Chapter 120: The Book of Ghosts and Immortals
Pulling Shi Xing and Liudao to Huang Lao, Wang An introduced, "This is actually our director, but we have a good relationship, so everyone doesn't call him director, don't be polite, just call Huang Lao." ”
After speaking, Wang An shouted at Huang Lao, "Huang Lao, the time is here to punish them." ”
Although Wang An's voice was very loud, Huang Lao didn't react as if he was in another world.
Looking at Wang An, who was a little embarrassed, Shi Xing immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Hello Huang Lao, we are from the H City Foreign Intelligence Bureau, my name is Shi Xing, this is my colleague, Liudao." ”
Maybe there is indeed a gap between people, or it may be a matter of luck, hearing the sound of Shi Xing, Huang Lao, who put a sunspot on the chessboard, suddenly raised his head, looked at Shi Xing and Liudao, and said with a kind smile, "You two are the people that Liu Lu's kid explained." ”
Shi Xing nodded, "That, our director is indeed Liu Lu." ”
"Then you're welcome, find a place, sit down and rest, that Wang An, you go and pour some tea for these two." Huang Lao stood up and sat on the sofa with Shi Xing and Liudao.
"I've heard Liu Lu say about you, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to help you." Huang Lao took a sip of the tea made by Wang An, and said to Shi Xing with a smile.
"Thank you so much." Shi Xing nodded, took out a small box from the backpack behind him, and handed it to Huang Lao, "Huang Lao, before we came, our director instructed me that if I see your old man's house in S Province, I must hand over this box to you." ”
Taking the box in Shi Xing's hand, Huang Lao opened the box with some curiosity, inside the box is a milky white jade plate, crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, the front of the jade plate is depicted with a dragon and a phoenix, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, lifelike, you can see at a glance, this is definitely not a mortal thing.
Turning over the jade plaque, there is a row of small characters written on the back, the font is very small, and it is a little blurry, and I don't know if it is a poem or something for a while.
Huang Lao carefully held the jade plate, looked at it for a long time, and finally talked with some disappointment, "Liu Lu, Liu Lu, I didn't expect you to be willing to give me this jade card, it's a pity." ”
"Huang Lao, what's wrong with this jade brand." Shi Xing looked at Huang Lao, who had great emotional fluctuations, and was very worried, this old man was careless, emotional, and turned his back on him.
"This jade plate is a very spiritual antiquity, I got it with Liu Lu at that time, originally the two of us wanted to understand the secret of this jade card together, but who knew that this jade plate only had a reaction in Liu Lu's hand, and in my hand it became an ordinary jade card, there was no way, I had to let Liu Lu take it away."
"Then now that this jade card is back again, what is Huang Lao sighing." Wang An, who was sitting on the side, asked a little strangely.
"Yes, it's back, but I'm still inferior to Liu Lu, and this jade card still doesn't recognize me." After that, Huang Lao slowly put the jade plaque into the box again, handed it to Shi Xing, and admonished, "Shi Xing, you take this jade plaque back and return it to Liu Lu, just say that I have seen it, but I am still inferior to him." ”
"Huang Lao, this ......" Shi Xing looked at the box in his hand, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"That's it, it's fate to see it again, but it's doomed to us to have no point." Huang Lao shook his head.
"Huang Lao, isn't it just a broken jade card, as for the complaint." Wang An pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Broken jade card?" Hearing Wang An's words, Huang Lao shook his head, "You're still almost on fire, this is not a broken jade card, but a ghost fairy's confession." ”
"The ghost's letter to the land?" Hearing Huang Lao's words, Wang An and Shi Xing looked at the jade plate again with some surprise.
Ghost immortals, Shi Xing and Wang An both know that ghost immortals are a special kind of ghosts, which are roughly divided into two categories, one near immortals, and one kind of ghosts.
Legend has it that after a person dies, the soul will be led back to the underworld by the soul hooker, also known as the underworld, the underworld. And in this underworld, there is a reincarnation place called "Yellow Light", if you don't do anything bad in your life, then wait here for twenty-five years, and your soul can be reincarnated.
And those who don't want to be reincarnated, they can cultivate, learn to guide the art of prolonging life, and after learning, they can become ghosts and immortals.
As for the land notice, the history is even older.
It is said that a long, long time ago, people believed that death was nothing more than a journey, a migration from one place to another.
And this migration process is to go through the procedures of removing the household registration in the yang world and entering the household registration in the underworld. Therefore, the letter of complaint came into being, which is the identity certificate of the tomb owner when he entered the underworld, and if he could not show it, he would be a lonely ghost.
And this custom slowly, handed down, and even continued to innovate in later generations, the shape is mostly rectangular, the material is lead, brick, stone and so on, and the text is mainly Zhushu.
"Is this really a letter of complaint from the ghosts?" Wang An still didn't believe it.
"Why, you still suspect me as a bad old man?" Huang Lao looked at Wang An and explained, "You can look at the back of this jade plate, which is engraved with some information about the original owner, and the reason why I believe that this is a ghost fairy's letter to the land, the most important thing is that at the bottom of this jade plate, there is a sign of the underworld." ”
"Where, where?" When Wang An heard Huang Lao's explanation, he immediately carefully observed the jade plate again, and sure enough, at the bottom of the jade plate, there was a special mark of the underworld, which was the passage mark that could enter and exit the underworld.
"That's what it looks like." Shi Xing also looked at the jade plaque carefully, and found that there was another ghost head under the jade plaque, with a hideous face, grinning teeth, and in the mouth of the ghost head, there was a red skull key that could not be seen without paying attention.
"Wow, can we take this and go in and out of the underworld freely?" Wang An asked curiously.
"What do you think, of course not." Huang Lao immediately retorted, "However, I don't know if Liu Lu's kid can't after so many years." ”
Seeing Shi Xing and Wang An's eagerness to try, Huang Lao also felt that he seemed to have talked too much today, and immediately coughed, and said to Shi Xing, "Okay, put aside the matter of the jade plate for now, don't forget the purpose of your coming here." ”
Hearing Huang Lao's words, Shi Xing immediately put away the jade card and nodded, "Huang Lao is right, the most important thing now is not the jade card, but Qianqian's business." ”
"Hmm." Huang Lao nodded, "That's it, you are also the first time to come to S Province, and you are not familiar with the place, so it is better to let Wang An accompany you and help you find it together in the past few days, how about it." ”
Hearing Huang Lao's words, Shi Xing asked worriedly, "Won't those be too troublesome." ”
"What's the trouble with this." Wang An immediately hugged Shi Xing's shoulder, "Don't worry, you will follow my brother in the past few days and promise to make things clear to you." ”
Huang Lao looked at Wang An as a ruffian, shook his head, and said to Shi Xing, "Everyone else has something to do these days, but Wang An, this kid is not idle, you take him with you, and it won't delay things." ”
Hearing Huang Lao say this, Shi Xing also nodded and expressed his gratitude.
