I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

If you want to say that the most popular discussion person in the underworld recently is Cheng Jin, the magistrate of Tangxi County, Wuzhou, in the world.

Let's face it, it's subtle.The main thing is that Tangxi is a small place in the human world, and there are even fewer ghosts in the underworld. At first, everyone felt that the rumors were too exaggerated.

After all, the underworld is different from the human world, and the exchange of information is quite smooth. There are some book ghosts who like to spread gossip. The magistrate Cheng felt that the rumors were too distorted.

What about punching ghosts to make them disabled, what about using ghosts and demons as government servants, it must have been spread by the ghosts of reading to mortal scholars.It's really a declining world, these days scholars want to be famous and even the ghosts of the underworld are not spared, some sour ghosts decided to wait for the county magistrate Cheng to teach the county magistrate the rules of the underworld after a hundred years.

How dare they step on their ghostly reputation to climb up, they must hold a grand "welcome ceremony" for them.

However, the ceremony didn't even have a regulation yet, and the fact hit them hard in the face.

The news this time is different, it was spread from the official Yin Soldier Master, there is absolutely no way it could be false, punching a newborn ghost is nothing, the county magistrate is a ruthless person who can toughen a thousand-year-old tree demon.

What is the concept of a thousand-year-old tree demon? To put it simply, anyone with the word thousand-year-old, whether it is a demon or a ghost, is extremely powerful.So you taste, you taste carefully, can this county magistrate still be a human being?

That must not be the case. I heard from a yin soldier master that when he came back from a business trip this time, he had a shadow in his heart. He said that in the future, he will not go to the world for official business.

As soon as these words came out, all the ghosts were frightened. Ghosts are much more terrifying than humans. After all, human death is like extinguishing a lamp, and when ghosts die, there is nothing left.

Ghosts are still quite keen on the seal of the city god. When the first ghost saw the face with the deputy seal of the city god, it immediately thought of the recently rumored killing god.

He immediately fled to Fengdu, everyone didn't believe it at first, but the existence of Zhu Fengnian, a water mang ghost, just proved Cheng Jin's identity.

After a long life, the county magistrate who kills the gods in the world is not satisfied with the world of the sun, so he came to harm the ghosts in the underworld.

This news spread among the ghosts at an extremely fast speed. Of course, there are many good people among them who are setting smoke bombs indiscriminately, and even leading rumors to let the officials of the underworld come forward to take back the deputy seal of the city god in the hands of the county magistrate. After all, being controlled by ghosts is fine Come on, these fierce ghosts are still being shouted around by a mortal, what does that look like!Are they shameless? !

However, after Cheng Jin was invited into the Grand Judge's Hall by the ghost document with these small tricks, he didn't even dare to fart.

That's the master judge. Who dares to make unreasonable remarks about life and death.

"My lord, Xiaosheng can't get in inside." After Zhu Fengnian finished speaking, he pointed to the ghost document next to E Guanbo and said, "My lord, this is the friend Xiaosheng mentioned to you."

After death, everything in the human world becomes false, so most of the ghosts do not mention their names when they are officials in the underworld. Therefore, Zhu Fengnian did not introduce the names of the ghost documents, only saying that they are friends.

"Master Cheng, my humble surname is Lin."

Cheng Jin wondered, this could be a document of the Judge's Hall, which is better than the city god in a small place. Of course, he would not be contemptuous, and after a few chats, as soon as the door opened, Lin Wenshu invited him in.

Cheng Jin wasn't afraid, after all, everyone else had gone to hell, so it would be too late to be afraid now.

As the saying goes, soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, if you knew you couldn't escape the underworld, you might as well come here last time, this time you will definitely be able to come down more calmly.

Seeing Cheng Jin's figure disappear behind the door, the worry on Zhu Fengnian's face was also revealed.

Seeing his friend's expression, Lin Wenshu comforted him and said, "Your lord has great fortune, so you don't have to worry so much." Besides, the judge's temperament, well, it's hard to explain it anyway.

"Really? But Xiaosheng can't control it." Before he came, he was entrusted with important tasks by Taoist priests and cat demons successively. If something went wrong, he would die. After all, the Liuxian regarded him as a ghost He was a hostage, and he threatened the adults to go to the underworld.

"...If you care about it, you will be in chaos. Last time, you asked me to inquire about the Shuimang Liuxian, but now you have some clues."

Lin Wenshu saw a ghost and lured him to his office area, and soon there was no ghost at the gate of the Grand Judge's Hall.

As soon as Cheng Jin entered the main hall, his eyes lit up. There was no natural lighting equipment in the underworld. When entering Fengdu from Yinyang Road, there were only a few failed guide lights on the road.

But in the judge's hall, it was as bright as day. The strange thing is that Cheng Jin didn't see where the light source came from, and even the inside of the hall didn't look like the world imagined, the judge sits high on the temple, shaped like an evil ghost Rakshasa, Holding a mysterious pen, holding the book of life and death, if there is a disagreement, the ghost will be sent to hell.

Well, there are none of these, only a warm room.

Cheng Jin even smelled Jade Pillow Incense, which is more expensive than gold in the world. This thing is priceless, and he only smelled it once at his senior brother.

After a few steps into the hall, Cheng Jin discovered that there were top-to-top bookcases against the wall of the hall. Every bookcase was filled with books, some made of iron and wood, bamboo slips, and paper books. Gospel.

And in the center of the front of the main hall, there is a huge table, which is integrated into one, so big that it can directly form a three-bedroom and two-living room, and it is also full of books.

So for a while, Cheng Jin looked around, but he didn't see the legendary judge.

He tried to speak: "Mortal Cheng Jin, come to pay a visit to Lord Judge."

As soon as Cheng Jin's voice fell, there was the sound of books falling from the other side. Cheng Jin stepped back a few steps and looked up. From afar, he saw a figure sitting up from the sea of ​​books on the huge table, and he stretched lazily. Lazily, she turned her head and met his gaze.

"Who are you?"

...Why bother, just gave him a remote control to open the door, an official is a hypocrite.

Cheng complained in his heart, but introduced himself respectfully on his face.

"Oh yes, look at this officer's memory, magistrate Cheng, it's better to be famous than to meet." The judge jumped off the table, and Cheng Jin realized that the other party's hair was not tied up, and the excessively long hair blocked his eyes, making him unable to see clearly anything about the other party. His mood fluctuated, but even so, he always felt like his heart was beating like thunder.

The judge saw all this in his eyes, but he used a wooden hairpin to randomly tie his hair behind his head, and then said: "The reception is not available, there are no chairs in the hall, if you don't like it, just sit on the ground, and you will have long hair every day." The ghost came to clean up."

... Your underworld is quite useful.

Cheng Jin took off the sword pouch from his waist, presented it to him and said, "This is the locust tree demon soul that has not returned."

The judge waved his hand, and leaned against the leg of the giant table with a lack of interest, with the word boring written all over his pale and handsome face: "You can take it to see that stupid snake by yourself, and I will see you." , not for it."

Cheng Jin didn't refuse, and Yuan hung it back on his waist, so it can be seen that he is a snake and a stick.

When the judge saw this, a little interest flashed in his eyes: "I wanted to see you a long time ago, but it's a pity that you saw it too. I'm so busy with tedious work that I don't even have time to rest. Now I finally see you."

...Just now you were dozing off with your pillow on the Book of Life and Death, and he saw it all.

"Cheng Jin, visitor from another world who strayed into this place, have you been doing well in the past ten years?"

This voice can be described as cadenced, with a certain sense of drama, clearly planning to watch his good show, but to be honest, Cheng Jin...isn't too surprised.

In fact, Cheng Jin felt that his identity was easy to check. The original owner Cheng Jin should have been reincarnated. As long as he checked the book of life and death, his background would definitely be exposed. The judge is the boss in charge of the book of life and death. Instead, he was worried about the future of the underworld.

So Cheng Jin thought about it in an objective spirit before seriously answering: "It's okay, but I miss the air conditioner and wifi."

The judge was taken aback, and the boredom on his face had long been replaced by interest: "I know you are a very interesting person, but do you know that if you don't make this trip to Tangxi, you might never have to see him in your lifetime when you're alive?" Sir."

County Magistrate Cheng shook his head honestly: "I don't know, is there any harm?"

"Ordinary people don't always say that ignorance is a blessing. If you don't know, you can stick to your heart and live like this forever. But since you have come to see me, I will reveal your identity and tell you..."

"tell me what?"

"I tell you, if you are not a soul here, you cannot take the path of death here." After the judge finished speaking, his tone was completely serious and frank, "In other words, you are a person without an afterlife."

If at this moment, Cheng Jin is a Buddhist who cultivates the fate of the next life, then after hearing this, he might have lost his Buddha heart and will return to vulgarity in the next second.But how should I put it? Modern people have no clear concept of reincarnation. Even though Cheng Jin has been in ancient times for ten years, his three views have already been formed.

So he tried to speak: "Then, can you send me back to the original time and space?"

The judge smiled: "Sorry, no."

"Oh, that's okay. Anyway, I've earned it in this life. At worst, when I die, I can take advantage of my master and stay in the world as a lonely ghost."

The judge who originally planned to persuade people to become permanent social animals in the underworld: "...Lonely ghosts, there is no enshrinement."

This is a problem, Cheng Jin thought about it, and immediately said: "This is easy to handle, there is a cat demon in the yamen who owes me life-saving grace, after I die, I will leave the money to him, and let him burn offerings for me. "

... That cat demon, I am afraid that he was so unlucky in his previous life when he dug up the tomb of the emperor.

"You're very interesting, go find that stupid snake." The judge returned to his boring state again. At some time, he had a pen in his right hand, which was still shining with golden light. In the blink of an eye, he dropped a ghost drawing symbol in the void, golden light In a blink of an eye, Cheng Jin quickly disappeared into nothingness. Cheng Jin only felt his heart warm, and he opened his eyes again, and he was already out of the hall.

In my ears, there was still the lazy voice of the judge: "When you have free time, come to the underworld to play. Next time, tell me about the air conditioner and wifi you miss."

Cheng Jin: ...the English pronunciation is quite standard.

The county magistrate of Cheng has always had a strange angle when looking for key points. He has come to the Grand Judge's Palace this time, so he should be regarded as having passed his status.

"Master Cheng, this way please."

Lin Wenshu appeared quietly with Zhu Fengnian at some time, and one person and two ghosts set off to hell to find Liu Xian who was still serving his sentence.

Along the way, Lin Wenshu, who had a much more enthusiastic attitude, was very considerate as a tour guide for one-day ghosts in the underworld. Even this way, there are too few ghosts in the underworld.

Asked if he didn't understand, Cheng Jin immediately said: "There are so few ghosts in the underworld in recent years? I'm sorry, I once heard the ghosts in the mortal world say that there are as many ghosts in the underworld as there are people in the mortal world. Is this an exaggeration?"

Lin Wenshu: ...Actually, no, ghosts are just more afraid of you.

So the kind and considerate Lin Wenshu said more tactfully: "Master Judge has left a breath on you, and the ghosts in the underworld are more afraid of the master's power."

So that's the case, Cheng Jin immediately accepted this explanation, and visited the underworld with great interest.

"The front is the place where Liu Xian was imprisoned. Because of the Shuimangcao incident, his resentment rose greatly, and because of his lack of spirit, the underworld detained him here alone. Your Excellency has the aura of a master judge, so you can go in and see him directly. .”

Cheng Jin thanked him and asked Zhu Fengnian to wait outside before he stepped in.

Because the place where Liu Xian was imprisoned was above a dark water lake, and there were no trestle bridges around, when Cheng Jin walked to the water's edge, he was lifted by a void force towards the ghost lock tower in the center.

When his feet landed again, Cheng Jin saw a familiar monster.

"Master."

Heishan turned his head suddenly, his face full of surprise: "Why are you here? Are you dead?"

"...Master, can't you miss me a little bit?"

Heishan frowned tightly. He found that Cheng Jin, a mortal, was really courageous: "Do you know that it is easy to come and go when a soul enters the underworld?"

Hearing this, Cheng Jin's ears were already callused, so he nodded and said, "I know, I know, but I'm here to see the judge, and it's just by chance."

As he spoke, he swung the sword pouch around his waist.

"You brought that crazy woman too?" Heishan frowned.

...Master, the description of you, a crazy woman, is very spiritual.

Cheng Jin knotted the sword pouch around his waist and threw it over: "Then, the judge said to let us deal with it. Can you find out what happened to the real locust tree demon?"

Heishan took over the sword pouch, which originally belonged to Yan Chixia, and there were remnants of Taoism on it, but this remnant was completely negligible to Heishan: "It was done very cleanly, so the Huai Yao has passed away. , is annihilated.”

In other words, there is no such monster in the underworld.

When Cheng Jin heard this, he immediately wanted to turn his head back to the bank and ask Lin Wenshu.

"What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, she replaced the locust tree demon, and Liu Xian thought that his beloved girl had already been reincarnated, so can I guess that the locust tree demon also replaced her?"

This is a mouthful, but the book of life and death in the underworld cannot be fooled. The reincarnation position has always been a radish and a hole. After so many years, the underworld has not noticed any abnormalities. There must have been ghosts who filled this loophole back then.

"You're right."

In the void of Suo Ghost Tower, Liu Xian's slightly tired voice came.

At the same time, Cheng Jin recited the spell given to him by Daoist Yan, and untied the trap on the sword pouch. The locust tree demon inside flew out of the sword pouch immediately, and she wanted to leave the palm of Heishan as if fleeing. However, at the next moment, an invisible demon force imprisoned her again.

"Liu Lang! Liu Lang! Liu Lang! It's me, it's my Huai Niang! Help me, you help me!"

The sound was shrill, because this ghost was born without tears, no matter how loudly he cried, it was only thunder and no rain, so it was not so touching to watch.
