After seeing the remaining ghosts enter the reincarnation, Meng Po ordered a Yin soldier to ride his jujube red horse, galloped all the way for thousands of miles, and took Zhong Lixiu to Cui Mansion, that is, one of the four major judges of the underworld, the mansion of Cui Yu, the Cui judge who was in charge of the book of life and death.

Cui Mansion is like an ancient yamen, two Yin soldiers wearing armor and holding spears stand next to the stone lion in front of the door, holding their heads high and full of spirit.

Judge Cui was dressed in a red robe, sitting in the public court, with a pair of tiger eyes and a pair of sword eyebrows, his bearing was extraordinary, and his somewhat dark face looked like the upright Bao Qingtian.

Above the public court, the ghost cha bowed, pointed at Zhong Lixiu, and said respectfully: "Judge Qi Cui, according to Lord Meng Po, this person drank twelve bowls of Meng Po soup in succession, but it had no effect, so let Cai Xiao bring him to ......"

Judge Cui nodded and said, "I already know about this matter, you go down first." ”

"Yes."

The ghost cha turned around and retreated, and at this time, only Zhong Lixiu, Judge Cui and the Yin soldiers standing straight on both sides of the court were left, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

Zhong Lixiu organized the language, hugged his fists, and said without humility or arrogance: "Judge Cui, when Xiaosheng was in the yang world, although he did not show kindness, he never did anything that hurt the heavens and reason, but now he is dead unclear, there must be something strange in this, and please ask Judge Cui to investigate!" ”

Seeing Zhong Lixiu's calm demeanor, neither showing any arrogance nor the slightest timidity, Judge Cui couldn't help but nod secretly and said with a smile: "Young man, it's okay to speak Mandarin, the modern people who have been interrogated by this official have gone to many nautical miles, and after accumulating for a long time, Mandarin may be even more slippery than you." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Lixiu was stunned, and then nodded in a sudden understanding. I secretly said in my heart, I deserve to be a judge, I am eager to learn!

Judge Cui shook his head slightly, with a move of his left hand, a light flashed, and an extra quaint and atmospheric book appeared in his palm, "Book of Life and Death!" ”

The Book of Life and Death is one of the three books of heaven, earth and man, namely the Book of Heaven: "Fengshen Bang,", the Book of the Earth: "The Fetal Membrane of Heaven and Earth,", and the Book of People: "The Book of Life and Death,".

And the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen, also known as the judge's pen, is a set, which records the birth, death, and longevity of the world.

Judge Cui's lips moved slightly, and his fingers lightly touched the book of life and death with a faint blue light, and the next moment, the book of life and death seemed to have spirituality, and it turned it rhythmically by itself.

However, in the blink of an eye, it stopped at a certain page, and after Judge Cui looked down for a moment, he raised his head and said loudly: "Zhong Lixiu, male, died at 22:34:8 on February 6 of this year's solar calendar. ”

Zhong Lixiu said unwillingly: "Why is my yang lifespan only eighteen years? ”

"People's life and death have long been predestined, and it is not something I can control, in short, this is your life!"

Judge Cui closed the book of life and death, and his tone was unquestionable.

Zhong Lixiu was silent for a moment and said, "Then why doesn't Meng Po soup work for me?" ”

Judge Cui said lightly: "Although this situation is rare, it doesn't mean that it won't happen, some people were not ordinary people in their previous lives, and they retained some characteristics of their previous lives in the process of reincarnation, or, when you were young, you met some strange people and people who did something to your soul, and besides, this may also be fate." ”

Zhong Lixiu said helplessly: "Then what should I do now?" And you can't be reincarnated......"

"You can't return the yang, can you?" Judge Choi added with a smile.

Zhong Lixiu nodded.

Judge Cui continued: "It's impossible to return Yang, you better break this thought, read that you haven't done anything wrong in your life, and it's an alternative sake, this official can make an exception for you to be a ghost, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, the eyes of several Yin soldiers standing on both sides were full of incredulity, as if they didn't expect Judge Cui to be so easy to speak? Although the status of the ghost difference in the entire underworld is not high, it belongs to a relatively low-level existence.

But is that something that can be done by any person? Besides, there is another advantage of being a ghost, that is, you can go back to the sun to work!

However, since this was said by Judge Cui himself, no matter how much they couldn't figure it out, they didn't dare to ask indiscriminately.

Zhong Lixiu didn't immediately listen to Judge Cui's arrangement, and immediately asked, "What's the benefit of being a ghost?" Shall I live forever and be a ghost in this earthly house? ”

"Being a ghost naturally has its benefits, as long as you make a big enough contribution, when you think of reincarnation, you can also reincarnate a good fetus, for example, if you want to be reincarnated as the son of the richest man in the yang world, the son or daughter of a big star, these are not all problems, as for Meng Po soup is useless to you, I also have a way, the key is to rely on your own efforts, the right pay and the corresponding return are always proportional, this is the same as the law of survival in the yang world!"

Judge Cui patiently explained that he was like a strict teacher who induced children to go on the right path, but he was like a boss of a CX organization brainwashing people, anyway, it sounded quite reasonable, and it was impossible to refute it at all.

Zhong Lixiu was silent, what he wanted was to fight for his own piece of the world in this life, whether he was poor or rich, at least he had worked hard and experienced the whole process, as for how prosperous and rich he would be in the next life, it also belonged to another person's soul and body, not to him.

Zhong Lixiu then asked, "Judge Cui, if I do a ghost errand and contribute enough, can I return my yang?" ”

"No, this is against the rules of heaven and earth!" , Judge Cui is categorical.

"The rules are broken."

"It's just nonsense, the rules of heaven and earth are above the Three Realms, and they are the most primordial rules, how can they be broken by human beings?"

Zhong Lixiu looked up to the sky and sighed, he was still unwilling, the ancients didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin, but even if he saw the underworld judge, he still didn't give up!

"Don't I have no choice but to be a ghost?" , Zhong Lixiu asked again.

Several Yin soldiers standing on both sides were speechless in their hearts at this time, letting you be a ghost in vain, are you still reluctant? It's cheap, and it's good.

But what can they do when they think it's someone else's luck? can only complain in my heart.

Judge Cui said lightly: "If you don't be a ghost, then you are a lonely ghost, maybe the eighteenth layer of hell is a good place to go, come here, take him to the capital city, and enter the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

"Yes, sir." As soon as Judge Cui's words fell, two Yin soldiers came over with expressionless faces and extremely fast speeds, and they were about to take Zhong Lixiu away without saying a word.

Zhong Lixiu is silent, does he still have a choice? This makes people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Thank you Judge Cui for your kindness, I'd better be a ghost!" , Zhong Lixiu hurriedly shouted.

Judge Cui, who had long expected that he would compromise, waved his hand and asked the two Yin soldiers to retreat, and then looked at a Yin soldier standing next to him, and ordered: "Little Wuzi, you take my token to find Chief Niu and handle the entry for him." ”

"Yes, sir." , The Yin soldier approached, took the token from Judge Cui's hand, bowed to Zhongli Xiu, and walked out first.

hugged his fist at Judge Cui again and thanked him, and Zhong Lixiu turned around and followed.

Anyway, Judge Cui is still very fair, and he also intentionally helped Zhong Lixiu, after all, not any ghost can be a ghost.
