Chapter 41 A Punch

The Song Emperor King City was just a small interlude.

Faced with the actions of the Song Emperor King’s dharma body,

Zhou Ze was only slightly stunned.

Back when he first caused a ruckus in hell,

Ying Gou had witnessed the scene of those Yama kings putting their hands together and bowing to the Bodhisattva,

and felt that the current rulers of hell were really second-rate, actually living so pathetically.

Now this scene,

maybe it’s a different perspective,

after all, this time the pathetic one was himself,

Ying Gou wasn't angry,

he even thought this one was a little cute.

Nodding at the dharma body,

Zhou Ze's figure directly disappeared,

continuing to chase after that King Chujiang.

The process of chasing was like training a hawk,

King Chujiang's speed, exchanged for burning his origin,

definitely couldn't last too long,

either he would be caught and kicked to collapse,

or he would collapse on his own while running,

it was actually a contest of patience and endurance,

it was just a one-sided contest.

An old mountain ginseng, in exchange for a Yama king, was more than enough, and very much so.

Maybe he could even leave a lot for his doorkeeper to take home, and let that little python's human incarnation make a chicken stew with ginseng.

"Wouldn't that be too nourishing?"

Very obviously,

Ying Gou's "inner monologue" was acquired by Boss Zhou.

Whoever was on the outside had no secrets,

usually, when Ying Gou was inside, Zhou Ze didn't know what he was thinking; but Zhou Ze's thinking, Ying Gou completely understood.

Now the positions were reversed,

Boss Zhou was also experiencing the feeling of "being a worm in your stomach".

But he had to grasp the degree,

madly probing in the area between Ying Gou's anger and Ying Gou's suicide.

But to be honest,

maybe in this world, only someone like Ying Gou could compress a dragon vein into an old mountain ginseng, like a crisp radish,

chewing on dragon veins when thirsty and tired.

The others, at least those in the bookstore, if they really used this to make soup, who would dare to drink it?

Ying Gou ignored Zhou Ze's blabbering,

continuing to maintain a suitable distance from King Chujiang.

And after Boss Zhou put down the suggestion of "unable to receive nourishment when weak,"

he thought of another question,

and this question was very important,

he said,

"After this time, will he still go through Naihe Bridge?"

Ying Gou didn't answer,

most importantly,

he had no thoughts in his heart.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

Ignoring,

ignoring,

ignoring verbally,

and ignoring in his heart.

So, sometimes being a "worm" wasn't so good, it was too easy to "get hurt".

"Still going through Naihe Bridge?"

Still ignoring, ignoring...

"Could it be that you miss her?"

Still ignoring, ignoring...

"Hey, let's not keep this dragon vein, just eat it when you need to."

"Wh… at…"

There was a response.

"I'm afraid you'll be forced to walk the Naihe Bridge again, and then you'll have to go back to sleep."

Silence…

"Okay."

…………

The scenery of hell had never been good, in fact, even the most beautiful scenery would get boring if you looked at it all the time.

It was like even people who lived in Dali and Lijiang would think about going to other places for vacation when they had nothing to do.

The essence of travel was nothing more than going from a place you were tired of to a place that others were already tired of.

All the way chasing,

the scenery that caught the eye was still similar.

It wasn't that they hadn't passed through the areas where other Yama kings' halls were located,

but King Chujiang didn't make any stops.

Even Zhou Ze could see that the other party seemed to be hesitating.

If there was a large map of hell, you could clearly see King Chujiang's escape route, which was a u-shape.

After circling a big circle, he began to head in one direction.

The coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world, you don't really feel much when you see this kind of feeling in the news, newspapers, or things that happen to others, only when it falls on you can you experience this bitterness.

Ahead,

a basin appeared.

In the center of the basin, there was a building similar to a Taoist temple.

White walls and blue tiles, clean and tidy.

Zhou Ze had been here before, he finally came here when chasing down the Ten Attendants, and forced one of the attendants to commit suicide here.

It was just,

King Chujiang didn't ask them for help,

but continued to fly east.

Zhou Ze followed behind, passing over from above.

And at this time below,

in a not-so-large hall,

nine futons were arranged in a circle, each with an attendant sitting on it.

Their era hadn't started yet, it wasn't their time to take the stage.

Even Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha had admitted that he had been a little too hasty when he let the Ten Attendants come out to take action.

People at their level seemed to like to link everything to karma and the general trend.

But one thing was certain, in the past year and a half, the Ten Attendants had not left this basin a single step.

They were waiting, waiting for their era.

Even though King Chujiang and Zhou Ze flew past one after another above,

these nine people,

didn't even bother to open their eyes,

this was complete indifference and disregard.

Unless Ying Gou went down again to deliberately cause trouble for them,

they could maintain this posture and "hibernate", waiting to be awakened.

"I remember, you died under ten fingers, do they have anything to do with it?"

Zhou Ze asked in his heart.

Ying Gou didn't answer.

This time, it wasn't deliberately ignoring him, it was probably because he felt that it was useless to tell his doorkeeper about these things.

It was like a programmer excitedly sharing the fun of writing code with his girlfriend.

Boss Zhou remembered that he had once "personally witnessed" the scene of Ying Gou's fall,

in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood,

the sky,

was torn open by a pair of huge hands,

and then crushed towards Ying Gou below.

Since Ying Gou didn't answer, and Ying Gou didn't intend to go down and cause trouble for the Ten Attendants, Boss Zhou didn't ask anymore.

He was actually only interested in the one-acre, three-point land of the bookstore, he didn't have much interest in the external changes, the rise and fall of dynasties, or the cycle of yin and yang.

Sitting in the sofa by the window of the bookstore,

holding coffee in his hand,

whether there were densely packed hurrying pedestrians outside the glass, or densely packed zombies, or ten thousand ghosts traveling,

to Boss Zhou,

there was no essential difference,

it was more interesting to think about whether to add another sugar to the coffee.

Finally,

Mount Tai in the east,

had already appeared in Zhou Ze's field of vision.

Once upon a time,

this should have been the home of the old Taoist priest, right?

This prodigal son, such a large foundation, he actually squandered it like this.

However,

after circling a large u,

King Chujiang finally chose this place,

he didn't know why he was hesitating before,

maybe now he was really at the end of his rope, so he chose to come here.

"I think Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha is really pretentious, he's the kind of person you really want to punch in real life."

Boss Zhou continued to blabber in his heart,

then,

still didn't get a response.

Very obviously,

it's a bit unrealistic to want Ying Gou to sit with you on the wall and talk bad about others.

…………

On Mount Tai,

the small temple was still there,

there was no smoke from cooking,

but many plants were planted in front of the small temple,

at this time,

a man wearing a mask on his face was watering the flowers there.

Not far away,

two figures were getting closer and closer, but he seemed to be completely unaware.

King Chujiang arrived,

he stopped above Mount Tai.

However, when he began to descend, no matter how he descended, he maintained the same distance from the top of Mount Tai.

The formation of Mount Tai had been activated, and was refusing his arrival.

King Chujiang laughed,

he laughed very freely.

Below,

the man watering the flowers was still watering the flowers seriously.

…………

"He's here again."

The boy carrying the mop sat on a rock, holding a Yin Gathering Fruit in his hand and gnawing on it.

The boy swayed his legs,

and said,

"By the way, you told the Yama King to find the dragon vein because you had already heard it, right?"

"Boom!"

A high mountain began to move,

but it didn't rise up,

it just made a muffled sound:

"Heard it."

The boy licked his lips.

He said:

"You already know that person's location?"

Diting was silent for a moment,

"I heard it."

"Master is really amazing, there is nothing in this world that Master can't hear, it really makes this kid..."

"But I... don't know what I heard."

"..." The boy.

I heard it,

but I don't know what I heard.

I just know that he will have an accident if he goes there,

but I don't know exactly who will cause him to have an accident.

Diting didn't expect,

that the man who came to hell a year and a half ago and kicked his majestic back into a dent would be drawn to hell again.

Fortunately,

the Bodhisattva didn't care this time.

"Why doesn't the Bodhisattva save the Yama King?"

The boy asked.

"The Bodhisattva... wants to speed up the coming of that day."

"Huh?" The boy didn't quite understand, but he still nodded in an ignorant but awesome way.

"The Bodhisattva wants to... cut the Gordian knot."

The boy continued to nod, feeling that it was so profound.

"It's just... this knife... seems a little too fast."

A fast knife is easy to hurt people, and also easy to hurt yourself.

…………

King Chujiang came,

King Chujiang left again,

because of his stay here,

the distance between him and Zhou Ze was shortened a lot.

So he burned more of his origin and continued to run east,

but Zhou Ze stopped on Mount Tai.

The man watering the flowers was still watering the flowers.

On Zhou Ze's body,

appeared ancient runes,

these runes seemed to travel through the distance of time and space, all the way down, down, and down again...

Finally,

Zhou Ze's body still remained above,

but in the flower garden below,

appeared a phantom of Zhou Ze.

He stood in front of the masked Bodhisattva,

the Bodhisattva put down the watering can in his hand,

because he was wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

He reached out,

and pointed to the east,

"He went that way."

Zhou Ze nodded, indicating that he knew.

Seeing that he wasn't leaving, the Bodhisattva

asked with some doubts:

"Aren't you going to chase him?"

"No... rush..."

The Bodhisattva raised his head and looked to the east, saying:

"The distance that was finally shortened is going to be pulled back again."

"No... rush..."

Two identical answers.

The Bodhisattva straightened his body,

and asked:

"Do you have something to do with me?"

Clearly the true master of hell, clearly one of his Yama kings was being chased,

he could still ask so calmly, "What do you need?"

Zhou Ze nodded.

The Bodhisattva seemed a little surprised,

and continued to ask:

"What is it?"

Zhou Ze didn't answer, he just raised his fist,

then,

he smashed it over.

"Bang!"

The Bodhisattva was punched off the top of Mount Tai, all the way down, down, and down...

Below, the figure gathered by the runes dissipated.

Zhou Ze began to fly east again, he was going to chase King Chujiang.

Actually,

I don't have anything else to do with you,

I just,

wanted to give you a punch.
