Chapter 12: The Judge's Promise
The depths of the underworld.
In the quiet study, on a quaint white wall, there is a red round palm light, and a picture is flashing in the palm light: the huge five-element magic circle, the huge black zombie that is sealed, vibrates violently from time to time under the seal, causing the scattered five-colored beads to flicker and darken
"Cui Fujun, the matter will be handed over to you here, King Qin Guang asked me to discuss something in advance. King Yama said to Judge Cui. After speaking, I didn't see him make any movements, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into nothingness.
"Yes, my subordinates have orders. Judge Cui replied respectfully.
After a while, Judge Cui said to Zhang Qiang, "Boy, have you figured it out? Do you really want to take on this task? It is very risky, it can be described as nine deaths." ”
"Lord Judge, I have thought clearly, instead of living like this walking corpse, I have to always think that Yuqing is suffering under the Nai He Bridge, it is better to give it a go, maybe I can succeed, and I can accompany Yu Qing to old age, even if I don't succeed, I can be liberated as soon as possible, at least I can suffer with Yu Qing under the Nai He Bridge, and then reincarnate together, it is not a bad thing. Zhang Qiang said firmly.
"Good boy, I didn't misunderstand you, you are decisive, courageous, and courageous. But courage alone is not enough, as you are now, it is simply death and no life, how can there be nine deaths and one life. I'll send you back to the Yang Realm in a while, and go and learn how to use spiritual power with your elders!" Judge Cui sighed.
"But Lord Judge, I have heard my ancestor Shouqing say that those who cultivate in the human world will fly to the heavenly realm when they cultivate to the realm of heavenly immortals, and they are not allowed to stay in the human realm;
"Let me say what is good about you kid, first of all, can Hou Qing be eliminated casually? If it can be eliminated, did Nuwa Niangniang still use her strength to unite with several others to seal him with the Five Elements Formation? As long as there is still evil heart and resentment in this world, do you know that this Hou Qing is almost immortal. And then you really naively think, "The "Chosen Five" will be so bad, Nuwa Niangniang, they won't have a backhand in the first place?" Judge Cui said helplessly.
"Boy, how about making a deal with you?" Judge Cui said.
"How can the boy be virtuous, what can he do with the judge?"
"You can't say that, if you don't want to help seal the queen, I can't force it. Otherwise, it will violate the norms of "ten thousand laws and nature" in this heaven and earth. Judge Cui said.
"Alright, no further ado. You have just seen what you saw in the "Great Circle Light Technique" performed by Lord Hades, right? Now in the human world, what you now call Xinjiang Province, in that "Bagua City", the seal of the sealing Hou Qing is about to loosen, and the energy of the five five-colored divine stones is almost exhausted. By December 21 of this year at the latest, the energy will be exhausted, and then Houqing will break through the seal and endanger the world, and then it will really become the end of your world. Judge Cui said solemnly to Zhang Qiang.
"I click, it turns out that the end of the world is not groundless." Zhang Qiang said with emotion.
"Lord Judge, this time is so short, have the other Chosen Five Sons been found? I have to hurry back to the Yang Realm and learn Fu Gong Dao Technique with my master. But before I leave, can I ask you something, Your Excellency?" Zhang Qiang pleaded to the judge.
"Boy, I know what you're thinking, the other Chosen Five Sons are almost there, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, they are you and a few other people with pure fire life, respectively, and then several other people with pure five elements are: "Pure wood life, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor of Heavenly Court and **, Ji Changfeng, pure earth life, the first line of the King of Difu and Dizang, Zen Master Huiming of Jiuhua Mountain; pure water life, the descendants of the Ma family of the exorcist dragon clan, the four first sisters of the Ma family Mengyun and Youling, and the pure gold life, the twenty-eighth generation disciple of the Maoshan faction, Mao Yi." Judge Cui said in detail.
"As for what you said, I was worried that the strength of the five people was insufficient, this Nuwa Niangniang had already thought about it, leaving five identical 'Five Elements Spirit Beads' as a backup, as well as a few elixirs that could temporarily improve spiritual power. As long as you cooperate well at that time, with the help of the elixir, you will be able to seal the queen again. Judge Cui continued.
"As for what you want to plead with me, you don't have to think about it to know if you want to save your wife's soul from the wild bite of the copper snake and iron dog?" Judge Cui teased.
"Exactly, the judge is like a god. Do you think you can? I would be grateful. Zhang Qiang said in surprise.
"Think beautifully, what do you think is the place of the underworld? This journey has taken you through so many checkpoints in the underworld, haven't you seen that the souls that come to the underworld are all arranged according to the iron laws of the underworld? It is your wife Yuqing who asks to remember the memories of her previous life, so she must suffer from the wild bite of the copper snake and iron dog for thousands of years. This is because she did good deeds and accumulated a lot of merit during her lifetime, otherwise she would have suffered for thousands of lifetimes. Judge Cui snorted.
"If you want her to get rid of this suffering as soon as possible and return to Yang and reunite with you as soon as possible, go back and learn the Dao Fa from your master and elders, and then come back according to your Yang Date, that is, in December, to cooperate with other people who are pure Five Elements of Life, and cooperate with the practice of the "Heaven and Earth Five Elements Formation". By the way, it seems like it's July now, and there's not much left of your world. Judge Cui continued.
"The villain has one more thing to worry about. Zhang Qiang asked weakly.
"If you have any questions, I still have something to do. Judge Cui said a little impatiently.
"I want to ask, just now you said that my mission is nine deaths, villain, I am afraid of losing my life, so can I exchange my life for the rain?"
"Hey, you kid is worthy of doing business in the yang world, and you know how to bargain with me. Judge Cui sighed. Then he continued: "Well, just now the Lord Yama has explained, and I can agree to your request. If you want to die because of this, you can ensure that you and your wife can be reincarnated as soon as possible, and then pass on the spiritual thoughts in your mind and return them to the Wudang Sect and your master; as for you to be reincarnated and retain the memories of your life, you have to suffer from at least a thousand years of copper snakes and iron dogs, just like your wife. That's what I can do and do, and make a promise to you. ”
"I'm relieved of the villain. Thank you, Judge. Zhang Qiang said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, it's time to send you back to the yang world, on the way, I will ask my colleague, your well-known brother Zhong Kui, to give you a ride. Judge Cui said.
"Boy, follow me. I saw Judge Cui wave the judge's pen in his hand, and a red cloud enveloped Zhang Qiang and walked towards the Nai He Bridge.
"I clicked, I can actually see the legendary ghost hunter Zhong Kui, this" Zhang Qiang said secretly with excitement in his heart.
Deep in the underworld, by the bridge. "Brother Cui Jue, you're here. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to keep catching ghosts right away. Otherwise, I really want to catch up with you, we haven't seen each other for nearly a hundred years. A rough voice came. Then I saw a man with a leopard head and ringed eyes, an iron face and sideburns, wearing a red robe, a black official hat, and a strange appearance.
"Brother Zhong Kui, we are all doing things for the underworld, and there is time, as the so-called future will be long." Judge Cui arched his hand to Zhong Kui.
"What my brother said is very true. Zhong Kui laughed.
"By the way, Brother Zhong Kui, there is a little thing I want to trouble you, that is, this kid next to me needs you to take him out of the underworld and send it to Tianyi Zhenqing Palace in Wudang Mountain by the way. So just now, let the big brother wait for me for a while. Isn't this big brother, you are on the way, and I am going to the king of Yama to discuss matters soon. Judge Cui continued to bow.
"Brother, what are you talking about, it's a matter of effort. Zhong Kui smiled.
"Hey, I almost looked away, this kid is one of the five chosen ones you've been looking for, junior brother, this kid was born with pure fire." Zhong Kui asked curiously.
"Brother Zhong Kui is still so discerning, he can't hide anything from you. Judge Cui smiled.
"Okay, Brother Cui, go to King Yama quickly, leave this kid to me, and I will definitely bring it to you. Zhong Kui smiled.
"Okay, this is that kid's yang body, in this jade box, there is Brother Lao Zhongkui. Let's catch up on the old days another day. Judge Cui handed Zhong Kui a jade box and said.
After speaking, he turned around and said to himself: "It's still my brother Zhong Kui who is at ease, you don't have to listen to the orders of King Yama, you are free." Then with a wave of the judge's pen in his hand, he dodged and disappeared into the depths of the underworld.
"Hey, what's your name, boy?" Zhong Kui said to Zhang Qiang.
"Well, ah, my name is Zhang Qiang, bye, bye, meet Lord Zhong Kui. Zhang Qiang was immersed in the excitement and shock of seeing Zhong Kui, and was suddenly woken up by Zhong Kui's voice, and he stammered and trembled a little when he spoke.
"Zhang Qiang, boy, yes, is a good seedling of cultivation. I had a relationship with your ancestor back then, and his "Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword" was really good at catching ghosts and subduing demons. Haha," Zhong Kui said with a hearty smile.
"Yes, Lord Zhong Kui, have you seen me send the Qing Patriarch?" Zhang Qiang said in surprise.
"Well, okay. Let's get out of the underworld first. Your soul has been out of your body for a while. Zhong Kui responded.
Then he took out a handful of cone-shaped Zhong Kui, waved it into the air, and a piece of golden light wrapped Zhang Qiang, and walked towards the ghost gate of the underworld
