Chapter Seventy-Three: The Land on the Waterfront
Before Daoist Qiu answered, even Xiao Wanwan showed a curious look.
Daoist Qiu didn't sell it, and said: "This Tianwu General is actually an official position in the underworld. A title to be exact. ”
I said to Daoist Qiu, I have been in the underworld for so long, and I have been promoted from the land lord of the underworld to the current little judge, and I have not heard of the position of General Tianwei.
Cao Tianshi also echoed and said, I haven't heard of it either.
Daoist Qiu said, therefore, you only know one but do not know the other. In addition to these legitimate official positions, the underworld will also divide the people outside the underworld system, and these people are generally ghosts and gods who contribute to the underworld. Just like in ancient times, a general who made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, along with his own mother, may also be rewarded, rewarded as a lady and the like.
I can understand Daoist Qiu's explanation.
I then asked Daoist Qiu, "Then when did General Tianwei seal the underworld?" ”
Daoist Qiu smiled and said: "This is a long story, I will simply say, when the king of Hades traveled to the world, he was seriously injured by accident and was rescued by the residents of the world, after the king of Hades was injured, in order to thank this person, he went to the world for a trip, the king of Hades promised to let him go to the underworld as an official, but the man did not want to go, saying that he had children and wives in the world, and did not want to leave his family to go to the underworld, and finally the king of Hades enshrined him as the general of Tianwei in the world. The lifespan is more than a hundred years longer than the average person. ”
Xiao Wanwan couldn't help but be curious: "Dao Chief, when did this happen?" ”
Daoist Qiu was stunned for a few seconds, and said: "Poor Dao also listened to what the master said, it has been about a few hundred years, the Tianwei general a long time ago should have died, and now if Poor Dao is not mistaken, it should be that the position of general has been hereditary." ”
It's really unexpected, there is such a thing in the underworld.
I said to Daoist Qiu, the water demon should not be this Tianwei general.
Daoist Qiu said that it was hard to say, and he would know when he caught the water demon.
When we came out of the grass hut, Cao Tianshi was a little absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind. I couldn't help but ask Cao Tianshi and said, "Are you okay?" ”
Cao Tianshi said: "It's okay, I'm just thinking, General Tianwei won't really come to take revenge on me, right?" ”
I said to Cao Tianshi, what are you afraid of, listening to what Daoist Qiu said, he is at most a false position in the underworld.
Cao Tianshi listened to my comfort, and his mood finally calmed down.
After Ruan Xiu ran out, he didn't see a figure yet, standing here at this time, he knew how big this artemisia grass was, and it seemed that there was no end in sight, and I said to Daoist Qiu that there was no way to find it like this. Daoist Qiu hummed and said the same. However, this Tianwei General should know the hiding place of the water demon. Let's go back first, and we'll probably see you in the evening.
Xiao Wanwan reminded and said, "Ignore Miss Ruan?" We heard a scream just now. ”
I said to Xiao Wanwan, that scream would not have come from her, she was so noble, even if she died, she might not beg for mercy, let alone let out such a gaffe scream. Besides, she is still a dragon girl, and ordinary water demons can't hurt her.
Xiao Wanwan may think that what I said makes sense.
We started walking back to the town. The news that the dragon girl Ruan Xiu wants to catch the water demon for the town has spread all over the city, and it is being discussed in the streets and alleys.
When we arrived at the hotel, the shopkeeper also told us that the girl next to us was really a heroine among women, but she was a little impulsive, so many people had died in front of her, and she was still going, isn't this sending her to death?
I smiled and didn't talk nonsense with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper continued, I heard that there is a second group of people who have also gone to catch the water demon.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, I asked, do you see who it is? The shopkeeper said, I didn't see it, I just heard about it.
I thought to myself, could it be the rest of the dragon sons and dragon girls of the rest of the Dragon Palace.
As long as it takes three days, whoever catches the water demon first will be able to get the lottery given by the Dragon King of the East China Sea first. We went back to the room, and Li Chuntian asked me, Zhang Yan, have you gained anything today?
I said not for the time being, but maybe in the evening.
Li Chuntian sat at the table and said, That's good. This time, the old man still hopes that you can get the lottery of the Dragon Palace.
I asked Li Chuntian, is it just to thank me?
Li Chuntian said that it was at first, but then it was not all. What do I mean by that? Li Chuntian smiled, but did not say anything. I didn't get to the bottom of it, the time soon came to night, and Daoist Qiu let us sleep as usual.
Ruan Xiu didn't come back until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't help but think that something really would happen.
I lay in bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep, until the early hours of the morning, when I suddenly heard something moving in the next room, I rolled over from the bed, and just opened the door, but someone pushed me and I re-entered the room. I saw that it was Daoist Qiu.
Daoist Qiu told me not to startle the snake.
I asked Daoist Qiu what was wrong?
Daoist Qiu said that you will know by looking at it. As he spoke, Daoist Qiu opened the door of my room and opened the crack, the gap was very small, but I could hear movement in the corridor, and soon saw a scene that surprised me, only to see Cao Tianshi's body being carried out by something, but Cao Tianshi himself was completely unaware, and he was still snoring while sleeping.
I was a little surprised in my heart, and asked Daoist Qiu in a suppressed voice, what is going on?
Daoist Qiu said to follow and take a look.
We went out and followed Cao Tianshi's body, and I thought to myself that Cao Tianshi was really sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake up. It was early in the morning, and the people in the hotel estimated that they had already gone to sleep, so no one noticed the commotion here.
We followed Cao Tianshi's body out of the hotel.
At this time, someone said something in my ear, and when I turned my head to look, I found that Li Chuntian had also followed.
Li Chuntian said lightly: "If the old man is not mistaken, this should be a corpse removal technique." ”
Daoist Qiu didn't deny it, almost.
I asked Daoist Qiu, "Is this what General Tianwei did?" ”
Daoist Qiu said for a while that it was not him, who else could there be, I thought to myself that this Tianwei general's words really counted, and said that if he wanted to rectify Cao Tianshi, he would rectify Cao Tianshi.
When they got to the street, there were almost no people on the street, and a cold wind swept in. Accompanied by Cao Tianshi's snoring mixed in the night. After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the grass hut that was lit up, but at first glance we knew that it was the light released by the candles.
Cao Tianshi's body was placed on a yellow cloth at the door, and then I saw the straw men under Cao Tianshi walking towards the house.
After a while, I saw a figure coming out of the house, he took a flashlight, walked to Cao Tianshi's side, raised his foot and kicked Cao Tianshi, and said, let you say General Ben, General Ben is what you can say as a mortal? Now General Ben will make you suffer a little.
Saying that, General Tianwei kicked Cao Tianshi again, and this kick was directly facing Cao Tianshi's face, even so, Cao Tianshi still didn't wake up.
At this time, I saw General Tianwei take out a dagger that was bright and dangling, and I was afraid that something would happen to Cao Tianshi, so I rushed out when I saw this, and then shouted and said, "What are you doing!" ”
My words made General Tianwei immediately wake up, and he pulled his legs and entered the house.
I squatted down and tried to call Cao Tianshi up, but I screamed many times in a row, and Cao Tianshi didn't move. Cao Tianshi shouldn't have been fooled by him. Daoist Qiu asked me to get up, and then took out a ** water from my pocket and poured it directly on Cao Tianshi's face.
Cao Tianshi was choked up at this time.
After Cao Tianshi woke up, he still looked confused and said, "Why am I here, what happened?" And how I feel some pain in my face. ”
I said to Cao Tianshi, you sleepwalk, wrestling all the way to this.
Cao Tianshi looked at me in surprise, obviously not believing my words. But I don't have time to explain, it's okay if people are okay.
Daoist Qiu walked to the door of the grass hut and said, "General Tianwei, Poor Dao is coming to you again." ”
General Tianwei snorted coldly in the room and said, "If you have repeatedly committed the following crimes, this general will bring you to justice sooner or later." ”
Daoist Qiu said calmly: "Really? The general's corpse removal technique is well cultivated, such an evil sect crooked way, as a public official of the underworld, you use this evil technique to harm the lives of mortals, I don't know how to deal with General Tianwei if the underworld knows. ”
After these words fell, there was silence for a while, and after that, he still said strongly: "Do you think that the underworld can be lowered by mortals like you?" ”
"Don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, open the door and see what's at the door! ”
