City God

Just as I was looking at all this around me, a deep voice sounded behind me:

"Chen Rui, a half-born person in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, died at birth. Survived after rescue. Four years ago, you were the only one in your family who survived the earthquake. Drawing for a living. Did I say yes or no? ”

Looking at this kind face, he told me all about my life. I hurriedly bowed:

"You are Lord Chenghuang. You're right. ”

Chenghuang waved his hand and motioned to me not to be too restrained: "Aren't you curious, why are we looking for you?" ”

"Please clear your doubts."

"You kid relies on the body of the mortal sun, and you can understand the things of my secluded capital. It's really rare, you have a soul-crushing existence in your body, and since you were born and died, there has been a ghost. It's okay now. Has anyone who understands yin and yang tell you that there is a group of people behind you? After saying that, while I was shocked, Chenghuang waved his hand and a red light covered me. When the light faded away, a row of gray shadows came out behind me, and only after the shadows slowly became clearer: there were men and women; But I don't know any of them. Looking at the more than twenty ghosts lined up in this word, my scalp tingled: when did you keep up? Is this true for everyone? If it were to kill me, I would have burped in a few minutes without even knowing it.

"You don't have to worry, they're all the closest people you've ever been to in your past life. It won't hurt you, it will even protect you. The reason why they follow you is because they are too obsessed with you; Want to accompany you to their last moments. The Jue on your hand is a device used to connect with the spirit body of the underworld; The waist card is the official certificate of the ghost. Your waist card is still hanging because you haven't been given a specific official position, and you haven't entered the soul. Chenghuang pointed to the waist tag I hung on my belt and said.

Offices? Into the soul? What's wrong with me becoming a ghost? Why did I end up in hell? Seeing that I looked puzzled, Chenghuang continued to speak:

"Look up, does this secluded dungeon look very similar to what you painted? There are also ghosts who have taken you with you in your upbringing, and it is impossible for the body that has passed the yin and suppressed soul to survive until now. But they didn't bring you back until your name disappeared from the book of life and death. In other words, you are the first person who can enter the underworld freely alive, and you don't have Dai Jue on your wrist now, don't you also enter? Besides, if you haven't been to the underworld, how can you draw those dungeon paintings? "Chenghuang's remarks left me speechless. I used to dream about these almost every day, and the surrounding scenes were similar to the current world, and I also dreamed of many ghosts, ghosts, and resentful spirits. I just think it's a dream, and sometimes I wake up and remember to draw it. No wonder it is said that writing supernatural novels and making ghost movies is easy to provoke these underground people.

"You kid saved more than a dozen people in a disaster, and we have also recorded these. But these are not the main reasons why we called you, the main reason is that you have done us a great favor. Three years ago, during Halloween, all ghosts rioted, causing all entrances to the underworld to be closed, but it was about to end. There are still tens of thousands of yin spirits in the yang world who have not returned, and we also have a headache for a while, until a ghost official said to enter through the ghost door of a piece in your store. In addition, there is a painting of impermanence guarding it, so we let impermanence attach to the painting and bless the painting with a ghost door; in order to guide those ghosts who can't come back back to the underworld smoothly. ”

I almost didn't jump up after listening to it: I'm struggling!! This is happening in my shop! If this matter spreads, the signboard will be directly demolished and the funeral home will be changed.

"Hahahaha, you don't have to panic, mortals can't see us. They all say how ghosts are, but how many people have seen ghosts? "Looking at my appearance, Chenghuang couldn't help laughing, just like an elder looking at a child" However, in addition to the lost ghosts in the yang world, there are also many resentful spirits looking for a substitute. The purpose of coming to you is to guide those lost ghosts, and when you encounter those resentful spirits that hurt and hurt others, you will help them not to deepen their sins. ”

After Cheng Huang finished speaking, he looked at me and stopped talking. He said that I should be a yin in the yang world, which means that I agreed and still live in the yang world. This is very good, running between the two places should be regarded as a wind collection; Just what if I can't figure it out and I'm sent to the underworld to report? You're not going to force me to say yes right now, are you? It's not going to be for life, is it? A series of questions flashed through my mind. But looking at Cheng God's expression, I knew what was going on in my head. After all, both impermanence know what I'm thinking, and there's no reason why he shouldn't know.

"Smack!!" Just as I was thinking, an iron chain smashed at my feet, and then I heard Black Impermanence shouting:

"Boy, don't toast or eat. If you don't listen to Lord Chenghuang's kind words, Lao Tzu will lock your soul now and let you intern in the underworld for a year. ”

"Eighth master, Brother Hei, Mr. Hei. I promise I promise. I'm just slow to open my mouth, and I haven't had time to open my mouth yet. "How dare I disobey, the fact is that Chenghuang has taken off his official uniform and talked to me about this in this garden. It's already almost, and if they really let me go back, they don't want me to hang up once or twice. Hurriedly agreed, but Chenghuang was amused by my actions just now, and Bai Wuchang leaned forward and fell back.

"This kid reacts really quickly, and his brain can turn around when he is threatened by impermanence. Interesting, really interesting. For the first time in thousands of years, I have heard someone call him Black Impermanence: Brother Black, Mr. Black. Chenghuang smiled and shook his head to stand up, reached out and grabbed my waist card in the air, and grabbed it out of thin air, I felt a pain in my chest; I looked down and saw a drop of blood pooling in my chest. Then fly to the waist card in the hand of the city god. After watching the blood melt in, the entire waist card emitted a faint red light. I saw a burst of red light flashing, my chest tightened and I didn't feel anything else, and then I saw that Chenghuang's hands were empty.

"The waist card has soaked your heart's blood, and it is with your life." After Cheng Huang finished speaking to me, he looked at Impermanence again: "Later, the two of you will bring the newly appointed Yin Cha to the register. ”

Chenghuang is indeed very kind, but I also know that no matter how kind he is, he is also a ghost. But I found that these ghosts were not difficult to get along with, and were even kinder than people; At least I was deceived by a relative who was doing a pyramid scheme, and I was also borrowed by a friend who used to be very good and did not pay it back. So far, these terrifying ghosts have not bared their fangs at me.

Chenghuang also told me something about my duties: "Little ghost, the affairs of the yang world are handled by the people of the yang world, and you can't use the power of the yin division to participate; You just have to keep your eyes on it and don't let some filthy things do evil. It's a small thing for you. If necessary, you can invoke the power of the Yin Division; Someone will come to your aid. ”
