"Emperor, wait," Piao Ranzi hurriedly said.

"Well, I haven't decided what official position I want to give you. Chu Piaoran, in this underworld, what official position are you willing to do, as long as it is not too excessive, this emperor can be the master" Emperor Xudu thought that Piaoranzi opened his mouth to ask for an official, so it was fine, as long as he was willing to be an official, he couldn't ask for it.

"Emperor Qiyu, I don't want to be an official in the underworld. Piaoranzi said.

"Then how can it be done" Emperor Xudu shook his head: "If it is spread out, doesn't it mean that this emperor knows people and does not need it, is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and it is difficult for you to do it for the sake of the righteous son." ”

"No, no, no, I voluntarily gave up my official position. Piaoranzi said. "I only have one thing to ask for, and I ask the emperor to agree. ”

"What's the matter? Just talk about it, as long as it's a matter of the underworld, I will definitely be able to do it. ”

"I had nothing else to ask for, I just wanted to see my mother, and I was satisfied. Piaoranzi said.

"What's the matter?" said Emperor Xudu with a smile. "It's been a long time since your mother died? ”

"The emperor doesn't know. Piaoranzi said. "My mother died for a thousand years. I don't know if it's still in the underworld, please look it up for the emperor, our mother and son will see each other, and there is nothing else to ask for. ”

"What, a thousand years of death?" the Emperor Xudu waited for the leopard's eyes. "I'm afraid it's not going to be easy. The souls of the dead thousands of years ago did not enter the underworld, did not serve their sentences in hell, and were already reincarnated. ”

"Please also ask the emperor to bother," Piao Ranzi said.

Emperor Xudu twisted his steel hair in his hands, was pondering, came in outside the door with a bull's head and a horse's face, two true monarchs, and a ghost pawn behind him, carrying five large boxes, placed them in the main hall, opened, and suddenly became jeweled and came into everyone's eyes.

"Emperor Qiyu, we went to the ghost house of the Great White Ghost King, confiscated all these treasures, and handed them all in, please take a look at the Emperor," said the bull head handsome.

"These are my righteous sons?" Emperor Xudu stepped down from the high platform and circled around the box: "Sure enough, it is my good righteous son" He leaned down, looked at the pile of jewels, and said to the Ten True Monarchs: "You see, these are all gifts to me from the underworld officials and ghosts, and I asked him to return them all, and this righteous son has all retired to his own home." If it weren't for Chu Piaoran's failure today, I would still be in the dark, thinking that he was a good son."

"Emperor, if it weren't for Chu Piaoran's mistake to eliminate the harm, this big white ghost king, deceived the upper and lower, I don't know when to coax you" Ma Mian said.

"Yes, Chu Piaoran should be rewarded heavily" Emperor Yudu nodded: "These treasures are filled into the treasure house of the underworld." Tell me how Chu Piaoran should be rewarded."

"Emperor, I don't want a reward," Piao Ranzi hurriedly stopped. "I just want to see my mother, and I'm satisfied, that's all"

"Well, even though it's not easy, I'm going to do my best. "Emperor Xudu said. "Niu Tou and Ma Mian, you take him to the Ten Palaces of Hades to check the whereabouts of Chu Piaoran's mother. ”

"Obey," the bull head and horse face agreed.

"Thank you Emperor" fluttered to the ground, and with his words, it would be much easier to find his mother. After saying that, I got up and walked out.

"Chu Piaoran, go slowly" Emperor Xudu sat down behind the dragon book case again, and asked left and right: "Everyone, Chu Piaoran was a city god in Shucheng, and he killed the Great White Ghost King when he first entered the underworld, and he has a great credit to Yin Si and me. Today we will be rewarded, and we will set an example for the underworld."

"Be wise to the emperor," Ma Mian said. "I have heard in the world that the power of example is endless. Our prefecture will also give Chu Piaoran a heavy reward. ”

"I think he should be a high-ranking official, at least a judge or above. "Bull Head Road.

"How's that going to work?" said Will. "Ping Chu's talent, at least be one, be a handsome, or act as the king of Hades. ”

"Thank you for your love" Piao Ranzi hurriedly stopped the conversation, he acted as the city god for a few days, and he really didn't want to serve as a ghost official. "Forgive me for being a shallow learner, and I don't know the affairs of the prefecture, and I can't take on these official positions you mentioned. ”

"Since you insist on refusing to be an official, the official position will be determined later. "Emperor Xudu said. "I will reward you with a mansion behind Yinshan and give you a wife and concubine, are you willing?"

"Thank you. Please take back the emperor's fate," Piao Ranzi excused.

"Then how about I take you to the treasure house of the underworld, where are the treasures, you can choose?" Emperor Xudu asked again.

"Money and treasures, things outside the body, I have seen countless things in my life. This is not a floating boast of Haikou, in the Pure Land of Bliss, there are mountains of treasures, and he has long been tired of seeing them. "No, I wasn't interested in these things. ”

"In this way, the official doesn't want to do it, the treasures don't want to be seen, and the mansion beauties don't want it, what do you want?"

"Again, I just want to see my mother, and it would be better if I knew my father's whereabouts. Piaoranzi said.

"You're embarrassed by the Emperor. Emperor Xudu spread his hands and said to the left and right: "Everyone, think about how to reward him." ”

"I have a solution. Weide Zhenjun said: "On the hundred gods table, there are Chu Piaoran's merits, and when he arrived at the Dating Palace, although it was a manslaughter, it was also regarded as killing the Great White Ghost King, except for a harm to the underworld, clarifying the reputation of the emperor, saving those ghosts who sent you personnel, and scolding you behind your back." I think that the red list will be posted in the prefecture, and the deeds of Chu Piaoran will be written, and he will be given an honorary title. How?"

"Okay, according to the will of the true monarch of Weide. Emperor Xudu said, he saw that Piaoranzi was about to open, and said with a smile: "You can't shirk this, rewarding you is the matter of the whole earth, you can't call the shots about this." ”

Piaoranzi was helpless. Miaoguang Zhenjun said: "Honorary titles are very important. He is a rising star of the ghosts and immortals of the underworld, I think, how about being called the Saint of Civil and Martial Arts?"

"Okay, it's called 'the civil and military saint of the underworld', the bull head and the horse face, you will order the master of the palace to transcribe the announcement and post it, and distribute it to the city gods, land, and mountain gods in various places. ”

"Obey" the bull head agreed, just about to leave.

"Wait. Piao Ranzi hurriedly grabbed him: "I only did this little thing, it is not enough to make the underworld full of storms, and then I want to send it to the world, wouldn't it be laughable and generous? ”

"Well, it's up to him. "Emperor Xudu said.

"Emperor, if you really reward Chu Piaoran, I have a way to make him beautiful. Ma Mian said.

Piao Ranzi hurriedly gave him a look, he was not a person who coveted fame, and he didn't know what bad ideas he had for this horse face.

"Please tell me that the Emperor of course really rewards him. ”

"Well, I walk on earth. Knowing that the emperor of the mortal world will reward the champion of the new department, he will praise the official for three days and travel to the palace across the horse. Can we let Chu Piaoran boast about his officials in the underworld for three days, so that all the ghosts will know that there is this ghost immortal who is both civil and military?"

"Okay, great," said Emperor Xudu. "This method is good, just according to the idea of the handsome horse. This time, he didn't wait for Piaoranzi to excuse himself, and hurriedly said: "Chu Piaoran, this emperor has made you like an earthly champion, boasting about officials in the underworld for three days, and accepting the congratulations of all palaces, palaces, and ghosts and ghosts of all palaces, and the handsome king of Yama. Don't shirk."

"Emperor, aren't I too ostentatious?" Piao Ranzi was very uncomfortable when he heard it. If you want to be the champion of the new department in the world, he will gladly accept the order, and will not shirk, today, in the underworld, the dream of the champion will be fulfilled.

"Even what" Emperor Xudu said: "This Emperor wants to be so swaggering." Chu Piaoran, don't shirk. The horse-faced handsome, you and the bull-headed handsome are responsible for the affairs of the officials, you prepare a team of drums, blow and beat for me, and let Chu Piaoran ride a big red horse and wear a big red flower, and go around the prefecture."

"Obey" Niu Tou and Ma Mian agreed, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are so beautiful, you didn't expect it, right?"

Piao Ranzi only smiled bitterly and asked, "When will you take me to find my mother?"

"Wait for three days before the official is said," said Emperor Xudu. "You ghost pawns, give Chu Piaoran a guard of honor"

When all the ghosts heard about it, as well as their errands, they had been in the underworld for many years, and they all agreed happily.

In this way, Piao Ranzi came to a side hall outside the Dating Palace, which was regarded as the temporary residence of him, the civil and military saint, and Niu Tou Ma ordered two small servants to serve him and stayed for one night.

In this earth, the night is the same as the day, there is no sun and moon, no rain or snow. The only way to tell the difference between day and night is by looking at the sky.

The sky was red for a moment, and it was the next morning. Piao Ranzi got up, the two little guys outside the room, brought him the household goods to wash, Piao Ranzi tidied up his clothes, brought the hole flute, and came outside the room.

Outside the palace, the sound of drums and cheerful tunes were played. Niu Tou and Ma Mian came in from the corner gate, and said to Piao Ranzi: "Xinke Champion, Wenwu Shengjun, please get ready outside, where do we go first today?"

"I just entered the underworld, I don't know where it is, you take me for a walk, that's it. Piaoranzi said.

"Just walk around. Ma Mian said, "I'll set a route for you, and in the past three days, I've almost finished swimming the underworld." ”

Outside the door, a group of drummers on the left, wearing one-color robes, and dozens of ghost pawns on the right, holding fans, palm fans, dragon and phoenix fans, holding gourds, axes, and kicking towards the sky. The bull head ordered the ghost pawn to bring a big red flower to Chu Piaoran. On the willow tree outside the palace gate, a tall horse with a red red head was tied and rode up
