Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong ran out of the door, but the landlady didn't chase them out. She didn't even make a fuss, she just sneered.
On the dark long street, two people ran towards the outside of the town.
But after running a few steps, the two of them felt something was wrong.
The boss lady's behavior was too calm.
Zhang Chu suddenly grabbed Tu Xiaowu and made her stop: "That's not right!"
Tu Xiaowu turned to look at Zhang Chu: "What's wrong?"
"Why didn't the lady boss chase her out?" Zhang Chu said.
Tu Xiaowu looked back and said, "Because she can't run as fast as us."
"How is it possible? It's not like you haven't felt the aura of the boss lady. If she really wants to chase her, she can at least catch one of us." Zhang Chu said.
"No matter, if she doesn't chase her, we won't go back. Let's walk slowly along the road to the next town." Xiao Wutong said.
Zhang Chu nodded: "Yes, but don't walk too fast. I feel that things may not be that simple."
"good!"
Since the landlady didn't chase them and didn't make any noise, Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong slowly walked out of the town.
However, at this moment, the two people suddenly discovered that two monsters appeared in front of them.
One is a monster with a body and an ox's head, holding a trident in his hand.
The other is a monster with a body and a horse's head, holding an iron rope in his hand.
They are all extremely tall. Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong are probably not as tall as their knees.
At this moment, these two monsters were walking towards Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong step by step.
As soon as these two monsters appeared, Zhang Chu was shocked. Aren't these the legendary bull heads and horse faces? How could they appear here?
At this moment, Zhang Chu's thoughts couldn't help but return to the earth again. According to legend, there is a life-threatening Yinshi in the underworld, who specializes in hunting down the souls of people who are about to expire.
These two things are so ominous that anyone who sees them will die.
"Go quickly and avoid them!" Zhang Chu said.
However, the next moment, Zhang Chu suddenly found that he could not move his feet. Xiao Wutong also turned pale and exclaimed: "It's broken, I can't move!"
A heavy iron chain suddenly wrapped around the bodies of Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong.
"If you dare to violate the rules of this world, come with us."
A cold and majestic voice sounded in the ears of Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong.
Then, the bull head and horse face turned around and walked towards the dark night in the distance.
Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong, on the other hand, were led by iron chains and followed the horse forward without controlling their bodies.
The two people wanted to struggle and resist, but strangely, their bodies were completely out of control.
Their souls seemed to be imprisoned, and they could only watch their bodies, following the bull head and horse face towards the unknown darkness.
Even after Tie Suo joined them, they couldn't even speak.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Chu was frightened in his heart. This feeling of being completely out of control was too uncomfortable.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Zhang Chu felt that his shoes were worn out, and his feet felt a biting pain when he stepped on the cold ground.
gusts of cold wind blew, and Zhang Chu felt like ten thousand knives, constantly cutting his body, almost freezing himself.
Although Zhang Chu could not control his body, the bone-piercing pain was clearly felt by Zhang Chu. It was too painful.
Zhang Chu wanted to see how Little Wutong was doing, but now he couldn't even control his neck or even his eyes. He could only see through the corner of his eye that Little Wutong was also locked by the iron rope in a daze, and he was walking forward mechanically. go.
"What kind of road is this? Is it going to the underworld?" Zhang Chu's heart was filled with fear and confusion.
At this moment, Zhang Chu suddenly discovered that there were more people in the team.
Two strong men joined the team at some point. They were also chained and walked forward step by step.
There were also a few old men who joined the team at some unknown time and walked in front of Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong.
Zhang Chu also heard the jingling of many chains behind him, but he couldn't move his neck. It just sounded like there were a lot of people...
"Are they all people who violated the rules and were arrested by bull-headed and horse-faced people?" Zhang Chu was shocked. Could it be that these people must be executed?
The biting cold wind kept blowing, almost freezing Zhang Chu's thoughts.
And the number of people in the team is actually increasing.
I don't know how long it took, but a majestic and tall hall appeared in front of me, standing there like a hill.
The main hall was pitch black, but firelight was coming from every window, illuminating the space around the main hall.
After approaching the main hall, bursts of screams came from the main hall.
Those screams were so horrifying, as if they were undergoing horrific punishment, that Zhang Chu was terrified.
Zhang Chu saw that there was a plaque in the main hall, with the word "Yan" vaguely visible in it.
Finally, everyone was led into the hall.
Above the main hall, there is a huge figure sitting cross-legged. The figure has a dark face and eyes bigger than a tiger's head. He is wearing a purple official robe and looks extremely majestic.
At this moment, the man's voice boomed: "Everyone line up and come one by one."
"You people are all unruly. When this judge sentences you, you will go and receive the sentence. You will die how you want." A terrifying and majestic voice rang in everyone's ears.
The cow head and horse face are separated to the left and right sides.
Then Zhang Chu saw two thin and different-looking "ghosts" in front of him. They carried the woman who was first in line to the front and asked her to kneel in front of the judge.
The judge said: "Lu Furong, you eat in the home of the ugly man Wang Erlang, but you sleep in the home of the beautiful man Feng Baiyang."
"We agreed that we will give birth to a child for Wang Erlang within three years."
"But the agreed time has come, and the child cannot be born. You violated the agreement, and I ordered you to be fried in oil for six hours before you were allowed to die."
A dark sign was thrown in front of the woman, and the two brats immediately lifted the woman and threw her into the hot oil pan not far away.
The moment she entered the oil pan, the woman's scream came: "Ah, spare my life, spare my life, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
…
However, it was useless. No matter how hard the woman struggled, she could not leave the oil pan. Moreover, she could still stay awake and not die. She could only keep rolling in the oil pan.
Zhang Chu was horrified when he heard this. What kind of ghost place is this? How come it is exactly the same as the legendary hell?
Are you going to be tortured to death just because you and Xiao Wutong ate two bowls of rice without paying?
At this moment, two more brats escorted a strong man to the palace.
The judge said: "Feng Kou, you made a bet with someone and said that if you lost, you would eat ten catties of shit. You only ate nine catties and eight taels. You didn't follow the rules and you whipped for three hours. After that, you threw yourself into the lake and drowned."
Bang, the sign was thrown in front of this person.
After a while, the sound of the whip cracking the skin and flesh could be heard.
Another old man was pulled to the front of the hall.
"Xu Ye, fifty years ago, you owed someone a copper leaf and became a slave. Instead of working hard to redeem yourself, you ran away instead. You should be crushed to death with a stone mill."
Then, the old man was pulled into a piece of graphite. The graphite slowly rotated, starting from the old man's feet, and directly crushed the old man's feet into bloody mud.
The old man screamed and struggled, but it was useless. His body was swallowed bit by bit by the stone mill.
Zhang Chu was horrified to see it. He owed a copper leaf and couldn't redeem himself for fifty years. In the end, he couldn't bear to run away and was crushed to death by a stone mill. What kind of absurd world is this?
Next, several more people in front were sentenced.
All the charges were very ridiculous, but after careful observation, Zhang Chu understood something, that is, the rules.
As long as the rules are set, they must be followed, otherwise, everyone will die miserably.
Especially things like bets, bets, and agreements. Once you make a bet or an oath, no matter how small the agreement is, if you fail to fulfill it, you will lose your life.
However, it was too late to know this.
Now Zhang Chu's soul has completely severed contact with his physical body. If he wants to run away, his physical body will not obey his orders at all, and he can only become a lamb to be slaughtered.
At this moment, a kid has already come to Zhang Chu, groping around Zhang Chu, trying to pull Zhang Chu to the front of the palace for trial.
But suddenly, a kid took out a stack of paper money from Zhang Chu's body.
"Big money!" A kid suddenly exclaimed, his hands trembling.
The other kid's legs went weak and he knelt down directly to Zhang Chu.
These two brats, as if they had met a noble person they could not afford to offend, kowtowed to Zhang Chu.
At the same time, a kid lay in front of Zhang Chu and kissed Zhang Chu's feet.
Warm power suddenly came from his feet. In an instant, Zhang Chu gained control of his body and his body regained freedom.
Zhang Chu hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the two brats kowtowing to him.
He was surprised and didn't understand why these two brats suddenly acted like this.
At this moment, a little kid trembled, raised the wad of paper money, and said in a humble voice: "My dear, please forgive me. We don't know your identity as a noble, and we have offended your noble, please forgive us!"
"Noble?" Zhang Chu looked at the pile of paper money. Isn't this the kind of paper money that Zhang Chu, Xiao Wutong, and Xuan Kong encountered in the tomb of the ancestor of the Meng family.
At first, in the tomb passage, some paper money fell on their faces, and then the paper money disappeared.
At that time, Xiao Wutong thought that this thing would have a very bad impact on him, but no matter how they searched, they could not find where the paper money had gone.
Unexpectedly, in this situation, these paper money actually appeared on Zhang Chu's body.
But at this moment, this kid was holding the paper money tremblingly, but he didn't dare to ask for it.
Zhang Chu thought and took the paper money back directly.
After Zhang Chu took the money, the kid was obviously relieved.
At this time, Zhang Chu's heart moved, big money?
Could it be that this paper money is the real money in this world?
Or is it that this kind of paper money is only money when it meets the bull head and horse face?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu couldn't help but turn his head slightly and look at the bull-headed horse face.
And Zhang Chu also discovered that the two men with bull heads and horse faces were staring at the "big money" in Zhang Chu's hands with greedy expressions.
