Everything is the same as before, the ghost gate closes two copper doors several feet high, and the ghost soldiers and ghost generals stand up, since we have been troubled once, it seems that the guard is even more strict than before, and in the big open space outside the ghost gate, there are still long queues, all of them are ghosts waiting to enter the customs and be reincarnated for trial.

When I was escorted to the ghost gate, I was still begging for mercy from the white-faced Humpty Dumpty, and I only hoped that he would let me go, but I didn't know that the white fat man didn't enter the oil and salt, and I said in my heart that this is over, once I enter the ghost gate, how can there be a way back?

The four palanquin men dragged and dragged, and I couldn't consume them alone, and I was finally dragged into the ghost gate along the cracks of the two large bronze doors.

As soon as I entered the Ghost Gate, the yin qi gathered from all directions was more penetrating to the muscles and bones, the Humpty Dumpty Man was still leading the way, and the four ghosts who escorted me with chains were still silently escorting me forward, passing through the magnificent underground city tower of the Ghost Gate, in front of me was a large area of black smoke obscuring the ground and the open space, a team of ghost soldiers and ghosts stood solemnly, and a siege crossbow and city guard cannon were placed everywhere randomly, such as a barracks village that was about to go out for a bloody battle in ancient times, and suddenly I felt a murderous aura rising to the sky, which made people shudder.

Passing through the camp, and further on, I saw a zigzag overhanging stone road stretching in the endless darkness ahead, and I looked around to the left and right, and on either side of the road was a bottomless abyss filled with black smoke.

Only then did I hear the Humpty Dumpty man who walked in the front laughed evilly: "Master, stepping on Huangquan Road, it is difficult to turn back in this life." Although you have committed a serious crime, you are a person in the world after all, Cao Guan, remember your virtue in your previous life, forgive me for reminding you of two sentences......"

He raised his hand and pointed far ahead, and said: "Look ahead, at the end of the road in front of you is the Temple of the Son of Heaven, which is the place where the ten halls of Yama take turns to sit on shifts and interrogate unjust souls and ghosts, and when you arrive in front of the Temple of the Son of Heaven in a while, you will also immediately enter the temple to be tried, and decide whether you will suffer in the next life or be punished forever......"

"So what?"

Since I stepped into the ghost gate, I have been completely hopeless of begging for mercy from them, so my tone was a little unkind, and then I heard the Humpty Dumpty laugh again: "So, sir, after you are escorted into the palace of the Son of Heaven for a while, remember not to make mistakes, you must beg for mercy with kind words, otherwise, if you are sentenced to eternal life, you will not be able to turn over, I am afraid that even if you regret it when you suffer in the eighteenth layer of hell, it will be too late......"

Hearing this, I snorted coldly: "Yo, am I so guilty?" ”

"Of course there is," the Humpty Dumpty man glared back at me, and said, "The people left behind in the eighteenth layer of hell are at most unforgivable people who have committed great sins in the yang world, and if you think about how heinous the sins you have committed, you have fought against me three times and twice, this is acting against the sky, how can the Ten Palaces Yama tolerate you?" ”

Seeing that he was angry and red-faced, I laughed and replied, "Since I cannot be tolerated in the first place, what is the need for me to intercede?" ”

"This ......"

Humpty Dumpty was speechless, flicked his sleeves and said no more, but led us on.

I don't know how long I walked along the tortuous stone road, and finally passed through the black clouds and fog, and saw that the two lights gradually lit up under the obscuration of the black clouds, and went forward, a magnificent palace gradually showed its outline, and the plaque in the middle of the palace was hung high, and the three big characters of blood and blood red were written on it - the Palace of the Son of Heaven!

I looked carefully, the two doors of the hall were closed, and the hundred-step white jade stairs in front of the door were falling continuously, all saying that the white jade was flawless, but the snow-white steps of the hall in front of me were bloodstained, and there were a pair of black-armored ghost soldiers on both sides of the steps every few steps, holding swords, guns, swords, and halberds in front of the door of the Son of Heaven Hall cautiously guarded.

Seeing this, Humpty Dumpty's face that led the way suddenly crossed a trace of surprise, and we only arrived at the bottom of the steps of the Temple of the Son of Heaven, and saw Humpty Dumpty waving us to stop for a while, and then he hurried up the steps alone, at this time only heard a 'squeak', accompanied by a soft sound, two closed doors slowly opened a gap, and a red-robed judge had squeezed out of the crack in the door with a look of urgency, carrying the robe in three steps and making two steps, and ran to the Humpty Dumpty man's side, waving his hand frantically.

Humpty Dumpty asked anxiously, "Judge, how did you get so many more armor in front of the Son of Heaven's palace?" But what happened? ”

"Big deal! Big deal! ”

The judge danced with his hands and exclaimed, and said: "This time it is really a big incident, you went to the yang world to catch people without knowing it, but not long after you left, there was a lonely ghost in the Wangxiang Terrace to make a big fuss......"

"What? Lonely ghosts? After hearing this, Humpty Dumpty immediately took a deep breath and exclaimed, "How dare a lonely soul and a wild ghost make trouble in the ghost gate? Could it be ...... again"

"You guessed it......"

The judge clapped his hands and sighed: "Who else can there be, we have already found out, it is the ghost of Brother Dacheng on the Farewell Ridge outside the Ghost Gate!" ”

The judge suddenly said the words 'Brother Dacheng', and I couldn't help but be shocked, so in this way, is Brother Dacheng also in the ghost gate?

Although this pretentious Emperor of the Netherworld is domineering, he is an interesting evil ghost, who has helped us a lot before, and now when I suddenly hear his name mentioned, I feel excited from the bottom of my heart.

At this time, I heard the Humpty Dumpty man ask again: "However, during this period of time, the Farewell Ridge has been safe, why did you suddenly come to the underworld to make trouble?" Could it be because ......"

Before I finished speaking, the Humpty Dumpty man had already glanced at me, but he saw that the judge in front of him shook his head and said, "No, it shouldn't be because of this kid, we didn't leak the slightest thing about the arrest of Malacca, how could it be known by the evil ghosts on the mountain?" In short, now the Lord of Yama is furious, and he is in the main hall to punish the ghost king and ghost general on duty in the Yin Cao Difu, tsk, one by one, the adults have been beaten to the skin and flesh, and the skin is cramped, which is called a pitiful, I think you better not go in first, so as not to cause trouble......"

"So, what about him?" Humpty Dumpty asked, looking back.

Hearing this, the judge glanced at me and sighed: "Hey, now that Lord Yama is angry, he has no time to care about him, you first escort him to the prison behind the palace to await trial, and when Lord Yama finishes punishing the ghost kings and ghost generals, he will be interrogated, and he will never be spared at that time!" ”

When the judge had said this, he turned around and hurried to the door of the hall, and Humpty Dumpty hurriedly clenched his fists and shouted, 'Order,' and although he looked a little helpless, he still ordered his four palanquin bearers to drag me with chains, and hurried around the side path of the hall to the cell behind.

Bypassing the main hall, walking along the path behind the hall not far ahead, I saw a black smoke thatched house not far away, although the outside seems to be small, how do you want to push the door in to see, inside a downward staircase leads straight to a dim underground hall, enter to see, the hall is surrounded by cells with iron doors.

As soon as he saw us going down, the ghost cha in charge of the guard immediately ran over with a smile, nodded at the short and fat man, and said, "Uncle Hu, what kind of wind blew you over?" ”

And when the ghost messenger spoke, I looked at his face, and I was even more surprised, I actually recognized this ghost messenger, isn't it the eldest brother who helped Bai Wei contact Brother Farewell Ling Dacheng in the first place?

I just wanted to recognize him, but I was so frightened that I lowered my head and looked frightened, I thought about it, and it must be no good to recognize him in front of outsiders now, so I pretended not to know him, and continued to look around.

I heard the Humpty Dumpty man named Hu Shan say: "Old Liu, this person is Cao Guan, a person from the upper realm, who was sent to the underworld for trial for repeated felonies in the underworld, and you will be guarded here for the time being, you have to show me!" Before, you were responsible for patrolling outside, and occasionally you fell into the yang world to take people's fat, how did you expect that your greedy nature actually accepted bribes and was reported by your colleagues, so you were relegated to this place as a cell leader, if you don't do things well, I'm afraid that even I can't protect you, Lord Yama has to peel you and cramp......"

"What you taught, what you taught! The small ones must be carefully guarded! ”

The ghost was so frightened that his face turned gray and nodded again and again, and after Hu Hydro gave another instruction, he ordered four ghost palanquin men to escort me into a cell, and after the door was locked and checked again, Hu Hydrone took the four of them to leave with peace of mind.

Seeing that Hu Shui was gone, the ghost hurriedly wiped a handful of sweat, and turned around to leave, but I reached out from the cell and grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you pretend not to know me?" ”
