Chapter 201: The beginning of the season
Chapter 201: The beginning of the season
Ji Chu held his chin up and said, "You are right, but the problem now is that most of the heroes have been reincarnated into good families. The remaining ones, because of their great merits, have either been registered as ghosts and stayed in the underworld to become high-level ghost messengers, or have been registered as immortals and become protectors of a certain area. We can't expect them to go to the narrow space, right?"
Zhong Kui produced a tablet and searched for tens of thousands of martyrs' tombs of all sizes in China and displayed them in front of Ji Chu and Qiu Feng.
"Although most of the heroes have been reincarnated, there are still many left in the world. Now if we just ask them one by one, we should be able to persuade most of them."
Ji Chu asked again: "Where is the stone?"
Qiu Feng patted his chest and said, "You can leave this to me. I have a lot of people under my command. I can ask them to collect stones from the mountains and rivers while they are arresting souls."
Zhong Kui forced himself to stand up and said, "I will go find the other three judges and the Black and White Impermanence. As long as we explain clearly, they should be willing to help."
Ji Chu: "So I'm the only one who's idle. I don't plan to broadcast during the Chinese New Year. Is there any task you can assign to me?"
Zhong Kui: "Although you have retained most of your Taoist skills, you still have a mortal body holding you back. You can't go underground to any place in the country like we can."
"But it's not like there's nothing you can do. I just checked. There are three memorials in your city, and one seems to have yet to be discovered."
"What you need to do is to visit these memorials within these few days!"
Ji Chu nodded: "No problem, just send me the address!"
Zhong Kui took out his tablet and swiped the screen a few times, and Ji Chu received the address he sent.
The more Ji Chu looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Old clock!"
While issuing tasks to his subordinates on a tablet, Zhong Kui asked perfunctorily, "What's wrong? Any other questions?"
"How do you use this tablet so well?"
Zhong Kui raised his head suddenly, a layer of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead.
To be honest, no matter how many injuries he suffered in the narrow space, they were not as frightening as this question at the beginning of the season.
Ji Chu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Answer me!"
Zhong Kui and Qiu Feng stood upright like two primary school students who had done something wrong.
The air was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder. It was not until Qiu Feng nudged Zhong Kui with his elbow that the latter argued, "This... this is not... Boss Yan saw your live broadcast and lamented that modern technology is very advanced."
"In order to make the big guys more efficient, we introduced modern technology."
Ji Chu looked suspiciously at Qiu Feng who was curled up like a quail beside him and asked, "Really?"
Qiu Feng glanced left and right: "Really!"
Although Ji Chu thought it was ridiculous, he still reluctantly believed Zhong Kui's lies.
"If I knew you left me aside just to make way for a replacement, you'd be finished!"
Zhong Kui shrank his neck, nodded and said "yes" three times.
Ji Chu's identity is rather special. Although he only does record-keeping work in the underworld, he is not their subordinate in terms of position.
Although this girl is usually silent, she is made of stone just like the monkey Sun Wukong. Once she gets angry, she can turn the entire underworld upside down.
He still remembers a case 800 years ago.
At that time, there was a farmer's family with two sons. However, because the family was poor, they had no money to marry off both sons.
Later, the old couple thought of a solution. They let their eldest son get married, and then secretly let their second son consummate the marriage at night.
The days passed peacefully as the whole family deceived their daughter-in-law, but one day, the father of the two sons had evil intentions.
On the night when it was the second son's turn, it was the flood season. The old man sent his second son away under the pretext of going to grab some fish and went into his daughter-in-law's room.
But the two brothers are young and have similar bodies. It is normal that the daughter-in-law cannot tell them apart in the dark. But there is a big difference between an old man’s body and a young man’s!
He thought he could hide the truth, but as soon as he entered the house, his daughter-in-law smelled an unpleasant old smell.
Then she asked timidly, "Dad, why are you here?" When the old man saw that he was discovered, he pounced on his daughter-in-law and touched her all over.
The daughter-in-law refused and screamed for help. The old man was afraid that she would really call for help, so he suffocated her to death with a pillow made of wheat bran.
What’s even more disgusting is that even after his daughter-in-law died, the old man didn’t let her go.
When the two sons came back, they saw their wife half asleep on the bed in dishevelled clothes, with their crying mother beside her, cursing their father as a beast.
No matter how dumb the two of them were, they understood what was happening!
But things had come to this, they couldn't just kill their own father, so the family of four lied that their daughter-in-law had died of illness and held a hasty funeral for her.
However, on the seventh day after his daughter-in-law's death, the ghost was ordered to bring her back to see her relatives.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the window, I heard my mother-in-law crying and complaining that the family did not have enough money to marry a second daughter-in-law, and she also told me about the previous incident where the two brothers shared a wife.
After learning that she was raped by the father and his two sons, the daughter-in-law suddenly became full of murderous spirit, and even the ghost could not suppress her.
It was a time of chaos and all the ghost officials in the underworld were busy like dogs. There was no other choice but to send Ji Chu, a civilian, out to solve the problem.
When Ji Chu arrived, the family of four had all been killed by the daughter-in-law who had turned into a fierce ghost.
The underworld at that time completely followed the laws of heaven, that is, killing someone was a sin, and even if there was a reason, the person would still be punished for it.
The daughter-in-law killed four people and was sentenced to be reduced to ashes. However, after seeing her disastrous life, Ji Chu saved the daughter-in-law and sent the four people to the animal realm. They would not be able to be reincarnated as humans without going through a hundred reincarnations.
Then he sent the miserable woman, who should have been reduced to ashes, to reincarnation and let her be born into a wealthy and good family.
But because she disobeyed the will of heaven, she was struck by five heavenly thunders and turned back to her original form. She slept for a full 5 years before waking up.
At that time, the people in the underworld saw that Ji Chu was extraordinary.
For ordinary people, if they were struck by lightning, they would be considered lucky if they did not turn into ashes. However, she simply returned to her original form. After waking up, not only was nothing wrong with her, but she also kept all the cultivation she had accumulated over the past 100 years.
Later, Zhong Kui asked around and found out that Jichu was actually a magical weapon created by the two emperors together!
I just don’t know why, Ji Chu, who was born as a weapon, was left idle in the underworld and became just a small judge’s pen.
After parting with Zhong Kui and Qiu Feng, Ji Chu took his bag and went downstairs.
There are a lot of people visiting the graves on New Year’s Eve, and many flower shops have bought a lot of yellow and white chrysanthemums.
At the beginning of the season, I picked a store close to me and went in to buy a large handful.
Afterwards, she went to the three martyrs' cemeteries that Zhong Kui mentioned that had been renovated and opened to the public.
