In the underworld and the yang world, there is a saying that there is a drumming and singing grievances, but after the drumming in the underworld, you will be tortured by the soul.

Qiu Rong didn't have time to stop it, and saw the gate of the City God Temple open, and many mud ghosts turned into yin pawns poured out from both sides.

These Yin pawns were covered in mud flowing from top to bottom, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they were wearing official clothes woven from Yin Qi.

The head of the ghosts, a mud ghost with a big fork, taller than the others, looked at them like jewels, and rebuked:

"Who is coming, and why are you beating the drums?"

Fang Ping felt that this mud ghost leader was familiar, and immediately remembered, isn't this one of the eight mud ghost statues in the side hall of the City God Temple, and one of the right-hand men of the Luoyi City God.

"My lord, Xiaomin Fang Ping has a grievance to be claimed!" Fang Ping bowed his hand and bowed.

The mud ghost leader didn't say a word, beckoned, and two mud ghost pawns stepped forward to detain him.

Fang Ping was secretly puzzled, but he didn't intend to be caught, and was about to dodge away, but heard Qiu Rong shouting: "Slow!" ”

All the ghosts looked at Qiu Rong one after another, only to see her smile at the mud ghost leader and said, "Lord Lin, this kid doesn't understand the rules, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

"It turned out to be Qiurong's sister, I said who brought him here." The mud ghost leader had appeared in front of Qiu Rong in the blink of an eye, reaching out to touch her hand. It seems that the two ghosts are old acquaintances.

Qiu Rong took half a step back, and the mud ghost leader's face stiffened: "He is not sensible, sister, you shouldn't know, if you beat the drum of this City God Temple, you will have to be beaten with a soul whip." ”

Every blow of this soul whip is a torture that hurts the soul. The souls of ordinary people are hit three or four times one by one, and they become demented. Ten strokes, and then the soul will be scattered.

Fang Ping had just knocked more than a dozen times in one go, it was really terrible!

Qiu Rong was not flustered, and slowly took out a piece of rune paper from his sleeve and handed it to the mud ghost leader, "This kid has a weak body and can't be whipped." I really have an urgent matter to see Lord Chenghuang, and I ask Brother Lin to make it convenient. ”

The mud ghost leader glanced at the bill, and his eyes lit up.

"The merit money of Huayang Cave in Maoshan Mountain, the sister is generous!"

This Maoshan faction is divided into two sects, north and south. There is a master in Huayang Cave of Nanmao Mountain who has cultivated into a ghost and immortal, and has taken a position in the underworld, and has become the general manager of the Yin banknote vault in the underworld.

Since then, the merit banknotes of Huayang Cave have become the hard currency of the underworld, especially now that the bottom is not peaceful, and under inflation, the merit banknotes of Huayang Cave are even more valuable.

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind.

As soon as Qiu Rong took out the merit banknote, the mud ghost leader immediately changed his words, and asked the left and right mud ghost pawns to retreat, and he wanted to go in to report on duty in person.

I didn't expect the style of this underworld officialdom to be so corrupt! Fang Ping looked inside from the open temple door, but could only see layers of white mist.

"Lord Chenghuang is not here, eighty percent of the judges in front of him are on errands, wait for the meeting, don't open your mouth first, don't be reckless." Qiu Rong whispered.

Fang Ping nodded, and took advantage of this gap to ask, "What did you just give him, why did you change it all of a sudden?" ”

Qiu Rong rolled his eyes and said, "You're embarrassed to say." I got that merit money with great difficulty, and this time I folded it......"

"Merit money? Is it money, wait for me to go back and burn tens of thousands of taels of paper ingots for you to compensate. Fang Ping said a little embarrassed.

"Ahh......h

It turns out that the currency used in the underworld is very different from that in the yang.

Cause and effect, merit, and human affection are the three most valuable things in the underworld.

Qiurong's merit banknote has scriptures copied by the masters of Huayang Cave, which can be carried by ghosts to eliminate disasters and solve problems, and can also be practiced with the help of the power of merit on it.

"So, I owe you a great favor. If you need it in the future, you will definitely go to the soup and fire. Fang Ping said loudly.

Qiu Rong waved his hand: "Who wants you to go to the soup and go to the fire." If it weren't for Xiao Xie's sister...... That's it, don't talk about that, it's coming. ”

The mud ghost leader floated over and said to the two, "Please follow me." "Lead the way.

Fang Ping followed behind Qiu Rong, passing through layers of white mist, and unconsciously arrived in a gloomy space.

The mud ghost leader was gone, and the white mist drifted past, and I saw a thin official sitting on the desk above, holding a pen and bowing his head to correct official documents.

He was wearing a yellow robe painted with bat patterns, with a beard of eight characters, bee-eyed mouse kiss, and a narrow hall, which looked like a treacherous feeling.

Fang Ping shook his head, reminding himself in his heart that he couldn't judge ghosts by his appearance, this judge was the existence second only to the City God in the City God Temple.

I asked him to do something, and he must not be offended.

"Who is the ...... in the hall?"

Qiu Rong said politely: "Master Hu, the Jiang family has something to ask for." ”

It turned out that the judge's surname was Hu.

"Oh, it turned out to be the Jiang family in the southern suburbs. You have done a lot of good deeds over the years, and you have accumulated a lot of yin virtues, and Lord Chenghuang often mentions your name in front of this official! ”

Judge Hu touched the goatee and smiled, but his smile was a little obscene.

"Your Excellency is overrated." Qiu Rong is neither humble nor arrogant.

Judge Hu looked at Fang Ping and asked, "Who is he?" ”

Qiu Rong gave him a look, and Fang Ping spoke: "Xiaomin Fang Ping, I've seen Master Hu." ”

"Well......" Judge Hu nodded, and suddenly remembered something, his hand shook violently, and the pen fell to the ground.

"Y-What did you say your name was? Fang Ping? Isn't it the Fang Ping in Luonan County? ”

Seeing that Judge Hu was so surprised, Fang Ping also felt strange, was he so famous?

Qiu Rong's face sank, and suddenly he remembered something, the secret way is not good, how can he forget this out.

"Back to my lord, Xiaomin is indeed a person from the south of the country."

"Your father...... Isn't it Heluo supervising the imperial history Fang Lian! Judge Hu's voice trembled a little.

Fang Ping didn't know why he was so excited, and nodded slightly.

Qiu Rong saw it in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart that this Judge Hu was going to be difficult for him, if this was the case, he would catch him and run away, and he wouldn't care so much.

Who knows, the next moment, Judge Hu jumped directly in front of Fang Ping, and a pair of skinny veterans grabbed Fang Ping's hand and said excitedly: "Virtuous nephew, Uncle Hu has finally seen you!" ”

Fang Ping was stunned. When did you have such a relative?

"My name was Hu Ping before my death, and your father Fang Lian was a classmate and friend, and I went to Beijing together to take the exam more than 20 years ago, but I was unlucky, and I encountered a thief on the waterway and fell into the water and died, and your father sent my body back to Luoyi...... Later, I took the exam of Taishan Mansion in Artemisia Mountain, but I didn't expect to pass the examination of the little official in the underworld, and I was sent back to Luoyi to work in front of the city god, until now......"

Judge Hu told the past and discussed, although Fang Ping listened to the letter and doubted, but he didn't seem to have any benefit in deceiving himself, not to mention that one person and one ghost had nothing to do with it, and if it was a lie made up, it couldn't be so complete.

"Your father asked me before leaving, if you go to Luoyi, let me take care of it...... I've seen you today, how are you doing? ”

Seeing Judge Hu's concerned look, Fang Ping was no longer suspicious, and bowed straight to him: "Uncle Hu, the little nephew really has something important to ask for!" ”

After listening to Fang Ping's talk about Ah Zheng, Judge Hu paced with his hands behind his back, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Virtuous nephew, this matter is difficult to do!" ”

"It's not a secret, this is exactly what Lord Chenghuang meant."

Fang Ping was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Judge Hu glanced at Qiu Rong and coughed lightly.

Fang Ping hurriedly said: "Uncle Hu, this Qiurong girl is my best friend, thanks to her, I can get out of the tiger's mouth......"

"......I see," Judge Hu touched his goatee and glanced at Qiu Rong meaningfully, and quipped, "Hehe, the virtuous nephew is really a blessing." ”

Qiu Rong smiled politely and didn't explain much.

Fang Ping didn't have the heart to dwell on this, and continued to ask about the inside story of this matter.
