Chapter Sixty-Eight: One-Eyed
"Yu is a subordinate city of the Yin Division, and the underworld is a subordinate government hall of the Yin Division. Not all in one place. The monoculus reads.
Zhou Bai touched the stubble on his chin, he said before that he was going to find a razor, but he forgot it for a while, and now he was a little prickly, and the slight tingling sensation also made him more sober.
"I see, those reincarnated people also have to go through the underworld before they can enter reincarnation?" Zhou Bai asked casually.
"This is a secret of the yin driver, and it cannot be passed on. The tone of the one-eyed expression did not change.
Reincarnation?Hongyu suddenly looked at Zhou Bai and pursed her lips silently.
Zhou Bai felt Hongyu's gaze, and after giving Hongyu a smile, he turned around and continued to ask, "Do those ghosts on the bridge outside the city have to pass through the underworld before they can enter reincarnation?"
"Yes. Dumu did not hesitate and said immediately.
"Ordinary people have to go through the underworld to enter reincarnation, while reincarnated people don't need to do this to be reincarnated. Okay, thank you Brother One-Eyed. Zhou Bai said proudly, his tone was smug, but his eyes were paying close attention to the expression of the one eye.
........
One-eyed continued to lead the way, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Zhou Bai retracted his expression and looked at the back of Dumu thoughtfully.
There was nothing to say all the way, if Zhou Bai didn't ask questions, Dumu wouldn't say a word, and Zhou Bai, who had something in his heart, would have no time to look at the scenery of Xudu again.
Since you can't ask, then you can investigate directly. Zhou Bai said secretly in his heart.
"The judge's palace has arrived, sir, please come in. One-eyed suddenly stopped and said calmly. "Say goodbye to the one eye. As soon as the words fell, Dumu turned around and left without waiting for Zhou Bai's reaction, without dragging his feet.
Looking at the rather magnificent mansion in front of him, Zhou Bai couldn't help but sigh, the welfare of civil servants is really good, and such a mansion may not be inferior to the size of Gu Xizhi's mansion in Jinling.
"Hahaha! Brother Zhou, you're here!"
Before Zhou Bai entered the door, Judge Shen, who was dressed in a black robe, had already laughed and came out to greet him. stepped forward and gave a bear hug directly, and Zhou Bai was out of breath.
Zhou Bai slapped Shen Ju's arm again and again to admit defeat.
"Haha, it's my brother who is so excited. Lao Shenyang is just you and Lao Gu's two friends, Lao Gu is going to come to my house to visit the door, I'm afraid it will be a hundred years later. And you come from an extraordinary background, not to mention shuttling between the two worlds to visit my mansion, I'm afraid you dare to poke a hole in the sky, right?" Shen Juan put his arm around Zhou Bai's shoulders, dragged him into the mansion, looked back at the red jade who was standing with a smile, and patted his head, "Oh, forget about the red jade girl, come, the red jade girl is also invited in." When I learned that you were coming, I deliberately had the cheekiness to find spiritual fruits from all over the world, and they were all prepared for you. ”
Zhou Bai smiled bitterly: "What about me, brother?"
Shen Juan raised his eyebrows, and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Yin Si Lingguo, you are not blessed, but there are some Lingnan melons and fruits offered in the mortal world, you can eat them if you want to." ”
.......
"Thank you, Shen. Hongyu looked at the dumbfounded Zhou Bai and chuckled.
The judge's house is divided into three outs, one is the judge's lobby, the manager of the Yin God night tour and day tour, the office required area is not large, but based on the solemnity of the Yin Division, the lobby is as high as several zhang, there are all kinds of rare and foreign objects Shinto blessing, it looks extraordinary, the hall is extremely empty, only a few rows of tables in the middle, and some cases scattered on the table are all summaries of affairs from all over the world.
"I don't want to be like this, but how can I be inferior to the subordinate officials' mansions and yamen? Yin Si is the same as the yang world, the final rule, each level is divided into classes, and since it is a class, it needs to be distinguished. Shen Juan looked at the huge palace-like hall in front of him, and couldn't help but explain to Zhou Bai, "If my judge's mansion is not as good as my subordinate yamen, it will affect the majesty of my judge, and the majesty of the judge is the majesty of the Yin Division, and the majesty of the Yin Division will not allow others to offend." In addition, if the mansion is shabby, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to controlling the subordinates, and what is the sense of awe? As a superior official, if you do what the subordinate officials dare not do, it is ....... to be in awe."
"Ahem...... In fact, to be honest, I don't want to build such a big mansion, if I usually work, it is not more convenient. Shen Juan suddenly came to his senses, and for some reason he suddenly said something like that, and hurriedly remedied.
It's not that he can't say it anymore, but Shen Juan has a faint feeling in his heart that if he continues to speak, he may be in ruin! In order to avoid causing trouble, Shen Juan stopped and said nothing.
Zhou Bai saw that Shen Juan didn't want to say any more, so he changed the topic and said, "When I first came to the underworld, it really scared me, and the capital is actually the same as a city on earth. ”
Shen Juan laughed and said, "Of course." ”
"The one-eyed person sent by Brother Shen is also an interesting person, so few words, and the tone has not changed evenly, as if it is a stick reading. Zhou Bai said casually.
Shen Juan's expression immediately froze, "One-eyed, who is it?"
Zhou Bai was stunned, "Didn't you send him to wait for me on the bank of the Yellow Spring and bring me and Hongyu here?"
Shen Ju's pupils contracted, and he said seriously, "I have never sent anyone to greet you. ”
Zhou Bai looked at the door, and the person who claimed to be one-eyed had long since disappeared without a trace. Who the hell is this person?!
"What is this man's appearance, what did you ask after meeting him today, and what did he answer. Listen to me in detail. Walking into the living room of the side courtyard, after a few people were seated, Shen Juan frowned.
"Have you seen Zhou Bai?" A deep voice came from a mysterious hall somewhere, the hall was empty, and the echo lingered for a long time, adding a bit of majesty.
"Yes. ”
"What is the so-called purpose of this trip?" Crisp footsteps came from above, step by step, as if walking down the stairs with a one-eyed heartbeat.
"I don't know, Zhou Bai asked two questions about the lowly position, one is whether the reincarnated person must go through the underworld before he can enter reincarnation. The first is whether ordinary ghosts have to go through the underworld before they can enter reincarnation. The one-eyed expressionless stick reads.
"How do you answer?" the voice was already within reach, and One-Eyed was still looking down at his nose and eyebrow.
"The humble position is answered according to the truth, the first question is related to confidentiality, and the second question and answer is. One-eyed's tone didn't change. The broken pupil of the right eye is also immovable, looking downward.
"Reincarnation, reincarnation?" The voice behind him became farther and farther away with the footsteps, but it reverberated in one's ears because of the echo in the hall. "Why did they come here because their cause and effect were already over?"
Bang~~~~ The two thick doors that were several feet high slowly closed until the last ray of light disappeared into the cracks of the doors that had been closed.
One-eyed was unresponsive, like a puppet, and closed his blood-red right eye with the last light to disappear.
After listening to Zhou Bai's description, Shen Juan began to be silent, and waited for a long time until Zhou Bai's cup of fragrant tea had passed three times before he spoke.
"Brother Zhou....... You're here for the river?"
Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "No." ”
Shen Juan glanced at Zhou Bai deeply, and didn't feel that he was lying.
Searching for reincarnated people is a taboo, and many powerful people will use their supernatural powers to hide their heavenly secrets before they are reincarnated to prevent them from being discovered.
Since Zhou Bai didn't come to investigate the reincarnation of the river, Yan Jun shouldn't have stopped it, which made Shen Juan feel a little relieved.
