat the fireworks in the world again.

Wei Zheng in history is the Guanglu doctor of Tang Taizong, a well-known "counselor" in history, who is upright and upright, and has the courage to give direct advice. After Wei Zheng's death, he was taken under the command of Yama and served as a judge of the Reward Division. It is said that Wei Zheng was once authorized by the gods to kill the Dragon King of Jinghe in a dream.

The judge of the Chacha Division is called "Lu Zhidao" and is a native of the Song Dynasty. That is also commonly known as the "Lu Judge"! His eyes were like lightning, he was upright, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring. His main responsibility is to let the good get good rewards, the merits are promoted, the evil people are punished as they deserve, and the wronged are rehabilitated.

The judge of the Yin Law Division is called "Cui Jue", and he is a well-known figure in the Yin Cao Underworld! Holding the life and death book in his left hand and the soul hooking pen in his right hand, he specializes in carrying out the task of adding longevity to the good and letting the evil return to the yin. This public surname Cui Mingjue, under the control of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was a minister, the official Baizi Prefecture County Order, and later promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and the Prime Minister Wei Zheng had a very close relationship and became close friends.

During his lifetime, he was an upright official, and after his death, he became the most trusted judge of the king of Yama, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, and managing the life and death of people. He holds the "Life and Death Book" and the Soul Hook Pen, just a little hook, who should die and who should live is only in the moment.

In folklore, according to legend, Judge Cui was a native of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Tang Zhenguan entered the office for seven years and was the eldest son of Luzhou. It is said that he can "manage the affairs of the sun by day, break the injustice of the underworld at night, and pick people and ghosts, which is better than a god." He has many legends about solving cases, among which the story of "Mingjue Evil Tiger Hurting People" is the most widely circulated.

The story says: There is a big mountain at the junction of the southwest of Changzi County and Qinshui, called Diaohuangling, and there are often fierce beasts infested. One day, a woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood and was eaten by a tiger, his widowed mother was in pain, and went to the court to shout grievances.

Meng Xian recited the talisman in front of the mountain temple and offered it to the gods, and then a tiger came out from behind the temple, and the talisman came to him and let him be bound with iron chains. The evil tiger was detained to the county office, and Cui Jue was immediately promoted. In the hall, Cui Jue counted the crimes of the evil tiger and hurt people, and the evil tiger nodded again and again.

The final verdict: "The crime of cannibalism should not be forgiven." The tiger touched the stairs and died.

And Zhong Kui's other identity "Heavenly Master" has the ability to drive all ghosts, and the magic weapon is the golden seal of the ghost master, crisscrossing the underworld, and suppressing ghosts on behalf of the sky. Ghosts are also divided into strong and weak, peerless fierce ghosts are generally suppressed by the Emperor Xudu and the Five Directions Ghost Emperor, but some of the ghost kings who dominate one side have huge power and a large number, and it is not easy for the ghost emperor to go out easily, so they are suppressed by the ghost master and the heavenly master.

The Heavenly Master also has a "Heavenly Master Palace" under its jurisdiction, with two righteous brothers, Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu. And tens of millions of gold-armored warriors!

And Zhong Kui, as the "Heavenly Master", also has an allusion to marrying his sister: according to legend, there is a talented Zhong Kui at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, his family is very poor, his parents died early, and his sister Pear Blossom lives together.

Zhong Kui has few ambitions, a bold temperament, visits famous teachers, and learns a literary and martial arts strategy. It is said that in the autumn of this year, Zhong Kui wanted to enter Beijing to take the exam, but he was not entangled, and when he was in a hurry, thanks to his fellow villager Du Ping's generosity and gift of silver, he embarked on the road to Beijing to catch the exam.

Zhong Kui stayed overnight on the road, and rushed to the capital without leaving a moment, but fell ill. One day he came to a ruined temple in a daze, he really couldn't walk, and fell to the ground and passed out.

was "hijacked" by a group of little ghosts in a coma, and all the evil ghosts saw that Zhong Kui was dignified, talented, and jealous. One of them, a strange-looking ugly ghost, said, "Just change his appearance!" So all the evil ghosts rushed over with a roar, pressed Zhong Kui to the ground, and changed his appearance in the bloody forest.

In his sleep, Zhong Kui was awakened by a piercing pain, and the evil ghosts laughed fiercely and disappeared suddenly. Zhong Kui got up in pain and hurried, and finally came to the capital, and passed the exam and really came out on top.

The emperor heard that the new champion was talented, so he announced that he would face the king. Seeing Zhong Kui's ugly face, he was displeased and refused to name him as the champion. The examiner repeatedly pleaded with the emperor, saying that Zhong Kui's outstanding talent was a rare genius, and he should be the champion.

Zhong Kui also informed about the unfortunate encounter in the broken temple on the way into Beijing. When the emperor heard this, he was furious and gave Zhong Kui the crime of deceiving the king. Zhong Kui has a fiery temper, and when he heard this result, he immediately became angry and shouted, "Wronged!" hit his head on a copper tripod, and immediately the blood flowed like an infusion, and he lost his life!

Then Haotian God felt his talent and ordered the Jade Emperor to appoint him as the general of exorcising evil spirits, commanding 3,000 ghosts and pawns, and taking charge of demons and evil in the world.

Hades also gave Zhong Kui a Qingfeng Demon Slashing Sword and a ghost gourd as his magic weapon.

Then the king of Yama held a banquet and feasted the newly appointed general to exorcise evil spirits. For a while, the singing and dancing leveled out, and the suona played in unison, so it was not lively. Who knew that Zhong Kui touched the scene and burst into tears.

King Yama asked him why he was sad, and Zhong Kui replied: "Weichen and his sister Pear Blossom depended on each other in the yang world, and this time I returned to the west with my life, and my poor sister was alone, so I am sad!"

Zhong Kui asked Hades for permission to return to the sun to visit his sister. Fearing that Zhong Kui would be too sad, Hades allowed him to walk incognito, visit his sister, and ordered him to go early and return early.

When Zhong Kui arrived in the world, he first went to the broken temple on the way to the exam, and shouted at a group of evil ghosts. Hearing that the new general of the Hades Hall was here, they bowed to the ground one by one and did not dare to raise their heads. Zhong Kui shouted: "Raise your head, have you ever known your grandfather!"

The demons looked up and saw that it was Zhong Kui, the talent of Zhongnan Mountain, and they were all so frightened that their souls were not possessed. Zhong Kui said: "If you are full of evil, I will accept your ghost life today and will never be able to live forever!" After speaking, he raised the demon sword and waved, and the evil ghosts shrank smaller and smaller one by one, and were sucked into the gourd one after another, turning into wisps of green smoke in a moment, and floating out from the mouth of the gourd.

After slaying the ghosts, Zhong Kui came to the capital and saw groups of pilgrims, walking towards a new temple with golden splendor. Approaching to see "Zhong Kui Temple" three gilt characters, very surprised, just want to enter the temple, I saw Du Ping leading a group of people, carrying blessings, incense candles and other things to the temple gate.

Zhong Kui entered the temple and saw that there was a statue of himself inside, so he hid behind the statue. Du Ping went to the temple to light incense and bow and pray, Zhong Kui looked at it for a while before he figured out what was going on!
