Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Night Road Is Long, and the Ghost Greets Relatives
When I think of this, I have a feeling of coolness.
The underworld is simply a place where there is no royal law and ruthless killing.
The one-meter-nine-meter-tall ghost on the boat jumped into the river and dismantled the guy it called a water ghost. And before that, the water ghost ate the boatman who crossed the river again.
And just now, the death penalty ghost who was shot blatantly robbed and kicked me into the pit without any worries.
Sister, since I got off the ghost bus, I have seen several killings with my own eyes and in person in less than an hour.
I'm depressed, when I now know that the underworld is not easy to mix, my ghost-beating talismans ......
Forget it, let's brace ourselves and face the underworld life in the next two days. Now the things are gone, the food, water, compass, and ghost fighting charms are gone.
I scratched my hair in frustration......
I was buried in a pit with dirt from head to toe, and I'm an earth monkey now. I'll have to find a place to shower, or I'll die." I want to get up a few hundred meters behind the Ghost Swallowing River, and when I pack up the ingots, I'll go back and take a shower.
I looked at the blue bag above my head, and who knew if the ghost of the condemned prisoner had buried a child somewhere nearby.
I don't know, and I don't have the energy to find it.
I walked over with the wooden box and reached out to remove the bag that was swaying in the wind. Buried for two hundred years, the wooden box that had been soaked in river water for nearly a hundred years has long since decayed. With a slight push, I made a hole in the rotten wooden box.
The gold was shining and white, and the real gold and silver were two hundred taels and twenty pounds of gold and silver, all presented in front of my eyes.
The two hundred-year-old ones told me to dig up the chest, and when they saw the light of day, all the gold and silver belonged to me.
Looking at the round treasure in front of me, I felt a little better. If the world of the underworld could be bought with gold and silver, I would at least survive being robbed of food and water.
I took the ingots out of the wooden box one by one. Wipe the surface of the floating soil with your hands, open the blue bag and put them in one by one.
Twenty catties of ingots, twenty ingots, I put them separately in the schoolbag according to the gold and silver colors. Zipping up, my bag back, I returned to the Ghost Swallowing River, which I had just crossed a few hundred meters away.
I stripped off my clothes and stood naked on the shore, shaking them vigorously. My change of clothes was in my backpack, and they were all snatched by the death penalty ghost. I can't do my laundry here, or it will be time for me to go back when they dry.
I shook my clothes and trousers violently to clean as much of the dirt as I could, and my shoes in turn slammed hard against the stones on the shore, knocking out the slag and stones that were hidden on the tips of my feet.
Clean them up, and I stood knee-high by the river. The water of the Ghost Swallowing River on a summer night was cold, but I could endure it. I scooped up some water with my hands and wiped my hair, face and body clean.
After taking a shower, I put on my clothes, patted my wet hair with my hands, and continued to walk with my school bag. I went back to the woods where I had been robbed, and walked along the path to the other side of the woods.
When I walked out of the woods, I found that the layer of white fog that had been floating far away around me had dissipated without a trace after walking out of the woods.
This is the underworld, and I can't use my phone without a signal, but I brought it with me. At least it could be used as a flashlight, but unfortunately, I tucked it into the left pocket of my backpack and was snatched by the death penalty ghost.
I can't look at the time now, I can only guess. If the time here is exactly the same as the sun, it is estimated to be around twelve o'clock in the night.
Twelve o'clock in the morning in the sun is the time when lonely souls and wild ghosts wander and haunt. I don't know if these ghosts in the underworld need to sleep at night. If they don't eat, drink, or sleep, maybe if they go any further, I'll meet other ghosts.
was severely pitted by the ghost of the condemned prisoner, and I grew wise by eating a trench. In the future, when I come into contact with the ghosts of the underworld, I can't be an idiot anymore.
I left the woods, and the road ahead was getting smoother. I was carrying twenty catties of ingots. "Bang dang bang" strides forward.
"Whoa...... Whoa......"
As I walked, suddenly there was a group of people in front of me a hundred meters, no, they were ghosts!
The ghosts carried canvases in their hands and large flags on their shoulders. Waddled in my direction.
This is the underworld, and there is no need to guess, they are all ghosts.
I'm curious to not sleep at home in the middle of the night. A bunch of dead ghosts are wandering the road. Although I thought so, I finally saw ghosts, and there were a lot of ghosts.
I should go along and find a chance to talk to one and ask them if anyone knows anything about Ghost City.
When I came, I was carrying a bulging backpack, and so many things pressed on my back made me walk very slowly. Now that my backpack is gone, and I carry twenty pounds of gold and silver treasure on my back, my speed has increased.
There were about two dozen ghosts in the front of us. The two pairs of four ghosts at the front were blowing suona, and the few at the back of the team were carrying flags and holding canvases. And among them, there were four other ghosts carrying a petite made of red cloth on their shoulders.
I suddenly understood, this is a ghost kiss!
My day, just a week ago, I would never have imagined that I, a small white-collar worker in a second-tier city who was too ordinary to be ordinary, would come to the underworld because of my cousin's affairs and saw with my own eyes the "ghost welcome" that even the emperor of the world did not have the opportunity to see.
I reached out to touch my back, wanting to take out my phone and take a picture of this shocking scene, and go back to the yang world to brag in front of Lao Wu. When my hand touched the small blue schoolbag on my back, I remembered that my phone was gone......
Damn, I scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the death row prisoners and ghosts eighteen times, and quickly chased after the team of relatives and ghosts a hundred meters away.
I walked fast, getting closer and closer to their ranks. In the blink of an eye, the ghost at the end of the line was less than ten meters away from me.
I'm also a half-yin, half-life, half-ghost existence now, even if I'm close to them, I won't affect them because of the breath of a living person.
I wondered, even if you get married, there should be a sound for blowing. However, don't look at the excitement of the four ghosts in front of them, but they didn't make a sound in their suona.
This group of ghosts walked strangely quietly on the path of the underworld in the early morning, quietly without making a sound.
"I'm going to go, it's too disrespectful." I followed the skinny bald man at the end of the line, talking to myself.
"Hey, that ghost, who are you? We are a team of marriages, so stay away if you have nothing to do! ”
Suddenly, the bald imp in front of me spotted me. It turned its neck one hundred and eighty degrees and stared at me with two gray eyes.
"Who are you, that ghost?"
I heard it use that word when it first called me. Hey, since the ghosts in the underworld treat me as a ghost, that means that Granny Zhong has drained fifty percent of my soul, and she is quite successful.
"Ah, what. Hello...... "My purpose is clear, that is, to lower my status and get along with all the ghosts I encounter, only in this way can I ask them what I want to know."
"I just died yesterday, and I crossed the river on a ghost bus. I came through the woods over there and happened to see you greeting your relatives, I am a new ghost, I am not familiar with the place and want to ask you for directions, you see ......"
I looked at the gray bald ghost in front of me with harmless eyes.
Its body followed the group in front of it, but its head kept turning backwards at 180 degrees to stare at me.
It looked me from head to toe and I felt its gaze go over my shoulder and on my back. Damn, it's not like you're just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den. This guy is staring at my back, could it be that he is a money-hungry demon again?
Just when I was worried, it suddenly said, "New here? Okay, my family is getting married tonight, and you can sit together. But ......"
It said, its eyes still staring at my back: "Although you are new here, as a guest, you will have to show it when you get home." Are you carrying an offering from your family? When I get to my house later, it's a thought to take out some of it. ”
......After saying that, the bone knots of the bald imp's neck made a sound, and its head turned back one hundred and eighty degrees.
"Oh, good. I understand! I nodded in surprise.
The bald ghost also reasoned, it thought I was a newly dead ghost, and I wanted to ask for help, but it didn't refuse, and invited me to the wedding banquet at home.
Don't you have to say anything about any of the guests when they come, I don't have to say anything about it. However, it made it difficult for me. All my belongings have been snatched by the demons, and I have only twenty ingots of gold and silver ingots behind me.
Is it possible, in order to ask for a way, I will take out a gold and silver ingot at the ghost wedding banquet?
Pingshui meets, isn't this gift too heavy......
