Chapter 989: One of the Four Judges, Zhong Kui

This time, the Yin Marshal was even more respectful to Ye Qianxing and Erbaiwu. →

"My Lords, the First Judge invites you, please follow me."

"Let's go."

Ye Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried about whether something big would happen, but now it seems that everything is going well.

So, the two followed the Yin Marshal into the Judge's Hall.

After entering, Ye Qianxing found that the Judge's Hall was very dim, with only a few oil lamps emitting weak flames, giving people a gloomy and depressing feeling.

Every few steps, you can see the Yin guards on both sides. Those Yin guards stared at Ye Qianxing and Erbaiwu, which was a bit creepy.

If an ordinary ghost was brought in, it would probably be scared by this depressing and gloomy environment and his mind would go blank, let alone think of making up any deceptive excuses.

Not long after walking, a man wearing a purple robe, with a sturdy body, a leopard head and round eyes, who looked very ferocious, suddenly came towards them.

When the Yin General saw this person, he immediately bowed and said respectfully.

"Meet the Judge."

"Judge?"

Hearing this, Ye Qianxing couldn't help but look at this person more carefully.

Could this be the first judge Cui Fujun? It's a little different from what I imagined.

But Ye Qianxing still greeted him very politely with a fist.

"Meet Cui Fujun."

But as soon as Ye Qianxing finished speaking, the purple-robed man and Yin General were both stunned.

The purple-robed man actually showed a playful smile on his ferocious face, and Yin General was a little embarrassed, approaching Ye Qianxing and whispered.

"Sir, this is not the first judge Cui Fujun, but the judge of the Punishment Department, Lord Zhong Kui."

"There are four judges in our underworld, namely Lord Wei Zheng of the Reward Department, Lord Zhong Kui of the Punishment Department, Lord Lu Zhidao of the Investigation Department, and the first judge of the Yin Law Department, Lord Cui Jue Cui Fujun."

"Uh..."

Ye Qianxing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, mainly because he was a newcomer and had no idea that there were four judges.

However, he had heard of the name Zhong Kui. When he was on Earth, he read some classical articles and strange magazines, among which there were stories about Zhong Kui.

But he only knew that Zhong Kui was a legendary heavenly master who caught ghosts and slayed demons, but he didn't know that he was actually one of the four judges.

"Ahem, sorry, Lord Zhong Kui, I recognized the wrong person, oh no, I recognized the wrong ghost."

Ye Qianxing said embarrassedly.

It was indeed not polite to recognize the wrong person, so I apologized.

"Hahaha, it's okay, but I see that you are living people, why are you in the underworld, and even in the Judge's Hall?"

Although Judge Zhong Kui looks fierce on the outside, he still gives people a very friendly feeling when he speaks, which creates a big gap.

Before Ye Qianxing could think of a reason, the Yin Shuai spoke directly.

"Master Zhong Kui, it's like this. These two masters have the judge's pen of the first judge Cui Fujun in their hands. I asked Cui Fujun for instructions. Cui Fujun said he wanted to see them, so I brought them in."

Obviously, the Yin Shuai still has a strong desire to survive.

He was afraid that Zhong Kui would blame him for bringing people in casually, so he explained it specially.

"Cui Yu's Judge's Pen? I remember it disappeared along with the Book of Life and Death hundreds of years ago. How did it appear in your hands?"

"Could it be that his Judge's Pen was lost in the human world?"

Zhong Kui murmured in confusion.
