Yan ghost

Back then when Xiang Yanchu went to hell, he saw that the people's livelihood was in decline, and even the Daoshan oil pot in his impression was outdated.

At that time, a ghost was often chased and trampled by more than a dozen iron elephants.The iron mortar was either idle, or surrounded by ghosts, each of whom was dealing with a ghost.Because there are many yin differences and few ghosts, every time a newcomer comes, it is like an evil ghost rushing to eat, and the ghosts in the yang world dare not come down at all.

Under Mi Zhu's orders, Xiang Yan repaired the rusty iron elephant.On that day, he repaired one end and was riding an elephant for a walk. He saw the three criminals in front of the big rock mountain in the distance, and was taken away by a group of underworld messengers.When the angry Tie Xiang saw the criminal, he ran wildly with Xiang Yan.

The three sinners walked into the rocky mountains one after another.After Yinchai opened the halberd, the first two said: "What are you doing, go in one by one."

The sinner who went in first trembled and knelt down with his arms crossed.When the mountain closed, there was a scream.The other two lost their souls and spread out on the ground.

There is exactly one rock between the two mountains, which did not crush the man once, but the sinner had already lost his hands and feet.He turned on his side, still wanting to live.There was another scream, and the mountain closed again.The rock cracked little by little, and finally burst and crushed.

The iron elephant rushing to the front of the mountain was stopped by the underworld guards.Xiang Yan couldn't stop, and rolled off the elephant's back.He looked up and saw a bloody hand flying out from the mountain, still trembling on the ground.He hastily hid behind the iron elephant, which stomped on all fours and yelled at the two sinners beside him.

The leader of the Yincha said strangely: "Why didn't the iron elephant step on you." Xiang Yan said: "Brother Huiyincha, I am not a sinner."

Another errand recognized him and said, "Isn't this the person who was brought back by Mi Zhu?" The leader kicked Xiang Yan when he heard it, and asked, "What were you doing there secretly just now?"

Xiang Yan explained: "Mizhu asked me to repair the iron elephant. After the elephant was repaired, I ran over by myself." The leader said: "Since the work is done, let us play with you." Live on Xiang Yan's shoulder.

Yi Yin was timid, leaned to his left ear and reminded: "This kid is a human being, and he cannot stand the punishment of the underworld.

The leader spat: "What did Mizhu think, catch someone who can't play with it." The other servant came to his right ear and said: "I heard that this person is practicing wood armor in the world, so Mizhu caught him. It is to prevent him from being a wooden doll again."

The leader's complexion darkened: "It turns out that you made us live like this." Turning his head, he nodded and said, "I remember that you worked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice before your death. Teach us how to control the situation."

The errand rubbed his hands and stepped forward, Xiang Yan's eyes darkened, and what happened next was unbearable to look back on.

Later, Xiang Yan opened his eyes, and a proboscis protruded from his side, curling him up on his back.Sinners and errants are gone.The iron elephant slowly walked back to the herd.

It was almost dusk at this time, and Mizhu should be coming back soon.Looking at the iron elephants lying all over the ground, Xiang Yan thought to himself that Mizhu would punish him for so much unfinished work.

"But I'm so sleepy..." He lay on the elephant's back, imagining that he wiped every iron elephant clean and lubricated the joints, and fell asleep without knowing it.

When he woke up again, Mi Zhu was sitting beside him wiping the halberd.Xiang Yan quietly shrank aside.

Mi Zhu snorted: "What are you doing! It's like I want to bully you. Why did you get hurt all over your body and was stepped on by an elephant." Xiang Yan said: "It's a bad job." Mi Zhu said disdainfully: "Then A group of evil spirits, even my people dare to move." So he waved his hand.

Xiangming one after another.I saw more than 20 iron elephants forming a circle, rubbing candles one by one with their noses in turn.Mizhu instructed: "Since you guys were repaired by him, return the favor and take care of him in the future."

Xiang Yan was dumbfounded.Mizhu said again: "You are very fast in your hands and feet, twenty iron elephants will work for five days at the fastest."

Xiang Yan couldn't believe it, got up and climbed onto an elephant's trunk, and rode on his back.He let the iron elephant walk around, and it was really repaired.

Seeing that Xiang Yan was facing not far away, Mi Zhu didn't know what he was doing, so he jumped onto the other elephant and said, "What are you looking at, so distracted." But when he got closer, he found that Xiang Yan hadn't opened his eyes.

He looked in the direction Xiang Yan was facing, and saw a few lines floating in the air, first outlining the shape of a square, then vaguely depicting the pillars and eaves, and finally a palace was completed.

The two rode elephants to the front of the hall.Mi Zhu first touched the bricks and tiles, they were real.I pushed the door of the hall again, but it couldn't be opened no matter what.

Xiang Yan said: "Don't try it, I didn't make it inside."

Mi Zhu asked: "What kind of spell are you using?" Xiang Yan said: "It's not a spell." Mi Zhu said: "It's not a spell? But you just didn't move, you didn't do anything." I know. I can build it just by imagining it with my mind. It has never happened in the human world. This is the haganism of the underworld.”

Mizhu thought for a moment, and said happily, "Hurry up, hurry up, use Yanshu to renovate us all, and add more torture tools." Xiang Yan closed his eyes, opened them again and shook his head.

Mizhu was anxious: "Why are you standing there?" Xiang Yan said: "But that doesn't solve the problem." Mizhu asked: "Why not?" Xiang Yan said: "Even if the underworld is renovated, ghosts won't come Yes. If I were to know that the more instruments of torture there are, the more I would dare not go with the messenger."

Mizhu said displeasedly: "Stop talking nonsense, it's because of you that the ghosts don't want to come!" Xiang Yan said: "It's not that I want to absolve myself, they don't want to come, it's because they don't want to come here to suffer."

Mi Zhu said: "According to what you mean, with dolls, ghosts should live in the human world. If the underworld wants ghosts, the underworld must be better than the human world?" Xiang Yan asked, "Why not?"

Mi Zhu sneered: "You are stupid, you, the underworld is a place to punish sinners, not for them to live." Xiang Yan said: "It is right for the underworld to punish sinners. You won’t have nothing to eat without sinners.” Mizhu said: “If you don’t pay the official salary, then we ask people for money? Ask sinners for money?”

Hearing this, Xiang Yan seemed to be enlightened, and excitedly said: "You let sinners make money and do business with others." Mizhu asked: "You mean sinners use labor instead of punishment, so that the underworld is self-sufficient?" Xiang Yan nodded.Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment, left Xiang Yan, and rode an elephant to see the King of Hades.

Mi Zhu went away for three days, leaving Xiang Yan alone.Several times, the errands passed by trying to find fault, but were blocked by the iron elephant.Unexpectedly, three days later, what Xiang Yan waited for was an exasperated Mizhu.He kicked the iron elephant away, and hurriedly rubbed the elephant's ears to comfort Yan Yan.

"what happened?"

"Hunjun Rongruo! He showed great interest at the beginning, and I discussed all the plans with him in great detail. Who would have thought that when the Ksitigarbha king came and instigated a few words, Hunjun didn't dare to do it. .I have been talking for three days and three nights, but I can't compare with the threats of the Ksitigarbha King."

Xiang Yan recalled that when he saw Yun Yu in the past, he often left in high spirits and came back disappointed, and he couldn't help sighing: "The Son of Heaven is always scrupulous." These words were not consoling, but enraged the confused candle, and pushed him away. Xiang Yan: "Which side are you standing on?"

The blueprint in his hand was scattered all over the floor, and Xiang Yan bent down to pick it up without saying a word.Mizhu looked at him pitifully, and asked in a low voice, "What is that?" Xiang Yan said, "I've been waiting for you for a few days to be bored, and I made some designs for the reconstruction of the underworld. Look at this yin wooden boat, which can carry sinners in the eight hells quickly." shuttle."

Mizhu sat on the ground, feeling unwilling.Xiang Yan said again: "Although the king of hell disagrees, can't we do it first?" Mizhu said: "If I didn't go, I would still say yes. But I have asked for instructions now, and they clearly refused. Isn't this a clear resistance to the order? ?”

Xiang Yan said: "The reason is wrong. But when the rice is cooked, they will not be able to dismantle it so easily. When we prove that Yanshu can revitalize the ghost world and the people's will, they will overthrow what they said before. of."

Seeing that the candle was shaken, he said to Yan: "Find a clean place overlooking Zhonghe, and stay by my side. I will meditate for ten days, and I will rebuild Zhonghe."

On the same day, Mi Zhu went to visit the spot, leaving Xiang Yan alone to sort out the manuscript.Soon another messenger came to make trouble and was stopped by Tiexiang.Xiang Yan didn't pay attention to it at first, but later the momentum became bigger and bigger, and it seemed that many people came.He couldn't help squatting down, peeking out through the elephant's legs.

"Mizhu was bewitched by the demon, and actually begged the King of Hades to perform sorcery in my underworld."

"Xiang Yan made puppet wooden armor in the human world and robbed us of ghosts, which made my underworld go from bad to worse. How dare you come directly to the underworld to provoke me now!"

"Even if Hades blames us for violating the law today, he will execute this person!"

"Come on, send Dashishan!"

With a few howls, the iron elephants fell one by one.Dark shadows swept across the sky, leaving only scattered blueprints.

Xiang Yan was thrown in front of the big rock mountain, and the tragic scene of a few days ago can be vaguely seen on the mountain wall.Hundreds of underworld guards shouted behind him to execute the demon master.Xiang Yan was carried into two mountains by four messengers and left behind.Then the ground shook and the mountains swayed, the two sides of the mountain quickly closed, and Xiang Yan hugged his shoulders and closed his eyes.

There was a bang, accompanied by a strong force behind him.Xiang Yan reluctantly opened his eyes and found himself rolled behind the mountain.Looking back, the halberd that he sent the candle to was bent between the two mountains.The mountain walls were separated and closed again, and the long halberds were ground into powder.

Behind him was a large army of ghosts chasing after him, and Mi Zhu shouted: "Go!" He took Xiang Yan and fled into the thorn bushes.The unarmed two were cut by thorns all the way and walked extremely slowly.

Xiang Yan imagined a sickle to cut off thorns.But this has revealed his whereabouts instead.A errand suddenly jumped out of the bushes and grabbed Xiang Yan to the ground.

"I'll poke the eyes of you demon, to see that you are still using demon magic!"

Seeing that the halberd was about to pierce his head, the ghost suddenly stiffened and fell on top of him.Behind him stood Mizhu, with thorns wrapped around his hands, and black blood flowing.

When Mi Zhu heard a large number of servants coming from behind, she pushed Xiang Yan forward and was buried by the servants in an instant.

Xiang Yan closed his eyes and concentrated, and a large bird cage slowly took shape, covering the group of servants.The underdogs stuck to the side of the cage, some shook the cage columns, and some tried to climb.At this moment, a giant hand fell from the air, picked up the cage, and threw it to the side of the thorn bushes, screaming continuously.

At this time, where the birdcage was originally, only Mizhu was left.More than a dozen long halberds nailed it to the ground, which was horrible.

After a while, Mi Zhu woke up, saw Xiang Yan turned his back to him and didn't know what he was doing, and said, "You build a coffin, and I'll put you in it and send you back. These errands are not good, I'll go and clear the judge, Change the book of life and death, and everyone will think you are dead."

Xiang Yan didn't answer, turned around and handed a whip, the thorns on the handle were smoothed away.He said: "You use this first." Mi Zhu took over and said: "It's really ugly."

Xiang Yan said: "I'll stay here to help you." Mizhu laughed dryly: "It's hard for you to stay safely in the underworld for ten days now, how can you sit there motionless and meditate without being disturbed by them." Xiang Yan asked: "Are you willing?" Mi Zhu didn't answer.

Xiang Yan said: "Didn't you say that you have always used dreams to punish sinners, and the soul can enter another soul's dream to execute punishment? I can imitate this method, hide in your dreams, teach you Yanshu, and let you build Zhonghe .”

Mizhu seemed to see hope in his eyes, but the next moment, he turned his head away and said, "No way."

"Why not?" Xiang Yan was a little confused, and suddenly smiled again: "I won't peep at your dream."

"roll!"

Although Mizhu's mouth is hard, he finally agreed to let Xiangyan Yinmeng, and built an invisible coffin to hide Xiangyan's body in it.

Ten days later, the coffin was opened, Xiang Yan opened his eyes, and smiled at Mizhu: "It's done?"

"You can see for yourself if you don't know."

Xiang Yan pretends to be a messenger, and Mi Zhu and Mi Zhu each ride an iron elephant to the foot of Dashi Mountain.At this moment, everyone is celebrating the new birth of Zhonghe.

"Is it exactly the same as the one you made in your dream?"

"good student."

"roll."

Xiang Yan giggled and said, "Your past isn't that bad." A whip fell down.Mi Zhu said: "Are you looking for death!" The two iron elephants quickly dodged to prevent Mi Zhu from hitting Yan.

"Although I'm a young man, I want to make a name for myself."

"You still say!" The two elephants chased after each other.

Xiang Yan ran away and said: "It's just bad luck, and you don't have to be cynical—" You don't want Mizhu to fly, ride on his iron elephant, and use a whip to strangle him by the throat.

"It hurts!"

"Shut your mouth if it hurts."

"Look, Zhonghe... will definitely rise from now on..."

Afterwards, Mi Zhu arranged for Xiang Yan to leave.He hired several coffin bearers and filled the coffin with dry food.

One day, the coffin fell to the ground.Counting the days to Yan, it seemed to be a bit early, and sure enough, when the coffin was opened, several smug faces were revealed.Xiang Yan shivered as he hugged the dry food.

"My lord Ksitigarbha is right. It really is a corpse fraud. It is likely that the judge collected money to change the book of life and death. Who is Mizhu trying to deceive by using this old-fashioned method in the underworld?"

So Xiang Yan was brought back by several people and executed.

"Tell me, did you bewitch Mizhu to do the matter of unity?"

"Mizhu only punished me to repair a few iron elephants, I don't know anything..."

"The mouth is still quite hard."

"It's not that I'm being blunt, it's the fact that it's true... Uh... Brother Yin, you can't torture to extract a confession..."

The clerk laughed and said, "We are not like the government servants in your world. We like to use severe torture, but we never extract confessions."

"That's great..."

"The Yin Division pays attention to evidence, and we don't want perjury. Because we have a way to get the truth."

"What way..." Xiang Yan felt guilty.

"Introduce dreams."

Xiang Yan was silent.

Yincha said again: "Whether you are a living person or a wandering soul, we can enter your dreams and see your past. Most people are not like Yinchai who can lie in their dreams. The [-] explanation in the dream—"

Just as he was talking, the errand was hit in the back by someone and fell to the ground.

"Let's go." Mi Zhu said while untying Xiang Yan.

"No." Xiang Yan said, "Ksitigarbha wants to use me to deal with you, no matter how far away I go, they will sneak into my dream one day and get evidence from you and me."

"Don't care so much, you will die if you stay."

"You remove my memory."

"What did you say?"

"Aren't you all good at errands?"

"You are stupid, then you will have to cut the skull and cut the bones!"

"The people who had accidents were mostly scared to death. I am Yanshi, just bear with it." He said and handed a carving knife to Yan. "This is only suitable, you burn it. Hurry up!"

Mizhu hesitated again and again, walked to the candlestick, raised the knife back and forth to cut off the flames, and said in a low voice: "We will meet in the future, you and I will never know each other again."

When Xiang Yan heard this, he said urgently: "Wait, can't we just remove a section?" Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "The memory of a person is like a flower, you have to uproot it, otherwise it won't be clean."

Although Xiang Yan was a little bit reluctant, he heard Yin Cha's footsteps, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it."

The next moment, several errands rushed in.At that time, Mi Zhu was holding a knife in his hand, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.He turned around, and under him was Xiang Yan, who was covered in blood.

"He, he, he was cut open..."

"It's so ruthless. In order to destroy the evidence, even my companions have done it."

Mi Zhu said: "You guys are useless to him, I can take him away." He picked up the unconscious Xiang Yan and walked out.As soon as he walked out the door, the tip of his nose became sour.
