Chapter 38: The Netherworld
As I spoke, the old man led me to a place called "Nether Money." Then he said to me, "Wait for me, young man, I'll have to go and get my money!" After withdrawing the money, we can go to Nai He Bridge to report! I nodded to the old man and said, "Go ahead!" Go and go back. ”
The old man looked at me, then turned and walked into the bank. Looking at the ghosts floating back and forth, I felt that the underworld and life are the same, but why are so many people afraid of death?
Just as I was about to get hooked, someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder from behind and asked, "Big brother, are you coming to withdraw money too?" I looked back, and it turned out to be a ten-year-old girl, only to see her with black hair and big watery eyes, staring at me.
I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful woman here, so I hurriedly straightened my clothes and said, "Oh! I'm waiting for an assistant! He's going through the procedures for withdrawing money, are you here to withdraw money too? ”
The girl looked at the door of the bank and said, "Yes! But they said my family forgot to burn me money! I guess I'll have to wait a day or two to arrive. I gently patted her head with my hand and comforted, "It's okay! Why don't you wait for my assistant to arrive! I'll ask him to give you some first, and you can find a place to live tonight, and then you can pay him back when your family burns money for you! ”
The girl looked at me with wet eyes for a long time, and then whispered, "Thank you, big brother!" Why don't you wait for me to withdraw the money, and let's report together, what do you think? I wanted to say yes, but after looking at the ghosts who were hurrying back and forth, and thinking about Brother Yang and the big head still hadn't landed, I hurriedly prevaricated: "This is not very good, right?" Or else! I'll go to Nai He Bridge first, and when you come, we'll report to Hades. ”
The little girl shook her head and said, "Okay! You must wait for me! I nodded at her, then asked, "How did you get here?" The little girl looked around, and then cried out loud, looking at her pitiful appearance, and then I felt an incomparable pain in my heart, but out of helplessness, I had to say again and again: "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, I don't mean to. ”
At this time, the little girl looked up at me, then rubbed her eyes and said, "It's okay, it's all here anyway!" Tell you that there is no visit. I nodded slightly, then turned around and sat down in a quiet place! The little girl sat down beside me, and then said:
"My family is Guanzhong, because I have leukemia, I came here, in fact, life and death are not important to me, anyway, there will be such a life and death in life, but unfortunately I can't predict that I will die so young."
After saying that, I cried bitterly, I looked at her red little face, and comforted: "Since you have seen through life and death, then why are you so sad? The little girl raised her head and said shyly: "I just feel sorry for myself, I died before I had a relationship!" ”
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it, and the little girl looked at me and asked, "What are you laughing at?" That's normal! I nodded lightly and said, "It's okay, it turns out that you're sad for this?" The little girl squeaked for a long time before she said, "Yes! So how did you die? ”
At this time, only a familiar voice was heard: "Young man, come here!" I looked up and saw that it was the old man, walking towards me with a smile on his face! I hurriedly got up, and then said to the girl, "Wait for me for a while, I'll go and see what this old man tells me to do?" ”
Without waiting for the little girl to speak, I ran to the old man, then pulled him aside and asked, "How is it going?" Did you get the money? The old man shook his head and said, "Not yet, I won't get the money until the day after tomorrow, and handed me a wooden sign as he spoke. So I'll come out and tell you about it, and then I'll see how to find a place to stay first! ”
"Stay? So what about my friend? If you miss it with them! I'll never see them again? When the old man heard what I had said, he was embarrassed and said, "I'm in a hurry, too!" But what's the solution? But don't worry, your friend is dead! They won't find the bridge so quickly, unless their longevity is over, they will be the same as us, or it will be later. ”
After listening to the old man, I put my heart down and asked, "Then now that we have no money, where can we live?" It's not like there's nowhere to go? The old man shook his head and said, "You can owe money in the underworld, or you can use your things to pawn." ”
"Pawn? Do you see anything on me that can be pawned? "The old man looked at me! Then he stared at my backpack and asked, "Where are you?" Listening to the old man's question, I just noticed the backpack on my body. So he hurriedly explained: "What do you say? It's my magic weapon, and it's also a guy who eats. ”
After saying that, he put down his backpack and hurriedly checked the contents of the backpack.
At this moment, the Xingyue Knife suddenly flew out of the backpack! Rushed straight into the air, emitting golden lights, and then the golden phoenix also flew out!
The old man's eyes kept chasing the golden phoenix and said, "Good guy, what is this?" This is a relic, don't you ......?"
I looked at him! Then asked, "What's wrong with me?" Don't you babble, just say what you have to say? The old man looked me up and down and asked, "You can't be upside down, are you?" ”
"Inverted bucket? You don't have a fever in your head, do you? Do you think I look like an upside-downer? "The old man ignored my question! He snatched my backpack and fell to the ground and said, "You don't have the tools to fight backwards, but where did you get these things?" ”
I looked at the old man and explained, "It wasn't stolen anyway, it was given to me by someone else." The old man looked up at me and said, "Nonsense, who is so generous that he can give you such a valuable thing?" Do you know where these things come from? ”
I shook my head, but just looked at the old man and thought, could it be that I have met my peers? But he didn't look like it, so he asked, "Do you know where this thing came from?" ”
The old man nodded and said: "The phoenix belongs to the king of birds, ordinary people are not allowed to have it, you look at this golden phoenix, it has become a spirit, so it must be a funeral object in the emperor's mausoleum, you said you are not upside down, so where did this thing come from?" ”
I looked at him! Then he said: "Actually, I am in the antique business, and this time I was killed for money, they robbed me of my things, and killed my companions, so! ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Impossible, your knife is not ordinary at first glance, can you let me see it?" I reached out and grabbed the Xingyue Knife, then handed it to the old man and said, "Look! Anyway, it's very common, and it's not something unsightly. ”
The old man took the Xingyue knife and said in amazement: "These two things are extraordinary, this knife is owned by Taoism, why did it appear on you at the same time as the golden phoenix?" ”
I snatched back the Xingyue Knife and asked the old man, "Are you okay?" I said that I was only in the antique business, and it was very common to receive these things! I look at you! It's like an inverted bucket? The old man hurriedly explained, "I'm just an archaeologist, so these things are of interest to me, can you let me take a good look at them?" ”
