[Comprehensive] The ghost lamp of the blue lamp

At the junction of this world and the next world, there is a gate of hell that separates the two worlds.

Behind the gates of hell is a long cross road.

One side of the cross road leads to hell, and the other side leads to heaven, and the straight path in the middle is the road leading to the Ten Halls of Yama. Living beings in this world will choose the remaining roads here after death.

Kind and pure souls will go to heaven here, and the remaining souls will enter the ten halls of hell. After a trial, it will be determined whether to re-enter reincarnation or be sent to hell for punishment.

Only a very small number of souls will go directly to hell without being judged, and this category is basically the dead who have committed too many evils and are designated as "immediately sent to hell without a judge".

The most preliminary judgment can be distinguished only by the color of their souls.

The gatekeepers in charge of guarding here are two huge non-human beings.

Niutou and Mamian - a pair of good sisters who have worked together for many years.

"Ah, Ma Mian, have you heard that there seems to be a new guide coming today." The plump beauty with four boobs ( Niu) Niutou told his good sister Ma Mian the news.

"Really? I don't know what kind of person it is?" The horse's face, which also looked like a horse walking upright, was wearing a Greek robe and holding a weapon. "Will you stay and guard the gate of hell with us?"

Niu Tou blinked his big eyes painted with bright eyeshadow and said: "No way? Now there is a reception department in hell (the department responsible for welcoming the dead and recovering them), and the new guide should be assigned to the reception department."

"There are enough staff in the reception department, so the newcomers will make other arrangements."

A muffled voice suddenly broke into their conversation.

The sound came from below.

The bull's head and the horse's face looked down at the people, and the eyes of the two (beasts) lit up: "Oh, it's Lord Ghost Lantern, it's rare to see you here."

Wearing a black kimono with red trim, a black-haired man with a huge mace in his hand has handsome features, a pair of long and narrow upper white eyes are very imposing, because he is related to hell ghosts and gods, a horn grows on his head, ears It is also pointed, obviously different from humans.

The person who came was the ghost lamp of the first assistant official under the throne of Yan Mo, who belonged to the fifth hall of hell, Yan Mo Hall.

Hearing the bull-headed and horse-faced greeting, Gui Deng nodded expressionlessly: "It's been a long time since you two, how is the situation at the Gate of Hell recently?"

Ma Mian said: "Everything is normal, but there are always ghosts who want to go to heaven, and many people are arrested every day." Among the two gatekeepers, Ma Mian is mainly responsible for guarding the road to heaven.

The bull head, who is mainly responsible for guarding the road to hell, also supported the bull's face with his hooves and said, "there are so many ghosts who don't want to enter hell. Every time they have to be thrown in with violence."

Gui Deng nodded and said: "No matter where you go, there are such unruly people, so you need two guards. It's really hard work."

"Oh, Mr. Ghost Lantern is still so good at talking." The bull head and horse face said shyly, "We will work hard."

Then they asked again: "Why did Lord Ghost Lantern appear here? Is there something wrong?"

The ghost lamp looked at the dark passage leading to the gate of hell: "I'm here to pick up the newcomers."

The bull-headed and horse-faced man said in surprise: "You actually have to bother Mr. Ghost Lantern to pick him up? This newcomer seems to be very powerful."

The ghost lamp said: "The newcomer this time is the grandson of King Yan Mo. It is said that he has been living in this world before. The king is worried that he (ghost) will enter hell alone, so he sent me to pick up people (ghosts)."

In fact, Yan Mowang planned to come by himself, but the ghost lamp would not let him take this opportunity to be lazy and not work, so he took over the task by himself.

"The grandson of King Yan Mo?!" Niutauma looked at each other in dismay

Niu Tau said: "Isn't the great king's grandson still a child? And he has been living in hell, right? Have you seen him go to the present world recently?" It asked its partner Ma Mian.

Ma Mian shook his head: "I haven't seen him go out before."

"It's not that annoying red-haired little ghost." Ghost Lantern explained to them, "To be exact, it's the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson of the Great King... I don't know how many generations of great-nephews and grandchildren are descendants of the lineage of the Great King's sister. Children and grandchildren."

Niutou was about to get dizzy from the string of "Zeng", but he didn't forget to gossip: "So King Yan Mo has a younger sister? I've never heard him say it."

Gui Deng was also very surprised when he heard about this. He had worked with King Yan Mo for thousands of years, and he didn't even know that he had a younger sister.

"Because the king's younger sister was reincarnated a long time ago, she married a human, and the life of a living person is very short. After that human died, the couple did not stay in hell, but went to hell together. They were reincarnated, and their descendants are also ordinary people, after a long time, even the king doesn't remember that he has such relatives."

And after thousands of years have passed, there are still descendants in that family who also know the existence of the Flame Demon King and can contact him. This is what makes Ghost Lamp feel incredible.

Niutou suddenly thought: "Since she is the offspring of Yan Mo's younger sister, wouldn't she look the same as him? Will her offspring also look like them?"

King Yan Mo is the biggest giant among the ten kings, twice as tall as the 1.8-meter-high ghost lamp, he is fat and has big ears, not to mention he has a beard on his face. If his sister is really like Him, that would be a tragedy.

The ghost lamp said: "You think too much, although there are no photos, but from the description of the king, the other party seems to be very good-looking - and the son and grandson of the king are all normal ghosts, only the king is the mutant body."

Ma Mian said with a smile: "Master Ghost Lantern is still as rude to the king as before."

While the three of them were chatting and trying to imagine what this relative of King Yan Mo would look like, the sound of the gate opening came from the direction of the gate of hell.

"It seems that someone is coming." Ghost Lantern looked into the dark passage.

With the progress of the times, the gate of hell has now been changed into an automatic gate, which does not require manpower to open. The gate is equipped with a sensor device, which will automatically open when there are non-living people coming in outside, but it is still necessary to go out from the inside. It is opened manually by the bull's head and horse face.

"It shouldn't be the person you are waiting for, Mr. Ghost Lamp, right? If the other party is alive, if we don't open the door, he shouldn't be able to enter hell, right?"

The ghost lamp replied: "According to the king, the other party seems to have asked to serve in hell because he is no longer human, so this door can't stop him."

"Not human? What a strange way to say it, by the way, what's his name?"

"Blue lantern."

Niutou asked: "Only a first name? Don't all people in this world have a last name?"

Gui Deng shook his head and said: "That's not the case. I heard that he is from Huaxia, so his surname is Qing and his name is Deng."

"I see, but where did I hear such a name?"

Ma Mian also said: "I also think it sounds familiar, where have I heard it?"

While trying to remember with the bull's head and horse's face, the ghost lamp has watched a cyan light slowly light up in the dark passage ahead.

The blue light was getting closer and bigger, and with the eyesight of the ghost lamp, it was soon clear that it was the light from a blue lantern.

It was a lantern with a very strange shape, a blue lantern with a lotus base, and the handle was very large. It looked like a staff commonly used by mages in Western movies. The end of the "staff" hanging from the lantern was bent. The overall shape looks like a spoon, and it looks like a big question mark, and on the curved section, there seem to be three square things inlaid.

Taking a closer look, the lantern was not being held by anyone, but was floating in the air by itself, and there was a person sitting on the handle of the lantern which was too huge.

The man was wearing a blue kimono, and his long white hair with a hint of blue was hanging behind him. Because he was sitting, he could see that the long hair was tied with a ribbon at the end. Tiny bows.

The lantern floated closer and closer, and the ghost lantern finally saw the other party's appearance.

The blue eyes and the white hair with a hint of blue seem to be the same as what King Yan Mo told him.

but--

Ghost Lamp rarely had a tone other than indifferent, but now there was a hint of doubt in his voice.

He tentatively called the other person's name.

"Excuse me, is it Lord Qingdeng?"

"Yeah." The person whose name was called nodded, and was about to ask about the identity of the ghost lamp, but he stopped his words with a loud roar.

"Ah, isn't the blue lantern the same as the green lantern?" Finally finding the reason why he was familiar with the name from the blue lantern, he slapped his head and hooves and said happily, "It's the kind that likes to find someone to play with." Monogatari' and the female monster who drags the opponent into hell!"

"Huh? It turned out to be Qingxing Lantern. No wonder it was said to be a guide, but the king is really confused. Why didn't he find out the gender of his nephew and grandson. This is obviously a nephew and granddaughter."

Yes, the person in front of him was slender, with beautiful facial features, a pair of blue eyes brighter than gemstones on his palm-sized face, as if they were shining, he was a beauty so beautiful that he would cause a sensation no matter how you looked at it.

Ghost Lantern, who also had the same doubts, had been watching Qingdeng, so he didn't miss the blue veins on the other side's head after hearing what the bull-headed horse said.

And the answer with the sound of grinding teeth.

"...I'm so sorry, I'm indeed a man..."

"Ah?!!!"
