Chapter 45: Mission Accomplished
When I drove back to Liulin Town, it was already dark, and I parked the car in front of the town, because of Xiao Wang's existence, so there was no need for me to go to the psychic again.
When I returned to the inn, Li Xiaoxiao and the little ghost were busy making the first meal in the back kitchen, this Li Xiaoxiao was a diligent person, and since she came to the inn, she cleaned the inn up and down, inside and out. And with Li Xiaoxiao's company, the little ghost is not so lonely.
Li Xiaoxiao's Taoism is much higher than that of the little ghost, so Li Xiaoxiao can often go out to bring some snacks or something to the little ghost. When I went back with Xiao Wang, I happened to see the little ghost holding a large string of sugar gourds in his hand and gnawing on it. After I came back, the little ghost directly stuffed the big string of sugar gourds into my mouth and said, "Brother Cui Qi, you can taste it, it's delicious." ”
I smiled slightly, took a symbolic bite, and ducked behind the counter. At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao came from the back kitchen with two large bowls of rice.
"Eh, why did you come back all of a sudden......"
I looked at the two big bowls of rice in her hand and said, "Where did you get this rice?" ”
Li Xiaoxiao first smiled and said, "I was really bored in the store yesterday afternoon, so I went out with Zhang Ting in the village. Bought some things and bought some snacks for the little guy. ”
After that, the eccentric Li Xiaoxiao winked at the little ghost. Since Li Xiaoxiao was also from the village in his previous life, after recovering his memory, it is common for everyone to walk around each other.
I watched the little ghost pull the rice from the bowl with a greedy look on his face and asked, "Do you know where the nearest City God Temple is?" ”
The little ghost raised his chubby little face, shook his head gently, and said, "Every time, the third uncle goes to hand in the task...... By the way, my mother should know. ”
I thought about it, then turned my head to look at Xiao Wang behind me, and said, "This time, if you go down with me, I'm afraid you'll have to do your old job." ”
"What do you mean?"
"The prefecture is also recruiting delivery workers, I heard that the salary is good, I'll take you to have a look."
After that, Xiao Wang's face was also confused. After all, he is also a person who has just died, and he obviously doesn't know about the affairs of this underworld. After a few words of advice, I took Xiao Wang up the mountain, and the proprietress told me that she lived in a thatched hut on the top of the mountain before leaving.
After walking through that large cemetery, Xiao Wang and I came to the third uncle's thatched hut this time. At this time, there were some candles flickering in the hut, and since the door outside the hut was not closed, I just knocked lightly on the door and stepped in.
I've been here before, but the last time was brought up by the third uncle. After entering the thatched hut, I saw the proprietress sitting alone on the edge of the bed combing her hair, and the whole room was empty and a little lonely.
"Auntie, if you want to live alone on this mountain, let's move down and go back to the store to live, with a big bag and a companion."
The proprietress gently put down the comb in her hand, smiled at me a little charmingly, and said, "No, no, it's rare to be quiet here." By the way, child, is there something wrong with you going up the mountain to look for me this big night? ”
I sighed softly, and then sat down on the chair beside me.
"Don't hide it from my aunt, I came this time to ask about the location of the City God Temple."
After hearing this, the proprietress picked up the comb again, and said while combing her hair: "There are two roads at the entrance of the village, one is the road that goes directly up the mountain, and the other is the road that leads to the underworld behind the village. ”
"The underworld?"
The proprietress nodded and continued, "This is the so-called Huangquan Road, standing at the entrance of the village, you can see an old-fashioned yamen, and in that yamen is the City God's Mansion. ”
"You mean to say that our Liulin Town is built on the side of Huangquan Road?"
The proprietress put down the comb in her hand, stretched her waist and said, "Huangquan Road is an important passage between the underworld and the yang world, and it does not have a fixed place in the yang world. Just like your third uncle said at the beginning, as long as you want to die, there is hell behind you. ”
I wanted to ask another thing about the third uncle, but I didn't say anything after seeing the tired look on the boss's face. After descending the mountain in the evening, the two of us returned to the inn again. At this time, although the door of the inn was not closed, the oil lamp in the inn had been extinguished.
Ghosts don't need to sleep, but most of the Cui family who live here still maintain their habits before they were alive.
Since the two of them had rested, I wasn't going to bother, and just as I was about to turn around and leave, Li Xiaoxiao ran out of the house mysteriously.
"I heard that you two are going to the City God's Mansion...... Take me to see it. ”
I looked at Li Xiaoxiao's expectant look, and smiled and said, "That's not a tourist attraction, you ......"
Before I finished my words, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "I can't sleep at night anyway, so you can take me to see it." ”
Since Li Xiaoxiao said so, then I can't say anything, I think that the City God's Mansion is also a god, so there should be no danger.
After deciding, the three of us walked along the path around the mountainside. After walking for more than ten minutes, an old-fashioned single-hole archway suddenly appeared in front of me. There is a plaque on the archway, and on the plaque is a square with a big character "Yin".
The scene behind the archway looked very blurry in my eyes, and it felt like the photos in my phone had faded, but I could vaguely see something like a street, and the sides of the street were full of bright red.
I frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and stepped inside. And as soon as I stepped into the archway, I suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and suddenly it was pitch black in front of me.
I don't know how long it took me to gradually get used to this feeling, and Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to me at this time, gently patted me on the shoulder and said, "Look at it...... Flowers on the other side. ”
I opened my eyes suddenly, and what I saw made my heart tremble. A muddy but spacious black path lined with bright red flowers on both sides. A breeze blew, and the flowers on the other side of the mountains swayed like flames.
As far as the eye can see, the shock seems to wash away your soul in an instant. As for the shock, I saw an old-fashioned building as high as a five- or six-story building not far ahead, and it was supposed to be the legendary Chenghuang Mansion without mistake.
We walked down the muddy path, and soon came to the gate of the City God's Mansion. And just as we reached the door, we saw two solemn and solemn Yin soldiers, holding silver spears standing at the door.
"Stop."
