Chapter 175 Five Great Emperors
Chapter 175 Five Great Emperors
As soon as Zhong Kui arrived at Ji Chu's house, he opened the snack cabinet as if he was familiar with it, took out a can of drink and gulped it down.
After drinking it, he even let out a long burp.
"Damn it, this narrow space is really not a place for people to go!"
Qiu Feng adjusted the beard on Zhong Kui's face distressedly and asked, "What happened in the narrow space?"
Ji Chu also urged: "Yeah, what happened to the narrow space?"
Zhong Kui shook his head: "I don't know the specific reason. The protective shield I set up doesn't allow me to reach the depths. But you know, there is no time flow in the narrow space. As long as the evil spirits enter, they are generally in a state of wandering without consciousness. Only a few can regain their consciousness and have the ability to escape!"
"From ancient times to the present, over the past tens of millions of years, the number of individuals who have escaped from the narrow space has not exceeded 10!"
"But guess what I saw after I entered the narrow space this time?"
At the critical moment, this guy was still keeping it a secret. Qiu Feng couldn't help but hit him on the back: "Speak up!"
Zhong Kui was slapped in the face and grimaced in pain. Ji Chu, who was being fed with the flirting by the two, couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "You deserve it."
"Wife, be gentle!"
"Tell me what you saw in the narrow space. If you keep me in suspense, I don't mind going there myself."
Zhong Kui hurriedly stopped him. It didn’t matter which ghost messenger in the underworld died. This was a fight of life and death. If one of them died at this point, there would be chaos in the world.
Besides, this is his wife, and nothing can happen to her.
"I said it's not enough. After all these years, your temper hasn't changed at all!"
"It's all your fault. You keep dithering and never get to the point!"
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!” Zhong Kui drank the drink in the can in one gulp, then threw it into the trash can with a thud. “As soon as I entered the narrow room, I saw the dead souls on the outermost layer. Their expressions were not right!”
"They seem confused and struggling. They don't look like unconscious wandering souls at all!"
"And the further you go down the narrow room, the more intense the emotions of the dead souls become. Just now during Xiaochu's live broadcast, someone said that her parents loved to quarrel when they were alive, right? I saw that couple!"
"Not only are they conscious, they seem to be immersed in the fantasy created by their substitute. The two of them are holding the imaginary divorce certificate in their hands and arguing non-stop!"
"If this kind of mood swings continue, sooner or later they will find out that they are not in the real world!"
Ji Chu felt uneasy: "Is there something in the lower level of the narrow room that is affecting the dead souls in the narrow room?"
Zhong Kui stroked his beard and said, "I have the same feeling, because the defense I deployed was constantly weakened by an invisible force on the way to the lower level of the narrow space. Moreover, along the way, I could clearly feel that the closer the dead souls were to the narrow space, the more violent they became!"
"Besides that, I also noticed something strange!"
"What's wrong?" Qiu Feng asked.
Zhong Kui didn't keep the secret this time. He said seriously, "I was in the narrow room and didn't see a single dead ghost of the chicken in the basin!"
"Impossible!" Ji Chu shouted subconsciously: "So many people died in that long-lasting war. They committed many evil deeds and should have been sentenced to death, but most of them chose to escape to the narrow space to avoid being reduced to ashes. How is it possible that there is not a single one in the narrow space!"
Zhong Kui shrugged his shoulders and said, "But the fact is, I didn't see any of them. The clothes they were wearing were very eye-catching. I'm not blind, so there's no need to lie to you!"
Ji Chu put his hands on his hips and walked back and forth in the living room.
"There must be a reason. The evilness of those things is engraved in their genes. Even if they turn into ghosts, it won't change. I think the abnormality in the narrow room must be related to them!"
Qiu Feng shook his head: "This matter is of great importance, I think we should report it to the higher-ups first!"
Zhong Kui stopped Qiu Feng and said, "Don't do that for now. Those old guys are very conservative. If we report this to the higher-ups, we don't know if they will send someone to investigate. We will definitely be criticized for going to the narrow room. When that happens, it will be difficult for us to go to the narrow room again!"
Ji Chu nodded: "Yes, what Lao Zhong said makes sense. This matter cannot be reported for the time being."
Qiu Feng was a little anxious: "Then what should we do?"
Zhong Kui thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Chu, can you lend me your Taishan power?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Go to the narrow space again and see what's going on at the bottom!"
Without even thinking, Ji Chu handed a piece of white jade with a chilling aura to Zhong Kui: "This is the leftover material from when the Lord of Mount Tai made the pen body for me. It has the same power to ward off evil as my original body. Feel free to use it!"
Zhong Kui thanked him, took it, and then left with Qiu Feng.
On the way, Qiu Feng looked at the jade in Zhong Kui's hand and asked curiously, "When Xiaochu first arrived in the underworld, I was in seclusion. Who is she? Why is she the only pen left in the underworld? And why did you throw her into the Wangchuan River in the first place?"
Zhong Kui smiled and tried to cover up the truth: "The underworld has upgraded its system. Now everyone uses computers. Who still uses pens?"
"If we don't find a reason to make her redundant, she will definitely cause chaos in the underworld. Don't forget that she is a Buddhist!"
Qiu Feng had a question mark on his forehead: "What, how come I didn't know that Xiaochu believed in Buddhism?"
Zhong Kui held his forehead with his hand and said: "It's the Fighting Buddha, the monkey who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and drew all over your body!"
Speaking of this, Qiu Feng couldn't help but shudder, and then she suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Why do I feel like you're trying to change the subject? Who is Xiaochu? Why did you bring up the Lord of Mount Tai? That's the Emperor of Dongyue. How can a small pen be related to the Emperor of Dongyue?"
Seeing that he couldn't get around it, Zhong Kui had to speak up: "Xiao Chu is the Judge's Pen, yes, but she is not an ordinary Judge's Pen!"
"The body of her pen is made of Yin Baiyu from the deepest part of Mount Tai. Not only does it possess the powerful power of Mount Tai to ward off evil spirits, but its Yin Qi is also enough to turn ordinary ghosts into ashes!"
"In addition to the pen body, the tip of her pen was made by Fengdu Emperor using the hair from the foreheads of the most yang animals in the world!"
"One is yin and the other is yang. The two cannot be integrated. However, in order to create her, the two emperors injected their own Dharma images into her to make her yin and yang harmonious!"
After Zhong Kui finished speaking, Qiu Feng was stunned!
"Are you crazy? The pen created by two great emperors is only used to judge your judges?"
"Isn't this just using a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
Zhong Kui shook his head: "The pen made by the two emperors together will definitely not be given to us, but who can blame him for falling asleep?"
Qiu Feng took a breath and said, "Who is that?"
Zhong Kui put his finger between his lips: "Just know it, don't say it!"
