Chapter 1: New Employees of the Church of the Dead

Next Chapter

"Da Qiu Qiu is sick, Er Qiu Qiu looks. Three mounds and hills collect medicine, and four mounds boil ......"

It was nearly evening, and the sun was hanging over the hills, and Liyue Harbor was less noisy than the day, and more tranquil.

The girl's melodious singing voice spread slowly, but the passers-by all frowned and quickened their pace. Presumably, they don't have much appreciation for music, and they can't appreciate the master's high attainments in music.

Squeak –

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting!" Seeing the visitor, the girl who was lying on the chair dangling suddenly jumped up, her little face pretending to be serious, but it was difficult to hide her inability to cope with this kind of scene.

She is the head of the generation of the Afterlife Hall, Hu Tao.

In addition to Hu Tao, there were two people in the room, a young woman with a blank face, and a young man who was handsome but careless.

"Let me introduce you, this is a new employee of our Death Hall, his name is ...... sake brewing."

"It's Liang Jiu." Liang Jiu interrupted.

"This is our guest secretary of the Dead Hall, Mr. Zhongli, last year's business sales champion." Hu Tao stretched out his arm and pointed at the young man, his beautiful eyes full of satisfaction.

"Hello." Hearing this, Zhongli smiled and nodded to Liang Jiu.

"This is the ...... of our Afterlife Hall"

Before Hu Tao could finish speaking, the young woman spoke to herself, "If only you called me the ferryman." ”

"The ferryman is responsible for receiving customers and logistics at our Death Hall, and I am responsible for handling things that involve those things." Speaking of "those things", Hu Tao paused, perhaps because he felt that he had no aura when he was standing, and sat down again. "You're a new employee, follow me in the future. If we want to build the Hall of the Dead into a warm place, we will have to work together with everyone. ”

"Mr. Zhongli......"

"Mr. Zhongli is a guest and doesn't have much to do. Before the Lantern Festival, Mr. Zhongli obtained the funeral rites of the Rock King Emperor from the hands of the Seven Stars, which increased the turnover of our Death Hall several times. ”

Liang Jiu looked at Zhongli in surprise, his eyes full of admiration.

Zhongli's face was calm, he just smiled lightly twice, and did not speak.

Hu Tao looked at Liang Jiu triumphantly, feeling the positive corporate atmosphere of the Dead Life Hall, right? Work hard, under the leadership of my Hu Tao, the Church of the Dead will definitely change everyone's stereotype.

"The moonlight is just right tonight, so I'll go first." Zhongli got up suddenly, ignoring Hu Tao's gnashing of teeth, and pushed the door and walked out.

Outside the door, the last rays of afterglow illuminate the earth in gold, just like the golden light drawn out by the eighty-seventh of the traveler's hair, which makes people feel happy.

A moment later, the golden glow was blocked by the door.

"Uh......" Hu Tao coughed dryly twice, and everyone ...... No, it was Liang Jiu's attention that pulled back.

"That's all for today's meeting, let's do our jobs!" Hu Tao snorted a few times in satisfaction, and then swaggered out of the afterlife hall.

"There haven't been any major events in Liyue Harbor these days, and the work is relatively easy, so you can get out and about Liyue more often." The ferryman looked at Liang Jiu, who was dazed, and spoke.

"You know I'm not from Liyue?" Liang Jiu was a little surprised.

Hearing this, the ferryman smiled meaningfully, "I know all the people in Liyue. Unless...... You are a non-human thing, that is the scope of the master's work, I really don't know. ”

Liang Jiu's expression was complicated, and the other party was just two plain sentences, but it revealed a lot of information.

I knew that the Hall of the Dead was not an ordinary force, but now that I have joined it, I know that this place is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"I hope that my seniors will give me a lot of advice." Liang Jiu arched his hand.

"I can't talk about teaching, but the nature of the Afterlife Hall is special, although the hall master is very arrogant, but it is always a child's heart, and there are still quite a lot of rules." The ferryman paused, looked at Liang Jiu, and then continued: "In the eyes of the world, the Hall of the Dead is for funeral services, that is, funeral rites and cremation...... A series of things that happen after someone dies. Therefore, people don't have much contact with the employees of the Death Hall. I guess you should be in the dark about what I mean. ”

"Well, it's not that people hate us, but they fear death." Liang Jiu nodded.

"Fear of death is not a bad thing, life is precious, and we do this work only so that those who have left can go where they belong."

"I wish that people in the world would not die, and would rather put up a niche and make dust......"

With the heart of helping the world, even if it becomes an existence that everyone avoids, it is still willing to become the yin lamp of the dead and the flame of the living. Its great spirit of sacrifice is singable!

Liang Jiu's expression was solemn, he didn't expect that he would actually join such a sacred place, and a sense of pride arose.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are a certainty, even if it is a divine yin, there will be a time to leave. If people don't die, it will upset the balance between the two realms, and it will affect Liyue Harbor's development as a unique tourist city and a Wenyin city. ”

"If this continues for a long time, there will be fewer and fewer foreign tourists coming to Liyue, which will lead to a decline in the business of the Dead Hall, which will make us unemployed and will have to live on the streets and beg for a living."

Liang Jiu suddenly realized that he was worthy of being the senior backbone of the Afterlife Hall, the business elite, and the director of the logistics management center.

Listen to your words, read ten years in vain!

"In that case, what's the difference with a traveler?" The ferryman shook her head, she couldn't imagine the miserable life.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let me tell you about the Afterlife Hall, the main business of the Afterlife Hall is actually psychological counseling, as well as exorcism of ghosts and evil spirits, which is the focus of the hall master and your work today. Although I don't know why the hall master arranged it this way, after all, you don't have a vision, so no matter how you look at it, you are an ordinary person. However, although the hall master's personality is a little more jumpy, he still has his own considerations. ”

"When conducting funeral services, we should try to avoid communication with family members, and it is best to do our work quietly."

"I'll give you another trick for fishing, if you don't want to move sometimes, but you have to look for materials, you can put an exclamation mark on your head, just give 30 rough stones, and the traveler will help you get everything done. Anyway, the rough stone is not unusual, and every household has a lot of it, and you can make travelers grateful to Dade by taking it out at will. ”

"Traveler?" Liang Jiu frowned slightly, he really had never seen such a humble traveler in the ferryman's mouth.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, not all travelers are, it was a blonde girl with a flying canned luncheon meat, and I don't know why she had such a passion for rough stones. Even the dogs of the Adventurers' Guild didn't do it, she had to rush to do it, put two rough stones in a garbage can, and no matter how remote it was, the traveler would always go over the mountains and mountains to find it. ”

"I often see the traveler sitting on the ground through the window, his eyes lost, saying something 'guaranteed' or 'crooked' or something difficult to understand. Alas, I don't know what stimulated this little girl to go crazy like this. ”
