Chapter 64: The Four Judges
Zhou Qing is talking about the person who dressed up in brocade clothes before.
Dou E just let out a soft shout, and Zhou Qing appeared in front of her, kneeling on one knee, holding his hands into fists above his head: "If you go back to Dou Zhang, I have already checked it just now, there are a total of five people named Zhang Chen in the Dead City, and the last one who entered the Dead City was one hundred and twenty years ago." ”
"Okay, let's go down." Dou E's melancholy eyes turned to the two of us again: "You also heard, there are indeed five named Zhang Chen, why don't you go in with me and have a look?" ”
"Ahem, that.... No need it...."I was a little embarrassed and arched my hand.
Just kidding, the last time I went to the Dead City was one hundred and twenty years ago! Isn't my grandfather even born yet?!
Hong Aya stepped forward and said, "Dou Zhangsi, where else can we go except for the Dead City?" The two of us also have limited time, so we can't go through the entire underworld. ”
"You said that the person you are looking for has not finished his life, and he was framed and came to the underworld, why don't you go to the judge and ask, he is in charge of this matter, maybe there will be news." Dou E thought for a while and said slowly.
"Thank you, Boss Dou!"
Hong Aya bowed her hand and thanked her, and I also said thank you, but after Hong Aya finished speaking, her arched hand did not put it down, and she looked at Dou E with blazing eyes.
The latter also looked at Hong Aya quietly, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of the wind disappeared.
The two of them looked at each other for five or six minutes, but it hurt me, and I raised my hand for a long time, and my arm was sore, as if it was about to be broken, and finally I couldn't hold it anymore, so I had to put it down.
"Okay, good..... The little girl is really a ghost. As soon as I put my hand down, Dou E sighed softly, and then touched it from his sleeve, and took out a small yellow-brown sign and threw it head-on: "When you see the judge, show him this, he will help you." ”
The small sign seems to be made of wood, and it seems to be made of a layer of glaze, the surface is very smooth, and there are small red dots all over it, and the center is written with the word "Dou".
I looked up and suddenly found that Dou E had disappeared, and the two of us were left on the street again.
"Do the people of the underworld like to play so much and suddenly disappear?" I shook my head helplessly and asked Hongyan, "Let's go to the judge quickly, I don't know how much time is left." ”
"Don't worry, the time in the underworld is passing very slowly, and two candles should have just been burned at this time." Hong Aya was not in a hurry, holding the sign and looking at it over and over again.
I looked around and said, "That's not a problem to stay here all the time!" ”
"Yes." She flipped her hand and put away the token, and said with a smile: "Let's go, take you to have a cup and taste what the tea in the underworld tastes like." ”
Seeing her take steps to walk out of the city, I had no choice but to follow and discuss with her to see if I could finish this matter quickly so that I could return to the yang world.
I'm a person, generally can do things in advance will not be delayed, sometimes out of the distance, take the train I have to wait three hours in advance, not for anything else, afraid of being late! What's more, it's in a place like the underworld, but you can lose your life casually!
Red Aya told me that it would be okay and led me in the other direction, and I didn't know the way, so I had to follow her. I could only see a piece of rocks and dirt bags around, and the dust was flying all over the sky, and I couldn't tell the direction at all, and I wondered how Red Aya knew which way to go.
Along the way, she pinched the brand given by Dou E in her hand, for fear of being robbed by someone.
I don't know how long I walked, until I felt like my legs were filled with lead and I was tired with every step, when a street appeared in front of us.
This street is very similar to Yin Si City, but it is a little different, I stood at the entrance of the street and looked at it for a long time before I realized that it was a little more popular than Yin Si City.
It seems a little funny to talk about popularity in the underworld, but this is the case, everyone shuttles through the streets, chatting with the small vendors on both sides, and the way they talk and laugh almost makes me forget that this is in the underworld.
"This is it." Hongya took the lead and walked in: "They all say that the roast pork leg here is delicious, let's go there." ”
I followed her all the way through the busy street, turned left and right into an alley, and turned back and forth in this alley seven or eight times, until finally I came across a somewhat decent shop.
There was a plaque on the door of the shop that I didn't understand a word of what was written, as if it was their own language.
But looking at the depressed appearance of the shop, I really have some doubts about what Hong Aya said just now is right.
We cautiously walked into the store, and I looked around, and sure enough, there were ten tables in the room, and it seemed that they were all covered with cobwebs at the moment. In the small shop, there was no one but the two of us and a young-looking male shopkeeper.
When she saw the shopkeeper, Hong Aya's eyes lit up, and she asked as she walked inside, "Shopkeeper, I heard that your roast pork leg here is particularly delicious?" But why is business so sluggish? ”
"Don't do business now, you guys go." The shopkeeper, dressed in a gray cloth shirt, sat at a very strange table, holding a few ledgers in his hand, and sketched by himself.
"It's really interesting to open a store without doing business." Hong Aya slowly came to the shopkeeper and gently put the sign given by Dou E on the table: "We have something to ask for..."
The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at the sign, and then turned his eyes to the two of us: "Since you have Dou E's token, what is the matter, let's talk about it." ”
"Shen Huai, tell the judge about you." Red Aya turned her head and looked at me.
This is the judge?
I exchanged glances with Hong Aya, and after confirming that this was really a judge, I gave up my hand and told Zhang Chen about it.
After listening to my words, the judge shook his head and said, "I can't help you with this, you have to go to Judge Cui." ”
"Dare to ask.... Who are you, my lord? "As soon as I threw it away, I wondered, "Don't you say that he is a judge?" Why did you ask me to go to Judge Cui again? How many judges are there in this underworld?
"I'm the judge of the Reward Division, Wei Zheng." He didn't look up, and said lightly: "The four judges of the underworld, in addition to me, there is also Zhong Kui, who is in charge of punishing evil; Lu Zhidao, who is in charge of inspection, and Cui Yu, who is in charge of Yin Law. The book of life and death is with Cui Yu, you go to him. ”
I'm going to go, there are four judges in one underworld?!
I've heard of this Judge Cui, but a few other judges... And who?
Hongya didn't ask much, picked up the sign and said "thank you", and pulled me out of the door.
"Huh! Do you know where Judge Choi is? Following her, I asked.
"I don't know, let's ask."
