Chapter 920: You Talk to Me About Law, I Find It Funny
"The territory of Zhigu, all rules depend on those two rivers that connect the north and south."
"In recent years, there has been a port at home and abroad. The Cao Gang has many people and great power. Both the north and south Wei and Lu gangs have more than 50,000 people, which is related to the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people on the canal. That is a force that even the Emperor dare not move easily..."
"However, the red ship on the canal has been making too much noise in the past two days. The Cao Gang is busy dealing with the Red Building Ghost Ship, and is asking for experts from all walks of life to intercept the ghost ship that has killed hundreds of people in the past two days, so I'm afraid they don't have the heart to tangle with us!"
The crow essentially treated Brother Qian Chen's goal as his own career, standing respectfully under Brother Qian Chen, reporting.
Brother Qian Chen nodded: "The Bai Lian Sect can accomplish things. It is worthy of being the largest sect in the north. Just one branch of the Red Lantern Shine under the Bai Lian Saintess is enough to suppress half of Dagu Port and not dare to lift its head, much stronger than you trash!"
The crow didn't dare to refute. After all, the Bai Lian Sect has been rebelling for thousands of years and is the largest sect in the north.
The Pao Ge Association of Chuanyun, the Hong Sect of the two Guangs and two Mins, the sects and sword guests of the Northwest, the horse teams and merchant gangs of Yanyun, the Nianzi of the Zhang Huai River north and south, and the Bai Lian Sect of Qilu.
They can be counted as party associations that have taken root deeply in various places, and even the imperial court dare not underestimate them.
The crow continued: "The Jianghu of Dagu Port, besides the canal, is idlers. Because there are as many shops in Dagu Port as there are hairs on a cow, there are also many idlers who can be raised. The Jianghu people in the north, even if they can't take root here, have to pass through here twice to earn some money. The idlers and hooligans in the city and countryside, and the Jianghu people coming and going, if there are no rules, they would have turned the sky upside down!"
"Therefore, this place is also the most particular about rules!"
"The rules on the official side are nothing more than imperial laws, which are for ordinary people and to scare country bumpkins."
"The rules inside are very complicated. The martial arts line has the rules of the martial arts line. Those who come here to open a martial arts school must fight sixteen families. How to fight and how to fight have rules. You must satisfy the faces of the Jianghu colleagues and show your own skills to gain a foothold here. Otherwise, you will offend everyone, and no matter how great your skills are, you won't be able to stand. Even if a land immortal comes, he won't be able to accept apprentices!"
Brother Qian Chen nodded: "If you want to eat here, you have to follow their rules?"
The crow hesitated slightly, and then said: "People in the line must follow their rules. If you don't eat in this line, their rules are useless..."
"I rely on my skills to eat, and I have to follow his rules! Then wouldn't I be a beggar?"
Brother Qian Chen sat cross-legged on the altar, holding his right leg, and said: "These rules can't control us, next!"
The crow continued: "The next one is the rules between Jianghu people, filing a lawsuit..."
"Filing a lawsuit? Does the government office dare to accept our complaint?"
Brother Qian Chen smiled. The Bai Lian Sect is a force that clearly wants to rebel.
Our Profound Truth Sect has even greater ambitions, wanting to reshape heaven and earth and save the world. Do we still need government approval?
I haven't seen how much the practitioners of Dagu Port respect the imperial court!
"So, this lawsuit cannot be filed to people, it must be judged by ghosts and gods..."
The crow was a member of the sect, and he knew the twists and turns behind this.
"Dagu Port has a whole set of names, starting from finding a Daoist priest to approve the disaster list, asking a scribe to write a complaint, finding a Yin person to go to the underworld, then submitting a big complaint, and finally both sides show their cards and reason before the ghosts and gods according to the Yin Mountain Law."
"Finally, it is judged by the 'Ghost God Judge', and each side is deducted from their life and longevity, and their blessings and energy are added."
"This judgment has ghosts and gods watching, no one dares to cheat, this is one of the Jianghu rules of Dagu Port, the Ghost Lawsuit!"
"One of them! Are there others?" Brother Qian Chen was interested.
"Ghost Lawsuit, Great Dharma Assembly, and Fighting, these are the three rules of Dagu Port that can control us."
The crow said honestly: "The doorway of the Ghost Lawsuit lies in choosing a judge. There are many strange immortals and gods in Dagu Port. We naturally cannot violate the judgment of ghosts and gods, but finding bigger ghosts and gods can overturn the case. So how to choose a judge is a doorway..."
Brother Qian Chen understood: "You cannot violate ghosts and gods, but you can use ghosts and gods."
"After so many years, which gods are useful, which gods have a bright face, you should be clear! And each ghost and god has its own tendencies. Grasping their temperaments can naturally get the desired results. Tell me! What are the doorways in this?"
The crow smiled awkwardly: "The doorway of ghosts and gods is the unique skill of major lawyers, attorneys, and scribes. How could I know."
Seeing Brother Qian Chen's expression was strange, he hurriedly said: "But I know that there are six ghosts and gods in Dagu Port whose cases no one can overturn. They are not comparable to ordinary small immortals and gods! Before they speak, what others say doesn't count! So, real old Jianghu people will only go to these six places to file a lawsuit."
"The first one is the Tianhou Mother of Tianhou Palace!"
"She is the only Tai Sui who has overturned cases judged by other five ghosts and gods. But she generally doesn't pay attention to cases judged by other ghosts and gods. Submitting a complaint to her is even more difficult. It is said that you have to sink into the Sancha River... How to submit a complaint, only the priests of Tianhou Palace know, and ordinary Yin-walking people cannot see her."
Brother Qian Chen understood, Creation Cauldron!
The cases she set, besides herself, who can overturn them?
Even myself, the creator, don't I have to give her some face?
"Then there is the Chaoyin Tathagata at the port. He rarely judges cases, mostly at the request of fishermen, and then he will give a golden approval."
Brother Qian Chen nodded slightly. It's good that the Lotus and Bodhi Tree rarely judge cases!
If he judges too much, I'm afraid he will be dragged into the water...
"Besides these two, the remaining four are a bit evil!"
"They are the White Bone Mother, the Nine River Dragon King, the Black Sky Moth Mother, and the Savior Venerable..."
"The White Bone Mother of the Great Righteous Villa's White Bone Tower was originally an righteous villa that collected the bones of passing travelers and merchants. Because the land was narrow and crowded, a seven-story bone tower was built to worship the bones."
"I don't know when, a White Bone Bodhisattva was worshipped in the bone tower. At first, everyone thought it was an evil god, but after judging a few cases, no ghost or god could overturn it, and everyone knew that it was a ruthless character!"
The Si Chen of Winter is shaping the subordinate god...
"And the Nine River Dragon King!"
The crow said solemnly: "It was originally the incarnation of the Jiuhe. In legend, it is the fifth-ranked Dragon King. The Dragon King's judgment was very popular in the past. Later, a person he judged to death was overturned by the Tianhou Mother. The Nine River Dragon King gradually became quiet. Everyone said it was suppressed by the Tianhou Mother!"
The beast bumped into the Cauldron's face and was cleaned up. What's strange about that?
Even if the Great Sun Golden Bell takes action itself, it's not enough for the Creation Cauldron to beat it up...
Brother Qian Chen was clear about the twists and turns behind this.
"The next one is the most evil, a dead end of life and death, and only then will they ask her to judge the case. The loser will die, and the winner will also... This god is a kind of big black moth that only exists in the old graves and coffins in the temple in the woods outside the city. It has a ghost face on its back and is called the Black Sky Moth Mother!"
Moth!
Brother Qian Chen understood.
"Finally, there is the so-called Savior worshipped in the church to the left of Wanghai Tower... When the port was first opened, the foreigners were arrogant, and insisted on following their rules, and asked the Savior to judge the case in the church! Later, someone set a trap and asked the Tianhou Mother to overturn his case, and the foreigners shrank their heads again! Hey... thanks to letting them know who is the big king!"
Little Ye doesn't understand the rules! He provoked the old woman of Creation, and didn't think about whether she was easy to provoke?
You Lamp Father can't afford to provoke her...
"So you think they will definitely file a lawsuit?"
Brother Qian Chen knew what the crow wanted to imply.
"Jianghu rules, after all! If the rules don't work, it's naturally a mess in the world. Although our Profound Truth Sect is not afraid of the mess, it's not good for us to mess up too early."
The crow said sincerely: "So please Sect Master, prepare early!"
"It's okay, we have someone above, let Tianhou judge this case, they can't get any benefit."
Brother Qian Chen hesitated slightly: "Of course, it's best not to let Tianhou judge the case! Among the six ghosts and gods, there are not many we can't afford to provoke. In this way, we prepare several means, so that they can't write a complaint, and even if they write it, they can't send it out, intercept their Yin complaint, and judge it in this Luomiao. Everyone above is our own people, we can't suffer losses!"
The crow looked at the Creation Three Creations worshipped in the Luomiao—Sect Master! Grandfather! These three are not our own people!
These three are selfless, they are not human at all!
I haven't heard that the Creation Three Creations care about these...
The crow said cautiously: "Sect Master, I mean we prepare in advance. There are many strange people in Dagu Port. There are four strange people who judge Yin cases, one is called Liu Liu Daoyuan who lives in the funeral, good at writing complaints, known as a pen and a knife, black paper and
"The other is called 'Yin-Yang Twister' Fang Fang Tangjing, a southerner skilled in glib debate and eulogies for ghosts and gods; he is the second most eloquent person in the business."
"The third is called 'Black and White Inverter' Cao Cao Zhitian, from Jiangzhe, who is well-versed in the Yin Laws. He knows many secrets regarding the more than twenty ghosts and gods who can litigate at Dagukou, even knowing the true forms of some, and can even force ghosts and gods to invert black and white in their judgments."
"The fourth is a foreign devil named Drummond, a man of empty reputation who won much from the Savior. Later, he also studied our Yin Laws and has some slight attainments! However, his claim that Yin Laws are merely lower laws, and that there are other laws of the Spirit Realm—with the will of the Sichen acting in the higher realms—which he calls 'Spirit Laws,' and that Spirit Laws are greater than Yin Laws, is somewhat interesting. Relying on this theory, he once overturned a case at the Tianhou Palace. This man advocates that the body has no dual laws, that spirituality is singular, and believes that only the Bright Venerable can judge a person's true spirit. He actually persuaded the Tianhou Niangniang Dowager to let go of a foreign devil's soul; he is not entirely without ability."
"Besides these four great litigators, there are also the 'Ghost Walkers' who specialize in delivering petitions and gathering intelligence on the Yin-Yang Road, who are also worth noting."
Brother Qian Chen, however, did not care at all: "Go ahead! We have people in high places; we are sure to win..."
The crow sighed secretly in his heart; having people in high places is not the way to handle a lawsuit!
Even if the Sect Master can pull strings with one ghost or god, can he pull strings with all of them? Moreover, that Yin Law stuff is incomparably sinister; how could a mortal interfere with it?
Brother Qian Chen just felt it was all rather strange.
It was just like—
Who is below the hall, and why do you sue this official?
Do you think ghosts and gods are just?
The reason ghosts and gods appear just is because they care little for worldly interests and more for their own philosophies. But Brother Qian Chen himself is the greatest ghost and god! Only when one reaches his level does one realize—everyone also values connections and human favors.
Even if the lawsuit goes to the highest level, they are all my people; what do you have to fight me with?
You talk to me about justice, and I find it laughable...
