After visiting the underworld, they walked to a small house, the garden is full of five-color flower trees, bright colors, like five fairies, or pluck the strings to make Xiao, or sing and blow the flute, it is really a clear stream of the turbid underworld, Jiang Xingyue moved in, the flower tree actually began to move, it turned out that this flower forest is placed according to the gossip array, there are rest, left, injured, Du, Jing, death, shocking eight positions, including the principle of the five elements of Shengke, it is not difficult to set up this formation, he is rough through some formations, from the east of the gate to enter, and then to the southwest of the door of the door to jump, and finally from the north of the gate jumped out, came to the front of the house.

But seeing that the small mansion is uneven, and the Zhumen Qihu is in the house, Jiang Xingyue thought: "If you can create a unique corner of the underworld, you must be a master outside the world, and you must not be disrespectful." So he said politely: "The junior took the liberty to meet and asked the master to open the door." He waited outside the door, waited patiently, the door creaked open, entered the lobby, saw the bead curtain, a jade person dressed in gauze clothes, pure skin like a flower, white clothes better than snow, there is Wushan cloud-like ethereal air, she plucked the strings with onion-like fingers, then played and sang: "After the dream, the building is locked, the curtain hangs low when the wine wakes up, but when the spring hatred comes last year, the falling flowers are independent, and the swifts are flying." ”

The sound of the piano is long, like a mountain spring among the green mountains, gurgling and flowing, even if it is pandan crying dew, Jiang Xingyue is fascinated by it, as if she has traveled to ancient times, and praises again and again: "Good tune, good tune." Su Kelan pushed him hard, asking him to pay attention to his appearance, and the jade man asked softly, "Does Childe also understand piano theory?" Jiang Xingyue stammered and replied, "I don't understand much, please give me advice." The jade man saw that his form was cute, dumbly smiled, and the sound was curling: "The piano is originally self-cultivation, so it is necessary to choose the quiet room Gaozhai, or on the top of the mountain, or on the water, or on the floor, when playing, you must not think about it, the blood and blood are peaceful, in order to be with the gods, and the Tao is wonderful, the ancients said "bosom friends are hard to meet", if there is no bosom friend, rather to the breeze and the moon, caress it, in order to send fun, the son and I have a side of the relationship, if you can be cited as a bosom friend, play a song of mountains and flowing water, is not happy. ”

"I... Have you ever seen a girl? Jiang Xingyue was dizzy, although it was very good to catch up with the beautiful girl, but there was really no impression, the jade cloud sleeves hooked up a touch of light, and talked eloquently: "Childe is really a noble person who forgets things, that day in the playground, I reminded Childe, but unfortunately it was still a step late." Jiang Xingyue remembered that ugly fortune teller, how could she not be associated with her as a fairy, but Su Kelan blurted out first: "It turns out that you are the old woman who played tarot cards that day, I think you are pretending to be a witch and a ghost, you must not be at ease, say, who are you?" She didn't distinguish between indiscriminate and scolded, and most of them saw Jiang Xingyue's admiring look.

The jade person is very good-tempered, not caring about her in general, and her clear tone is like a pearl and jade landing, without a little ripple: "It is now, it is inconvenient to conceal it, I was originally a Nine Heavens Xuannu, because the heavenly court was afraid of the power of the underworld, so I was condemned to marry Qin and Jin with Youche, I thought it was a beautiful marriage, but the red knotweed and white apples are deep and thin, and the mandarin man is self-miserable, the Hades King is quiet and stone-hearted, violent and perverse, although I have the name of husband and wife with him, but there is no husband and wife, and I have been separated from him for thousands of years. Su Kelan suddenly rekindled her hope and asked, "So, are you the queen of the underworld?" ”

The Nine Heavens Xuannu bowed slightly, and Su Kelan continued: "Then you must have a way to save us out, right?" The Nine Heavens Xuannu shook her head helplessly, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist: "The Hades King sent a meticulous effort to monitor my every move, and if there is a slight abnormality, I will report it, even I am struggling, how can I save you." Thinking that they would have to suffer in the underworld in this life and be in the company of evil ghosts, the two of them looked gloomy and showed despair, and the Nine Heavens Xuannu Bodhisattva showed them a clear way: "Although I have no real power, I have a very good relationship with King Qin Guang, one of the ten halls of Yama. Saying that, she took off the hairpin and handed it to Jiang Xingyue: "You give this to King Qin Guang, he will know, arrange the underworld judicial examination for you, and after you pass, you can become a judge under King Qin Guang, and then be promoted step by step, and when you reach the position of King Hades, you can come and go freely." ”

Her hands were dripping with sweat, and she couldn't help trembling, as if it was an extremely precious thing, Jiang Xingyue was grateful to Dade, took the hairpin, and assured her: "Thank you, when I become the king of Hades, I will definitely try to rescue the girl." The Nine Heavens Xuannu nodded, her eyes sparkling, like a pool of clear water.

A hall of Qin Guangwang, in charge of the book of life and death in the world, in charge of the good luck and evil of the netherworld, the ghost judgment hall lives outside the fertile reef of the sea, is west of the Huangquan black road, where the hook to the good people, is to lead the life, the merit of the two flat men and women, sent to the tenth hall to distribute, according to the karma of the retribution, all the evil less, so that the right high platform of the temple, called the mirror platform, the platform is one zhang high, the mirror is ten around, the mirror is shining, all the evil kind, immediately escorted to the punishment.

They walked for several miles, there was a building with blue tiles and black walls in front, after entering, the colorful building was colorful, it was not gloomy at all, it was like a fairy cave, King Qin Guang greeted him personally, he had leopard eyes and a lion nose, a long beard, a square crown on his head, and a wat on his chest, Jiang Xingyue handed over the token to King Qin Guang, explaining the intention, King Qin Guang asked him to study first, and took the exam on a scheduled date, Jiang Xingyue asked: "Your Majesty King Qin Guang, is there any book for reference and recitation?" King Qin Guang laughed and said: "Studying justice in the underworld is all field trips, and you can come with me." As he spoke, he waved his robe sleeves and led the way ahead.

King Qin Guang took them to the lonely ridge, looking silent, drenched in blood, he sat under the canopy, and gave two each, let Jiang Xingyue and Su Kelan sit next to them, and patted the shocked wood: "Escort the prisoner over!" He deliberately lengthened his tone to make it more majestic, "What crime did you commit in your lifetime?" The voice was deafening, and the guilty soul trembled and said: "I was an official before I was born, and I was a sports partner, and I swallowed food and salary, so I ask the king of Hades to forgive me." ”

King Qin Guang pronounced the verdict: "You did not seek the right path in the world, you were born as a parent official, and did not seek the welfare of the people, but corrupted the law, oppressed the people's fat and ointment, and the crime was unforgivable, and you fell into the borehole pool." The two jailers dragged him and threw him into the pool full of poisonous snakes, and the snakes wriggled and drilled, extremely large, drilling in from the prisoner's mouth, and then out of the navel, until the whole body was full of drilled holes, and the drill holes were covered with blood, Su Kelan was so frightened that her face was colorless, and she hid behind Jiang Xingyue, not daring to look at it again.

The worse is still to come, King Qin Guang ordered his subordinates to boil oil in a cauldron, take another criminal, and question his crime, the prisoner was weak in his hands and feet, and begged for mercy: "I made a living by dancing and writing ink during my lifetime, and I wanted to write legal books with limited sales, so I specialized in writing and prostitution. His tone was choked, and he kowtowed again and again: "The younger one lost peace and divorced his wife, and in his twilight years, he suffered from a half-body disease, and his children were scattered, and he has been retributed, and I hope that the adults will be lightly distributed." ”

King Qin Guang's heart was iron-clad, and he was not moved at all: "You were born as a scholar, and you should have inherited the sacred learning of the past and opened peace for future generations, but you spread filthy thoughts and poisoned young people, so heinous and heinous, you dare to twist your tongue here!" Come on, throw it in the pan and fry it! The criminal was so frightened that he almost fainted, and was put into a boiling oil pot, and the ghost pawn was busy refueling and adding fire, and this was not the end, the ghost pawn also sprinkled cold water in the boiling oil, and for a while the oil splashed everywhere, spraying the soul body without complete skin, and the already naked body, floating blisters all over the place, the scene was pitiful, and even the ghost pawn had compassion.

Immediately after the tragedy was still staged, the murderer was sentenced to a car crash, with two wheels of uneven, sharp cars like steel knives, crushing the criminals back and forth, until they were pressed into meat sauce, and there were women who did not cultivate morality, and their tongues were trimmed by the bull's head and horse face, so that they could not speak, and there were businessmen who raised the house price, entered the small hell of intestinal pumping, broke the intestines, and were eaten by wild dogs, the pain was indescribable, Jiang Xingyue couldn't stand it, and pleaded: "People are not sages, who can do nothing, and please ask King Qin Guang to raise his noble hand." ”

King Qin Guang knew that he had a good heart and was not an evil person, so he lowered his tone: "These criminals have done evil things in their lives, and they have to repay them after death. You have to remember what you have seen and heard today, and you will have to take the test in the future. "There are gods in the first three feet, everything a person does in the mortal world is recorded by the king of Hades, and rewards and punishments are carried out after death, the good go to heaven, and the evil go to hell, it has long been destined in the dark, how can it be changed by external forces, Jiang Xingyue did not dare to disobey, and nodded in agreement.

In the evening, Jiang Xingyue and Su Kelan met to visit the ghost market, walking on the street, the faint lanterns hung high in the red mansion, there were dragon dance lanterns, there were tricks, and there were high-pitched ones, it was very lively, the ghosts set up stalls on the street, hoarse shouting, selling small objects, all kinds of commodities were lined up, full of the smell of fireworks, Su Kelan smelled the intoxicating aroma of wine, and thought: "It turns out that the underworld is not as terrible as imagined, except for the terrifying torture, there is not much difference between food and clothing and the world." ”

At the end of the street is a restaurant with cornices and corners, the green curtain hangs high, very magnificent, Jiang Xingyue pulled Su Kelan into the door, Xiao Er floated in the air, and asked gloomily: "Two guest officers, do you still live in the hotel." He grinned and laughed miserably, Jiang Xingyue asked for her opinion with his eyes, and Su Kelan looked at the hanging wooden sign: "Let's serve two bowls of ecstasy soup." ”

Xiao Er floated out faintly, after about half a burnt of incense, two large bowls of requiem soup with a golden luster were presented, and the fragrance of the soup overflowed the whole room in an instant, they clinked glasses with their sleeves, took a sip gently, felt the fragrance of their lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless, and they could see the Ming Moxiang full of flying in a trance, as if the soul was warmed by this bowl of soup, worthy of the name of requiem soup.

Su Kelan rubbed her confused eyes: "According to legend, requiem soup can nourish the heart and soothe the mind, it turns out that this is the feeling." Jiang Xingyue sat withered, his head plunged deeply, and let out a long sigh: "Drinking this thing can't calm the soul, now we can't survive, we can't die, it's more uncomfortable than death." ”

Su Kelan showed a smile of sweetness, although her heart was not comfortable: "Let me tell you a story, during World War II, there was a newly married couple, stationed together in the African desert, the weather in this place was very hot, the wind was raging, and the indigenous people around were hostile to them, the wife was very annoyed, for a period of time her husband participated in the army exercises, and did not come home for several months, she stayed at home alone, lonely, she wrote back to her mother, telling her the bitterness in her heart. ”

She cleared her throat and continued: "Mother replied and said a very philosophical word, two prisoners looked out the window from the prison, one saw mud, the other saw stars, the young officer's wife decided to try, she took the initiative to talk to the natives around her, and gave them biscuits to eat, the natives gradually opened their hearts, and took the initiative to talk to her, all of them smiled, in just a few days, the wife found that she had become happy, she began to be fascinated by the aboriginal culture, from a deep house resentful woman to a cultural scholar, This story tells us that everyone has a window to their soul, through which they can look out, and whether the world is beautiful or not depends on themselves. ”

Su Kelan's eyes were tender like water, but they were full of perseverance and bravery, with a kind of glass-like broken beauty, she took Jiang Xingyue's hand: "As long as we live, we have hope." Jiang Xingyue was ashamed of Fang Cai's weakness, there is a sentence in Shawshank's redemption: Even if you are in a ditch, you have to look up at the starry sky, and now that it has been best interpreted, he also nodded decisively, believing that the dawn will eventually come.

After drinking enough, they naturally want to eat enough, they go to enjoy the hot pot again, there is a stone kettle on the case, the fertile soup on it, and the world is different, the hot pot in the underworld is like a scenery of flowing water, there are small bamboo sticks and soil placed on the edge of the pot, do the lush forest and bamboo and the mountains and thousands of gullies, the soup noodles are like Yan Wen's green water, and the seasonal petals are evenly sprinkled on it, so that the bottom of the pot is not only fragrant, but also has the artistic conception of chaos and mist, although there is some water chasing the flowers of the ruined happiness, it is not a big problem, Jiang Xingyue and Su Kelan are shabu with meat slices, eating is delicious, Su Kelan wants to take pictures with his mobile phone and send it to the circle of friends, only to find that there is no network in the underworld, Jiang Xingyue hugged her, and was happy in the bitterness: "Let's just be the secret of the two of us." ”

After they are full of wine and food, they appreciate the performance of shadow puppetry, speaking of this shadow puppet play, the origin goes back to the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved the concubine Mrs. Li and died, Emperor Wu missed his heart, the warlock used brocade silk to make Mrs. Li look like, performed in front of the white curtain, Emperor Wu Longyan Dayue, this story was recorded in the Han book, passed down to future generations, the delicate puppets were under the hands of the hawkers, posing in various poses, the martial artists shouted horse neighing, Jin Ge chime, the fierce and abnormal fighting, the strings of the literary opera were euphemistic, lingering and good, the performance was just right, and the performance was silent pantomime, Like the joys and sorrows of the world,

There are bone hairpins with the characteristics of the underworld on the stall next to them, with different shapes, with a faint silver light on the surface, there is a hazy feeling of gentleness like water, which makes people feel refreshed, a hairpin attracts Jiang Xingyue's attention, the bone hairpin is like a langyu, carved with two silver butterflies that are about to fly, lifelike, with a hazy brilliance, the hawker noticed Jiang Xingyue's paused gaze, his eyes turned, and he said to the male protagonist: "Grandpa, buy an ancient hairpin for your wife, this butterfly hairpin is made of human ribs, how suitable for your wife!" ”

Jiang Xingyue heard that it was human bones, and said no, but Su Kelan straightened her hair and put it on: "The relics are also made of human bones, and they can be worn as well, so why not use this bone hairpin, come here, and follow the customs." "The flesh and blood of the saint and the mortal, but there is no difference in appearance, the difference is that even if the saint withers his life, he can retain the pride of plump skin and clear bones, Jiang Xingyue squeezed out a smile, took out the dark coin, bought it, and saw that her eyes were flickering, full of a little luster, compared with the usual fall and generosity, it was a little petite and soft.

On the way back to the residence, the two of them take the floating chariot ferry, under the crystal clear stream water, there are five-colored boulders, the surface of the pool is cloudy and colorful, like a colorful canvas, there is a high cliff of the gingival and palatal skyscraper downstream, the turbulent water hits the stone wall, there is a sound, although the outside of the high cliff is barren, but into the excavated cave, you will find that there is a universe inside, the hole is red and green, the fragrance is lush, it is clearly a quiet room with a false window.

The stone table and stone chair are piled with green moss, there are bottles and delicacies, and all kinds of magical things, as long as the crystal curtain is gently pulled, a silk puppet will hang down, she looks forward to Shenfei, smiling, wearing a white silk yarn skirt, crystal ginseng silver hairpin pulled up three thousand green silk, it looks like a real person, in fact, it is indeed made by the beauty of the fragrant jade to hollow out the internal organs.

When Jiang Xingyue plays with the silver thread, the puppet Ji can make various movements, or lightly Shu Yun's hands, or raise her wrist and lower her eyebrows, or dance on the three-foot red brocade, which can be described as a red Luo Sa, the Qi group is colorful, although the dance is dancing, but the deceased is gone, only the spring smoke and rain remain, it is inevitable not to regret, although the puppet Ji is interesting, but Jiang Xingyue fiddled for a while, and then put it down, Su Kelan is playing with the stone seeds, there is a faint rainbow halo inside the curtain, and the treasure light is intertwined, "Be careful!" Jiang Xingyue is knowledgeable, he pulled back her lotus root, and the layers of overlapping stone seeds suddenly bloomed, blooming gorgeous stone flowers, the ingenious skills of the underworld can turn dead things into living things, which is really amazing.
