Chapter 11 The Ox-headed True Monarch Who Eats Ants
The houses in Luodong Dongguan are mostly built in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and are mainly brick and wood structures. Like Ren Song's family lives in the kind of pure wooden attic is not much, according to the old people said that this attic has been in the Ming Dynasty, originally the private residence of a certain official, in the Qing Dynasty, it became the most famous brothel in Luo.
From this side of the street, the house is not very spacious, with two small floors, and the lower floor is a wooden gate, which has long been mottled. However, when you enter the gate, you will find that there are three courtyards in and three out, and the first two courtyards are three-story attics, although all are dilapidated, but they are still very strong. It is said that in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, killed corrupt officials very badly, so the houses of officials at that time were so narrow in front and wide in the back.
And the real strange thing is the stone lion outside the gate, the stone lions of other families either do not have, or they are a pair, but this house is a little special, the lone one, standing in the middle of the gate, people in and out can only bypass it.
At this time, Ren Songzheng and the two ghosts were standing in front of the stone lion, and the partial Hu Zheng slapped its head vigorously, and shouted: "Hey! Hey, lion dude, wake up! After tossing and turning for more than ten minutes, the statue seemed to have a little movement.
With a long yawn, although the lion in front of him was still the statue just now, it instantly became no longer lifeless, accompanied by a low roar, the angry voice of the stone lion came: "Where did the wild road ghost come from, why don't you understand the rules?" How can there be a blue sky and a ...... to make a messenger in the daytime". Before the words were finished, it suddenly let out a "huh", and its tone seemed to be very surprised.
"Aren't you two Lu Dong's ghost servants? Here we go again! Do you want to mention people again, this is strange, we are beautiful in Luozhongshan, not a place where people can't be raised, why do foreign tourists always die here? Shi Shi's tone was a little depressed, Ren Song was just going back, but Li Hu and the two ghosts were shocked when they heard this.
This time the two of them hooked the wrong soul, and the original method of Guo Ju pushing 625 was not bad, but he just caught up with the Xinchenghuang Division to take office, and as a result, when the Yin envoy of Senluo Hall accompanied the new boss into the Chenghuang Temple, he immediately discovered that the three guys had done a good thing.
It's really a bit of a back, if it's just that the new Chenghuang is still fooling, but he also followed a yin envoy, flipped through the records, and immediately debunked the tricks of the three of them, fortunately, Song Chenghuang came forward to take responsibility, and found out about the accident of borrowing the soul spell, and the three of them finally passed the test without danger.
However, Li Hu Ergui already hated the person who cast the spell, and when he heard the stone lion say that there were often outsiders who had accidents in Luozhong, the three words of the soul spell flashed in his mind. Although some people didn't believe that the man was so bold and reckless, and used this evil method to renew the lives of others several times, Bihu still couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that there are a lot of ghosts from other places in Luozhong who have come to detain souls recently?" ”
"Isn't it!" When the lion on the other side heard him ask, he immediately opened the conversation: "In the past three days alone, three waves of Guangdong, two waves of Sichuan, six or seven waves of two rivers and two lakes have come, and people from seven or eight states of Ludong have also come. ”
Hearing it say this, Li and Hu glanced at each other, and they both felt wronged in their hearts. If it weren't for the arrival of the new city god, they would have been able to fool around as much as they did in other places, where they were running around as hard as they are now. But things have come to this point, and complaining is useless.
The best way is to find the person who casts the spell, as long as the magic weapon of borrowing the soul is broken, the name on the original book of life and death will be revealed, so that the person who has been hooked by the wrong soul will be saved. If you can make such a great achievement, not only can the original guilt be written off, but there may also be the possibility of promotion.
That Li Neng has always had a big heart, although he is just a ghost, but he has always been able to forget fame and fortune, seeing that there is a chance to be promoted, even if he wants to ask the lion carefully, he is still quite sober, knowing that the two of them are still waiting for sin, if he doesn't finish the matter of Ren Song's return to Yang first, even if he makes meritorious service, it will be in vain. immediately asked first: "We are not here to lift people, we are here to send people back to Yang?" ”
"What's the yang?" The stone statue obviously didn't understand, and then suddenly said: "Caught the wrong one?" Not really...... It has been a year or two hundred since there has been such a major accident in the underworld! ”
Li Neng, who was still trying to speak next to Hu Yila, said to the stone lion: "Is Zhao Tou'er here?" We have to change the documents as soon as possible, so that this little brother can return to the yang, this matter has already alarmed the Senluo Palace, if we miss the time, we can't afford to bear the guilt! Without waiting for the stone statue to speak again, he pulled a large handful of paper money from his bosom and stuffed it into its mouth.
"Hmm...... Not! The lion really shut up immediately, swallowed the pile of paper money into his stomach, no longer bothered to ask questions, counted carefully, and saw that there was a lot of paper money, and said happily at the moment: "There is no one in the City God Division at this time, they are all doing things for a big man in the sky, and even the City God Lord has also been dispatched, you can wait inside first......"
I didn't say much when I heard nonsense, and beckoned Li Neng and Ren Song to go inside together. As soon as he entered the door, the scene inside startled Ren Song! When he was alive, he could see a small patio in the middle and a three-story wooden attic on either side through the porch, and a second door directly opposite, and his family lived on the second floor on the left-hand side. These attics were extremely long and evenly divided into several houses, and the first courtyard alone inhabited twenty or thirty households.
At this time, the sky in front of Ren Song was pitch black, and Ben couldn't see the sky, let alone the attics on both sides, but the original patio place, a bottomless pit underground, the flames in the pit were majestic, by the firelight, he saw that the four walls around the pit were built with three-story wooden buildings, these small buildings were hanging on the pit wall, and it was shocking to see.
Standing on the edge of the pit and looking at it for a while, he vaguely understood that the building in this pit was quite like the reflection of the attic in the yang world, the most obvious was the big pit, this position in the yang world was originally a patio, standing in the center and looking up, it was like opening a hole in the sky, but here it was a hole in the ground. The more he thought about it, the more he felt similar, and he couldn't help but walk to the edge of the pit and look down, but was pulled by the back collar of the nonsense.
"Be careful, there is a hell fire down there, once you fall, you won't be able to live, and I don't know what evil demons are suppressed in this pit, there are often nine ghost demon ants flying out to devour souls, hide away, otherwise we can't save you." Holding Ren Song's back collar, the partial beard with his head tilted was muttering as he walked out until he thought it was a safer place before letting Ren Song go.
"Hellfire?" Seeing that he was about to come back from the dead, Ren Song, who was full of joy, also gossiped at this time, and saw that the flames in the pit were flying, shining red, but they were not as green as the ghost fire he had seen before, but they were as red as blood and extremely bright, and they were by no means yellow or white like ordinary flames.
As he was looking, he saw a purple flame suddenly burst out of the hell fire, Ren Song looked at it, but saw that the flame had a head with a chest and abdomen, two wings and six legs, and a pair of antennae on its head, but it turned out to be a flying ant. The coward's heart moved, and he asked, "Is this the Nine Demon Ants?" ”
Over there, Bihu and Li Neng were shocked, the black mist on their faces was rolling endlessly, and Li Neng shouted: "Run, run!" The two of them set up Ren Song and ran to the second door. Ren Song saw that the two of them were so panicked, and he was inevitably scared at the moment. The demon ant was originally only flying around in the big pit, but the three of them ran but attracted its attention, and immediately spread their wings and chased after it.
Li and Hu Er's ghosts saw it, and almost scared their bitter gall, when they first came to the Luozhong City God's Temple, they suffered a big loss in the hands of this demon ant, how could they not know the power of this demon insect, but fortunately, Hu Hu's mind was still clear, and when he saw that things were not good, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "There are demon ants flying out!" Devil ants have flown out! ”
Li Neng heard his cry, and immediately reacted, and immediately shouted for help, but all the rooms were quiet, but no one answered, and saw that the fire ant was about to catch up with the three people. But I saw the door creak in the middle of the lowest floor of the pit, and a tall figure flashed out.
This man was extremely tall, at least more than two meters, and he was wearing a black uniform, but he had a bull's head, and the pair of horns on the top were quite huge, which looked very scary.
The bull-headed giant didn't say much, raised his eyes and looked at the Nine Demon Ants who were chasing and killing Ren Song, and immediately opened his big mouth, and an invisible suction force came out of his mouth, instantly sucking the demon worm into his abdomen. As soon as the flying ant entered, he saw that the minotaur had all seven orifices spewing out purple fire three or four feet long. He patted his stomach hard, he seemed to be very satisfied with what he had eaten, and he burped again, and a large ball of fire instantly appeared in his mouth.
Looking at the appearance of the strong man, Ren Song's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is this the bull head of the Hades Palace?" How did it end up here? Then Li Neng shouted: "This king and eight calves, what nonsense, that is the Ox Head True Monarch, the chief guard in the Senluo Palace." After that, he reproached: "You are a living soul, and you are already guilty of calling other people's names, but you still dare to call other people's nicknames and die with your heart?" ”
"Alright, alright!" Seeing this, the partial Hu on the side interrupted his nonsense, glanced at Li Neng, and said again: "Let's go to the back and wait for the formalities of returning yang." When Li Neng heard this, he first glanced at the bull head Zhenjun, first he understood, and immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, let's go to the back." After that, the two ghosts each took Ren Song's arm and went straight to the backyard.
Ren Song saw that these two guys were very anxious, and he didn't dare to look at them, so he walked away together, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Niu Shou Zhenjun loves to eat ants, this is really interesting!" ”
