The two imps went through the window, and Shang Wan and Zhong Wan chased after each other.

After chasing for four or five miles, the two of them each caught a little ghost and put him on the grass at the edge of the rice field.

Zhong Wan pulled out the seven-star sword from behind his back and shouted, "Bold little ghost, you don't want to stay in the netherworld, but why did you run to the yang realm to touch the rats and dogs and thieves and disturb people's homes?"

The two imps fell to their knees, trembling and panicking.

One of the thin ghosts trembled and said: "The Taoist chief spares his life, the Taoist chief spares his life, and the small one is Feng ......."

As soon as the first half of the sentence was spoken, another fat ghost suddenly grabbed the thin ghost's thigh, grinning in pain, and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into its stomach.

The fat ghost pretended to cry and answered: "The younger two were brothers, both died at the hands of robbers, because they thought that the old mother of the family lived alone in the yang realm, helpless, lonely, and was ready to steal some gold and silver to help her old man live, but was unexpectedly discovered by the two Taoist masters, and asked the two Taoist masters to be merciful and spare us once." ”

"Yes, yes, please have mercy on the two Taoist elders and spare us once. The thin ghost chimed in.

"Look at you two filial ghosts, I will spare you today, and you will not be allowed to come out to scratch the people of the Yang Realm in the future. Shang Wan is kind-hearted, and if she believes it is true, she will have mercy.

"Yes yes yes ......"

"If the two little ones don't scratch the people in the Yang Realm again, they will retire, and they will retire......"

The two little imps kowtowed to thank them, and ran away in a panic with a gust of wind.

Zhong Wan was angry about the dirty things that the two ghosts did, but he was embarrassed to speak.

At this time, he doubted: "Senior sister: how can there be any matter of the ghosts of the netherworld honoring the people of the yang realm, doesn't this violate the law of yin? I think there must be something else hidden!"

Shang Wan was pitiful for a while, but she didn't think about it, so she said, "Forget it...... That man in the prime of life looks like a rich man, so why not scare him and give him some gold and silver to the poor?"

"Okay, forget it!" Zhong Wan threw his hand, expressing helplessness.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to stay first, and then continue to look tomorrow. Shang Wan suggested.

Zhong Wan nodded in agreement and withdrew the seven-star sword from its scabbard.

So the two of them continued along the loess road, intending to find an inn or farmhouse to stay in, but they thought that they would be able to find a place to spend the night after a short walk, but they did not find a single village after a journey, and the mountain road became more and more winding and rugged, and they all winded around the ridges of the mountain.

The two of them were helpless, ready to go against the wind, and suddenly saw that on the side of the road in front of them, there was a broken earth god temple of the Charm Forest, green fire phosphorus, yin qi was everywhere, and from time to time there were ghost fires flying in from all directions.

Zhong Wan was surprised: "Senior sister, why are there so many ghost fires gathered in the Tuhuang Temple in front of you?"

"I saw it too, why are there so many ghost fires?"

"Strange thing! Senior sister, let's take a look. Zhong Wan's words fell, he walked like flying, and the figure was lost.

Shang Wan was helpless, stepped on the wind under her feet, and rushed towards the earth-broken God's Temple.

The Tuhuang Temple has a radius of dozens of zhang and is open, the courtyard wall is low, the gatehouse is destroyed, the corridor and the hall are peeled off, and the barren wormwood grass that is more than one meter high grows inside and out, which is very desolate and desolate.

In the darkness of the sky, many ghost fires of green phosphorus and phosphorus flew into the Tuhuang Temple one after another, and they were wiped out in an instant.

Shang Wan and Zhong Wan walked quickly, and arrived at the Tuhuang Temple in a short time. The two of them crossed the low courtyard wall and sneaked under the window in front of the temple to spy on what was going on in the temple.

I saw that in the dim and charming light and shadow, after the confession in the hall, Yang Tuhuang sat in the place, with a purple face and white eyes, and he was very scary.

On the painted offering was a large iron merit box.

On each side of the confession stood a ghost general with a white face and unkempt sideburns, holding a black and slippery Pu knife and an iron fork in his hands. But under the hall there were more than forty little ghosts, silent.

After Yang Tuhuang inspected the little ghosts, he asked, "Twist the spirit, twist the monster, have everyone arrived?"

"Report to Yang Ye: I haven't come back to Huangjiachong's Huche Bus Road. The lower left ghost replied.

"That's fine! Lord Chenghuang is urging these days, so he won't wait for him to drive around. Everyone, hurry up and offer it, and I'll go to the city god tomorrow night to pay off. Then Yang Tuhuang said, patted the merit box with his hand and said, "Let's start." Twist the fine, keep the book, twist the monster, weigh the scale!"

When the little ghosts heard this, they got up one after another, lined up in a long snake formation, and slowly walked to the merit box one by one, or from their bosoms, or from their sleeves, and took out pieces of shining things.

Huh?

It turns out that those shiny things are golden miles!

But the gold was in the shape of ingots, and in the shape of long strips, and in the shape of square bricks, and in pieces...... It comes in a variety of sizes and sparkles.

One by one, the imps handed the gold to the twisted monster and weighed it.

The twist weighed it on a small scale and poured it into the merit box. He stood aside, holding the ledger in his left hand and the notebook in his right hand. After two meals, all the gold was weighed, and all the accounts were recorded.

All the little ghosts retreated to His Highness and stood.

Yang Tuhuang asked, "Twist the spirit: are the numbers all ready?"

Twist Li Jing replied: "Report to Yang Ye: There is still a short of one hundred and thirty-one twenty-seven dollars." ”

"What! There is still a difference of one hundred and thirty-one twenty-seven coins? Why is it that these two times of gold always do not make up enough numbers, what is going on?" Yang Tuhuang's purple face sank and he asked.

When the little imps heard and asked, they all lay on the ground, their buttocks were raised high, and they were trembling.

There was silence in the hall, and only Yang Tuhuang's two white eyes swept around.

After a long time, a thin ghost raised his head slightly, and timidly reported: "The little ones are low-minded, afraid of yang energy, afraid of glory, and have always only sought those decrepit and poor families to collect gold. On this realm, it has been scraped several times, and now there are only some yang energy and glorious people left, although there is gold, but the small ones are afraid and dare not go, so it is becoming more and more difficult. ”

"! It's not good to do things, but you use words to prevaricate Yang Ye!" Yang Tuhuang said angrily, "Do you have to worry about Yang Ye and I losing my head?"

"Don't dare...... The little one didn't dare to ......" The thin ghost kept kowtowing to the ground, but in fact, it was one of the two ghosts that Shang Wan Zhongwan had met.

Seeing this, all the little ghosts were also so frightened that they kowtowed like garlic: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare ......."

At this time, Twist Li Jing hurriedly said, "Please Yang Ye to calm his anger." The brothers are all little ghosts, afraid of the yang energy and the glory of the glory, it is not unreasonable, if the amount of gold is not enough, I wonder if you can be accommodating to the city god and replace it with silver and jade and other objects? ”

"How many times have I told you, gold! What Lord Chenghuang wants is gold, not anything else!" Yang Tuhuang said angrily.

"That'...... It is not easy to do, for there is a time when the gold in this land is dried up, and there is no day of satisfaction in that place. Twist muttered.

"I'm going to the county tomorrow night to pay my errand, last month's gold is still owed, if this month is not paid, Bacheng will be like Ge Tuhuang in the east, and his head will be lost. Yang Tuhuang glared.

"Master Yang, the little one here has an idea: let the brothers work hard again tonight, and be sure to scrape together enough one hundred and thirty-one twenty-seven dollars of gold, what do you think?"

"Well, it works, so let's do it. Yang Tuhuang nodded, and then commanded, "But you have to remember: go and return quickly, and you must not wait until dawn to make up enough numbers." ”

"Yes!" the imps agreed in unison.

"Don't waste any more time, let's go as soon as possible. Yang Tuhuang waved his hand and ordered the little ghosts to go to the errand quickly, while he himself sat down on the back chair in a gloomy state.

The conversation between Yang Tuhuang and the little ghosts in the Tuhuang Temple had already been heard clearly by Shang Wan Zhongwan, who was hiding under the window of the temple, and he did not drop a word.

When Zhong Wan just observed the hall, he had already found that the two ghosts, one fat and one thin, were also among them, and when he heard their conversation at this time, he immediately became angry. He muttered, "It turns out that this earth god personally ordered those little ghosts to do this hurtful deed, since I have met them, how can I spare them?"

Zhong Wan said, raised his hand and drew his sword, ready to break into the hall, but was suddenly grabbed by Shang Wan's arm.

"Senior brother should not be reckless, listen to the words of the earth god, it seems that there is a mastermind behind this scene, let's not startle the snake first, and then take a closer look to see what tricks they are playing. Shang Wan said in a low voice.

When Zhong Wan heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he retracted his body and hid under the window with Shang Wan, continuing to wait and see.

The little ghosts obeyed the order, and each of them walked out of the temple gate one after another. But just after walking down the steps, I caught a glimpse of Huang Jiachong's Hu Che Badao two little ghosts staggering into the gatehouse.

"Hu Cheba said: Why did you two come back so late? Yang Ye is waiting to reward you with two miles!" the thin ghost laughed.

Hu Che Badao grimaced bitterly, and did not respond, and the puppets generally walked towards the courtyard.

"What's the matter, why don't you ignore me?" the thin ghost stepped forward with a grin, pinched the face of the bearded car ghost, and pulled the old man, but he didn't even respond.

The thin ghost was feeling strange, and he was kicked under his crotch, and he covered his crotch and jumped up in pain: "Whew! Wow! Wow......"

"Hahahaha......" the imps laughed.

But I saw that the two ghosts of Hu Che and Badao had already rushed into the hall, and the ghost of Badao seemed to be carrying a big burlap bag behind him.

When the little ghosts found out, they were all envious:

"Wow...... So much gold! This burlap bag has been dragged to the ground!"

"No wonder it's so vivid!"

"Such a big bag of gold seems to be enough, but it saves us a lot of hard work. Let's go back and see what Yang Ye says. ”

"Yes, go back, go back and see. ”

With an echo, all the little ghosts turned back to the Tuhuang Temple in a noisy.
