Chapter 37: Confession of Guilt
Just when Xuanyangzi left Kunlun and hurried towards the underworld, Black and White Impermanence "escorted" Cen Qing to the Punishment Division. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Soul Locking Shackles and Soul Hooking Ropes were of little use to Cen Qing, so compared to other ghosts who were dragged by the ghost pawns into the Evil Punishment Division, Cen Qing followed behind the black and white impermanence empty-handed, casually strolling around, looking really eye-catching.
Unlike the bright lights outside, the light inside the Punishment Division looked eerie, as if it could never see anything far away, except for the door open like a beast's mouth, constantly devouring the ghosts of the buildings, and the air smelled rancid and cold.
"It is our brother's duty to bring you here, wait for our own bull head and horse face to receive it, and take you to Judge Zhong to confront you. Bai Wuchang stood still under the plaque of the Punishment Division, turned back to Cen Qing and said, "The matter of you being the 'soul of the Piercing Realm' has already been reported when I came back to get the guiding light. Among the four major judges of the Yin Division, Zhong Judge is the most severe, short-tempered, and temperamental like fire, you must not look like this again when you go in, otherwise there will not only be the risk of Yongzhen Difu, but I am afraid that it will inevitably suffer from flesh and skin. β
Hei Wuchang glanced at Cen Qing, who was still looking around curiously, and couldn't help but shake his head, he admired his character of not being afraid of death, but seeing that such a person with Zhong Lingyu was about to suffer every day in the dark Lechuan River, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret like burning the qin and cooking the crane.
Cen Qing retracted his gaze to look around, pursed his lips, and nodded at Black and White Impermanence: "Thank you for the reminder." β
The guessed figure did not appear, and his expression remained as calm as ever.
After waiting for a while, a pair of bull-headed horses came out of it. Cen Qing saw this pair of ghosts and gods with livestock faces for the first time, and only felt that the eyes of the bull head and horse on both sides of the cheeks were quite weird, and there was no trace of human emotion in those eyes, although cows and horses were just ordinary in the world, but once they were connected to the body below and walked upright, they looked more terrifying than the black and white impermanence with a ferocious face, which made Cen Qing inexplicably think of the "mermaid" picture on the Internet in his previous life where the upper body was a fish and the lower body was a human.
Yes, it's netherworldly.
Niu Tou Ma Mian didn't speak, but just stood behind Cen Qing, and the water and fire stick in his hand rose horizontally, urging him to enter the yamen.
"So, take your leave. Cen Qing waved his hand at the black and white impermanence, "There is a sentence that is not lying, I am really a fan of the two of you." β
Black and white impermanence glanced at each other, and were a little helpless about her unruly character, and saw her walk in front of the bull and horse, and without even a trace of hesitation, she disappeared into the dark punishment division, and then sighed and turned to leave.
It's really an impressive demon.
Cen Qing stepped into the punishment of evil, it was still dark in front of him, and he could only hear the wails of countless ghosts and ghosts suddenly sounding in his ears, vaguely the scene of the slaughter with a short knife in his hand on the night of the Yuezhou beggars gang Xiaoyao Cave, he snorted softly in his nostrils, and then the darkness dispersed, and he saw that there was a mirror standing upright in front of him, and the mirror was like a scene replay, showing him clearly from a green snake that broke out of the egg until he was captured by black and white impermanence.
He saw the green snake swallowing Zhu Guo, saw the green snake flying into the air to meet the transformation of the thunder, saw himself standing by the waterhole, and was surprised because he had transformed into a woman, he saw the scene of killing people in a yellow dress, saw the five ghosts, saw the three puppets controlled by the fox demon Zhu Li, and even saw the star chasing who had talked to him about cause and effect, in the picture, the star chasing flew out and cut off the chain in the hands of the ghost pawn, but her original body was in Zhang Yu's hands, and it only looked like Zhang Yu's signal......
Sure enough, as she said, she couldn't do it.
However, Cen Qing was still surprised to find that there was no scene in these pictures where he met Li Zangfeng and Fahai, and it was really two great powers, and even the famous evil mirror of the underworld could not be illuminated.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
Since the crossing, this Dao and a Buddha have taken the initiative to find him back and forth, although it seems that they have met unintentionally, but in Cen Qing's heart, the intention of the two has already been guessed by him countless times.
He's just a traverser, a snake demon with a five-hundred-year-old cultivation, is it worth using two bigwigs to come in person?
One is the Yuan Infant Earth Immortal, the other is the Arhat Fruit Position, and the level he is at is all at the top of the world, but for him to bend down and pretend to be an ordinary monk, it is a gift, and it is a gift of magic, if you just appreciate his qualifications and want to be included in the door, you really can't even deceive the ghost.
Unless there is some secret in yourself.
However, Cen Qingzai carefully combed through his past and present lives, and even carefully recalled the legends and stories about Xiaoqing, but still didn't find anything that could make the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism pay attention, until Black and White Impermanence mentioned the term "Soul of Crossing the Realm" in front of him.
Although he didn't really understand the meaning of the "Soul of Piercing the Realm", and at first he only thought it was the name of the traverser in this world, but when he saw the appearance of black and white impermanence guarding and deceiving all the way, he knew that the problem was strange.
What kind of power is the soul of the Piercing Realm, which can make the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism flock to it, make Yin Si three silent, and even mention the threat of the unbelievers to Yongzhen in Lethe through the mouth of Bai Impermanence?
Is this to let yourself choose a side to believe?
ββThen hurry up and pay me the price, in fact, I am very good at buying.
"Before being in the mirror of evil, are you still thinking nonsense, recalling the scene of your evil deeds, and still don't you know repentance?"
A thunderclap-like voice interrupted Cen Qing's thoughts, and the evil mirror in front of him disappeared, and he saw that he was in a strange public hall, and there was a headless ghost kneeling not far away, the ghost's head was either in his hand or on the ground, but all of them were angry and staring at him loudly.
"I'll go!" Cen Qing was so frightened that he flashed to the side, he didn't feel it when he killed these rotten people, but this group of people turned into ghosts was really terrifying, he patted his chest and palpitated, "I almost scared my father to death." β
"Cen Qing, can you plead guilty?"
"Huh?" Cen Qing heard the prestige, only to see that behind the high table in the public court, a purple-robed judge with thick hair and an ugly face was staring at him angrily with bull's eyes.
Sure enough, he is short-tempered, and his sex is like fire, and he looks like this.
"I plead guilty!" Cen Qing said.
The judge probably didn't expect Cen Qing to answer so happily, the expression on his face was stunned for a moment, and the group of ghosts next to him immediately clamored when they heard it, some shouted for heaven and earth, some scolded Cen Qing, some complained to the judge, and some cried and begged for reincarnation...... There was a lot of noise, in short, Cen Qing didn't hear a word in his ears.
"Smack!" The purple-robed judge grabbed the shocking wood and slapped it, and immediately a bull head and horse next to him stepped forward, picked up the water and fire sticks and beat the plaintiff indiscriminately, and then returned to his original position after the whole court was quiet.
The judge looked at Cen Qing with burning eyes: "Do you know what crime you have committed?"
"I heard that it was a robbery thunder that robbed Xuanyangzi?" Cen Qing replied after thinking about it.
"That's good!" The judge raised the pleadings in his hand, and the ghost officer next to the case held it up and held it in front of Cen Qing, "Since you are willing to admit your guilt, sign and draw on it." β
Cen Qing quickly looked at the Xuanyangzi's paper, and saw the words "deliberate" and "have been plotting for a long time", and said a little speechlessly: "Can I say that I was unintentional?"
"Boldness! An unintentional sin is also a sin. The judge became angry again, the words and sentences of this paper were drafted by himself after hearing about it from Xuanyangzi, naturally full of subjective speculation and assumptions, at this moment Cen Qing had questions, although he felt that the truth might not be the plot of "the old demon used tricks to seize the real treasure of Jindan" as he thought, but he still threw down the charge in anger, "Come on, give her fifty sticks first." β
"Slow...... Don't want to fight!" Cen Qing didn't expect this guy to say that he was going to fight, and seeing that the bull heads and horses on both sides were forced up with water and fire sticks, he immediately grabbed the mimeograph in the hand of the ghost official, and pressed his handprint on the paper, "Look, I have signed and drawn the charge." β
β......β
The judge has never met such a happy person who signed and painted for hundreds of years, and the ghost official holding the paper was even more eyeballed when he saw it, only the bull head and horse face were unmoved, and continued to take turns to catch Cen Qing with water and fire sticks, Cen Qing dodged again and again and did not want to be beaten, and the group of ghosts who died in vain did not hear the verdict of their case, and cried again and again, begging the judge to immediately order Cen Qing's crime.
Above the court, there was another burst of chickens and dogs.
