Chapter 158 The Four Judges
Zhong Kui held the Demon-Slaying Sword in his right hand and spread out his left hand, and suddenly a thick book appeared.
"Lin Chen... let me see what evil things you have done in your life!"
The pages of the book turn automatically without wind.
Keep turning the pages, from the first page to the last page.
The book disappeared.
Zhong Kui's expression became even more serious.
"Send the order, set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation, and seal off the entire Fengdu City."
When the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Devil heard this, they were all shocked.
"Sir, do we really need to set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation?"
"Nonsense, right now!"
"Yes!"
A solemn and murderous voice rang out throughout the entire Fengdu City.
Countless ghost soldiers and generals rose into the air and surrounded the entire Fengdu City.
Zhong Kui pointed the "Demon-Slaying Sword" at Lin Chen.
"Your name is not in the Book of Life and Death? You are not a human, what kind of monster are you?"
Only then did the other ghost soldiers and generals understand why Zhong Kui was facing a powerful enemy.
If a person is not listed in the Book of Life and Death, it means that he is outside the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements.
Even Sun Wukong has his name in the Book of Life and Death.
This man named Lin Chen actually doesn’t have it.
As the [Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation] appeared, the entire underworld was shaken.
Even when Lin Zhengying broke into the underworld, he did not use this formation.
The other three judges also suddenly appeared.
Wei Zheng from the Reward and Benevolence Department, Lu Zhidao from the Investigation Department, and Cui Yu from the Yinlu Department arrived almost at the same time.
Cui Yu of Yinlusi is the chief of the four great judges.
He holds the soul-collecting pen in one hand and the book of life and death in the other.
"Zhong Kui, what happened?"
Of course, the three judges who had just arrived also saw Lin Chen.
What they didn't understand was why the [Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation] was used for this ordinary person.
Zhong Kui said: "This person is not in the Book of Life and Death."
When the three of them heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Zhong Kui asked: "Why hasn't the King of Hell come yet?"
Wei Zheng said: "He played chess with me and lost five games in a row. Now he went to Ksitigarbha to seek a sense of existence."
Zhong Kui murmured, "Doesn't he know that Ksitigarbha is also giving in to him?"
Lu Zhidao: "That's why I went because I knew it."
Zhong Kui: “Shameless…”
Since the King of Hell is not here, Cui Yu is the highest official here.
He took two steps forward and said, "Who on earth are you? If you don't explain clearly, you can't leave Fengdu City."
Lin Chen said: "Four judges, please don't complicate simple matters.
I have said it several times, I am here just to talk to Master Lin Zhengying. "
Lu Zhidao: "How did you get down?"
Lin Chen took out his pass and showed it to them.
Cui Yu: "There is such a thing? I have never seen it before. Have you guys seen it?"
Wei Zheng and Lu Zhidao also shook their heads.
Cui Yu held the notebook and said, "Why does this material... look familiar?"
Zhong Kui also said: "Yes, I don't know whether this book is true or not, but I feel like I have seen this material somewhere before."
Wei Zheng rubbed the notebook a few times and suddenly his expression changed drastically.
"This... is actually the same material as the most important sacred object in the entire underworld, the Ksitigarbha Sutra?"
He didn't dare say it because the impact of this matter was too great.
He whispered to Cui Yu, "Can you notify the King of Hell to come back immediately?"
Cui Yu was puzzled and said, “You don’t know where Ksitigarbha is.
Only the King of Hell can enter; none of us four judges can enter.
What do you see?"
Wei Zheng expressed his doubts in a low voice, and only the four judges heard it.
The expressions of the other three people also changed immediately.
The "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" existed when the underworld had not yet been established.
The underworld was created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
This "Jizo Sutra" is the truth that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva attained after he became a Buddha.
The four judges were also fortunate enough to have read the authentic version of the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".
But as to the material, only Wei Zheng, who had touched it secretly, knew about it.
The other three just watched respectfully.
"Hey, Judge, I'm really in a hurry."
Lin Chen looked at the ghost soldiers and generals all around him in the sky, but he was not afraid.
He is greedy.
It would be so cool if I could absorb all of this.
They are all ghosts with cultivation, not ordinary wandering ghosts.
Cui Yu's tone of voice also changed.
The previous pride and indifference are completely gone.
“Lin Chen, right? It’s not that we don’t want to take you with us, but only the King of Hell can go.
The King of Hell is in there now and we can’t notify him.
Could you please wait here for a while?"
Lin Chen looked at him, "Why are you so respectful all of a sudden?"
"Is the King of Hell really not here?"
"Really, we can stay here with you until he comes back."
Lin Chen said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I have to watch the time to go back."
Wei Zheng asked him, "What do you want to see Master Lin for?
Or tell us if we can help?"
When the other ghost soldiers and generals heard this, they were all extremely surprised.
When did the four judges become so amiable and helpful?
Normally, even when the King of Hell is around, they all seem to be second only to each other in conversation.
Lin Chen said "Oh".
That’s right, these judges and ghost messengers have been in office for many years, they should know.
"My four judges, I just want to ask, how can we deal with the Ghost Emperor?
Is there an easier way?"
"Ghost Emperor?"
The four judges took a step back at the same time.
Lin Chen blinked, "It's not that scary, right?"
Zhong Kui swallowed and asked, "Is it wild?"
Lin Chen was stunned and didn't understand.
Wei Zheng asked, "So this Ghost Emperor cultivated himself to this level?"
Lin Chen: "Oh, that's not the case. I guess I was supported by someone."
The four judges all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Lu Zhidao: "The combat effectiveness of this kind of thing is limited."
Cui Yu: "It is actually like this, the level of our four judges is actually equal to that of the Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor is already at the level of the King of Hell.
Of course, we who have positions in the underworld are indeed different from other ghosts.
To deal with the wild Ghost King, we have to ask Ksitigarbha for help.
But you are talking about the kind that is supported by others, maybe the four of us judges can take him down."
Lin Chen showed a surprised look, "Is there such a big difference between practicing on your own and being supported by others?"
Wei Zheng: "It's actually the difference between domestic pigs and wild boars.
Once many domestic pigs are released into the wild, their tusks will gradually grow longer, as will their bristles.
It’s not that my abilities are too poor, but I’m affected by the environment and can’t realize my full potential.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.
Didn’t the four judges just say they could help?
That's perfect, help me capture that Ghost Emperor."
Lin Chen thought, since you are so respectful, then there is no need to waste it.
Cui Yu and others discussed it.
Zhong Kui asked: "Boss Cui, are we really going to help him? We don't even know what he is now."
Cui Yu: "Whoever he is, since the King of Hell is not here, let him owe us a favor first.
As for whether they will be friends or enemies later, we will tell when the time comes."
Wei Zheng: "Cui Yu is right, think about it, how many powerful beings are outside the Three Realms?
And even if he doesn’t know Ksitigarbha, the person who gave them the materials must be no ordinary person.”
Lu Zhidao: "If he is a friend, then he owes us a big favor.
If he is an enemy, we will beat him harder, right?"
The four judges made their decision.
"Okay, then please lead the way, Mr. Lin."
