After I was reborn, I became the richest man in the underworld
Chapter 23 Underworld 1
Hell, the gate of hell.
The wind is blowing, and the guard is heavy.The line of ghosts waiting to enter the underworld lined up a mile away.
Zhou Nan led Mu Xi past the long queue and walked towards the main entrance without saying a word.
The ghost soldier at the gate was registering a gray-haired grandmother into the underworld.
Zhou Nan took a closer look, and saw that the ghost soldier was just scribbling on the paper, not registering properly at all, no wonder the waiting line was so long.
The old lady was leaning on a cane with her back arched, her face was pale, and she looked a little anxious, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Nan remembered that the last time Mu Xi accidentally entered the ghost gate, it must be the fault of these ghost soldiers who were negligent.He frowned for a while, and walked towards the ghost soldier who was deserting.
The Ghost Soldier yawned impatiently, glanced at Zhou Nan from the corner of his eye, and said in a long voice without raising his head, "Line up at the back—"
Zhou Nan suppressed his voice: "Master, according to your efficiency, you have to wait in line until tomorrow, right?"
The ghost soldier stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head, looked at Zhou Nan and Mu Xi, spread his palms, and smiled strangely.
"It's okay to think quickly, ten taels of silver, let you go in first."
This channel is specially used for new ghosts entering the underworld. It is the furthest away from the ghost city, but there are buffer barriers along the way, which control the Yin Qi from light to heavy, so that new ghosts can have an adaptation process.Usually, Zhou Nan would never go through the main gate of the ghost gate, he would always go through the side gate.But this time with Mu Xi, he naturally had to choose the easiest path.
Zhou Nan looked at this ghost soldier who didn't know him, and caught a glimpse of half of the embroidered handkerchief protruding from his sleeve.
He said calmly: "Ten taels? How dare you open your mouth like a lion, the top card of Guihualou can't even reach this number in one night..."
The ghost soldier was stunned, and he raised his voice with guilt: "Can't afford it? Hmph, then go to the back and line up. If you can enter the Ming Dynasty in three days, you are lucky."
Mu Xi was a little familiar with the name of Guihualou, as if he had vaguely encountered it when he left the soul last time.At that time, he lost his temper due to his practice, and his five senses were incomplete. He entered the ghost gate by mistake and didn't see anything clearly, it was all based on perception.
Just as Mu Xi was remembering, suddenly the crutches in the hands of the old grandma at the side were loosened, and she fainted to the ground.
He quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Old man, how are you..."
The old woman was panting, already very weak, unable to answer at all.
The ghost soldier glanced at them indifferently, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Zhou Nan: "Do you have ten taels of silver? If not, go to the back and line up."
Zhou Nan's eyes changed suddenly, and he asked forcefully, "Has this old man been at the front for a long time? Because you have no money to bribe you, why don't you let her in?"
The ghost soldier snorted angrily: "You sons, you are going to go to hell and meddle in other people's business, so take care of yourself."
Mu Xi withdrew his gaze, held back his anger, and used spiritual power to restore the old man's physical strength, while pressing down on Jingxue who was about to snatch her sheath at any time.If this was in the human world, he would have used his sword ten times already.
Zhou Nan took another step closer, and said in a calm voice, "It's really an eye-opener. Outsiders think that the salary of a D-level ghost soldier is only ten taels of silver a year. They don't know that this is a fat job."
The ghost soldier never thought that he would be exposed by a new ghost face to face, and suddenly became furious, and slapped the table and stood up: "Bold! What's your name? How can the underworld allow you to be reckless!"
Zhou Nan didn't answer his words, but ordered: "Let this old man in immediately."
Seeing that the new ghost didn't take him seriously, the ghost soldier became even more annoyed, grabbed the whip and whipped him at him.
With a "snap", Zhou Nan held the whip in mid-air with one hand, hooked it with his backhand, and the whip obediently turned around, binding the ghost soldier tightly.
The ghost soldier turned pale with fright, and shouted loudly: "Presumptuous! How dare you touch me! Come on! Push these two newcomers into hell!"
The big movement attracted a group of ghost soldiers, who surrounded Zhou Nan and Mu Xi.
"Arrest them!" The bound ghost soldier ordered angrily.
An older man in the circle of ghost soldiers caught a glimpse of the half of Zhou Nan's waist card exposed between his belt, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
"Ghost Eleventh Young Master Eleventh Young Master, spare your life!"
The elder ghost soldier plopped down on his knees, not daring to lift his head.
He stayed a little longer, and he knew who the ghosts in this underworld were the most difficult to mess with.But... Young Master Ghost Eleven doesn't usually go through this new ghost door, what's going on today?
Hearing the name of Ghost Eleven Young Master, the ghost soldiers panicked and knelt down on the ground, and the one who was bound was so frightened that he breathed his last breath.
Zhou Nan cast a glance at him and asked the other ghost soldiers, "Who is the captain of the guard today?"
The elder ghost soldier who recognized Eleventh Ghost had a trembling voice: "Yes... I'm here."
Zhou Nan frowned: "Why are you still standing there? Do you need me to teach you how to do it?"
"Yes!"
The old ghost soldier was quite clever, so he quickly asked his subordinates to carry the fainted old man inside.Then when he was about to deal with the bound ghost soldiers, Zhou Nan called him coldly: "Wait a minute."
He was so scared that the weapon in his hand fell to the ground again.
"Eleventh Young Master, what other orders do you have?"
Zhou Nan pointed to the ghost soldier who was tied up by Wuhuada, and asked him: "This is your subordinate today, right? How to deal with it?"
The old ghost soldier trembled and said: "According to Article 320 of the law of the underworld, those who use their position to amass wealth shall be sent to hell for a year..."
Zhou Nan sternly said, "How many years?"
"One... one year..."
"One year? Who said one year?"
The old ghost soldier was already sweating profusely and said incoherently: "This... I...according to the law of the underworld... I should...be sentenced to one year..."
"As soon as I came, he asked for ten taels. After this day, I don't know how many ten taels he can get. Besides, he not only collected money, but also neglected his duties and refused to save him. Tell me, how much can this add up to? How many years in prison?"
"The little one is confused! The little one will do it right away!"
He quickly winked, and the rest of the ghost soldiers were so frightened that they quickly dragged the five-flowered one down.
"As for you..."
Zhou Nan narrowed his eyes and deliberately dragged out the ending sound.
The old ghost soldier shuddered again: "The little one is here!"
Zhou Nan looked back at the queue to enter the underworld, and asked, "How long will it take for these new ghosts to enter the underworld?"
The old ghost soldier rolled his eyes: "The little supervisor must work overtime, and all the staff will surely go to hell before midnight tonight."
"Zi Shi? It's been too long."
Zhou Nan knew that such a long team had probably accumulated new ghosts for several days, and these officers and soldiers must have not worked hard.
"This...the little one will send more people, and try to finish it before Haishi."
Zhou Nan paused, the old ghost soldier thought he was satisfied, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Master Mu," Zhou Nan turned to Mu Xi who was frowning all the time, "How long do you think is appropriate?"
Mu Xi was full of anger just now, looked at the new ghost team that was almost a mile long, and said coldly: "Half an hour."
"Ah?! What..." The old ghost soldier's eyes widened.
Zhou Nan smiled at Mu Xi, and then said to the old ghost soldier: "You heard me, you only have half an hour, and these new ghosts must all go to hell."
"It's not... Young Master Eleven, this half hour is too..."
Just as he was about to defend himself, he met Eleven Young Master's eyes with a hidden smile, and immediately shut up.
Seeing that he was finally being honest, Zhou Nan felt relieved to take Mu Xi to the ghost town.
When Mu Xi came last time, he was a soul, and he didn't feel anything wrong, but this time when he got close to the underworld, a heavy sense of oppression followed.
In order to relieve his discomfort, he rarely took the initiative to find a topic: "Why didn't you just take out your badge and talk nonsense with them for so long?"
Although it seems to be chatting, the tone is also fierce.
Zhou Nan laughed and said, "How can you show people such an important waist card?"
After saying that, the two entered the ghost town.
The ghost town is a lively place, and it is the most human-like place in the entire underworld.
The shops and restaurants on the main street are full of ghosts and ghosts. At first glance, they are no different from the human world.
Mu Xi was naturally suspicious: "Why is this ghost city like this..."
He wanted to ask why this ghost town didn't look ghostly. In his perception, the underworld should be barren and dark.But in the middle of the question, I suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to say so.
Zhou Nan heard something different and turned to look at him with a warm smile.
"Does Master Mu want to ask, why is this ghost city not a little ghostly, but similar to the human world?"
Mu Xi's thoughts were seen through, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Zhou Nan didn't wait for his answer, and continued, "I was also very curious when I first came here. In fact, this ghost city was only built in the past ten years. Ghosts who come from the human world, as long as they are not evil spirits, can directly enter this ghost city. Waiting for reincarnation. But the waiting time varies. If there are plagues, famines, and wars, and there are many ghosts coming in in a short period of time, the reincarnation may have to wait for ten, eight, or even decades."
Zhou Nan has been a Ghost Eleven Young Master for the past few years, helping the ghost town to expand year after year, and every year Hades has a headache as to which land can be vacated for the new ghosts to build a residential area.
The two walked side by side on the main street. Mu Xi looked around the long street, but no ghost noticed them.The ghost woman and the ghost peddler around were bargaining, except that their faces were paler, and they were no different from people.
Mu Xi looked away, and thoughtfully said: "So the more depressed the human world is, the more lively the ghost city will be?"
"That's right. At the beginning of the Six Realms, the underworld was just a post station. People came and left, and they couldn't even stay for the next day. Now people come, but they live longer than when they were in the human world. People are the same, in fact, these are just appearances.”
"Appearance?"
"This ghost city looks peaceful, but in fact the only function is to manage these ghosts well. It is an illusion created for them. After entering the underworld and becoming ghosts, more or less five senses are incomplete. For example, some have lost their ear consciousness, like deaf people. dumb; some have lost their vision and become blind ghosts. Some have lost all five senses and can’t perceive anything... It’s better to return to the human world and become a lonely ghost. That’s why there is a business of selling souls.”
Mu Xi didn't answer any more, and fell into deep thought on the ghost street. It took a while to think about the business, and turned to Zhou Nan: "What are you going to do now? How can I find them?"
"I'll go to Bai Wuchang to inquire first, and you can just wait for me." He paused, pointing to a shop not far away, "That's Youzhu Pavilion, the No. [-] Book Collection Pavilion in the underworld, if you are bored, you can go hang around there."
Mu Xi nodded. He had long heard that there was a library in the Underworld, which had the largest collection of strange books in the Six Realms, but he never had the chance to come.
Just as he was about to turn around, Zhou Nan suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, and put the waist badge into his palm.
"Take this, and if you're in trouble, say it's mine."
Although the ghost city is very safe, he is a little worried, always afraid that something will happen to Mu Xi.With this waist card, all the ghosts in the underworld will be a little bit afraid.
Mu Xi froze for a moment, this was the first time he held his hand in this life.
Like thousands of times before, he took his hand and stuffed all kinds of strange gadgets into his hand.But after only being dazed for a moment, he immediately regained his senses.
"No need."
Of course Zhou Nan would not allow him to refuse, and firmly held his hand: "Take it. The ghost city is not absolutely safe. This card is very precious, don't lose it."
Mu Xi has never been used to accepting other people's kindness, so he cannot be given any leeway.
Faced with the sudden rejection, Mu Xi wanted to push back, but his left hand was tightly controlled by Zhou Nan, and he didn't even have room to resist. If he used his other hand to assist at this time, he would appear to be too weak.
After a short and rigorous thought, he frowned and chose to give up, but he still replied: "I won't pay if I lose it."
Now that Zhou Nan was at ease, he turned around and whistled and walked towards Bai Wuchang's Xie Mansion.
