353 The underworld came
Cao Zhe listened to my excuse, and sure enough, he did not doubt him, perhaps thinking that such a reason was enough to make me so mysterious. He nodded and said, "Then do you want to help you convey it now?" ”
I quickly shook my head, "Not good! You also know that Liu Han has a bad temper, and she doesn't want too many people to know about it, so you go directly to her and say it, doesn't it show that I leaked my secret? ”
"Well, that's right. So how do you want me to help you? ”
"I think it's better for me to go directly to her while she's on duty."
"She's on duty at Numen today, why don't you go directly to Zemen to find her?"
"Uh......" I thought about it, but still shook my head, "There are too many people coming in and out of Numen, and there are many eyes and ears, so it's better to wait for her to wait for her to take her turn to go to Zuoshi." As you know, I'm living on the edge of Zuo City right now. ”
"Left City? Let me think about it......" Cao Zhe folded his fingers and calculated, and finally told me: "When Shen Shi arrives in Hai tomorrow night, she should take turns in the area of Zuo City." ”
"When Shen arrives? So she's off work when she's a child? ”
"That's right!"
I immediately became happy, patted Cao Zhe on the shoulder and said, "You have helped a lot this time, I owe you a drink, and I will invite you when my hands are ready!" ”
"Busy? Aren't you just giving her a bounty, what kind of good thing is it? Cao Zhe was stunned, and couldn't understand why I was so excited.
"Don't say anything, let's go!"
After saying goodbye to Cao Zhe, my mood immediately relaxed. No matter what the Teng family and the Qiu family plan, at least I won't just give up. Besides, hehe, I still have a plan to secretly display my position!
The next night, I found a long red ribbon and tied it to the eaves at the entrance of the nursing home, ensuring that as long as Liu Han passed by, he would definitely be able to see it.
In addition, I have done a lot of preparation. The most important thing is to buy a large bath, boil hot water, prepare clean towels, and prepare some wine and snacks. I put on my injured right hand with waterproof gloves and tied it tightly with a towel.
"Hey, it's okay to fight for ten rounds tonight!" I thought triumphantly.
The anxious wait was long, but thankfully it didn't disappoint me. As soon as the hour passed, someone knocked on the door!
I couldn't wait for her to knock a second time, so I pulled the door open. It was Liu Han who was standing outside. She was stunned for a moment, probably unaware that I had been waiting behind the door.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Liu Han asked.
"I was injured when I went into the dead to explore, and I almost didn't scrap it!" I replied with a grin, as if discussing someone else's hand.
"Would you really like it to be scrapped?" Liu Han gave me a blank look, and then entered the house, "No wonder I haven't seen you recently." ”
"You've been looking for me all this time?"
"Nope!"
Liu Han flatly denied it. But I could still see something unnatural in her expression, but I just snickered and didn't want to tear her down.
At this time, Liu Han finally saw the big bathtub and the things that should be prepared. She turned to me and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"It's not interesting." I pretended to be casual, "I was just going to take a shower, why don't you please first?" ”
Liu Han finally smiled and asked rhetorically, "Is there a charge?" ”
"No charge!"
"Are there any special services?"
"Yes!" I laughed and said, "You're satisfied!" And it is guaranteed to only serve, not nonsense! ”
"Well, you're still quite likable when you're not your mother-in-law!" Liu Han nodded, threw away his helmet, and said with a smile: "Such a big bathtub, why don't you go together?" ”
I was overjoyed, so I quickly got rid of myself first, and then went to help Liu Han untie his armor, and finally put it into the basin together. What followed was unspeakable because of the scale......
However, I always have to suffer a bit when my arm is injured, so there is a lot less fierce confrontation between the two than the first time, and she is basically in the lead. I've thrown my useless machismo out of the clouds, so I'll just enjoy the fun of fish and water!
After this release, Liu Han became more active. She worked every three days, so she came to me every three days. I also abide by the tacit agreement between the two, never mention the relationship problem again, just take what they need and go to Wushan together. Of course, there is no need for any protective measures in this process, men will affect their fertility after practicing Yin Gong, and women will not be able to have children after they also practice Yin Gong.
But such ecstasy days only lasted for more than half a month, but because of a very unusual event, it brought huge variables: Cui Yu, the head of the underworld, personally visited Zuoqiu City!
As mentioned before, Zuoqiu City is only nominally subordinate to the underworld, but in fact it is an independent underworld. However, according to the agreement between Zuoqiu City and the Difu, Zuoqiu City has to pay a large amount of Yin Yuan and many treasures to the Difu every year. Of course, the exact amount of tribute is only known to the upper echelons, and it seems that it is not fixed every year.
Ever since I arrived in Zuoqiu City, I have also seen several visits from the underworld. Although those Qincha's official positions in the underworld are not high, after all, they represent the image of the king of Yama, and Zuoqiu City has never dared to slack off, and every time he sends someone to the lower gate in advance to greet him. When it was time to leave, Difu Qincha always took away a few large boxes of Yin Yuan, treasures and many local specialties with satisfaction every time.
But this time, the specifications of the Qincha sent by the underworld are rare and extremely high, and it is actually Cui Yu, the chief bookkeeper. You must know that Cui Yu is nominally the fifth person in the official position of the underworld, but in terms of real power, he is recognized as the second person second only to the king of Yama!
In the palace of the Son of Heaven in the underworld, there are four divisions: the Division of Rewarding the Good, the Division of Punishing the Evil, the Division of Investigation and the Division of Yin Law. According to what a person has done during his lifetime, he is responsible for rewarding the good, punishing the wicked, or taking charge of the laws of life and death, as well as overt and covertly supervising and supervising the law. These four divisions are led by the four major judges under the throne of Hades, namely: Wei Zheng, the Reward for Good, Zhong Kui, the Punishment for Evil, Lu Zhidao, and Cui Jue, the Yin Law Division.
If it is arranged in this order, Cui Yu will indeed succumb to Wei Zheng, Zhong Kui and Lu Zhidao, ranking at the end of the four divisions, and sitting in the fifth place in the underworld. However, because the Yin Law Department under his charge is responsible for issuing various prefectural documents, it has the largest "administrative power". Especially the most important point: Cui Yu has the book of life and death in his hand!
Upon learning of the visit of the master of the underworld, the people of Zuoqiu City were surprised, and at the same time, they were all aroused, and they flocked to the lower gate and both sides of the main road to watch. I was idle at home because I was recuperating from my injuries, so I also ran to join in the fun.
Cui Yu, as the judge and chief bookkeeper of the Yin Law Department of the Difu, is really full of style. At the front of the way were twenty-five knights riding Cerberus, all dressed in dark iron armor, with their heads held high and extremely proud. This is Cui Yu's close guard, who only obeys his orders.
The guards were followed by twenty-five men in top hats. They are either holding shackles, or holding killing sticks, and some are holding honor guards and flags, which are the big and small officials of the Yin Law Division, and they are Cui Yu's direct subordinates.
As for why the number of guards and yin is twenty-five, we have to start with the number of extreme yin and extreme yang. Ninety-nine eighty-one is the extreme yang, and seventy-seven and forty-nine is the extreme yin, and the emperor of the yang world likes to use the number eighty-one. In the underworld, the highest status is naturally the king of Yama, and only when the king of Yama travels dares to use the highest standard of honor guards, such as seven seven and forty-nine, and the judges below him can only use the number of five or twenty-five.
At the center of the group was a giant turtle. The turtle is a giant turtle, but this giant turtle is really big, like a giant elephant, but with shorter legs and feet. The giant turtle has horns on its head, its mouth is as big as a door, the tortoiseshell on its back is flattened, and it carries a graceful and luxurious car, with a brocade curtain hanging in front and a canopy on it.
Cui Yu, the main bookkeeper, should be sitting in the car, but the curtain has been hanging down, and we, the city's citizens who welcome him, have no chance to see his true face.
The giant turtle was followed by dozens of large snails, which were supposed to be used to carry goods. However, their backs are empty at this time, and it is estimated that they will be filled with tribute by the time they leave. At the end of the procession, at the back of the hall were twenty-five Cerberus Guards, who were responsible for keeping the mission safe.
After such a mighty group of underworld envoys entered the city, they went all the way through the lower gate directly into the upper city, and we, the citizens who followed and watched the excitement, could only stop here. A notice has been posted outside the door, and the upper city is closed today, and only distinguished guests from the prefecture are accepted.
However, the curious crowd and the group of ghosts gathered outside the door for a while, so the city guard came to drive them away. I was about to go back after watching the excitement, when I suddenly heard someone calling me. I turned my head and saw that it was Cao Zhe, who happened to be on duty today.
"How's your hand?" He asked.
I raised my right hand to show him and said, "It's almost okay, it's ready to lift heavy objects, but the new skin hasn't grown yet." ”
The strap on my right hand had been removed, the scabs were starting to fall off, and new skin was growing. But at first glance, the red and black are actually quite ugly.
Cao Zhe asked me with a smile: "Since your hand is good, what about the wine you said you owed me last time?" When are you going to pay it back? ”
I wondered, "Isn't the city closed today, how can I go in and drink?" ”
"Hey!" Cao Zhe disagreed, and whispered: "Do you think the master book of the underworld is very idle?" This time, they said that they would stay for a day and leave early tomorrow morning. Hey, I just won't be on duty tomorrow night, so let's go to the Lotus Bar for a drink! ”
"Have you had anything good lately? Smiling! "I think Cao Zhe's performance today seems to be a bit abnormal.
"Well, there must be good things! You'll talk about it tomorrow night! Cao Zhe replied with a smile.
I hadn't smelled alcohol for a long time, so I readily agreed: "No problem!" See you tomorrow night! ”
