The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

The city of death in vain is located on the Bairen stone cliff. It is built from the top to the bottom of the blue-black basalt stones of different sizes. At a glance, the dark buildings are scattered, and the houses are like gloomy houses. There are countless black windows. The eye sockets seemed to have been gouged out, so empty that it made one's heart palpitate.

Cun Xin took Yu Sinian to walk on the bumpy bluestone road, regretting that she didn't bring a luminous pearl when she came from West Sea.There are usually people living on both sides of the streets in this town, but all the gates are closed, and there is no light at all. If it is not for the faint sound of clappers on the turrets, Cun Xin really thinks it is an empty city.

"You said, Lu Qi asked them to bring them to the city of death?" Cun Xin said, stepping into the gap between the stone slabs inadvertently, thanks to Si Nian grabbing her arm, she didn't fall to the ground. "Yes, we just came to the Sixth Hall. Before we had an audience with King Biancheng, the judge saw her at a glance and said that she had slipped through the net. He didn't listen to our argument, so he summoned the ghosts to take her away." The young luthier said. His brows were furrowed, and his face was filled with worry, "Because I'm a living soul, I checked that Zha Yang's lifespan was not over, so they let me go and drove me out."

"You didn't say that it was God Erlang who told you to go to the eighth hall and pass by here?"

"Say it," Yu Sinian spread his hands, "They didn't believe me, how could I, a mortal, meet Erlang Zhenjun and allow me to enter the underworld privately? Later, an older ghost slave said, 'He is a living soul. , and young, hurry up and tell him to go', and then let me out."

Cun Xin lowered her head and pondered, she had heard of King Bian Cheng, who was in charge of rebellious, unfilial and resentful dead souls, and another class who died of injustice due to suicide, disaster, war or accident, and would be taken to court. In this futile city, until the Yangshou in the book of life and death is exhausted, they have to be sent to the ten halls of the wheel king to reincarnate.But Luqi is a qin spirit, not a soul, so why was she locked up as soon as she met, and imprisoned in the city of death involuntarily?

Cun Xin couldn't figure it out, and looked at Yu Sinian with a dazed look on his face.When Yang Jian left, he had told him that he would come as soon as he went to the Heavenly Court to deliver the monster.Unexpectedly, no one was seen after waiting for two days, Cun Xin was worried that Yu Sinian and Lu Qi were still in the underworld, so she didn't dare to linger, so she came back here to look for them, who knew that Lu Qi was arrested as soon as she came.As he was thinking about it, he heard a loud shout from behind: "You two stop for me!"

Both Cun Xin and Yu Si Nian were startled. When they turned around to look, they saw a ghost servant standing in the street with a gong in his hand, and shouted with his hands on his hips, "I'm dead, I'm still restless in Wushi City, knowing that the curfew is still on the street. Hang around, do you want to go to Tiewei Mountain for a stroll?" The ghost slave was dressed like a watchman, wearing brown clothes and long trousers, presumably he came here to patrol the streets.

Cun Xin smiled, stepped forward and saluted, "Brother, we are not dead souls here." She took out a pearl from her sleeve, stuffed it in the ghost's hand and said, "I am Ao Cun Xin, the third princess of the West Sea. My friend is here, but I don't know the rules here, so I hope that my elder brother will be accommodating."

The ghost slave rubbed the pearl on the skirt of his clothes, and when he picked it up to look at it, he saw it was round and exquisite, with a slight precious light shining in the dark, knowing that it must be a rare and good thing, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said with a smile: " People from Dragon Palace..." He frowned slightly, squinting at Cun Xin with his triangular eyes and said, "It's just that our place is not under the jurisdiction of Xihai, even though you are looking for someone, you can't run around!"

Cun Xin hated this person very much in her heart, but she refused to show it on her face, she just put her hands together in her sleeves, slightly revealing a string of coral wrist beads, on which there was a huge six-petal cloud with golden dots and emerald green, embellished with two Dongzhu dropped his feet, dangling outside his wide sleeves.Cun Xin saw that the ghost's eyes were burning, and smiled slightly: "I have a friend who quarreled with the head of the expensive class and was locked up here. Please take us to see her, don't you?" Let her suffer. If I can see it, naturally..."

The guili shook his head, and felt that his mouth was about to drip, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Since he is the princess's friend, it's easy to say, I'll take you there."

Along the way, the ghost slave babbled about everything in the city of futile death.It turns out that this dead city is divided into three divisions, the killing division, the killing division and the jueming division.This killing department is in charge of the dead souls who died due to the war, or were murdered by others. The ghosts picked them up and took them to the highest place on the top of the mountain to live. In the end, take it to the wheel-turning king in the ten halls, and see that those who murdered the deceased get retribution, and their resentment and anger are relieved, and then they are reincarnated according to the good and evil in life, or reward or punishment.

The Department of Death is in charge of the souls of those who died by accident or caused by disasters. They are distributed and live on the mountainside, and they are treated the same as the Department of Death, except that they are not allowed to light lamps and live in the dark.Only this jueming department is in charge of all unsatisfactory things in life, and the ghosts who committed suicide due to resentment.These dead souls who destroy the body and skin given by their parents and make their loved ones feel sad are all locked in the dungeon below the city and bound with chains made of cold iron that have lasted thousands of years, so that they cannot straighten their waists, stretch their legs, or stand. You can't lie down, you have to endure unbearable suffering before you can release it.

The ghost said with a smile: "I don't know why that friend of the princess was sent to our city of death. If you tell me, we can save a lot of travel." When Cun Xin heard about it, he hesitated, and looked at Yu in the blink of an eye. Si Nian was also at a loss, so he could only murmur: "I don't know her origin, I only know that she was attached to one of my guqin for hundreds of years."

The ghost slave thought for a while and said: "It must be that after death, before being hooked by the ghost messenger, he got into the piano to hide. Anyway, the newly arrived souls are under the jurisdiction of my brother, let's go ask him. "

The ghost judge at the distribution office was not like a ghost slave, he flipped through the roster casually, and said coldly: "'Green Qi', right? It's in the third room between Dingmao and Duizi in the dungeon." After saying that, "crack" He closed the notebook, stretched out a hand, Cun Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then understood that although this ghost judge had a cold face, he was also a character who wanted money.Immediately, he took out a pearl, thought about it, but didn't hand it over, but said with a smile: "This official, it's our first time here, and we don't know the place well, please take us there."

The ghost judge glanced at the pearl out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the pearl was white and shiny, about the size of a hazelnut, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his voice was no longer as cold as before: "Forget it, I'll just be a good person once."

In the Guanghan Palace, Yang Jian in black cloak and silver armor stood opposite Chang'e Fairy in purple fur.The little fairy serving tea hadn't seen the God of Judiciary visit for a long time, and when she hurried over with the tea tray, she saw Yang Jian whispering something in Chang'e's ear, Chang'e smiled, and the god turned and left.

Little Xian'e took a few steps, put down the tea tray, offered a bowl of tea to the fairy, and asked curiously: "Fairy, the god is leaving now? I haven't even had a sip of the tea yet." Chang'e tasted the tea, but didn't After answering, it took a long time to ask: "Is this water from Liuli Well?"

Seeing the question, Xiaoxian'e frowned and said, "That's right. Something has happened to the well water recently. It used to be as blue as glass, but in recent days, not only has the blue color faded, but even the water has become less sweet."

Chang'e nodded, put the tea bowl aside, and said slowly: "Since you don't think it's sweet enough, you can add some sweet-scented osmanthus candy." The little fairy clapped her hands and laughed, "It really is our fairy Huizhi Lanxin, why didn't I expect it? I'll go to Wu Gang right away, and tell the fairy to cut down more sweet-scented osmanthus branches, and I'll make sweet-scented osmanthus candies!" After saying that, she squatted down towards Chang'e, put away the tea tray and left.Here, Chang'e picked up the tea again, took a sip, shook her head, but put it down, only looking at the direction Yang Jian was going, and said nothing.
