Today is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, which is commonly known as the Hungry Ghost Festival.

According to the custom, on this day, the gate of ghosts is opened, and the underworld needs to release good ghosts to return to the sun, and go home to visit relatives.

Chen Qiye sat in the Palace of the Son of Heaven, flipping through the documents that Bai Wuchang handed over.

The paperwork was filled with dense numbers of names of ghosts.

These names are all ghosts who temporarily live in the city of vain death, waiting for reincarnation.

Most of them are good souls, or ordinary ghosts who have never committed a crime.

Chen Qiye looked at their life stories and their performance in the underworld one by one.

After combined consideration, red circles will be drawn on the names of certain ghosts.

And the chosen name is the soul that can return to Yang.

After a full two hours.

Chen Qiye put down the pen in his hand and let out a long breath.

"The selection is finally over!"

As the underworld took root in Bacheng, more and more ghosts were arrested.

It took him two hours just to choose the quota for visiting relatives.

"It seems that this cloudy emperor is really not easy to be."

Chen Qiye shook his head, a wry smile appeared between his brows.

"Black and white impermanence!"

"Ox head horse noodles!"

"Bai Qingsong!"

Chen Qiye looked outside the hall and called out several names in succession.

Not long after, ghosts and gods such as black and white impermanence had already entered the hall, bowing their hands to Chen Qiye: "See you, my lord!"

Chen Qiye handed over the roster in front of him, and said, "Today is the Ghost Festival. According to folk customs, the gates of the underworld are opened as hell, and all ghosts are released to return to the sun."

"The names on the roster are the ghosts who can return to the sun to visit their relatives this time. You all lead a team of Yin soldiers and take these ghosts back."

"Remember, before dawn, all ghosts must return to the underworld, and one must not be missed."

"Respect!"

Black and white impermanence waited for the ghosts and gods to bow their waists and salute. After receiving the order, they turned around and prepared to go.

……

Underworld.

Before the gate closes.

A large number of ghosts are gathering here at the moment, lining up in a long line, and each ghost's face is full of excitement and curiosity.

And at the front of the team, there are five yin gods, Black and White Wuchang, Bull Head and Horse Face, and Bai Qingsong.

They held a large stack of guides in their hands, and distributed these guides to the ghosts in front of them one by one.

Then he said: "Everyone, today is the Hungry Ghost Festival. The Son of Heaven is kind and wants you to go home and visit your relatives. These are the guides of the underworld, and you can rely on them to cross the road to Huangquan."

"Remember, Lu Yin cannot be discarded casually, otherwise, once Lu Yin is gone, you will no longer be able to pass through Huangquan Road, and you can only become wandering souls forever."

"Before dawn, all ghosts must return to the underworld."

"If there is anyone who stays in the world without permission, he will be killed!"

Heiwuchang's cold voice resounded in the ears of all the ghosts.

A chilling intent also quietly permeated.

Feeling this icy killing intent, all the ghosts present shook their bodies and quickly nodded in agreement.

Even some ghosts who had small calculations and wanted to stay in the world forever while the gate of hell was open, let go of their distracting thoughts at this moment, and dared not think too much.

Hei Wuchang turned to look at Bai Qingsong and Niutou Mamian, and said, "The door of ghosts is open tonight, and all the ghosts will visit relatives. At that time, the workload will definitely increase greatly. I hope you will pay more attention."

"Should be."

Bai Qingsong nodded.

Then he ordered a group of Yin soldiers to lead a group of ghosts to Huangquan Road.

Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang each lead a team of Yin soldiers.

The bull head and horse face also brought a team of Yin soldiers.

Five groups of people walked towards the world in a mighty way.

……

late at night.

The streets of Nanyuan City were still full of people coming and going.

The flames burned wantonly in the copper basin, and the paper money fluttered gently in the air.

A certain family in the north of the city.

A seven or eight-year-old girl was squatting in front of the house, staring at the burning brazier in a daze.

She held a wad of paper money in her hand.

One by one, carefully put them into the brazier.

These paper money were burned for her grandfather.

Since she was only a few months old, her parents left for business and left herself in the care of her grandpa in Nanyuan City.

Every night, grandpa would tell her all kinds of nice stories to lull her to sleep.

When she is upset, grandpa will sit patiently next to her, and after she finishes crying, he will take out a lot of candies like a magic trick.

Those candies are really sweet.

Every night, when she leaves the teacher's place, she will find grandpa waiting for her at the door.

Then put her on his back and listen to her tell interesting stories that happened in the school.

Grandpa's back is really warm and solid.

Thinking about it now, the little girl still has a sweet smile on her face.

But one day...

Grandpa suddenly didn't come to pick her up.

She looked around the school frantically as if she had gone crazy.

However, she searched all over the school but did not find her grandfather.

Later, it was her father who took her home and told her:

"Your grandfather will never pick you up again."

Hearing this, she was scared for the first time when she was young.

Sitting on the ground crying helplessly.

She kept yelling for grandpa to come back.

But no one comforted her.

The person who would sit next to her, wait patiently for her to finish crying, and bring out a handful of candies to her, never appeared again.

Until a few days ago, she heard from others that grandpa had gone to a world far away.

As long as the paper money is burned, grandpa will be blessed and live a happy life in another world.

Looking at the burning paper money in the copper basin.

The little girl smiled, and there seemed to be a gleam of light in her eyes.

"Grandpa, are you okay in that world?"

"Niannian will be obedient, you must be happy there!"

"Niannian has no money, so he can only buy so much. When Niannian grows up and earns money, he will definitely burn a lot of paper money for grandpa."

"grandfather……"

"I miss you so much."

The little girl's voice became weaker and weaker.

Seemingly a little tired, she leaned against the tree beside her and fell asleep quietly.

But in a half-dream and half-awake.

She suddenly felt as if she was picked up by a pair of powerful hands and gently placed on her back.

It's so warm.

This solid back, just like Grandpa's back, made her feel extremely solid.

After a while.

Two figures came out of the room.

The old man stood in front of the door, looked at his granddaughter sleeping soundly in the room, and couldn't help wiping away his tears.

"Ugh……"

"My poor little granddaughter is only eight years old this year, and she has no parents to accompany her."

"After I leave, she will probably be even more lonely."

Yin soldiers stood behind.

Seeing this scene also looked moved.

He raised his hand, patted the old man's shoulder, and comforted him: "Old man, don't be too sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, you have to be careful."

The old man nodded.

Raising his hand to wipe away his tears, he said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I have nothing to worry about in my life. The only thing I can't let go of is my poor granddaughter."

"I hope she can grow up quickly, find a man who loves her, and live happily ever after."

Yin Bing nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

"I can see from your granddaughter's appearance that she is a very rich and powerful person, and she will definitely live happily in the future. Don't worry too much about you."

"Haha, then I would like to thank Lord Yin for your kind words!"

The old man laughed, and thanked the Yin soldiers.
