When Chu Shan was ten years old, her grandfather died of a heart attack, and the whole family was keeping vigil in the house in the countryside, she and a few cousins were playing in the dam outside, each other's age was not very old, and the eldest cousin was only thirteen years old, and everyone didn't particularly understand the matter of birth, old age, sickness and death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The adults just told them that Grandpa had gone to live in another place and would never see him again. Although his mother explained to Chu Shan with tears in her eyes, Chu Shan couldn't understand where the other place in her mother's mouth was, and why she couldn't come back if she went. Of course she asked, even though her mother didn't answer her.

At first, it was the little sister of the aunt's family who cried first, when they followed the eldest brother to climb the small hill, the small hill is a short distance from the old house, because it is night, the eldest brother said that he can catch fireflies, so several people have shouted to go together, the adults are playing cards in the house, no one noticed the whereabouts of these children. They came to a small forest, and the eldest brother ordered the younger sisters to disperse and take charge of different areas to find the fireflies. Chu Shan walked slowly into the forest alone, and just after walking far, he heard the cry of the little sister. Everyone could only temporarily stop the "mission" of looking for fireflies, and gathered towards the place where the cry was made, and the first to find the little sister was the eldest brother, who saw her slumped on the ground, leaning against a thick tree behind her, looking at the pond by the forest and crying pear blossoms with rain. The eldest brother helped her sister to stand up and asked her why she was crying, she wiped her tears and grabbed the eldest brother and refused to let go, her mouth kept shouting, she saw her grandfather, who had just covered her eyes in the back!

First of all, the eldest brother was frightened, he scolded the little sister, telling her not to talk nonsense, grandpa has passed away, went to another place, how could it be here, but she couldn't stop how, but cried louder, she looked at the eldest brother and shook her head, no, no, no, grandpa was really behind me just now, I bumped into him, and when I was about to turn back, he covered my eyes, I thought it was you, brother, but when I turned around, I saw it, I saw it...... The little sister's cry pierced the silent country night and reached the house, and the adults ran over, and after a few reprimands, everyone was brought back into the house.

Mother pulled Chu Shan aside and looked at her seriously, "What just happened?" How did you get there?! ”

Chu Shan drooped his head and whispered to his mother following his eldest brother to find fireflies.

"Why is the little sister crying? Who bullied her? ”

Chu Shan hurriedly shook her head, although she didn't go to the pond with her little sister, there seemed to be a voice in her heart telling her that she must not state to her mother what her little sister said just now.

The aunt pulled the little sister to sit in the middle of the room, not far from the grandfather's coffin, she looked concerned, and comforted her while helping the little sister wipe her nose, "Don't cry, what's going on?" Wrestling? ”

As soon as the little sister turned around, she hugged her aunt tightly and said that she would not let go of anything. The adults all looked at all this with smiles on their faces, "The child probably wants to sleep." The second uncle walked out of the inner room with a glass of water.

"No, I'm not sleepy, I don't want to sleep!" The little sister hurriedly got her head out of her aunt's arm.

"Okay, okay, don't sleep, don't sleep." Auntie stroked her silky hair, "But I can't run out of my sight anymore to play, you know!" ”

The room resumed its previous gossip, but it was obvious that the adults were starting to get a little sleepy, after all, they had been on guard for a few days, and their energy was almost exhausted. It was approaching midnight, and the neighbors and friends had almost gone home, when a loud sound of glass breaking on the ground pierced everyone's ears, and people looked towards the place where the noise was made.

"Nonsense!" The aunt shook the tea leaves left in her hand, and scolded the little sister who was standing aside, and the little sister cried loudly, and the teacup that fell at her feet cracked into a five-point posture, and the light of the water droplets on the broken glass looked extremely dazzling in the dim light of the room.

The mother pulled Chu Shan over, she hugged her little sister and comforted, "What's wrong?" Why are you crying again!

"Just let her cry, this kid doesn't sleep so late, it's all nonsense!" The aunt held the tissue and glared at the little sister in confusion.

"It's okay, it's okay, come, tell Erniang what's wrong?" The mother ignored the aunt's words, and was about to walk towards the other side of the house with her little sister in her arms, but the aunt took a big step over and stopped the mother, "Sister-in-law, you don't care about her, it's not in the way." ”

"It's okay, you're tired too, I'll come and see for a while, it's okay." The mother pushed away the aunt's hand and said softly, but the little sister broke free of her mother's hand and was about to run to the place where the coffin was placed, and the mother and aunt chased after her at the same time, but at the same time, the lights in the house suddenly went out, and instantly fell into darkness.

The children began to cry because the house had the moon on its back, and when there was no light, it could be described as complete darkness. I saw the aunt calling the name of the little sister, while looking around, and then there was a cry of the little sister, forgetting who found the flashlight, with the cry, I found the little sister in the room of the dead grandfather, but the little sister actually leaned on the bed where the grandfather was standing, sat on the ground and cried, and the aunt hurriedly greeted her and hugged her.

"I don't want it! I don't want it! The little sister cried and shouted as if someone next to her was talking to her.

The aunt's face was blue, and she rushed out of the room with her little sister in her arms. At this time, the house had been lit with candles, and the adults who were keeping vigil gathered around to inquire, and although the aunt shook her head to indicate that it was okay, her face was extremely ugly.

As soon as they reached the hall, a strange sound suddenly came from the coffin, and everyone looked at it in unison, but no one dared to move, let alone get a little closer.

"Grandpa is back! Grandpa is back!! The little sister screamed, but this time she didn't cry. Her voice was loud, especially in the quiet of the room. "Grandpa is talking to me!"

The aunt hurriedly covered her mouth, but the little sister seemed to be on the way, and her strength increased greatly, and she broke free of her aunt's hands, and before everyone could react, the little sister hit her head against the coffin with a violent force.

The house was in chaos in an instant.

Several of the children who witnessed this screamed, and the adults panicked.

And Chu Shan, who was standing in the corner of the room, watched silently, grandpa stood next to the coffin and waved at the little sister, he was still so amiable in his impression, compared to the abnormal behavior of the little sister, everything looked out of place.

Later, I heard from my mother that the goddess in the village had calculated that it was indeed my grandfather who had returned, and that he was very lonely down there alone, hoping to find a grandson to accompany him.

Chu Shan asked his mother puzzled, didn't you say that grandma would accompany grandpa? Why did he come back? Why are you looking for a little sister?

Mother secretly wiped her tears, maybe grandpa didn't find grandma. He missed us, so came back.

At that time, although Chu Shan knew nothing, he didn't continue to ask in the end.

When grandpa was still there, he often looked out the window in a daze, sometimes he sat for a long time, his mother once told Chu Shan, grandpa was in a daze again, he was missing grandma.

"Oh? So are you coming forward now because you think there is something unreasonable about our trial of Dumay? After hesitating for a few seconds, Hades asked Chu Shan meaningfully.

"Your Highness, you have been thinking too much, the little woman has never meant this, but," Chu Shan lowered his head and thought about it.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Highness, just now we heard the judge outside the hall say that Du Meiyang's life is not over, right?" Chu Shan slowed down his speech, finished speaking, and glanced at the ghost official slightly.

"That's right, my book of life and death does record that she has not yet lived a long life." The ghost official gently picked the corners of his mouth, and his voice sounded a little twisted.

"In that case, doesn't Your Highness want to know why she ended her life early?" Du Mei turned around and glanced at Chu Shan, although there was only one eye, but she could see a glimmer of starlight in her dark eyes, like the last spark from ashes to the end.

"And then?" Hades's answer made Chu Shan a little unexpected, and her heart was shocked, could it be that what did Hades know?

"My destined person He Jun, that is, Du Mei who is kneeling in the hall now," Chu Shan paused, "Her husband in the yang world, husband." Chu Shan raised his voice, "A middle-aged man has a successful career, but the whole family died strangely. After finishing speaking, Chu Shancai suddenly realized that in this incident, so many people died, why did he only see Du Mei's soul, but not others, could it be that it was not time to enter the trial?

"There are more people like that. What does it have to do with our prefecture? The ghost official still talked to Chu Shan in a condescending tone from beginning to end.

"I also know that the most important thing in the yang world is people, and there are millions of bizarre events that happen because of people, but this time is different," Chu Shan moved his knees forward slightly, "I have contacted He Jun, and I can feel that he is now haunted by evil spirits, and this time, Du Mei's death, and even the bizarre deaths of his son and mother, must be related to this evil spirit." ”

"The evil spirit has its own Zhong Kui to clean it up, and what does this have to do with me?" Hades didn't seem to care too much, and Chu Shan also felt a trace of impatience from Hades when he answered.

"What the king of Hades said is very true, but because He Jun is destined for me, and I can't interfere without knowing what the purpose of this evil spirit is, for fear of harming He Jun himself in the end, so I came to find Du Mei, hoping to learn a thing or two from her." Chu Shan still said the purpose of this trip, although she knew that because of her selfish desires affecting the office of the underworld, the gains might outweigh the losses in the end, and the various smoke bombs she had made before were also self-defeating under the cold gaze of the king of Hades, no matter how she went around in circles, she still had to say this sentence. Chu Shan clenched his palms.

"You say my husband is haunted by evil spirits?" Du Mei snatched the words, and she didn't care about the ghost official's stopping, she pounced on Chu Shan, the medium similar to tears had quietly fallen, maybe for her, even if she was no longer a human now, she couldn't imagine the existence of evil spirits, such creatures. "I'm going to save him, yes, I'm going to save him, I'm dead now, I'm not afraid of anything!" Then he turned to the curtain and begged, "Your Royal Highness, I beg you, no matter how you punish me, I am willing to bear it, please give me a little time, let me go back to the yang world, I will save my husband, please ......"

"Bold!" The ghost official stood up, and at some point he had already taken a fan in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the emerald green magic light shot towards Du Mei, and Du Mei was knocked down by the magic light a few meters away, all of which was too late for Chu Shan to react, only to hear Du Mei's painful wail. "You are now a guilty body, the karma of your previous life has not been eliminated, but you committed suicide in this life and ended your life early, how can you still have the right to make demands?!"

"Lord Judge, please calm your anger." Chu Shan saluted again, "Adult's words, the little woman has something unclear, I can't ask about her previous life, but in this life, you just said that it was suicide, I think this statement needs to be verified." ”

"Huh? How dare you contradict me?! The ghost official couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, but now it's good, Chu Shan directly hit the muzzle, "Demon girl, you violated the rules of the underworld first, and now you directly suspect the trial, right?!" ”

"My lord, please forgive me, the little woman is also in a hurry, maybe there is something wrong with her speech, and hope," Before she finished speaking, an emerald green magic light entered Chu Shan's eyes, and several green rays of light similar to vines danced around her body, like a moving iron chain, tightly towards Chu Shan.

"Don't talk nonsense, you were supposed to be a human before, but now you have become a demon inexplicably, it can be seen that you have a lot of stories, let me see your past and present lives, and by the way, I will also make a judgment for you!" Something was read in the ghost official's mouth, and the magic light surrounding Chu Shan's body accelerated and rotated, the color became darker and darker, and the speed of the flight seemed to be going directly into her body, and Wushui, who was kneeling outside the hall, was so anxious to look at all this, but she was helpless to be restricted by Chu Shan's magic circle, and her Taoism obviously couldn't untie this shackle, so she could only kneel and do it in a hurry.

A shiny white light flew out from behind the curtain and landed directly on the emerald green magic light on Chu Shan's body, and the two lights converged together, but the emerald green magic light was very obviously squeezed out by the white light.

"Your Highness, ...... you" The ghost official looked behind the curtain with an incredulous expression, completely unable to believe that he would be interrupted by the king of Hades to cast the spell.

"Judge, you step back first, I have my own plans." Hades's voice returned to its previous thickness, and Chu Shan, who was originally nervous, eased his breath a little, and it seemed that there was still hope.

"Is Yu Chushan right?" Hades then spoke, "I admire your courage and courage very much, but the underworld has its own rules, and no one, not even the Emperor of Heaven, can interfere with it. DID YOU KNOW THAT? ”

"Please forgive Your Highness, the little woman knows this truth very well, maybe my previous words are indeed a little irrational, I beg for forgiveness from Your Highness and the judge. It's just that because I know all this, there are many problems with what happened here, but whether it is Du Mei's death or He Jun who is still in the world, I don't want them to end this life without knowing it, and the scourge is still in the world. Chu Shan continued to add, "Right now, Du Mei is dead, and her soul has entered the courtroom, even if she is really as I said, the end of this life is not her control, but I have never thought of interfering with anything, I just hope that His Highness can give me and her a little time, let me clear the doubts in my heart, and then I will no longer participate, as for the fault of me and my sister trespassing into the underworld or even the courtroom, I am willing to accept the punishment of His Highness." ”

"Not bad! Just as I thought," Hades seemed to laugh, and now he was tempted by all sorts of temptations...... I really can't guess what this great god is thinking, "You are indeed a strong-blooded woman, a demon girl!" ”

"Your Highness, I," Chu Shan was a little confused about the words of the king of Hades, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Would you like to hear a story from me?" Hades seemed interested in continuing the conversation, but what was he trying to say, or what was he trying to say? Chu Shan didn't know in his heart.

"Well, Your Highness, please speak."

"Not every trial I will participate in, the last time I sat here," Hades seemed to be calculating something, "It must have been more than ten years in the Yang Realm, and there was also a goblin who came here to oppose me. ”

"Huh?" What does Hades mean, what does it mean? So what's different this time from the last one, or what's wrong? Chu Shan's brain spun rapidly, and he really couldn't guess what Hades was going to express.

"I remember it was a young and beautiful woman on trial. She should be in the sun, "Hades fell silent again, but this time the silence was different from the previous one, as if it was a memory. "Stars? It's supposed to be called this, it's a profession, right? ”

"Back to Your Highness, yes, there is indeed such a profession in the Yang world, also called entertainers, which is a group of people who live by showing their art and getting paid to do so." I don't know if this explanation is correct, but it is estimated that it will not be far from ten.

"Well, it seems that she was all the rage in the yang world during her lifetime, but in the end, she chose to end her life by jumping off a building when she was in her prime." Hades said lightly, it seemed that he remembered this incident very clearly.

"Dare to ask Your Highness?? There's something strange about this, right? Although Chu Shan has been living in the yang world, he knows very little about the things in this circle, well, he should not know much about many new things, even so, there are some big events that have been seen in the news reports, and when she heard Hades say this, she also tried her best to recall and match some of the characters in her mind as much as possible.

"She is a very calm woman, and she doesn't even have a trace of obsession with her past and present lives when she is judged," Hades did not directly answer Chu Shan's words, and continued, "She is also unfinished. ”

"And how did it happen, goblin?" Chu Shan pays more attention to this, after all, the same thing, isn't she the goblin in the mouth of the king of Hades at that time.

"There are indeed many doubts about the end of her life, but because her good results in her previous life have not been rewarded in this life, and she was a Buddhist disciple in her lifetime, many karma has been removed, and we were about to announce the verdict when a bird demon broke into the temple."

"Harpies?" Chu Shan was a little surprised, the bird demon spirit, if he wants to cultivate to be able to enter and leave the underworld freely, it can be seen that his skill is not shallow.

"The only thing he did when he took the form of a man and broke in was to ask me for permission to bring this woman back to the sun." Hades's voice suddenly became a little stiff.

"That's definitely not allowed, right?" In fact, Chu Shan also wanted to know the answer, after all, there had indeed been several real incidents of resurrection in the yang world.

"There are both capable and uncapable of everything." Hades unexpectedly answered Chu Shan simply, but said something that was almost equivalent to not saying anything, "This bird demon is different from you today, his actions are only for selfishness, and he doesn't even cover it up at all. The reason is that the woman of judgment has been admired by him for a long time before her death, but he is forced by the presence of something around her that hinders his approach, so he can only turn into a goldfinch ornament on the dresser, and accompany her day and night until she dies. ”

"Something that gets in the way of his approach? The little woman is very curious about what it is, and can Her Highness solve the puzzle? Chu Shan was even more surprised, what kind of thing would such a bird demon dare not approach even an ordinary human because of something? Chu Shan didn't feel curious.

"Is it love?" Du Mei unexpectedly opened her mouth behind her, because of the impact of the ghost official's light, her body seemed to tremble a little, her hair was messy and haphazard, and even speaking felt like she had used all her strength. Chu Shan looked at the appearance of the woman in front of him, and there seemed to be a cool breeze in his heart that entered the hall, and a few wisps of indescribable affection rose inexplicably. "May I ask Your Highness, is it because of love? Because of love, I don't dare to break in rashly, and I'd rather watch it from afar than be remembered or even provoked by possible annoyance? ”

"Chu Shan, what do you think?" Hades asked about Chu Shan.

"The little woman doesn't know." Love is a word, it's really ...... Chu Shan really didn't know. "Then dare to ask how His Highness finally disposed of this woman?

"She finally chose to be reincarnated."

"Huh? So, what about the harpie? Didn't he come to take her back to the underworld? "Chu Shan is puzzled, if the underworld can really allow the soul of the deceased to return to the yang world, as the king of Hades just said, then it is not impossible for the bird demon to want to bring back this woman, then if such a thing is not allowed, it is not difficult for this woman to want to be reincarnated, but this bird demon took such a big risk to come, will it be easy to give up?

"He's gone." The ghost officer stepped forward.
