dream of you

"Not good! Junior brother Li's soul has left his body!" Jian Jili inspected Li Zhi, and said anxiously to Jian Yanzhi, "If he is left alone like this, his heartbeat, breath and cultivation will slowly disappear. Yes, Junior Brother Li will not be able to come back."

"Eldest brother, brother!" Jian Yizhi ran from a distance and shouted, "I heard the sound of fighting, what happened?"

When he saw the bodies of the three cats on the ground and the unconscious Li Zhi in Jian Yanzhi's arms, Jian Yizhi anxiously asked Jian Yanzhi: "Brother, what happened to him?"

"The soul has left the body." Jian Yan replied with a frown.

Jian Yizhi's eyes widened in shock, and said: "Then... then we must find a way to summon the soul as soon as possible!"

Jian Jili on the side shook his head and said, "Now we are in an illusion. This happened suddenly. We don't have the magical artifacts we need to summon souls. We won't be able to get out for a while."

"Then what should I do?" Jian Yizhi looked at Li Zhi with an anxious expression on his face, "Is there any way to protect the body of the idiot Li first? Otherwise, it will be useless to call back the soul."

"Have."

Jian Yan replied in a deep voice, and before the two of them could react, he lifted Li Zhi's chin with his fingers, opened his lips with a little force, and lowered his head to cover the half-open lips without hesitation. .

Jian Jili and Jian Yizhi widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Jian Yanzhi's lips connected with Li Zhi's, and saw a faint golden light overflowing from the gap between the two lips.

After a while, Jian Yanzhi left Li Zhi's lips, and the golden light dimmed and disappeared.

Unexpectedly, Jian Yanzhi would consume his own cultivation to protect Li Zhi's body.

In short, he raised his eyes to look at the two stunned people, without any emotion on his face, completely unaware of what a shocking thing he had just done, and calmly said: "He saved me, I will pay it back."

"This method consumes too much of your cultivation." Jian Jili recovered from his astonishment and said, "Besides, even if you use your cultivation, you can only protect him for two hours at a time."

Jian Yan stood up holding Li Zhi in his arms, and said, "It's okay, once every two hours is enough."

"But, brother..." Jian Yizhi still wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of any other way, and in the current situation, this was the only way, and he knew in his heart that if his cultivation base was worn out, he could repair it again. If a person dies, he can't come back, so he shut up and stopped persuading him.

"Then let's do this first, let's find a way to break the illusion as soon as possible, and bring Junior Brother Li back to Nan's house to summon the soul." Jian Jili looked at the cold moon in the sky, sighed, and said, "I just don't know that Junior Brother Li's soul has arrived. Where is it safe?"

Looking up at the huge white tiger in front of him, Li Zhi froze, unable to move.

The white tiger's hind legs dragged a long, thick iron chain. The other end of the iron chain disappeared into the thick fog. It was unknown where it extended, but it was certain that the length of the iron chain was long enough for the white tiger to come to Li Zhi, and then He swallowed him in one gulp.

Li Zhi rubbed her waist, okay, unarmed, looked around, okay, there is nowhere to hide.

Seeing the white tiger's glinting eyes approaching step by step from the darkness, Li Zhi stepped back step by step, until his back was pressed against the huge black wooden door, and there was no way to retreat.

Just when Li Zhi was thinking about how to fight the white tiger, with a "wow", Li Zhi found that the iron chain that was still hanging on the ground was stretched straight for some reason, as if someone had pulled the other end tightly.

Seeing that he could no longer move forward, Bai Hu simply lay down on the ground, yawned a lot, opened his eyes bigger than Li Zhi's whole body, and just looked at him quietly.

There was a slight sound of shoes rubbing on the ground in the thick fog in the distance, Li Zhi swallowed, and watched anxiously where the sound came from.

The sound of "chacha" footsteps was getting closer and closer, and Li Zhi's heart was beating faster and faster.

The figure in the dense fog gradually appeared, with a black high hat, a black robe, long moon-white hair, a very light purple right eye, and a cold face.

It turned out to be, Judge!

Li Zhi "..."

Judge: "..."

The two looked at each other for a while before Li Zhi coughed to break the embarrassment, leaned over and said, "Your Honor, we meet again."

"Young Master Li, are you finally dead?" the judge asked while bowing while cupping his fists.

This greeting stunned Li Zhi, and after a while she asked in a trembling voice, "Am I dead?"

"If Mr. Li is not dead, why did he appear in the underworld?" The judge frowned and continued, "However, if Mr. Li is dead, he should be brought into the underworld by ghost messengers instead of wandering around the gate of the underworld alone. .”

Hearing this, Li Zhi asked hesitantly: "Then, am I dead or not?"

"Xiaosheng doesn't know, this matter must not be simple." The judge pondered for a moment, and then said, "Young master, let Xiaosheng go in first, there are many ghosts in the underworld, and it is very dangerous for your young master's soul to wander outside."

It was only then that Li Zhi realized that he had become a wandering soul outside the underworld at this time, but he wanted to follow the judge into the underworld, Li Zhi felt a little apprehensive, and said, "I, can I still come out after entering the underworld?" ?”

The judge patted Baihu's head and replied: "After entering the underworld, Xiaosheng went to check the book of life and death. If the young master died, he would not let you out, but if he did not die, Xiaosheng would not be able to keep you."

Standing on Huangquan Road, with the Wangchuan River flowing on both sides, the judge standing in front, and the gate of the underworld behind him, Li Zhi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, never thought that he would really have a day to visit the underworld, I just don't know if there is a way back from this trip.

Watching the judge fasten the thick iron chain on the iron ring next to the huge wooden door, Li Zhi realized that this iron chain was the one connected to the back leg of the white tiger. It was just a chain that had grown endlessly before. But ten meters long.

Seeing Li Zhi looking at the chain in his hand with a puzzled face, the judge explained: "This is a free chain, adjust the length according to your needs."

Li Zhi looked at the white tiger who was meekly letting the judge pluck its fur like a cat, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Master Judge's name is 'Cui Jue'?"

There are four civil and military judges in the palace of Yan Luowang, which belong to the Department of Rewarding Good, the Department of Punishment, the Department of Yin Law, and the Department of Prosecution.Cui Jue, the judge of the Department of Yin Law, can "manage the affairs of the yang during the day, resolve the grievances of the underworld at night, and pick people and ghosts, which is better than a god."

There are many folk legends about Cui Jue's settlement of the case, among which "the case of the evil tiger wounding people clearly" is the most widely spread.

Legend has it that one day, a woodcutter chopping firewood on the Diaohuangling Mountain was eaten by a white tiger with eye-catching eyes.The yamen servant recited the talisman in front of the mountain temple in Diaohuangling and offered it to the god's case. Then a tiger rushed out from behind the temple, holding the talisman and letting it be bound with iron chains.The evil tiger was arrested and brought to the county government, and Cui Jue was immediately raised for interrogation.In the hall, Cui Jue counted the evil tiger's crimes of hurting people, and the evil tiger nodded repeatedly.

In the end, Cui Jue made the verdict: "Cannibalism is an unforgivable crime." The white tiger touched the steps and died.

Seeing the judge nodding in acknowledgment, Li Zhi turned to look at the white tiger, and said, "Is it the white tiger from that day?"

"Well, it knows that it has committed too many crimes, and it doesn't want to be reincarnated. It waited for Xiaosheng in the underworld for a long time. After Xiaosheng became a judge, he asked Lord Hades to let him guard the gate of the underworld."

As he spoke, the judge turned around and chanted a spell, and the huge wooden door automatically and slowly opened a gap amidst the rumbling sound.

"Master Li, please." The judge stretched out his palm to signal to the door.

Li Zhi gritted her teeth, nodded and followed the judge into the dark door.

Before he walked out of the darkness, Li Zhi's ears were already filled with screams one after another, men's, women's, children's, screams, roars, and none of them sounded shrill.

After a long time, Li Zhi followed the judge out of the darkness.

The wind is howling, and the black mist is long.

Evil ghosts and poor souls cry to each other, this is hell.

"Lord Yama is currently inspecting Hell on the No. 18 floor. Xiaosheng will take you there to find out the book of life and death." The judge turned around and said to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi broke out in cold sweat, hesitantly said: "I, can't I wait here?"

Eighteen levels of hell.

Hanging Tendon Prison, Fire Pit Prison, Ice Prison, Tongue Pulling Prison, Skinning Prison, Abi Prison, Blood Pond Prison... Souls are tied tightly, tied with ropes, and beaten with iron hammers. He frowns and grieves, complaining that every day should not be done, and that the ground is not working.

These are the punishments that will be punished after death for those who were unfaithful and unfilial, violated the principles of nature, concealed their hearts and ignoring themselves and being unjust, slandered others with flattering words, murdered people for money, slaughtered animals and slaughtered animals, and bullied good people.

To be honest, Li Zhi didn't want to go to see people being cramp, skinned and tongue pulled out, the [-]th floor of hell, walking back and forth like that, you don't even need to think about how terrible things you will see, but what you see is definitely better than what you see. The horror that comes to mind is a thousand times greater.

Unsurprisingly, the judge shook his head and said: "Young master is here alone, it would be bad if he was taken away by an unsuspecting ghost messenger to be tortured. Although he won't be out of his wits, he will feel the pain for real."

Li Zhi trembled all over as she listened, and hurriedly followed the judge's pace, fearing that if she accidentally lost track of her, she would be kidnapped and executed by other ghost servants.

Two hours later, Li Zhi vomited non-stop while supporting a big black tree, but as a ghost, Li Zhi couldn't vomit anything, just retched blindly.

The judge looked at Li Zhi with a pale face, pointed to the front, and said, "Mr. Li, we've reached the No. 18 floor. Lord Yan Wang is on the Naihe Bridge."

Li Zhiqiang braced himself up, took several deep breaths, and forced himself not to think about the scenes he saw just now, he twitched at the corner of his mouth at the judge, and said, "Please, Mr. Judge, lead the way."

The Wangchuan River flows endlessly from the No.18 floor of hell.

The section of the Wangchuan river in the [-]th hell is different from what Li Zhi saw in front of the gate of the underworld. The river here is blood-yellow, filled with lonely souls and wild ghosts who cannot be reincarnated. The river is full of insects and snakes, and the wind blows .

In order to meet the person they love most in this life, these ghosts choose to jump into the Wangchuan River instead of drinking Meng Po soup. The price of this choice is that they have to wait thousands of years before reincarnation.

During these millennia, they will see the person they love the most in their life walking on the Naihe Bridge, but the words cannot communicate, you can see him, but he cannot see you.During these millennia, you will see your loved ones walk across the bridge of Naihe over and over again.

Willing to suffer so much, how deep is love?

The Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River is divided into three floors. Kind souls walk on the upper bridge, half good and evil people cross the middle bridge, and evil souls cross the lower bridge. The iron dog bites wildly, and they need to struggle to climb the bridge to reincarnate.

The Naihe bridge is the boundary, starting a new reincarnation, the Naihe bridge, the parting in the previous life, the meeting in this life, and the reunion in the next life.

This is the last step from entering the underworld to reincarnation.

Looking at the past at a glance, there are many souls lined up under the bridge, and every face is full of desolation, which is the endless reluctance for the previous life.

But the soul on the bridge is indifferent on the surface.The endless love and hatred in the world of mortals, the endless joys and sorrows in the dimly lit place, disappeared after drinking a bowl of Mengpo soup.

With a bang, Li Zhi just walked to the end of the bridge when he saw a girl about ten years old with two big balls tied into her head ruthlessly throwing a wooden water ladle into a huge pot.

"I'm quitting!" the girl thrust her waist and said viciously to the man in front of her who was as tall and stout as an adult black bear.
