The narrow and long Bridge of Helplessness spanned across the River of Forgetfulness and led to the depths of the illusory Cloud Trail. The ghosts who did not touch the dust whimpered as they drank a bowl of Meng Po's soup and stepped onto the unpredictable path of life.
In the depths of the Cloud Trail, there was a formless suction force. Once the ghosts stepped onto the bridge, there was no possibility of turning back. They could only float forward like moths flying into a flame.
At this moment, there was a very arrogant voice that shouted, "I will complain! I will definitely complain! "
Along with the voice, a very handsome young man walked over from the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness. His hair was waxed and looked neat and shiny. He wore a white suit with many sequins and looked like a singer who had just walked off the stage.
"Pa!" A bowl of fragrant Meng Po's soup fell to the ground and the wrinkles on Meng Po's face became even deeper. She murmured and sighed, "The ninth time, the ninth time, this scourge is back again."
That singer like ghost was followed by a pair of Ox-Head and Horse-Face. Ox-Head's eyes were as wide as a bull's eyes while Horse-Face's face was even longer than a donkey's face. This was because Zheng Shaopeng, whom they had decided to reject, had returned.
His legend of nine deaths and eight reincarnations began when he fell from the cable car on the way to Nancang Mountain. Because he caught a three-year-old girl before he fell, he accumulated merits and increased his lifespan by three years. However, this pair of unlucky Ox-Head and Horse-Face rushed back to attend the wedding of Lord Cheng Huang's daughter. Before he fell, they hooked his soul back.
When they woke up from their drunken stupor, they realized that they had captured the wrong person. Zheng Shaopeng's physical body in the world of the living had already been cremated. In order to avoid responsibility, they could only bribe Magistrate Cui to send him back to the world of the living so that he could use up his three years of lifespan.
Who would have thought … Within a year, he actually died eight times, and none of them lasted more than two months. Speaking of which, Magistrate Cui treated him quite well. In his first life, he sent him into the body of a rich man from Wenzhou who had just drowned. This rich man opened four clothing companies and had a net worth of 300 million. He was 68 years old this year but his wife was only 28 years old. His three beautiful lovers were even younger, the youngest was only 18 years old. Wasn't this enough for him?
The problem was … this rich man did not drown in the river, nor did he drown in the sea, but in the bathtub. He was drowned by his beautiful wife while he was taking a bath.
Seeing this, Zheng Shaopeng, who was floating in the air and waiting to be possessed felt a chill down his spine. Thus, he cried and wiped his tears unwillingly as he was pushed into the body of the newly drowned rich man. Thus, he really couldn't enjoy this kind of happiness.
Using two weeks, he understood the operation and situation of the entire company. Then, he allocated one-third of the property to the rich man's wife and the two abandoned sons, and tried his best to donate the rest.
A month later, he clearly saw that he was dead, but he came back to life again. Moreover, he looked at her with a strange expression all day long, which directly scared her crazy. Then, his beautiful wife used a fruit knife to continuously stab his body. When Ox-Head and Horse-Face heard the news and rushed over, they also felt that it was a little disgusting to let him possess the body of the corpse that was riddled with holes to resurrect, so they could only bring him back to the underworld.
Of course, Zheng Shaopeng wouldn't tell them that he felt that the parts of the old man's body that should be hard were already soft, but the parts that should be soft were all hard, so he deliberately courted death. Thus, Magistrate Cui racked his brains and sent him into the body of a deputy mayor who had just died of illness.
This deputy mayor was only 48 years old, and could be considered to be in the prime of his life. He lived in a high-class ward, and his body was full of tubes. When he was just hospitalized, the busy scene had become deserted since the attending doctor told the organization that he was going to hold a memorial service for him.
Zheng Shaopeng had never thought that he could be such a high-ranking official. He really wanted to make a difference, but he really couldn't bear to have a woman who was almost as old as his mother as his wife.
Therefore, he stayed in the hospital all day long and refused to go home. When he found out that this deputy mayor was actually a member of a group of corrupt people, he was greatly relieved.
He collected a pile of evidence and sent it to the provincial disciplinary committee. Thus, when the organization strictly investigated the case, he was honorably and voluntarily killed by his original accomplices.
No one was perfect. Zheng Shaopeng could only sigh like this. Why were there no young, rich, handsome, elegant, and elegant young masters in the world?
Uh … In fact, it was not that there were none, but the young people who met these conditions were very healthy and delicious. If he wanted to possess them, he still had to wait.
It was not easy for him to possess a handsome, elegant, and famous singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan for the eighth time. It could be regarded as fulfilling his wish. He should stay well for the next two years.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly … He actually died and came back. Not to mention the poor Magistrate Cui, even Ox-Head and Horse-Face were about to go crazy.
Zheng Shaopeng, on the other hand, was greatly relieved. Not long after he possessed the famous singer who had just died of illness, he was horrified to find that this handsome young man, who had driven countless girls crazy, was actually a homosexual, and he was the kind of person who played the role of Zero.
The two burly lads who accompanied him often harassed him, and when he refused to approach them, their eyes were filled with hidden bitterness, making his scalp go numb. This kind of ruined body … I am a dignified man, starving to death is a small matter, but losing my chastity is a big matter!
Zheng Shaopeng thought in grief and indignation. So … when the company arranged for him to participate in the disaster relief performance in the mainland, this famous singer who had just recovered from a serious illness' accidentally 'fell from the stage, and the back of his head hit a popcorn-sized stone. Thus, a wisp of his fragrant soul went straight to the underworld with hidden bitterness.
* * *
It was quiet in the Netherworld Main Hall. There was a pile of documents on the dark square table, but Magistrate Cui was nowhere to be seen. Ox-Head and Horse-Face looked around in surprise, and walked towards the square table.
On the antique square table, there was a monitor that was similar to a computer in the human world. Half of a body was exposed under the table, and it seemed that someone was hiding under the table.
Ox-Head walked forward and called out carefully, "Magistrate, what are you doing under the table?"
Magistrate Cui climbed out from under the table. He was wearing a red ancient official robe, and there were two peach-leaf-like gauze wings on his black gauze hat. He looked a little like a seventh-rank county magistrate on the stage, with slanted eyebrows, small eyes, and a wrinkled face that looked like a stuffed bun, which was quite funny.
When the old man saw them, he frowned and sighed, "Alas! It's all thanks to the 'Plague to Death' system. Hell's work efficiency has improved ever since the introduction of the system. That said, it's only been a matter of months since the installation of the system. That said, I can now operate every single installation step with my eyes closed.
What's worse is that the System is really dead, fake dead, and automatically rebooting. There are endless problems. I heard that Magistrate Zhang Hong of the Samsara Temple used the loopholes in the System to travel through time and space to be a stud horse. These people always say that people go to higher places. They didn't do anything bad in their previous lives, so why are they fighting to be a beast? It's so hard to be a stud horse. I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out. "
Ox-Head grinned and wanted to laugh, but he held it in, "Forget it, I'm old, it's understandable that I don't know what a stud horse is, but I can't tell him this." So he changed the topic and asked, "What's wrong with the System? Do you want me to help you fix it?"
Magistrate Cui shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem this time. It's just that after starting up, the hard disk light flashed wildly for an hour before I was allowed to operate it.
Horse-Face muttered, "Our domestic Diting operating system is pretty good, why did we hire a foreign City God to design it? I heard that His Majesty King of Hell and His Majesty King of Hell Lucifer of the West are negotiating, asking them to send the original designer, Bilgaiwa, to upgrade the operating system as soon as possible."
Magistrate Cui shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. I heard that the City God has gone to the human world for a vacation. His name is not in the Book of Life and Death. Before the vacation ends, no one can find him, so we can only put up with it. By the way, didn't you guys apply for a vacation? Why are you here?"
Ox-Head laughed dryly and said, "Sir, that … that guy who doesn't want to live has died again. He has only lived for a year, but he has died nine times. You have to think of a way. You will eventually meet the King of Hell. If the King of Hell finds out about this, it will be terrible."
Magistrate Cui's face twitched when he heard that. He quickly leaned in front of the computer and typed randomly. Then, he stared at the screen with his eyes wide open and remained silent. Horse-Face could not help but become nervous. He quickly moved his donkey face closer and asked, "What's wrong? What's the situation?"
Magistrate Cui said, "There's nothing. My computer needs to be reinstalled again. There's too much rubbish in the system. This is a dying processor, it's running extremely slowly!"
Ox-Head touched his horns and did not say anything.
After waiting for a while, Magistrate Cui's face suddenly changed and became pale. If he was not still wearing the bright red official robe, Ox-Head and Horse-Face would definitely think that he was a ghost prisoner who had escaped from prison. He would have to be sent back with a set of Soul Restraining Chains.
Ox-Head was moved and said, "What's the matter, Sir? Could it be that there's so much rubbish in the system that you can't run to death?"
Magistrate Cui trembled all over. He pointed at the screen and said miserably, "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's really over, sigh! If I had known earlier, I would have reported it to the King of Hell and said that you guys violated the rules and hooked the wrong person's soul. In order to help you block this loophole, I made mistakes again and again. This is terrible! "
Horse-Face snorted and said hatefully, "What's so terrible about it? Isn't it just running back eight times a year? At most, I'll run back sixteen times in the remaining two years. I'll go all out and see who's more reliable. "
Magistrate Cui said with a sad face, "No, no. Look, including the time when you wrongly arrested him, he has died nine times in a row. Every time, he died because he did good deeds, so … so …" Magistrate Cui took a deep breath and said while gritting his teeth, "He's already a good person for nine lifetimes now."
"A good person for nine lifetimes? What does that mean? "Ox-Head asked in confusion. Magistrate Cui's words were too profound, it was really a little confusing.
Magistrate Cui trembled and said, "If we send him back to life now and he dies because he did good deeds, then he will be a good person for ten lifetimes and jump out of the cycle of life and death."
Ox-Head said in confusion, "A good person for ten lifetimes? Jump out of the cycle of life and death? What does that mean? "
Magistrate Cui slapped his thigh and said, "That means … he has become a Buddha."
Ox-Head and Horse-Face opened their mouths wide and said in disbelief, "No … right? How can it be so easy to become a Buddha? "
Magistrate Cui laughed bitterly and said, "Sometimes becoming a Buddha is also dependent on opportunity. Guanyin Bodhisattva became a Buddha on the day when Buddha preached and guided his disciples to become a Buddha. The human world happened to be in great trouble. Bodhisattva said, 'I swear not to become a Buddha until all living beings are saved!'. In the end, she missed the opportunity. Although she has great magical power and is above all the Buddhas, she can't be called a Buddha. "
Man Cang 'er could not help but put his palms together and said, "Bodhisattva has a good heart, no wonder people call her great mercy and compassion. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, 'I swear not to become a Buddha until hell is empty!'. Just like Guanyin Bodhisattva, although she has not become a Buddha, in my heart, she is a true Buddha. "
Magistrate Cui sighed and said, "Even great mercy and compassion can't save us from the trouble today. It's because the moral of the world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not what they used to be. In order to correct people's hearts, Buddha made a great vow three hundred years ago on Mount Spirited that if a mortal can persevere in doing good deeds for ten lifetimes, he will immediately become a Buddha. If he does good deeds and dies again, he will become a Buddha. Buddha has great magical power, he will definitely be able to see through the secret. By then, wouldn't he be exposed? "
Ox-Head and Horse-Face could not help but be stunned when they heard that. They said in a daze, "What … what should we do? This damned rascal, we can't bear to let him fall to pieces, so we took his soul in advance out of kindness. Who knew that the Book of Life and Death would suddenly change again? What should we do? "
Suddenly, Ox-Head rolled his eyes suspiciously and said, "That's not right, Sir. When we let him return to the world of the living by borrowing a corpse, we bribed Meng Po to not let him drink the soup in order to pay for the three years of his lifespan. Speaking of which, no matter how many times he dies, it should only be counted as one lifetime. How did it become nine lifetimes?"
Magistrate Cui sighed and said, "System loophole …"
Ox-Head and Horse-Face were stunned for a while before they said together in grief, "I hate Bilgaia!"
Magistrate Cui walked around in the main hall. After a while, he suddenly frowned and looked around sneakily. He waved his hand and summoned Ox-Head and Horse-Face to him. He twirled his moustache and laughed sinisterly, "Ahem, ahem, ahem, since Magistrate Zhang of the Samsara Temple's computer loophole can allow ghosts to travel through time, I have thought of a way. If I can think of a way to arrange for him to return to the world of the living by borrowing a corpse in ancient times, hehehe …"
Ox-Head blinked and said strangely, "So what? What if that bastard accidentally knocks on a small stone and dies while repairing a bridge or a road? Wouldn't he fulfill the promise of being a good person for ten lifetimes? "
"Hehehe …" Magistrate Cui tried his best to let out a sinister smile. "Buddha made the great wish that a good person for ten lifetimes could become a Buddha three hundred years ago. If someone reincarnated three hundred years ago, even if he died a hundred times, he would not be included in the conditions for ten lifetimes to become a Buddha. Hahaha …"
Ox-Head and Horse-Face clapped their hands and laughed sinisterly. "That's great. Sir, you are indeed wise with age. Uh … you are wise and prudent …"
