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

Xu Zhaoxi: "How much?"

Yue Bai: "Twenty thousand and twenty-four."

Xu Zhaoxi: "Why do you have so many?" His voice was difficult.

"I don't know," Yue Bai rubbed his head, "Maybe it's because he saved two children who fell into the water during the high school summer vacation?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that was the case, and said: "Ten thousand per person, plus other odds and ends such as sending lost children to the police station and helping people snatch back bags from speeding gangsters should be about the same."

"What about you?"

You've had a wonderful life in places I don't know about.

Facing the curious eyes in front of him, Xu Zhaoxi hesitated for a moment and said a few words awkwardly: "Two dollars and five."

Yue Bai was taken aback for a moment, then parted the corner of his mouth and laughed laughingly: "Hahahahaha!" The voice was so loud that all the ghosts in the Palace of Qin Guangwang looked at it.

Xu Zhaoxi was expressionless.

Yue Bai patted him on the shoulder, barely stopped his smile and said, "Haha, it's okay, anyway, I know you're poor hahaha, it's not a day or two hiccups."

Yes, Xu Zhaoxi was a poor man when he was alive, and he was also a poor man when he died.

"Go and register your identity first." He coldly interrupted his friend's ridicule, and walked across the street first.

The information registration center is across the street from the back door of King Qin Guang's Palace, and you can see it when you come out.

Xu Zhaoxi and Yue Bai walked to the building with the door sign of "Eastern Division of Underworld Information Registration Center". It was a modern building with the door open, and ghosts came in and out of the door one after another.

Yue Bai saw a poster of "Information Registration Flowchart" standing in the direction facing the gate, and was about to step in curiously, when Xu Zhaoxi grabbed him.

"I seem to have seen Meng Po Zhuang." Xu Zhaoxi said.

"Meng Po Zhuang? The one that drinks Meng Po soup?" Yue Bai looked around, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it!"

Xu Zhaoxi pulled him to turn left.At the end of this street is an ancient building similar to the Palace of King Qin Guang, and you can see the long queue outside the door without going there.

The reason why they didn't find it the first time they entered the city was because this building was not on the same street as Qin Guang Wang Palace, and their sight was blocked.

The two ghosts didn't get too close, they just stood in the distance and looked at each other.The words "Meng Po Zhuang" are indeed hung on the gate of the building, followed by brackets - "Office in the East District of the Underworld".

Yue Bai exclaimed: "Xu Xiaonian, you have good eyes! You can see the words on the house plate clearly from such a distance."

Xu Chaoxi: "Guess." Since it was an ancient building, it must have been at the same time as Qin Guangwang Palace, and it happened that Po Meng, who was supposed to be in front of the Naihe Bridge, was nowhere to be seen, so he made a random guess.

The two ghosts didn't say they wanted to go in, nonsense, eight or nine times out of ten they had to drink Mengpo soup when they entered Mengpo Village, who would want to lose their memory if they had a choice?

They waited there, and finally saw a ghost coming out of Meng Pozhuang and coming towards them.

Yue Bai: "Look at mine."

Then he left Xu Zhaoxi behind and chatted familiarly with the other party for a long time. After a while, he came back and said to Xu Zhaoxi: "It's similar to amnesia. Some knowledge and skills are retained, but the things and people that have been experienced are forgotten."

This is not good news.

Yue Bai: "I asked him about it, and he said that Ferry City doesn't keep any residents, and only provides free board and lodging for 7 days. After 7 days, the new ghost must go to Meng Po Village to drink Meng Po soup, and then leave with his ID card."

As for what happened after he left, the ghost himself didn't know.

"What should we do, Xu Xiaonian?" Yuebai looked at Xu Zhaoxi anxiously.He didn't want to lose his memory, but it seemed like he couldn't get any ID card if he didn't enter Meng Pozhuang.

Xu Zhaoxi glanced at Mengpo village in the distance again, he didn't want to drink that Mengpo soup even more than Yuebai.Turning around and walking back, he said, "Come on, go back to the information registration center, maybe you can get some useful information."

Returning to the building of the information registration center, Xu Zhaoxi and Yue Bai followed the instructions of the "information registration flow chart" and found a relatively free room on the first floor to enter.

There is an electronic screen hanging on the wall inside, and it is scrolling and playing——

1. Science popularization on the underworld settlement and reincarnation matters of information registration.

2. Ghost hunting notices for information registration.

3. Popular science of Meng Po soup for information registration.

4. 7-day board and lodging science popularization in Ferry City.

5. Ferry city recruitment notice and contact address.

……

The two ghosts looked at it one by one, and finally understood what was going on.

First of all, the new ghost after the trial has to consider whether to go to reincarnation or settle in the underworld, no matter which one you choose, you must register your identity.Because the order of reincarnation is several decades later, for the convenience of the underworld management, each ghost must be registered.

The ghost people who choose to settle down don't have to worry about regretting it later. As long as they want to, they can go to the tenth hall of the underworld to apply for the order of reincarnation at any time.

Ghost hunting revelation.As the name suggests, it is to pay money when registering information, and let the staff help to find out whether there are relatives living in the underworld, and where they are currently. This service is not mandatory.

Xu Zhaoxi and Yue Bai were already crazy with joy.

"I want them to find out where my parents and grandparents are!" Yue Bai excitedly said, "My parents have only been dead for about ten years, and my grandparents died the year before last, so they must not have been reincarnated!"

Xu Zhaoxi only had one sentence: "I want to find my brother! Brother, brother, brother!"

The two ghosts jumped and looked at each other excitedly, both happy for this unexpected joy.

But Xu Zhaoxi wilted within a few minutes, like a balloon punctured by a needle."I have no money," he said.

Yue Bai patted his chest: "I have!"

Xu Chaoxi: "It costs 5000 to check once. Even if your parents live together, you have to check at least twice to be sure. That's [-]."

This still takes advantage of the fact that Yuebai's parents died together, and his grandparents died in the same batch after death.

Then there is Mengpo soup.

Before leaving Ferry City, every ghost has to drink Mengpo soup, but this is not necessary, and it can be offset with ghost coins.

When the settlement policy was first implemented, there were often ghosts who caused troubles due to grievances and grievances in the yang world, and added jobs to the officials of the local government, so this ghost coin is equivalent to the overtime pay that may be caused by paying yourself in the future.

But one application required [-] coins, and Yue Bai had just enough money for himself.

Xu Zhaoxi hates it, why is she so poor!

"It's okay, isn't it possible to work part-time in Ferry City? The salary ends every day. We can work part-time to earn some money before applying to stop drinking Mengpo soup." Yue Bai comforted him, "If it doesn't work, we can only eat Mengpo soup first. The ghosts are in the underworld, and it will take a long time to find them."

Xu Chaoxi: "That's right, the big deal is to put more money in the future and let the ghosts in the registration center help."

He wasn't hypocritical enough to refuse Yuebai to pay for him, the relationship between them was only a matter of refusal.

"Good brother," he touched Yue Bai's hands, "I will pay you back when I earn some money."

Yue Bai held him back with the same emotion: "Okay! I won't charge you interest!"

Xu Zhaoxi: "... At this time, shouldn't you say: It's all about paying back the money from the brothers."

Yue Bai blinked: "...I am also poor now."

Xu Zhaoxi: "You didn't have this attitude when you called me daddy."

Yue Bai: "Because I'm not filial."

The two ghosts let go of their hands in disgust at the same time, and went to enter the information to get the room number.

Registering your identity is very simple. Go upstairs and find the right place to line up. After entering, there will be a staff member asking for your name, date of birth and date of death.

Xu Zhaoxi watched with relish as a "hillies enters the city" as the questioning ghost skillfully typed on the computer, and finally the ghost asked him expectantly, "Do you want to check on your relatives in the underworld?"

Xu Zhaoxi said with difficulty: "No." The main reason is that he has no money.

The ghost worker withdrew his hand on the keyboard in disappointment, and looked at him: "Tomorrow, you can go to Meng Pozhuang to get your ID card. When you go out, turn right and the building with the most ghosts at the end of the street is there. You can stay in Ferry City for 4 days. You have to go after 4 days at the latest, and there will be other workers who will tell you what to do next."

Xu Chaoxi: "Didn't you say that Ferry City provides 7 days of board and lodging?"

Worker: "It is true that it is seven days, from the day you die to the first seven nights, but most ghosts cannot enter the city from the world within one day."

Xu Zhaoxi suddenly realized that they had been delayed on the road for so long. "Thank you." He got up to leave.

When going out, the ghost worker handed him a key card, which was the place where he stayed in Ferry City. The color of the key card was pure white, and 2-375 was written in black on it.

After Yuebai came out, Xu Chaoxi exchanged information with him, and the two ghosts found that they were assigned the same room, Room 2 on the 7th floor of Building 35.

Fate, Yue Bai sighed and asked: "What are we going to do next?"

Xu Zhaoxi thought for a while: "Take a stroll around the city first, and confirm the locations of the various functional buildings."

When leaving the information registration center, Xu Zhaoxi looked at the time hanging on the wall of the hall, it was 3:24 pm.

The two ghosts went out and turned left, and after walking a certain distance, the first thing they saw was a construction site.The construction site was in full swing, and a group of ghost workers were busy moving bricks, steel bars, and steel bars.

The supervisor’s foreman saw them during his inspection and came over to ask, “Are you looking for a job? Can you scrape bricks? If you can’t, just do the manual work of moving bricks and steel bars. The wages here are 120 for scraping bricks and 100 for manual work.”

Xu Zhaoxi saw a gray-haired old ghost walking quickly with a bundle of bricks in one hand, and was amazed. He looked away and said, "We have registered and come out, and we want to take a look around first."

The foreman understood: "Let's go and see. The entire Ferry City recruits workers for construction sites, dormitories, and cafeterias. We have the highest wages on the construction site. If you want to earn money, you have to come back."

Yue Bai remained silent, the two ghosts left the construction site and took a while to roughly circle the entire city.

This ferry city is much smaller than they imagined, roughly equivalent to the area of ​​a university.

In addition to Qin Guangwang Palace, Mengpo Village and the Information Registration Center, there are only three types of buildings in the city: residential areas, canteens, and unfinished construction sites, among which residential buildings are the most numerous.

Think about it too, the so-called life does not bring death and does not take away.

Some of the ghosts who entered the Ferry City were directly thrown into hell to be punished, and the rest were only the clothes they wore. If they were lucky, they could get some ghost coins saved in the yang world. It was useless when formal ghosts were not allowed to settle in. Commodities to trade.

Oh, there is also a bus stop sign at the Dongcheng exit, which departs six times a day, and you can leave directly with your ID card.

Yuebai burst into tears: "I still have to move bricks to make money after I die, what kind of reality is this in the world."

Xu Zhaoxi corrected: "The underworld is real."

Yue Bai: "I really miss my house in the city center and the mountains in the countryside, huh."

Xu Zhaoxi nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Yue Bai turned to look at him in a daze, and thought: My house!my mountain!What do you think?But Xu Xiaonian is his good brother, so it doesn't matter if you think about it.

At this time, the good brother said: "It's almost dinner time, let's go to the queue early."

Yue Bai: "Oh." Then he followed into the cafeteria.

There are three canteens in the city, Xu Zhaoxi and Yue Bai entered the one closest to their dormitory building.The interior of the cafeteria is also similar to the structure of a university cafeteria, with windows for serving dishes and tables, chairs and benches.

It's just that the food provided by each window is the same, one meat and two vegetables plus a bowl of white rice.

"Why do you still eat and drink after becoming a ghost? Isn't it right that you can stop eating and drinking?" Yue Bai sighed at the dinner plate.Even the dishes look familiar. Isn’t this the school’s favorite—cheap and plentiful stir-fried shredded potatoes?

"Who told you that you can not eat or drink when you are a ghost?" Xu Zhaoxi was surprised.

Yue Bai was stunned: "Isn't it?"

Xu Zhaoxi: "Why do those ghosts who stay in the mortal world practice and absorb people's yang energy? Otherwise, it will dissipate after a long time? Ghosts also follow the law of energy conservation, and they must be replenished when they are consumed. At most, ghosts are hungrier than humans."

"It makes sense," Yue Bai applauded and nodded, "But the law of conservation of energy is not like something you can say, so you're pretending to be forced by Brother Pei's words?"

Xu Zhaoxi snorted: "My brother's is mine."

Yue Bai: "Tsk tsk, as expected of you, Xu Xiaonian, you will soften when you mention Pei Ji."

Xu Zhaoxi bent his eyes and smiled.He and his brother are now living in the same world, as long as they earn enough money to search, they can meet again!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say with a cheerful tone: "Eat quickly, go back to the room to rest after eating, and go out to move bricks tomorrow~"

Although they can leave directly tomorrow with their ID cards, but after paying the two portions of Meng Po Tang, they only have 26.5 of their total funds left.

After discussing with Yuebai, he always thought that it is better to work part-time to save some money, otherwise how to solve the problem of food and lodging when he leaves the ferry city.

After eating the free dinner in the cafeteria, Xu Zhaoxi and Yue Bai returned to the room assigned to them in the second building.The room is not big, it is an eight-person room with bunk beds, and the layout is the same as the dormitory in the school.

"Xu Xiaonian, can this bed really be used for sleeping? When was it washed? Could there be ghosts doing indescribable things on it?" Yue Bai looked at the green sheets and bedding with disgust and asked.

"You can choose not to cover it," Xu Zhaoxi said, "Maybe ghosts won't catch a cold, you can try." He looked around in the room, but couldn't find the toilet, and there were no toilets anywhere in the corridor.

Strange, there is a place to wash, why is there no toilet?

Later, when the roommates who lived in the same room came back from the construction site together, Xu Zhaoxi inquired with them and got a shocking news: ghosts can't excrete!

The male ghost who answered was full of vicissitudes: "Things that cannot be digested will be spit out."

"So, what did you vomit?" Yue Bai asked sympathetically.

The male ghost gave him a blank look: "What are you thinking about, I just vomited a small stone mixed in the rice! I heard that there are also steel wires that vomited from washing dishes, I have never seen them, anyway, the old ghost said that they can't digest them will spit it out."

That's good, that's good, the two ghosts secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, the ghost has a strong digestion ability, and there will be no beep-vomit." The ghost next to them was amused by their reaction and laughed.

Yuebai's face turned green: "...Please don't mention it, there is a picture."

The ghosts laughed again: "Hahahaha!" After laughing, they hooked their shoulders and put their backs on their backs to take a bath.

At night, Xu Zhaoxi was lying on his bed.

The other ghosts in the house who were working on the construction site were already asleep, and they were all snoring and sleeping because of the day's work.

Xu Zhaoxi's bed was close to the balcony, and from his position he could see the dark sky outside the window.There are no stars and no sun in the underworld. If you are lucky, you can see a moon at night in the middle of every month.

A roommate inquired about this from the foreman who brought them, and told him and Yue Bai while chatting before going to bed.

Recalling the experience of the day carefully, Xu Zhaoxi found that regardless of the subtle differences, being a ghost is actually similar to being a human being. You have to work and live the same way.

When he was alive, he was poor, and at least he had a house, a stable job and a meager savings.The house was bought by his elder brother with a loan when he was in college, and he will pay back the remaining half of the loan after his elder brother died.

It's hard to pay off, and once you die, everything will be wiped out.

Is Xu Zhaoxi regretful?no regrets.As long as I'm with my brother, it's fine even if I start from scratch as a ghost in the underworld.

He raised the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes: I hope to dream about my brother tonight.

……

Xu Zhaoxi and Yue Bai went to the construction site to move bricks for three days.There is no way, the foreman needs to be skilled in scraping bricks, and those without skills can only sell their physical strength.

"Xu Xiaonian, I have received the money!" Yue Bai shouted excitedly from under the bed.

Today is the day when Xu Zhaoxi and Yue Bai left the Ferry City, that is, the seventh day after their death, commonly known as the first seven days.

The roommates who left first said that on the first seven days, every ghost can receive the property burned by their relatives in the yang world—if the relatives burned and burned it correctly.

When I talked about this at the time, my roommate looked very envious: "The ghost house who lived here before was very particular, and I found a special craftsman to make a pile of gold and silver for him, as well as houses, cars and so on. He woke up that morning from Take out a stack of documents from under the pillow, and get rich overnight!"

Situations like this are rare in the underworld.

Because there are not many real craftsmen who are still alive, and even fewer will go to them.

More young people choose to directly buy ghost coins that are printed in batches. The value of the ghost coins should be as high as possible.

On the contrary, the old-fashioned paper money pressed out of yellow paper is still useful. Neither Xu Chaoxi nor Yuebai is very clear about the exact exchange rate, but this is not the point. The point is that Yuebai has received the money!

"There are 1500! It must have been burned by grandpa and grandma," Yue Bai held the money and kissed it, flattered, "What about you, Xu Xiaonian, did you receive it?"

Xu Zhaoxi opened under the pillow, and also saw a few Ming coins, he picked them up and counted, "1635." Counting the deposit, there are 1900.

Naturally, those parents would not burn it for him. They probably didn't even know that he was dead. The money could only be burned by the dean.I don't know what's going on with the dean, as long as he is in good health.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoxi suddenly remembered, by the way, he burns that kind of yellow paper money for his brother every year!At that time, he didn't know which one was useful, so he bought some of each.

Did my brother also receive the money he burned?

Imagine the gentle look in his elder brother's eyes when he received the coins he burned down, and he pursed his lips to hide his sweet little expression.

"Hey hey, windfall, a lucky day has begun!" Under the Yue □□ full of energy, "Xu Xiaonian come down quickly, we have to go out to get the ID card."

Xu Zhaoxi put away the money and got out of bed, and quickly finished washing with Yuebai.Afterwards, Yue Bai brought the bought clothes for a change of clothes, and after the two ghosts went out, they headed in the direction of Meng Po Zhuang with a clear purpose.

There are already many ghosts queuing in front of Meng Pozhuang, and they used to be behind the line.

Yue Bai in front of him turned to talk to him: "Have you brought your room card?" You have to hand in your room card to get your ID card.

Xu Zhaoxi: "Bring it."

Yue Bai: "After paying the money for Meng Po Tang, we still have 3700 in savings. When we arrive in Wangchuan City, we have to find a house to live in first, and then we need to find a job..."

They also want to stay for a while to save enough money. After all, board and lodging is free here, and every day is a net income.

But obviously the two of them were not the only ones who thought of this method.The two ghosts had seen it with their own eyes. The lingering ghost had just stepped out of the gate of the dormitory building, and was escorted away by the ghost soldiers who suddenly appeared.

I heard that if I was caught doing a white job, I would have to pay a fine.

Forget it, don't you just be poor, no one seems to be poor.

As he talked, Yuebai began to lament the difficulty of ghost life and miss his house and mountain.Xu Zhaoxi listened absent-mindedly, and while listening, distractedly looked at the building of the information registration center in the distance.

There seem to be a lot of ghosts around the gate of the building, what are they doing?

After looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything special, and he was about to look away boredly.In the next second, the ghosts crowded outside the door separated to the two sides, and a familiar male ghost came out of the building.

"Brother..." He widened his eyes.

"Ah?" Yue Bai raised his head to look at him inexplicably, but Xu Zhaoxi had already sprinted towards Pei Ji who was in the distance.

"Brother!" Xu Zhaoxi had never run so fast before, her eyes lit up, she ran up to the male ghost and jumped onto the male ghost.

"Chirp~" He kissed the male ghost's face, and rubbed against it intimately. He was both aggrieved and happy, and hugged him tightly, "Brother, I miss you so much~"
