Volume 5 Tokyo Cold Chapter 450 [Tokyo Cold]
Zhao Heng has followed the nurse to believe in Buddhism since he was a child, and he has naturally heard a lot of stories about gods and monsters, and now when he sees such a scene, he was stunned for a while, and he was also enlightened: I think it was too cold tonight, and I was frozen to death!
After thinking about it, Zhao Heng bowed to the body sitting on the couch, turned around and walked towards the door. I wanted to lift the door, but I found that my arm was still brushing over the door like a phantom, so I slammed the door directly, and sure enough, I came to the outside of the house as if through the curtain.
At this time, the outside of the house was also deserted, but he saw that there were two clusters of bright light shining in the corner of the courtyard, and he looked at it, but he saw a white tiger with white eyes and white forehead, and a bear with a fat body and gilded armor, so he lay prone in the beast pen in the corner of the courtyard, and saw that the two beasts were shining with brilliant light, which naturally surprised Zhao Heng.
It's just that the two beasts seem to be taking a nap, and they haven't noticed Zhao Heng's soul at all.
Zhao Heng took a look, then walked out of the small courtyard, and what he was thinking about in his heart was to return to the East Palace, to see the nurse, as well as the crown princess Zhu Lian'er, and his son Zhao Chen, who was only one year old, so he also stumbled through the wall and walked out of the Qingyun Temple, but after coming out, he couldn't tell the direction, and he happened to see that there was a brightly lit place in the sky, so he also went over.
Got closer, it turned out to be the tile market in front of the Royal Boxing Gym, Zhao Heng also roughly knew the direction, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly didn't know where a cold chain flew from, so he wrapped it around his neck, and suddenly felt that he flew lightly, and soon landed in front of a gambling stall, only to see two public men in public uniforms standing in the crowd, one of them was pulling the chain in his hand, and he listened to the public who pulled the chain: "Haha!" Li Shi sent it, and tonight to do this drudgery of detaining people, even bumped into a wandering spirit, and there will definitely be a reward for going back. ”
In addition, the duke was also smiling, and he took two steps to sniff beside Zhao Heng and said: "The anger is still strong, it should have just died, I'm afraid it's a frozen ghost, Lishi!" Lee! ”
Zhao Heng was originally chained around his neck, and he wanted to struggle out, but after listening to the two of them, he also understood that these two people were ghosts who specialized in detaining the souls of the dead, and he was immediately relieved in his heart, so he stopped struggling.
At this time, he heard the ghost with the chain say, "The hour has come!" ”
Immediately, the two of them took Zhao Heng and walked a few steps, and when they entered the gambling stall, they saw dozens of men around a case, a middle-aged man wearing coarse cloth was shaking a bowl in his hand, and he read "Hunchun" loudly in his mouth, and then he saw him pour the bowl on the case, and saw more than a dozen copper coins scattered out and fell on the case.
At this time, Zhao Heng clearly saw that the two ghosts reached out and pointed at the case, and drank a "hold" in their mouths.
Then I saw that the copper coins that were jumping on the case quickly fell down, all of them were facing up, but there were still three copper coins dripping and spinning on the case, but they also fell down soon, and they were all back up, and suddenly the entire gambling stall was silent, and everyone stared at the copper coins on the case with wide eyes.
For more than ten breaths, the people in the gambling stall were dumbfounded, including Zhao Heng himself, who was holding his breath, and finally someone shouted: "Eighteen pure!" Eighteen pure! ”
Suddenly, the people in the gambling stall shouted in unison, the so-called "eighteen pure", that is, with eighteen copper coins to throw gambling, the front of the copper coin is said to be in front of the curtain, the back is pure, to agree on the front or back to make a bet, the more the gambling side is up, the greater the odds, just like playing dice out of the leopard.
And these eighteen pure ones, that is, the eighteen copper coins that were gambled on the back, actually asked him to vote for the eighteen on the back.
However, just as everyone was cheering, Zhao Heng saw that the middle-aged man's flushed face suddenly turned pale, and then he stretched out his hand to cover his chest, his face was painful, but at this moment, he heard the ghost holding the chain next to him laugh and said, "It's okay!" Pour also! ”
Sure enough, with the words of the ghost, the middle-aged man also weakened and fell backwards to the ground, and another empty-handed ghost also took out a chain and put it on the middle-aged man's body, and then pulled out a figure, which looked like the man, who was also chained around his neck, and was pulled over lightly.
Listening to the ghost who detained him, he laughed and said, "Tian San'er, your time has come!" Died because of a pure shop, can you be satisfied? ”
Tian San'er was stunned when he heard it, and couldn't help but look back, but found that the gambling stall had been fried at this time, and the gamblers naturally found that Tian San'er's body was out of breath, and they all scattered as birds and beasts.
So he saw that Tian San'er reluctantly looked at the eighteen pure on the case, so he also looked back and nodded with the ghost. Immediately, two ghosts, one locked the other, and they got out of the gambling stall and went to the road, and the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they came to a temple.
Zhao Heng looked up, but also recognized that this was the City God Spirit Guardian Temple in Tokyo City, and when he entered the temple, he saw a horse-headed person sitting in a copywriting in the hall, wearing the uniform of the Great Song General, and heard a ghost say: "General Ma Chun, that Tian Guangtian San'er has been detained according to the order!" ”
Another ghost also said: "I also detained a wandering spirit on the way, did you escort it down together?" ”
General Ma Chun also replied angrily: "Who called General Niu was injured a few days ago, and I asked Lao Ma to do many of these documents, and the two of you quickly drew their names and sent them to the Ghost Gate." They all complained about the damn cold, and there were more than a dozen people to be detained in the second half of the night. ”
The two ghosts also agreed, and then escorted the two to another empty case in the hall, first asked Tian San'er to record his name in a book, Zhao Heng saw him write the word "Tian Guang" obliquely, and then the ghost sent the pen to Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng thought about it and wrote "Zhao Yan".
This Zhao Heng's original name was Zhao Xuan, and later changed to Zhao Xuan, and now the name Zhao Heng has not been used for a few years, so he naturally wrote his real name.
After writing the name, the ghost cha put the roster with General Na Ma Chun, and when he saw that he was on the roster, he nodded with the two ghosts, and then the two of them each grabbed Tian Guang and Zhao Heng, and after stamping their feet together, they suddenly went to the ground.
When Zhao Heng opened his eyes again, he found that he had come to a huge pass, and when he looked up at the Shangcheng sign, he suddenly wrote the word "Ghost Gate".
It was only said that the two ghosts took Zhao Heng and Tian Guang to the closed door in a blink of an eye, only to see dozens of ghosts parked in front of the door who were pulling chains and holding their souls, and after they met, they also greeted them, and heard a ghost cha laugh and scolded: "You two are good, you have a good errand, I will be bitter when I wait, tonight is cold, I don't know how many ghosts will freeze to death in the world, and the frozen ghosts are the most unwilling to leave the soul, bitter!" Bitter also! ”
The ghost who detained Zhao Heng and Tian Guang also smiled and played haha with the other ghosts, while lining up with the two. Later, after Zhao Heng and Na Tian Guang recorded their names with the ghost guards of the pass again, they also collected the chains, and pushed the person through the pass with a gentle push.
The two of them shook their bodies, and they landed on a road about a foot wide, paved with bluestone slabs, Zhao Heng and Tian Guang both looked back invariably after landing, but saw that the dense fog was filled, and they couldn't see the appearance of the ghost gate, and then looked up and looked around, but it was the dark clouds covering the sky, and only a little light between the sky and the earth spilled down through the gaps in the dark clouds, and the bluestone road also led straight into the distance, as if there was no end in sight.
"Come to think of it, this is Huangquan Road?" Zhao Heng looked at the road ahead, and couldn't help asking, but Tian Guang smiled and said, "It should be Huangquan Road!" Although you and I didn't know each other before we were alive, now we can pass through the ghost gate together, which should also be regarded as fate, why don't we walk Huangquan Road together, how about it? ”
Zhao Heng also thought it was funny, so he also shook his sleeves, and saluted with Na Tian Guang: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" Xiaosheng Zhao Kang, willing to walk with Brother Tian! ”
