Chapter 37: The Blessing of Heavenly Officials
There was nothing in the Cao Tianshi Hall, and there was a coffin in the center. The house was cleaned and spotlessly clean.
I was stunned for a few seconds, and a chill ran out of my back, which was subconscious. The living are always somewhat taboo about the things of the dead. At this time, Daoist Qiu suddenly pushed down and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Go inside and have a look. ”
After entering, Daoist Qiu looked around, stroked his beard and said, "Open the door to see the official, and the heavenly official will bless you." This Cao Tianshi didn't look so stupid. ”
I didn't understand what Daoist Qiu said.
But I opened the door and saw the coffin. And I soon saw a couplet pasted on the altar behind the coffin, which read: More than auspicious. The next link is: Heavenly officials bless. There are no cross-batches. This couplet is still posted on red paper, and the black block letters give people the feeling of compelling momentum.
I couldn't help but ask Daoist Qiu, "Daoist, is Master Cao dead?" ”
Daoist Qiu said: "He can't die for the time being, but this move is very good." As Daoist Qiu spoke, he raised his hand and knocked on the coffin. The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded in the darkness. Daoist Qiu knocked several times in a row, but there was no response.
Daoist Qiu smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”
Daoist Qiu seemed to be speaking to the person lying in the coffin, but still did not receive a response. Xiao Wanwan and I both looked at Daoist Qiu in surprise.
Daoist Qiu was very calm, and continued: "If you don't come out again, be careful that I turn the official who is in charge into a coffin." As Daoist Qiu's words fell, a sigh suddenly came from inside the coffin, saying, "I'm like this, do you still refuse to let me go?" ”
Daoist Qiu said: "It's not that we refuse to let you go, you hid in the first year of junior high school, and you can hide for fifteen?" Do you think you can get past if you go to Sanguan Temple and ask for a couplet? ”
After Daoist Qiu said this, the people inside moved, and he pushed the coffin lid open, revealing a fairly familiar face, but this time the clothes he was wearing were those of ordinary residents.
Daoist Qiu said lightly: "Come out." ”
Cao Tianshi sat up, his face full of frustration, but the eyes that looked at me changed. Then he asked us, "How did you find me?" ”
Daoist Qiu said that it is not easy to find you? Now you still have a chance to atone for your crimes, if you don't seize it, I'm afraid that even if you lay out and meet the blessings of the heavenly officials, the heavenly officials may not be willing to protect you. Cao Tianshi's face sank, and his gaze fell on me again.
I was looked at a little unnaturally by him, so I said, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”
Cao Tianshi hurriedly looked away and said, "I went to the Sanguan Temple and begged for the three gods of heaven, earth, water, and the three gods, plus after opening the door to see the officials, it stands to reason that you should not be able to wake me up." Who the hell are you? ”
Daoist Qiu answered: "It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that you are awake now, do you think King Turing will let you go?" ”
Daoist Qiu's words lagged behind, and suddenly, Cao Tianshi's face was even more ugly than eating a dead child, and he asked, "How did you know about this matter?" ”
I looked at Cao Tianshi and said, if you don't want people to know, you can't do anything unless you do. Without talking nonsense, take us to the underground palace of the Turing King.
Cao Tianshi leaned on the coffin, with a frightened look in his eyes, and said in a helpless tone: "I can't go back, if I go back, I may not be able to get out." ”
Daoist Qiu said: "It's okay if you don't go, then we will send you to the underworld to see the judge, and let them judge you, and when the time comes, you will make up your mind on the eighteen layers of hell." "Suddenly, Master Cao Tianshi knelt down in front of us without warning and begged us to let him go, and he was also confused for a while.
"You can be an accomplice when you are confused, you have killed so many people, and you dare to pretend to be me and be the master of Turing." I'm a little angry that so many people are dying because of him, and now they say let him go. He looked at me in a daze, as if he didn't understand what I had just said, and asked me repeatedly.
I didn't hide it this time, and Daoist Qiu didn't stop me.
I told him word by word that I was the newly appointed Turing Land Lord of the Underworld. As I spoke, I also showed the paperwork to Master Cao. After Cao Tianshi finished reading it, the strength of his body seemed to be instantly drained, and he sat down on the ground.
Cao Tianshi muttered in his mouth, his voice was very small, and he couldn't hear what he was saying. Finally, he raised his voice and said, "No, the Lord of the Land shouldn't be able to break my heavenly official blessing." ”
He was about to go on, but Daoist Qiu suddenly coughed a few times, interrupted Cao Tianshi's words, and said, "This is your last chance, we will give you ten minutes to think about it." ”
It's just that within ten minutes, Cao Tianshi agreed and said, "I'll take you there." ”
Cao Tianshi stood up again and led us out the door. At this time, the sky is dark, and the basic mountain is in a state where you can't see your fingers. Cao Tianshi came to the door under a tree and began to dig up, and after a while, he dug up something.
Cao Tianshi said that this is the key to unlocking the underground palace.
Cao Tianshi turned around and entered the house, took out a black rope, and asked us to grasp it in turn, and then follow him forward. Don't open your eyes when you don't let us open them.
We all responded, grabbed the black rope, Cao Tianshi took us forward, walked for about ten minutes, I felt a cold breath, and after a while, a hand grabbed me, I subconsciously opened my eyes, and saw that it was Daoist Qiu.
Daoist Qiu shushed. We followed, the scene in front of us was gloomy, and my other hand tightened Xiao Wanwan's grasp.
In front of a river, Cao Tianshi stopped and asked us to open our eyes, we had actually opened our eyes a long time ago, and we would pretend to cooperate.
Cao Tianshi said, "Wait a minute, we will be able to enter the underground palace along this river." ”
I looked at the river, and the water was muddy, like yellow soup. And there was a fog that made it impossible to see what was ahead. I couldn't help but ask, "This can't be the Lethe River, right?" ”
Cao Tianshi hummed, suppressed his voice and said cautiously, King Turing has made a lot of preparations in order to build the eleven halls of Yama. By the way, I want to tell you that King Turing was not a vegetarian either, so if something happens to you, don't give me up.
I looked at Cao Tianshi angrily.
Cao Tianshi muttered in a low voice, I don't want to die yet, I haven't lived enough.
Daoist Qiu smiled, but didn't say anything.
Cao Tianshi quickly clapped his hands four times. The sound of "popping" echoed in the space. Not long after, from the upstream, a little ghost came down, he was holding a rope in his hand, and behind the rope were four coffins, the little ghost came closer, bowed to Cao Tianshi, and called Cao Land, Lord Cao, you are here!
Cao Tianshi's face changed when he heard someone call him the land lord, but he still replied and said, "Yes, we are going to enter the underground palace now, and I have worked hard for you." ”
The little ghost glanced at us, and Cao Tianshi explained, saying, "They are going to meet the Turing King, and I have already informed the Turing King in advance." ”
The imp smiled and made a gesture to please.
The four of us went into a coffin one by one. This feeling is a little weird, and the way to enter the dungeon is also a little strange, just sitting in a coffin. We sat in the coffin, and I said to Xiao Wanwan, if you encounter anything dangerous, you will call me.
I sat in a coffin behind Xiao Wanwan, Daoist Qiu was the second, and Cao Tianshi was naturally the first.
The imp pulled the rope and dragged us forward. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, so much so that I could barely see Xiao Wanwan in front of me. Fortunately, after passing through the fog, the scene in front of us changed, became clearer, and we got out of the coffin.
Cao Tianshi continued to lead us forward, and soon came to a mansion. It said the judge's office, and we just wanted to pass through, but we were suddenly stopped by the ghost.
And there are quite a few imps here, there are one or twenty, and each of them has a serious face, and it doesn't look like a good stubble.
Cao Tianshi said with a sigh: "What are you doing, dare to block the way of Lord Ben." ”
One of the little ghosts said, "Lord Cao, I'm sorry, we are also acting on orders." Come with us. ”
Cao Tianshi said, "Give me a reason. ”
The little ghost snorted coldly, didn't say nonsense, and shouted: "Take them down, there will be a reward on the top." ”
The little ghosts quickly stepped forward to make a move, Cao Tianshi was not a wine bag and rice bag, and he kicked the first little ghost to the ground when he raised his foot, and then a few more little ghosts came up, and Cao Tianshi was entangled. And there are a lot of imps on our side, I found out the river god seal, and directly overturned the imps.
Needless to say, Daoist Qiu pressed the cloth of divination and word measurement, and directly pressed it into a piece of ghost.
It didn't take long for all these imps to be cleaned up by us. The little ghost led before was completely panicked and wanted to run away, but was picked up by Daoist Qiu.
Daoist Qiu said, "Take us to the eleventh hall of Yama." ”
The little ghost didn't dare to resist, so he hurriedly said yes. We followed the imp and kept running. Cao Tianshi couldn't help but persuade us: "Several, I think it's better to forget it, now the Turing King must have known our intentions and taken precautions, I'm afraid we are not their opponents, now that we return, there is still life." ”
I said to Cao Tianshi, if you are afraid, you can go back now, we will not go back.
We continued to walk forward, and Cao Tianshi finally sighed and followed. I've also been to the underworld twice, and the scene here is really similar to the underworld.
Just past the judge's office. Not long after leaving, he suddenly heard a stern angry shout: "Who trespassed on the underworld?" Retreat quickly, or your sin will be unforgivable. ”
Daoist Qiu smiled and said, "Since we are here, we must see the eleventh hall of Yama before leaving, otherwise we would rather stay here." ”
After Daoist Qiu finished speaking, the stern voice sounded again, and he snorted coldly and said, "Is the Turing King the one you can see if you want?" Today, the official will let you die to understand. Soon after these words fell, more imps came. However, the person who led the team this time surprised me very much, it was actually a familiar face......
