Chapter 63: The Plague (1)

Shao Huan followed the path pointed out by Meng Po, and it was really easy to find the hall of the Hades. Based on the bad impression left here last time, I can't help but feel a little apprehensive when I set foot again.

I thought that the hall of the Hades King was an important place, and the evil ghost wails that I could faintly hear just now were no longer heard here. The huge hall is hidden in the darkness, and the two green lights in front of the door sway from side to side with the blowing of the wind, like the eyes in the dark night, which is particularly terrifying.

"Stop! Where did the living man dare to trespass into the underworld?"

Outside the door, two Yin soldiers pointed with spears in their hands, and when the sound fell, the Yin soldiers around them held weapons one after another, staring at the trespasser viciously.

Shao Huan timidly retracted his steps, glanced at the Yin soldiers who surrounded him, raised his hands, and said with a sneer: "Hehe! I, I'm not a stranger, I'm an acquaintance. Yes, yes, yes, acquaintances, acquaintances. ”

The two Yin soldiers led by glanced at each other, but they didn't buy it: "Those who trespass on the underworld have no return." ”

"Wait. The spear was only a stone's throw away from him, and Shao Huan shouted loudly, "I, I am a person who is free from the stream, and I am not allowed to be rude." ”

"Xiaoyaojian?" the Yin soldier lowered his head and muttered, obviously having heard of Xiaoyaojian, and he was also hesitant.

Seeing that there was a turning point, Shao Huan hurriedly said his intention: "I am really a person who is free from the stream, and I came to the underworld this time to find Yan Ju. He knows me, and if you go and tell me, you will know that what I say is true. ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, has a lot of official business, and no one can see it if he wants to. ”

"Why are you so tendoned and don't know how to be flexible?" Shao Huan was almost crazy, seeing that he would definitely cause a lot of trouble if he delayed, and he didn't care about anything else at the moment, he shouted at the closed temple door with his throat in his voice, "Yan Ju, it's me, I'm Shao Huan, Yan Ju ......"

Unexpectedly, she was so troublesome, and the Yin soldiers were afraid that they would be scolded by their superiors because of this, and seeing that the persuasion was powerless, they wanted to forcibly drive Shao Huan away.

"Let her in. ”

A mellow voice came from the closed door of the hall, and the Yin soldiers who were entangled with Shao Fei suddenly stopped their hands one after another, and they should be heavy.

Yan Juan opened his mouth, and the Yin soldiers did not dare to stop him. Shao Huan patted his dress, and raised his chin arrogantly at the Yin soldier who was still fierce and wanted to forcibly drive him away, and then took a step forward, and pushed the door in very proudly.

Along the five-zhang long passage, it was dark all around, except for a few faint green lanterns hanging high on the top, casting a faint light to illuminate the four corners.

Shao Xi looked around as he walked. The place is still the same, spacious and quiet, as if there is a coldness and an invisible majesty that oppresses the nerves. However, this time, there is no Emperor of the Underworld, and there is no Yin soldier with weapons.

"Why are you here?" Yan Juan put down the red pen and raised his eyes to look at the approaching figure.

Only then did Shao Huan pull back his thoughts, and stopped when he got closer: "I'm here to return something." ”

Yan Ju snorted coldly: "What a bold man, he dared to take advantage of the official's unpreparedness to exchange the treasures of the underworld, what should he be guilty of?"

Shao Huan was startled, and his eyes were full of horror and stared at Yan Ju on the seat, who was full of anger. It's just that the fact that he secretly replaced the demon seal was exposed, and now he took the initiative to send it to the door in the name of "return", which is really unlucky!

Angry and dignified for a while, Shao Yan swallowed his saliva, but after all, he never refuted a word. Of course, there is no way to argue with it.

After a while, he only saw the solemn Yan Juan suddenly smiled, laughed twice, and quipped: "Scare you, give me a small lesson." With that, he rubbed his beard and looked up and laughed.

The tense strings in Shaoxi's heart loosened and he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that he was really not angry, he relieved himself: "You really scared me, I thought you were really angry with me!"

"Uncle can be angry with you?" Yan Juan grinned and hooked his hand at her, "Come up and speak." ”

Shao Huan obediently stepped forward and stood beside Yan Juan.

"Tell me, what are you here for today?" Yan Juan asked softly in a soft tone.

"I'm really here to return something. Lest he not believe it, Shao Huan hurriedly took out the demon suppression seal from the Liuyun brocade. Yan Juan reached out to take it, but she dodged it sideways, "You can give it back, but you have to tell me first, when did you find out that the Demon Suppression Seal I gave you before was fake?"

Shao Huan humbly asked for advice, but Yan Juan snorted coldly: "Are you really old and foolish to be an official? Although I have lived for many years, the Demon Suppression Seal is a treasure that I carry with me, how can I be easily blinded by the blinding method? It is also a shame that you can think of it, and you actually fool me with a broken stone, and it is still disgusting to carry it in your pocket." ”

Shao Huan was so amused that he sneered, and he didn't make fun of him anymore, and obediently returned the demon suppression seal.

The Yin soldiers in the main hall were all sent out, and now only the two of them remained. Shao Huan also knew that Yan Juan was a hard-mouthed and hot-hearted person, so he was a lot more casual for a while, and he did not pretend to be solemn.

Eye-catching swept over a thick booklet on the case, Shao Huan casually doubled it, and saw the words "Book of Life and Death" written on the cover, and knew that this was an important book that recorded the life and death of mortals in legends. This volume is in the hands of Yan Ju, except for the Hades, who has the power of life and death of mortals.

The so-called Hades told you to die on the third watch, who would dare to keep people until the fifth watch?

It can be seen that there is some truth in this statement.

"It is said that the number of life spans of mortals is in the book of life and death, if the name is crossed out, it is considered to be beyond the five elements and is not in reincarnation?"

Yan judged his head: "It is true." However, there are two volumes in the Book of Life and Death, the first volume contains the number of life expectancies, which is the main volume, and the second volume, which records the actions performed before life, is the second volume. Whether it is good or evil directly affects whether or not you can enter reincarnation after death, or what reincarnation is. ”

Shao Huan nodded, understanding: "That is to say, if a person is a great traitor and evil person in his life, he will not enter reincarnation; ”

Yan Juan stroked his beard, noncommittal.

Shao Xuan immediately frowned slightly: "It is said that the wicked have their own evil retribution, but as far as I know, there are also many people who have done all the bad things in their lives, but in the end they have not received any punishment, isn't it very unfair?"

"This ...... Well...... this" Yan Juan pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about how to give her the safest answer, and then said, "To put it in layman's terms, what a person has done before his life will be recorded in detail." The great traitors and evildoers will reflect on their lifespan according to what they do, which is to reduce their lifespan. Of course, there are so many mortals, there will always be places that cannot be taken into account. ”

Shao Huan sensitively discovered something, looked at Yan Juan with a smile on his side, and saw that Yan Juan's scalp was numb, and hurriedly added: "When, of course, even if there is sometimes negligence, but once this person's ghost enters the underworld, when the time comes, he will proofread the booklet one by one, and naturally he will not be able to enter reincarnation." Not only that, but he even has to make up for his mistakes in life in the underworld until the evil deeds are eliminated, and then he can re-enter samsara. ”

"That's right. Shao Huan turned the red pen in his hand and did not ask any more questions.

The underworld has its own rules, and what Yan Juan can say is only one or two out of tenth, and the rest are more unfathomable, he doesn't have to say it, and he doesn't have to understand it.

But there is only one thing, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's not that it won't be reported, it's really just that the time has not come!

"Okay girl, you have returned this thing, and you have asked what you want to ask, if there is nothing to do, go back quickly." After taking the red pen from Shao Huan's hand, Yan Juan lowered his head, and carefully took the book of life and death to look at it carefully, "I still have something to do, so I won't greet you." ”

Come on, this is a clear eviction order!

Shao Xian Ying's lips pursed, and she just took a step and took it back, leaning over the case, looking at Yan Juan opposite with dripping black eyes: "There is one thing that I think is quite strange." ”

"What's the matter?" Yan Juan didn't raise his head.

"As you said just now, people who have done evil deeds in their lives not only cannot enter reincarnation, but even have to repay them in the underworld. What about Meng Po? I look at her very well, but she doesn't look like some kind of traitor!"

Speaking of this, it's really confusing.

Generally speaking, if you are not a cultivator, after the death of a mortal, the appearance of the ghost is exactly the same as before death, and even if it is a spirit body, there will not be much difference. Meng Po looked at the seventy years old, what evil would an old woman of such an age do when she was alive?

Speaking of Meng Po, Yan Ju's hand flipping through the book paused, followed by a shock, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Shao Huan pondered in his heart, but he didn't pay attention for a while. After inadvertently glancing at it, he saw that Yan Juan had lost his mind, so he raised his jade arm and shook it in front of his eyes, and asked, "Little uncle, what's wrong with you?" Did you hear what I was saying just now?"

Yan Juan suddenly woke up, his hand shook, and the red pen he was holding fell to the book of life and death, and instantly lost a piece. He frowned secretly and cast a spell, and the red stain disappeared in an instant.

The more Shao Huan looked at it, the more suspicious he felt: "Little uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"Girl!" Yan Juan called in a low voice, and Shao Yu hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen, "Meng Po...... She is a special circumstance, and staying in Hades and not entering reincarnation is not a punishment, but it is voluntary for her. ”

"Voluntary?" was taken aback.

Yan Juan nodded, leaned closer to Shao Huan, and lowered his voice as low as possible: "I can't talk about Meng Po's affairs in detail, if you talk about it in detail, she should be regarded as half a god of the underworld." Of course, if she can stay in the underworld, it is also the emperor of the underworld who personally agreed. ”

"Then she ......"

"You don't have to ask about her. Yan Ju's face sank, and his swarthy face looked a little preoccupied, "In short, that's a poor person!"

A layer of ripples stirred up in Shaoxi's heart, thinking of such a kind old woman, if she hadn't done a lot of evil things, but voluntarily gave up the road of reincarnation and stayed in the underworld forever, I don't know, how many obsessions are stored in this heart, and even the afterlife is abandoned.

"Girl, is there anything else?" Yan asked in a low voice.

Shao Huan nodded heavily: "There is a plague in the mortal world, does the little uncle know?"

"The affairs of the mortal world are under the jurisdiction of the Nine Heavens, and are not within our scope. Hades has always been in charge of ghosts, ghosts, and people. ”

"But I walked all the way along the Lechuan River, crossed the Sansheng Stone, and crossed the Naihe Bridge, but I didn't see any ghosts. Shao Huan suddenly felt strange, "The plague in the mortal world this time is menacing, not to mention the number of deaths is not less than hundreds, but I really haven't seen a single ghost." ”

"Hundreds of deaths...... Yan Juan frowned, as if he was pondering something.

Shao Huan wasn't sure what he meant, but when he heard this question, he nodded honestly.

Although she didn't go to the mortal world in person, she also saw the tragic situation in Xigu County through the water mirror, with corpses all over the field and a mess.

"Girl, what you said is true?" Yan Juan stared at Shao Huan, waiting for her to answer more certainly.

Shao Huan was confused by the question, but still answered firmly: "I'm sure." ”

"It's bad!" Yan Ju suddenly rose, his face changed greatly, and he immediately left the stunned Shao Huan and hurried out of the Hades Palace.

Shao Yan was stunned in place for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and he didn't know where the little uncle was in a hurry. But there was one thing she didn't know, because Hades ...... There are no ghosts who have died of the plague.
