The red-robed ghost walked towards me after beating Li Jian away, and his majestic words sounded: "Who are you?" Why did you collude with this ghost who escaped from the city of vain? What are the intentions, let's talk quickly! ”

I had long expected that I would be considered Li Ji's comrade, so I immediately said my identity: "I am Mr. Yin and Yang who walks in the yin, named Qiu Zaishan, I was just kidnapped by that ghost on the road just now, and you came here to get escaped, and I am definitely not the ghost's comrade." ”

After listening to what I said, the red-robed ghost looked at me a few times with his beard, and looked at me with a deep groan, and a ghost next to me looked at me a few times and whispered a few words directly into the ear of the red-robed ghost, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

But I guess most of them are talking about my affairs, and the ghosts I met outside the city before said that my affairs were reported to the underworld by the city god, and the ghosts in the underworld have all been believed, and most of these ghosts in front of me also know me.

The red-robed ghost looked at me a little softer after listening to the ghost's whisper, but I always felt that there was a kind of playfulness in his eyes, as if he had seen something, but he felt something interesting.

"I see, since that's the case, it's nothing, but I have a few questions I want to ask Qiu You, I wonder if Qiu You can explain a thing or two?" The red-robed ghost then said in a deep voice.

Although the red-robed ghost in front of me looked a little stumbling, he spoke calmly and powerfully, and his words were also polite, which made me feel more good about him, and he directly called me Qiu You, which shows that he also has some kindness, so I agreed directly.

When the red-robed ghost saw that I agreed, he didn't ask a direct question, but shouted at the ghosts beside him: "Strengthen patrols, strive to catch the escaped ghosts, and maintain the iron laws of the underworld!" What, come home with me. The demons dispersed after a response, and the dwarf with the sword stood respectfully in place.

"Qiu You, why don't we go to my mansion in this underworld to discuss, please!." The red-robed ghost stretched out a hand and pointed forward, although there was some discussion, but the tone was so majestic that I couldn't refuse.

After the red-robed ghost finished speaking, he walked in the direction he pointed out just now, and the dwarf ghost holding the sword also followed closely and walked respectfully, and I had no choice but to follow him forward.

After walking out of this slum-like place, and then walking through several bustling streets, the red-robed ghost led me to a quiet street, which was said to be a street but not too long, almost a hundred or ten meters.

The houses on the street are all simple and elegant, with the charm of ancient Chinese carved wood buildings, and the carved beams and paintings are not extravagant, but they are full of heritage, but these houses are made of paper, adding a touch of charm.

I didn't expect this red-robed ghost to look so rough, but the residence was so elegant, quite like the feeling of being rich and knowledgeable in ancient times. After walking a few steps through these buildings, the red robe stopped in front of the door of one of the buildings, and a black door plaque hung on the door, on which were written two large characters: Zhongfu.

The red-robed ghost walked to the door, pushed the door open and walked in, and the dwarf ghost and I walked in with me. The furnishings in the house are also very particular, although there are some pleasing trees and flowers in the underworld, but the chessboard built with stones and some rockeries are very good.

After only a few glances, I followed the red-robed ghost into the house, the furnishings in the room are also very particular, calligraphy and paintings can be seen everywhere in the hall, although I don't know calligraphy and painting, but these calligraphy and paintings feel very pleasing to the eye, and the other tables and chairs are very organized.

After seeing these furnishings, I can't help but be a little interested in the identity of the red-robed ghost in front of me, who can command many ghosts and have the ability to frustrate Li Ji, definitely not an idle person, such a character will definitely be recorded in the classics, and the red-robed ghost in front of me reminds me of a character, that is, Zhong Kui.

There is a record in the "Biography of Tang Zhong Kui": Fu Zhong Kui, surnamed Zhong Mingkui, there were Yongzhou Zhongnan people in ancient times, born in Zhongnan and lived in Zhongnan, civil and military cultivation, leopard head and eyes, iron face and sideburns, strange appearance, full of economic belly, upright, not afraid of evil, treat people with integrity, treat each other with heart and bladder, and win the first champion of tribute.

The defense was fruitless, there was no way to serve the country, he sacrificed his life to take righteousness, he died angrily against the pillar of the palace, the emperor was buried with the title of champion, and he dreamed of exorcising ghosts to heal the illness of Emperor Tang Ming, and was named "Blessing the Holy Monarch of the Town House", and the edict was issued to the world.

This passage is very easy to understand, Zhong Kui was admitted to the champion after the imperial examination, but the emperor at that time disliked his appearance and was unwilling to give him the champion, as a result, Zhong Kui hit the pillar on the spot in the Jinluan Hall and died, the emperor buried him with the position of the champion, and finally gave Emperor Tang Ming to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts in a dream, and was awarded the title of "Holy Monarch of Fuzhen House".

According to the records in the classics, the red-robed ghost in front of me can be said to be completely consistent, but I still asked tentatively: "I wonder if you are Zhong Kui and Zhong Shengjun?" ”

Before the red-robed ghost could say anything, the dwarf ghost standing aside first said angrily: "What a bold man, he dares to call the Holy Monarch by his name!" Seeing that the dwarf ghost said this, the red-robed ghost waved his hand and said, "Don't care, what, only you care so much about this now." ”

The dwarf ghost wanted to say something, but when he saw that the red-robed ghost said this, he didn't say anything anymore, and the red-robed ghost then looked at me and said with a smile: "That's right, it's Zhong Kui down there, you can call me Zhong Kui directly, and it's okay to call me that layman." ”

It's much better to understand the identity, although Zhong Shengjun has a strange appearance, he still looks majestic just now, but now he seems to be a little approachable, which makes me feel a little soothed.

Zhong Shengjun then asked about some things about Li Ji, I didn't have any friendship with Li Ji, and naturally I wouldn't help him hide those things, I said it all in one go, Zhong Shengjun listened quietly, just asked briefly in some places I didn't say clearly.

When I finished speaking, Zhong Shengjun sighed and said: "I don't know about the place where ghosts gather, but I have no power to change these, but I am pitiful that I am empty in the name of the Holy Monarch but I am powerless to resist, this is also the arrangement of fate, it seems that the catastrophe still came as expected." ”

Zhong Shengjun's words make me feel that there is something in his words, you must know that in the classics, he is a character who shuttles back and forth between yin and yang, and catches all the evil ghosts who dare to haunt the yang and the underworld, how can he not control this matter, and what is the calamity?

When I hear the word catastrophe now, I can't help but think of the appearance of the monster, is this catastrophe also related to the monster's matter, if this is really the case, the involvement of this matter is really big enough.

I cautiously asked, "Holy Monarch, I don't know what the calamity you are talking about, and why are you powerless to solve this matter even though you know about it?" ”

Zhong Shengjun sighed and said: "I won't talk about the catastrophe first, as for the setting of that place, it is actually deliberately set like that, it is not that the underworld does not care about those lonely souls, that place should have been vacant, but those ghosts have always been entrenched there." ”

"The underworld has advised those ghosts to move out of there many times for thousands of years, and intends to set up a forbidden area there, but these ghosts have been unwilling to leave, even if they forcibly take those ghosts away, they will sneak back, and the iron laws of the underworld are strict, and naturally they can't do anything to these ghosts."

"After many times to no avail, the underworld no longer cares about this place, but in fact, the upper echelons have been paying attention to this place, but the specific reason can't be said now, I didn't expect that it was this matter that contributed to the destruction of the escaped ghost."

Hearing this, I knew that Zhong Shengjun was still reluctant to say the reason for this, but it was normal, since this matter had always been concerned by the high-level of the prefecture, it meant that that place was definitely not an ordinary place that could be known by ordinary people.

After Zhong Shengjun said this, he suddenly stared at me with his eyes and said, "I can't say anything about this, but I'm curious about what you're here for?" This is also what I want to pay attention to, people who go to the yin also have good and evil, I can tell you that this is also based on the goodwill in your eyes, but I don't know whether your purpose is good! ”

Zhong Shengjun's words are getting heavier and heavier, and I naturally won't fail to understand the meaning of this. He is the one who maintains order in the underworld, and if I have any intention of disrupting the order, he will definitely arrest me as soon as possible and send me to the Yama Palace.

But there is nothing to say about the purpose of my coming to the underworld, I pointed to my eyes and said: "When I was a child, I was brought into the underworld by a ghost and returned to the yang, and I had the eye of heaven, and someone told me that there was a mystery behind this eye of heaven, and if I wanted to solve this mystery, I had to go to the underworld." ”

When I said this, Zhong Shengjun didn't have any answer, but stood up and looked at me with a surprised face, and walked around me, as if he was looking at a monster, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Zhong Shengjun looked around, then did it in front of me, nodded and said: "It seems that this matter is really turning around, your matter is not simple, maybe I can help you a little, but I also want to ask you to do me a favor after I help you?" ”

Hearing Zhong Shengjun's words, I didn't agree directly, but thought about it, he said that things have taken a turn for the better and can help me, most of them know something, and my Tianyan matter is also involved, and he also wants me to help him.

This is a little meaningful, whether it is the status in the underworld or the ability to fight, this person in front of me is far stronger than me, and there are so many ghosts in his hands, what else do you need me to help with?
