Chapter 27: The Judge
Although Li Ergou is not an onmyoji, he also knows that the judge is subordinate to the city god and is a high-ranking official in the underworld, and there are civil and military judges.
Their duty is to sentence people to reincarnation and death, punish the bad guys, and reward the good guys.
It's just that what puzzles Li Ergou is, how did the second grandfather become a judge in the underworld?
"Fat man, should we go up and have a look?" Li Ergou asked.
It was so bizarre to see that scene just now, until now, Li Ergou still can't come back to his senses.
"Brother Ergou, I think it's better to forget it!"
The fat man shook his head, then stood up and said, "Since he is a judge of the underworld, it doesn't make much sense for us to follow, not to mention that he is still a member of the city god. ”
This made Li Ergou a little surprised, according to the fat man's character, he would be indifferent to this matter.
Or is there another secret to the second grandfather's affairs, but the fat man doesn't want to say more?
"Fat man, do you think the second grandfather is a living person or a dead person?" Li Ergou then asked.
The fat man glanced at Li Ergou meaningfully, then shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, but I guess he should be a person from the yang world, a part-time errand in the underworld." ”
"What?"
Li Ergou was stunned, this was the first time he had heard of this statement.
How can a living person still work part-time as an errand in the underworld?
Could it be that the shortage of talents in the underworld has reached this point? Or is there anything special about the second grandfather? Only then did the people from the Netherworld come to the door?
But it shouldn't be!
The second grandfather has lived in Wolong Village all his life, and there is nothing special about him except for his withdrawn personality for so many years.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ergou thought of another possibility.
If it is really like what the fat man said, the second grandfather is a judge of the underworld who is a living person, then what about the city god?
As the judge's immediate boss, will it be the same?
The judge was directly appointed by Chenghuang, and since the second grandfather had no way to start here, the problem should lie with Chenghuang.
Li Ergou clearly remembered that at that time, he went to the City God Temple with the fat man and asked the City God about the Fengyuan Building, but the City God did not appear, but only used the demon wind to use the Yin text to transmit information to the fat man.
Now that I think about it, this Chenghuang is probably a living person, so he doesn't want to show up.
"Fat master, do you think that Lord Chenghuang will also be a living person?" Li Ergou said the question in his heart.
The fat man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm also thinking about this question, if that's the case, then a lot of things make sense." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the water's edge, wanting to see the place where the Yellow Spring Road had disappeared.
Seeing this, Li Ergou had no choice but to follow.
But as soon as he had taken a few steps, he noticed a head wearing a grimace mask poking out from behind a peach tree not far away, and he was looking at them fixedly.
"Fat man, look! The Ghostface is here again! Li Ergou exclaimed in surprise and quickly pulled the fat man who walked in front.
"Where?"
The fat man hurriedly turned around and looked in the direction of Li Ergou's finger, but strangely, the ghost-faced man disappeared.
"I said, Brother Ergou, are you a little too nervous?" The fat man patted Li Ergou on the shoulder and said.
"Impossible! I just saw it and hid behind that peach tree, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye? Li Ergou hurriedly explained.
After he finished speaking, he deliberately ran behind the peach tree to take a look, and after finding that there was indeed no one, he said unwillingly: "Maybe it's really me who is dazzled!" ”
"Alright! Brother Ergou, don't be too nervous, these things like ghosts and gods are not as terrible as you imagined, besides, even if there is anything, there is still a fat man and I are in front of you! ”
The fat man came over and comforted Li Ergou a few words.
"Okay, fat man, I really didn't misunderstand you."
Li Ergou slapped the fat man on the shoulder, and then said, "Fat man, where are we going next?" Is it just going home? ”
The fat man had already probed just now, and since those paper men and horses left, the water surface had returned to its previous calm, and he couldn't see anything famous at all.
Originally, Li Ergou still thought that he wanted to tell the fat man what happened in the ancestral hall after the fat man left, and then took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to sneak into the ancestral hall to investigate.
But after thinking that the ghost monument was a secret that his grandfather desperately wanted to keep, he still endured it.
"Brother Ergou, that's all I think about the madman, and it doesn't make much sense to investigate further, why don't we go to Guan Erye's Wusheng Temple and solve the matter of the drought?" The fat man suggested.
Li Ergou thought about it, then nodded and agreed.
The problem of the small drought fish really can't be delayed, and if it drags on for a few more days, I'm afraid that even the reservoir in front of the madman's grave will dry up.
At that time, the drought will spread to the entire Yangcheng, all the crops will die, and Yangcheng will be in chaos.
Another point is that he has been home for two days, and I don't know how the situation is on Sister Bao'er's side?
You must know that the underground labyrinth of Fengyuan Mansion has a suspected regional passage, although Da Mei and Uncle Beard have already gone to that altar, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come out to be demons again.
People who have concerns in their hearts, no matter what they do, no matter when and where, they can't help but think about her.
Li Ergou is in such a state now, he also wants to finish the matter of the drought as soon as possible, and then go back to Yangcheng.
After the two of them made a decision, they walked towards the Wusheng Temple, which was two kilometers away.
After they were gone, the ghostface came out from behind the madman's grave. He stood quietly in the cold wind, looking at the direction Li Ergou and them left, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, it is strange to say that the little drought fish has not come out to make trouble since it disappeared.
If it weren't for the fact that in the past two days, there was a sudden large-scale drought in the entire Yangcheng, and Li Ergou would have wondered if the little drought had been collected.
After all, the third uncle said at the time that the affairs of Fengyuan Mansion were already in the hands of the masters, and at that time, Li Ergou still doubted whether the masters mentioned by the third uncle would be fat.
However, through the observation of the past few days, Li Ergou found that this possibility is very small.
The fat man is actually the same as him, even if he has secrets in his heart, he doesn't know much more about Fengyuan Mansion than him.
In other words, there are other people who are the masters mentioned by the third uncle.
"Fatty, can Second Master Guan really solve that little drought?" When he came to the Wusheng Temple, Li Ergou suddenly asked.
On this big night, when he suddenly came to the temple, Li Ergou still felt furious in his heart even though he had seen ghosts several times before.
"What, Brother Ergou, don't you believe what I said, fat master?" The fat man stopped and asked.
"Fat man, you know I didn't mean that, I just think it's eerie and scary." Li Ergou hurriedly explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man laughed: "Brother Ergou, I'm joking with you, why are you still serious?" ”
After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the Wusheng Temple, and when Li Ergou saw this, he had no choice but to follow.
