I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

The picture in front of me faded like a tide, and the boundless red flooded in, as if in a sea of ​​red.Stepping on nothingness, there is no dome above the head, and there are only endless red eyes, but it doesn't make Ji Zihe feel suffocated.

Suddenly there was a strange-looking beast in front of him, wearing golden fur, with blazing eyes and sharp minions, a bit like a big lion with horns.

The big lion prostrated itself on the ground, lowered its head, and respectfully said to Ji Zihe, "Master."

There was no expression on Ji Zihe's face. He had seen this beast before, and it was in the pictures he saw just now.If the beast transformed from the relic grows up, it will look like this. However, before it grows up, it has already been made into a short knife.

"I'm not your master." Ji Zihe said.

"You are the reincarnation of Jinyun Buddha, and I am the relic left behind by Jinyun Buddha after he passed away. I will serve you as my Lord." The big lion did not raise its head, and its bright eyes turned red like blood when it lowered its head. , is blocked by the eyelids, making it difficult to see clearly.

Ji Zihe didn't want to argue with him, it was just a title, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat if he was called master.And what the dagger spirit said was not wrong, Ji Zihe even had a feeling that he could control the spirit in front of him at will, making it powerless to resist.But Ji Zihe didn't verify whether this feeling was true or not.

"Why are you showing me this?"

"Master, I want to be free, please give me freedom." This is the unchanging wish of Qi Ling. When it was still a relic, he wanted to see the world. For this reason, it turned into a beast and possessed It has four legs that allow it to run around.

It is lucky, there are so many relics, only it fell into the spiritual cave, nourished by spiritual energy, gave birth to spiritual wisdom, and transformed into a living being, but it is also unfortunate, it should have become a free creature in the world , Unfortunately, the free time it got was too short.In just two days, its freedom left it.Being shot, robbed, possessed, and sealed, this is the life he has experienced. It hates the human race, hates the refiner, hates God, how much it loves freedom, why give it hope but take it away, let it It lives in despair.

As the saying goes, if you don't become bad in silence, you will become perverted in silence.No matter how good-tempered a person is, there will be times when he gets angry. A rabbit will bite people when it is in a hurry, let alone a rebellious beast.One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, then it becomes a demon.

"You killed someone and made a mistake."

"Those people should be damned!" Qi Ling yelled, "They made me like this, so they should bear the consequences, so it's not too much for me to kill them."

"What about Rong Ge, how did she feel sorry for you, why didn't you even give her the chance to reincarnate?" Ji Zihe said again.

"She didn't apologize to me. We traded fairly. She met me when she and her mother were running for their lives. I gave her the power to take revenge. She was also willing to give me her soul as a thank you. I did nothing wrong. Even if she If I die first, I also remember to avenge her and kill that Sanxian surnamed Yang for her." The more Qi Ling said, the more confident she became, "I am not wrong at all, if there is anything wrong with me, it is also Others forced me."

As an official and god in charge of the justice of a county on weekdays, Ji Zihe is very toothache to this kind of quack practice that he likes to settle in private without reporting to the officials.She's a catcher, not a charlatan.

Why didn't you report to the officials? It's not because you don't trust the officials and don't believe that they can make decisions for themselves.Besides, Rong Ge is still a fast catcher, a member of the yamen, even if others don't believe in the government, how can she not believe it, Ji Zihe will inevitably feel a sense of frustration, he is a bit aggrieved as an official.If she had known from the beginning that one of her enemies was a god, that would be fine, this yamen can't control it, but she always thought it was a person before, but she never complained to the yamen at that time.Zhao Qinglin escaped from the execution ground. Who would dare to protect him? After reporting to the police, it was found that he would definitely be wanted throughout the country. It would be easier to find enemies than her orphan and widowed mother.

As the saying goes, where you fall, you must get up.Since Rong Ge doesn't believe in the government, Ji Zihe's heart is excited, and he just wants her to admit that she is wrong and let her

I know that not all officials in this world are free, and there are still kingly laws.If everyone has a grudge and settles it privately, the murderer is guilty, and the avenger also wants to kill, wouldn't it be a crime as well.If things go on for a long time, the country will not be in chaos.It's so good that she also receives the salary of the Yamen, and she is the person who holds the government's job. No matter what, she has to have some confidence in the Yamen.If they don't trust their own people, how can others trust them?

"You think you're not wrong?" Ji Zihe asked.

"Isn't it?" Qi Ling, who looked like a big lion, said in a muffled voice while lying on the ground.

"It's said that there is revenge for injustice, and revenge for revenge. You can hate the hunter who ruined your morality, the emperor who sent you to be smelted, and the refiner. You take revenge, which makes sense. But what did you do? Did the general possessed by you ever hurt you, and those innocent people killed by you ever hurt you. In the name of revenge, you acted recklessly for your own greed and killed countless innocent people , eat their flesh and blood, devour their souls, and the emperors who really hurt you, and those craftsmen, you dare not approach them at all. Tell me, is this what others forced you to do?"

"I..." Qi Ling dodged his eyes, "Those refiners are too powerful, and the emperor has purple energy protection on his body, so I can't hurt them, so I want to wait for me to go to them after I am strong."

"That's why you hurt people, so you still think you're innocent, isn't it wrong?"

Qi Ling gritted his teeth, it's not easy to fool.

When he raised his head again, the big lion crawled close to Ji Zihe with tears in his eyes, and hugged his calf, "I made a mistake, and I will definitely change it in the future. Master, trust me, I really know I was wrong."

"You know you're wrong, then spit out the soul you just ate." Ji Zihe said.

The big lion is shy, it is true that it longs for freedom, but it is also greedy and stingy, how could it be willing to spit out the stuff in its stomach.

"Why, you don't want to."

"It's all in the stomach, there's not even scum left, how can I vomit." The big lion said sincerely.

Ji Zihe's face darkened, and he grabbed the back of the big lion's neck with one hand, lifted his upper body, and squinted his eyes, "How can I believe you are sorry for your behavior, Wuxin."

"Master, I really can't spit it out, I swear!" The big lion raised a paw and vowed.

Ji Zihe chuckled, looking into its eyes, he could see through the whole beast, which made the big lion feel a little scared, but he still insisted not to move his eyes away.

"But I don't believe you. A weapon made from human flesh and blood and resentful souls has worn away the Buddha's nature, but it has completely learned the bad habits of people, shirk responsibility, lie, and show weakness...how can I say it? How are you?"

The big lion's fluffy face couldn't hold back anymore, "Since you know all about it, are you playing tricks on me?"

"No, I'm giving you a chance. It seems that I still can't expect anything from you."

The tip of the big lion's tail trembled. The owner knew it was lying to him, and he would never let it go. What should we do?

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it still has a chance.The current master's strength is so weak, it may not be able to control it, and it may even counter... The big lion suddenly became full of fear, it can devour the soul, if it eats the master, it will merge with the soul of Jinyun Buddha For the sake of one body, that is the soul of the Buddha, and it must be able to greatly increase its power.

The big lion licked his mouth, and made a circle at the tip of his tail, "Master, you are right, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Now I am no longer a relic, but a magic knife, which is evil in nature. Are you sincerely sorry?"

"Let me guess, what are you planning, are you trying to rebel?" Ji Zihe asked.

The big lion was stunned, he, how did he know.

"It seems that I guessed it right, I really don't change my nature..."

Before Ji Zihe finished speaking, the big lion opened its mouth and bit his head.Unexpectedly, there was a force behind the neck firmly controlling its body, and it slammed its head down.

"Why, you look so weak, why did you become so powerful all of a sudden." The big lion, who was pinned down by Ji Zihe's hand and couldn't move, exclaimed. This fucking doesn't make sense at all. It killed it just now. He became a loose fairy, but under Ji Zihe's hands, he became a sick cat with no power to resist.

"Fool, the relic is transformed by the body. No matter how strong the body is, it is also dominated by the soul. How could you hurt me!" Ji Zihe said lightly, pressing the big lion's head.

He was not sure at first, didn't he try to grab the stamina of the big lion just now, unexpectedly he lifted it up lightly, without any effort at all, only then did he know that his feeling of subduing the spirit of the weapon was not an illusion, Ji Zihe Only then did he have the confidence to talk nonsense with him.

As for why this happened, the devil knows what is going on, and he is not allowed to talk nonsense and pretend to be aggressive, it is rare for him to be so handsome.

The big lion kicked its legs wildly, "Let me go!"

"Okay, spit out the soul that you just ate."

"I won't, what can you do with me, I don't believe you can kill me!" The big lion shouted.

"Then don't blame me for being rude." Ji Zihe's face was cold, but his heart was a little excited.Who said that if you have to kill someone, can't you beat him up?

In ancient times, there was Wu Song beating a tiger, and now there is Ji Zihe punching a big lion.It's a pity that he can't see the bones when he is so handsome.

Thinking about it, Ji Zihe didn't use any fancy spells. He clenched his fist and hit the big lion's soft belly...

When Ji Zihe withdrew his mind from the dagger, time had not passed for a long time. It seemed that the flow of time in the dagger was different from the outside world.

"Xiao Hezi, are you okay?" Meng Zhang had been guarding Ji Zihe, so he was naturally the first person to notice that he had opened his eyes.

Ji Zihe shook his head, "It's okay, I've got the souls of Captain Rong and Yang Tingsu back."

"Amitabha, congratulations to the benefactor for fulfilling his wish." Hui Xin smiled.

"Thank you, little master." Ji Zihe handed him the dagger, "I've finished reading the dagger, and I'll return it in its entirety. I hope little master can get rid of the dagger's demonic nature as soon as possible, so that it will come back when it's lost."

"It should be so." Hui Xin took the dagger and put it into her sleeve.

"Grandpa, what about Yang Tingsu's soul?" Ji Zihe asked.

Old man Ji was tossing Yang Tingsu's corpse, wanting to eat it but disgusted, "Ask me why, aren't you the City God?"

Although old man Ji regards Yang Tingsu as an enemy and wants to teach him a lesson and kill him, but everyone is dead, and he doesn't even give him the chance to reincarnate, so he hasn't hated him enough.

"I'm the city god. I'm in charge of mortals. I can also take care of demons and monks. But Yang Tingsu is a fairy. I'll take care of it. If you don't care, then I'll let him go." Ji Zihe said.

Regardless of whether he has a priesthood or not, whether he has a high or low cultivation base, as long as he is a god or Buddha, he will not be treated the same as a mortal.Don't say it's unfair, whoever can become a fairy or a Buddha didn't have great luck, killed countless competitors, and walked through the single-plank bridge after countless difficulties and obstacles.People have paid enough, and naturally the treatment they get is also good.

When mortals die, they belong to the underworld. When immortals and Buddhas die, their souls do not belong to the underworld.The souls of gods and Buddhas can also be called primordial spirits, and their primordial spirits are much stronger than ordinary people.Even without a physical body, the cultivation base of the primordial spirit is still not bad.

In fact, if immortals and Buddhas accidentally die, most of them still have to go to the underworld.If you want to restore your cultivation but don't want to find someone to take away your body and rebuild it, it's fine, just go to the mortal world and be a mortal for a few lifetimes.Even if they want to reincarnate after death, it is just a matter of saying hello to the underworld, and the underworld is quite cooperative with their requirements.Ji Zihe also didn't want to give people a chance to reform, maybe he would be fully enlightened after being a mortal for a few generations.

"Wait, let him go, why do I feel that he is so cheap?" Old man Ji said.

Ji Zihe thought about it for a while, "Then how about I take him to the underworld myself and let him have a bad pregnancy in his next life?"

"It's good, but Xiaohezi, aren't you a city god? If you interfere with the reincarnation of immortals, will you be reported by the little ghosts? I heard that there are many little ghosts in the underworld that are bad, so you have to be careful." Old man Ji was worried. road.

As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.Although old man Ji is not afraid that someone will openly trouble his grandson, he can beat him back.But in case someone came secretly and the boss secretly put on shoes or something, old man Ji couldn't rush to the underworld to beat up Xiao Hezi's immediate boss, wouldn't that be a disservice.

"It's okay, Xiao Jiu didn't tell you that I am the young master of the underworld?"

"What, you worship Pluto as your godfather?" Old Man Ji shouted.If he, Xiao Hezi, has nothing to do with Hades, why would he be allowed to be the young master of the underworld for no reason.If he really worshiped Pluto as his godfather, then according to his seniority, wouldn't the God of Mount Tai want to call him father? This is really incredible.

"No, I didn't ask him to be my father. As for the reasons, I will tell you in detail when I go back."

The old man Ji nodded, okay, no, no, no regrets, he is not a man who lacks a son.

"Then what about that female catcher in your yamen?"

"I'm also worried. I paid her a salary in advance. If she dies like this, she won't have to work anymore, but what should I do? I signed the note for her. If she doesn't continue to work, her salary will end. I have to pay her back. No, no, there is no such cheap thing. Anyway, she has not yet reached the end of her lifespan, and she will not be able to reincarnate if she dies at this time. Even if she becomes a ghost, she will still have to work for me." Ji Zihe said face-to-face Furious, he didn't know if what he said was for himself or others a reason to keep Rong Ge.

"Aren't you the City God, then you can just let her come back to life." Old man Ji said.

"No, I'll do it if I can. But there are regulations in the underworld that officials are not allowed to take advantage of their positions to repay others. Violators will be severely punished if they are found out. We still have to follow the rules."

"My grandson is right. You can do whatever you say." The old man Ji didn't understand the twists and turns. He listened to a lot of operas on weekdays. He thought these were just a few words from officials. It does not appear to be the case.

"It's not impossible." Meng Zhang said suddenly.

"What?" Ji Zihe was puzzled.

Meng Zhang suddenly took out a green grass and handed it to Ji Zihe, "You forgot this."

Ji Zihe's eyes lit up, yes, how could he forget this.

"What is this?" Old Man Ji asked.

"Luxiancao, a herb that can bring the dead back to life. As long as people die within seven days, eating it can bring the dead back to life." Ji Zihe said.

"Is this feasible?" Old Man Ji asked.

"Of course it's possible, but it's actually just a loophole. The underworld only stipulates that officials are not allowed to use their positions to make people return their yang, but they don't forbid people to rely on other foreign objects to return their yang. Since the deer bit grass exists, it is allowed by the law of heaven , Existence is reasonable, so using it to resurrect people does not count as my violation of the regulations of the underworld." Ji Zihe explained.

"Such a precious herbal medicine must be very expensive." Old man Ji looked at the poor corpse, could she afford it?

Ji Zihe's face collapsed in an instant. It's not so expensive, it's simply priceless.Detective Rong can barely afford food, how can he afford this thing, and it's a loss-making business.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a grass. For the sake of her serious and practical work, it doesn't matter if I give her one." Ji Zihe said it righteously, as if he regarded money as dung, but in fact he felt very distressed.

It's all money. If he sells one of these, he will not be rich.He had to spend so much money for his incompetent subordinate.Just wait, wait until the policeman Rong is resurrected soon, even if he can't get back the capital, he will have to squeeze her hard to get back the interest.
