Ever since King Jizo Bodhisattva made the vow that "hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha", he has become the ruler of the underworld.

Xie Fei is the current ruler of the underworld, the king of Jizo.

In the tens of thousands of years since he became the King of Jizo, Xie Fei has been in retreat and cultivation in Yuncui Palace. Except for important matters that need to be reported to him, other things in the underworld are handed over to Houtu and Judge Cui to take care of on their behalf, and the ten halls of Yama perform their duties.

All along, the underground government has been running in an orderly manner.

But I don't know when it began, the Ten Palaces Yama found that the ghosts who came to the underworld were not quite right, and these ghosts were extremely resentful, unwilling to drink Meng Po soup, unwilling to cross the Nai He Bridge, and even stirred up the evil ghosts and evil ghosts suppressed in hell to become restless.

After all, resentment is an excellent nourishment for these powerful ghosts and evil ghosts.

Ten Hall Yama frowned, realizing that this matter was not quite right, and hurriedly reported it to Lord Houtu, and after investigating the Houtu Judge, he found that the situation was very serious, so he notified Xie Fei and interrupted his retreat cultivation.

Xie Fei walked out wearing a black and gold robe, a gold silk belt tied around his waist, and black hair draped behind him.

Houtu was wearing a golden costume and blessed his body slightly, and Judge Cui bowed his hand respectfully and said, "I have seen Lord Jizo." 

Xie Fei nodded, his eyebrows indifferent, and said, "What's the matter?" "

Houtu had a beautiful face and a clear voice: "Ten halls of Yama reported that the ghosts who have come recently have deep resentment and obsession, and after Judge Cui investigated, he found that these people may have suffered some kind of blow before they died, so they formed a powerful ghost, and if they are not properly handled, they are likely to turn into powerful ghosts." 

"Hmm." Xie Fei pursed the corners of his lips, and his handsome face looked a little cold.

"Jizo King." Judge Cui looked at Xie Fei, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously, "These powerful souls are no longer suitable for entering the six realms of reincarnation, and now they only have two choices, either they gather resentment and become powerful ghosts, or they guard their grievances in the underworld and become wandering spirits." 

Xie Fei's slender hands gently tapped on the armrests of the chair, a pair of peach blossom eyes rolled in his eyes, and only after a long time did he open his lips and say, "Didn't they say that they had grievances?" 

Judge Cui nodded, looking at Xie Fei with some confusion.

"Then let them take away their grievances at the cost of their souls." Xie Fei thought about it and said lightly.

Hearing this, Houtu's frowning eyebrows slowly loosened, she lifted her sleeve robe, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the king of Jizo, sister admires it very much." 

Xie Fei nodded, his eyebrows were indifferent, and he seemed to have never heard of Houtu's teasing, and Houtu seemed to be accustomed to it, and he didn't care too much about Xie Fei's movements.

After settling the matter, Xie Fei got up and was about to leave, but Judge Cui hurriedly said, "Lord Jizo King, I don't know who is more appropriate for this person to send to dispel grievances?" 

"Who is more idle in the underworld now?" Xie Fei sat back in his chair, leaning back lazily, his elbow on the armrest to prop up his chin, and asked in a lazy voice.

Judge Cui waved his robe, and an all-black booklet appeared in his hand, with three gilt characters on the book, and then he raised the judge's pen in his right hand and lightly clicked on the cover, and the booklet was automatically flipped through. 

"Oh?" Xie Fei also glanced at Houtu in some surprise, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Then Houtu—"

"King Jizo, according to my sister, it's more appropriate for you to go." Hou Tu glanced at Xie Fei and interrupted him with a giggle.

"Why?" Xie Fei looked at Hou Tudao.

"When you were the former king of Jizo, did you retreat and cultivate to Dacheng? You have been in the underworld for tens of thousands of years, if you don't travel to the mountains and rivers and see the human world, how can you have the courage to make a promise that 'hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha', and how can you see through everything in the world and achieve success?" Houtu pursed the corners of his lips and said quietly.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Fei said lightly: "What you said is good. "

"Then it's decided." Houtu waved his hand at Judge Cui domineeringly, and said in a good mood, "Xiao Cui, you let people build a cave by the Netherworld Bridge at the entrance of the underworld, it's called-"

Hou Tu raised his head slightly and thought for a moment, then hooked the corners of his lips and smiled: "It's called 'Soul Pawnshop'! Let the bull head and horse face send the powerful spirits in the underworld over first, and then inform the black and white impermanence, and if there are such ghosts in the future, they will also be brought there. "

"Yes, Houtu-sama." Judge Cui glanced at Xie Fei, who was not objecting, and nodded, as good as a stream.

Since then, there is a cave on the side of the netherworld bridge leading to the underworld, and the owner of this cave is a handsome young man with a cold temperament, if there is a "love parting, resentment for a long time, can't ask for, can't let go" things can go here to trade.

The price of the deal is – the soul.

It's for, soul pawnshop.
