Chapter 239: Mirage
readx;?ā Don't have a surname?"
When the fat judge heard this, he muttered, with a look of pity: "It's not easy for a ghost without a surname to mix up in the city of vain." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
After saying that, he shut up and just looked at the sorrow.
Seeing that he was stunned, he vaguely felt that this judge still had something to say, so he tentatively spoke: "The villain has just arrived in the underworld, but he doesn't know what the harm is in not having a surname, can he ...... Could you please advise the Judge?"
The judge raised his eyebrows, pressed the "Ghost Book of the Dead City" with his hand, and said majestically: "Most of the ghosts in the dead city have the same surname as their family, and if there is an incident, you can call relatives and friends for help." You're a new ghost, and you don't have a name, I'm afraid it's hard to move an inch. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Stunned.
This ghost in the city who died in vain even played the imperial examination to recognize what fellow villagers in the same year?
And......
A dignified judge, although he looks fat, he is not kissable at all, but he looks fierce and vicious, but he doesn't look like a kind person.
What do you want to do by mentioning this to her?
The heart is racing rapidly, and it will not take long to understand when you are worried.
The fat judge, who was sitting high above, couldn't help but look gloomy when he saw that she didn't speak.
It's really rare to see such an eyeless new ghost.
If it was really changed to the introduction division to deal with the introduction of new ghosts in the dead city, he would not teach these new ghosts to teach, what are the "rules"!
I felt uncomfortable in my heart, and I couldn't help but say it, the fat judge looked at the sad eyes and became more and more unkind, and said coldly: "This judge's registry is in charge of recording the names and surnames of all ghosts in the dead city, and if you change your name and surname before the registration, you can also do it." Do you want a surname?"
Seeing that the pestle was there, it didn't move.
The big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost stood on the side, sweating in a hurry, and didn't dare to show the relationship between himself and Jianchou, for fear of being noticed, so he could only stand in place and didn't dare to move.
This fat judge clearly wants to see sorrow and give "money to the surname Yi", but their "sorrowful honor" was so wise and wise before, why didn't there be any movement at this time?
It's so incomprehensible.
In the main hall of the recording office, only a light shadow could be seen, and it was so quiet that no sound could be heard.
Seeing Chou standing on the ground below the fat judge, he looked up at the fat judge, thought for a moment, and finally bowed very sincerely: "Seeing that Chou was born without a surname, it is really unnecessary to have a new surname, and the judge has good intentions, so I have to live up to it." ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Disappoint?!
The fat judge was simply stunned!
How many years have you been in the City of the Dead?
The fat judge himself can't remember.
This place is rich in oil and water, and he was lucky to get this position two hundred years ago, and since he started to collect all kinds of fees, he has never seen such a person who does not know how to lift!
Didn't even ask the price and refused?
Is this an ignorant stupid woman, or a lump of elm?!
Almost annoyed and angry, glaring at the hall with sorrow, the fat judge's body trembled and almost didn't sit still, his face was already cloudy, and his chest was even more up and down, which showed that he was very angry.
"You, you--you don't know how to lift! Come on, just register her!"
"Yes!"
In the thick shadow behind them, two thin bamboo pole-like ghost officials in the registry office had been standing for a while, still muttering in their hearts that this new ghost really couldn't get oil and water.
Suddenly, when he heard the judge's shout, he immediately trembled with fright, and reflexively responded.
When he looked up again, the fat judge had already shaken the flesh and brushed his sleeves away.
The confiscation of those who wanted to take bribes, and the sorrow of those who had already planned to send away the bribes was not good to call this judge back at this time, so he had to watch him go.
The big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost almost cried.
Who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen when they just entered the registration office? Didn't they all say that they should "honor" the judges and the imps?
Well, now that the judges are gone, they're really going to sleep on the street tonight.
The two thin bamboo pole-like ghost officials from the registry office walked up, one holding a jade plate in his hand, took the new ghost register from the little ghost's hand, checked the basic situation of Jianchou, and wrote something on the jade plate with one hand, and the last handprint was punched out, and the jade card was given to Jianchou.
"You have not yet reached the end of your life, and you still have fifty-three years to die. This jade plaque is a proof that you have died in vain in the city, and those who have this plaque are not allowed to leave the city without permission, and after fifty-three years, when it is time for you to die, they will be sent to reincarnation. You've got your stuff to go. ā
Knowing that Jianchou was afraid that he would not be able to scrape any oil and water on his body, the ghost officials who gave the jade plate didn't even bother to give Jianchou a straight eye.
The ghost official who came over with the ghost book held a pen at the center of his eyebrows, and pulled out a thin silk thread, which he shook his hand and threw into the ghost book.
When the silk thread fell on the page, it automatically coiled up like a curved snake, and wound it into several simple seals, like words, and completely printed on the ghost book.
Presumably, this is considered naturalization.
Seeing this, I thought that this process was simple, but I had some other questions in my heart that I wanted to ask.
But before Jianchou found a chance to speak, the ghost official who registered for her snorted coldly, and he didn't see Chou, but only looked at the big-headed ghost and small-headed ghost who were waiting next to him.
"You two are new here, aren't they? I don't know what the rules are in our registry! Next time you bring a new ghost, if you still have this virtue and don't understand any rules, we adults will be angry. ā
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the little ones who don't understand the rules, next time they must change it, they must change it......"
The little head ghost felt bitter in his heart, thinking that he hadn't said it, or that he hadn't mentioned it, and he didn't know what to think about it. are all ghost officials, he is a little ghost who leads the division, where does he dare to spread wild in the registration office?
At that moment, he vigorously apologized and nodded.
Seeing that he was still acquainted, the two ghost officials arrogantly put the ghost book together, put it back in the distance, raised his hand and said, "The ghost book has been recorded, hurry up and get out!"
The small-headed ghost suddenly felt like he had been pardoned, and he dragged the sorrowful and big-headed ghost on it, and retreated directly.
As usual, he passed through the two stone statues, returned the same way, and returned to the streets of the city of vain death.
It was already the middle of the night, and the streets were still quiet.
Seeing that Chou was pulled out by the small-headed ghost, when he arrived here, he stopped, looked back, and the Register Office of the City of Vain Death looked calm and low against the background of the two statues.
"Well, this ...... Seeing the sorrowful Dazun, what do you think?" The little head ghost also stopped, bitter in his heart, crying with a sad face, and was aggrieved, "Didn't we all say okay?"
Seeing sorrow, he knew that he was talking about giving bribes.
As soon as she touched the Qiankun bag in her sleeve, she herself smiled bitterly, but she had already done it once, but she didn't want to do it a second time.
No matter where you go or what kind of person you become, seeing sorrow is seeing sorrow, and you will never change.
It's just that there is no need to say these words to the little head ghost, even if they say it with all their might, these two guys may not be able to understand why she is obsessed, and they simply don't explain it.
She stood on the street, pacing two steps with her hands in her hands, quite leisurely.
"The matter is a foregone conclusion, so what's the point of pursuing it further? I still don't know enough about the City of the Dead, so I wonder how long you two can stay here?"
"I'm going to leave when it's dawn. The little head ghost looked regretful.
The big-headed ghost looked around reluctantly.
Obviously, for the two little ghosts who live in the wilderness, such a prosperous city of vain death is an unattainable existence in the past.
Now that I have seen and left, I have too much reluctance.
But what can it be?
The little head ghost rolled his eyes: "I'm sorry for the dead city, I and the big head only know the fur, and we have no place to sleep tonight." So what...... Seeing sorrow, aren't you quite familiar with Lao Zhang......? Shall we ask?"
āā¦ā¦ I'm afraid that I can't ask anything, and I can't please anything. ā
In the end, Zhang Tang helped her, and now if she wants to ask someone again, she has to think about it.
However, it can be regarded as a last resort.
"Anyway, it's all sleeping on the street, so it's better to go to Lao Zhang's door to sleep...... Otherwise, what if he leaves tomorrow morning, what will we do......"
Then there's no chance at all.
The little head is ghostly, thinking of Zhang Tang's harshness and responsibility that is very different from ordinary people, I am afraid that he will leave the city before dawn.
If you don't wait for the rabbit, God knows what will happen.
After thinking about it, it was true, and I simply agreed.
About half an hour later, the three guys who couldn't find a place to live sat on the threshold of Zhang Tang's mansion without saying a word.
The cold wind passed through the wide streets, and the buildings of various postures stood in the darkness, and the eighteen floors above ground stood clearly in the middle.
first met Zhang Tang, then entered the Vain Death City together, found the Misty Immortal together, solved the problem of the living body, and finally went to the Records Office, completely becoming one of the new ghosts in the Vain Death City......
After the tossing and turning of the middle of the night, it was almost dawn.
Seeing that Chou was a monk, even if the form of this ghost seemed to be a little weak, far less than when she was a human, she was not particularly tired.
So at this moment, she didn't feel the slightest sleep.
On the contrary, the cold wind blew her face, and she became more and more sober.
Sitting casually under the threshold, she flipped through it, and the stone bead given by the fairy in the fog lay in her palm, and rolled twice.
"So I'd rather offend the other nine clans than offend the ghost royal clan...... The ghosts of the city are generally forbidden to kill each other, but this rule doesn't work much anymore......"
ā¦ā¦
The head ghost and the small head ghost racked their brains, telling all the reliable or unreliable rumors they had heard.
Before you know it, time passes.
Zhang Tang has always been self-disciplined, or self-disciplined, and he must be the first to pick up the division every day, even if he is now in the city of vain, he should not be an exception.
Therefore, as the little head ghost complained, today's Zhang Tang got up before dawn.
This mansion is much smaller and simpler than when he was an official when he was alive.
However, one thing has not changed.
That's how you look at it, how this mansion doesn't look like a place where people live.
It's too clean and simple, it's like an empty yard, and you can't even see a few furnishings.
Zhang Tang is not addicted to pleasure, so he wants nothing else.
The most in his house are none other than crows perched on the trees in the garden.
After washing up slightly, he changed into a new clean official uniform, and then tied his hair up with a crown, Zhang Tang's face was cold, and his eyes were cold.
He stepped out the door, past the empty atrium, and the sound of his footsteps was unusually clear.
The two doors were closed as they were when he closed them yesterday, and Zhang Tang pulled the bolt with both hands and finally opened the door.
"Squeak ......"
The doorshaft rubbed, and suddenly there was a screeching sound, piercing the entire silent darkness.
At that moment, the little head ghost whose head almost hit the ground was frightened by this voice, and the whole tail bone was cold, and he jumped up directly as soon as he was excited: "Who?!"
Zhang Tang was still holding the door with both hands, and there was no expression on a dead man's face, just looking at the small-headed ghost, and ......
The big-headed ghost who has slept dead on the ground and the waves are not shocked.
Imagine how it would feel to wake up early in the morning and open the door to find three poor beggars sleeping at the door all night.
Zhang Tang had no expression, and he couldn't get a glimpse of her heart when he saw sorrow.
Unhurriedly got up, she clapped her hands, and was very grateful to Zhang Tang: "Thanks to Lord Zhang's care, the registration office has been registered with me." I wonder if Master Zhang could sleep peacefully last night?"
Zhang Tang didn't answer, turned around and closed the door.
The little head ghost was startled just now, but now that he realized that it was Zhang Tang, he was even more cowardly.
He quietly kicked over and kicked the big-headed ghost, but he didn't expect the big-headed ghost to still fall asleep and ignore it.
At this time, Zhang Tang glanced at the big-headed ghost lukewarmly, and also glanced at the small-headed ghost, and then answered the worried question: "Don't worry about it." ā
"Lord Zhang can sleep peacefully, cough ......" coughed, and said worriedly, "Last night, according to the guidance of the adults, I waited to go to the registration office to register, but the registration office did not tell us what to pay attention to in the city of vain, let alone arrange a place for us to live. Master Zhang has been dying in the city for a long time, and he doesn't know ......"
What doesn't need to be said, it's all left in the aftermath.
It is naturally very smart to speak when you see sorrow.
Zhang Tang is also a smart person, how can he not hear such a plain meaning?
He walked down the steps, and under the frightened gaze of the small-headed ghost, he stepped on a pair of soap boots, stepped over the sleeping big-headed ghost, and said to him: "Today is just the opening of the mountain and sea market." ā
Shanhai City?
When I saw that I was worried and remembered the words that the little head ghost had said, I suddenly became enlightened for a moment.
"Thank you ......"
The word "Xie" was just out, and before he could finish his words, Zhang Tang wrung his brows and saw a sad look, the little condensed light under his eyes was a little heavier, and he didn't speak, so he turned around and walked directly to the other side of the street.
"This ......"
The little head is so speechless that he doesn't dare to speak.
Zhang Tang obviously doesn't like her very much.
Seeing the sorrow, I can see it, maybe it's because of Xie Buchen, I don't want to see it?
Anyway, she couldn't figure out why, she only kept Zhang Tang's eyes in mind, and she didn't think much about it, but asked the little head ghost: "Little head, you told me about Shanhai City before, but it appeared at dawn?"
"Shanhai City, is this the hour, right...... I get it!"
The small-headed ghost slapped his head, his eyes lit up, and he became excited.
"Yes, you have something, we can go to Shanhai Market to sell it!
Shanhai City, take the meaning of Shanshi Haishi.
Every once in a while, it appears at dawn and is a huge trading bazaar, which appears in a cycle among the great cities of the underworld, and is mysterious and abnormal.
All the people who do business in Shanhai City also have strong strength!
And Zhang Tang said that today is the time for Shanhai City to appear!
Seeing the sorrowful eyes, they also brightened.
At this time, the sky had gradually brightened, and in the entire city of vain, there was a fog, covering the whole city in the blink of an eye.
At the moment of dawn, a majestic coercion suddenly rose from the fog, like ripples.
"Buzz ......"
It seems that even the space in the sky is faintly shaken!
A hazy golden light actually rose from the mist, like a golden snake, swimming in the mist, outlining a magnificent outline......
The green and dark are vast, the dust is reckless, the green tiles are flying, and the people are in the market.
It was as if high-rise buildings were rising from the ground, and in an instant, in this ethereal space, there was a huge city, which seemed to be real and illusory, suspended in the sky above the city of vain!
"Mirage ......"
