Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 479 Mingguang
Can you imagine what it feels like to have civil and military judges on both sides?

Chen Yuan is a little flattered now, Zhong Kui on the left and Cui Jue on the right, wherever they go, the wind and mist will disperse by themselves, leaving a path.

When encountering patrol ghost soldiers with green skin and thin skin, fangs and noses, they all straightly parted to the sides and bowed to salute.

It seems that no matter where you are, being an official is great.

Not long after, they arrived at a place where the outline of the city appeared in the gloomy mist. The gatekeepers were all ghosts with green faces and fangs, and they respectfully welcomed Chen Yuan in.

Once inside, the wind blows like the sun, the streets are vertical and horizontal, there are many shops on both sides, but there are white lanterns under the eaves, shining a faint green light, illuminating the faces of the shop assistants and shopkeepers. Gloomy and pale, she grinned at Chen Yuan who was passing by with grinning lips.

There were no people to be seen on the street, and occasionally one or two passed by holding paper umbrellas.

"Shengjun, is this...a ghost town?"

"Fengdu."

Zhong Kui straightened his belly, and looked around with a smile: "The Yin Division is actually the same as the Yang Dynasty, but it's all the other way around. What's alive on the top is dead below, and what's unusable on the top can flow through the bottom. If there is any change, the Yin Division will also change accordingly."

The thin old man with a short beard beside him twirled the tip of his beard and echoed, "As the sage said, the yang world is closely related to the yin division. But the same is true in the sky. The yin division handles reincarnation rewards and punishments, and the sky is in charge of the sun, moon, stars, and four seasons. , Heaven, earth and man are indispensable."

"clear."

Chen Yuan nodded in response, and could hear Judge Cui secretly telling him that there was a conflict between heaven, earth and man, and the consequences would be very serious.

After walking for a while, maybe because he was bored, Zhong Kui stepped on the ground. In an instant, more than a dozen big green-skinned ghosts with red hair and prominent eyes rose from the ground, and as if by magic, they brought three long sedan chairs, carrying three The person galloped through several streets, and stopped at a place similar to the Yangjian government office after a while.

The two ghost soldiers stepped forward to greet them, but Zhong Kui walked in front without even looking at them, and led Chen Yuan straight into the yamen. You can't go to the court in the middle, but what you can see from a distance is that the plaque hanging on it is not What Chen Yuan is familiar with is fair and aboveboard, but stern and selfless.

Partial compartment.

This place is the same as in the mortal world, a place reserved for the officials in the yamen to deal with the affairs of the underworld. The figures passing by are different from the ghost soldiers, and they all look like they were in life.

"It's here."

After passing through several houses and stopping, Zhong Kui pointed to one of them, "You go on your own, Judge Cui and I have other things to do, when you come out, we will wait in front of the court."

After he finished speaking, he left. Cui Jue smiled, raised his hand towards Chen Yuan, and followed Zhong Kui out of the courtyard.

Chen Yuanchui returned his hand, turned around and walked to the house, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in."

A familiar voice came from inside, but it seemed that Chen Yuan outside the door was not aware of it, and he regarded it as a ghost official in the yamen.

The door opened silently.

Chen Yuan stepped across the threshold, and the lights inside were brightly lit. A figure in a Taoist robe was burying his head under the lamp, correcting official documents with a brush. Only then did he notice the sound of people's footsteps, and turned his head quickly.

It was the Daoist Mingguang who died when he blocked the possessed celestial master Zhang Shuangbai.

Seeing Chen Yuan standing behind him with a smile, Ming Guang put down the brush, got up hurriedly, and raised his hands while walking, "I haven't seen you Daoist Chen for many years."

As he spoke, he took Chen Yuan's arms and looked him up and down: "With a beard, even the poor can barely recognize it."

"I'm old. Over 20 years later, I'm over fifty."

Chen Yuan did not exaggerate. At the beginning, he was already in his twenties when he entered Taoism. Six years later, he experienced the reversal of time and space through the Kunlun Mirror. In a blink of an eye, another 20 years passed. up.

But after all, he is a cultivator, and he looks like he is only in his early thirties.

Mingguang's smile never broke. After inviting Chen Yuan to sit down, he took the rattle on the table and shook it twice. After a while, a ghost soldier came in with tea. Seeing Chen Yuan holding the tea, he reminded with a smile: "This Don't really drink the tea that is out of this world."

"I know, I also changed my soul for a while."

Chen Yuan brought the tea to his pen, smelled it familiarly, a wisp of white air floated out of the cup, penetrated into his nostrils, and immediately a scent of tea permeated his nose and mouth.

"It's just a pity that it's not a physical entrance." Ming Guang laughed and put down his teacup: "Why did fellow Taoist come to Yinsi? Remember, when you came here before, time and space have not yet coincided. How has the world changed now?"

"The Daoist doesn't know?" Chen Yuan was a little surprised. It stands to reason that after the time and space overlap, the Daoist who works in the underworld should know everything.

Over there, Ming Guang chuckled, "You also know that Poverty Daoist always likes to be quiet. When he was still alive, he spent most of his time in the Tianshi Mansion to practice Taoism, and he didn't hear any changes from the outside world. Now that he's here, his habits are brought along with him." coming."

Chen Yuan nodded, and immediately talked about how she came here, and said that Zhong Kui brought him here because an old friend often talked about it, so she came to have a look.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Ming Guang stroked the table and laughed loudly, "The Holy King is really sympathetic to his subordinates, but he is telling the truth, but not only the poor one talks about it, but also one person who often comes here to chat with the poor one."

"Who?"

"You'll know later." Ming Guang counted the time, "Today he went out to work in Wushi City at midnight, and he's coming back soon. I'll send a ghost messenger to urge him."

After saying that, he rang the bell again, and the same ghost messenger came in from outside the door without any words, just handed a token to the ghost messenger, and the latter accepted the order and flew away.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan was a little curious why she didn't say anything.

"The Yin Division has its own mystery." Ming Guang explained: "All words have my own thoughts, and they are all stored in the token. There is no need for verbal instructions. The ghost messenger will know what to do after receiving the order."

"It's indeed a bit mysterious."

After the ghost messenger left, Chen Yuan talked to Ming Guang about the outside world, about the fact that the Tianshi mansion has become the way of the Tianshi, and many believers occupy the north. The time has passed, but the whereabouts of Tianshi Zhang Shuangbai and Daoist Yuchen are still unknown. Maybe they haven't appeared in this long river of time, maybe they appeared two or three hundred years earlier, and they have already passed away.

After Ming Guang listened to this in silence, he just closed his eyes and sighed softly.

After a long time, he finally said: "Everything has a cause and effect. But Feihe and Qingxu are still there, so they have left roots in the Tianshi Mansion." He smiled when he said this.

"As for the sixth-generation patriarch actually becoming a fairy in the body, it's quite good. I guess it's the fairy fruit that was supposed to be for him back then, and it was finally compensated to him. It's just that it doesn't make sense and he's crazy."

Being reminded like this, Chen Yuan also frowned.

He was so happy to see the master come back before, he forgot this detail for a while, it is really impossible for him to be in a state of madness after becoming a celestial body.

"Chen Daoyou, it's an eventful time at this time, and at a critical juncture, you have to be more careful."

Chen Yuan pursed her lips tightly, hesitated for a while, and nodded in response.It is impossible for Taoist Master Mingguang in front of him to alienate the relationship between his master and apprentice, unless there is a need to be careful.

At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind blowing outside the door.

Ming Guang laughed, "I'm back."

Chen Yuan put down the teacup, looked back, the door opened silently, and a familiar figure was walking in. Seeing Chen Yuan standing up and looking over, the visitor was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "True Monarch!"

The visitor took two steps, arched his hands and knelt down.
