After breathing down, I got to the Lord of the Underworld

……

It was late at night, and it was getting darker.

The cold wind made the fire in the brazier flicker, and it also made the people waiting on the roadside shiver.The old woman stomped her feet to keep warm, clasped her hands together and bowed in all directions, and the neighbors around her did the same.

After the fire in the brazier was completely extinguished, the people who were waiting on the side of the road in the cold wind were relieved to go home together.It is emphasized every day on TV that they are very fire-proof now.

Then the ghost people who gathered around the brazier to collect money also dispersed.Some of them have the mentality of not picking up money for nothing, and some just regard it as one of the tourism projects. No matter how you say it, it is always a good time for both guests and hosts.

Except for the ghost trampled on the ground by the side of the road.

"Hey, the road festival is over, you can let me go!" The little male ghost who spoke was only in his early ten years old, with red lips and white teeth, and his mouth was pouted when he spoke. Call it cute.

After Xu Zhaoxi finished counting the money in his hand—123 in total, that is, 123 yuan, he glanced at the child on the ground sullenly: "Who told you to steal the money?"

Because you looked like you were smiling silly at the time, it was easy to snatch it at first glance.

But the little male ghost didn't dare to say this, he was afraid that the male ghost on his body would mess with him.For some reason, he always had a heartfelt fear of the male ghost stepping on him, and this kind of fear made him unable to resist.

Otherwise, how could he, Wang Erniu, keep silent and bully him?What the hell!

He admitted his mistake aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, big brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have robbed you of your money, I'm just too hungry and want to use the money to exchange food with other ghosts..."

"You look like a rich ghost from below, but I am different. I have no one to rely on above, no one burns paper during the New Year's day, and I will be bullied by other big ghosts..." he said, sobbing Cry, that is called a miserable.

Xu Zhaoxi couldn't bear it a little, put the coins into his brother's trouser pocket, hugged the male ghost's arm, and asked the little male ghost on the ground, "Didn't you come from the underworld?"

"No, I don't know what happened. After I died, there was no ecstasy envoy to pick me up," said the little male ghost, trying to get up, but the feet on his back stepped harder, and he immediately burst into tears. "I'm miserable, I'm so miserable woo woo woo!"

"Brother?" Xu Zhaoxi raised his head and called out, shaking the male ghost's arm.It's fine if you just teach him a lesson, because he looks like a child, and it's inevitable that he will learn bad things if he doesn't have parents to watch him after he dies.

The little male ghost glanced sideways.

Pei Ji sighed: "Does Niannian know how long he has been dead?"

The little male ghost said loudly: "Woooooooooooooo I just died two years ago!"

Pei Ji: "At least 50 years."

Xu Zhaoxi: "???"

50 years?Counting his age before he was alive, he could be his grandfather, but this ghost still pretends to be pitiful and cute to him and calls him big brother? !

Shameless!

Don't be old!

Rubbing Xu Zhaoxi's hair to comfort the pissed off kid, Pei Ji lowered his gaze to the old ghost on the ground and said, "Since you think it was the ecstasy who didn't pick you up, let's make it up this time."

At that time, after the old ghost caught Xu Zhaoxi and went back to pick up the money, Pei Ji notified Black and White Wuchang on his mobile phone.

Hearing this, the old ghost panicked immediately, especially when he saw two familiar ghost messengers in black and white costumes appearing in front of him, he panicked even more.

But he couldn't run away, the two chains quickly entangled him tightly, Bai Wuchang pulled the other end of the chain and sneered at him: "Wang Erniu, run again!"

Old Ghost King Er Niu: If you dare to let me go, I will run away!Life in the mortal world is delicious, why go to the cold underworld? !

Obviously, this Wang Erniu didn't know that life in the underworld can also be colorful.

Black and White Wuchang has a lot of work every day, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he can't take care of the dead.Those dead souls recovered their memories and consciousness after passing through the ignorance period. Some would take the initiative to find ghost messengers and let them take them down to the underworld, while others would avoid them.

Wang Erniu is the latter, and he has escaped ghosts many times during his more than 50 years of staying in the mortal world.

When Black and White Impermanence was catching ghosts, Pei Ji led Xu Chaoxi to stand a little further away.

Standing on the side of the road, Xu Zhaoxi looked at the two Wuchang's outfits curiously, and said, "These two Wuchang's black and white outfits are different from the ones I have seen on the world before."

The clothes are the same style, but Wuchang on the human path didn't wear a hat, but these two did.On the hats are written: Wealth at first sight, peace in the world.

It was exactly the same as the symbol of black and white impermanence he had learned from the book.

Could it be that these two are the real black and white impermanence?What he saw before was just their little guys?

Just as Xu Zhaoxi was thinking wildly, Black and White Wuchang, who was carrying the chain, suddenly raised his hand and bowed in their direction, before disappearing with the ghost.

Xu Zhaoxi was a little puzzled after being surprised: "Why do they bow?"

Pei Ji: "Maybe it's because I provided information about the escaped souls."

Xu Zhaoxi was not surprised that the old ghost they met had escaped. He knew what Bai Wuchang said just now. The old ghost clearly escaped the guidance of black and white Wuchang after death, so he is still wandering in the world!

It's also because I didn't go to the underworld that I wandered around for more than 50 years and still look like a child.

But he was skeptical of the male ghost's words: "Brother lied to me, black and white and godless have priesthood, unless my brother's status is higher than them!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the male ghost, with a little expression like you don't want to lie to me.

Pei Ji pinched the tip of his nose with a smile, and said softly: "Yes, my brother has been promoted, and his position is a little higher than theirs." Sometimes he would hope that Xu Zhaoxi could guess his identity, but reason told him Now is not the time.

Overtime work really pays off!Xu Zhaoxi was pleasantly surprised: "My brother has been promoted! Do you have a priesthood? What do you do?"

Pei Ji: "I have a priesthood, so I can guess what I do every year."

It's okay, they still have a long time, take your time.

It was not early, and the Cold Clothes Festival was about to pass. The male ghost led the little ghost and turned back to the Town God's Temple in Sunan City.The bodies of the two ghosts faded away in the night until they disappeared.

Only a few words scattered in the air.

"Remind me, brother..."

"Things are complicated, and there are more ghosts and gods in contact..."

"Hey, is it the secretary? After the restructuring, the secretary also has the priesthood..."

……

The three ghosts met at the Town God's Temple and returned to the small courtyard of the wooden house in the underworld through the Town God's Statue again.

They are in a hurry, and they will be on the 16th in a few minutes.The projection of Yang Shi in the sky became increasingly dim and blurred, as if separated by a layer of water, until the time passed on the 16th and completely returned to the silence of the past.

Xu Zhaoxi looked away and asked Yuebai: "I didn't have time to ask before, how is your situation? Is everything going well?"

Yue Bai patted his head and said, "It went well, I didn't meet a Taoist priest."

Xu Zhaoxi was speechless: "...whoever asked if you met a Taoist priest, it was your in-laws."

"...What kind of in-laws! Don't try to save trouble when you talk, it's grandpa and grandma," Yue Bai corrected, "You are in good health, but you are much older."

He followed the two ghosts into the house, sat down in the living room, and said, "But I've seen it through now, the worst thing is to die, and we can reunite in the underworld after death."

Xu Zhaoxi had the same feeling as him.After knowing the existence of the underworld, I have become more open about death.

He sat on the sofa with Pei Ji, and Yue Bai leaned on the table with his chin on the back of his hand and asked him, "What about you? Did you stay in Happy House for a day?"

Xu Zhaoxi: "Of course not. My brother and I went to see the road festival, and there is still money~" He pouted triumphantly, and took out a stack of Ming coins from the male ghost's trouser pocket.

Yue Bai stared wide-eyed: "I'm so sour! I searched the Internet for road sacrifices before, and I searched around Sunan City, but I couldn't find even a hair!"

But he found a female celebrity he likes, and the female celebrity is dating her secret boyfriend at home, so this accidental love doesn't seem so "happy".

Xu Zhaoxi told Yuebai that the place was not in Sunan City, and it wasn't because he was black that he couldn't find it, so Yuebai felt better.

Xu Zhaoxi generously promised: "I will take you with me next time!"

After sitting in the living room for a while, Yue Bai waved his hand to bid farewell, and returned to his home, Xu Zhaoxi and Pei Ji went straight to rest after a brief wash.

It is not tiring for a ghost to stay up all day and all night, but life must have a sense of ritual, so Xu Zhaoxi comfortably hugged the male ghost and fell asleep in the dark.

After the Cold Clothes Festival, everyone will go back to work. Xu Zhaoxi thought that Pei Ji would be busy again. After all, Pei Ji was busy before, especially now that he was promoted.

Surprisingly, the male ghost didn't seem as busy as he imagined.Not to mention getting off work on time every day, and sometimes returning early to help him farm.

Pei Ji's explanation for this is: "I was promoted, and I assigned some work to other subordinates who have free time." For example, King Chu Jiang.

King Chujiang, miserable!

Xu Zhaoxi was naturally happy to hear and see, he was happy to stay with his brother every day.

This afternoon, he finished inspecting his own land—vegetable garden, orchard, teardrop field, dream flower field and pond. The silt in the pond had dried up a bit, and it was time for planting.

Xu Zhaoxi went home excitedly, intending to plant lotus while it was still early.

It happened that the male ghost left home early, so he briskly asked: "Brother, do you want to plant lotus together?"

At the table, Pei Ji sipped his saliva, put down his water glass, turned his head and nodded to Xu Zhaoxi: "Okay."

If he was going to plant lotus, it would not be appropriate for him to continue wearing his formal clothes.Watched by the little ghost, the male ghost changed into dirty clothes, and on the way, the naughty little ghost groped his abs and ate tofu.

After changing clothes, Pei Ji grabbed the troubled hand and put it to his lips and kissed: "Don't make trouble."

Afterwards, the two ghosts went to the tool room downstairs to change their waterproof boots. Xu Zhaoxi moved his feet in sandals and said, "I won't change them. I'll go barefoot later."

"No," the male ghost said in a deep voice, pressing the disobedient kid to put on the waterproof boots, "There may be sharp things at the bottom of the water." Such as broken shells, snail shells, etc.

Xu Zhaoxi pursed his mouth and the boss was not happy, but in reality his eyes were too beautiful, the way his brother frowned and cared about him is so handsome~

After finishing all the preparations, the two ghosts went out hand in hand, Pei Ji also carried a bucket of seeds, not like going to plant lotus, but more like a date.

The lotus seeds in the bucket are soaked in clean water after changing the water every day. They have not been soaked for half a month, and now they have sprouted.

Pick up the seeds, and press the shoots into the slightly dry silt one by one, aiming at the sky, leaving enough space in between.The pond is not big, and they quickly finished planting an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters.

After that, Xu Zhaoxi took a few steps to the creek with the empty bucket to fetch half a bucket of water. After returning, he poured the water carefully along the edge of the pond. The clear stream water spread in the pond and soon sank into the dry mud.

Xu Zhaoxi stood up, clapped his hands, and said to the male ghost with a smile, "Okay! We can see the lotus in a few months~"

His fair and clean face was covered with pond mud that he had casually pasted on, even on his hair.

"Little cat." The male ghost smiled lowly, while wiping the mud off his head and face with his hands.

The grinning little ghost hugged the male ghost, and rubbed his face back and forth on him, until there were mud marks on Pei Ji's chest.

"Brother, let's go to the town later and make an appointment for the dean's grandmother to have a dream," Xu Zhaoxi said after returning to the wooden house and changing into clean clothes, "and then have dinner in the town by the way."

Pei Ji had no objection: "Okay."

The two ghosts went out after resting, passing by Uncle Zhong's house on the way.

The low-key farmyard in the past was very lively this afternoon. The door was wide open, and ghosts came and went. It was the enthusiastic aunts and aunts who were setting up the new house.Hongxi characters were pasted everywhere and red lanterns were hung up.

Xu Zhaoxi suddenly remembered: Uncle Zhong is getting married soon.

Thinking about myself again, the old man's elder brother doesn't even give him meat!I don’t work overtime recently and don’t give food, I’m angry~

Turtle soup doesn't work, it seems that you have to drink deer whip soup!
