Underworld.

After a good night's sleep, I was in good spirits.

The orange cat was lying in my arms, and the sound of even breathing was warm, and I felt that I was moving, and the cat's eyes slowly opened as if they were half asleep and half awake.

"Ye Dingxi, are you awake too?"

I looked at him with a big smile.

The orange cat got up, hunched over, yawned widely, and meowed.

After getting along for a long time, I feel more and more pleasing to the eye when I look at it, and the chubby figure is also very cute.

I stretched out my claws to pet the cat, and after a long meal, I was refreshed.

As soon as I got up after tidying up my clothes, there was a greeting from outside the courtyard gate.

"Old girl, but are you up?"

Meng Po?

I brushed the cat fur off my shirt and walked out the door.

"Sister, why are you here?"

When Meng Po saw me, she looked a little anxious and said, "Has your cat come back?"

It turned out that when I left the underworld, the orange cat quietly slipped away from Meng Po and followed me to the world.

I smiled and pointed to the bottom of the porch.

"Well, this guy has a wild temperament, even I can't control it, my sister is tired. ”

When Meng Po saw the orange cat, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ouch, this cub is numb, but it makes me anxious, just come back, just come back......"

I saw her smiling appearance, and my heart warmed.

Meng Po sat down on the stone bench in my courtyard and chatted, talking about the trial in the Yama Hall yesterday, and I asked, "How are Hu Ran and Chen Hui?"

"You say that those two are really talented and beautiful, but it's a pity that the girl has become a resentful spirit, even if she is reincarnated, she can't be better, and she will have to suffer some grievances in the next life!"

I sighed in my heart, thinking that I still have to go to Lao Cui again for the past two days, he has always been hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he is very coaxing.

Bidding farewell to Meng Po, I told Ye Dingxi to keep his home honestly, and then went to the Tongzhu Hell alone.

This place had just been expanded a while ago, and many places had not yet been perfected, and the mountains of earth were mixed with huge red copper pillars, and dust and sand were flying all over the sky, and the rumbling sound of digging and digging pits was mixed with those terrible wails, which only felt creepy to hear.

I followed a deputy prison officer as I walked along, occasionally glancing at the tortured ghosts passing by to the left and right, all of them bound to copper pillars with large iron chains the thickness of their arms, and some of them were piled with endless firewood, baking in all directions, front and back, up and down.

Others were tied up with five flowers, and let the ghosts swing whips at them, and the dark red flames and thunder and lightning were mixed, and the ghosts screamed endlessly.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck, not daring to look again.

On the side, the deputy prison officer knew me, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be afraid, this burning trip is already the lightest punishment in the Bronze Pillar Hell, and it will not cause much damage to the ghost qi, and you will be able to recover after being tortured and go back to recuperate for a while." ”

I couldn't help but nod my head: "Thanksgiving." ”

After a while, we came to a relatively remote copper pillar.

It seems that this place has just been opened up, and there are many piles of mud and sand around it, and the red flames and flames like pouring into the copper pillars are surging, and the red light is soaring into the sky.

"Auntie, please, the fire will be burned for a quarter of an hour, and my aunt must be tied to this bronze pillar, and she may have to endure some hardships, please be patient......"

The deputy jailer officer was respectfully guided.

My throat rolled slightly, and I pretended to be calm and followed, and before I could get under the bronze pillar, I felt a burning pain all over my body.

But I don't know...... When the iron chain tied me up, the real pain was called tearing my heart and bones.

Half an hour later.

"Auntie...... Can your subordinates help you go back?"

The deputy jailer sent me to the gates of the Bronze Pillar Hell, looking at me with a worried expression.

I waved my hand and said forcefully, "It's okay, I still have to go to Master Cui to talk about something, you can go and get busy." ”

When the deputy jailer turned around and walked away, I sat down on the stone steps under the porch as if I had not supported it.

It hurts, it hurts......

In the six hundred years of wandering in the underworld, I have seen the severity of the seventeen hell punishments, but I have never suffered them myself, and now I feel like ten thousand swords piercing my body after burning on the bronze pillar for a quarter of an hour, and my body full of ghost bones seems to have been incinerated and reshaped a thousand times.

To be born as a human being, you must be kind......

When I finally got the strength to move, I was about to get up and move to Lao Cui's residence, but suddenly found that the guy was standing not far away, looking at me strangely.

"Hey, what a coincidence!" I said in a pretended light-hearted hello.

Lao Cui came over and looked me up and down before saying, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, it's so ugly!"

“......”

I instantly lowered my face and said unhappily: "It's all here, and you don't know how to help me." ”

Lao Cui snorted coldly, but his arm was honestly handed over, and I asked him to help him get up.

"What are you looking for from me?"

I was stunned, opened my mouth and asked, "How long have you been waiting here?"

Lao Cui stared at me and said, "Since you went in to be tortured, the sound of your screams has spread all over half of the underworld!"

Yes?

I smiled inwardly.

On the way back, I talked to him about Hu Ran's transformation into a resentful spirit, and asked about the fate of this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks in the future.

I didn't expect Lao Cui to tell me the contents of the book of life and death, but I was relieved to reveal a little.

"What will happen to their next life, can you change it if you worry about it? If you have this mind to take care of yourself first, don't you have any points in your heart for this punishment?"

Lao Cui taught me a lesson with a straight face.

If he had disciplined me like this in the past, I would have to find a way to slip away, but today I have to give in to him if I ask for it, and besides, I can't leave if I want to.

Lao Cui saw that I didn't speak, and waited for a while before asking about the night of the Midyear Festival.

I picked up some key points and told him, only to hear him say: "You said that the magic weapon in the hand of that old man Luo can restrain you and Hu Ran?"

"yes......"

I nodded and said, "That old man is over eighty years old, and he can run faster than ordinary young men, and it seems that there is no problem in living for another hundred years.

At this time, I complained in detail, but Lao Cui didn't seem to care, thinking about something with his head stuffy, and when the two of us entered his yard, I saw the two brothers of black and white impermanence waiting under the porch.

"Auntie!"

Xiaobai pounced up, his eyes were full of tears and he hugged me, "You have suffered aunt......"

"Well, my aunt didn't hurt you in vain on weekdays......"

I endured the pain, gritted my teeth and raised my hand, touching his hair.

On the side, Xiao Heitou didn't give me a face because I touched Xiao Bai, but looked at me intentionally or unintentionally.

That stuffy gourd has always been weird, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

When we entered the room and sat down, I saw Lao Cui bring me a bowl of soup that seemed to have been boiled a long time ago.

"Drink. ”

I craned my neck to take a look, and the pitch-black liquid smelled so bad that it was disgusting.

"Don't. "I decisively refused.
