Chapter 83: Death in the City
Meng Po knew the purpose of the two of them coming to the underworld this time, so she looked for the list registered when the little ghosts drank the soup. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are countless people who come to Meng Po to drink soup every day, but fortunately, Meng Po is organized, and the booklet is very clear.
But there is no registration information for Qian Tong.
"Did she die on Huangquan Road?" Xiao Qingtian asked.
Meng Po shook her head and said, "Even if it is a little ghost who dies on Huangquan Road, I will have a name on this book," Meng Po said and pointed to the booklet, "You see." ”
The column she was referring to was followed by the words: No soup. Those who died in the Huangquan Road Illusion are remembered on the roster as if they had not drunk the soup, because they were addicted to the illusion and did not know that they were actually dead and had no chance of reincarnation.
So didn't Qian Tong come to the underworld after his death?
Meng Po heard about the scene when Qian Tong died, and pointed them out a place to go: the city of death.
The city of the dead is a separate city in the underworld, which provides a place for those who die in vain. Wrongful death, on the other hand, refers to those who die unjustly due to suicide, disasters, wars, accidents, murders, etc., rather than dying.
If these people can't let go of the resentment in their hearts and are unwilling to drink Meng Po soup to reincarnate, they will be led to the city of vain death by the messenger before entering the Huangquan Road. It is not until the end of their true life span, or after they let go of their resentment when they see that the person who murdered them has received retribution, that they can drink Meng Po soup and be reincarnated.
The spirits in the city of vain death can live like ordinary people, and even fall in love and get married, but there is one condition that they do not have absolute freedom. Before they can be reincarnated, they must stay in the city of the dead, not only can they not accept the sacrifices of relatives and friends in the human world, but they are also not allowed to wander around the human world during the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival like other little ghosts.
However, like the Wangxiang Terrace at the head of the bridge, there is a Wangchen Platform at the gate of the Vain Death City, and the residents of the Vain Death City can climb the Wangchen Platform to check whether the person who murdered them has received retribution, so as to decide whether to let go of resentment and reincarnate.
Like Su Yiyi, she was also going to enter the dead city in vain. However, due to her special status, she was not limited to the city of vain, but arranged for the work to be completed. At the end of her establishment period of one hundred years, she can decide for herself whether to let go of her resentment and reincarnate or enter the life of the city of vain.
Judging from the fact that Qian Tong was innocently killed, she is indeed very likely to be directly led into the city of death.
Xiao Qingtian and Wang Ze'an decided to go to the city of vain to take a look.
However, in order to limit the scope of the activities of the unjust souls, no one knows the specific location of the city in the underworld, and some people even say that the city is an active city, and its position is different from the previous moment every minute and every second. And if you want to enter and exit the city of the dead, you can only use the imps of the city of the dead.
Fortunately, Meng Po helped them contact the little ghost in the city of vain.
However, the place where the little ghosts pick up each time is at the entrance of Huangquan Road, and they can't enter Huangquan Road if they don't report in advance. So Wang Ze'an and Qingtian had to go retrograde on Huangquan Road again.
They were greeted by wandering spirits, either pale or blind, and even many spirits rushed into the flower fields screaming in front of them. This feeling is quite similar to driving in the wrong direction on the highway.
At the entrance of Huangquan Road, there were two little ghosts in black robes, twins, who were sixteen or seventeen years old, but they were quite old in doing things.
After determining the purpose of the two of them, the two leading imps glanced at each other, and each dragged the two of them with a tacit understanding, and between the words, Xiao Qingtian felt that the scenery in front of him began to change rapidly.
In front of you, you can pass the delicate Manzhu Sawa on the Huangquan Road, the brilliant night sky in the middle of the night in the human world, the crescent moon with the color of rust red in the underworld, the high-rise buildings in the city, and the barren grass in the underworld.
The scene is finally frozen in a bustling street market.
Although the city of the dead is a separate city, it is still in the underworld. In order to allow the residents of the city to live a life that is no different from the human world, the city lord chose to use a large night pearl to imitate the day and night cycle of the human world. It was nighttime, and the place they were in was the city's famous nighttime snack street.
Since the ghosts do not feel tired and cold, there are no four seasons in the city, but the lord of the castle requires the ghosts to rest for six hours every day when the night pearl falls, as much as possible in the human world, but the clothing is not uniform.
Therefore, among the people who come and go on the snack street, there are some wearing summer dresses and some wearing winter warm clothes, which is quite novel for the two on a sunny day.
The twin imps are only responsible for bringing people into or out of the city, and are not responsible for the subsequent settlement of the ghosts. Some of the imps will go to the city of the dead to find their former relatives and friends, while others will use the money they have to do business and accumulate wealth.
Xiao Qingtian and Wang Ze'an walked from one end of the snack street to the other, but they didn't dare to try to take a bite. In fact, those things look pretty good, steaming, fragrant, and the surrounding environment is not much different from in the human world, but Xiao Qingtian just doesn't dare to try it.
The result of not daring to try was to stare at the stalls and drool, Wang Ze'an looked at her helplessly, so he had to take out two banknotes from his pocket and ask the boss: "Do you accept banknotes in the city?"
The boss was busy, and when he heard his question, he hurriedly looked up at his hand, and the movement of his hand stopped: "Yo, you are from the human world?"
Wang Ze'an held the money and nodded a little embarrassedly, but the boss smiled heartily: "It's okay, it's okay, you can use it." What would you like to eat?"
"Ten skewers of mutton skewers!" Xiao Qingtian said happily, dragging Wang Ze'an to sit down at the table next to him.
The boss called the guy to help, and he sat down with a smile on his face and talked to the two. There are ghosts everywhere here, and the two of them gradually began to get used to it, seeing that the boss was a simple middle-aged man, Xiao Qingtian slowly let go, and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Can we eat the things of your dead city?"
The boss laughed again when she heard this, Xiao Qingtian was a little embarrassed when she laughed, she didn't understand how the boss said a word, she had to laugh dozens of times first, she seriously suspected that this boss was laughing to death......
finally suppressed the laughter, and the boss said mysteriously: "Actually, to be honest, you still have some influence on the things you eat in this dead city." ”
Wasn't the lamb skewer bought for nothing...... Xiao Qingtian was a little distressed.
"But," the boss said again, "it's just a good influence, hahahahahaha." ”
He laughed again.
