41. Dungeon
"Do you know that your father blocked the City God Festival once in February of the first year......
Fang Ping nodded: "It's true, how can you ......?"
Judge Hu sighed: "This is the matter that offended Lord Chenghuang." ”
Fang Ping's heart sank.
It's really a big living person smashing the temple and offending the ghost.
"This broken incense is like killing parents." Judge Hu said worriedly, "Lord Chenghuang has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on your father, but he has official luck before, so he can't help it." ”
Hearing this, Fang Ping felt even more anxious.
When his father had an official body, the ghosts and gods were easy to change, but now that his father seems to have lost his official position, isn't that ......
"But don't worry, this city god is also in charge of Luoyi's affairs."
Judge Hu continued: "He originally meant to use you to get angry and let the mud ghosts catch you, but for some reason he didn't find your people. ”
Fang Ping nodded, secretly thinking that maybe it was because of the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, so Pure Zi and the land god of Luo Nan couldn't figure out his traces before.
"Now I can only take your servant to vent a bad breath."
As soon as Judge Hu's words came out, Fang Ping suddenly became angry.
"How can it be!"
"This City God Lord is the god lord of the underworld, how can he be so public about personal vendetta!"
"Be quiet, what are you yelling so loudly for!" Judge Hu made a boo gesture and continued to break the news, "Mrs. Chenghuang has a vicious dog who likes to play tricks on the living. Your servant was caught up by the vicious dog, and he jumped into the river and lost his life, so that the city god would turn a blind eye so that the mud ghost could detain his soul and torture him......"
"Where are you going!"
Seeing that Fang Ping was angry, Judge Hu ran outside and quickly pulled him down.
Fang Ping's eyes widened angrily and said, "Where is the city god, I'm going to go to him to reason." ”
Looking at his eyes, I am afraid that it is not reasonable, but like killing ghosts.
Judge Hu said "ouch": "Virtuous nephew, you really don't want to die!" ”
"Then the city god caught your servant to learn your whereabouts, didn't you throw yourself into the net!"
"It's time for you to be lucky, you came to meet me tonight, otherwise you would have been detained by Lord Chenghuang!"
Fang Ping took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and looked at Judge Hu with a hopeful gaze: "Uncle Hu, how can I rescue Ah Zheng?" ”
Judge Hu frowned and said, "People can't be resurrected after death. He's now detained in a dungeon, guarded by the mud ghost general under the throne of the City God, and I can't do it......"
"But he died unexpectedly, and he was killed, how can there be such an unjust thing in the world!" Fang Ping clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"What about dying unexpectedly? As the saying goes, the king of Hades told you to die on the third watch, and you must not leave anyone until the fifth watch. Fang Ping, listen to Uncle's advice, how far to run. As long as you leave Luoyi, they can't do anything about you. ”
Judge Hu patted Fang Ping's shoulder, sighed again, and said, "Lord Chenghuang still doesn't know about my relationship with your father, otherwise I will be unlucky." ”
Fang Ping's heart was agitated, and Qiu Rong also silently tugged at his sleeve, reminding him not to be impulsive.
"Uncle Hu, don't worry, I will not affect you."
Fang Ping made a gesture and said calmly: "But can you let me see him." ”
Seeing Judge Hu's embarrassed look, Fang Ping said again: "If it doesn't work, it's okay, Uncle Hu is benevolent to us." ”
"Alas, what did the virtuous nephew say! Without your father's righteous help, I would still be a dry bone in the river now. ”
Judge Hu pondered: "It's not difficult to see each other...... But don't come nonsense! Otherwise......"
Fang Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed his hand again: "Thank you, Uncle Hu!" ”
Judge Hu twisted his beard and smiled meaningfully.
Under Judge Hu's arrangement, Fang Ping and Qiu Rong infiltrated the dungeon of the Nether Realm together, which was equivalent to a transit station for souls.
After death, the city god will let the mud ghosts detain the soul of the person and put him in a dungeon to be kept awaiting trial. After the trial of the city god, he marked it with the mark of the underworld and sent it to Lu Yin, and then handed it over to the underworld to escort him to the underworld. Only when you enter the ghost gate can you become a "ghost".
Fang Ping had seen this information from the Yin Mountain Secret Method, so he was anxious to rescue Ah Zheng's soul before it was branded, so that he could be reborn in this gap.
As soon as I entered the dungeon, I saw that the forest was gloomy and gloomy, and the sound of resentment and sobbing was endless. The door of the dungeon is carved with a scorched ornament, and a large empty chair sits in front of the door.
There was originally a mud ghost general who was guarding the door, but now he was invited by Judge Hu to drink, leaving only the mud ghost pawn on duty.
Fang Ping was about to step forward with Judge Hu's warrant, but was stopped by Qiu Rong.
"Young Master Fang, have you thought clearly?" She looked left and right, and lowered her voice very low, almost close to Fang Ping's ear, "That Judge Hu is not a good stubble, is he really your father's old acquaintance?" ”
Fang Ping knew that Qiu Rong didn't trust Judge Hu, after all, he was so attentive as soon as he looked at him, and his words and deeds were indeed a little suspicious.
"Who said I trusted him?"
He wants to see Ah Zheng, and Judge Hu is willing to help him, no matter what the purpose, this is the best way at the moment.
Qiu Rong nodded and said, "It seems that you are not confused yet." ”
Fang Ping stepped forward and showed his handifold, and the Yin pawn immediately opened the door and let them in.
It can be seen that the status of this Judge Hu in the City God Division is indeed not low.
The dungeon resembles the sun, with walls of gray rock and black iron bars enclosing caves, and the spirits inside are either shackled or chained.
These souls are no different from those in life, but their expressions are extremely lonely, or they are covered with filth, and their color is a little gray, and they look ethereal, as if they will disappear at any time.
Fang Ping knew that this was because they had just left the physical body, less than seven days old, they could neither be ghosts, nor had they yet escaped from the ignorance of death, and they were weak because of the lack of yin qi.
Fang Ping walked in the narrow passage looking for Ah Zheng's shadow, and one of them was particularly special.
Inside, a disheveled woman, with her hair disheveled, and a large, hairy white dog tied to her side with a chain.
Fang Ping suddenly remembered the story he had heard in the prison of Luonan County before, could it be the woman and the dog?
Without time to investigate, he continued to the end of the dungeon, only to find a gray shadow locked in a dark cavern.
He was cold and gloomy, with some water plants hanging from him, and the water on his clothes was dripping down.
"Ah Zheng!"
Fang Ping shouted excitedly at him, but he didn't react at all.
Qiu Rong tugged at his sleeve and said, "Right now, his soul has not yet condensed, and his consciousness is chaotic, you can't wake him up." ”
Fang Ping couldn't help but feel sad when he saw him like this, obviously after falling into the water and dying.
"Your life is so miserable!"
With a sigh, Fang Ping took out the Fire Dragon Sword and "clanged" twice against the iron fence.
Qiu Rong hurriedly stopped it, but it was too late, the fire dragon sword was not only sharpened like clay in the yang world, but it was also the same in the underworld.
The iron fence was split open by him, and Fang Ping strode into it, wanting to hold Ah Zheng's soul, and the tentacles were a piercing cold ice, like a burst of cold mist.
"How so?"
Qiu Rong sighed: "Life and death are not up to people. You've gotten into a lot of trouble by breaking the iron fence, so let's get out of here. ”
Fang Ping looked at Ah Zheng, who looked distracted, his brows furrowed, and he was silent for a long time, as if he had made a decision, and his expression became resolute again.
"What are you going to do!"
In Qiu Rong's exclamation, the Fire Dragon Sword in Fang Ping's hand had already broken the iron cable that held Ah Zheng in place.
"You, you're going to rob the prison?" Qiu Rong's face turned whiter.
Fang Ping nodded silently, looked at Qiu Rong and said, "Miss Qiu Rong, I am responsible for this matter alone, it has nothing to do with you, you should leave quickly!" ”
After speaking, he picked up Ah Zheng's fluttering soul on his back, and since he was also a yin body, he could naturally come into contact with the spirit body.
Qiu Rong looked at Fang Ping with a resolute face, and some of the past that had already been sealed couldn't help but come up.
Alas, it would be nice if that person had such a responsibility as you!
She sighed silently in her heart.
"You can't take him away like that."
After speaking, Qiu Rong grabbed Fang Ping's hand and silently recited a spell, and the three figures disappeared into the dungeon together.
The next moment, they were back on the ground.
"Qiurong, you ......"
Fang Ping didn't expect that Qiu Rong would help him rob the prison, this is a big crime!
Qiu Rong waved his hand, frowned, and said, "Do you think I can get rid of it?" Anyway, meeting someone like you is really bad luck for eight lifetimes! ”
Having said that, she still took the initiative to help Fang Ping lure Ah Zheng's soul back to the shore of Luoshui.
Ah Zheng's body is still here, she wants to give Ah Zheng a soul!
