Chapter 58: Moving a chair for the goddess
Long Xiaotian and the four of them followed the two ghosts to the ghost king's residence, while looking around curiously.
The two ghosts sent to Long Xiaotian and a few people to introduce: "Although there are many legends about the underworld in the yang world, most of them are not worthy of the name, the underworld is not as Xiang Yang said, it is a gathering place for the wicked after death, and there are no eighteen layers of hell, before the reincarnation does not collapse, there are also many souls who choose not to be reincarnated but to spend the rest of their lives in the underworld." ”
"In fact, there is no difference between the underworld and the yang world, the people or ghosts living here are not as fierce and terrible as no one imagines, people still maintain their previous character after death, and they will not become resentful of others because of their own death like some legends, on the contrary, some people who have committed great crimes will reflect on their lives in death, and they will change their personalities and become kind because of their remorse." The two ghosts were introduced like Long Xiaotian and the four of them as they walked.
The four of them listened carefully to the ghost cha's narration, "Actually, if you want to say it, the underworld is much better than the human and yang worlds, and there is no intrigue between people and peaceful coexistence, so some souls will choose not to be reincarnated and stay in the underworld, of course, even if you want to reincarnate now, there is no way, hahaha." The two ghosts laughed at this.
Long Xiaotian nodded after hearing this, and then asked curiously: "Listening to what the two eldest brothers said, this underworld should be very peaceful, and it can even be said to be a paradise, why did the two of you say that the underworld has not been peaceful recently?" ”
The two ghosts looked at each other and sighed and asked, "Do you think people will die once after they die?" ”
Long Xiaotian was puzzled, but still replied: "Of course not." "How can people die when they die, Long Xiaotian doesn't understand.
The two ghosts laughed and said, "Doesn't that mean that we who live in the underworld have eternal life?" Hehe, there is that kind of good thing, nothing can beat time, and it is even more impossible for fragile souls, before reincarnation does not collapse, every soul will be forced to reincarnate after living in the underworld for 10,000 years, do you know why? ”
Long Xiaotian shook his head and said he didn't know, and the ghost explained: "Because their lives have come to an end." ”
"Reincarnation, what do you think is reincarnation and what is reincarnation?" The ghost asked again, and Long Xiaotian was even more confused and said he didn't know.
"The so-called reincarnation, the so-called reincarnation, is actually just the end of one life and the beginning of another life." The ghost said in a general way: "There is no eternal mark in the world, and the so-called reincarnation is just a beautiful fantasy for people to deceive themselves." Nothing can fight time, and what has survived for a long time will decay, this is the truth of the world, and the soul is no exception. ”
"When the soul exists for a long time, there will be a change in its body, we call it the decay of the soul, the rotten soul is full of dangerous breath, they will lose the consciousness of thinking little by little, forget their existence little by little, although life has not ended, but they will only be a walking corpse."
"But they are much more dangerous than the walking dead, because the rotten souls are full of destruction, and they will destroy everything." The ghost is like Long Xiaotian introduced.
"Normal ghosts don't have special abilities, just like us, in the endless years of the existence of the underworld, in addition to the former Lord of the Ten Palaces of Hades, only you who have just arrived have special abilities, but the rotten souls are different, I don't know why the rotten souls have more powerful soul power than ordinary ghosts. and that they possess the fire of resentment. The two demons said that the flames of resentment were full of fear.
Long Xiaotian and the others glanced at each other, and then the jackal asked, "You mean that you are no different from ordinary people, and you don't have any special abilities at all?" ”
The two of them replied with a wry smile: "That's right, although the yang world is a god of ghost legends, but in fact, there is no difference between us and ordinary people, some powerful ghosts are just trained to measure the fighting, and the soul power is relatively strong, and it is not at all as magical as you, so we will recommend you to the ghost king." ”
The jackal and the others looked at the ghost in surprise, although the ghost had never said that the people of the underworld had special abilities, but they never doubted this, after all, this is the underworld, they also witnessed the weird and powerful Meng Po, how did it turn out that the so-called ghosts are just no different from ordinary people, at most they live a little longer than the living, well, they admit that it may be a lot longer, but they don't have any special abilities at all, which is too much to say.
It turns out that the myths are all lies, and a few people can't help but complain in their hearts, saying that they are in charge of the reincarnation of the world, and that even a lonely ghost can turn the world upside down? I don't feel like I can believe in the book anymore.
No matter how disappointed a few people were in their hearts, and no matter why they had such a wonderful expectation, in short, it was the case, and they could only accept it, and while a few people were talking, the pedestrians around them also looked at them curiously, because they looked out of place compared to the clothes around them, like modern people who had traveled to ancient times.
"This is a ghost market in the underworld, where the daily necessities needed by the ghosts are sold, as well as restaurants, casinos, medical centers and other places necessary for life." A ghost messenger introduced Long Xiaotian, and at this time, another suddenly came to Long Xiaotian mysteriously and whispered in a low voice: "I believe that my brother is not very interested in this gambling, but there is a Yujiao Building in the north of the city is a good place to go, if my brother has Yaxing and time, my brother can take you to see it." As he spoke, he showed an expression that even a man understands.
"Yujiao Building?" Long Xiaotian didn't understand and asked curiously.
"That's right, the top jade girl is really a stunning stunner, no worse than your two companions." The ghost said in a low voice, and glanced at Bauhinia and the Night Cat for fear that they would hear it, but where could he have thought that the two of them were not ordinary people, and his words were heard by the two of them at all, the Night Cat was still expressionless, and Zijing was confused, not understanding what this Yujiao Building was.
"The top card?" Long Xiaotian looked at the mysterious ghost speechlessly, if he guessed correctly, that kind of place in Yujiaolou is obvious, although it has long disappeared in modern times, but he is not interested at all, what is this guy talking about, he is a pure and clean man, how can he go to that kind of place, but I heard that in ancient times, the cooks in that kind of place were better than other big restaurants, and they were rich in small snacks, so he could try it.
A few people were chatting and hurrying, I don't know how long they walked, the pedestrians around them gradually became scarce, and a ghost standing guard appeared on both sides of the road, and a mansion that was not grandiose, but obviously much better than other houses, appeared in front of several people.
"Here we are." The two ghosts stopped and said to Long Xiaotian and the four of them.
Then a ghost messenger stepped forward and said to the ghost messenger who was guarding: "The road of life and death is empty, and the ghost guard has something to report, and I am tired to report to the ghost king." The guard replied indifferently: "Wait here, I'll go right away." With that, he turned around and walked into the mansion.
Long Xiaotian and the others looked at the ghost king's mansion curiously, except for the two stone beasts at the door, they really saw that it was strange. After a while, the ghost came out and said to the two ghosts, "Your Excellency summons you, come in." ”
Under the leadership of the guard ghost, several people walked into the mansion, walked through the courtyard, and walked into the house facing the gate, the door of the house was always open, and before they entered the door, Long Xiaotian and the others saw a dignified-looking middle-aged man sitting at the desk flipping through various documents.
After entering the house, the two oni messengers saluted the man and said, "Meet the Oni King." Long Xiaotian and a few people also saluted, after all, they arrived at other people's territory, and they also had many questions that they hoped the ghost king would help solve, so a certain amount of respect was still necessary.
The ghost king put down the documents in his hand, looked up at a few people, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked the two ghosts: "You are the guards of the road of life and death, and now you are on duty, if you don't go to guard the intersection of life and death, what is the so-called matter of coming to me?" ”
"Although no one has come to my underworld for decades, you must not neglect your duties, if you don't explain to my brother today, don't blame me for treating the two of you for your crimes." The Ghost King said in a majestic tone.
The two ghosts glanced at each other, and then one of the ghosts spoke: "Lord Qiqi, the two of us will never dare to neglect their duties, I came to see the adults today to recommend a few people to the adults, and I hope the adults can let them join me on the ghosts." ”
"Referrer?" The ghost king raised his eyebrows, glanced at the four Long Xiaotian beside the ghost and the two, and didn't see anything unusual about them.
"Nonsense." The ghost king scolded and said: "There is a special person in charge of the selection of ghosts, why worry about you, you just need to do my job well for me, worry about everything, just the two of you to be the ghost king, this king is also happy and relaxed." ”
"Don't dare, subordinates don't dare." The two ghosts hurriedly explained: "It's really too strange what happened today, so the two of us dared to come and disturb the adults to deal with political affairs, and recommended a few of them by the way." ”
The ghost king frowned, the two ghosts guarded the road of life and death, they said that something happened, could it be that there was an accident on the road of life and death, and now the reincarnation has collapsed, and there is some chaos in the underworld, if there is an accident in the reincarnation at this juncture, it will undoubtedly be worse, "Quickly and truthfully the situation will come in the future, as for the matter of the ghost mission, you don't need to worry about it, if you are qualified, someone will naturally investigate them." ”
The two ghosts glanced at each other, and told Long Xiaotian and their arrival today and what happened truthfully.
"You're saying they're rumored to be the ones who have gained the power of the gods?" After hearing this, the ghost king asked the two ghosts.
"Don't dare to deceive adults." The two ghosts replied respectfully and truthfully.
The Ghost King stared at Long Xiaotian and the others, and then said, "Can you show this king the power of the gods?" ”
Long Xiaotian frowned, what is wrong with the ghosts of the Netherworld, why do they want to perform power if they don't say a word, power is used to fight with gods, how can it become a talent for performance, Zijing glanced at Long Xiaotian and knew that with his temperament, he would definitely not be able to do it, so he didn't speak, and took a step forward.
Under the stunned gaze of the ghost king and the guard ghost, Bauhinia's hair and pupils quickly turned blue, and the illusory endless sea appeared behind her, Bauhinia waved her hand, and a column of water wrapped around her body, with a beautiful and noble face, Bauhinia looked down at the ghost king indifferently and said, "Is the ghost king still satisfied?" ”
The ghost king's eyes widened and he couldn't believe the facts in front of him, Zijing's words would come to his senses in an instant, and he nodded hurriedly and replied: "Satisfied, satisfied." Then he shouted angrily at the onicha who was still stunned and guarded, "Look, why don't you move a chair for the goddess and her companions." ”
