Zhou Dian's eyes were confused, as if he wanted to struggle, his facial features trembled non-stop, and he was about to squeeze together, his yin and yang face was already very ugly, so it was even more weird, after a lot of effort, the blood in his eyes gradually dissipated, he regained consciousness, turned his head to see Lin Qi, and asked, "Why are we running here?" ”

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him recover as before, turned his head and pouted over there, indicating that it was the ugly man who brought the two of them here, Zhou Dian saw the ugly man, and said angrily: "This old boy is bad, pick your ruler away, and then I don't remember anything, it must be a fool, I'll hammer him twice before reasoning!" As he spoke, he was about to fight regardless of it, Lin Qi hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, if you leave the ruler, you will make a fool of yourself again, don't let him see the joke." ”

Zhou Dian was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the ruler, but at this moment, the ugly man turned his head suddenly, an ugly face was extremely hideous, full of grief and indignation, and suddenly stretched out his finger, pointing at Lin Qi and shouting and scolding: "The world says that Lu Xiang annihilates evil and misleads the country, and now it seems that it is true, Lu Qi, don't say that I can't be the champion, even if I don't be the champion, so what?" Seeing that you are the villain who destroys the evil and controls the court, I am angry, and now I want to clean up the government with Banzai and beat you, the villain who destroys the evil! ”

The ugly man was sad and indignant, his eyes widened, watching Lin Qi really treat him as an evil villain, after a few words of scolding, he came up with his arms and sleeves and tore with Lin Qi, and his fist was about to fall, this will make the ugly man no longer have the breath of gods, and like that ordinary person, his strength is not very great, Lin Qi knew that the gossip mirror above his head was broken by the measuring ruler, and remembered that he had come in his previous life, and he was not the same as him, so he hurriedly dodged.

Zhou Dian didn't care about that, seeing that he was clenching his fists and about to hit someone, he grabbed him by the collar, and said angrily: "Ugly monster, go to the side!" The ugly man did not immediately stand up and punch again, but his whole body trembled, his tone was sad, and he said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm reckless in the Golden Palace, I don't know the etiquette, it's Lu Qi who annihilates the evil, I look at it and I'm angry, how can I let him harm the country, and now I have created such a monstrous disaster, I can only die and sue long live!" Saying that, Huo Ran got up, looked around, and saw a big tree on the right, and suddenly crashed into it, this collision was very strong, if a person was afraid that he would be killed at once? Lin Qi hurriedly shouted: "No! "But it was too late.

What Lin Qi didn't expect was that the head of the person had just hit the big tree, and the whole person suddenly disappeared without a trace, and disappeared without a trace, Zhou Dian rubbed his eyes and said, "Straight lady thief, why did that ugly monster disappear?" What a fucking weirdness! ”

Lin Qi wondered how it was wrong, this person has the aura of a god, although he was also attacked in this town of confusion of yin and yang, but he was extremely powerful, he was by no means an ordinary person, who would be the god who was ugly like this? Suddenly, Lin Qi remembered the Taoist book he had read on Longhu Mountain, and he was shocked, and blurted out: "Bad senior brother, we have offended a big man!" ”

Zhou Dian said with a sigh: "That ugly monster, ugly like that, what kind of big man can it be?" ”

Lin Qi said in a deep voice: "Yisheng Thunder exorcism and evil spirits, the town house blesses the emperor!" ”

This holy name, as long as you are a person who learns the Tao, there is nothing you don't know, Zhou Dian was stunned, and asked in surprise: "You said he is Zhong Kui?" ”

Lin Qi sighed: "Besides him, who can be ugly like this?" Who else scolded Prime Minister Lu Qi? Who else died by hitting the temple? Senior brother, when you said that you were doing the Fa, you also asked for the name of this gentleman, don't you remember? ”

Zhou Dian shivered and pondered for a long time before saying, "It's him, it must be him, and others can't be ugly like this." ”

Lin Qi smiled bitterly: "It must be him, I have read his life, and he was a poor person when he was alive." ”

Ancient books record that Zhong Kui was a native of Zhongnanshan in Chang'an in the early Tang Dynasty, born with a leopard's head and eyes, an iron face and sideburns, and a strange and ugly appearance; However, he is a talented, wealthy, and romantic person, who is usually upright and not afraid of evil. In the year of Tang Xuanzong's accession to the throne, coinciding with the imperial examination in the autumn, Zhong Kui bid farewell to his relatives and friends and went to Beijing to take the exam.

Zhong Kui came to Chang'an, and saw that the capital was full of buildings and a prosperous scene, and he was very happy, so he walked around the street. He saw that there was a hexagram booth in front of him, so he walked to the stall and said, "Sir, I am a person who is rushing for the exam, you can give me a good fortune and calculate the future." As he spoke, he wrote the word "馗". Mr. Measuring Words took a closer look at the word "Kui", pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Xianggong this scientific expedition, the article will definitely take the lead, but you are unlucky, and then not only will your name fall to Sun Mountain, but also be more auspicious." Mr. Tsui paused for a moment and said: "The word Kui is nine and the first, and now the tense is in September, and if you come to take the exam, you will definitely be at the top of the list." However, this first word has been thrown aside, and I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the next few days, and it is prudent to look at the prime minister. Zhong Kui listened to it and thought to himself: The eldest husband is alive, as long as he behaves properly, how can there be a catastrophe Therefore, he didn't go to his heart, paid the silver, and left.

A few days later, Zhong Kui entered the examination room to take the exam, read the exam questions, and wrote five articles of "Yingzhou Banquet", which was praised as a "genius" by the examiner, and immediately wrote the article in one go and handed it in. When it was said that the chief examiner was Han Yu, the servant of the ministry, and the deputy examiner was Lu Zhen, a university scholar. The two looked at Zhong Kui's scroll, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they said in unison: "Wizard, genius!" This article is every word, after Li Taibai and Du Zimei! So Zhong Kui was named the first place.

Emperor Xuanzong listened to Han Yu's performance and said that Zhong Kui, the new champion, was talented, so he summoned Zhong Kui on the Golden Palace. Xuanzong saw that he looked ugly, and immediately said unhappily in his heart: "I am a scholar, all in my body, words and books, how can such an ugly person be the champion of the golden branch?" Han Yu hurriedly knelt down and said: "The advantages and disadvantages of people are not in appearance, how can the holy lord not hear Yan Ying three feet and be Qi Xiang, Zhou Chang stutters and can assist Han, Confucius judges people by appearance, loses his son Yu, and thinks twice about His Majesty." ”

Emperor Xuanzong pondered for a moment and said: "Although Han Aiqing's words are reasonable, when I was Emperor Taizong, there were eighteen scholars who went to Yingzhou to talk about the beauty. Prime Minister Lu Qi is narrow-minded, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, listened to the emperor's words, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The champion of the golden branch must be cultivated both inside and outside, and there are 300 candidates for this subject. ”

When Zhong Kui saw that this person was so confused, he couldn't help but be angry, pointed at Lu Qi and scolded: "If you are so faint in the court, won't you mislead the country?" With that, he swung his fist and hit Lu Qi. Seeing this, Xuanzong said angrily: "Bold move, dare to make trouble in the Golden Palace, take it quickly!" Zhong Kui was furious and sighed loudly: "It is difficult for a frustrated cat to learn from a tiger, and a defeated parrot is not as good as a chicken." "Anyway, hit the pillar of the Golden Palace and die.

Many years after this incident, Xuanzong said that Wuli Mountain encountered a wind and cold, and the moon did not heal, and he was bedridden during the day to recuperate, and fell asleep in a hazy mood, and dreamed that a little ghost stole Yang Guifei's incense bag and the jade flute that Xuanzong often played. Xuanzong asked who he was, so bold. The imp replied, "Well, it's called 'waste', which consumes people's belongings and makes happy events become sorrows." ”

The emperor was furious, and was about to call the warriors to capture him, when he suddenly saw a big ghost running towards him, wearing a broken hat, wearing a blue robe, and a belt around the horns, one foot was bare, and the other foot was wearing the old court boots. The big ghost stretched out his fingers and gouged out the little ghost's eyes, then split his body and nibbled it clean. Xuanzong asked, "Who are you?" The big ghost said: "The minister is Zhong Kui, the Jinshi of the South of the South, and he should be promoted to the Jinshi, but he was deposed because of his ugliness, and the minister died at the bottom of the steps." The emperor had mercy and gave me a green robe to bury me, and the minister thanked the Holy Grace and swore to remove the wasted ghosts and other demons for His Majesty. ”

After saying that, Xuanzong also woke up from a dream, and the pain that had been haunted for many days disappeared for a while. Xuanzong summoned Wu Daozi, recounted the image in the dream, and asked him to draw a portrait of Zhong Kui. Wu Daozi was edicted, and immediately conceived, and in a trance, he seemed to see Zhong Kui in front of him, so he unfolded Su Hao and waved it. Xuanzong saw that the painting of Zhong Kui was exactly the same as the image in his dream: he caught the little ghost with his left hand and gouged out his eyes with his right hand. Xuanzong was amazed at how vivid Wu Daozi's painting was, and said, "It's like you and I are in a dream." ”

Wu Daozi said: 'Your Majesty has been worried and tired all night, and because of the medication, it has affected the meal, so malaria has been invaded. Sure enough, there are evil artifacts to protect the emperor. So he knelt down and blessed the emperor with a long life. The emperor was very pleased and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold. The royal criticism said: The gods appeared in a dream, and all the diseases were cured. The heroic sweep away of demons should indeed be rewarded. So he drew a peculiar appearance and gave it to various government offices. The year-end exorcism of ghosts and monsters should be widely known in the world, so as to drive away evil spirits and calm the demonic atmosphere. Announce to the people of the world, so that all the people may know.

Xuanzong named Zhong Kui as "the holy king of the town house", criticized the world, and hung Zhong Kui's statue all year round to dispel evil charms and bless peace. Folk legend: blessed town house, only true Zhong Kui; Please Zhong Kui, you will win the list; Zhong Kui is really revealed, send us Fulu Shou Xi'an!

Zhong Kui is a heavenly master who catches ghosts, and he is also the only ghost immortal in this world, and he is not under the jurisdiction of the Yin Division of the Underworld, but he has the responsibility of inspecting the Three Realms, and he is extremely powerful, Zhou Dian thought that he had offended such an ancestor, and he was uneasy in his heart, but Lin Qi thought in his heart, even the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui fell into the Tao when he arrived in Qingshui Town, isn't that ghost doll so powerful that it is to the sky?

The two brothers had their own thoughts and were silent, and after half a sound, Zhou Dian said uneasily: "Xiaolinzi, you said that we offended that ugly ...... Heavenly Master, what should we do if he wants to trouble us? ”

Lin Qi shook his head and said: "People are Heavenly Masters, true gods, so if you can see with our juniors, I think it's probably just a punishment, and it won't be too embarrassing for us, what I think is that even Heavenly Master Zhong Kui has fallen into the way of that ghost doll, and with our brother's ability, he can be subdued?" ”

Zhou Dian replied: "That old boy has a big temper, the emperor doesn't give him an official job, he can hit the pillar of the palace to death, but we offended him ruthlessly, can he give up?" If you really want to clean up the two of us, what should we do? ”

Lin Qi saw that he didn't listen to his words at all, and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, what's the use of talking about these things now, what else can the soldiers do to block the water and cover the earth?" (To be continued.) )
