Judge, please respect yourself

Beiyun Rong has been promoted to immortal for some time, and since he was promoted to immortal, apart from being busy with the affairs of the star officials and going to the ghost world, he has never stayed too much in the fairy world. It is enlightened to cultivate immortality, who would have thought that this person just wants to live an immortal life in order to have a tryst with that foolish judge in the ghost world. The most annoying thing is that since he ascended to immortality, He has never been a guest at his residence, let alone continue the unfinished chess game.

Hence, Yu Shu came to the Xingguan to intercept Bei Yunrong, originally planning to drag him to Fenglin Continent today, but when he went to the Xingguan, he didn't see anyone at all, and was told that he had already gone to Xiaochen Terrace, He stepped on a crane to chase after him, only to see the man standing on the edge of the platform, about to fall.

"Liyou!"

Hearing the sound, Bei Yunrong turned around, saw Yu Shu's expression flustered, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Are you going to the ghost world again?"

"Yes."

"You clearly promised me that you would solve the Zhenlong chess game with me, why do you keep breaking the promise?"

When asked about this, Bei Yunrong showed embarrassment and hesitated for a while, "How about waiting for me to come back?"

"Since you have finished the chores in your hands today, and I am free, why not just today?"

"You also know that the time in this fairy world is different from that in the lower world. I don't know when a game of chess will end. I have an appointment with someone this time, so I'm afraid it will be late."

"Those mortals have worked hard for hundreds of years to get promoted to immortals. They are diligent and conscientious, and they dare not slack off in order to become immortal officials and gain the Tao. It's good for you. It seems that you have been seduced by him."

Although Yu Shu was annoyed in his words, Bei Yunrong still smiled lightly, "You know how he behaves and how he treats me."

Yu Shu looked at his gentle eyes, and couldn't say anything else. In fact, when Li You gave up the golden core, he had already calculated that Luan Mu was his catastrophe. Let the two meet again, who knows that things will go against their wishes, this catastrophe cannot be escaped, I thought it would be more ominous, but how could it be expected that this catastrophe violated God's will and saved Liyou's life in the end.

He stopped persuading, and watched Bei Yunrong jump off the Xiaochen platform and sighed helplessly, after all, he was no match for that person.When Yu Shu was about to turn around and go back to Fenglinzhou, a white feather suddenly flew from the sky, he reached out to take it, turned over the back, and saw the words "Fengdu in the middle of July" written on it, he thoughtfully recalled it. Put the feathers in the big sleeves, and then come back on the crane.

In Misty Palace.

Luan Mu was dressed in an official uniform, sitting on the top of the hall, looking at the imprisoned imprisoned below. The imprisoned was sentenced to ten years in the Second Hell because of his frequent theft. However, Luan Mu didn't care about him, and was playing with the brush in his hand in a wandering mind.

It so happened that Ri Xun came in at this time, approached Luan Mu, and whispered, "My lord, the immortal is here."

"He's coming? Where is it?"

"Just wait outside the door."

Hearing this, Luan Mu threw the token in his hand on the ground, hurriedly got down from his seat, and ordered the bull-headed horse faces on both sides, "Take him to the second hell. If he doesn't go, he will be taken to the third hell, where he will be punished for 20 years."

The kid knew that the judge was impatient, so he immediately kept silent and didn't dare to say any more, but kept his mouth shut and wept silently, and was taken to hell with a grievance on his face.

Luan Mu hurriedly took off his official uniform and ran outside the hall. He looked at the man in white standing with his back facing him outside the door, and ran out impatiently, but he didn't notice the threshold under his feet. He tripped and fell face down. He fell in front of Bei Yunrong, and then he felt someone stepped on his butt, and when he looked up, he saw that Lu Da had jumped into Bei Yunrong's arms first.

How dare you openly eat tofu again!

"Grandpa! I miss you so much!"

This beast is timid by nature, only Luda dares to confront him like this, I don't know whether it is weak or courageous, Luan Mu is very dissatisfied with this, grabs its tail, and slams it It was thrown on the ground, so painful that Luda sat on the ground and yelled, glaring at Luan Mu angrily but did not dare to curse.

"Why are you so reckless?"

Bei Yunrong wiped Luan Mu's painted face with a silk cloth, but Luan Mu didn't care, the corners of his eyes were like crescent moons, "It's been a long time since I saw you, I miss you so much, so naturally I'm a bit reckless."

"It's only a few days."

"It's only been a few days for you, and it's been several months for me, let alone, today is July and a half, ghosts can enter the human world to visit their relatives and friends at will, and I always go to a place at this time of year, Come with me this year."

Bei Yunrong nodded in agreement, today the door is wide open, you can come in and out as you please, the two came to the city of Fengdu, the misty place below can be seen shining everywhere, every July and a half, other places are closed, only There is this ghost town of Fengdu that is lively, this is the rule set by the fifth master of ghosts, he said that a ghost town should look like a ghost town, but those festivals for ordinary people, it is necessary to make a big deal of this ghost festival.

The two headed towards the city, but within a few steps, they saw a man in red standing on the top of the hill in front of him, looking at the situation in the city.

"Nianqing? Why are you here?"

Luan Mu stepped forward to stop the man in surprise, since the day of the trial in the first hall, he has not seen Nian Qing again, he can't leave the ghost world at will, although Nian Qing can come and go freely, but he naturally won't He came to visit himself, so Luan Mu was quite touched when he saw his old friend again after a hundred years.

Hearing the sound, Yu Shu turned his head, glanced at the two of them, and then took out the crane feather in his sleeve, "I was invited, so I came to the appointment."

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, then asked Luan Mu again, "My lord, where is the Fifth Ghost?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"It has been more than a hundred years since Yibie was born. He is an ordinary person. Even if he is here, his hair and beard are already grey."

Luan Mu didn't have time to explain, a hearty laughter suddenly came from behind, the three of them turned their heads to look, only to see half of the ghost face coming from the dark.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the young master."

Seeing his appearance as before, Yu Shu was slightly surprised.

"Fifth Ghost is the gatekeeper of Tongmen, so he can be regarded as half a ghost, not like what Brother Nianqing said."

Yu Shu looked him up and down, it's been a long time, but he really hasn't changed.

"Fifth Ghost Master invited me here, why?"

"I spend the July and a half of each year by myself, and I feel a little bored. I just found the crane feather that the young master gave me in the treasury, so I went to the lower world to play with the young master. I wonder if there is any interruption?"

"No."

Yu Shu looked away and walked down the mountain calmly. The singing and dancing in Fengdu City was peaceful, and the gloomy appearance was different from usual. Everyone wore grimace masks of different colors on their faces. Although the styles were scary, the atmosphere was cheerful and long On both sides of the street, there are not only vendors from all walks of life hawking, but also ghosts from all walks of life wandering around. Yu Shu has never seen such a lively scene, and it is very novel to see everywhere. There are people performing knives in front of them, and there are people who are fighting in the street. Children tell ghost stories, scaring them into crying, some are the descendants of the long-lived here, some are still outlaws, everyone walks through the illuminated long street, smiles at each other, and chats with each other, this is a very special scene harmonious.

Suddenly, there is a merchant selling wine on the side. Ordinary restaurants sell a whole jar of wine, but here it is fresh, but only sells one bowl of wine. The same person does not sell more, only one bowl. It smells fragrant, but when you smell it closely, there is no fragrance at all.

"What wine is this?"

"Mingmu wine."

The Fifth Ghost Master followed him, took out five copper coins and put them on the peddler's table, and handed one of the bowls to Yu Shu, "Although Fengdu is full of ghosts and ghosts, it's different in July and a half. The door is open, and all the spirits in the dead city return to the world, looking for the people they miss. After drinking the Mingmu wine, mortals can see the returning souls. A bowl of wine can last for half an hour. Do not drink too much Mingmu wine. It is poisonous, if it exceeds one cup, it will be life-threatening, so I only sell one bowl, although the young master does not need this wine, but this wine has a strange taste, it is rare in the world, you can try it."

Yu Shu took the wine cup, took a sip, the wine tasted sweet and softened, but after swallowing it became indescribably bitter, after drinking one cup, the sweetness and bitterness in the taste buds repeated, it was really strange, he originally wanted to Ask Bei Yunrong to come and have a taste, but when he turns around, he and Luan Mu are nowhere to be seen.

"They're gone."

"gone?"

"Master Judge must go to Yao Xu every year when he comes to the human world, and this year should be no exception."

"is it?"

Yu Shu withdrew his gaze, and answered casually, but he was complaining in his heart, and he left without telling.

The two wandered around Fengdu for a while, seeing all kinds of strange things, Yu Shu felt a little tired, so the two walked to Yijuli at the end of the long street to rest.

The people in Yiju are all new faces, and the people who came here before are all at the end of their lifespans. Fifth Ghost Lord asked his servants to light a cup of sesame oil in the room, make tea for them, and Yu Shu caught a glimpse of the short man in the room There is a game of chess on the table, the position of the chess pieces, Yu Shu still remembers, it was the last game that he had not finished with Fifth Ghost that day.

The chessboard is densely packed with chess pieces, there is almost no gap, and on the surface it is unfinished, but in fact it is already a dead game for Heizi, which is the last game that Yu Shu lost that year.

"Did Fifth Ghost keep the chess game from that day to this day?"

"Of course not. I just thought that the young master was coming, and I was excited. I recalled that game of chess and arranged it."

"Few people can beat me, but Fifth Master is a master."

"It was really not easy at that time. In order to win the young master's game, I had to concentrate on it. I didn't dare to lose my mind. In order to win this game, I lost a lot of treasures."

Yu Shu smiled, knelt down in front of the low table, sorted the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and picked them into the chess cup, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, Fifth Master, do you want to play chess again?"

"I just ask you not to vacate my Yiju."

The Fifth Ghost Lord added some more spices to the incense burner, and then he knelt down on the other side, dusting off the chessboard, with sly eyes under the ghost mask, thinking about something.
