Chapter 42: Bad Ghosts
The ghost was taught, and he fell into deep thought, forgetting when he had become this lustful appearance, and he had failed the good intentions of the underworld.
His name is Wang Ye, he was born in Fog City, and died in Fog City, at that time, there were corpses all over the place, and he and his father were the burial people here, because the corpses were poor people, so there was no oil and water to fish, and their occupation was to bury the nameless corpses in this corpse land and pile up lonely graves.
The village officials only gave three cents for a grave, and if there was no delay in one night, three lonely graves could be erected, just enough for the father and son to make a living, Wang Ye helped his father dig the ground, pile up the soil, and drag the corpse to erect a monument. After dealing with corpses for a long time, I don't think they are terrible, but outsiders avoid his father and son, and they will feel bad luck when dealing with them, Wang Ye didn't understand when he was a child, why adults were so afraid of contacting them, and then he grew up, and he understood when he had a favorite girl, but he was used to what others thought of him, and he didn't dare to confess to women.
Wang Ye's father knew that his work ruined the future of his children, and his wife was depressed because of the gossip of these idlers, and left their father and son early, he was worried that his children would also be dragged down, and wanted to take Wang Ye away, so he resigned from the village official as a bury of the corpse, who expected that the village official would not follow, because no one was willing to accept such a job, there was no money to be made, and it was not popular, if Wang Ye's father did not do it, his position as a village official would not be guaranteed.
Later, the negotiation was completed, and the village official pointed out a way for him to make money, and Wang Ye's father buried all the nameless corpses that he ignored, which belonged to completing the task, and the village officials had no oil and water to fish, so naturally they couldn't pay him much.
Now many warlords will rob some women to be their aunts, and those handsome people who are not happy to provoke will be killed if they are unhappy, and the corpses will of course be abandoned in the wilderness, and they will arrange for people to be transported to the corpse city a few miles away, at this time, if someone is willing to do this for them, those who are afraid of provoking bad luck will give a reward, and a few yuan will be given, and it will be easier than his hard work to earn it once a month.
The crooked method of the village official is feasible, but it is a bit dangerous, and the king is like a tiger. So he did it by himself and let Wang Ye wait at home.
Sure enough, his life has improved a lot, he helps the military valve to transport the corpse at night, and he will give a dozen yuan Datou, so that he can keep his mouth shut, sometimes he can run a few times a month and earn dozens of yuan, since then Wang Ye is responsible for burying the nameless corpse, and his father will transport the corpse, and his life has improved greatly.
Although this method is a good way to make money, some people began to point out that their money was not clean, and when they were rich, their waists were straight, and Wang Ye's father ignored them, which caused some people to start to blush.
After that, his father asked Wang Ye to change his career, to do business, and to do this work alone, maybe it was really the money earned by burying these dead corpses, and his father did not die well.
Some people were jealous and secretly followed him, and after knowing it, the news came out, and it had already changed in the ears of the warlord, and it became a fragrant rumor, and it was said with relish, but you can imagine how big the impact was, thinking that Wang Ye's father couldn't control his mouth, so he ordered him to be killed.
Honestly, he thought that after dealing with them for a long time, he would treat him as his own, after all, he knew so much about them, but he didn't know that because he knew too much, he was killed and killed, so he died in so many nameless graves buried with his own hands, and Yuan Datou on his body was robbed.
Wang Ye was still using the money left by his father to do business at that time, and he didn't know that his father was killed, and finally he didn't know about it because the business was lost, and he buried his father's bones alone.
At this time, the idlers began to say again, it must be that the old king lacked virtue and did too much, and was asked for his life by the ghost, anyway, it didn't fall a word.
After doing his father's old business, he knew that he was not suitable for business, there was too much knowledge in it, and he couldn't read a few words, and he was deceived cleanly.
Since then, the work of burying corpses has become sought-after, and it has evolved into an industry, as well as feng shui, the knowledge of warding off evil spirits, and it is also a pioneer and a school to accept apprentices and teach art.
Wang Ye doesn't know the doorway inside, he has been following his father to bury the corpse for so long, and he has seen a lot of weird and evil things, but it has always been that people don't commit ghosts, ghosts don't commit crimes, and suddenly there are so many things that he doesn't understand, is it possible that now he can't even bury corpses if he can't read or write?
Later, I learned that it was all a trick to pretend to be a ghost, that is, to coax outsiders to collect more red envelopes for burying corpses, which confirmed a sentence, as long as you dare to think and dare to do, there are business opportunities everywhere, and there is gold all over the ground, and burying corpses has become a way to get rich.
One day, he was still doing conscientious labor, and at that time he also wanted to follow those people to earn such a dollar, but everyone was willing to take it, but he didn't take him, I heard that the old master headed by the burying man was the one who indirectly killed his father behind his back, but he didn't admit it, so he couldn't do it, so he could only look at it in his eyes and hate it in his heart.
They sneakily brought a corpse in the night, Wang Ye sneaked over, they brought a female corpse, it seemed that when it came, the woman still had a breath, but they brutally killed it, and then buried it, and the face of extermination was in a lonely grave, it was difficult to distinguish their human appearance.
What Wang Ye didn't expect was that the woman turned out to be the woman next door that he had been thinking about for a long time, and he thought that one day he would be able to marry the one he dreamed of, but no one was optimistic about this marriage, and later gave the evil handsome as an aunt, and he was only nineteen years old this year, and he was poisoned by the gangsters.
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't bear it, so I fought with them, but I was weak and died at their hands.
The ghosts of the era of the beacon fire are too busy, especially hard, a spirit ghost has to send away more than a dozen souls a day, and the corpse city is even more incomprehensible, I don't know how long it took to enter the Yellow Spring.
I didn't do anything bad before I was alive, and I was buried for the nameless corpse and did a good deed, so I gave an errand and became a ghost pawn, and it took me almost thirty or forty years to become a ghost, and I returned to the renamed Fog City to do a ghost errand.
When he first became a ghost, he was also loyal to his duties and obeyed the law, but no one lived in Fog City, so he had nothing to do, even if there were wandering ghosts and wild ghosts passing by, he had to interrogate and then decide whether to let him go or take him to the underworld for merit.
Later, I heard that there was such a troublesome ghost in Fog City, and there was no way to pass by, and Fog City fell into a dead city.
Wang Ye began to investigate why the corpse city became a fog city, here are all remnant souls, including his own, no anger can form such a big fog, what happened here after so many years of his absence?
This used to be a place where a hundred ghosts walked at night, and now it has become so pure and naturally has nothing to do with itself, it is the seniors who took care of it before they let themselves take office, and they asked around, and said that after their death, the whole country launched a war, and the corpse city was unfortunately spared, the warlords fled, and the industry of burying corpses was not good.
Later, after a heavy rain, the corpse city was surrounded by Shili Lake into a fog city, so the key is Shili Lake, what did that heavy rain bring.
It is estimated that no one dares to enter the bottom of this lake except for ghosts, and Wang Ye finally found that there was a mirage lying in this lake, and it came from nowhere, lying in the deepest part of the lake.
Wang Ye reported to the underworld, so he sent the underworld to inspect, and it was determined that it was a mirage, but the mirage would not take the initiative to hurt people if it was not disturbed, and it should have hundreds of years of cultivation, and now it is just to find a place to sleep, and it is estimated that the fog city will stay here.
The mirage resembles a large oyster, it is a water object, it has a gentle personality, it will emit a thick fog to protect itself when it sleeps, and when it wakes up, it will cast a mirage that it has seen before, and if it is angry, it will make people have illusions, it is dangerous at that time, and it will always live in a dream.
Since then, Wang Ye has one more responsibility, to protect the peace of the fog city for a while, and to monitor this mirage, if it has been asleep, then let it be, because the ten halls of Yama have a headache for these ancient monsters, if they are disturbed, they will quickly report, whether to stop or drive away and then discuss, but the mirage has only been here for a short time, and it should sleep for hundreds of years.
The fog in Fog City is also clear, and Wang Ye has also made a contribution, and he stays on this ten-mile pavilion on weekdays to watch, and no one is allowed to disturb the tranquility here.
Later, Murder Hao discovered this good place and turned it into a crime city, Wang Ye couldn't help him, as a ghost, he had to be afraid of him like him, if the king of Hades didn't let him die, no one could do anything about him, maybe it was because of his hard life.
Killer Hao received a psychic wild Buddha from Nanyang, and since then he knows all the yin spirits in Fog City, including seeing Wang Ye.
The wild Buddha relies on the soul to help it cultivate, so it has something to do with Wang Ye, but Wang Ye is not the opponent of the wild Buddha, and the murderer coerced and lured Wang Ye to become his own minions, and those who know the times are Junjie, either eaten by the wild Buddha, or sit and enjoy the prosperity of the world, it is not so uninteresting for anyone, especially Wang Ye has worked hard all his life, of course, there is no reason to refuse.
The conditions offered by the murderer are tempting, Wang Ye fortunately did not keep some secrets, only went along with him, and the order of the netherworld would not tell him anything, including the secret of the mirage in Shili Lake, I am afraid that if he dies, he will know the order of Huangquan, which will change the original fate.
Killer Hao also gladly accepted, as long as he was a ghost, he could instruct him some rules, such as what to pay attention to not be discovered, or to the point of being punished by heaven and resentment, and the rest was on his own.
Since then, they have become yin and yang partners, making Fog City their territory.
