Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Ying Moyan was sitting at the desk, on the book of life and death spread out, the characters in small script were swimming like tadpoles in front of his eyes, as if they were about to break free from the white paper and become tiny light shadows floating in the air.

He straightened his back involuntarily, raised his hands and rubbed his temples wearily.

However, this action did not have any practical effect, on the contrary, it made the dizziness worse, and the tadpoles shook more and more, as if they were driving the book of life and death to rustle.

He grabbed the corner of the desk and took a low breath, trying to dispel the feeling of spinning around.

Slowed down a bit, and when his eyes became clear, he saw the few official documents piled up on the desk with yellow lacquer with fire patterns, which burned his eyes very much.

The official document comes from the highest decree of heaven, and the contents can be known without opening it.

One urgent message after another made him bored and anxious; thinking about Lin Gongru who was not in front of him, he couldn't eat and sleep in the Yan Luo Temple even more.Or if you just stay in Yuexiaju, even if the master is cold-faced, you can still seek peace of mind.

He was in a trance, when suddenly there was an order from outside the hall.

"Reporting to Lord Yan, Li Bing, the god of the year, and Huang Chengyi, the god of the moon, are asking to see you."

The hand holding the pen paused slightly, and Ying Moyan couldn't help but smile wryly.

——I didn't expect it to come so fast.

He put down the vermilion pen, adjusted his appearance, and said tiredly.

"welcome."

Two fairies with beards and copper-yellow robes entered the Yan Luo Hall side by side, with smiles on their faces and a pleasant smile on their faces. When they saw Ying Moyan sitting on the seat, they bowed their hands together without waiting for a greeting. : "Your Majesty has met Lord Yan Jun."

Although he already guessed why these two people came, Ying Moyan decided to pretend to be stupid first.

He bowed his head to the two immortal officials, and said politely: "You two meritorious lords, you came to the underworld from a long distance, and you don't know why? But the merits and virtues judged by the underworld in the book of life and death are wrong?"

Li Bing, the god of the year, Huang Chengyi, the god of the moon, Zhou Deng, the god of the sun, and Liu Hong, the god of the time, are collectively called "four-valued meritorious officials" in the heavenly court. The emperor is used as a herald.

The four of them showed up secondly, and it was clear at a glance whose purpose they came for.

Li Bing, the god of the year, immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Lord Yan Jun is joking. Since he took office, Yan Jun has been impartial and selfless, and has never been negligent. The emperor also praised Lord Yan Jun for his diligence and seriousness. Order the subordinate officials to do more study, and it is too late for the subordinate officials to respect Yan Jun, so how can they have other ideas."

The moon god on the side also repeatedly said yes.

Ying Moyan remained calm: "The two adults came to the underworld for...?"

"I don't want to hide from Yan Jun, the old man misses Yan Jun very much, and he has been courteously and courteously, but Yan Jun is unmoved; no, I have to let the two officials go together and invite Yan Jun to drive me. .”

"Ying Moyan thanked the emperor for his concern. There are a lot of new souls in the underworld recently, and they are entangled in trivial matters. It is really too late. I also ask the two adults to convey Ying Moyan's apology on your behalf. When this matter is over, I will definitely go to heaven and tell the emperor. crime."

He will go back without pain or itching.

The two heroes looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

"Emperor does have important matters to discuss, and Yan Jun shirks it several times, which is rude." Li Bing smiled and said, "Even if there are all kinds of important matters in the underworld, it only takes a few days to go back and forth to the heaven. Yan Jun has many talents , presumably it won’t be unable to function due to the absence of just a few days. Yan Jun, don’t make things difficult for Xiaguan and others.”

Naturally, he couldn't afford to offend Ying Moyan, but the emperor's order to invite the new Lord of the Underworld was also a firm order.

Ying Moyan smiled and said: "Ying Moyan has not been in office for more than a hundred years. It seems that the weight is not enough. How can the emperor discuss important matters with me?"

Huang Chengyi, the god of the moon, is upright and straightforward, and blurted out at once: "Yan Jun, don't practice Tai Chi, Fairy Yaolian returned to the heaven, but I read your book, saying that you ignored the will of the immortal friend and forcibly escorted her back. , Dijun is upset about this matter."

"Did the two immortal officials come here to ask for this matter?" Ying Moyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled, "The fairy is serious, Ying Moyan is following the order of the Emperor of Heaven, and sent someone to escort the fairy back, why come to force the escort?" Say it? It’s a small misunderstanding, Lord Gongcao will explain it for me.”

Huang Chengyi said quickly: "What about Lin Gongru?"

Just now, the atmosphere of laughing at Yanyan suddenly froze.

Ying Moyan: "..."

Finally got to the point.

He lowered his face slightly, looked at the two people who had become a little embarrassed, and said, "Lin Gongru...how is it?"

Anyway, this is not an easy job. Now that the topic has been brought up, the two heroes can no longer chat with him.

Li Bingdao: "Fairy Yaolian has informed the emperor that Lin Gongru's soul has returned to the underworld hundreds of years ago; for some reason, he has been detained by the underworld, neither letting him reincarnate, nor allowing him to practice fairy bones again. What's more. It is rumored that Master Yan Jun banished him to a world "beyond reincarnation" that even the Emperor of Heaven could hardly control. Lin Gongru's past crimes were not clear, and there was still a grievance between him and the fairy to be investigated. Yan Jun detained him privately. Controlling Nuo Jiu, I'm afraid it's overstepping the rules."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Ying Moyan frowned slightly, but smiled instead of anger, and said contemptuously, "What the emperor means is that Ying Moyan, as the lord of the underworld, will treat a mortal who is deprived of his immortality and entered into reincarnation. The soul, without the ability to left and right?"

"It doesn't mean that, after all, the crimes tied to him are serious—"

Ying Moyan said sharply: "No matter how serious the crime is, the emperor has already issued a decree that day, depriving him of his immortal status and pushing him down to the Zhuxian Terrace. Isn't this punishment enough? Isn't it already settled? What else is there to 'investigate grievances'?"

Li Bing and Huang Chengyi were speechless and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The two hesitated for a long time, then bit the bullet and said: "The meaning of the emperor is that there are still doubts. This... Lord Yan, please do not violate the will of the emperor because of personal feelings. After all, you and General Lin..."

Ying Mo laughed loudly: "I'm afraid it's a lie if the doubts are not clear, but it's true to ask Lin Gongru to go down, and bring him back to the heaven to be manipulated by others!"

He leaned back, leaned on the back of the wide chair, crossed his fingers, and stared at the two people coldly: "I don't know where he went."

The two heroes looked at each other, helpless.

"Yan Jun, it's not a trivial matter to lie to you."

Ying Mo Yan Jingjing said: "The situation of Yan Luodian, the two meritorious officers have also seen it. The ghosts and monsters are full of pits and valleys, and I really have no way to escape. If the meritorious Cao knows about Lin Gongru's whereabouts, please let me know. Today Ying Mo Yan There are still many official matters to be approved, so I will not send them."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Li Bing and Huang Chengyi, picked up the ink brush that he had put down just now, and focused on the official documents on the desk again.

"..."

"..."

Although he had heard about the arrogant and cold temper of the new Yan Jun, he did not expect that he would turn his face and ignore him in the end.

He refused to reveal the whereabouts of Lin Gongru that Fairy Yaolian was thinking about, and sooner or later the emperor would dig up the news from other places.

The two heroes had no choice but to return in vain, cupped their hands, harassed and retreated.

After waiting for someone to leave for a long time, Ying Moyan threw down his pen, and the calmness he had been forcibly supporting just now finally collapsed, and fine sweat appeared on his face.

He pursed his lips, leaned forward tightly against the edge of the table, his body trembled slightly, his dizziness became stronger and stronger, and he almost slipped off the back of the chair.

He didn't dare to show the slightest bit in front of Li Bing and Huang Chengyi, if they noticed that he was unwell, became suspicious, and went back to report to the Emperor of Heaven, Lin Gongru would be implicated.

He just didn't expect that Dijun really dared to send someone to his door, and directly asked him for someone...

If Lin Gongru was taken back to the Heavenly Court with a broken soul and body, and fell into the hands of the emperor who hated him even more back then, it is uncertain how he would be tortured.

He couldn't delay any longer, he had to give the last bit of heart and soul to Lin Gongru, and save him first.

The trembling fingertips twirled the seal to make a formula, Ying Moyan's lips moved twice, and barely managed to read the formula completely, and his figure disappeared in the hall of Yama.

Yuexiaju is still a gorgeous scene with peach red, pink and bright red intertwined regardless of the four seasons.

Lin Gongru sat against the wall of the bed, looking at the flower petals flying in the courtyard boredly.

Compared with the hundreds of years when I was alone in a dark and humid underworld with a ghost wandering around, the house I am in now has a strange taste, but it is still somewhat popular.Except for the unpalatable decoction that makes people have suicidal thoughts again, life is not too difficult.

He pinched his nose and gulped down the liquid medicine in the medicine cup, then threw the empty medicine cup back on the table.

There used to be a heavy book on the table, and the cover was gaudy and gaudy in pink.

It seems that the gray-haired old man left it a few days ago, and he forgot to pick it up.So Lin Gongru used it as a pillow and slept comfortably under the back of his head.

He had no intention of reading a book, and when he used it to cushion his pillow, he saw the word "marriage" on the cover of the book, and he had a casual impression: it also matched the exaggerated tone.

——in the true sense of "forgotten in the back of my mind".

What he really cared about was other things. For example, he calculated that Ying Moyan seemed to have not appeared in Yuexia Residence for four days.

Since the last time he repeated his old trick and gave him a supercilious look, through the crack of the window, he saw Yan Wen, that ugly old man and the white-haired old man surrounding Ying Moyan, and the three of them were sneaking around without knowing what to say.After Ying Moyan finished listening, she showed a reluctant expression, and looked at herself several times in a row, with complicated eyes, as if she was very reluctant...

Reluctant?

Lin Gongru had untimely goosebumps all over his body because of his imagination.

He shook his head, trying to drive away the unbelievable and terrifying imagination.

Ying Moyan will be reluctant to give up on him, probably the Wangchuan River will flow backwards, and the ghosts will return to the yang.

Being placed under house arrest to recuperate and not allowed to go out, Lin Gongru had nothing else to do, so he kept retracing in his mind the details of the seventh life that Ying Moyan forced to enter.

Ye Mingjue and their voices and smiles are still as vivid as before. Whether he is awake or sleeping with his eyes closed, he can clearly and unmistakably recall every detail of getting along with them.

Every time he recalled it, the piercing pain would add up, and he was already a little numb at the end; but every time at the end of the memory, those seven people all turned into "little nerds" who couldn't see their faces clearly, with a twitch at the corner of their mouth. Smiling, talking softly with him, but the voice and appearance could not be distinguished clearly.

His physical strength and body are gradually recovering, and it won't be long before he can meet the conditions for Ying Moyan.

At that time, he must think of a way to deal with it, so that he will not be led by the nose by Ying Moyan...

But how can we achieve the first opportunity to control the enemy?

He doesn't have any chips in hand to blackmail Ying Moyan, if he really wants to fight, let alone one against three, even if he confronts Ying Moyan head-on, he probably won't be able to defeat the majestic lord of the underworld...

Lin Gongru was spending all his free time thinking about the countermeasures when he suddenly saw the petals flying wildly in the courtyard, as if they were frozen in mid-air; then, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing in front of him, and the peach blossoms shrank by half , One after another scrambled to turn back into a flower bone.The courtyard, which was still bustling just now, suddenly became deserted and depressed.

Judging from this posture, Ying Moyan should have appeared.

The strange thing is that Ying Moyan didn't seem to be like the previous days. The first thing he did when he visited Yuexiaju was to come to this house to see him.Lin Gongru waited for about half an hour, but he didn't see that person appearing, so he rolled his eyes when he was ready, but he didn't find a chance to get out.

Feeling surprised in his heart, he got up from the wall of the bed where he was sitting, and listened to the movement in the yard with his ears up.

Somewhere far, far away, there seemed to be faint disputes.

Lin Gongru listened for a long time, but the other party deliberately lowered his voice to speak, even if he has a certain level of martial arts, it is really difficult to hear clearly.

He raised his eyebrows, moved himself to the side near the window, and pushed the casement open a thin crack.

The voice became a little clearer, and it was Yan Wen who said sharply: "I don't care what the emperor plans to do, I just catch him, that's his life. Is this kind of thing a joke? I said it will last seven days , you have to honestly wait for me for seven days!"
