Under Gujue Peak, on the endless seashore, four Honghuang Guards were lined up in a row, standing solemnly and motionless. From sunrise to dusk, they looked like four statues made of black iron.

The four Honghuang guards looked far into the distance, their gazes falling directly into the depths of the distant mountains. Their gazes could not help but follow an invisible road, even though the other end of the road was already out of their sight.

In this area at the edge of the Endless Sea, there are scattered rocks, lush green grass, and patches of dense forests, but there are no people inhabiting them. In fact, there is no road. If there is a road, it is because Qingyi just passed through this far away.

Although the dark clouds trampled on the snow and the wind blew, not even a single footprint was left behind, but in the eyes of these ancient guards, this was still a path.

It's just that this road leads to no return and is a dead end.

As the setting sun sank into the sea of ​​clouds, a shout awakened the four Honghuang guards from their clay and wood carvings: "You four don't go to patrol the four realms, and you actually stand here in a daze! Do you want me to carry out the punishment on behalf of the master?"

Five! As the captain, how can you be so ignorant?"

The four prehistoric guards turned around together and greeted Yi Yi. They wore a jade crown to tie their hair, a light robe with wide sleeves, and a bamboo shoot in their arms. However, their whole body was spotless. They had three points to cook wine on the east mountain and sweep the leisurely steps under the cedar.

Dust flavor.

Wu Shang took a step forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, this... Today, the lady is traveling, and only the four of us are seeing her off. If we stand here for a while, we are also seeing her off for the more than 30 brothers who can't come. Also.

Please forgive me. If I must be punished, it should be borne by me alone and has nothing to do with anyone else."

He nodded and said: "It's excusable. However, the rules of our Endless Sea are as great as the sky, no one can make exceptions, and punishments will still be imposed."

At this time, another slightly smaller Honghuang guard said proudly: "If we are going to be punished, we should also be punished together with the fifth captain! Miss, we don't have much time..."

"Thirty-six! What nonsense are you talking about! Miss Jiren is a good person and has magical powers. How can something happen? You have only been born a few years, how do you know anything?" Wu shouted suddenly.

The Honghuang guard was still dissatisfied and shouted: "But Miss, it's obvious..."

"Huh?" A look suddenly as bright as lightning fell on the Honghuang Wei, suppressing Thirty-Six's words with irresistible pressure.

Thirty-six wanted to struggle, but his whole body felt like he was being pressed under a mountain, unable to move at all, let alone continue to speak.

He slowly raised his hand, pointed towards the lonely peak, and said to Wu: "I will punish the four of you to guard this peak for one year. Remember to clean it every day and don't let the master's body become dusty. If any young person breaks in without permission, he will be beheaded."

.”

Wu was very happy and said: "Thank you, sir!"

He didn't respond at all, just drifted away.

Wu glared at Thirty-Six and shouted: "In the next year, you will have something to stretch your muscles and bones. Huh, such good things really shouldn't happen to you. I have said long ago that a grown-up man is the most just.

I will take care of my brothers first for any benefit..."

Before he finished speaking, Yi's voice suddenly floated down from the sky: "I forgot to mention just now, if anyone comes from Qingxu Palace, they must stay with me..."

Wu was stunned at first, then scratched his head hard, but did not see the eyes of the other three Honghuang guards.

Huaqing Palace, Hall of Eternal Life, Concubine Yang dressed up in a high bun, slowly turned around in front of a person-high crystal mirror, wearing a light yellow gauze dress and a goose-yellow dress, a big peony bun, and a jasmine border. The palace was filled with a faint fragrance. A top with four butterflies.

The most eye-catching thing is the flying, hanging golden steps decorated with pearls and jade strings. This was made by Xuanzong's order to get the best purple polished gold from the Zhenku in Lishui.

"The beautiful face on the temples is like a golden step." Concubine Yang smiled brightly at the person in the mirror, walked out of the palace door, and walked down the long white marble steps.

Winter has already entered, and this year’s winter is extremely cold. It snowed heavily the night before, putting a silver-white crown on the beautiful Lishan Mountain. Walking into the Huaqing Palace is another world, and the air is filled with a light

The smell of sulfur, the trees are still green, and geothermal steam rises slowly from the gaps between the exposed black soil and rocks, making it as warm as spring.

Concubine Yang walked slowly and slowly, with her left hand on Gao Lishi's arm and her right hand holding a green ruyi, walking forward at a leisurely pace. She enjoyed the scenery along the way and her calm demeanor did not look like the one who had made Emperor Ming wait for a long time.

.

Gao Lishi didn't rush her, he just helped her walk step by step, chatting with him about temple anecdotes and village legends. He turned around two tall cedar trees standing proudly and continued to the right, passing through Jiulong Lake in front and overlooking Huaqing Pond on the north bank.

Still in sight.

Yang Yuhuan asked intentionally or unintentionally: "The emperor has not been in high spirits these days. Does Eunuch Gao know why?"

Gao Lishi sighed heavily and said: "Hey! Isn't it about the demons of Daode Sect? To say that these demons really have some skills, there are only six or seven hundred people in the palace, but they were beaten by seven thousand monks before.

They were surrounded. They had a good siege, but they used some evil magic to kill all the immortals surrounding the mountain! The old slave heard that even Sun Guoshi was defeated. After hearing this, His Majesty was furious and worried.

I won't be able to sleep well for a few days. Madam, think about it, since those demons are so powerful, it would be a bad idea if they came to Chang'an to commit driving offenses!"

Yang Yuhuan screamed in shock, covered his mouth with Yu Ruyi, and said: "This Huaqing Palace is located in a remote place, but it is a bit dangerous."

Gao Lishi said: "The old slave also advised the emperor to drive back to the palace as soon as possible, but the emperor scolded the old slave back. However, the emperor is the destined emperor, and he has the protection of immortals from all directions. I understand that those demons can be rampant for a while, but they are not happy.

What a storm there will be. Don’t worry, my queen, if the demonic attack really comes, I will risk my life to protect my queen."

Only then did Yang Yuhuan calm down from the shock. His jade face was as white as snow. He patted his chest with Yu Ruyi and breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Eunuch Gao is determined. However, the demonic power is so powerful that we cannot take it lightly! Alas, if the emperor can issue an edict,

, invite the world's righteous people to enter the palace to protect you, so you don't have to worry about the evil ways of the Tao Te Sect anymore, right?"

Gao Lishi slapped his forehead with his left hand and shouted: "Your Majesty is still smart! If the emperor personally recruits the people, the Taoist people in the world will definitely follow the trend. Why do they have to worry about those evil ways? In the past, the emperor left all these matters to Sun Guoshi.

, now it seems that Sun Guoshi mostly pretends to be a public servant, rejects talents, and is only willing to appoint people who are close to Zhenwu Guan, which leads to a complete failure and even his own life. Alas, the old slave should have seen that Sun Guo is narrow-minded.

He is a common man who can achieve great things. Don’t worry, my dear, if I have time these two days, I will definitely give advice to the emperor!"

Yang Yuhuan said hurriedly: "Yuhuan is just a daughter, how can she know what the big deal is? Just now I was in a hurry and just talked nonsense. Father-in-law, please don't take it seriously."

Gao Lishi sighed: "Your Majesty is a fairy-like figure. Just talking about it casually is better than the old slave thinking hard for three years!"

While Yang Yuhuan was chatting and laughing with Gao Lishi, he raised the jade Ruyi in his hand. One of the palace maids following him immediately stepped up and took the green jade Ruyi.

"This thing is so heavy. My hands are a little sore. Please put it back." Yang Yuhuan said lazily.

The palace maid looked pretty and pretty, so she immediately said yes. But when her eyes fell on the snow-like skin on Yang Yuhuan's arms, she revealed a hint of hunger filled with burning desire.

Yang Yuhuan waved her hand, and with the support of Gao Lishi, she continued to walk towards Huaqing Pool. She seemed to be admiring the nearby plum blossoms and the distant mountains, but secretly she was scolding the palace maid with a secret method: "You incompetent thing, when will

You only know the word "sex"! Wasn't the lesson I taught you last time enough? If you mess with me, I will definitely castrate you with my own hands!"

The palace maid hurriedly replied with a secret method: "If my junior sister is not beautiful and fragrant, how can I, as a senior brother, keep it under control? Junior sister, don't worry, I will definitely bring the news!"

Yang Yuhuan paused and said slowly: "I'll say it again! When the emperor issues an edict to invite virtuous people in the world, please ask the master to send someone to present the taboo method to the emperor. In addition, you summon An Lushan and ask him

Go to Chang'an as soon as possible, I have something important to discuss with you."

When the palace maid heard this, she was jealous and annoyed, and couldn't help but said: "Are you going to take advantage of that fat pig again?"

Yang Yuhuan snorted, his face still as soft as a spring breeze, but his voice suddenly revealed an indescribable coldness, and he only replied: "It seems that I am going to lose a senior brother."

"you!……"

Although the palace maid dressed as Senior Brother Yang Yuhuan was sulky, she still had fresh memories of the last encounter. She did not dare to be stubborn and left in a hurry.

Gao Lishi seemed to have realized something. He turned back to look at the palace maid and said, "Where did this servant come from? How come he is so clumsy and moves so slowly when delivering something?"

Yang Yuhuan didn't look back, and said lazily: "Who says it's not the case? The servants in the Huaqing Palace are not very smart, and they are not as good as the people in the palace."

The matter was over. Gao Lishi supported Concubine Yang and continued to walk slowly towards Huaqing Pool, not in a hurry.

The Huaqing Pool has long been filled with hot hot springs, and the petals of the fragrant soup have been sprinkled. There are stone stoves at each corner of the pool, burning the fragrance of blue and musk deer. The Ming Emperor, wearing a thin yellow silk shirt and bare feet, is walking around the Huaqing Pool.

He was pacing in circles. He had been waiting for a full moment, but Yang Yuhuan still hadn't arrived, so the fire in his heart was burning brightly.

At this moment, there were many worries and things, which made Emperor Ming even more angry. Only Yang Yuhuan's snowy muscles could make him temporarily put aside his worries about the Taoist Sect and the evil way and his hatred for the incompetent Sun Guo.

Emperor Ming was waiting impatiently. Yang Yuhuan was not impatient at all, but the sun was shining brightly that day, and the bright sunlight reflected the long jade steps, which stung her eyes slightly. The long white jade steps in front of her seemed to be walking like this.

There is no end either.

So her heart quietly tightened.

There has been no peace in the underworld for a long time.

In the main hall of King Guang of Qin, hundreds of tall tallow candles illuminated the entire hall brightly. The ghost clerks kept flowing with copywriting. From time to time, copywriters hurried out of the palace holding a pile of approved manuscripts, but they held the copywriting to be approved.

More people entered the palace. King Qin Guang stood alone in front of the case, writing as fast as he could, and reviewing the case files one after another. However, the pile of documents on the desk was still like a mountain, and it was getting higher and higher.

With all the ghosts and immortals around him, King Qin Guang will not be physically tired. However, day after day, approving thousands of case files every day is really a very tiring job. He only feels that he has never been so tired in hundreds of years.

.However, looking at the documents on the desk, King Qin Guang immediately cheered up, dipped his ink pen in his hand, and made annotations quickly. In a short time, the thick volume on the desk had been approved.

At this time, except for King Pingping, the other eight hell kings are also very busy like King Qin Guang. The shortfall of five million dead souls is not easy to make up for. Even if a group of hell kings can make up for the shortfall of five thousand every day

, we have to fight for thousands of days before we can succeed. The time for inspection from the upper realm is getting closer and closer, and no king of hell dares to slack off. Because King Qin Guang personally ordered the activation of the formation, it cost 5 million

Dead souls have the greatest responsibility and are therefore the most diligent.

There are only two methods to make up for the deficit of dead souls, one is to increase revenue, and the other is to reduce expenditure. The so-called increase of revenue means that all those who can be imprisoned or not are sent to various prisons; those who should be sentenced to fifty years should be changed to

Two hundred years; those who should only be sent to the first prison will be directly assigned to visit all eighteen prisons, and so on. The so-called saving means that those who should be released from prison and reincarnated will find excuses to stay in each prison as much as possible.

Except for those important figures who have limited the fate of reincarnation, the rest will not be let go.

As you can imagine, the work was voluminous. After only a few days, King Qin Guang had already approved the papers until his eyes were dazzled.

But this is not a trivial matter. With just one stroke, a dead soul has been added to the misfortune of hundreds of years. It will not matter if you sentence someone who has been fried for fifty years to burned for two hundred years.

It's not enough for a filial son to be imprisoned for fifty years. Being stabbed by someone with intentions is definitely a big mistake that cannot be covered up. You can't pretend to be a subordinate in this kind of thing. You must be careful of someone secretly framing you and taking the opportunity to criticize you. Therefore,

Therefore, the kings of hell in each palace could only do it themselves. Even if they criticize and judge randomly, there must be a limit, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the superiors.

Such an extraordinary period should not be disturbed, but the human world is in chaos. One after another, people who need special treatment are coming in the form of souls. Many of them have not yet reached the time of reincarnation. Naturally, there are many among them.

I am a young cultivator. When all the kings of hell were tired and dizzy, they relaxed their hands and ordered a few people to go to jail and suffer. Afterwards, when they realized something was wrong, it had already been several days to dozens of days, so they checked

Borrowing, picking up, and releasing people is a lot of work. And those who should not be imprisoned, even the luckiest ones, have been in the frying pan several times. There are a few people here who are profound, but they have to lead the way.

Needless to say, those who have their hearts set on reincarnation are filled with resentment before leaving. I just don’t know what kind of achievements these people will achieve after reincarnation, and whether they will recall every bit of their past events in the underworld.
To be continued...
