Chapter 1: The Ninth Good Man
When people die, are there ghosts?
Yin and yang are separated, and even if there is, it is impossible for the living to know it, but this does not prevent the living from imagining.
The flat and wide Nai He Bridge, across the Lechuan River, Meng Po set up a stall at the west end of the river bank, the ghosts at a glance were pulled to the Nai He Bridge by an invisible and powerful force in the west, once the ghosts stepped on the bridge deck, there was no possibility of turning back, they could only line up neatly, fluttering forward, like moths fighting fire.
At this moment, an unusually arrogant voice sounded.
"I want to complain! I must complain! ”
With the voice, a tall and thin handsome young man walked over from the opposite side of the Nai He Bridge, his hair was waxed, looking neat and shiny, wearing a white suit embellished with many sequins, he looked like an idol singer who had just stepped off the stage.
"Smack!" A bowl of fragrant Meng Po soup fell to the ground, and the wrinkles on Meng Po's face became deeper, and she sighed helplessly, "Half a month's salary is gone...... For the ninth time, how did this scourge come back? ”
The ghost of the idol pop star, followed by a bull's head and a horse's face, the bull's eyes were as wide as two lanterns, and the horse's face was longer than the donkey's face, just because Song Songhai, who was designated by them as refusing to come and go, was back.
The legend of Song Songhai's nine deaths and eight reincarnations began when he was in a car accident and wrecked, and because he avoided several children who ran red lights, he accumulated yin virtue, and his yang life increased by eight years...... However, the unlucky bull head and horse face hurried back to participate in Zhong Kui's wedding banquet, and did not wait for the ambulance to come to the rescue, and hurriedly hooked his soul.
When Niu Tou Ma Mian woke up from drunkenness and found that the wrong person had been detained, Song Songhai's body in the yang world had been cremated, and in order to evade responsibility, they had to buy Judge Cui to send him back to the yang world, let him borrow the corpse to return to the yang, and use up the eight years of yang life.
Unexpectedly, in just one year, Song Songhai died eight times, none of which lasted more than two months.
Speaking of which, Judge Cui was quite good to Song Songhai, and the first life sent him to devote himself to a wealthy merchant in Yangcheng who had just drowned. This wealthy businessman is a jadeite businessman, running a large-scale jewelry company, with a jadeite processing factory and five jadeite specialty stores, with assets of more than one billion, but he is very old, 62 years old, his wife is only 23 years old, and there are three younger lovers, like flowers and jade, the youngest is only sixteen, enough to be worthy of him, right?
The problem is that Song Songhai is a person with a sense of justice, and he can't do anything when he faces the underage young/tooth, not to mention that this rich man was not drowned in the river, nor in the sea, but in the bathtub, and was drowned alive by his beautiful wife who was charming while taking a bath.
Seeing Song Songhai, who was floating in the air waiting to possess him, was terrified, so after he cried and wiped his tears and was unwillingly pushed into the body of the billionaire who had just drowned, he really couldn't enjoy this kind of glamorous blessing.
In two weeks, he learned about the operation and situation of the entire company, and then took out hundreds of pieces of jade jewelry with a unit value of more than 500,000 yuan hidden in the safe, and gave them directly to the rich man's wife and two abandoned sons.
The wife of a wealthy merchant was half frightened to death when she saw her husband dead and come back to life, although her husband didn't say anything, but her heart still couldn't settle down, and after more than a month of cold violence, she went crazy, and on a dark and windy night, she took a boning knife and stabbed him in the body continuously......
When Niu Tou Ma Mian heard the news and rushed there, he also felt that it was a little disgusting for the corpse with thousands of holes to be attached to him and resurrected, so he had to take him back to the underworld.
Of course, Song Songhai would not say that he thought that the hard places on that old guy's body were already soft, but the soft places were all hard, so he deliberately sought death, otherwise, he would not have chosen to sleep in the same bed with that vicious woman.
So, the judge racked his brains and sent Song Songhai to a deputy director of the Provincial Department of Transportation who was being rescued on the operating table.
The deputy director of the department, who was only forty-five years old and in the prime of life, had a traffic accident and was living in a higher ward, with tubes all over his body, and the scene of the busy traffic when he was just hospitalized had become crowded since the attending doctor told the organization that a memorial service was going to be held for him.
Song Songhai was a very ordinary person in his last life, with years of hard work, he lived a well-off life, he was quite interested in being an official, and he attached himself to the body of the deputy director, he also wanted to do something, but he really couldn't stand a bloated body, and the age was about to catch up with his mother's age as a wife.
The wife is older than her husband, six years older, back then, in order to find a backer, the deputy director married a woman who was older than him, ugly looking, and had a bad temper as his wife, back then, he was supported by his father-in-law, and he rose step by step, after his father-in-law retired, he did not dare to "divorce his wife", his eldest brother was better than his father-in-law in the officialdom.
In order not to share a bed with an old woman, Song Songhai, who was attached to the deputy director, decided to stay in the hospital for a sick number, but he refused to go home, and when he fused the memories of the deputy director, he was greatly relieved when he found that the deputy director was actually a member of a group of corrupt people.
Song Songhai collected a bunch of evidence and sent it to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, so when the case was strictly investigated and dealt with organizationally, he was honorably and voluntarily killed by his original accomplices.
No one is perfect, Song Songhai can only sigh like this, why is there no young and golden, handsome and chic, wind/flow/suave/fu, Yushu in the wind?
Well....... it's not that it's nothing, but that the young man who meets these conditions has a great body and eats a lot of food, and he has to wait if he wants to possess it.
finally let him possess a new generation of domestic idols and singers with strength for the eighth time, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, and he should have stayed well enough for these seven years.
I can't think of it...... He actually died again, not to mention poor Judge Cui, even the bull head and horse face are about to go crazy.
Song Songhai was greatly relieved, and soon after he beautifully possessed the singer who hanged himself, he was horrified to find that this beautiful man who had made countless girls crazy was actually a homosexual, and he played the kind of number zero, and he also had an incurable disease - AIDS.
The two burly lads who danced with him often harassed him, and when he refused to approach, the resentful look in his eyes made his scalp explode...... I'm a dignified seven-foot man, starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big thing!
Song Songhai thought sadly, so he ...... When the agency arranged for him to participate in the disaster relief charity performance in the earthquake-stricken area in the west, the famous star who "recovered from a serious illness" "accidentally" fell off the stage, and unfortunately, his temple hit the iron rod, so a wisp of resentful ghosts went straight to the underworld.
……
The hall of the Netherworld was quiet, and there were half-human-high documents stacked on the gloomy wooden case, but there was no one in sight of Judge Cui.
The bull head and horse looked around in surprise and walked towards the warp case.
There is a machine similar to the all-in-one machine in the human world, and the bottom of the table is half exposed, and it seems that someone is drilling under the table.
The Minotaur stepped forward and shouted carefully, "Your Excellency, what are you doing lying under the table?" ”
Judge Cui crawled out from under the table, he was wearing a red ancient official robe, two peach leaf-like yarn wings on a black gauze hat, a bit like the Qipin Zhixian on the stage, with eight-character eyebrows, small eyes, and a wrinkled little face like a bun fold, which looked more funny.
When the old man saw that it was them, he sighed sadly and said, "Alas! It's not this 'plague to death' system, since the system has been upgraded, I'm not used to it, and there are software compatibility problems, and there are often errors...... I heard that Judge Zhang Hong of the Reincarnation Hall has many ghosts who use system loopholes to travel through time and space to become breeders/horses, these people, they all say that people go to high places, and they didn't do anything bad in their previous lives, how can they rush to be reincarnated into the beast path? Being a breeder/horse, how hard it is, I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out. ”
The minotaur grinned, wanted to laugh but held back, and said secretly in his heart: "Forget it, the old man is old, and I don't know why the breed/horse is excusable, so it's not good for us to tell him this, so as not to bother to talk ......"
The minotaur muttered to himself, diverted the topic and asked, "If you don't understand, the little god can try to help you solve it." ”
Judge Cui shook his head and said: "No, I've been using it for a while, and I'm almost used to it, hey, I'm old, I can't keep up with the progress of the times, and sometimes I don't understand, the 'plague to death' system is very good, although there are a few small loopholes, but it's easy to get started, it's really not worth spending a lot of money to upgrade the system!" By the way, didn't you apply for leave, what are you doing here? ”
Niu Tou laughed dryly and said, "My lord, that ...... The guy who didn't want to live died again, after eight years of Yang Shou, he died nine times after a year, you have to think of a way, you have to walk a lot and finally meet the king of Hades, in case Yan Jun knows, it will be miserable......"
Judge Cui listened to the twitching of his face, hurriedly lay down in front of the all-in-one machine, pressed his hand on the keyboard, and knocked on the horn for a while, and then stared at the screen with wide eyes and was silent, Ma Mian couldn't help but get nervous, and hurriedly leaned over his donkey face and said, "What's the matter, it's dead again?" ”
Judge Cui said: "You can still move, even if the speed is too slow...... The system is upgraded, the software is not upgraded, the blind man lights the lamp in vain, and the running speed is too slow! ”
The bull head listened, touched the horns, and did not speak.
After waiting for a long time, Judge Cui's face suddenly changed, becoming pale and pale, if he wasn't still wearing that red official robe, Niu Tou Ma Mian must have thought that he was a ghost prisoner who had escaped from the prison, and he would have to be sent back.
Niu Tou was unconsciously moved and said, "What's the matter, my lord, it's really dead?" ”
Judge Cui trembled, pointed to the screen and said miserably: "It's over, although the fork skin system is often forked, it is much better than this Vesta, after all, the software and the system are compatible!" Knowing this, it was better to report to Yan Jun directly, saying that you were operating in violation of the rules and hooking people's souls by mistake, and the old man made mistakes again and again in order to help you plug this leak, which is miserable! ”
Ma Mian snorted, and said hatefully: "What's so miserable, isn't it just running back eight times a year?" It's a big deal to run back in seven years...... Seventy-eight, sixty-two, huh? ”
Judge Cui rolled his eyes and said, "Seven, eight, fifty-five, Ma Mian, how did you learn mathematics?" ”
Niu Tou laughed secretly: "I don't know about seven, eight or fifty-seven, I obeyed you!" ”
Ma Mian smiled awkwardly and said, "No matter how many seven or eight, I'm out of the way, I'm afraid!" ”
Judge Cui cried with a sad face, and said deflatedly: "No, no, no, look, plus the time you were wrongly detained, he has died nine times in a row, and each time he died because of good deeds, so ...... So ......"
Judge Cui took a long breath and gritted his teeth and said, "He is now a good man of the ninth generation. ”
"The Ninth Good Man? What does it mean? Niu Tou asked puzzledly, the judge's words were too profound, and it was really a little confusing.
Judge Cui shuddered and said: "If you send him back to Yang now, and he dies because of doing good deeds, then he is a good man of the tenth generation, jumping into the cycle of life and death...... Andersdan? ”
The bull head said puzzledly: "Ten good people? Jumping into the cycle of life and death? What do you mean? ”
Judge Cui slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth and said, "If you become a Buddha, you will become a Buddha!" ”
The bull head and the horse face opened their mouths wide together, and the horse face said in disbelief: "Impossible? How can it be so easy to become a Buddha? ”
Judge Cui smiled bitterly and said: "Sometimes becoming a Buddha and becoming an immortal also talks about chance, Guanyin Bodhisattva is because the Buddha preached and preached the day when the disciples became Buddhas, and the world coincided with a great disaster, and the Bodhisattva said: 'If all beings are not exhausted, they will not become Buddhas!'" As a result, she missed the opportunity, although her divine power is still above the Buddhas, she cannot be called a Buddha. ”
The bull head and horse face couldn't help but clasp their hands when they heard this, and the bull head said sincerely: "The Bodhisattva is kind-hearted, no wonder the world calls it great compassion." King Jizo Bodhisattva said, 'Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha!', like Avalokiteshvara, although he has not become a Buddha, in my heart, he is a true Buddha. ”
"Hey!" Judge Cui sighed, "The great mercy and compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva can't save you and me from today's difficulties, just because the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, the Buddha is righteous, three hundred years ago in Lingshan made a grand oath, if mortals can insist on ten lifetimes of good, then become a Buddha." If he is allowed to do good deeds and die one more time, then he will become a Buddha, and the Buddha has great powers, and he will definitely be able to see through the mysteries, and then he will not be missed. ”
Hearing this, Niu Tou Ma Mian couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a daze: "This ...... How good is that? This damn scoundrel guy, we can't bear to let him see him fall into a mess, and he kindly accepted his soul in advance, where did he know that the book of life and death suddenly changed again? How good is that? ”
Suddenly, the bull-headed fox rolled his eyes suspiciously and said: "No, my lord, when he borrowed the corpse to return the yang, in order to pay for the eight years of yang life, we can buy off Meng Po and not let him drink the soup, speaking of which, no matter how many times he dies, it should only be counted as one life, how can it become the ninth generation?" ”
Judge Cui sighed: "The system has a loophole, the fork has this loophole, Vesta doesn't, but before he died, there was no system upgrade, think about it, the system upgrade is still necessary, the funds, the funds are insufficient, and there are many problems...... If you have enough money, you will need to upgrade your software. ”
The bull head and horse face were stunned for a long time before they all said in grief: "Lord Bilgaiwa! ”
"Bilgeiva can't be blamed either!" Judge Cui was wandering around in the main hall, and after a while, he suddenly frowned, looked around awkwardly, beckoned the bull head and horse face to the front, twisted the mouse whiskers, and said with a sneer, "Ahem, cough, since the computer vulnerability in Judge Zhang of the Reincarnation Hall can make ghosts travel through time and space, I have come up with a way, if I think of a way to arrange for him to go back to the past and borrow the corpse to return to the yang, hehehe......"
The bull head blinked, puzzled, "So what? What if that bastard builds a bridge and mends a road, accidentally knocks on a small stone and dies, isn't it the covenant of the ten good people? ”
"Going back to the past, borrowing a corpse to return yang, mortals call it rebirth, which is more attractive than ordinary borrowing corpses to return yang...... Also, this time you have to vomit some blood, so that after this Song Songhai is reborn, you don't want to die, as long as the seven-year yang life arrives, we don't owe him. ”
Ma Mian muttered, "He doesn't want to die, and he may do good deeds." ”
Judge Cui gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's encourage him to do evil things!" ”
The bull head was puzzled: "How to instigate." ”
Ma Mian smiled: "It's too simple, give him some abilities, hehe, such as the technique of mining/yin/supplement/yang, harming others and benefiting yourself." ”
"yes!" The bull head muttered, looked at the horse's face a few times, and quipped: "Breed/horse!" ”
"You still breed cows!" Ma Mian rolled his eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense." Judge Cui said, "Wait a while, try to meet his requirements, don't, this time you must solve the problem, you should vomit some blood." ”
"Yes, yes!" Niu Tou Ma smiled embarrassedly and nodded in response.
