It wasn't until he was surrounded by the ten kings of hell and entered the gate of Fengdu that Li Jianguo realized that he had really lost his life because of a letter of appointment in his dream.
If I had known that I should not have agreed to the old man who claimed to be an immortal in yesterday's dream, saying that he could save himself from fire and water, and that he only needed to go to the underworld to solve some minor troubles, so that he could transcend the mortal world, no longer be trapped in the world, and be free from the world of mortals. .
This is just great.
I don’t know whether I saved myself from fire or water, but in a few days, my body will definitely be burning brightly in the crematorium.
The premise is that his body in the rental house can be discovered in time.
Li Jianguo was deeply skeptical.
But I can’t think about the troubles in the world anymore. People still have to live in the present.
Although he is no longer a human being, if he dies, then he must at least "die" in the present moment.
Now Li Jianguo is walking on the bright red carpet of Fengdu City. In the atmosphere of Pluto's ardent greetings, the cheers of the ghosts and the sound of firecrackers, he vaguely senses a hint of invitation to enter the urn: above, he who knows nothing about himself Solving the problem of Hades...shouldn't it be possible...did you get a scapegoat script?
When I just deleted it a few dozen minutes ago, I was still regretting that I couldn't delete the browsing history on my phone in time. As a result, just when the soul was stuck in the body and could not come out, when he looked up, four men came out of the wall opposite him. They were dressed in black, with solemn expressions and firm eyes. They were carrying a pure black hat. The sedan chair rushed towards me across mountains and seas in a whirlwind of wind and fire.
Without allowing Li Jianguo to react, the man in black grabbed Li Jianguo's shelled soul and rushed him onto the black sedan. Then he shouted the slogan, carried the sedan with the momentum of sprinting for 100 meters, and started running wildly.
Li Jianguo was stunned.
I have always heard that people are rushing to reincarnate and reincarnating. Is this how you rush to reincarnate?
Don't tell me, this service is very user-friendly!
He walked non-stop along the way, holding the stars and chasing the moon. As the sky quickly darkened as if it had been splashed with ink, Li Jianguo realized that he was probably entering the underworld.
There were more people cheering and screaming on the roadside. As the sedan continued to move forward, more and more people cheered. Coupled with the blowing and playing along the way, Li Jianguo felt that he was the bride with an uncertain future in the wedding team.
Not long after, the sky became so dark that no texture could be seen, and the silent night blocked the view like a curtain. The deserted road was full of potholes and ravines, and smoldering torches were stuck on both sides at random times, shining light at the feet of the people passing by without much interest.
Under the excitement and gaze of people on both sides of the road, the moving figures and the mocking BGM sent Li Jianguo to an unknown gatehouse. The sedan fell down. The sound of blowing and beating also disappeared, and the air suddenly solidified strangely, as if waiting for the gong to start the show.
Li Jianguo was confused and moved the curtain:
Red carpet, crowds, flowers, red flags, colorful pieces of paper flying all over the sky.
Dark sky, gloomy wind, bull head, horse face, timeless ancient stone gate tower.
On the gatehouse with three rooms and four pillars, the three characters "Ghost Gate" are vaguely engraved. The mottled stone pillars are wrapped with several cold iron chains, and there are reliefs of Yaksha evil spirits and bull-headed and horse-faced figures on them. There are more than 70 skulls of different shapes scattered on the cornices, covering most of the animals. They looked at everything behind the gate of hell with cold eyes, simple and majestic, majestic and vigorous.
In the past, these skulls would have frightened the demons into bowing their heads and the ghosts to surrender. But today, the sinister atmosphere created by these skulls has been completely wiped out. The main reason is that the circle of flickering lanterns surrounding the gatehouse is too eye-catching.
Just like the silent light signs in a dilapidated neighborhood, this circle of colored lights appropriately conveys a gorgeous and desolate atmosphere: one wire and two circles of light bulbs. Three horizontally and four vertically, colorful, seven short and eight long, 90% worn, very strange.
How could this scene of ghost gates and colorful lanterns come together? These two feeling layers are inconsistent, right? When did Fengdu start to develop the Internet celebrity attraction Yangjian?
A bright red carpet passed through the crowd at the Gate of Hell, from the entrance of the sedan chair to the gate of Fengdu City. On both sides of the red carpet, the Yamas and civil and military judges of the Tenth Palace in different colors of court uniforms had already lined up to greet them, with their usually majestic and terrifying faces. He smiled for the first time in a long time and stared at the sedan with intense eyes.
A blazing red banner rang loudly above everyone's heads, with the following large characters written in standard Song font on the banner:
Welcome Mr. Li Jianguo, the number one official in the Three Realms’ imperial examination, to visit the underworld to inspect the work!
Only then did Li Jianguo react in his heart:
I didn't die, I became an official.
anyway……
Li Jianguo quickly looked at his body and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, I was wearing my own clothes. Plaid shirt and jeans may not lead any fashion trends, but at least they are not naked.
So, the letter of appointment I received in my dream yesterday...
Li Jianguo put his hand in his trouser pocket and took out a crumpled letter of appointment:
Li Jianguo was given the title of No. 1 Death Officer of the Three Realms, responsible for solving all kinds of problems in the underworld. No mistakes should be made, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!
Li Jianguo thought for a while, but couldn't figure out who the disobedient was to be executed:
Is it someone who disobeys Li Jianguo, or should he kill Li Jianguo?
Seeing that Li Jianguo was taking a long time to get out like a big girl sitting in a sedan, King Qin Guang of the first palace, dressed in black, walked quickly to the door of the sedan, opened the curtain with excitement on his face, grabbed Li Jianguo's arm, and pulled Li Jianguo out. Li Jianguo stood alone. Uncertainly threw himself out of the sedan door, raised his head, and stared blankly at the people in Wuyang Wuyang in front of him.
Weak, pitiful and helpless.
The ten kings of hell gathered in a pile and stood neatly in front of them, like seven aunts and eight aunts during the New Year, looking at Li Jianguo with concern and excitement. This kind of scene that only appears in nightmares is actually happening before my eyes!
The ten kings of hell all have long beards and wear ten different colors of ancient court clothes. At first glance, they look like a palette of spirits. The King of Hell has a staff member on each side who is wearing a suit and has a modern hairstyle. They are very capable and straight. Maybe they are civil and military judges?
Behind a row of palettes, various things of unknown shape and scrawled appearance are boiling. They have different clothes, different expressions, different species, and maybe different lives and deaths.
Different people looked at this place with very different eyes, and Li Jianguo was where everyone's gaze converged, the center point and the eye of the storm of this grand ceremony.
King Qin Guang grabbed Li Jianguo's hand, pulled Li Jianguo up, shook him hard and said:
"Looking for the stars and the moon, finally the savior has arrived!"
This was the first sentence Li Jianguo heard after his death.
Li Jianguo was in a daze, with a clear sense of stupidity lingering on his face: Huh?
"Expert, you are here. We are waiting for you every day, and we are thinking every day, why don't you die quickly! Ah, no, why don't you go to hell quickly? We are eagerly waiting for you to solve the problem. ! Now the wait is finally here! Let’s go and talk to each other in the palace!”
After that, this group of hell kings who looked like paint bottles surrounded Li Jianguo and walked lively towards Fengdu City.
Etc., etc!
expert? Savior? !
Li Jianguo looked at the three generations of his ancestors and found that no one seemed to have anything to do with these two words.
During his lifetime, he was only a tour guide with only five years of work experience.
Li Jianguo stopped resolutely, frowned, and asked the kings of hell seriously:
"Dear King of Hell, please wait a moment. I have indeed signed an agreement, but before that, can you let me see what the notice given to you is?"
With a smile on his face, King Qin Guang took out a yellow-headed document from his sleeve: "Of course, of course, here it is!"
Li Jianguo opened the piece of paper, and there were several columns of words printed on it:
"My dear friends, including Yama of the Ten Palaces, I am aware of the problems you have reported. I am shocked to hear such difficulties, and I cannot sleep at night. I know that the conditions are difficult for all my dear friends, and their hard work is of great merit, so I have personally selected Li Jianguo, a capable man with lofty ideals, to assist you. Ai Qing, please solve the problem. Li Jianguo is an unparalleled genius. He is good at all things literary, Taoist and military, and knows everything about astronomy and geography. With the help of this person, you will be able to turn disaster into good luck and go further. Therefore, I personally give Li Jianguo the title of Three Realms The first imperial edict is to test the dead officials. I hope that all my beloved ministers will help us to build a beautiful Hades. I admire this!"
Li Jianguo was a little stunned when he saw the yellow-headed document for the first time:
Li Jianguo in the document has nothing to do with him.
Since it is definitely not me, then the old man in the sky will not just hire me, Li Jianguo, casually, and then send a completely wrong notice to the underworld!
Without giving Li Jianguo any time to think, he was carried forward on the red carpet in the crowd. When he raised his head again, a towering city stood majestically under the dark dome.
Under the tall and magnificent gate tower with double eaves, the dark wind blew and the long black flag waved fiercely. The weather-beaten boulders built a strong barrier more than ten meters high, and it seems that the lines from the beginning of creation can be seen on the city wall. Two magnificent gates that never close are surrounded by city walls. The door is red in color, with half a ghost face carved on each side, which is eerie and terrifying.
At a glance, the entire gatehouse is like an ancient lion with its bloody mouth open, staring solemnly at every passerby. Perhaps every restless intruder who entered before will be swallowed up, leaving no trace of life behind. Mark of.
Several armor-clad, cross-species guards holding silver spears stood majestically in front of the giant city gate. Above the city gate is a mottled and solemn plaque: Fengdu.
This is the place of reincarnation for all souls in the world - the ghost town Fengdu.
Li Jianguo thought of 10,000 ways to enter Fengdu City, but none of them were like this, where he was sandwiched by a bunch of hell kings and a group of underworld messengers flocked into Fengdu.
Back to the present, Li Jianguo has been walking on the red carpet for a long time, and he has gradually become aware of his situation.
What kind of trial officer...the scapegoat didn't run away. If the problem is solved well, the people above me will be responsible for it; if the problem is not solved well, I will be kicked out and beheaded.
First I died for no reason because of this matter, and then I might even end up in a state of despair because of this matter.
Li Jianguo fell down in a cold sweat.
But fortunately, Li Jianguo is very good at self-comfort:
That’s it for now, let’s eat first.
Li Jianguo has an unbreakable philosophy of life: when you have eaten your last meal but not your next meal, it is better to eat your last meal well than wondering where your next meal will be.
Li Jianguo said calmly: "Dear Kings of Hell, things have priorities, and I also need to make reasonable time arrangements. Why don't we eat first? If we have anything to say, we can talk about it at the dinner table."
King Yama was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought that the new heavenly official was really different. He was so calm and taciturn. At first glance, he was a vigorous and resolute person.
High, really high!
