When the bookkeeper said the words "man of the underworld", the faces of the three of us changed greatly.

This kind of change is naturally seen by him. He said a little proudly: "Knowing that being scared is a good thing, after being afraid, you can pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and live a long life." If the sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, then it is not a big hero, it is a muddy person. If the limelight is too strong, sooner or later you will have to die at the hands of others. ”

Mr. Lu asked modestly: "Just now, you said that your master has a relationship with people in the underworld. Do you mean that he is a member of the underworld, or is he just related to the people of the underworld? ”

Mr. Bookkeeper sighed, as if he didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so bold. I still dare to ask questions. "Is there any difference between the two?" he said. Either way, you can't afford to mess with it. ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "If it's a person from the underworld, I'm afraid I don't bother to find these little ghosts to do short-term work, right?" So I guess it has something to do with it. ”

Then he began to talk to himself, saying, "It is related to having relatives and friends in the underworld. There is a grudge against the underworld, which can be regarded as related. Before reincarnation, reward the good and punish the evil. Maybe you can meet the people of the underworld, and if you say that, everyone has a relationship with the people of the underworld. I don't know if it's my relationship that is hard, or if it's your master's relationship? ”

When Xue Qian heard this, she laughed heartlessly. The courtyard was originally quiet, only Xue Qian's laughter drifted back and forth. It's weird. Obviously, Xue Qian also noticed this situation, he laughed twice, then closed his mouth and looked at Mr. Lu nervously.

And the bookkeeper's face became more and more ugly, he closed the account book, and said angrily: "Old way. You're looking for death. ”

I said to Mr. Lu with some concern: "We don't know what the other party is. In case they really have relatives and friends in the underworld, the three of us will die, so let's go back quickly. ”

As if he had just woken up, Mr. Lu said, "Yes, yes, let's go back quickly." ”

But by this time it was too late. The imps sealed the gate with torches, and did not give way in the slightest.

I felt that Mr. Lu seemed to be a little demented, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?" Why are you fenced us off? ”

The bookkeeper said lightly: "You three are a little rude. So I'm going to make you understand politeness. ”

Then I saw a little imp bring some coats. I groaned and said, "This is bad." After wearing this clothes on the body, it can be very fatal. ”

My fears finally came true, and the bookkeeper put our coats on us, and the three of us were turned into donkeys and driven into the mill.

During the whole process, Mr. Lu looked ignorant, as if he was a fledgling young man, who didn't understand anything, was not afraid of anything, and was curious about everything.

He didn't resist, I don't know if he felt that it was useless to resist, or if he had other plans.

The three of us were tethered to three mills. There were three imps with whips and beating behind us.

After Mr. Lu was beaten twice, he did not leave. Then he suddenly stood up and cried out with all his might. I saw the donkey's skin on him crack in an instant. He ripped off the pieces, threw them on the ground, stretched his waist, and said, "The little skill of carving insects almost scared me." ”

Then he called out, "Mr. Bookkeeper, come and calculate, how much is the work I just done worth?" ”

Mr. Lu was so powerful that when he tore the donkey's skin, the little imps who were supervising us ran out. Mr. Lu shouted twice in the mill, but no one came back.

He sat on the millstone and waited.

I was anxious and thought, "You're going to help me get back to my original state." ”

But I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it, so I could only look back and forth at Mr. Lu in a hurry, but Mr. Lu turned a blind eye, but looked at the two of us with a smile, as if he had seen the funniest thing in the world.

After a while, a flash of fire flashed at the door of the mill, and then a green-clothed maid came in with a lantern.

She looked at Mr. Lu, bowed, and said, "Presumably, you are the Taoist leader?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "I'm the Dao Master, what's wrong?" ”

The maid smiled and asked, "Which one is your apprentice?" ”

Mr. Lu pointed to me and Xue Qian: "One is my apprentice, and the other is my apprentice's friend." I don't know which one is which, but it looks pretty much the same when I become a donkey. ”

The maid came over with a smile and reached out and touched my ear. Then along the top of the head, all the way to the tail. Then, I felt my back loosen, as if something had fallen.

A hand grabbed me and said, "It's okay now." ”

That's when I realized that I had returned to my original state.

The maid walked up to Xue Qian with a lantern again, and took off his coat as she did it.

The maid placed her coat in the corner of the wall. Then he said to Mr. Lu: "My master is busy preparing for the old man's birthday. I don't have time to see you today. If you want to see my master, come back another day. ”

I thought to myself: Let's take it when we see each other.

So I said, "It's better to come back another day." ”

The maid smiled and said, "Are you leaving now?" Or do you want to go around here? ”

Mr. Lu asked, "You take us around?" ”

The maid nodded: "Of course." ”

Mr. Lu said: "Then we would love to visit here." ”

The maid carried the lantern and said, "Come with me." ”

I think this maid has always been polite, obviously not malicious. I can't help but feel relieved. It's good to follow the maid around, maybe we can know the details of the owner here.

The maid pointed to the door we walked in and said, "This door is the back door of the house." Coming in through this door, it's all day jobs, there's nothing to see here, the real fun is in front. ”

I thought to myself, "A back door is so gorgeously built, how exaggerated is the front door?" ”

Mr. Lu seemed to know what I was thinking, and he whispered in my ear: "It's just a trick, what are you surprised?" ”

I saw the toothless old man still lying on the ground, looking listless. It's just that the two ears are constantly wandering.

I asked, "Why did you put the imp like this?" Isn't it a little too cruel? ”

The maid said strangely: "Cruel? Cruelty there? It was the kindness of our master that allowed them to work here for a short time. ”

I thought to myself, "If you use people as mules and horses, you can also become kind." This girl looks pretty good, but her concept is a little distorted, and she is estimated to have grown up here since she was a child, and she was taught badly. ”

I asked, "Did these people come of their own free will?" ”

The maid smiled: "Of course I came voluntarily." Haven't you heard those four words, so that you are willing to do it? ”

Then I asked, "But why did they come to this place to suffer?" Is it for atonement or for what? ”――

The maid said, "I don't know what they are here for. Everyone has their own struggles. We never asked. If you want to know, just ask them. If they want to say it, they will sue you. ”

I thought to myself, "This girl can't get in the salt." I asked a few questions, and although she answered them all politely, I didn't get any useful information. ”

At this time, Mr. Lu asked the maid, "Who is your master?" ”

The maid said solemnly: "You have to ask my master in person." I don't dare to talk about his identity. ”

Mr. Lu made a joke, but the words in his mouth were a little terrifying: "If I arrest you and torture you, will you say it?" ”

The maid was not afraid, she smiled and said, "If you torture me, I probably won't be able to stand the pain, I'm afraid I'll say it." It's just that in this place, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch me. ”

The maid is very confident, and this kind of self-confidence alone is enough to make us dare not act rashly
