Chapter 19
That night, I chatted with Empress Huang He on the ancient altar for a long time, and finally let me know her background.From now on, I no longer call her Empress Huanghe, but start calling her by her first name, 姽萧.

First of all, Yanhua told me that she was from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

I only knew that she was a woman from the old society before, but I never thought that she was so old. Counting the time, the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was more than 400 years ago.

More than 400 years ago, there was a small village called Linjiazhai here, the birthplace of Yuhua.

One year, the Yellow River flooded, and the witch in the village said that it was the King of the Yellow River who was getting married.

Hearing that the village was going to choose the Empress of the Yellow River, Yuhua was so frightened that she died.

The Lin family village is very small and poor. Every year, the township tax collection does not pay enough tax, and they have been bullied by people from other villages in the village. This time, the election of the Empress of the Yellow River will definitely have to come from the Lin family village.

Although there are more than one girl in the village who has not left the court, she is the only one who can sing ditties.

When she was a child, she grew up in her grandfather's troupe. She followed Hua Dan's singing skills, and she also practiced Dao Ma Dan's riding a horse.Not only can she sing ditties, but she is also good at playing flower guns.

Originally, her grandfather wanted to train her as a pillar, but it was a pity that the troupe was disbanded in the time of famine, and not long after her grandfather passed away, she returned to Linjiazhai.

Later, Yuhua was indeed selected as the Empress of the Yellow River, and at first she thought about running away, but if she escaped, her parents, siblings and younger siblings would be arrested and convicted by the squire.

That year, Yanhua was 16 years old, biting her arm and crying all night...

Although more than 400 years have passed, she still has endless sadness on her face when she says these things.

We all know that after the death of Empress Huang He, the grievances will not dissipate, so they will make evil around the ancient altar, but no one has ever known where their grievances come from.

What they hate is not their miserable life experience, but when they were tied to the ancient altar and brushed tung oil naked, what they faced was not gratitude and sympathy, but pairs of eyes full of expectation, excitement and desire.

In the end, Yuhua told me a truth that made me extremely speechless. This truth is only known to the Empress Huang He who died in the sinking of her body.

The King of the Yellow River has a god in his body, and he has never married a mortal as his wife.

In other words, the so-called human sacrifice was a deception from beginning to end.

Hearing this, I feel sad from the bottom of my heart for the women of the Yellow River in history, and even more saddened by the viciousness of people's hearts.

The reason why He Bo's marriage lasted for a long time in history is not only because the people in power wanted to meet their own ruling needs, but also because the event itself was a visual feast that could fully satisfy the dark side of people's psychology.

Appreciate the helpless girl, weeping and weeping on the altar like a lamb to be slaughtered... And this is the reason why the Yellow River Empress can live in the Yellow River forever, and the way of heaven is not involved.

It's no wonder Huixiang would say that people know that ghosts are scary, and ghosts know that people are poisonous. The most terrifying thing in this world has never been ghosts and monsters.

I didn't ask her any questions that night, such as the great changes in the Nine Dragon Cave, the death of the Yellow River King, the things behind the nine dragons, the Taoist priests, the karma of the Bai family, etc.

Even if she can't answer all these questions that linger in my mind, she can definitely solve some of the mysteries for me.

But I didn't ask her. I will have time to ask these questions after I get married with her.This night, I only listened to her telling the past, telling her 400 years of loneliness and sorrow in one night...

Merman's tears are the most yin thing in the day after tomorrow, and it will take at least seven days to absorb and refine them all with the way of the Empress of the Yellow River.

So I didn't take her home that night, and bid farewell to her at the ancient altar when it was almost dawn.

It was still gray when I hurried home, and there was no one on the streets of the village.

But when I entered the alley, I found a person standing in front of my house.

This man was dressed in black and a bamboo hat, standing straight, like a nail stuck under the gate of my house.

As I got closer, I finally saw who he was, the sneaky guy I met yesterday at the paper-making shop.

I was panicked, but more curious than fearful.

Li Gui, I have seen Hui Xiang, Zombie, I have seen Xie Guangcai, not to mention I just broke up with Empress Huang He, so I walked over boldly.

"People are humane, ghosts have ghosts, you shouldn't be here." I said loudly without fear.

"You think I'm sneaky?" The man's voice was hoarse and deep, but full of courage.

"Don't you?" I asked.

"I'm a man of the underworld."

Hearing that he claimed to be a member of the Yin Division, I suddenly remembered that the Yin Division was about to intervene in the waters of the Yellow River.Could it be that he came to me because of Yuhua?

But it shouldn't be, the existence of the Empress of the Yellow River is even tacitly approved by the Dao of Heaven, and besides, the Order of the Yellow River is not in her hands.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"To find you." The man in black said.

"Find me?"

"I know you are Bai Hechou's apprentice, and I want you to give him a message. You can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day. He borrowed something from me back then, and he must give it to me before the next Yuan Festival this year. return."

"What's your name, and how do I tell him?" I asked.

"You don't need to know my name, you just need to tell Bai Hechou that it was the Yangyang judge who came to look for him."

Patrol judge?

What kind of official position is this? I only heard that there are four judges in the Yin Division, namely: Wei Zheng, the division of rewards, Zhong Kui, the division of punishment, Lu Zhidao, the division of investigation, and Cui Yu, the division of Yin law.

This is really the first time I heard of this Xunyang judge, but I didn't ask any more questions, I just said that I agreed to spread the word for him.

Seeing that I agreed to this matter, the man turned around and left.

When he walked about seven or eight steps away, he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Did you salvage Huixiang's bones?"

Hearing that he suddenly mentioned Huixiang, I was also taken aback.I thought to myself, isn't Huixiang's matter over yet?
"I salvaged it, what happened?" I asked.

"I heard her mention you when she tried her case in the City of Death."

After saying this nonsense, he strode away again, this time without looking back.

Originally, I stayed up all night, thinking of going home to catch up on a good night's sleep, but the appearance of the man in black and his words made me no longer sleepy, so I quickly took out my mobile phone and dialed the number of Bai Laogui.

When Bai Laogui left, he told me not to contact him unless it was a matter of life and death.Although it's not a matter of life and death right now, if I don't ask clearly, I'm afraid I will suffocate myself.

The phone only rang once and connected.

"Xie Lan, what happened?" Bai Laogui asked me nervously.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but I feel very kind to hear his voice again, especially his concerned tone, which moved me very much.

But now is not the time to reminisce about the old days with him, so I immediately told him the complete words of the man in black.

"Wan Duzi, I went out this time to avoid his limelight. I didn't expect him to find you. This is troublesome." Bai Laogui said.

"Uncle Bai, didn't you say that you went out to avoid Guanzhu Chen?"

"Hey, just the old cow's nose is worthy? The Taoist priest is amazingly talented, he is definitely a genius born in the Taoist sect. This old cow's nose has just lived a lot of time in vain. He is an idiot, and he can't even be ranked in the Tianshi Mansion."

"...Okay, Uncle Bai, then tell me about the origin of this Infernal Patrol Judge? What did you take from him back then?"

"Hey, it's a long story. You must know by now that you were born by stealing your life? His matter is related to your life stealing."

It's Bai Laogui's usual practice to only talk half-talked. He asked me not to ask now, but to talk to me after he comes back.

When he hung up the phone at the end, he specifically told me to put aside my marriage with Yuhua first, and never engage in yin and yang matches under the eyes of the Xunyang judge.

I asked him why, and he said that what the magistrate inspected during his rounds was the laws of heaven and human relations, and that my marriage with the Empress Huang He violated the taboo of the yang and the law of the underworld.

It will be very troublesome for him to find out, otherwise we will both catch him and take him to the city of death.

This phone call made me extremely depressed. Not only did it not solve my doubts, but it made me even more confused.

How come it has something to do with my life stealing again?

Ever since I found out about Empress Huang He's life experience, I only wanted to marry her home as soon as possible and love her well.Unexpectedly, good things will last forever, and another judge who patrolled the sun came out on the way.
