Chapter 8 A New Generation of Lantern Bearers (II) - Taking Office!

"Tsk, your generation is really slack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The swarthy dragon sitting on the Black Rock Reef looked at Zhou Lingwu who came in a hurry and said disdainfully. Then he threw a stone lantern dragged on top of his tail in front of Zhou Lingwu.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I want to ask, how do I use this? After all, it was the first time for Zhou Lingwu to see this kind of creature living in legends, not to mention the mighty dragon, Zhou Lingwu was an ordinary mortal soul who saw the divine dragon and naturally couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.

"Tsk! I've been repeatedly asked to introduce, when will this damn life end! The black dragon also ignored Zhou Lingwu in front of him, looking at himself tremblingly not far in front of him, he just swaggered and complained. But complaining is complaining, after all, this is also the work assigned to him above, it patiently elaborated on Zhou Lingwu:

"The name of this lamp is called the human heart, it is taken from the black rock at the bottom of the East China Sea, as long as you are connected to this stone lamp, your lifeline will be stored in the wick, the wick will not extinguish you will not die. The black rocks at the bottom of the East China Sea can protect you from other gods, but remember that if the black stone lamp touches human blood, the lamp will be destroyed! ”

Hearing that his life was still in danger, Zhou Lingwu naturally felt unsteady, and he hurriedly interrupted: "Then how can I protect myself!" ”

The black dragon, who was already impatient, was even more annoyed by Zhou Lingwu's interference like this, he opened his dragon eyes like a bright moon and glared at Zhou Lingwu angrily, and said to Zhou Lingwu majestically: "You and other juniors dare to interrupt the words of the deity!" I don't want to live! Don't kneel yet! ”

Zhou Lingwu was afraid, not to mention killing himself with this guy in front of him, he was afraid that he would be able to do it without being able to live a lifetime, so he hurriedly leaned down and knelt down, showing his respect to the black dragon.

Although the black dragon didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour longer, the matter had not been explained, the task had not been completed, and he would be punished if he went back now, so in desperation, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and continue, but this time his tone was obviously not as good as just now.

"You don't have to worry about your safety, since we have set up a position for you as a lantern bearer, we will definitely protect you. Meng Teng, haven't you seen your master yet? ”

"Cheap life Meng Teng see the kiln god!" As he spoke, the black shadow that stopped Zhou Lingwu from attacking the lantern man appeared, and it was not until this moment that Zhou Lingwu could clearly see what this guy called Meng Teng looked like, not to mention, this guy really did not deserve the name of the black shadow, his whole body was black, he had no facial features, and everything he saw was pitch black.

"This Meng Teng is the strongest vine armor in the rattan armor army of Meng during the Three Kingdoms period, the Emperor of Heaven gave him a spirit to protect you from dying during your tenure, you can rest assured, your lantern bearers will be changed every four hundred years, and they will not be changed."

"I went on to say that your task as a lanternbearer is to take their souls back one by one according to the names on the list and bring them back for interrogation, and then after the interrogation is complete, you will order the Seven Heroes who are guarding the door to send them to the underworld. There are three people to assist you in your work, the Seven Heroes at the door, who is your coachman. There is also a famous sword, he will help you deal with rewards and punishments, okay, that's all I have to explain, and you can tell Chunjun to tell you the rest. Chunjun, come out and confess the Lord. ”

After saying this, the black dragon rose up without looking back, circled in the sky and flew towards the south, startling the vast ocean to the south of the lantern mound.

"Chunjun, congratulations to the kiln god!"

"Meng Teng, send off the kiln god."

The black dragon has been flying away for a long time, but the two people in front of him are still kneeling on the ground and dare not get up, which makes Zhou Lingwu very strange, even if he expresses his awe, there is no need to kneel anymore if they have already left, right?

"Hey, why don't you wake us up?" Meng Teng turned back to Zhou Lingwu and said, Zhou Lingwu knew that there were so many rules here, and he hurriedly ordered the two to get up.

The handsome man with a knife face said to Zhou Lingwu: "Young master, you have to pick up the stone lamp on the ground, and then put your left hand on it." ”

"Oh, huh?" Zhou Lingwu didn't delay when he heard this, he immediately put his hand on the handle of the stone lamp, it was okay not to grab it, Zhou Lingwu's palm just swallowed half of Zhou Lingwu's arm as soon as he got on the handle of the stone lamp, not only that, Zhou Lingwu also felt that the strength of his whole body was surging towards this lantern, until finally, the center of the lantern - the wick was ignited before stopping. And Zhou Lingwu did not really complete the handover until this moment and became a new generation of lantern bearers.

"What's wrong with me!" Zhou Lingwu couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at his changes, and he hurriedly asked such an understanding person as Chunjun in front of him.

"Young master, this wick is your life now, it is difficult for you to die, but you can die in four hundred years, and you will be turned into stones and placed in the tomb." Chunjun said expressionlessly.

"What? What about the man who wore the strange official robe before, did he also turn to stone? Zhou Lingwu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, young master."

"Oh......" He had just been hopeful and became listless again, and he thought that he could go to his parents and tell them that he was alive and well, and that he had become an official. Now I don't have that mood anymore.

"Young Master, you need to find a mortal who is not your parents to let him know about this." Chunjun continued.

"Oh? Why? Zhou Lingwu asked puzzledly, why did he want to let someone who was not his closest relatives know about it?

"Because there have been people who have violated the power of the lantern man in the term of office within 400 years, and the above decided to choose a mortal to restrain the lantern bearer, if the lantern bearer does well, then God will give this mortal a life span of 400 years, and after death, he can be reborn as a human without accepting the judgment of hell, but if the lantern bearer makes a mistake, then this person will be immediately executed, and his soul will be scattered. Think about it. ”

Zhou Lingwu, who realized the seriousness of the problem, fell into a difficult choice for a while, and his closest relatives couldn't choose, so who should he choose? His friends are absolutely unreliable, he can only choose a stranger, so that he can have fewer restrictions on himself, choose and choose, Zhou Lingwu fell into confusion for a while, but this confusion did not last long, because a name suddenly appeared in Zhou Lingwu's mind, that is, when he was interrogating himself, the officer Zhou who didn't believe that he was still rude to himself. Thinking of this, Zhou Lingwu's face couldn't help but raise an evil smile, and he said to Chunjun: "Do you know that Officer Zhou when I was on trial?" ”

"You know, what's wrong? Did you choose him? Young master, you have to think twice, this mortal is your body in the Yang World, are you sure? ”

"That's right, it's him! Wait a minute! What did you say? What is the body of the yang world? ”

"It's that if you want to return to the Yang World, you need to spend your soul in his body, but the time is also very short, only three days, and you can only have it once a month." Chunjun said to Zhou Lingwu.

"That's right! That's him! "Hmph, look at how Lao Tzu fixes you! Zhou Lingwu said on his lips, but he did make the worst calculation in his heart!

Chunjun, who got the exact person, took out the scroll in his hand, rummaged through it, and drew a stroke on the name of a person surnamed Zhou on it, and the matter was done.

"Let's go, young master, Elder Seven Heroes will take us to meet him!"

“? Who to meet? Zhou Lingwu was confused for a while!

"Of course it's your choice?"

Without waiting for Zhou Lingwu to think about anything more, the Seven Heroes had already walked to his side, and Zhou Lingwu, who was only as tall as the sole of the Seven Heroes, was lifted up and thrown into the lantern of the Seven Heroes.

A burst of brilliant light flashed, and Zhou Lingwu found himself entering a strange space, and on the opposite side of the space was the officer Zhou with a blank face. Zhou Lingwu hurriedly pretended to be calm and said to Officer Zhou: "Ahem, who do you think I am?" ”

Officer Zhou looked back when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was Zhou Lingwu who had already been shot, he hurriedly subconsciously pulled out his gun, but he touched it carefully and found that he didn't have a gun on him, he said to Zhou Lingwu with an unkind face: "I didn't expect you to be able to escape from the court!" ”

"Look closely, I'm a dead man!" Zhou Lingwu deliberately scared.

But what he didn't expect was that this Officer Zhou shrugged his shoulders noncommittally as if he was not surprised, and he said to Zhou Lingwu: "We have offended many people as policemen, and there are no ghosts who have come to me, you are not the first, and you can't take my life." ”

"Haha, what do you say? I died unjustly, and now that I'm a lantern bearer, you're my minion in the yang world, do you know? Zhou Lingwu said to Officer Zhou.

However, Officer Zhou obviously didn't believe it, and he sneered at Zhou Lingwu's soul: "The little ghost is not small! I see you ......" But before he could finish speaking, he withdrew half of what he said, because he found that his body had actually begun to light, and there was an incoming line above his head that shot out from the center of the Tianling Gai, and practiced with the wick of Zhou Lingwu's stone lamp, which did not allow him not to believe it.

In Officer Zhou's disbelievable eyes, Zhou Lingwu summoned Chunjun to inform him of everything, and then Zhou Lingwu disappeared.

"Xiao Zhou! Why do you still fall asleep at work? Played mahjong again last night, right? ”

"Huh?" Officer Zhou looked up! I found out that I was asleep in the police station! Not only that, but I fell asleep when I reported to Director Wang for this morning's work! How not to surprise him!
