Chapter 392: Yongle Emperor Enters the Netherworld (Side Story)

"Dad, it seems that you have a lot of grudges!"

Looking at the smug dad, the old man couldn't help but be surprised.

"Hehe, not to mention the enmity of life and death, it is also to the point where we can't look at each other when we meet."

Stretching out his hand to take off the official hat on his head, Lao Zhu sat cross-legged on the seat of the carriage and explained to the old man: "We, the imperial families, will all be meritorious and responsible after coming to the Netherworld. ”

"But the problem is that there are more monks and less porridge, we just told you about the netherworld, a radish and a pit, and it will not drive a position for thousands of years."

"Everyone is the emperor, if it is not a particularly outstanding contribution, it is rare that they will be directly assigned to positions from above, and most of them have to rely on fighting."

"And the high-level members of the Netherworld are only arsoning fires and not putting out fires, and whenever there is a vacancy, they will be put down directly, and then let the major forces and major families compete."

"But there are rules in the netherworld, and you are not allowed to use force when competing."

Lao Zhu spread his hands, "Don't let me use force, then there is no way, we old guys can only take credit." ”

"Let's not say anything else, let's drive out the Tartars and restore the merits of the Han family's clothes, which is also among the top among many emperors, but in the end, when the comparison is over, the remaining few people have similar credits, so there is no way, it can only be compared to other things."

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu gritted his teeth fiercely, "Those bastards may not be able to compare with us, so they will play tricks on their family background." ”

"Mother's one is more shameless than the other, we are from poor peasants, this is more than a ball with them."

Seeing that the old man was so resentful, the old man frowned.

"Dad, then why don't you ask for anything else."

Lao Zhu snorted twice when he heard this, and said angrily: "This is not to blame the First Emperor, when he left the Netherworld and went to other realms to be a realm of ghosts and gods, he said that in order to ensure the unity of the people of Shenzhou, the content of the competition must be a minority and obey the majority. ”

"Damn, just this one proposal, how much loss Lao Tzu suffered."

The more Lao Zhu spoke, the more angry he became, and finally glared at the old man and said: "If you become a ghost and god in the world, you will gather all the families and set a rule. ”

Looking at the father's child-like expression, the corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly.

It seems that for so many years, my father has been bullied by those guys, otherwise he would not have said such angry words.

"Okay, Dad, don't worry, if there is a real chance, I will definitely change this rule."

Hearing his son's assurance, Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he noticed that his son's eyes kept looking out of the carriage, and he understood that his son had come to the Netherworld for the first time, and was very curious about anything here, so he explained it to him with a smile.

"This place sounds terrifying, in fact, it is no different from the real court, the upper layer is in charge of the middle level, the middle level is in charge of the lower level, and the lower level is in charge of ghosts, the only difference from reality is that the ghosts here have more abilities, and their living habits have changed a little."

As he spoke, he pointed around and said, "You see, except for the skin color and appearance, the people here are actually no different from when they were alive. ”

"People have yang longevity when they live, and they also have yin longevity when they die."

"Yin Shou is not consumed, it is not allowed to be reincarnated, of course, you must have Yin virtue in you, or someone on it to help you, you can reincarnate whenever you want, and you are all good people."

"As for those who don't have Yin De to accompany them, and there is no one above, then they will only be escorted to the Nai He Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, and then thrown into the reincarnation passage."

"As for what kind of reincarnation it will become, it depends on its own meager luck and yin virtue."

"Good ones can be reincarnated as adults, and if there are more of them, they can also devote themselves to the rich and noble eunuch family and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth."

"And those who have poor luck and bad morality, or are directly negative, will not only have to serve their sentence in 18 hells, but they can only be cast into the lower three realms of the animal path."

"And once you devote yourself to the lower three realms, if you want to be reincarnated as a human again, it will take dozens or even hundreds of lifetimes of accumulation."

"Dad, did they burn the money from above?"

When Lao Zhu gave his son the rules for the operation of the netherworld, the old man accidentally saw a ghost, took out some copper coins, and bought something from a vendor.

As an emperor who is most sensitive to finance and something, he immediately thought of the question of the origin of these money.

"Hehe, reality burns, that's pure foolishness."

Hearing his son ask this question, Lao Zhu glanced at Bai Wuchang in front of him, and his face flushed slightly.

I think that when he first went to the netherworld, he was also curious about this question and asked Bai Wuchang.

Walking next to the carriage, Bai Wuchang, who heard this, subconsciously glanced at Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu's eyes widened, Bai Wuchang smiled, and turned his head to look ahead.

"Ahem..."

With a dry cough, Lao Zhu lowered his voice and said: "The money spent by the Netherworld is said to be money, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is Yin De, which is the cost of reincarnation that we just told you." ”

"The so-called yin virtue is some good deeds that people do when they are alive, and because they do not meet the requirements of merit, they are transformed into yin virtues."

"And when these yin virtues reach the netherworld, they become the money used by ghosts."

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, in this place, in addition to power, there is enough yin virtue, which can also make you live very comfortably, and even choose a family born in the future."

"In addition to their own yin virtues, there is also a part of the tribute paid by their mortal relatives and descendants in the future generations."

"When worshipping the relatives of the mortal world and the descendants of the future generations, if they are sincerely filial and nostalgic, there will be a part of the yin virtue on their body, which will be transmitted to the netherworld through the medium of burned paper money, and used by the ghosts here."

"I see, so to speak, there is still a certain use for burning paper money."

After listening to his father's explanation, the old man nodded suddenly.

"It's really useful, but it depends on the reality of the relatives and future generations, if it's completely perfunctory, then the paper money burned is purely for yourself and others to see, there is no use, the people below should suffer or the same."

"Judge Zhu, we've arrived at the place."

While the two were discussing the issue of burning paper money, the marching procession, under the watchful eyes of many ghosts on both sides of the street, came to a magnificent palace.

Knowing that he had arrived at the place, the old man looked up and saw the plaque on the magnificent gate in front of him at a glance.

"Yinji!"

"Let's go, don't look at it, there is time to look back, let's go to Cui Juan to report first, and then he will lead you to see Yin Tianzi."

got out of the carriage, and under the salute of the ghost clan guarding the door, Lao Zhu pulled the old man and strode into the Yin Division.

While walking, Lao Zhu also explained in a low voice: "When you see the characters and Yin Tianzi inside, you must be polite, respectful, and don't put on any emperor shelves." ”

"Although you have a lot of credit, but your identity is still undecided, and you are angry here, they will not do anything to you in the face of the Yin Tianzi, but if you offend the Yin Tianzi and anger his old man, even if you have great merit and merit, no one dares to say anything if you arrange for you to go to the street to sweep the road."

The old man knew that this was because his father was afraid that he would be used to being the emperor, and he would put up a stand when he saw anyone, so he gave a special explanation.

"Don't worry, Dad, my son is provincial, and when I see Yin Tianzi when I turn back, I will see him as if I saw you."

Lao Zhu, who was walking on the side, stumbled when he heard this, turned his head and slapped the old man hard.

"You stupid, Lao Tzu asked you to be polite and respectful, I didn't let you be a grandson to others, such a big person, what kind of person has not been seen, you just communicate with him normally."

"If the posture is too low, he will be looked down upon, and if he is looked down on at that time, maybe the position arranged will be worse."

"Oooh!"

The old man hurriedly nodded, and at the same time complained in his heart: Good guy, I originally said to treat him like you, this is the attitude of being a son, but you actually want me to be a grandson for him, Dad, you are exposed.

"Judge Cui... Cui Juan... In the absence of... We're coming for you, we're coming for our son. ”

Ignoring the old man with a strange expression next to him, Lao Zhu pulled him and walked into a yamen with a big grin, shouting loudly before he entered the door, obviously very familiar with the people inside.

"Come on, I said Zhu Chongba, anyway, I'm also your superior, and when you enter my yamen, you can't report it."

The old man who followed his father into the yamen, followed the sound and saw a man in Tang Dynasty costumes, holding a book in his hand, walking out angrily.

Obviously, the other party was either working or reading a book just now, and Lao Zhu's big shout disturbed the other party.

"Hey, who is with whom, you told me at the beginning that there is no superiority or superiority, only brotherhood."

Seeing that the main owner came out, Lao Zhu smiled, sat on the table next to him, unceremoniously picked up the teapot on the table, and poured tea for himself, completely looking like he had come to his own home.

"Alas!"

Cui Juan shook his head helplessly, and no longer paid attention to Lao Zhu, and looked at the old man who was standing and waiting next to him.

"You are Zhu Chongba's son!"

"Zhu Di meets Judge Cui!"

The old man politely bowed his hand, completely obeyed the father's orders, and was polite when he saw people.

Cui Juan smiled and nodded, and at the same time dodged the half-salute sideways.

He had a duty and needed to accept this half of the courtesy, and as a human race, he admired the old man's actions very much, so he turned sideways and avoided half of it.

"Respectfully the Book of Life and Death!"

After the two greeted each other, Judge Cui asked the old man to sit aside and wait, and he came to a row at the main table and bowed.

As Judge Cui's words fell, a colorful light suddenly emanated in front of the spiritual seat, and then a roll of simple bamboo slips exuding Taoist rhyme appeared in front of the eyes of the three of them.

Looking at the bamboo slips that were caught by Judge Cui's hands, the old man blinked suspiciously.

"It turns out that the book of life and death is a bamboo slip, I thought it was a book."

"It's indeed a bamboo slip, and only the copy in the hands of the judge is a book."

Hearing the old man's whispering, Judge Cui, who took the book of life and death, explained with a smile.

Then I saw him unfold the bamboo slip and take a slight look at the old man, and the simple words popped out of the bamboo slip.

These words are very strange, and none of the old man knows them, but these words fall into his eyes, but he understands in his heart what they mean.

"Zhu Di, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, was born in ......"

At the moment when the words appeared, Judge Cui began to read aloud.

And I don't know when, on the originally empty chairs around the old man, figures appeared.

Lao Zhu, who was originally sitting on a chair drinking tea, didn't know when he had already stood up and stood behind a black shadow.

“…… Today, he died of illness. ”

The content of the text that gradually emerged is very detailed, from the birth of the old man, to the rebellion and becoming the emperor, and even how many people were killed, why did they kill people, and how much land was laid, what achievements were made for the common people in the world, how he died in the end, and when he died, all of which are clearly recorded.

The old man who heard the other party read it out sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, people are watching the sky, hiding from others, but they can't hide from the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhu Di's life has been read out, do you have any questions."

Closing the bamboo slip slightly, Judge Cui arched his hand to the nine figures sitting in the chair.

Hearing Judge Cui's words, the old man saw that there were already people sitting around, and there was another person standing next to him, and it was obvious that he was occupying the other party's position.

"This palace king is very sorry, Zhu didn't notice you just now, please take a seat quickly."

He actually snatched the position of the king of the palace of the underworld, and the old man was afraid for a while.

Just now, my father told him not to offend people, but the result was good, this has not even started, and he has offended a palace king.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm not tired of sitting every day, Emperor Di has been tired all the way, and it is natural to rest more."

The palace king didn't know that he had a good temper, but he was still very optimistic about the old man, smiled and waved his hand casually, and even invited the old man to continue to sit down and rest.

The old man sat down and hurriedly shirked it.

In the end, the two of them gave in for a long time, and the king of the palace next to him, who didn't know which hall it was, was a little impatient, and said directly, "Everyone is very busy, don't delay the time." The old man and the palace king stopped because of this, and the palace king standing next to the old man did not shirk it, nodded to the old man, and sat on the chair.

These ten palace kings came over, but in fact, it was just a formality.

When Judge Cui asked again, the ten palace kings glanced at each other, nodded, and disappeared from their positions.

"Daddy, that..."

Seeing that the king of the ten halls came inexplicably and left inexplicably, the old man looked at Lao Zhu with a puzzled expression.

"Shh

Lao Zhu made a silent movement, glanced at Judge Cui, who didn't seem to see their small movements, and whispered: "Liu Pei, that little gangster, is his godson, and we don't have a good relationship with the Liu family, you come down from above, and you are about to become a high-level in the future, he will definitely be unhappy in his heart." ”

The old man nodded suddenly.

He said, the other nine palace kings looked at him very kindly, but the one who spoke just now looked at him really had something wrong with his eyes.

Here's the emotional reason.

It wasn't until this moment that the old man completely understood that the water in the Netherworld was also very deep.

"Okay, I'm just going through the motions here, as for what position you can get, it still needs to be decided."

Sending the book of life and death back, Judge Cui walked up to the two of them with a smile, stretched out his hand and said: "Let's go, Yin Tianzi is still waiting for you, you have to behave well later, your father is still waiting for you to make him beautiful, but don't be favored by Yin Tianzi because of poor performance, and send a useless little position, so you will make Daddy Bai excited for so long." ”

"Hmph."

When Lao Zhu on the side heard this, he snorted twice, "If he gets us a useless little errand back, Lao Tzu will directly press him into the 18th layer of hell and let him live happily for a few years." ”

The old man instantly had a black line.

This is really a real father!
