Chapter 42: The little ghost is difficult
Lu Yin I know that it is a certificate for the soul of a person to report to the underworld after death. I have also heard Zhang Zhenren say before that after death, the soul must go to the underworld to "report", accept the "birth" of the underworld, and arrange the "afterlife". When the ghosts die, they will first report to the local City God Temple or Land Temple, and the City God or the Land Lord will give them a "road guide", and these dead Yin spirits will hold the "road guide", so that they can smoothly pass through the ghost gate, cross the Yellow Spring, and enter the underworld.
In the people, there is also a "road guide" of the prefecture, which is a paper document 3 feet long and 2 feet wide, printed with yellow mounted paper woodblock. In addition to the words printed with "for the Fengdu Heavenly Son Yama King and the Great Emperor sent to the road" and other words, it is also stamped with "Yin Si", "City God", "Fengdu County Government" three square seals. At the top, Emperor Yama is sitting in a precarious position, looking ahead, guiding the way to the "ghost country" for the lost soul.
But this time we are over the yin, not the end of life, where will we go to the land temple to report the road guide, so I told the gate keeper: "Brother Yincha, I came here to do business, not the end of life, so there is no road guide, you see...... Can you make it easier for my little brother? ”
Yin Cha glanced at me and asked, "Errand?" Who do you ask? ”
"Yes, do things, I am a disciple of Taoism, and I am looking for Judge Cui today!" I hurriedly replied honestly.
When Yin Cha heard my words, he immediately put down the ghost whip that was blocking me, hugged his fists and smiled: "It turned out to be a Taoist family, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”
As soon as I saw this posture, I was immediately happy, thinking that the Taoist family still had such an identity in the underworld, and even the little ghost was so polite to me.
Just when I was excited, the ghost cha glanced at Han Duo behind me, and then said, "You gave this girl to Judge Cui, right?" She looks like a beauty, hehe. I guess you are also very familiar with Master Cui, you know that he is so good, hehe......"
It turns out that Judge Cui is good at this? I was immediately overwhelmed by the ghost's words, and hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, I am not familiar with Judge Cui, and this girl is not for Judge Cui, but just to run errands with me all the way." ”
How do you know that as soon as I finished speaking, the ghost's face immediately changed, and instantly became a cold face, swept me around, and then snorted coldly: "Go and go, you are not an acquaintance of Judge Cui, so what are you going to do here, is this netherworld a place where you can come and enter when you want?" Hurry up and roll for me, roll as far as you can, don't bother me anymore. ”
Womb, this ...... What's going on? Do the people of the underworld also have to rely on relationships? I begged, "Master Yincha, we really have something to do when we come down, please let the two of us in!" ”
But at this time, the ghost cha was already full of impatience, and when he saw that I dared to step forward to entangle him, he raised the ghost whip in his hand and snorted coldly: "Are you kid impatient, if you don't leave quickly, be careful that the master will arrest you as a wandering ghost, so that you will never have a chance to go back!" ”
I said with a bitter face, "Can you just give me a chance when you keep up?" How about I burn more paper money for you when I go up? ”
Hearing me say this, the ghost's face was finally a little less ruthless, and he sighed and said, "Brother, it's not that my brother doesn't help you, it's just that I'm also responsible, I can't help it." It's not that my brother won't give you a chance, you just need to tell me what acquaintances you have inside, my brother doesn't say a word, and I'll let you in immediately. ”
I thought, your sister, isn't this embarrassing for me, you must know that this is the underworld, how can I have acquaintances?
At this time, Han Duo was also in a hurry, and asked me if I was not allowed to enter, what should I do now, should I just go back?
Looking at Han Duo's anxiety, I sighed, and said in my heart that this society is really fucking black, everything has to rely on relationships, and there has to be a backstage. In the Yang world, it is neither the second generation of red, nor the second generation of rich, nor the second generation of officials, and I am recognized by people everywhere, and the noble and lowly who was born must have been destined early on. But I didn't expect to come to the underworld this time, because there was no acquaintance relationship, and I was embarrassed by the ghost, it seems that in the future, whether it is in the yang world or the underworld, I really have to climb a little relationship. Isn't there a saying that says, I am upright, but heaven and earth are not righteous.
Take this little ghost as an example, at first I thought I knew Judge Cui and was polite to me. But when he knew that I had nothing to do with me, he was as cold as ice, and he looked selfless. But when he heard me say that I would burn paper money for him, he greeted him with a brother. Looking at the little ghost in front of me, I seem to see some "little ghosts" in the yang world again, or maybe there is no difference between the underworld and the yang world, because whether they are ghosts or not, they all have people's hearts.
Relationship? Acquaintance? Money? I thought hard, and then I suddenly thought of a person, and that was Zhang Zhenren. Thinking of this, I immediately became excited, thinking to myself, why did I forget about Master and his old man?
But when I thought about it, my heart was cold, because Zhang Zhenren was not a person with an official position in the underworld, although he said that he was a ghost in the underworld when he gave me a dream before, but you must know that he went to the underworld because he was punished, so even if he was a ghost, it was the lowest level of cannon fodder errands, right? I don't know if the ghost difference at this level can be counted, maybe if you report the name of Zhang Zhenren, the ghost difference will not know it.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again.
"Brother Chang, have you figured out a way, or let's go back!" Han Duo on the side said to me.
Get back? Wouldn't that be the same as running for nothing? The thought of returning empty-handed like this, I was unwilling, especially when I thought of letting the head descender continue to disregard people's lives, I was even more angry. So I thought to myself, whether that ghost knows Zhang Zhenren or not, come all the way to it once, I have to give it a try, right?
I made up my mind, so I stepped forward again and came to the onicha.
Before he could speak, the ghost almost spoke first: "Brother, don't say anything, even if you give me more money, I don't care if you ask for it, because you don't even have an acquaintance, so let you in like this, if you make some trouble for me, then I will be miserable." Therefore, if you want to enter, you must have an acquaintance to vouch for you. Alas, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
I nodded, and said, "I know an acquaintance, and like you, he is an errand officer in the underworld. ”
"Oh? You have acquaintances, why didn't you tell me earlier. The ghost slapped his thigh and smiled, and then asked me, "Quick, tell me, who is that ghost you know, maybe I still know him." ”
"The person I know is called Zhang Zhenren, I don't know if you've heard of it?" I replied crisply.
"Zhang Zhenren? Zhang Zhiji? How do you know him? "The ghost is very curious.
As soon as I saw the ghost's expression, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it was obvious that this girl seemed to know Zhang Zhenren too. I hurriedly replied: "Zhang Zhenren is my master, and I am his apprentice, hehe, this ability to go down to yin is what he taught me." Why, does Big Brother Yin know my master? ”
But what I didn't expect was that the ghost had completely changed at this time, hugged me over, smiled flatteringly, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Brother, brother, it's not my brother who said you, why didn't you tell my brother if you know Zhang Zhisi, so my brother has been here with you in a hurry just now, alas!" I can't tell you an acquaintance, I'm really anxious brother, if you say you know Zhang Zhisi in the morning, brother, I won't introduce you to the city in the morning. ”
As soon as I heard this, I was even more sure that he knew Zhang Zhenren, but such a big contrast made me get goosebumps, and I thought to myself, can Zhang Zhenren be a big official?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked him: "Does my brother really know my master Zhang Zhenren?" ”
The ghost almost nodded: "I know, where will I not know, he is our head, the top boss." Brother, brother will take you to see Zhang Zhusi, so that you master and apprentice can have a good reunion, hehe. ”
Wo, I said why are you so good to me all of a sudden, it turns out that you are a person under my master! I am sure that you don't work hard at ordinary times, and I'm afraid that I will make a small report in front of Zhang Zhenren, so you will be so attentive to me, you must know that people who work hard will not be so attentive.
There is a ghost to guide the way, I am naturally very happy, and said with a smile: "How is it good, will this affect the work of the eldest brother?" ”
"No, no, not to mention that we are all brothers, not to mention losing our jobs, just let my brother and I go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, it's not a matter of your words, brother." The onicha grinned and led the way.
Han Duo, who was following behind him, finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and he didn't hold back his laughter, obviously he didn't expect that the dungeon was the same as the yang world, the existence of people who snorted and patted horses was indispensable, and it was very superb.
Not long after, the onicha led us to an ancient yamen-like building in the city, and then through the vestibule to an inner courtyard.
As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw a familiar figure, who else could it be besides Zhang Zhenren?
At this time, Zhang Zhenren also happened to look back and saw me, and couldn't help but be stunned immediately, obviously not expecting me to come here. I wanted to shout "Master", but I don't know why, at this time, I suddenly thought of a lot in my mind, and tears flowed out involuntarily, and the word "Master" was shouted in my throat but I couldn't shout it.
Yes, if I hadn't met Zhang Zhenren, I would have been arrested by Black and White Impermanence when I lived in the murderous mansion a few years ago. If it weren't for Zhang Zhenren, maybe we would all be dead the last time we met Lu Ban Warlock with Lao Hu. Yes, if it weren't for Zhang Zhenren, I wouldn't have been able to live until now, and the reason why I have lived until now is because Zhang Zhenren exchanged his life for him, he has long been as important as my parents in my heart.
I took three steps and made two steps, ran to Zhang Zhenren, and shouted "Master", while Zhang Zhenren patted me on the shoulder and said worriedly: "Why did you come down, could it be that the calamity is ahead of schedule, and the longevity is over?" Didn't I tell you to do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, why didn't you listen to me? The more he talked, the more excited Zhang Zhenren became, and he became a little angry later.
I hurriedly said, "No, I didn't come down to die, I came down to do errands." ”
