Chapter Twenty-Four: The Devil's Head Gold Medal

After leaving the land lord's residence, the stone monkey looked back at the towering cliff and asked the bull head: "Doesn't the land lord generally live underground?

The bull head led the monkey ghost with an iron chain, and replied without looking back: "Huaguo Mountain is an island in the East China Sea, and the bottom is the sea! Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Besides, the cliff is not as damp as underground, and it is comfortable to live in. ”

Out of Huaguo Mountain, it flew over the East China Sea and went east to the land. But the coast is deserted and wasteland.

The stone monkey opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the City God Temple that governs Huaguo Mountain? Why is there no trace of people here!"

Ma Mian explained: "The country of Aolai is only a small country, with only one royal city and a population of less than 30,000. However, the land area of Aolai is not small, and it occupies a large area of sea in the East China Sea. When you see a living person after a while, the stone monkey Taoist friend should also pay attention to hiding his figure. ”

After flying over the coastal wasteland, passing through several high mountains, and passing through a grassland, the stone monkey saw a road. After a short walk along the road, I finally saw the village. The stone monkey hurriedly cast a stealth spell to hide his figure.

This village is not large, there are more than a dozen thatched houses, and when they follow the cow head and horse face through the village, the stone monkey sees that every house here has a statue of a god. But the stone monkey couldn't recognize which god the statue was.

Niu Tou explained: "That's the Statue of Wuqu Xingjun! I heard that he has a bad temper and a big fight, and he likes to stir up trouble in front of the Jade Emperor the most! We ghosts can't afford to provoke him. ”

Who is Wuqu Xingjun? The stone monkey was completely unfamiliar and had no interest in knowing him. But for the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Court, the stone monkey still wants to know.

So the stone monkey asked, "What are the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Court?"

Ma Mian replied, "The Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Court refer to the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods that Jiang Ziya was enshrined by the Taishang Yuan Shi Edict. As for the specifics, I don't know exactly what they are. I only know that the Wuqu Xingjun enshrined in the Aolai Kingdom is the righteous god of the Eight Fighting Divisions. ”

Hearing this, the stone monkey just wanted to ask about Jiang Ziya and Taishang Yuanshi, when he heard Ma Mian say: "Proud to come to the king city has arrived!"

The stone monkey can't help but look at the city of Aolai King, the city wall is eight or nine meters high, there are two teams of soldiers standing at the gate of the city, the blue brick pavement, the road is five meters wide, and it leads to the depths of the city. The road was full of people coming in and out, and the noise was one after another, and it was very lively.

At the gate of the city, in addition to the living people, the stone monkey also saw two janitors. The two janitors were dressed in black robes, holding large knives in their hands, and their faces were hideous and terrifying.

After showing directions to a janitor, one of them led them into the city.

When the stone monkey followed the janitor and stepped into the city, the noise next to the stone monkey's ears suddenly disappeared, and the world in front of him was only black and white, and the sun and moon were not visible when he looked up, and the road was empty, and the surroundings were silent.

In this regard, the horse face and the bull head walking in front seem to have long been accustomed to it, leading the monkey ghost to continue to follow.

Soon along the road, I saw a large hall, and there was a plaque on the door of the hall, which read: Aolai National City God's Mansion. In front of the door stood two rows of ten uniformly dressed ghosts.

After leading the stone monkey and his party to the front and back of the main hall, the ghost who guarded the gate turned around and went back to the city gate.

The bull head and horse face led the monkey ghost directly to the temple gate, and the stone monkey also followed.

Walking into the temple gate, I saw that there were two large ear rooms in the hall, one with the plaque of 'Yin and Yang Division', and the other with the plaque of 'Picket Division'.

Ma Mian pointed to the ear room of the Yin and Yang Division and said to the stone monkey: "Stone Monkey Daoyou, this is the Yin and Yang Division of the Chenghuang Mansion, and there are ghosts on duty in it. You can go in and explain to him what you mean. My brothers and I can't accompany you because we still have official business. Later, we will meet at the gate of Wangcheng City, and then we will go to the Ghost Gate Pass together. ”

When the stone monkey heard the words and deeds, he thanked the bull head and horse face.

The stone monkey walked into the Yin-Yang Si Ear Room and saw that there were several rows of bookshelves inside, and there was a desk in the bookshelf. A green-robed ghost is sitting at his desk working on papers.

The stone monkey stepped forward and saluted, "Excuse me, this ghost is on an errand! ”

Hearing someone speak, the green-robed ghost put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the stone monkey, and saw that the stone monkey was actually alive, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is the Chenghuang Mansion of the Difu, why are you not a ghost here?"

The stone monkey said: "I came to apply for admission to the underworld, and I also have to tell the city god." ”

Hearing the stone monkey's words, the ghost cha was even more surprised, this application was the first time in 10,000 years, and the applicants were all powerful people who had attained the Tao and immortality! The ghost couldn't help but look at the stone monkey for a long time, so he asked the stone monkey to wait here for a while, and he went to tell the head of the Yin and Yang Division.

After a while, the green-robed ghost cha led a red-robed ghost official to the stone monkey.

The green-robed ghost almost pointed to the stone monkey and saluted the red-robed ghost official and said, "Lord Chief, this is the great immortal who applied to enter the underworld. ”

The red-robed ghost official saluted the stone monkey and said, "Please also ask this fellow Taoist to come with me to meet Lord Chenghuang." Fellow Daoists, please!"

So the stone monkey came to the main hall under the leadership of the red-robed ghost official, and saw more than a dozen green-robed ghosts in the main hall working on official documents on the desk, and a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe and an official hat was sitting on the main seat. It seems that this middle-aged man is the Chenghuang that the stone monkey is looking for.

Sure enough, the red-robed ghost official saluted the purple-robed middle-aged man and said, "Lord Chenghuang, there is now a friend who has applied to enter the underworld. Please also ask an adult to deal with it. ”

Hearing this, Chenghuang left his seat, walked in front of the stone monkey, and saluted the stone monkey: "I don't know what this Taoist friend is called?

The stone monkey hurriedly replied: "The stone monkey has seen the city god, I want to go into the underworld to see the Sansheng stone and see how my past life was! I'll thank you in advance!"

Chenghuang was a little curious, did the stone monkey just go to the Sansheng Stone to see his previous life? Just for this, he actually went to great lengths to enter the underworld! Sure enough, these powerful people who have obtained the Immortal Dao Fruit are very idle!

Chenghuang asked the stone monkey to take out the household registration certificate, and then stamped the big seal of the city god on the stone monkey's household registration certificate, and then burned incense and prayed to the emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu.

Just when the stone monkeys were bored, they looked at the murals on the walls of the main hall. Chenghuang suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed, pointed to the stone monkey's household registration certificate, and said, "Pardon!" and saw that the household registration certificate had become a ghost-headed gold medal.

Chenghuang handed the Ghost Head Gold Medal to the Stone Monkey and said, "The Emperor of the Northern Yin Emperor has already allowed the Stone Monkey Daoist to enter the underworld! This Ghost Head Gold Medal is the pardon of the Emperor of the Northern Yin Emperor." In the future, stone monkey Taoist friends can freely enter and exit the underworld with this ghost head gold medal. ”

The stone monkey took the ghost head gold medal and looked at it, only to see that the ghost head gold medal had the words 'reward good' written on one side and 'punish evil' written on the other.

The stone monkey saluted and thanked the city god.

Chenghuang assigned a green-robed ghost to lead the stone monkey out of the Chenghuang Mansion, and all the way out of the gate of the royal city.

When he left the city gate, he saw a bull head and a horse leading a monkey and a ghost waiting outside.

Seeing that the stone monkey came out, the bull head hurriedly greeted him and asked loudly, "Stone monkey fellow, have you won the gold medal for the ghost head?"

The stone monkey shook the ghost head gold medal in his hand at him.

When Niu Tou saw the ghost head gold medal in the stone monkey's hand, he immediately requested: "Please also ask the stone monkey Taoist friend to let us take a look at this ghost head gold medal!"

The stone monkey handed the ghost head gold medal to the bull head and asked, "Haven't you seen this thing on an errand in the underworld?"

Niu Tou looked at the Ghost Head Gold Medal, what did the treasure look like, and replied enviously: "This Ghost Head Gold Medal is a rare thing that is rare in the underworld! This ghost-headed gold medal can be said to be unimpeded in the underworld, except for the fact that hell cannot be entered. Even the Six Heavenly Palaces in the city of Xudu can enter as soon as they want! And it is not difficult to directly meet the Emperor of the Northern Yin Capital!"

Ma Mian also excitedly took the ghost head gold medal from the bull's head and looked at it again and again, his eyes were hot.

After a turn, the Ghost Head Gold Medal returned to the Stone Monkey's hand, and the Stone Monkey used a spell to turn the Ghost Head Gold Medal into a golden monkey hair that grew on his right arm.

Out of the Chenghuang Mansion, then the next thing is to go to the Ghost Gate.

On the way, Niu Tou explained to the stone monkey: "We will enter the underworld through the Ghost Gate Pass of Taozhi Mountain, which is guarded by the Eastern Ghost Emperor Cai Yulei and the gods. ”

Hearing this, the stone monkey couldn't help but ask curiously: "Could it be that there is more than one ghost gate, and what is this Eastern Ghost Emperor?"

The bull head replied, "There is only one ghost gate! There are a total of five ghost emperors in the underworld, and their status is second only to that of the Northern Yin Emperor. The Eastern Ghost Emperors are Cai Yulei and Shen Di; the Western Ghost Emperors are Zhao Wenhe and Wang Zhenren; the Northern Ghost Emperors are Zhang Heng and Yang Yun; the Southern Ghost Emperors are Du Ziren; and the Central Ghost Emperors are Zhou Qi and Ji Kang. ”

In this way, the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty is the boss of the underworld, so these five ghost emperors are the second of the underworld!

Along the way, I traveled during the day and at night, and it took a day and a night to finally arrive at Mt. Momochi. Ma Mian explained, "After hooking the ghost, you must rush to Wangxiangtai on the third day. So you have to hurry up along the way, and you can't delay!"

There is only a winding mountain road in front of Taozhi Mountain to move forward, and after walking along this mountain road for thousands of steps, you can see an archway, which reads: Ghost Gate Pass!

Ma Mian stopped the stone monkey who wanted to come forward to visit, and then bowed down to the archway and saluted: "The ghost sends the bull head Ma Mian to respectfully invite the eighteen ghost kings and the evil ghosts guarding the door to show up and check the road guide!"

As soon as Ma Mian's voice fell, the originally empty archway was full of ghosts, and eighteen flags were erected.

Eighteen ghosts wearing armor and holding weapons seem to be the eighteen ghost kings. And the demons look like they want to eat people.

Ma Mian immediately took out the guide from his arms and stepped forward and handed it to a ghost king.

After the ghost king looked at the guide, he let out a dull voice: "The three seals of Lord Yama, Lord Chenghuang, and Lord Yudu County are complete, you, you, you, and the three can pass." ”

After the ghost king finished speaking, he turned his head to stare at the stone monkey.

When the stone monkey saw him looking at him, he comprehended the ghost head gold medal and turned it back and handed it to him.

The ghost king saw that the stone monkey had sent a ghost head gold medal, and hurriedly took it with both hands respectfully. After inspecting it, he held it up with both hands and sent it to the stone monkey, bowed down and said, "Great Immortal, please!"

After passing through the archway guarded by the Eighteen Ghost Kings and the evil ghosts, the world turned into black and white, and it seemed that you could feel the gusting wind!

The stone monkey did not rush forward this time, but looked at the horse's face and the cow's head.

The bull head seemed to know what the stone monkey meant when he looked at them, and said, "There is no guard on this ladder, and there is a hall of impermanence above. The Temple of Impermanence is guarded by black and white impermanence. Black and white impermanence is now the leader of those of us who are scheming ghosts. They are very easy to deal with, and they usually don't get along with us. You still owe us money last time. ”

After climbing the ladder and entering the Hall of Impermanence, the black and white impermanence was only routinely checked, and then released.

This is the first time a stone monkey has seen black and white impermanence. They were as legendary, one in black and one in white, one wearing a tall hat that said 'You're here too' and the other wearing a tall hat that was 'Catching You', but unfortunately black and white are all male!

After passing the Hall of Impermanence, the stone monkey heard a gust of yin wind roaring, and this yin wind was cold and cold on his body. Of course, the stone monkey didn't feel any discomfort.

At this time, Ma Mian opened his mouth and said to the stone monkey: "When a creature who has not obtained the Immortal Dao Fruit comes here, it is easy for the spirit to be blown away by this yin wind, and thus die with a whimper. Even if the monks came here, they were blown by the yin wind, and the light ones died and the heavy ones died. ”

A short walk further on, you will see a gate pavilion with a large stone plaque erected in the door pavilion. When you get closer, you can see that the stone plaque is engraved: This Hades is also!

In this pavilion, the bull head and horse face suddenly stopped, and then let the stone monkey rest here.

The stone monkey asked curiously, "Why do we want to stop here? Aren't we all in a hurry along the way!"

Niu Tou sat directly on the ground, and while resting, he replied: "We have already passed the ghost gate, and there is Huangquan Road in front of us! Huangquan Road is not easy to walk! Haven't you heard that 'there is no inn on Huangquan Road, don't look back all the way forward!'? Even our ghosts have to rest here and then take Huangquan Road!"

In that case, let's take a break here!

Before starting to walk on the Huangquan Road, Ma Mian explained to the stone monkey: "Stone monkey Taoist, there is Huangquan Road in front of you! The reason why Huangquan Road is difficult to walk is because you cannot fly on Huangquan Road, and the road is full of potholes; second, because Huangquan Road is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts, which specialize in seducing souls; third, because Huangquan Road is full of flowers on the other side, and the fragrance of flowers on the other side will arouse people's memories, and eventually make people indulge in memories and cannot extricate themselves! Of course, these are not obstacles for Taoist friends, after all, Taoist friends have already attained Taoist immortality! But please also ask the Taoist friends to take out the ghost head gold medal, it may be useful on the Huangquan Road. ”

"What's the use of this ghost head gold medal on Huangquan Road?" the stone monkey couldn't help but ask curiously.

Ma Mian explained: "There are rumors in the underworld, for lonely souls and wild ghosts, the ghost head gold medal is like the arrival of the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty! Of course, this is all rumors, but we can give it a try." If the rumors are true, a lot of time can be saved. ”
