Can't Save the World by Pretending to be Dead

On a cold autumn night, the moonlight is desolate.

The bone-chilling cold wind blew into the small and old Wendi Temple, like a sharp ice knife, making Lian Xi, the only mortal present, shiver slightly.From the corner of his eye, Ji Chen was keenly aware of Lian Xi's shrinking of his neck. Without thinking too much, he stretched out his hand and gently led him in his direction.

Lian Xi was startled slightly, and looked up at him.

Jichen also bowed his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows calmly: You are welcome.

Lian Xi: "..."

Pushing away the man's hand, Lian Xi looked calm: "You're cold." Stay away from me.

Ji Chen: "..."

The bodies of ghosts and gods are like dead bodies, extremely cold and without warmth.At this moment, Lian Xi was already so cold that goose bumps appeared on his arms, so of course he didn't want to get close to the ice.

Just when Lian Xi was about to take out his mobile phone and take a taxi home, suddenly, a cold hand grabbed him.The body paused, and Lian Xi subconsciously raised his head to look at the man beside him. The next second, his gaze fell into a pair of dark and deep eyes.The man looked at him silently, although the temperature of his hand was cold, but his heart beat inexplicably.

...Didn't you just say that you are cold.

But what's more, he actually didn't want to break free.

The mental hesitation and the physical refusal were at war in the heart, and after a few seconds, the latter won a complete victory.Lian Xi was ruthlessly about to shake off the ice scum again, but at this moment, a burst of hot temperature suddenly came from the place where the skin touched.

"???"what's the situation?Lian Xi looked at Jichen in astonishment.

Ah!In the dark night, the handsome man snorted softly: "It's just a spell, it's nothing to worry about."

Lian Xi: "..."

Judge Cui who was watching from the side: "..."

No, please return my book of life and death to me before playing!

The northwest wind whizzed into the small temple, whizzed into Judge Cui's cool heart.

Judge Cui is suffering.

In the last second, he was relieved and accepted the fact that the goddess in his dream had become the subordinate of the dead fat man licking the dog. In the next second, the treasure was gone, and he was beaten and scolded by someone he couldn't even beat... this person who really dare not scold superior!

Who can be as miserable as him?Career and love are not going well, for a while, Judge Cui is filled with grief and indignation, and seems to die together.He looked at Jichen angrily, his eyes were red, and before he could speak, Jichen noticed his gaze, raised his head and said, "What's the matter?"

Judge Cui flattered him instantly: "Of course it's fine! If you want the book of life and death, my lord, it's reasonable. After all, this thing doesn't belong to the subordinates, and the subordinates are just in charge of it."

Seeing Judge Cui's apologetic smile, Jiang Gui was speechless and rolled his eyes.

However, after all, Judge Cui has been the steward of the underworld for thousands of years, and he was a civil servant who was very good at speaking during his lifetime. He changed the subject and said, "But my lord, the book of life and death is actually of no great use."

Jichen: "What?"

Judge Cui: "The book of life and death, which records the birth and death of all living beings in the world, is naturally a rare innate treasure. However, my lord, no one can actively change the words on the book of life and death! You have it, and at most you can use it to Find out who was like in the previous life and when he died in this life. But my lord, if it is in the hands of the subordinates, it is an important magic weapon that can maintain the stability of the underworld."

The scholar judge looked serious, and his words were righteous. It seemed that he was not pretending to be false, but sincere in every word.

Ji Chen couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?"

Judge Cui solemnly said: "As the head of the four major judges, this subordinate is in great need of the book of life and death to deal with official duties every day! Without the book of life and death, subordinates will not be able to know the past of living beings, and the order of the underworld will be chaotic. My lord, if you have the book of life and death, you will It is a huge responsibility. This thing was born useless, other than spying on other people's past and present, it only has one purpose to stabilize the order of the underworld." Gritting his teeth, Judge Cui showed reluctance, and he took out his magic weapon Judge He handed the pen to the minister, and said: "My lord, I really can't live without the book of life and death. Not only the subordinates need it, but the underworld also needs it. Can you allow this subordinate to exchange it with a judge's pen?"

Judge Cui's words were so eloquent that he almost burst into tears.After he finished speaking, the four present all looked at Ji Chen.The complexity of the eyes is difficult to describe in words.

The minister who was watched by everyone: "..."

I look like the kind of robber who steals people's things?

Pursing his thin lips, Mr. Xi calmly took out the book of life and death from his pocket, and threw it to Judge Cui: "I was just joking."

Judge Cui: "..." Guess I believe it or not.

He complained about the minister ten thousand times in his heart, but Judgment Cui showed a sincere smile on the surface: "Your Excellency is wise and martial, considerate of my subordinates, and my subordinates are fortunate enough to serve you. It is really a blessing that my subordinates have cultivated three lives!"

He was always flattered by the praise, and he waved his hand indifferently, and it was considered as an end to the matter.

In fact, what Judge Cui said just now was half true and half false.

The book of life and death does not belong to him, but it is handed over to him instead of Yama, because the book of life and death can play a great role in the daily operation of the underworld.What can those idiots in the Tenth Hall of Yama do?It is not they middle-level civil servants who really work hard every day for 996!

Carefully putting away the book of life and death, Judge Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that Jichen didn't seem to want to go back.

Just take it back.

After such an incident, Magistrate Cui, who was stimulated by Fairy Guanghan, really stopped thinking about it.After calming down, Judge Cui couldn't help thinking of something, and he sighed: "My lords, my subordinates just remembered one thing."

His hands were warmed by the minister's magic. Lian Xi heard the words, looked at Judge Cui, and asked, "What's the matter? It has something to do with Emperor Wen Song?"

Judge Cui nodded and said: "Exactly. Do you still remember, this Luo..." His voice stopped, and Judge Cui took a deep breath, and continued: "This Luo Zhong suddenly changed just now, questioned Emperor Wen Song, and told him that he has died."

"remember."

It wasn't long after this incident, and the abnormality of the watchman also fell into everyone's eyes.In the past, the watchmen were all glib and flattering, and they hid behind Lian Xi and Ji Chen when they had things to do.But when Emperor Wen Song was unconvinced and wanted to use Xiao Liu's soul to be reborn, the watchman suddenly stood up strongly, accused a god without fear, and told him over and over again: You are dead!

It is precisely because of this that Jichen said that the watchman has changed.

Jichen: "His soul seemed to be shining a little at that moment." After thinking for a while, Jichen said: "It's like the kind in fantasy novels, enlightenment, attainment of the Tao."

Judge Cui sighed: "When Luo finally had these changes, my lord still remember that Emperor Wen Song was suddenly persuaded by him, and then he kept staring at him until he died, without taking his eyes off Luo Shengsheng. ?”

"remember."

Judge Cui: "My subordinates think that maybe at that moment, Emperor Wen Song recognized Luo Zhong 600 years ago as Fairy Guanghan!"

Everyone was stunned.

At this time, Judge Cui showed a weird expression, and said quietly: "If I remember correctly, 600 years ago, among the dozen or so gods who pursued Fairy Guanghan most enthusiastically... Emperor Wen Song was the one who wrote the most love letters .”

Everyone: "..."

That's horrible!

Put an incense stick to the dead Emperor Wen Song, poor man, his death is not stable.

If I had known today, you might as well have died completely 600 years ago. This means that there will be no peace after death!

……

The night is dark, it is early morning, and the temperature in the suburbs is getting lower and lower.

After solving the matter of Emperor Wen Song, everyone decided to go home directly.

Before leaving, Lian Xi looked at Xiao Liu who was lying on the ground in a deep sleep, and asked, "Take her back together?"

Judge Cui shook his head and said, "No need, my lord, if she wakes up, she will forget what happened tonight."

Lian Xi frowned: "Won't you catch a cold?"

Judge Cui smiled and said, "Even less so. Please look carefully, my lord, at her soul."

Lian Xi looked intently at the light-colored soul in Xiao Liu's body that seemed to be falling asleep together, and Judge Cui said with a slight smile: "Her soul has just been mended. In the past 24 lifetimes, each life has been miserable and never ended well." , all the luck that Emperor Wen Song used to hoodwink the heavenly secrets and shielded from her has all returned now. The obsession of the 24 lives just now sent her the qi of that life to her, plus the qi of this life The luck, the luck of the whole 25 lifetimes, returned to her own body, and from then on, she can be considered to be truly blessed, and she will live a healthy life."

Now Lian Xi was completely relieved.

Leave Xiao Liu alone in Wendi Temple, and everyone returns to Sucheng Park.

At this moment, the east is faint, and the pale fish-belly white is slowly rippling from the horizon, staining half of the sky.

Normally at this time, the watchman should be outside to catch ghosts, and ghost Jiang can't be lazy.Even Lian Xi and Ji Chen would go out to catch ghosts diligently, because their cheating methods were detected by the performance rankings and they were immediately banned.But now, standing at the gate of the community, Mr. Xi's eyes brightened slightly, and he turned to Judge Cui: "You made the performance rankings?"

"?" Judge Cui looked confused and asked in surprise, "Performance ranking?"

Since the watchman had an "epiphany", his mind turned faster.His eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the meaning of Jichen, and hurriedly said to Judge Cui: "Master Jichen is talking about the ranking list of ghosts' performance of the month! The one you made hundreds of years ago!"

Judge Cui came to a sudden: "Ah, this, indeed, I will report back to your lord, this is indeed formulated by my subordinates."

This month's ghost difference performance ranking list is too far away for Judge Cui.

More than 500 years ago, Zhuanlun Wang, who was not involved in human affairs, was the first to discover that after the destruction of the Shenting, there was no Shenting to supervise the work of the underworld, and the emperor of Fengdu in Beiyin, that is, the minister suddenly disappeared.The Wheel-Turning King suddenly realized: "There is no punishment for not working!" So he waved his arms, and the other nine halls of hell responded one after another, directly quitting their picks and taking their laziness openly.

They also restrained themselves a little bit, because no one knew whether Ji Chen was dead or not, so they just fished and joked all day, did half a day's work, and rested for two days.In this way, if the ministers come back one day, they can still say that they have a good job and haven't been lazy all day.

But Yan Luo of the Tenth Palace can be so foolish, but Judge Cui can't.

If he really knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day like Yama in the Ten Palaces, the underworld would have been overrun with ghosts and the world would be in chaos.

There is not enough manpower, Judge Cui can only recruit part-time ghost messengers from Yangjian, and ask them to help with some errands and catch ghosts.As for the performance ranking list, it's just a crap that Judge Cui fiddled with.In the eyes of the ghosts and gods of the underworld, those rewards are not worth mentioning. Mengpo soup and Wangchuan water are things that the ghosts and gods of the underworld don't want, and they don't even look down on giving them to watchmen.But the part-time ghost messenger used to hang the world is quite enough.

Thinking of this incident, Judge Cui rolled his eyes, his face was full of righteousness, and his words were filled with righteous indignation: "This subordinate has something to report to your lord!"

Ji Chen was taken aback: "What's the matter?"

Judge Cui said angrily: "I don't know, my lord, Yama of the Ten Palaces, especially that damned wheel-turning king, is simply not a son of man! Not long after the destruction of the court of gods, he stopped working hard and only used the wheel-turning mirror to supervise the living beings every day. I spend my days leisurely in the back hall. My lord, have you ever thought that although the government affairs of the underworld are complicated, there are many ghosts, and the management is not very proper, but it is not possible for a ghost to reincarnate continuously for 600 years. Every life is so miserable, but no one has discovered it. It should be noted that before reincarnation, all creatures in the world will go to the Temple of the King of the Wheel, and look at his life and past through the mirror of the wheel. In the 24th life, the next This time is so tragic, how could the Wheel-Running King not notice?"

Hearing this, Ji Chen and Lian Xi were also surprised: Yes, according to Judge Cui, the underworld has a corresponding set of methods for dealing with this kind of cheating to deceive the book of life and death.How could it have been undiscovered?

With tears in his eyes, Judge Cui tried his best to put eye drops on the wheel king, and said with grief and indignation: "My lord, it's all the fault of that wheel king! Emperor Wen Song's tricks were hidden from the wheel mirror, but how could it be possible?" Can I hide it from the King of Wheels? It is precisely because he is lazy and does not work again and again that such negligence is caused!"

The crowd suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was all the fault of the wheel-turning king!

Even Xi and Jinchen nodded thoughtfully.

But the watchman thought more, he carefully sized Judge Cui, and thought: This Judge Cui is too good at licking!In order to please the two adults, he directly belittled the former boss face to face.

Jiang Gui was on the sidelines, but he really couldn't listen anymore.There were still bruises on his face from being beaten by the golden album, Jiang Gui raised his cold eyes and looked at Judge Cui with contempt.He never expected that Judge Cui turned out to be such a ghost!In vain he once regarded Judge Cui as hope, thinking that Judge Cui could save him from the fire and water, what a mistake!

"What kind of eyes do you have, how dare you stare at me like this?" Judge Cui turned around, and immediately looked down on Jiang Gui with a commanding authority.Facing the minister, he was respectful.But what is Jiang ghost, Judge Cui said coldly: "Jiangnan Dao black and impermanent Jiang ghost, today you have repeatedly offended, according to the laws of the underworld, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?"

It's impossible to please Lian Xi and Ji Chen, they've already been offended to death.Jiang Gui simply smashed the jar, he sneered sullenly: "Hehe, according to the law of the underworld?"

Judge Cui frowned and said, "What?"

Jiang Gui laughed wildly twice, and sarcastically said: "Judge Cui, haven't you already surrendered to the enemy, and still follow the laws of the underworld? The head of the four majestic judges, commanding the nine underworld envoys and the eighteen black and white impermanence, Even the book of life and death was forcibly seized by the enemy, and they still begrudgingly seek perfection and slap their beards. Judge Cui, if you follow the laws of the underworld, how can you know what you should be guilty of!"

Judge Cui was furious, his face constantly changing: "You..."

Jiang Gui scolded angrily, and interrupted: "Judge Cui, in vain I usually pay more respect than you. Is that how you lick them! Willing to be a pug dog of a peerless evil spirit, this is the majestic Judge Cui!"

Jiang Gui stretched out his hand and pointed angrily at Ji Chen and Lian Xi.

Today, he has completely given up.There is a saying in this world that is better to die standing than to live on your knees.He, Jiang Gui, is also a well-known No. 1 figure in the underworld, known as No. [-] under the judge.He has eight concubines in the underworld, who show off his prestige and blessing every day, so majestic.In such a situation today, he accepted his fate.

Anyway, it's too late to lick the black and white of Sioux City, so he will go all the way to the black, and he will show his loyalty to the underworld for the last time.Maybe when he dies and reincarnates, Yama of the Ten Palaces can give him a good end for his loyalty.

However, what Jiang Gui never expected was that Judge Cui was furious when he heard his scolding, as if he was going to take out the judge's pen in the next second, and beat him to the teeth.But after he finished speaking, Judge Cui's face turned black and then green, which was extremely strange.

Judge Cui showed a strange expression, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked Jiang Gui, "Jiang Gui, who do you say is the peerless evil spirit?"

What does "..." mean?

After being a ghost for many years, Jiang Gui also has some ability to hear the wind and know the smell.Looking at Judge Cui's weird face, a trace of ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

No way, no way, it's impossible to have anything to slap your face now...

Jiang Gui raised his face that was still slightly swollen, and spoke righteously: "Who else could be? This damn Sucheng is impermanent, it is the peerless evil spirit who climbed up from the eighteenth floor of hell!"

Mr. Xi didn't change his face, and he wasn't ashamed of being a peerless evil spirit.

Judge Cui remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Gui breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and said confidently, "Judge Cui, are you speechless?"

In the next second, Judge Cui took out the judge's pen with his backhand, and then took out the book of life and death.The scholar's judge opened his eyes wide, like the legendary King Kong with angry eyes, and sternly reprimanded him: "How dare you, Jiangnan Dao, a black and impermanent Jiang ghost, dare to offend the Lord of the underworld, the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu who was proclaimed by the gods!"

When these words fell to the ground, it was like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone present to be stunned.

Then, seeing the book of life and death suspended in the air, and the judge's pen turned into a sharp sword, Judge Cui said sharply: "Little Jiang ghost, you dare to be presumptuous, every word you insult the lord is to cut the flesh of the judge's heart alive Ah! This judge is heartbroken, how can I let you and other little thieves continue to do mischief? Take your life now!"

Jiang Gui was stunned, and the words "Lord of the Underworld, Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu" were constantly playing back in his ears. He suddenly felt that the watchman was not illiterate, but he was!If he was not illiterate, how could he not understand what Judge Cui said?

Without giving him a chance to react, the book of life and death was shining brightly, and the judge turned his pen into a sword and whipped him.

"Ouch! Ouch..."

Ghost Jiang was beaten so hard by the book of life and death and the judge's pen that he ran around with his head in his arms, looking for his teeth all over the place, but after a while, his face returned to that of a pig's head.

Ji Chen and Lian Xi were still in a daze and didn't come back to their senses, when they saw Judge Cui clasping his hands together, he said indignantly, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will never allow such a low-ranking villain to be arrogant!"

The world was changing so fast. In the cold autumn wind in the early morning, the watchman watched Jiang Gui being beaten and rolling all over the ground, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he realized it.

Hey!

Is it important that Mr. Xichen is the Lord of the Underworld?It doesn't matter at all!The important thing is... How could Judge Cui be so good at licking!

It's a good move to scold you, but it hurts my heart.

The watchman was suddenly worried, and his sense of crisis soared.

……

At the same time, in the suburbs, Wendi Temple.

The sun was shining, and a round sun rose from the east. Thousands of rays illuminated the whole city, and also illuminated the small Wendi Temple in the wilderness.

The short-haired girl was lying on the cold ground, and the crisp chirping of birds came into the house from outside the temple, and Xiao Liu opened his eyes in a trance.She looked at the bare beams of the small temple in confusion, her eyes were blurred, with a trace of sleepiness, and she didn't realize where she was at the moment.

Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blows, and Xiao Li wakes up suddenly.

"Hey, Wendi Temple?" She looked around and rubbed her head: "Why am I here?"

Carefully recalling last night's experience, Xiao Liu finally came to his senses: "Oh yes, I was going to walk home last night, but there were too many things at home, so I answered my mother's call, and I was too sad, so I sneaked over the wall and entered the temple, thinking about coming again I salute Lord Wendi, but I accidentally fell asleep."

After waking up from the state of grief, Xiao Liu knew that it was illegal to climb over the wall and enter the temple, so he didn't dare to wait any longer.She first worshiped the gods in the temple, and then quickly left the Wendi Temple.

"It's strange. I didn't catch a cold after sleeping on the ground all night. It's quite warm."

Facing the bright morning sun, the short-haired girl stretched her waist, exercising her muscles.She didn't see that under the gorgeous sunlight, in her body and in the depths of her soul, like diamonds, shone with brilliance.

The invisible air lingers around the body, keeping it warm and nourishing.

The fate that has been blinded by magic for more than 600 years, at this moment, all returns to itself.

As soon as Xiao Liu walked to the bus stop, a bus drove over.She got into the car without delay.

As soon as she got in the car, the driver looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why are you, a little girl, out in the wilderness so early in the morning?"

Xiao Liu laughed dryly: "It just so happens that there is something wrong."

The driver didn't ask too many questions, and smiled: "Have you had breakfast?"

"No."

"That's a coincidence, the company gave me two more buns this morning for some reason, do you want to try it, little girl?"

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you so much, master."

"Hahaha, it's okay, you young people have to go to work, it's hard work, and it's not easy."

"You worked hard too."

Sitting in the front row of the bus, the short-haired girl grinned brightly.Around her body, dots of golden light that mortals cannot see shone around.This is not extra luck, but something that should have belonged to this soul in the past 600 years.Every life should be lived normally, but every life is extremely miserable.Accumulated so far, it has become what it is today.

When getting off the car, Xiao Liu only felt comfortable.

There are always more good people in this world, how can she be discouraged?Compared with many more miserable people, she is already a lucky one.At least she now has food, a house to live in, and a job.She is very contented.

Looking at the rising sun, the short-haired girl smiled brightly.

So what if fate tricks people?She will never admit defeat.As long as you work hard, you will be happy!Even if the result fails, she will never bow her head!
