Chapter 328 Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi

In the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, morality has been lost and demons and ghosts are rampant.

The tree demon occupies the ruined temple, raises sexy ghosts, and eats two-legged sheep as if they were human blood. In such a vast divine dynasty, no one can control it!
In the temple, there is a thousand-year-old centipede, who controls the government in the capacity of a national teacher, leads monsters to eat people, and even disguises himself as a Buddha, accepting incense and worship from people. No one can control him!

This city of the dead in the underworld was originally occupied by the Black Mountain Old Demon. It was in chaos, with big ghosts eating small ghosts and evil ghosts eating each other.

But today, we see that there are ghosts and soldiers coming to maintain order.

That Yama might be Ruan Xiaoqi.

Everyone looked at each other, followed the path paved with dead bones and climbed up the dark and cold Yinshan Mountain. The vague City of the Dead, shrouded in mist, finally revealed its true appearance before everyone's eyes.

The city stood on the dead land, shrouded in mist. The city wall was extremely high, so high that it seemed to have no end. Looking to the left, there was no end to the wall, and looking to the right, there was no end to the wall either. It stood between heaven and earth in panic and silence.

What a city of wrongful death.

Only in the world of immortals, gods and Taoism can such a majestic city appear.

This is simply not something that can be built by mortals.

The city gate was pitch black, like the mouth of a ferocious beast that could swallow all invading enemies.

Cao Jie and his party were carried by the team of ghost soldiers across a deep corridor. The scenery in front of them suddenly changed. It was like a market in the human world. The chaotic place that should have been inhabited by evil spirits was now in order.

“Is this the City of the Dead?”

"This is the new city of the dead that was created after the coming of Yama!" When saying this, the ghost general was extremely respectful, and the ghost soldiers under his command also showed proud expressions.

There are countless legends about the City of the Dead in the mortal world, but when you really get inside, you will find it unremarkable and it looks no different from any other city in the human world.

The straight bluestone street is lined with houses and courtyards built with brown bricks and tiles on both sides, with wooden gates and blue-gray lanterns hanging at the door. The dim light can only illuminate a few feet in front of the door.

Those ghosts who died unjustly stood timidly at the doorsteps of their homes, just like the lower-class people in the world of the living.

"Yan Luo is meeting with Lu Pan. Please wait here for now. When Yan Luo is free, he will call you in."

"This ghost general, please report that Liangshan and his party are here to pay a visit."

"What Liangshan? The sword immortals from Shushan who come to see Yama have to wait to be summoned. That is to say, Yama has ordered that you, the spirits from the mortal world, should be treated well. Just wait!"

Inside the City of the Wrongful Death, a man in a bright red official robe and a black gauze hat was holding a pitch-black thread-bound ancient book in his hand. He had a full beard and his eyes were sharp and cold.

It was that Lu Pan!
"Lu Zhidao, now that I control the City of the Dead and possess the power of Yama, you come to help me pacify the underworld. In the future, you will definitely be canonized as the God of the Underworld. By then, you may be immortal."

Ruan Xiaoqi paced with a figure eight step, his eyes deep and indifferent, as if looking down at the gods in the sky, and an indescribable majesty rushed towards him.

This kind of majesty is the God King who dominates the underworld, and his majestic power has descended.

With ghosts under the roof, how could Judge Lu dare to disobey the orders of his superiors? The official ranks in the underworld are strictly enforced, and the judge is naturally suppressed in front of Yama.

So he bowed his head and said, "Yan Luo drove away the Black Mountain Old Monster and managed this Wrongly Dead City in an orderly manner. Evil ghosts no longer cause trouble. He has done great merits for the human world! I, Lu Zhidao, was summoned by Yan Luo, and I am willing to help you build a real underworld."

"Okay, I have Lu Pan, so I can pacify this underworld."

It is described in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio that Lu Pan was not only a big drinker but also an eloquent speaker. He believed that Zhu Erdan was narrow-minded and had failed the imperial examinations many times, so he selected a good heart for him, and he really got first place in the prefectural and provincial examinations.

Later, Zhu Erdan became discouraged about his career and asked the judge to replace his wife's head with a beautiful one. Without hesitation, Lu Pan found an opportunity to replace Zhu Erdan's wife's head with a beautiful one. This was the head of Wu Shiyu's daughter, who was killed by thieves. Because of this incident, Zhu Erdan and his family became father-in-law and son-in-law. After Zhu Erdan died, he became an official in the underworld because of Lu Pan's relationship.

Putting aside the fact that he abused his power as the judge of the underworld, all these signs indicate that Lu Zhidao has absolutely firmly grasped certain powers in the underworld.

"President Lu, you will be my judge, and I will not treat you unfairly. I, Yan Luo, control the City of the Wrongly Dead, but I have discovered several Yinfa instruments in the city. If you can surrender, they will be yours."

"I wonder what kind of magic weapon it is?"

"One of them should be the Judge's Pen!"

Lu Pan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Which one is it?"

The pitch-black thread-bound ancient book in his hand is the Book of Life and Death. Of course, it is very different from the Book of Life and Death in the hands of the Emperor of Fengdu. It is a supplement within a supplement.

There are quite a few judge pens in the underworld, at least one for each judge.

But power is naturally different.

According to legend, the most famous judge is Judge Cui, whose original name is Cui Jue, who is in charge of the Yin Law Department. He wears a red robe, holds the Book of Life and Death in his left hand and the Judge's Pen in his right hand, and is responsible for extending the life of good people and sending evil people to the underworld.

Zhong Kui can be said to be a household name as a judge. He is in charge of the Punishment Department and can sentence people with his pen.

Ruan Xiaoqi pondered for a moment and said, "It should be the Judge's Pen of the Punishment Department!"

"Lu Zhidao is willing to serve Yama like a dog or a horse, and be willing to die by his side even if it means he will be whipped morning and night."

Kneel on one knee and surrender.

To win people's hearts, you still need sweet treats.

At this time, the ghost general came forward to report: "Master Yan Luo, a group of people from the Yang world have come down the mountain, saying they came from Liangshan..."

"what?"

Lord Yama, who had been so majestic and stern just now, was now so happy that he almost jumped up:

"Hurry, hurry, where are they? Please come over here, no... I'll go to meet them..."

Lu Pan frowned, wondering what kind of sect Liangshan was, and why Lord Yama treated them like this, and then he was shocked.

Dynasties change in the Yang world, and as a Yin god who can travel between the Yin and Yang worlds, he is well aware of this.

"Could it be someone from the Wei Dynasty?"

As Yan Luo escaped, Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and greeted the group of people: "Brother, you are here. It is really a headache for me, Xiaoqi, to manage this huge underworld city. Now that you are here, I feel relieved."

"Seventh Master, you are so majestic!"

Bao Xu, the God of Death, joked, "You made me wait for so long."

Ruan Xiaoqi smiled awkwardly: "Brother Bao Xu, don't laugh at me. I don't know about this! Ignorance is not a crime! Brother, come and see this sacred city I built for you..."

Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi waved his hand, and the huge City of the Dead fell into his palm like Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed...
