Chapter 241: All the Way Forward
Although I could see the signboard more than half a step from a distance, I still couldn't see the whole picture of more than half a step, and there was a long line of ghosts lining up in front of me to enter more than half a step, and there were many ghosts next to the team to maintain order.
In fact, it is said that it is to maintain order, these ghosts are very idle, just walking around the team, doing nothing, the ghosts in front of them are quietly lining up, and there is no queue cutting and noisy at all.
I was surprised to see this, considering that there were endless cases of queuing and scolding in the sun, and there were still ghosts crowded inside when passing through the torii, but it suddenly became so polite here.
Could it be that ghosts know more politeness than humans? I was still thinking about this question, and suddenly there was a voice of dissatisfaction in the team walking quietly in front of me: "How long will this team be in line, so many ghosts, it will be in the Year of the Monkey!" ”
It's a very common complaint, but it seems very abrupt and loud in the team. The ghosts who had been walking leisurely around the line walked over and pulled the ghost out in one hand.
"If you want to line up, you can line up, and since you don't want to line up, then come out to the end of the line! Here you have to obey the rules of the underworld, the set of the yang world is useless here! The ghost scolded, and threw the ghost to the ground.
Then the other ghosts pulled up the ghost again, and directly dragged the ghost back, and one after another dragged the ghost back for a long time. When the ghost was dragged past me, I took a look, and there was a look of helplessness and aggrieved on the ghost's pale face.
When I saw this, I realized that these ghosts were not really so polite, but because of this rule.
There were a lot of people in line, but the speed of the line was neither fast nor slow, so it wasn't hard to wait. After waiting for a while, I was finally able to see more than half a step clearly.
This half-step looks very similar to the kind of inn in the costume drama, with two wooden pillars supporting the entire inn in front, and there is a couplet on the pillar: "One step into a demon, one step into an immortal, half a step is especially more; Thousands of years, thousands of years are scattered, and a hundred years are rare. ”
The hollow doors and windows look antique, the slightly upturned eaves are like a bird about to take off stretching its wings, and the cyan tiles on the top are laid on it one after another, which looks very simple and heavy.
After looking at it for a while, I felt that someone was pulling me, and I immediately turned my head to see that it was a paper man, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just now I thought it was a ghost who wanted to pull me out of the team.
The paper man in front of him is obviously the kind of paper man tied by the fat man, and you can see it at a glance. The paper figure had a package in his hand, and it was stuffed directly into my hand, and when I took the package, the paper figure turned around and left.
I curiously took the package and opened it to take a look, there were several stacks of dark coins inside, roughly counted, there should be hundreds of billions, with these dark coins, you have to have more confidence.
As soon as I looked at it for a while, I found that a few ghosts standing behind me had been looking at the package in my hand, and it seemed that they had also seen the dark coin in my hand just now, so I quickly put the package away, and I still understand the truth that wealth is not exposed.
After a while, it was my turn to go in, and I hurriedly followed behind and walked more than half a pace.
The situation inside more than half a step is similar to that of the ancient inn, divided into two floors, the upper floor seems to be a room, with a staircase leading to the second floor, but those stairs are all guarded by ghosts and Yin soldiers.
Ghosts can't go up at all, and even the slightest bit of getting close will be warned by the guards of the ghosts and the Yin soldiers, and the lower layer is where the ghosts go to the underworld.
The number of ghosts and yin soldiers inside the half-step is much more than that outside, and the other side of the half-step is open, and the ghost team is going to the open side.
I looked around, and I felt pretty good, but I didn't know what the second floor was doing upstairs, why there were so many ghosts and yin soldiers guarding, and it was not easy to ask here, so many ghosts were watching with hustle and eye, and it was estimated that they would die miserably if they asked blatantly.
After walking a few steps, I also came to the open side, and when I came here, I found that several carriages had been parked here, all of which were drawn by a thin horse.
But the one behind is not the kind on TV, but the kind of longer board car that is common in the countryside, and there are faint flames on the wheels and the surface of the board car, and all the ghosts have been caught up in the car, but those flames do not seem to hurt the ghosts, and those ghosts are not unusual on it.
When it was time for me, I walked towards the car as well. However, I obviously thought that going to the ghost city of Xudu was too simple, and two differences, one tall and one short, suddenly stopped in front of me and shouted at me: "What's the hurry, hurry up and get punished, get checked!" ”
"Check? Why do you have to check when you get here? I immediately asked, and the shorter ghost's eyes immediately glared, "What's the matter?" I don't accept it, the above requires everyone who goes to the ghost city of Xudu to be inspected, and I can accept it obediently, and I will be less grinding. ”
The two ghosts were going to come and search me after speaking, and I don't know if they checked the ghost heart or anything, but if they found out that I wasn't a real ghost, I didn't know what would happen, so I quickly took a step back.
The tall ghost cha immediately picked up the waist knife and pointed it at me, he made the other ghosts notice, and immediately pulled out the waist knife and looked at this side, as long as I have a movement, these ghosts will definitely cut me into a cloud of light smoke.
I hurriedly took out the package containing the dark coin, shook it in front of the two ghosts, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just taking something out, and I won't be stupid enough to resist anything here, you say yes, master." ”
The tall oni cha looked at me, and then at the short onicha and put away the waist knife, I leaned over to the two of them, opened the package a little, and let them see the stygian inside.
I noticed, obviously, that the short ghost's eyes changed, and that the tall ghost was stunned, but that his eyes didn't change. The short ghost is obviously interested in these dark coins in my hand, and this is a breakthrough point.
I put the package away and whispered: "I am Mr. Yin and Yang who has passed through the yin, and I have something to go to the ghost town of Xudu, I don't know if the two bad masters may be convenient, they are all recorded, and they will definitely not make trouble, and the remuneration will not be less than the two." ”
The short ghost heard me say this, patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's easy to say, tall one, then put some water?" The tall ghost didn't say anything, just looked away, and the short ghost smiled and turned to look at me and stretched out his hand.
I quickly took out the parcel and took out two stacks and handed them to the short ghost, who weighed it and waved at me, I quickly bowed to them and walked towards the carriage.
But I had just sat down on the carriage when the tall onicha suddenly came up and pulled me down from it, and I looked at the short onicha who was smiling at me not far away, and thought to myself that something bad was wrong, and that I had met someone who didn't do anything with the money.
The tall ghost cha pulled me directly to the short ghost cha, and the short ghost cha said to me: "You can't get into this car like this, if you get in this car and there is an inventory in front of the ghost city of Xudu, it will be finished by then." ”
It turns out that this is the case, and I am relieved, as long as it is not for these two ghosts to take money and not do anything, I am good. The short ghost and the tall ghost whispered something, and the tall ghost stepped aside.
The other ghosts still got into the carriage in order, and waited until the ghosts were full and crowded to the point where they couldn't squeeze in at all before driving. The horses looked thin, but they were very fast, pulling the carts behind them and moving away steadily, and the flames became more vigorous as the carts started.
I stood aside and waited for a while, and the tall oni showed his head and beckoned to the short oni, who immediately said to me, "Follow me, don't lose it, we can't afford to have an accident." ”
I hurriedly and carefully followed behind the short ghost, and when I walked in front of the tall ghost, I found that behind the tall ghost was an ox cart, much smaller than the horse-drawn cart, and the oxen were also very thin, but there was no flame on the cart.
The short ghost almost pointed to the ox cart and said: "You get on this car now, this car can take you there, you must pay attention to the car and you must not get out of the car if it does not stop, otherwise you will bear the consequences, and don't blame me for not saying anything when something happens." ”
After listening to the short ghost's words, I walked towards the ox cart and got into it. Although the car is a little small, I sat on it and found that the space was still relatively large, even if I had to lie on it, it was fine.
The short ghost looked at me and smiled, then slapped the cow's butt. The lean cow immediately spread its hooves and ran forward, and the speed was not slow, and I was unprepared for a moment and almost fell.
I looked back at the two ghosts, and found that they were all looking at me with a malicious smile, which made me feel a little bad, but I couldn't get down after I got in the car, and I just hoped that these two ghosts wouldn't hurt me too hard.
There was still a little road ahead, but after running for a while, there was no road in front of me, it was dark on all sides, and the car did not move at all, and there was a lot of thick fog around the car.
The cart ran smoothly, and the cow ran forward without making a sound. I felt a little aggrieved in this environment, but I was also very helpless, and I didn't know where this ox cart would take me.
