Underworld Character Simulator [Liao Zhai]
Chapter 99
The dark world of the underworld is gray everywhere, with little green will-o'-the-wisps illuminating the surroundings.
Ghosts of men, women, young and old, with missing arms and legs, walked slowly through the gate of hell.Set foot on Huangquan Road.Along the way, some ghosts kept crying, and most of the ghosts showed their reluctance for Yangjian, so that the ghost messengers among them would yell at them from time to time, telling them to leave quickly.
These ghosts need to rush to the palace of Hades, who will judge good and evil merits and demerits, and judge whether they can go to reincarnation or whether they need to be sent to hell.
An old woman with a bald forehead and fluttering white hair behind her head followed tremblingly with a cane.She walked slower and slower, and then she made sure that the ghost servants among the ghost crowd were not looking at her, and immediately fled the team with a bowed body.
After all, she wasn't really dead, so she couldn't really go through the procedure of reincarnation in the underworld, could she?
Although the purpose of her coming to the underworld was to sue, but the complaint must not be empty-handed. She decided to go to Xi Fangping and Ao Yan first.
After all, when Nading Chenghuang arrived in the underworld, the ghost knows if he has already turned black and white in Hades. All in all, it is better to be cautious if it is his home game.
Simply, the underworld is really big. There are also large and small ghost villages and ghost cities. Each ghost city corresponds to a king of hell, and the city and nearby villages are built around the palace of the king of hell.The residents inside are some lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, or ghosts who have not yet reached the time for reincarnation.
In a dark alley, a white-haired old woman was walking slowly forward with a cane. The underworld is extremely dark, and the gray mist is a vision of too much shadow. The wind blows, and the alley In the middle of the room, you can vaguely see the white round paper money being rolled up and falling down.
Because day and night cannot be distinguished here, the most popular lighting tools in the underworld are candles and oil lamps. There is a paper lantern hanging in front of a shop at the entrance of the alley, emitting a green light.
At first glance, this picture is already very intrusive, but this is not the end.
suddenly!A few pinches of green will-o'-the-wisps appeared at the end of the alley and flew towards the old man's house rapidly. In the originally dead alley, there were several children's giggling and crisp laughter.
If others were prepared to be startled by the sudden sudden appearance of the will-o'-the-wisps, the white-haired woman continued to walk slowly as if she didn't feel anything.
But the will-o'-the-wisps surrounded them, and the sound of children giggling and laughing could be heard in the air.
"Look at her, she looks so ugly."
"Ugly as a ghost!"
"You are stupid, aren't we also ghosts?"
"Yes."
"But we are much prettier than her!"
The stooped Gu Yunchu paused, then raised his head suddenly, revealing the ugly old face of the terrifying grandma and said fiercely.
"Little kid, don't you know it's impolite to call someone ugly in person?!"
The will-o'-the-wisps dispersed with a whoosh.
"Wow, she's so fierce!"
"Yeah, it scared me to death."
"It looks even uglier this way."
"She doesn't seem to want us to call her ugly."
"But she's ugly."
Listening to the childish voice, these little ghosts are probably not very old, and they have not learned the hypocrisy of adults at all. They seem to be very incomprehensible to the behavior of the white-haired woman in front of her who does not accept reality.
Hey, what a bunch of brats who have never been beaten by society!
Gu Yunchu rolled his eyes as he walked.
"You guys are the only ones who look good? Let's go, I don't want to talk to you brats who haven't even grown their hair yet!"
"It's not that we don't have all hair, we have hair, look!"
There was a group of will-o'-the-wisps who were not happy, and fell to the ground and instantly turned into a milk doll less than three years old, wearing a red bellyband, standing in front of Gu Yunchu with bare feet, and proudly patted the small knob on his head.
Then the rest of the will-o'-the-wisps fell to the ground one after another, turning into children, and the oldest was only five years old, so he could be called a baby.
"Me too. My hair is much better."
"My hair is the longest!"
"Mine was tied up with a red ribbon by Auntie."
Gu Yunchu couldn't help raising his eyebrows as the plump little doll was in front.
[Hehe, these little radish heads are quite cute. 】
However, in the next second, someone in this group of cute little dolls seemed to have discovered a new world.
"Hey, look, she seems to be the only one with no hair!"
"Really, she doesn't even have strange hair!"
"Bare, so ugly!"
Gu Yunchu: [... I take back what I just said! 】
"I didn't expect to meet you cute little kids here. As the saying goes, meeting is fate..."
The white-haired woman took out a beautiful sugar figurine from the glass mirror with a half-smile.
The eyes of the little ghosts were immediately attracted by the sugar figure.I was so greedy that I couldn't help but poke my mouth.
The white-haired lady smiled and said, "Does it look good?"
The little ghosts nodded immediately.
White-haired woman: "Does it smell sweet?"
The kid nodded fiercely again.
White-haired woman: "Do you want to have a bite?"
The kid's eyes were shining brightly: "I want to!"
"Oh, then you can think about it. I won't give it to you!"
The white-haired woman changed her face in a second, and bit the sugar man's head hard.While eating with a click, he said deliberately.
"It's so sweet, it melts in your mouth when you eat it, it tastes so good, I want to eat another one after eating one! The neighbors next door are all crying!"
I don't know if the neighbor next door is crying or not, anyway, the little ghosts are already crying.
Seeing the little ghosts running home crying, the younger sister of the system was speechless: [You are an adult, do you care about children? 】
Gu Yunchu snorted.
【I'm telling them that society is dangerous, and they must always be wary of candies handed over by strangers, because it is likely to be a despicable trap. 】
System sister: [Despicable?Are you talking about yourself? 】
【No, I'm not ordinary mean. 】
The white-haired woman walked out of the alley slowly with her back bent.
[I belong to the old lady leaning against the wall to drink porridge, vile and shameless! (No teeth on the back wall)]
System sister: ... Then you are really awesome.Want to give you a certificate?
Then, in the ghost town, there was an old white-haired woman quietly asking ghosts.
"Young man, do you know Xi Fangping? I'm his grandma. I got lost with him."
"Young man, have you seen a young man named Xi Fangping? Oh, I am the aunt of his uncle's brother-in-law. His family asked me to find him."
"Girl, have you ever seen a young man named Xi Fangping who is so tall and thin? I... I am the great-grandmother of his aunt's nephew. We agreed to let this young man accompany me today The street, and I accidentally lost him? What? I lost it? Impossible, I am one hundred and eighty, how could someone at such an age get lost, he must have lost it!"
Because of the particularity of Ao Yan's identity, Gu Yunchu knew in his heart that he would find a way to lurk, so he asked a lot of ghosts about Xi Fangping on the surface.Secretly observe the surrounding scenery from time to time, to see if he can find the mark Ao Yan left for himself.
It's a pity that after inquiring for a full hour, I didn't get any news.This ghost town is really too big. Obviously, such a small case is not a possibility that everyone knows about it.
Afterwards, Gu Yunchu found another way and started to inquire about the news of the rich man named Yang, but he did meet someone he had heard of, but unfortunately, he only knew that the rich man died recently and came down here, and he was very generous.I don't know the rest.
Fortunately, at this time, a kind ghost pointed out a clear path, saying that there was a shopkeeper's son in a restaurant in the city, nicknamed Bao Inquiry, who usually worked as a waiter in his restaurant. He knew the latest and most lively things in this ghost town, so you must be right if you ask him. !
Gu Yunchu's eyes lit up when he heard it.After thanking the good-hearted ghost, I started to go to the restaurant happily.
Finally, she has a reliable source. After asking people all over the place, she will pretend to be Xi Fangping and his family tree!
After walking for a long time, Gu Yunchu finally found the restaurant. The restaurant looked quite grand, but instead of the festive red lanterns hanging in the world, they were white paper lanterns with green light.
The ghosts that can go in and come out are pale and blue, and the atmosphere is very underworld.
A ghost golden rooster missing a leg stood alone at the door, smiling at every guest who came over.
"This guest officer, please!"
"There is a seat! There is a seat!"
"Everyone, please come inside, the good dishes are full of flavor!"
Gu Yunchu was about to go there on crutches, but the younger sister of the system looked at the grand restaurant, and saw that the people who went in and out were all well-dressed, rich or expensive ghost officials, and suddenly thought of something.
[By the way, you don't seem to have any paper money for dead people, do you?The sound of this restaurant seems to be very popular, there is no money here... Will people be willing to take the time to give you news? 】
Gu Yunchu paused: That's right.
Most of the waiters in places like restaurants and teahouses are well-informed and know a lot of things, so many of them have a side job, selling news to earn extra money.
If it doesn’t cost you a penny to inquire about a famous name like this, maybe people will ignore you at all. After all, collecting information itself takes time and effort.
Gu Yunchu hesitated at the entrance of the restaurant, and suddenly seemed to think of something, ran to a small alley, looked around, and indeed saw a few scattered pieces of white paper money in this alley.
The old woman happily picked up the money.
[Look, isn't there money here? 】
The system sister reminded.
[Although I really don't want to pour cold water on you, I must say that no ghosts will pick up the money if it falls in the ground. The purchasing power in the underworld might be small.What you pick up may not be enough. 】
Gu Yunchu scratched his head in distress.
[But there is no other way, anyway, just to inquire about news, if you pick up a little more, it should be enough, right?If it really doesn't work, I'll give up this old face and sell it badly? 】
System younger sister: ... This old face of the scary grandma has sold you out.
After some effort, Gu Yunchu finally collected a stack of miserable white round paper money.She turned around and walked into the restaurant, and immediately a waiter came up to serve her.
But the white-haired woman waved her hand, saying that she didn't come to eat, she just came to find Bao to inquire about things.
The shopkeeper understood this in seconds, and immediately called Bao to inquire.
Bao inquired was a tall, thin young ghost with bright eyes. When he came, he first looked at the clothes of the white-haired woman. Seeing that she was only wearing a strange and thin white dress, he immediately frowned in distaste.
"Old woman, you want to find me? Let's talk about it first, and you have to give me this when you ask me about something."
He said rubbing his fingers.
Gu Yunchu thumped in his heart, it's over, this guy looks like he's just blindsided by money, I'm afraid she won't be able to sell her old face.
But she still nodded honestly.
"I brought money here, and I will definitely not let you talk about it for nothing."
After she finished speaking, she took it out of her sleeve with difficulty, and put a stack of paper money on the table with trembling hands.
"I just want to ask you about a rich man named Yang and a young man named Xi Fangping. This... do you think these are enough?"
When Bao inquired and saw the other party take out a stack of money, his eyes lit up at first, but after seeing the true face of the paper money, his eyes were suddenly dead.
After a moment.
The tall, lanky young ghost pushed and shoved an ugly white-haired old woman.
"Where is the old lunatic, you have the nerve to take out a pile of useless waste paper for money? You can take it home and burn it for fun!"
"Hey! Don't push me."
Gu Yunchu grabbed the door frame and refused to leave.
"Why isn't this money? Isn't this the paper money we use for the dead?"
Bao inquired and snorted coldly.
"Whether you really don't understand or you don't understand, the money is also divided into real and fake. I don't know if this is fake money made by that profiteer who sneaked and played tricks in Yangjian!"
Someone originally wanted to fight for the poor old woman.As soon as she heard that the old lady came to the restaurant with fake money to spend, she immediately stopped in her tracks.
Gu Yunchu was taken aback.
After a long time, it turned out to be fake money, no wonder no one picked it up!
But you can't blame her, can you?
Who would have thought that there are counterfeit coins in the underworld, too outrageous, right? !
Damn, thanks to the fact that she just picked them up in a foolish way, she really lost all her old face before selling it.
Suddenly, a voice came from the store.
"Little Er, check out!"
Gu Yunchu, who was scratching the door frame, saw that the guest took out several heavy gold ingots and handed them over.She immediately had a flash of inspiration.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
She grabbed the door frame with one hand and took out an ingot of gold from her bosom.
"Look, how about I give you this?"
Seeing that Bao Wenwen stopped, the white-haired woman immediately held the cane in her hand, her back was no longer hunched, and she straightened her back, exuding the radiance of being rich is self-confidence.
If she knew she could pay the bill with gold, it's not like she can't afford it!
Originally thought that the next step would be to invite Bao Inquiry to nod and bow down to invite him in again, but in the next moment, Bao Inquiry continued to push her in disgust.
"Sure enough, you are an old lunatic. Who wants your broken gold? Go, go, I have to work, I don't have time to talk to you!"
"What are you doing?"
Gu Yunchu was startled.
"Didn't that person give you the gold just now?"
I will accept the gold that guy gives, but not what she gives?Why?Hers is bigger than that guy's too!
Bao Wenqu cursed and cursed, but his actions were not too rough, he just said impatiently.
"It's a genuine gold ingot, can it compare to the gold in your world?"
What is the Yangjian not the Yangjian?Isn't it all gold?
Gu Yunchu wanted to ask again, but one who didn't pay attention was dragged out of the store by Bao inquiring.Immediately after that, a guy blocked the door and refused to let her in.
How is this inexplicable?
Gu Yunchu left in a daze, and it took him a cup of tea to figure out the reason.
First of all, the money used in the underworld is different from the money in the yang world. Otherwise, why burn paper money for ancestor worship in the yang world?Aren't you afraid that the ghosts below have no money to spend?
Secondly, these paper money must go through a certain process before it can be turned into money for ghosts in the underworld, which contains a trace of yin.This is the anti-counterfeiting mark, and the remaining unqualified paper money is all counterfeit money.is unusable, probably to control inflation in the underworld.
In addition, the gold ingots used by the customer just now were made from ingots made of paper and burned.Because everyone burns gold ingots and no one burns silver ingots, so there is no silver ingots in the underworld, and this is the situation where gold ingots are used to pay for meals.
Of course, it is also because ghosts do not need to eat every day, and eating is a luxury, so a meal costs a lot of money.
The gold, silver and jewelry in the Yangjian are not so popular in the underworld, because the underworld is heavy with yin, and things in the yang are easily corroded by the yin. To put it bluntly, these treasures in the underworld are not easy to preserve and will continue to depreciate as time goes by.Ordinary people pay attention to the truth, and they all like things that increase in value, and no one likes things that depreciate.
That is to say, the yin gods like Ding Chenghuang who run between the underworld and the yang will like the gold, silver and jewelry in the yang, because they can be used.
Of course, it's not that these can't be exchanged into the currency of the underworld, it's just that the exchange rate... Gu Yunchu's face turned blue when he heard this, and the savings he had finally saved would be enough to eat a few meals in the underworld if he exchanged them.
At first, she thought she was a little rich woman, but she never expected that her assets would shrink in the blink of an eye.
It's really the difference between red bills and Zimbabwean dollars!
This world really doesn't want her poor old woman to live!
Gu Yunchu was overly sad, and sat down at the entrance of the alley.
[Tongtong, do you think I will go back and ask Chen Su and the others to give me some paper money? 】
No one told her that when she went to the underworld to fight for justice, she had to burn some paper money for herself first!
This world is so real!
The younger sister of the system suppressed her laughter: [Hey, be more careful in your next life. 】
Gu Yunchu who heard the laughter of an unscrupulous system: [... Is this going to the next life soon?In fact, my wife, I still want to fight for a dog in my life. 】
She began to think about how she could quickly earn enough consulting fees, and the first thing she thought of was food. After all, the latest news she got was that food in the underworld is very expensive.
But then she rummaged all over her body before remembering that not long ago, she had Xiao Shan Gao as snacks, but now they have been taken away by Ao Yan, and she has eaten the only sugar figurines left, only two Zongzi candy, but no matter how expensive the food in the underworld is, it is impossible for two Zongzi candies to sell for sky-high prices!
Jingle!
Just when Gu Yunchu was thinking hard, something hit the bluestone board, and after a crisp sound, something rolled and rolled, and finally touched the sole of the white-haired woman's shoe and stopped.
The white-haired woman picked up the underworld copper plate in a daze. If the round paper money she picked up before was real, then they should look like this.
But in front of her, the person who threw money had disappeared, and the ghosts on the street came and went, except for the dark sky and the white and green lanterns hanging everywhere on the side of the road.It seems to be no different from Yangjian.
There were tears in the corners of Gu Yunchu's eyes: [... Everything, I seem to be treated like a beggar again! 】
Jingle!Jingle!There were two more beeps.
[Be confident, remove the seeming. 】
The system sister said seriously.
【And... did you take advantage of me not to place my talents in strange places?Anyway, if you just sit on the street like this when you are in Yangjian, the business will not be as good as it is now. 】
Gu Yunchu, who has a very strange talent: ...I'm heartbroken, old iron.JPG
Just at this time, the little ghosts who had been made to cry by Gu Yunchu before found her.
"What is she doing?"
"Looks like you're begging for food?"
"I know, she is a beggar woman!"
"Mother said beggars are very pitiful."
"But she can eat sugar man, is that pitiful?"
The oldest, five-year-old, took a sniff.
"She is very pitiful. I went back and told my mother. My mother said that she is so old, has no hair, and is very pitiful alone. I am not allowed to bully such an old man when I see her. I am also not allowed to call her ugly."
The rest of the little ghosts were taught immediately.Then a child dawdled.
"Mother gave me a penny today and said it was saved so that I can buy candy later."
"My mother also gave it."
"My mother gave me two pennies!"
Little kids, you look at me, I look at you.
The biggest one spoke again.
"After all, she doesn't even have hair, it's too poor. Shall we give her some money?"
As he said that, he walked not far away with his short legs, and carefully threw a penny over.
When the other children saw it, they followed suit and threw a penny.
Gu Yunchu, who thought he was about to be ridiculed, was so moved that he was about to cry.
Although they still laughed at her for having no hair, they were all good kids.
She couldn't help waving to the children, gesturing for them to come over.The children hesitated for a moment, and approached cautiously.
Some kid was curious. "What did you call us for?"
Gu Yunchu was moved with tears.
"First of all, I have to declare that I am not hairless, you see, I still have a little hair!"
The younger sister of the system who thought she could see some touching scene: ...Can't you forget your hair at a time like this? !
But then Gu Yunchu took out his only two zongzi candies left.
"I was wrong just now, this is for you."
The little ghosts were surprised. "Wow, it's sugar!"
The biggest brat said vigilantly.
"Give it to us really? Don't lie to us?"
"It's really for you."
Gu Yunchu put the sugar on his hand and rubbed his head by the way.
"Sorry, there are only two, but you can break them up and share them."
The brats don’t think there’s anything to be sorry about. After all, the copper coins in the underworld are not as powerful as the copper coins in the yang world. Their few pennies can’t buy such two pieces of candy!
They took the candy excitedly, giggled and ran away.
Gu Yunchu gritted his teeth: [Okay, now I have to work hard to make money. 】
The younger sister of the system was startled: 【Are you really going to beg? 】
[Are you kidding, I have hands and feet, how can I do such a thing? 】
Gu Yunchu turned his head and picked up a very fast brick and stone, then stood at the intersection and started shouting.
"Come and have a look!"
"Life is not easy being a street performer!"
"The hundred-year-old woman's iron head smashes the bricks! Everyone who has money will win a money market, and those who have no money will win a personal game!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. After all, an old woman doesn't need to work so hard, does she?But not waiting for anyone to stop it.I saw the old woman picked up the stone and slammed it on her forehead a few times after she finished speaking.
Baimaopo's physical defense is full, the oily skin is not broken at all, and the specially selected thin and crisp stones are broken in response!
Everyone's panicked eyes widened.
Such a bald forehead, such an iron head!
Half an hour later, the white-haired woman went to the restaurant again tremblingly with a cane, probably because she was overwhelmed by her steely will (head). This time, she finally got the information about the surname Yang from Bao inquiring Rich people's residence, activity range and other information.
Although he still didn't find out about Xi Fangping's whereabouts, he got a pleasant surprise. The guests at the next table happened to talk about the news that they suspected of seeing a figure crawling out of the Wangchuan River not long ago.
Everyone who heard this thought it was nonsense, after all, who didn't know that it was impossible for a ghost who fell into the Wangchuan River to crawl out again.
But Gu Yunchu heard the clue, and after asking again and again, she vaguely guessed that the one who crawled out was probably Ao Yan who had been separated from her!
Without further ado, she immediately thanked Bao for asking, and wanted to leave quickly.
Looking at the little old lady who was hunched over and trembling one second, and walking like flying the next, Bao Wenting was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said!
"Hey! You don't want your crutches anymore?!"
Oh, by the way, and her baseball bat.
The white-haired woman hurried back, thanked her, picked up her 'crutches' and ran away again.
An old man with a cane who had just entered the restaurant was stunned.It was like seeing some medical miracle.
Gu Yunchu quickly came to the bank of the Wangchuan River. The blood-yellow river was full of howling evil spirits. She ignored these evil spirits, but started to wander around, trying to find any clues that Ao Yan had passed by.
Suddenly, she found a trace on a stone by the river. It was a faint dragon pattern, and the dragon's head was facing east.
After Gu Yunchu realized it, he immediately looked eastward, got into the scorched withered woods, and after walking for about a cup of tea, Gu Yunchu saw Ao Yan.
I saw him standing in the forest with a cold face, and beside him was the unconscious Ding Chenghuang.
Seeing Gu Yunchu approaching, Ao Yan's face softened even in the face of the scary old grandmother's face.
"You came."
Gu Yunchu looked at Ding Chenghuang: "What's going on?"
"This guy plotted against us. When I realized it, I had already lost track of you. I didn't find you after that, but I managed to catch this guy just now."
Thinking of this, Ao Yan was still a little angry.
"It's good to catch it. I also know a lot of news. Now it's enough to find Xi Fangping."
Gu Yunchu opened his mouth and told the news he had learned about the rich man surnamed Yang.If they can find evidence that he bribed the ghost guards, city gods, and county officials from the surname Yang, then their confidence in this operation will be greater.
Ao Yan obviously thought of this too, but then he thought of something.
"It's not long since I entered the underworld, how did you find out so much?"
This was something that Xi Fangping, the person involved, did not know.
The white-haired woman froze.She turned her back and stared at the dark sky of the underworld.
"It's nothing, I just asked a guy with a nickname to ask about it."
As for other things... don't ask, if you ask, you can't comment!
The younger sister of the system said sadly: [Hey... for the justice of the world, I have really suffered for you. 】
The white-haired woman had tears in her eyes. [It's not bitter, it should be. 】
Ghosts of men, women, young and old, with missing arms and legs, walked slowly through the gate of hell.Set foot on Huangquan Road.Along the way, some ghosts kept crying, and most of the ghosts showed their reluctance for Yangjian, so that the ghost messengers among them would yell at them from time to time, telling them to leave quickly.
These ghosts need to rush to the palace of Hades, who will judge good and evil merits and demerits, and judge whether they can go to reincarnation or whether they need to be sent to hell.
An old woman with a bald forehead and fluttering white hair behind her head followed tremblingly with a cane.She walked slower and slower, and then she made sure that the ghost servants among the ghost crowd were not looking at her, and immediately fled the team with a bowed body.
After all, she wasn't really dead, so she couldn't really go through the procedure of reincarnation in the underworld, could she?
Although the purpose of her coming to the underworld was to sue, but the complaint must not be empty-handed. She decided to go to Xi Fangping and Ao Yan first.
After all, when Nading Chenghuang arrived in the underworld, the ghost knows if he has already turned black and white in Hades. All in all, it is better to be cautious if it is his home game.
Simply, the underworld is really big. There are also large and small ghost villages and ghost cities. Each ghost city corresponds to a king of hell, and the city and nearby villages are built around the palace of the king of hell.The residents inside are some lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, or ghosts who have not yet reached the time for reincarnation.
In a dark alley, a white-haired old woman was walking slowly forward with a cane. The underworld is extremely dark, and the gray mist is a vision of too much shadow. The wind blows, and the alley In the middle of the room, you can vaguely see the white round paper money being rolled up and falling down.
Because day and night cannot be distinguished here, the most popular lighting tools in the underworld are candles and oil lamps. There is a paper lantern hanging in front of a shop at the entrance of the alley, emitting a green light.
At first glance, this picture is already very intrusive, but this is not the end.
suddenly!A few pinches of green will-o'-the-wisps appeared at the end of the alley and flew towards the old man's house rapidly. In the originally dead alley, there were several children's giggling and crisp laughter.
If others were prepared to be startled by the sudden sudden appearance of the will-o'-the-wisps, the white-haired woman continued to walk slowly as if she didn't feel anything.
But the will-o'-the-wisps surrounded them, and the sound of children giggling and laughing could be heard in the air.
"Look at her, she looks so ugly."
"Ugly as a ghost!"
"You are stupid, aren't we also ghosts?"
"Yes."
"But we are much prettier than her!"
The stooped Gu Yunchu paused, then raised his head suddenly, revealing the ugly old face of the terrifying grandma and said fiercely.
"Little kid, don't you know it's impolite to call someone ugly in person?!"
The will-o'-the-wisps dispersed with a whoosh.
"Wow, she's so fierce!"
"Yeah, it scared me to death."
"It looks even uglier this way."
"She doesn't seem to want us to call her ugly."
"But she's ugly."
Listening to the childish voice, these little ghosts are probably not very old, and they have not learned the hypocrisy of adults at all. They seem to be very incomprehensible to the behavior of the white-haired woman in front of her who does not accept reality.
Hey, what a bunch of brats who have never been beaten by society!
Gu Yunchu rolled his eyes as he walked.
"You guys are the only ones who look good? Let's go, I don't want to talk to you brats who haven't even grown their hair yet!"
"It's not that we don't have all hair, we have hair, look!"
There was a group of will-o'-the-wisps who were not happy, and fell to the ground and instantly turned into a milk doll less than three years old, wearing a red bellyband, standing in front of Gu Yunchu with bare feet, and proudly patted the small knob on his head.
Then the rest of the will-o'-the-wisps fell to the ground one after another, turning into children, and the oldest was only five years old, so he could be called a baby.
"Me too. My hair is much better."
"My hair is the longest!"
"Mine was tied up with a red ribbon by Auntie."
Gu Yunchu couldn't help raising his eyebrows as the plump little doll was in front.
[Hehe, these little radish heads are quite cute. 】
However, in the next second, someone in this group of cute little dolls seemed to have discovered a new world.
"Hey, look, she seems to be the only one with no hair!"
"Really, she doesn't even have strange hair!"
"Bare, so ugly!"
Gu Yunchu: [... I take back what I just said! 】
"I didn't expect to meet you cute little kids here. As the saying goes, meeting is fate..."
The white-haired woman took out a beautiful sugar figurine from the glass mirror with a half-smile.
The eyes of the little ghosts were immediately attracted by the sugar figure.I was so greedy that I couldn't help but poke my mouth.
The white-haired lady smiled and said, "Does it look good?"
The little ghosts nodded immediately.
White-haired woman: "Does it smell sweet?"
The kid nodded fiercely again.
White-haired woman: "Do you want to have a bite?"
The kid's eyes were shining brightly: "I want to!"
"Oh, then you can think about it. I won't give it to you!"
The white-haired woman changed her face in a second, and bit the sugar man's head hard.While eating with a click, he said deliberately.
"It's so sweet, it melts in your mouth when you eat it, it tastes so good, I want to eat another one after eating one! The neighbors next door are all crying!"
I don't know if the neighbor next door is crying or not, anyway, the little ghosts are already crying.
Seeing the little ghosts running home crying, the younger sister of the system was speechless: [You are an adult, do you care about children? 】
Gu Yunchu snorted.
【I'm telling them that society is dangerous, and they must always be wary of candies handed over by strangers, because it is likely to be a despicable trap. 】
System sister: [Despicable?Are you talking about yourself? 】
【No, I'm not ordinary mean. 】
The white-haired woman walked out of the alley slowly with her back bent.
[I belong to the old lady leaning against the wall to drink porridge, vile and shameless! (No teeth on the back wall)]
System sister: ... Then you are really awesome.Want to give you a certificate?
Then, in the ghost town, there was an old white-haired woman quietly asking ghosts.
"Young man, do you know Xi Fangping? I'm his grandma. I got lost with him."
"Young man, have you seen a young man named Xi Fangping? Oh, I am the aunt of his uncle's brother-in-law. His family asked me to find him."
"Girl, have you ever seen a young man named Xi Fangping who is so tall and thin? I... I am the great-grandmother of his aunt's nephew. We agreed to let this young man accompany me today The street, and I accidentally lost him? What? I lost it? Impossible, I am one hundred and eighty, how could someone at such an age get lost, he must have lost it!"
Because of the particularity of Ao Yan's identity, Gu Yunchu knew in his heart that he would find a way to lurk, so he asked a lot of ghosts about Xi Fangping on the surface.Secretly observe the surrounding scenery from time to time, to see if he can find the mark Ao Yan left for himself.
It's a pity that after inquiring for a full hour, I didn't get any news.This ghost town is really too big. Obviously, such a small case is not a possibility that everyone knows about it.
Afterwards, Gu Yunchu found another way and started to inquire about the news of the rich man named Yang, but he did meet someone he had heard of, but unfortunately, he only knew that the rich man died recently and came down here, and he was very generous.I don't know the rest.
Fortunately, at this time, a kind ghost pointed out a clear path, saying that there was a shopkeeper's son in a restaurant in the city, nicknamed Bao Inquiry, who usually worked as a waiter in his restaurant. He knew the latest and most lively things in this ghost town, so you must be right if you ask him. !
Gu Yunchu's eyes lit up when he heard it.After thanking the good-hearted ghost, I started to go to the restaurant happily.
Finally, she has a reliable source. After asking people all over the place, she will pretend to be Xi Fangping and his family tree!
After walking for a long time, Gu Yunchu finally found the restaurant. The restaurant looked quite grand, but instead of the festive red lanterns hanging in the world, they were white paper lanterns with green light.
The ghosts that can go in and come out are pale and blue, and the atmosphere is very underworld.
A ghost golden rooster missing a leg stood alone at the door, smiling at every guest who came over.
"This guest officer, please!"
"There is a seat! There is a seat!"
"Everyone, please come inside, the good dishes are full of flavor!"
Gu Yunchu was about to go there on crutches, but the younger sister of the system looked at the grand restaurant, and saw that the people who went in and out were all well-dressed, rich or expensive ghost officials, and suddenly thought of something.
[By the way, you don't seem to have any paper money for dead people, do you?The sound of this restaurant seems to be very popular, there is no money here... Will people be willing to take the time to give you news? 】
Gu Yunchu paused: That's right.
Most of the waiters in places like restaurants and teahouses are well-informed and know a lot of things, so many of them have a side job, selling news to earn extra money.
If it doesn’t cost you a penny to inquire about a famous name like this, maybe people will ignore you at all. After all, collecting information itself takes time and effort.
Gu Yunchu hesitated at the entrance of the restaurant, and suddenly seemed to think of something, ran to a small alley, looked around, and indeed saw a few scattered pieces of white paper money in this alley.
The old woman happily picked up the money.
[Look, isn't there money here? 】
The system sister reminded.
[Although I really don't want to pour cold water on you, I must say that no ghosts will pick up the money if it falls in the ground. The purchasing power in the underworld might be small.What you pick up may not be enough. 】
Gu Yunchu scratched his head in distress.
[But there is no other way, anyway, just to inquire about news, if you pick up a little more, it should be enough, right?If it really doesn't work, I'll give up this old face and sell it badly? 】
System younger sister: ... This old face of the scary grandma has sold you out.
After some effort, Gu Yunchu finally collected a stack of miserable white round paper money.She turned around and walked into the restaurant, and immediately a waiter came up to serve her.
But the white-haired woman waved her hand, saying that she didn't come to eat, she just came to find Bao to inquire about things.
The shopkeeper understood this in seconds, and immediately called Bao to inquire.
Bao inquired was a tall, thin young ghost with bright eyes. When he came, he first looked at the clothes of the white-haired woman. Seeing that she was only wearing a strange and thin white dress, he immediately frowned in distaste.
"Old woman, you want to find me? Let's talk about it first, and you have to give me this when you ask me about something."
He said rubbing his fingers.
Gu Yunchu thumped in his heart, it's over, this guy looks like he's just blindsided by money, I'm afraid she won't be able to sell her old face.
But she still nodded honestly.
"I brought money here, and I will definitely not let you talk about it for nothing."
After she finished speaking, she took it out of her sleeve with difficulty, and put a stack of paper money on the table with trembling hands.
"I just want to ask you about a rich man named Yang and a young man named Xi Fangping. This... do you think these are enough?"
When Bao inquired and saw the other party take out a stack of money, his eyes lit up at first, but after seeing the true face of the paper money, his eyes were suddenly dead.
After a moment.
The tall, lanky young ghost pushed and shoved an ugly white-haired old woman.
"Where is the old lunatic, you have the nerve to take out a pile of useless waste paper for money? You can take it home and burn it for fun!"
"Hey! Don't push me."
Gu Yunchu grabbed the door frame and refused to leave.
"Why isn't this money? Isn't this the paper money we use for the dead?"
Bao inquired and snorted coldly.
"Whether you really don't understand or you don't understand, the money is also divided into real and fake. I don't know if this is fake money made by that profiteer who sneaked and played tricks in Yangjian!"
Someone originally wanted to fight for the poor old woman.As soon as she heard that the old lady came to the restaurant with fake money to spend, she immediately stopped in her tracks.
Gu Yunchu was taken aback.
After a long time, it turned out to be fake money, no wonder no one picked it up!
But you can't blame her, can you?
Who would have thought that there are counterfeit coins in the underworld, too outrageous, right? !
Damn, thanks to the fact that she just picked them up in a foolish way, she really lost all her old face before selling it.
Suddenly, a voice came from the store.
"Little Er, check out!"
Gu Yunchu, who was scratching the door frame, saw that the guest took out several heavy gold ingots and handed them over.She immediately had a flash of inspiration.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
She grabbed the door frame with one hand and took out an ingot of gold from her bosom.
"Look, how about I give you this?"
Seeing that Bao Wenwen stopped, the white-haired woman immediately held the cane in her hand, her back was no longer hunched, and she straightened her back, exuding the radiance of being rich is self-confidence.
If she knew she could pay the bill with gold, it's not like she can't afford it!
Originally thought that the next step would be to invite Bao Inquiry to nod and bow down to invite him in again, but in the next moment, Bao Inquiry continued to push her in disgust.
"Sure enough, you are an old lunatic. Who wants your broken gold? Go, go, I have to work, I don't have time to talk to you!"
"What are you doing?"
Gu Yunchu was startled.
"Didn't that person give you the gold just now?"
I will accept the gold that guy gives, but not what she gives?Why?Hers is bigger than that guy's too!
Bao Wenqu cursed and cursed, but his actions were not too rough, he just said impatiently.
"It's a genuine gold ingot, can it compare to the gold in your world?"
What is the Yangjian not the Yangjian?Isn't it all gold?
Gu Yunchu wanted to ask again, but one who didn't pay attention was dragged out of the store by Bao inquiring.Immediately after that, a guy blocked the door and refused to let her in.
How is this inexplicable?
Gu Yunchu left in a daze, and it took him a cup of tea to figure out the reason.
First of all, the money used in the underworld is different from the money in the yang world. Otherwise, why burn paper money for ancestor worship in the yang world?Aren't you afraid that the ghosts below have no money to spend?
Secondly, these paper money must go through a certain process before it can be turned into money for ghosts in the underworld, which contains a trace of yin.This is the anti-counterfeiting mark, and the remaining unqualified paper money is all counterfeit money.is unusable, probably to control inflation in the underworld.
In addition, the gold ingots used by the customer just now were made from ingots made of paper and burned.Because everyone burns gold ingots and no one burns silver ingots, so there is no silver ingots in the underworld, and this is the situation where gold ingots are used to pay for meals.
Of course, it is also because ghosts do not need to eat every day, and eating is a luxury, so a meal costs a lot of money.
The gold, silver and jewelry in the Yangjian are not so popular in the underworld, because the underworld is heavy with yin, and things in the yang are easily corroded by the yin. To put it bluntly, these treasures in the underworld are not easy to preserve and will continue to depreciate as time goes by.Ordinary people pay attention to the truth, and they all like things that increase in value, and no one likes things that depreciate.
That is to say, the yin gods like Ding Chenghuang who run between the underworld and the yang will like the gold, silver and jewelry in the yang, because they can be used.
Of course, it's not that these can't be exchanged into the currency of the underworld, it's just that the exchange rate... Gu Yunchu's face turned blue when he heard this, and the savings he had finally saved would be enough to eat a few meals in the underworld if he exchanged them.
At first, she thought she was a little rich woman, but she never expected that her assets would shrink in the blink of an eye.
It's really the difference between red bills and Zimbabwean dollars!
This world really doesn't want her poor old woman to live!
Gu Yunchu was overly sad, and sat down at the entrance of the alley.
[Tongtong, do you think I will go back and ask Chen Su and the others to give me some paper money? 】
No one told her that when she went to the underworld to fight for justice, she had to burn some paper money for herself first!
This world is so real!
The younger sister of the system suppressed her laughter: [Hey, be more careful in your next life. 】
Gu Yunchu who heard the laughter of an unscrupulous system: [... Is this going to the next life soon?In fact, my wife, I still want to fight for a dog in my life. 】
She began to think about how she could quickly earn enough consulting fees, and the first thing she thought of was food. After all, the latest news she got was that food in the underworld is very expensive.
But then she rummaged all over her body before remembering that not long ago, she had Xiao Shan Gao as snacks, but now they have been taken away by Ao Yan, and she has eaten the only sugar figurines left, only two Zongzi candy, but no matter how expensive the food in the underworld is, it is impossible for two Zongzi candies to sell for sky-high prices!
Jingle!
Just when Gu Yunchu was thinking hard, something hit the bluestone board, and after a crisp sound, something rolled and rolled, and finally touched the sole of the white-haired woman's shoe and stopped.
The white-haired woman picked up the underworld copper plate in a daze. If the round paper money she picked up before was real, then they should look like this.
But in front of her, the person who threw money had disappeared, and the ghosts on the street came and went, except for the dark sky and the white and green lanterns hanging everywhere on the side of the road.It seems to be no different from Yangjian.
There were tears in the corners of Gu Yunchu's eyes: [... Everything, I seem to be treated like a beggar again! 】
Jingle!Jingle!There were two more beeps.
[Be confident, remove the seeming. 】
The system sister said seriously.
【And... did you take advantage of me not to place my talents in strange places?Anyway, if you just sit on the street like this when you are in Yangjian, the business will not be as good as it is now. 】
Gu Yunchu, who has a very strange talent: ...I'm heartbroken, old iron.JPG
Just at this time, the little ghosts who had been made to cry by Gu Yunchu before found her.
"What is she doing?"
"Looks like you're begging for food?"
"I know, she is a beggar woman!"
"Mother said beggars are very pitiful."
"But she can eat sugar man, is that pitiful?"
The oldest, five-year-old, took a sniff.
"She is very pitiful. I went back and told my mother. My mother said that she is so old, has no hair, and is very pitiful alone. I am not allowed to bully such an old man when I see her. I am also not allowed to call her ugly."
The rest of the little ghosts were taught immediately.Then a child dawdled.
"Mother gave me a penny today and said it was saved so that I can buy candy later."
"My mother also gave it."
"My mother gave me two pennies!"
Little kids, you look at me, I look at you.
The biggest one spoke again.
"After all, she doesn't even have hair, it's too poor. Shall we give her some money?"
As he said that, he walked not far away with his short legs, and carefully threw a penny over.
When the other children saw it, they followed suit and threw a penny.
Gu Yunchu, who thought he was about to be ridiculed, was so moved that he was about to cry.
Although they still laughed at her for having no hair, they were all good kids.
She couldn't help waving to the children, gesturing for them to come over.The children hesitated for a moment, and approached cautiously.
Some kid was curious. "What did you call us for?"
Gu Yunchu was moved with tears.
"First of all, I have to declare that I am not hairless, you see, I still have a little hair!"
The younger sister of the system who thought she could see some touching scene: ...Can't you forget your hair at a time like this? !
But then Gu Yunchu took out his only two zongzi candies left.
"I was wrong just now, this is for you."
The little ghosts were surprised. "Wow, it's sugar!"
The biggest brat said vigilantly.
"Give it to us really? Don't lie to us?"
"It's really for you."
Gu Yunchu put the sugar on his hand and rubbed his head by the way.
"Sorry, there are only two, but you can break them up and share them."
The brats don’t think there’s anything to be sorry about. After all, the copper coins in the underworld are not as powerful as the copper coins in the yang world. Their few pennies can’t buy such two pieces of candy!
They took the candy excitedly, giggled and ran away.
Gu Yunchu gritted his teeth: [Okay, now I have to work hard to make money. 】
The younger sister of the system was startled: 【Are you really going to beg? 】
[Are you kidding, I have hands and feet, how can I do such a thing? 】
Gu Yunchu turned his head and picked up a very fast brick and stone, then stood at the intersection and started shouting.
"Come and have a look!"
"Life is not easy being a street performer!"
"The hundred-year-old woman's iron head smashes the bricks! Everyone who has money will win a money market, and those who have no money will win a personal game!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. After all, an old woman doesn't need to work so hard, does she?But not waiting for anyone to stop it.I saw the old woman picked up the stone and slammed it on her forehead a few times after she finished speaking.
Baimaopo's physical defense is full, the oily skin is not broken at all, and the specially selected thin and crisp stones are broken in response!
Everyone's panicked eyes widened.
Such a bald forehead, such an iron head!
Half an hour later, the white-haired woman went to the restaurant again tremblingly with a cane, probably because she was overwhelmed by her steely will (head). This time, she finally got the information about the surname Yang from Bao inquiring Rich people's residence, activity range and other information.
Although he still didn't find out about Xi Fangping's whereabouts, he got a pleasant surprise. The guests at the next table happened to talk about the news that they suspected of seeing a figure crawling out of the Wangchuan River not long ago.
Everyone who heard this thought it was nonsense, after all, who didn't know that it was impossible for a ghost who fell into the Wangchuan River to crawl out again.
But Gu Yunchu heard the clue, and after asking again and again, she vaguely guessed that the one who crawled out was probably Ao Yan who had been separated from her!
Without further ado, she immediately thanked Bao for asking, and wanted to leave quickly.
Looking at the little old lady who was hunched over and trembling one second, and walking like flying the next, Bao Wenting was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said!
"Hey! You don't want your crutches anymore?!"
Oh, by the way, and her baseball bat.
The white-haired woman hurried back, thanked her, picked up her 'crutches' and ran away again.
An old man with a cane who had just entered the restaurant was stunned.It was like seeing some medical miracle.
Gu Yunchu quickly came to the bank of the Wangchuan River. The blood-yellow river was full of howling evil spirits. She ignored these evil spirits, but started to wander around, trying to find any clues that Ao Yan had passed by.
Suddenly, she found a trace on a stone by the river. It was a faint dragon pattern, and the dragon's head was facing east.
After Gu Yunchu realized it, he immediately looked eastward, got into the scorched withered woods, and after walking for about a cup of tea, Gu Yunchu saw Ao Yan.
I saw him standing in the forest with a cold face, and beside him was the unconscious Ding Chenghuang.
Seeing Gu Yunchu approaching, Ao Yan's face softened even in the face of the scary old grandmother's face.
"You came."
Gu Yunchu looked at Ding Chenghuang: "What's going on?"
"This guy plotted against us. When I realized it, I had already lost track of you. I didn't find you after that, but I managed to catch this guy just now."
Thinking of this, Ao Yan was still a little angry.
"It's good to catch it. I also know a lot of news. Now it's enough to find Xi Fangping."
Gu Yunchu opened his mouth and told the news he had learned about the rich man surnamed Yang.If they can find evidence that he bribed the ghost guards, city gods, and county officials from the surname Yang, then their confidence in this operation will be greater.
Ao Yan obviously thought of this too, but then he thought of something.
"It's not long since I entered the underworld, how did you find out so much?"
This was something that Xi Fangping, the person involved, did not know.
The white-haired woman froze.She turned her back and stared at the dark sky of the underworld.
"It's nothing, I just asked a guy with a nickname to ask about it."
As for other things... don't ask, if you ask, you can't comment!
The younger sister of the system said sadly: [Hey... for the justice of the world, I have really suffered for you. 】
The white-haired woman had tears in her eyes. [It's not bitter, it should be. 】
