When he stood in front of the door, he heard Zhen Yilian's voice faintly.

"Lord Cui, have you ever wondered why I gave birth to a wandering god day and night, and committed the taboo of the underworld again, but Lord Zhong is willing to spare me easily, and try to ensure the naturalization of my second son?"

Cui Jue turned his head sharply, and two cold fires suddenly surged in his eyes.

"Zhen Yilian, what do you want to say?"

Cui Jue was furious, and his voice was like thunder.

On the opposite side, the graceful figure, the dress fluttered with the southwest wind, like a weak willow branch, she lowered her eyes, only the corners of her mouth slowly floated a trace of miserable arc.

"It's just that there are some secrets, I don't want to hide them anymore, I look at the east, it's like looking at myself back then, if I can be a little braver back then, maybe everything will be different"

She lifted her eyes slowly, and some kind of mist floated.

"Master Cui, if you are willing to listen to me tell a story, you can come to the temple at any time, and I will wait for you with a cup of tea. ”

After saying that, she didn't look back and left.

Cui Jue stood in place, pondering for a long time before slowly turning around and walking into the house.

Outside the courtyard gate.

Zhen Yilian's footsteps were vain, and she stumbled and held on to the fence before she could barely stand firm.

Her face was pale, a thin layer of cold sweat spread between her forehead, and the gray and white of her sideburns turned silvery, as if she had aged for decades in an instant.

"I'm only going to help you get here. ”

She slowly turned her gaze to look at the empty courtyard.

Inside the house, next to the bed.

Cui Jue sat on the stool and looked at the unconscious figure.

The originally thin ghost qi between the eyebrows finally showed signs of improvement today, although it was not as good as usual, but if it recovered at this rate, it would be better to recuperate for a while.

In fact, in the past two days, Cui Jue has already thought about the disposal of leaning eastward.

When she wakes up, the ghost qi recovers, and then she is imprisoned in the Infernal Hell, leaving her to find another opportunity in the next day, and use the merits she has accumulated to return her freedom.

Right now, the underworld is alternating between the old and the new Yan Jun, it is chaos, it is better to lean eastward than among the authorities, and when everything settles, it is not too late for her to come out.

Cui Jue is also selfish in such an idea.

Last year, when he sent Dongtian to the Infernal Hell to be tortured, he once asked her who the soul of the living attached to the cat's body was, but she avoided answering, and although she didn't care about the person, how could she hide it?

If she weren't ruthless, how could she ask for a guilty sentence for that person?

If it wasn't unintentional, how could he hide his identity and name from himself?

She must have true feelings for the living, maybe just like Zhen Yilian back then, a moth to a fire, incorrigible, and in love with a mortal.

People and ghosts have different paths.

Leaning eastward, even if she is a nameless ghost in the underworld, she should understand that there is no good end to falling in love with someone, she must give up this relationship, and if she can't do it, he will help her.

"You, always give me trouble!"

There was no one around, and Cui Jue's face showed a rare gentle smile.

"Back then, I rescued you and sent you to Lao Yanjun, but I didn't let you challenge the taboo of the underworld again and again. In the last Midyear Festival, you took the initiative to help mortals, and scared Liang Wenjie to death with black and white impermanence, which planted a new karmic debt, whether it is the present life newspaper or the next life report, after all, you can't escape, and I can only try my best to protect you and their brothers. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyelids of the figure on the bed suddenly moved, and then slowly opened.

"Finally woke up!" Cui Jue smiled.

Xiao Leaning looked at him and asked in wonder, "Old Cui, why are you here?"

Yama Temple.

Backyard.

After another year of winter, Lao Yanjun's health deteriorated, and now he basically divides the power in his hands equally between Cui Zhong's two subordinates, and he rarely leaves the backyard except for raising flowers and grass.

It's just that even if he doesn't go out, he can't escape a problem that he has to face.

Who will be the successor of the next Yan Jun?

Yan Jun squatted on the edge of the flower bed, looking at the small white flowers that were blooming just right for a while, and then at the small red flowers that were still flower bones, as if he was choosing something, his expression was very entangled.

When Cui Jue came in, Yan Jun was unaware, and he could only cough lightly.

"Ahem. ”

Old Yan Jun turned around, squinted at the past, and said with a smile: "Old Cui is here." ”

is not on the Yama Palace, he has never called Lao Cui and Lao Zhong.

"Yan Jun. ”

Cui Jue arched his hand and reported: "That girl is awake." ”

Yan Jun laughed, "Okay, great! How is she? But what's uncomfortable?"

"Nope. Cui Jue replied: "It's just that I'm still a little weak, I don't like to talk, and after a few words with me, I said that I was going to rest, and about breaking out of the Infernal Hell, and the dog's subordinates didn't have time to ask clearly." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

Yan Jun waved his hand, holding his knees and slowly stood up: "Let's ask in two days, there are no moths anyway, a dog should be a tortured demon beast, you send black and white impermanence to the world to find it back." ”

Cui Jue was silent, and thought for a moment before he spoke: "Yan Jun, his subordinates are guilty!"

Belch?!

"What's the crime?" Yan Jun was surprised.

"This time I leaned east to escape from the Infernal Hell, and another ghost was lost, it was Liang Wenjie, a criminal arrested on the Midyear Festival last year. ”

This name sounded unfamiliar, Yan Jun thought for a moment before he said, "Is that the person who abused and killed small animals and made Nilu angry?"

"Yes. Cui Jue replied.

"Did you catch him?" Yan Jun had a hint of solemnity on his face.

Cui Jue shook his head, "No, my subordinates have arranged for black and white impermanence to go to the world to search and arrest, and if you resist, you can correct the law on the spot." ”

"Old Cui"

Yan Jun sighed, his eyes unconsciously looked at the little white flower in the flower bed, "You came to tell me about this at this moment, do you know what the consequences are?"

"The subordinate is guilty. ”

Cui Jue arched his hand again, his cheeks tightened, and then he said: "The matter of the new Yan Jun, I hope that Yan Jun will take this as a consideration and pass it on to Lord Zhong." ”

"You"

Yan Jun turned around, "This is your decision?"

"Yes. ”

Cui Jue's face was resolute, "The subordinates only ask for Yan Jun, and the subordinates have been loyal to their duties over the years, and they can open up to the east!"

Yan Jun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he was stunned.

"You use one step to retreat, in exchange for that girl's stability, but is it worth it? If you let go at this moment, maybe this underworld will be in power, and it will fall into your hands, a generation of Yan Jun, just like the ancient emperors of the world, control the 100,000 ghost messengers of the underworld, judge the reincarnation of life and death in the Six Realms, and the status is transcendent, you will not regret it?"

"Subordinates don't regret it"

Cui Jue's expression was calm.

"Go down. ”

Yan Jun turned around, waved his hand and said, "I understand what you mean, the punishment of that girl in the east, Benjun has his own considerations, as for Liang Wenjie and that dog, you must find it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Cui Jue exited the backyard and walked all the way to the gate of the Yama Hall before stopping.

He looked back at the majestic and solemn Black Rock Hall, and an indescribable light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
