To be honest, the beef noodles tonight were really good, except for the beef.

Standing in front of the sewer manhole cover, I straightened out my cleaned black jacket and the inexplicable thought popped into my head.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and naturally there were no pedestrians, so I removed the manhole cover and drilled down.

Of course, I would move the manhole cover back after each time I went down.

I exhaled lightly, I was still quite nervous, after all, I went down alone.

I closed my eyes and made a connection with the box, and a trace of cool air poured into my eyes, and I chanted a spell, and then my eyes suddenly opened.

At the moment of opening, I felt the cool air surging in my eyes quickly dissipated, similar to tears, flowing in the air in front of me in a mysterious trajectory, and soon a door emerged, this door was composed of gray light, a cold breath rushed to the face, if it was before, by this impact, at least there would be a cold war, but now there is a strange sense of comfort, and even I noticed that the yang box absorbed some yin qi, and an inexplicable sense of joy emerged in my heart.

This mysterious and terrible underworld actually gave me the illusion of going home at this time.

Reaching out and pushing, the light door slowly opened, and I stepped in.

By the time I had fully entered the Gate of Light, I had already arrived in a strange world.

The last time I went to the underworld, I walked on the Yin Road in all directions, and the ghosts of the capital God's Yamen were well-dressed and orderly, if I hadn't met the terrible black-haired people, I wouldn't have felt that I was walking in the underworld, because in my impression this is a weird and terrifying existence.

And this time I went down to the underworld, and as soon as I gained a firm foothold, a big face appeared in front of my eyes.

Originally, there was nothing in the face, but this one, not to mention the miserable whiteness, his facial features were bleeding, and what was even more terrifying was that there was only a bloody hole left in his right eye, and there seemed to be something unknown squirming in it.

Damn!

I was so frightened that my soul flew out, and I took several steps back in succession, almost not sitting on the ground.

I think I was also a standard "little prince of ghost movies" back then, the midnight murder bell, the old corpse in the mountain village and something were all watched by one person in the middle of the night, very strong, but I couldn't stand that this time it was real, my legs couldn't help but tremble, and my heart was pounding.

"Hey, you, you're alive?"

This long face spoke, and the intact one eye looked at me roundly, full of surprise, I held my chest with my hand, and it took a long time to calm my emotions, and at first glance, this ghost was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, dressed crookedly in a suit, and there were a lot of blood stains on it.

The ghost looked at me for a while, and suddenly showed a greedy smile, and Yin Yin said, "I heard that there is some yang energy in people, let me suck it up." ”

My heart jumped, and I shouted inwardly: "Don't come here, I'm not an ordinary person!" ”

I am a civil servant in the underworld, but I haven't learned the skills, I'm a beginner, if it really hurts me, I can't do anything about it.

What else was the ghost about to say, suddenly a hand appeared from the top of his head, slapped it fiercely, slapped the ghost into a slap, and scolded: "Who hit me!" ”

"It's you who fights and saves, you dare to provoke anyone, I think you don't want to cross the river in your life!"

A young male ghost in his twenties flashed out from behind the middle-aged ghost, and at the same time pushed him, pushing the middle-aged ghost to sit on the ground.

After scolding a few words, the young male ghost trotted up to me in a few steps, bowed first, and showed a humble smile after getting up: "You are the new Yin and Yang Communicator, right?" ”

The ghost was wearing a tracksuit, and his face was very clean, which made a good impression on me, and I asked, "How do you know it's me?" ”

"The living people who can appear here, except for the Yin and Yang correspondents, there is no one else, you are right?"

"What's your name?"

"Back to the adult, little Li Shi."

It turned out to be him, I remembered Li Yuansheng's instructions, and I had to rely on him to lead the way this time.

I've never been treated like this, oh, it's a ghost, even if Han Fu is not as low as him, which makes me very embarrassed, suddenly a flash of thought, and hurriedly took out two pieces of money from the yang box and handed them over: "I have to trouble you to guide the way this time, don't be too little." ”

This money is basically the same as the one I used when I went to the city god yamen, the only difference is that the money emitted purple light that time, and this money is gray light, and I want to come to a low level.

Li Yuansheng left me about 500 pieces of this kind of money, and I don't know how much it is worth.

Li Shi sighed, only took one, but the other one couldn't help but push back: "The small one is to lead the way, you don't need so much, you put this one away." ”

Eh, this person is interesting, I directly stuffed the money into his hand, and said in a hard tone: "Take it, I will have your help in the future, I won't give face." ”

"This, okay, the small one will be accepted, you will have something to tell you in the future, by the way, the boat is waiting over there, let's go over now?"

When he said this, I began to look around, the gray sky, no sun and no moon, in front of me was a huge river, rushing endlessly, I could not see the other side, the strange thing was that the water was black.

And on the shore not far away, there is a wooden boat seven or eight meters long, and there are some figures sitting on it, all of whom are ghosts who want to cross the river.

"There are few new ghosts today, only nine, and the big guys have all passed once."

As I walked to the shore, I pointed to the river and asked, "Does this river have a name?" ”

"Yes, the name of this river is Yanshuo, but this name is rumored to be given by the current Chenghuang Master, so I don't know what it was called before."

Flame Shimmer? I repeated it, and I couldn't guess what it meant, but it didn't matter, but I asked curiously: "What is the difference between this river of the underworld and the river of the yang, can you drink it?" ”

Li Shiyan's face changed suddenly, and he said with a wry smile: "My lord, you must not drink this water, you can't touch it, this river in the underworld is very corrosive, and many ghosts don't believe in evil, just reach out and dip it, and it will almost rot, and you can't make up for it." ”

I was taken aback, it's so powerful, this is simply a strengthened version of the sulfuric acid river Okay, it can actually corrode ghosts, today is a long experience.

As I spoke, I had already reached the shore, and an old man in ancient costume at the stern of the boat was startled when he saw me coming, and then bowed down and said, "You are the new correspondent, I am the ferryman Su Zhexiu, please sit in the cabin." ”

The ship was quite wide, and there were nine ghosts crammed into the ship except for the old man, because the cabins took up one-third of the hull, and the remaining area was a little crowded with nine.

I was stunned for a moment, because I didn't know how to give the ferryman a few pieces of money, and when I squinted and saw Li Shi stretching out two fingers, I was relieved, and I took out two pieces of money and handed them over.

After Su Zhexiu took the money, she smiled, bowed down and invited me and Li Shi into the cabin, and lowered the curtain.

"That is, with you, my lord, I can sit in this cabin, and I have to squeeze outside when I am resting." Li Shi sat across from me with a smug expression.

"Hey, what's going on with that suit ghost just now." I suddenly thought of the ghost, and opened the curtain to look, and saw the ghost in the suit that had scared me standing on the shore, looking at the ship silently and expressionlessly, and the ship had set sail, and was getting farther and farther away from him.

"That, it's an unlucky guy, I came down a few days ago, because I offended Su Zhexiu, I can't get on the ferry, and it's estimated that my soul will be scattered in a month at most!"

"Why?"

"It's not clear to you when you first took office, if this new ghost who has entered the underworld, if he can't go to the Chenghuang Yamen in time to file for trial, he can't be naturalized, and this ghost without a ghost will not be recognized by the underworld, and the end will be scattered."

I nodded thoughtfully, it turns out that there is such a saying, I can't help but feel a little sorry for it, why don't you take a time to help intercede?

I'm such a person, as long as you don't offend me, then I won't take it to heart, the ghost in the suit is really pitiful, just because I offended the ferryman, I can't cross the river, and there is no hope of reincarnation, this soul is scattered, and there is no more such person in heaven and earth.

Thinking about it, I wrote down this matter, and after a while, I asked Li Shi again: "Then these new ghosts will go directly to this river after they come down?" ”

"How can it, before coming to this river, I have to climb several mountains, there are some ghosts and beasts entrenched in that mountain, specializing in eating the yin qi of passing ghosts, but all the new ghosts who come down have been stripped of several layers of skin when they turn over several mountains, I don't believe you look at those ghosts crowded outside."

When I heard this, I lifted the curtain, and these crowded ghosts suddenly looked at me, and sure enough, their figures were far from the condensed state of Su Zhexiu and Li Shi.

The ghosts looked at me with different expressions, but they all looked terrified, for they could see that I was a living man, and that I had come to the underworld, and that I could sit in the cabin, which took up a third of the hull, and that the two of them sat in a very spacious place, while they could only huddle outside. The difference in treatment between the two sides is too big, and coupled with my status as a living person, anyone can guess that I am not ordinary.

In their eyes, I may be a legendary immortal.

Suddenly I saw an old lady who looked familiar, as if she was near my previous address, but she didn't seem to recognize me.

I saw that she looked frightened, and couldn't help but look around, and found that after I looked at her, she didn't dare to look at me, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Putting down the curtain, I was full of emotion for a while, if it was according to the previous life, I would be like them after I died, crowded on this boat, guessing the unknown fate, but in the blink of an eye, I became a civil servant in the underworld, became a so-called adult, sitting in this loose cabin, enjoying special treatment and the flattery of the ghosts, thinking that even after my death, I am very comparable, and the fate is more wonderful than this.

At this moment, a sudden scream sounded outside the cabin!
