Chapter 40 On the Yellow Springs Road

Even Hong Daoshi didn't know that the child who caused Wang Fang's dystocia and death was Jiang Cuizhi's reincarnation. After Jiang Cuizhi was reincarnated, she was already dead before she was born. Jiang Cuizhi is the woman who colluded with traffickers to sell He Xin in Maojiagou Township, and Huang Lan, a female ghost in Zhuanggang, found her, and she later died of an evil and violent illness.

Hong Daoshi recovered Jiang Cuizhi's soul from the female ghost Huang Lan in Zhuanggang at that time, and completed the ritual according to industry standards, which was equivalent to handing over her soul to the king of Hades, so that the king of Hades could judge her next life impartially according to Jiang Cuizhi's merits and crimes in this life. Hong Daoshi also performed a ritual for Huang Lan, a female ghost who died in vain, so that she could get rid of her resentment and get her past life.

When Jiang Cuizhi became conscious and conscious, she was already walking on a gloomy road in shackles and handcuffs. With each step, there was a screeching sound of metal clashing on his body, and a piercing pain broke out of his ankle. The surroundings were hazy, like the mist of the morning, and like the night of the evening, day and night, and the hour of the day. There was no sign of other animals, no sign of other pedestrians. Jiang Cuizhi knows that this is not a heavenly fairyland, but a hell on earth. There was a cool swishing breath behind her, which followed her like a ghost. She didn't hear footsteps, but she knew that the thing was staring at her with lantern-like eyes behind her, like an eagle staring at a snake on the ground to eat it. This strange cool breath is not emitted by a person, it is like a ghost spitting out, making people feel like they are in a dark ice cave. She was tired of walking, drops of sticky stuff running down her trouser legs to the ground, and she walked like she was walking on glue.

"Big brother, his feet are bleeding." In the frozen air, a strange voice sounded in Jiang Cuizhi's ears. She looked behind her to the left, a white shadow floated in the air, his feet didn't seem to land, swaying back and forth like a kite, no wonder she couldn't hear the footsteps, only felt a yin wind. She looked behind her to the right, and a dark shadow floated in the same position. She knew that these two things were not good things, and that meeting them was the last misfortune of her life.

Jiang Cuizhi really couldn't walk anymore, and her pace gradually slowed down. The white and black shadows first pushed her away, and when they saw her push and jump like a frog, they gradually became impatient. They took out their whips and whipped them at her, and she soon couldn't hold it anymore, and she stumbled and fell to the ground. They kicked her a few more times, but she was determined not to move, pretending to faint. They paused for a moment, then walked in front of her, and dragged her along with chains. She saw that they were all sticking out their long, bright red tongues, like the hanged man. They wore tall hats with the words "Fortune at first sight" and "Peace in the world".

"You're black and white?" Jiang Cuizhi asked.

"It's us, your longevity is over, follow us to report to the underworld." Hei Wuchang said expressionlessly. When Jiang Cuizhi was alive, she heard about these two ghosts and knew that they were ghosts sent by the king of Hades to the world to hook people's souls. When she saw them, she knew she was dead.

"Two poor masters, I'm already very tired, let's sit down and rest for a while, there's no hurry to travel at this time, I can't run away anyway." Jiang Cuizhi said to the two ghosts.

A road in front of her leads to the distance, this road is like a road not a road, the color is like white and not white, like yellow and not yellow, Jiang Cuizhi walked on it, like stepping on the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, which made her fatigue even heavier. Her mouth was dry, and she couldn't get water after begging for water many times, so she had to endure hunger and thirst and walk slowly.

"On this Huangquan Road, you are still entitled to rest? Hades let you die on the third watch, how can he keep you until the fifth watch? Let's go, go to Fengdu to report quickly, and don't delay reincarnation. The two ghosts didn't understand the pain around Jiang Cuizhi at all, grabbed the iron chains on her body, and quickened their pace to drag her forward.

When the black and white ghosts first started to hook the soul, they were very humane, and they always put themselves in the shoes of the newly deceased. In Jiang Cuizhi's impression, ghosts are intangible things with no real quality, so she grabbed the iron chain on her body with both hands and pulled it back, the black and white impermanence ghost didn't seem to have any power, and she really knocked over a somersault. They sprang to their feet, whirled on the chains, and threw her hard against the rocks by the side of the road. She felt like a cake and her bones fell apart.

This pain and sin was nothing to her, and she had already experienced it deeply. Her nervous system was completely unsensitive to the ravages. The two demons pulled her up, hooked her spirit, and continued to hurry. She was newly dead, her body was still relatively heavy, and she couldn't keep up with them, so she was dragged by them, and she was pushed forward on her stomach.

Jiang Cuizhi has never abused other people, including animals, like these two ghosts in her life. When she was a child, she herded cattle with her father, who treated them like brothers. My father never whipped an ox, and even when he was plowing, when it was too tired to walk, he did not whip it hard. The father just patted the cow's buttocks lightly and whispered to encourage the cow to plow the ground. When the ploughing time is sufficient, the father will let the oxen rest more, plow for a while, and he will not treat the ox as a cow in order to finish the work earlier. When the father was able to enslave the ox, the ox was his brother; When these two ghosts enslaved Jiang Cuizhi, they treated her as a prisoner.

The bones in Jiang Cuizhi's body emitted bursts of soreness, this pain was felt a long time ago. It was a cold winter, and her father covered her with the few beds of torn cotton wool in the house, and he still couldn't withstand her cold. She coughed violently and had a sharp pain in her chest. It took more than a month to torture her for a severe cold before she recovered. Jiang Cuizhi is not a criminal now, even if she has made a mistake in the yang world, and she has not yet been tried in the fourth dimensional underworld, she is at most a suspect and cannot be abused like this. The two ghosts are almost indiscriminate, and it doesn't make sense for her to do this. No matter how ruthless Hades is, he will also talk about the laws of the underworld. She was not afraid of anything and walked boldly on the Yellow Spring Road.

After walking Huangquan Road, Jiang Cuizhi was taken to a large hall. In front of the vermilion gate, there are two stone lions. The gate is guarded by two goblins with faces like black charcoal. It seems to be in disrepair, and the pillars of this hall are vaguely colored. The dried stains on the ground looked like dried blood stains on the torture table. The black and white ghost sent her to a monster with a bull's head and a horse's face, and then went through the handover formalities. After completing their mission, they walked out of the main hall with another card with the name of the person written on it, and went to capture another ghost. The bull head and horse face took off the shackles on her body, helped her into a hall, and respectfully bowed to Shangguan and said, "Official, the soul of the dead has been brought." ”

The judge's face was hideous, and Jiang Cuizhi couldn't help but shudder when she saw him. The ghosts and servants standing on both sides were ugly, armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various weapons. The judge looked at the book of life and death, verified her body, and said: "Your life is over, you should come to the underworld today, what grievances do you have?" What's the appeal? Or have you done any evil? Truth be told, this official is in charge of you. ”

Jiang Cuizhi didn't know how many rank the judge was in the Netherworld, but he should be the biggest official she had ever seen. The biggest official she had ever seen in the Yang World was the township chief. The township chief came to inspect their village, and the village chief and the president had to serve him respectfully, and the people could only look at him from a distance. The township chief walked around in their Maojiagou, looked everywhere, and pointed everywhere, like a great general commanding the battlefield. They often heard all kinds of instructions from the township party committee and the township government on the radio, and they felt that the township chief was so majestic.

According to the laws of the world before his death, there is no need to kneel when he sees the official. In the face of this judge, Jiang Cuizhi still stiffened her neck and did not bow down. When the bull-headed horse saw that she was rude, he was about to force her to kneel. Seeing this, the judge hurriedly stopped: "My underworld has already implemented reforms, no matter the underworld and the yang, the officials and the people, they are all equal, and there is no need to bow down." In the future, we must change these feudal ideas of dignity and inferiority, and we are not allowed to ruin the reputation of my underworld. ”

It was not easy for the judge to make such a provision. Years ago, the judge encountered several hard bones. They are atheists, and they don't believe that there is an underworld in this world. They only believe that when a person dies like a candle is extinguished, there is nothing, no consciousness, no soul. When the judge found out the book of life and death and proved that they were dead, they never believed it. Because they are still conscious, they still remember what happened in their previous lives, so they firmly believe that they are not dead, but have just changed places. They don't accept any judgment here unless the judge proves that they are dead and have gone to another world. The judge was provoked and took them to see their relatives in their previous lives, and when they saw their relatives, their relatives could not see them. When they call their relatives, they don't hear them. They also saw their own graves and finally had to believe that they were dead. When the judge ascended to the court, he asked them to kneel, but these hard bones just didn't kneel, saying that the people in the yang world had achieved formal equality, and they didn't need to kneel when they saw the big officials, so they couldn't kneel for you here. The judge beat each of them with twenty boards, but they still did not kneel, and finally reported to the king of Hades, who led the implementation of a top-down reform, canceling the ritual of kneeling to show that the yin was not inferior to the yang.
