A seemingly real city appeared in front of Chen Jianchen and Xi Fangping, with city gates, moats, and people coming and going. It was very real, just like Jiangzhou in the real world. Cai@红*文￥学%网
As soon as they saw the dull faces and erratic movements of the people going in and out, as if they were empty bodies, they knew they had arrived at the boundary of Jiangzhou under the jurisdiction of the Yin Division.
The Yinsi must also be a huge world. In this world, just like the Tiantong Dynasty, it is divided into many plate areas, and there are also eighteen states.
The Jiangzhou in front of you is just one of them.
Chen Jianchen was very curious and thought that if the underworld world was connected, would it be like in reality, with sedans, horses, carriages and other means of transportation, so that one could go from one state to another...
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a fierce horse galloping from the other direction - that horse was very strange. Its whole body was as black as ink, but it seemed to be transparent and had no substantial muscle frame. At first glance, it seemed that
It is a horse made of a ball of gas. You can rub your eyes and take a closer look. It is clearly a horse again.
The horse's mane and tail are surprisingly long, fluttering, and very elegant and free.
The knight on horseback is tall and tall. He wears a wide-brimmed felt hat, which hides his face. However, he is wearing a soap coat with a big word "bad" written on it. It can be inferred that he should be a professional.
Ghostly.
Gotta get it!
Gui Chai rode his horse and quickly passed Chen Jianchen and the other two, and ran in from the side gate of Jiangzhou without stopping.
Yin horse!
Only then did Chen Jianchen guess the identity of the horse, which should be a Yin horse.
As the name suggests, the Yin Horse is of course a horse that runs and gallops in the underworld, but I don't know how it was condensed.
"Come on, let's go to the city."
The scenery in the city changed. Compared with the real Jiangzhou, the place inside was larger, but the buildings were very sparse and empty. There were only two streets, one vertical and one horizontal, forming a big cross shape.
A huge temple stands in the center of the cross. The main hall is six stories high and is magnificently built with cornices and a bronze bell hanging under each corner.
It's the City God's Temple.
Ring ring ring!
Suddenly, all the bells on the City God's Temple began to ring without any wind, making a sharp and shrill sound, which sounded like an alarm.
The bells rang loudly, and the humanoid ghosts nearby suddenly became active. They were all looking around, as if they were looking for something.
It didn't take long for pairs of dull eyes to focus on one place - where Chen Jianchen and Xi Fangping were.
Found...
Chen Jianchen frowned, and his right hand carefully grasped the hilt of Haoran Yangwu Sword.
Boom boom boom!
There were huge and orderly footsteps, and soon, a team of ten ghost agents ran over in a mighty manner. They were all humanoid, wearing black soft armor and felt hats. Their equipment was very clear and neat. Regardless of their spirit,
His appearance and aura were both much worse than those of the ghosts on Beacon Mountain.
If Hou Qing's gangsters are a rabble, then these are the real regular troops.
The ghosts surrounded Chen Jianchen and Xi Fangping. One of the leaders shouted: "Why did you two mortals break into the underworld? You don't know how to advance or retreat!"
After the first experience, Xi Fangping showed great improvement in the second time. He said calmly and loudly: "Dear ghost brothers, I am Xi Fangping, a scholar from Dong'an Township, and I have made a special trip to see the City God to file a complaint and redress his grievances!"
"Complain?"
The leader, Guan Cha, snorted coldly: "You're such an unruly scholar. If you want to file a complaint, where should you go to the local government? Our City God is actually so easy to see."
Xi Fangping said proudly: "Just because the person I want to sue is the mountain god of Bijia Mountain, how can the local landowner be the master?"
Hearing this, the leader of the ghosts was startled. He looked at Xi Fangping and his face turned cold: "You are so brave. Can you sue the mountain god of Bijia Mountain? You must not engage in vindictive arguments and leave and go home quickly, otherwise
The disaster is not far away."
The threat was clearly evident in his tone.
Chen Jianchen laughed: "It's ridiculous! The mountain god is at fault and guilty, why can't he sue? Could it be that the city god is just a decoration and cannot listen to what others say."
As soon as these words came out, all the ghosts jumped into action and glared at Chen Jianchen, fearing that they would swarm up to attack him in the next moment.
Chen Jianchen responded calmly and said loudly: "What? Isn't what I said the truth? Or, you wait for the officials to protect each other, ignore the laws of the underworld, and trample on them at will? The so-called 'I am selfless' is actually full of selfishness!"
Seeing that he spoke sharply and plausibly, the ghost leader asked: "Who are you?"
"Jiangzhou Chen Jianchen!"
As soon as this name came out, all the gangsters changed their expressions and said without any concealment, "So you are Chen Jianchen".
Chen Jianchen was not impressed by their reaction. He seemed to have expected it. He continued: "You should go and report it to the City God as soon as possible. If it is not accepted, we will rush to the City of Fushun and go directly to the judge to complain and interrogate."
Does he even know that he died in vain?
The ghost leader frowned, knowing that he was no longer easy to fool, and said: "Huh, even if the City God is sued, according to the laws of the underworld, the litigant needs to undergo three major punishments before he can be promoted to court. I'm afraid it will be more difficult at that time.
You can't support your body. It's better to go back early and avoid suffering."
"Um?"
Chen Jianchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this because you are waiting to correct the law and abusing the death penalty?"
The leader of the ghost missions, Shi Shiran, took out a book, which was the original law of the underworld. He opened it and handed it over: "Here is the law. You can distinguish the true from the false."
The code book of the underworld is one foot square. It is not written with pen and ink on ordinary paper. It is page by page. It is as smooth as water. It is filled with many small characters in bright red color. It seems to have been carved on it with a knife. It is neat and powerful.
There is no way to alter or forge it. Turning over the relevant page, sure enough, it clearly states that if a mortal person violates the rules and procedures and files a complaint, and goes outside of the rules, he will be subjected to thirty lashes, ten breaths of fire, and hanging.
Takagi's three punishments of twenty breaths.
The so-called handling of matters according to rules and procedures means that you must first go through the Earth God, then the River God or the Mountain God, and finally submit the case file to the City God Temple.
It was just like this, one level at a time, and by the end, the cucumber dishes were cold. Moreover, with Hou Qing blocking the way, no matter how many petitions were submitted from below, they would not be passed on to the superior City God.
One more official and one more department means there is an extra mountain in the middle.
This has always been the truth.
The leader of the official mission said proudly: "How? In my opinion, it's better for you to go back, why bother coming?"
Chen Jianchen looked at Xi Fangping.
Xi Fangping looked resolute and said loudly: "If you are punished, you will be punished. It concerns my father's grievances. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the Lord of Hell, I will still file a lawsuit!"
"Good man!"
Chen Jianchen clapped his hands and praised, "This is the true nature of a scholar. He is strong-willed, not afraid of power, not afraid of suffering, and not greedy for wealth."
The leader of the ghosts snorted coldly: "Well, come with me to be tortured. After being tortured, you can see the City God and submit the lawsuit!"
They came to a small house to the left of the City God's Temple. When they walked in, they saw that it was dark and gloomy and filled with various instruments of torture. Xi Fangping was the plaintiff, and it was he who was going to be tortured.
The first level of punishment is thirty lashes.
Xi Fangping was lying on the ground, and a ghost officer held a whip in his hand. He raised and lowered it, crackling and lashing him mercilessly.
——Hitting the soul is like beating the flesh and body, and the pain is extremely painful. Xi Fangping gritted his teeth and suffered many whiplashes.
After the beating, the ghost leader shouted: "Do you still want to complain?"
Xi Fangping shouted: "I must tell you!"
"Okay, let's get on the fire bed again!"
The fire bed torture used an iron bed, and there was a charcoal fire under the bed. The flames hunted and the heat surged, burning the iron bed red, which was horrifying.
Xi Fangping took a breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a step to lie down on it. Another ghost held his arms down and rolled him repeatedly on the red iron bed.
The pain from the iron branding was unbearable, and Xi Fangping's bones and flesh were burnt black. He couldn't bear it anymore and screamed so loudly that it was unbearable to hear him again.
When Chen Jianchen heard this, he was very moved.
After ten breaths passed, Gui Cha Lashi Fang Ping stood up. He was in a sluggish state and seemed to be unable to stand firmly.
The ghost leader shouted again: "Do you still want to complain?"
Xi Fangping's reply was weak, but still firm as a mountain and unshakable: "Sue!"
"Hmph, hang yourself on the tree again!"
The so-called hanging from a high tree does not just mean hanging a person, but pulling the person's limbs apart and hanging them with ropes. There are ghosts below who pick up a saw and cut off the legs. The pain involved is simply beyond what humans can bear.
After Xi Fangping was hung up, the ghosts immediately started to cut off his legs, one on each side!
"ah……"
Xi Fangping was in so much pain that he couldn't help but cry out for death.
Chen Jianchen listened, clenching his fists, and an inexplicable anger arose, and he was about to violently kill ghosts. However, a trace of reason in his heart told him not to act recklessly. After all, what he was facing now was the City God, which was not ordinary.
If the Earth God causes trouble in Jiangzhou Prefecture, there will be no room for recovery and the consequences will be out of control.
Next, the ghost leader shouted again: "Do you still want to complain?"
Xi Fangping's eyes were red, and he had fallen into a hysterical state under the torment of all kinds of pain. He shouted hoarsely: "The grievances have not been redressed, and the injustice has not been done. I must report it!"
At this moment, even the ghost messengers couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard this. They had seen many people, but they had never seen such a strong person.
In Chen Jianchen's opinion, the time of fifteen breaths was unprecedentedly long at this time. When the time was up, the ghost officer put Xi Fangping down. He was already covered in blood and was dying.
The rules of the underworld are extremely cruel and they don’t treat people as human beings!
The leader of the ghost mission glanced at Xi Fangping and said calmly: "The punishment has been received, the city god can go to court to hear the case!" (To be continued)
