Section 7 The Voice Behind the Scenes
Me, I'm going to go on my own?
Big brother, is there such a trick, you should be an ordinary food delivery, that is the legendary underworld, I am a living person, a pink and tender sprout, and you are not afraid that I will be eaten by ghosts?
At this moment, I'm really going crazy, I'm going to refuse immediately, what are you kidding, 100% will die, although I have seen Lao Liu and Deye two harmless ghosts in the past two days, but I am not naΓ―ve to the point of ignorance, I am sure that if I go down alone, there will be no return.
"This is also a matter of no choice, the following is set at the hour, this cannot be changed, but I have to do things here, in this way, I will inform Lao Liu later, he will tell you something, you remember to bring the backpack in the red cabinet in the bedroom." And you remember, when you get down, you must be diligent in your mouth, ask Lao Liu more in case of trouble, patience in everything, and ......"
"Let's go!"
Master De suddenly interrupted Li Yuansheng, who was commanding in an eager tone, his face was full of anxiety, more solemn, and even, I saw a trace of fear.
Li Yuansheng paused, there was a look of struggle in his eyes, and the next moment, he suddenly sighed and patted me on the shoulder.
"Take care!"
After speaking, he got up and walked out of the room with Deye.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that I realized that I trotted all the way to the door, looking down the hallway to see where the two of them were.
What's going on?
The whole afternoon, I spent the whole afternoon in apprehension and anxiety, the fear that De Ye inadvertently showed proved that what they were going to do was very dangerous, but they didn't say it, I didn't have the slightest way, I thought about worrying in vain, even De Ye was like that, what can I, a person who has not yet started, help?
Speaking of which, we haven't been together for a long time, and our understanding is only superficial, and the relationship may not be very good, but I am really worried about them.
After thinking about it, I still decided to do a good job tonight first, the world below is full of unknowns for me, maybe my life will be in it, what else can I do to manage others?
With everything in mind, I went to the bedroom and opened the red wardrobe, and at a glance I saw a blue backpack, I took it out, but I didn't expect it to be quite heavy, and took it to the living room coffee table and unzipped it, and when I saw the contents clearly, a pair of eyes widened suddenly, and at the same time gasped.
In the middle of the night, I walked briskly in the cave, it was pitch black, because I had walked a few times, and it was somewhat familiar, but it was the first time I came down alone, and I was a little panicked.
It's almost time, my hand was raised, and I touched the top of the cave slightly, because I was afraid that I had walked over, because in front of the destination, the hole was not closed, what was on the other end, Li Yuansheng didn't say, and I wouldn't have any extra curiosity.
At one point, my hand suddenly felt empty, and my footsteps stopped.
Li Yuansheng said that unless you use the lunar candle in this cave, that is, the blue candle, nothing else can expel the darkness. At the same time, the lunar candle is also a way to contact Lao Liu, and it is a necessary item for me to walk below.
Remembering that the first time I looked at the Yin Moon Candle a few times, I would faint, Li Yuansheng's explanation was that the Yin Moon Candle was for the delivery people of the underworld, and if you could look at it without fainting, it would prove that you have the qualifications to walk in the underworld.
Click.
I took out a lighter and lit the lunar candle, the candle light was dim, and the strange thing was that the lunar candle burned yin qi, so there would be no loss of the candle body.
It didn't take long for Lao Liu's bald head with a black mole to emerge from the ground, and when he saw me, he grinned and said, "Come on, yes, I thought you didn't have the courage to come." β
"Didn't you underestimate me?"
I said helplessly, but I found that Lao Liu's tired color was even stronger, and even this head was faintly transparent, sure enough, the last time it was too much of a loss to him, and these few times are enough for people to bear.
I was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'll be the one to go after this time, and you can rest." β
"Well, I hope so." Lao Liu's eyes flashed with worry, and then he sighed, "Don't say so much, you don't have a Yin Yang Shadow Box, and you can't open the door to the underworld, so I brought this this this time." β
As he spoke, Lao Liu's mouth moved for a while, and he spit out an object with a pop, and I looked at it, but it was a black irregular stone, maybe it was not a stone, I definitely couldn't see it. Thinking that Lao Liu wouldn't let me take it, in the end he spit it out, and I was always a little psychologically uncomfortable.
saw that Lao Liu just blew on this unknown object, and then there were words in his mouth, and he spoke very quickly, and he couldn't understand it at all.
In a moment, a gray vortex suddenly appeared in the air in front of me, growing from small to large, and soon more than half a man tall.
"Quick, get in."
Lao Liu's tone was very weak, I was stunned for a moment, looked at the ground, the unknown object had disappeared, Lao Liu's head became more and more transparent, I understood something, bent over and stepped into the whirlpool.
At this cross, I felt a strong wind blowing in my ears, and my body seemed to be pulled by something, which was very uncomfortable, but this only lasted for a few seconds, and the gray fog in front of me quickly dissipated, revealing another scene of heaven and earth.
The sky here is gray clouds tumbling and overlapping, and the sun and moon are not visible. In front of him was an endless abyss, a suspension bridge paved with wooden planks suspended above the abyss, stretching into the white mist in the distance.
It turned out that this is what the underworld looks like, I looked at it in amazement, this place gives people an inexplicable sense of depression, the sense of cold is a little more than in the cave, I only stood for a while, and I felt uncomfortable.
"Isn't it comfortable? Remember not to extinguish the lunar candle, otherwise you will be attacked by the yin qi and die with a whimper. β
"Let's hurry up, don't miss the hour."
Lao Liu hurriedly commanded, I turned my head, only to find that he had floated into the air, at eye level with me, at this time he looked very weak, trembling for a while, I was uneasy, apologetically said: "I'm sorry, you're okay." β
"Don't be verbose, let's go."
Lao Liu urged, took the lead in leading the way, and I hurriedly followed and walked into the suspension bridge.
"You can bring everything that Xiao Li told you to bring."
"Well, with it."
"That's good, although there are still risks, but maybe we are lucky."
Well? I listened to it and suddenly became uneasy, and asked, "What's at stake?" β
"So far, it doesn't hurt to tell you, do you know what kind of bridge we're taking?"
"This is called the Eight Directions Yin Road, and this bridge has countless branches, leading to all parts of the underworld, even unknown heaven and earth. Under the bottomless abyss under the bridge, there is a road for ghosts to go to various places to reincarnate yamen, and there are many dangerous passes on the road, with complex twists and turns, and we can take the convenient road. This is also the first time you have come down, because to register for employment, it must be signed by Lord Tsunashi himself. β
"Lord Du Chenghuang is equivalent to the current provincial governor level in your world, and it stands to reason that your Yin and Yang correspondent level is not necessary to be issued by Lord Du Chenghuang, but an incident happened a few years ago, I heard that a correspondent sent something that should not be sent and was discovered, so now the supervision level has been strengthened."
In this way, every time a new correspondent joins the company, he must pass through this eight-sided yin road to reach the capital city god yamen. But there are often big people walking on the Yin Road in the eight directions, some of them have strange tempers, they will make fun of some low-level poor soldiers, and even beat and disable, if Li Yuansheng is here, there is the identity of Yin and Yang correspondents to protect you, how much is it safe, now there are only you and me, especially if you are a living person who has not been hired, even if you are killed, there is nowhere to reason, this is not easy to say. β
"But don't worry, you don't usually run into it, it's not so bad luck."
I frowned when I heard this, and wondered, "Then no one cares?" β
"You are joking, but anyone who dares to bully people is an extraordinary person, and for them, the poor status of the soldiers is low, even if they are killed, it is nothing. is also the yin and yang correspondents, with special identities, and someone covers them, so they are more stable. β
I sighed, it turns out that this underworld, like the human world, also has things that pickle and dark.
It's right to think about it, can those high-ranking immortals cut off the seven emotions and six desires? If it is never broken, there will be strife and injustice.
Thinking of this, I also have some emotions towards Li Yuansheng, he is really not afraid that something will happen to me, but after thinking about it, he must be not ordinary like that, and I shouldn't be so guilty.
"You mean we'll be done if we meet?"
"I hope it's okay, maybe I'm too careful."
Lao Liu laughed at himself, then said no more, and the two hurried silently.
In addition to not seeing the light of day, the environment of the underworld is the bone-chilling cold, I feel that I have adapted to the cold in the cave, but now I have begun to chill all over my body, and the military coat on my body is simply useless.
A short time later, we came to a stone monument.
It is very strange that there is a gray stone tablet on this suspension bridge, erected on the side, and there are several white official characters engraved on it: Shanxi Yamen.
Lao Liu obviously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this stele, and said with a smile: "We are lucky, entering from this stele is the destination." β
When he said this, I was relieved to be worried all the way.
To be honest, I suddenly felt that this was similar to the highway, and this stone monument was the exit ramp, but the underworld was definitely not that simple.
"This, how to get in? You won't just hit it, will you? β
Lao Liu gave me a roll of his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily: "Of course not, wait." β
As we spoke, we were about to mutter, when suddenly a voice came from behind us.
"The first two, where are you going?"
