Chapter Twenty-Eight: Another Accident
"Sit and sit, you don't have to be polite, just like you're in your own home. ”
Xiao Lao led a few people to the living room and greeted them warmly.
"Goo...... This...... This is your living room?"
Ye Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva at this time, looked at Xiao Lao with some suspicion and asked.
I saw that there was a rosewood bookcase in the room, on which there were various celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and there were several stone inkstones placed next to it, and there were several pen holders made of bamboo and wood next to it, which were filled with all kinds of brushes like mountains and forests. On the right side of the desk is a huge bookshelf, and the richness of the books on it can be said to be the first time Ye Chen has seen it in his life.
But it was such a room full of the smell of books, and the owner turned out to be that old man who was not very serious, this contrast was really unacceptable to Ye Chen.
"This ...... Why can't this be my living room!"
Xiao Lao was also a little weak at this time, and shouted at Ye Chen with insufficient confidence, so he hurriedly made tea for a few people and changed the topic.
"Little friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"
Xiao Lao took a sip of tea slightly, looked at Ye Chen and asked.
"Haven't you seen you in a long time? Didn't you just come down this morning?"
Ye Chen was a little confused at this time-he had obviously seen Xiao Lao come down with his own eyes this morning, why did he ask so now......
"Oh, yes, look at my memory. Xiao Lao patted his head and suddenly realized, "I forgot that this life is a day in prison for a day in the world, and I will give ...... a day."
Xiao Lao saw that Ye Chen was a little puzzled, and explained to him again: "Because this life prison is mostly used to lock up those who smuggle to the bottom, in order to make them suffer some hardships and at the same time worry about interfering with the timeline of the human world, the time here has been changed by the old man of Hades." ”
"Oh......"
Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully—then it would not be surprising that the patrol was patrolling at the intersection of Huangquan Road today.
"I know, I know!" Li Qiao'er shook the black booklet in her hand with some pride, and said happily, "The underworld calendar that my father gave me has written the time of these places. ”
"What, what is that your little girlfriend doing?"
Xiao Lao glanced at Ye Chen in some surprise, he didn't expect that Ye Chen would be able to hook up with a "stowaway from the underworld" so soon.
"What do you do that! I'm a yin-yang person!"
Hearing that Xiao Lao seemed to have some ambiguity, Li Qiao'er blushed and tried to explain.
"Then it's not surprising that you were arrested here, but it's you, little friend, why did you come here?"
Xiao Lao glanced at Li Qiao'er, nodded, and then asked Ye Chen with some confusion.
Because it stands to reason that except for the Yin and Yang Dao people and those Yin peddlers, there are very few living people in this underworld, and Ye Chen and the others are obviously not this kind of people.
"Well, it's a long story......"
Ye Chen sighed, and told Xiao Lao about the hearse again.
"Hearse? shouldn't it!" Xiao Lao touched his chin a little heavily, and said with some solemnity, "Generally speaking, hearse will not appear in front of the living, unless ......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Lao glanced at Ye Chen with some deep meaning, and then slowly said, "Unless it is specially summoned by the King of the Ten Palaces......
"Hades summoned you...... This...... It shouldn't be!"
When Ye Chen heard Xiao Lao's words, he was shocked, this doesn't make sense!
"Think about it, have you done anything bad lately, or have you violated the rules of heaven?"
Xiao Lao's heart was also a little heavy at this time, he didn't have any friends when he was a guardian in the yang world, but now he finally has a New Year's friend, and it turned out to be like this......
"It's a shame...... I've never done either of those!"
Ye Chen thought about it carefully, he hadn't done anything recently, and it would be even more nonsense to say that he had violated the rules of heaven - he was a good law-abiding citizen.
"That doesn't make sense......"
Xiao Lao habitually touched his head and muttered with some doubts.
I didn't do anything wrong, and I couldn't have done anything that violated the rules of heaven...... Could it be because of that?
Xiao Lao suddenly thought of something, and a little joy flashed in his eyes, but he also knew that if that thing was true, he would definitely not let Ye Chen know, so he could only snort and said with a smile: "As long as you don't do anything, don't be afraid when you come here, it's a big deal, right?" ”
Tourism...... You also think of it, I have a large living person to travel to the underworld.
Ye Chen rolled his eyes in his heart, and said helplessly.
"Wow...... Wow......"
A crow's rough crowing suddenly came from outside the house, and a few people looked out the window, only to find a crow flying straight at them.
"What's going on...... Who's going to write to me at this time...... Wouldn't it really be?"
Xiao Lao looked at the flying crow, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly took the crow.
The crow was also humane, and when he saw Xiao Lao coming up, he threw a scroll of paper at him, turned his head and hissed and flew away.
"What's wrong, Old Xiao, what's wrong?"
Ye Chen panicked, don't worry about it because they have affected Xiao Lao, in that case, their sin will be great......
"It's okay, it's all a small thing. Xiao Lao looked at the note in his hand, and the original hanging heart was also put down, and then he waved his hand impatiently to a few people, "Let's go, let's go, I still have something to do here, so I won't leave you." ”
"This ......"
Looking at Xiao Lao, whose attitude suddenly changed, Ye Chen and the others were also a little puzzled, could something really happen?
"Okay, why don't you go quickly, what are you doing in a daze!"
Xiao Lao yelled at a few people with some annoyance, and then looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he walked to Ye Chen's side, secretly stuffed a few pills into his hand, and instructed in a low voice: "I'm here, I won't leave you, you can take these pills well, and you will use them later......"
"That'...... Then we'll go first. ”
Ye Chen was a little confused, but he also knew that now was not the time to speak, so a few people said goodbye to Xiao Lao and walked out.
"My lord, the little official doesn't know that the adult is coming, and he hopes to forgive his sins. ”
After making sure that Ye Chen and the others had gone away, Xiao Lao hurriedly bowed to the courtyard wall.
"Hmph, you know I'm here!"
"What, when will it be your turn to open the back door for others?"
With a loud shout, the horizon, which was not very bright, was suddenly covered by dark clouds, during which thunder flashed, and the end was very majestic.
Seeing the vision in the sky, the little ghosts in the living prison also hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted to the sky.
"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan really didn't know, he just thought it was a friend visiting, so he ...... That's why I made this decision. ”
Looking at the man who slowly walked out of the black mist, Xiao Lao's cold sweat suddenly broke out.
As the saying goes, officials crush people to death at the first level, but the man in front of him is directly his top boss - the king of the wheel!
If this offends him, he will not have good fruit to eat in the future.
"Alright, you're not the first to do that...... However, do you really think that you can hide from the eyes of this king by secretly stuffing those few miasma avoidance pills?"
The man sighed first, and then looked at Xiao Lao, who was constantly calculating the time at this time, with some playfulness.
"This king also knows that you want them to have an easier time when they cross the sea of flowers on the other side, but if they let him pass easily along the way, then what is the point of this king's trial?"
"So this king has already ordered the bull head and horse noodles to strengthen the medicinal effect of the sea of flowers on the other side, you should put away that little Jiujiu as soon as possible. ”
After the man finished speaking, he turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared into the sky.
In this case, boy, it's all up to you......
Xiao Lao looked at Ye Chen with some worry in the direction they left.
Hopefully, you'll make it through......
