Su Qiqi held the candle and found that everything around him had not changed in the slightest, but there was an indescribable weirdness.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" A hand from behind him slapped him on the shoulder.

Turning around, a gray-haired old woman stood behind him.

"Where is this?"

"Where is this?" The old grandmother grinned and said, "This is No. 717 Hulu Street, Zhaotai City, Hades." ”

"You're looking for someone from the sun again, aren't you?" The old woman looked at the candle in his hand.

"How do you know?"

"Oh, that's not weird!"

"Young man, take the candle a little lower, be seen by them, be careful to attract onlookers, after all, I haven't seen it for too long and will pant."

"Oh, oh! Can you tell me how to get there? ”

"The prefectural office? Hey, you'll take the three-way bus in a while, and you'll be there in three stops. ”

"Three-three buses?"

"yes."

"How long will I be walking?" Su Qiqi shuddered at the thought of sitting in a car with a large group of ghosts, he couldn't afford to toss so much yang energy.

"Walking? I'm afraid you won't find your way. The old woman smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll send you there, I'll be there in a while." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law, you are the most amiable ghost I have ever met." Su Qiqi grabbed the life-saving straw and hurried the dog's leg.

"It's fate to meet, I'm also here to visit relatives, and a cousin just came over from my house, and he specially called me to get together."

"Oh, mother-in-law, did you know that there is a street in this neighborhood called West Street?"

"West Street? There is no one here on West Street, but there is one on West Street, just in front. ”

Su Qiqi looked around, the location of the streets here was exactly the same as that of the sun, and even the buildings seemed to be copied.

"Mother-in-law, why?"

"You're wondering why the buildings here are exactly the same as those in the sun, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Actually, when the buildings here were sold to us, they were built in the style of the yang world, and the developers here were lazy and didn't want to spend their own effort to measure and design, so they all learned the style of the yang world.

Anyway, the cover is just like that, you like to buy it or not. So, now the big guys love to add some money to buy a single-family house, and if you don't like the style, you can also renovate it. ”

"I really can't imagine that your life in the underworld is quite enjoyable."

"On our side, except that there is no sun, it is basically no different from your yang!"

"Oh, yes." Su Qiqi looked up at the sky, gray and abrupt, as if it was a cloudy day.

"It's always like this here, isn't there a sunny day?"

"Yes, when it's sunny here, it's red, like a cloud of fire burning in the sky."

"Oh, that's right!"

"After all, we are still separated from the sky by your sun, and the sun can't shine on us." The old grandmother sighed: "It's Xiyuan Street just around the corner in front, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

"Look, I'm going to see who's living over there."

"Your home? Now, young man, this is not your home, your home is up there. ”

"Yes, I'm just curious!" Su Qiqi turned a corner and saw the familiar gate.

This family turned the shroud shop in front of it into a residence, but the door was exactly the same as his house.

Su Qiqi wanted to see what was inside, and just reached out to knock on the door, he was stopped by the old woman.

"What do you do?"

"I'd like to go in and have a look."

"That's not right!" The old woman shook her head, "People in the underworld don't disturb the people in the underworld, and you people in the underworld naturally don't disturb the people in the underworld, this is the rule." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot, I'm sorry."

Su Qiqi scratched his head in embarrassment, he was a little excited when he came to the underworld for the first time.

"Let's go!" The old woman sighed, "Since you are looking for the underworld, you have something to do, don't delay." ”

"Yes, thank you mother-in-law, thank you mother-in-law, it's important to get down to business."

When I got out of this street, the road ahead suddenly became much wider, and there were more ghosts coming and going.

"Mother-in-law, why were there so few ghosts on that street just now?"

"I heard that more than ten years ago, there was a big incident on the top of that street, and many people died that night, and the ghosts couldn't be busy at all, so they caught the soul and threw it directly on this street, and the dead ghosts lay on the street and cried all night.

In the end, all the residents living in the surrounding area complained about the ghosts who performed official duties on the grounds of disturbing the people, but the prefecture government at that time refused to accept it, so they went to the street to demonstrate, and pulled a banner that read: The prefecture disturbs my ghost's life.

When they made a fuss, the prefecture didn't do anything, and directly cut off water and electricity for them for several days. ”

"Several households around the gas have moved away, and the rest is to continue to fight with the underworld, but ah, this grievance has passed for more than ten years, and the underworld has also settled on this matter later, and it is over.

But after that, no one moved in this land again, and the second-hand houses couldn't be sold, and who didn't know that there would be no good end to working against the underworld. ”

"This prefecture is too bad, just dismiss those ghosts."

"Oh, no, at that time, the underworld was short of manpower, and there was a reason for it, and there was no way.

The underworld was mishandled, but the ghosts didn't understand the underworld at that time, right? ”

"It makes sense, the maintenance of this order and law is mutual!" Su Qiqi nodded in agreement.

"The front is the back gate of the underworld compound, the highest place not far away is the city gate of the capital city, and the main hall of the yamen of the underworld is in the middle, which is the general affairs office."

"Can I go in?"

"Go in, the back door is unguarded, but you can't get in the General Affairs Office! After a while, when you enter, take the corridor on the right, and beware of being seen by the demons. ”

"Mother-in-law, where are you going?"

"I'm going to do something at the back office in front."

"Mother-in-law, I haven't asked your name yet, he will meet you again and invite you to tea."

"Young man, did you really not recognize my mother-in-law?"

"Recognize you, who you are?"

"I've been to your shroud shop to buy something."

"It's you!" Su Qiqi suddenly realized that it was the old lady who went to the shroud shop a few months ago to buy paper money for herself.

"Remembered? Is the girl you were with last time okay? She helped me a lot, so I was able to save a lot of money here in advance. ”

"Mother-in-law, I came to save her this time, she was caught by a ghost."

"Oh? Looks like I've done the right thing! The old woman smiled and said, "In this way, young man, you go with me, and I can send you in." ”

"Mother-in-law, are you so powerful?" Su Qiqi asked.

"Don't flatter me, but you have to go with me to a place first, right ahead."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The old woman walked in front, and Su Qiqi followed behind.

"Didn't you ask my mother-in-law what my name was?"

"yes."

"Mother-in-law, my surname is Meng."

"Surname Meng? I always feel that something is strange."

"It's here!" The old woman said, turning into a courtyard.

There was a ghost clerk sitting there at the door.

"Who?" The little clerk asked, looking up.

"The new Meng Po, come here to report." The mother-in-law said word by word.

"Meng Po?" The little clerk and Su Qiqi exclaimed at the same time.

"Who is this?" The little clerk pointed to Su Qiqi behind her, and Su Qiqi quickly hid the candle behind her.

"This is my little nephew, curious about what the house is like, so I beg me to bring him to open his eyes." Meng Po explained calmly.

"Oh, okay, but although Lord Yama has been absent recently, the supervision of the underworld is relatively lax, but you better let him not run around, so as not to cause trouble and we will not be able to deal with it."

"Okay, don't worry, he won't." Meng Po smiled and took the document handed over by the ghost and signed it.

"You can be regarded as coming, don't you know, your aunt and grandmother don't know what's wrong, she has to resign and want to raise her salary, and now the economy is so sluggish, how can the prefecture agree, this has been making trouble for almost two months,

However, the ghosts on the bridge were crowded, and the team was almost lined up on Xudu Mountain, she slapped her ass and left, and even your Meng family's ancestral Meng Po soup secret recipe didn't leave a single star, only a bunch of messes left for us to be anxious! The little clerk shook his head helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to report? You have to thank my little nephew, if he hadn't wanted to come and see it today, I'd have thought I'd come back in a few days. ”

"Don't wait a few days, the bridge will collapse in a few days!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the general affairs office to show my face in a while, and I'll rush to Naihe Bridge."

"Please, please, thank you so much!" The little clerk stood up and bowed a hundred and eighty degrees.

Meng Po led the stunned Su Qiqi out of the courtyard.

"Meng Po? You're amazing, I've grown up listening to your stories. Su Qiqi looked adoring.

"You're not listening to my story, it's the story of my ancestors." Meng Po turned back to correct him.

"Mother-in-law, what does your Meng Po soup taste like? Sweet, salty or sour? ”

"I'll boil a bowl for you to taste?"

"Don't say goodbye, it's not time yet." Su Qiqi waved his hand again and again.

"There will be a chance to drink, and when the time comes, you can boil me dessert and put more sugar."

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about, old lady, I can see that you are a cultivator, and after a hundred years, you will report to the heavens instead of the earth!"

"What else do you want to drink my Meng Po soup! Do you want to be ambitious? ”

"Oh, mother-in-law, I don't have to"

"What's not necessarily? Tell you, mother-in-law, I see people accurately, and you will definitely have some achievements in the future! ”

"Thank you for your mother-in-law's auspicious words, mother-in-law, you are so good" Looking at Meng Po in front of him, he finally understood why Lu Yao always talked about that ghost mother-in-law.

"Here, this is it, you will follow me in a while, and when you enter the courtyard, you will quickly find a place to hide, and there will be someone inside to answer you?"

"Yes, my master is inside." Su Qiqi followed Meng Po in.

"Stop, who's who?" The ghost at the door stopped them.

"The new Meng Po."

"Oh? It turned out to be Meng Po, please come in, please come in, this is the back? ”

"It's my little nephew, you are accommodating, I'll take him in and come out in a few minutes." Meng Po winked her eyebrows at the ghost.

"This."

"Hey, I know that Lord Hades is not at home these days, so you just turn a blind eye!" As he spoke, he took out a few gold ingots and stuffed them into the ghost's hand.

"Eh, this is not good, this is not in accordance with the rules," the ghost muttered.

Meng Po understood this, hooked the corners of her mouth, and took out a few large tickets from her pocket and stuffed them into his hands, "What are the rules for this round?" ”

"Hehe" the ghost nodded repeatedly, "Let's go in, but come out quickly." ”

"Alright, thank you, brother!" Su Qiqi hid the candle by his side and ran into the hall with a smoke.

"Hurry up, hurry up, find a place to cat, a group of ghosts are coming."

Meng Po pushed Su Qiqi, and Su Qiqi quickly hid in the curtain behind the screen.

"What does it smell like?" A few ghosts came out of the side door, sniffing around, "Why does it smell like a living person?" ”

"It's an old body, the old body is a new ghost, and the dead are not very clean, I'm afraid that there is still a bit of living human smell on the body."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Meng Po."

"Yo, why did your old man come, if you don't come again, the bridge will be rebuilt."

"I think you caught me in advance because I didn't work on the bridge, right?"

"How can that, look at what you're saying."

"What about your chiefs? I'll show my face so I can go to the bridge. ”

"The boss is in the back hall, we'll take you there!" The ghosts politely invited Meng Po and hugged her back to the back hall.

"Wow, I didn't expect Meng Po to be so popular in the underworld?" Su Qiqi didn't dare to take a breath behind the curtain.

Seeing that the hall was empty, he cautiously ran out of the back door, walked along the corridor to the yamen hall, and looked sneakily inside at the door.

"Come in, Qiqi, you're walking too slowly!" The voice of Su Eryi came from the hall.

Hearing Su Eryi's voice, Su Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
