Chapter 5: Into the Town

Walking through the woods was much faster than before, and although I was curious, I didn't dare to ask casually, for fear of causing some trouble.

It feels much more terrifying than when I walked before, surrounded by black trees with no leaves, twisting and twisting, looking like a devil with teeth and claws.

Whew-whew-

A gust of wind blew, and Lao Wang suddenly stopped in place and looked around.

I couldn't help but get nervous when he did this, but when I saw that he just paused, turned back to me and nodded, and continued to walk briskly forward, I was also slightly relieved and hurriedly followed.

After walking out of this black forest in one breath, it was already halfway up the mountain, and when I followed Lao Wang to the top of the mountain and began to walk down a path down the mountain, Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

I was a little puzzled, and looked around, but I didn't see any ghost shadows here, and I really couldn't hold it back, so I asked, "That forest just now?"

Lao Wang glanced back, the pace under his feet did not stop, and while walking, he explained: "Except for the ghost beast big black dog, there are still a few old ghosts living in it, this time we are lucky, the darker one is not there, otherwise the two gold leaves will not be able to send those guys away." ”

It turns out that this is the case, and the feelings of this underworld are the same as those of the human world.

In the world, there are differences between people, some people are more greedy for money, and some people can only take one scoop. And this is even more so in this underworld, and it is even more tyrannical and savage.

"Is the rule here that strength is respected?" I asked.

Lao Wang nodded, and shook his head again: "Not entirely correct, but it's not much worse, as long as it's not in the town, as long as you have the ability, then you are the biggest, but when you enter the city or near the town, you have to obey the rules, otherwise the ghosts in the Yin Division will take you for questioning." ”

"I see. ”

"Well, one more thing, don't think that the ghosts here are the same as the halfling ghosts you saw before, no, there are many ghosts in the town that look similar to us, and of course there are all kinds of mutilated ghosts, such as headless, bodyless ghosts, and so on. ”

"Are they all translucent, then?"

"No, a lot of them are opaque, only when they are weak to a certain extent will they show a translucent appearance, the ghost before is not weak, it is like that, I have known him for more than ten years, and sometimes I will ask him to help me do something, of course, this reward must not be less. Lao Wang said.

"Understood. I looked into the distance, but I couldn't see any towns, so I asked, "How far is it?"

"It's not far away, let's go, you'll see more ghosts next, it's almost close to the town, and there will be a lot of ghost soldiers patrolling around. ”

I nodded, didn't continue to ask, and followed Lao Wang to bury his head and continue to hurry.

The speed slowed down a little, and after walking for about half an hour, we could see something shaking in front of us in the distance, and in the distance there seemed to be the outline of a town, which was where we were going this time.

"It's here, don't talk to the ghost soldiers when they come up to ask for a while, just listen to me. Lao Wang paused, turned his head and explained solemnly again.

I nodded, and my heart beat a little faster.

Sure enough, before we walked a few hundred meters, two ghost soldiers in light armor ran quickly in front of us, tall and big, and they were both holding a long knife in their hands.

Lao Wang smiled, took two gold leaves, talked to them in ghost language, and then turned and pointed to me, and then pointed to the town.

His actions made the two ghost soldiers look at me with great interest, and I also saw the appearance of the two ghost soldiers clearly at this time.

To be honest, I never thought that the ghosts in this underworld looked like big living people, but their faces were cold, and the slightest smile on their faces made me shudder.

After the ghost whispered for a while, Lao Wang took two more gold leaves and handed them to me, then turned his head and glanced at me, motioning for me to follow, and then he followed the two ghost soldiers in the direction of the town, I hurriedly took steps to follow, at this time I found that my knees were a little weak, and I stumbled and almost didn't kneel up.

To be honest, following behind these two ghost soldiers, the cold breath is really not covered, you turn on the air conditioner to the lowest level at home and don't cover the quilt, I'm afraid this is the feeling, and this is the cold that penetrates into the bones, not only the cold on the surface of the body.

With two ghost soldiers leading the way, Lao Wang and I were all the way unimpeded, and the ghost soldiers who passed by around only talked to the two ghost soldiers who led us the way when they passed by, and seemed to greet Lao Wang, and looked at me curiously, and then left.

After walking a few hundred meters ahead, the town became clearer and clearer, and you could see a row of city walls in the distance, stretching far from the left and right.

There is a gate in the center of the city wall, just like an ancient city, and there are ghost soldiers guarding the city gate, and you can also see ghosts entering and exiting through the gate.

The two ghost soldiers who led the way waited for us to reach the gate of the town, and then turned around and said something to Lao Wang, and then nodded to me and said something.

Lao Wang translated with a smile: "These two said that you hope to take care of one or two when you become a postman in the future, and you should communicate with them more after your kid joins the company, it will not hurt you." ”

I just nodded my head and said I had no opinion.

The two ghost soldiers laughed, waved their hands, and walked back to the way they came, continuing their patrol.

"Okay, we're here too, let's go, let's go into the city!" Lao Wang stepped forward directly, talked with the two ghost soldiers guarding the gate, and stretched out his hand to see two gold leaves, which made the two ghost soldiers guarding the city gate smile, and invited us to go in again and again.

When I entered the city, I looked up at the city gate, and there were several big characters engraved on it: Youdi Town.

Got a younger town?

It's a strange name, how can it be called such a name? There's a younger brother in the town?

The old king seemed to see my doubts, and after pulling me into the town, he explained it to me, and I understood.

The reason why it is called Youdi Town is because the name of the city emperor of this town, that is, the manager, is Feng Youdi, so it is called Youdi Town.

A small town like this is generally named after the emperor of the city, because here they say the same, only after arriving in some fixed big towns will there be a fixed name, and there will be no random name change like this town.

As soon as I entered the town, I looked curiously at the buildings around me.

The town buildings in this underworld look similar to the ancient buildings in the past, but they are also mixed with some modern styles, which may have been built here after the death of modern people.

The streets are not very wide, and there are some ghosts walking around at this time, and of course, there are quite a few floating around.

I was like a great enemy, and my nerves tightened, and I didn't dare to leave Lao Wang half a step, and followed him closely, because at this time, some ghosts came to greet Lao Wang, and some ghosts looked at me.

The old king dismissed the ghosts that were floating by, and then led me towards a street on the left.

Sure enough, Lao Wang is very familiar here, and he can basically say a word or two about the ghosts that come out, of course, there are many taciturn, just looking at me curiously, but not at Lao Wang.

After turning around and around, he soon came to the edge of a small wooden house, and Lao Wang looked up at the door number, and then walked up and knocked on the door, shouting a ghost whisper, and I didn't understand it.

After a while, the door creaked open, and the person in the door turned out to be a beautiful woman in a cheongsam and high heels?

When I was walking on the street just now, I didn't dare to look at those passing ghosts because I was afraid, but now that I am here, I have looked carefully, and my heart is also shocked.

What a beautiful woman!

Oh no, female ghost!

The old king smiled and said something, and then the female ghost invited us to sit in the house.

When he entered the house, Lao Wang didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a stack of gold leaves and a small cloth bag from his crossbody bag and put them on the table, and then he also took a pen and a piece of yellow paper out and put them on the side, saying something.

Then I saw that the female ghost first looked at the contents of the small cloth bag, and then showed a look of relief, and then grabbed the pen and signed her name on the yellow paper.

Before I could remember what the name was, Wang had already put away the yellow paper and pen, said something with a smile, and then pulled me away.

The beautiful woman stood in the doorway and waved to us, not knowing what to say.

I now understand that if you want to be a courier in this realm, the first necessary condition is to be able to understand the ghost's speech, and you must be able to speak this ghost language!

Immediately, I asked, "Hey, I said Lao Wang, how can I learn this ghost language?"

Lao Wang smiled: "It's uncomfortable, isn't it?"

I nodded depressedly.

"Don't be in a hurry, when you really get into the job, you will naturally be. Lao Wang patted me on the shoulder: "Did you see it just now? I came down this trip to send her a courier, and the remuneration for this trip is 200,000 yuan. ”

"Two, two hundred thousand?" I was surprised.

Just like that, I brought something down from the world, gave it to a ghost, and then I made 200,000 yuan?

But think about it, this road is full of dangers, and it can be said that there is a danger to life, so 200,000 seems to be worth it.

"Look at your unproductive appearance? Am I repaying the favor? If it is not a favor, they will have to at least triple it for me! Of course, I am mainly bringing you here this time, and the courier is only an addition. "The old king said.

My eyes widened, "Triple it?"

"Okay, don't talk about this, my courier has been delivered this time, and then I'll take you to Chenghuang Mansion, remember not to talk nonsense, if you don't understand what they say, it doesn't mean they can't understand your words, you must know that they all spoke Chinese before they died, unless you go to the Western realm, where they speak bird language." The old king shrugged.

"Oh, so I'm going to go through the onboarding now, or do I continue to take some test?" I asked.

"According to common sense, the test is basically a success, if you fail, you can't come here, it's because your physique can't bear the cold air here, but now you are still alive and well. How's it going, what's wrong with it?"

"It's cold, the bones feel cold, a little hard, the rest...... I haven't shown up for a while, so I guess I'm going to catch a cold. "I held my forehead, and I was really not optimistic about my current state.

Lao Wang smiled: "That's basically normal, after going back for the first time, everyone will be seriously ill, you have to be mentally prepared, and when you get better, you can slowly adapt to it when you come back in the future." ”

"A serious illness?" I wanted to cry without tears, "Is it serious?"

"I don't know about this or this, I just had a fever for a few days, and then I was fine. Lao Wang waved his hand: "Okay, it's all here, I'll take you to the City God's Mansion, and then you will be able to see the legendary black and white impermanence, hehe." ”

"Black & White...... My God......" I swallowed hard and followed the old dynasty down another street, full of thoughts about getting rich at first sight and peace in the world......
