Chapter Sixty-Eight: The City of Death
Well, it's cold and poor. Since I dreamed, I have burned a lot of paper money for the old man, and I burn a lot of it every day, and I don't understand why he is still short of money? Old Man Ma asked suspiciously.
If you are short of money, there are only two possibilities, one is that the money did not reach Mr. Ma at all, and the other is that it was snatched away by the evil ghost of Yinsi. I don't know which one it is, but it looks like we're going to be in the shade again this time.
I said, "We already know the general situation, if it is convenient, please prepare a room with the sun on all sides, close the curtains, and then write Mr. Ma's birthday on red paper, it is best to have a photo for us to see, and then prepare some dark money and paper money, we will go down to the yin and ask him below." ”
"Lower yin?" Old Man Ma's eyes widened, "Are you going down to find my father?" ”
I nodded, "What's wrong?" ”
"You won't...... Dead, right? Old Man Ma looked at us worriedly.
"No, it won't." I kind of wanted to laugh, "Let's go back now, get something, and start at eleven o'clock tonight, okay?" ”
"Okay, I'll have someone clean it up now." The old lady said.
I explained the specific things to Lingzheng again, and went back to my grandmother's house to get things. Grandma instructed Xiao Wu to help us prepare things, and then sat on the sofa and explained to us the precautions for walking in the shade. In fact, I would have memorized these a long time ago.,It's nothing more than don't provoke trouble.,Especially ghosts.,Try not to provoke the evil ghosts there.,Because it's good to be a bad ghost in the yin.,There is usually a backstage.,After finding the person you're looking for.,Leave after asking about things.,Don't ask too much or something.。
"Okay, okay, I know, by the way, grandma, do you know the soul collector there, it's the one who wears a black dress." I suddenly remembered this stubble.
"I know, I used to go down to yin when I was young, I talked to him a few times, and I also helped him find a few escaped ghosts." Grandma said.
"In this way, no wonder his attitude changed immediately when he heard that I was your granddaughter that day, and said that he would cover me."
"Count it out that he owes his grandmother a favor, there is a ghost in the Yin Si, it will be a lot easier to do things, remember to have a good relationship with him." Grandma sighed and admonished.
"Well, Grandma I know." I answered.
Ling Zheng suddenly asked, "Grandma, do you know the origin of the white-clothed ghosts patrolling near the Soul Road?" "Lingzheng is calling my grandmother like me. - As soon as he said this, I remembered that the guy almost arrested me last time, and then he ignored us again for some reason.
"The ghost in white? You mean Cui Hao? ”
"Cui Hao? I don't know what his name is, but anyway, it's a ghost in white clothes, patrolling there with a group of imps, and people are very arrogant. "As soon as I think of his attitude that day, I get angry.
"That's Cui Hao, that's right, he has a good relationship with Bai Wuchang, and Bai Wuchang covers him, so people are very arrogant. However, the mind is not so vicious, what's wrong? Grandma said.
"It's okay, I've met him before, so ask casually."
I'm not going to talk about what happened last time.
If my grandmother knew that we almost got into a fight with a ghost, she would definitely be half angry, and for the sake of her old man's physical and mental health, I would not say it.
"Okay, hurry up to dinner, then take a nap, and go in the shade at night." Grandma waved her hand.
After eating, I took my things and went to Ma's house with Lingzheng.
The old lady had already prepared everything, and I lit two candles and put them next to the bed like last time, and then put red paper under the pillow, on which were written the eight characters of Mr. Ma's birthday and the day of sacrifice.
Soon, I was in the groove.
We already knew about the Yin Pass here when we came, and it was in a mass grave not far from the Ma family, and Ling Zheng and I first separated our souls from the Ma family, and then went to the mass grave to enter the Yin Division. When the two of us arrived, it was very noisy, there were five or six ghosts chattering, and there were even two old ghosts, who somehow got a pair of chess pieces and put them on the ground, and there were a few onlookers standing next to them with relish. I looked around, but there are no evil ghosts, they are all ordinary ghosts, and they didn't go to reincarnation, probably because they want to wait for their relatives to die and go again.
As soon as those ghosts saw me and Lingzheng, they immediately showed respectful and terrified looks.
Our line of work is still very intimidating for ordinary ghosts. I nodded at them, and asked if I had seen Mr. Ma, his grave was not far from here, and we had already gone to his grave just now, but we didn't see his ghost.
"My lord, you mean Ma Nianxiang?"
An old ghost dressed in black asked.
"Yes, it's him, you see him?" I asked hurriedly.
"No, that old guy is very unlucky, and when he went down, he didn't know how to mess with a demon on the first day. The evil devil looked for him every day, and even grabbed the things that were burned for him. The old ghost said with a sigh, his expression full of sympathy.
"Demons? Don't the ghosts of Yin Si care? I asked, surprised.
"Tube? How? There are people above him, and they can't be managed by general, and they don't care if they can manage it. The old ghost said indignantly.
"Someone? Who? I asked, "Is there anything else in the Yin Division?"
"That's Cui Hao, have you heard of it? The one who has a good relationship with Lord Bai Wuchang, that evil ghost is Cui Hao's son, Cui Hao covers him and lets him toss. One of the old ghosts playing chess said.
Cui Hao?
I think of the white-clothed ghost who had a holiday with me, and his name is Cui Hao!
It's him again!
It seems that I am destined to do the opposite against him, and I will probably offend him again this time.
"Where is Ma Nianxiang now, do you know?" I asked.
"I don't know, maybe in the city of vain near the capital city, Cui Hao's son lives there, and often uses the old horse to serve him." Another old ghost playing chess guessed.
"Dead City? Okay, we got it, thank you. I nodded.
I haven't entered this vain city yet, and there are some yin souls who died in vain, because in the book of life and death, their yang life is not over, and the yin division can't arrange a place for them to be reincarnated, so they can only stay in the vain city for the time being.
"Let's go."
Ling Zheng nodded at the Yin Spirits, and then gave them some ingots.
The Yin Pass here is on the ground, and it leads directly underground, unlike the Target Mountain, which is in a cave. I entered the Yin Pass with Lingzheng, and after a familiar road, we reached half a pace, and the soul collector was still staying there dressed in black, and he was a little surprised to see me coming.
"Hello adults, the Yin girl Tang Chuyi came to Yin Si today to ask someone about something." I said to him.
He nodded and let us pass.
After passing the Santu River and the eighteenth layer of hell, we arrived at the gate of the city. In front is the city of Xudu, to the right is the city of death, and on the left is the fire refining lotus pond and the soul return road. We didn't stay long, and went straight to the city of the dead on the right. Two demons were guarding the gate of the city, and when they saw us coming, they immediately stopped us.
"Miscellaneous people, etc., are not allowed to enter the city without a token."
The green-faced and fanged onicha on the left said.
I took out some ingots and coins from my pocket, and while reaching out and stuffing them into their hands, I said: "Tang Chuyi, the Yin Girl, came here to do something, she won't make trouble, she will leave as soon as the matter is done, and she will definitely not embarrass the two adults, my lord, see if you can be accommodating." ”
The ghost almost quietly put the thing in the wide sleeve of his coat, and his expression wandered.
I gritted my teeth and shoved some more.
The ghost got the benefits that satisfied them and immediately let them go.
Entering the city of vain, I looked around curiously.
This is the first time I've been to this dead city, and it looks like an ancient city on earth, except that it's gray everywhere. There are many ghosts of all kinds floating on the street, wearing everything, ancient and modern, and it seems that there are ghosts who have settled here for a long time.
"Lingzheng, why did you say that these ancient ghosts still stayed here and didn't go to reincarnation?" I watched as I watched as a pale-faced ghost in a delicate ancient garment floated by, who was more than a thousand years old, to say the least.
"Some people are used to staying and don't want to be reincarnated, but they can stay here to do some small business, and some have a good relationship with Yincha, so staying here is more comfortable." Lingzheng explained.
"So that's the case, I don't know where Ma Nianxiang is now." It dawned on me.
"Just ask."
Ling Zheng said, and grabbed a male ghost in a black suit next to him, there was a blood mark on his wrist, which should have been killed by cutting his wrist.
"Hello, this brother, do you know where Cui Hao's son, Cui Jian, is?"
The male ghost did kill himself by cutting his wrists, and when he saw us mention Cui Hao, he suddenly showed a look of fear: "No, no, no, I don't know...... Just ask somebody, I don't know anything. After the male ghost finished speaking, he quickly disappeared.
I found another old lady who was selling incense and candles on the side of the road, "Hello, mother-in-law, do you know where Cui Hao's son Cui Jian is?" ”
The old lady's frightened hands trembled, shaking her head like a rattle, and she seemed to have been cut by someone's throat, so she shook her head, which suddenly gave me a feeling that her head would fall off at any time: "I don't know...... The old body doesn't know anything, don't ask me, don't ask me. ”
I couldn't ask anything, so I had to give up.
slandered this Cui Jian in his heart, what did he do to make these ghosts talk about it.
"It seems that I can only find it slowly."
I glanced at the long streets, a little helpless.
"Not necessarily."
Lingzheng suddenly moved his gaze to a place, and I followed his line of sight, and it was a two-story teahouse. The place where Ling is looking is a window on the second floor, there is a long five big and three thick looking fierce and vicious ghost, is holding a charming-looking female ghost, sitting there, next to standing a rickety old ghost, the same as the next person. I looked at the old ghost, and my hand moved unconsciously.
There is Ma Nianxiang's message written in his pocket, as well as a photo, which is the person in front of him.
That's him!
Then the one with the female yin soul next to him is Cui Jian!
