Under the seemingly cold and ruthless iron rules, there is an unknown warmth hidden.
This reminded Li Kui of the couplet at the door of the Department of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil——
Rewarding good officials without selfish motives and bribing them privately
Punishing evildoers must be fair and just
After a while, his thoughts stopped abruptly.
Now that the work trip is over, Li Kui plans to go to the Office of Punishment Secretary Meng Ci to find her, but before that, he needs to buy something before going there.
He has been to Feng dozens to hundreds of times, and he is already familiar with this big city. He knows that there is an old man selling candy here, and he is very skilled at it.
Li Kui found a stall and bought a dozen candy figures, then turned around and went into a snack shop, filling a bag full of them.
Immediately, he went straight to the Department of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil.
"Oh, I'm really one of my own."
The voice of extreme helplessness reached my ears from afar.
As soon as Li Kui stepped into the gate, he immediately saw a familiar huge figure in the courtyard. He looked helpless and funny, which made people laugh. He was surrounded by many deep will-o'-the-wisps.
"You said you were here to report, but I've never seen you."
"That is to say, you must at least provide proof."
"How else can we trust you?"
"Yes, yes!"
The chirping childish voice was like a machine gun constantly bombarding my ears.
I saw that Tu Bo's majestic tiger face was full of helplessness. He really couldn't explain it with his words, and it wouldn't work with force. There was no trick at all.
"Tubo!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
The sound of nature.
Tu Bo immediately turned around, with a different kind of brilliance in his eyes. He looked at Li Kui as if he were a savior, and his voice couldn't help but contain a hint of sob: "Li Kui, save me!"
Seeing this scene, Li Kui laughed a little gloatingly, hurriedly walked over, picked up the plastic bag in his hand, and shouted: "Children, children, look what I brought."
"Li Kui is here!"
"Brother Kui~he brought delicious food again."
"marvelous."
In an instant, the spirit babies who surrounded Tu Bo immediately flew to Li Kui's side.
"Take your time, don't rush."
Li Kui has now developed a habit of bringing some snacks every time he returns to Yinsi. "Children who didn't get the candy man last time, come here and get it, and you can divide this bag between yourselves."
"Thank you Brother Kui!!!"
The next second, the spirit babies happily distributed snacks.
"Brother Kui, do you know this bad guy?"
A spirit baby flew to Li Kui's ear, looked at the uncle, and said indignantly: "This guy just bullied my little sister."
"Bullying my little sister?
"he?"
Li Kui gently pinched Lingying's cheek and said softly: "Leave it to me."
"kindness."
The little spirit baby nodded and flew towards his friends.
"Hoo~ I'm saved."
On the other side, the uncle took a long breath, raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent sweat on his forehead, turned to look at the smiling Li Kui, cupped his fists and said: "Li Kui, thank you so much this time, if you hadn't appeared in time, , I don’t even know what to do.”
"You're welcome with just a little effort."
Li Kui waved his hands and smiled, glancing at the spirit babies in the distance: "Tell me what's going on."
Hearing this, Tu Bo groaned, showing a look that didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and just sighed: "It's really hard to explain in words."
"Today I'm here to reward the Shanxi Department for reporting."
"Oh, so you are going to be a member of the Good Rewards Department in the future?"
Hearing this, Li Kui was a little surprised.
Immediately, Tubo said angrily, "No, could you please stop interrupting?"
"Ahem, keep going."
"I haven't been to Yinsi for a long, long time."
Tu Bo Hu Mao couldn't help but show a sad look: "I saw no one at the door, only the spiritual babies sleeping soundly above my head, so I wanted to find a little girl to ask. As a result, the spiritual baby opened its eyes and saw me, and immediately So scared..."
Tu Bo didn't say the rest of the words, but you could understand it by looking at the look on his face.
This unfamiliar face scared the spirit baby directly.
"Hahahaha, I never thought you would be in such embarrassment."
Li Kui laughed unscrupulously and slapped Tu Bo heavily on the shoulder: "The spirit infants are responsible for the intelligence of the underworld, and their usual work is very heavy, because they can share it in real time.
"I was sleeping soundly, and suddenly I had a tiger face... right?"
Tu Bo nodded thoughtfully and asked quietly: "But I saw a lot of spiritual babies who look exactly the same."
"That's because they were too young before they died..." Li Kui stopped here and immediately said, "It's quite easy to tell the difference. They all have their own habitual movements by listening to the sounds or their own."
Tu Bo fixedly looked at Li Kui and suddenly looked ashamed. He immediately raised his hands and said, "Li Kui, Tu Bo is here to solemnly apologize to you. I was the one who spoke nonsense before I understood the situation. I hope you won't be offended."
Hearing this, Li Kui looked at him, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he touched his chin: "Okay, since you apologize so sincerely, those unpleasant things will be just a thing of the past."
Then, he raised his eyebrows: "Of course, if you want to discuss, I'm always welcome!"
Tu Bo raised his waist, his huge body casting a shadow.
Snapped.
The two fists met.
"Hmph, who is afraid of whom? I must get back to where we were last time."
Immediately afterwards.
"Um...I'm sorry."
A certain guy with the head of a tiger and the body of a cow was embarrassed to touch his head and apologize to the spirit babies.
After a while.
"Li Guisheng."
"Li Guisheng."
Several ghost officers and ghost officials who were passing by saw Li Kui and immediately said hello with a smile.
"Hello."
Li Kui smiled and nodded.
Seeing this scene, Tu Bo couldn't help but wink and said: "Li Kui, you are so popular here!"
"Hey, it's just so so."
Li Kui waved his hand casually, as if he was not surprised.
His identity is special in the underworld, and his current popularity is all due to the fermentation of the Yunmeng River ghost incident. As a pivotal existence, he naturally caused an uproar in the underworld.
The name Yin Lu Si Li Kui has completely surpassed Xiao Gang.
Immediately, Li Kui introduced: "Now the offices of the Department of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil are merged into one place. You just need to remember that the right side rewards good people, the left side punishes evil people, and the judge's hall is in the middle."
Then, he pointed to the equally large official residence to the east: "That's the Chacha Department, and a little behind is the Yinlu Department."
"It's pretty easy to remember."
The Tubo nodded slightly and couldn't help but say.
"Well, don't look at some houses that look small. Basically, there is something inside, and the space is very large." Li Kui led the uncle towards the direction of the Shangshu Department: "If you want to report, you should find Judge Fu, this person has a good character..."
"No wonder I saw fewer ghosts and judges along the way."
Tu Bo showed a look of surprise, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it would be great if someone could lead the way."
Li Kui smiled and asked one more question out of curiosity:
"With your personality, why didn't you choose the Division of Yin Law or the Division of Punishment?"
Both departments tend to be more focused on combat and field work, while the Good Rewards Department has more civilian work.
"No, I just want to be lazy and fish for fun!"
Tu Bo put his hands on his hips, and the Youdu at his waist swayed slightly, with a sly smile on his lips: "Actually, I just have a name in the Good Reward Division. I have suffered so much down there, and I have to enjoy it this time. Treat yourself.”
"I'll introduce you to a few friends later."
Li Kui raised his chin slightly and pointed towards the palace with eaves and brackets: "It's just ahead. I have other things to do, so I won't go in with you."
"Okay, we'll get in touch later."
Later, Tubo strode toward the palace.
Li Kui turned back towards the direction of the Punishment Department. As soon as he passed the corner of the intersection, a figure in a green robe came into view. His pupils shrank in surprise and he immediately shouted: "Master Gongyang Hall!"
Gong Yangjing, who was wearing a green robe, had his hands behind his back and stared at him calmly.
"Isn't the palace master here just to wait for me?"
Li Kui quickly came to Gong Yangjing's side and said as if he was joking.
"You guessed it right, I'm waiting for you here." Gong Yangjing waved his broad sleeves and turned around to leave.
This strange thing really confused Monk Li Kui and Zhang Er, so he had to follow step by step.
Gong Yangjing opened and closed his lips: "Yes, I have learned to expand my network."
"Many friends, many paths."
Li Kui smiled.
He and Tubo had never known each other before. This guy had good character and was a worthy friend. There had been a slight misunderstanding between the two parties before, but now they have laughed it off.
In addition, Tu Bo's strength is not weak, especially with the magic weapon Youdu in hand, the power of the ban is particularly difficult to deal with. It's just that he stayed in Yunmenghe Guixing for too long, which caused his strength to decline a bit seriously.
"Whether you are in the Yin Division or the Yin Lu Division, your foundation is indeed weak."
Gongyang Jing said without looking back: "It's a good thing that I can take the initiative."
Li Kui did not deny this.
"How long has it been since you advanced to become a ghost envoy?" Gongyang Jing suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Li Kui glanced at Gong Yang Jing's back and felt a little unsure about the palace master's thoughts, so he answered: "If you include the time spent on field service, it will only last two years."
"Two years."
Gongyang Jing paced and pointedly said: "In terms of qualifications and strength, you are still very lacking."
Before Li Kui could ask, he asked.
Gongyang Jing said directly: "Now there is a vacancy for the ghost hunter position in the Underworld Division. The Chacha Division has given it up voluntarily. Wei Zhiyou from the Good Rewards Division and Zhong Li from the Evil Punishment Division are both eyeing this position."
"Ghost hunting?"
Li Kui raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The promotion channels for the personnel of the four divisions - ghost officials (ghost officials), ghost envoys, ghost catchers (judges), and then the palace master.
Of course, there are also special figures among the judges, such as Han Dong. Although he has the official title of judge, he is actually the second-in-command in the Yinlu Department. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as the deputy palace master.
And Guizhan can already be regarded as a middle-to-high-level person in the Yin Division.
"Yes, the number of ghost hunters in each department is limited. Currently, there are ninety-eight in total."
Gongyang Jing glanced at Li Kui: "Everyone who can be a ghost hunter must not only surpass others in terms of strength, but also in a series of factors such as experience and resourcefulness."
This sentence reveals a lot of information.
Li Kui was not restrained and asked directly: "Palace Master, if there is a vacancy for the ghost hunter position, it should be an internal matter within each department. Why is it now the turn of the three departments to compete for a spot?"
But as he said this, he thought back to himself: "Oh, the essence is still competition, especially at this juncture. If anyone can stand out, he will undoubtedly receive a large amount of resources, and can determine the leader among the three divisions."
Gongyang Jing nodded slightly, indicating that what Li Kui said was true.
"The palace master plans to let me fight."
Speaking of this, how could Li Kui not understand?
But as Gong Yangjing said, in terms of qualifications, he is indeed a flaw that cannot be circumvented.
The corners of Gongyang Jing's lips curled up slightly, half-smiling but not smiling: "What, you don't have confidence?"
Li Kui straightened his back and raised his eyebrows with arrogance: "Of course I have confidence in whatever the palace master said."
"This matter was decided by the Master of the Third Division Hall after discussion."
Gongyang Jing said in an orderly manner: "In order to be fair and just, we will first conduct a round of screening within each company and decide on two people, and then six people will compete for the position of ghost hunter."
"Two people?"
Li Kui rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and joked: "Isn't it the Master of the Bell Palace who proposed this number of people?"
"good."
Gongyang Jing glanced at him and laughed twice: "He is very fond of brothers Shen Tu and Yu Lei."
Hearing this, Li Kui couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and also laughed.
Of course he knew Zhongli's preference for the two of them. The Xingfu Community incident at that time was originally just a confrontation between him and Xiao Gang, but Zhongli forcefully forced Shen Tu and Yu Lei in.
"I believe that for you, the so-called qualifications are just a matter of time."
Gongyang Jing paused and turned to face Li Kui: "The formal assessment content has not been determined yet. During this period..."
"I will work hard to improve myself."
Li Kui said seriously.
Then, he suddenly changed the topic: "But the palace master came to me this time, probably not for this matter."
Logically speaking, Gong Yangjing did not need to go to the trouble of telling him personally about this kind of matter. Of course, the most important point is that while the two were chatting, they had already walked out of the Department of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil, and were walking back.
Now Li Kui and Gong Yangjing were standing on an empty blue brick road. Looking around, it was obvious that the surrounding buildings had not changed much, but in their spiritual perception, the surrounding light was extremely dark.
The conflict caused by this sense is extremely awkward. If you look towards the end of the road, it will feel like falling into an abyss.
Gongyang Jing did not beat around the bush and nodded slightly: "Someone wants to see you."
"see me?"
Li Kui realized in an instant that it was not simple.
Who can ask the dignified master of the Yinlusi Palace to come and find someone in person? Plus this place is weird, maybe...
"It seems you guessed it."
Gong Yangjing noticed Li Kui's subtle changes and raised the corners of his mouth: "King Qin Guang wants to see you."
It was Qin Guang Wang Jianghou who wanted to see him! ?
Li Kui's eyes shrank in surprise, and then he slapped his forehead and suddenly realized that the Department of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil was walking behind, and it was not the palace of the heads of the various departments and the Yamas.
"Palace Master, why does King Qin Guang want to see me?" Li Kui couldn't help but ask after all.
"Haha, then I don't know."
Gongyang Jing laughed twice without meaning and continued to move forward.
Li Kui looked at the back of his palace master and couldn't help gritting his teeth. It was really disgusting.
If you want to go to Yama's palace, it becomes natural that your spiritual consciousness cannot go out. If there is no Gong Yangjing to lead the way, taking a wrong step will most likely end up being shattered to pieces!
After a while.
"We're here, Senluo Palace."
Gongyang Jing stopped.
Li Kui looked up and saw that he had arrived in front of a majestic palace.
There was bottomless darkness under their feet, surging like a living thing. Something was peering at them inside, but even with Li Kui's current level of cultivation, he couldn't sense the slightest bit. The stairs burning with hellfire went up. Go straight to the palace gate.
The existence of that palace suppressed the darkness!
