Chapter 107 Three forks

When a few ghosts heard this, they were afraid of being lost in the darkness, so they followed closer. After about a cup of tea, Zhao Yuan said:

"Here we are."

I looked up and saw a gray sky in the distance without excess.

It's a strange sight, black and gray so clearly spaced, only a line between them, dividing two different worlds.

Our group of ghosts was pulled by the yellow tip, and quickly crossed the sky and entered the gray world.

It is said that it is a gray world, but in fact it is slightly brighter than the endless darkness, and you can vaguely see the surrounding scenery.

Unlike the sun, the sky here is gray. There are cloudy days in the sun, but even if it is cloudy, you can see the change of dark clouds. The sky here was dead and straight, like a huge gray marble, low on the head.

In front of us was a large asphalt road, three or four lanes wide, and there was nothing else around us except for the endless darkness behind us, and our ghosts seemed to be alone.

Zhao Yuan lost no time in shouting:

"Further ahead is the famous three-way crossing, the three-way crossing only enters and does not leave, the wrong step, and the catastrophe will not be restored......"

He's really like a tour guide. After hearing him shout like this, Huang Jian repeated it meaningfully:

"If you make a mistake, you will never recover......"

Zhao Yuan turned red and stopped making a sound.

Sure enough, as Zhao Yuan said, at the end of the road further, there were two other forks in the road.

Only then did I see that both sides of the highway we were walking across were actually abysses, and at the junction of the highways, I looked down, and there was a black plane under the abyss, which was as bright as a mirror.

I dragged Zhao Yuan:

"What's down there?"

Zhao Yuan replied:

"Backwater!"

Then he spat into the abyss. This disgusting action attracted several ghost probes to watch.

The black stagnant water that was as smooth as a mirror below suddenly churned like boiling as the saliva fell, like boiling oil......

Zhao Yuan explained with a smile next to him:

"Na, that's it, whoever falls down will directly turn into black stagnant water, and there will be no bones left."

I followed the group of imps and hurriedly took a few steps back, for fear of being squeezed down.

Looking up, after the fork in the road, there is only one road left in front of you.

At the entrance of the highway stood a huge billboard that read:

"Welcome to the three forks!"

It's not the most surprising that there's a standard modern welcome billboard.

On this huge billboard, there is also a wrinkled old man wearing a black Tang costume and posing in a "welcome" pose. The next line of small print reads:

"Storytelling, singing, and persuading people, the three main roads go to the center. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.

Tian Fang, a famous storyteller, came to Yinsi, the No. 1 teahouse in the capital city, and the long storytelling of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, a grand lecture! ”

Takata? I said how to look at this old man with a familiar face, it was a storyteller who had just passed away a few days ago, and it seemed that there was a lack of storytelling, so he was brought down.

But in a place like Sanchakou, there are still commercials?!

This...... This is not at all the same thing as the underworld described in all legends! I suspect that I didn't go to Hades, but got off at some highway exit.

Zhao Yuan patted me on the shoulder:

"A lot of ghosts come down with your expression, isn't it different from the legend?"

I nodded......

"From what era did you hear about the underworld?"

"Probably...... The Ming, Qing and Republic of China eras? ”

Zhao Yuan gave me a blank look:

"That's it! The yang world is developing, but the underworld is stagnant? Don't you see, we're all using our phones and playing online games, aren't we? ”

It dawned on me, yes, the technology of the world is developing, and the technology of the underworld should also be developing...... However, there was still a doubt in his heart, so he looked up and asked Zhao Yuan:

"That'...... Why haven't we heard about ...... Belch...... That one...... What about the legend of the modern Yin Division? ”

I didn't think about what the world in front of me should be called for a while, so I had to give it the name of "Modern Yinsi".

Zhao Yuan glanced at me again:

"Who dares to pass it to you now?! Isn't this spreading feudal superstition? We have to talk about science, do we understand science? To criticize ......"

He was about to continue, Huang Jian pulled the string, dragged me and Zhao Yuan to a moment's feet, interrupted his words, and said to me:

"It's a heavenly machine! Yin and Yang are two worlds, and people in the yang world just shouldn't know too much about the following things! Let's go! ”

I stuck out my tongue, Zhao Yuan pursed his lips, and a string of ghosts followed Huang Jian along the road. There are some scenery around, it is still relatively desolate, there are some mountains and rocks, and there are no weeds.

After another cup of tea, a sign flashed on the side of the road - Yin Market. There were no advertisements on this sign, and when I looked behind the sign, there were more ghosts.

I asked Zhao Yuan in a low voice:

"Is the Yin Market a place to sell things?"

Zhao Yuan laughed out loud:

"You are a typical Wangwen Shengyi, can the market need so many ghost guards?"

I looked around, and there were a lot of ghosts dressed like that. As an artist, I really don't dare to compliment the designer of this uniform. The last time I saw this kind of design that challenged the bottom line of human aesthetics was when high school uniforms were issued.

I saw that these ghosts were really wearing sportswear, sportswear, and a vest outside, which was a striped vest, as if it was the standard configuration of sanitation workers, the difference was that a circle was drawn in the middle of the horizontal bar, and the word "poor" was written in the middle of the circle.

I gave this outfit a name in my mind - "Qing Dynasty Sanitation Worker". This is not the thunderbolt, these ghosts are neatly clasped with a steel helmet on their heads and carry steel forks......

I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I watched them stand there in rows.

Sportswear plus vest, plus the bright word "poor"! It really makes me think that these guys are not ghosts, but a group of high school students who have made mistakes, writing the word "poor" (cha) on their bodies, and standing neatly and penalized. After a while, I have to pull it out and punish the cleaning......

I don't know which designer is so talented.

Zhao Yuan saw that I was about to hold back my laughter, and quickly shushed me:

"Shh......h Don't laugh, don't look at the weird clothes they wear, these ghosts are all martial arts, beat a person like you and beat ten. Hurry up, and you'll be at the office. ”

As soon as I looked up, a small square appeared in front of me, and there were more ghosts patrolling in the square.

The front of the square looks like a train station, and there are three big characters hanging on the top of the building: "More than half a step"!

There is a gray-and-white three-story building on each side, with the building on the left reading "Yin Man Office" and the building on the right reading "Yin Division Office". There are quite a few ghosts queuing up at the entrance of the three buildings.

Huang Jian pulled us straight to the door of the "Yin Division Office", and untied the red rope around the neck of the little ghost behind him one by one.

A few ghosts on duty came over and shouted:

"Pay attention to the order, line up one by one!"

Then he drove the imps into the team of the Yin Division's office.

I looked at Huang Jian and Zhao Yuan:

"Aren't we going to line up?"

Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly:

"That's where serious ghosts line up, you and I are both criminals, and we'll have to go through a special passage for a while......"

Special access? I looked around, and my eyes fell on the door of the "Yin Man Office", and there were really a few "people" queuing.

"What's that for? That's not where we go, it's a place where people who pass through the yin do things. After a while, when Huang Jian finished dealing with the affairs of the group meeting, we entered the building. ”

I looked up at Huang Jian, who was seriously handing over to a ghost messenger with a tablet in his hand, confirming the identity of the ghosts one by one.

What made me happy was that the last little ghost in our team was identified and handed over to a female ghost staff. The female ghost crouched down and said something to him, then took her hand and walked into the building.

Huang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Alright, that's it, it's time for the two of you. Let's go......"

After saying that, he led us into the building through another entrance next to us.

I looked back at the row of "normal" ghosts and asked:

"Huang Ye, what will happen to those ghosts who haven't committed crimes?"

Huang Jian replied:

"Just like us, get on the train for a while and go to the capital. It's just a reception for them here, which is equivalent to registering in the underworld. After that, when he went to the city of Xudu, he would be sentenced, and those who had done evil in the world would be punished accordingly. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan sighed:

"Times are different, and my parents should have walked this road in an ox cart...... Now it's all a different train. It used to be a day's journey, but now it doesn't take more than a few hours......"
