Chapter 173 Harmony and Governance
A long time ago, there was a man named Yin Tingqia in Guizhou who believed in the God of Earth very much.
On August [-]th of this year, as the sun had just risen, Yin Tingqia got up early, went to the Earth Temple, knelt down and bowed before the Earth God, and then got up to burn incense.
Yin Tingqia finished the incense and was about to open the door to leave when suddenly two people wearing green clothes and soap hats pushed the door open and came in.
As soon as they met, the two men in Tsinghua came up and pushed Yin Tingqia to the ground without saying a word, then put the chains in their hands around his neck and dragged him away.
Yin Tingqia didn't know what happened. When he was panicking, he saw the earth god he had just worshipped coming out to stop them and asked why Yin Tingqia was taken away.
Neither of the two men in Tsing Yi gave any explanation. One of them took out the token he carried and showed it to the land god.
The land god took a look and saw the words "Yin Tingqia" written on it.
The Earth God smiled, said nothing, and did not stop him anymore. He allowed the two men in Tsing Yi to drag Yin Tingqia away.
However, he kept walking behind Yin Tingqia.
After walking for about a mile, there was a hotel next to the road ahead. The God of Land invited two men in Tsing Yi to go in for a drink.
During this period, I found an opportunity and quietly said to Yin Tingqia: "This trip is wrong! But sir, don't worry, I will escort you all the way.
If you encounter gods and Buddhas on the way, sir, you can shout out loudly and I will save you from this disaster! "
Yin Tingqia felt a little at ease after hearing this. He nodded in agreement and stopped struggling.
After the two men in green clothes had eaten and drank enough, they continued to follow them. However, after all, they did not embarrass Yin Tingqia anymore.
After walking for about half a day, a few people came to a waterside.
Yin Tingqia looked up and saw misty waves on the water, which was vast and boundless as far as the eye could see.
Looking at his confused eyes, the man in Tsing Yi explained: "This is called the Silver Sea. We need to wait until late at night to cross. It's still early, so let's take a rest by the water."
After a while, the Earth God came over again on crutches.
The man in Tsing Yi felt very strange: "You are a god after all. It's okay to help him pay for us to drink. Why do you have to escort a mortal like him all the way?"
The Earth God said: "I have been with him for a long time, and I can't help but want to give him one more ride. However, we parted ways on the road ahead."
While they were talking, suddenly colorful clouds flew over from the sky. There was a gorgeous carriage among the clouds, with flags flying around it, and many attendants following it.
When the Earth God saw him, he quietly whispered to Yin Tingqia: "This is the return of the gods who met with the Jade Emperor. You are lucky. Now that you have met him, you can complain."
Yin Tingqia looked up, and sure enough, there was a god in the gorgeous car. But his appearance is very ferocious, his eyes are shining with golden light, and his face is more than two feet wide.
Yin Tingqia immediately shouted injustice.
When the god heard someone shouting about injustice, he immediately stopped the team and called him to the carriage and asked, "What grievance do you have?"
Yin Tingqia told how he was inexplicably taken away by the people in Tsing Yi.
The god asked: "Does the person who led you have a token?"
Yin Tingqia said: "Yes."
The god asked again: "Is your name on the token?"
Yin Tingqia replied: "Yes".
The god said displeasedly: "Since there is a token and your name, it means that it should be taken away. What grievance do you have?"
After saying that, he scolded him sharply.
Yin Tingqia was confused for a moment and didn't know what to say.
At this time, the Earth God stepped forward, knelt down and said, "There is something suspicious in this! It was the little god who asked him to complain."
The god asked: "Is there anything suspicious?"
The Earth God said: "I am the Earth God enshrined in his family! Every time someone in his family is born, Emperor Dongyue will send a document telling him what kind of person he will be, and in which year and month he will be born. If you die every day and how long you can live in the world, you will never make a mistake.
When Yin Tingqia was just born, the ultimatum sent by Emperor Dongyue stated that he should live to be seventy-two years old. Now he is not yet fifty, and I have not received any documents indicating that he has committed any crime and wants to deduct his life span, so why did he suddenly come to seize his soul? Therefore, Xiao Shen felt that there might be injustice involved. "
After hearing what the Earth God said, the immortal hesitated for a long time.
Then, he said to the Earth God: "This kind of thing is not my responsibility! But human life is very important. How can I ignore a little god like you who cares so much? It's a pity that it's too far from here to Dongyue Mansion. Well, we should send a message from heaven to get there quickly."
With that said, the god called a small official who was following him and asked him to write an ultimatum.
The god asked: "On your document, you only need to write: It is found that the soul of Yin Tingqia, a common citizen of the next generation, has been seduced for no reason and there is something fishy about it. Please send a flying talisman to Dongyue and ask Emperor Dongyue to send someone to Yinhai to investigate. .Process it quickly without delay!"
The clerk didn't shy away from Yin Tingqia at all, so he took out a piece of paper nearby to write the ultimatum.
Yin Tingqia saw that the seal was similar to the one in the human world, but the ultimatum was written on yellow paper.
After the clerk wrote the ultimatum and sealed it, he handed it over to a god wearing golden armor next to him.
The golden-armored god immediately took the documents and went to Tianmen to deliver them.
At this time, the god then summoned the Silver Sea God.
Immediately, a god in embroidered robes walked forward step by step.
The long-faced god ordered: "I order you to guard Yin Tingqia's soul and wait for the results of Emperor Dongyue's investigation. Don't make any mistakes!"
The god in embroidered robes kowtowed and took orders, then retreated with Yin Tingqia.
And the long-faced god had disappeared into the clouds.
At this time, Yin Tingqia was sitting under a big willow tree to rest, but the two men in Tsing Yi didn't know where they went.
Yin Tingqia curiously asked the Earth God: "What kind of god is that one with a face two feet wide?"
The Earth God replied: "That is the Lion King of the West!"
After a while, the man in embroidered robes said to the Earth God: "You can take Yin to a dark place to sit for a while, and don't let the night wind blow him. I will go to the front to greet the God of Heaven. When I call you, You must come out and agree immediately."
Yin Tingqia followed the God of Land and walked along the river bank. After walking about half a mile, he found a broken boat lying on its side on the river beach, so he hid in it to rest, waiting for the call of the god in embroidered robes.
Not long after, I heard people outside shouting and neighing, as well as the sound of drums and music. It took a long time to quiet down.
The Earth God said: "We can go out."
Yin Tingqia immediately walked out and saw the god in embroidered robes and the golden-armored god holding the document standing there together.
They took Yin Tingqia to an open space on the shore and said, "Wait here for a while, the people from Dongyue will be here soon."
Sure enough, a moment later, dozens of riders were seen flying over the sea.
The Earth God quickly pulled Yin Tingqia to kneel on the ground.
The dozens of riders dismounted. Among them, a god wearing a large floral robe and a gauze hat sat on the seat. There were four others wearing the clothes of minor officials, and a dozen others were all dressed as warriors. The rest They all have ferocious looks, like the ghostly faces of sculptures in temples, surrounded by attendants.
At this time, the official sitting on the seat summoned Yinhai Shen, who immediately stepped forward.
After a few questions and answers between the two parties, Yinhaishen walked down and helped Yin Tingqia to step forward again.
Before Yin Tingqia could kneel down, the Earth God came forward to kowtow and explain everything one by one.
The chief official looked very gentle, but after hearing the words of the Earth God, he became very angry. With an angry look on his face, he sternly demanded that the two men in Tsing Yi come forward to answer.
The Earth God replied: "They have been walking for a long time and I don't know where they have gone."
The chief officer said: "A monster can only run a thousand miles in one circle; a devil can only run five hundred miles in one circle! The four inspectors are listening to the order: search and arrest them immediately!"
Immediately, four ghost soldiers flew into the air.
I saw them each taking out a small mirror from their arms and looking in all directions, as if searching for the direction in which the man in Tsing Yi was escaping.
Next, they flew eastward.
Not long after, he came back with the two men in Tsing Yi sandwiched between them.
The ghost soldiers threw them to the ground and replied to the chief official: "They were caught in a dead locust tree three hundred miles away."
The first official asked the two how they could accidentally capture Yin Tingqia's soul.
The two men in Tsing Yi took out the token and presented it, arguing: "The token was given to us by our superiors. We are just servants and can only act according to the token. If anything goes wrong, we need to ask our superiors." Officials have nothing to do with us!"
The first official asked angrily: "If you weren't engaging in malpractice for personal gain, then why did you run away?"
The man in Tsing Yi was so frightened that he kowtowed and said: "Yesterday I saw the Lion King arriving, and all the gods and men among them were illuminated by Buddha's light. Although the earth god is only a small god, he still has yang energy; although Yin Tingqia is dead, he has not yet passed through the underworld. , the soul is still alive.
They can all get close to the Buddha's light of the Lion King. But we are ghosts, and our bodies are full of darkness. How can we get close to the Buddha's light?
So, we had to stay away. After the Lion King passed by, when we were pursuing him all the way, we met the saints who were going to the heaven to pay homage. They passed by one after another, so we hid and did not dare to come out. It’s not because we knew there was something wrong with the token that we wanted to run away far away! "
The chief official pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I must go to Senluo Hall to verify it myself!"
After saying that, the first official asked Hercules to take Yin Tingqia across the Silver Sea first, and then called for the carriages and horses to set up the ceremonial guard and set off.
Yin Tingqia was pinched by the Hercules under his arm and flew into the air.
Yin Tingqia felt very scared and did not dare to look down with his eyes closed. I felt the wind and thunder in my ears, and my heart was beating wildly.
After a while, the noisy sounds gradually faded away, and Hercules also slowed down his flight speed.
When Yin Tingqia opened his eyes, he found that he had landed on the ground.
Not long after he followed the gods and men forward, he saw a government office.
At this time, an official wearing a royal robe came out to greet him.
The former chief official walked in and sat face to face with the official in imperial robes at two desks.
At first, Yin Tingqia vaguely heard the two people talking quietly, and then heard the voice summoning people to come in.
Both the man in green and the earth god were summoned.
After the earth god finished his kowtow, he stood at the bottom of the steps; and after the man in green clothes finished answering, he also stood up and walked out.
At this time, some ghost soldiers brought out a tied official from the side room.
The officials in the hall asked sharply.
The clerk kept kowtowing and defending, as if waiting for someone to come and confront him.
Several ghost soldiers brought out an official from the side room, holding the file in his hand, and entered the lobby.
Yin Tingqia looked from a distance and saw that the man seemed to be his uncle Yin Xin from the same clan.
When he entered the main hall, officials in imperial uniforms began to take the book in his hand and look at it.
After a while, the official in imperial uniform dropped a book and ordered the junior official who came in earlier to take it and show it to the junior official who came in behind.
The latter just kowtowed and begged.
I heard the god in the hall shout loudly: "Stand!"
Several ghost officers immediately pulled the clerk who had been brought in to the foot of the steps and gave him forty strokes with their canes.
Immediately afterwards, I saw several ghost officers taking Zhu's official documents and walking down the stairs. They stripped off the official uniforms of the arrested officials behind them, locked them with iron chains, and escorted them out.
When he passed by Yin Tingqia, he realized that the man was his uncle Yin Xin.
Yin Tingqia greeted him, but he didn't respond.
Yin Tingqia had no choice but to ask the ghost officer, where were they being taken?
The ghost messenger replied: "Take him to the Fiery Hell to atone for your sins."
Just when Yin Tingqia was feeling frightened and frightened, a voice calling him came from the hall.
Yin Tingqia walked into the palace, and the official in the colorful robe said: "Now your case has been found out. The person the underworld wants to seduce is actually 'Yin Tingzhi', and that petty official did not engage in malpractice for personal gain.
But among his colleagues there was a man named Yin, who was Yin Tingzhi's uncle. Yin wanted to save his nephew, and knowing that your name was similar to that of Yin Tingzhi among the same clan, he could get away with it.
So when the little official was away, he changed the word "zhi" on the token to the word "match", and then exchanged the documents between the two of you, which led to the mistake of issuing the token. Now that they have punished the sin according to the law, you can also return the favor! "
After saying that, the flower-robed official looked back at the Earth God and said: "You did a good job! However, you only need to come to our department for detailed investigation on this kind of matter. There is no need to block the road and complain to the Lion King, so that we all Being punished for negligence.
Now, while our company is re-preparing the copy, we are sending ghost messengers to capture our prisoner Yin Tingzhi. Can you quickly take Yin Tingqia back to the Yangtze? "
The Earth God and Yin Tingqia bowed their thanks and came out.
Outside the main hall, they met the golden-armored god from before. He greeted them at the door and congratulated them: "Congratulations!"
Yin Tingqia was very surprised: "Didn't you return to the Lion King?"
The Golden Armored God said: "We still need to wait for the reply before we can go back!"
After saying goodbye, Yin Tingqia walked behind the Earth God.
He discovered that the path he took now was not the same as before. This city was no different from the human world.
Yin Tingqia felt hungry and wanted to eat, but the land god wouldn't allow him. He felt thirsty and wanted to drink water, but he still wouldn't let him!
The two men walked a few more miles outside the city and climbed a high mountain. Looking down, they found a man lying stiff and several people standing beside him crying.
Yin Tingqia asked the Earth God curiously: "Where is this?"
The Earth God shouted loudly: "Aren't you awake yet?"
After saying that, he hit him with the crutch in his hand.
Yin Tingqia was knocked to the ground and woke up after being startled.
He was surprised to find that his wife, children and family members were all crying around him.
After asking, I found out that he had been dead for two days and nights.
The family had prepared the coffin, but they found that his heart was still a little warm and felt that he was not completely dead. They held on to the hope that he might be resurrected, so they never put him to the coffin.
Yin Tingqia secretly rejoiced, patted his chest and sat up.
After drinking some tea and eating something, he asked his son to visit Yin Tingzhi's house.
The son came back and said that Yin Tingzhi was ill at first, but then he recovered for two days. But he had another attack just now and died immediately!
