Chapter 136: A Trip to the Underworld

Xu Beibei finally chose to pass through from above after transformation, because it would take too much time to turn back.

Walking along the avenue, not long after, Xu Beibei stepped out of the hole, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

There was not a single starlight in the dark sky, and in the distance there was a large area of houses of various heights, but they were empty and uninhabited. There is a faint ghostly aura in the air here, and from time to time you can hear a few ghost crying wolf howls from afar, and there is an eerie and terrifying feeling everywhere.

Compared with the boring "tunnel" before, it is much more lively here, and you can see ghosts passing by from time to time, and I finally have a bit of a ghostly atmosphere.

Xu Beibei walked forward dozens of meters with his hands behind his back, and heard the sound of gurgling water on the right, which was a river, called Lethe River.

The place where the task was handed over was in an official residence five hundred meters along the Lechuan River.

Xu Beibei heard some old ghosts say that there was originally only one way to the underworld in the world, that is, through the ghost city of Fengdu, open the ghost gate, cross the Santu River planted with flowers on the other side, and then pass through Huangquan Road to reach the underworld.

Later, it is rumored that it was because a monkey made trouble in the underworld, which caused the destruction of the assignment office and had to be relocated. In order to make it easier for the ghosts to hand over tasks, the emperor opened up this new road. The name of the monkey was passed down from mouth to mouth in the underworld, like thunder, and the name was called: Monkey Sailei.

Whether the legend exists is impossible to investigate, because of the official refutation of rumors by the prefecture, the general ghost will take it as a story.

However, the opening of this new tunnel did save a lot of time for the ghosts.

When he walked more than 100 meters along the river, there was a sudden hustle and bustle ahead, and Xu Beibei looked up and saw that he had arrived at the Nai He Bridge.

A quaint little bridge, spanning the Lethe River, connects the two ends, and ghosts pass by one after another, but these noises do not come from them, but from some ghost dealers at the bridgehead.

From a long distance, Xu Beibei could hear them shouting.

"The latest oil pot produces crispy bones, crunchy, no brittle, no money, don't miss it when you pass by!" The ghost who shouted this didn't know what he had experienced before he died, there was no meat below the chest, it was all bones. It shouted and removed a bone from its body, which really brought its own advantages to the extreme.

This guy has the most ghosts in front of his stall, and many customers directly take a few bones from him and bargain.

At most, the merchants in the world lose money and make money, but this one is even accompanied by his body, a real hard work!

In addition to some stalls such as "buy large intestine and get small intestine!" and "the latest peeing cow pill eyeball, a lot of water to feed in one bite", there are also many stalls of foreign devils in the middle.

For example, Xu Beibei heard a woman keep shouting "tooth selling butterflies", which is a stall selling pets, this kind of butterfly called "tooth selling", about the size of a fingernail, colorful, and easy to tame, is very popular in the underworld.

In short, it's too lively.

However, this atmosphere came to an abrupt end after Xu Beibei approached.

"What the hell!"

I don't know which guy shouted, and the small traders and vendors suddenly scattered, leaving a lot of intestines and bones in the ground.

“......”

Xu Beibei covered her forehead, every time she came, she was so tired. These guys don't know how to go to the ghost market to get a stall, they always make a mess of it.

"Oh, why did you run away?" suddenly a nice voice came from behind him.

Xu Beibei looked back, and it turned out that there was still one who hadn't left.

It was a plump young woman in her early thirties, with heavy makeup and an awl face, and at first glance, I thought she was a snake spirit.

She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, with high slits on both sides, revealing white thighs, and her hair coiled up high, which was quite a bit of an old society bustard.

When Xu Beibei looked over, the young woman was sprinkling spices in a large vat, there was a fire under the vat, and the water in the vat was boiling, but it was not as foggy as in the world, I saw the water kept rolling, but there was no steam, which was very weird.

Xu Beibei was surprised by this scene, she also knew this woman.

She is the only store that has been approved by the prefectural government to sell things by the bridge. The ghosts all call her: Sister Meng.

Sister Meng also saw Xu Beibei's outfit clearly at this time, and with a sigh, a pair of Danfeng eyes were smiling, very charming.

"What a cute little ghost!" Sister Meng exclaimed, ran over and touched it: "Tell my sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Xu Beibei, Sister Meng, are you drinking soup again......" Xu Beibei rolled her eyes speechlessly, this Sister Meng is okay with everything else, but she is too responsible, and she often tries it herself when she boils the soup......

Her motto is: a chef who doesn't steal food is not a good driver.

The soup that Sister Meng boiled was for the reincarnated ghosts, and the soup had the magical effect of forgetting the past.

So every time Sister Meng tastes it, her memory will be broken, which is how many times Xu Beibei has introduced herself......

It's just that I don't know, after drinking the soup, how did she remember the ingredients of the soup, Xu Beibei was puzzled.

"Oh, soup, you wait!" Sister Meng suddenly remembered something, quickly ran back to the tank, scooped a bowl, and ran back happily, handing it to Xu Beibei: "Come, drink it while it's hot." ”

Xu Beibei: "......"

"You're welcome!" Sister Meng was still a little unhappy.

Xu Beibei twitched the corners of her mouth and didn't know how to explain, when a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Sister Meng, don't be joking!"

The two turned to look in surprise, but they saw a man striding towards him, this person was about forty or fifty years old, Tege was particularly strong, his head was shiny, and his face was full of meat. This kind of appearance, but as soon as you look at it, it can give people a strong sense of oppression.

"Ninth Master!" Xu Beibei hurriedly greeted. This is the ghost of Jiangcheng Xu Beibei, the ninth master. Xu Beibei had met a few times when he was on it, and it was the first time he met in a place, which was quite unexpected.

Jiu Ye walked up to him, greeted Xu Beibei with a smile: "Hey, Beibei, what a coincidence, are you here to hand in the task?" That tone, that tone, if it weren't for that face, I believe it would be much kinder.

Xu Beibei nodded and confirmed the other party's statement, and then asked, "Ninth Master, are you here?"

"It's almost the New Year, and the emperor is going to post the accounts soon, Yan Jun ordered us to have a meeting first, and then make the accounts......" The ninth master sighed, every year is full of suffering, who can know how bitter these little leaders are.

In fact, he shouldn't have said these words to Xu Beibei, after all, some secrets were involved, but Xu Beibei was an exception.

After the greetings, the ninth master said to Sister Meng with a straight face: "Sister Meng, you can't drink this soup indiscriminately, something will happen." ”

"Hey, my soup is not poisonous, why can't I drink it?" Sister Meng rolled her eyes, full of charm.

Jiu Ye said with a straight face: "Something happened, you can't afford it!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Sister Meng to say anything, and quickly whispered in her ear: "She is Xu Beibei." ”

"Xu Beibei ......"

Sister Meng chewed on the name, her eyes were a little misty, and after shaking her head vigorously, she quickly became clear, and her expression instantly became extremely shocked.

"Is that her?"

"Now I know!" Looking at her appearance, the Ninth Master knew what she was thinking, and said meaningfully.

Sister Meng wiped her forehead and said, "I know, I know." Then he smiled at Xu Beibei: "Haha, don't mind Ha Xiaobeibei, my sister was joking with you just now." ”

"......" Xu Beibei looked confused, what are they doing?

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Jiu Ye and Sister Meng, Xu Beibei came to the task office.

This is a place similar to the Great Hall of Yan Jun, and it is very wide.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Beibei saw a man wearing an ancient official uniform sitting in the hall, this person had a leopard head and eyes, an iron face and sideburns, and a strange and ugly appearance. He is the general director of the ghost catching mission, named Zhong Hui. Don't look at his ugly face, in fact, he is full of wealth and wealth, and he is a ghost with great wisdom.

After Xu Beibei entered the door, Zhong Hui didn't even raise his head, and kept writing hard. Xu Beibei didn't bother him, anyway, he didn't need to do it himself.

Xu Beibei walked to a certain little ghost on the side and handed over a group of demon spirits.

Xu Beibei was about to leave after handing in the task, and suddenly, she heard Zhong Hui shouting to herself: "You are Xu Beibei?"

Xu Beibei turned around and saw Zhong Huizheng looking at him in surprise, feeling a little inexplicable, but still nodded.

"Aha, it's you, come on, come on, claim your reward. Zhong Hui got up and greeted warmly.

"Reward?" Xu Beibei was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he ran back happily.

Help Zhong Hui catch ghosts, in addition to Yin De, when this adult is in a good mood, he will also give some extra subsidies, such as catching ghosts and the like. Xu Beibei had heard this rumor a long time ago, but he had never encountered it once, and he thought it was a false rumor, but he didn't expect to encounter it today, which was really unexpected.

I don't know what it will give? Xu Beibei is full of expectations.

As he spoke, Zhong got up and stepped aside, opened a door, and dragged out a container about three adults tall.

With a click, the door opened.

Then, like a flood-opening valve, the container was poured out of it, scattered on the ground, and stacked on top of each other.

"It's all yours. Zhong Hui said with a smile.

Looking at the rewards piled up like a hill in front of him, Xu Beibei rubbed his head vigorously: "......"

What happened!

Why are they all so polite to themselves?!
