Chapter 3: The Old King's Past

Under Lao Wang's repeated explanations, I packed up these expensive paper money, after all, I bought such a little for 3,000 yuan, and I still have to use the things I need to use on the road, so I must not make a mistake.

There was a question before, and Lao Wang hadn't explained it to me, so I asked why there was a slight pale yellow halo on this paper money, could it still be luminous?

Lao Wang was immediately happy when he heard this, patted me on the shoulder and said: "There are many things you don't understand, don't talk about anything else, come with me first, if everything is fine, then you will know what you should know in the future." ”

I nodded in understanding, and on second thought, if I really wasn't fit for such a scary-sounding profession, it didn't seem like I was qualified to know so many things.

Lao Wang slapped me twice, and only then did he ask, "By the way, what about the clothes I asked you to prepare?"

I remember everything he told me before, so I hurriedly took out a thin down jacket from my backpack and asked, "Do you think this is okay?"

Lao Wang stretched out his hand and touched it and said yes, then he looked at the time on his watch and said: "It's still a while before you can leave, you make mental preparations, and when you get to the bottom, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, keep your mouth shut, when I let you speak, you say it again, understand?"

"Understood. I nodded.

"Don't yell at anything that scares you, just stand by my side, then everything is safe, remember, remember!"

Lao Wang gave a good explanation, which made me feel an inexplicable sense of crisis, but can I still follow after all the coming? I also want to become the same person as Lao Wang, and what I should go through is always something I have to experience.

Thinking of this, I found that I still don't know Lao Wang's real name, so I asked.

Lao Wang only said three words: Wang Riyue.

I was stunned for a moment, Wang Riyue? Lao Wang nodded and said that it was Sun and Yue, not Ming, his real name was Wang Riyue, as for the current title, let me call him Lao Wang, saying that it was more comfortable to listen to like this, so I didn't say anything, silently checked my equipment.

This trip over to remove this down jacket and the dozen or so pieces of paper money that Lao Wang just gave, the backpack contained four bottles of mineral water and some food enough for the two of us to eat for a day or two, and a few packs of compressed biscuits.

In addition to that, I also brought a lighter and a dagger, which in my opinion are all survival tools, and if something happens, I might use them.

I didn't tell Lao Wang before, but it seemed that I was about to go down, and I was still a little worried that something would go wrong because of these things, so I told Lao Wang about these other things.

When Lao Wang heard this, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and said angrily: "Bring the lighter, take the dagger and throw it on the side, don't take it down, we are going to enter the city, in case you are found out one or two, you have to carry your head away, understand? ”

When I heard this, I also felt a chill in my back, and hurriedly took the dagger out of my backpack and threw it aside.

When Lao Wang saw it, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he picked it up and looked at it, and it was a pity to say that it was a pity to lose it, I will keep it for you first, and he put the dagger away as he spoke, and then threw out a tattered dagger from his crossbody bag.

There were three black lines on my forehead all of a sudden, could it be my dagger?

But he's an old guy who has been in office for 30 years, and it's estimated that he's all familiar with the following, so there shouldn't be any problem with what weapon to bring to defend himself, and I'm different, a big living person goes to the underworld for the first time, it's terrifying to think about, in case he is caught by the ghosts and ghosts below and interrogated, then things may be really difficult to do.

Speaking of this dagger or I bought a few years ago, it cost me 998 yuan to buy it, anyway, I just like it, so I bought it, and after buying it, I found that it was useless, and there was a sense of waste, and then I put it at home as an ornament, but I didn't expect it to be cheap to bring it out this time.

A few minutes passed slowly, and it was terrible black in this dark coniferous grove, but any wind and grass could give me goosebumps up several floors, and I was always looking around suspiciously, always feeling that something was looking at me.

Lao Wang didn't mind seeing me like this, just smiled and said that it was normal, ordinary people are always afraid of black, but after going to the underworld, this fear of mental state will be much better, and I will slowly get used to it.

It was eleven o'clock, and at this time, Lao Wang looked at his watch again, and suddenly a cold wind blew around, and he said, "Don't stand still, and don't speak." ”

I nodded, silent, but my eyes were still rolling around, looking everywhere I looked.

Suddenly there was a cold feeling of the wind, as if something was behind me, this feeling made me very uncomfortable, instinctively drove me to turn my head to see what was there, but after seeing Lao Wang's eyes, I still stood and did not dare to move.

Between them, Lao Wang smiled and spoke behind me, but I didn't understand a word of what he said, and it was just some sounds like huh-hu

Me, there is someone next to me?

Oh no, that's supposed to be a ghost!

God, there is a ghost next to me, is this a ghost language that Lao Wang said? No wonder it sounds familiar, this kind of sound can often be heard in horror movies and TV series, it is a whining sound, which is very similar, but the difference is very big.

Lao Wang looked like he was smiling, and he said a lot, and then I heard a wind blowing in my ears not far away, and a leisurely ghost whisper came out, exactly the same as what Lao Wang just said, a feeling!

Ghost!

I almost jumped out to the side in fright, and the muscles of my whole body were tense, but I still remember what Lao Wang said just now, don't move, don't talk, everything is under command, I'll let you say it.

I want to cry without tears, I actually stand side by side with a ghost? Otherwise, there should not be such an eerie and cold feeling, and I can now understand why Lao Wang asked me to bring a winter dress.

Now this is still in the world, but the appearance of a ghost thing around it already makes people feel cold, so if you go down to the underworld, there are no ghosts around you, and it is much colder than this, right?

Thinking about it, I quickly thought of some novels that describe things about gods and ghosts, saying that if you come into contact with ghosts, people will get seriously ill, and people will have three fires and mess around, which makes me feel a little confused.

Wang talked to my side for a few minutes in words that I didn't understand at all, and then Wang nodded to the other side and waved his hand as if to send off the guest.

After a while, I only felt that the cold feeling around me subsided, but Lao Wang didn't speak, and I still didn't dare to speak or move.

Lao Wang saw that my face was pale, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can move, he is gone, and the door of the underworld will be opened at 12 o'clock in a while, I have already told him about taking you down, I am an old ghost, I have friendship, and I am easy to talk." ”

Hearing that I could move and speak, I immediately sat on the ground and gasped violently, "Whew-I said Lao Wang, this, you, you were talking to the ghost just now?"

"Nonsense, am I talking to the air?" Lao Wang glanced at me, saw my somewhat pale face, waved his hand and said to rest in place for a while, and he could only leave at 12 o'clock when the yin qi was at its heaviest.

I swallowed my throat and took a sip of water, which made me feel a lot more comfortable.

I must be very embarrassed now, I know by looking at Lao Wang's expression that he can't stop smiling at me.

Lao Wang seemed to know what I was thinking, so he said, "Your performance is much better than I did back then." ”

"Huh?" I became interested all of a sudden, and I didn't care if the ground was dirty or not, so I sat up straight and asked, "Then Brother Wang, tell me how you got started before?" Don't say it, I fully believe what you said before just now, that feeling really makes people feel like falling into an ice cave, it's so cold!"

"What was I back then?" Lao Wang scratched his head, I don't know where to take out two cigarettes, threw one to me, we lit a cigarette and smoked a few puffs, Lao Wang said: "I was in a similar situation to you back then, but I was a postman, working in the post office, a regular worker, and you were a courier ......"

Taking advantage of the hour's rest, Lao Wang told me about his previous affairs, and I listened to it with relish, and instantly forgot about the dark and terrifying environment around me.

Speaking of this old Wang, that is, Wang Riyue is a talent, he worked in the post office when he was young, which is an iron rice bowl that many people envy, and he can also be an electrician, his skills are not bad, and he takes a part-time job from time to time, and he earns a lot of money.

Later, he married his wife and gave birth to a little princess, and his small life was prosperous, which was also the object of envy among the neighbors.

It's just a pity that an accident made him lose his beloved wife and children, Lao Wang suddenly felt that the whole world had lost its color, and he didn't go to work, and he didn't do welding work......

I suddenly felt that I seemed to ask a little too much, and I was about to say something about so many personal and sad things at once, when I heard Lao Wang ask, "Then do you know what I am doing this profession for?"

I was stunned for a moment, and my thoughts were forcibly pulled back, but I still shook my head, indicating that I didn't understand.

Everyone has their own story, everyone has their own difficulties, this is privacy, I don't think it's polite to guess casually, so I didn't just say a reason.

Lao Wang suddenly laughed and said: "You guy is really stupid, people die and become ghosts, and go down to the underworld." I did this because I might see my wife again!"

As soon as he said this, I suddenly realized that my heart was like this!

However, I still asked, "Isn't it true that after death, people have to cross the Nai He Bridge, drink that Meng Po soup and forget about this life, and then reincarnate?"

Lao Wang nodded as a matter of course: "You are right, most people are reincarnated after a short stay in the underworld after death, and after reincarnation, they will lose all their original memories, that is, they will be reborn, or they will be human, or they will be other things, but not all of them." ”

I was a little puzzled: "According to what you say, there are some ghosts that have been able to stay in the underworld for some reason, such as the one who appeared next to me just now, ghosts?"

"That's right, you're not confused about this, that's what you say, otherwise where can you afford to build towns and villages down there? ”

"Have you seen your children and wife?" I asked with concern.

Lao Wang suddenly showed a relieved expression, "See, my wife didn't reincarnate in time with her child for some reasons and stayed in the underworld, and I also became a courier in the underworld by mistake because of a suicide attempt, and fortunately, we have a chance to reunite, haha." ”

Suicide attempt? really made this accident troublesome, a good family turned out to be separated by yin and yang, but fortunately, Lao Wang was also fortunate to do such a special profession, and it was fate to meet his wife and children again.

Speaking of his wife, Lao Wang's face was full of smiles, which showed that he loved his wife very much.

"Then my wife and children are now living in the underworld?" I was also interested, "I heard that the years in the underworld are infinitely long, is it true?"

Lao Wang nodded and said yes, as long as the ghosts in the underworld are not destroyed, they can always live. However, his child did not stay with his wife all the time, and after they discussed it, they sent it to reincarnation, after all, that little life had just been born and suffered such a disaster, and he was reincarnated earlier, plus he held a position in the City God's Mansion, and the child could still be a human after being reincarnated.

And Lao Wang also said that anyone who is alive can be on an errand in the underworld, and after he dies, he can directly move into the towns of the underworld, without being directly pulled into reincarnation.

I listened attentively, thinking that this seems to be a good errand in the underworld, and after death, you can still live in the underworld, and you don't have to be directly pulled into reincarnation as an uncertain biological species, tsk, it's really a good errand.

But in the end, there is no chance to be on an errand below, this time I have to follow Lao Wang to know a rough idea, so I asked some things that should be paid attention to below, and Lao Wang said that he did what he said before, don't mess around, there won't be any big trouble.

Chatting and chatting, the time was approaching 12 o'clock unconsciously, Lao Wang looked at the time, and then told me to prepare, and then I saw him take out a small token from the crossbody bag.

This token is not gold or jade, the whole is pitch black, in such darkness, if it weren't for the small token with a fairly eye-catching 'yin' word, I really didn't see such a token in his hand for a while.
