۩ Volume 1 "The Return"۩ Chapter 6 King Yama
The bull's heart kept tumbling up and down, I don't know what kind of storm Cui Jue will usher in, and the pestle with a bitter face is twisting and pinching there like a complaining little daughter-in-law.
Zhong Kui on the side flashed a ray of essence in his eyes, and said in his heart that Cui Lao's cultivation had improved again, and he noticed from afar that this bull head had also drunk Hades.
However, Cui Jue asked endlessly, and then stopped paying attention to the bull's head, but focused on Xiao Youran, who was held by his side and unconscious, and swept it with his divine thoughts like Zhong Kui before, and looked carefully for a long time, before he waved his hand and shot a ghostly light directly into Xiao Youran's body, making him wake up leisurely.
Xiao leisurely opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man wearing lacquered yarn hanging down his feet on the opposite side, wearing a purple official uniform with gold trim, a round neck, narrow sleeves, and left and right slits on the side, and a goldfish bag hanging from his waist, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.
The man was tall and thin, with well-proportioned limbs, broad shoulders and straight back, and he should have been dignified, but he had an inverted gold face with square cheeks and pointed chin, long eyebrows and whiskers, a pointed nose and a wide mouth, and round eyes and ears. This soul-urging appearance and Zhong Kui's terrifying and weeping ghostly appearance on the side complement each other, and the aura generated directly changes the color of the wind and clouds, and the landslide cracks and the water flows backwards, making people go from unbearable to not daring to look directly to not being able to look directly.
A spicy and dazzling feeling arose, and tears of laughter rolled in his eyes. It is rumored that the civil and military judges of the prefecture are extremely ugly, and sure enough, this image, I will go~ The timid can be directly scared to death when he sees it.
But thinking that he was almost killed by Zhong Kui just now, his anger rose up, and he couldn't beat others, and he was about to scold, but Cui Jue opened his mouth first.
"I said Zhong Manzi, you don't know the provisions of Chapter 32 of Chapter 5 of the Yin Law of the Difu......" Cui Jue pointed and smiled leisurely and was about to hold Zhong Kui accountable, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his words.
"Don't talk to me about those useless things!Tell you Cui Lao Er, I not only beat the little ghosts, I beat Fan Wu to save me, even your broken wine was stolen by me, hehe, what can you do with me?" Zhong Kui flicked off the earwax on his fingers, pointed to the humanoid indentation on the ground and sneered.
Hearing his words, Fan Wusu and Niu Tou were stunned for a moment, thinking that the wine was obviously stolen by Yue Daring, Zhong Laosan was making trouble, how could he take the blame for him, is there any relationship between them?
But this is impossible, not to mention the difference in status, that Yue Daring didn't even have a chance to see Zhong Kui, which was really strange.
"You...... Hmph, why did they drink the wine you stole?Zhong Manzi, who are you bluffing?" Cui Jue glared at him angrily and snorted coldly.
"Do you think anyone is like you to offer that sour yellow soup as a good thing? I gave them a drink casually, what?" Zhong Kui did not hide the ridicule on his face, but his heart was cold, the residual wine in Fan Wuxu's body was shocked out by me, he could still detect it, did Shen Nian go back? It seems that he still underestimated him a little.
"Give them rewards? You have to hide them under the tree and let them find them yourself, you really know how to play!" Cui Jue glanced at him, but Niu Tou and Fan Wuxu were happy in their hearts, the third master is good, righteous enough!
"I'm willing, do you care? What the hell are you doing here, if you have a fart, let it go!" Zhong Kui said impatiently after plucking out his left ear and then his right.
"Hmph, I'm here to remind you, little ...... The person my sister has to deal with is not simple, don't be reckless when you go, be careful of being beaten to death!" Cui Jue snorted coldly.
"Don't bother with you, Zhong has his own decision. Zhong Kui looked at him with his nostrils.
"Crushing at a critical moment can save the whole body. Cui Jue looked at him a few times and threw out a black stone.
"It's over, please!" Zhong Kui took it casually, and without looking at it, he raised his hand sideways to send off the guest.
"How many halls are you going to send him to?" Cui Jue didn't pay attention to Zhong Kui, but looked at Niu Tou and asked with a smile.
"Uh, huh, send it to that ...... How about the Five Palaces?" he asked suddenly, and Niu Tou was a little unresponsive.
"If it's the Fifth Palace, let me take him over, give me this person's papers, you don't have to go in, go directly to the Appreciation Division to hand in the task, and then go to the outer city boundary river to fish out the horse noodles, alas, you move quickly, don't let him drown." That uncompetitive thing, the face of the underworld has made him lose everything!" Cui Jue said and took out another token and threw it to the bull's head.
Niu Tou was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out, it seems that the old horse has lost his way again, but how can he still fall into the river? And how can Cui Lao Er's words just now be the same as what Zhong Lao San said about me?
These two people seem to be working against each other all day long, but in fact, they are all in the same trouser leg, thinking that no one else knows, hum. He took the token and handed it over, turned around and went back to the teleportation array.
Cui Jue saw that Niu Tou was gone, glanced at Zhong Kui again, and saw that he also turned his back and explained something to Black and White Impermanence, sighed softly, waved his hand and made a cloud of gray mist wrapped in a smile and walked leisurely towards the gate of the underworld.
"Well, that...... Thank you!" Zhong Kui didn't look back, just raised the stone in his hand.
"No, it was given to you by Lord Bao. Cui Jue didn't look back, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he disappeared into the gate of the underworld with a smile and a few moves.
"Cut ......" Zhong Kui snorted, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Wrapped in the gray mist, Xiao leisurely felt like he was riding the clouds, and the scenery on both sides retreated like lightning, but there was no sound of the wind, as if this extreme speed did not come from running, but more like a short continuous space jump, and he did not feel the slightest discomfort, as if he had experienced countless times, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed.
Cui Jue also observed him in the shift, and saw that he didn't react, so he gradually weakened the concentration of the gray mist, until only a thin layer remained, and when he saw that he still didn't react, he seemed to have determined something in his heart, and his eyes also revealed a deep gaze.
The Fifth Yama Hall is located in the middle of the ten halls in the inner ring of the entire underworld, although it is not the largest of the ten halls, but it is still magnificent. What is unusual is that this hall is not a monolithic white building. The base is black, the walls are gray, the arches are red, and above the eaves are white roof and white tiles. Moreover, the cornices of the roof were normal on one side, but the other side was high up to the sky, making the whole hall look like a blood-stained guillotine from a distance.
In less than a cup of tea, the two of them had already arrived outside the gate of the Fifth Yama Palace, Cui Jue paused, raised his hand to disperse the gray mist, and smiled leisurely and landed safely.
"This ...... Master Cui, right? The guy surnamed Zhong beat me for no reason just now, can't you just say a few words about this? Are the yin laws of your underworld all decorations, why don't you even have some punishment, this is too disappointing!" As soon as he gained a firm foothold, he began to complain with a smile.
"Oh, then how do you think you should punish him?" Cui Jue looked at him with a smile.
"Hmph, at the very least, you have to compensate me for some medical expenses or something, and then punish him to clean the thatched toilets in the whole prefecture for half a month!" laughed leisurely.
"That's right, well, that's not bad, when you enter the palace, you can complain to Lord Yama about him, if the above agrees, I will punish him as you say?" Cui Jue blinked his eyes, with an expression that you understand.
"That's nature, old ...... Ben Gongzi is still afraid of him?" smiled leisurely and raised his eyebrows, I wanted to say "Lao Tzu" but suddenly felt a little vulgar, so I changed it to "Ben Gongzi" At the same time, there was a strange feeling in my heart, it seems that the word "Lao Tzu" is not commonly used by myself, but for some reason it is very familiar.
Cui Jue nodded with a smile, and walked into the fifth hall leisurely with a smile, and when he entered the door, his footsteps paused, and his divine thoughts instantly dispersed and went straight to the corner of a low building outside the hall, and turned around in the shadows as if he didn't find anything and took it back.
When they entered the hall, in the shadow that had been swept by the divine thought just now, the figure of the black-robed girl changed from blurry to solid, and after it was completely revealed, she took out the black leaf from before and began to report.
"What? Why did you send it to the fifth hall, what should Zhao Wen do with this old bastard!" the portrait projection of the leaves shouted, this time the voice was a little less lazy, more angry, and the majestic artistic conception also rose, as if there were thousands of troops rolling and ready to move.
"This ...... The subordinates don't know. The master was angry, and his subordinates went and robbed him and sent him elsewhere. The black-robed girl bowed slightly, with a slight tremor in her voice.
"That's it, now that you're in, it's useless for you to go any further, so go back and prepare for the next step. The sound of the portrait projection returned to calm and lazy, waving his hand to disperse the projection.
"Yes, master!" the black-robed girl saluted respectfully and vanished.
Xiao Youran followed Cui Jue in the wide corridor of the hall, and from the moment he entered the door, he felt that something was wrong, because the whole hall was surprisingly quiet, there was no one inside or outside the door, and even the guards didn't know where to go.
"Huh, where have all the people gone?" Standing in the middle of the empty main hall, Cui Jue seemed to be very surprised.
"It can't be too late, they're all done, right?" muttered Xiao Youran frowned.
"What's the matter, you wait here first, don't wander around, I'll go inside and have a look. Cui Jue glanced at him, and disappeared like a gust of wind after a word of explanation.
"I ......" laughed leisurely and was left in place, and it was really speechless.
Standing there and waiting for a long time without anyone coming, Xiao Youran began to feel a little depressed. Why are the people in the underworld chattering, there is no normal point, this Cui Jue said to go, and he didn't say to give me a chair, so standing is not tired?
No one saw it anyway, so I'll find a place to sit for a while. Xiao Youran thought to herself, and her eyes began to look around the main hall. But after looking around, I found that except for some bookshelves against the wall and various styles of guillotines of various sizes, the entire main hall was empty and there was not even a chair.
Only there is a common trial case in the Yamen on the top of the head, there is a red cloth between the four legs, and you can't see the situation under the case, there are documents, case files, signed slips, pen holders, and Zhu Yan on the case, but there is no shocking wood, and there is a soft-backed Taishi chair behind the case, and behind the chair is a huge screen, which is used to block the passage to the apse, and it seems that Lord Yan usually sits there to work.
Xiao leisurely tiptoed around the screen to probe his head and look around, to make sure that no one had arrived, and then came to the desk and sat on the Taishi chair and put on a comfortable posture.
Casually fiddling with the decorations on the case, smiling leisurely and the bottom of his heart blossomed, who had ever sat in the position of Lord Yama?
"Come on, this man has committed a great crime in his life, and he will not be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell quickly......"
Xiao leisurely thought of the proudness and couldn't help but learn to be a horse, put his feet on the desk and half lay in the Taishi chair, and pretended to shout, but at this moment, there was a small and rapid script sound behind the screen, and a sweet and greasy girl cheered out.
"Bao Heizi, do you dare to sneak away while Miss Ben is eating? Come out, I heard your voice, where are you still hiding!"
"I'm a good ......" was self-absorbed and laughed leisurely and was startled, and hurriedly wanted to get up, but he forgot that his feet were still on the desk, and he didn't make the chair slide back, and the whole person fell to the ground with a "bang" and went directly to the bottom of the desk.
Due to the red cloth, the light under the desk was dim, and Xiao leisurely rolled into the body like a gourd, but did not bump into the table leg, but felt that he had hit a soft mass, as if an arm was dragging his tumbling figure behind his back.
Xiao Youyou turned his head suddenly, and saw only a pair of bright eyes staring at him in the dark, and was about to make a move when he found that the arm suddenly stopped him by the waist, and the other hand covered his mouth.
"Shhhh
The eyes in the dark blinked, and the voice was a middle-aged man, and he couldn't see any appearance, only his lips moved slightly when he spoke quietly, vaguely revealing his white teeth, and he was laughing leisurely and creepy, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Bao Heizi, you come out for me!Huh? Why is no one, did I hear it wrong just now?" The girl in the black skirt had already rushed into the main hall like a whirlwind, and she just roared but didn't even see a figure, and she couldn't help but wonder.
"Hmph, isn't it just for you to stamp a seal, what are you running? If you can run, the king of Hades can't run the palace, Miss Ben is waiting here, I don't think you can get out!"
The girl in the skirt looked around but didn't find it, so she simply sat on the Taishi chair like a smile, raised Erlang's legs and muttered.
It doesn't matter if she sits here, the two people under the desk are aggrieved, there is not much space, and the two people are squeezed with their chests and backs, especially the two big men, not to mention how greasy it is.
Xiao Youran just came out of the cold sweat on his back, which was already wet and unsoaked, and suddenly felt that a hard strip-shaped object was pressed against his waist behind his back, and suddenly goosebumps rose all over his body, and he vigorously broke the two fingers that the man was covering his mouth, and whispered along the gap: "Quickly move your thing away, don't push me up!"
"Huh?" the man was amazed at how he could pry his fingers, but then he whispered, "What is that?
The depression in Xiao Youran's heart, does this guy have that dragon yang fetish, why is he still pretending to be stupid and not admitting it, it seems that he can't be honest if he doesn't give him a little ruthlessness. Thinking of this, he slapped the hard object on his waist, but the imaginary person snorted in pain but did not appear, and the hard object fell with the shot, which seemed to be not one with the person.
Wouldn't it? It's so fragile, and it's going to be cut off at once? At the moment when he laughed and thought about it, the hard object under his hand smashed on the floor and made a loud "pop", and the three people inside and outside the table were startled at the same time.
After a short period of astonishment, the whole desk was swept out by the girl in the skirt, revealing a frightened smile on the face, and he was holding a piece of shocking wood in one of his hands at the moment.
