Chapter 180: Juerdan, the city of death
Human nature is inherently good,
It's still human nature.
This kind of problem, even Su Mo can't say it well.
And these two ghosts and gods were really full and actually quarreled over this issue, but Su Mo came this time to ask for help, so he had to say helplessly: "Amitabha, my Buddha pays attention to compassion, so the poor monk is willing to believe in the inherent goodness of human nature."
However, this answer is only the answer in the heart of the poor monk, and it is difficult to say whether it is accurate or not, but the poor monk once heard a great man say that practice produces the truth, and if you want to know whether human nature is evil or good, the two judges might as well test it! ”
"How?"
Judge Situ seemed to be interested in this issue.
Even Lu Juan next to him asked anxiously: "Yes, how do you want to test, you should say it quickly, you monks like to grind, you can't get in, you can't get out, it makes people feel very uncomfortable, do you know?" ”
Su Mo looked at Lu Juan a little speechlessly.
I suspect you're driving, unfortunately there's no evidence.
However, in the face of the inquiries of the two judges, Su Mo naturally replied: "Both of you are ghosts and gods, isn't it easy to make a stupid person enlighten?" As long as you make a fool smarter, don't you know if the other person has become bad when the time comes? ”
Hearing this, Judge Lu and Judge Situ both had their eyes lit up.
That's a good idea.
And isn't it very high for these ghosts and gods, Lu Juan was overjoyed and said: "This is simple, only by replacing a fool with a smart heart, then the other party will become smarter, this is not difficult for me at all, it's just a matter of choosing this person......"
Speaking of this, Lu Juan was a little embarrassed.
Judge Situ stroked his beard and replied lightly: "This candidate is indeed a problem, neither can he be a big traitor, nor can he be too kind, it is best to be the kind of fool who is mixed with good and bad, so that it is easy to compare, but unfortunately such a candidate is really difficult to find." ”
Seeing that the two of them were helpless again, Judge Lu and Judge Situ subconsciously looked towards Su Mo.
"Master, I don't know if you have any people to recommend?"
Judge Situ asked kindly.
After hearing this, Su Mo's face also fell into contemplation, he had not been in this world for a long time, and he had just walked the world from Jinshan Temple, and he had not seen many mortals at all, but soon he thought of one thing.
Just when he was grabbing incense outside the Temple of the Ten Kings, he happened to hear the ugly-faced woman making a wish to make her husband wiser, which shows that the other party's husband is definitely not very smart.
"I have a candidate, just now in your temple there is a woman snatched the incense, her husband seems to be a fool, it just so happens that her wish is to hope that her husband will become smarter, and you need an experimental material, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" Su Mo said slowly.
As a judge in the Temple of the Ten Kings.
Judge Lu and Judge Situ naturally knew everything about the things in Hangzhou City, and soon Judge Lu waved his hand, and a book appeared in his hand, which was a book of life and death, but this is not a real book of life and death, and the genuine version is still in charge of the king of the underworld, and a small judge like them is not qualified to have it.
However, the judge had a copy of the book of life and death.
The ability of this copy is limited, and it can only check the life and death of the local people, which means that the book of life and death in Lu Juan's hand can only be used in Hangzhou City, and it will lose its effect after leaving this boundary, and soon Lu Juan held the book of life and death, and found the name of the ugly woman at will.
"Ke Shaorong, life expectancy twenty-four, Hangzhou city ......"
Lu Juan found the woman who burned the incense, but was quickly stunned: "I can only live to be twenty-four years old...... Wait, isn't that going to die next year? What a pathetic! ”
Although Lu Juan sympathized with Ke Shaorong, he was not prepared to help.
Human lifespan is predestined by God.
If you have accumulated good deeds in your past life, then you may have a long life in this life.
This is all cause and effect, and it is against heaven to help people change their lives without authorization, especially for ghosts and gods like them.
After turning to Ke Shaorong's information, Lu Juan quickly found the other party's information about his father-in-law.
"This Ke Shaorong's public name is Zhu Erdan, and he is a naturally stupid person, but this guy has a good life, and the book of life and death actually says that he can live to be eighty years old." Judge Lu sighed, as if he was reading these two people like a storybook, and then he raised his head and looked at Judge Situ and said, "This person already knows, but the actual situation is not very well understood, why don't we see what this Zhu Erdan's heart is?" ”
As a ghost god in the Temple of the Ten Kings, many people come here every day to burn incense and pray for prayers.
Naturally, this includes Zhu Erfang.
Lu Juan could re-display the picture of mortals praying to him, only to see that he pinched the trick in his hand, and immediately a light and shadow suddenly appeared from mid-air, like a screen on the water, and what was placed on it was the picture of Zhu Erdan coming to the Ten Kings Temple to burn incense before.
in the picture.
A stupid-looking man folded his hands and bowed to the statue of Lu Ju, and kept chanting: "Lu Yuanjun, Lu Yuanjun, I have always believed in you the most, so I have a small wish to ask you for help, can I not let my wife work too hard, she has to get up every day before dawn to grind tofu, and then go to the street to sell it, and also, my father has always hoped that I can become a talent, and then get famous, I really want to meet his old man's wish......"
This Zhu Erdan chattered for a long time in front of the statue of Lu Ju, until a girl also came over from the side.
When he saw this girl, Su Mo, who was originally watching a movie, suddenly stared, it turned out to be the woman Wang Xiaoman who had just met on the street, only to see her kneeling beside Zhu Erdan, and seemed to be praying like a statue, Zhu Erdan, who was still concentrating on making a wish, immediately straightened his eyes when he saw this woman, and he only felt that this girl looked so comfortable and pleasing to the eye, but because he was a fool, he didn't understand the relationship between beauty and ugliness.
Soon Wang Xiaoman made a wish and left.
But just as she was leaving, a hairpin suddenly fell.
Seeing this pearl hairpin, Zhu Erdan's eyes gradually took back from Wang Xiaoman, and then some chicken thieves looked around, and saw that no one next to him noticed here, only to see Zhu Erdan's hand quickly put the pearl hairpin into his arms, as if he had picked up money, he smiled and left quickly, and did not think about returning this pearl hairpin to the donor.
Originally, this matter should have been known by God and was very secretive.
It's a pity that it was recorded by Lu Ju.
"This Zhu Erdan is very concerned about his family, but he is greedy for money and lustful, but fortunately, this kind of person knows how to fear ghosts and gods, I think this kind of person just meets the mixed qualifications, it is better to determine him as a candidate!" Lu Juan opened his mouth and said, although Zhu Erdan has a lot of problems, but for the sake of his great respect for himself, this person is not hopeless.
Situ Yuanjun thought for a moment, then nodded.
But soon he had a problem.
"If you want to make a person smart, you need to replace him with a normal heart, I don't know what kind of heart Lu Yuanjun is going to put on him?" Situ Yuanjun stroked his beard, there are many types of this heart, such as ambition, if you change someone with an ambition, then the other party will become wolf ambition, and for example, Bigan is the kind of seven-trick exquisite heart, each heart has a different effect,
"Although this Zhu Erdan is a fool, he has great ambitions and wants to gain fame, and I am ready to find him a wise heart who can take the top exam and come back." Lu Juan thought about it, and saw that this kid was very respectful to himself on weekdays, and he gave himself incense every New Year's Day, so he raised the level of this heart a little bit.
"Isn't that okay?"
Situ Yuanjun hesitated a little, and said: "We just make a bet, we just need to make him smarter, how can we still manage the top prize who can't take the exam, this is inevitably too lenient, right?" ”
"Of course, change the best, otherwise why should I work so hard?"
Lu Juan had a different opinion, then took out the book of life and death and rummaged through it, and soon found a suitable object for changing his heart: "This Hong Xiucai is not bad, he is the teacher of the Zhuangyuan Literary Society, and he still has the fame of Xiucai, his heart must be good, and it is recorded in the book of life and death that although this person did not have much fault in his life, he did not accumulate virtue and liked to climb the power and be noble, and the most coincidental thing is that this Hong Xiucai's life will end tomorrow night." ”
Seeing this Hong Xiucai's information, Situ Yuanjun took a look at it and nodded: "Since this is the case, then choose him!" ”
Su Mo stood next to him, and saw that the two judges would say this kind of thing lightly, although he felt that it was a little inappropriate, but he didn't stop it, after all, he brought it up by him, not to mention that he was also kind enough to help people become smarter, anyway, that Hong Xiucai would also die, so it should be regarded as waste utilization and body donation.
If he can exchange his heart for another person to become wiser, it will be considered a happy situation.
After Judge Lu and Judge Situ finished discussing the matter, the two of them remembered Su Mo.
"By the way, master, did you come to our Ten Kings Temple for something?" Situ Yuanjun opened his mouth and asked, the so-called Three Treasures Hall is not allowed to go to the Three Treasures Hall if there is nothing to do, who will call the ghosts and gods out if there is nothing to do, isn't that an idle egg hurt.
Seeing that we finally got down to business.
Su Mo hurriedly said: "Amitabha, it's like this, the poor monk first came to Hangzhou City, and yesterday he temporarily lived in the Jiang Mansion in the west of the city, and met two female ghosts inside, these two female ghosts have a poor background, and they can't be reincarnated after death, so the poor monk wants to help them reincarnate, but there is no City God Temple in this Hangzhou city, do the two judges know what's going on?" ”
"I see!"
Situ Yuanjun nodded, and slowly explained: "In fact, a big demon came to Hangzhou City a few years ago, and as a result, the city god and the monster at that time had a big battle, and both of them fell, so until now there is no new city god born in Hangzhou City, but the master can rest assured, my Ten Kings Palace can go straight to the underworld, if the master wants to help people reincarnate, in fact, we can also help." ”
After learning that the city god of Hangzhou City had fallen, Su Mo suddenly realized.
No wonder I didn't find the existence of the City God Temple here.
However, after hearing that the two ghost judgments can also help people reincarnate, Su Mo said: "The two female ghosts I want to help, one is called Qiu Rong and the other is called Xiao Xie, I don't know if the two Yuanjun can help them reincarnate?" ”
Situ Yuanjun took out the book of life and death and rummaged through it for a while.
Soon frowned.
Seeing Situ Yuanjun's appearance, Su Mo asked with some surprise: "Yuanjun, could it be that this matter is very difficult?" ”
"It's not difficult, it's just that the two female ghosts in the master's mouth are people who died in vain, and it's a little difficult if you want to be reincarnated." Situ Yuanjun didn't play dumb riddles either, and said bluntly: "Now people in the cultivation world know that the immortals and Buddhas are hiding from the world, and even the Yama King and the Bodhisattva of the Dizang in the underworld rarely show up, so over the years, the underworld can be described as a group of demons dancing wildly, and all kinds of monsters and ghost kings are playing in the underworld, and occupying the mountain is the king."
Originally, the two of us judges were supposed to live in the underworld, but now the underworld is occupied by a group of monsters, and even we have nowhere to stay, so we temporarily live in the Temple of the Ten Kings. ”
"Now the vain death city of the underworld is occupied by a powerful monster, even the two of us can't get close, and the people who die in vain want to reincarnate must go to the dead city, otherwise it is impossible to reincarnate, in fact, most of the ghosts who are stranded in the world now are people who died in vain, we can take them in at most, but it is difficult to help them reincarnate, it's not that we don't care about the underworld, we really can't manage it, if the monsters who die normally are easy to do, the rest of us are really a little powerless."
The so-called city of vain death is dedicated to sheltering people who have died in vain.
Anyone who dies before the life expectancy in the book of life and death is considered to have died in vain, this kind of person is generally committed suicide, or many people who died unjustly, and the simple explanation is that the book of life and death stipulates that you can live to be sixty years old, and you died before that, then it is all counted as a vain death, of course, if the book of life and death says that you died today, but you are not dead, then the underworld will come to the door to take you away.
This is quite a kind of off-the-counter nature of the bank not being responsible.
If you withdraw more money, then it will be recovered by the bank, and if you withdraw less, then the bank will treat it as not knowing.
However, when Su Mo heard that Qiu Rong and Xiao Xie were people who died in vain, his face also changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there really no way for people who died in vain to be reincarnated?" ”
"There are only two ways for people who want to be reincarnated in vain, one is to go to the city of death, but it is occupied by monsters, if you really send the two girls over, I'm afraid it will be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and the second way is to help them wash away their grievances and let the truth be revealed, but we are ghosts and gods, and these people wash away their grievances is something that mortals do, and we can't do anything." Situ Yuanjun told the truth.
Faced with these two methods, Su Mo also fell into deep thought.
First of all, the first one is the most convenient and fast, but there are monsters in the city of vain death, unless there are masters who can enter the underworld, and then support Qiu Rong and Xiao Xie all the way to reincarnate, although Su Mo is very confident in his own strength, but he is not very familiar with the monsters in the city of vain death, and those who dare to occupy the mountain as the king in the underworld are definitely not idle people.
Without knowing the difference in strength between the enemy and us, it is not wise to suddenly break into the underworld.
As for helping Xiao Xie and Qiu Rong wash away their grievances, it is not difficult to use their own means.
It's a pity that I have been with them for too short, and I didn't know what grievances they had last night, so it seems that I have to go back and ask them clearly.
After finding a way to help Qiu Rong and them reincarnate, Su Mo planned to leave, and saluted in his mouth: "Thank you for the help of the two Yuanjun, the poor monk will first help those two female ghosts wash away their grievances, and when the time comes, I will personally send them here to reincarnate." ”
"Master, don't worry, the two of us will always be waiting for you at the Ten Kings Temple."
Situ Yuanjun and Lu Juan looked at each other, and the two of them were very polite to Su Mo, and replied with a smile in their mouths.
Farewell to the two judges.
Su Mo walked out of the Ten Kings Temple, and when he saw that it was still early, he remembered that the main purpose of his coming to Hangzhou City was to find the green snake and the white snake.
"It's a pity that I let them go yesterday and didn't ask where those two snake demons live." Su Mo sighed, but he didn't have no choice, as long as he found Xu Xian, he would naturally be able to meet the White Lady.
According to the plot in the movie.
Xu Xian appears to be teaching at a private school in Hangzhou.
After knowing this clue, Su Mo began to ask people everywhere.
There are not many private schools in Hangzhou, after all, only a few people have read books in recent years, so just a little inquire, he knows that there are three or four private schools in Hangzhou, and the most famous of them is the Zhuangyuan Literary Society.
It is said that Hong Xiucai, the main teacher of the Zhuangyuan Literary Society, was the teacher of the previous champion, so he opened a literary club in Hangzhou to collect those scholars who were preparing to take the meritorious examination.
When he heard the name of this private school, Su Mo was stunned for a moment.
Just now, he seemed to have heard Lu Juan and Situ Yuanjun mention Hong Xiucai of this Champion Book Society, and Lu Juan was going to use this Hong Xiucai's coma to replace Zhu Erdan, it seems that this Hong Xiucai will not live long.
Come to think of it.
Su Mo was going to try his luck at the Zhuangyuan Literary Society first to see if he could find Xu Xian.
Anyway, there are only a few book clubs in Hangzhou City, and you can find people after looking for them all.
