Chapter 217: The underworld also loves money

It's a gray world, the sky is gray, the earth is gray, even the mountains and rivers are gray, everything seems so lifeless, as if to announce to people that this is a forbidden place for human beings, a place for ghosts.

A sheep intestine trail in this gray world turned left and right and finally entered a gray col, from a distance, on the edge of the col there are a few very terrifying and hideous soldiers in the handle, and a dark red flag is hung high next to it, on the book: "Stop like this, no return" These six big characters always remind the living souls not to move forward, but also remind the ghosts to enter this pass after everything is not your control.

Walking to the gate, Zhang Yi took out the customs clearance document and handed it to a soldier with a slightly normal appearance, the soldier didn't look at Zhang Yi, then picked up the brush and stroked it on it and threw it to Zhang Yi and said, "Go in!" Pay attention to the rules, you can't touch everything, you can't eat or drink, otherwise, hehehe, you'll stay here forever! He said the last sentence with a strange smile.

Zhang Yi and Lin Junyi nodded and stepped into the pass, and suddenly felt a yin wind blowing, just like the cold wind blowing in the cold and snowy winter when the door was suddenly opened, and the cold wind was blowing towards them.

Looking up, the world inside the pass is completely different from the outside world, the houses that can't be seen at a glance stretch for hundreds of miles, the streets are crisscrossed, the streets are full of people, very lively, this feeling is very different from Yinsi, but like a very prosperous city.

Zhang Yi and Lin Junyi had not reached the Soul Relief Mansion at the bottom of the Lechuan River where Yin and Yang had befriended, and he thought that the Soul Relief Mansion was already a big city at that time, but today, they saw that this city that was no less than any big city in the Yang world appeared in front of them.

The architectural features are still based on the ancient architectural style of the pavilions and pavilions, the color is naturally black and white, although there is no kind of 100-meter-high building in the yang world, but these exquisite workmanship here are very tasteful, which makes people look at it more quietly and comfortably.

The street is the same as the Soul Relief Division's house, with the cries of all kinds of business rising and falling with each other, all kinds of banners and banners with the name of the store written or the trade of the store being drawn, and the streets and shops are even more shoulder to shoulder, a prosperous and busy scene is like a picture of the Qingming River.

Except for the samurai in black armor who patrolled on tall horses, the others were dressed in a variety of dynastic clothes, looking like a hodgepodge of time travel, but they didn't feel anything wrong with each other.

On the street, you will often see a Confucian student wearing a Confucian costume and a modern person wearing a suit walking shoulder to shoulder on the street, or see a soldier in a civilian costume and a primitive man wearing animal skin walking to the restaurant to drink and chant.

Everything seems to be so harmonious here, but I just don't know if it will be the same as the Soul Division's place, everything is on the surface!

Just as Zhang Yi and Lin Junyi were standing on the bustling cross street and didn't know where to go, a very fashionable young man in modern clothes ran over and patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hey, buddy, just came here!" Is it a black eye, it doesn't matter, with my tour guide PHS, make sure you are unimpeded in the Yin Si and never get lost," after speaking, he took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi took the business card, glanced at it casually, and asked, "You said you are a tour guide?"

"Yes, of course it's a tour guide, and it's a famous tour guide." After speaking, he took out a tour guide qualification certificate from his pocket and shook it in front of Zhang Yi's eyes and said: "I was a tour guide when I was in the yang world, and after I died, I quickly adapted to the environment of the Yin Division, became a tour guide, and served the new ghosts. ”

"Then can you tell us about Yin Si, it feels different from the legend we heard here!" Lin Junyi asked at a loss.

"It's different, you don't always listen to legends, you have to look at reality, there is nothing mysterious about Yin Si, he is also a city, a transit station for the souls of the dead after death?"

"Transit station?"

"Yes, the transfer station, it seems that you didn't send them to the ghosts when you came in to buy a guide to the life of the Yin Division, Yin Si, in fact, it is a transit station, when people die, some are brought back by the ghosts, and some are coming by themselves, in short, those who have come here have died, call it a ghost, and the first thing you have to do when a ghost comes here is to go to the government to register and make a book, and then wait for the good news of your reincarnation."

"It's as simple as that, isn't there the legendary eighteen-layer hell, isn't there anything to go down to the oil pot and go to the knife mountain?" Lin Junyi took the lead and asked curiously.

PHS scratched his hair and thought for a long time before looking at the sky and said: "Yes, yes, but the times have progressed, and the law enforcement of the Yin Division has also become civilized, and now as long as there is no family member of the victim to sue, as the so-called people do not sue the officials and do not prosecute, there will be no such situation, see?" The tour guide pointed to a large number of houses near the river and said: "This Yin Si is of no nationality, so it is very large, as for how big I have no way to describe it, those houses are all houses where ghosts like you and me are waiting for reincarnation live." ”

"Everyone has a suite, this welfare treatment is so good, it seems that you don't have to be a house slave when you come to Yinsi!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh and said the most practical topic.

The tour guide pursed his mouth, tilted his head and looked at Zhang Yi and said: "What you think is so beautiful, the house is an important and scarce resource in both the yang world and the netherworld, how can you not buy it, if you don't have to buy a house, I don't have to come out to make money to pay off the mortgage." ”

"Ah, it turns out that Yin Si also has to be a house slave! Ask your relatives and friends in the Yang world to burn a little. Lin Junyi looked surprised.

PHS glanced at Lin Junyi and said, "Come with me, I'll show you what's going on,"

Zhang Yi and Lin Junyi immediately followed PHS in a few quick steps and turned a corner to the front of a grand building, the tour guide pointed to the building and said: "See, this is the post office of Yinsi, big, there are tens of thousands of post offices like this in Yinsi, this is just a sub-bureau, do you see those people next to the post office?" ”

Zhang Yi and Lin Junyi nodded together, but next to the post office, there were many wanderers and confused people, some of them were standing, some were squatting on the ground, some were talking to each other in whispers, and some were holding a note in their hands and looking at the sky with a sad face.

"In fact, many of those people have houses, but they don't have money or don't have enough money, so they still don't have a house to live in

People mail you a house, but they don't send you money or send less, and you still don't have a house to live in, because you have no place to put your house, and the land here needs money to buy, and the money required is far less than a house in the yang world, for example, the housing area on the riverside, which is close to the street and has convenient transportation, requires 500,000 square meters, which is equivalent to about 100,000 square meters, you see, is it very expensive. ”

Lin Junyi sighed deeply and said to Zhang Yi: "I am tired of being a man, but I didn't expect to be tired of being a ghost, and I have to be a house slave when I die." He turned his head to PHS again and asked, "Isn't there reincarnation, why don't they go to reincarnation, and they are stupidly working as house slaves in the Yin Division." ”

The tour guide smiled bitterly and said: "This kind of reincarnation is really not as simple as you think, this has to be divided into many kinds, the first is a normal death and has not been sued by the Yin Division, he waits normally, generally waiting for a few years to have a quota and then he can go to reincarnation, the second is the kind of person who is told that according to the severity of the plot, it is not allowed to be reincarnated to delay for tens or hundreds of years, in fact, most of them are the second kind, after all, who has not made a little mistake in the yang world, isn't it?" The third type is the lonely ghosts, that is, those who have not reached the end of their life span and die unnaturally, and the time they are waiting for is not accurate. ”

Zhang Yi heard this and thought of the red clothes, he heard the spirit domain say that the red clothes were immediately reincarnated, is he different, so he asked PHS: "How can a friend of mine be reincarnated as soon as he dies, and he can still choose." ”

PHS looked at Zhang Yi with admiration and consternation, and only said lightly after a long time: "It's the same everywhere, the rules and regulations of privileged people are just a piece of paper for them, and it's only us grassroots people who suffer." ”

After pondering for a moment, PHS suddenly raised his head and said to Zhang Yi and Lin Junyi: "By the way, the questions I answered for you just now are all charged, and then whether you need a tour guide or not, this starting fee will be given, and the starting fee is one hundred yin coins, and the price is very fair." ”

Lin Junyi pulled out his pocket and said to PHS helplessly: "I just came, and I haven't brought any money yet?" ”

PHS didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "It's okay, you are new here, generally according to the previous rules, your relatives in the Yang world should send money over, don't believe it, let's go to the post office to have a look." ”

The two of them didn't believe that anyone else in the world could burn paper money for them, but they didn't say much so they had to follow PHS to the hall of the post office, there were a lot of people in the hall, but they were not very noisy, and they all silently looked at an electronic LED screen above the hall, which kept refreshing the name.

"Ha, there really is, senior, look, there is your name on it" Lin Junyi excitedly pointed to the screen and shouted to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi looked up, only to see Zhang Yi written in the corner of the screen, withdrawal number 8888.

PHS was amused when he saw it, he grabbed Zhang Yi's hand and said excitedly: "It seems that you have a lot of money, you don't take it in the hall, it's still a VIP room, it seems that the amount is very huge, you go and get it quickly!" ”

Under the guidance of PHS, Zhang Yi was enthusiastically taken to a small private room after checking the name of a public official, which was very spacious, not only with mahogany chairs to sit on, but also with good Mao Feng for Zhang Yi to drink, Zhang Yi sighed and said: "It seems that money is really common all over the world and even Yinsi, and it is really difficult to move an inch without money." ”
