You can only see it when you walk to the roadside. There are only a few flowers growing sparsely, and there are no green leaves. Although the red flowers are in full bloom and very bright, looking at them at this moment feels extremely evil. Perhaps it has something to do with the environment and mood.
Before we reached the boundary river, we saw a pair of tall black shadows floating over from the front. It was the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master.
Before I could even open my mouth when we met, Mr. Ba said with a sullen face, "Go back!"
I was stunned: "I'm already here, how can I go back without a visa?"
Master Qi said to me with an expression that was both angry and amused: "Xi Feng, you are really trying to make us two worried to death, right? The purge in the underworld has caused troubles, and it has torn apart. Even the chief executive can't control it. If you cross the river now, you will probably be killed by your enemies, and we two brothers can't save you."
Something happened in the underworld? No wonder the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon dared to make such a fuss outside. They brought scapegoats back to the underworld and even took away the souls of good people by mistake. But I'm already here, how can I go back? Besides, I can't take Yi Yumeng's ghost away, so I can't leave either.
"Seventh Master, to be honest, I am here to ask for someone..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the Eighth Master say "Pah" and said angrily: "Asshole, who do you think you are? You always come to the underworld to ask for people? The underworld was opened for your Xi family, right?"
Damn, these two sentences made my face hot, I didn't dare to look up at them. What Mr. Ba said was right, I took myself too seriously, a country bumpkin, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and came to the underworld to ask for people in my old age, really thinking that this underworld was opened for our Xi family.
The Seventh Master winked at the Eighth Master, as if blaming him for scolding him too harshly, and then he sighed and said to me, "Before we cross the boundary river, we two brothers will fight to get punished and send you back."
"Seventh Master, I appreciate your kindness. But if I don't get those two women back this time, I won't go back." I looked up and met their gazes.
"You..." Master Ba's face turned green with anger, "If you can't go back, who will protect Wei Ziling and Xiaoxue? If anything goes wrong, even your ancestors will be punished."
I was shocked. How could this matter involve my ancestor? He never told me about it. I looked at Master Qi and asked, "Really?"
The Seventh Master nodded solemnly, that was the truth.
"It's okay. The Mirror God is protecting them. You two can rest assured."
"The Mirror God needs offerings just like other gods. If you can't return to the human world in the future and no one offers it roasted chicken, it will definitely die." Master Qi shook his head and said.
What they said was not without reason. If you really don't offer it a roast chicken, it will be 200% □□. But I have such a bad temper. If I come, I will take people away. Otherwise, eight horses can't pull them back.
"It's okay. I have a brother to help take care of him. I will send him a message in my dream when the time comes."
"You're such a fool that you won't turn back until you hit the wall... Let's go, Seventh Brother, ignore him, the judge is calling us." The Eighth Master angrily pulled the Seventh Master away.
"Hey, that judge..." I wanted to ask who the judge they were talking about was, whether it was Judge Cui. But the two brothers floated so fast that they crossed the boundary river in the blink of an eye.
There are four judges in the underworld, namely, the Rewarding Department, the Punishing Department, the Investigation Department and Judge Cui. The most powerful one is Judge Cui, the number one figure in the underworld, no, the number one ghost, with the Book of Life and Death in his left hand and the Soul-Catching Pen in his right hand, which is so cool. He is also impartial and upright, and even the King of Hell, who is now called the Chief Executive, has to give him some respect.
It is said that Zhong Kui is also a judge, but his deeds are mostly legends. We country folk don't know what position he is in charge of in the underworld. I guess such a ghost must be a high position under the King of Hell.
