Chapter 4: Ghost World Bank

The dappled shadows of the trees on the boulevard hit my eyes through the windows of the car, which had been driving on the road for a long time. When is the end of the day......

I was bored looking out the window at the light and shadow, and I didn't feel a little tired. I never knew where this strange car was going, but along the way, I gradually forgot about my fear, and replaced it with a surprisingly safe place.

The soft leather cushion behind me made me feel lazy for a while, and in a drowsy state, the surroundings were distorted, and the whiteness of time slowly turned into thick ink. When I looked at it again, I was sitting on a gloomy wooden chair.

A gust of wind swept around him, and there was a rustle of shredded paper. I got up and looked around at everything around me. The small room was filled with chests with solid wood and gold trim.

The wooden window divides the room into two parts, and standing in the window, you can clearly see the closed mahogany door outside the window. It is good for people to avoid good fortune and evil. 'The generous penmanship of the silkworm head swallowtail of the official book is dripping, although I can't understand the meaning for a while, but this should be regarded as a masterpiece left by the owner here.

"Little girl, do you like the old man's words?" A kind and calm voice sounded behind me, and I turned my head when I heard it, and before I could answer politely, I was bluffed by the huge plaque on the high wall in front of me.

The plaque with the four characters of 'Ghost World Qianzhuang' written on it is painted with a thick dark green, making the red gold grass look majestic and shining.

I clasped my hands tightly together, trying to make me feel calmer in front of people. I was still in the car just now, everything now must be just my dream, it will never be that I have strayed into some Qimen Dunjia, and Lu Xuefeng, who is in the same car, will definitely not let myself strayed into such a place.

As for Lu Xuefeng's character, I always have an inexplicable trust in my heart, and I always feel that he will never harm himself.

"Little girl, the old man has lived for a thousand years, if you are afraid, you can show it, you don't have to pretend to suppress it." The old man in front of him waved his hand without seeing it, and sat on the Taishi chair where I was sitting just now, and his words revealed an irreversible momentum, so that I stood aside, and did not dare to say more.

When the old man saw that I didn't speak, he was also respectful and silent. Time passed, slowly I returned to nature from the frightened, carefully raised my eyelashes and quietly looked at him, looking at his eyes seemed to be looking at me, and seemed to penetrate my ** to look deeper in my heart, that kind of gaze was full of memories of the past, and there was a taste of seriousness.

According to what the old man said, he has lived for a thousand years, and it should have been during the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, and there was no such thing as a money village at that time, right? Looking at the old man's clothes, it seems to be the taste of the Ming Dynasty, the blue and black coat, the solid wood cane and the gold-wire glasses hanging on the placket, there are these imported goods, probably in that era, they must have been either rich or expensive.

"The juniors are not talented, which makes the seniors laugh." With a respectful attitude towards my elders, I bowed slightly and bowed to him in accordance with the ancient etiquette. He must be the master of this place if he is so swaggering and chatting with me, so if I want to get out of here, I must satisfy him, right?

Listening to the crutch in his hand hitting the ground so crisply, he was already stroking his beard and said meaningfully: "Miss Yang has lifted the old man, maybe you have more insights than the old man in some aspects." ”

Between the words, there is a kind of inquiry and blame. I hurriedly raised my head and said humbly: "The predecessor is too famous, where can I be a female streamer." "If it were the real world, I would definitely only think he was teasing me, but after all, what I was looking at was an old zombie, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple, maybe I had offended him inadvertently.

'It's offended, why do I want to do so much?' ’

After thinking about it, I hurriedly avoided all correct and polite practices, and fiddled with my hands indiscriminately, trying to get the old man to catch something wrong quickly, so that he could have a direct showdown.

"Huh? Alas...... Anyway, the old man can't help but break his mouth when he gets older, Miss Yang can come with me. The old man seemed to see my intentions, and didn't immediately care about my faux pas, but just retracted the old ** in his eyes lonely, and got up and walked towards the side hall of the side door.

Looking at his back, I followed without thinking. But even if I followed, I still honestly obeyed the etiquette and kept a distance of three steps from him.

Several yellowed paintings in the cloister caught my eye, including the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" that I had just passed by. This painting is a lot of fakes in the real world, but I don't know if this one is real or fake.

"As you can see, this is the Ghost Bank, do you know where the Ghost Bank Master came from?" The calm voice came slowly from the front, like the taste of the teacher asking the student in ancient times, this old man must have been a respected patriarch in the past.

"There are banks in the human world because people have a demand for the management of property, and the same is true in the ghost world, and the younger generation thinks that it is bound to be because of this." If there is a demand, there is a supply, this is an eternal existence. I pondered with a straight face, and boldly said my thoughts, only to see that the old man couldn't help but pause for a moment when he heard the steps under his feet, and then continued to walk forward.

I don't know if my answer is right or not, but his eyes gradually brightened, and an empty room was divided into several layers with transparent glass, and it was full of white papers.

"It is worthy of being the chosen child, after all, the old man has a vision. Girl, this ghost bank has been in operation for thousands of years, but now it has encountered a disaster that wants to uproot it. "I don't know when the old man has flashed up to the higher floor and looked down at me, and as soon as he spoke, I had a sense of déjà vu. Could it really be like in the storybook, this old man is going to give me a mission to save the world?

It can't be that coincidental, right?

I looked up and suddenly felt that it was a bit rude for me to do this, so I quickly lowered my head and replied timidly: "The juniors don't understand what the seniors mean, and I hope the seniors will make ......it clear."

"Alas...... Where to start? It's too long to start over. Let's just say that, the old man is the palm print of this ghost bank, Lu Chongguang. You can call me Uncle Lu. I don't know if my approach made him feel more and more comfortable, and he actually changed his calm face and laughed like an old naughty boy.

I couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed my head and smiled: "Yes......"

"What this ghost bank does is the same as that of a human bank, and the coins are also made by the relevant money supervisors. As you can imagine, there is a demand for it, and there are counterfeit coins. ”

Counterfeit coins? Could it be that this is the reason for my continuous adventures in the past two days? But there are tens of thousands of coins in the world, and it's not an exaggeration to say a little fake.

"There are thousands of dark coins printed in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are fake coins. Therefore, there is also a certain probability of the exchange of the ghost world for the underworld currency. To be honest, most of the fake coins come from the human world, and the ghost world cannot interfere, but the important thing is this exchange rate. Lu Chongguang's unhurried finally made me think he was on the point. This key cleared up my previous doubts and instantly understood why he had summoned me to the bank.

When it comes to money management, everyone thinks of solving it with the banker's first thought. It's just that the matter of the ghost world bank has found me as a small person in the world bank, if it spreads, wouldn't the ghost world want to laugh at me for not having a scale?

Besides, I don't understand these things, so it's best to shirk early so that he can let me go back to the human world.

"I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the junior to take on such a heavy responsibility, and Uncle Lu is only afraid that I will ......" Before I could finish speaking, a silk scroll floated down the tall building and fell into my hand.

The title was obscured by the imaginary scroll, but my name on the written paper came directly into my eyes.

'If there is a call in the underworld, the concubine Yang Ying'er must be obliged...... 'Concubine body...... Yang Ying'er......!?

Wait, did I miss any important plot, when did I start calling myself a concubine, I'm only twenty-two years old now, and I'm still unmarried.

This must be a horse with a hoof, and a man with the same name!

"This is a ghost world contract, the old man didn't find the wrong person......" Lu Chongguang's voice completely shattered my guess, I grabbed the scroll in my hand fiercely, I couldn't tell what the psychology was like, in short, it was very uncomfortable.

I have always felt that the destiny of heaven has nothing to do with me, I am just a drop in the ocean, and I don't need the protection or abandonment of the gods, but why did my fate be completely put into a contract in Lu Chongguang's mouth.

My eyes couldn't help but be a little hot, I took a long breath, and complained with some sighs: "Can Uncle Lu explain to me the origin of this paper contract?" ”

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, the old man has made an exception to let you peek into the corner of this contract, and now is the time for the implementation of this paper contract, you must listen to the old man to uncover the mystery of the flood of fake coins in the ghost bank, and when it is successful, it will be the day of your liberation."

The scroll clenched in my hand disappeared in my hand in an instant, and when I looked up again, Lu Chongguang's face turned hideous, and the serious and disobedient voice buzzed and vibrated in my ears, shaking my ears painfully. I was so frightened that I crouched down and covered my ears, and the paper flew all over the ground in front of me, and I didn't know whether to scream or scream.

Gradually, Sogo's figure on the high platform and his gray hair swirled and disappeared together, and the dark paper of the whole building seemed to be more out of control, pouring down on me densely. Just as I was about to get up and run to the cloister, a voice in the air rang out nervously and rapidly.

"Ying'er...... Wake up! Ying'er! ”

In a trance, the dark paper behind him seemed to slow down, and then melted into the surrounding wall, and there was another distortion of the environment, and the gray background was once again distorted into a piece of inky black. A gray shadow appeared in front of me, and I didn't care about grasping the void, and a frowning face appeared in front of my eyes, and I was holding his hand tightly.

It's Lu Xuefeng......

"Are you alright?" When he woke up, he looked like he had unloaded all his burdens, and his face was much lighter. The gentle words were so close to me that even the rapid breathing was clearly discernible when they were so close that they could be clearly distinguished.

I looked at his face so close, and I was speechless for a moment, and quickly turned my face away. He also seemed to react, let go of his hand in a hurry, and retreated out of the car door in a few steps.

I saw him distance himself from me, cautiously stepped out of the car door, and walked over to him. Looking in the direction of the bright fire, in the dark green garden, several floor lamps illuminated the familiar snow-white building. Is that where you want to be today?

"Here, this is the Lu family's ......" Lu Xuefeng on the side raised his head and looked at the building with a frown, cleared his throat, and a gentle and clear voice sounded in my ears and interrupted my thinking.

This is the Lu family, the Lu family?

muttered cautiously in his mouth, these two words, I didn't feel a little strange and timid in my heart, the things in the dream just now can't be said nonsense for the time being, as for the contract and the question of the building in front of me, I can only take one step at a time.
