Chapter 35: The Underworld

"Would you like to find an errand to do in our City God's Yamen?" Chenghuang Yumo solemnly said the second thing he wanted to discuss with Lu Yu.

"Ah......" After listening to Chenghuang Yumo's words, Lu Yu was directly stunned, at this moment, he stared at Yumo with huge eyes, his mouth was half open, and his face was frozen with a frightened expression, as if he had eaten a live maggot.

The reason why Lu Yu would have such an "earth-shattering" reaction to Chenghuang Yumo's words is because, in Lu Yu's habitual thinking, the official positions in the Chenghuang Yamen should be held by all kinds of small gods, and there is nothing to do with the living people at all, not to mention, he is a first-order ordinary man, and he has nothing to do with the god position, how can he be qualified to eat in the Chenghuang Yamen.

After seeing the "distorted" expression on Lu Yu's face, Chenghuang Yumo was stunned for a moment, and it took five or six seconds, after roughly guessing Lu Yu's thoughts, Chenghuang Yumo explained to Lu Yu: "The Chenghuang Yamen in Taiping Town is the lowest level of the county-level Chenghuang Yamen, compared to the Chenghuang Yamen of the 24th Division of the capital, we only have three divisions here......"

Yumo, who has always wanted to be promoted but has never been promoted, shook his head with a lonely expression, and continued to explain to Lu Yu: "The only three divisions we have here are the Yin and Yang Division, the Quick Report Division and the Picket Division, the Yin and Yang Division is equivalent to the official department of our City God Yamen, in charge of the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials at all levels in the Yamen, the Quick Report Department is responsible for recording the karma of everyone in our county, and the Picket Division is responsible for arresting the evil ghosts who are on the run." ”

After listening to Chenghuang Yumo's explanation of the organizational structure of the county-level Chenghuang Yamen, Lu Yu nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.

After seeing that Lu Yu understood, Chenghuang Yumo continued: "Although, there are three divisions in the Chenghuang Yamen in our county, but because the incense in our county God's Temple is not too vigorous, we can't afford to support officials here, therefore, the three divisions here are basically empty, and there is not even a formal official, the chief of the Yin and Yang Division is temporarily concurrently served by the temple Zhu Xuanyihong here, and the Express Department is also in charge by me, as for the picket division, there is really not even a temporary concurrently ...... person, so, I want to ."

"Lord Chenghuang, do you want me to temporarily serve as the chief of the Picket Division?" After hearing from the mouth of Chenghuang Yumo that even the temple wishes of the Chenghuang Temple were part-time in the Chenghuang Yamen, Lu Yu also understood that it turned out that living people could really be officials in the Chenghuang Yamen, the official mansion of the underworld.

"Yes, that's what I meant, then...... Young Master Lu, are you willing? Observing a hint of hesitation on Lu Yu's eyebrows, Chenghuang Yumo immediately continued: "Of course, working in the picket division is not done in vain, you can get merit, I see the merit of you, Young Master Lu, I think about it, you ...... merit."

After listening to Chenghuang Yumo's words, and realizing that this official position was a good job that could make merits, Lu Yu was a little moved.

The reason why Lu Yu is so concerned about merit is not because he wants to be a great good person, the real reason is that Lu Yu saw a piece of information on the "Soul Sutra", and the news is: Cultivating the soul and refining the body, prolonging life and longevity, this kind of thing is a move against the sky, which will cause the wrath of the heavens, and then lead to the catastrophe, and the only means that can soothe the wrath of the heavens is to accumulate merit.

As for the truth contained in these words, Lu Yu can figure it out with his ass, after all, no matter how angry God is, it will not use the vast thunder to split a good person full of merits, if he does it innocently, will there be good people in the sky, then the whole world will be full of wicked people without virtue, and it will become a Shura field of endless killing......

"That'...... Lord Chenghuang, is the picket department in our yamen only responsible for catching evil ghosts? Although he was very interested in things that could make merits, Lu Yu, who was cautious by nature, still did not agree to Chenghuang Yumo and come to the picket department of Chenghuang Yamen to work part-time.

"The main responsibility of our picket department here is to catch the evil ghosts whose household registration is in our county, we mainly catch those evil ghosts who harm people for no reason, as for those ghosts who have not harmed people, they are not under our control, and those ghosts who harm people because of revenge are not under our control, those are all the affairs of the state-level City God Temple, and there are not many things that our county-level City God Temple can manage......" After grinning helplessly, City God Yumo explained to Lu Yu.

"Listen to what you mean, the duty of the picket department is to catch the ...... quickly" After comparing the personnel structure of the Underworld City God Yamen and the personnel structure of the Human World County Yamen in his head, Lu Yu replied to City God Yumo with a wry smile.

"It's not for you to do the job of catching fast, it's for you to be the head catcher, the whole picket department, you have the final say, how, do it or not?" Chenghuang Yumo, who asked Lu Yu this question for the third time, looked at Lu Yu's eyes with a sincere expression, and his eyes shone with expectation.

"Hmm......" After listening to Chenghuang Yumo's third temptation, Lu Yu lowered his eyes and groaned, after weighing the risks of doing this and the possible benefits, Lu Yu raised his eyes to look at Chenghuang Yumo, and replied categorically: "Okay, I believe in you, I followed you to do ......"

"Okay, good, good ......" After Lu Yu agreed, Chenghuang Yumo sprayed three "good" words in a row, and when he sprayed the word "good", he had a joyful and crying expression on his face, obviously, he was about to die of joy, no, he was originally a dead man, and he couldn't die again, this sentence should be said so, Chenghuang Yumo...... They are all so happy that they come back from the dead.

"Yihong ......" Just when Lu Yu stared at Chenghuang Yumo's exaggerated demeanor and guessed why he was so happy, Chenghuang Yumo was like a spring that had been tense for a long time, and with a "......swish" sound, he bounced up from the futon, and then, he shouted the name of the temple blessing at the door.

"Boom ......" after a piercing strange sound, at the door of the temple Zhu Xuan, opened the door and came in, when he had just entered the door, suddenly glanced at the joyful crying expression on Chenghuang Yumo's face, he was stunned for a moment, and then, he immediately returned to his usual demeanor, respectfully asked Chenghuang Yumo: "My lord, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Yihong, we finally have another person in our yamen, and Young Master Lu has already agreed to be the head of the Picket Division......" Chenghuang Yumo replied in a tone like a poem.

"Oh, this ......" After receiving Chenghuang Yumo's answer, Miao Zhu Yihong, who was originally as earth-colored as an earth, instantly became excited, and soon, he was so happy that his face was flushed.

"Yihong, now, I'm going to leave for a while, go to the Zhou Chenghuang Yamen to report on the appointment of Young Master Lu, you entertain Young Master Lu first, and I'll be back soon......" After first ordering the temple Zhu Xuan, Chenghuang Yumo turned his head and said to Lu Yu apologetically: "Young Master Lu, the hospitality is not good, I will come when I go......"

"Are you busy......" After hearing Yumo's apology, Lu Yu, who had already gotten up and stood behind Yumo, nodded back to him.

Immediately, Yumo turned into a blue light and flew out of the door and disappeared.

"Here, please, Young Master Lu...... "Although I know Lu Yu's surname Lu from Master Chenghuang, Miao Zhu Xuan Yihong doesn't know who Lu Yu is and who his surname is, so he ......
