Chapter 35: The Treasure of Hades
The old lady didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted: "No, I never said that I wanted to put a large refrigerator in the grave, I just used an analogy, I meant to put a small object in the coffin with the same properties as a refrigerator, which can keep the body in the coffin at a temperature similar to that of an ice cube. And the object is not as big as you think, in fact it is very delicate, very small, the area of the object can be placed in the coffin, and it can produce a large amount of ice on its own without electricity, so as to protect the corpse in the coffin. β
I was stunned and looked at her with a look of incredulity, "Are you saying that you can place an object in the coffin that is equivalent to an ice cube, and that object can be cooler than the ice?" β
The old lady said triumphantly: "That's right, that's the way it is, my husband's coffin has such an object that magically protects the corpse." This object is capable of producing a large amount of ice on its own, forming a super-large capacity ice storehouse. To tell you the truth, this object can not only protect the corpse from decay, but also cure all kinds of diseases of our human beings, and that object is a treasure in its entirety. β
I couldn't help but laugh: "If there really is such a magical small object in the world that protects corpses, then wouldn't all the corpses of the dead be kept from rotting?" Wouldn't this kind of magical object be sold for a sky-high price? β
The old lady frowned, shook her head, and said, "The ignorance of human beings is vividly reflected in you. β
I heard her say this, and I couldn't care about her identity as my elder anymore, I rolled my eyes and snorted coldly: "But in fact, there is no such magical object in the real society?" β
She snorted, "Of course we don't have this kind of magical object here, but don't we have such an object in other worlds?" β
I was suddenly shocked and lost my voice, "What do you mean by that?" What is the other world? β
She snorted: "If there is no such magical treasure in the yang world, there will be no such magical treasure in the underworld?" β
I took a big step back in surprise, then exhaled deeply and said, "Are you saying that you have such a magical treasure in the underworld, and you put this treasure on the body of the old lady, so the body of the old lady can be preserved?" β
She nodded heavily and said, "That's right, that's what it means." I do possess such a treasure, but unfortunately that treasure no longer belongs to our yang world, it has returned to the underworld. β
I stayed for a long time and said, "You said that the treasure is something from the underworld?" So how did it get into your old man's hands? β
She coughed, "Have you ever heard a famous saying?" β
I asked curiously, "What quote?" β
She waved at me and motioned for me to walk over to her. Of course, I walked over immediately, and just as I walked up to her, she whispered in my ear, "Money can make a devil grind." β
I looked at this centenarian lady in amazement, and I felt that she seemed very mysterious.
I boldly imagined it, and I couldn't help but say what I was thinking, and I said, "Are you saying that you used the Netherworld to buy off the officials of the underworld so that they sold that magical treasure to you?" β
She said vividly: "Hehe, your child's reasoning and imagination skills are very good!" β
I frowned and said, "If money can really make ghosts grind, then wouldn't everyone in the world be able to bribe the highest officials in the underworld with the underworld coin?" β
She rolled her eyes, waved her hand again and again, and said: "Wrong, wrong, there is one thing you must know, not all people have the ability to meet the officials of the underworld, since they can't see the officials, of course, there is no way to bribe them, but the saying that money can make ghosts grind has been handed down for thousands of years, so how can it have no basis at all?" This statement certainly has its credibility. Only some gifted people can relate to the officials in the Yin Division, such as those with yin and yang eyes. β
I scratched my head and said, "You seem to have said before that your old man has yin and yang eyes, and he can see some things in the underworld at night. β
The old lady said proudly: "That's right, I belong to the category of talented people, and naturally I have the fate to contact the officials of the Yin Division." β
I was shocked and asked in a tone of disbelief, "Then wouldn't you be able to contact the king of Hades directly and ask him to give your old man a few more decades of longevity?" β
The old lady smiled bitterly: "Child, you think too much, how can there be such a good thing." They wouldn't do that. β
I was puzzled and said, "According to your theory just now, since money can make ghosts grind, and you can contact the Hades of the underworld, then why can't you bribe them to add Yang Shou to you?" β
The old lady sighed: "The king of Hades and the judges will not mess around, and the reason why they dare not come here is also reasonable, they are the highest officials of the Yin Division, on the one hand, they want what they want in the underworld, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they don't need too much underworld currency, so they don't need us to bribe, on the other hand, although they are the highest officials in the underworld, but they are also subject to the jurisdiction of the gods, they naturally dare not blatantly corrupt the law." β
The old lady paused and continued, "But, if you think about the small and medium-sized officials under the king of Hades and the judges, don't they need money in the underworld? β
I nodded and said, "Your old man's analysis is very reasonable, could it be that you bribed those medium-sized officials with the Netherworld coin, so as to buy the PokΓ©mon that can make the corpse not rot in their hands?" β
The old lady suddenly sighed and muttered to herself, "Yes, that treasure is really amazing, but unfortunately when I first got it, I didn't believe that it would have such a magical function...... I thought it was the official of the Yin Division who deceived me, so I later took it ...... in order to be real I put it in my husband's coffin. A year after my husband had been buried, I had secretly dug up his grave and opened his coffin on a dark and windy night, and I saw with my own eyes that his body had been preserved exactly as it had been before his death. This proves that the official in Hades did not deceive me, I ...... I was amazed and delighted, and I began to think about it for myself. I'm starting to get insatiable......"
My mind was in turmoil, and the words of this old lady completely turned my worldview upside down. I lit a Cuban cigarette and said, "You must have tried to bribe the officials of Hades to buy treasures from them?" β
The old lady sighed and said, "Yes! But then I never saw the official of the underworld again, presumably he was discovered by Hades and sold the treasures of the underworld, and then sent to hell. β
I sneered: "I finally know why you are in such a hurry to find Zhong Tianshi, it turns out that you are not in a hurry to punish the old lady's body at all, but in a hurry to ask for the treasure on the old lady's body." β
The old lady said with a bitter face: "Yes, I am more than a hundred years old, and there are not many days left now, maybe I will go to see the king of Hades one day, but after I die, I must not let my body turn into white bones, I must keep the body intact, so ...... So the treasure must come back into my hands. That baby is mine, it's mine......"
I sneered, "It's not yours, it's the underworld." β
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, the old lady immediately stood up excitedly. She hoarsely shouted in a shriek, "No...... It's mine, it's bought by me with money, and whoever snatches it from me is sinning. β
I couldn't help but laugh secretly, and wanted to tease her, but when I saw her excited and terrible look, I didn't dare to provoke her anymore. I was afraid that she would be by me if she was stimulated.
In order to calm her down, I smiled bitterly: "Yes, that baby is yours, and it was the white-clothed ghost who committed the crime." β
She settled down, and her feelings gradually stabilized, and she continued: "Later, in order to recover that treasure, I hurriedly found Zhong Tianshi, you know, he is a ghost catcher with strong skills. I pinned all my hopes on him, hoping that he would help me recover the treasure of the underworld from the terrible ghost. To be honest, he was indeed a very capable Taoist priest, and he quickly found the trace of the powerful ghost through the clues of the coffin. β
