the last witcher

"Okay, it's getting late, you should hurry up and get on the road." Seeing that I put away the tortoise shell, Zhong Kui reminded me to jump in line.

"Brother, the green mountains will not change and the green waters will flow forever. Let's see you in another day." I once again cupped my hands at Zhong Kui, a middle-aged man who looks bad but has a very good heart, and then I went to Nian Chu and Gui Zu The captain waved his hand, put the old man behind his back, and led everyone towards the gate guard.

It can be seen that this group of people seems to have a lot of questions to ask, but it is inconvenient to ask questions because of the noisy people here.Moreover, the ghost guards are very conscientious. Each of us has to show the certificate issued by the land father to the other party. Not to mention, according to the appearance characteristics written on the certificate, there will be a ghost guarding the city. The pawns are responsible for checking the height, weight, and facial features (fortunately, there are no measurements), and only after everything is correct, they signal us to enter the city gate.

Since I was No.1 in the team, I was the first to enter the gate of course.I thought that I would be able to see the scene of Fengdu city after entering, but I didn't realize it. After entering the first gate, there is actually a gate in front, probably because of the thick city wall.

And in the sky between the first door and the second door, there are two lights floating on the left and right.Although the number is small, it is enough to illuminate the tunnel like daylight.

Let me first talk about the lamp on my left, which can float tens of meters high in mid-air, without any auxiliary facilities, just floating there alone, emitting a dazzling light, which stabbed the eyes of all of us. pain.The lamp on the right hand side is completely opposite to this lamp, it is extremely dim, as if something is used to cover the light, preventing any light inside from being reflected, do you think this is reckless?

Seeing us souls all looking up at the two lamps in the sky, the captain of the ghost soldiers explained: "These two lamps are called Yin-Yang lamps, the one that shines brightly is called Yang lamp, and the other one is called Yin lamp. Because these two lamps are placed between the two city gates, and after entering the city, they belong to the underworld of Yin Cao, so we often call the passage we are walking now the Yin-Yang Road."

"No, Jia Shu, how much do you know about Zhong Kui?" Li Hao was not in the mood of the surrounding scenery at all, he waited for the captain of the ghost soldier to finish speaking out of politeness, and immediately asked about Zhong Kui and me.

I stopped walking, thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, Zhong Kui should be an ugly-looking candidate, but talented since childhood, well-educated and well-read poetry. , without the suave and elegant temperament of a scholar, which caused him to be discriminated against in the imperial examinations.

But Zhong Kui still relied on his extraordinary talent and knowledge, passed all the way and finally passed the palace examination (county examination: Tongsheng → government examination: student → college examination: scholar → township examination: Juren → general examination: tribute → palace examination: Jinshi), But when Tang Minghuang saw the ugly Zhong Kui, he was frightened half to death, and immediately with a swipe of a pen, he disqualified Zhong Kui's admission qualification like a child's play.It's a pity that Zhong Kui's ten years of hardships disappeared in an instant, and Zhong Kui, who has a strong personality, finally chose to smash his head to death on the Golden Luan Hall.After his death, on the road to Huangquan, the Jade Emperor was grateful for his ill-fated fate and special integrity as a scholar, so he specially approved to let him go all the way, and issued a decree, canonizing Zhong Kui as a judge who walks the yin and yang worlds.

Moreover, not long after the unjust case in the examination room, Tang Minghuang became seriously ill, and was always harassed by little ghosts in his sleep, which made him unable to sleep peacefully.One night, he dreamed that a little ghost sneaked into the palace and stole his beloved musical instrument. Not to mention, the little ghost was still screaming wildly in his palace with the musical instrument.Tang Minghuang was annoyed when he suddenly saw a blue-clothed figure descending from the sky, grabbed the little ghost, and then tore it to swallow the little ghost.Tang Minghuang woke up with a start, and the strange disease was cured from then on.Recalling that the man in blue in the dream was Zhong Kui who was killed in the palace that day, so Tang Minghuang invited court painters to draw a statue of Zhong Kui, which was hung inside and outside the palace to drive away evil spirits and ensure safety.So far, Zhong Kui became famous and became a master of ghost hunting all over the world. "

"Okay, you kid, you know a lot." Li Hao's words fully demonstrated his envy and hatred, because I said all the things that should have been said by him, I am proud.

Before I was happy, Li Hao continued to ask: "Then do you know the names of the five little ghosts beside Zhong Kui?" "These five brats were never mentioned in ", so I had no choice but to stare at Li Hao's small eyes, and said disdainfully: "Say what you want, and no one is covering your mouth."

Li Hao finally managed to win the round. With the joy of victory, like a proud big rooster, he raised his chest, raised his head, retracted his abdomen, raised his buttocks, and finally cleared his throat before explaining: "These five brats In the Yang Realm, they actually appear in the form of five bats. Because the five bats are homophonic to the five blessings, we Taoists call these little ghosts: one is longevity, the other is wealth, the third is Kangning, the fourth is good virtue, and the fifth It is said to test the end of life."

I really don't know what the other party said, and I haven't heard anyone talk about it, but it's always good to learn more, so you don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills.Just when Li Hao was poised to continue to sneer, the captain of the ghost soldiers pointed at the bright place ahead and said to us: "We are about to leave the Yinyang Road, and the front is where Yama of the Ten Temples is, are you ready?" ?”

With a cluck, Li Hao swallowed abruptly the words that came to his lips. It was obvious that this guy was holding back quite uncomfortable, and at the same time it made all of us laugh out loud, which relieved the tension. See the uneasiness and fear in the heart of Lord Yan.

After exiting the second gate, there are actually ten city gates in front of us, but this time the city wall is not towering into the sky, and the Palace of the King of Hades inside is displayed in front of our eyes through the unobstructed part of the wall.

"Which palace do we belong to under the jurisdiction of King Yama?" Nian Chu asked the captain of the ghost pawn beside him tremblingly, and saw the captain of the ghost pawn made a very helpless expression, and then shook the horned man. Big head.

Damn it, you, the captain of the ghost pawn who is in charge of escorting the souls, doesn't know where to go, what do you want those of us who are following you to do?

To say that Li Hao is still young, he does things impulsively.Seeing the ghost captain shaking his head, he immediately pointed his sword at the ghost captain's nose and asked: "What kind of international joke are you talking about? You didn't tell us that we can't return the sun after drinking the soup. Where did you go this time?" Yan Luodian doesn’t even know about it, you’re playing with us for fun, right?”
