Chapter 75: You don't want to give you a face
After reading aloud to the empty mountain, Su Chen returned to the house, and did not close the door, just sat down in front of the Eight Immortals table.
A moment passed, and a terrible cry was heard from outside the courtyard, and then a dark shadow fell on the courtyard wall.
When his eyes fell on the black shadow on the wall, Su Chen was no exception, in the dark, this black shadow had a pair of eyes glowing with green light, and the terrible cry came from it, this cry was intermittent, and it sounded a little like laughter.
"I'd rather listen to the owl than look at the owl laughing. ”
Su Chen whispered, the black shadow on the wall is an owl, this is a nocturnal animal, in the eyes of zoologists, the reason why owls come out at night is because their vision is very sensitive, and the ultraviolet rays during the day are too strong to hurt their eyes.
But among the people, there are many rumors about owls, and one of them is that if the owl laughs, it means that something bad is going to happen.
At the moment, the owl is laughing.
After staying on the courtyard wall for about a few minutes, the owl spread its wings and flew away, and after a while, the wind suddenly rose outside the courtyard, and all the paper ashes on the ground were blown up, forming a whirlpool in the air.
"Your guest comes to the door, and the host's house has a little wine, and please come in. ”
Su Chen stood up, the person was facing the door, and his hand made a gesture of please to the upper seat, and at this moment, there happened to be the paper figure on the upper seat.
Just after Su Chen finished speaking, the paper man suddenly trembled, and the tremor lasted for about a minute before it ended, and finally, the paper man who was originally standing actually bent down and sat on the chair.
This scene, if Yin Leopard and the others saw it, it was estimated that they would be shocked, but Su Chen did not feel that it was an exception at all, this paper man could have been possessed by a yin spirit, but this time it was not a yin spirit that possessed the body, but a ghost in the underworld.
The little girl on the side, when the paper figure was shaking, her little face showed a look of fear, although she didn't know who was on the paper man, but the breath made her afraid.
The aura of yin is inherently terrifying to ghosts, which is the same as ordinary people seeing people in the yamen, otherwise how can they deter ghosts.
"Lord Yin Si has worked hard, the kid respects Lord Yin Si with a cup. ”
Su Chen raised his wine glass and toasted to the paper figure, ordinary ghosts can't be called yin, but everyone carries the sedan chair, this is the same as reality, an ordinary clerk of a certain brigade or a certain bureau will be called a certain team, a certain director, or directly called a leader.
The rice wine in Su Chen's cup was drunk in one gulp, and the paper man didn't see him make any moves, but the cup of rice wine on the table in front of him slowly decreased, as if there was an invisible habit to suck the rice wine away.
"This is brewed with aged glutinous rice, and Lord Yin Si will have another cup. ”
After toasting Yin Si three glasses of wine in a row, Su Chen kept greeting Yin Si with dishes as if he was entertaining guests normally, except for the lack of rice wine, there was no shortage of this dish, but Su Chen knew that this ghost was not less than eating.
An hour passed, and Su Chen estimated that he was full of wine and food, and he could talk about business.
"Yinsi-sama, this time I have a small favor, and I want to ask Yinsi-sama for help. ”
After Su Chen said this, he looked at the paper man, and the paper man nodded.
"This little girl, died a little strangely, I don't know the origin of her name before her death, you also know that if you go to the underworld like this, it is estimated that you will have to wait for a long time, so the kid here wants to ask Lord Yin Si for a favor, can you help investigate her identity and origin. ”
The paper man turned his head to look at the little girl standing on the side of the hall, and the little girl's body trembled at the sight of the paper man.
After half a ring, the paper figure turned his head, and a sharp voice came from the paper man's mouth.
"You know a lot about Hades. ”
Hearing the paper man speak, Su Chen's expression froze, this is the ghost messenger communicating with himself through the mouth of the paper man, and at the same time, he doubts his identity.
There are not many people in the entire Yang World who know about the Netherworld, and those who walk in the Yin are considered one, but the people who walk in the Yin will not leak the things in the Netherworld to the outside world, and Su Chen is obviously not a Yin walker.
But fortunately, Su Chen had already prepared, and replied with a smile at the moment: "Back to Lord Yinsi, these are all things that I heard from the elders of the sect. ”
In the metaphysical world, there are still many powerful sects, not to mention the nearby Longhu Mountain, which is the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the signboard of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is not only easy to use in the yang world, but also very useful in the underworld.
It is rumored that when Zhang Tianshi was cultivating the Tao, he also entered the underworld, and also held an official position in the underworld for a period of time.
"What you ask for is not within the jurisdiction of your lordship, and it is not bad for you to wait, so this time it will not cure you of the sin of disturbing your lordship. ”
The ghost cha replied, and after the words fell, a yin wind blew in the hall, and this yin wind blew in the direction of the door, feeling this scene, Su Chen's face became ugly.
What kind of disturbance, he bowed according to the regulations, and then used the power of the Emperor of the Four Directions and the land of the mountain god to send a message to the ghost, whether to come or not is completely the choice of the ghost to send himself.
This ghost knew that he had prepared good wine and offerings, and chose to come to the banquet, and now that the delicious food and drink were finished, he wanted to clap his hands and leave, and used this big hat to buckle himself.
This clay man still has a three-point temper, not to mention that he is not an angry person.
When he was in the underworld, like this low-level ghost, he had to nod his head when he saw him, and the one who could deal with him was the second at the level of Yin Si.
Now that he has been reborn and returned to the yang world, he wants to ask others for something, so he will be entertained, but this does not mean that he will allow this ghost to play this game with him.
This ghost almost either simply didn't come, or directly said that this matter was difficult to do, Su Chen would not be so angry.
Thinking of this, Su Chen's face turned cold: "Since Your Excellency is unwilling to help, I am not embarrassed, but I still have what I have to eat and drink, please return it." ”
After Su Chen said this, the room was cloudy, and the temperature of the entire hall dropped sharply, even Chen Xin and the others who were hiding in the study felt it.
The faces of the three of them were a little pale, they had also heard the conversation between Su Chen and Yin Cha just now, and when they heard that Su Chen was going to let this ghost get the food back, the three of them had shocked expressions on their faces.
This food and drink can still be returned, and the other party is still a ghost.
Facing the yin wind in the room, Su Chen's face remained unchanged, the ghost cha sounded very scary, and the power in his hands was also very great, but that was only for the ghosts and yin spirits, the first iron law of the underworld, all the ghosts who went to the yang world must not harm the yang people.
Unless it was the Yang people who took the initiative to provoke them.
Su Chen knew very well that this ghost was just deliberately making such a big battle to scare himself.
"People have a way, ghosts have ghosts, I will entertain you according to the rules, if you don't help, forget it, and deduct a crime from me, I really think it's a ghost It's great, accept bribes from Yang people for no reason, even if this lawsuit is fought in the Yama Palace, I'm not afraid." ”
"You don't want to give you face, then we'll do business!"
Su Chen almost pointed at the ghost cha's nose and sprayed, hearing that Chen Xin and the three of them in the study were frightened, this was a threat to the ghost cha.
If the thing angers the ghost and hooks the soul directly to the underworld, isn't that dead?
There was a half-silence in the whole room, and after half a sound, the wind cleared, and the shrill voice of the oni came again.
"Haha, little brother, don't be so excited, I'm just joking with you, the matter still has to be discussed. ”
The ghost cha compromised, Su Chen's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he was also relieved in his heart, in fact, he didn't want to really go that far with this ghost.
These ghosts who travel back and forth between the two worlds of yin and yang have a very low status in the underworld, and their wages in the underworld are not high, and they rely on some oil and water to maintain their lives on weekdays.
For example, when a dead person is doing things, the master invited is very sensible, and when he burns money, he will often bring a copy to the ghost, hoping that the ghost can help take care of it when he takes the soul of the deceased to the underworld.
But whether the ghost cha will take care of it or not, then only the onicha himself knows, and the management of the underworld also understands this, but they just turn a blind eye.
As for the kind of person who fakes Shengji's death, in order to cheat and live a few more years, either he really deceived the ghost, or he spent a lot of money to bribe the ghost, which is the same as Yangji.
But Su Chen's current situation is different, this is the same as asking someone to do something, I invite you to eat and drink and give you money, since you have accepted it, you have to do something, if you can't do it, then return the things, eat, drink and play, and receive the gifts, but if the matter is not done, people will definitely not agree.
Of course, a situation like this would result in a lose-lose situation, so since this ghost was willing to discuss, Su Chen didn't care about it anymore.
"The little brother knows the doorway of the underworld very well, so he should know that I am just a little ghost, and I am afraid that I do not have enough authority to investigate this matter. ”
"Don't worry, Onicha-sama, since I'm going to ask for your help, I've taken this into account. ”
Su Chen and the ghost cha returned to their original appearance, as if the previous ghost cha's hat buttoning and his scolding had not happened.
"This little girl's body is on the mountain, I guess it was at least ten years ago, at that time the traffic was not convenient, even if she was not a local, but it would definitely not be too far away, there are many colleagues in the ghost, you might as well help me inquire, if there is news, the kid will be grateful." ”
Let the ghost messenger use the authority of the underworld system to investigate, Su Chen didn't expect this at all, what he wanted was to let this ghost messenger ask the ghost messenger in charge of the nearby area to inquire, these ghosts are close, and there will definitely be contact with each other.
When the ghost heard Su Chen's words, he was silent for a moment, and only after half a sound did he reply, "Wait for my news." ”
