Immediately, the two ghost guards carried the soul of Zou Laoyong out of the hall, who was shouting for mercy. Four days later, Zou Laoyong's soul was released and he returned to the countryside where he usually guarded the watermelons in the thatched hut on the mountainside. He found that his body sleeping on the bamboo bed had stopped breathing and was dead. The body began to rot, smell, and then grow maggots.
Generally speaking, if a man does not eat or drink for five to six days, he may not be able to sleep to death, but he must be possessed by a soul; if the soul is separated from the body, he will die even if he wakes up and someone rescues him.
At that time, Zou Laoyong slept until the fifth day when the medicinal properties of the medicine dissipated. He also woke up, but his body was very weak and there was no one to save him. His more important soul was imprisoned in the Chenghuang Temple. If he could not return to his body, he would have no spirit. If I fall asleep again, I will sleep to death.
In addition, Zou Laoyong slept for three days from the beginning, and his soul was imprisoned for four days, for a total of seven days. His soul could not return to its original place, his life had reached its limit, and he had to die.
On the eighth day, Zou Laoyong's soul came to the City God's Temple crying and complained to the City God, saying that the City God imprisoned me for four days and made me lose my life. Give me back my life—give me back my life—
The city god got annoyed, slapped the table in the hall, and shouted loudly: Zou Laoyong, you deserve to die if you refuse to plead guilty. He also ordered the ghosts to go out of the palace to find Zou Laoyong, the soul of the dead general Zou Laoyong, who had an ox-headed and horse-faced general. He then escorted him to the Ghost Judge's Palace in the underworld to await trial.
The atmosphere in the Ghost Judge's Hall was tense. The judge with the crown on his head sat in the tent with a calm expression. There is a guard on the left and right, one with a bad look and the other with a good look. On both sides of the hall, there are ghost soldiers with different appearances, some with purple faces and green cheeks, some with white cheeks and red ears. At this moment, a cry came from outside the palace: You died unjustly...
As the bull-headed and horse-faced soul was escorted into the hall, the soul was still crying out for injustice. Niutou told him to shut up, and immediately reported to the judge that this dead soul was named Zou Laoyong, and he had just been captured from the city god near Jinse City in Yangshi. Ma Mian unchained the dead soul Zou Laoyong, making a sound of metal collision and friction. He glared angrily at Zou Laoyong, the dead soul, and whispered, "Be honest." And motioned him to kneel down facing the judge in the hall.
At this moment, the judge raised his hand and said calmly to the deceased Zou Laoyong, "If you have any grievances, tell them!"
The dead soul Zou Laoyong immediately burst into tears and told the cause of his death. Then he shouted that he died unjustly and asked the judge to make the decision for him. He sent the underworld agents to capture the city god in Jinse City and questioned him about the crime of indiscriminate use of underworld magic. To comfort the souls of those who died in vain.
The judge looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Zou Laoyong, the dead soul, I can hear the clues in what you said." I think that although you died in vain, you are not unjust at all.
Zou Laoyong, the deceased soul, raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and said in frustration, Grandpa Judge, you said the same thing. I died unjustly. If the city god in Jinse City had not imprisoned me for four days, my life would not have been lost!
The judge said that you had bad intentions and tried to make the girl fall asleep with your watermelon mixed with sleeping pills and then commit rape. Although it failed, you had already had this evil idea and it was accompanied by premeditated behavior, but the girl did not fall into your trap. of sets. Based on this alone, you have committed a capital crime. The city god in Jinse City should have detained you for four days. Not only did he have no fault, but he had merit. Your death was not unjust at all.
The dead soul Zou Laoyong cried loudly again and shouted, "People in the world say that the judge in the underworld is fair in handling cases, but as far as I am concerned, you are not fair either. Why do you say that I want to rape someone else's girl?" Although it was wrong for me to inject sleeping liquid into the pulp of the watermelon, my starting point was good. I wanted the girl to have a good sleep and have a good rest after eating the watermelon, but you are wrongly accusing me of plotting against the girl. I don't accept it.
The judge saw the deceased Zou Laoyong making arrogant arguments and even attacking himself. He was so angry that his blood boiled, but he did not show any anger. He only spoke to the guards on the left and right, and asked Zou Laoyong's three corpse gods to testify.
The hateful guards shouted loudly outside the palace. Peng Guo, Peng Zhi, and Peng Jiao, who were parasitized in Zou Laoyong's body, rushed to testify. The kind-faced guards did not shout, but only clasped their hands together and shook them toward the front of the palace. Two throws, three throws.
Boom, boom, boom, I saw a monster that looked like a child and was covered in hair; another monster that looked like a horse and was covered in hair appeared; and another monster that looked like a donkey and was still covered in hair appeared. , the three monsters stood in a row, and one by one they cupped their hands towards the judge and said: "Here comes the drum!" Peng Zhi is here! Peng Jiao is here!
The judge in the tent said with a serious face, "Three Corpse Gods, I have nothing to do with bringing you to this temple. I just want you to testify - Finger Zou Laoyong, the dead soul - That guy made strong excuses. He clearly wanted to rape the girl, but he said he had good intentions." Help other girls. Peng Zhi, you are parasitic in his mind. You know best what he is thinking.
Reporting back to the judge, during his lifetime, Zou Laoyong found a tall, elegant-looking girl passing by the edge of the watermelon field where he was sitting every day carrying bundles of firewood, so he racked his brains and tried to rape her, and finally came up with a way to inject her with sleeping potion. He tried to give the watermelon to the girl, but failed. Peng Tuo hereby testifies.
The judge then said to Peng Zhi, you are parasitic in the middle of his body, and you know his feelings best.
Reporting back to the judge, Peng Zhi glanced at the deceased Zou Laoyong who was kneeling aside and said that at that time, the girl's parents were carrying firewood down the mountain. When they encountered this incident, Zou Laoyong felt guilty. In order to prove that there was nothing wrong with the watermelon sent to quench his thirst, he immediately In front of the girl's family, they ate all the red watermelon cut into cubes. I usually eat whatever Zou Laoyong eats, but at that time, I wasn't hungry at all. He ate so much watermelon mixed with sleeping potion that I felt uncomfortable. I remember I kicked him hard in the stomach. He frowned in pain; when the medicine took effect and he returned to the bamboo bed in the straw shed and lay down to fall asleep, I quickly jumped out of his body to avoid being affected and falling asleep. That's all Peng Zhi said.
The judge pointed at Peng Jiao and said, you are parasitic on his two lower limbs, and you know how he feels.
To report back to the judge, I don’t want to say more, I just want to tell you the real situation. As soon as Zou Laoyong saw the pretty girl coming down the mountain carrying a load of firewood, something underneath him started to get excited. I pointed at it and cursed, you pervert, are you going to act like a gangster again? Of course, when I speak, how can Zou Laoyong hear me? But it can be seen from one point that he had the intention to rape the girl. This concludes Peng Jiao's testimony.
The judge grabbed an artifact similar to a gavel and slapped it heavily on the table. Then he raised his voice like a bell and scolded, "The undead Zou Laoyong and the three corpse gods have testified here. What else can be said?"
The judge spared his life. The deceased Zou Laoyong told the truth. I saw that the firewood-carrying girl was young and beautiful, and she did have evil thoughts. But I also want to tell the truth, I like her very much and really want to get her. I knew she looked down on me, so I thought hard and came up with a bad idea. I gave her a watermelon injected with sleeping potion. Fortunately, she didn't eat it, so my plot didn't succeed. I just had the idea to take some action, and begged the judge to treat the people lightly.
The judge stared at Zou Laoyong, the dead soul, for a moment, then looked back at his fingers that were calculating something, and then said "hum" loudly, "Zou Laoyong, the dead soul, you are obsessed with lust and have many desires, but do you remember that you worked in a nursing home during your lifetime?" Something that happened during your tenure as dean?
The deceased Zou Laoyong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately replied, Grandpa Judge, the past is vivid in my mind, what are you talking about?
The judge asked, do you remember a girl who came to your nursing home as a volunteer? The deceased Zou Laoyong said, I remember that it was more than 20 years ago. The girl who was a volunteer was named Li Yu. She was very good. However, she is a monster, a harmless monster, and a good monster.
The judge tilted his head and said, "Zou Laoyong, the dead soul, let me tell you that the girl who picked up firewood you tried to seduce was the reincarnation of the volunteer girl you mentioned. 20 years ago, she looked down on you. 20 years later You are getting older and older, and she will look down on you even more. Your lust will not die, but your lust will kill your body. You should live to be 72 years old, but you are only 52 now. You have killed yourself because of lust, which is a whole reduction. After 20 years of life, such a wasted death is exactly the fault of oneself.
Grandpa Judge, to be honest, even though I can’t get that queen, I still like that girl. Before I was 20 years old, I wanted to get with her, and after I turned 20, I wanted to get with her again. Although I never got her, I never hurt her. Instead, I tried to get her. I’m not willing to accept that my life has been lost!
The judge sternly reprimanded, "Zou Laoyong, the dead soul, you still persist in your stubbornness and commit suicide. What crime should you do?"
