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

To be precise, the house is a brick and wood mixed structure.

The air in Xiaoxi Village is humid, so the house uses bricks and stones to raise the foundation height, and the wooden buildings are on the top.

Xu Zhaoxi pushed open the door, it was getting late outside, so the light in the room was a little dim.He stepped into the house and searched the wall at the door. When he came across a protruding switch, he pressed it hard.

"Click", the light source lights up.

He glanced at the position subconsciously, and saw that what he was pressing with his fingers was a white bone hand!

Xu Zhaoxi: "..."

The palm of the white bone is sunken in the wall, with the palm facing up, and the four fingers representing the switch are slightly raised upwards, as if they can snap the extended hand at any time!

Silently retracting the index finger pressed against the bone, Xu Zhaoxi touched the position of the heart on his chest, as if beating faster.Hey, there is still a heartbeat after death?

Then look up at the lamps hanging in the living room.

A row of 10 white bone skulls formed a circle and radiated light—the light bulb in the real-reality version's brain "ding" lit up.

"The ghost who rented a house last time was very funny." He said to himself.

The first floor of the whole house is the living room, kitchen, and tool room, the second floor has the master and guest bedrooms for rest, and there are one bathroom upstairs and one downstairs.

The kitchen is a brick and wood structure, and there are basic tools such as pots and pans, as long as it is cleaned and the ingredients and seasonings are purchased, it can be used.

Xu Zhaoxi moved the bought things into the house, took out the mop, towel, and water basin for cleaning, and went upstairs with them.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor.

There is no sun in the underworld, so it doesn't matter whether it is facing the sun or not. Xu Zhaoxi took the larger one as the master bedroom, which had an empty bed and wardrobe.

Standing at the door, he carefully looked at the extra large double bed in the middle of the room: "It's so big, it's big enough to sleep with my brother~" The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he nodded in satisfaction.

No need to change the bed, save money!

Then mop the floor with a wet mop, put away the dust cover covering the bed and wardrobe and put it aside, wipe it with a slightly damp towel, and wipe it four or five times.

When the cleaning was finally finished, even Xu Zhaoxi, who is not easily tired now, was a little tired, breathing slightly and panting.

But looking at the brand-new room, it's worth being tired!

The room that had just been cleaned was damp, Xu Zhaoxi was not in a hurry to make the bed, and planned to wait for a while to dry.Taking advantage of this time, he went downstairs and closed the door, and brought up the bedding and sheets he had bought.

It was completely dark outside the window, and the lights were still on in the whiter brick house not far away, and they were also not asleep.

Xu Zhaoxi leaned against the window and looked at it for a while.

The stream that originated from nowhere made a bend when it flowed near the house. After years of water erosion, the bend turned into an irregularly shaped pond, which is the small lake that the female ghost in charge of them said today.

The small lake lies quietly in the distance to the right of the house, and the stream flows quietly.Suddenly, a little green light gradually lit up on both sides of the creek, connecting them together, dyeing the stream water into a faint green.

"That's..." He opened his eyes slightly in surprise, wondering, "Fireflies?"

But fireflies will always remain motionless?

It was too late, and her brother was not there, so Xu Zhaoxi didn't go out to watch.After checking that the room was almost dry, he made his bed and went to sleep.

"Wait for the day after brother comes back." He closed his eyes and said silently.

……

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the sky is bright.

Xu Zhaoxi, who woke up early, walked out of the bathroom after washing up.

Yuebai stepped on the stairs at the top of the stairs in front of him, raised his eyes and rushed over when he saw him, grabbing his shoulders and shaking violently:

"Xu Xiaonian, did you see that the riverside was glowing last night!"

"Stop—" Xu Zhaoxi was speechless as he broke free from the two claws clamping his shoulders, "I see, I see, you don't have to be so excited."

Yue Bai stared at him intently, curious: "Have you gone to see it? What is it?"

"It's too late, so I didn't look at it," Xu Zhaoxi said nonchalantly, walking past him, "If you're curious, you can go and take a look now."

Of course Yue Bai followed behind him.

The two ghosts went around the stream.The air by the stream was slightly cool, and the stream was gurgling. They found nothing except the lush and unnamed aquatic plants growing on both sides.

Did it hide during the day?Yue Bai thought to himself, pawing and pulling on the ground with his feet at will, causing the strings of water plants like wind chimes to sway uncontrollably.

"Why don't you come and see me at night?" Xu Zhaoxi asked.

Yue Bai hesitated.It's so dark at night, and they don't have flashlights...

The ghost who asked the question knew it, and naturally skipped the topic and moved forward: "It's just time to go out, let's go around."

They first followed the stream to the lower reaches of the creek.After walking for about 20 minutes, the channel of the stream widened from less than one meter at the beginning to more than ten meters, and the stream became a small river.

At the outlet, the river flows into a wider river - Wangchuan.The river of Wangchuan is wider, hundreds of meters at its widest point, the water flow is gentle, and it looks majestic and vast.

Xu Zhaoxi was fascinated by the sight, Yue Bai turned around and motioned him to look at the other side of the river.

A dozen or so ghosts gathered on the hilltop far away across the river, busily busy, as if they were repairing houses.

Yue Bai: "Do you want to go there?"

Xu Zhaoxi pondered: "There is no rush, there will be plenty of time in the future."

The two ghosts turned around and walked back, and walked to the vicinity of the dwarf hill to look at the ground. There are more or less weeds growing in the 20 mu of cultivated land. They didn't plan to plant all of them. They planned to plant 5 mu of land first.

There are a few orange trees growing here and there in the woods on the dwarf hill. It is the season of ripe oranges, and the fruits are yellow and orange hanging on the branches.

Yue Bai was so envious, he jumped up and picked one by virtue of his height, and without peeling the skin, he broke open half and handed it to Xu Zhaoxi.

The inside of the oranges is completely ripe, and the thin peel is torn apart by the external force, exposing the brighter orange-yellow flesh inside.

Breaking off a piece and stuffing it into his mouth, it was sour and sweet, Xu Zhaoxi narrowed his eyes.Yue Bai next to it finished eating in two or three bites, and after swallowing it all, he asked belatedly, "Is it not poisonous?"

"Even if it's poisonous, it won't kill you," Xu Zhaoxi said slowly, and stuffed another piece of fruit, "The runaway ghost was poked by a bull's head and survived."

Yue Bai: "It's true."

The oranges tasted good, so the two ghosts decided to pick a few more and take them home.After turning into ghosts, they became very hungry, and they didn't feel anything in their stomachs even if they didn't eat breakfast.

Yuebai followed Xu Zhaoxi back to his house with Juzi in his arms.Randomly cleared out a set of tables and chairs that could be used, and the two ghosts sat in the living room eating oranges while chatting and discussing what to do next.

You must be looking for a job. While looking for a job, clear a few acres of land to grow vegetables. You can ask your neighbors what to grow.

Then there is saving money.

The short-term goal is to buy all kinds of daily necessities, not to mention TVs and computers, but mobile phones must be bought.The long-term goal is to save enough money to hire a "ghost hunting company" and help Yuebai find his parents and grandparents.

As for now.

Xu Zhaoxi got up and announced: "Clean up first, start from the kitchen, and go to the town to buy daily necessities in the afternoon."

"Well said! Clap clap clap!" Yue Bai exaggeratedly applauded.

The two ghosts worked together for the whole morning to clean Xu Zhaoxi's house. After finishing their work, Yue Bai slumped on the floor and didn't want to talk.

To say how tired the body is?No, mainly because of tiredness.

Boring and repetitive work is really fatal to a ghost like him who doesn't like to do housework.

Staring straight at the skull on top of his head, Yue Bai ignored his fear and said weakly, "I'll just have a place to sleep, and I won't clean my house."

He was dirty, and Xu Zhaoxi didn't want to touch him after washing it for nothing. After hearing this, he thought for a while: "Anyway, you don't fire for the time being. We can slowly clean up your side later."

Sighing deeply, Yue Bai reluctantly said, "...All right."

After resting for a while in the afternoon, the two ghosts went to the town to buy ingredients and seasonings: oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs, peppers, and some pork.

Some time ago, many pigs died in the yang world, but now the underworld is flooded with pork, and the price of meat is very cheap.

This made the two ghosts very happy.If the price of meat in the Underworld is the same as in the Yangshi, they probably have to switch to vegetarianism.

The types of food in the underworld are basically the same as those in the yang world, and there are also special products. I heard that they have special effects. Unfortunately, Xu Zhaoxi and the others can't afford them.

After shopping, they were not in a hurry this time, so they didn't call Xiaosanlun when they came back.The two ghosts carried their things and walked back at a leisurely pace. It took about half an hour to walk from Fugui Town to Xiaoxi Village.

After carrying the things to the kitchen, Xu Zhaoxi put the seasonings into the cupboard according to the type, and Yue Bai followed him eagerly: "I didn't eat in the morning and at noon. Can we have dinner earlier in the evening?"

Glancing at a greedy ghost behind, Xu Zhaoxi said, "Sure." Then he went to get a container to hold rice and prepare to cook.

"Then I'll go to the mountain to pick two oranges for after-dinner fruit," Yue Bai said, before running away, "By the way, I'll find a ghost to ask what to grow in the field!"

There was no second ghost in the room, Xu Zhaoxi still cleaned the rice at the speed she liked.

His elder brother passed away the year he graduated from university, and Xu Zhaoxi couldn't get over the fact of "losing his elder brother" for a long time afterwards.

It was at that time that Xu Zhaoxi slowly relaxed his mood by cooking and serving potted plants under the advice of others.

When he is calm, he will feel that he is very close to his brother.

Thinking of the past, Xu Zhaoxi rolled his eyes.After the rice was put into the pot, he adjusted the time and took out two cucumbers to wash.

For dishes, he plans to make stir-fried pork with green peppers and patted cucumbers.Stir-fried meat with green peppers is easy to prepare. If you don’t have chili sauce for cucumbers, you can only add some sesame oil to mix.

Yuebai came back when Xu Zhaoxi had mixed cucumbers and was cutting green peppers.

With an orange in his mouth, he said to Xu Zhaoxi inarticulately: "I asked clearly, the ghost on the side of the highway said that if you have no experience, you can grow cabbage, lettuce, and water spinach. The growth cycle is short, and it will mature in about a month." , and it’s simple, so you don’t need to be too careful.”

"Should we just grow these three?" he suggested.

Xu Zhaoxi nodded: "Okay." Avoiding the orange that Yuebai handed to his mouth.

Yue Bai simply put it in his mouth and leaned against the side: "I heard another interesting thing. That ghost uncle said that the underworld has no seasonal changes, and the climate is determined by the location."

"That is to say, the cold place is always cold, and the hot place is always hot." After eating the last piece, he clapped his hands, "Our Wangchuan City has probably been at this temperature throughout the year."

Xu Zhaoxi raised his head in surprise, and after thinking about it, he said: "It makes sense, there is no sun in the underworld, and maybe there is no revolution and rotation. But there should be no cities that are too hot or too cold. Those places have been marked off and turned into hell."

There is a small ice hell under the hands of King Chu Jiang.

The key point of Yuebai is in the previous sentence: "No rotation? No way, the underworld also has day and night." As we all know, the division of day and night is determined by the rotation of the earth.

"But it's hard to see the moon in the underworld," Xu Zhaoxi said. He was lucky enough to see the moon in the middle of the month. "I prefer to see the moon at its peak in the middle of each month. For some reason, the two worlds of the yang world and the underworld will overlap."
