I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 4 The True and False Monkey King

"Boom!"

The moment he entered the book, Lu Wujiu was like a fish entering the sky. The strong wind whistling in his ears made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes!

He subconsciously looked at his palm.

As expected, the candle dragon that was as big as a mountain and stretched for thousands of miles did not appear. Instead, the bookworm that came into view had formed a circular white cocoon without anyone noticing.

What's worse is that he crushed the ring-shaped white cocoon, and liquid gushed out, overflowing his palm.

This scene made his pupils dilate and his heart beat wildly!
No, Zhulong was killed by him?
Then how can he get out?

Lu Wujiu felt numb, and at this moment, the liquid that filled his palms somehow seeped into his body and spread to his limbs and bones.

At the same time, his consciousness also spread out of his body, extending towards the sky, the earth, and the Emperor's Palace.

He saw the Emperor's Palace, and the ghost officials who filled the palace with anxiety;
Saw the Fengdu Archway;
I also saw the underworld, which was lurking in the mist and seemed like a bubble.

This feeling was very novel to him.

However, this was not the time to grope. He felt himself falling rapidly, and with an idea in his mind, a strong wind suddenly arose around him, supporting his figure and slowly floating down.

Under my feet, the Emperor's Hall, as exquisite as a walnut carving, gradually became larger and clearer.

Unfortunately, the completely destroyed dome destroyed its majesty, but also added a bit of solemnity and murderous atmosphere.

"Mr. Lu!"

Seeing Lu Wujiu falling from the sky, the terrified ghost messengers in the hall screamed in surprise.

Lu Wujiu slowly landed on the judge's throne in the main hall. He glanced at all the evil officials in the hall and felt extremely absurd.

This group of living ghost messengers with names, families, backgrounds and rich emotions are actually just characters in a book?

This is absolutely ridiculous!
Zhou Zhong looked at Lu Wujiu who was scanning the hall. In his bewildered state, he mustered up his courage, bowed, and asked:

"Excuse me, Mr. Lu, where did the judge go? Did he die...at the mouth of the Candle Dragon?"

Lu Wujiu said nothing and nodded slightly.

Zhou Zhong's expression darkened upon hearing this. After a while, he murmured:
"After I lost my father, the villagers all said they had dreamed that he became a judge. I've studied the sages' books since I was young, so naturally I don't believe it. But... but... I don't understand why my father, a judge, would harm me."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked towards Lu Wujiu, bowed deeply and said, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Lu."

Lu Wujiu sighed and said, "Everything in the Six Dynasties was just a private scheme. Even after death, as a judge, he was still not immune to this. The reason he killed you was just to take advantage of his power and ensure there was someone to succeed him!"

Zhou Zhong was stunned and opened his mouth, but he swallowed all the words he wanted to say, leaving only a deep melancholy.

All the ghost officials in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this, and many of them sighed with regret.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu sighed even though he knew they were just a group of characters in a book.

He sat down on the judge's throne, feeling the power he gained after absorbing the cocoon water. With a slight wave of his hand, the broken hall suddenly came alive.

Countless pieces of gravel floated up, like tired birds returning to the forest, and returned to the dome.

In just a moment, the Emperor's Palace returned to normal, leaving all the ghost officials in the palace dumbfounded.

Such means are worthy of being called divine!
Seeing this, the Soul-Catcher in the hall couldn't help but bow and ask, "Sir, your skills are divine, and your status must be high. May I know your name?"

This question was asking the doubts in the heart of the outstanding Yincha?
They watched as Mr. Lu entered the palace, and with such force and authority, the Candle Dragon fell and the Judge died. Now he neither announced his name nor his purpose, leaving them hanging here. It was really uncomfortable.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wujiu said casually: "I am the messenger of Emperor Yin. I am here to inspect the underworld and understand the people's sentiments." - The identity of the messenger of Emperor Yin is the most suitable identity he found after going through countless reincarnations.

"Your humble servant greets the envoy!"

Upon hearing this, the ghost messengers suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly bowed.

Just as he finished speaking, the voice of the usher calling out names suddenly came from outside the hall.

"The envoy of the Emperor Taiyin has arrived—"

The ghost officials were stunned and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw dozens of ghost officials carrying a flying sedan chair outside the hall. The sedan chair curtain was lifted and an old Taoist priest walked out slowly.

He raised his head and looked towards the main hall, his eyes like torches. One glance fell on Lu Wujiu, his brows furrowed, and then he came over with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, shouting loudly:

"Where is Judge Zhou?"

Upon seeing this, the Soul Catcher subconsciously glanced at Lu Wujiu. Seeing that he was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and went forward, bowing in response: "It turns out to be Angel Li. I'm sorry for not coming from such a distance to welcome you. I'm so sorry!"

The old Taoist priest raised his head and squinted at the Soul Binder:

"You recognize me?"

"Twenty years ago, Angel Li came with a message, appointing Zhou as the Judge. I was fortunate enough to witness the Emperor's face."

"You have quite a good eye! Where's Judge Zhou?"

"This... Angel Li may not know that Judge Zhou abused his power for personal gain and was devoured and killed by the Candle Dragon."

The old Taoist priest's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he asked in a stern voice: "Candle Dragon swallowed and killed? What happened? Tell me quickly."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Catcher subconsciously glanced at Lu Wujiu.

Seeing Lu Wujiu leaning lazily on the judge's throne, looking at the old Taoist priest with a disdainful look and a smile on his lips, without commenting on his behavior, he hurriedly lowered his voice and told him everything about the shocking changes in the Emperor's Palace.

After hearing this, the old Taoist couldn't help but smile.

——It turned out to be a fox that happened to borrow the power of the silverfish!
Although there are many coincidences in it, it is a cyclical story after all, and there will always be some unexpected twists and turns.

Well, for now, the most important thing is to take my pulse and see what happens. I might as well go with the flow. When Envoy Lu saw me coming, I think he had a cold look on his face. I just want him to coax me away quickly, right?
Thinking of this, the old Taoist said conceitedly:

"So it's Envoy Lu. My apologies! It's rare to see the Emperor so close. I've come here on orders from Emperor Yin to find the Candle Dragon's white cocoon. I wonder if Envoy Lu has seen it?"

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "I have never met Li Tianshi before the Emperor came. However, I have heard that a few years ago, there was a capable man beside Emperor Yin, also named Li. Unfortunately, he angered Emperor Yin and his whereabouts are unknown. I wonder if it is you, sir?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ghosts in the hall were shocked.

The soul-catching envoy took three steps back and looked at the old Taoist priest with a vigilant look.

The old Taoist priest was stunned and his face turned red.

Without waiting for his reply, Lu Wujiu shouted angrily, "Come here, capture this boy, commend his merits, and appoint him as a judge!"

His words were so powerful and forceful that they made everyone hold their breath. Suddenly, blood rushed into his eyes and he looked at the old Taoist priest with eyes full of greed and fanaticism.

The soul-catcher who was closest to the old Taoist priest suddenly pulled out a chain and swung it away.

"How brave!"

The old Taoist priest was furious. He clasped his hands together and cast a talisman to block the chains. He shouted angrily:
"I have the decree of Emperor Yin. Are you planning a rebellion?"
