After Getting A Job in the Nether World, I Became Famous

The next day, Sunshine gave Cheng Haidong the courage to tell the truth about his experience, and lamented that if Lan He, who was both courageous and big-hearted, hadn't woken him up, he really didn't know what would have happened.

Everyone knew that he was crushed by ghosts in the house of the deceased old man, and they shuddered.Soon, last night there was a shooting ghost incident that spread like wildfire among the crew.

The director's action of canceling the filming plan did not cause any disturbance last night, but today, it seemed that the director had already noticed something strange.The quaint atmosphere of Yantang Village also turned into a ghostly atmosphere overnight.

The director was very unhappy. He felt that the village was not kind, and the house was leased to them, but he still wanted to respect the deceased.Thinking that it was not many days, he called Cheng Haidong to comfort him, and arranged for them to change to the room next door to him.

The crew invited people from the village to cook and even perform as a group performer. The news quickly spread from the whole crew to the whole village, and the villagers inevitably began to gossip.

Cheng Haidong bumped into a ghost once, his face became very pale, and he insisted on gossip, "There are rumors in the village that the big one you mentioned, the gold and silver flag, is said to be crudely made, so it can't stand up. The old man didn't leave. It's also because of this. You said he was angry with his children and grandchildren, so go find the right master, what's the point of looking for me, treat me as a grandson..."

Lan He was not surprised, but understood.He went to incense the old man yesterday, and the incense smelled musty.

In addition, the paper money is all made of yellow paper. It is not surprising that there are many paper money printed on recycled paper, but there are also a lot of old-fashioned paper money.But he noticed that the imprint on the paper was blurred and rather crudely made.

What mark?This kind of traditional paper money needs to use a special seal, smash it down with a hammer, and stamp the coin mark on the yellow paper.

In ancient times, craftsmen were invited to come to the house to play, and there was a special profession of "money chisel".You can buy it now or print it yourself. Only when it is stamped can it be regarded as paper "money".Otherwise, it will be a piece of waste paper like a document without an official seal.

Therefore, a considerable part of the burnt paper money is still ordinary yellow paper, which cannot be circulated in the underworld.

Lan He also wondered why he was so stingy with incense and paper even though he was willing to buy gold and silver flags.Now that I know that the gold and silver banners were also made indiscriminately, it unifies the style on the contrary.

……

Because of Cheng Haidong's matter, the production team had a lot of discussions. The work was over at [-] o'clock that night, and they were still discussing some small ways to ward off evil spirits, such as putting knives and money under the pillow.

Although it is said that work is over at night, it is by no means a simple rest. Everyone also needs to communicate and prepare for the next day's work.Cheng Haidong also went to their boss's room, and Lan He was in the room preparing for tomorrow's scene by himself.

At around twelve o'clock in the evening, Lan He only heard Cheng Haidong's voice returning to the yard, and he did not know who was still in the yard chatting in a low voice.

The house basically didn't have any soundproofing effect. After Lan He stopped talking, the door of the next room didn't open for a long time. At first, he thought that Cheng Haidong had gone to the bathroom, but then he felt that something was wrong, so he went out to have a look.

I saw Cheng Haidong sitting on the steps in the yard, with his back to the door, with his head down, not knowing what to do.

"Dongzi?" Lan He stepped forward and called out, but Cheng Haidong didn't respond. When he got closer, he smelled the familiar smell of paper ashes. wood.

Lan He cursed in a low voice, looked around and saw nothing, and helped Cheng Haidong to his room.He can walk, but he has no consciousness of his own, and he has lost his soul at all.

Lan He smelled the smell of low-quality moldy smell in the dusty air of paper. She seemed to have known him before, and knew that Old Man Song might have taken it away.Cheng Haidong was just crushed by the ghost yesterday, and he was already very angry, so he was taken away today.

Lan He's grandfather was a cloth maker who opened a paper shop—the "clothes" here refers to all the paper-made ghost objects burned for the dead, as large as gold and silver banners, paper objects, paper People, as small as paper money, have to be made.

In this line of work, it is inevitable to deal with ghosts and gods, and it is also regarded as eating from the underworld, because all business is related to the underworld.

Lan He had been fascinated by it since she was a child, and knew that if Cheng Haidong was not brought back, she might become a fool.

Although it has been adhering to the idea that humans and ghosts have different paths, if it is not necessary, don't bother with the idea of ​​​​the underworld.But Lan He couldn't just watch his buddy lose his soul, so he quickly searched the room.

As Ching Ming is approaching, many villagers have prepared joss sticks, paper money and other things at home.Lan He found a knife of yellow paper in the miscellaneous room, but it hadn't been stamped yet.With his fingers fluttering, he folded the yellow paper several times, and when he stretched it open again, it became a plump ingot.

Lan He and his grandfather get along a lot, and they also help with the work. They are very familiar with handwork, and they can stack thousands of paper ingots a day.Although I haven't done it for a long time, I made a small pile after a while.

After folding the paper ingots, I found white paper and folded it into paper clothes.There are also colored papers, but the paper clothes of the newly mourned must be cut from white paper, and the new ghosts dare not wear colored paper.He was folded to the newly mourned Mr. Song, so naturally he used white.

I folded another small paper figurine, and wrote my name and birthday according to Cheng Haidong's ID number.

There is another envelope with the old man's full name and the year of birth and death written on it - this is what he saw in the notice posted on the longevity material when he offered incense.Only by writing the name can the deceased receive it.

Lan He took all the things out, piled up the ingots, paper clothes and paper figurines on top, holding Cheng Haidong's lighter in his hand.

The purpose of burning the paper man is to act as a stand-in for Cheng Haidong, so that he can take the opportunity to come back.The ingots and clothes were from Lan He who thought that the old man's children and grandchildren didn't burn anything real for him.

With these, the old man will feel better.

Lan He pressed the lighter, and the small flame flickered and reflected in his pupils.

Hundreds of mountains of gold and silver, turning into tens of thousands of ghosts and silks, for the dead to pass through the nine springs——

Lan He suddenly felt his arm sore, and stretched his hand forward uncontrollably. The flame of the lighter touched Yuanbao, and it was quickly ignited, and Yuanbao Mountain burst into flames!

The ingot burned extremely fast, and the wind came from nowhere, rolled up the paper ash, and flew upwards like a butterfly, flying very high, even higher than the roof.

Lan He's pupils contracted a little. The ingots burned too quickly, and all of them ignited in an instant. He didn't have time to put the envelope, so there was no guarantee that the ingots would be taken by the deceased.

Moreover, the paper ashes flying horizontally is the symbol of the deceased receiving it. It is said that if the wind blows upward...

call--

A chilly wind seemed to blow at the base of the neck.

There was a feeling of soreness and swelling in the bones again, as if the wind had been blowing into the bone crevices.

In the courtyard of an ancient Qing style house in the middle of the night, there is only the cool moonlight shining down, there is almost no sound or color, except for the flying paper butterflies, only the gentle breathing, as if it is close at hand, as if it is... at……

Lan He exhaled slowly, turned around bravely, and was facing a gray face, the dark pupils were dark and dull, and the cold breath he exhaled hit Lan He's face.

Lan He's heart shrank suddenly, and she kept her composure by digging her palms with her fingers!

The straight-line distance between them was probably not more than one meter. Lan He met his eyes and felt a gloomy aura enveloping his whole body.

After staring at each other for two seconds, the other party actually moved his face a little closer, and looked at Lan He, who seemed to be unresponsive, his dark eyes were full of scrutiny.

"...Mmm." Lan He slowly squeezed the envelope, fanned it, and looked straight ahead, "I'm so hungry."

The other party looked at Lan He suspiciously, kept a close distance, and stared fixedly at Lan He.

Ordinary people would have collapsed long ago under such staring eyes.

Lan He could also see it more clearly. He was dressed in white and had a tall hat on which there were four words: At first sight, he was born.Holding a red lantern in his hand, there are four words written on the lantern: Dongyue Yinsi.

This is... Bai Wuchang?

One of the most well-known civil servants in the underworld, the legendary envoy of souls, the ghost of impermanence, and his image is well known in China.

It is said that evil spirits are the scariest, but obviously, the underworld agents who are responsible for catching evil spirits are not much less.The ghost of impermanence is also a ghost, even if he is kind in nature, after so many times on duty, he should develop a vicious aura.

Evil ghosts are afraid of seeing them, not to mention living people in the world, it is said that if they accidentally bump into each other, they will be seriously ill.

Most of Lan He's knowledge is theoretical, and the ashes are flying high, which is indeed a sign of being taken over by ghosts and gods in the underworld.It's just a little strange, according to the legend, Bai Wuchang is also considered the boss of the underworld, the leader of the underworld, who specializes in catching evil spirits, the chances of ordinary people seeing him are actually quite low.

He was so "lucky" to be stolen by Bai Wuchang?By the way, it is said that "the world is peaceful" is written on the hat of black impermanence, and "wealth at first sight" is written on the hat of white impermanence. Why is "talent" written on the hat of impermanence?

Lan He was slightly puzzled, but still looked ahead with a relaxed expression.

This is the quality of an actor: Even if you meet Bai Wuchang's eyes, you can pretend that you can't see anything.

He just wanted to save Cheng Haidong, and he didn't want to deal with another world.

I saw Bai Wuchang staring at Lan He for a while, then took two steps to the side, holding the ingot for a closer look, his voice was so cold that he could wring out ice water, but his joy was real, "Okay, Very nice!"

The more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it, and he asked Lan He abruptly, "Where did you buy this?"

Lan He turned a deaf ear to it, Yuanbao Mountain had already been burned, so he took a broom and began to sweep away the ashes.

Impermanence didn't cheat, he snorted, his suspicions gradually dissipated, he stuffed Yuanbaoshan into his bosom that seemed to have a bottomless pit, and even picked his nostrils.

Lan He: "..."

He walked towards the room as if nothing had happened, but suddenly heard the impermanent and cold voice behind him:

"Order Lan He's soul to enter Dongyue Yin Division 72 as an official under the case of Cao!"

...Damn, how did he know my name?Lan He only felt his body lighten, and unconsciously closed his eyes.

……

When he opened his eyes again, his feet were slightly off the ground, and when he looked down, he saw his body lying on the ground, unlike Cheng Haidong who just lost his soul, his soul and soul were separated, as if he was dead.

Bai Wuchang looked at him in shock, holding a document in his hand, "You are Lan He? Then there was no way you couldn't see me just now!"

Lan He: "..."

Bai Wuchang: "..."

Lan He: "..."

This is a bit embarrassing.

Bai Wuchang also laughed angrily, "Are you even lying to ghosts? Okay, okay, little brother, you have potential. Let me tell you, from today onwards, you will be a fierce general of our Dongyue Yin Division."

Lan He said dumbly: "You mean, a temporary worker."

He has already realized what is going on, the underworld is busy with affairs, if Wuchang is too busy, he will recruit living people from the underworld to serve as errands, help them seduce their souls, and release them back after finishing the work.

This kind of errand is called "walking impermanence" or "walking yin", and this kind of person is called "life impermanence" because they are living people and correspond to impermanent ghosts.

Of course, in today's terms, it can also be called a temporary worker in the underworld.

But Lan He didn't know how he got on this list and was forced to enlist in the army.

"Call it whatever you want." Bai Wuchang smiled, "I'm short of labor recently, you can work hard with me, and I won't treat you badly."

Lan He tentatively said: "Master Bai Wuchang, my ambition is not here..."

Maybe those witches, wizards and the like would expect to have a relationship with the ghost.But Lan He has her own job, so she doesn't want to work part-time anymore.Furthermore, this underworld meal is not so delicious.

Bai Wuchang touched his face, and there was a hint of joy, but on his lifeless face, he looked a little weird, "Oh, I'm not Xie Ye, you got it wrong. Of course, Xie Ye is my role model...you call me Old Bai is."

It is said that the name of "Bai Wuchang" is Xie Bi'an, and Lan He suddenly realized that he is an ordinary errand rather than a genuine Bai Wuchang. He is probably admiring Bai Wuchang, so he dressed up like this, "Oh, no wonder, then you make money at first sight' The word '财' is misspelled."

Lao Bai: "That's a pseudonym."

Lan He: "..."

You... Lan He endured it, and said, "I will write my resignation letter and burn it, please forgive me, Mr. Bai."

He really didn't understand how he was favored, but the underworld forcibly recruited living souls, never respecting the wishes of the client, it was completely compulsory, and it was useless to argue with them, we could only try our best to deal with it.

"It's ridiculous, there's no one bargaining with ghosts and gods!" Sure enough, Lao Bai yelled, "Any living soul who is conscripted must be worth at least 12 years before he will be resigned."

Lan He: "I folded the ingots and paper clothes before."

A different look immediately appeared on Old Bai's dead face, so...

Who in the world can tell the authenticity of paper money?There is no way to go to the bank to ask, so not every piece of paper money burned is qualified and of good quality.

In the underworld, there is a mountain of broken money. Because the quality of a large amount of paper money burned in the underworld is not good enough, it is not good enough to be used as currency circulation, so it is discarded and piled up like a mountain.

The ingot stacked by Lan He in the front is different. Lao Bai hasn't seen such a fine ingot for a long time. Even if the material is the same, not everyone has this kind of craftsmanship.

Lao Bai immediately changed the subject, and said reservedly: "Well, it seems that you are sincere...but it will be worth twelve months."

Money can pass through ghosts and gods, and if Lao Bai discounts it, 12 years will become one year.

One year is long enough, Lan He reluctantly said: "Then can you arrange the paperwork for me?"

Walking through impermanence is not the only work of ecstasy, this is mostly the case, and it is possible to do other jobs.

Lao Bai also reluctantly said: "Try your best."

"Thank you." Lan He agreed sadly after bargaining.

It's really a disaster for no reason. I have to work as a temporary worker for the underworld for a year, and it's the kind of money that I don't get paid.

Lao Bai took out his uniform from his pocket, including the same tall hat as him, a chain and a fan, "Here, this is yours, it's all made of a one-to-one version of the original black and white impermanence, only the hat is You have to write your own words."

...It seems that these errands really worship their leader, Lan He picked up his hat and thought for a while.

Lao Bai took out a pen and handed it to him again: "Do you want to write 'Make Money at First Sight' or 'World Peace'?"

Lan He asked, "You can only choose between these two?"

Lao Bai looked at him strangely: "No... But everyone basically chooses one of the two. The impermanence of black and white is very famous in the world of Yin and Yang. Let's learn how to dress up like the two masters. It's like borrowing the light of the two. Also afraid of three points."

Lan He understood what he meant, "I can do paperwork, so I don't worry about it."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lao Bai to stop him, he wrote four words on the hat: All are here.

Lao Bai: "???"

"By the way, my friend Hun'er is lost, can I use this to get him back?" Lan He pinched the fan and said, there are two impermanent props, the Soul Seduction Cable is used to seduce souls, and the Soul Resurrection Fan can make people feel better. The soul returns to the body.

"Of course, it's a trivial matter." Laobai glanced at Cheng Haidong, "But today, you want to help me seduce a soul named Song Qinmin. The local city god reported that he was stranded in the world and refused to leave. Soul help."

Isn't Song Qinmin the name of the newly mourned old man Song?

Lan He: "Then I probably know where he is."

……

Lan He was in a state of soul, and brought Lao Bai to the old man Song's house. From a distance, he saw old man Song and Cheng Haidong at the door. He wanted to pull Cheng Haidong in, but Cheng Haidong grabbed the door frame and refused.

Sure enough, he was taken away by old man Song...

After thinking about it, Lan He raised her fan to cover her face.

"What are you doing?" Lao Bai asked.

"I want to wear a vest." Lan He said in a muffled voice.

He was forced to take this part-time job reluctantly, but he didn't want to be famous, so as not to cause trouble after the one-year term expired.

Furthermore, even if old man Song hadn't seen his plays, he might have seen him in the village.Cheng Haidong knew him even more, if he saw him dressed like this, he wouldn't be scared out of his wits.Better to cover it up.

Lao Bai chuckled, it's strange, if those who live in the underworld are recruited, they would like to be famous, so that they can make money in the underworld, but Lan He is the opposite.

Looking at Song Qinmin again, seeing their red lanterns, he hid inside the door.

Cheng Haidong heaved a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and saw two ghost figures floating towards him, wearing tall hats, with four words written on the hats, "I saw a new material" and "Come all come", holding a chain in his hand, One of them still covered his face.

Cheng Haidong was horrified, not only saw a ghost today, but also saw a ghost!

It's the strange characters on the head of this ghost...

Cheng Haidong was brought here by the old man in a daze. The old man said he would invite him to drink tea. When he reached the door, he suddenly realized that he was here.

Impermanence is full of ghosts. Ordinary living people tremble when they see a serious illness, and ghosts tremble when they see it.Although Cheng Haidong didn't know them, he knew that he was afraid deep in his soul, so he sat down against the wall with tears in his eyes, "I don't want to die..."

The words "It's all here" written on the hat made him panic when he saw it, and he was afraid that they would say, "It's all here, if you don't get away, I'll take you away."

Fortunately, the ghost messenger just said quietly: "Boy, your life is not over yet, Master Bai will send you back."

Cheng Haidong was overjoyed, "Thank you, thank you big brother...Master Bai."

He saw that "Come here" said nothing. Although he couldn't see the other person's face, he was very flustered, "Yes, thank you too..."

Lao Bai casually said: "Master Lan!"

Lan He couldn't stop him in time, and shook his head at Lao Bai under the fan. He couldn't reveal his real name, so it's nothing to reveal half of his vest.

Fortunately, Cheng Haidong didn't think of his friend, he just showed a confused look, and said to himself: "White...blue...blue and white impermanence? I've only heard of black and white impermanence, is there a navy in the underworld?"
