Chapter 329: Hongmen Banquet (4000; I will update more soon!)
“What is this place, why am I here?”
In a daze, Li Shimin opened his heavy eyes. Iron eyes Pi, looking around, he saw that he was walking on a blue-black road with fiery red demon flowers blooming on both sides. There were countless people who looked like shady people around him. They were in groups of two, either holding banners or holding knives, escorting each one. It looks like a ghostly figure.
Consciousness gradually returned to his mind, and he suddenly reacted. He turned around and saw, as expected, that there were two Yinzi behind him.
"Brothers, what is going on?" Li Shimin asked in a low voice, forcing a flattering smile on his face.
"I can't tell you, Mai, you're dead..." Bai Yi said slyly.
Li Shimin's smile froze and he said in disbelief: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could I die when I'm so good? This is a dream, right? This is not real, right?"
< br>"Pa."
Bai Yiyin slapped him hard on the head, and the loud sound spread far and wide on the silent road.
"Hiss." Li Shimin held his head in his hands in pain and squatted on the ground, gasping for air.
"Does it hurt?" Bai Yi said slyly.
“It hurts.” Li Shimin groaned.
"That's right, it hurts, it means you are not dreaming." Baiyi Yinzai said with a smile: "Everything you see is real."
" No, no." Li Shimin said: "How can ghosts feel pain? How can ghosts feel pain if they don't even have a body?"
"Idiot, if ghosts don't feel pain, then the eighteen levels of hell are built. What are you here for?" Bai Yi said in a tone of silence.
Li Shimin: "..."
After a long time, seeing that he was about to reach the end of the road, Li Shimin said quickly: "I want to know how I died!"
"I drank to death. "The man in white clothes said sinisterly.
This sentence was like a whisk, sweeping away the chaos in his memory, and the scenes were quickly replayed in his mind like a slideshow.
Last night, when he returned home, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, but the less willing he was to think about it, the shadow of Zhong Li kept coming into his mind.
The shame and anger are only one aspect. What's even more frightening is that he seems to be lost because of this aspect.
The more I think about it, the stronger my desire for Zhongli becomes, completely out of control!
He didn't know if this was a mental illness, but he knew clearly that he could no longer stay alone, so he went out to find a tavern and planned to get drunk.
Unexpectedly, he came to the underworld as soon as he was drunk...
“Kneel down!”
Not long after, two undercover officers escorted him to a large hall and shouted.
Li Shimin's legs went weak and he instinctively fell to his knees, looking forward with confusion.
"Bang!"
Above the high hall, the judge in a green robe slapped the hall and shouted: "Li Shimin, do you know your crime?"
"I don't know. ." Li Shimin shuddered, not knowing what would happen if he confessed, so he could only shake his head and said.
"You are the leader of all evils of sexual immorality. You have had relationships with hundreds of women one after another. You have committed a major crime of sexual immorality. You should be punished by having your heart cut out, your kidneys cut out, rats gnawing at you, being put in an oil cauldron, and your car crashing!" the judge announced.
Li Shimin felt a chill in his heart. Just by hearing the names, he knew that these punishments were capital punishments. If it really happened to him, he would be extremely painful!
"My lord, I refuse to accept it. Those women and I were both voluntary, and there was no coercion. How could the sentence be so severe?"
"If it were just that, of course it would not be the case. There is such a heavy punishment, but the problem is that there is a financial transaction between you, and it is a transaction of subjective will, so you should be punished severely to set an example."
Li Shimin argued: "Don't make it so serious, it's just a job. I put in my hard work and energy at work, and the client gives me some compensation for my labor afterwards. What's wrong with this?"
"Of course you are wrong." The judge said sternly: "Your job is an accomplice to disease and a breeding ground for evil. It is inconsistent with the laws of nature. How dare you say that you are right?"
Seeing that his sophistry was no longer possible, Li Shimin Eye As soon as the ball turned, he immediately changed his strategy and said in a low voice: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please calm down, um, do you know Lin Jiu? He is my uncle."
"No. "The judge said.
"Where is Qin Yao? He is my brother."
"I don't know him either." The judge was impatient and ordered: "Come on, take this guy out for me. Sent to Zhuxintai”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Li Shimin panicked. In his desperation, he thought of the mysterious Zhong Li and shouted, "Do you know Zhong Li? That's my client!"
"Wait a minute. Wait!" Just when two gangsters, one black and one white, were about to grab his arm, Judge Qingyi suddenly stopped him and shouted, "Who are you talking about?"
"Zhong Li, I said Zhong Li. "
Seeing this, Li Shimin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and took two steps forward on his knees: "Your Majesty, Zhong Li is my client, and you have no relationship with me. If you do this to me, she will definitely be angry."
"The Zhong Li you are talking about is the sister of Zhong Kui, the leader of the Punishment Department?" Judge Qing Yi confirmed.
"That's right, she is Zhong Kui's sister. At this life-and-death moment, how could I possibly talk about an irrelevant person?" Li Shimin followed his words and shouted.
The green-clothed judge frowned, stood up, and said to the two ghost officers: "You guys have an eye on this guy. I will come as soon as I go."
"Yes, sir." Two Yin Chai cupped his fists and bowed at the same time.
After the judge left, Li Shimin sat down on the ground, wiped his forehead subconsciously, and made up his mind that no matter who came over later, he would kill his relationship with Zhong Li.
He doesn’t want to try any of those horrific hell punishments!
After a long time.
The judge in green led a man in black into the hall. Li Shimin, who was sitting on the ground, heard the movement and knelt down quickly. He turned around and saw the man in black with disheveled hair and a thin and narrow face. He had a stern face and looked like he was not easy to talk to.
"Master Ghost Judge, please take a seat."
The judge in green welcomed the man in black to the judge's stand like a dog, and asked him to take a seat with a smile on his face.
The ghost judge didn’t look sideways, strode to the back of the judge’s desk, lifted his robe, sat in the judge’s chair, and looked down at the ghost in the hall: “You said Zhong Li is your client, you Have a good relationship with Zhong Li? ”
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my lord, Zhong Li and I have had skin-to-skin contact..."
The Ghost Judge stared at him for a while, then lowered his eyes to look at the yin and yang on the table. Scroll, silently reciting the birth date of Li Shimin, counting with his fingers, his eyes suddenly widened.
He really figured it out, there is indeed a cause and effect between this guy and Zhong Li.
As for the cause and effect...
I don’t know what kind of interference it has caused. This hexagram is hazy and unclear, and I can’t see it clearly.
"Du, du, du."
Putting down the yin and yang scroll, the ghost judge gently tapped the table and said suddenly: "Li Shimin, do you know that I have a grudge against Zhong Kui?"
Li Shimin There was a thump in his heart, and his body and soul trembled, but he immediately came to his senses and kowtowed: "I am willing to serve you." It’s all a matter of effort!”
“You are a smart man”
The ghost judge smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually became sharper: “Do something for me, and after it is completed, Not only can I absolve you of all culpability, I can even label you as a traitor!”
Li Shimin secretly cried out when he heard that he promised a huge reward.
The Ghost Judge is right, he is a smart man, but because of this smartness, he knows how difficult it is to get this benefit.
For the moment aside, who is Zhong Kui? He is a well-known figure in the three realms. How can you please him if you go against him?
Unfortunately, things have come to this, and there is no room for him to resist...
"Sir, please tell me, I, no, I will do my best!"
"Very good, I like people who know how to promote." The ghost judge stood up slowly and said solemnly: "I want Zhong Li's child."
"What?" Li Shimin looked stunned: "Zhong Li has A child?”
“If you don’t have a child now, won’t it be over if you have one with her?” He said with a half-smile: "Didn't you say that Zhong Li is your client? This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Li Shimin's mind was racing, and he hurriedly said: "I am a ghost, she is a human, this How can she give birth to a child? "
"Who told you that she is a human being?" the ghost judge asked. Li Shimin complained secretly and said with a bitter smile: "Okay, I'll do it all. The main reason is that Zhong Li has someone he likes now. Even if I want to get close to her, she won't be willing!"
The Ghost Judge frowned and shouted: "Are you sure?"
"I swear on my life." Li Shimin raised three fingers and swore.
"This is a troublesome thing..." the ghost judge muttered to himself.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief silently, and said to himself: I advise you to give up this idea. Zhong Kui is an iron-clad enemy, and if you insist on confronting him head-on, you will definitely not end well in the end!
"This is for you." Not long after, the Ghost Judge summoned two crimson talismans from his hand and pushed them in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin anxiously took the talisman and asked, "Sir, what is this?"
"The acacia talisman."
The ghost judge said: " As long as you can find a way to stick one of them on the clock If you put another one on your body, she will treat you as her lover in a dream but not a dream within twelve hours. In this case, why worry about the secret knot? ”
Li Shimin: "..."
He never expected that there would be such an evil thing in the world!
Is the gentleman in front of me really an underworld official?
……
……
“How was the effect?”
Department of Punishing Evil, in the main hall.
Zhong Kui looked at the tall figure who entered the hall with a smile, looking confident.
Qin Yao's cheek twitched and he said sincerely: "Old Master, I feel something is not right!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's me Help Ah Li find a husband, right? But after doing what you said, why does it feel like I’m seducing Ah Ji?”
"You came to me for advice, and I didn't ask you to prepare a surprise for my little sister. If anything is wrong, what does it have to do with me?" Zhong Kui said calmly.
Qin Yao: "..."
"I hope she can find the one she loves soon." After a long time, he said quietly.
“Are you seriously interested in my sister?” Zhong Kui asked, looking at her.
Qin Yao: "How should I put it? It lacks a moment of surprise, so I don't call you very often.
It’s okay to hook up irresponsibly, but with you here, if I really hook up, do I dare to be irresponsible?
By then, the status issue alone will be enough to give me a headache, let alone other issues. "
"What is a moment of surprise? Zhong Kui looked puzzled: "Besides other things, my sister is a beauty no matter how you say it. Isn't that enough to amaze you?" "
"To give an inappropriate example, when I first laid eyes on her, I had no criminal impulse in my heart. "Qin Yao spread his hands.
Zhong Kui was speechless: "You said you have a wife, don't tell me, this is your standard for finding a wife! ! ”
"In fact, this is it." Qin Yao said: "The first time I met Xiaozhuo, it was like dry wood meeting fire. The first time I met Nianying, taboo thoughts came to mind."
“You are just looking for sex!” Zhong Kui judged.
"I don't deny it." Qin Yao said: "But this is the source of motivation in the beginning. If you don't even have this motivation, it means you really don't feel it."
Zhong Kui There is an evil feeling in my heart for no reason Huo snorted coldly: "Then why don't you hurry up and find a husband for her, and why are you coming to my place again?"
Qin Yao sighed: "It's not that I want to come, it's that A'li insists on letting her go." I’m here to treat you to dinner.”
"Where to eat?" Zhong Kui was surprised.
“Go to her house.”
“Her house?”
Qin Yao pursed his lips: “It’s the yard I gave her.”
Zhong Kui licked his lips, and the evil fire in his heart suddenly subsided for the most part: "What to eat?"
"She asked me to cook!" Qin Yao said helplessly.
Zhong Kui's heart moved, and a smile reappeared on his face: "Very good, very good, then let's go."
Qin Yao suddenly became alert: "Don't misunderstand anything. "
"No need to explain." Zhong Kui raised his right hand and walked out first: "Hurry up, I'm hungry."
Qin Yao: "..."
< br>
Why does it feel like this vortex is getting bigger and bigger?
Two hours later.
Evening.
Zhong Kui sits in the main room with his golden sword, looking like a picture of Zhong Kui suppressing evil.
In the kitchen, Qin Yao was in charge of the dishes and Zhong Li was doing the miscellaneous tasks. The cooperation between the two parties gradually became tacit.
"Can I ask a question?" Qin Yao asked softly after cooking the food, pouring it into the plate.
"Of course." Zhong Li turned to look at him, his eyes sparkling.
“Why do you want me to invite your brother to dinner here?”
“No reason.” Zhong Li said casually: “It’s just an idea that suddenly popped into my mind.”
< br>Qin Yao didn't quite believe it, but he couldn't question it, so he had to suppress the doubt in his heart again.
In the blink of an eye.
Plates of dishes were brought to the table one after another. Zhong Kui, who was sitting at the main seat, watched them working in pairs, and the smile on his face never fell.
"Do you want to drink?"
After a while, when Qin Yao took Zhong Li to his seat, Zhong Kui took out two jars of wine and asked with a smile.
Qin Yao waved his hand: "I don't like drinking, you can always have a drink."
"What's the point of me drinking alone? Little sister, go find two wine glasses." Zhong Kui said without any doubt.
Qin Yao: "..."
Question: What should you do if your leader drinks alcohol in the workplace? ? ?
Zhong Li got up and went to the kitchen to get two bowls, and gently placed them in front of the two of them: "There are no cups in the kitchen, only bowls. Why don't you just drink from the bowls?"
" Okay, have fun drinking from the bowl!" Zhong Kui laughed.
Qin Yao felt drumming in his heart.
Damn it.
Why do you feel like something is going to happen tonight?
Drinking...
It’s easy to get into trouble! ! !
