[078] Entrustment
These drowning people who are unwilling to die will take advantage of the opportunity of salvage to find a substitute. Then the people who go to the lake to salvage will have to worry about their lives! There is only one way to win, and that is to find black and white impermanence.
On the first night of Halloween, it was dark all around, and Xu Qian, Vanilla and others rested early. Without Zhong Kui's permission, no one dared to go out without permission.
People held a pile of items to be burned for the deceased, drew circles, wrote names, and lit them one by one. Buckle your head and worship reverently. Suddenly, Dead Water Bay was in a gray atmosphere. Standing on a high place, there are piles of flames, flickering sparks, and with the help of the wind, they are spinning and spinning the ashes that have not yet burned out.
And in that dark, unexplored alternative space world. Impatient faces crowded in front of the counter to withdraw money, holding the marks or names given by their relatives when they were burned, anxiously receiving their own tickets. The difference between the underworld and the human world is that one is sunny and the other is dark and dark.
Some lonely ghosts covet the souls of those who have loved ones, and they wait for the right moment, ready to grab a ticket and run. The three lepers, who have been reformed, have become the governor of a district, patrolling back and forth with a warning stick in his hand.
A wooden square table, a pot of wine, and three wine glasses. A bucket bowl, a basin. The bucket bowl contains crucian carp caught by mountain people in the lake. The basin was filled with a fat pig's head.
Zhong Kui was steady, staring calmly at the lake. Under the reflection of the lake, there are circles rippling with the wind, delicate ripples. The people who burned the paper gradually dispersed, and the lonely space left a lingering smell of candles.
The wind was gusting, and some unknown images appeared on the lakeside. Zhong Kui didn't squint, and slowly considered a glass of wine and a glass of wine as usual...... Shaoqing, one black and one white, appeared out of thin air, each sitting ......
"Poof! Ya, there is good wine uninvited. Zhong Kui laughed.
"......" Hei Impermanence was speechless, and he raised his nose and sniffed the fragrance of the fat pig's head.
Bai Wuchang said indifferently: "Boy, how are you doing?" ”
"Okay, you guys are still enough to be angry?" Zhong Kui deliberately put on a very angry look.
Black and white impermanence glanced at each other, and said in a strange voice: "You girl, there may not be any bad things that can be difficult to get you?" ”
Zhong Kui put down Erlang's leg and said to Nunu on the opposite shore of the lake: "Huh! You don't know anything about that over there, do you? ”
"......" Bai Wuchang was speechless.
Hei Wuchang shook his head and said, "That's not easy, and you have to go through some diplomatic procedures." This matter is best handled by you, you have no door and no faction, and you are not a corner of three religions and nine streams. It's okay to come here, and no one dares not to buy your account. ”
Black impermanence is talking.
Zhong Kui's fingers tapped rhythmically on the bench. Da~Da~Da~ The ghost elf got the hint, slipped out, and bowed when he saw the black and white impermanence.
"Grandpa Black and White is above, and the ghost elves have saluted you."
Black and white impermanence shrugged, knowing that tonight's banquet was not drunk in vain, as if he hadn't seen ghosts and elves. Very helpless and squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Ya, we have to go, there are still many things to handle......
"Poof! Look at you two...... Alas! Labor and management understand, dare to love this underworld and the world are the same......"
Black and white impermanence stopped moving, and the two of them didn't understand the meaning of Zhong Kui's words.
"What's going on?" Bai Wuchang didn't hold back in the end, and hurriedly asked.
"The world is hot and cold, and there is no righteousness...... Zhong Kui took a sip of wine and said with a gloomy face.
"Why does that sound harsh?" Black Impermanence said to White Impermanence.
Bai Wuchang raised his ghost claws in agreement.
"Harsh?" Zhong Kui pretended to be drunk and hazy, then looked at the ghost elf standing beside him and said: "This child has a poor background, she was killed by foreign witchcraft, I just want to ask the two of you to find a convenient door to let her reincarnate as a human again." It's good for you two to have something to leave for a while...... Although I am an ordinary man, I understand the truth of human feelings, and the prophet grandfather of the ghost elf sacrificed everything he had in order to take revenge, leaving a ghost and spirit to entrust to me. You say, do I help or not? ”
"This ...... Hell Gate is about to open for the day, and we do have something to do, and if we don't smell your wine, we really wouldn't dare come here to chat. Black Impermanence laughed.
Bai Wuchang also stepped forward and said with a smile: "The ghost elf is already an elf, and it can't be reincarnated as an exception, this is ancient times." How dare the two of us break this law? ”
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will go down to the lake to salvage the precipitated corpses, and you have to find a way to help me. Unless I Zhong Kui comes to the underworld as soon as possible to report, you can turn a blind eye and ignore my life. Zhong Kui threw down the words, poured himself wine, and drank it all.
The difference between black and white impermanence is also so cunning, seeing Zhong Kui, with a straight face and no jokes, he muttered in his heart. Anyway, this Halloween, the gates of hell are wide open, I don't know how many bad things are waiting for the two of them to deal with, plus, some ghosts who are greedy for mortal things, don't think about advancing and retreating, and do evil in the world again, and they have to bother this girl's help, don't they? If you want to blame Zhong Kui at this juncture, it is not the best policy.
At the moment, the two ghosts are laughing together, and they don't dare to mention the topic of leaving. Agreed to all of Zhong Kui's requests, the ghost elves were reincarnated as human beings, but the two of them had to spend a little more effort to use their brains on the roster of life and death.
The two of them had an additional condition that once the gates of hell were closed. If there is a ghost who escapes and does not want to return to the gates of hell, he will be responsible for recovering it. After that, Black and White Impermanence smiled darkly, looking at the ghost elf, and then at Zhong Kui, the two ghosts smirked for a while.
The laughter of the two ghosts seeped into people, and the wine glasses on the wooden table clattered and jumped. The surface of the lake, which was smiling calmly, suddenly made waves, and even the ghosts and elves covered their ears, not daring to look at the two of them.
Zhong Kui held a banquet by the lake.
Zhiqing and the others didn't really rest, because Zhong Kui didn't tell them what he was doing, and he didn't give them the slightest hint. I just told them again and again not to go out when the night came.
Wengen and Zhiqing play backgammon.
Xiao Ming wrote and painted, and looked at the door from time to time, hoping that the master would come back early.
Xu Qian and Vanilla rested early.
Xiao Ming couldn't bear it anymore, and pretended to go to the toilet, but quietly slipped away to see what the master was doing by the lake. In his thoughts, Master must be helping someone. So there was nothing to be afraid of, so I walked all the way, looked all the way, and went to the lake.
In the dark sky, the lake was pitch black, and a pinch of flames in the distance, not yet burned out, swirled in the wind. I've been staring at it for a long time, and I'm tired. didn't see anyone here, a coldness hit, and Xiao Ming felt a little hairy in his heart.
