Chapter 2: The Next Life
Two thousand years ago, Mo Xun, as the first few people who did not go to reincarnation after death, was assigned to the official position of the underworld, the fifteenth small hell lord under the throne of the sixth hall of Yama Bian Cheng.
Xue Huaizhong's death was earlier than Xu Mingzi, he was a member of the Shang Dynasty, and he was unwilling to reincarnate for some reason after he died, so he became a small hell master, and then the old reincarnation king was about to be reincarnated, so Xue Huaizhong took the position of the old reincarnation king and sat until now.
After the Ten Halls of the Hells of the Underworld were temporarily stabilized, the Emperor Xudu disappeared. No one knows where he went, but fortunately, the Ten Halls Hades have always cooperated tacitly, and there has never been a time when there was really chaos. Because of this, the Emperor Xudu has lost contact with the underworld for hundreds of thousands of years.
"If the mirror platform is broken, report for repair! Tell me what to do, I can't control it. There is no such technology. Xu Mingzi said this, but he was sad in his heart, not necessarily when, when the evil mirror platform is completely unusable, the entire underworld will be in chaos.
"What are you telling you to do, are you long-hearted? It's none of your business, right? Xue Huaizhong couldn't wait to splash the cocktail in his hand on Xu Mingzi's face, and he tried his best to think of a way for her, and found her to transfer it from Bian Chengwang to his side.
"I can't care if it has something to do with me! You are old and confused, you and King Qin Guang have discussed this matter with the other Eight Hall Yama Kings, what's the use of discussing with me, the little hell master? Xu Mingzi also understands that Xue Huaizhong's thoughts about himself over the years are now very civilized in the underworld, let alone dealing with objects, even if it is a relationship between people of the same sex, it is no problem. But the point is that you can't do it.
"Did you take care of it? Don't I want to find a way out for you? Your little hell is okay now, and there is nothing to dare to shout injustice, but if the evil mirror platform is not good, everyone shouts injustice to you, what are you doing? Xue Huaizhong pushed his heart to "induce" Xu Mingzi to change jobs.
"Check it when you need to! If you can fix it, I'll do what the fifth hall does! "Xu Mingzi just doesn't get set. The fifth temple was the first to have problems, and the king of Yama used the method of sending messengers into the world to punish those who escaped punishment to maintain the rules of the fifth temple.
"Mingzi, listen to my brother's advice, let's do it with my brother! If one day it really gets messed up, then we're a safe haven. Do you know how many people are spending money now, and they come to me and ask me to arrange a job. Saying that, Xue Huaizhong also took out a list.
"Okay, you kid still took bribes?" Xu Mingzi snatched the list in Xue Huaizhong's hand, which contained the name of the bribe ghost, the number of the prefecture's citizenship card, and the amount of the bribe.
took the list, and Xu Mingzi looked at them one by one. There is also his own familiar name here-Zhu Yao.
Zhu Yao is a ghost under his own name, a martyr during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. When he died, he was not very old, he was only in his twenties, he was not married, and he was a young man.
Zhu Yao is short in stature, and there are a total of four children in the family who survived, with two older sisters above and a younger brother below. It can be said that life is very hard. Not long after my brother was born, my mother died. The two elder sisters married far away to be concubines in big families, and their mothers had no money and power, and they didn't live well, so they could only watch their father and his two younger brothers suffer.
When he was nine years old, Zhu Yao's drunkard father also died, and his younger brother Zhu Yuan was only six or seven years old at that time.
The life of the little brothers can be described as very hard, the younger brother is too young, even if he goes out to do things, no one wants him, and he can't cut firewood. The younger brother did not stay at home, he went around looking for whose house had finished the fire, and when the ashes were poured, he went to roll in the ashes of other people's stoves to keep warm.
When I heard Zhu Yao say this, Xu Mingzi's tears fell, obviously the country at that time was much better than her time, how could there be such a poor person suffering from this again.
The brothers have finally grown up. It was at that time that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began.
The conscription began, and the brothers had to go one. Zhu Yao is reluctant to go to the battlefield to die again with his short brother, this is a multiple-choice question that two brothers must die one of them. Zhu Yao chose to let his younger brother live.
Not long after entering the battlefield, Zhu Yao was hit by a cannonball and died. But he forgot about his death, he dragged his body that was shot, and crawled back to the motherland, he wanted to go home, he wanted to go home to take care of his younger brother, and he couldn't let his younger brother starve to death.
In the end, Zhu Yao was brought back by the traveling ghost, and at this time, through King Qin Guang's evil mirror platform, he knew that he was really dead. Because he didn't bury his father properly before his death, he was assigned to Xu Mingzi. Xu Mingzi learned that his life was so hard, and he couldn't help but cry for Zhu Yao.
"Little Hell King, can I not be reincarnated? I want to wait for my brother, do I want to see if my brother is still alive? I've lived for him all my life, and when I die, I still care about him. He has suffered with me since I was a child, and when I left, he was seventeen or eighteen, and he was still as tall as a child. Zhu Yao also cried when she said this.
"You stay, until you want to go." Xu Mingzi crossed his name out in the list of prisoners, being poor is not wrong, being poor, not unfilial, if he has money, he must let his younger brother and himself eat first!
Later, after a long time, Xu Mingzi secretly asked Zhu Yao to go to Wangxiangtai to see his younger brother Zhu Yuan, he was doing well, had a wife, and gave birth to a daughter. Because of Zhu Yao's martyrdom status, the state arranged a job for Zhu Yuan, and after his life was guaranteed, he married a wife and lived a life that others envied.
"Why is there Zhu Yao?" Xu Mingzi couldn't believe that Zhu Yao would bribe Xue Huaizhong.
"I don't know, maybe they all want to find a way out!" Xue Huaizhong was not familiar with this Zhu Yao, it was because Xu Mingzi brought him over, and then he would come over. He took a lot of money, but Xue Huaizhong didn't accept it.
"I didn't take him in to bribe him behind his back! You give me the list, and I will report to King Bian Cheng! "Xu Mingzi's fire suddenly rose, Zhu Yao still wants a way out? He even gave him the opportunity to serve in the underworld now because of her Xu Mingzi, what does this mean now? Think she, Xu Mingzi, is unreliable?
"Don't say I gave you this list!" Looking at Xu Mingzi's distant back, Xue Huaizhong shouted loudly. But he really didn't really care about that. The big deal is to stimulate Xu Mingzi and let her know how precious the opportunity to come to him to reincarnate the king is.
Leaving the 132nd floor, Xu Mingzi went straight to the 97th floor, as an executive ghost, Zhu Yao should be here at this time.
Approaching the 97th floor, the little girl at the front desk greeted Xu Mingzi respectfully. Xu Mingzi didn't say anything else, and asked Zhu Yao directly where he was.
"Zhu Yao should be supervising the execution now, you don't have to go over, little Hell King, it's uncomfortable, I'll help you call." The little sister at the front desk said.
"Let him come to my office for me."
Not long after going back, Zhu Yao came up, he was wearing a pair of bib pants, which looked a bit like Super Mario.
"Do you know what I'm looking for you?" Xu Mingzi's face was very ugly.
"I don't know." Zhu Yao nervously put his hands behind his back.
"You don't know, do you, you told me you don't know? My temple can't accommodate your big Buddha, isn't it! Xu Mingzi threw the list in Zhu Yao's face.
"No, no, no. Little Hell King, I was wrong. Zhu Yao immediately knelt down, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xu Mingzi.
"Do you know how I feel when I get this time? I have been betrayed! I am the master of the little hell, and I never bend the law for personal gain, and I don't help people eliminate punishments, but I help you eliminate them. You won't know what people say! Say that I took a bribe from you, and say that I made money! ”
Xu Mingzi is really angry, she has almost never done anything like this, she has helped people eliminate punishment a few times, and she was also sent to the reincarnation king to reincarnate, but Zhu Yao, she left Zhu Yao by her side.
"Don't be angry, I'm not leaving. I ......" Zhu Yao hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the truth.
"How are you?"
"Recently, my niece occasionally burns money for me, and I also take time off to go up and see my nieces. My brother is over eighty, I don't even recognize him, I'm blind, I don't know anything. It's all his sin! I didn't take good care of him! Zhu Yao said to Xu Mingzi.
"You want to help your brother atone for his sins?" Xu Mingzi asked patiently.
"He was looked down upon too much when he was a child, he was divorced, and his daughters didn't recognize him anymore. His personality became more and more tyrannical, and after remarriage, he often drank heavily, and after drinking, he punched and kicked his wife and children. ”
"Do you think you're to blame for all this?" Xu Mingzi was puzzled by this.
"If he could have been so lonely and not so poor when he was a child, it wouldn't be like this!" Zhu Yao said.
"Every man has his own life, he is your brother, but he is also himself. Man's way is his own. Xu Mingzi persuaded him.
"He thinks about me, and every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he burns paper money for me." When Zhu Yao talked about this, his eyes were a little sour.
"I understand, I have a sister too. My sister is also very good to Russia, and I understand the feelings between you. But you know what? Your brother's sin for a lifetime and the merits of a lifetime are already certain. You go and reincarnate, and when he comes down, I will tell him that he has a good brother. Xu Mingzi said, erasing Zhu Yao's name from the list.
"I'm not going, I'm going to wait for my brother." Zhu Yao said a little stubbornly.
"Your brother's life is approaching, do you want to wait for him and then reincarnate together?" Xu Mingzi asked.
"I still want to be his brother, and next time, I will definitely protect him." Zhu Yao said firmly.
"I promise you. Let's go down and get busy. By the way, bring this list to King Qin Guang. ”
After Zhu Yao left, Xu Mingzi took out a portrait in the drawer of the table, and there were two women in it, one was Xu Mingzi, and the other was a woman who was slightly similar to her.
