You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

After saying that, Xia Zhiming casually took out a rope, put it around the neck of the City God of Jinping Prefecture, then casually drew a crack in it and pulled the City God directly to the outside of the Ghost Gate.

Ignoring the ghosts and soul-binding messengers all over the ground, Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin pulled Chen Guangshan.

Pass through the gates of hell and walk through the road to the underworld.

Cross the Wangxiang Terrace and fly over the Wangchuan River.

Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin walked straight ahead as if they were in an empty space. Occasionally, some ignorant ghosts wanted to stop them and ask them questions, but they were all stopped by their companions.

There is no other reason. Four hundred years ago, a monkey came to the underworld. Since then, the ghosts and devils have learned to read people's expressions and act accordingly. Living people who walk into the underworld so brazenly are either seeking death or are people they can't afford to offend. Anyone who tries to stop them is simply stupid.

However, what they did made Xia Zhiming feel a little embarrassed. When they arrived outside the underworld, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin looked up and saw -

The towering pavilions reach the sky, and the corridors are connected to the courtyard.

The fragrant clouds from the beast tripods cover the imperial robes, and the crimson gauze lamps illuminate the palace fans.

Receive the dead and send ghosts with gold medals, lead the souls and summon the spirits with white silk.

It is called the main gate of the underworld, and below it is the Hall of Yama and Senluo.

After looking around, he found a ghost guarding the gate and said with a smile: "I am the guardian spirit officer of Lihentian. Today I come to the King of Hell to file a complaint. Please help me ask which King of Hell is willing to open a court."

At the door, the ghost soldier was stunned when he heard this. Did the spirit official from heaven come to the underworld to complain? Are you sick or am I?

However, although the ghost soldier looked bitter, he didn't dare to say much. He hurried into the Senluo Palace and said to the King of Hell in the palace in a panic: "Lord Hell! It's bad! It's bad! Someone is outside looking for trouble!"

In the hall, King Yama heard this and pointed at the ghost soldier in shock, saying, "Could it be that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has come again? Stop him first. I will go and call the other Yama Lords to meet him together."

After saying this, King Yama pulled up his trouser legs, stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the ghost soldier quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "Don't worry, Lord Yama. This time it's not the Monkey King who's coming."

King Yama was puzzled: "Who is causing trouble in my Netherworld Palace?"

The ghost soldier shuddered and said, "That person said he was a spiritual official..."

King Yama roared and cursed, "Don't you dare talk nonsense! The spirit officials are all in heaven, how could they possibly come to my underworld!"

The ghost soldier said timidly: "Lord Yama... that spirit official said... that he came to file a complaint."

King Yama was stunned. He pointed at himself and said in disbelief, "The Spiritual Officer is complaining to me? Why doesn't he go to the Jade Emperor?"

"But...that's what the spiritual officer outside said."

"What does the spiritual officer look like? And how is he dressed?"

"That spiritual official had white hair and red eyes. On his shoulders sat a tiny figure only a foot tall, and he was leading a ghost who looked like the City God."

At this point, the ghost soldier suddenly realized: "Oh right, he said he was the guardian spirit officer of Lihentian..."

Upon hearing this, King Yama frowned. After a moment of recollection, he seemed to remember something and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that the good immortal would come to visit. Please come and invite him in!"

The ghost soldier was about to retreat when he saw Yama King walk out of the Justice Table and wave his hand, saying, "You retreat, I will personally go to meet you!"

After saying that, King Yama ignored the confused ghost soldiers and quickly walked out of the Senluo Palace.

After a while, King Yama welcomed Xia Zhiming and Qingxin into the hall and poured him more tea. Then he smiled and said, "Four hundred years ago, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons sent us a golden elixir. The other Hades and I have never had the chance to meet our immortal friend, and we have always regretted it. I never expected that our immortal friend's arrival today would cause such a joke."

Xia Zhiming was puzzled, but after asking the reason, he smiled and said, "That ghost soldier is right. I am indeed here to file a complaint."

King Yama suddenly laughed and said, "Well, I wonder what you want me to do. Just tell me, and I will do it for you."

It's not his fault for bragging, it's just that Xia Zhiming and Qingxin have always been busy with little things and give a lot.

Seeing King Yama's boast, Xia Zhiming picked up the teacup and took a sip, then he began to talk about the events in Mintian County bit by bit.

When he told King Yama about the situation in Qingmin County, King Yama frowned and said, "My friend, you don't know that although the City God is a ghost, he is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld. If you want to sue him, you must report it to the Taishan Palace before he can be executed."

In the hall, Chen Guangshan saw Xia Zhiming having a very pleasant conversation with the King of Hell. He had originally looked ashen, but when he heard these words, he was immediately delighted. He said that the King of Hell would never allow this demon to do whatever he wanted.

At this time, Xia Zhiming smiled and said, "Underworld Lord, you're worrying too much. I won't make things difficult for you. After I go to Lingshan for the Ullambana Festival, I'll go and file a complaint with the Queen Mother of the Underworld. Every single City God in Qingshan County will be punished. But I'm not suing him right now."

Chen Guangshan immediately sneered. He really didn't believe that Hou Tu Niangniang would care about such a small matter. If Taishan Prefecture was asked to investigate, it would not be difficult for him to take care of it.

King Yama nodded. He believed in Xia Zhiming's ability. After all, he gave him ten Nine-Turn Golden Pills at a time. You had to believe it.

Thinking of this, King Yama smiled and asked, "If that's the case, then I wonder who you are accusing, my friend?"

"I sue the King of India for not investigating the case."

"I wonder what my fellow immortals think?"

"I would like the Lord of Hell to send his underworld messengers to bring the King of Tianzhu to my court to testify. I wonder if the Lord of Hell can intervene in this matter?"

"Hahahaha!" King Yama laughed a few times, then said solemnly -

"I don't care about any of the living things!"

"I tell it to die at three o'clock in the morning, and it won't live to see tomorrow!"

"Come here! Arrest the King of India!"

(Seeking monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~)

Chapter 137 Three years?

As King Yama finished speaking, the Black and White Impermanence quickly appeared outside the hall and left after receiving the order.

At this time, the King of Hell couldn't just watch, so he ordered the judge to bring out the Book of Life and Death and invited Xia Zhiming and Qingxin to check it together, only to see -

The King of Guangrui in Xiniu Hezhou and Tianzhu Kingdom was destined to reign during the twenty-fifth year of Guangrui and died at the age of fifty-two.

Xia Zhiming looked at the records and couldn't help but wonder, "With the Book of Life and Death recorded like this, how can you, the King of Hell, tell the exact year and month in the mortal world?"

King Yama closed the Book of Life and Death, shook his head and smiled, saying, "Although it is inconvenient, I have read it day and night and have memorized it."

"How many years has Lord Ming been guarding the Netherworld Palace?"

"It's been so long, I can't remember."

"Lord of the Underworld is righteous."

"My friend, you are too kind." King Yama waved his hand and said proudly, "Since I am called a king and an ancestor, how can I claim to be righteous? This is just my duty."

At this point, Yama King sighed and said, "I wonder if someone will come along one day who's willing to be Yama King, so I can have some peace and quiet."

Xia Zhiming looked at the crescent moon on King Yama's forehead, thought for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Excuse my rudeness, but what is the Lord of Hell's real name?"

King Yama was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My real name is Bao Zheng!"

Xia Zhiming was speechless. It turned out that you are really Bao Zheng. Why did he suddenly want to beat the monkey?

At this time, the Black and White Impermanence came out of the underworld and brought in an old emperor wearing a dragon robe and a crown.

As soon as they met, although King Guangrui was a little nervous, he did not lose his composure. He just bowed and said hello.

King Yama and Xia Zhiming naturally bowed in greeting. Seeing that the old King Guangrui's legs and feet were weak, King Yama called the little ghost to bring him a stool to sit on and added more tea.

After completing the formalities, King Yama looked at the still restless King Guangrui and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, don't panic. I have summoned you here to ask you something."

Prince Guangrui was not listening to any of this at this moment. He quickly swallowed the tea in his throat, then put down the teacup with trembling hands and asked, "But my life span has come to an end?"

"How many years has your Majesty been on the throne?"

"I have been on the throne for seventeen years now."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, you still have eight years to live."

Prince Guangrui heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Just as he was about to take a sip of water, King Yama gestured to Xia Zhiming standing beside him and introduced him, "This person is a true immortal from heaven, known as the guardian spiritual officer of Lihentian. Because he has accused your majesty, I have sent the Black and White Impermanence to capture your soul."

Upon hearing this, Prince Guangrui's heart leaped into his throat. He quickly asked, "I wonder what crime the spirit officer is accusing me of?"

"I accuse Your Majesty of the crime of not investigating."

"Why don't you investigate?"

King Yama shook his head, stood up and sat at the justice table. He then looked at Xia Zhiming and said, "Since you want to confront him, please tell him the whole story so that I can judge him fairly."

Xia Zhiming nodded and continued, "Yesterday, I passed through Qingshan Commandery, Jinping Prefecture, and Mintian County, and saw that the people were poorly clothed and hungry."

"Seeing this, I summoned the City God to inquire about the cause, and learned that it was caused by three rhinoceros demons causing trouble four hundred years ago."

At this point, Xia Zhiming talked about the agreement that the three rhinos made with the officials of Jinping Prefecture under the name of Buddha.

"The three rhinoceroses are incredibly audacious. I will find a good opportunity to punish them later."

Xia Zhiming then said, "However, this agreement benefits the entire Qingshan County, yet the cost of the 1,500 kilograms of sesame oil is borne by Mintian County alone, without any compensation. I would like to ask, Your Majesty, in your seventeen years on the throne, if you are aware of this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangrui hastened to distance himself from the matter: "Although I am not considered a virtuous person, I admit that I have never done such a ridiculous thing, nor did I know anything about it."

Xia Zhiming pointed at the City God below the stage and said, "The officials and the aristocratic families of Qingshan County have concealed this absurd incident, which is known to everyone, for four generations."

At this point, Xia Zhiming looked at Prince Guangrui and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, may I ask if my complaint for this crime of not investigating is justified?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Guangrui's face flushed red. He looked at Chen Guangshan, the only one kneeling in the hall, and asked, "Who is this person?"

Xia Zhiming smiled and said, "This is Chen Guangshan, the City God of Jinping Prefecture. He claims to be a royal relative of Your Majesty and has a direct bloodline in Jinping Prefecture."

Prince Guangrui frowned and said, "Our dynasty has granted many princes throughout history. I need to inquire with the Imperial Clan Bureau about this matter."

Xia Zhiming took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile, "I'm good at fortune-telling. If I'm not mistaken, two hundred years ago, he was the leader of the Qingshan County officials, and he was the one who took the lead in concealing the events in Mintian County."

In the hall, Chen Guangshan, who had been quiet at first, was shocked when he heard this: "How did you know!!!"

Xia Zhiming jokingly said, "When you count the nine clans of your descendants, you accidentally count too many."

At this moment, upon hearing this, Prince Guangrui picked up his teacup and smashed it down on Chen Guangshan's face, angrily cursing, "How dare you!!!"

In the hall, Chen Guangshan took the blow but had no reaction at all, kneeling on the ground like a dead man.

He originally thought that he could wait until Taishan Mansion to investigate the case, but he didn't expect that the secret he had concealed before was just a side job in Xia Zhiming's eyes.

The truth has been laid out on the table. Now, all he needs is an imperial decree from King Guangrui, and his City God Temple will be gone. He will either become a lonely ghost or suffer in the underworld.

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming didn't care at all. He originally wanted to bring Chen Guangshan over as a witness, but he didn't expect King Guangrui to be so simple and honest and didn't make any excuses throughout the whole process.

Snapped! ! !

"quiet!"

At this point, King Yama, realizing that his words were almost complete, slammed the gavel and said to King Guangrui, "The matter has been resolved. Does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"

Prince Guangrui quickly bowed and said, "May I ask Lord Ming, if I admit my guilt for not investigating, what will be the punishment?"

"According to the laws of the underworld, I will deduct your life span, reduce your hidden virtues, and punish you by sending you to the Grinding Cliff Hell after death to suffer the pain of being crushed by huge rocks."

Upon hearing this, King Guangrui was shocked. After a moment's thought, he asked, "This matter was left behind by our previous king. I shouldn't have to bear this sin. If I return to the world and remedy it, will you forgive me?"

King Yama turned around, looked at Xia Zhiming, and asked with a smile, "I wonder what my fellow immortal thinks of this matter?"

Xia Zhiming nodded and smiled, "If he's really punished, I think he'll owe the Lord of Hell several decades of his life. It would be better to let him go and atone for his sins, while also saving the people. I think that's better than punishing him alone."

King Yama heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. After all, if the punishment was to be carried out, all the former kings of India would have to be brought out and punished. Some of them might have already been reincarnated, and the workload would have to be increased again by then.

Now that Xia Zhiming was able to stop while he was ahead, he was naturally happy.

Thinking of this, King Yama slammed the gavel beside him and said solemnly: "Since that is the case, I order King Guangrui to put an end to this matter within three years, eliminate future troubles, and use his merits to atone for his sins. Then I can withdraw from the court!"

Chapter 138 That’s all my money!!!

Nether Palace——

With the King of Hell's verdict, the court drama came to an end.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming waved the folding fan in his hand, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, a deep purple gap opened up in the hall and swallowed Chen Guangshan, who looked as dead as a ash, directly into it.

After doing this, Xia Zhiming walked to the Justice Table, bowed to King Yama and said with a smile: "I am very sorry for the trouble I have to make. The affairs of the underworld are numerous and complicated. I will not disturb the King of Hell anymore. We will meet again in the Heavenly Palace in the future."

On his shoulder, Xiao Qingxin swayed a bit with Xia Zhiming's movements, and could only pull his silver hair and nod to King Yama.

Across from him, King Yama heard this, thought for a moment, then bowed and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I'll forgive you for not seeing me off for long."

Xia Zhiming nodded, then walked up to King Guangrui with Qingxin and said with a smile, "It's difficult to leave the Netherworld. Are you willing to leave with me?"

Prince Guangrui had no objection. As a monarch, he had a noble status, but monarchs would also die, and he was afraid of it.

Xia Zhiming nodded with satisfaction, opened his folding fan to create a breeze, and left the Netherworld Palace with King Guangrui.

At this moment, King Yama took the Nine Transformations Golden Pill that had appeared on the table at some point and put it into his sleeve. He then solemnly called out to the outside of the hall, "Come here! Bring in the next sinful soul!"

Unlike other immortals and gods, the underworld is really busy. In the short time that Xia Zhiming has been here, he has seen countless wronged souls piled up outside the temple.

However, King Yama didn't mind being busy for a while longer. After all, it was just as he expected - although Xia Zhiming had a lot of things to do, he gave more!
