Chapter 487: Those Legends

"Yes, there are many, but the most common one is the one I talked about with you below. When Wu Di heard this, he said, "How did I find that I seem to have become a tool for you to pass the time? Can you have a little conscience, I am a human being, not a god!"

"Who told you to know the most? If you don't show up at such a time, do you want us to tell you stories? Everyone is the same age, you know what we know, but we don't know what you know!" Siddhartha said after hearing Wu Di's complaints.

When Wu Di heard this, he shook his head and said that every night in the past, at the top of the famous mountain in Fengdu, there were some ghosts crying bitterly, and the cry was earth-shattering, making the whole underground house unpeaceful.

The king of Hades heard the ghost crying every night, and he was very irritable, so Zhong Kui, the ghost marshal of Xuanping, went to the palace and said, "Aiqing, do you know why there are ghosts crying at night in recent days?"

Zhong Kui replied: "I have just returned from killing ghosts in the yang world, and I don't know yet. ”

Hades said: "Lone ordered you to go and check, and anyone who went up the mountain to cry will be beheaded." Zhong Kui took the order and left.

That night, Zhong Kui came to the top of the mountain with his sword, and saw that in the hazy night, some ghosts gathered on the edge of the cliff and wailed loudly, one by one, listless, sad, and distracted, crying so uncomfortably, as if someone had died. Zhong Kui was puzzled, raised the Qingfeng sword and shouted: "In the middle of the night, why did you run to the top of the mountain to cry for no reason?"

When Zhong Kui saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel heavy. Pointing to a weeping ghost who bowed his head and sobbed, he asked, "Why are you sad and weeping?" The ghost cried, "Back to my lord, the little man was a farmer in his life. Because his wife is sick. The villain goes to the market town to grab medicine. In a daze, he was killed by a mine. ”

"Life and death are fateful, you don't complain about the sky. ”

"The villain doesn't complain about the sky, he doesn't complain about the earth, he only complains about his own bad life. finally married a daughter-in-law, and after only three years of affection and love, yin and yang were separated, and I don't know if her illness has been cured, which is really worrying when I think about it. It's not sad. ”

"A husband and wife are a hundred days of grace, and loving couples cannot be separated. It's human nature that you think of your daughter-in-law. Zhong Kui put down the sword he had raised, and was very embarrassed in his heart: if he wanted to punish these weeping ghosts, they had no cause and no sin, and if they were not treated, they would indeed cry annoyingly. He groaned for a long time, then put away his sword.

After walking a short distance, I saw a female ghost with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, banging her head against the rock wall. While crying loudly. Zhong Kui couldn't bear it anymore at the moment, and stepped forward and asked, "Why are you crying here?"

"Miss my daughter. ”

"Where is your daughter now?"

"In the sun. ”

"Flesh and blood. The essence and blood are connected, how can you not want to. Zhong Kui nodded, and suddenly felt pity.

He walked around the mountain for a long time with his sword, and asked several weeping ghosts in succession, who either thought of their children or their parents. They came to the underworld, because they missed their homeland, missed their relatives, they were depressed all day long, they didn't think about tea and dinner, they heard that the cliff edge at the top of the famous mountain could look at the sun, so they took advantage of the dark night to run up the mountain, who knew that the yin and yang were separated by a piece of paper, let them look through the autumn water, cry and break the soft intestines, in front of them except for a vast sea of fog, where can they see the shadow of their relatives? So they couldn't help but cry sadly.

Zhong Kui listened, his heart was very uncomfortable, like a stone hit into the heart, flooding layers of waves, thinking: since that day farewell to his parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, to the capital Chang'an to take the exam, met the traitor Lu Qi, he was angry, he killed himself in the Jinluan Palace, was named the god of exorcism by Emperor Xuanzong came to Fengdu City, and traveled all over the world to kill demons, unconsciously ten years have passed, and I have not seen my family, I don't know what happened to them. Thinking that day, my father sent himself to the ten-mile hillside, told him a thousand times, and said goodbye with tears, maybe he was still looking forward to his news! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad and wet my clothes with tears.

"Marshal Zhong, this ghost slipped out of the ghost gate without permission, and wanted to escape back to the yang world, and the king of Yama ordered it to be taken to you for treatment. A ghost reported.

Zhong Kui came back to his senses and saw two ghost guards standing in front of a young female ghost, the female ghost had a haggard face, and when he saw Zhong Kui, he was not afraid, he just lowered his head and cried.

Zhong Kui asked, "Why did you run away?"

The female ghost replied, "I want to go back to the sun to see my parents." ”

"If you are a ghost, why do you think of mortals? ”

"My parents are almost seventy years old, middle-aged and have children, it is not easy to raise me, an only daughter, raising children and daughters to send them to the end, who knows that the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, I am dead, and my parents still don't know how to cry to death. You know, I'm only 28 years old. ”

"The laws of the underworld are strict, and if you escape from the ghost gate without permission, aren't you afraid of being punished in the underworld?"

"As long as I can see my parents, I am willing to go to the eighteenth layer of hell. As he spoke, he began to cry again.

Zhong Kui suddenly felt very sad, as if something was biting his heart, waved his hand, and said, "You go."

The two ghost pawns watched from the side, and they both felt a little inexplicable, and hurriedly said: "She should be severely punished for violating the Yin Law, if the Yin Tianzi knows"

Zhong Kui said: "Yan Jun, I have to explain!"

Zhong Kui came to the Son of Heaven Palace, and when King Yama saw his melancholy face, he was very puzzled, and asked, "Why are you depressed when you are sent to kill ghosts?"

Zhong Kui handed over the sword and said on the ground: "Long live, the minister is incompetent, please send another god." ”

King Yama said: "Aiqing came to the Netherworld Mansion, he has always been quick and serious, slaying demons and demons, and making great achievements, he has never retreated, and he is also the king's most proud assistant, but what happened today? Why is it like this? Is it that I have given you too many tasks? Or I will send someone to assist you?"

"Your Majesty, this time I really can't obey my fate, and I am willing to be punished. Zhong Kui was entangled in his heart when he heard this, his mind was full of the pictures he saw, and he couldn't stand it in his heart.

"Could it be that Aiqing has encountered something difficult?"

Zhong Kui suddenly hugged his head and cried, tears gushing up. Seeing this, the king of Hades was even more confused, and for some reason, he stepped down from the throne, helped Zhong Kui up with both hands, and said warmly: "Although Aiqing has something to say, if there is a loss of words, I will never blame you." ”

Zhong Kui wiped his tears and said in a trembling voice: "Those ghosts who came to the underworld are sad and crying because they miss their relatives in the yang world, how can they be ruthless......? I am incompetent, so I have to ask Banzai to remove me from my post as Marshal of the Flat Ghost!" (To be continued......)
