Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Men Who Build the Road
"But please also ask my lordship for the sake of our many years of conscientious work, for the sake of catching tens of thousands of ghosts, and allow me to wait for the meritorious service of the crime!" After speaking, the three ghosts grabbed the ground with their heads at the same time.
King Yama's eyes were slightly closed, and he was silent.
The scribe stepped forward and picked up the chains of the three demons and presented them to the king of Yama.
King Yama only glanced at it lightly, and then bowed slightly.
The scribe stepped forward and announced: "You and the other three have neglected their duties and escaped from their souls, and their souls have suffered for a hundred years in the hell of a knife and saw, but I remember that you have been working hard for many years, this time I will be extrajudicial and merciful, and you will be allowed to wait for the crime to make meritorious service, and the soul Bai Xiaodou will be detained and returned within a hundred years, there must be no mistake!"
The three ghosts were overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Yan Jun!"
The life span of human beings is a hundred years at most, and now that a hundred years have been given, isn't this equivalent to saying that this matter has been revealed? The three ghosts almost saved their lives, and they almost didn't burst into tears.
King Yama suddenly asked, "Where is Bai Xiaodou now?"
The three ghosts hurriedly said: "In the realm of Baihugang, there is a demonic inn!"
King Yama frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and said no more.
The scribe hurriedly said: "What are you still doing here, don't hurry up and retreat! Don't delay the adults to handle the case!"
"Yes!" the three ghosts almost bent over and took several steps backwards before running happily.
The Senluo Treasure Hall was quiet again, and the scribe leaned over and said in a low voice, "Yan Jun is very concerned about this matter?"
King Yama shook his head slightly and said, "It's just a normal thing, but I just care a little about the place of Baihugang." ”
"What do you mean?"
"In the land of extreme yin, it is not advisable to act rashly, this king will think about it again!" King Yama said lightly: "Recently, there have been a lot of souls, so let's continue to work!"
"Yes!" the scribe turned and shouted, "Next, cloudy sky!"
Baihugang, the sky is just bright.
"Bang ......"
With the sound of a hurried gong, the door was kicked open, and a man strode in with a gong, knocking on it, and shouting, "Get up! Get up! It's time to get up at dawn! You lazy men get up quickly, and if you delay the affairs of the handyman, you will not have anything to eat for a day." ”
The room is not big, but it is full of people, and there are twenty or thirty people in a rough look, and they are snoring one after another just now, and they are reluctant to open their eyes when they are so noisy by the big man.
A man with red eyes got up, and when he saw the man holding the gong and drum, he suddenly became angry and scolded: "Ma Liu! It's you kid again! Is it interesting to be so early every time? You yourself can't be stupid and treat us all as idiots." Look at the sky, it's still an hour before you get to work! What do you mean?"
"What's wrong with an hour?" Ma Liu sneered: "To deal with you lazy people, it's better to be an hour earlier or too late! The shopkeeper has spoken, you bandits dare to attack the inn, it's like looking for death." But the shopkeeper's kindness does not want to dirty his hands, as long as you work for the inn for five years, he will let you go!
The man said angrily: "Ma Liu, although I knew for a long time that you kid was not a thing, but I didn't expect to be such a bastard! What do you call you? What do you call a thief? The people in the inn call it that, why do you come with us also call it that? Isn't it just that you are greedy for life and afraid of death and surrender early? What is there to be proud of!"
"Hey, I said Liu San! Don't be unconvinced. Brother, what's wrong with my surrender? Now you are as tired as dead dogs every day, carrying stones and scattering stones, pushing round stones to build roads. Lao Tzu just calls you early every day, cooks, and has a good meal with alternate servants every day, and can stand on top of you bastards and shit. Why can't I be complacent?"
"You bastard!" Liu San was furious, jumping up and about to throw a fist.
Ma Liu whistled unhurriedly, the white light flashed, and a white snake with the thickness of a sea bowl had appeared in front of him, the cold snake pupils stared at Liu San, and the snake core breathed from time to time, with a posture ready to pounce.
Liu San's cold sweat suddenly came down, and he didn't dare to move.
Ma Liu became proud again, and snorted: "I know that I am scared? I remember the last disobedient end? Tell you, Lord White Snake's stomach is not small, eating you is like playing!"
All the men didn't dare to make a sound, staring at the white snake and retreating cautiously.
Ma Liu smiled and said: "Tell you! Since it has been planted, you have to be honest, this inn is not an ordinary inn, more than 500 people took advantage of the night to touch in, and people were all knocked down, is it still a matter to clean up your twenty or thirty people? Honest obedience is the right reason."
Look at me, just because you have worked hard recently and made good results that far exceed those of other groups, so you have the qualifications to ask the spirit snake to cheer. The shopkeeper sent a message, saying that if I do a good job, when Lord White Snake has offspring, he will give me a spirit snake to protect me!
Liu San was frightened by the white snake when he got up, and he turned into a cold sweat and ran out. Everyone was silent for a long time, and arched their hands and said: "Sixth Master Ma, it's not good for me this time, please ask Lord White Snake to return to the position in large quantities, I'll go out to work right away!"
Ma Liu snorted, walked up to the white snake generously, bowed, and sang a promise: "Please turn around, Lord White Snake!"
The white snake bowed slightly, and disappeared in a flash.
The crowd was shocked and whispered to each other.
Ma Liu struck the gong and shouted, "What's the noise, Lord White Snake is the shopkeeper...... Forehead...... That, mounts! Psychic is a matter of course, what's there to make a fuss about! Get moving, go out and wash up your personal hygiene, the brothers outside have already prepared your breakfast!"
The eyes of the men lit up and rushed out of the door.
Ma Liu shook his head and scolded with a smile: "A bunch of hungry ghosts, when they hear about eating, they immediately feel like they have been beaten with chicken blood." ”
An older man waited until everyone was almost gone, then he stepped forward slowly, stared at Ma Liu for a long time, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Ma Liu, good job, I don't forget to take care of my brothers when I am wronged, you are a real man." ”
Ma Liu's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "What did Zhang Ye say, I'm just greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Zhang Ye shook his head and said: "What's wrong with being afraid of death, everyone is afraid of death! So in the past five years, we have to accept our fate, Ma Liu, you are good! I am not as good as you!"
"Why don't you have so much, hurry up and eat and work. If it's late, these bastards won't even give you any soup left!" Ma Liu laughed and pushed Zhang Ye out.
