underworld

Chapter 24

To the west of Youdu stands an arched stone gate about eight meters high, and two black-faced god tigers climb on the stone gate.Next to it are two listening beasts with their teeth and claws open, their eyes wide open, and their ears the size of a fan, as if there is nothing to hide from them.On this day, the four ghost guards straightened their backs, not daring to relax at all, and stared at their surroundings with radiance.

There was a rumbling door, and Luo Ye, dressed in black, came out.Next to him was a black-faced ghost officer. He rubbed his hands, trembled slightly, and said timidly, "Baye, what should we do with these two men?" He was not sure what to do as a prisoner of status and level. He wanted to see the face of this master, but when he looked left and right, his eyeballs almost popped out. This master seemed to have no expression at all!The heart of the boss, the needle in the sea, I can't guess it, and I heard that the two people in the prison don't seem to have caused substantial harm, so I can only ask boldly.

Luo Ye lowered his head and straightened his wrinkled sleeves, then looked back at the four huge words "Tongue Pulling Hell" written on the stone gate.After thinking for a while, he said coolly, "Closed for now!" As he spoke, he walked forward, and the green will-o'-the-wisp swayed beside him.

There was a circle of people standing in the room, and Mingzhu signaled Ji Bai to come forward.

Ji Bai passed through a wolf demon official, took out the illusion mirror from the wide blue sleeve, faced the sleeping judge, closed his eyes, and silently chanted a spell, the illusion mirror opened, and rotated counterclockwise for the first time , shrouded in white light, a bronze door appeared in front of him, before Ji Bai could react, a strong force sucked him in.

Boom—his head landed, and the sour feeling made him hold his head and scream.It took him a while to recover, and he stared at his surroundings carefully with a pair of peach blossom eyes. This place was somewhat familiar. Last time, he saw it in Po Meng's memory. This is the hometown of Po Meng and the judge——Tongyu Town At this moment, in the dead of night, he happened to land on the river bank where he first saw the two of them flying a kite.

However, the surface of the river at this time was somewhat different from what he saw then.The sparkling water surface at that time is now shining with a green light, and there are a few green ghost shadows floating on the water surface from time to time.Suddenly, a pair of dark blue eyes seemed to have seen him, and they floated over with a flick - "Oh, Qi Ye, why did you come here?" A smile that he thought was very charming, and a black and blue mouth grinned upwards.

"..." Ji Bai's face froze, sister, don't scare me, okay, no matter how hard you try with your green face and blue eyes, it's useless, it's really scary!

The water ghost still didn't realize it, and was still furiously winking, Ji Bai twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Xiao Bai, come here!" A familiar voice came, and Ji Bai suddenly turned his head, the man was stretching out his hand to him.Even though the ghost was dressed in black, how could he look so good-looking in front of this appalling ghost in front of the gloomy and green river? !Ji Bai turned around decisively and ran towards Luo Ye.

"Why did you come in too?" Ji Bai pulled Luo Ye and floated away.Leaving behind one after another exclaimed.

Luo Ye glanced at the caught sleeve, raised his eyebrows, and said flatly, "I was about to grab your hand when you disappeared."

"Oh, let's go see Judge Cui first?"

Luo Ye nodded.

So, under the star-filled sky, Ji Bai and his wife floated towards Cui's residence.

At this time, it was ugly, and everything was silent. Ji Bai and Luo Ye both landed outside Cui Jue's room and looked at each other. To their surprise, the light in Cui Jue's bedroom was still on. In front of the lamp, he was biting the pen holder, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he looked like he was studying poetry and books hard.

For a scumbag like Ji Bai, he said that the world of a top student is too difficult to understand.Looking at the layout of the room, there are two rows of bookshelves taller than a person on the right side, stars popped out of Ji Bai's eyes, and he immediately felt that Cui Jue was a tall and knowledgeable kid.As soon as I moved my eyes, there was a high cabinet made of sandalwood on the right, and a row of hollowed out mahogany antique shelves, on which some exquisite and valuable antique jade articles were neatly placed.His eyes became more eager, so in Ji Bai's mind, Judge Cui's image suddenly changed from a dull subordinate of the Lord of the Underworld to a learned local tyrant with the golden light of "Brin Brin".

While Ji Bai was observing the layout of the house, Luo Ye just glanced at him briefly, then moved his gaze to him.Looking at his wife's strange and eager eyes, Luo Ye raised his eyebrows and curled his mouth. He decided to drag Ji Xiaobai to his study and warehouse to take a look when he went back.He said that he was definitely not showing off, he just wanted Xiaobai to understand the overall situation of the family.Yes, it is like that.And he nodded approvingly.

At this time, a boy wrapped in a gray cloth came slowly from the long corridor with a lantern in his hand. Seeing that the master's room was still lit, he paused, scratched his head, and muttered in confusion. Goo: "What's the matter, young master? You haven't slept so late, it's really the first time a big girl gets on the sedan chair." Did you forget to turn off the lights?

He walked forward, looked at the shadow in the house, his eyes widened suddenly, he knocked on the door lightly, and said softly: "Master, it's late at night, let's study tomorrow!" The boy was very excited, and he Tomorrow, I must report this matter to my master. Who said my young master is ignorant, isn't it very hard work!They will surely be amazed.The boy Cui Sheng usually listened to the teacher's class with Cui Jue, and now he also learned some ink in his stomach.

Hearing Cui Sheng's knock on the door, Cui Jue who was inside the door was startled, and replied: "Understood, go down and rest!" Hastily closed the book, and on the thick writing, "The Mean" was written vertically Two words.Ji Bai also read this book in his previous life. At that time, his master highly praised it and regarded "The Doctrine of the Mean" as the avenue of life and the highest wisdom to solve all problems.Up to now, Ji Bai still remembers how many boards he took at the time, and finally recited a few sentences: "The destiny is the nature, the willfulness is the way, and the cultivation of the way is teaching...".

Just as Ji Bai was about to sigh a few words, his peach blossom eyes widened suddenly, and he saw Cui Jue standing up holding the "Doctrine of the Mean", and a flowery album fell from it to the ground with a crash.

The two white fruit bodies of a man and a woman are presented on the paper, with sharp lines and unattractive postures.Cui Jue looked outside the door in a panic, hissed, and picked up the book "Mr. Feng? Liuyan" on the ground and put it into his arms.

Ji Bai's head was full of black lines, he helped his chin that was almost falling off, and gave me back my admiration! ! !Looking at his wife's disappointed expression, Luo Ye raised the corners of his mouth proudly.The standard of this book is a bit low, but the posture is not bad.Staring at Ji Xiaobai, he touched the finger wrench thoughtfully.

The next day, Cui Jue yawned and walked out of the room, with dark blue eye circles drooping under his eyes, he glanced listlessly at the person who came, who also had serious dark eye circles but his face was flushed and greeted him.

Cui Sheng was very excited, just now, he reported to Master Cui that when the young master leaned on the lamp last night to read to the ugly, he seemed to have grown up and knew how to work hard.The master was also excited, shook his beard, and waved his big hand to reward him with a silver ingot, which was ten taels, which was equivalent to his monthly money.He turned around and reported to his wife. The woman was also excited. She pointed at a pretty maid next to her with her jade hand and said, "Cui Sheng, follow the young master well. Madam, I will not treat you badly!" Are you not excited?

"Young master, you are awake. Madam told you to go to the back hall." Cui Sheng's eyes lit up, looking at his young master eagerly. The fate of this ancestor is directly related to his future, so he decided to treat Cui Jue better. "Master, are you tired? Shall I give you a shoulder squeeze first?"

Cui Jue looked at someone who was too active today, and felt hairy in his heart.Just yesterday, he and a few brothers were drinking in Zuixianju.When he was drunk, Li Yucai said drunkenly: "Recently, I heard that many high-ranking officials are playing a new kind of thing." Li Yucai paused, seeing their curious faces, he let it go.At that time, he picked up his wine glass and said with a disdainful smile, "Brother Li, just keep it to yourself, there is something else we don't know about."

Li Yucai couldn't stand the excitement, so he said immediately, "Don't be unconvinced, I heard that the stuff is very good, even more delicious than women." He squeezed his triangular eyes ambiguously, and lowered his voice.He was shocked all of a sudden, it was the joy of Longyang.Li Yucai also said that several new stores have opened in the west of the city recently, and I heard that the business is extremely hot. Would Cui Xiandi come with me to have a look?

Cui Jue felt cold, yawned, and backed away again and again: "Not tired, not tired."

Cui Sheng nodded blankly, the young master is so kind, he was so tired that he didn't want to bother himself, he was really moved, star-eyed: "Young master, you are so handsome today!!!"

Cui Jue's hair stood on end, your grandma wouldn't like me, young master!Mother, I want to change to a servant.With his mouth flattened, he hurried to the old lady's back hall.

In a blink of an eye, the young master disappeared in front of him in a hurry, Cui Sheng was startled, "Master, wait for me!"

"Son, pay respects to mother!" Cui Jue bowed firmly to his old mother, got up and asked, "What does mother want from me?" Their family doesn't pay much attention to these false names, but every time they do, Cui Jue will do well, there is no other reason, the main reason is that Cui Jue has a rather rough temper, and has an inexplicable persistence in these small things.

"Hurry up, come here, mother, take a look!" Cui Jue's mother took good care of her, she was a beautiful woman in her thirties, Cui's mother looked at the circles under her son's eyes, stroked them, and felt sore , commanded: "Xiaocui, go and urge, why haven't you served it after cooking for a long time?"

Cui Jue escaped from his mother's palm awkwardly, what's the matter, one or two are looking at him like this today?When had his old lady been so gentle?Will there be another move?For example, recently, my mother is often looking for a wife for herself, so she wants to go on a blind date by herself.After thinking about it, he quickly shook his head, "Mom, I have something to do today? I'm leaving first!" As he said that, he was about to run away.

"Stop!" Cui said loudly, full of air, "Get back!" Well, this is his mother, the one just now was a hallucination.

Cui suddenly became gentle again, "Son, my servant said that you studied hard last night, so today mother made you your favorite ginseng and astragalus black-bone chicken soup, drink it obediently!"

Cui Jue said that he absolutely didn't like that pitchy chicken soup with a strong smell of black medicine, but he must listen to what his wife said, otherwise the consequences would be serious, unless you have a hard ass and a thick skin.Cui Jue thinks that his skin is too thick, but his butt is too thin.So he sat there with a sleepy expression, waiting to drink his favorite black chicken soup under his mother's loving eyes.

Finally, he closed his eyes and poured down the incomparably nourishing chicken soup, and he ran wildly.

When we came to the Ruyi teahouse we agreed upon, there was laughter from upstairs, Li Yucai's rough voice was easy to recognize, Cui Jue shook his head in amused manner, and walked up with Cui Sheng.

"Hey, Brother Cui Xian is here." Li Yucai said loudly, his face full of air, "Come on, come on, I'll be waiting for you."

Cui Jue looked at Cheng Yifu and Zhang Kuan sitting next to him. Without his righteous brother Jian Heng, he was slightly disappointed and walked forward.Recently, Jian Heng seems to be getting very close to that girl Meng Ziran. Although it was because of his strong support and help that caused this situation at the beginning, but seeing that there is one less person now, it is inevitable that he is still a little disappointed in his heart. After all, he has always been Both are Meng Buli Jiao, Jiao Buli Meng.

"What did Brother Cui Xian do last night? The bruises are almost falling to his lips now." As he spoke, there was an ambiguous expression on his face that I understood, "Don't work too hard!" This effort is not that effort.

"Go, I went to read a book yesterday." Cui Jue's face was extremely thick, without changing his face.

"Haha, isn't it that kind of book?" Sure enough, he knew him very well.

Cui Jue raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea leisurely, moistened his throat, and spit out two words, "The Doctrine of the Mean".

"Okay, stop bragging, we don't know you yet?" Cheng Yifu glanced at Cui Jue, put his head up, and lowered his voice, "Yesterday, after you left, we went to that place to see you .”

Cui Jue shivered with aversion to the cold, his eyes were strange, "No way, you really want to taste it..."

"Hey, don't be like this!" Zhang Kuan came over, "It's not as dirty as you think, so I went to drink. But don't say it, it's really special."

Cui Jue shrank back.

"Brother Cui Xian, are you scared?" Li Yucai sneered, "I really have that plan. How about it? Which of you dares to go together?"

"I..." Cui Jue just wanted to say, I won't go, but he heard Cheng Yifu and Zhang Kuan say in unison. "I go."

Then he swallowed silently, and swallowed those two words back together with his saliva.

"His grandma, what's there to be afraid of." Cheng Yifu said with a bold temper.Then the three of them stared at Cui Jue expectantly, and Cui Jue nodded helplessly.Mother, is he going to play with men now?His mother found out that it is indispensable for this ass to bloom, so he swallowed again, forget it, let's go and have a look first.
